β€œβ€¦β€¦ Looking at their outfits, they should be Yi people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

Duan leaned over the window, glanced at the dozen or so people on the side of the road, and whispered to Gu Jialuo.

"Yi?" Gugaro did not study much of these minorities, she only stayed in the afterlife for four years, and although she read many books, she did not reach the point of being a jack of all trades.

Therefore, the Southwest Yi tribe is almost the same in her impression, and there is no difference between the costumes and anything.

Seeing Gu Jialuo's eyes full of doubts, Duan Shi was not surprised, and explained to her carefully.

She used the clothes of the first woman to give Gu Jialuo 'popular science', what silver jewelry shoulder drape, what silver jewelry buckle, what silver jewelry waist circumference, and talked about it one by one.

Gu Jialuo listened with great interest, women, naturally interested in clothes and jewelry.

With the life experience and knowledge of later generations, although she was not like many noblewomen at that time, when she mentioned the Southwest Yi tribe, she would think that she was a wild man who drank blood, but she still didn't expect that these Yi tribes would also have such exquisite clothing.

Look at the jewelry worn by the Yi woman, the workmanship is very exquisite, and in terms of skills alone, it is not worse than the craftsmen in the Central Plains.

Moreover, those jewelry are very interesting, the same collar hundred locks, the Han family's hundred locks generally have at most three tassels, but the woman wears a hundred locks with five tassels, and two or three tassels hang down under each tassel, and decorated with delicate gadgets.

So many small silver objects are gathered together, and it is very festive.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I didn't expect that the Yi tribe's clothing and ornaments were so exquisite,"

Gu Jialuo nodded slowly, but his gaze kept on the woman.

For some reason, she always felt that the young girl seemed to be hostile to her own group.

Duan said with a smile: "Grandma Gu doesn't know, the Yi nationality is also a nation with a long history...... "Don't always think that people are outsiders."

"Hey, have you ever seen a young man in his twenties?"

The young woman who was discussed by Gu Jialuo and Duan pointed to a certain guard of Qi Jinzhi and asked in stiff Chinese: "He is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, with a white complexion, and a bookish body, he looks very learned at first glance!" ”

The woman happened to point to Qi Dayong, the captain of the guard.

Qi Dayong is Qi Jinzhi's personal soldier, who once stayed with him in the southwest camp for two years, and has a slight understanding of the situation of various ethnic groups in the southwest.

Qi Dayong knew at a glance that this woman was from a good background, and she was a leader in the family, so he didn't care about her faux pas, and replied: "No." ”

The woman frowned, looked carefully at Qi Jinzhi's group, and continued to ask, "Who are you?" Where are you going? ”

If she is not mistaken, the carriage carriage clearly has the logo of the Qi family, and the surname Qi is extremely hated.

When she went out this time, she was looking for someone, but if she ran into an enemy, she didn't mind taking revenge.

Qi Dayong had been on the battlefield, and he had a natural instinct for murderous aura, he felt the malice emanating from this woman, and couldn't help but be vigilant, and replied quietly: "Our lord is an official appointed by the imperial court, and he went to Wumeng to take up his post. ”

"Umon?"

The woman looked weird, and looked at Qi Dayong with the eyes of a fool, "It's all over thereβ€”forget it, you Han people have always been cunning, maybe you can handle it." ”

Wumengdu is about to be occupied by King Liang, and the people of the Great Qi court still dare to go to the post?

Tsk, if you go, you will die.

For those who were destined to die, the woman lost her mind, waved her hand, and led a dozen of her men to ride away.

"Hey, you made it clear!"

Qi Dayong stretched out Erkang's hand, looked at the loess on the official road speechlessly, and scolded secretly: There are no rules, what a barbarian girl!

The carriage convoy continued to move forward, Qi Dayong sat on the horse and thought about it, and finally drove the horse to Qi Jinzhi's carriage and said in a low voice: "Uncle, the little one has something to do." ”

Qi Jinzhi was talking to Meng Fu about the affairs of Yunnan, and when he heard this, he paused, raised his hand and lifted the curtain of the car: "What's the matter?" ”

Qi Dayong repeated the woman's words in a low voice, and then said: "When the barbarian girl mentioned Wumeng, her expression was a little strange, and she wondered if there was something going on there. ”

Someone asked for directions, and Qi Jinzhi also heard it, but he didn't take it to heart.

It was Qi Dayong's words that caught his attention, "Oh? What else did she say? ”

Qi Dayong scratched his head: "Oh, she finally whispered 'send death' or something." ”

Die?

Qi Jinzhi frowned. This is the second time someone has 'reminded' him to be careful.

"Okay, I see," Qi Jinzhi waved his hand and sent Qi Dayong down.

Then he turned his head to look at Meng Fu and said in a deep voice: "What do you think of Master Meng's book?" ”

Meng Fu touched the two whiskers on his lips, thought for a long time, and said: "My lord has trained in the southwest, and he should know about the rebellion of the previous dynasty." ”

Qi Jinzhi nodded.

Qi Gaozu raised troops to overthrow the tyranny of the previous dynasty, and the former king of Liang ruled the southwestern provinces, and was later driven to Yunnan by the Great Qi.

It's not that Qi Gaozu didn't want to completely wipe out the Liang rebellion, but at that time, the battlefield in Liaodong was tight, and compared to several big enemies in the northern grassland, the idea of the strength of the King of Liang in the southwest was nothing at all.

And after Qi Gaozu pacified the Liaodong, Northwest and other henchmen, his old man also got older, and then there was a great purge for the founding of the country, and many veterans who could fight well were killed, and then Grandpa Gao also died of illness.

The new emperor ascended the throne, did not change the decree in the first few years, and when everything settled down, there was a war between the crown prince and the king of Shu, and the court party fought fiercely, and he couldn't take care of the small turmoil in the southwest for a while.

The situation in the capital is changing, and there are changes in the government from time to time, which gives Liang a chance to live, and after a few decades, the old Liang King died, and the Xiao Liang King inherited his father's business.

Xiao Liang Wang grew up in the southwest, and he was accustomed to life in the mountains and forests since he was a child, and he was more cruel and ambitious than Lao Liang Wang, always thinking about restoring his ancestral business. Even if you can't occupy the entire Great Qi, you still have to enclose this piece of land in the southwest into your sphere of influence.

Therefore, in recent years, King Xiaoliang has colluded with the local Tusi to provoke the contradiction between the Yi and Han people, and attacked the southwest camp, and various small actions are very frequent.

Last year, there was a small-scale rebellion in the southwest, and the fuse was of course Qi Qinzhi who shot and killed the concubine of Weining Xuanfu, but there was no lack of bewitchment and incitement from King Xiaoliang!

"It is speculated that Liang Wei may have sent troops to attack and disturb the county seat of Wumeng."

Meng Fu contacted the recent situation in Yunnan and the strange woman's words, and said with a little worry.

"......" Qi Jinzhi didn't say anything, but his expression already approved Meng Fu's guess.

When he left Beijing, Qi Lingxian told Qi Jinzhi that there would be a battle in the southwest sooner or later, and he was already ready to fight against Liang Wei in his heart.

But when he heard about this at first glance, Qi Jinzhi was still a little surprised and faintly worried.

He wasn't alone this time, his wife was in the queue.

Qi Jinzhi unconsciously turned his head to look at the carriage behind him, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

Meng Fu understands Qi Jinzhi's mood very well, in fact, he is even more bitter, his parents are still 'guests' in Beijing.

For the sake of his parents and his own future, Meng Fu took a deep breath and said: "Actually, it's nothing, as far as the humble officials know, there are not many people under Liang Wei's jurisdiction, and there are no more than 3,000 soldiers under his direct command. The only thing to worry about is the local toast and the gentry. ”

As the saying goes, the iron-beaten toast and the flowing water dynasty, the Central Plains dynasty has changed, and the emperor has changed one stubble after another, but those toasts in the southwest are ancestral fathers and fathers, and basically there is not much change.

If Qi Jinzhi wants to make a career in Yunnan, he has to deal with the toasts.

But these people ...... Meng Fu couldn't help but shake his head, it's really hard to deal with.

"Although I have been in the southwest for a few years, I am mainly in the southwest camp, and I don't know much about the situation in Yunnan."

Qi Jinzhi sought truth from facts, and was not afraid of exposing his shortcomings, so he humbly asked for advice, "What kind of toast are there in the various departments of Wumeng?" How many gentry are there? Please also ask Master Meng to explain it in detail and listen to me. ”

Of course, Meng Fu would not hide it, took out a piece of paper, listed several names, and explained them to Qi Jinzhi one by one.

The rest of the trip went smoothly.

When he left Sichuan, entered Yunnan, and passed through Shimen Pass, Qi Jinzhi specially ordered Qi Dayong and other guards to be more careful.

It is extremely cautious to send people to explore the way ahead, especially when passing through the mountain passes.

However, they did not encounter the 'bandits' mentioned by Tang Zhixian, and the group entered Yunnan smoothly.

On the morning of this day, the carriage convoy passed through a secluded mountain forest, and when it turned the mountain pass, it suddenly heard a faint shout of killing.

The guards who opened the way in front of the head hurriedly grabbed the reins, and one of them turned his horse's head and ran to the back as fast as he could.

"Send two clever men over and have a look,"

Qi Jinzhi had already been mentally prepared, and he was not surprised when he heard that there was a battle ahead, so he calmly commanded.

Qi Dayong agreed, and personally selected two clever people to explore the way, while he led the brothers to guard the convoy with increased vigilance.

"Hey, what's going on up ahead? But what happened? ”

Gu Jialuo sat with Zhou Niangzi and Duan Shi eating tea and chatting, and suddenly found that the carriage had stopped, and couldn't help but ask worriedly.

The guard outside heard the voice and hurriedly replied: "So that the eldest grandmother knows that there seems to be some dispute ahead, and the uncle has already ordered someone to check it." Please rest assured that grandma is still in peace. ”

Gu Jialuo nodded, they brought so many guards, as long as it wasn't a sneak attack by a large number of enemy troops, there shouldn't be any major incidents.

However, just when Gu Jialuo put his mind at ease and was about to continue eating tea with the two female dependents, a mournful shout came from far and near, "Help, help!" ”

Qi Jinzhi got up and walked out of the carriage, and without waiting for anyone to help, he jumped out of the carriage by himself, "What's the matter?" ”

What a guard the Qi family is, how could a stranger rush over shouting for help all the way?

Qi Dayong rode his horse to the front, directly stopped the man covered in blood, and asked sharply, "Who is coming?" ”

The man wiped the blood from his face and cried: "So-and-so, so-and-so is Wumeng's post man, there are 100,000 urgent news to be sent to Fucheng, and I don't want to meet the rogue halfway to intercept and kill ......" (to be continued.) )
