The wedding day is sweet and short, there is no time to talk to me, and on the third day after the wedding, Qing'er can't wait to embark on the journey to Mongolia with her daughter-in-law Ximei. www.biquge.info The two of them rode Qing'er's fast horse from Beijing, galloping through the thousands of miles of snowfield, like a sharp arrow. This is a flat river, all the scenery is covered with snow, the sky and the earth are white, and the cold wind whipped on their faces and bodies, without affecting the tenderness and sweetness between the two people. They brought enough dry food and water, rode the white horse named "Qianli Ju" by Zhang Qingxin, and galloped on the Mongolian steppe.

A good horse is a good horse, and Qing'er and his wife came to the residence of the eldest princess Gulun in a few days. After being informed, the two were allowed to meet. Walking through the red felt and coming to the seat of the princess and his wife, Zhang Qing made a big salute according to the Mongolian etiquette taught by Ximei in advance, and the noble and beautiful Gulun eldest princess in her early forties smiled kindly. With a warm, warm smile, Qing'er could almost immediately conclude that she was Prince Rui's sister - their smiles were too similar!

"Miss Ximei, who is this young man who came with you?" The princess left her seat and walked towards Hime. While pulling up Ximei, she looked at Zhang Qing, and it could be seen that she liked Ximei very much.

"Back to the princess, this is, is Ximei's newlywed husband. His name is Zhang Qing and he is a Han Chinese. It's from the capital. ”

Zhang Qing knelt on one leg, hugged his fists to the princess and the county king, and said: "In the next Zhang Qing to the princess and the county king, the princess and the county king are auspicious!" "Zhang Qing used the etiquette and etiquette methods in the palace to greet the princess and the prince of the county.

"Oh! Do you still have the etiquette of the palace? Very good. Come, young man, come to the main palace, and the main palace has something to ask you. "The princess is very majestic and very amiable.

Qing'er approached the princess, who looked him up and down for a while. He asked, "How do you understand the etiquette in the palace?" Your origins are not simple. ”

"Back to the princess, it's not that the origin of the lower is not simple, but the owner of the lower is the personal guard of the former emperor, and he follows the etiquette of the palace. When you see the princess today, you naturally have to use royal etiquette. Qing'er's expression was not confused at all.

"Then this palace asks you, which of the former emperor's guards is your master, and what is the grade?"

"The master below is a first-class guard with a knife, Zhao Tieyan."

"Oh. His mother is ......"

"My old lady used to be the maid of the current Empress Dowager."

"Kikige? Hongu seems to have heard of it. Young man, it's not that this palace doesn't believe you, the matter of the alliance is very important, and there can't be the slightest sloppiness. Thank you for your understanding. ”

"The princess did the right thing, and she can fully understand it."

"Good. Hongu has been away from Beijing for many years, and I really want to see people from my hometown, and I also want to know the situation of my relatives. When I see you, I feel very kind. When did you leave Jingshi? What's the big deal in Beijing? You can tell Hongu. ”

"I don't know what kind of thing the princess wants to know" Qing'er's attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and she is calm.

"Do you know Prince Rui? Ever heard of him? The princess asked the princess bluntly.

"Back to the princess, I know Prince Rui below. Before coming to Heilongjiang, I also went to the palace, and the horses under him were all given by the prince. Zhang Qing is also very straightforward.

"What do you say? You—Do you know Prince Rui? Then tell me, how is he now? Can you straighten your waist in the middle of the court? "The princess is very excited, she can finally know the true situation of the royal brother! She hadn't seen her brother since she was born, he had been absent from the palace, became a monk, and became a monk in Longyun Temple, only twenty miles away from home.

"Back to the princess, Prince Rui is not going to court. But the reputation of the government and the opposition is very good, he is now doing business, not for the kind of business that makes money for himself, but to hand over all the money he earns to the emperor and send it to the treasury for the use of the country. Therefore, the former emperor and the empress dowager, as well as the current emperor, relied on him very much. He is very benevolent, especially of good character. ”

"And how familiar are you with him?"

"Back to the princess, the master's father used to be Prince Rui's personal guard, and the two families are a family friendship. has a low status, and he doesn't often meet the prince himself, but he is like a brother with the head of the Rui Wangfu. This manager is the elder brother of the prince Xiao Fujin. "Zhang Qing is telling the truth, without any concealment or exaggeration.

"Okay, come here, first enjoy a table of banquet for Miss Ximei, the leader of the Oroqen tribe, and then go to the palace to reminisce about the old days and discuss the alliance plan."

Qing'er told the princess a lot about Prince Rui, and told the princess everything he knew. Including the prince's family situation: his wife and children, as well as the titles of the prince's two princely titles.

"Princess, Prince Rui is the real auxiliary of the Qing Dynasty! And that Ao Bai is a sinner of the Qing Dynasty! How many things he has done to hurt innocent people for his rights and desires! A single enclosure pushed hundreds of thousands of Manchu and Han people into a situation of homelessness. And Prince Rui selflessly dedicates everything! Who has ever heard that all the hard-earned silver is given to the treasury? Except for the capital that remains, the rest is sent to the treasury. Qing'er and the princess talked about the prince's "exotic trip", which shocked the princess so much that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time. Prince Rui is her half-brother and half-brother, and he is the closest person besides her husband. She listened to Qing'er with tears streaming down her face. I am full of admiration and admiration for this brother who I have never met, and I feel that the alliance is hopeful!

"Zhang Qing and Ximei listen to orders!" The princess resolutely said, "Order your husband and wife to be the special envoys of the alliance, enter Beijing in ten days, and contact Prince Rui as soon as possible, and ask the imperial court to reinforce the weapons and ammunition of our border tribes, red-clothed cannons, and train the soldiers of the border people, in order to increase the combat effectiveness of the border people and the skillful use of weapons." The palace will repair a book, please bring it to the brother of the palace. ”

"Yes, Zhang Qing obeyed."

The princess and her husband are the leaders of this alliance, and of course they can give orders. Qing'er and Ximei received the order and prepared to return to the Ussuri River. The princess said: "Zhang Qing, you are a person with national integrity and a chivalrous heart of righteousness and bravery, you will save people in danger when you see them, and participate in things that are beneficial to the nation, very good, righteous, brave, and a hero!" This palace likes it, and decided to recognize you as a moth son, can you agree? ”

"The princess is really in love, how can Zhang Qing He De get such favor from the princess? Fathers and mothers, please be worshiped by the children! He knelt down on his knees and kowtowed three times to the princess and the king of Bandi. The princess said to her husband, "What do you think of our son?" ”

Bandi Junwang smiled honestly and said, "This son of ours is both wise and brave, very good!" ”

The husband and wife both left their seats and hugged Qing'er. The princess said, "This son of ours is very handsome, the king! Ximei girl found a wishful husband for herself in the end. ”

Ximei smiled shyly and said, "Princess, you laugh at Ximei." ”

The next day, Qing'er and Ximei left the princess and his wife, and took the letter and gift written by the princess to Prince Rui, and wore the "Beizi" grade clothes given by the princess and his wife Ximei on the way back to the Ussuri River.

Ximei is very happy that her husband has received special love from the princess, which shows that the princess attaches great importance to Zhang Qing. They laughed all the way back to the house. Ximei is a cheerful girl, and her newlywed husband is naturally happy when he shows his talent, and he laughs all the way. Qing'er knows that the scope of life of the Oroqen people is very small, and the way of life is also very primitive and simple, and they do not have a long history of the Han people, so whether the Han people are intentional or not, relatively speaking, people feel very scheming. Ximei expressed her dissatisfaction with Qing'er having a lot of words that she didn't say like pouring beans into a bamboo tube. Qing'er is not a scheming person, he is not good at words, and there is no need to "don't admit yourself" when you say something, it is easy to cause trouble.

Seeing his wife's happy appearance, Qing'er was also infected, and he who had always been restrained and shy made a joke with Ximei: "Daughter-in-law, do you know what you look like?" ”

"Like what?"

"Like a haha bird, haha, haha, haha, ......haha,

"Okay, you're kidding me! I'm a haha bird! In the future, it will be next to your ear hahahaha, ahaha...... "She really haha, she couldn't hold it back, and she couldn't stop laughing. whipped on Qing'er's horse's buttocks, "Tell you to make fun of me!" ”

Qing'er's horse was taken aback, and immediately jumped out like an arrow, spreading its hooves and galloping. Thanks to Qing'er's work, he was okay, otherwise he would probably be thrown off the horse. In this case, the only way to do this is to run on horseback. Qing'er laughed, turned around and said, "Stinky girl, you have the ability to catch up!" The snow mist rose under the horse's hooves, and Ximei caught up with the horse's belly, and the young couple frolicked on the reckless snowfield.

Suddenly, Qing'er's horse lost its front hooves and fell into a snow pit with the others. It's obviously a trap, dug by people and used to catch people. Sure enough, the hidden man came out, a big Mongolian man with a beard, laughing, and saying in Mongolian: "Look where you spy is running?" Someone come and tie it up for me! The bundle is sturdy! ”

So Qing'er tied it up like a zongzi, and was put into a trap by this bearded Mongolian strong man. Ximei was in a hurry, picked up the horsewhip and whipped the man, and said sharply: "Let him go!" He's my husband! ”

"Hey! Your husband? It's weird and scary. The bearded man dodged the whip and said jokingly, "This little white face is dressed in the clothes of a Mongolian shellfish, and he can't even say a word of Mongolian, isn't he a spy?" Say! What are you men and women doing when you are walking in the ice and snow, not to find out about the military? Don't talk nonsense, pull them to General Batu for interrogation. ”

Qing'er is so angry! Why is it so unlucky? Ximei regrets this! Looking at her husband who was tied up strongly, I was about to cry in distress. She and the bearded man yelled, "You let him go!" Did you hear that? You're a deaf person? Or a fool? ”

The bearded man ignored Ximei's shouting at all, and pushed Qing'er unceremoniously towards the depths of the birch forest, and Qing'er shouted, "What are you pushing?" I'll go myself! ”

The bearded man pushed again: "I'll be angry when I see the spies that the Rakshasa devil has bought!" You're not fucking honest! No matter how honest you are, don't blame me for being unkind to you! ”

"You're the spy of the Rakshasa devil!" Qing'er was so angry that she stretched out her feet unexpectedly, but the bearded man was defenseless at all, so he plunged into the snow pit, leaving his face covered with snow. Ximei relieved her hatred now, laughed and shouted: "Okay, good! Throw you a dog gnawing mud. ”

The bearded man brushed away the snow on his face, did not retaliate, and smiled: "Your kid's temper is not small, let me kowtow before the New Year?" It seems that your kung fu on your feet is not bad, and there are not many people who can trip me up. ”

Qing'er didn't bother to pay attention to him, looking around at the surrounding environment, it was estimated that this was a hidden checkpoint. The bearded man is not like a bandit, if only the bandit could have killed himself just now. Is it the official army? He thought in his heart. It took about three or four miles to get to the place where General Batu was stationed, as the bearded man said. It is a wooden house, very sturdy and primitive. Qing'er was brought into the house and brought to a general who was reading a book with his back in silver-white armor. Don't ask this must be General Batu, the Mongolian general, who should feel very young.

"General, my subordinates have caught two spies, a man and a woman." The bearded man said to General Batu, "The man has been brought, and you must interrogate him carefully and carefully, for this boy is not bad at his feet!" The bearded man reminded.

"Ah, I see, go down. General Ben is going to ask carefully, it's very fresh, there is actually a female spy, let this young man loosen his bonds. ”

Qing'er threw the untied rope on the ground, and asked angrily, "You military master, you didn't ask and said that we were spies, what did we probe on you?" ”

"The anger is not small", General Batu put down the book leisurely, turned around, Qing'er was stunned: "How could it be him?" ”

General Batu was also stunned: staring at Qing'er, motionless.

"Young Master! Young Master Tie Yan! Qing'er pounced desperately.

"Qing'er! My good brother! The two men hugged tightly. Tears glistened in his eyes. Ximei's eyes were also moist on the side, she was very smart, and she had already guessed that this handsome general might be Brother Qing's master. Where is the relationship between master and servant, it is clearly a brother! This stinky Zhang Qing is hiding from Ximei!

Tie Yan noticed Ximei's existence and asked Qing'er: "......Who is this Oroqen girl?"

Qing'er scratched her head and said embarrassedly, "She is Qing'er's daughter-in-law Ximei," and then whispered in Tie Yan's ear: "Newly married!" ”

Tie Yan punched Qing'er in the chest; "You kid, you'll find yourself a daughter-in-law, now I don't have to worry about it." Laughing as he spoke. Suddenly, he said to Ximei: "Brother and sister, this kid didn't say that he doesn't have a daughter-in-law at home, right?" ”

"Huh?" Ximei didn't understand Tie Yan's joke for a while, thought for a while, and then giggled: "General Batu, you really know how to joke, it scared Ximei a lot!" ”

Qing'er was reminded and asked, "Young Master, why did you call a Mongolian name?" How did you get here? ”

"It's a long talk, let's eat first, and then we'll talk about it in detail."

Zhao Tieyan served Zhang Qing a table of affordable meals, two large cakes, a large pot of hand-grabbed mutton, and a large plate of sauced beef. Ximei, who has been living in poverty, feels that it is too rich. Except for eating meat dishes from the eldest princess Gulun, I haven't eaten a bite of meat in the past two years. But you can't be too arrogant on this occasion, right? Zhang Qing said: "Ximei, don't you dislike the young lady and lady of the Han family the most like that?" You can eat as you please, and our master and servant will talk. ”

Tie Yan also said: "Brother and sister, you don't have to look at us, you just have to eat well." There is no maid to serve here, you are free. ”
