Chapter 90: Into the Wilderness
The news of Li Jin and others' high promotion was obtained from Yang Xiao, although the emperor has announced the holy decree of rewards and punishments for everyone in the court, but it will take some time to really implement it, and it needs to be drafted by Zhongshu Province, reviewed by Menxia Province, and implemented by Shangshu Province, and the procedure is very cumbersome.

On the other hand, Li Jin and the others were not in a hurry, as if they had taken a reassuring pill, and they traveled all day long, waiting for the emperor's holy decree to arrive.
After Su Yuyang heard the news from the court, his face was also bright and sunny all day.
From the moment Su Yiyang decided to follow Li Jin, he wanted to assist Li Jin to achieve a great cause, and this time the emperor's meritorious deeds and rewards completed the first step in his lofty plan.
overthrew Zhao Shuhe, Su Yuyang himself acted as the Taishou of Linzhou, although he was an agent, but according to his ability, even if the emperor wanted to appoint someone else to be the Taishou in the future, I am afraid it would not be so simple, even if he came to Linzhou, he could only be a puppet.
Linzhou is the southern gate of Dayan Kingdom, the entire state capital is surrounded by mountains, only one south and one north two valleys as exits, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a buffer zone with the barbarians in the south, the geographical location is very important, and this is also the reason why Su Yuyang told Li Jin to take Linzhou in his own hands.
The power parties in the capital are complicated, and in order to maintain the balance of party strength, the emperor is not easy to casually appoint such an important position to someone, Su Yuyang saw this, so he boldly asked Yang Xiao to recommend himself to act as the Taishou of Linzhou.
If you want to achieve a great cause, you must first have your own base, and there is no doubt that Linzhou is the best choice. Now that Linzhou is firmly in the hands of Li Jin and others, coupled with the energy behind Li Jin, I believe that as long as time passes, it will be able to make great progress.
Of course, these have always been Su Yuyang's brains, and the implementation is also done by the people below, and our eldest son Li naturally continues to be his shopkeeper.
In the past, there were some things in the county government for him to do, but since the imperial decree was issued, Li Jin directly threw all the trivial things in the county government to Liu Shiqing in advance, and said that it was a beautiful name, so that the family could exercise and adapt in advance, in case they were incompetent in the future.
Liu Shiqing became his stand-in in this way, and he himself took Zhao Jinbao, who had just returned from camp training, to wander around all day under the protection of Yu Hongxue and his guards, Liu Mengyin rushed back to Jiangcheng in a hurry because after the New Year, Jiangcheng had business to take care of. Without Miss Liu's supervision, this made Li Jin even more fearless.
One morning, Li Jin was about to go out for a walk after breakfast, when someone came in and reported that there was a person named Bai Yutang outside who asked to see him.
Bai Yutang?
Lao Tzu thought that he had lost his eyes, he broke his promise and didn't come back, but he didn't expect this person to be a man who made a promise.
When the next person led Bai Yutang in, there was a person behind him, it was Ling Xuozi, who had a few encounters last time.
The other two also brought a letter from the barbarian patriarch and invited him to the wilderness.
The patriarch's words were so sincere that it was hard to refuse.
Such a good thing, how could Li Jin refuse, now he can finally meet the master of the department who is lost to death, ha.
Before leaving, Chen Chuchuqian advised, Wan gave an order, let the green clothes follow, one is to supervise and the other is to protect himself, and in the end he was still not at ease, and he called Su Yuyang and explained it alone for a while.
After that, led by Bai Yutang and Ling Xuzi, Li Jin, Luyi, Yu Hongxue, Su Yuyang, Zhao Jinbao, and twenty guards set off in a mighty way and went deep into the wilderness.
Traveling dozens of miles to the south, when approaching the swamp, there were already many barbarian warriors guarding the way, prohibiting the passage of the living.
In the middle of the swamp, there is a trail that only allows one carriage to pass, which is not known to those who are not familiar with the terrain and roads.
There is a simple fortress built at one end of the trail, and there are dozens of stone throwers behind the fortress, and the strict defense is breathtaking.
After walking a few miles, it is the Qinglong ditch with steep terrain.
On either side of the ravine, there are improvised fortresses built on the hills, and there are piles of rocks and rolling logs, which are definitely enough to block the road.
The terrain was even more precipitous, like a mountain split in half by a huge axe, and a narrow passage in the middle stretched upward.
With such a treacherous terrain, only a hundred or so people can block a million troops, no wonder the emperors of the past dynasties have been defeated in the wilderness.
Through a line of heaven, it is the same steep nine curves and thirteen bends, nine simple fortresses, unless a master of the level of cold as smoke sneaks attack, otherwise, if you have an army of millions and forcibly attack, you will not be in this bending and whirling precipitous Jedi.
Climb to the top of the mountain and look out for a panoramic view of the entire barbarian habitat.
The rolling mountains surround a huge basin, and under the lush mountain forest, countless houses are neatly arranged and orderly, and countless large and small passages cross and lead in all directions.
With such a huge place of residence, it can be planned in such a neat and orderly manner, and the management ability of the patriarch of the old man is impressive.
Halfway down the mountain, I saw two teams of barbarian warriors armed with swords and guns standing on both sides of the road, and girls dressed in fancy clothes sang and danced to welcome the arrival of distinguished guests.
Bai Yutang, who had been following Li Jin's side, explained in a low voice that the masters of the thirty-six departments of the Barbarian Wilderness had come to greet him, and the specifications of the welcoming ceremony were much more grand than when the Barbarian King welcomed the visit of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Li Jin was the only one who could receive this ceremony.
Khan, so grand? This must be because of Tuoba Shaoling.
Li Jin couldn't help but flutter lightly all over his body, and his expression became more and more excited.
Thinking about it, I can see the Tuoba goblin who is lost to death again, and my heart is not only beating hard, but even the palm of my hand holding the reins is full of sweat.
When they went down to the bottom of the mountain, the thirty-six masters of the Barbarian Wilderness had already walked together, and the leader was the great patriarch Tuoba Jiahu.
The body of the tiger with the waist of the bear, the big fist of the bowl, the eyes of the tiger are blazing, and the momentum alone is shocking.
Mom, this is the legendary barbarian king, he looks so strong!
Li Jin shuddered and almost fell off his horse.
Fortunately, Bai Yutang was quick and helped him in time.
Khan, Lao Tzu is a guest...... I'm afraid of a ball, but I slept with someone's daughter......
Li Jin couldn't help but blush, and glanced at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang's expression was very strange, with an unknown expression.
The beautiful silhouette of the undulating mountains is simply born from the aura of heaven and earth. Although the barbarian men are all black and simple, they are as simple as cows, but the girls are very smart.
Among the barbarian officials who greeted Li Jin, there was a female official, Yurong did not apply a little powder, but she was as bright as the rising sun in the morning glow. The skin is as clear as jade, and the refreshing temperament is fascinating.
She is dressed in a short undergarment embroidered with gold wire embroidered floral patterns, a pleated gown that touches the ground underneath, her hair is pulled high, and the willows are swaying in the wind, which sets off her beautiful body with a slender waist and plump buttocks and a touching style in her bones.
Damn, such a peerless stunner, absolutely fascinated by all men in the world!
Mom, if this little girl is not married, Lao Tzu must taste the taste of a barbarian mature woman, quack......
"Welcome."
A smile appeared on the scary face of the future father-in-law, and he greeted warmly.
There are barbarian beautiful maidens offering a wreath symbolizing purity and wearing it around Li Jin's neck, and all those who enter the wilderness wear a colorful and beautiful wreath around their necks, but Li Jin has one more flower wreath than others, which also shows that his identity is different.
In addition to the old man, there was also the female head who looked unusually bewitching, and the other thirty-five tall and strong male heads came up one after another and took turns to hug him.
Mom, if there are a few more male leaders, Lao Tzu will have to give them a powerful bear hug until his waist bone is broken......
Li Jin twisted his body that was about to be broken by the male masters, and his eyes slipped to the female masters.
The male owner is a bear hug, is the female owner also coming to a fragrant and exciting hug?
The female head of the department who was obsessed with death seemed to see through the dirty thoughts in his heart, and her pretty face became more and more red, and she rolled her seductive eyes and glared at him fiercely.
"The slave family has seen Li Gongzi."
Shen Yi's voice is soft enough, so soft that it makes people think about it, evil thoughts breed, and the voice of the female head of the department, sweat, I really don't know how to describe it.
To use a very vulgar analogy, Shen Yi's soft voice is like swallowing a pill of Viagra, which makes people think about it and breed evil thoughts.
And the female master's voice is like swallowing a whole box of Viagra, which makes people want to be bloody, and they may lose their minds at any time and be shot on the spot......
If you can have a spring breeze with her, it is worth dying on her belly, what is it called a peony flower to die, and it is also romantic to be a ghost?
This wise quote is completely written for this female master who is obsessed with death!
Feeling stripped of her dress by Li Jin's naked gaze XXOO, the female minister's smooth and pretty face flushed with a touch of shame.
At this moment, the big tent under Li Jin has been propped up high, and the upper nose is itchy, as if it is about to spurt blood, and his standing posture is bowed up and up, which is very strange.
"Wow ......"
The female minister covered her mouth and smiled, and her pretty face became more and more red and moving.
The beauty smiled, the sun and the moon were discolored, and Li Jin looked even more depressed, if it weren't for the green clothes beside him who stepped on him, he was afraid that he would be ugly on the spot.
Khan, don't be afraid that I'm so obsessed, this female head is really too fascinated, if a man with a normal body doesn't react, then there is definitely a problem.
In front of the public, she couldn't lose her courtesy, although the female head didn't hug Li Jinxiong, she still bowed.
Khan, there is no fragrant and stimulating incense hug......
Li Jin had a disappointed look on his face.
The unusually bewitching female head chuckled again, and flew him with a swaying wink, which made Li Jin's heart flutter.
This female head is really a stunner who seduces people's souls and wants people's lives, wearing a robe, it is difficult to hide the exaggerated curves.
Only when I looked closely, I found that it was another D-cup boba!
happened to see the old man's sword eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face, Li Jin was shocked in his heart and secretly exclaimed his gaffe.
If you look like such a confused pig brother again, I am afraid that the future old man will be angry and turn his face and deny people, it will be miserable......
Take a sharp breath at the moment, silently use the silent word, try to eliminate the evil thoughts, and then straighten your chest, mobilize your facial muscles, and turn yourself into a personable and righteous gentleman.
Looking around, he noticed that many people looked at him strangely, which made him very uncomfortable.
It seemed that all the young barbarian men looked at him with a gaze full of hostility, and some even had murderous intent.
The eyes of those old barbarians were full of envy, curiosity, admiration, and ambiguity.
In short, everyone's eyes were focused on him and examining him, so weird that it made him uncomfortable.
Holy, what the hell is going on?
Because Tuoba Shaoling didn't see a figure, Li Jin instinctively looked at Bai Yutang.
This guy has been in the wilderness for nearly a year in order to soak Tuoba Shaoling, so he knows some things, right?
An ambiguous smile appeared on Bai Yutang's face, and he shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, indicating that he could not do anything.
XX Your mother's!
Li Jin cursed in his heart, glanced at the green clothes, puffed out his chest, pretended to be indifferent, and followed the masters of the 36th Wild Department to move forward slowly.
The girl leading the way in front of her is dressed in colorful dance costumes and wearing flower crowns, singing and dancing to the melodious music.
At the two stations of the avenue, there are rows of barbarian warriors with tall cattle and horses, the knives and axes in their hands are beating the iron shield, and the tail of the gun is tapping on the ground.
The palace of the barbarians is not as grand and tall as the palaces seen in movies and TV series, with brilliant golden walls and very simple appearances.
The decorations in the palace are also very simple, but the decorations are lined with rows of low tables, and the low tables are full of all kinds of delicious dishes that tempt the appetite, obviously to entertain Li Jin, a distinguished guest, so flamboyant and luxurious.
As the most powerful person in the barbarians, Tuoba Jiahu is the first alone, and on the left is the head of the tribes sitting in order, and the female head of the tribe who has a seductive figure is in the third, and it seems that the status is also very high.
Li Jin and the others sat on the right, with green clothes next to him, followed by Bai Yutang, Su Yiyang, Zhao Jinbao, Yu Hongxue, and the twenty guards were not allowed to enter the palace, but they also had other treats.
Girls dressed in colorful dance costumes sing and dance in the middle, and tall and strong warriors perform sword dances.
In addition to some official-style polite words, Tuoba Jiahu frequently raised his glass to toast, and more than 20 glasses were down, and the future father-in-law was not red or panting, as if he hadn't drunk.
Li Jin was taken aback, knowing that the barbarians drank a lot, but he didn't expect the amount of alcohol to be so powerful, if he continued like this, he would have to drink under the table sooner or later.
The female head of the department with a fiery figure also drank an amazing amount of alcohol, and drank in a big bowl, which was not lost to the tall men sitting next to her.
Her watery peach blossom eyes glanced over from time to time, with indescribable ambiguous feelings, which made Li Jin's heart beat wildly for no reason.
Damn, you can't try to seduce Lao Tzu, right?
Well, this woman's appearance and figure are quite good, and if possible, it's not bad to occasionally hunt wild food to change the taste, hehe.
Look at the water and wine in your own cup, everyone has at least 20 glasses, and you are the third glass, and you can't even drink the wine, which is really embarrassing......
Li Jin's eyes searched for Tuoba Shaoling's figure in the crowd, she was equivalent to the identity of a princess, and she loved to join in the fun, why didn't she participate in such a grand and lively feast?
Bai Yutang and Green Yi whispered something, and then, Green Yi turned his head sideways and whispered Bai Yutang's meaning.
One of the customs of the barbarian tribe is that after the woman has determined the person she likes, she cannot see each other again until the marriage date is determined.
I see...... Li Jin suddenly realized that the purpose of this trip was for the father-in-law to test his son-in-law, and if he was satisfied, he would determine the marriage date.
After having fun, Tuoba Jiahu asked the guests to withdraw from the banquet on the grounds that the guests were tired from long distances and needed to rest, and Li Jin and the others were arranged to live in a palace specially designed to entertain guests.
I don't know if it's because of the wine, or if the female head always flashes in his mind, Li Jin can't sleep after tossing and turning.
Green Yi was harassed by him and saved him, so he simply ran outside to sleep alone.
Chen Chuchu and they couldn't resist the death and life of many to one when they were there, and when they faced Xianggong alone, wouldn't they want her little life?
It's not that she doesn't want to, but she's the only one, she can't bear it, and she travels a long way, and people are a little tired, and she would rather not enjoy the grace of Xianggong.
I really couldn't sleep, Li Jin had to sit on the soft big bed in a daze, it was really boring, so he could only forcibly suppress his desires, close his eyes and practice, and enter the realm of selflessness.
When he finished his work and opened his eyes, it was already dawn, and the green-clothed attendant was waiting for him to wash and dress.
After a delicious breakfast, Tuoba Jiahu and other ministers took him on a tour and introduced some customs and customs.
There are very few fertile fields that can be cultivated and crops can be cultivated, most of them are only suitable for growing corn, yams, etc., and the necessities of life such as grain, salt, and cloth are still purchased from outside, and life is still quite hard.
Including Tuoba Jiahu, all the subordinates are spitting out bitterness, shouting poverty vigorously, and it is obvious that if they want to marry Princess Tuoba Shaoling, I am afraid that they will have to spend some money.
The old man opened his mouth widely, this is also normal, it is inevitable to break the cost, but he can't supply the necessities of life such as food, salt, and cloth for free, at most, the two sides can only cooperate in the transaction, and he just gives the best price.
The daily necessities of nearly a million people, even if they have a lot of money, and the rich can not afford it, so a fool will accept such conditions.
Cooperative transaction, the best price, this proposal, no one opposes the thirty-six heads of the barbarian tribe, this is also the bottom line of Li Jin's concession, beyond the bottom line is not to talk.
Next, there is the problem of guns, Tuoba Jiahu opened his mouth to ask for 100,000 long guns and 50,000 short guns.
Damn, no matter how big the lion's blood basin is, there must be a score......
Li Jin's face tightened, and he said coldly: "Fellow masters, if I had this ability, I would have swept the entire continent a long time ago, and I would be honored by the United States!" ”
Tuoba Kahu giggled, "Unai is honorable? Be ambitious! Young people should have ideals and ambitions, make meritorious contributions, and go down in history! ”
X your mother, no, X your daughter is enough!
Li Jin cursed in his heart: Dare to love him, do he really want Lao Tzu to be respected?
