Zhirong's approach is just reckless in the eyes of the Great Elder and Sheng Hongyu, and he wants to compete with the victorious general Shen Yuanshan with his fists and legs and some treacherous secret weapons, which is really a bit self-conscious, and if he loses at that time, he will only lose his prestige and make a fool of himself, and at that time, it will all depend on the face of the person to mention the marriage.

"The head of the family, now is not the time to be strong, although Shen Yuanshan is a descendant of the second line, he is not a direct line, if you marry him, it will not violate ethics, but it will kill two birds with one stone." The Great Elder was still unwilling, and persuaded Zhirong with painstaking words.

Zhirong was unmoved, and said confidently: "Great Elder, don't worry, since I have made a decision, I will definitely be sure to win, and I will convince him to lose." From the bottom of my heart, I am willing to recognize me as the head of the family, and I am willing to hand over the soldiers in my hands! ”

The Great Elder sighed, Zhirong's face was firm, and it seemed that he would definitely not change his mind.

Sheng Hongyu was not convinced, the head of the family was too small, and he obviously didn't have such a big ability to succeed. Let Shen Yuanshan be willing to recognize her as the master from the bottom of his heart, it is simply a dream.

"The head of the family, when my father was here, he also wanted to unite with Shen Yuanshan, and he also mentioned marriage, at that time, there were more people in Tianxing Mountain than this, but Shen Yuanshan didn't agree. It can be seen how high Shen Yuanshan's vision is. ”

What she said was sour, she was completely ridiculing Zhirong's incompetence, but Zhirong turned to laugh and said: "Your father is far-sighted and thinks well, but it's a pity that Shen Yuanshan didn't take a fancy to the women in your village, and I don't know which woman your father wanted to marry him and was rejected?" ”

"It's my cousin, but unfortunately she died of a serious illness." Sheng Hongyu's words were extremely unnatural. She looked away in embarrassment and stopped talking.

The woman her father was referring to back then, she disliked that Shen Yuanshan was much older than her, but she never thought that people didn't like her at all. So she never mentioned it again. I didn't expect to mention it today, but I slapped myself in the face.

Shen Qing couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile when she looked at her, let you look down on the master, if the master wins, Shen Yuanshan will see where to put your face. Her idea was very simple, when Zhi Rong Mingmian faced off with Shen Yuanshan, she would make a bad mistake in the dark.

As it was getting late, Zhirong was getting closer and closer to the northern valley, and just as everyone was hurrying to hurry, there was a loud sound of horses' hooves from the east, and Zhirong hurriedly ordered to prepare for battle.

Listen to the sound and judge that the number of people on the other side is not very large. That is, a squad of more than a dozen people. But the rapid sound of horses' hooves had to make Zhirong tense her spirit, Shen Qing's longbow had already hung three arrows, and she immediately fired three arrows when the other party shot.

The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer. Unable to let unknown people get close to the team, Shen Qing began to shout: "Which team is on the other side?" Want to do it with you? ”

"The little ones are loyal to the King of the North! May I ask if my friend is the commander of Bai Zhirong Bai who came from the capital? ”

King of the North?

Although the northern realm is a place of exile and wilderness, Jing Tang has never crowned any northern king there. What is the purpose of this team approaching them, and the other party clearly knows what they are.

Just when Zhirong was puzzled, the group of people had already arrived not far ahead. At the head of the pack was a young man. He saw Zhirong stunned suddenly, and then rode forward alone, completely unafraid of the bow and arrow in Shen Qing's hand, he got off the horse, took out a jade from his arms and bowed respectfully to Zhirong.

"Commander Bai, this is a gift from my family master." He held the jade bottle in both hands and offered it as if it were a very precious treasure.

Shen Qing took it carefully, looked at it carefully, sniffed it and confirmed that it was non-toxic before handing it to Zhirong. But her wolf-like eyes were still fixed on each other. And the man stopped coming forward, not out of fear. It seems that because of his identity, he stood there after a deep bow. "This is the medicine made from the petals of the thousand-year-old snow lotus in the snow-capped mountains of the northern border. The Lord has personally given it to you. ”

Needless to say, Zhirong naturally understands that the thousand-year-old snow lotus is a medicine that she is lacking. I remember that Wei Ting once said that if she took the juice of the petals, she could restore her ability to speak, and if she could eat the roots, then she would be able to have a magical effect on her body.

However, few people can see the snow lotus, even if you find it, it is difficult to eat the whole lotus, because this lotus grows on the top of the snow mountain, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth at the peak of the snow mountain, and the roots cannot be dug up at all when picking, so it is fortunate to have lotus leaves and lotus hearts, and even if you are not careful, the lotus leaves will be damaged when picking.

This king of the northern realm has never known him, why did he give such a big gift before they met? Everyone suspected that the medicine was fake, but Zhirong asked for a unique fragrance, very similar to the one Wei Ting had described her. It's just that it was recorded in ancient books, and Wei Ting hadn't seen it.

"I have received the heart of your lord, and take me to thank your lord. It's just that I don't know him, and I can't afford such a big gift. Zhirong handed the jade bottle to Shen Qing and prepared to return it.

The young man hurriedly knelt down: "The Lord has decreed, if Commander Bai does not accept this gift, then our team will cut themselves here!" ”

Oh? This king of the north is really interesting, you expected that I would not accept your gifts, so you pinched my original weakness and threatened me with my own subordinates. However, you don't know that my Bai Zhirong has changed.

"Our commander said, 'If you judge yourselves, stay away from us.' Please, we're going to go on. Shen Qing laughed and threw the jade bottle into the sky casually, the great elder was dripping blood in his heart, auntie, do you know how much it is worth?

The young man kneeling on the ground reacted extremely quickly, gently took off into the air, and took the jade bottle effortlessly. Then he carefully carried it in his arms and knelt on the spot again.

He is actually confused now, and when he was leaving, the Lord said: "Commander Bai is kind and kind, but he has a lot of doubts, he will definitely not accept your gift, you will threaten your life, and she will accept it if she is soft-hearted." ”

However, the trick is that Bai Zhirong in front of her is not at all what the lord described, she is indeed suspicious, but she is definitely not soft-hearted. Are they really self-defeating?

Zhirong doesn't care about them, whether they cut themselves or go back to their lives. It's up to them. The sun is about to set, and the appearance of this group of people has been delayed for some time, and Shen Heng must have been waiting in a hurry. Therefore, Zhirong led the team to bypass the Northern King's men and continue on the road.

"Commander. What should we do, how can we account when we go back without completing the task assigned by the Lord? Do we really want to cut ourselves? ”

The young man got up and looked at Zhirong's team with a bitter face, "Self-cutting? Who told you to cut yourself? Let's follow Commander Bai until she takes this medicine and drinks it!" The young man felt that his idea was very good, and maybe his persistence would impress Zhirong. Because the Lord said that the commander is the most easily moved.

By sunset, Zhirong had finally arrived at the Northern Valley with a team of two thousand people, and Shen Heng was already waiting at the entrance of the valley.

He walked over with a solemn face: "Master." Shen Yuanshan responded to the battle, and promised to choose what to choose. It's just that he said that he wouldn't come out to greet him until he truly confessed the Lord. We were only given tents and food to camp out in the valley. ”

Shen Yuanshan actually supported the army and respected himself, and even the head of the family didn't recognize it, and the faces of several elders were very ugly. They also told Zhirong before that Shen Yuanshan would recognize the head of the family.

"I'm nothing. Sleeping in the open is sleeping in the open. After all, we have something to prepare. Zhirong glanced at those things, although Shen Yuanshan did not treat her politely, he prepared a lot of food, many styles, and a lot of clothes, but he was also thoughtful.

Zhirong continued: "It's just that some of the brothers who came out of the Northern Regions Royal Mansion are from his team of Shen Yuanshan, and it is also the work of heroes who have been tortured so much that they have not spit out a word, so these people should be allowed to go home." Shen Heng. You bring these words with you word for word. ”

If Shen Yuanshan couldn't accept these hundreds of Shen family soldiers who had suffered a lot, then he was really narrow-minded. It would be good if such a person was not included in the command. Teams and people can grow on their own. Not necessarily just his.

"Master, we won't go in! How can there be a reason for the head of the family to suffer outside and we go in! Jiang Cheng, the original leader of the hundreds of soldiers, said to Zhirong seriously, this is a man who is nearly thirty years old, and during those days in the dungeon, he and the people in the same cell insisted on shouting to all his brothers every day, so that they would not lose their will and be tortured to death.

Zhirong was very respectful of such a person, and organized the hundreds of people and some people from Tianxing Mountain into a detachment, and let him be the leader, while the other people from Tianxing Mountain were divided into two groups, one group was the seven hundred people in the hands of Sheng Hongyu, led by Sheng Hongyu.

Some of them were those who had been bewitched by Cheng Youtian, and they had already learned a lot from Shen Heng, so they were led by Shen Heng. And those of the Jin family and the homeless orphans on the road were handed over to Shen Qing. The commander of these four detachments is Zhirong.

Zhirong patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder: "I still have to go home, I remember that you still have an old mother, if she knew that you came back but were turned away, how uncomfortable would it be in her heart, many of the brothers have relatives, how can you not go back to see?" ”

After a while, Shen Heng had already returned with news, Shen Yuanshan welcomed the brothers home and wanted to hold a banquet to comfort the brothers for their suffering in the Northern Regions City.

Doing so is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Zhirong, Zhirong saved people even if he is not the head of the family, he is considered a benefactor, but he Shen Yuanshan let Zhirong sleep outside and set up a banquet in the valley by himself, which is clearly a sue to the soldiers in the valley, he does not recognize this family master at all.

Okay, Shen Yuanshan, since you are like this, I don't have to give you face, don't blame me for losing miserably tomorrow.

"The head of the house, the brothers don't go in!" Jiang Cheng was very shocked and angry after hearing the news from Shen Heng, the general was still so unexpected, it was really chilling. "The head of the family, our life is given by the head of the family, and from now on we are willing to serve the head of the family for the work of dogs and horses, share the hardships with the head of the family, and swear to follow to the death. Therefore there is no reason for the head of the house to sleep in the open and we go into the valley. ”

Zhirong was very relieved and moved when he heard this, these steel-like men were indeed not saved in vain, "You are all my brothers, why don't you say that you can't look down on yourself in the future." ”

Jiang Cheng raised his head in surprise, and something shiny was flashing in his eyes. The hundreds of Shen family soldiers behind him were all like this, they were originally more grateful to Zhirong, but now they are really surrendering. There are many powerful people in the world, but there are not many who are both strong and open-minded.

In this way, Zhirong ordered people to set up tents, cook meals, and the soldiers sang the mountain songs of the Northern Regions while eating and drinking. Zhirong was also happy when she heard it, and Jiang Cheng simply pulled Zhirong up and danced by the fire.

The soldiers were infected by this scene, and they stared at their master and sang even louder, releasing all the emotions that had been pent up for a long time.

Not far away, there was a group of people lying on their stomachs, they looked at Zhirong intently, looked at the wine and food, and then pitifully took a bite of dry food. When he saw Jiang Cheng's hand almost touching Zhirong's shoulder, the food that the young man led by him had just eaten was stuck in his throat. Then when he was sure that Jiang Cheng hadn't touched Zhirong, he swallowed it all at once.

Because it had just snowed, the weather was very cold, and Zhirong distributed clothes to the soldiers before going to bed.

"Shen Heng, you can get the rest of the clothes to those kids who are following us. Take some more meat and wine. "It was a freezing day, and those people didn't wear much, and they could freeze to death without clothes.

However, Shen Heng came back soon, still carrying clothes in his hands, but there was no wine and meat left. Shen Heng said with a smile: "That kid said that this kind of weather is nothing to them at all, but they took it after they were hungry for wine and meat, and in order to thank the master for his kindness, they gave you this." As he spoke, he took out a jade bottle, which was the potion made from the snow lotus petals.

"Master, I have only explored this medicine, it is indeed true, snow lotus is extremely rare, there is only one on the top of the snow mountain, such an opportunity is still not to be missed. When the master saw the king of the north, it was not too late to thank him. ”

Zhirong nodded and took the potion, a cool and fragrant liquid entered the body, and the whole person felt indescribably comfortable, and the internal force of the mind in the body seemed to be changing subtly, and it was really a good thing. "Do you know who this King of the North is?"

"I don't know, it's better to ask Shen Yuanshan tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Zhirong led people into the valley and came to Shen Yuanshan's military camp at the appointed time. Shen Yuanshan is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old today, although he is not handsome, he is also very manly, but his strict face makes it difficult to approach.

And when facing Zhirong, he was slightly stunned because of Zhirong's appearance, and then raised his eyebrows: "Commander Bai, let's start a duel, behind me are the 20,000 soldiers of the Shen family's army, if you win today, we will take you as the head of the family, if you lose, I can also give you a way to integrate your team into my army." ”

So arrogant, Zhirong snorted coldly, sat down, and then took out a piece of embroidered cloth, put needles and embroidery threads on it and said with a smile: "Then let's start, I don't know what picture General Shen wants to embroider?" ”

Embroidery? Sheng Hongyu and the three elders froze in place, Shen Qing desperately covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing, and Shen Heng protected Zhirong.

"What are you kidding Commander Bai? How can it be embroidery? Shen Yuanshan pulled out his sword and said angrily.

Zhirong said slowly: "General Shen, did you promise Shen Heng that no matter what it is, I will choose?" Shen Heng still has the military order you set up in his hand. I want to compare embroidery with you today! Why do you want to repent? (To be continued......)
