Volume 2 The Storm Between the Rivers Chapter 190 The Hatred of Slavery
"Hey, my sister has grown up again." Yu Chiming said in his heart.
As they grew older, the sisterhood between the two had now faded, and Ju Linglong said with a cup of water: "Why are you dressed like this?" Want to take a bath too? ”
Yu Chi Mingniao spread out his clothes and walked into the pool: "I don't know, I woke up today and found that I had slept for two days and two nights, so I naturally wanted to take a dip." ”
Compared with the two senior sisters, Ju Linglong has not yet married, although her figure is not inferior to the two senior sisters, but when she sees the little woman naked, she is naturally a little curious, although she can't see any difference, she always has some thoughts in her heart. The two girls played in the pool for a while, and then gradually calmed down.
The pool water soaked the pores of the skin and activated the meridians, of course, it was difficult to speak, Yu Chi Mingniao asked, "Why did you come to Yanzhou?" ”
Ju Linglong said: "It's not a good Taiji for you...... Brought his Yaochi gold beads. As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Yu Chi Mingniao, wanting to see her reaction.
"What...... Here she comes? Yu Chi Mingniao said in a daze: "When did you come?" ”
"You came out of Tianshan, and I almost went to pick her up, and I have been in Yanzhou for more than a month, you don't know that she is coming?"
Yu Chi Mingniao smiled bitterly: "I don't know, you also know that most of these Yanzhou tribes are from the Eagle and Hatred Department, and the relationship with the Hui Department has always been average, I only explained the will of the prince when I came back, and I went to sleep, this road was full of wind and snow, and I was very tired." Something suddenly came to mind: "Since she's here, I still have to meet her first......"
Ju Linglong pouted: "Why did you leave me here?" You also know that the wind and snow are blowing, but pity me for sleeping outside for your prince, and no one is distressed. Seeing her, you are positive, what are you afraid of, you were originally the princess, it was she who occupied the magpie's nest and robbed you of your position, you are good, you are in a hurry to see the eldest woman? Like a concubine? ”
Yu Chi Mingniao glanced at him: "What do you know, the prince doesn't like people to say this the most, the return department is very important to Xiting, otherwise he wouldn't let you escort Yaochi Jinzhu to Yanzhou." As his woman, I naturally can't be lazy, there must be rules, what is the prince most afraid of harem scheming, harem Zhen Huan or something, I don't want him to be embarrassed. ”
Ju Linglong has always been above the top, except for the master and the two senior sisters, she doesn't know anything about men and women: "Is this woman like you when she has a husband?" The second senior sister is too, since she married a father-in-law, she left the Tianshan Mountains and walked around, and she also accompanied him to wander around, saying that it sounded good and wandered the world, and it was unpleasant to say that there was no fixed place to live, and the four seas were displaced, and the Tianshan Mountains were so good...... "Speaking of this, Ju Linglong didn't speak, and after coming out, she realized that outside the Tianshan Mountains, the world is indeed a little interesting, and this Yanzhou alone makes her quite fond of it.
Taiji is also the meaning of the prince and the little prince in the Western Regions, Chi Qiu is quite lenient with her, and asks her to call her by her name in private, in front of outsiders, the prince, Taiji, and Yu Chi Mingniao also shouted indiscriminately, but she knew that Chi Qiu still liked to call her "prince", so she gradually changed it.
That Yaochi Jinzhu, that is, the meaning of the princess, of course, can also be said to be the imperial concubine, that is, the eldest lady of the family, the language of the West Pavilion is still less distinguishable for some details, and there is often a title, which is placed in different contexts and different people, with different meanings.
Since the princess is here, Yu Chi Mingniao is a concubine, the husband is not there, and when she comes back, she has to go to ask for a salute first, this Mingniao has been with Chi Qiu since she was a child, and often chatted, although she didn't know how she knew so many Chinese stories and etiquette who had never left the Western Regions, plus she had a lot of attachment to Chi Qiu, and over time she was used to acting according to Chi Qiu's habits.
Ju Linglong looked at her senior sister in a daze, in fact, she also had a girlish admiration for this senior brother-in-law, and she had been in contact with it when she was a child, and she was one of the few men she had seen growing up.
Especially this time, I left the mountain gate, passed through the station where the carving and hatred were stationed, and then went to Urumqi, the "beautiful pasture" of the new city, picked up the Yaochi Jinzhu, and then went all the way south from Turpan through the Hexi Corridor.
At first, I didn't feel anything, but after leaving Turpan, after passing through Liuyuan, Jiayuguan, and Jincheng, Ju Linglong realized that as long as the place where this brother-in-law had stayed, it gave people a different kind of surprise, in addition to karez, grapes from Turpan, and Hennessy, and even the decoration of the post house, which could not be felt in the old city of the Hexi Corridor.
Later, when she came to Yanzhou, the inadvertent comfort here made her sweep away from the master and the sorrow of the Tianshan Mountains, the dense population, the prosperity of the town, especially the memories of the old Yanzhou people and some traces of the old city, Ju Linglong can feel the changes brought by a person to a city, maybe one day, a month is not much, but in five years, the changes in Yanzhou still make people can't listen to the talk, there are new earthen kilns everywhere, but there is no lack of tents and former tile houses, the buildings here are full of flavor.
There is also a fang market here, merchants gather, warriors of all ethnic groups, caravans walk on the streets, performers, acrobats perform hard in the hook bar to attract guests, monks, nuns, Taoist priests also shuttle among the pedestrians, although Ju Linglong did not walk the world, but still feel the vitality here, the key is clean.
Yu Chi Mingniao's face showed an expression that seemed to be smiling, and said with a smile: "When you have Xianggong, you will know?" ”
"Phew, the way of martial arts, broad and profound, Taoist method, has a long history, I have served Taoism all my life."
"Cut ......" Wei Chi Mingniao said with a smile: "You fake Taoist aunt, don't talk about it, you haven't met it, if you meet a certain young talent, you are afraid of what Sanqing, you will forget about it." ”
On the skin as smooth as jade, a trace of abnormal flushing was revealed, and the little junior sister who used to be high up and despised all beings actually became a shy girl? Yu Chi Qingniao was a little surprised: "Come on, since you have been here in Yanzhou for more than a month, and the maid said that you just came back, where have you been these days, did you meet a handsome boy in Yanzhou?" Ran to dance in the snow for others? ”
"Besides, you just remembered to ask me." Ju Linglong was dissatisfied, and pinched Wei Chi for a while.
"Oh? How? Like I've offended you? ”
"You think I'm easy these days, but I've worked hard these days for your Taiji." Ju Linglong was a little dissatisfied.
Yu Chi Mingniao smiled: "Then tell me about it?" ”
If you don't say it, you can say it, but it scared Yu Chi Mingniao out of a cold sweat, it turned out that there was a caravan from Yanzhou to the Western Regions at the same time as Ju Linglong, one of the couple, responsible for living along the way, taking care of Ju Linglong very well, did not think of Yanzhou, they learned that their son who went to Hedong died from the local bandits, extremely sad, this Ju Linglong to the territory of Yanzhou, bandits, horse thieves are very few, is holding back the strength of nowhere to do it, so he alone in Hedong Luliang Mountain, before and after picking three cottages, seven thieves' dens, and learned that Hulu Manor was the mastermind behind the scenes, and even entered the city on a snowy night and burned down Kulu Manor.
When Yu Chi Mingniao heard this, he hurriedly pounced, and he didn't know that there was such a strong force from there, so he suddenly grabbed Ju Linglong's hands and shouted, "What? You actually burned down the Hurry Manor? ”
"Yo!" Ju Linglong was stunned for a moment and said, "This ......"
Yu Chi Mingniao hesitated for a moment, only to find himself standing on the water without any cover, blushing on his cheeks, and whispered: "Look...... What to see, you are not without ...... It's still older than me......" Yu Chi Mingniao thought of his little woman, who had also breastfed a child, and compared the size with a little girl, the key was not comparable, and he couldn't help but feel hot at the root of his ears, so he didn't want to say much, so he continued to ask: "Did you really burn down Hulu Manor?" ”
Ju Linglong unconsciously showed a shy smile on her face, lowered her head slightly, and said, "What about burning?" Can't you burn it? ”
Yu Chi Mingniao clenched his fists in his hands, filled with righteous indignation, his face was full of madness, and he slapped the water: "It's good to burn." ”
Seeing Yu Chi Mingniao's initial style, Ju Linglong was shocked in his heart, was he mistaken? After listening to her last sentence, she realized it like a dream, and patted it: "You scared me to death!" ”
It turned out that since Chi Qiu came to Yanzhou, he set out to rectify the chaos in Yanzhou, reclaimed Tuntian, expelled horse thieves, befriended the surrounding ethnic groups, and more importantly, opened a trade route.
Ju Linglong listened attentively, her senior sister had also traveled the world when she was her age, and she had also mentioned the name of "Seven Flowers and Ten Records" when she went back, even if she was far away in the Tianshan Mountains, she had heard a little.
It is said that there is no fixed number of bidding dates for these eight rounds, and they are all invited by the eight cards of the eight rounds. Only eighty-eight pieces a year, this card can be transferred, can be bought and sold, can be captured, recognize the card does not recognize people, a card can enter two people, the entrant can bid. For this reason, there are often bounty orders on the rivers and lakes to ask for eight cards, and a brand actually bids 100 gold and 1000 gold, which also causes a lot of trouble.
Senior Sister Ju Linglong naturally didn't have the opportunity to bid for the eight robes, but the fifth prince moved to Yanzhou, and the surrounding neighbors came to such a powerful nobleman, and these eight robbers were also very good at doing things, so the fast horse sent a piece.
So Chi Qiu and Yu Chi Mingniao arrived in Datong, and naturally went in to see the true face, this time it was unbelievable, and a major event happened, so that Yu Chi Mingniao and this sudden law realm formed a great enmity......
"What?" Ju Linglong's brain was a little bad: "You actually made a feud with the Kulu family because of this?" ”
"Isn't this an evil?" Yu Chi Mingniao's face was a little resentful, and he seemed to feel that Ju Linglong asked a little more: "My king usually doesn't like women, although some tribes offer gold and silver beads, he also reluctantly accepts it for the sake of Yanzhou's tranquility, in fact, in his eyes, it is just a mud bead and mud pill, and he has no interest, that time he finally fell in love with a maid, blonde hair and blue eyes...... "She pointed to Ju Linglong's chest and whispered: "It's bigger than yours." ”
"I finally picked one, and the price was up to two thousand gold coins (note: one gold coin = one tael of silver = ten silver coins), my king has always saved, and I have never seen him so expensive, but the Sudden Law Realm has to make a hindrance from it, and buy the maid all the way up, you say that it is hateful, should it be damned?"
"......" Ju Linglong smiled awkwardly, she didn't seem to know what to say, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she said with some puzzlement and interest: "It's because of this that you have been in the Tianshan Mountains in the past few years, searching for blonde and blue-eyed Xirong people?" Are you going to dedicate it to your prince? ”
"Not really!" Yu Chi Mingniao's eyes were full of grievances and said: "I wanted to go out and rob the maid, but I was stopped by the prince, and then I wanted to take revenge on the Hulu family, and the prince was not allowed, I really wanted to think about it, especially a few years ago, after the opening of the Hedong Trade Road, there were always cottages of Luliang and Taihang to rob our caravans, and even rob our customers. I had to search for some Xirong women to see if anyone was in the king's eye. ”
Yu Chi Mingniao's thoughts are creepy, is this how a woman who has become a relative? Ju Linglong couldn't believe her ears, but think about her senior sister, since she became a parent, she has followed her husband to run around, and she has traveled all over the world and traveled through the rivers and lakes. Thinking of the last letter, the senior sister also submitted that she was pregnant, Ju Linglong couldn't help but be worried, she really had this field, and she also reported good news and didn't report bad news to help her cover up for her husband, is this stupid after being a wife?
"The Kulu family also knew that you wanted to take revenge before robbing the caravan in Yanzhou?"
"That's not true, I'm just thinking about it, the prince doesn't allow it, I naturally won't do it, as for the two years I've not been in Yanzhou, why the prince can tolerate the Hulu family, I don't know, he always has his own ideas."
Hearing Yu Chi Mingniao say this, it also made Ju Linglong breathe a sigh of relief, although the master is a Taoist sect, but only sixteen characters of the truth are passed down, "Treat people with sincerity, be grateful, be cautious of killing thoughts, and eliminate evil." Now it seems that the Kulujia is indeed killing themselves, and they do not need to have any guilt in their actions.
Although the destruction of the Kulu family was not because of the "hatred of slave grabbing" a few years ago, Ju Linglong still felt a trace of pity.
"By the way, you can see the maid?"
"I saw it, and I gave birth to a child."
"You killed them?"
"No, don't hurt women and children, I still have this morality, but after the fire in the Huryu Villa suddenly exploded, I don't know if they escaped or not." Ju Linglong told the truth.
"Sudden explosion? What a frying method! ”
"It's just a boom...... The fire was thirty feet long, and then half of the city wall was gone, but fortunately I had already descended the mountain, otherwise I am afraid that there would be no bones left. When Ju Linglong thought of the events of that day, she had palpitations and was afraid.
"Huh?" When Wei Chi Mingniao heard this, he was speechless for a moment, and thought for a while with a cold face: "Explosives? Is it explosives? ”
"What explosives?"
Yu Chi Mingniao gestured: "The prince once said to me that there is black gunpowder in this world, if there is too much of it, it will explode at a point, the fire will soar into the sky, and the boulders will be scattered, which is called explosives, if these things are used on firearms, our cavalry in Xiting will simply go to die." ”
"Ah, could it be that they want to fight Yanzhou?" The expression on Ju Linglong's face changed uncertainly, and he suddenly remembered something, and shouted: "By the way, hey, when I saw you, I forgot about business, I found a piece of paper on the desk of the Sudden Law Realm, and I was surprised, so I hurried back." ”
"What is written?"
"The river will be chaotic, and the whole army is ready to go!"
Ju Linglong also soaked in the bath for a while, the two took this opportunity to dry themselves, left the bathroom, and when they got to the bed, Ju Linglong took out the note: "I don't know if you just said that they are planning to attack Yanzhou?" What does it mean that there will be chaos in this river? ”
"That's not right, the Kulu family is far away in Hengshan, and I have no border with Yanzhou, and during the period, they are separated by the entire Luliang, and they will take advantage of Yanzhou at most on the trade route. Wei Chi Mingniao is often in the army, and he knows the situation of the surrounding princes, except for some cottages and liukou, which of the princes with family names does not have a history of hundreds of years, and wants to cross the Yellow River to attack Yanzhou, several big princes of Luliang have trade contacts with Yanzhou, not to mention that there is the Xiting Empire behind Yanzhou, and it is difficult for a small Hulu family to persuade the princes of Hedong to go all the way to the west.
"What would that mean?"
"The river will be chaotic ......" Yu Chi Mingniao was very worried, isn't the pond feud in the river? According to the information she understands now, the empire's attack this time did not achieve the effect, not only the loss of troops and generals, but also the disappearance of a "auxiliary prince", that is, "Da Taiji", according to the agreement with the second prince Tingchi bones, Xiting will not rashly send troops to Hejian again, and it is best to maintain the status quo, so where will the chaos be? Although Hedong belongs to the category of the big river, but generally speaking, some of the Rong princes here are rarely involved in the Chinese alliance between the rivers, and the Yanhuang tribe is relatively ambiguous or even close, even if the Jinnan Xiaohedong area, the Pei family, the Sima family, the Xie family and even the Ping family are quite opposed to their Rong princes, but if it is written on a note, it will be "Jinnan will be chaotic, and the whole army is ready to go." "Instead, "The river will be chaotic, and the whole army is ready to go." ”
Yu Chi Mingniao suddenly felt that her brain was not enough, it would be good if Chi Qiu was there, as long as he was there, there was no need to abolish this thought by herself, but she didn't dare to relax, her eyes stared straight at the word "river" on the note, and put it on the fire candle, and looked at it carefully, because she knew that Chi Qiu was in the river, and it was the river in the real sense, if there was chaos somewhere, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, no matter how powerful a person is, once she is involved in turmoil, it will be like floating zero, life and death are in an instant.
Seeing that she was fascinated, Ju Linglong also stepped forward and wanted to say: Even if you eat it, I'm afraid you won't be able to see anything.
But when I got closer to her perspective, I found that the note was a little different under the candle: "You show it to me." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Yu Chi Mingniao's consent, Ju Linglong retrieved the note from her hand and shook it repeatedly on top of the candle.
It's a fast speed, although she is known as the first disciple of the Lingxi Temple, but she has not received the true biography of the Lord, is this the legendary "Lingxi One Finger"? It is said that there has never been a weapon in the world that Lingxi can't grip or clamp tightly, and she actually used it to clip such a note? Yu Chi Mingniao gasped.
Ju Linglong's eyes suddenly shot out with a cold light, and immediately recovered her cold and expressionless appearance, the air weather was solidified, and she said coldly: "Golden helmet!" ”
