When it was nearly the second watch, Xiao Ying, who was holding a steel knife, suddenly appeared in front of Zhezhe's door, with cold eyebrows, but because it was night, she couldn't see her expression clearly.

The sentry standing guard only asked, and immediately recognized her, in Lin Yi's troops, who doesn't know Xiao Ying, not to mention that the courtyard is lit up.

As soon as the Ming army standing guard asked, Xiao Ying agreed and started, and beat the two Ming soldiers standing guard down with three punches and two feet. These two guys didn't expect Xiaoying to do anything to them, and they didn't dare to fight back at all.

Then Xiao Ying flew up, kicked the door open, and broke in with a knife, this is not a secret assassination, this is an open break.

Xiao Ying came directly to Zhezhe's bed, Zhezhe didn't sleep at all, she got up directly when she heard the movement, the woman broke in, she already guessed who it was, because in Lin Yi's army, the only female soldier she saw was Xiao Ying.

"Miss Xiaoying, what are you going to do?"

"Slut, I'm going to kill you!" Xiaoying couldn't say anything, and the snowflake steel knife stabbed at her.

Zhezhe was forced to fight back, and the two women fought hard in the house, clanging, and soon hit the courtyard from the house.

The two women tossed so much in the middle of the night, which had already alarmed the soldiers of the Ming army, and there were already many soldiers of the Ming army standing in the courtyard, and the torches shone like day.

But the two of them fought, and no one dared to come and intervene.

Xiao Ying completely ignored it, and completely killed Zhezhe, a rival in love, as a Tartar. Because Zhezhe was under the fence, he just coped with saving his life, and he didn't dare to hurt Xiaoying, so he suffered a loss this time.

After being forced into the courtyard, Zhezhe did not stand firm, and the door was wide open. Xiao Ying saw that the time had come, and used a trick taught to him by Lin Yi to stab Zhezhe with a volley.

In front of Zhezhe, who was blocked by a strong shadow, it was Lin Yi, he was wearing a soft middle coat, and the blade of the snowflake steel knife was about to pierce Lin Yi's body, but it was frozen in Lin Yi's chest, it turned out to be Lin Yi's hand, which had already grabbed the back of the steel knife.

"Huh?" When Xiao Ying saw Lin Yi, she screamed in surprise, she thought she had been stabbed.

"Have you had enough trouble?"

Xiao Ying was obedient in front of Lin Yi, although he saw that Lin Yi actually blocked the knife for Zhezhe, and his heart was like a knife, but she was not ready to turn her face and lose her temper with Lin Yi, because in front of Lin Yi, she had already learned to be a woman, or what kind of docile and virtuous woman.

Xiao Ying saw that Lin Yi was fine, without saying a word, she threw the steel knife and turned around and left, Lin Yi didn't say a word, she took her into her arms from behind, Zhezhe felt inconvenient to stay on the spot, returned to his room, and closed the door.

Zhang Hua, Erhu, He Tao, Wang Qi and others were also shocked, seeing Lin Yi and Xiaoying so ambiguous, in front of the public, it was the first time for the two of them to be so open and affectionate, and their eyes were wide.

"Get out of here." Lin Yi said softly, Zhang Hua, Erhu, He Tao, Wang Qi and the other soldiers in the courtyard were scattered like birds and beasts, and in the blink of an eye, they were as clean as if they had been swept away.

There were only two of them left in the courtyard of Nuoda, and Xiaoying in her arms was left to Lin Yi to hug her like this, and in the darkness, she was full of tears of grievance.

"Fool, we are all big girls or so rude and willful, we have nothing, in my heart, Ying'er will always be the first......" Lin Yi said softly, wiping away her tears.

"Really? You're not coaxing me......"

"When did I lie to you, but you almost ruined my big thing, and I have to punish you tonight."

Lin Yi said, picked up Xiaoying domineeringly and entered his room, Xiaoying's tears flew in his smile......

This scene, Zhezhe saw clearly from the window of his room, and couldn't help but feel enthusiastic and jumping, and she quickly put her little hand on her chest.

Everything in the courtyard was as quiet as ever, and the soldiers standing guard came again, but the door changed from two to four.

Zhezhe quickly turned around and went to the inner room, back on his bed......

The next day, Lin Yi and Xiaoying came out of the room, as if what happened last night didn't happen.

After washing up and having breakfast, Lin Yi took Xiaoying to Zhezhe's room.

"Your Excellency." Zhezhe hurriedly got up to greet him, and came to a thousand blessings.

"Okay last night's rest, that one...... Ying'er, she lost her mother when she was a child, and later lost her father, she was rude and willful, I let her, and I ask the girl for forgiveness for yesterday's incident. ”

"How offensive." Xiao Ying blushed, like a child making a mistake, and came over to give Zhezhe a fist.

"It's nothing, but Miss Xiaoying's knife skills are really good." Zhezhe smiled.

"I know you're letting her, and you're going to get along in the future. Tomorrow we will set off, the soldiers are out of Weng Niute, and the cooperation is happy! ”

After two days of preparation, everything was ready, according to the agreement between Lin Yi and Zhezhe in advance, Lin Yi asked Zu Keyong and Wang Jian to stay behind in the Xifengkou and Qingziling defense lines, and 3,000 men and horses left 2,500 people for the two of them to prevent the Tartars from attacking.

Zu Keyong and Wang Jian originally suggested that Lin Yi bring more soldiers and generals to go deep into the hinterland of the Mongolian Tatars, in case of change, the 500 men would be a bit alone.

was rejected by Lin Yi, defending Guancheng was a task assigned to them by the imperial court, and it was also the duty given to them by Liu Zhaoji, the chief soldier, of course, Guancheng was the most important.

Go to Weng Niu Terling Yi thinks that it is enough to bring 500 elites.

Counting Lin Yi's personal guards, he selected 500 iron cavalry, of which more than 300 are the combat power of "Guanning Iron Cavalry +", among the more than 300 soldiers, there are 100 muskets, and the remaining more than 200 Guanning iron cavalry are double weapons of bows and arrows and swords.

With enough ammunition, grain, grass and water, as well as tents and other application materials, Lin Yi took Xiaoying and Zhezhe, a total of more than 600 horses, more than 100 cattle to transport materials, and more than a dozen large carts and small cars were also pulled by livestock.

Lin Yi set the itinerary for two months, that is, in the spring of the next year. If they don't come back for more than two months, it means that they have an accident, and let Zu Keyong and Wang Jian report to the chief soldier for decision.

Zu Keyong and Wang Jian sent Lin Yi away, and many factions along the way did not collect the news at night and inquired about the news in time.

Lin Yi has grown so big, it is the first time he has been outside the border. He believes in the reins of the horse, and looks around at the winter prairie, and the scenery is also pleasant.

Due to the recent period, the weather was exceptionally good and there was no snow. What used to be a green grassland is now full of yellow grass, but it is still vast and boundless. The yellow grass in the wind swayed in the cold wind.

Lin Yi and the others were all wearing cotton armor, and 500 soldiers of the Ming army lined up in a long line on the grassland under the banner of Lin Zi.

Lin Yi was surrounded by a Han beauty and a Mongolian girl, who formed the most beautiful scenery on the grassland in winter.

In the upper reaches of the Liao River, at the west end of the Horqin Sandy Land, there is a soil city in the low hills, which is the Weng Niu Special Earth City at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The walls are not high, about two meters, but they are relatively wide, and they are all made of adobe with a gate. The entire Tucheng occupies an area, and the radius is about 5 tilts of land.

There are a large number of yurts and adobe houses scattered inside and outside the city.

It is a place where more than 30,000 people live together.

About forty miles away from Wengniute City, Lin Yi's men and horses no longer moved forward, backed by the Xiliao River, found a high ground, and set up camp.

The royal palace of the city of Onniut. Bayan Bushaer, the chief of Ongniut, led the people to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, in order to appease and win the hearts of the people, Huang Taiji also sealed him the title of prince.

But all the border tribes that surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, according to the regulations, had to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty every year, and the tribute was, of course, some gold, silver, jewelry, grain, livestock, and of course, beautiful women. In addition, according to the need, when the war started, they were still sending troops to follow the Qing soldiers to fight, and now they have also become a flag of the Qing army, and the flag of the Qing Dynasty fluttered on the head of Wengniute City, and then the flag of the Wengniute Department to show the difference from other tribes.

Every tribe in Mongolia, the more beauties sent to Shengjing every year, of course, the more the merrier. Now that they have recognized Huang Taiji's status as the Khan king, all the ministries are digging their hearts and trying to curry favor with this emperor of the Qing Dynasty in order to ensure the interests of their tribe.

The Weng Niu tribe began a beauty pageant, offering the most beautiful women to Huang Taiji or his son, and as a result, Zhezhe, the daughter of their tribal chieftain, was chosen.

But now that Zhezhe has fled, this incident has caused an uproar in the Weng Niu Special Department.

You must know that running away from marriage is a very serious matter, especially when this family affair has been decided, Zhezhe said that he would be a concubine for Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge, Zhezhe's escape, some people were unwilling in the first place.

"Lord Wang, Princess Zhezhe is too willful, the big wedding is coming, how can she be like this?" The deputy city lord Wen Keduo looked dissatisfied.

In the Ongniut Division, Winkdo was the most powerful candidate to compete with Bayanbushar for the tribal chieftaincy, he had five brothers, he had three sons, and their family was eight generals, all of whom had fame and military strength.

This time, Huang Taiji named Bayan Bushar as the king, and he was a little unconvinced, so he only got a small deputy city lord.

The philosophical things made him see hope and see the opportunity to turn over.

With his four brothers, three sons, and seven generals, he appeared arrogantly in the palace of Bayan Bushaar.

"Hey, it's really embarrassing!"

The chieftain Bayanbushar sighed, he must have known that this matter could not be finished, and that the matter of Zhezhe was not only the business of his family, but the matter of their entire Ongniut tribe.

If Zhezhe becomes the side blessing of the crown prince, it will be a great honor for everyone in Weng Niute, and now that the boiled duck is about to fly, this glory is going to be lost, of course some people are not happy.

First of all, he thought of Wen Keduo, who was growing maggots in the holes, and sure enough, within three days of their return to Wengniute City, the eight of their family members came to ask for the guilt.

"What is the prince going to do about this?" Wen Keduo's gong face was gloomy, as if he was the master of a department, domineering and commanding in front of the city lord and prince.

His four brothers and three sons also pouted, all of them fully armed, with all kinds of weapons behind their backs, and they could do it at any time.

Bayanbushal's eldest son, Ali, interjected: "My father was about to shoot this slut under his horse with an arrow, but he didn't expect a team of Ming soldiers to appear, and it was Lin Yi who robbed him. My father led us to a fight, but we were outnumbered and killed and wounded more than 100 brothers, but we still let them rob people, and my father was about to send troops to rescue them. ”

"Ali, you have it," Wen Keduo's second brother Hu Che pursed his mouth and said disdainfully, "We have all heard that the prince's arrow shot the princess's war horse, and everyone has seen with their own eyes that running away from marriage is a capital crime, which shows that the prince wants to protect the princess." The dignified prince couldn't beat a few Ming troops, and he glared at people to snatch people away, not so much to rob, but to give it away with both hands! ”

"You?" Ali clenched the knife in his hand angrily.

"Why are you still not convinced?" Hu Che looked contemptuous, "Even if the army is sent to rescue people, the princess has become a broken flower and a willow, how can this matter be explained to His Majesty the King of Khan?" ”

"This is our family's philosophy, what does it have to do with you?" Bayan Mushaer's second son, Murizab, said angrily.

"It's not right for the second son to say that!" The deputy city lord Wen Keduo took over, "The princess of my department marrying the prince of the Qing Dynasty is not a private matter of your family, it is a major matter of our Weng Niu Special Department. ”

"Don't say anything about it." The old face of the city lord Bayan Bushar turned red, "This king will send troops tomorrow, whether it is dead or alive, he must bring Zhezhe back, and then this king will ask His Majesty the Khan for guilt and let it fall." ”

As soon as Bayanbushar's words fell, a Mongolian Tatar from outside came in and reported: "Report to the prince, Princess Zhezhe is back......"
