Chapter 745: General Batu
After being full of wine and food, Tie Yan and Qing'er talked about everything after parting, and Tie Yan first told him what happened to him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Most of the light men in the prison city have been transferred to the banks of the Ussuri River. The battle line along the river is very long, thousands of miles, and there are many soldiers of the Qing Dynasty who are scattered to carry out patrol tasks, and there are not enough manpower at all. Therefore, the people who were transferred were scattered to various patrol posts one after another. This situation may be known to the prison lord in the prison city, and he is very grateful to Bing'er for saving his own life and saving all the fathers and elders of the twenty-eight stations, and taking special care of Bing'er's father. Mr. Hua had already told Tie Yan all about the situation of the Prison Lord, so when the Prison Lord knew that Aobai's brother Mulima was going to inspect the border camps, post stations, and prison cities, he protected Tie Yan very strategically. There was once a prisoner named Batu in the prison city, who died of illness. He is about the same age and figure as Tie Yan. Tie Yan took Batu's name when he was transferred to the border line, and as for Zhao Tieyan, of course, he "died of tuberculosis and vomited blood, which is known to everyone in the prison city."
Sure enough, the first thing Mu Lima did when he came to the prison city was to find Zhao Tieyan, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled people in the prison city were all instructed by the prison lord, and they all said that Zhao Tieyan died of tuberculosis. The county officials are not as good as the current management, and the governor Mu is big, but he will leave as soon as he comes. Like a marquee, his fate is still in the hands of the prison lord. Besides, Zhao Tieyan is a very good person, and he is willing to help anyone with any difficulties. In this way, everyone's testimony is still credible, and Mulima can only admit it. He was also commissioned by his nephew to inquire, and there was nothing to say when he died. But why didn't Ao Bai's promise to Scarface be fulfilled? Why is this scarface gone? Another solution is gone, is it for Zhao Tieyan to be killed? cough, death is dead, death has no proof, anyway, it's two solutions, and it's not a great big man, forget it. That's it. The border guards on the border are also messy, where they come from, who asks whose details? Maybe I'll die one day.
Tie Yan is a very serious person, since he learned that his father-in-law Lord Su was killed, he almost has no illusions about the existence of his wife and son. Will there be eggs under the nest? The nine tribes were also destroyed. I'm alone! If nothing else, this body's martial arts are still somewhat useful. So it's become a little cynical, but it's still much better than others when it comes to key things - after all, I've been in front of the emperor for many years. On a river patrol, he heard a cry for help from a small nest by the river, so he ran over, only to see the leader of a bear-like Rakshasa soldier holding an old fisherman in her fifties and forcibly indecent her. Is this still personal? Without saying anything, he tore up with that guy. Although the enemy chieftain is strong, he is not as flexible as Tie Yan, and with the help of several of Tie Yan's brothers who patrolled the river together, he got this big guy to the river, and his head was pressed into the river and he almost didn't kill him. Everyone said that he was going to die, but Tie Yan said that he was not busy, and he would take him back, and he might know something useful in the first trial. So he brought it back to the camp and handed it over to the general for personal interrogation. Sure enough, from this guy's mouth, he knew a lot of enemy troops in Jacosa City, and exchanged him for a general who was captured by the Rakshasa soldiers, and Tie Yan made a contribution. He was promoted to a captain who patrolled the river, and then he gave advice to the general, was adopted, and was promoted to a general, so that he could give full play to it and become the capable general of the general. I was recently sent to this secret outpost, because there have been spies spying on the border guards recently, and I didn't expect to meet Qing'er here!
Qing'er also told Tie Yan about a series of encounters after returning to Beijing, first telling Tie Yan that Wenjuan and Bing'er were still alive, and that she had given birth to a girl named Lu'er when she returned to Beijing, Tie Yan said in surprise: "Is it? I have a daughter? How is she? Can you talk? ”
"Good, good, smart and clever, and very beautiful, very much like a young lady."
"Okay, great, Wen Juan, did she give birth well?"
"This time, don't worry if it goes well."
"That's good, that's good, let Bing'er's matter scare me. You go on to say. ”
Qing'er told him about the unjust murder of Master Su, the martyrdom of Mrs. Su, the disappearance of Bing'er, and the sale of Wenjuan's mother and daughter as subordinates. He said: "On the day of the accident in Sufu, Qing'er went home to repair the house, otherwise she might be killed, or Bing'er couldn't go missing, don't worry, Qing'er knows that what you are most worried about is the whereabouts of the young lady's mother and son." You made me saliva,"
Tie Yan hurriedly poured water for Qing'er. said: "I know Lord Su's temper, and I would rather bend than bend." In the face of a power traitor like Aobai, he can only be wronged. It's a pity, my mother-in-law is also a backbone person. You just said that Wen Juan's mother and daughter were sold as subordinates, how could they be regarded as subordinates? Where did it go, you say! How did Bing'er go missing? How did you find it? ”
"Don't worry, listen to Qing'er speak slowly. The young lady went to the kitchen to find food for the young lady, this child is also strange, no snacks, hungry to corn paste, the young lady can only lead her to the kitchen of the house to find, just arrived at the kitchen, the Royal Forest Army broke into the courtyard where the kitchen was located. You think, the young lady is the master, and she will definitely be imprisoned or ...... Anyway, now that I think about it, it has something to do with that guy who stuffed something, can he not take this opportunity to retaliate? Fortunately, the young lady went to the kitchen. There was a cook surnamed Li in the kitchen, and such a thing happened to the previous master, so in an emergency, he grabbed the ashes from the bottom of the stove and wiped the young lady on her face, and put on the coat of a cook for her, so that she was pulled to the market as a cook to sell. She is a daughter, where has she been insulted like this? Hey, those people who bought people still think she's ugly, no one buys it! Later, a young man came and bought her back. ”
"Ah, young boy? Isn't that the end of that? ”
"Don't worry, have you forgotten that the young lady is ugly? The cook surnamed Li has done something to accumulate great virtue! Just because the young lady was ugly by her and still had a child, no one wanted to buy it. Ugly is a trivial matter, anyway, he bought the current person and worked, the problem is with a child, who wants to raise one for nothing? At this time, a young man appeared, and without saying anything, he bought the young lady and mother and daughter back. As soon as he bought it, Seben had to find someone in the market. Thank goodness thanks to that son. ”
"Wen Juan is still blessed, if it falls into the hands of Sebende, it will be over." Tie Yan was frightened when he heard this, and asked carefully: "Didn't you find out whose family this son is?" ”
"Can you not ask? Whose family do you say? ”
"Then where can I know? Say it quickly, don't let me be in a hurry! ”
"That son is Chen Fujin in the Ruiwang Mansion in disguise! They heard that something had happened in the Su Mansion. I came to find out if there was a master in the house who could get away with it, and I was ready to take it, of course, the prince was not easy to come forward, so he sent Chen Fujin to pretend to be a young man to buy someone. ”
"So Wen Juan's mother and daughter are in the Rui Wang's Mansion?"
"Yes, exactly!"
"Oh, Prince Rui, you are my great benefactor of Tie Yan!" Tie Yan immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times to Lord Rui in the direction of the south.
Qing'er, who has always been silent, frowned when she talked about Bing'er. Tie Yan's eyes widened when he said it, and he couldn't believe it! Bing'er actually became a person in the rivers and lakes, the class leader of the juggling team, and the benevolent class! It's ridiculous! The ancestors of the Zhao family were blacksmiths who made iron, and their descendants have acting! Zhao Tieyan was happy and bitter at the same time. I am happy that Bing'er is so backbone, ambitious, and capable, and the bitter thing is that no matter how good she is in juggling, she is still a play, and she is a ninth-rate. But what can be done? It is also a blessing for Bing'er to be able to keep his life, otherwise he will be trampled by the old thief, it is really better to live than to die! It's okay to let him endure hardships and experience experience. In front of Ximei, Qing'er didn't say that the emperor went to the East China Sea with him to find Bing'er, leaving a little room for himself.
Then Qing'er talked about her acquaintance with Ximei and her marriage, about the alliance and meeting the eldest princess of Gulun. Ximei added that the princess had already recognized Qing'er as her son. Tie Yan suddenly realized: "No wonder you are wearing Beizi's clothes, your status is so high!" ”
"Don't tease me, this is the need of the Huimeng, let's go back and enter Beijing." By the way, can you not write a letter to the emperor or the current empress dowager? and Lord Rui also wrote one. Although the Empress Dowager has no power, let her say in Aobai how the common people on the Ussuri River are bullied by the Rakshasa devils, and she can't ignore it, even if this Aobai is to save face, she can't be indifferent, right? ”
"I can do that." Qing'er, you are very promising, do a good job! We don't care what happens to the old thief, the country and the national righteousness are the most important, and it is better for him to support the alliance. He doesn't know you, so you appear as an Oroqen person, don't leak the bottom. Brother Ximei, you teach Brother Qing some Oroqen language. The two of you are to converse in your national language before the worship. This will not attract the attention of Aobai. You're not pretending, you're Oroqen's son-in-law, you should know the language of Oroqen, right? The affairs of the country are greater than the affairs of the individual, and the eldest brother is really reluctant to leave you, but if you want to do great things, I will not keep you. You go back and tell your sister-in-law about my situation, there will always be a chance to meet in the future. I wish you every success in your alliance! ”
"You'd better write a letter to the young lady, with a deeper and more tear-jerking ...... Oh, how do you hit someone? Qing'er's head turned red for Tie Yan.
"You're having fun, aren't you? You're a bad boy. Tie Yan laughed happily.
Knowing that his wife and son are still alive, and he has a lovely daughter, Tie Yan's heart has already flown back to Wen Juan's side. But at the moment, we can't get together, so we can only continue to love each other.
In this way, Qing'er and Ximei and his wife left Tieyan, rode back to the residence of Ximei's eldest brother on the Heilongjiang River, and discussed the specific matters of entering Beijing, Du Chunxing brother prepared a gift for Qing'er and his wife to go to Beijing to pay tribute to the emperor, the prince's gift, most of them are mountain treasures, such as old mountain ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, deer antler, tiger whip, and monkey's head, bear paw, frozen salmon, etc., it is estimated that the journey will not be very slow, and it is winter, and the food will not be bad. A guard of honor was also sent to follow. The envoy of the alliance must have a messenger leader. Qing'er, as the leader of the Oroqen and the righteous son of the eldest princess of Ao Han Gulun, represented the leader of the Mongolian tribe as Beizi. Set off in the fluttering flags and the cold wind. This trip of more than 3,000 miles is very different from when I came. Qing'er, dressed in Mongolian Beizi costume, rode on a tall horse and was ready to return to Beijing, under the expectation of the border people of various nationalities, she also felt the pressure on her shoulders while shouldering heavy responsibilities, and she could not predict what the situation would be when she returned to Beijing. What the old thief thinks about every day is to fight for power and profit, can he take the affairs of the alliance seriously? The people here are in dire straits! Listening to Young Master Tie Yan, if you can fight back every harassment and plunder from the Rakshasa Country, you will need at least ten times as many troops and weapons as you are now. Can the imperial court have this ability? Ken? That's not a decimal number, hundreds of thousands of taels, millions of taels of silver! I'm afraid it's hard to take out all this money at once. Everyone knows that the treasury is empty, and Qing'er's heart is heavy.
Qing'er's team finally entered the Desheng Gate, the north gate of the capital, and stayed in the post house. Of course, you can't go home, or go directly to the prince. There's a lot of saying and rules in it. Tie Yan has understood this aspect by following Emperor Shunzhi for many years, and he has also talked to Qing'er. Qing'er's identity has changed, so she can't just do it casually. There are officials of the imperial court in the ranks of the representatives of the alliance, who are specifically responsible for ceremonial matters, and they must be played by officials of the Ministry of Rites in order to deliver the performance of the alliance to the emperor, and they must go through the formal procedures. As for whether the emperor receives the meeting or not, it depends on luck. The emperor thinks that this matter is trivial, then you come for nothing, and the emperor thinks it is very important, so he may take it seriously. This official played the role of a contact person, and Qing'er and the others waited for the news he brought back.
In the afternoon, the official came and said that Lord Ao had said that the affairs of the imperial court were too complicated now, and the representatives of the alliance would not be able to hear the news in three days.
Qing'er scolded in her heart: "Death worship! Isn't that big enough for such a thing? What's the score? ”
But if he doesn't see it, he can't see it, and the current emperor is nothing, isn't he in charge? Fortunately, he didn't refuse, and there was a three-day deadline. Then just wait. At this moment, I have to go to the palace. Tell the prince about this matter, the princess still has a letter to the prince and a gift to the prince. Qing'er wants to convey the matter of the alliance directly to the emperor and the queen mother through the prince, maybe she is not like this, and the old thief can suppress this matter or forget it behind his ears, and the queen mother and the emperor don't know that there has been such a thing.
When it was dark, Qing'er and Ximei changed into their usual clothes and said to the official: "The two of us went to the street for a stroll, Ximei has never been here, I will take her to go shopping to relieve her hunger." ”
The official knew that Qing'er was the brother-in-law of Du Chunxing, the leader of the Oroqen, or the righteous son of the princess of the dynasty, did he dare not agree? Busy said: "You are free. Who doesn't want to go shopping when young people enter Beijing? Go to the front door, it is very lively, there is a queen mother's restaurant, all of which are exotic, and the next official will go tomorrow. ”
"Yes, I'll take care of it here."
"It's easy to say, please."
Qing'er and Ximei left the pavilion and hired a carriage with a tent to go straight to Prince Rui's mansion. Along the way, he taught Ximei some etiquette to meet the prince and Fujin, and encouraged her: "Don't be nervous, it's okay to say something wrong." Try not to make mistakes. ”
"You're so bad!" Ximei nodded at Qing'er's forehead and said angrily.
"What's wrong with me?" Qing'er didn't understand what Ximei was talking about.
