"Report! Spring Creek is lost! The guards retreated to Gejia Village. ”

"Report! General Feng has arrived at Xishui Pass! ”

"Report! The gate of Heling City was broken! General Chu died in battle! ”

"Report! Wuling's 100,000 troops moved in the direction of Litang. ”

……

The battle report was sent to the third prince one by one, and there were many defeats and few victories, and he had long known that the second prince had the upper hand in terms of troops, but he didn't expect such a huge difference, he really underestimated Concubine Li, and didn't want her to lay so many dark feathers.

"Report! The 200,000 troops of the Beihuai battalion seem to be coming in the direction of the capital! ”

"What!"

The third prince suddenly stood up from the chair, and his mouth was still thinking that it was impossible, Beihuai was the elite soldier arranged by the emperor to guard the Quartet near the capital, and the strength of the troops even exceeded that of the Wuling battalion, how could the second prince have the military talisman of Beihuai, unless it was given to him by the emperor himself.

The queen listened from the sidelines and snorted: "Your father really cares more about her." ”

It is a dilemma in front of the three princes, if they continue to stay in the capital, even if General Feng arrives, it will be difficult to defeat such a large force in Beihuai, or retreat to the southwest, and the soldiers in the southwest can flank the Wuling camp, but then it will inevitably be defeated and flee.

The queen said with a straight face: "There is only one way to stay in the capital, and there is no fear of no firewood if you stay in the green mountains." ”

The hands of the three princes were about to break off the corners of the table, and even the green tendons on their wrists burst out: "This time I have no choice but to back down, I just hope that the sixth emperor brother can tell the Southern Crow King to raise troops." ”

Mu Congjin's method really worked, and the three of them went to the southwest of the mountain, and then went south to the range of the Southern Crow Clan.

Since the war with the Southern Crow tribe exhausted each other and the peace talks, the two countries have been bounded by mountains and have nothing to do with each other.

Outside the mountain pass are all guards of the Southern Crow Clan, and Mu Congjin uses the prince's waist card as a certificate to allow him to pass, but only three people with grades are allowed to enter, and the guards who follow Mu Congjin are all refused to be in the mountain.

Hua Yiwen disagreed: "I don't bring a single guard, what if they cheat?" ”

Mu Congjin said: "When we get to other people's territory, what if we bring hundreds of guards? There are hundreds of thousands of Southern Crow people outside, so if you're afraid, you can simply wait here. ”

Hua Yiwen straightened up his thin body: "Who is afraid, go, I'll take the lead." ”

As the saying goes, the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, if the Yi people living in the desert oasis are still a little docile and lovely, the Nanya people living in the bitter cold land are the brutal population that is alive and free, they are generally taller and taller, in order to keep out the cold, they all eat big shoulders and round waists, and they still look in the backward stage of totem worship, with black oil paint on their faces, and they look vicious.

The front was guided by the Southern Crow Sentinel, and the three of them followed on horseback, because the mountain pass was the warmest place, and the residence of the Southern Crow King was not far away.

Along the way, Qian Luojin was terrified, worthy of being a fighting nation that grabbed meat with wild beasts in the snowstorm, no matter men, women and children were indispensable in their hands with spears and scimitars, even children often held murder weapons such as axes in their hands, fully implementing the principle that racial temperament should start from the doll. Qian Luojin tried her best not to make contact with the surrounding Southern Crow people, and always felt that it was not unusual for them to suddenly go crazy and cut over.

Most of the Southern Crows live in tents made of animal skins, but only the Southern Crow King lives in a converted cave, no matter where the emperor is, the best things are of course kept for himself.

At the entrance of the cave, the sentry whispered a lot of unintelligible Southern Crow language.

Mu Congjin jumped off the horse, turned back to Qian Luojin and Hua Yiwen and said, "Let's get off the horse." ”

Hua Yiwen's face was full of admiration: "Congjin, do you still understand the language of the Southern Crow Clan?" ”

"Guess."

Mu Congjin's guess was correct, after the three of them dismounted, the sentry put one hand on his chest and bowed, and said a few more words to the southern crow soldier with a hammer at the entrance of the cave, and led the three of them towards the cave.

There were all kinds of beasts that had been cut off on the stone wall, Qian Luojin took two quick steps, held Mu Congjin's fingers, Mu Congjin tilted his head slightly, saw the frightened expression on Qian Luojin's face, and grabbed Qian Luojin's hand tightly with his palm.

Hua Yiwen really looked at it in the back: "Congjin, I'm also afraid, you also want me?" ”

"Uncle Hua, if you don't speak, you can still be regarded as a talent."

"Ha, my niece's words are wrong, my name is quiet like a virgin moving like a rabbit, and if you don't scream, you have already made a splash."

"yes, you're scary when you speak."

Hua Yiwen and Qian Luojin were fighting, but it also relieved the nervousness a lot, until they walked to the cave half a deep place, there is a naturally formed stone platform, a bronze beast chair on the stone platform, don't look at the Southern Crow clan living roughly, there is no ceramics and wood art, but the attainments in bronze are more superb than Guanzhong, this beast king chair has complex textures and is very wide, I really don't know how to pour it.

It may also be because there is a woman sitting on the chair, which makes the king chair extraordinarily huge.

The woman was young and beautiful, wearing a hat sewn out of the wolf's head on her head, a necklace with a crow's beak hanging around her neck, and some totemic patterns on her cheeks painted with black ink, which made her whole person have a strange and dazzling brilliance.

Even Mu Congjin didn't know who this woman was, the third prince only told him that the Southern Crow King was a tall and strong young man, obviously the woman in front of him didn't even match the gender in the first place, they were members of the Guanzhong royal family, of course the Southern Crow King should be personally received, what does it mean to send a woman? Where did this woman come from?

Mu Congjin looked left and right, and there were only some maids and guards of the Southern Crow clan standing around, and there was no historian in charge of translation.

The woman on the beast king's chair spoke first: "The prince doesn't need to read it, I deeply admire Guan Chinese, and I have read many books in Guanzhong, so I have learned the language of Guanzhong, and I don't need others to pass on the language and translate it." ”

It turned out to be a person who could "speak Mandarin", so it would be much easier to communicate.

Mu Congjin said: "The third prince of the next generation is here, and there is something important to talk to the king of the Southern Crow, please report it." ”

"I am the sister of the Southern Crow King, Brother Wang is seriously ill, it is inconvenient to see guests, if you have anything to say, it is the same as saying to me."

"This matter is a big matter, I can only talk to the king of the crow, forgive me."

The person who claimed to be the sister of the king of the Southern Crow looked Mu Congjin up and down, looked at it for a moment, and said: "Okay, you come with me, the other two don't have to follow, Brother Wang should not be noisy when he is sick." ”

"Mu Congjin?" Qian Luojin still held Mu Congjin's hand and didn't let go, although in the territory of the Southern Crow Clan, even if the three of them were together, it would be useless.

Mu Congjin gently patted the back of Qian Luojin's hand with his other hand: "It's going to be fine, you just stay here." ”

Mu Congjin continued to walk alone with the Southern Crow Wang Mei from another cave behind the king's chair, until he reached the end of this road, where there was a room where no one was staying, with a chair made of spacious animal bones, covered with the fur of a white tiger.

Sister Nan Crow stretched out her hand and asked, "Sit." ”

Mu Congjin didn't say a word, walked over and sat down, looked at each other with Nancrow Wang Mei, and finally, still said the doubts in his heart: "Who are you?" ”

"I've already said it, I'm the sister of the Southern Crow King, so why ask."

"You've read books about Duzhong, and I've also read books about Southern Crows, and 'I' is the self-name that Southern Crows can only use on the throne."

The woman suddenly laughed: "It's my negligence, since I ascended to this throne, I have even had fewer opportunities to lie, which makes my son laugh." ”

"You haven't answered my question yet, who the hell are you?"

"I am the sister of the Southern Crow King, this is not to deceive the son, but the elder brother is already the former Southern Crow King, and I am the queen who is now in charge of the Southern Crow."

As she spoke, the woman lifted the wolf's head slightly on her head, and pulled out a blood-red jewel pendant from below, which was exactly the symbol of the Southern Crow King, which was like the emperor's crown.

Mobei Xiguan blows yellow sand, the chaos in the capital is like a gust of wind, even the northwest frontier feels the vibration of the border link, the market outside the Xiguan is more and more people withering, and there has been no new caravan for a long time.

Xie Tanyuan of the Zhenguo Mansion was in charge of the 100,000 frontier troops in the northwest, which should have been the help of the three princes, but once the troops defending the frontier were withdrawn, they were afraid that the Yi people would take advantage of the weakness and suffer more from the enemy.

Xie Yanyuan was so anxious that there was a fire under his feet, he himself had long been accustomed to the days of drinking blood from the knife, but he didn't know if his parents and sisters could protect themselves in the troubled times, so he couldn't wait to grow wings and fly back immediately. He himself is also a person who uses soldiers, and he knows better the current situation of the three princes, and he also understands that keeping the stability of the northwest frontier is the greatest help to the three princes, so he does not dare to rashly transfer troops to help.

If you ask King Yi if he has the intention of taking the opportunity to invade Guanzhong, Xie Yanyuan definitely doesn't know, only a woman knows. The woman closest to King Yi in this world, in addition to King Yi's mother, there is only the alien princess from Guanzhong.

Princess Yongping rarely laughs, and the Yi people say that it is the dignified and quiet show of a princess of another race. On this day, Princess Yongping showed a faint smile to King Yi, over the years, she has learned a lot of Yi vocabulary, but she doesn't like to speak the language of the Yi people, so she always doesn't speak, dragging Princess Guanzhong's unique long skirt, and slowly walked to King Yi's side.

King Yi has always loved and respected Princess Yongping, and admired the nobility and elegance she brought from Guanzhong, but because of this, he also lost the sense of husband and wife.

So when Princess Yongping grabbed King Yi's hand and gently covered her stomach, King Yi's brain was blank.

King Yi held his unique oversized double eyelids of the Yi people, and had a little expectation in his heart, but he didn't dare to speculate, Princess Yongping still didn't speak, or the maid who served the princess knelt down and said, "The king, the princess is pregnant with the little prince!" ”

On this night, there was a fire outside Xiguan, and every household of the Yi tribe lit a bonfire, and they barbecued meat, drank, sang, and danced, celebrating that their king and the princess of the alien race finally had blood.

"Mother, the king is the king of our Yi clan, and the princess is the princess of Guanzhong, who will the little prince they give birth to be like?" Around the campfire, the little boy of the Yi tribe asked curiously.

"Our little prince will be as good-looking as the princess, and he will have the bravery of the king."

"It's going to be smart!"

"Yes, it must be a wise and virtuous prince who will give us a better life."
