It was another year's Adult Day, and Yao Xitong had already felt the atmosphere of the festival as soon as he stepped into the territory of Beiliao.

Young Northern Liao boys rode ponies in groups around the grasslands in search of prey, and no matter what they hunted, as long as they had a catch, they could say goodbye to their childhood and become warriors in the tribe.

Yao Xitong wandered around the grassland, and this would be his home for decades to come.

His daughter would marry a steppe warrior, and his son would be the king of the place, and he and his wife would be able to walk around the steppe when they were bored. When you are thirsty, you can find a herdsman to go in and ask for milk tea. Hungry, from yellow sheep to hares, there is never a shortage of food in the grasslands......

Smoke billowed from the front, and hundreds of guards rushed towards him.

"Feng Gongzi, Wu Zu asks you to return to the palace quickly. ”

Yao Xitong raised his eyes and looked at the cold trumpet bird flying high in the sky, this beast was more powerful than the eagle falcon, but he was afraid that he had just entered the grassland and received the news.

"Something is going on in the palace?"

The man at the head said with an ugly face, "There is nothing in the palace, we are all looking forward to Prince Feng's return to the palace." ”

Yao Xitong was "flattered" and rushed back to Daliao surrounded by hundreds of guards.

The people went outside the city for the festival, and the entire imperial city was empty and there was no one there. Without waiting for Yao Xitong to get off the horse, the tow wood post who heard the news hurriedly came with a child in his arms, and put the child into his hand with a smile, "Little Wang Ba is handed over to you, I still have something to do." ”

Yao Xitong looked at the wooden post with a frosty face, "Little Wang Ba?"

Tuo Mu Ti pointed to the guard behind him, "He will explain to you that I am really in a hurry!"

The guard who was named said helplessly: "The little princess has never been named, and the wolf lord usually calls her little turtle, or little king." ”

Yao Xitong looked at the crying child in his arms, and felt very sad, even if it was a daughter, she couldn't let people be so cheap. He asked angrily, "Where is your wolf master, outside the city?"

"The wolf lord is in the palace, and he has already ......" Before the guards finished speaking, Yao Xitong had already left with the child in his arms.

Xiao Bao'er was looking at a pile of sheepskin rolls and frowned, when she heard footsteps and her daughter's cry, she held her head in her hands and said loudly, "Hurry up and take her away, I can't stand it." ”

Yao Xitong asked coldly, "You don't like our children so much?" Hearing the familiar voice, she was surprised at first, and looked at Yao Xitong's eyes motionless.

"Why don't you answer?

"Dead turtle, you're finally back, woo...... Woohoo......"

Xiao Bao'er cried loudly, and their children cried even more when they heard the crying.

Yao Xitong was completely panicked, and he didn't know who to coax.

"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying like this? Who bullied you?"

Xiao Baoer pointed to the child in his arms, "She bullied me, tortured me all day long, it was so painful to give birth to a child, I am still a child, and I don't know how to raise a child......"

The guards guarding the door looked at each other, as if they hadn't heard the sound of the palace at all. The waiting grandmother couldn't stand it, so she took the child out of Yao Xitong's arms and coaxed it, which made the two quiet for a while.

Xiao Baoer wanted to feed herself after giving birth to make up for the regret that the princess of Northern Liao had not taken care of her. But she has to go to court during the day and watch the excerpts at night, and she can't hold on in a few days, so she can only let the tow sticker take care of the children.

Since then, the child does not want her to hold her, only to drag the wooden post, but when drinking milk, only recognize her, not the nursing mother, very difficult to serve!

More than a month after giving birth, she and Tuo Muti, the two most important people in Northern Liao, were tortured to death by this child.

As for the child's milk name, she thinks that Yao Xitong is a turtle, and his child is called a little turtle, and the turtle looks similar to Wang Ba, and occasionally calls Xiao Wang Ba. The people of the Central Plains think that Wang Ba is not good, there is no such thing in Northern Liao, and the turtle Wang Ba is almost the same in their mouths, and there is no derogatory meaning.

Yao Xitong finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Xiao Bao'er after giving birth, not only was she not fat, but she lost a lot of weight, and comforted: "You have suffered, I will not leave in the future." A good word, but Xiao Bao'er exploded, and the overturning case hit him.

He quickly left the palace and ran outside, Xiao Bao'er chased after him, and the two stood on the roof and started fighting.

"If you have something to say, why do you have to do it, you are weak. ”

"What do you mean in the future, resolutely not in the future, it's your fault that I'm so miserable......"

Except for silence, Yao Xitong didn't know how to answer the conversation, so she could only stand on the roof and be beaten by her.

"Why don't you fight back, you think I'll forgive you like this, dream!"

Yao Xitong symbolically took two moves, and she scolded again, "You actually dare to fight back, knowing that I just gave birth to a child, and you beat me, are you human......"

The guards in the palace began to be very nervous, and found that the two of them were walking on the roof, Yao Xitong blindly ran away, and they were just not seeing anything, and they were beaten by the two. Occasionally, I will sigh that the Central Plains martial arts are magical, and the wolf master's martial arts are indeed good, etc.

At night, Yao Xitong took over the tow post and kept holding the child and coaxing, it was the nature of father and daughter, and the little guy actually slept when he was full, which made Xiao Baoer very happy.

After the festival, the ministers were surprised to find that the irascible queen had suddenly begun to reason. The nervous Wu Zu also left the court and went deep into every tribe to pray for the herdsmen to heal their illnesses.

I feel that after Feng Gongzi came back, everything was developing in a good direction.

The minister is happy, but Yao Xitong's life is not so happy, coaxing the children and listening to Xiao Baoer's grievances has become the norm of life.

On this day, Xiao Bao'er was breastfeeding the child, Yao Xitong looked at it and couldn't help but put her head in her ear and said, "Xiaoxiao, from the beginning to the end of the war, I haven't touched you for a long time." ”

Xiao Bao'er didn't raise her head and said, "No, I will have a child." ”

"Xiaoxiao, didn't you just say that you miss me very much,"

"Yes, I want you to help with government affairs, help with the children, and make food for me. You don't know how miserable it is to be a queen, and you have to listen to the minister's chatter every day telling me what to do and what not to do......"

Hearing that she began to complain again, Yao Xitong instinctively wanted to comfort her, and after thinking about it, he asked: "You did it on purpose, deliberately throwing the child to the tow sticker, deliberately pretending to be impatient when you went to court, and you will beat someone if you don't like it." You're doing this so that I can secretly help you with government affairs, and they won't talk much?"

Xiao Bao'er didn't look at it with a weak heart, "No." ”

Yao Xitong sighed, Xiao Bao'er saw things much longer than him. As soon as the war ended, the fruits of victory were being carved up within Northern Liao, and letting him leave at this time showed that he did not participate in the affairs of Northern Liao and would not pose a threat to the Northern Liao magnates.

When the civil strife calmed down, the courtiers found that the new master was not at all easy to serve, and he was moody, and no one in the court could restrain the new master. At this time, he came back, and the new master suddenly changed his personality, making the courtiers realize that if they wanted to restrain the new master, the best way was not to exclude him and give him up.

The political situation in Northern Liao suddenly became a cycle, Xiao Bao'er was in charge of the minister, the minister was in charge of him, and he was in charge of Xiao Bao'er.

Thinking of this, he said, "Thank you, Xiaoxiao. ”

"I thought very clearly when I went out this time, no matter how beautiful the mountains and rivers are, they can't be as beautiful as the picture of a family reunion. No one will deliberately provoke a war, the Central Plains is really too weak to resist the Northern Liao, and I do not rule out helping you to attack the Central Plains. ”

Xiao Bao'er said casually, "According to the report, Xuan Ze took the initiative to give Xiao Chun several cities in the Song Land close to Great Xia. It's inevitable that the world will be divided into three parts, but neither he nor Xiao Chun wants to use war, do you know why?"

Yao Xitong chuckled, the problem is very simple, Northern Liao has unified the grassland, and if a war breaks out in Great Xia at this time, it will simply create an opportunity for Northern Liao to attack. Xuan Ze is not stupid, he would rather give the land to Xiao Chun than give Xiao Chun and Xiao Bao'er the opportunity to form an alliance to attack Chen Di together.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Xiao Bao'er continued: "We know what they are thinking, in the winter of this year, I will lead my troops to attack Chendi and completely take Ulan for myself." ”

This is something Yao Xitong didn't expect, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Bao'er, as if he wanted to ask: Why!

"The best way to consolidate imperial power is to war, to turn internal contradictions into external contradictions, and victory will make people forget that their wolf lord is a woman. ”

Yao Xitong still doesn't understand, doesn't Xiao Baoer not want the throne?

"It's easy to sit on, but it's not easy to get down. My father forced me to sit up, and I had to sit down no matter what. Besides, you and I are tied together, can you go back?I heard that the Black and White Pavilion offered a high reward for your head because you killed their pavilion master. ”

Speaking of this, Yao Xitong asked, "Do you know how Mei Shiren died?"

"Bai Songmei killed it. ”

"Then do you know who the Black and White Pavilion is in now?"

Xiao Bao'er thought for a moment and asked hesitantly, "It won't be Jair, right?"

"It's him, this person not only designed to kill the fox, but also betrayed Xiao Chun. ”

Xiao Bao'er sighed, Xiao Chun, the emperor, is not easy, and Jianhua's betrayal must have come from King Chun's failure to fulfill his original promise and rehabilitate his father.

"Jairus is the master of the Black and White Pavilion, who is paying for your head?"

"Myself. ”

Xiao Bao'er was silent, Yao Xitong did this just to give an explanation to the Northern Liao people. Tell them that the world is so big, but he can only stay in Beiliao and can't go anywhere.

"I forgot to tell you something, the rhino incense is fake, and my father asked the old witch ancestor to make it. Saying that, she explained everything about the rhino incense to Yao Xitong in detail, as well as the intentions of the king of Northern Liao.

The old god Yao Xitong was listening, and there was no curiosity on his face.

"You guessed it a long time ago?"

"I've always believed that my destiny is in my own hands. ”

"If ......" Xiao Bao'er wanted to ask if she stayed in Chen Di at that time and didn't go to Song Di to find Xuanze, although the King of Northern Liao would still die, Yelu Zongyuan was not necessarily.

Yao Xitong pressed her lips, "Xiaoxiao, there are no ifs in this world, and no one can change what happens." If your cousin were alive, would he be able to watch Santo ascend to the throne, or would the throne be given to him, and Santo would be able to keep him alive?"

"I don't know, I can't even believe that everything about rhino incense comes from my heart's thoughts, I have never trusted Xuanze. I ......" Xiao Bao'er wanted to say, maybe deep down in her heart, she didn't trust Yao Xitong, and as soon as the words came out, she felt that such a statement was too cruel, and she couldn't help but stop.

Yao Xitong didn't care, time is far more convincing than the oath. Instead of swearing, think about how you can improve your life.

"Xiaoxiao, I have come up with a way to make you eat and drink happily as before without sitting on the throne. ”

"What's the solution?"

"Let's have a son, and he'll be on the throne in just ten years, and we'll be able to get out of here and play around, what do you think?"

Yao Xitong's beautiful eyes were full of sincerity, Xiao Bao'er thought for a while, and complained in a low voice: "Why is it a woman who gives birth to a child, can you give birth?"

"Xiaoxiao, ten years, you are not yet thirty, we have a lot of time to travel the mountains and rivers and eat delicious. I'm excited to think about it, don't you think it's time to do it sooner?"

"You seem to have a point!"

Xiao Baoer was carried to the bed in a daze, and seemed to forget to ask, what if she was still a daughter!

At the end of the year, because Xiao Baoer was pregnant, the plan of Northern Liao to invade the Central Plains was shelved.

Another year of coming-of-age day, the little prince was born.

The ministers of Northern Liao breathed a sigh of relief, wishing that the little prince would grow up quickly and let Xiao Bao'er retreat into the background early. They were really afraid of Xiao Bao'er's uncertain personality and Feng Gongzi, who stood behind her.

In the autumn of the same year, Tian Ji refused to pay tribute and proclaimed himself emperor in Qi. Knowing that he married Wu Ya, Xiao Baoer seemed to have just known Tian Ji, and couldn't figure out how to figure it out.

Yao Xitong comforted and said that this was all an expedient measure, Tian Ji did not kill Wu Ya that day, he expected such a day.

Tian Ji is different from Xuan Ze, the latter relies on himself to fight for every thing he gets, Tian Ji doesn't need it, and taking shortcuts has become a habit. Marrying Wuya can completely subdue the Wu people, and at the same time, you can use Wuya to deal with the Luo family. If you want to fight for the world, a partner like Wuya can be of great help to him.

Xiao Bao'er couldn't figure it out, she couldn't figure it out, and asked innocently for a long time: "Isn't he afraid?"

Yao Xitong held her in his arms and said distressedly, "Temptation is greater than fear, once a man's ambition swells, it is a bottomless abyss, and nothing can be satisfied." ”

"Why don't you have ambitions?"

"Who said I didn't, it's just that I have experienced too much and know how to make trade-offs. ”

Not long after Tian Ji became emperor, the fake empress dowager died in Shouning Palace, and King Chun ordered Xuanze to lead the army to crusade against Tian Ji, and found out the tragedy of the Sima family, and decided to investigate thoroughly.

When the news reached Beiliao, Yao Xitong seemed to have expected it, and said seriously: "I know that you plan to take the opportunity to attack Chendi. Go ahead, I'll watch the house, and I promise that there will be no mess. ”

War is inevitable, Yao Xitong always remembers that he is from the Central Plains, and he can't do it anyway to attack Chendi.

Xuan Ze was not ordered to crusade against Tian Ji, but stationed troops on the border and fought head-on with Xiao Bao'er's army.

The former lovers met on the battlefield, both familiar and strange.

Xuan Ze did not hesitate when he waved his gun to meet the battle, Xiao Bao'er did not do it like last time, as long as she stayed on horseback, there would be warriors to fight for her. This look seems to be saying to Xuan Ze: Look, apart from you, there are many men who are willing to fight bravely for me......

The Xia army was defeated very quickly, with the Chunjiang River as the boundary, and most of the territory of Chen Di became Xiao Bao'er's bag.

Just as the Northern Liao army was trying to cross the river to fight, Xiao Baoer received a letter from Yao Xitong.

The letter said that there were two reasons for Xuanze's defeat in this battle. First, the Xia army was divided internally, and Xuanze sent all those disobedient soldiers to the front line and killed them with the help of the Northern Liao army. Second, Xuan Ze didn't want to win, and if he won this battle, it would be harmful to him as emperor.

In addition, once the Northern Liao army crossed the Chunjiang River, the terrain would change from grasslands to hills. The most powerful thing in Northern Liao was the cavalry, and its advantages could not be brought into play in the hilly areas at all. If you don't pay attention to strategy and tactics, after crossing the Chunjiang River, the Northern Liao army will be defeated.

Did there be a general in Northern Liao who knew how to fight in the hills?

No.

Xiao Bao'er stopped at Chunjiang is the right choice.

Soon after the end of the battle, the Song region was divided, and part of it was under the jurisdiction of Bactria and part of it was under the jurisdiction of Xuanze. At the same time, Xuanze was called the emperor, and the three-point pattern of the Central Plains had been decided.

In the Great Liao Palace, Yin Yao was running around with a girl with pigtails, and Xiao Bao'er's son, who had high hopes, was hugging Xiao Hei and crying and said: "I don't want to learn to ride a horse, don't learn martial arts, it's terrible, it's terrible!"

"Dead turtle, do you really rely on him to inherit the throne in ten years?

"If you can't let your daughter inherit, you see how brave she is, she dares to ride on Yinyao's back. ”

"No, a girl's best days are to eat, drink and be merry, and I can't bear to let her be queen. ”

Yao Xitong pretended to be pondering, and then said, "Why don't we have another one?"

Xiao Bao'er nodded with a pained expression.

As soon as the two left, the prince, who was still crying, immediately wiped away his tears, hugged Xiao Hei and said, "Cat, let's go out and steal dried meat to eat!"
