In the days that followed, Zhong Jin barely showed up again, and when he saw it by chance, he also looked preoccupied, "It seems that he is still digesting the silent "words". Shen Mo didn't pay attention to her, the truth was explained by herself, whether she could understand it or not depended on her own ability.

From Yulin to Yijin Horo, there is only less than eight days of travel, and in the blink of an eye, it is the seventh day.

The day had already entered the grass set, and the team was going to rest at the military station halfway through, and then go to Genghis Khan's Mausoleum the next day. However, because of a sudden heavy rain, the march slowed down, and as a result, it was dark and did not reach the destination, so he had to camp in the wilderness.

But fortunately, the rain stopped, so you don't have to get drenched, and you can still make a fire to keep warm, so there's really nothing to complain about...... It's just that it is indeed a little troublesome to make a fire after the rain, and when the guards have raised the fire and cooked dinner, it is already dark.

Shen Mo just likes this kind of curtain on the ground, the tone of the campfire dinner, smelling the fresh air after the rain, he has a rare appetite, and he eats two beef buns" and drank a bowl of hot spicy soup, and finally satisfied. At this time, he realized that Zhong Jin, who eats so fast on weekdays, didn't eat or drink, but just held the bowl there in a daze, so he asked, "Why don't you eat?" ”

"I can't eat ......," Zhong Jin put down the bowl and said in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Shen Mo asked, "Is it convenient to say it?" ”

"I'm thinking about what the master said that day", Zhong Jin said quietly, "Isn't there a way for our two clans to live in peace?" ”

"Did you figure it out?" Shen Mo took a cup of tea and asked with a smile.

"In fact, the mutual market is a good way" Zhong Jin looked at Shen Mo and said: "To tell the truth, today's Mongolia no longer has the courage and ability to enter the Central Plains" The purpose of our war is to figure out tribute. The materials on the grassland are too scarce, for example, it is about to be summer, "our felt fur is not hot in summer", so we need the satin cloth of the Ming Dynasty to sew summer clothes: and "we can't smelt iron", even the cooking pot can not be produced, and if the raw pot is destroyed, it will be used to make up for the leakage. It is not uncommon for families to borrow pots from each other to cook food. And many poor families have no choice but to eat boiled meat in the skin, which is really very difficult. ”

"From Dayan Khan, to my grandfather, to Altan Khan now, for fifty or sixty years, we have asked the imperial court for tribute. I have read Altan Khan's letter to the imperial court, and it is sincere...... said that when my great-ancestor "paid tribute in the first dynasty, and Xu Shiyi, Han and Mongolia benefited." Nearly to pay tribute, life is difficult, will be plundered every year. As long as the imperial court allows us to pay tribute, we will restrain our subordinates, and make the border people reclaim the fields and "be outside the crowd and horses, and never offend each other", when drinking blood as an oath......, "why don't you pay tribute?" Isn't there no war if you pay tribute? ”

"Hehe" Shen Mo handed the teacup to the guard, and said with a slight mockery, "The version I see may not be the same as yours." In my memory, there is still one sentence missing: "No, that is, to migrate to the north" and ride south, "This is like saying that someone rushes to your house and says: "Marry your daughter to me, or I will kill you", which is a naked threat. Although my Ming Dynasty is rich and strong, it can't compare to the two Song Dynasty, "martial arts can't match the Han and Tang Dynasties, but there is a backbone" You see who dares to agree, you have to be nailed to the pillar of shame!" ”

"Is it just for the sake of fame that the two tribes have been killed so far?" Zhong Jin could not understand the insistence of the Han Chinese.

"Of course, it's not just a name!" Under the reflection of the firelight, the silent face looked angular: "In fact, in the 30th year of Jiajing, we reached an agreement with Alta to open a horse market, but I did not follow the promise to restrain the subordinates" After the opening of the horse market, the Mongolian ministries entered the army as usual. Moreover, in the horse market, we buy and sell "every time we bring a few sick horses" in exchange for our bulk goods, and "once our people have objections", they directly start to rob, or even kill people and destroy the market, so how can the horse market continue? ”

"Trade must be based on the equality of both sides, otherwise, the stronger side will take easier ways to obtain the materials it needs, and there will be no trade." After a pause, he sighed softly: "Actually, people of insight in the court do not know that the Tonggong exchange market is the only way to solve the border troubles in the north" so that the two ethnic groups can live in peace. However, only when victory is achieved on the battlefield can we talk about Tonggong, otherwise we will repeat the farce of Jiajing's 30 years of opening and closing each other. ”

"If you win," Jong Kim questioned, "how can you guarantee that you won't bully us?" ”

"I'm promised." Shen Mo said lightly: "I am less than thirty-five this year, and there are still thirty-five years before Zhishi, as long as I am in office for one day" will ensure that the mutual market will continue fairly. ”

This is simply a cheat, how can there be such an algorithm, but Zhong Jin did not question it, but stared at him for a long time before nodding and saying, "I hope the master will not lie to me." ”

"No, it won't." Shen Mo smiled slightly and said, "What else do you have to say to me?" ”

"......" Zhong Jin thought for a moment and shook his head silently.

A hint of disappointment flashed in his silent eyes, "Didn't say anything."

一一"

After sitting outside for a while, he silently returned to his tent, and there was Lu Gang dressed in black waiting inside.

For this uninvited guest, Shen Mo was not surprised, obviously knowing that he would be here. Patting him on the shoulder, he asked in a low voice, "How's it going?" ”

"Very unexpected." Lu Gang said in a low voice: "We have ruled out three, but we dare not say that we have found all of them." After a pause, he said, "I suggest that tomorrow's worship should be canceled." ”

"......" silently groaned, shook his head and said: "No, I worship Genghis Khan on behalf of the imperial court this time" is a good opportunity for those Mongolian leaders Dewei, if it is canceled, wouldn't it be counterproductive? ”

"However, those White Lotus Sect disciples are too crazy." Lu Gang said worriedly: "Uncle, do you know, they actually buried two thousand catties of explosives under the altar, this is what we discovered, and there may not be any ruthless tricks that we haven't discovered." ”

"It's your problem." Silent waved his hand" to stop him from continuing and said, "I am late for half a day on the grounds of rain, just for you to solve the problem." You have to "get rid of all the hidden dangers" before I arrive! ”

"That," Lu Gang's face changed for a moment, and Fang said in a sullen voice: "Your Excellency has to promise something!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Hand over the woman outside to me" The nephew must pry her mouth open! A hint of fierceness flashed in Lu Gang's eyes and said, "She is Xiao Qin's student, and she immediately set off to come to our side shortly after the last two meetings, so we firmly believe that she must know about Xiao Qin's plan, and it is likely to be a core participant." ”

"......" nodded silently and did not refute Lu Gang.

Seeing him nodding, Lu Gang was about to go out and order someone to be taken, but was stopped by Shen Mo and said: "This woman has a strong temperament, and she wants to pry her mouth open" It is unlikely that she will ......" Shen Mo sighed and said slowly: "Wait a little longer." "When?" For Lu Gang, every second is very precious now.

"......," said in a deep voice.

After Lu Gang stepped back, he sat silently on the back chair in the tent, his eyes slightly closed, and the expression on his face was a little heavy......

I don't know how long he sat there, but Shen Mo was awakened by the sound of a mournful and self-hurting Qiang flute, which set off the silence of the night and deeply infected his emotions. Shen Mo took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was already half past ten...... In this era of sunrise and sunrise, this is already late at night in the absolute sense.

He stood up on the back of his chair, relieved his sore body, and walked out of the tent, pacing slowly to the sound "by his own campfire" to see the bell playing with his eyes closed. The moonlight sprinkled on her body, this girl who is usually spicy and resolute, but at the moment she looks quiet, as if she has changed someone.

He stood there silently and waited until Zhong Jin finished playing a song before walking over.

"Master" heard a voice, Zhong Jin raised his head, and when he saw that it was silent, he was about to get up.

"Sit down." Shen Mo sat down on the hot sheepskin blanket and asked, "Why don't you sleep yet?" ”

"Can't sleep......" Jong Kim whispered.

"Still worried about those things?" Shen Mo smiled and said, "This is not a problem you can solve, it's better to go to bed early." ”

"No," Jong Kim shook his head and whispered, "I'm thinking about myself." ”

"Oh" hehe......", he is silent and doesn't give anything, he is the master, not the master.

"Master", but Zhong Jin took the initiative to ask: "Have you ever had someone you like?" ”

"Why do you ask this......", Shen Mo coughed a little embarrassedly.

Seeing the master in his mind, showing this expression, Zhong Jin was very amused: "Is it not?" However, an old-fashioned person like the master "must follow the rules, the orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and only when they become relatives do they know what the master looks like" is really sad,...

"You're still saying something wrong", Shen Mo said with a smile: "In my life", I rarely do things that are out of line, but there are two or three things, all of which are related to your teacher. ”

"Tell me about it." Zhong Jin said with great interest.

"I don't want it." Silence was a little ashamed to speak.

"Halfway through talking, you want to suffocate people to death." Jong Kim doesn't follow the way.

"That's a long story short." Silent said: "There are three things: one is when I was young, I climbed into a woman's boat from the water and saw a beautiful girl like a painting: one was when I finished the exam and returned to my hometown, I happened to be in the same boat with the girl, and I met a widow, and I jumped into the water with her: one is that my father-in-law did not agree to this family business, so I changed my name and went to her house, got her father done, and finally hugged the beauty. ”

"I can't think of it," Zhong Jin muttered...... "Master also has such frivolous times. ”

"Who hasn't been young and frivolous?" Silence is also immersed in his own memories.

"Shi Niang is really happy to make people jealous......" Zhong Jin looked at Shen Mo and said.

"No............" Shen Mo shook his head a little bitterly: "She is very bitter in her heart, I don't only have a concubine" When I was young, I was still outside, and more importantly, "I snubbed her." ”

"That's for your country" Seeing the sadness on his face, Zhong Jin felt very unbearable, and comforted softly: "A woman can endure a long wait, as long as she feels the ground to yours, her heart is ......"

"Waiting is a kind of torture, but I let her suffer repeatedly" Shen Mo sighed deeply: "In my life, I owe her a lot." ”

"If Shi Niang hears this", Zhong Jin's eyes splashed with tears, and said, "She will definitely be moved to cry." ”

"You cried first." Shen joked.

"Because I was also moved...... "Zhong Jin wanted to wipe away his tears", who knew that the more he wiped, the more tears he shed, and after all, he cried so much that it rained. Even a fool can see that she is not just moved.

Shen Mo was a little at a loss, and when he raised his head, he saw that Lu Gang had already led people to stand not far away, he shook his head slightly, and motioned for them not to come over yet.

One "one" one "one one one" one "one " one "one " Zhong Jin finally stopped his tears, looked at Shen Mo with red and swollen eyes and said, "Master, promise me one thing, okay?" ”

"What's the matter?" Silence sank.

"Don't go to worship the Holy Ancestor tomorrow." Zhong Jin seemed to have made up his mind, and said calmly: "Because my other master wants to kill you." ”

"......", there was silence for a moment, and Fang said slowly: "Why do you want to tell me?" ”

"Because ......", Zhong Jin bit his lower lip tightly, and said with a crimson face: "You don't die", "Since you told me, I have to ask, how do you know ......", Shen sighed softly.

"If the master doesn't ask, others will ask", Zhong Jin suddenly burst into tears and smiled, his smile was like a mountain: "Instead of being forced to confess by them, it is better to explain to the master." Then he told Shen Mo everything he knew, as if pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

"It's a capital offense." Shen Mo looked at her and said, "You can still laugh." ”

"If the master wants to kill me", Zhong Jin said in one sentence: "You won't waste time teaching me." He smiled proudly: "In the final analysis, the master loves me, how can he be willing to kill me?" ”

"That's what I don't know you're up to." Shen Mo said viciously: "Now that I know, I should kill or kill." ”

"Master, don't scare me", Zhong Jin unceremoniously debunked him and said, "Don't look at whose apprentice I am." ”

"you." Shen Mo laughed and scolded, this student is too smart, and the means of bluffing are useless: "It's not for your father's sake, I don't care what you do." ”

"In order to repay the master's grace of not killing" Zhong Jin's eyes suddenly became hot, "She knows that if she doesn't say something tonight, she may never have the courage to say it: "Let me make a promise......"

"Ahem" silent embarrassment: "What nonsense" Do you know what it means to make a personal promise? ”

"It's the woman who is the master" Zhong Jin approached Shen Mo, and Shen Mo retreated again and again. The guards had the duty to protect the adults, so their eyes widened and stared at this fragrant scene.

"I'm a family man." Silent and trembling.

"I won't go to the capital, and then make my master sad, I will be the master's grassland lover............" Zhong Jinyu was not shocking and died.

"Ho ho ......" Shen Mo's throat was dry for a while, and he stood up with a roll, and dropped a sentence: "It's so late, go back to sleep" and I have to hurry tomorrow. And he fled. ~！
