Chapter Thirty-Eight: Things Come for a Reason

The book continued from the above, and the last book said that Hong Yuefei invited everyone to the largest restaurant in Cangsong Town, saying that he wanted to celebrate Tianxin and others, and thanked Tianxin and Wei Jinhong for their care and tolerance of Hongying. And Hong Ying called Burigude, who had just met in the ring, and it was logical that he sat at the same table as them. After three rounds of drinking, Bu Ri Gude and Hong Yue Fei had a fierce argument over the battle of Yin Mountain, and between the group of guns, Hong Yue Fei exposed the true identity of Bu Ri Gude. So it led to the fact that since ancient times, the battle has been as fierce as a tiger, each for its lord without hate, persuading the monarch to drink a glass of wine, and Songhe upstairs to resolve grievances.

Hong Yue Fei looked at Bu Rigude by name, where did he still have the drunkenness of the three rounds at this time, and he was very energetic. "I don't know what means you used to confuse A-Ying and ask her to help you hide it, but paper can't contain the fire, so you can catch it."

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the table was dumbfounded, and no one expected that what was supposed to be a happy dinner turned out to be a Hongmen banquet. Burigude frowned, he got up and wanted to grab the window and go out, but when he saw the Red Family Army downstairs, he stopped and turned to Hong Yue Feidao. "You Han people are really cunning, and you even use your sister as bait."

"Then I'm afraid you're wrong to blame Hong." Hong Yue Fei poured the wine in the cup and signaled to Bu Rigude to be restless. "Come on, this wine hasn't been eaten yet, don't be stunned."

Burigud snorted coldly and returned to his seat. "What do you want?"

"I should ask you this sentence." Hongyue Fei meant something.

Burigude's eyes narrowed slightly, could it be that their actions this time leaked the news. Impossible, it must be Hong Yuefei who wants to deceive him. "I don't understand what you're saying."

"On the tenth day of the first month of this month, the Empress Dowager sent the Sanqing Hall to pray for blessings in Qianshan, presumably this person knows the news, and the prince should not know it." Hong Yue Fei drank the wine and looked at Bu Rigude with a smile.

"You want to assassinate the Empress Dowager?" Hongying slapped the table. "No wonder there are so many Mongolian people who have appeared in Cangsong Town recently, presumably the Mongolian pharmacy in the fairy market is also your accomplice?"

"Yes, since you have seen through it, I have nothing to hide." Břiggud sneered. "If you want to kill or chop, listen to it, but if you want me to be a goshawk in the desert, I will be caught, don't even think about it!"

"It's so good, I want to see how the kung fu of the legendary first warrior of the Mongolian clan is!" Hong Yue Fei instantly became interested.

"Hmph, don't shout if you lose later!" Burigude was also unambiguous, and the two were tense and on the verge of breaking out.

Hongying saw that the two of them were fighting to the death, and suddenly became anxious. On one side is her own brother, and on the other side is this nasty ghost Burigud, none of them is injured by what she wants to see. But she couldn't persuade the two of them, so she could only stare dryly.

"The two of you have something to say, we came to eat and drink to celebrate, but now it has become a Hongmen feast. As the owner, doesn't Big Brother Hong want to say something? Li Tianxin unhurriedly filled the cups of Hong Yue Fei and Bu Rigude. If you have any grievances, do you have to wait until we are full and drunk before we do it? ”

"It's Hong's negligence." Hong Yue Fei sat down a little and looked at Li Tianxin, who didn't have much meat.

Bu Rigude didn't expect Li Tianxin to come forward to mediate, he knew that the current situation would do him no harm, and he didn't act rashly.

"Tianxin is still young, a cloth cloth, has never experienced any war, and does not understand any national hatred and family hatred. But I know that when the country is in trouble, it is the responsibility of the husband, and there is nothing wrong with each of you being your own master and seeking your own way. Li Tianxin paused. In the humble opinion of heaven, the soldiers face each other, and it is the people of Li who suffer. If what Bu Rigude said just now was true, they were just for a living, and they couldn't do it, and as Brother Hong said, the Han was open-minded and generous. The so-called remedies for the dead are not too late, so why not turn the war into a jade silk? ”

"What you said is light, what about those people whose bones are not cold and whose families are ruined?" Hong Yuefei obviously disagreed with Li Tianxin's statement. "How am I going to give them an account?"

"General Hong, what you have explained to them is a homeland without gunpowder. If the Han and the Mongols go to war again, then their hometown will once again become a battlefield and a purgatory on earth. Those who have been reunited with great difficulty may be separated and displaced again. A scarred home could be worse again. At that time, in the face of so many possibilities, what kind of explanation do you have to give them? Li Tianxin is heartfelt, she knows that the Red Family Army has always been loyal to the country and protects the safety of the people as its own responsibility. Now that she's buttoning such a hat to him, he's sure he'll think about it too.

Hong Yuefei was dumbfounded for a while, he understood what Li Tianxin said, but he wasn't sure how true or false what Bu Rigude said. Moreover, this war was provoked by the Mongols, even if the Han is willing to make a gesture, those Mongols must appreciate it.

Li Tianxin seemed to see Hong Yuefei's worry, she lowered her head and poured herself another glass of wine, and asked Bu Rigude casually. "What do you Mongols think, that you can be the lord of your father's king?"

When Bu Rigude heard Li Tianxin mention his father, his face became even more ugly. Now his father is trapped by his uncle Sanchi, and his life and death are uncertain. And how did he become the master of the Mongolian people.

"You don't keep quiet, you want your people to suffer?" Li Tianxin paused, and hit the nail on the head. "Or do you have something unspeakable?"

"I..." Buzhigude was in a dilemma, on the one hand, he was afraid that he would expose his hole cards, and on the other hand, he really did not want to conflict again, but all the status quo had forced him to a desperate situation, and he had to do something in Dahan, so that he could go back to the desert to negotiate with Sanji.

"You have something to say, I am not a villain who takes advantage of people's danger." Hong Yuefei saw the forbearance of Buri Gude, and became more and more sure that this battle was not so simple, because according to the officers and soldiers who were defending the city at that time, as early as the day before the massacre of the city, there was a person with suspicious behavior who sent a letter to the defenders not far from Jiahe Town, saying that a catastrophe had fallen from heaven and told them to be prepared. They thought they were crazy, so they didn't pay much attention to it, which led to the tragedy.

"If you have anything unspeakable, just say it. I, Changning Hongying, will be your guarantor, if my eldest brother is not good for you at that time, I will give my life to protect you from leaving. Hongying's eyes were clear and her eyes were firm.

Burigude looked at Hongying, and then at the wolf tooth pendant around her neck, he came to this Songhe Tower with them, but he wanted to have more contact with her, and find a time to confirm Chixue's matter with her, but now he has become a prisoner ridiculously. No wonder my father always said that people who do great things should not be too affectionate.

"Personally, I think it's better for you to say it, anyway, your current situation, there is no possibility of escaping, it's better to explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly, maybe there is still a glimmer of life." Li Tianxin took a piece of glutinous rice lotus root with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. "This lotus root looks the outside, but it's full of holes on the inside."

"In that case, please listen to me in detail." Burigud raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, and he had a great posture of letting go. "I won't hide it from you, this war, our Chaha tribe is also forced to helpless."

"Out of desperation?" Hong Yue Fei raised his eyebrows. "When our Red Family Army arrived in Jiahe Town, it was obvious that they were all members of your tribe and were resisting, so we were forced to say it out of desperation..."

"It's ridiculous to say that we told the tribes at that time that we would only rob food and property, and not hurt people's lives. But my uncle, Sanchi, and the tribes with whom he was befriended suddenly changed their minds, and turned a good town into hell—" Břigud sighed. "My father knows that the Han will never stop there, so he let the other tribes break through first, and our Chaha tribe will break back. It stands to reason that your later Red Family Army also put this account on our heads. ”

"Since you have fled back to the desert, why do you still take the risk of coming to Cangsong Town to assassinate the Empress Dowager?" Hong Yue Fei was puzzled. "Is it revenge? Or what? ”

"Our trip is not for assassination, but to kidnap the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty." Thinking that his father was still in Sanchi's hands, Břigud's brow tightened. "Kidnap her, and we will have a bargaining chip to return to the desert and negotiate with Sanchi."

"Chips?" Li Tianxin heard the stakes. "You mean, your uncle he..."

"Yes, my uncle Sanji has always sowed discord among the ministries and eyed my father's throne. This time, he took advantage of our retreat to the Yinshan Canyon and ambushed us there. We were already badly injured, and we were weak, and my father let a small group of elites protect me to escape, and his life and death are still unknown. Burigud pulled a letter out of his shirt and handed it to Hongying. Some time ago, Sanji wrote to me and told me about your Empress Dowager's prayer for blessings in Qianshan, and he said that if I tied her back, he would consider releasing my father and my people. ”

"Your uncle clearly wants to kill your father and you, even if you really kidnap the Empress Dowager, do you think he will give you a chance to live?" Hongying slapped the letter on the table.

"I don't have a choice, it's the only chance." Burigud's eyes were firm.

"Did your tribe send someone to report to the surrounding defenders?" Hong Yue Fei looked at Burigude steadily.

"That person is me, because in the previous robberies, there were also injuries that occurred, but they were all severely punished by my father. Sanji took the opportunity to incitement the morale of the army, making the Mongols more and more hostile to the Han Chinese. When my father saw that something was wrong, he sent me to inform the defenders around you in case of any mishaps. ”

"Why did your father help the Han people?"

"In the early years, when our tribe moved south for the winter, it was the local Han people who accepted us, gave us food, and taught me some basic knowledge of farming. At that time, my father was not the leader of the steppe, and the other tribe had been trying to annex us, so they sent people to kidnap me in order to blackmail my father, and later someone came to the rescue. Burigud said this, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, he looked at Hongying, and stopped talking. Later, I fled to Tongjiang Pass, where the Han Chinese took me in, and finally the local Han garrison sent me home. Therefore, my father has always remembered the kindness of the Han people. ”

"Then your father became the Great Khan, why didn't he come and make friends with us?"

"It must be because of his uncle, after all, not all Mongolians like Han people, as if not all Han people accept Mongolians." Li Tianxin picked up another piece of stinky mandarin fish. "When you look at the stinky mandarin fish, some people dislike it, but I think it's a delicacy in the world. But when most people resisted, I had to give up eating it. ”

"Now you know, that's what I'm frustrating. I know it's not an excuse to offend, so whatever you want, feel free to do with it. "Břigud was disheartened, knowing that he was powerless to return to heaven, and he had no life.

Hong Yuefei thought for a moment, and he suddenly said, "If I say that I can help you, are you willing to believe it?" ”
