Chapter 198: Helana's Death
The white-haired tiger was sent out by Cai Wei to negotiate with Saknu, although it couldn't speak human language, but Saknu knew the tiger language, and there was no problem communicating between them. Read the novel to Lewen Novel Network.lwxs520
Cai Wei's conditions and requirements are not many, first, Saknu is not allowed to beat her idea, let alone disturb her again; second, he had to hand over Le Ji and his two personal disciples, Nangong Shi and Jinzhong, and other five people; Third, Liaodan and Dajin must live in peace and never afford war!
Saknu now regrets that he didn't listen to Master Le's words and undo the spell on her, and now he not only can't get her anymore, but he has to be subject to her, this kind of spirit, but he has never suffered it in his life.
I don't know what the white-haired tiger told him, after a long time, he walked out of the hall with a gloomy face, and after a while, the two apprentices of Nangong Shi, Le Jiao, Jinzhong and Le Jiao were sent in, and when they saw the white-haired tiger standing in the main hall, their souls were scared away, thinking that they were sent to feed the tiger.
As a result, a white-haired monkey sprang out and sprinkled some medicinal powder on their faces, and although they trembled with fear, they could not resist the sleepiness caused by the medicinal powder, and they all fell to the ground and fell asleep!
Cai Wei put them into the space, ordered Changmei to tie them up, threw them into an empty room, and waited to clean them up after returning to Dajin, and wrote a letter with a pen, sending Brother Parrot back to Dajin and handing the letter to Nangong Yi.
After coming out for so long, the man must be in a hurry, and the sooner he receives her news, he can also feel at ease as soon as possible. However, with a man's temper, after she goes back this time, she must be good-looking. Thinking of this, she was not good, so she had to rush to Lingbei, otherwise after he went back, the man would not know how long it would take for the man to let her out again.
After writing the letter, Brother Parrot flew out with the letter, Cai Wei took the opportunity to sleep in the space, and at night she had to ride the white-haired tiger to run all night, she had to take advantage of the current good spirit, now she is not alone, absolutely careless.
After sleeping for a few hours, she slept full, got up energetically and made a hearty dinner, and after eating with the long-eyebrow parrot and the old turtle, she took the white-haired tiger out of the space, and took advantage of the fact that it was already dark, and went straight to Lingbei.
She hasn't been to Lingbei for more than three months, and the glass in Lingbei must have accumulated a lot, if she doesn't go again, I'm afraid Curry won't be able to put it down; In addition, Lingbei's cruel funeral system was not abolished, and Cai Wei spent several months, with the help of the old turtle and Changmei, to cultivate a fruit tree that could bloom and bear fruit in the extremely cold area, which was used to abolish the cruel and inhumane funeral system in Lingbei.
This time to Lingbei is unusual, now she is pregnant, so she is more cautious than usual when traveling, because the weather is bitter cold, she wears several layers of big sweaters, her head is also tightly wrapped, even her eyes are not exposed, only two nostrils are exposed.
The white-haired tiger carried her, galloping quickly in the night, Liaodan is very close to Lingbei, less than a thousand miles, three watches, the white-haired tiger has run to Lingbei outside the royal city, put Cai Wei in the cemetery of the Lingbei nobles on the outskirts of the royal city.
At this time, it was the third watch, and under the bleak moonlight, the cemetery in the suburbs was extremely cold. The tall black tombstone, the hideous monster carved from the boulder in front of the tombstone, and the most terrifying thing is the dense circle of women's skeletons on the periphery of the cemetery.
Many of these skeletons have been gnawed by wild beasts, and the complete skeletons are also frozen in an extremely terrifying expression, these poor women, the last days of their lives must have been spent in extreme fear and pain, and being executed in such a cruel way must have been very painful in their hearts!
The white-haired tiger said to Cai Wei that he wanted to take this opportunity to see his mother, who had not seen him for decades, and missed it very much.
Of course, Cai Wei would not refuse, and after sending him away, she said to the space.
"Come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Changmei came out of the space with a bison carrying a huge fruit tree on its back, and the tree was full of fruit.
This bison was collected into the space when Cai Wei and Saknu were hunting in the royal hunting grounds, and was originally intended to be fattened to make beef jerky, but because of this bison's docile temperament, it never destroys crops in the space, and often helps Changmei to plow the land, grind and grind noodles, etc.
Based on its various advantages, Cai Wei kept it, and after months of nourishment of the spatial aura, this bison actually had a little spirituality, at least, it could understand the instructions given to it by Changmei.
"Changmei, dig a pit in front of the grave and plant the fruit tree!"
Cai Wei gave an order, and Changmei hurriedly ordered the bison to help it plow a piece of land, and quickly dug a pit, and with the help of the bison, planted the fruit tree.
The fruit on the fruit tree was the size of an apple, and it had eight words on it: Martyrdom is cruel, and heaven does not tolerate it!
As for why there are characters on the fruit, this is all taught by those shrewd merchants in the previous life, as long as these words are pasted on the fruit, after a while, these words will naturally be born on the fruit.
Ploughing, digging pits, planting trees, and cultivating soil in the ice and snow is not a simple matter, but a huge project.
In order to keep the fruit tree from freezing to death and grow prosperously, Cai Wei deliberately transported a lot of soil from the space to plant it, and also watered it with the spiritual stream water of the space.
When it was done, the long eyebrows swept the snow from the cemetery, covering their footprints, making the cemetery look like no one had ever visited, and the fruit-bearing tree really seemed to grow out of thin air.
After a good time, Cai Wei spread a mat on the bison's back, rode on the bison's body, and let it carry herself into the royal city.
The cemetery is still dozens of miles away from the royal city, and in the past, Cai Wei had no problem walking back, but now that she is pregnant, she doesn't dare to exercise too much.
The speed of the bison is much faster than that of the domestic cattle, and the months of spatial nourishment make it walk like a fly, fast and steady, and when the sun rises, it has already reached the edge of the royal city, Cai Wei got down from the back of the bison and collected the bison into the space, so as not to be seen and surprised.
In the cold weather in the north, at this time, most people hide at home, or sit on the hot kang to drink a little wine, or do some of the things that husband and wife like to do on the kang head the most, and they will never go out if they can, so she hasn't met anyone along the way.
The road into the city was walked in, and there were very few people on the road, until she walked to the commercial street, and the number of people gradually increased, which shows that the influence of the commercial street in Lingbei is still very great.
When she saw Chaoyun, Chaoyun was excited for a long time, she looked Cai Wei up and down several times with red circles in her eyes, and then choked up and said: "Miss, where have you been during this time, the emperor has sent several groups of people to find you, I thought you had encountered something wrong, and I was in a hurry......"
Cai Wei avoided the seriousness and said, "What are you crying for?" Isn't it good for me, but you, it's been a few months, has there been any progress in the relationship with the little prince? β
When Chaoyun heard this, his face turned red, and he said: "Chaoyun said that if you don't marry in this life, why does Miss just make fun of others?" β
There was a bit of coquettishness in her voice, and her appearance was very shy, which was very incompatible with her usual indifferent temperament, such an expression and voice were something she had never had before, Cai Wei was a person from the past, and naturally understood what was going on.
The girl in front of her is obviously already in the heart of spring, otherwise she would not have such an expression and behavior, but she is still holding the last line of defense and has not been breached, but, looking at her expression, it seems that it won't last long!
After entering the house, Xiangyun brought in the account books of the past few months for Cai Wei to see, and he personally went down to make food for Cai Wei.
Cai Wei took off her big sweater layer by layer, picked up the accounts of the past few months and checked them, the accounts showed that in addition to the staff and hot pot restaurants, the business in the commercial street in the past few months has not been booming, probably because the weather is too cold, and everyone is reluctant to come out, but even if it is not good, there are still 30,000 or 40,000 taels of income.
After finishing the account, Chaoyun's breakfast was also ready: a bowl of milk and poria cream, a basket of small steamed buns, four dishes of light side dishes, and a cold roast leg of lamb. Although the meals are simple, they are nutritious, full of flavor and taste.
Cai Wei was hungry, and when she saw these nutritious and delicious food and drinks, she hurriedly came over and sat down, and was about to eat, but she heard the sound of the door opening outside.
Then a young man's voice said, "It's so fragrant, what did you make today?" β
Before he could finish speaking, the man had already come in.
Cai Wei smiled and teased: "Little prince, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's been so long, are you still eating and drinking with Chaoyun'er?" β
Tuoba Liang saw Cai Wei, stunned for a moment, and then smiled naturally, "Queen Mu doesn't know, a few days ago, the emperor came to write a letter, saying that you are gone, Chaoyun is so anxious, every day sad face, crying and wiping tears, if it weren't for Xiao Wang coming to stare at her every day to eat, I'm afraid that she will lose weight at this time." β
After speaking, without waiting for Cai Wei to answer, she turned to Chaoyun and said, "Look, isn't Queen Mu here well?" Look at you these days, people have lost a lot of weight. β
As he spoke, he sat down opposite Cai Wei, with a casual and natural attitude, as if he was in his own home.
Cai Wei looked at Chaoyun with a flushed face, and said with a smile: "Come and eat together, otherwise you will be hungry and thin, and someone will be distressed!" β
Chaoyun glared at Tuoba Liang, walked over with a red face, and sat down with them.
Tuoba Liang was very useful for his beloved's coquettishness, and during the meal, he inadvertently said, "I won't come at noon, Helana passed away last night, and I will probably have to go to the funeral later." β
Helana Yan, isn't she the daughter of Queen Jiya, the princess of Xianbei Kingdom, the woman who has coveted Nangong Yi for many years? Cai Wei raised her head and said strangely, "Good and decent, why did you die?" β
Tuoba Liang said: "Recently, the Great Khan pampered a woman from the Great Jin, Helana was very angry, several times to find the woman's troubles, were protected by the Great Khan, last night when the Great Khan's birthday banquet, Helana actually wanted to take advantage of the chaos to poison the woman, but her personal maid took the wrong cup, as a result, the Ranshi moved a stone to her own foot, poisoned herself, and pity the unborn fetus in her womb, also died together. β
"It's really harmful to others, but to yourself!"
Cai Wei sighed, and suddenly thought of Xia Jingui in "Dream of Red Mansions", when Xia Jingui was also going to poison Xiangling, but when he poisoned himself, now it seems that the selfish methods of these women must be unbearable to God, and the retribution given to them in the dark is the so-called: It is really a manifestation of heaven, and retribution is not happy!
After eating, Cai Wei went to the warehouse to find Du Yongqi and wanted to put away the glass.
When Du Yongqi saw her, he knelt down without waiting to speak, and shouted: "Niangniang, help!" β
Cai Wei said: "If you have something to talk about, don't kneel and kowtow at every turn, what's wrong, but someone is angry with you?" β
Du Yongqi said: "No one is angry with the little one, it's just that the little sister Yueniang was kidnapped by a group of masked people two months ago, and now her life and death are unknown, and I hope that the mother can help the little one find it." β
"Don't worry, it's on me."
Cai Wei agreed and said, "When I come next time, I will help you find Yueniang and bring it back." β
When Du Yongqi heard this, he was grateful, and almost kowtowed to Cai Wei. was stopped by Cai Wei. "Let's open the storeroom, I'm going to collect the glass!"
Du Yongqi listened, and hurriedly opened the warehouse, Cai Wei looked at it and was startled, but saw that the endless warehouse was full of glass from the inside to the outside, and it was almost impossible to fit!
"Niangniang, this is 150,000 pieces of glass, all of which have been produced and manufactured in the past few months, Miss Chaoyun has paid more than 30,000 taels of silver, and the remaining 110,000 taels of silver have not been paid."
Cai Wei nodded: "I know!" As she spoke, she silently said, "Close!" β
As a result, the glass of a warehouse disappeared in an instant.
Du Yongqi's eyes flashed with a moment of consternation, he hurriedly lowered his head, blocking the turbulent waves in his eyes, the queen mother has a spell, he is not the first day to know, but every time he sees it, he will still be shocked and can't sleep for a few days and nights.
Niangniang is really amazing, no wonder she can be the queen's mother, they all thought she could be the queen, just because she looked good and hooked the emperor's soul, so she climbed to the emperor, and now it seems that who climbed who is not necessarily!
After collecting the glass, Cai Wei went to Tuoba Hong's royal tent, anyway, Tuoba Hong's Yan clan died, and she came to Lingbei again, it was not good not to mourn.
In order to mourn, she deliberately changed into plain clothes and did not wear bright jewelry on her head.
When he entered the king's tent, Helana's coffin had already been stopped. The nobles of Lingbei wore white filial piety clothes and hats, raised their hands and sang songs to pray for the spirit, and slowly walked past Helana's coffin, praying for the blessing of her dead and the unborn children.
Dozens of poor young maids, all of whom had been appointed to be buried and were to be buried in a terrible cry, were on their knees, and some were crying, and were about to be buried on the periphery of the grave in a moment.
Seeing this, Cai Wei was secretly glad that she came in time, otherwise, these poor maids would have died miserably!
Tuoba Hong saw that Cai Wei also came to mourn, and hurriedly invited Cai Wei to the king's tent and personally accompanied Cai Wei to talk. Cai Wei pretended to comfort him a few words, and paid him the remaining 110,000 taels of glass silver.
At this time, a maid offered tea, and Cai Wei accidentally saw the maid, startled, and said in surprise: "Auntie, why are you here?" β
Du Meiren said gently: "Thanks to the grace of Niangniang, let us out of the palace, after I came out, I took the servant book and the ink to the north to find my father and brothers." β
As early as the last autumn hunt, Cai Wei had already issued an order to let the concubines who had not been favored by the emperor leave the palace, that is, the low-level concubines who had been pampered and had no heirs were also released by her. Now there are only a dozen or so concubines left in the palace, most of whom are high-ranking or have given birth to princesses, because the prince has long been sent to marry his own son to a fief.
"But..." Cai Wei wanted to ask, why are you in Tuoba Hong's royal tent, but she thinks it's too rude to ask like this, as if she wants to spy on other people's *, and after saying the word 'but', she didn't ask.
It was Du Meiren, who smiled gently at Tuoba Hong, and said, "Great Khan, you go to the front to get busy, I'll accompany the queen." β
Seeing that they were old acquaintances and relatives, Tuoba Hong nodded and got up to the front.
After Tuoba Hong left, Cai Weiyan came down and said, "Auntie, what the hell is going on?" How did you end up in the king's tent of Tuoba Hong? Was he robbed of it? β
Du Meiren sat down, looked at Cai Wei seriously and gently, and said, "At first, it was, but now I am willing to stay with the Great Khan." β
As soon as she heard this, Cai Wei's face suddenly showed a look of disappointment, and she felt that Du Meiren's decision was not worth it.
What's so good about Tuoba Hong, feudal conservatism, machismo, and most importantly, he has a group of wives and concubines, how can he only be good to one woman for the rest of his life? What's wrong with my aunt didn't marry such a person, she originally wanted to marry her to Cao Jin, but Cao Jin's wife just died, she couldn't propose marriage to others so quickly, I didn't expect her to send herself to the palace so quickly.
Seeing Cai Wei disappointed in herself, Du Meiren was very sad, she said: "Wei'er, when I was first robbed into the king's tent, I also thought about fighting, and even wanted to fight to the death, but the Great Khan was really good to me, he could give me a stable life, a child, and fulfilled my dream of being a woman and a mother." For me, that's enough. As for love, love, I want it if the Great Khan gives it to me, it doesn't matter if I don't give it to me, as long as I have children, I have my own children, and I can live well with my children under his protection, and I can have so much, I am already very content......"
Everyone has their own ambitions, since she is very satisfied with the status quo, Cai Wei can't afford to worry about salty radishes and make a difference for others. She said: "I heard that Helana was a woman who was favored by the poisonous Khan, and she accidentally ate poison and poisoned herself, but the woman she wanted to poison was you?" β
Du Meiren nodded, and said worriedly: "It's me, I'm worried about this, the death of the Yan family has something to do with me, I don't know if Xianbei will find trouble for me." β
Cai Wei didn't think she could have any trouble, Queen Ji Ya was dead, and King Xianbei hated Ji Ya and Helan Qing to the core, and he didn't think he would care about Ji Ya's daughter, so Du Meiren's worries should be superfluous.
However, she didn't break it, only said: "If Tuoba Hong cares about you, he will definitely protect you." β
"Well, the Great Khan also said that he will protect me..."
The two of them gossiped for a while, and while they were talking, Brother Parrot's voice suddenly came: "Master, the emperor is not in the palace!" β
Cai Wei was sure and said, "Go and see, where did he go?" β
"Yes!"
The parrot flew up, looked at it with its heavenly eyes for a while, and shouted: "Master, the emperor has arrived in the territory of Liaodan Kingdom, and is in a hurry to rush to Shengjing!" β
When Cai Wei heard this, she was immediately moved, her hand was on her stomach, and she said gently: "Quick, go to Liaodan to stop him and send him the letter, so as not to tire him ......"
Brother Parrot was covered with pimples of bird skin by Cai Wei's gentle tone, and the bird feathers all over his body stood up, and he shivered for a moment, and said in a quackling voice: "Master, is it already spring?" β
The corners of Cai Wei's mouth twitched twice, knowing that the bird was sarcastic about her being called Chun, so she laughed gloomily and said, "Brother Parrot, I need some brightly colored feathers to decorate my new piece of jewelry, why don't you lend me a few!" β
Brother Parrot snorted and said, "Master, what are you talking about?" Do I have to be too fast to hear clearly? β
After speaking, he shook his hair and rushed to the north like an arrow......
In the afternoon, the person who was sent to the cemetery to build a tomb for the Helana clan came back with a fuss with the craftsmen, and the leader was still holding a fruit frozen into ice in his hand, and as soon as he saw Tuoba Hong, he raised the ice lump fruit in his hand above his head in a frustrated manner, and shouted: "Great Khan, the big thing is not good, the martyrdom system of our Mengnu people has aroused the wrath of the Karen god!" β
In the mourning hall, Tuoba Hong and all the Lingbei nobles were watching the great wizard dance the soul dance, and when they heard this, they were surprised and said, "What's the matter? β
The man who had been sent to repair the tomb said: "When we arrived at the cemetery, we saw a strange fruit tree growing in front of the old Khan's tomb. The subordinates thought that this was the revelation brought to us by the god Karen, so they didn't dare to repair the tomb, nor did they dare to repair these burial maids into the ground, so they had to come back and ask the Great Khan! β
This sentence immediately caused a lot of commotion in the mourning hall, and everyone was talking about passing the fruit one by one, and every time it came to a person's hand, that person would definitely wipe the handwriting on it with his hand, trying to erase the handwriting, but the handwriting seemed to grow on the fruit, and it couldn't be wiped at all.
Eventually, the room filled the room with the fruit that had never been seen before, and the mourning hall fell silent.
The Great Wizard said slowly, "Great Khan, since the god Karen has given us a hint, if we disobey God's will again, we will definitely be punished by God!" β
"Yes, Great Khan, we think so too......" many chimed in.
However, the funeral ceremony is a system that has continued for hundreds of years in Liaodan, and it has been abolished all of a sudden, and many people disagree, especially those elderly nobles, who say that they do not agree to abolish the rules that have lasted for hundreds of years on the basis of just one fruit.
The arguments between the supporters and the opposition ensued, and Tuoba Hong was annoyed by their quarrels, and said that everyone should go to the tomb of the first khan to see it and make a decision.
This mention was recognized by everyone, and after the discussion, under the leadership of the very bad, the group left the royal city and went to the cemetery of the first khan.
When they arrived at the cemetery of the first khan, when they saw the leafy and vibrant fruit tree in the snow, as well as the fruit tree full of fruits, they were immediately shocked, and the hundreds of fruits on the fruit tree had exactly the same handwriting: "Martyrdom is cruel, and heaven does not tolerate it!" β
Everyone was shocked by this shocking scene, and they knelt down and bowed to the big tree reverently.
"God Karen, we know that we are wrong, please forgive us our sins......"
"God Karen, we will definitely change our ......"
"God Karen, please bless us ......"
Everyone worshiped with great piety, and even the old men who opposed the abolition of the funeral joined in, not to mention the opposition to the abolition of the funeral.
In this way, the martyrdom system that had lasted for hundreds of years was abolished in public by Tuoba Hong Great Khan in front of the tomb of the first khan under the inspiration of a fruit tree given by the Karen God!
Cai Wei only found out about this in the evening, when she had just come out of the space after a full sleep, and when she heard the news that Chaoyun told her, she smiled knowingly.
It didn't cost a single soldier, there was no smoke of gunpowder, not even a little tongue, and only a fruit tree was used to save the lives of so many innocent women, this deal is really cost-effective!
Chaoyun brought dinner, it was Cai Wei's favorite hot pot, thin slices of meat, fragrant base soup stock, plus all kinds of green vegetables, it made people have a great appetite without waiting to eat. In the cold Lingbei area, the best food in winter is hot pot!
At that moment, Cai Wei picked up the chopsticks and feasted. Tonight, she is going to Liaodan again, pick up her man, and then the two of them will go back to Dajin together. Therefore, she had to eat and drink enough so that she would not starve the three babies in her belly.
Before the arrival of the white-haired tiger, Cai Wei transported a lot of things from the space, such as leaving enough vegetables for the hot pot restaurant to eat for a month, and leaving hundreds of ginseng trees of different years to the ginseng, and leaving a lot of rice and noodles to the newly opened rice shop, and leaving hundreds of fish, dozens of pheasants and hares in the meat shop, these things are not needed in Dajin for the time being, but they can play a great role here.
After settling down, the white-haired tiger also arrived, Cai Wei put on a thick sweater, rode the white-haired tiger, and went to Liaodan......
