CHAPTER XXVIII
Zhu Yidao hadn't seen Shen Hui for a long time. In his impression, this little girl who likes to look at him with a smile all day long, cares about him silently, and listens to his stories quietly, her personality is really calm as water, and she is not so frightened when she encounters danger. The eyes of expectation and trust were always staring at Zhu Yidao. She was poisoned, and Lao Zhu was very strange.
How could Shen Hui get poisoned? Who poisoned it? What the hell is going on?
I'm afraid I can only go to the county seat to ask about the situation, there was an accident at that time, everyone was in a mess, Jiang Fei sent a few guards to send Shen Hui directly to the county seat. It's going to be too dangerous. Day and night in the mountains, Lao Zhu was thinking, what is happening to Shen Hui now? However, with Qin Mi's daughter Qin Xiao here, there shouldn't be too many problems in life!
Wanli has already promised to detoxify Shen Hui, and now it's time to take her over!
Just as Zhu Yidao was about to discuss with Wanli and bring Shen Hui to Fucheng, an extremely important military information message reached Wanli's hands.
Ningxia Zhongwei periphery Mongolia Huoluochi invaded the Tao River.
Things are not complicated, Huoluochi itself is a relatively powerful tribe in Mongolia, and he always has to attack the border so many times a year, which is nothing more than grabbing food and goods, but this time it is a little strange to directly invade the Tao River.
Huo Luochi himself doesn't have the ability to commit the Ming Dynasty! And the most important thing is that Huo Luochi has already been disturbed once at the beginning of spring this year, why did he buckle the edge again this time?
Wanli pondered, could it be that several big tribes joined forces to do this? But there is no inducement! Are they going to go deep into the Central Plains once? It's easy to get in and out, but it's not that simple! Li Chengliang and his son Li Rusong are guarding the border! With Li Chengliang on the border, Wanli didn't need to worry too much at all, he just wondered why Huo Luochi did this at all costs, there must be a reason!
Soon, more detailed information was passed back by Jinyiwei as quickly as possible.
The reason was soon clear.
Wang Mingqing and they had to smuggle a large amount of grain to Ningxia Zhongwei every year, and the Bobai tribe, which was no longer worried about food, began to quietly raise a large number of private soldiers, and at the same time even had the financial and material resources to support some tribes on the grassland that were more dense with their own Qin. At this time, Huo Luochi and other tribes were dissatisfied.
But they had no other way to get food. The Mongol nobles, who had become accustomed to pampering and enjoying themselves, longed for life in the Central Plains and did not want to go back to the past, so they gathered together to fight the trouble of Bobai. The appearance of the grain in Wang Ling gave these tribes hope: to rob the Ming Dynasty.
Several tribal leaders discussed this matter, no, Daming is too powerful, and there must be death and no life in the past! It's better to clean up Bobai.
Bobai was also surprised that the follow-up food was not in place, but since there was no shortage of food to eat now, there was no need to think so far for the time being. Unexpectedly, Huo Luochi and the news that they were going to do it were known by Bo Bai. So Bobai was well prepared to defend against the attacks of these tribes.
But Bobai soon learned that the grain had been robbed! And on their own turf!
This is simply unacceptable! If this spreads, how can I be a person, there are still so many thousands of people under my hands! You can't just leave it at that! According to the spy, the means did not look like the steppe people did it. Who has such a big hand to dodge such a crossbow arrow! It's so extravagant! Crossbows are the best opponents of cavalry, but the Ming Dynasty now has firearms, and gradually crossbow arrows are not used so much, and the control is not so strict. If you want to get so much, you still have to have some means.
Bo Bai then released a message on the grassland, saying that a batch of grain was originally to be sent to various tribes, but it was suddenly withdrawn by the Ming Dynasty. Now the grain should be not far from the steppe, and Bobai is willing to agree with everyone that whoever gets the grain first will have the right to control it.
As soon as Huo Luochi received the news, he immediately joined forces with several other tribes and sent troops, and chased him until he was almost in the Central Plains, but he still didn't see the shadow of food.
But Da Ming's reaction was unexpected: You and I are a public stable, come and go as you want?
Governor Dang Xin knew that this was Bobai's petty trick, but he really wanted to get some military merits, so he reported to the imperial court, saying that he was going to go to the court to quell the rebellion - Dang Xin wanted to take advantage of the defeat of Bobai and Huo Luochi to rob the fire.
But Jin Yiwei didn't know about this situation, and of course Wanli didn't know, he thought now that Huo Luochi was just a small tribe, even if he united with several other tribes, he was not Li Chengliang's opponent. The key now is that I look at this Zhu Yidao very pleasing to the eye, and his previous exploits are not on the table, if he wants to help this person up, he still has to let him have some military merits.
Now Huo Luochi's attack is a chance to let this guy go to gilding.
But Zhu didn't do it, as soon as he heard that he was asked to participate in the counterinsurgency, he shook his head like something: "Your Majesty, don't you know, I can't sleep now that I think Shen Hui wants to go, so I think I'll go back to the county seat when this is over to see how she is doing." You've got to give the grass people, no, a little rest, right? ”
Wanli's face couldn't help but sink: "In your eyes, isn't there a woman in my Ming Frontier?!" I have already said that I will naturally take her to the palace and let the imperial doctor treat her well. You don't joke, don't you think I'm joking with you?! ”
As soon as Zhu Yidao saw that this master had set up the emperor's shelf, he knew that this matter was afraid of Huang, he thought about it and said to Wanli: "Your Majesty, then you take Shen Hui first, and then I will go to Ningxia, okay?" "He really didn't take this emperor too seriously in his heart - who let Wanli not look like an emperor as long as he and Zhu Yidao are together?
Wanli scratched his head in distress, he was also having a headache for Zhu Yidao: This Zhu Yidao really didn't think of himself as an emperor! Yesterday I won dozens of taels of silver in the fight, and I didn't say anything. Let him do something today, it is also for his good, and he actually picks and chooses to ask for a price!
Lao Zhu's eyes rolled, and he had an idea: "Otherwise, let's compare the size!" If I'm big, you'll have to take Shen Hui over; If you are big, I won't say a word, and I will rush to Ningxia for 800 miles! ”
Wanli was overjoyed: "This is what you said, don't regret it!" ”
He is still very confident in his skills compared to size. He didn't know if it was because of his good luck, every time he lost a mess compared to Jiang Fei and these people, Zhu Yidao didn't win a few times, which made Wanli overjoyed, and said bluntly, why didn't Zhu Yidao create this kind of gameplay earlier?
Now Lao Zhu himself proposed to compare the size to decide, Wanli is really secretly happy in his heart: waiting will make you lose convincingly!
But the result made Wanli's eyes almost pop out, two wins in three games, and Wanli didn't win a single game!
Old Zhu Zhao blinked narrowly: "How is it?" The emperor wants to fulfill his promise? ”
Wanli blushed angrily: "No! Three more rounds! ”
In the third game, Wanli lost again. He scratched his head, and he didn't know why he was so unlucky today. No, you have to practice your luck today!
In desperation, I had to promise Lao Zhu to let him see Shen Hui first.
Lao Zhu was so happy in his heart, he simply let Wanli win a happy one in the past few days, and Wanli hugged those broken silver into his arms very vividly: "It's all mine, no one should rob me!" ”
Shen Hui was sent over within a few days, she was still conscious, but her whole body was paralyzed, and she couldn't move while lying on the bed.
Lao Zhu's tears fell in distress: "It's okay, it's okay!" ”
Shen Hui smiled with difficulty: "Brother Yidao, don't worry, I'm fine, Zhu Da said, he will help me find the imperial doctor." You must help him more, Brother Zhu is a good person. ”
Wanli didn't tell Shen Hui his true identity!
This made Zhu Yidao very surprised. He insisted that Wanli deliberately said in front of Shen Hui that he would not help himself in order to calm his heart, so as to win Shen Hui's sympathy, so that Shen Hui could intercede for Zhu Da in front of Lao Zhu. Lao Zhu nodded helplessly.
In fact, Zhu Yidao didn't know that Wanli found a long-lost family affection in Shen Hui's body. Since he was a child, his mother has been extremely strict with Wanli, including Zhang Juzheng, in fact, he doesn't like the huge pressure imposed on him, he is just a child with a slightly cowardly personality. Escaping everything in front of him has always been a struggle in Wanli's heart.
Only in front of Shen Hui, this girl who is like her sister makes Wanli feel that she can be so happy and relaxed. No wonder Zhu Yidao was fascinated by this not-so-beautiful girl. It's very warm to have such a sister.
Let Wanli take Shen Hui to blackmail Zhu, he will never do this.
