Chapter 0142: The man is as dead as iron
In 1615, at the end of October, there was heavy snow in Liaodong.
The border barren land in the north is already covered in silver, and the weather is cold.
Jia Gang stood in front of a pine leaf forest, reaching out to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky. The snowflakes fell on his dry phalanges, but he could not feel the cold breath like a living manβseveral days had passed since Ehkulen's thrills, and the adventures had caused him many wounds, but they had also given him great hardship. His cultivation has been raised from the 'second layer of qi and blood' to the 'third layer'.
All suffering is worth it.
There was a simple campsite in the pine leaf forest where Jia Gang was, and early in the morning, twenty or thirty people crawled out of the hastily built snow nest. All of them were dressed in heavy black winter clothes, fur hats, leather jackets, leather trousers, leather boots, and rough grass stalks tied tightly, simple but warm - many people in the camp had experienced such a comfortable and warm winter for the first time.
There was a fire in the team, and a large clay jar was cooking breakfast. The rice from Liuhezhai is poured into the jar, mixed with meat pieces and dried fruits, and it is a meal. Although a certain person was still very dissatisfied, no one in the team had any complaints, but was overjoyed. After all, it's winter, and many people used to starve to death and freeze to death, but now it's enough to be happy to be full.
Everyone feels that they have followed a good master, have the ability and ability, but they love to toss.
A woman's cry of 'Ah......hh......h As soon as this voice sounded, everyone didn't care, but they also felt happy in their hearts - the female owner who was snatched by his own male master with his ability, people love it every day, what is there to talk about as a subordinate?
Besides, how festive this voice sounds!
From time to time, Aghai's maid walked into the snow nest, and then fled with a red face. Old man Sun is old, what are you doing in the snow nest happily? The maid squirmed and said a few words, which immediately caused a round of jubilation in the camp.
The kung fu of a group, what 'old tree roots', what 'old man's cart', what 'lifting the hips and carrying in', and what 'nine shallow and one deep' topics began to spread everywhere. These new words were all said by Zhou Qingfeng, and they were passed down through the mouth of the maid.
There are also tricks with mouth, hands, chest, and buttocks, and even the stunts of lubricating with grease have also been openly discussed by everyone, and they are all happy to see it in person. It's obviously a very hard life in the wilderness, but the atmosphere is joyful and makes everyone happy.
In the Jurchen tribe, marriage robbery is not unusual.
What is strange is that it grabbed the head of Nurhachi, the head of the Jianzhou Ministry, and everyone felt happy.
Hearing this woman's open shout, Cai Zhiwei in the team couldn't help but murmur in his heart, 'Daytime prostitution, ethical disorder', but in front of the twenty or thirty people in the team, it was actually very exciting to think about it.
Today's painter Cai is no longer the poor scholar who stayed in Shenyang, and the series of experiences of the northern border barren opened his eyes. The magic and cruelty of nature, the bravery and savagery of the Jurchens, as well as Zhou Qingfeng's whimsical ideas and unscrupulous heroism, all of which were carefully recorded by him with a bald pen.
"September 21, the sky was sunny and snowy. In the mountains west of Ekhkulun, the chief An Kang, Chen Shi and the concubine Abahai were cannon in the morning. β
After writing this paragraph, Cai Zhiwei scratched his scalp in embarrassment. He had a few pieces of bark paper in his hand, intending to record his adventures in the Northland. But he really has nothing to write about himself, and the one who can write is Zhou Qingfeng. But in recent days, Zhou Qingfeng has nothing to write about, this guy is going over the mountains and mountains every day to return to Daming, and then there is the 'morning cannon and evening can't be shaken' in the morning and evening.
"I'm almost going to write this as 'Living Note.'"
Even the word 'morning cannon' was given by Zhou Qingfeng himself, and Cai Zhiwei didn't understand why he called the little thing he did in the morning with such a name. But Zhou Qingfeng said that a 'morning cannon' in the morning is beneficial to physical and mental health, and a 'morning cannon' at night consumes physical strength and helps sleep. So Cai Zhiwei honestly remembered this.
"Alas, it is so natural that you can rob people's wives and daughters, and you really deserve to be a person who wants to 'a python'." Closer to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, Cai Zhiwei has been mixed with Zhou Qingfeng and a group of Jurchens for a long time, and he is unconsciously vulgar and funny.
After writing the 'Living Note', Cai Zhiwei came out of his snow nest and shivered in the face of a cold wind. "This year's winter is much colder than last year's." He muttered a few words, and hurriedly took the bowl to get a hot breakfast.
The snow on the ground was thick and crunched when stepped on. A woodland servant came in from outside the camp, and quickly ran to the snow nest where Zhou Qingfeng lived and shouted, "Zhou boy, Zhou boy, come out quickly." I've arranged the way below. β
Under the urging shout, the crackling sound in the snow nest not only did not stop, but became more and more intense. It was a quarter of an hour before it stopped under the screaming and panting of men and women. After a while, Zhou Qingfeng walked out of the snow nest while wearing his belt, grinning.
Seeing Zhou Qingfeng come out, the woodland servant hurriedly retreated. The little monster raised its head and looked up and exclaimed, "Boy Zhou, you have grown again." β
Abahai also walked out, she was originally taller than Zhou Qingfeng. But in the past few days, his kung fu seems to be shorter than Zhou Qingfeng. She was poorly dressed, her hair was disheveled, but her countenance was radiant, and her face was ruddy, as if she had been greatly nourished. Listening to the admiration of the woodland servant, she said angrily: "This bastard boy has been very strange in the past few days, and he has been working hard. β
A few days ago, when he was not in the sun, Abahai was angry and ashamed of Zhou Qingfeng's domineering. As a result, after being given to Zhou Qingfeng in broad daylight, she didn't cry and cry, but quickly calmed down and accepted this reality - what if she didn't accept it? There's no feminism in this world. The Jurchens don't have any strong concept of chastity, as long as they can live.
Zhou Qingfeng's performance in the past few days can be described as 'a big job', and he is very talented in this matter. Abahai didn't cry or shed tears, he just felt refreshed. And Zhou Qingfeng himself is even more weird, the 'blood marrow' he took before seems to have finally been fully stimulated in the process of popping, and his body has grown explosively.
Zhou Qingfeng's size soared to about 1.65 meters in one breath, and his appearance age increased from ten to thirteen years old. His entire limbs and torso were thickened, and his body was already a majestic and heroic young man. Strength, endurance, flexibility and other aspects of physical fitness have been strengthened again, and have fully reached the level of an adult.
It is such a strengthened body, morning and evening, which has conquered Abahai's desire to die and immortals, and his private moments have been conquered countless times. Now that Abahai looks at Zhou Qingfeng again, the complicated feelings in his eyes are difficult to explain clearly. The love between men and women should have been hidden, but now everyone in the team is talking about her and Zhou Qingfeng every day, and she is quite free.
You can't help it if you don't have it, right?
Zhou Qingfeng's body grew violently, and his hair grew a lot. He didn't have time to take care of it, so he simply tied it up in the back of his head, but he was also full of wild manliness. Hearing the woodland servant say that the road behind was arranged, he smiled and asked, "What about the phoenix egg, have you already placed it?" β
A few days ago, Zhou Qingfeng got the phoenix egg, and the woodland servant also returned to Ehekulun with Old Man Sun and others. Although Zhou Qingfeng's fortress was destroyed, some food and other materials in the fortress could still be contained. The group set off to the west again, and the phoenix egg was handed over to the woodland servant.
Regarding the origin of the phoenix egg, Zhou Qingfeng was very curious. It's just that after sending out two curses that day to break the siege of Dashan, the egg no longer made a sound, and even the temperature change of alternating hot and cold was greatly reduced. The woodland servant refused to say anything, and after thanking Zhou Qingfeng for his help, he left with the egg for a few days.
In the past few days, Zhou Qingfeng and the others have done nothing else, just making simple sleds. There were not many of them, and it was enough to make a dozen or so sleds. Now wait for the woodland servants to return, and the whole party can leave.
As for what to use to pull a sled? The woodland servants recruited a large number of wild wolves to Zhou Qingfeng. These ferocious beasts are as obedient as dogs in front of the woodland servants, and by putting the reins on them, they can ski quickly through the mountains and snow. As for the road to pass, it is completely controlled by the woodland servants, and there is no need for Zhou Qingfeng to bother at all.
With the arrangement of the woodland servants, Zhou Qingfeng decided to let Jia Gang and Abahai leave. He put Jia Gang's soul back in advance, and at the same time wished: "In the future, the mountains and rivers will be long, and we will see you again."
Jia Gang didn't look back, and only after he turned into smoke and escaped into the mountains did he reply: "Lao Tzu is unlucky, he is unlucky to meet you kid." When I see you in the future, I'll stay away. β
Hahaha.......
After laughing, Zhou Qingfeng sent Abahai away again.
Abahai didn't expect Zhou Qingfeng to say that he would let her go, and he didn't mean to leave her at all. When they broke up in front of a village controlled by the Ministry of Jianzhou, she stared at Zhou Qingfeng angrily and said, "You can think clearly." Now it's easy to put me down, but you bullied me and insulted me, I keep it in my heart, and I will definitely take revenge in the future. β
Zhou Qingfeng just laughed and rode a puppet goat into the mountains. After a while, his laughter came again, "It turns out that Lao Tzu is bigger than the wild boar skin, and Lao Tzu is more capable than the wild boar skin." If you want revenge, come! β
Abahai immediately cried angrily, she had been loved all her life, and no one had ever dared to treat her like this, and at this moment she scolded: "These men don't have a good thing. I thought about going with him, but he didn't want me. What is this taking me for? β
The maid accompanied Abahai to find the people of the Jianzhou Department, and the news of the concubine's rescue spread all the way to Hetuala. But Abahai did not immediately set out for his return, but 'fell ill.' After two months of recuperation, she slowly walked from the west until New Year's Day in 1616, when she reappeared outside the city of Hetuala, at the crossing of the Suzi River.
Five months ago, it was at this ferry port that Abahai also returned to Hetuara from outside, and when he was waiting for the ferry, he met the ghostly Zhou Qingfeng. Now the ferry has a pontoon bridge, and Abahai's carriage can pass directly, but she still deliberately asked people to stop when she passed by, and opened the window to look at the freight store at the ferry.
"Master, do you want to go down and have a look?" The personal maid looked at Abahai's expression differently, and probably understood why, so she stepped forward to ask.
Abahai immediately lowered the curtain and said coldly: "Don't go, I am the concubine of the Jianzhou Department, and today is the day of the founding of the Great Khan." Let's hurry into the city, so as not to delay the auspicious time. β
Abahai walked for two months, at first he was really sad, but then he was shocked to find that he didn't have his period that month. She was so frightened that she thought that some bad boy had planted it on her. It wasn't until she found out that her period was delayed because of her worries, and after another month and the second period was normal, she dared to return to Hetuala.
In the past two months, Abahai has been thinking about Zhou Qingfeng's bad boy every day. It wasn't until now that she returned to Hetuara that Nurhachi's figure reappeared in her mind. She kept repeating to herself in her heart: "I am the concubine of the Jianzhou Department, not the woman who is a bastard." I can't always think about the good of that kid, my real man is Nurhachi, not him. β
After repeatedly cheering himself up, Abahai mustered up the courage to go to Nurhachi. And just as she was about to enter the city when she returned to Hetuala, someone suddenly stopped her carriage and demanded a treasure.
"Offering treasures?" Abahai didn't even show his face in the carriage, frowned and ordered, "Transfer it to Erdeni to deal with." β
But the personal maid leaned up and whispered, "The one who offered the treasure is a carpenter who once went with us to Ehekulun, a servant named Mao Ada. β
Hearing the words 'Ekhkulun', Abahai's brows furrowed even deeper. She opened the window again, and saw a thin servant kneeling outside, with a pigtail of money rat tail and a strange-looking short bow in both hands.
Outside the car was Mao Ada, who escaped from Ekhkulen, and he was lucky enough to survive many adventures until now. He inquired today and learned that the eldest concubine returned to the city today, and deliberately blocked the road to offer treasures. At this moment, after he knelt down, he began to talk endlessly about the peculiarities of the bow in his hand.
"Master of the concubine, the slave was sent to Ehekulun to serve the concubine three months ago, I wonder if the concubine remembers? The minions suffered many times in Ekhkulun, but they also learned a secret art. The bow in my hand is called the 'Pulley Bow', and it is very ingenious and secret.
The original of the bow has been lost, and even two blueprints have been destroyed by the wicked. After I returned from Ekhkulen, I thought about it and tried it repeatedly, and finally rebuilt this bow. The magic of this bow is wonderful, and the concubine only needs to try it to know. β
Mao Ada's words kept talking, but Abahai didn't listen at all. Zhou Qingfeng's pulley bow has a peculiar appearance, and it is always with her, so it is strange that she doesn't know it. Seeing the bow with pulleys at both ends of the bow arm, she immediately remembered the time when she and Zhou Qingfeng were grinding their ears and temples, entangled day and night.
Thinking of Zhou Qingfeng, Abahai's heart was inexplicably sour. She not only coveted the pleasure that Zhou Qingfeng gave her, but also hated Zhou Qingfeng's ruthlessness in abandoning her, and then she heard what Mao Ada said that she had served herself in Ehekulun, and her face turned even bluer.
"This minion has seen me with Zhou Xiaozi." Abahai said this to his valet and rolled down the window and ordered the carriage to proceed.
The personal maid immediately understood, got off the carriage and greeted Mao A: "You slave is very loyal, come with me." β
Seeing the carriage go away, Mao Ada was still a little disappointed. But he also recognized Abahai's personal maid, and hurriedly stepped forward and nodded: "This sister, I am Mao Ada." We've met, I've worked on Zhou Xiaozi's construction site. My bow is really a treasure, I heard that the Great Khan founded the country today, so I want to ask the concubine to help dedicate it to the Great Khan. β
The personal maid just nodded repeatedly, as if in approval. But she did not enter the city, but led Mao Ah back to the ferry on the north bank of the Suzi River.
Back at this ferry, Mao Ada's body was uncomfortable. Here he sold his son and abandoned his wife here. When he saw the coolies, the foreman, and the overseer, he felt that everyone seemed to be staring at him.
"This sister, what are you bringing me to this ferry for? I'm really here to offer treasures, and if you don't believe me, I can try to show you. Mao Adada turned around and wanted to pull away the imitation pulley bow in his hand, "Minion, I have worked hard for this bow." β
After Mao Ada's words were spoken, he found that a short dagger had been stabbed directly into his chest. He was stunned ......., he didn't feel pain, he didn't feel anger, he only had doubts in his heart. He looked at Abahai's maid again, and tried to open his mouth, "I am a faithful servant, I only want to be rich, I really have come to offer treasures." β
The dagger was drawn, and Mao Ada's weakness fell, and no one listened to his words at all. He watched the maid's feet pass in front of his eyes, watched the bow he had painstakingly made being thrown into the river, and heard the maid call for the overseer to dump his body into a nearby mass grave. He stared at his eyes like a dead fish, wondering what was wrong with him?
It all started and ended at this crossing.
At this moment, outside Fushun Pass, heavy snow is falling.
Between the white heavens and the earth, a group of travelers who were struggling to move forward. Zhou Qingfeng rode his puppet goat to the wall again, and there were more than 20 people behind him, all of them. Everyone's winter clothes were covered with snowflakes, white breath exhaled from their mouths and noses, and even ice edges hung on them.
The wild wolves pulling the sled have changed dozens of times, and the roads in the mountains have run countless miles. In order to avoid the interception of the Jianzhou Department, the woodland servant took Zhou Qingfeng and the others to spend two months walking through the mountains and wilderness. Along the way, they ate and drank either by digging ice for fishing or by hunting wild beasts.
Now it's finally back.
Fushun Pass is also a part of the Great Wall of Liaodong, which was built by Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. But now the wall is in ruins and crumbling, like a mound of earth.
Looking at the black line of the Great Wall between the white sky and the earth, Zhou Qingfeng asked Cai Zhiwei, "What month and day is today?" β
"Today's ...... should be the first day of the Bingchen year."
"New Year's Day?"
"Yes."
"Ah......h Zhou Qingfeng sighed and turned his head to look eastward, looked in the direction of Hetuala, and whispered in his heart: "Today is the day of the establishment of the state of Nurhachi, and it is a pity in life that I didn't go to make trouble for him."
Cai Zhiwei didn't know why, and looked at Zhou Qingfeng curiously. Zhou Qingfeng suddenly talked about the woodland servant who had just separated from them and said, "I once asked that guy named Dumb, since there is a phoenix in the world, is there a dragon?" I thought it would say yes, but it said no. β
Cai Zhiwei was even more stunned, and he couldn't catch it at all.
"Dumb said that the dragon is 'antlers, hump head, rabbit eyes, snake neck, fish scales, ......', which is a divine object pieced together by our Han ancestors themselves, and it does not exist at all. The so-called 'True Dragon Son of Heaven' is just the name we give to our own emperor. I tried to refute but couldn't find the words, so I had to acquiesce. β
Zhou Qingfeng stared at the Great Wall in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Now our nation is about to face a catastrophe, but the country has been decayed, just like the Great Wall that has stood in the wind and rain for one or two hundred years, it used to be strong, mighty, and domineering, but today it can no longer stop the invasion of foreign races."
The leader of the alien race wants to come to be our 'true dragon son', what should we do?
Dumb said there are no dragons in this world. But I feel that every man in our Han family is a dragon. The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and it is time for us to do our best for our own bloodline inheritance. It's a dragon, it's a worm, let's compete on the battlefield! β
After Zhou Qingfeng finished speaking, he roared angrily in the vast world, his spirit was high, and he rode forward. Behind him, the team followed quickly, right and left.
The country will fall, Shenzhou will sink, and then .......
The man is as dead as iron, look at the test hand, and make up for the crack!
