The water is crystal clear, and the fine sand at the bottom of the river is clearly visible.

In the shallowest part of this river, Lu Ning lay in it, only his head floated on the surface of the water, enjoying the feeling of being flowed by the flowing water.

On the river beach next to it, there were two people, the head of the Seven Creeks, Wulian Rabbit and his granddaughter Beinu.

Wulian Rabbit is an elder with white hair and eyes, full of wisdom, which is completely different from Qiximan's feeling.

Beinu is the girl who was almost sacrificed after Lu Ning rescued.

And the leader of the Qixi Barbarians that Lu Ning subdued that day was the eldest grandson of Wulian Rabbit and Beinu's own brother Beta.

When Beta was captured and the others were allowed to flee back to the barbarian village to report what had happened, the wise old man of the Ulian Rabbit came forward and told the people that this was the will of the river and mountain gods, so they sent down messengers to stop the sacrifice.

And what Lu Ning thinks, it is also this wise elder who has long been suspicious and dissatisfied with the bad habits that have been passed down in the clan for more than a thousand years, but he is powerless to change it, and now, he has given him such an opportunity.

Not to mention, it is obvious that he is very fond of his granddaughter, and wants to come to the clan to sacrifice his granddaughter as a sacrifice to the river god, and he is afraid that he will not know how many times he will scold his mother, but he is afraid that he will suffer a lot in his heart.

Therefore, now this old man is very kind to himself, and obeys his words and words, but he is not frightened by the fact that those barbarians tell him that he is like a devil.

Or he really believes that he is a divine messenger or something like that, and he makes up his own nonsense.

The Seven Creek Division, in Adin's mouth, is particularly strong in combat.

Between the neighboring barbarian tribes, most of them will not be convinced by each other, and there are a lot of ordinary fights, but Ading's Tierongdian Department is the majority, all over Xiushan County, with a population of tens of thousands, and among the thirty-seven tribes in eastern Yunnan, it is also one of the most populous tribes, but they are so jealous of the Qixi Tribe, which shows that the Qixi Tribe, which is not very populous, must be extremely strong in individual combat effectiveness.

And because the little girl Beinu likes to pester Lu Ning to talk to Lu Ning these days, Lu Ning has learned to learn Qixi Barbarian, with Lu Ning's keen senses, memory and ability to control the pronunciation of the Adam's apple, learning foreign languages is extremely easy, but he thinks that many foreign languages are useless information, and learning them is just a waste of energy.

And it really took a little thought, in a few days, Lu Ning was able to communicate with Bennu simply, and naturally he was able to communicate with Wulian Rabbit simply.

Now the Wulian Rabbit is saying that he will choose the bravest 500 warriors of the clan to help the king recover the royal city.

Lu Ning nodded again and again when he spoke, and as he spoke, there was a burst of warbler and swallow language, but it was Dan Jia and other five Vietnamese maids who arrived, they were all wearing the costumes of maids in the Central Plains, and the maids in Tsing Yi, the five of them were dressed like this, and they all had a unique style of foreign slave girls.

Seeing this, the Wulian Rabbit got up busily, muttered, and said goodbye to the king.

Lu Ning got up with a smile, and with his hand, the robe on the stone next to him was already wrapped around his body, and said with a smile: "I'm almost done, I'm ready to prepare, I have to go to the next tribe." ”

Wulian Rabbit smiled and nodded, looking at Lu Ning's eyes full of appreciation, "The king is really a gift from the gods to all the departments of Dali. ”

Lu Ning was embarrassed in his heart, in the eyes of the Wulian Rabbit, he was not a good woman at all, the five maidservants were wandering around him, but he did not sleep with them, and even now they made it clear that they wanted to come to the bath with him to serve him, but he was very important, so he had to get up and visit the tribes further southeast.

But where does the Wulian Rabbit know? The various lines of his own Ouchi and Bianjing are in the mansion, and the beauties who are possessed by themselves are afraid that there is a strengthened platoon, and where can they look at the five Danjia?

"The king, the five hundred warriors of our clan, have been following the king's side and helping the king recover the eastern Yunnan tribes." The Wulian Rabbit smiled and twisted his beard.

Lu Ning smiled and said, "That's the best." ”

……

In the eastern Yunnan tribes, Lu Ning has wandered around for more than thirty years, which is really something that the Duan clan has never done.

Later, in order to facilitate his actions, Lu Ning simply acted alone.

After learning the Qixi language, in fact, although many tribes do not understand the language, after all, the language family is the same, and there is a foundation for communicating with other tribes.

After more than a month, Lu Ning returned to Baozhou.

In fact, more than a month ago, Baozhou had just experienced a big war.

Yang led the crowd to attack Baozhou, but when climbing the earthen village, he was fatally hit by the heavy arquebus battalion, especially the morale blow was not trivial.

And with Lu Ning's return to Baozhou, the various departments of eastern Yunnan gathered in Baozhou already have 20,000 or 30,000 brave men.

Duan Suxing, the prince of Langdong County, and Duan Suping, the little grandfather, were both happy and anxious, they were naturally happy to see so many people helping the "prince", but the brave and strong of the various departments gathered more and more, and the grain storage in Baozhou has not borne the load, and there is more than a month to go, I am afraid that if the Yang family does not fight, their own people will have internal strife for rations.

And the day after Lu Ning returned to Baozhou, the grain team of the Juqiao Gao clan arrived, apparently the Juqiao Gao clan, that is, the Marquis of Yue, Gao Renwen, officially stood in line and supported the prince to become the lord of Dali.

Although Duan Suxing was cynical, he was also overjoyed.

Duan Suping didn't say anything, and even faintly felt that the day when his father and son would be real grandfathers in this alley was not far away.

But at this time, a news came from Yang Tho Baa City, saying that it was the original princess Dong who was not killed, she had led away the pursuers in order to save her son, but committed suicide but did not die, but was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

But this princess insisted that she saw her husband die at the hands of the rebels, and it was too late for the Yang family to quell the chaos.

In other words, the "son" of Baozhou is fake.

The various departments of Baozhou were immediately filled with righteous indignation, and they all scolded this princess for talking nonsense, she had betrayed her clan and betrayed her husband, and became a traitor to the Yang family.

But in fact, there are all kinds of theories of nature, and there are undercurrents.

……

In the study, there were only Lu Ning and Zhu Danchen.

Lu Ning slowly tasted Pu'er, of course, Pu'er tea is not so famous now, but its tea is not only enough in Dali, but also sold to Tubo, the Central Plains' previous trade weapons - all kinds of tea, but it is difficult to sell in Dali at a high price.

"What kind of person is this Dong family?" Lu Ning asked this question again, and smiled again: "Is it difficult to answer?" ”

Zhu Danchen had been thinking for a long time, and then said with a wry smile: "The princess is a very smart person, and she is also a really loyal person, even if the princess is a fake, she will inevitably conspire with the lesser of the two, and will hope to take revenge by the hand of the prince, and will never help the enemy, not to mention that His Royal Highness is not a fake." ”

Lu Ning bowed slightly, "That is, I am worried that I am a fake and murder her son Duan Sulian's life, and I hope that I can save her out of the tiger's mouth, after all, after not dying, what she is thinking about now is how to live." When she said this, the Yang family was a strange thing, and I tried to save her to save her, so it didn't seem that I deliberately killed her without regard for her life. In short, she has become the focus of attention of all parties, and no one will be unfavorable to her for a while. ”

Zhu Danchen smiled bitterly, "Probably as His Highness said." ”

Lu Ning picked up the teacup and thought thoughtfully.
