This unicorn has a head and hooves similar to a horse, a tail like a deer's, ears like a wolf, a neck like a giraffe, but the length is not so exaggerated, the horns are like a rhinoceros, and the body is like a mixture of a rhinoceros and a hippopotamus, but it has thick hair, feeds on various weeds, has a wider diet than horses and mules, can eat almost as much food as it is, and eats leaves except meat, is not picky eater, has a docile personality and is not easy to get angry, and does not run fast, but has excellent endurance.

It is no wonder that Xu Guo and Song Guo have tried to breed unicorns and mares several times, and the breeding freaks have been fruitful, but now it seems that it is not a species at all, and the genes do not match. In order to prevent the Central Plains from obtaining unicorn resources, all the unicorns sent to the front line were stallions without exception, and they didn't even have a chance to pick up leaks.

Three days later, Bailiyan coerced the descendants of the Central Plains, plundered the grain and grass in the camp, and slaughtered all the livestock and took them away. He also forced the descendants of the three and fourth generations who had been alienated from the Central Plains to kill Jin Xuedi's prisoners of war and diehards with knives to deter them.

Sisenke was the interpreter of the Jinxuedi people stationed in Blackgill Lake, in his early thirties, a pidgin, and his level was far inferior to that of Figos, just because he was from Posong City, it was useful to keep him.

The horses were far from enough to fit everyone, and in order to speed up the march, all the tall horses mounted two, and the unicorn had a wide back, and there were more than enough seats for four, but most of them were loaded with rations and winter clothing, and those who could carry people were overstretched.

Since the seizure of the unicorn three days ago, Bai Liyan learned that the barbarian army not only used the unicorn to transport grain and grass, but also installed stretchers on both sides of the unicorn, one left and one right can just lie down for two people, so that the wounded can be smoothly transported to the rear, which is extremely convenient.

Bailiyan has always thought that the unicorn is simply a bug of the infinite opening of this time and space, and now it seems that the opening of the hanging is obviously unable to describe the existence of the unicorn.

Soon after the disappearance of Baili Yan's troops, Yuke and the remnants of the Xian army successively sent scouts to venture south, frantically searching for the traces of Baili Yan, and at the same time, the barbarian army also expanded the range, but no trace of Baili Yan could be found in any case.

At this time, both sides learned the news from the capture of each other's captives, and the Yuke and Xian troops were temporarily relieved, at least the barbarian army did not get Bailiyan's head, nor was it captured alive, and the disappearance was much smaller than the political consequences caused by directly taking Bailiyan's head alive.

As for the Jin Xuedi people, they were puzzled by this, they couldn't see anyone alive or dead, and they even wondered if they would have died outside Duhui City a long time ago, rotting among the corpses, and were not discovered by Nilerson's subordinates.

In late August, Xiaochi was lost, Yuecheng and Yesui were besieged one after another, Cao Chi was successfully retreating to Tusai to hold on, and the bisculotic disease was contained, but seeing that winter was coming, Cao Chi was returning to the Central Plains in a hurry, and the tea was transported to the south within three months from the date of the arrival of the national order, so as to resist the recurrence of bisculoemic disease in winter.

In September, there was no news from the remnants of Bailiyan, and King Xian's secret letter had been sent to Qianyue Mountain, Lu Zhao's injuries had recovered, and Lu Cheng, Wu Deng, Xu Wei, Jiang Zhan and others did not know how to deal with it, so they had to return to Xianguo by Jiang Zhan himself to meet King Xian.

In fact, after Bailiyan disappeared in August, the princes and coalition forces have been discussed, but the news is still uncertain, Wang Yanfei, Ji Yao, and Shen Bi undoubtedly believe that Bailiyan is dead, after all, he has been missing for more than a month, and there is not much difference from death.

The first snow of the year came exceptionally early, with the first light snow falling in mid-September, followed by the sun turning to dew again. Frost fell on the second day, followed by a rapid drop in temperature.

Bailiyan continued to lead his army southward, encountering almost no resistance along the way, as if entering a no-man's land. When the weather turns cooler, keeping out of the cold becomes a tricky problem, and there is not enough clothing to keep warm. Occasionally, rock sheep and cashmere deer are found, they are shot and killed, they eat meat and take skins to keep out the cold, and they live a life that is almost like drinking blood, and all the wealth is taken from nature.

On September 20, heavy snow fell in the south, and the battle became more and more favorable to the Jinxuedi people, who launched a fierce attack on several fronts, and crossed Yuecheng and Yesui, and advanced into the hinterland of the coalition army. Many places were lost, and the situation of the war took a sharp turn.

In October, the weather was angry and people complained, the worst winter drought in the Central Plains in ten years, the drivers of the Black Turban Army revolted again, various places entered a moment of riot, the defeat of the southern battle, and the requisition of the people, which seriously intensified the already deteriorating social class contradictions.

In just one month, there were 17 rebellions of more than 100,000 people in various parts of the Central Plains, and there were more than 400,000 people who defended the country through Xu State, changed banners overnight, and captured the evil example of Xu City, resulting in the Xu defense line being broken through, and forced to move the capital to the southeast, and the winter supply of the coalition army was seriously threatened.

On the twenty-seventh day of October, on the eve of the 100-day banquet for the birth of the lord of Xuanting, King Xian summoned Princess Lanyuan in Bailing Garden, and her appearance was completely new compared to the beginning of the year.

First of all, the salt barons successively implemented the salt drying method in Lucheng for more than half a year, and it achieved great results, not only freeing up more than 100,000 manpower, but also increasing the salt production several times compared with previous years, further increasing the profits of salt, and greatly enriching the state treasury.

Later, there are countless pearls of Xiao'er, after careful selection, tens of thousands of pearls, the king of Xian specially ordered the royal division to make several pearl pads of pearls above the good pearls, in order to reward the use.

"Sister Wang, look at the shape of the widow's pearl cushion."

"My God, Brother Wang, there must be four or five hundred pearls here!"

Lan Yuan was extremely envious, and King Xian said very proudly:

"Hey, these are small beads, in the treasure house of the widow, there are more than thousands, how many are there. The craftsman of the Imperial Division said that the beads are too big and uncomfortable to sit on the meat, and only with the pearls of the size of beans are densely connected to sit comfortably, and they can also activate the muscles and veins and prolong life. ”

What King Xian said was amazing, and Princess Lan Yuan was skeptical:

"There is such a god......

"No, the widow has been sitting for a few days, and he feels that he is comfortable and tight, and in the spring of next year, the widow will make a pearl mat, such a comfort, Liang Tianzi is probably the tenth generation, and he is not so enjoyable."

"It's not a transgression, is it?"

"No, for hundreds of years, there have been countless gems and jade, but there are a few people who can get countless pearls, and only one person is alone, and there is no suspicion of transgression, Wang Mei can rest assured. By the way, the widow also made three pieces for Sister Wang, you and Fu'er, Mrs. Xiao'er, you see that the shape is not satisfactory, if it is not satisfactory, the widow will let the royal division re-system. ”

When Lan Yuan heard the news, Jiang Hai made three more pearl seats, and he was surprised, how much silver does this cost:

"I also made three pieces, that's two thousand pearls, Brother Wang, you're not dizzy!"

"Nonsense, isn't this a treat for your mother and daughter."

"How many pearls does this cost?"

"If you don't want much, the widow won't hide it from you, but this time I got more than 100,000 yuan, even if it is only half of the previous price, it is millions of inches of silver."

"My God, why didn't Fu'er reveal any news to me as a mother!"

"In the past few months of confinement, Mrs. Xiao secretly led people to do things. In addition to hundreds of thousands of pearls, there are also tens of thousands of bad pearls and an unknown number of good pearls, all in the hands of Mrs. Xiao. ”

"Hah!" Princess Lan Yuan was shocked: "This girl has done such a big thing behind my mother and daughter's back quietly, how much silver does this cost!" ”

"But no, the widow heard that the Xiban people are swarthy, and their women like this pearl powder, Gongzi Yan planned to open a trade canal and go to the Xiban to trade, if the pearl powder is sold to the Xiban, I don't know how much gold is entered every year."

"Oh my God, how did Gongzi Yan conjure up so many pearls, they were really planted?"

King Xian laughed:

"Hehaha...... I heard Gongzi Yan say that pearls are pregnant in river mussels and sea mussels, and they can indeed be planted. But the widow has tried many times, but there is no progress, and most of them still have some unknown doorway. But this is a good business, and the widow has not treated his precious niece badly. ”

"Hehe, yes, yes, or you, as an uncle, are thoughtful." Princess Lan Yuan giggled and closed her mouth happily.

While the two were talking, Gao Xun hurriedly came, and King Xian saw that his face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't help asking:

"Gao Qing, why is your face like this?"

"Big, king, something happened, something big!"

"What's the matter, isn't it that Ding Yang Hou's father and son lost Wei Jin!"

From last year to July this year, Guan Longqing between Shaoping and Yongxing City, after building the wharf and Zhongxing City, the troops guarding the west county of the capital county went south to defend Zhongxing City, and the king of Xian ordered Ding Yang Hou and his son to lead troops to garrison Weijin, and the black turban army knew that Ding Yang Hou and his son were not tossed, so they concentrated limited forces to besiege Weijin, and several times they were in a hurry, which made Zhao Xun tired of running.

At first glance, King Xian thought that the father and son of Dingyang Marquis had lost Weijin, and he was very nervous.

Gao Xun's face was as pale as mourning, he choked for a long time, and said carefully:

"King, Jiang Zhan has returned from the south!"

"Jiang Zhan?" King Xian thought hard about the name, and quickly dug out the impression from the corner of his memory: "Is it Jiang Zhan who was ordered to sneak in the city when Gongsun Yue committed the rebellion?" He also went to the southern expedition? ”

"Exactly."

"This ......" Xian Wang Meng was stunned, and his tone sank in a blink of an eye: "It's Gongzi Yan who has an accident!" ”

"Yes!"

Before the words fell, Lan Yuan exclaimed when he heard the news:

"My son-in-law, what's wrong with my son-in-law, Brother Wang, what happened to Gongzi Yan!"

King Xian's face suddenly sank to the bottom, and he hurriedly asked:

"Tell me what's going on!"

"Back to the king, in June, the barbarian army spread evil diseases in the south, resulting in just three months, more than one million soldiers and civilians were killed, and the situation in the south has now been completely collapsed, and the coalition army lost more than 1,000 miles of land and lost more than 1,000 miles, and has been defeated and retreated to Mingzhou. Gongzi Yan, who disappeared on the way to rescue Duhui in July, and his whereabouts are still unknown, Jiang Zhan searched for two months without success, so he urgently returned to China to report to the king. ”

"Lost Gongzi Yan, he still has the face to come back alive! Widow ......"

King Xian didn't come up in one breath, his eyes were dizzy, and he suddenly sat down on the pearl seat:

"The King's ......"

"My wretched daughter......"

Thinking that her daughter would have to be a widow at the age of nineteen, Princess Lan Yuan turned to tears like rain and couldn't cry.

King Xian panted fiercely, and the long-term arrogant and lascivious rhythm of life made his body unable to withstand the sudden and huge changes, and after a long time to settle his mind, King Xian asked in a deep voice:

"Jiang, where are Jiang Zhan's people!"

"Waiting outside the Lark Garden." Gao Xun replied cautiously.

"Go, bring him."

"No!"

Gao Xun turned to leave, and Princess Lan Yuan couldn't cry:

"How can you let my daughter live the rest of her life......"

"Aren't you still missing now, wait for the widow to ask clearly, and then talk!"

"What's the difference between this missing and dead, my miserable daughter......"

"If you cry, you will know ...... crying"

King Xian's heart is dripping with blood like a knife, looking back on the past few years, the Zhongxing weather is still vivid, in the blink of an eye, the building overturned and the dream was shattered, Jiang Hai was heartbroken and could not hide his grief.
