The wind was strong, the weather was cold, and Zhuyun was watching the snow.

The snow in front of her was not big, but the snow in her heart was fluttering, just like that winter, she dragged it

When Yang Hao went to the Luhe River to go to Minxing.

Whenever she thinks of Yang Hao, her face is hot and dry, and as she gets closer and closer to Xingzhou, her pretty face is in a state of congestion all day long, looking very glorious.

She took the initiative to ask for help to Agul, and with this reason, she was able to leave Yang Hao's side, but the monk couldn't escape the temple, and she still had to go back after all. Today, she has already received news from Xingzhou that some preparations will be carried out by her own hands tomorrow The final step of the snake attraction plan: beheading.

This is the case, then...... It will be an embarrassing scene when he will finally face him

Face?

Zhu Yun raised her face and looked at the silent night sky, those two eyes were like two bright stars, and her cheeks were red, two peach blossoms......

Shame? Of course ashamed, she never thought that she had so much courage, she actually lay in his arms, and boldly asked to give birth to him, to give birth to a child belonging to the two of them, everything in the drunkenness, she still remembers it clearly, he ...... He seemed to be drunk too, he probably doesn't remember, right?

The more bamboo Yun thinks about catfish. Shame, with a sigh, Jing'er covered his cheeks and paused uncontrollably, that kind of daughter's shyness, but no one has ever seen the moving style, and the only thing I am fortunate to witness is the fluttering snowflakes.

"I don't care! My body is ......, so you can see it! My man, I've slept with you! And besides, and...... Have a baby with me, you also promised! If you don't marry me, who will marry me? ”

Zhu Yun suddenly put down his hand in annoyance, clenched his hands into fists, gritted his teeth, and desperately mustered up his courage, and his fighting spirit was full in an instant, swelling to an unprecedented height. If Yang Hao stood in front of her at this time, the eldest girl of Xiangluo Gu could pick up his four hooves very arrogantly, carry him into the cave room, and cook the raw rice into paste rice with a blazing fire!

That's when ...... "Special Service-sama."

A soldier's voice suddenly came from behind him, and the superhuman ear power and jǐng jue xìng that Zhu Yun had cultivated as a killer since he was a child actually didn't notice it at all.

"Ahh What's up? ”

Zhu Yun was frightened like a rabbit, and the courage she had just inspired disappeared in an instant

Tracks.

road

Zhu Yun's actions startled the soldier as well, and he hurriedly took a step back and said respectfully, "Master Special Service, Lord Surman Yehu has arrived, and there is an important military plane to discuss with you."

"Oh? Sullman ......, where is he now? ”

"Waiting in your big tent.

"Okay, let's go!" Zhu Yun tightened her cloak and walked away.

Sulman was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army in Zhuyun, and was deliberating on the prepared words, when he heard someone report outside: "The secret service master has arrived......

Sulman hurriedly stood up to greet him, and saw a beautiful woman walking lightly and floating in, with an extremely calm expression.

"Special Service Lord, the old man visited late at night, didn't disturb the adults, right?" Sulman greeted him with a smile, but thought in his heart: "Hmph, a little girl, just because she is related to Aguli, can she be on an equal footing with the old man?" When the strength of your clan is also weakened, at that time, not only you, but even Aguli will have to look at the old man's eyes.

Seeing the sweet face of Mina Muya in front of her, thinking of her crying without tears after eating a dumb loss like Xiao Manying, it was as if she had seen a wronged head, and the smile on Sullou's face became more and more vigorous.

Zhu Yun saw the bearded Suerman, and when she thought of the news of closing the net from Xingzhou today, her already sweet smile became as sweet as if she had been dipped in honey. As a killer, when she wants to kill someone, this harmless smile on her face is always touching......

In the upper reaches of the water, it has been snowing heavily for several days at this time, and this is an important territory of the Jurchen Wanyan Department. And at this moment, this has become the place that the Anchebone tribe has just occupied.

The Wanyan tribe of Fuganshui was called the Jurchen by the Liao and Song dynasties, and it was an ignorant tribe that had not yet been civilized. They don't have a government, they don't have laws, they don't even know the years, people don't know their exact age, and if you ask the Jurchens how empty they are, they will answer, "How many times have I seen the grass green."

His ancestors originally lived in the southeast corner of the former Bohai Kingdom in the Hamgyong Mountain, but due to poverty and embarrassment, forced to make a living, they had just moved back to their hometown to serve dry water, and before they could grasp the power of the tribe, they used the culture and civilization they had learned to transform their tribe, and they had died in the hands of the Anchegu tribe.

There are hundreds of large and small Jurchen tribes in the Mudanshui (Mudanjiang) Valley, and the inter-tribal experience is to attack and kill each other, and the methods are cruel. As one of the larger tribes, the Wanyan tribe occupies more territory and resources, and naturally has more enemies. Compared with the Wanyan tribe, the Anchegu tribe is more civilized at this time, and since they have mastered the exclusive agency right of the maritime trade route, they also have greater prestige and power among the ministry, which violates the interests of the Wanyan tribe.

There are contradictions and conflicts between them, and the only solution is force, so the Wanyan Department launched a challenge to the old enemy Anche Bone, and now the Anche Bone's Department is not the usual, holding the exclusive agency of overseas trade, which is equivalent to choking the economic lifeline of each tribe, and many neutral tribes have stood on the side of the Anche Bone, and this is what the current clansmen of the Wanyan tribe did not expect.

As a result, the two sides, which had been evenly matched in the past, began to tilt the balance of victory in favor of Anche bones from the beginning, and the battle that took place in the garrison of the Wanyan tribe in Fuganshui ten days ago was the last battle between the two tribes. In this battle, the young patriarch of the Anche Bone Tribe, Zhu Li, really did not wear armor, was half-naked, holding the rì long sword he had just bought, raising his flag and drums, and taking the lead bravely.

In this battle, Anche Lushan

The nine elders of the Wanyan tribe, the fall of the Wanyan tribe is inevitable, and as soon as the Wanyan tribe falls, the people of its tribe will be swallowed up by the Anchegu tribe again, and the situation of the Anchegu tribe dominating the Fuganshui Basin is inevitable.

Today, it was Zhu Lizhen's father, Anchegu Purit, who married the wife of the patriarch of the Yan tribe, and various tribes near and far sent people to celebrate, and several forces that were originally not weaker than the Anchegu tribe such as Shuhu, Tudan, and Wulinhe also sent people, and even the Sushilie tribe, which had a grudge against the Anchegu tribe, also sent people.

They rode in chariots, or on horseback, or in the snow and plows, and rushed to the servants, carrying gifts.

There is such a mysterious group of pedestrians, also on the way to the servant dry water, they ride the snow plow, each snow plow is pulled by a dozen dogs, a line of four snow plows, it looks like a relatively powerful tribe.

On the middle of the snow plow, sat two people who were much smaller than the burly men in fur hats and leather robes around them, dressed in bloated clothes, their heads and faces were also tightly covered, and there was hoarfrost hanging between their eyebrows, so they couldn't see their faces at all.

Huge fires burned in the wide clearing of the tribe, thick pine trees piled up into a volcano, flames soared and crackled, and sparks flew like countless fireflies in the night sky, and the scattered snowflakes were contrasted.

The two mysterious guests who had been staying in the patriarch's room were personally accompanied by Zhu Lizhen and walked to the clearing. Around the fire, simple and primitive pine tables were arranged, and on the floor were wolfskin mattresses that could keep the cold out, and the wise men of the Anche bones and the envoys of the various tribes sat there, feasting and drinking, and no one noticed the arrival of these two guests.

One of the two guests whispered a few words to Zhu Lizhen, Zhu Li Zhen nodded again and again, and added a table to the dimly lit lower position, and two layers of wolf skin mattresses were specially placed on the ground, and the two mysterious guests walked over and sat down quietly. And Zhu Li Zhen rushed to toast the guests on behalf of his father.

"Phew, Bah, it's fishy!

One of the guests frowned and hurriedly spat out the food in his mouth. As soon as she heard her voice, she was a woman, speaking Chinese, and her body was very tightly wrapped, revealing only a face with clear eyebrows, perhaps even Song Guogong'e, who was most familiar with her in the past, could not recognize that the woman sitting in a group of rough men in this ice and snow was their Princess Yongqing.

"Hehe, this is an authentic barbecue, but ...... Why do you think that everything is authentic and original, and it is the best&? Not really. Another woman who is slightly taller than her is naturally Jie Ziyu. With a smile, she picked up her knife, cut off a slice of roast mutton, and dipped some salt in the simple wooden dish in front of her, and put it in her mouth and chewed it delicately.

Yongqing glanced at her unconvinced, grabbed a knife to cut off a piece of mutton, threw it into the meow, and chewed it vigorously as if he had a grudge against it.

"In the barbecue dishes in the palace, the mutton is probably simmered with various seasoning spices, and the brine mixed with spices is brushed over and over again when barbecued, right? Hehe, there are no such conditions here, they have eaten like this for generations.

Zhen Ziyu said, and took a sip of the somewhat bitter inferior tea, although the food here is very poor, but she is peaceful, not at all like a pampered lady, Yongqing almost everywhere takes her as a comparison target, and immediately takes a sip of the tea, and then pours it down like a medicine.

When he turned around and saw that Zhen Ziyu's eyes were looking at her with a smile, Yongqing's face couldn't help but turn red, and he hurriedly disguised his words, turned sideways to her, and whispered: "The housewife of Wanyan is not very beautiful."

Zhe Ziyu gently sliced the mutton with a knife, glanced at her, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why is Hugh doing this?"

Yongqing frowned, and said puzzledly: "I just killed someone's husband, and I immediately married someone's lady, if this master mother of the Wanyan Department didn't have the appearance of captivating the country and the city, how could Anchegu Purit, as the head of a clan, be fascinated and willing to risk the world's greatness to do such a thing?" ”

Excerpt Yu Waner said: "You guessed wrong, the rules and customs here are different from those of the Central Plains. It is nothing to kill her husband and take away her wife, and a woman is also a property of the family in their people. An Che Gu Purit's marriage to the mother of the Wan Yan Department has nothing to do with whether she is beautiful or not, but out of the need to rule the Wan Yan Ministry......"

Excerpt Ziyu paused, and then said: "This master mother of the Wanyan Department is already over sixty years old, hehe, how can a sixty-year-old woman be beautiful?" Anche Bone Purit is not yet fifty years old. The tribes of the steppe, a long, long time ago, were all women who held power and were the leaders of the tribes. At that time, a newborn child in a tribe only knew his mother, but not his father.

Wanyan is ......, and there are still some such ancient customs left, the main mother of the whole clan, and at the same time holds the position of a witch, that is, the Central Plains said Shanman (shaman) wizard, whether it is hunting, counciling, going on expeditions, or fighting, after the patriarch has made a decision, there must be a witch to divinate the good fortune and make the final decision, so she has more power than the patriarch. Anchegu Purit married her, but only a nominal wife, and by this means, the Yan Department ...... will disappear from now on, and will be fully integrated into the Anchebone tribe.

"I see...... Princess Yongqing suddenly realized.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance, and the sound drifted in the wind, overpowering the laughter in the square, and everyone looked into the distance, and sat side by side with the sixty-year-old shaman, dressed in new clothes, and dressed in an extremely terrifying manner

With a wave of his hand, he led a few warriors of the clan and walked forward. Today is the joy of their father's wedding, and they are also wary that there will be people in the Wanyan Department who will disobey and make trouble, "Countless warriors have already been arranged in the four places, but they are not afraid that someone will cause trouble. After a while, Zhu Lizhen came back in a hurry, panting and said, "Father, no...... It's not the people of the Wanyan tribe who are making trouble, it's ...... It's someone from Liao.

"What? Someone from Liao? How could the Liao Kingdom know? An Che Gu Purit was startled, and the envoys of all the tribes around were also stunned, and the audience immediately fell silent. Zhu Li Zhen said: "The envoy of the Liao State didn't know that his father had occupied the Yan Ministry, and he ...... He had come to deliver a message to the Wanyan Ministry.

As soon as Zhu Li Zhen said this, he heard a yīn yang strange voice and said, "An Che Gu has finished destroying the Yan Department?" Haha, that's good, two in one, I don't have to run an extra place. With the voice, a man dressed in the official uniform of the Liao State, accompanied by several guards in bright armor, staggered over, swept the whole audience, and ran straight to the main seat.

Anchegu Purit hurriedly got up to greet him, and the envoys of all the ministries stepped forward one after another, reporting their identities, and the envoy of the Liao State was overjoyed when he heard it, and laughed and said: "Haha, I still think this trip is a chore, I can't imagine that there is such a cheap competition, and there are people here in all the ministries of the servants, which is much easier, this official came by the will of the Queen Mother and the emperor, and your ministries should listen to the order."

The heads of the various departments hurriedly bowed down to receive the order, and the excerpt of Princess Yongqing was also hidden. After entering the crowd, she shrank her body back and Princess Yongqing glanced at her and asked quietly, "Do you recognize him?" ”

Excerpt Ziyu nodded and said in a low voice: "This person is an official of the Honglu Temple of the Liao State, called Ink Trace, and he once sent an envoy to Western Xia.

The two whispered below, and the ink mark stood on the top and said loudly: "Today's letter is reported, the remnants of the traitor Yelu Sanming of the Liao State, the whereabouts of the female direct territory haunt the territory of the female direct, and the female direct departments are ordered to immediately start arresting, searching the mountains and valleys, do not let the gangsters hide, the court is in the territory of the female zhi, all the eyes and ears, if the departments do not do their best, once it is found out to be true, the clan chief will be severely punished, and the tribute of his ministry will be doubled, and the northern pearls will be increased to two hundred, and the tiger skins will be ten to ......."

The leaders of the various ministries who bowed down secretly complained bitterly, telling them to find someone is nothing, the problem is that they have known the style of the Liao bureaucrats for so many years, and every time there is a will, it is an opportunity for them to loot, like such a specious order, you have not tried your best? As long as a person is not captured in your territory, you can be charged with not doing your will with all your will.

Like the northern pearl, the pearl is big and round, known as the Liao Song Dynasty magnates, but the pearl mussel of that pearl is always ripe in winter, at this time the water has turned into ice, the ice is sensitive, to chisel the ice under the river to pick up the clam to get, and to about 100 clams, in order to pick up a pearl, a better pearl of course to catch more clams, the hardships can be imagined.

There is also the tiger skin, although the world legend says that the three Jurchen warriors can hunt tigers, and their courage is abnormal, but the tiger is not something that can be hunted casually, and how can the king of beasts be everywhere. If you want to be less troubled, you have to pay homage to the envoy of the Liao State, and for a while, the envoys of various ministries immediately turned their brains, thinking that they would immediately send someone back to get some property and gag his mouth.

Ink Marks said hard work in his mouth, but in fact, this trip to the Jurchen territory was really a big merit and difference, and it took him a lot of effort to get it. Especially here, he bumped into so many tribes of people at once, and he didn't have to work hard to hurry, just sit in the Wanyan tribe and wait for the various tribes to send money, and his heart was even more joyful, as for which tribe destroyed which tribe, he didn't care about these things, the Jurchen tribes were like a group of sheep in the eyes of the Liao people, and they would come to cut it once when they were fat, so as to ignore the disputes between them, and the more fierce they were, the better.

Ink Marks announced his will, sat down on the main seat, looked at the female monster next to him with a smile, and said to Anchegu Prit: "Patriarch Purit, I heard that you have destroyed the Yan tribe, and you are going to marry the master mother of the department?" Hehehe, double happiness is coming, congratulations, congratulations.

Praitt said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the angel of the kingdom is coming, Cai Lishu is honored."

Reach.

There is no one who is not greedy for the envoys sent by the Liao State, and the greedy ones are still good, "It's just that they extort some ginseng, mink, pearls, honey and other specialties, and if they are inferior, they will let the women of the Jurchen tribe sleep when they come, and they will be called "recommended pillows", whether it is the woman of the leader of the clan or the girl in the tribe, as long as the posture is beautiful, no one will be spared if he sees it.

There was once a tribal leader who refused to use his beloved wife to sleep, and the Liao envoy turned around and found an excuse to add fuel to the fire in front of the Liao emperor at that time, and sent troops to defeat his tribe

The envoy, as a prisoner, whipped the leader to death and threw him into the dog's house, and his woman was snatched away. From then on, the Jurchen wives and daughters were insulted, their wealth was taken away, the tribes were separated, and a lot of hatred was pressed in their hearts, but because of the scattered sand, they were powerless to resist, and they could only accept it.

As for the ...... of Prit, he was completely relieved of his bride, if it weren't for her special status, Prit would still be eager for the Liao envoy in front of him to snatch her away, so he was not worried about it, seeing that he was so numb to his reaction to his annexation of the Wanyan tribe, he was overjoyed. While complimenting the ink marks, he took out a jīng inlaid with diamonds from his arms, respectfully handed it to the ink marks, and said with a smile: "Since it is the will of the kingdom, we will naturally obey it, but ...... We have high mountains and dangerous roads here, especially the heavy snow covers the mountains, the beasts are fierce, even the most sè hunters do not dare to go deep, the murderer must be arrested, if you fail to find the person to be caught, but also ask the angel to say a few good words in front of the emperor, we ...... It's really hard to say.

This piece of Xiang Yuan is one of the treasures that Zhen Ziyu specially selected from the treasures bought by the Nanyang merchant ships from foreign lands and brought back to Zhongtiao, and I heard that Purit was going to marry

The woman gave it to him as a gift. The value of this circle itself is indescribably valuable, and its artistic value is also indescribable, so friends gave him as a gift. The value of this piece itself is indescribably precious, and its artistic value is needless to say, and the vision of Zhen Ziyu is much more brilliant than that of all the people present combined.

As soon as the ink mark saw that he could take out such a precious necklace, he was unexpected, and immediately said with a smile: "Oh, about this, you can rest assured, I have only entered your tribe until now, of course I know if the road is difficult or not, hahaha, you are really not here to do it, the action is too inconvenient, and now the queen mother has decreed that she is building a royal road from Shangjing to your women's direct five national departments (near Yilan County, Heilongjiang), which is specially built for Gongfeng Hai Dongqing." This road has been repaired, fast horses and high carriages, all passable, hehe, when there is a chance, I will say a few good words for you in front of the Queen Mother, and also build a road to you.

"Yes, yes, angels, please sit, it's rare for angels to come, please drink a few more glasses tonight

Wine is.

Britt and the others sat down with the ink marks, and Folds gestured to Zhu Lizhen

Zhu Li really understood, took the time to run over, and left the venue early with these two guests.

"In such a scene, the fifth prince is really not suitable to show up, so please rest early, tomorrow, me

I'm going to Shangjing Gongfeng, just to escort the five princes to go together, and I will return to Western Xia.

"In this way, there is a young patriarch." Excerpt Yu smiled skillfully, his eyes turned, and he said casually: "In order to pay tribute to Haidongqing, the Liao people actually opened up a royal road leading directly to the tribes of the five countries, what does the young patriarch think about this?" ”

Before, Zhu Li Zhen also thought that everything about them was bad? Bad luck comes from the Liao people's coveting of Haidongqing, but since the last time it was broken by the excerpt, it has been enlightened, and thinking about things is no longer so simple. When he heard Zhen Ziyu's question, he knew that there must be a mystery, and after a little thought, he shook his head and said: "No, there are ghosts among them, how can it be possible to spend a lot of manpower and financial resources to build such a road for the convenience of sending eagles?" Besides, it's an eagle, and it's not such a huge thing, in a cage, a horse can be lost, and what road can be built?

Excerpt Ziyu smiled slightly: "The young patriarch is really wise, the Liao people provoked you to fight, the excuse is Hai Dongqing, and now I want to build a road that the army can quickly reach and strengthen my control over you, the excuse is still Hai Dongqing, hehe, the Liao people can't think of a second excuse, or do they treat you all as fools?" ”

Zhu Lizhen was shocked and angry when he heard this, and he said again: "When the road to the tribes of the five countries is repaired, without the kind words of the envoy, the Liao State will also be very kind to build another road that leads to your place, and it will ...... in the future." It's even more convenient to strip you up.

Zhuli really hated: "I'll go tell my father."

finish

person

Excerpt Ziyu smiled: "What are you in a hurry, the road is not a road." Then again, even if you know the purpose of the Liao, what can you do? Can you refuse ...... 'Liao's good intentions?' ”

"This ......"

Zhu Li was really speechless, but he was also smart, and he already knew that this fifth prince was extremely smart, and his wisdom was beyond his reach, so he said respectfully: "Please also ask the fifth prince for advice."

Excerpt Ziyu said with a smile: "In the territory of your various departments, are there any large groups of horse bandits and thieves?" ”

Zhu Lizhen smiled bitterly: "In this place, what can you rob?" There are occasional thieves, but they are just three or two people eating together. The nomadic tribes of the Liao State often expelled the people of Tiele and Wuja for the sake of grassland, and sometimes they could not bear it anymore, and they resisted and killed people in anger, so they would flee to us, and some of the prince's subordinates who failed to usurp would also flee to take refuge. The Liao State has always ordered us to repatriate fugitives, but some fugitives carry a lot of gold and silver treasures, and the fifth prince knows that we ...... If they are very poor, they will try their best to help them cover up when they get benefits, but it is too late for such a fugitive to cover his whereabouts, and he will not deliberately cause trouble.

Excerpt Ziyu said with a smile: "That's easy to do, no, you can make something out of nothing." Yes, you can plant dirt and blame the trouble. Haven't you always had a feud with the tribes of the Five Kingdoms? If there are bandits or fugitives under their protection in their territory who set up ambushes, dig traps, and destroy the roads built by the Liao State, and kill the people who built the roads in the Liao State, they can not only prevent the construction of roads, but also ......"

Zhu Li Zhen already understood when he heard this, and said with great joy: "Fifth son Gao Jian, Zhu Li really understands, and I will discuss countermeasures with my father tonight."

Ji Ziyu smiled and nodded, and walked into his accommodation.

As soon as Zhu Lizhen left, Princess Yongqing said to Zhen Ziyu: "Why did you tell him about this stove?"

Excerpt Ziyu chuckled: "If there is chaos in the east, the Liao State will hope that the west will be more stable." If we see what is good for us, and it is just a thing that is in passing, why not do it? ”

Yang Hao...... Crisscrossing the west of the river, do you still need to use such a yīn trick? ”

"You're wrong, sometimes what an army of millions can't do, a small trick can make a big difference. In ancient times, there was no hero who sat on the throne in the world, and none of them did not possess strong force, but none of them only relied on strong force, and those who only knew martial arts were just the end of the overlord of Chu. When you can borrow power, you must borrow power.

"But the situation of the Jurchens ......"

"The Jurchens are not doing well, they are not good, they don't want to change, but they haven't thought of how to change yet. Sooner or later, they would have thought of it, I just told them one step ahead, I wasn't hurting them, I was giving them what they wanted, and at the same time getting the result I wanted, "What's wrong with having the best of both worlds?"

Princess Yongqing sat down on the table, staring at a small oil lamp made of animal oil on the table, chewing on what Zhi Ziyu had said repeatedly, and not feeling obsessed, Zhen Ziyu opened the cover, and when she turned her head to look, she saw Princess Yongqing staring at the light, and her eyes were shining, flickering like jewels, as if ...... What did you realize......
