At the beginning of the afternoon, Ni Niang entered the cave without an entourage.

After greeting everyone, Ni Niang handed a package to Jiang Yi, "You are too eye-catching in the flying fish suit, these are two sets of regular clothes, you and Niu Baihu hurry up and change them." ”

Niu San inside jumped up from the couch, walked over quickly and glanced at Ni Niang, and saw that she had nothing else in her hand except for throwing a package to Jiang Yi, so she sat on the stone bench with a little frustration.

Jiang Yi took the package, got up and pulled Niu San to change clothes inside, and looked at that spirit, how did he look like a person who had been wounded by an arrow?

The torrential rain outside had stopped for less than half an hour, and then it suddenly fell again, and the sound of the rain broke the silence in the cave.

Ni Niang sat down next to Zhu Qiming. Xu Gong took an umbrella and went out to inspect.

"There are indeed an unknown number of Tartar thieves infiltrated the area of Zhuolu Mountain, and after the pro-guard army returned to Beijing, the defenders of the town border city were dispatched twice to clear out a small group of Tartar thieves. After two more days, if the town border city is stable as usual, we will go to the town border city. ”

Going to the town of Ville? Yes, it is the best choice to go to the town border town now! Zhu Qiming nodded.

Inside, Niu San and Jiang Yi changed their clothes and looked at each other, probably thinking that they were quite fit, so they turned around with satisfaction, and then sat down on the couch and chatted. said that it was small talk, but in fact, he could only hear Niu San's voice, Jiang Yi just hummed and echoed occasionally.

Zhu Qiming's mind was full of questions about the Tartar thieves, thinking that they were deeply involved in this, this was definitely not the behavior of the Tatar remnants, so the Tartar thieves must come from Warat!

"Ni Niang, have you ever been to Warat?"

Ni Niang hesitated for a long time, and finally smiled lightly, "I know that His Highness will ask this question." A year ago, they were far away in Mobei, and Ni Niang did not grow wings, so they could not travel far; Now that Wara has annexed the Tatar tribes, it is close to the Ming Dynasty, but the border is restless, and Ni Niang does not want to rashly set foot in dangerous places. ”

As soon as the bamboo curtain moved, he saw Liang Gang return to the cave, said hello to Ni Niang, brought some food, and then resigned.

Zhu Qiming turned his head to look at Liang Gang's back, but unexpectedly pulled the old wound on his back, and turned around and grinned.

"What's wrong with Your Highness?"

Zhu Qiming endured it and grinned, "This seat is fine. Oh, Ni Niang, Warat has a vast territory, so it must be a large number of soldiers, right? ”

"Not really." Ni Niang shook her head, "I heard that the population of Warat is very small, and the total number of troops is probably less than 200,000. ”

Two hundred thousand? 200,000 troops make Daming dare not take its edge? But I, the Ming Dynasty, have millions of soldiers in the north alone!

"I can't take the Tatars, and the Warat can annex the Tatars in one fell swoop with only 200,000 soldiers, it seems that the world says that the Warats are good at fighting, which is true!"

"Your Highness is right. In recent years, the Wara soldiers are known as the iron cavalry, and in recent years, they have fought in the east and west, and have become soldiers in a hundred battles, and their highness may have seen them all along the way. ”

Ni Niang got up and went to the dining table to look around, and then shook her head vigorously, "Hey, there are so many people with gluttonous huge bellies, and after only two meals, there is only a bottom left in a big pot of meat!" ”

Niu San and Jiang Yi inside wanted to come over and join in the fun, and after hearing the words, they hurriedly retreated, arguing in a low voice while retreating.

"It's all your fault, you have a bloody mouth!"

"Don't lie to people, you got up and ate a meal last night, and hid there like a wild boar for half an hour!"

Niu San suddenly raised his voice: "If you want to blame, you can only blame Lianggang for the guy who pretended to be Sven!" The front of the person is a look, but the back of the person is another virtue, last night he secretly got up to eat meat and drink wine, when he was full, he pulled, pulled and ate, made a fuss in the middle of the night, fell asleep before dawn, slept like a dead pig, full of dreams, shouted the names of more than ten women in a row, and called the top of the heart, Jiao Niang'er, ouch, how disgusting it is! ”

Hearing this, Ni Niang was dumbfounded, and after a long time, she glanced at Zhu Qiming, spread her hands, pouted, and looked embarrassed, obviously in trouble with the wording.

"Your Highness, that martial artist of yours is a humble gentleman in front of people, and he has the style of a hero, but he has a lot of life experience in the future."

Ni Niang lifted the lid of the wooden retort and looked at it, and then closed the lid, "I guess this is the prototype of his life, right?" Well, interesting! Hehe, if I let my sister know, it will definitely be more interesting! ”

Niu San's snickering sounded inside.

Wronged, that's Niu San's deliberate smear! Zhu Qiming wanted to clarify the matter, but when he came out of his mouth, he suddenly changed his words: "Ni Niang, you also saw it, Master Liang only took the pancakes······"

"Your Highness doesn't need to explain anything, Ni Niang knows, knows, I had a bad stomach last night, and it's good to eat some vegetarian food today."

"No, Ni Niang, Master Liang still has to go out to inspect······"

"Ni Niang knows, knows, go out and find a place where no one is sleeping, and no one hears the dream talk!"

Hi! Zhu Qiming is too lazy to talk more, anyway, that Yun Niang is good at sending men to the underworld, and it doesn't matter if the master is disgusted by her, why let the master risk himself?

The sound of rain outside stopped again, Niu San and Jiang Yi came out to say hello, and then lifted the curtain and came out, and the snickering laughter of the two immediately floated over.

Try some little tricks! Zhu Qiming looked back at the backs of the two, and felt like he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.

Ni Niang returned to Zhu Qiming and took a seat, turned around and glanced at the bamboo curtain with his gaze, "You can't go far, Your Highness is still in the cave!" ”

"Got it!"

Ni Niang turned her head, groaned slightly, and continued the topic about Warat: "Your Highness, Warat is not only a small number of soldiers, but it is not ordered by one person, unlike the Ming Dynasty, all soldiers in the world have to obey the orders of the Son of Heaven." ”

"Not by one person?" Zhu Qiming was surprised: "I've heard people talk about the Taishi Warat Dehuan, shouldn't he be the supreme ruler of Warat?" ”

To be precise, Tuhuan is the actual ruler of Warat, and together with his son, he controls nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses. It is said that Tokhoff Buhua was born in the golden family and controlled nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses. ”

The highest status is only 50,000 soldiers and horses, while the second highest has 100,000 horses, how can you get along? Zhu Qiming was even more puzzled, "Could it be that he is a puppet?" ”

"Not really. The relationship between the Warat people is not very clear, oh, by the way, there is also a prefect in Warat, called Ara, they originally belonged to different tribes, and now the three tribes are together, and I don't know how they get along. ”

Hey, these three tribes work together in wartime, and they bring their own soldiers in peacetime, which is interesting! Zhu Qiming said angrily: "Sooner or later, one day, this seat will go north to meet them!" ”

Ni Niang Wan'er, "I heard that the Wara side is different from the northern border of my Ming Dynasty, every summer, at a glance is the boundless grassland, the head is the blue sky and white clouds, the ground is full of flowers, cattle and sheep herds, there is not the bitter cold place in people's mouths!" ”

Zhu Qiming couldn't help but yearn for it, his thoughts had already drifted to the grassland with the wind, but when he thought of those hateful Tartar faces, the poetry in his mind was replaced by swords and swords.

"However, His Royal Highness is a member of the royal family, and I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to go north in this life."

Zhu Qiming was like being poured a scoop of cold water on his head, and his mind suddenly returned to reality.

It's more practical to think about what to eat for lunch!

Zhu Qiming got up and walked towards the dining table, and Ni Niang immediately followed.

On the inside of the table, next to the wall of the cave, there were several jars of various sizes, the outer edges of which were covered with a layer of ash, which had obviously been placed here for a long time.

"What do you think, Your Highness, of those jars? That's where water, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea are filled. Yo, this meal was overnight, or would Ni Niang redo it for His Royal Highness? ”

Zhu Qiming shook his head, "I'm not hungry, let's wait for Xu Qianhu and them." Eh, Ni Niang, this is your temporary foothold on the way to Zhuolu Mountain, right? ”

Ni Niang smiled, neither admitting nor denying it.

Zhu Qiming realized that he had asked a sensitive question, so he immediately put aside the topic and returned to his seat.

Jiang Yi lifted the curtain and entered, he rolled up the hem of his robe, on which he held a carp more than two feet long and jumping around, and hurriedly ran towards the water tank.

Fish? Zhu Qiming couldn't react for a while, so he was stunned.

Ni Niang over there frowned, "I don't cherish this new clothes I just put on, is it worth it for a fish?" Can't you string it with grass? It's brain-dead! ”

With a bang, Jiang Yi put the fish into the water tank, "Hey, hey, it's alive." After finishing speaking, he ran out, and when he went out, he turned around and shouted: "Your Highness, there are many fish in the stream!" ”

"Ni Niang, let's go take a look."

Zhu Qiming called Ni Niang, lifted the curtain and walked out of the hole, and saw that the dark clouds in the sky were spreading, revealing a few gaps, and the rays of sunlight were shining through, indicating that a rainstorm that had been falling for several hours in a row had ended.

Descending a gravel slope and passing through a forest to the edge of the stream, the stream was extremely shallow, and there were many fish swimming or jumping in the water.

Niu San took off his robe, rolled his trouser legs, and pounced in the stream to catch fish, but unfortunately he was not born to be a cat, and he was busy for a long time, but when he saw the fish running, he just didn't get started.

Jiang Yi was so anxious on the shore that he scratched his ears and cheeks, "Stupid cow, you are on time!" ”

Niu San turned around and said disdainfully: "Why don't you try it?" Hmph, I can't drown you! ”

Zhu Qiming couldn't help but be dumbfounded. The stream can have no feet, and this can also drown people? Strange intimidation!

Ni Niang looked around, with a puzzled look, "Eh, it has been raining for a few hours, why doesn't this stream rise but fall?" ”

Zhu Qiming was stunned, and an inexplicable panic flashed through his mind, "Ni Niang, did the thieves really retreat?" ”

Ni Niang thought for a while, "Your Highness, the team of thieves must have retreated, and the entrance here is guarded by our people, so there should be no thieves approaching here." Unless······"

"Unless what?"

"Unless someone climbs over the mountain beam and goes around here, but the mountain is high and the cliff is steep, who is full of food and support to take that risk!"

Ni Niang's voice fell, and suddenly heard the sound of hooves, Zhu Qiming raised his eyes, only to see Xu Gong riding a horse, and shouted: "Your Highness, run, mountain torrent!" ”

Suddenly, behind Xu Gong, a raging wave swept in, with a terrible roar, and approached Xu Gong's mount at great speed.

Jiang Yi grabbed Zhu Qiming's arm and ran wildly towards the ramp, but when he looked up, he saw flames rising several feet high on the side of the cave, and he was afraid that the cave had been swallowed by flames.

After a little hesitation, the torrent came wildly, instantly submerging Zhu Qiming's lower body.

"I don't know how to water!"
