Volume I, Chapter 348, China and China

He pursed his thin lips slightly, raised his hand and stroked her cheek, "If something happens to me, you can just go back to the northern country, and you don't have to stay here." ”

Nie Linyu knew that he had prepared for the worst.

She didn't think about it, and said indifferently: "I don't go to any garrison mansion, I will be where you are, it's a big deal, just die together." ”

There is no mountain alliance and sea oath, no sweet words, but in a light tone, there is incomparable firmness, which makes Fu Moyu moved.

He was instantly full of pride, "Okay, let's live and die together!" ”

Fu Moyu did not choose to stay in the prefect's yamen, although this place can be adjusted to resist the enemy, but he obviously has other plans, according to the map, there is an island nearby, surrounded by water on three sides, and there is only one road for people to enter and exit, which can be regarded as easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Are there any inhabitants on the island?"

After settling here, Yan Lai immediately ordered his men to investigate, the man came and went very quickly, and he had already returned at this time, and said to Fu Moyu: "No, there is only one wharf, and there is an empty house on the island, and there are some daily necessities in it, which are about used by fishermen to rest when they are fishing." ”

They abandoned the carriage and rode all horses, Nie Linyu pulled over a tall horse, with a slight left foot, and sat on the back of the horse with a light posture, and there was a burst of cheers around him.

They rode horses to the island.

Although Fu Moyu brought out not many guards, they were all elite in charge of their own affairs, although the matter was urgent, they were still calm, with enough water that could last three days, and there were not many weapons, so they cut down the trees on the island and sharpened them to make arrows.

The hut on the island where the fishermen rested was taken care of by Jinyun and Chaoge for Nie Linyu to use, and the others set up camp outside, in fact, there was no tent to sleep in, after all, although they had considered everything before leaving, they only did not expect that anyone would dare to attack openly.

Trapped here at this time, it is just a reluctant act, Fu Moyu and Nie Linyu still have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, but the attendants are all sitting on the ground or finding a place to lie down casually, Yan Lai is busy arranging shifts to guard.

"Your Highness, just now your subordinates received a message from the flying pigeon, it is difficult for the loyal word battalion to transfer troops, and it always takes three or five days to exchange official documents, lest His Highness can't wait, he plans to lead a few of his cronies to come to help, but the number is not much, only a few hundred."

Fu Moyu nodded and said nothing.

The night was getting deeper and darker, but everyone didn't feel the slightest sleep, Fu Moyu was out on patrol, Nie Linyu didn't want to leave a comment about a woman doing politics among his guards, so he stayed in the house and didn't go out, but he was worried in his heart.

To say that you are not afraid is false, people who have died once are actually more afraid of death.

But even if she was afraid, she would never leave Fu Moyu at such a moment, since he was thinking about her, how could she not think about him? Nie Linyu stayed, not just a passion, she carefully calculated her strength, even if she couldn't help, she would not become a burden.

But if she leaves and goes to the garrison mansion, her safety will be safe, but if the crown princess uses her as a raft to threaten Fu Moyu, she is afraid that Fu Moyu will lose the upper hand when she arrives. Number Seven

In fact, Fu Moyu didn't think of this, it's just that he was more concerned about Nie Linyu's safety.

was in a daze, there was a faint commotion outside, Nie Linyu stood up and hurriedly walked out, Jinyun hurriedly followed, although his face was pale, his movements were steady, and he put the cloak in his hand on his master.

When I got out of the house, I realized that the noise did not come from the attendants on the island, but from outside the island.

There is a small hill on the island, in fact, it is just a mound of dirt, which is used as a highland for reconnaissance at this time, Fu Moyu is there, Nie Linyu stepped forward and looked down with him.

The Yamen of the Hailin Prefect under the mountain has already been on fire, illuminating the night as if it were day, even if it is far away on the island, it seems that you can feel the heat of the fire.

The guards who went to investigate the news came back, "Your Highness, for fear of exposing their whereabouts, their subordinates dare not approach, only dare to inquire from a distance, that group of people has no markings, and they can't see what the way is, but their target is obviously Hailin." ”

After listening to Nie Linyu, he couldn't help blurting out, "Didn't you come for us?" ”

Fu Moyu nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation crossed her eyes, "At least not all, their target is Hailin." ”

"Cangwu County is different from other places, the county guard is not appointed by the national dynasty, Liu Zhezheng is originally a local hero, and letting him be the county guard was originally just an expedient measure."

With Fu Moyu's narration, Nie Linyu completely knew the ins and outs of Cangwu County and Liu Zhezheng.

There are many ethnic minorities in the north, and there are also many border villages, each with its own government, and the same is true of China, and the same is true in the south.

The power of China in these countries is not large, but they have their own unique skills, and they occupy not rich and prosperous places, which always makes the imperial court feel like a chicken rib, and if they are attacked, they will not get much benefit from the loss of labor and money, but if they are ignored, it seems that they are a little unreasonable.

As far as the northern kingdom is concerned, Nie Linyu knew that at that time, the first emperor sent his father Nie Tingzhang to destroy the Liguo, because the Liguo was the richest one in the surrounding area, and he wanted to achieve the purpose of deterring other small countries by destroying the Liguo, and it was best to let them surrender on their own initiative, so as to expand the territory of the northern country.

However, this good wish was not achieved, but instead prompted them to become more and more hostile to the northern court, and also buried such a hidden danger as Murong Cheng, the prince of the country, who could almost be called more than worth the loss.

The matter of the northern kingdom spread to the southern kingdom, and the emperor of the southern kingdom, who originally wanted to follow suit, dispelled the idea, and it happened that Liu Zhezheng wanted to take the initiative to surrender at this time, so Emperor Yongtai was overjoyed, and not only immediately named Liu Zhezheng as the county guard, but also promised many terms.

Liu Zhezheng is not surnamed Liu, nor is he a Han person, but a Yao people, the original Yao surname, more than ten years ago, he just took over as the patriarch of Yao Village, he wrote to the court and was willing to be a minister, and in order to show that he was dedicated to Han, he also changed a Han surname and named Liu Zhezheng.

The southern court has always wanted to recover the Yao village, but the Yao people are fierce and know how to use Gu arts, so the two sides have been deadlocked, and now the Yao people take the initiative to show goodwill, and the court naturally accepts it, and Emperor Yongtai appointed Liu Zhezheng as the county guard of Cangwu County.

But Liu Zhezheng did not really surrender, just paralyzed the imperial court, after he accepted the appointment, he never refused to enter Beijing to meet him, and even took advantage of the rebellion of the Sun and Moon Sect to constantly ask the court for silver and food, in fact, he was strengthening his own strength.

Nie Linyu couldn't help but say: "Why didn't my father simply send troops over, just say that he was helping Liu Zhezheng to exterminate the Sun and Moon Sect together, and by the way, to find out the truth?" ”
