Chapter 240: Morning Light

When Ning Xia Qing lay down beside Cuiyu, he realized that he was really going to fall apart.

After running around for many days, and almost losing her life at the hands of the Lesh, she was finally able to be completely sure of her safety, and it stands to reason that she should have fallen asleep on her head.

But she didn't close her eyes all night, until she saw the morning light leaking through the cracks in the tent.

She thought a lot, a lot about this business.

Ah Zheng's prestige is so strong now, Ning Xia Qing even feels that in the vast northland, people who are more powerful than Ah Zheng can be counted on both hands. But she never felt that being powerful was necessarily a good thing, and she understood the principle of coexistence of safety and danger better than others.

She wants Ah Zheng to help her win this deal, can she really succeed?

The more powerful Ah Zheng is, the more Ah Zheng will be feared by the Mongol tribes. In this way, will the Mongolian tribe really look at Ah Zheng's face instead of Xiao Shi's face at this time?

Moreover, she knew that Ah Zheng would definitely do her best to help her, but wouldn't she bring trouble to Ah Zheng because of this? Could it be that because of her, Ah Zheng will fall into a more difficult situation in the undercurrent of the Northland?

In addition, what she thinks more about is her marriage to Ah Zheng......

In the past, whether it was from Ah Zheng's own bearing, or from Ah Zheng's occasional words to her, she knew that Ah Zheng was not an ordinary person. When she was on Nanmu Mountain, Ah Zheng also told her a lot, so that she could better understand the identity that Ah Zheng had in the Northland.

But the words she heard were not as shocking as what she saw with her own eyes.

Such a Zheng, she actually wants him to join her own family?

Did she think she was a princess? Even if the Central Plains Duke wants Ah Zheng to join the family, with Ah Zheng's identity, Ah Zheng can be regarded as condescending......

She's just ...... It's a little merchant girl in Meigong County, and she actually once delusionally wanted to let Ah Zheng get rich?!

Not to mention Ah Zheng himself, how could the Mongol tribe and the Yelu tribe let him go?

She is just the most ordinary Ningxia Qing, and Ah Zheng is a man who dominates the grassland and on the battlefield, although she will not feel self-pity and self-harm because of this, but she also knows that she can't delay Ah Zheng's life so selfishly.

Ah Zheng can not care, but she can't.

She knew that Ah Zheng had what he had to do.

And she also has her ordinary life.

Maybe some things are really just providential.

The next day, after washing up, she went out of the tent, but found Ah Zheng already waiting for her in front of her tent.

"Do you want to go for a walk? You've been riding in the carriage for so many days, you should be tired. Ah Zheng asked her. Ah Zheng's eyes looked bright, the whole person was in good spirits, and there was a lingering smile on his face since he saw her, as if the injury he suffered yesterday had not affected him at all.

Ning Xia Qing nodded, the corners of her mouth were leading, but her heart couldn't help but feel a little bitter.

The two had just walked a few steps, and there happened to be a woman with a child walking over here, as soon as the child saw Ah Zheng, his eyes lit up, and he ran towards Ah Zheng with joy, and the woman followed behind, clasped her hands together and said something to Ah Zheng that Ning Xia Qing did not understand.

Ah Zheng also smiled politely and reached out and patted the child's chest gently. The child showed an extremely excited expression when she first appeared, and the woman also laughed very happily, looking at Ah Zheng gratefully and nodding uncontrollably, as if to thank him, and after a while she pulled the still excited child away.

Seeing the mother and son walking away, Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but ask curiously: "What does this mean?" ”

Ah Zheng said calmly: "The local custom is to bless that child to become the bravest general on the grassland. ”

Ning Xia Qing looked at Ah Zheng, only to see that Ah Zheng's eyes were still looking at the direction of the child's departure, and seemed to be happy because of the child's happiness. Immediately, she realized that Ah Zheng's gaze was about to turn back to look at her, so she hurriedly lowered her head to prevent Ah Zheng from seeing her expression.

She could see how much the people on the grassland worshipped Ah Zheng. Can she still tie Ah Zheng to a small Huacai Garden, let him count the material for a lifetime there, and drive a car for her for a lifetime?

She knew that she was born small.

The days here are longer than those in the Central Plains, and the sky on the eastern side is already red.

At this moment, the surrounding area was shrouded in golden silence, the mountains in the distance were clothed in the color of the morning glow, and the clouds on the edge of the sky were dyed as bright red as flames.

The terrain here is flat and vast, with only slight ups and downs in the distance, the whole land is covered in blue, the waves of grass are constantly blown by the wind, there are a few quiet herds of cattle and sheep grazing on the skyline, and the caravan of camels are lazily lying on the ground.

Melodious horse-head fiddles, simple and high-pitched local folk songs, galloping horses, and comfortable herdsmen...... All of this is as beautiful as a fairyland on earth.

When the eastern sky was red, she took the initiative to take Ah Zheng's hand.

Ah Zheng's hand paused slightly in surprise, and then shook it back.

Her heart was at peace, but she was also a little sad.

After the red glow seemed to be dizzy by the water, the group finally set off.

Ah Zheng led dozens of elite soldiers, escorted King Lesh, and the remnants of the caravan after the casualties, plus the carriage that transported the goods, it was not small.

At this moment, the Litulu River is not far away, and Ningxia Qing must also make a decision about the future itinerary.

The caravan they followed this time was going to the Tulu River, and Ning Xia Qing and Ning San had planned to go to the Tulu River with the caravan to rest, and then travel the way they planned to go. But they met Ah Zheng halfway, and now Ah Zheng is going back to the Yelu tribe, and Ningxia Qing can also choose to follow Ah Zheng to the Yelu tribe to rest.

So, Master Ning San came to discuss with Ning Ningqing whether to change the itinerary.

In fact, Ningxia Qing hadn't thought about it at this time.

Speaking of which, she really wanted to be with Ah Zheng, but she just wanted to stay with him for a while, so naturally, she wanted to go back to the Yelu tribe with Ah Zheng.

But at this time, she knew that the Yelu tribe wanted to use Ah Zheng to compete for status, so the Yelu tribe planned to let Ah Zheng marry a woman from the Yelu tribe.

She couldn't help but hesitate because of this.

While she was resting, Master Ning San walked up to her, and as soon as he discussed a few words with her, he said in a weird manner: "I just want to go with that kid, right?" As far as your little caution is concerned, I still can't see through it? ”

Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but sneer: "Could it be that the third cousin uncle is unwilling to go to the Yelu tribe?" ”

When Master Ning San heard this, he picked up the shelf and deliberately said, "Yes, I'm not happy to go!" Come with me! Come with me to the Tulu River! ”

"I'm going to go!" Ning Xia Qing immediately replied: "If Uncle Santang is willing to go with me, you can sit in the carriage and follow me, if you don't want to, I will let Ah Zheng tie you up and stuff you in the carriage and take you to the Yelu tribe!" ”

"You damn girl......" As soon as Master Ning San's cursed words came out, Ning Ningqing snorted and turned his head and left.

But in this way, although she was just casually arguing with Master Ning San, she couldn't find a suitable reason to overturn what she had said before, so she had to follow Ah Zheng to the Yelu tribe.

She heard Ah Zheng say that since the Tianshan Mountains were attacked, Ah Zheng had almost been chasing King Lesh, and on the way that Ah Zheng was chasing King Lesh, he encountered no less than ten caravans from the Central Plains. Some of those caravans sold tea, some sold porcelain, and some sold silk.

In fact, although the Tianshan Mountains have been defeated, the Tianshan access road has not yet been opened. First, because King Lesh is still on the run, and Lesh still has the possibility of restoration, and secondly, because the Tianshan Shan Road has been blocked by the Lesh people for hundreds of years, and it takes a lot of construction work to reopen the road.

But there are still so many merchants who have begun to travel between the Northland and the Central Plains, and it seems that a keen sense of smell and quick action are indeed the characteristics of merchants.

Ningxia Qing was a little worried. Since there have already been so many caravans coming from the Central Plains, will Xiao Jingyuan and Tan Wenshi have already come over as well?

Ah Zheng hadn't met them, so he couldn't be sure. But Ning Xia Qing guessed that with Xiao Jingyuan's strength, their footsteps would never be slower than Ning Ningqing's group.

Since Xiao Jingyuan and Tan Wenshi may have arrived earlier than them, it means that Xiao Jingyuan is very likely to have contacted the Qi head general of the Mongolian tribe, and it is likely that he is already negotiating the signing of the order.

If Ningxia Qing didn't catch up with Xiao Jingyuan's progress quickly, and let Xiao Jingyuan win the list, she would come to the north for nothing!

Ah Zheng had already learned the cause and effect of her trip from Master Ning San. As she expected, Ah Zheng promised her that he would help her facilitate the order.

Ah Zheng means that he is the one who was borrowed from the Yelu tribe by the Mongol tribe, and he made a lot of contributions in this battle, and because of the relationship between Ningxia Qing and captured the fleeing King Lesh, according to the rules of the grassland, he deserves to be rewarded, so he can now negotiate terms with the Yelu tribe and the Mongolian tribe.

He was going to take her back to the Yelu tribe, and then ask the king of the Yelu tribe to come forward and ask the Mongol tribe for a sale.

Contrary to what she had thought before, Ah Zheng meant that she didn't need to go to great lengths to snatch the trade from Xiao Jingyuan's hands, but that the Yelu tribe could come forward and directly take all the horses that passed through the northern land from the Mongolian tribes.

The reason why it is different from Ningxia Qing's previous idea is also because of the competition between the tribes on the grassland.

Today's grassland is not dominated by the Mongolian tribe, and the Yelu tribe has gradually risen and become a force to be reckoned with.

If you are to trade with the Western Regions from the Central Plains through the North, there will be several main categories.

If the Mongolian tribe is dominant, the Mongolian tribe will not hesitate to swallow all the channels of the category, but now that the Yelu tribe is rising, the Yelu tribe is naturally unwilling to let the Mongolian tribe monopolize this piece of fat.

Therefore, the Yelu tribe also planned to negotiate with the Mongol tribe and divide a few categories from the hands of the Mongol tribe. And Ah Zheng meant that he could go and ask the king of Yelu to ask the Mongol tribes for all the horses that passed through the north.

It's just that Ning Xia Qing feels that this matter is still inappropriate.

Xiao Jingyuan is menacing, he is buying and selling all the horses that pass through the north, Xiao Jingyuan is the wife and brother of the Mongolian Qi general, it is impossible for Mongolia not to give Xiao Jingyuan this face, and now even if King Yelu wants to share the horse material trade, Mongolia may not agree.

In addition, King Yelu and Ningxia Qing are not related to each other, and even because of Ah Zheng, Yelu people are inevitably a little hostile to Ningxia Qing. Therefore, it is even less likely that King Yelu worked hard to bring about this for the sake of Ningxia Qing, and it is even less likely that he will offend the Mongol tribes because of this.

Let King Yelu offend the Mongol tribes for the sake of Ningxia Qing? Especially at a time when the relationship between the Mongol tribes and the Yelu tribes is becoming more and more sensitive? Ning Xia Qing didn't think that King Yelu was such a brainless person.

Even if Ah Zheng pleaded, it was difficult to guarantee that King Yelu would not secretly do evil after agreeing on the surface.
