Chapter 239: The Jurchens are coming
The so-called shaved off part of the head on the top of the head, and then the heads on both sides, forehead, back of the head and other places are braided into various shapes, the stump has always been the symbol of the northern ethnic minorities, whether it is a nomadic or a fishing and hunting people, most of them have the habit of stalking, the most famous of which is the Khitan, but in addition to the Khitans, the Jurchen, Xi people, Mongolia and other ethnic groups of the Liao State also have the habit of the Khitan.
Because the living habits and living areas of various ethnic groups are different, the sirls of various ethnic groups are also different, such as the Khitan people's sheaths are diverse, including door type, circle type, double snake type and so on.
In contrast, the Jurchens of another major clan in the Liao State are a little monotonous in terms of style, generally speaking, they shave off most of the heads in front, and the back half of the head is mainly left, and most of them are braided, since Wanyan Wugunai became the leader of the Wanyan Department, it is uniformly stipulated that all the men of the Wanyan Department only have a braid on the back of their heads, that is to say, the group of people in this mountain forest not far from Zhao Yan and them is the Jurchens of the Wanyan * no * fault * department.
"Impeachment, did you say that something really happened to them?". A strong man with big teeth in the Jurchen team asked the Jurchen in a loud voice.
"I don't know, Po Thorn Shu is the envoy we sent to Liao, so it should not be in danger, but the Hai Dongqing he brought with him yesterday suddenly flew back, and there was blood on his feathers, so I guess he probably had an accident." The Jurchen named Impeachment Libo replied in a deep voice, and Impeachment Libo looked to be about thirty years old. He is short and stout, with a round face and a flat nose, long narrow eyes that shine, very thick arms, and a long bow behind his back, which looks very strong.
"Could it be that Hai Dongqing encountered some raptor when he flew back, so he got the blood?" The strong man with big teeth guessed again.
"No, I've already seen it, that blood is human blood, and Hai Dongqing is quite thorny and used to deliver news. But this time, Hai Dongqing did not bring back any news. This is definitely not normal, so we had better go to Liao Guo to inquire about the situation, after all, Po Thorn Shu is our brother, if something happens to him. Our Wanyan Department definitely wants to let Liao Guo give an explanation! "Impeachment is at the end. There was also a fierce look on his face. It looks like a hungry wolf.
"If you want me to say that we can't be too polite to the Liao State, those Khitans have always taken pleasure in bullying our Jurchens, the more we tolerate it. The more arrogant those Liao people are, so we might as well directly raise troops and teach them a hard lesson! Da Banya also showed a murderous expression at this time, and his words were also applauded by other people, because they have been oppressed by the Khitans all the year round, so almost all the Jurchens hate the Khitans.
However, the impeachment bowl shook his head very calmly and said: "Big brother, you think too simply, although our Wanyan Department has been expanding, there are only two or three thousand soldiers who can be mobilized, and this amount of strength is like the difference between the stars and the sun for the huge Liao State, so what we need to do now is to accumulate strength, not to collide with the Liao State!" ”
"But if we don't have a hard encounter with Liao, how can we get them to give us an explanation?" As the elder brother of the impeachment bowl, although the big plate is impulsive, he is not a stupid person, but there is a gap between him and his younger brother.
"Hehe, the Liao Kingdom needs the goods from our Jurchen side, such as Haidongqing, fur, etc., all of them need to be passed from our Wanyan Department, and as long as we secretly block this passage, we will naturally let the Liao Kingdom give us a satisfactory explanation!" Impeachment Li Bo said with a sneer, his identity is not simple, but the new leader of the Wanyan Ministry, and he is also the festival envoy of the Liao State, of course, this official position is just a false title, except for a set of official uniforms and official seals of the Liao State, he usually does not even have a fortune.
"I see, it's still impeachment, your brain is spinning fast, no wonder your father passed on the position to you in the first place!" Da Panya also said with a sudden face when he heard this, he is the eldest brother of the impeachment bowl, his name is the impeacher, but because his personality is too impulsive, his brain is not as good as the impeachment bowl, so he has no inheritance position, but he has no complaints about this, but loyally helps his younger brother, from which it can be seen that he is not a person with a small belly.
These Jurchens talked while walking, because they lived in the mountains and forests all the year round, so they advanced very quickly, and depending on the direction they were heading, if they didn't change halfway, they would probably pass by Zhao Yan and the place where they camped, but Zhao Yan and they didn't know anything about it.
"Hurry ~ Catch it, it's right behind you!" Yelusi stood on the shore and pointed at Zhao Yan's back and shouted, but Zhao Yan suddenly turned around, saw a fish behind him and grabbed it fiercely, but this time he finally grabbed the tail of the fish, but the arm-long fish kept struggling, and Zhao Yan couldn't catch it, so he had to throw the fish to the shore hard, and then Yelusi ran over and held down the live fish, which subdued it.
"Phew, I've finally caught a fish!" Zhao Yan also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and at the same time wiped the sweat on his face with the back of his hand full of mud, and as a result, his face immediately bloomed, making Yelusi on the shore laugh crisply again.
Although there are a lot of fish in this small lake in Yelu Sixian, it is not easy to catch them, especially the three of them have no experience in this area, fortunately, when Zhao Yan was teaching in his previous life, he saw some students catching fish in the river, and they all cut off a section of the river water with a mud dam, and then scooped out the water inside, so that those fish had nowhere to escape.
So in this case, Zhao Yan and Su Shi separated the section of the small lake and the stream with stones and mud, and then scooped up the water and began to catch fish, but those fish were also drilling in the sludge, and Zhao Yan took a lot of effort to catch such one, as for Su Shi's side, he was still playing hide and seek with those fish.
One fish is naturally not enough for Zhao Yan and the three of them to eat, not to mention that they have been hungry for two days, and they must make up for it today, so Zhao Yan then began to catch fish again, this time he had some experience, whenever his hand touched the fish, he tried his best to throw the fish on the shore, and the result was really effective, and soon caught two smaller fish, Su Shi also did the same, and soon caught two fish, which was not only enough for their dinner today, but also for tomorrow's breakfast.
Yelusi strung all the five fish with branches, and then said to Zhao Yan and Su Shi with a smile: "You two better hurry up and wash your faces, if you let others see it, I'm afraid you will never believe that you are the two deputy envoys of the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Zhao Yan and Su Shi glanced at each other at this time, but at this time, they all saw that each other's faces were already splashed with mud, and they all laughed at the moment, and came to the other side of the lake to clean it, although it was summer now, but the temperature in the mountains was relatively low, so after they washed it, they immediately ran to the fire to roast the fire, but at this time Zhao Yan suddenly appeared, Yelusi was facing the five fish.
"What's wrong, there's something wrong with these fish?" Zhao Yan walked over and looked at Yelusi and then at the fish, and asked with some puzzlement.
"No problem!" Yelusi glanced up at him when he heard Zhao Yan's words, and then said a little embarrassed, "It's just that I don't know how to cook, and I don't know what to do with these fish." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yan was also a little crying and laughing, picked up the five fish at the moment, and then came to the lake and began to disemboweling the fish with a knife, removing the scales and gills, and cleaning the fish. When Zhao Yan was doing this, Yelusi had been standing by curiously and watching, when she saw Zhao Yan so skillfully handling these fish, her heart was even more strange, ordinary men don't know how to cook at all, Zhao Yan is the king of the county, and it is impossible for him to cook personally, but now looking at the way he handles these fish, it is comparable to the imperial chef in the palace.
After Zhao Yan processed all the five fish, and then took off the helmet he had been wearing and washed it a few times, Yelusi saw this, and immediately thought of something, and said with some embarrassment: "King Jun, you don't want to use this helmet as a pot, right?" ”
"Don't worry, this helmet is new, and I only wore it for a few days before, and now I can just boil water for cooking." Zhao Yan immediately saw what Yelusi was worried about, and said with a smile, "Of course, if you feel dirty, I'll make you grilled fish later, but I think fish soup is more delicious." ”
Seeing Zhao Yan see through her own mind at once, Yelusi also blushed, she did feel that the helmet was a little dirty, but now that she heard Zhao Yan's explanation, she couldn't refuse anymore, she shook her head and said: "No need, it's cold at night, and it's extremely rare to be able to drink hot fish soup." ”
Zhao Yan also laughed when he heard this, and didn't say anything, took the helmet and the fish back to the fire, and then cut the two fish into pieces to cook fish soup, and the remaining fish was made into grilled fish.
After the fish soup and grilled fish were ready, Zhao Yan and Su Shi were not so particular, they folded two branches to make chopsticks, and ate them on the helmet, although there was no salt and seasoning in the fish soup, but the freshness of the fish itself alone was enough to make them have a great appetite, not to mention that they were still hungry for two days, at this time, even if they ate pig food, they would feel extremely delicious, not to mention the delicious fish soup.
In contrast, although Yeluth is also very hungry, she looks very delicate when she eats fish and meat, in fact, she eats very quickly, but the court education she received since childhood has allowed her to maintain the demeanor of a princess whenever and wherever she is. It's just that when they were about to go to bed after eating, Zhao Yan and the three of them encountered another somewhat embarrassing problem. (To be continued......)
