Chapter 211: Sorrow
On the snowy journey, a brown horse with shiny fur galloped through the empty snow-covered street, and with a long "call", it finally stopped in front of the gate of the white stone carved garden.
At that time, there were already several people waiting at the door, and as soon as they saw the horses stop, they immediately came up with their fists clenched and said respectfully: "You are back!" ”
The man on horseback tightened his reins, his face slightly numb from the cold wind with an unsmiling look, his thin lips pursed, and his whole body exuded a low pressure that was not angry and self-threatening.
It's really different from the hearty look of the past.
The four people on the opposite side couldn't help but be nervous, looked at each other, and all understood, it was so unusual, and they were holding back a wave of anger at first glance!
I'm afraid that the old Khan King has done something that favors Yan Zhuntai.
Wanyan Naqi turned over and dismounted, first took off the black mink hat covered with snow and handed it to Adong, and then patted off the snow flakes on the fluff of the fox fur neckline, looked sideways at the four people in the south, east and west, and asked, "She has come back?" ”
Ah Dong held his mink hat and replied, "Not yet." ”
Hearing this, Wan Yan Naqi stopped, his eyes were crossed, and he said sharply: "I asked you to follow her to keep a good eye on me, and that's how you do things for me?" ”
Helian Che had already guessed that she was in Heishui, although he was fooled by him last time, but Heishui said that it was not small, and it was not as vast as the world, in case the two accidentally bumped into each other, in case the past grievances were resolved, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not lose a sharp dagger that helped him ascend to a high position.
Thinking of this, Wan Yan's eyes shot out a cold light, and he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "If my plan is ruined......
Before he finished speaking, Ah Dong hurriedly grabbed his voice: "The third prince can rest assured, she and the Western Dynasty army are stationed in one south and one in the north, and the general of the Western Dynasty has been busy dealing with the harassment of the Gulan people for days, and they will never meet each other!" ”
After a moment of conversation, he said, "There is something that has to be reported!" ”
"What's the matter?"
Ah Dong glanced at Wanyan Naqi, who had a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "The person who went out of the garden with the two girls today is not a bystander, but the leader of the enemy army, Inep, the prime minister of the Gulan Kingdom!" ”
Wan Yan Naqi was taken aback: "Why is he?!" ”
"A few of us thought it was strange, and from the way Inep looked, he looked like he had amnesia." Thinking of Inep's appearance in women's clothes, he couldn't help but add: "And it doesn't look like it's pretending!" ”
"Amnesia?" Wanyan Naqi's eyes were full of suspicion.
"That's right, the two girls have already sent him to Garan in order to save his life! Mrs. Fang Cai sent someone to ask how to deal with this person, waiting for the third prince's orders. ”
"Garan'an ......" Wan Yan Naqi's face was meaningful, and his eyes were as dark as the deep sea without the bottom of it.
Ye Lingyi secretly sent Inep away, her original intention was not difficult to understand, it was to protect Inepu from him, the Black Water Royal Family, but she didn't know that Jialanan was originally repaired by him for his mother who believed in Buddha, so naturally he couldn't hide from his eyes.
After thinking for a long time, he said, "Let him stay in Garan for the time being, and closely monitor his every move!" ”
When the four people in the south, east, west, and northwest heard this, they were stunned.
"Let him stay?" As if he didn't hear clearly, Ah Dong plucked out his ears, "I heard me right, right?" Third Prince, that Inep is the minister of the Guran, now as long as we kill him, your position in front of the old Khan King is a thousand miles away, and it is simply harmless for the battle for the Khan's throne! Do you really want to give up this mouth-to-mouth fat? ”
"A thousand miles in a day? Harmless? Wan Yan Naqi curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile, and his face was as cold as ice.
Remembering that today in the Golden Palace, the old Khan King talked about the Western Dynasty army sticking to the city gate but not diligently pursuing and provoking the Gulan bandit army under the city, so he asked the crowd, who is willing to lead the troops to chase and suppress the Gulan bandits, and he took the initiative to ask for Ying, but was ignored by the old Khan King as if he didn't hear it, but praised Wanyan Zhuntai who was cowering aside, and even said that the reason why the Western Dynasty army was able to stick to the city gate was because Wanyan Zhuntai gave advice.
Such a brazen statement won everyone's promise, and made Wanyan Zhuntai sit in charge, and the most brave and warlike general in Heishui defeated the bandits on his behalf.
The old Khan's approach is clearly to favor Wanyan Zhuntai, so that he does not have to face the danger and take all the credit into his name, and even if he loses, there is still the army of the Western Dynasty to defend the city gate, and the Gulan people have nothing to do with them, in short, it is not harmful to Wanyan Zhuntai.
It can be seen that the old Khan King is interested in Wanyan Zhuntai inheriting the Khan throne.
And once Wanyan Juntai becomes the most powerful person in Heishui, will he have a way to live with his mother and even his mother's mother's mother?
The answer is undoubtedly no.
Wanyan Naqi will not sit idly by.
At the moment, although Inep took the initiative to send him to the door, as long as he killed him and made a contribution, it would be an unexpected joy, but to put it bluntly, no matter how hard he tried, even if he cut out his heart, in the end, the old Khan King did not have this son in his heart, and he would never want him to be the new Khan King of Blackwater.
So Wan Yan Naqi has long figured out that his life is in his own hands.
If he wants to get the throne, he must rely on himself, even if he fights his way out with a knife, he must protect his mother and the Sojuro tribe.
Compared to these, Inep is extremely insignificant in his huge plan to seize the throne, or in other words, as long as Inep does not fall into the hands of Wanyan Zhuntai, he is happy to see the Qur'an people use Inep, who is "detained" in the black water, as a guise to make trouble every day, stir up the old Khan's uneasiness, and wait until he seizes the throne, and then kill Inep as an enemy army who sneaks into the black water, and then he will be able to gain the obedience of his subjects.
Wanyan's dark eyes filled with ambition.
After a while, he said: "There is no need to rush in this matter. It's that girl......"
After a pause in the middle of speaking, he glanced at Ah Dong: "Don't forget what I explained, don't let her meet Helian Che!" ”
The four attendants were slightly stunned, and then they clasped their fists and responded.
After Yan Naqi looked back, the ice between his eyebrows dissolved slightly, and there was a hint of tiredness in his voice, and he waved his hand: "Go!" Go and watch her! ”
Just as he was about to raise his legs, Ah Dong said again: "There is one more thing ......"
Wan Yan Naqi stopped raising his leg and waited for the following.
Ah Dong glanced at his face, and his expression was a little embarrassed: "It's Shu Shu!" ”
"What's wrong with her?" Wan Yan Naqi asked lightly.
"She ......" Ah Dong said in a difficult tone, entangled between saying and not saying.
provoked Yan Naqi impatiently: "Which cat did she kick again?" Which dog did you hit? In the future, you don't have to report to me about things that don't matter! ”
The three of them couldn't help but feel anxious for him when they saw Ah Dong spitting and spitting.
Among them, Ah Bei was the youngest, and he couldn't bear it and simply said for him: "Shu Shu followed that Ye girl and fired arrows at them." ”
"What did you say?" Wan Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold, slowly turned to look at the four of them, and said angrily: "Shu Shu is young and loves to mess around, do you four just watch her mess around?" ”
"We want to stop it too...... But Miss Ye's skills are not above a few of us, in case we make a move, she finds out......" Ah Bei muttered quietly.
Anan was afraid that he would anger his master, so he hurriedly stabbed Abei's arm and motioned him to shut up.
Then he continued: "The third prince doesn't have to worry, Miss Ye is unscathed, but Shu Shu has suffered some skin injuries. ”
Saying this, Wanyan Naqi's expression eased: "Give me a good look at that dead girl in the future!" Tell her not to beat her master's idea again! Otherwise, I will immediately send her back to the Suojuluo tribe and let Guo Luomafa arbitrarily point out one person to marry her far away! ”
The four of them clenched their fists again.
Wan Yan Naqi looked at them lightly, and finally turned around, raised his legs and walked towards the other garden.
When he was far away, the four of them put down their hands.
Ah Bei touched his chin, looking strange and confused: "You say, why doesn't the third prince worry about his injured sister, but he is so concerned about that Ye girl?" I don't think I like her, right? ”
Anan gave him a slap in the face: "Don't talk nonsense!" Miss Ye is useful to the third prince, when you can get out of the siege unscathed and kill thirty people with your own strength, I believe that the third prince will also look at you differently! ”
Ah Bei covered his aching forehead, flattened his mouth aggrievedly, his eyes moved slightly, and when he saw Ah Dong's thoughtful look, he smiled ambiguously: "Brother Adong, you shouldn't be thinking about what the third prince said just now, right?" ”
"What?" Assi, who had not spoken, answered in confusion.
Ah Bei's smile became more and more ambiguous: "It's the sentence that the third prince said that he wanted the leader of the Suojuluo tribe to marry Shu Shuyuan!" ”
When Ah Xi heard this, he suddenly understood something, and asked Ah Dong in surprise: "It turns out that you like Shu Shu?" ”
Anan and Bei are concerned about his ability to comprehend hindsight.
Ah Dong's face turned cold, he didn't say a word, turned around and left.
Assi was stunned, looked at the other two and asked, "Did I say the wrong thing?" ”
Seeing them shrug their shoulders at themselves and say they didn't know, they fell into self-doubt again.
On the other side, on the walls of the city of Heilan.
Helian Che's slender jade hand was on the snow-covered battlement, a dark color robe lined with a heroic posture, and his black hair was crowned with a silver hairpin on the top of his head, showing that the peerless face below was more angular, the two curved eyebrows were like paint, a pair of eyes were as cold as stars in a cold night, thin lips were closed, and there was a resolute look on his face.
Staring at the snow-capped plains in the distance, there is always a lingering haze in my heart.
Some time ago, the Gulan people frequently harassed Heishui Chengguan, and there were as many as ten times a day at the most frequent time, like a swarm of entangled flies, which was annoying, but the number of harassments has become less and less recently, and now it has been two days since the last time.
It was quiet and peaceful, and the snow covered the traces of the war, as if nothing had happened.
But the calmer the waves, the more people feel that there is great danger hidden under the illusion of calm, as if something big is about to happen, and an invisible sense of danger spreads rapidly in the air.
Helian Che even suspected that the Qur'ans were planning a bigger war, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
It's silver, and it looks like it's happy and idle.
He walked over and said, "I said, General, if you look at it like this, the Gurans will not come again, they have long been afraid of us." ”
Helian Che glanced at Yinchong with a twist of his eyes, he really couldn't understand it in his heart, and he didn't know where he got his confidence.
You must know that the Qur'ans have unrivaled firearms at present, and if they really want to storm the city of Heilan, they really don't have to be the opponents of the Qur'ans.
The reason why the siege was delayed was only because there was a sea of sand for more than ten miles below Heilan City, and the firearms were heavy, so it was very easy to fall into the sand and gravel and not move.
The loss of firearms is not just a matter of defeat and heavy losses for the Qur'ans, but it is tantamount to cutting off their right arm and becoming a fish to be slaughtered.
The Qur'ans will not take this risk, but that doesn't mean they won't think of anything else.
And if this method is really thought of by them, the siege of firearms is just around the corner, and at that time, Heilan City is afraid that it will face a devastating blow.
In order to prevent this from happening, Helian Che could only think along the lines of thought of the Qur'ans.
How can a firearm truck with a heavy load run smoothly on the sand sea?
Helian Che frowned, suddenly thought of something, and Chong Yinchong said, "Go and ask if there are any people in this Heilan City who know how to make mechanical armor?" ”
