Before going to Gredan, Qin Ran returned to the Mongol family who took her and Ichiro Yamano. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Xiao Ran, didn't you say that you would be able to come back on the same day, why did you delay for so many days, do you know how worried I am?" The moment he saw Qin Ran, Ichiro Yamano's anxiety, worry, and irritability for many days seemed to have found an exit, and it was finally released.

That day, Yamano Ichiro waited until late at night, still did not see her, he went to wait for her outside the city at dawn the next day, in recent days the wind was strong, he waited for two days and nights, but the body fainted from the cold, or the Mongolian brother who took in the two carried him back.

It can be seen that she walked in front of him safe and sound at this time, and Ichiro Yamano instantly calmed down. "Are you in danger? If there are any injuries, let me see. ”

"Are you sick?" When he got closer, Qin Ran found that Ichiro Yamano's face was pale.

"It's cold, it's not in the way." Ichiro Yamano waved his hand, not intending to tell him that he was not lightly ill, and when he saw her return safely, he felt that he was half cured, and Ichiro Yamano noticed that she had some problems walking, and looked down at her legs. "Do you have a leg injury?"

"Gave the wolf a bite."

Since Ichiro Yamano was willing to stay with her, there was no need to hide anything from him, Qin Ran roughly told him about the events of that day.

The Daiqin team stopped at a midpoint and waited for Kublai Khan's team and Geldan's team to arrive at a certain place, the Daiqin team went to Geldan to ask for support, and at the same time notified the masked people who had been ambushed to attack Kublai Khan's team, of course, Daiqin could not really snatch the gold, silver and jewels recovered by Kublai Khan, he just wanted to divert most of the Geldan's team and take the opportunity to burn the grain. As for the massacre they encountered later, Qin Ran guessed that it should be Kublai Khan's men, Kublai Khan led his troops to drill all year round, and only his people were the most well-trained.

After listening, Ichiro Yamano then asked the doubts in his heart. "He's just an unfavored prince, why did Kublai Khan and the others have to plot to put him to death?"

"He is not favored, but the king of Mongolia knows that he is the most obedient, the most honest, and the most reliable son, in recent years, many unprofitable and offending jobs, the princes have basically thrown to him, Yamano-kun, do you remember that you told me that Gredan's status in the hearts of the people is not low?"

"Yes."

Ichiro Yamano heard that the water conservancy works in the northwest and the road opening and repair in the southwest were completed by people led by Gredan, and it took five years, and since the age of sixteen, Gredan's stay in Uransili has been nearly three years.

"These are his political achievements, and when other princes have no competitive advantage, his past is the greatest advantage." Qin Ran saw the potential in Gredan, as long as the timing was right, the person who was least likely to become the king was also likely to ascend to the throne.

After hesitating for a moment, Ichiro Yamano looked at her.

"Xiao Ran, this is what you want? You want him to sit in the position of King of Mongolia? He became a king, can he help you get revenge? ”

"Nope." Qin Ran knew what she wanted to do, she would use the resources she could use, and she would not simply pin her hopes on others. "I don't want him to avenge me, I just want to clear the roadblocks ahead, and everyone takes what they need."

She ascended the throne for Gredan, and she only needed him to trust her.

Revenge - don't be sneaky and sneaky, she wants everyone to watch her Qin Ran fight back!

At that time, Ichiro Yamano didn't understand the true meaning of Qin Ran's words, and he listened to her continue.

"Because Gredan's biological mother was a slave, his attitude towards the slaves and ordinary people around him was very different from that of other princes and princesses, and when the Dai Qin team sent people to ask for support, they specifically mentioned that innocent people were suffering, and Gredan immediately took people with him after hearing this, he was kind by nature, cared for the people, and acted decisively; When he returned to the city, he met some old people and children on the road, and they all greeted him, indicating that he was very friendly and kind. ”

Through a short period of understanding, Qin Ran saw his strengths and also saw his shortcomings.

"He is not indecisive, but a woman's kindness, too worried about others, lacking the domineering of the king, although he is not easy to change his mind by others, but his stubbornness happens to become a stumbling block for him to take the first step, if he steps out, his firm will will also become the cornerstone of his success."

Thinking of ...... "If Gredan is unwilling to get involved in the fight, when will her original plan be realized, and whether she will stay by his side all the time, Ichiro Yamano can't help but worry about this.

"Rest assured, he will change, it's just not time."

The development of the Meng Dynasty seems to be in Qin Ran's eyes, and her will will be firmer than that of Geldan.

"Xiao Ran, as long as you know what you're doing." Ichiro Yamano just wants to be by her side, whatever she has to do, as long as she doesn't lose her way.

Subsequently, the two left the Mongolian family and went to the prince's mansion in Gredan.

When Qin Ran and Ichiro Yamano came to the south of Ulan Xili City, and when the two saw the dilapidated prince's mansion, Qin Ran couldn't help but have the idea of a long way to go.

Will it never be possible to wait for Gredan to take the first step?

…………

…………

The most luxurious place in Ulan Xili is the palace, and then the palaces of the major princes and princesses, there are several courtier mansions are quite large, and most of the buildings in the city are similar to the southern style, but in terms of refinement and luxury, its degree is far less than that of the Tang Dynasty.

The Mongolian people were originally nomads on the grassland, and there were many mobile yurts on the grassland, and important towns such as the capital city formed a fixed building group, Qin Ran understood the country's development model, but she couldn't quite accept that the prince's mansion was like a ruined temple!

This conclusion was obtained by Qin Ran from comparing Dai Qin's Prince's Mansion and Hastana's Princess's Mansion.

"It's like a clean, tidy temple."

Ichiro Yamano's words are much milder.

In fact, the feeling of the two is quite accurate, and the predecessor of the prince's mansion in Gredan is really a temple.

Similar to the situation in the Tang Kingdom, the prince of Mongolia moved outside the palace after he became an adult, he could use the vacant courtyard, or he could build a new house, and there were many sons and daughters of the contemporary king, and when it was the turn of Gredan to choose the site, the treasury was tight and the idle land was scarce, so some people proposed to move the temple that had been dedicated to the gods and Buddhas in the previous dynasty and was destroyed during the war and then unused to move to Gredan, and the king sent someone to repair it simply, and Gredan left the palace and moved in.

Today, a few years later, Qin Ran is standing in front of the Prince's Mansion, and he can fully imagine what it looked like a few years ago.

It seems that the king of Mongolia is really a perverted oppressor, let his son do so many things as a coolie, but he is so stingy.

After the two of them passed the word, an uncle with a beard on his face called Ajida came out to greet them with a smile, Ajida can be said to be the steward of the Gredan Mansion, because he is responsible for all the big and small things, in fact, there are not many slaves in the Gredan Mansion at all, and the slaves originally rewarded by the king have already been released by him.

The most populated place in the house is the residence of the princess in the north.

Because Gredan is not powerful, the minister is unwilling to marry his daughter to suffer, and Gredan also does not want to drag down the girl of the commoner family. Therefore, Gredin had only one of the king's concubines, the Rising Sun Gaowa, who was three years older than Gredan, and gave birth to a little prince, Saub, who was three years old this year.

Gredan said that Qin Ran and the two were his friends, and Uncle Ajda arranged them in the best room, and after Qin Ran saw Gredan's house, he confirmed that it was indeed the best room.

Qin Ran didn't dislike the environment was too bad, but really understood the king's slamming.

But things are often not what they seem.

Later, Qin Ran learned that the king was not so picky, the poverty in the Gredan Mansion was completely his 'self-inflicted', the king had rewarded him with jewelry, food, and he also had a monthly allowance, but he only left the amount of daily expenses to maintain the palace, and the excess materials were all distributed to the families of the soldiers who died in the line of duty.

"Xiao Ran, do you see what else you need?" After tidying up the house, Ichiro Yamano asked her.

Qin Ran shook his head and said. "You pay more attention to your body and eat some hot food."

To tell the truth, Qin Ran never worries about money, the Zhao family has always been very good in running a wine shop, the Qin family, as a well-off family, is not short of silver, and when she went to Chang'an, Song Tianyan arranged everything for her, food, clothing, housing and transportation, it was not bad. Even if she is out, with Qin Ran's skills, it is not difficult for her to ask her rich sons and daughters to 'share' some silver, and she still feels that she should take it for granted, and it is called resource sharing.

But taking the matter of grain as an example, if it weren't for the appearance of Bai Cang, Qin Ran would not have been able to help Geledan pass so easily.

Cangsong Pavilion has undoubted strength, it can transfer so much grain in a short time, and use the relationship of the Hohe Hao people to ask them to help send it to Ulanxili. At this point, Qin Ran understood how deep Yu Niang's hatred was for her, and Qin Ran had completely picked up a big bargain for nothing.

Before that, Qin Ran didn't have any thoughts about Cangsong Pavilion, but when she needed the materials and network behind Cangsong Pavilion, she knew its importance.

Therefore, Qin Ran had to thank that person.

More than a hundred years ago, the Pavilion Master of Cangsong Pavilion, or the captain of the ship, only he had the ability to create a scorching cold, and only he was able to draw her portrait a hundred years ago.

Qin Ran once asked Bai Cang, if the scorching cold falls into the hands of someone else, that person will also use it, what will you do.

Bai Cang replied: The Soul Returning Garden is located in the southwest, and the scorching cold is not for nothing in the Returning Soul Garden, because this is all ordered by the Pavilion Master a long time ago.

Before the pavilion master left, he left behind the scorching cold and a portrait, only when the person who could use the scorching cold appeared, the wise man of the Elders' Council could open the portrait, and when they opened the lifelike painting, they saw that the woman who appeared on it was Qin Ran.

He knew she was coming, he knew she was going to be in the southwest, he knew she was going to need the cold, he knew she was going to need money......

What he owes, Qin Ran will not be able to pay it off in his lifetime.

…………

…………

On the second day, Gredan was about to go out, and when he ran into Qin Ran, the two of them were together.

The prince's palace in Gredan was in the south of the city, not far from the city gate, and it was so far from the road, but the road was narrow and he met his half-brothers.

Far away, a teenage Mongolian boy saw Gredan, he shouted first, and Gredan couldn't pretend not to see him leave.

"Yo! Who should I be, isn't this the Gredan who has made great contributions recently, I heard that you were very angry in front of your father yesterday, and you broke hundreds of people, and you just transported the grain back intact, Gredan, your luck is too good! ”

The man next to the boy, several years older than him, said with a smile. "Seventeenth brother, don't you know where Gredan? Sleeping in the land of gods and Buddhas every day, can you have good luck? Hahaha! ”

The people who came were the eighth prince and the seventeenth prince, and the two were followed by seven or eight guards, and when they saw the two laughing, the guards laughed along.

"It's nothing, I'll go first." Gredan's face was cold, and he said that he was leaving.

"What's the hurry?" As soon as he saw that Gredan was about to run, the seventeenth prince hurriedly stopped him and turned his gaze to the little man beside him.

The seventeenth prince looked at Qin Ran, and the eighth prince followed and asked. "Gredan, is this your newly bought slave? It looks like a Han Chinese. ”

"Starling, you are wrong about this, how can he be a slave, he must be a Han friend and good brother of Gredan." The seventeenth prince couldn't help laughing, they never regarded Gredan as a brother, because everyone knew that he was an outlier and liked to treat lowly servants as brothers, so Gredan hardly had any contact with any prince and princess. "Gredan, are you going out of the city early in the morning to herd cattle?"

Gredan didn't want to hear it, he tugged at Qin Ran's sleeve. "Let's go."

This kind of mocking scenes and words, this is not the first time that Gredan has met and heard, for so many years, Gredan has long been used to it, his left ear goes in and out of his right ear, he has never taken it to heart, but it is a little harsh when it falls in Qin Ran's ears.

Qin Ran raised his eyes and glanced at the Seventeenth Prince, and then his words sarcastically returned. "Sure enough, you can meet some stupid cows in the streets and alleys of Ulancili."

Qin Ran said this in standard Mongolian language.

"What did you say?" The seventeenth prince was stunned for a moment, how dare this Han man use Mongolian to imply that he is a stupid cow?

Compared with the seventeenth prince, the eighth prince is a man of action, and his brows are tight, and he speaks. "Come on, drag him down and smash his mouth!"

"Starling, he's my friend." Gredan took a step forward and blocked Qin Ran behind him.

At this time, the seventeenth prince jumped out angrily.

"What about your friends? Hit it, hit it! ”

As he spoke, as soon as the seventeenth prince waved his hand, the guards were about to step forward to pull Qin Ran. How could Gredan see Qin Ran being bullied, besides, it was obvious that the eighth prince and the seventeenth prince deliberately provoked trouble, and Gredan was about to say something, Qin Ran bypassed him and stared at the seventeenth prince.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the person who thinks and deals with things here is a wise man." Qin Ran pointed to his head and said with regret on his face. "You can only use brute force, and you have to rely on the strength of others to complete everything, I don't think it's as good as a cow, how to choose, you think carefully."

The implication is that if he wants to use the guards to teach Qin Ran a lesson, he is really not as wise as a cow.

"Look at me, I don't teach you a lesson!" The seventeenth prince was so angry, he had always been the one who squeezed others, where did anyone dare to sneer at him, and his words were closed, the seventeenth prince rushed to Qin Ran, seeing that she was small, and was ready to slam her to the ground.

Gredan was stepping forward to stop the seventeenth, but Qin Ran stepped forward quickly, and with a slight push, he stopped the seventeenth prince's advance.

Her hand rested on the shoulders of the seventeenth prince, and with a hard squeeze of her fingers, the seventeenth prince's face immediately changed, and suddenly, the seventeenth prince's forehead was full of sweat, and his eyes were covered with tears in pain, and his shoulder blades seemed to be crushed for her!

"Your Royal Highness, impulsiveness is the devil." Letting go of his hand, Qin Ran winked at him, as if smiling.

Glancing at Gredan, Qin Ran motioned for him to go.

As soon as the pain eased slightly, the seventeenth prince moved his shoulder, and when he found that his shoulder blade was not broken, he jumped up and shouted at her back. "Little man, stop there, I'm not in a good state today, you have the ability to make an appointment with me alone!"

The seventeenth prince plans to go back and make up for the wrestling and teach her a deeper lesson!

Qin Ran didn't bother to look back at him, and floated out a sentence slowly. "Unfamiliar, no."

Then, Gredan took Qin Ran out of the city.

"You don't have to pay attention to them, they're bored all day, like flies behind a cow's butt." After saying it, I felt that it was a bit rude, and it was not appropriate to say it in front of a woman. "I'm sorry, you don't have to deal with them anyway."

After leaving the city, the two went straight to the east.

There is an unnamed mountain in the east outside the city, and there are some rare beasts in the mountain, but there are not many people who go up the mountain to hunt all year round, even if they pass by, they walk around.

Goshawks streak across the sky, and beneath the blue sky is a cemetery.

The cemetery is surrounded by tall and thin pine and cypress trees, and from time to time birds chirp, if the birds do not chirp, only the sound of the wind blowing through the branches and leaves, and more often than not, it is a deathly quiet.

A small flag was planted on the top of the stone tomb, and Gredan said that it belonged to the clothes of the deceased before his death, and the small flag made of this clothing cloth was the way to summon spirits.

In ancient times, it was important to enter the soil for safety, even if it was a broken arm and leg, it had to be buried in the soil.

Stopping at a new tomb, Gredin took out a pot of liquor that he had brought with him, made a straight line, and sprinkled it in front of the graves of many people who were buried together.

"They went out with me, and when they came back, they were cold corpses."

After paying respects to the soldiers buried yesterday, Gredan went to an old grave halfway up the mountain.

"This is Baolig, my best brother, we grew up together, when we were young, we used to wrestle on the grassland, and when we were older, we raced horses, hunted, ate and drank together, and he was the only child in his family. When my father sent me to the southwest of Meshayi to open a path, he went with me without the knowledge of my uncle and aunt, and in the second year of his reign in Meshayi, in order to save me, he fell down the mountain, and when he found him, he gave the wolf nothing left to eat. ”

Gredan did not elaborate on how Bolig fell down the mountain, but after he finished these few words, he paused for a long time, as if recalling every detail of that year.

For this kind of memory, Qin Ran knows that it is not easy, it will not blur with time, but will deepen the imprint in his heart.

Just like Qin Ran, she didn't dare to think back to what kind of will Jin Zuo had held out for so long in the palace that day, until the man in black rushed away.

It was almost noon, and Gredan came out of a memory, and he got up and said. "Let's go, let's go to Tori's house."

Although three days had passed since the day of his injury, Tori had suffered a lot of injuries, and when he returned to Uransiri, Gredan let him rest for a few days.

Some of the common people of Ulansili lived outside the main city, at the foot of the nearby hills or in the woods or in the distant grasslands, and because of Gredan, Tori's house was outside the city, and the two had to go back.
