After having lunch in the peach blossom building, Li Qing set off on his return journey, walked out of a journey, and when he looked back, Ji Yue was still standing at the door of the peach blossom building, looking at it obsessively, the wind raised the cloak, the snowflakes rolled around, and the thin figure was extremely petite, and she couldn't help but feel a slight pain in her heart, and waved her hand to signal her to hurry back.

"Dashuai, it's been a long time since I've seen you so relaxed?" Tang Hu rode his horse to Li Qing's side and said with a smile.

Nodding, Li Qing smiled: "Yes, in front of Ji Yue, I seem to have returned to my innocent childhood, unrestrained, free, I only feel that between heaven and earth, nothing can bother me, this feeling has not been for a long time." ”

"Well, Miss Ji Yue is really cute." Tang Hu nodded in agreement, "Two people who are completely different from Director Qingfeng, Director Qingfeng is so powerful, and Miss Jiyue is very gentle. Tang Hu expressed his feelings about the two sisters in his own care, and didn't notice that Li Qing's face sank, until a personal guard behind him couldn't stand it, and secretly stabbed Tang Hu's war horse with the tip of his saber.

Although Tang Hu has no eyesight and no scheming, this is true, the current Qingfeng makes Li Qing feel very pressured, sometimes Li Qing can't even figure out whether Qingfeng is his own woman or his comrade-in-arms, subordinates, only in some time when the two are alone, Qingfeng will reveal the original daughter's surname, and that shyness and gentleness can remind Li Qing of the original joy and ease. More often, Qingfeng is more like a sharp blade out of the sheath, with a cold light, and a vigilant gaze looks at everyone except Li Qing, which makes Li Qing regret that he handed over the Statistical Survey Department to Qingfeng to operate, but at that time, he never thought that Qingfeng could make the Statistical Survey Division to the current scale, if Qingfeng is taken down now, then the Statistical Survey Department that has just shown the power of intelligence collection, rebellion, and some special operations is bound to be greatly damaged, which makes Li Qing at this stage absolutely unbearable, It is also unbearable for the Dingzhou power group that has just shown signs of rising, so even if Shang Haibo is so vigilant and vigilant against Qingfeng, and constantly restricts Qingfeng's expansion momentum within Dingzhou, he has never mentioned the idea of replacing Qingfeng to himself, because everyone knows that a strong Qingfeng is a double-edged sword, powerful internally and even more terrifying externally.

Maybe when he reaches a certain height, let Qingfeng obediently go home and be a little woman, Li Qing thought, but when the time comes, will Qingfeng be willing? Li Qing let this question lie in the deepest part of his heart, unwilling to touch him easily.

A group of Pegasus rushed back to Dingzhou City, and it was about to be the New Year, and the atmosphere of the New Year had begun in the city, and there were obviously more vendors, compared with previous years, Dingzhou City, which was not threatened by barbarians, became more prosperous.

"Let's have a happy New Year first!" Li Qing said loudly, "Huzi, let's go home!" ”

The people of Dingzhou are preparing for an unprecedentedly safe and wealthy year, but on the grassland, the upcoming Mulan Festival looks weird.

The barbarian Mulan Festival is like the year of Da Chu, it is an annual grand festival, every year on this day, all the grassland people will put down their work, and celebrate, all kinds of activities are also concentrated in the days before and after the Mulan Festival, but this year, the atmosphere on the grassland is extremely strange, all the tribes have no intention of the festival, but are nervously concentrated tribal arms, pillow and waiting, good tribal messengers come and go, the heads of the various departments frequently gather, there is only one topic to discuss, That was the proposal of the unification of the steppe into an empire, advocated by the Bai.

The power of the Bai tribe is above all the tribes of the grassland, and any army can roar the grassland and sweep other tribes, and the proposal of the Bai tribe is simply to tell everyone that Bayar is going to be the emperor.

Small tribes are indispensable, anyway, they are always dependent on the big tribes for survival, and the larger tribes certainly do not want the originally loose alliance to become a centralized empire, so that they will lose a large part of the privileges in their hands, and more importantly, after the establishment of the empire, they can still hold the military power of the tribe, and this is what these tribal leaders regard as the lifeblood. On the grassland, strength is king, when a tribal leader has no army, then what can he leave, once there is any trouble, I am afraid that it will be the end of death.

Haningqi, the leader of the Qingbu, and Dai Shan, the leader of the Red Ministry, both have gloomy faces, Haningqi is the most powerful person to threaten Bayar, but unfortunately, under the successive blows of Dingzhou, the Qingbu has been hit hard, and the elite of the tribe has gone to four or five, at this time, he has no idea of replacing Bayar, thinking more about how to protect himself, although the Qingbu has suffered great losses, but on the grassland, it is still the tribe second only to the Bai tribe, Haning himself knows that he must be Bayar's eye thorn, a thorn in the flesh, Even now that he has succumbed to his feet, Bayar will not be reassured. The Steppe Empire was established, and one day in the future, he would become the first person to be sacrificed by Bayar to maintain his Bai rule.

Now Haninqi finally understands why Bayar actually handed over the power to lead the grassland attack on Dingzhou when he failed and the strength of the Bai people was not fundamentally hit, he just wanted to borrow Dingzhou's hand to kill his strength, no matter whether he won or lost, he was happy to see it.

I can't imagine that Bayar is so sure that he is not Li Qing's opponent, if he wins, presumably Bayar will not mention the issue of the Grassland Empire now, Haningqi smiled bitterly, now he understands what is the use, the general trend is gone. Maybe staying away is the best way to save your life.

Dai Shan is also a member of the opposition to the founding of the country, Yi'an battle, the elite of the red department was defeated, and the small tribe attached to him was beaten to pieces, not one out of ten, now he has only the United Youth Department, borrowing the banner of the Green Department to oppose the founding of the grassland, the five departments of the grassland, the yellow department is a firm ally of the white department, and the blue department Suge is swaying, sitting firmly in the position of the grass on the wall, and now he only has to say that the green department carries the tripod, and then unites the blue department, so as to have the strength to compete with the white and yellow departments.

"Haninzi, you don't want to think about it, all along, you have been against Bayar, to put it mildly, you are the thorn in Bayar's side, if you really let Bayar sit in this position, I will surrender, and I will be indispensable to the position of a prince, but what about you, I am only afraid that the day is precarious, and now the plan is only for us to unite, and then to move the blue department to be submissive, it is great that we will make some compensation to the blue department, allocate him more fertile pasture, send him more slaves, gold and silver treasures, as long as we unify the caliber, what can Bayar do, Five to three, even if he forcibly sits on the emperor's seat, what's the point? Dai Shan looked at the hesitant Haninqi and persuaded bitterly.

Haninqi nodded and said: "Okay, Brother Daishan, if we want to protect our family business and let our descendants be prosperous, then we can't let Bayar succeed, you go to contact Brother Sushun, and say that I gave him the Glenwin pasture he has always wanted." ”

Dai Shan was overjoyed, "Okay, Haningqi, with your words, I promise that Su Shun will agree without a word." I immediately sent someone to contact Su Shun. He turned around and went out happily.

Looking at Dai Shan's departing back, a hint of anger flashed in Haninqi's eyes, "I'm sorry, Brother Dai Shan, the dead friend is not a poor man, don't blame me!" ”

Badama Nyingbu, Haningqi's son, was shocked, "Father, aren't we going to unite with Uncle Daishan and Uncle Sushun to oppose Da Shan Yu, what are you?" ”

Haninqi closed his eyes, a look of pain flashed on his face, and said: "Son, Dai Shan hasn't seen the form clearly, Bayar has become a big trend, his father has taken his evil deeds, Qingbu has no strength to compete with him, if he hits hard, he will only be swallowed by Bayar with a belt, for my father to keep a little seed of revival for Qingbu, I will immediately set off to see Da Shan Yu, surrender to him, and take the initiative to ask Sakura to go to the defense room of Green Ridge Pass, we only have to go to that place of poor mountains and bad waters, Bayar may let go of his father, It also makes him no longer worry that I have different intentions, son, the revival of Qingbe can only be pinned on you, or your son. Two lines of cloudy tears ran down Haninzi's cheeks.

Badamanbu's face changed drastically, "Father, that generation of good uncles? ”

Haning Qi said fiercely: "Bayar dominates the grassland, and he always has to find someone to establish his supreme authority, this person is either me or Dai Shan, what do you say I should do?" ”

"Father, will Da Shan Yu agree to let us go to Green Ridge Pass?" Badamanbu was a little worried.

"Yes, yes, after Huhe's wolf army comes back, it is Huang Boyan who guards the Zhuling Pass, Boyan is Bayar's in-law, his hardcore ally, after Bayar dominates the grassland, he will definitely launch an attack on Dingzhou, transfer me at this time, and transfer back to Boyan, for Bayar, it will be more effective to concentrate forces to realize his ambitions, so, he will definitely agree."

"Father, if we betray the Red Ministry, we will be scolded by the prairie people." Badamanbu said with some pain.

Haninqi smiled and said: "Son, you have to remember that you are a person who wants to become a tribal leader, so betrayal and alliance are simply commonplace for a tribal leader, as long as you do one thing, that is, for the sake of the entire tribe of the Qingbu, then you are the hero of the Qingbu, and the excellent leader of the Qingbu." The scolding is only for a while, and after a long time, everyone will only see your glory, and the transactions and sordid hidden under the glory will never come to the surface. ”

"I see, father!" Badamanbu nodded.
