Chapter Eighty-Nine: The End of the World
Hearing Ichiro Yamano mention Li Hao, Qin Ran's mind unconsciously appeared with the loneliness of the young man's face - Song Tianying, which Mrs. Song stored in Qin Ran's memory, she couldn't help but feel distressed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Li Hao?"
"Li Hao should be in Linnan at this time, how could he appear in Ulanxili, thousands of miles away, I don't know if it should be Li Hao, but the appearance of the two is really similar, I must have seen it wrong when I left in a hurry, how can there be two people who are so similar in this world, unless they are twin brothers."
Ichiro Yamano didn't know about Li Hao's true identity.
Li Sheng said to the outside world that the crown prince Li Hao is not of the holy bloodline, so he is not qualified to inherit the throne, some people believe this statement, and some people do not believe it, thinking that this is just an excuse for Li Sheng to compete for the throne. On the same day in the Taiji Palace, Concubine Yu Guifei told the truth of the year, Li Yi, Zhilin, Hua Liqun, and Hua Zhen who were present were all dead, leaving Li Hao, Song Shikun and Qin Ran, and outsiders naturally did not know the truth.
And the Li Hao that Ichiro Yamano saw, Qin Ran knew that it should be Song Tianying.
Before Zhaozhou was occupied, Song Tianying failed to lead people to break through, he was injured and disappeared, and it is said that he broke an arm.
"Can that man be seriously injured?"
"Locked in a slave cage waiting to be sold, he should not be seriously injured." Seeing her ask about the man, Ichiro Yamano thought about it carefully.
Qin Ran nodded, she looked a little embarrassed, she had been stupid for Kublai Khan recently, and her brain was really not enough.

ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Early the next morning, Ichiro Yamano came to see Qin Ran as usual.
Later yesterday, Qin Ran was uncomfortable, and the maid didn't dare to bother Harun, so she had to invite Ichiro Yamano, so far, he was able to put the silver needles and ice chips that he had prepared outside the house, and late at night, Qin Ran used the technique of teleportation to transport things from the small crack at the top of the house. Qin Ran was able to use some internal force, but it was still thanks to the method of mutual restraint that Ichiro Yamano came up with, what medicine Harun prescribed, he used the medicine of restraint instead, which alleviated Qin Ran's lack of physical strength.
Worried about the melting of ice chips, Ichiro Yamano came early in the morning.
"How's Hastana's side?"
"As you expected." Speaking of Hastana, Ichiro Yamano's expression was a little unnatural.
"Let's get started." Qin Ran closed her eyes, paying attention to the movement outside, while Ichiro Yamano sealed the bloodlines of her limbs for her.
Regarding the statement that the iron chain cannot be opened, and it will only open automatically if the hands and feet of people are cut off, Qin Ran and Ichiro Yamano discussed and concluded that there should be a kind of 'thermal expansion and cold contraction' setting inside the iron chain, and when the temperature of the human body drops to a certain degree, such as the cold and stiff of a corpse, it will shrink. And that setting, Yamano Ichiro felt like a kind of parasite he had seen in ancient books, existing on top of the utensils, living on warm blood, and once there was no blood, it would go into a dormant state.
The ice flakes brought by Ichiro Yamano were not made of ordinary water crystallization, during which it was an extremely thin piece of iron, frozen in the salt ice lake for three days, it could keep the low temperature for a longer time, but it would also freeze Qin Ran's hands and feet, and the two of them didn't know when the iron chain would be opened, so they could only wait until Harun came.
"You ......" Ichiro Yamano looked at Qin Ran, he knew he had to go out.
"I can do it." Qin Ran lay down and retracted his hands and feet into the blanket. "How careful you are."
When Harun entered the house, he saw Ichiro Yamano guarding Qin Ran's side with a look of affection, and when he saw him, he looked disgusted, Harun gave him a 'please go out' look, and watched Ichiro Yamano go out with a smile.
Harun approached Qin Ran and saw that she was a little weak.
Yesterday's incident, Harun had already heard that Kublai Khan almost pinched her to death again, Qin Ran tried to resist, and Kublai Khan cleaned her up.
Seeing Qin Ran wrapped in a blanket and ignoring him, Harun leaned closer and reached out to put his hand on her bruised neck, sensing that her body was indeed very weak. Harlan was not a professional healer, but he had a different talent for medicine, and his greatest hobby was the use of witchcraft to refine various elixirs.
After Kublai Khan left Chang'an, he was hunted down, but fortunately he happened to be rescued by Harun when he stepped into the Mongolian border, otherwise he would have died. Later, Kublai Khan introduced Harun to the king of Mongolia, who took his elixir, and his condition was relieved and he became much younger.
Immediately afterwards, Harun represented Mongolia and sent an envoy to the countries of the Western Regions, bringing back not only the marriage book of Timu State, medical skills and forging techniques, but also the knowledge of Cree and Stalin's herding about planting and building.
For a time, Harun had a high status in Mongolia.
Seeing that Qin Ran ignored his existence, Harun shook his head. "Women, born lowly, take all this effort to toss, it is better to obey the prince early, not to serve men, if you give birth to a child for the prince, the prince is happy and will not be allowed to make you a princess."
"Since men are noble, why don't they pass on their own lineage and rely on women?"
Seeing Qin Ran's reaction, Harun laughed and continued. "I read the Myoho-renge-kyo and it's really good, but it's a pity that I'm at my age...... I don't know what else the prince likes about you besides your body. You said that you have been healed for a while, and the prince has not touched you, and maybe he is not so interested in you, girl, it is better to do this, you follow me, and I can spare your life. ā
"Whatever you want?" Qin Ranben's limbs were cold, cold to the tip of her heart, and when she heard his words, she threw the eye knife with absolutely lethal power over.
Qin Ran then spoke, making Harendon feel a chill.
"Over forty years old, still without a wife and no children, as frail as a sixty-year-old man, did you delve into a certain study in the early years and couldn't extricate yourself, and accidentally ingested poison, resulting in a number of abnormalities in the body, for example, the lower body can not be used normally, not to mention normal use, it is estimated that you can't even get an erection, who follows you, it is better to go to the nunnery to be a sister-in-law...... Of course, I know that you are the cause of this, and I can't blame you. You were born in a poor family, your mother is gentle and kind, but your father is a thug, so you look down on women, thinking that they are only worthy of serving people, and their only role is to give birth, you are the smartest one among many children, but your fate is still not good, it took more than 40 years for you to have the opportunity to ascend to a high position, you cherish it very much, and you are very afraid of losing it...... Harun, you are paranoid and docile, you are proud and humble. ā
"You can't do anything like this."
"Humph!" To see through, Harlan was so angry that he couldn't speak, because most of what Qin Ran said was actually right.
Harlan knocked down a row of wooden shelves and left angrily, and no one dared to enter outside for a long time.
When Qin Ran's hands and feet were numb from the cold, and his lips were bloodless, he only heard a slight sound, and the iron chain opened!
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Taking advantage of the relationship between Daiqin and Hastana and Kublai Khan, Qin Ran had the news that Ichiro Yamano had spread to the city and quickly took effect.
Princess Hastana learned that Kublai Khan had brought a famous Han woman back to Ulanxili, and turned to find Dai Qin, who was suspicious of Kublai Khan's capture of the north of Jiangling in the Tang Dynasty in just a few months, and the two guessed that there must be another mystery in this matter, and after a little discussion, Dai Qin decided to drag Kublai Khan at tonight's celebration banquet, and Hastana took people to Tata Mountain.
At the beginning of the unitary period, Kublai Khan went from his residence to the royal palace.
Kublai Khan entered the palace with the front foot, Hastana arrived at the hunting ground under Mount Tata with the back foot, and found an excuse, Hastana ordered the soldiers to capture all the Han people near the hunting ground, in order to train the wild beasts, Kublai Khan used live people to feed, now there are many Han people, and there are naturally many Han people in the hunting ground, including Yamano Ichiro who looks like a Han man.
Hastana rode a strong horse and held a leather whip, looking menacing, and Kublai Khan's soldiers did not dare to stop her when they saw her, so they could only let her rush into the house where Qin Ran was being held.
After a while, Hastana came out of the house and looked at the maidservant who was kneeling in the doorway.
She whipped it, and the handmaiden's face suddenly opened.
"Who's in there?" The moment she saw the chains, the cages, the blankets, and the torn clothes, Hastana felt like she was about to explode.
"The slave doesn't know the girl's identity." The two maidservants didn't dare to cry, so they could only keep kowtowing.
"When did Big Brother come?"
"The prince has been here three times, and yesterday he came."
Hearing the maid say that Kublai Khan had been here last night, Hastana clenched the leather whip in her hand and whipped her hard, smashing her face directly.
When Hastana saw the cage-like house, she thought that he had a naughty canary, and Kublai Khan liked beautiful women, but he never 'hid a beautiful house'!
This Han woman must be unusual for Kublai Khan.
"Where are the people?!"
"People...... Is that girl in there? ā
At this time, Qin Ran had taken advantage of the chaos to escape from Tata Mountain, and Yamano Ichiro followed Hastana's soldiers to the princess's mansion.
Ulan Xili is not as lively as Chang'an, the sun sets on the mountain, gradually closes the door, and there are almost no pedestrians on the streets.
Qin Ran had never been to Ulan Xili, but through Ichiro Yamano's detailed description, she entered the city and quickly went to the market where slaves were sold in the west of the city.
The status of slaves was lower than that of the common people, and sometimes they were inferior to cattle, sheep and livestock, and in wartime chaos it was not surprising that prisoners of war and outcasts appeared in the slave market, and that strong men and beautiful women were the best-selling goods, while those who were sick and yellow-skinned were not easy to sell.
When the market is closed, the traders drive the caged slaves back to the cellar like livestock.
Qin Ran changed into men's clothes, passing by the largest Qinglou in the city, there was no such place in Ulanxili before, this is still copied from the south in the past hundred years, dynasty officials and merchants Jia Da people love to come here to play, next to the Qinglou is the slave market.
Fortunately, Qin Ran has learned some Mongolian language recently, she doesn't look like a Mongolian, she dresses up a little, and there is no problem in playing a little white face with someone behind her who can spend money like dirt, she went to the slave market, found the house where Song Tianying was, threw the gold, and went straight to the cellar to pick people.
As soon as he entered the cellar, a foul smell hit his face, and Qin Ran almost couldn't breathe.
There is no sunlight inside, cold and damp, the air is not circulated, it is easy to get sick, and once the person dies, he is thrown into the barren mountain immediately.
Seeing her like this, Mengren Xiaosi joked that she didn't have to come, she was really asking for trouble.
Qin Ran kicked over and scolded him a few words.
Xiao Si smiled and said that he was too talkative, and stood outside the door and did not go in again.
The light was too dim, Qin Ran looked around several times and didn't see the person she wanted to see, and when she walked to the door, she called his name in Chinese, and someone looked up at her.
"You're not Song Tianying." The man by the door had an injured arm and was infected and suppurated, he was not Song Tianying, but he obviously knew Song Tianying, in order to make him trust himself, Qin Ran continued. "I'm General Hua's man."
"Before the market closed, he sold it...... Qinglou. "There is no reason for the man not to believe the person in front of him, they are at the bottom anyway, and there could be no worse situation than this.
Knowing that the injured man was also a soldier of the Anbei Army, Qin Ran only said for a while to find a way to save him out, she didn't know how Kublai Khan would react to her escape, and taking him out at this time would hurt him.
Time was pressing, Qin Ran got out of the slave market and turned back to the Qinglou.
Gave the bag of gold, Qin Ran hugged the famous Goryeo prostitute and planned to go around the Qinglou, half of the shopping, Qin Ran had already learned favorable news from her, two quarters of an hour ago, General Rida asked several Han men to go back to the heart pavilion.

ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Zhaozhou was captured by General Rida, who was supposed to go to the palace tonight to attend the celebration banquet, but he was not feeling well earlier and took leave and did not go, and in the evening, he was itchy and couldn't hold back the internal fire.
Rida came to the Qinglou to have fun, and the steward knew his habits, so he went to the slave market to find a few young and strong men.
Unfortunately, Hita knew one of them.
The portraits of Hua Yanjun, the general of the Anbei Army, several deputy generals and his nephew Song Tianying have long been made into a book, and the Mongolian generals who went to the battlefield all have a book, and if they kill these people, the Mongolian generals and soldiers have rich rewards.
Therefore, when he saw Song Tianying, the fish that slipped through the net, General Rida was quite excited, and when he played him, he could hand him over for merit, which was really a big bargain!
Closing the door, General Dida tied Song Tianying to a pillar, took a thin leather whip, and whipped him again and again on his strong chest.
The soldiers outside the house knew that the general would not come out for a while, and the two soldiers simply sat at the door, listening to the sound of the whip and the muffled snort of the man, the soldiers looked at each other and smiled, and each lowered his head and dozed off.
After a while, the soldier suddenly heard a click, and the two of them came to their senses, and the sound of the wine jug breaking the floor came from the room.
The soldier hurriedly got up, pushed open the door, and saw that the two of them were entangled on the spacious blanket in the center of the room, one was lying flat, and the other was sitting on the person.
The soldier ducked far away, and after a while, one of the soldiers said. "General, when did you like that posture?"
"How do I know...... But then again, that little girl's back is so seductive that it makes me ...... Suffered, the general is not the man who points tonight?! ā
For the sake of the general's safety, the two soldiers hurriedly slammed open the door again, but there was no one inside, only General Rida, who was lying on the ground and had already given a fatal knife.
