Chapter 167
When Zhu Yidao left, only a burning thatched hut was left behind him.
On the way back, he kept rubbing the jade seal in his arms, feeling uneasy. The shock just now has not passed, could it be that the descendant of Jianwen who has been looking for many years is the old man? Otherwise, how could there be a jade seal on him that had been missing for a long time? The disappearance of this jade seal is only known to the old people in the palace, and even the Jinyi Guard may not be known to a few people. And this thing must not be left on his body, he still understands the truth that the husband is not guilty of his crimes, and he must hand it over to Wanli as soon as possible! I don't know if when Wanli announced that he had found the long-missing jade seal, could he stop those ministers who were worried about the world?
At the beginning, Wanli suspected that he was a descendant of Jianwen, and he almost didn't click on himself, but now he can finally get rid of his identity! But there is still a doubt, that is, how can the descendants of Jianwen have only one old man and a child? But this is no longer a problem that you should consider, and the key now is to return this hot potato to Wanli!
When he returned to the right place of the Jingshi, Jiang Fei had just borrowed a team of soldiers from the wizard, in fact, Jiang Fei himself knew that in the current situation, it was simply unrealistic to let the Miao people fight the Miao people, but what could be done? You can't expect them to exterminate Yang Chaodong with a mere hundred and ten people, right? The Yang family has gathered at least thousands of Miao warriors, and they are like fish in water in the vast dense forest of Nanmu Mountain, and the top priority is to be able to delay it for a day, as long as it is delayed until the arrival of the imperial army, everything should be over. Besides, this is still the result of begging the wizard for a long time, grandpa suing grandma for a long time, and in exchange. The sorcerer promised to send one hundred and fifty Miao warriors, but he was only responsible for finding Yang Chaodong's hiding place and did not help them in the battle. But this has already made Jiang Fei satisfied, grateful to Dade! As long as you find his hiding place, are you afraid that you won't be able to do it?
When Jiang Fei saw Zhu Yidao and his party coming back with haggard faces, he hurriedly left the wizard and greeted him. I haven't rested much in the mountains for nearly a day and a night, and after such a long journey, I haven't eaten anything, how can I not be haggard?
"Do we have big casualties? It's good to come back alive! Then Yang Chaodong really can't find it, forget it! I've asked the wizard to send Miao soldiers to help find it! Jiang Fei asked eagerly.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Yidao felt very relieved. Don't ask Yang Chaodong if he finds it, first ask about his brother's casualties, Jiang Fei really regards the Jingshi Right Institute as his home!
"A brother died, but Yang Chaodong ......"
"What?!" Jiang Fei suddenly jumped like thunder, and stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Yidao's neckline: "A brother died...... A brother died! Zhu Yidao, Zhu Yidao...... Lao Tzu worked so hard for so many days and nights to cultivate a good seedling...... I'll be killed by you bastard! I don't care! If you don't give Lao Tzu an explanation, let's let the emperor administer justice! "Jiang Fei is really anxious, in fact, he knows that the right place of the Jingshi cannot grow up without actual combat, but the soldiers must be sacrificed to be valuable! If you can't find Yang Chaodong, you can't find it, but this brother's sacrifice is meaningless at all! With more than 100 people with him, it would be good to be able to find Nanmu Mountain!
"Don't worry...... Listen to me first! Zhu Yidao tried to knock off Jiang Fei's hand, but this guy still didn't give up: "What is the name of the brother...... What is your name?! Lao Tzu wants to ask the emperor for credit! Still...... And I want to impeach you! ”
"Let's see what this is?" Lao Zhu reluctantly raised the thing he was carrying, Jiang Fei snatched it up, opened it and looked at it, he was stunned, it was Yang Chaodong's head!
Seeing that he finally stopped, Zhu Yidao hurriedly explained that it was not he who found Yang Chaodong, but Yang Chaodong who found him! This guy is going to fight his ambush in the mountains and forests, but after all, the right place of the Jingshi is well-trained and equipped with elite firearms, where can Yang Chaodong eat it in one bite? originally wanted to catch it alive, but he didn't expect Yang Chaodong to work so hard! He claims to have thousands of troops, but in fact, there are only fifty or sixty people when he is full, and even such a small number of people dare to pull tiger skins as a banner, isn't this looking for death? If you die a brother, you can exchange it for a head of Yang Chaodong, and the brother's death is worth it! Pulled a rebel leader to bury himself.
Jiang Fei then laughed again, the great sorrows and joys of this life came too quickly. He couldn't help but get excited! This is the first battle of the right place of the capital division! can play such a beautiful result in the first battle, it is impossible not to make a name for yourself in the Ming Dynasty! The emperor's wolves also participated in this battle, although it was a small-scale encounter, but it was not so easy to do everything in one battle! He held the head and ran to the front of the sergeants, and for a while he only knew that he was smirking, and Lao Zhu hurriedly urged him: "Don't be excited!" Hurry up and send someone to report to the emperor! These tens of thousands of troops are already on the way! Wait until they arrive at you to report it, even if it is meritorious, it will become sin! Jiang Fei suddenly realized, and shouted in a puff of smoke to find the herald.
But the wizard always had a lot of doubts: "Then Yang Chaodong's subordinates really only have dozens of people?" And not the thousands, as he says? As far as I know, there are still a lot of Miao tribes in Nanmu Mountain! This news spread slowly, and they didn't necessarily know the news of the Yang family's annihilation! Lao Zhu explained again that there were indeed only a few dozen people, and the army's morale was unstable, and it seemed that they were scrupling about something, so they were able to kill Yang Chaodong smoothly, and it is estimated that this matter has spread throughout Banzhou!
But the wizard still didn't let him go: "How did you get out of Nanmu Mountain?" ”
On the way back, Zhu Yidao had already figured out how to make it up, and said by the way, there was a person who didn't die to show them the way, but unfortunately that guy's life was miserable, and he hung up halfway, buried the guy hastily, and delayed for a while to find a way out! Ah, the wizard nodded thoughtfully.
Zhu Yidao looked at what she was thinking, for fear that she would continue to ask endlessly, and these people couldn't know about the jade seal! But the wizard opened his mouth again: "You go into the mountain...... Did you see an elderly Han man and a child? ”
Lao Zhu's heart chuckled, and he pretended to be confused and said, "What old man and child?" Didn't see it! There are also Han elderly people and children here? Wizard, you didn't fool me, did you? Nion, who was in charge of the translation, glared at him fiercely, how could he talk to a wizard like that! After telling the wizard about that last sentence tactfully, she nodded with relief: "Forget it if you don't see it...... That's my father and loved ones! I'm just left with two of them! ”
Zhu Yidao's heart suddenly rose to his throat again. That bad old man turned out to be the wizard's father? How did they get involved? Then the wizard wouldn't know about the jade seal, would he?! He quietly touched the five-four hand on his waist again*, if this wizard knew, he would have to kill her desperately! However, Nion said that the wizard was tired and needed to rest, so let everyone go back first. He breathed a sigh of relief.
However, in the evening, Nion came to find Zhu Yidao and said that the wizard had something to talk about with him. Lao Zhu followed in disbelief, and after thinking about it before leaving, he still pinned May Fourth to his waist. Don't be a Hongmen feast!
But the wizard only told Zhu Yidao about her history. It turned out that the old man was her father, and when she was very young, her father fled to the mountains and forests with a large family to avoid pursuit, and left her to be raised by the old village. Since she was a child, she has shown a unique intelligence, which makes Zhai Lao very satisfied and amazed everyone, especially when she learned divination from the elders, which makes everyone even more impressed. Miao people are very reverent of gods and ghosts, her divination is not accurate, when the wind and rain are smooth in those years is not the general accuracy, and the harvest is much better than in previous years, so everyone is very respectful. When Zhai Lao proposed that she take over the old wizard's class and serve as the next wizard, it didn't provoke any kind of backlash. Regardless of whether she is Han or Miao, as long as she can bring a good life to the Miao people, everyone will not mind at all.
She was handed over to Zhai Lao not long after she was born, so she was very unfamiliar with her family and relatives, and Zhai Lao was also silent about it. It was only later that I learned a little about the origins of those people after they were inexplicably revealed. However, it is very difficult to find relatives in the vast Nanmu Mountain. Moreover, being a wizard is also restricted, and he cannot enter and leave the holy land at will, so he has to give up. She only knew that her father had to hide in the mountains in order to avoid pursuit, and the reason why she was left behind was to leave a trace of blood for herself; On the other hand, it is also for her own safety, although she is a girl, she still has the blood of the Zhu family in her body, which is enough. Although she is still Han, except that she has Han blood flowing in her body, she grew up in the Miao family, and there is no difference between her and ordinary Miao girls, let alone speak Chinese.
As she grew older, she couldn't get married and have children, and she couldn't have too much contact with men, so she began to miss her relatives who she had never met, and just when she was going to send someone into the mountains to look for her, Yang Yinglong planned to rebel, and this matter had to be abandoned. The shaman has a special position in the tribe of the Miao people, although he has supreme authority, he cannot lead the clan, and the specific leader can only be the Tusi; However, Tusi didn't dare to disobey the wizard easily, after all, she was the spiritual leader of all Miao people, and whoever easily offended her would be the enemy of all Miao people! And the elders and elders are formal symbols, so they have nothing to do about the rebellion of Tusi. It's just that this gives the wizard a chance, a chance to find his long-lost relatives, Zhu Yidao entered the mountain to encircle and suppress Yang Chaodong, of course she had to ask, did she see an old man and a child? Because from the mouths of the Yang family, she learned that her relatives were only her father and a little guy. It's just a pity that Zhu Yidao's answer made her lose the last glimmer of hope.
