Volume 1 A Son of Heaven and a Courtier 041 The beginning of love
Qiu Yizhi led everyone to the river to meet the army, Zheng Miao and Cui Nan had crossed the river to rectify the army across the river, leaving Wei Hu to organize the army to cross the river on the south bank of the Hutuo River.
Yizhi worked hard day after day, and first slept well all night, and then went to help command. However, this Wei Hu combed the army in an orderly manner, and there was really not much room for Yizhi to interfere, so he took Zhao Heizi and more than 20 other people to gallop along the coast to patrol. Youyan's army is naturally disciplined, but among the chaotic people who surrendered, there were occasional unruly attempts to rush to cross, seeing this situation, Qiu Yizhi stepped forward to apply for a punishment, and ordered it to obey the management of the official army.
This errand is extremely simple, and there is no need to use more brains, which makes Qiu Yizhi easy and happy. After three days like this, more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians have all withdrawn to Youyan, and only Qiu Yizhi led the 300 personal soldiers of the headquarters and the newly subdued 20 or 30 bandits, camped by the river and waited for Zheng Xin and Zheng Miao, and contacted the other side at any time.
It turned out that after Zheng Xin finished counting the property of Yuhuang's top Tianzun Sect, he waited for three days before waiting for Li Xinru, the assassin of Henan. Zheng Xin originally planned to hand over the counted account books to Li Tingshi, so he set off from the camp and rushed back to Youyan. But this assassin Li Xinru was extremely cautious, and he brought his own manpower to take inventory, so he had to count it in person.
Zheng Xin wanted to do this, but he didn't know when it would be postponed, and as soon as he put forward a few opinions, he heard Li Xin's Confucian son say a lot of truths, and he brought out the law of the Han Dynasty to preach. Zheng Xin was helpless, so he had to urge them to start counting as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, this group of scribes who took inventory had just counted one-third of the book, and when they saw the sun set, they had to rest. Zheng Xin could wait for them to waste time, so he had to negotiate with Li Xinru. The second brother Zheng Sen was in a hurry, and personally reasoned with the leading scribe, and was confronted by the scribe for a few words, and a wave of anger hung up, and he took out the whip and beat the person half to death.
Zheng Xin had already seen that this group of officials was hateful, but he held the identity of the eldest prince of Youyan Wang, and he couldn't attack easily, and he felt happy when he saw that the second brother beat them. But after all, the matter had to be done, so he pretended to scold Zheng Sen, and rewarded each clerk with a few taels of silver, so that he re-counted the property overnight and led the army north in the early morning of the next day.
Unexpectedly, before the army left the gate of Yuhuangding, it was stopped by Wu Yan, the envoy of Henan Jiedu, who came with Li Xinru, who was the assassin Shi Xinru, and sent troops to stop it, saying that he wanted to inspect the items of the army. The military discipline of the Youyan army is extremely strict, the daily military salary is very abundant and never in arrears, and every time there is a battle, it is also punished and rewarded severely, of course, there will be no generals who risk not having their heads to hide their belongings privately.
It turned out that it was just that Wu Yan was greedy for the benefits of the Taoist officials' secret exploitation when they were counting, and thought that he would lead the army to quell the rebellion and plunder and steal the property, so he came up with this bad idea of searching for the baggage of the Youyan army.
When Zhong Likuang taught people in Guangyang City, he often said that the corruption of Han officialdom has penetrated into the bone marrow and is difficult to return. Zheng Xin finally felt what the master said today, and he didn't exaggerate at all. He thought that if he really secretly carried his belongings, it would be good to only give half of this knot, but he was not greedy for money, except for carefully selecting a sword from the Western Regions on the top of Yuhuang to give to his father Zheng Rong, he really didn't bring any property, I don't know how long Wu Yan will be entangled after he knows. So he was so angry that he ordered the army to rush down the mountain.
The combat effectiveness of this Henan official army was originally sparse, and the Youyan army was humiliated and all hated the same enemy, so it was effortless to break through the barrier and leave Yuhuangding all the way, which was much easier than fighting with the rebels of the Tianzun Sect.
With these twists and turns, and at the same time, it was necessary to gather the garrisons in various places, so when Zheng Xin and Zheng Sen's soldiers and horses set off, it was already four days after Qiu Yizhi and Zheng Miao left.
Qiu Yizhi waited anxiously on the bank of the Hutuo River, and kept sending fast horses to inquire about the news, only to know that the eldest brother and the second brother still had three days to reach the river. He was not a man of peace, and when he saw that the river was rising higher and higher day by day, he became more and more anxious about himself, but he had no choice, and he fidgeted and circled in his big tent all day long.
At that time, the heat was already rising, and even the night was not the slightest cool. Qiu Yizhi regretted why he didn't take a few Tianzun Sect classics with him so that he could read them at any time, and he also regretted why he didn't leave his third brother Zheng Miao to talk to him. Now, I have to lie in bed by myself. I wanted to sleep with my eyes closed, but a few mosquitoes that didn't know the times circled around my head, making an annoying sound of "buzzing", and I got up to catch it, but it disappeared in an instant. Yizhi scolded twice, and just lay down to sleep, the damn mosquito flew to his ears and made a lot of noise, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to bite a pimple on the left side of his face, which was unspeakably uncomfortable. After going back and forth, he finally angered Qiu Yizhi, staring at his bloodshot eyes, looking around for traces of mosquitoes.
But the mosquito disappeared again, and I don't know where it went. Qiu Yizhi smiled bitterly and said to himself: "The ancients: The good keeper is hidden under the nine earths; Those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens. This little mosquito soldier has also entered the realm of transformation......" was smiling bitterly, but saw a small black dot flying up and down around the lamp, so he rushed up with an arrow, put his hands together for eleven beats, and saw that the mosquito happened to be stuck between his fingers, and the six insect feet were still waving and struggling.
Seeing this, Yi Zhi raised a smug smile on his face, and said in his mind: "You are greedy for my anointed blood, but you don't think that it will give you your life......
He was groaning, but he heard someone behind him say, "Yo! His Royal Highness Qiuyi, the righteous son of the King of Youyan, opened the banner victoriously and captured the enemy alive, which is really gratifying! ”
Yizhi turned his head to look, and saw a soldier standing at the mouth of the tent wearing the uniform of the Youyan army, and it was this person who made a sarcastic remark. This Qiu Yi's heart was arrogant, of course he was not happy when he heard it, and he was about to reprimand, but he saw that this soldier was in a graceful shape, which was very strange. So he looked at the little soldier carefully, and suddenly called: "Yiran! How did you come here? ”
When the little soldier heard this, he pursed his lips, grabbed the leather helmet he was wearing on his head, and his dark brown hair with natural curls spread out at once, which was the county lord of Ulin Yala Ibirukuyalaran, the daughter of Dali Khan, the loyal king of the Bohai Kingdom.
This reminiscent of the county lord grew up with Qiu Yi since he was a child, and he once went to the grassland to kill the enemy and fight, and his friendship was really extraordinary, so he saw him unrestrained, and casually threw the leather helmet on Yizhi's marching bed, and said: "The helmets of your Youyan soldiers are too stuffy. The weather in the Central Plains is also too hot. You see I walked a few steps, and I was sweating. "I remember that since the Han Dynasty and the Bohai State paid tribute, it has been five or six years since I was raised in the Youyan Palace, and the Chinese language has been spoken very well, but the vocabulary is still a little monotonous.
Seeing that she was really sweating profusely, Yizhi hurriedly invited her to sit down, poured a glass of warm water, handed it forward, and said, "Didn't I ask you, why did you come here?" ”
Yiran took the water cup, drank the cup in one go, his face was full of gloom, and he retorted: "Why can't I come?" Will the cult's witch be able to come? ”
This Qiu Yi's love has not yet opened, where can I hear that there is something in Yiran's words, and he slapped the table and said, "Don't mention her again." She made me miserable, fell for her tricks twice, and was severely reprimanded by my father-in-law! Then he thought about how to make a "lure the snake out of the hole" strategy to wipe out the backbone of the Tianzun Sect in Henan, but he didn't expect to fall into the "golden cicada shell" plan, and was told in detail by her escape.
When I heard the end, I smiled a little on my face, and said, "Hmph": "You boast about yourself on weekdays, saying that you are resourceful, how can you also have a time when you are scheming?" ”
"You don't know that. The so-called 'a wise man thinks a thousand times, and there must be a mistake', how can there be a plan in this world that is all right? If that's the case, then wouldn't I be even more powerful than the Ancestral Martial Saints? ”
Yiran listened, pursed his mouth, and said, "You have a lot of reason!" ”
"That's because the reason is on my side." Yizhi was stirred up by her and continued, "You see that this time he led the army to quell the rebellion of the Tianzun Sect, and this battle was fought very easily. Then he talked about the deeds of the Battle of Bianzhou and the Battle of Outwitting Yuhuangding. Thanks to Qiu Yizhi's sharp teeth since childhood, he said that Yiran was concentrated. Finally, he got up and removed the iron knife from the side of the bed, and said, "You see, this treasure knife is what I secretly brought from the top of Yu Huang. ”
This land of the Bohai Sea has always been rich in coal and iron ore, and the Bohai people are very good at smelting iron, when they were attached to the Turks, they were specifically responsible for building weapons for the Turkic army, and they were nicknamed "iron slaves". Yiran has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he is also very familiar with swords, so he reached out and grabbed the treasure knife in Yizhi's hand, pulled it out with a "puff", and slashed it towards the wooden table, cutting off the entire corner of the table as if cutting tofu. When I saw it, I couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a good knife, even the best blacksmith in my Bohai country can't make it." ”
Qiu Yizhi saw that there were several layers of gauze tied to the fingers of Yiran's left hand, so he said, "Why are you injured again." I said you dance with swords all day long, can you be careful! Okay, you better return the knife to me, save yourself and hurt yourself again. As he spoke, he snatched the knife from Yiran's hand, inserted it back into its scabbard, and hung it on the side of the bed again.
Yiran sighed and said, "I didn't expect this cult to loot a lot of good things, why don't you remember to give me a few things?" ”
This really made Qiu Yizhi's question stupid. At that time, on the top of Yuhuang, patronizing the search for the book brought by the Tianzun Sect from the Western Regions, this treasure knife was also obtained by chance, where can I care about what gift to choose for Yiran. Although Qiu Yizhi didn't understand the matter of children's affection, he also knew that he must not tell the truth, but he couldn't think of any reason to justify it. Suddenly I thought that there was a bronze mirror given to me by Wen Lingjiao at hand, which was the thing used by the woman, and it could be given to Yiran, but I felt that I was really reluctant in my heart, so I suddenly stayed there and was at a loss.
Yiran didn't know what he was thinking, but suddenly asked, "You...... Do you miss me these days? As he spoke, a flush appeared on his cheeks.
"Yes, of course." Qiu Yizhi paused and said, "It's okay when you march and fight, but as soon as you calm down, you can't help but think about you, the people, things, things, and Lulu in Guangyang City." "Lulu is a dog that has depended on Qiu Yizhi since he was a child, and was later brought to Guangyang City by him from Henan to raise, and has been raised to be fat and strong, and he is very angry.
"Humph! It turns out that in your heart, I am the same as a dog! Believe it or not, I'll kill Lulu when I go back? I don't know which of Qiu Yizhi's words touched me, but I suddenly became angry.
Yizhi was inexplicable when he heard this, and hurriedly comforted: "How can you say this." I treat you as my own sister, how can Lulu compare with you? ”
Hearing this, she became even angrier, stood up suddenly, kicked over the chair, and ran out of the tent.
Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi was completely confused, and was about to chase after him, but another person flashed in outside the camp. This person also recognizes it, and it is the Bohai warrior Yelu who often follows the memory. This also took a purse in his hand and handed it to Qiu Yizhi, and said: "Your Highness, this is made by the county lord himself, and he wants to give it to you, now ......"
Yizhi took it, looked carefully, and saw that the material of this purse was extremely exquisite, but the stitches were crooked and twisted, and the thickness was different, and the workmanship was really not flattering. But this princess Bang has never practiced female red, and making such a purse is probably much more difficult for her than learning a set of swordsmanship. Qiu Yizhi suddenly realized that the injury on his left hand was not left by dancing knives and guns, horses and eagles, but was broken by embroidery needles......
Thinking of this, Yizhi kept rubbing his purse with both hands, and he was already stupid...... I only heard a thick voice in my ears: "Alas~ The county lord has been in the Central Plains for a long time, how can he learn to twist and pinch like the Central Plains women......"
