The previous life and this life are actually the same, before Shen Tong was brought to the Tao family by Rong Niang, she lived in Liujiawan, Xin Wu lived in Wild Boar Ridge, her name was Tongtong, and Xin Wu was called Sister Tong.

She was taken away by the Dead Soldiers Camp after drinking the cold food, and Xin Wu also went to the Dead Soldiers Camp.

In this life, Shen Tong didn't drink the cold food, let alone enter the dead camp, so Xin Wu didn't go either.

Shen Tong told the flatbread that everything else could be put aside first, and you must keep an eye on Xinyu.

And at this time, a small and small event happened in the Qin Palace.

When the county lord of Yining learned that Zhou Zheng was going to Guanwai, he went to see the king of Qin and volunteered to go in place of his brother.

King Qin refused.

But the county lord of Yining is not impulsive, let alone wants to grandstand.

She was raised under the knees of Princess Qin, and even if King Qin had other daughters in the future, she would be younger than her, and she could not be compared with her in terms of affection.

Especially now, she is still the only daughter of King Qin, there is no need for her to be grandstanding, she really wants to replace her brother.

The father now has only one son, the third brother.

Yu Da, even if he has a son in the future, he will have to wait another ten or twenty years to become his father's right-hand man.

When she was young, her father could no longer lose her son, and she could no longer lose her brother.

The third brother can't make a mistake, and she is different, she is just a small county lord, whether it is Tartar or Yang Qin, what they want is the head of the third brother, not her.

At the critical moment, the third brother has no way to retreat, and she can still die.

The county lord of Yining thought so, and she did the same.

With the experience in Yulin, coupled with the lingering dream, the county lord of Yining understood more and more that his father and brother did not belong only to her and the palace, they belonged to the northwest, belonged to the people of the northwest, and belonged to the Western Qin army.

They were the king first, then the descendants of Taizu, and finally her father and brother.

King Qin didn't refuse, he smiled and said to Yi Ning: "Father knows, you want to relieve your father's worries, but your father hasn't made a decision on this matter yet, once your father has made a decision and needs your help, your father will definitely discuss it with you." ”

Although this was to coax her daughter, the county lord of Yining was very happy, and she happily said to Shen Tong: "My father no longer treats me as a child, he said that he will discuss with me." ”

Shen Tong listened with a smile, she liked Yining very much now, but she also knew that even if King Qin agreed to let his daughter go to Yanbei, Zhou Zheng would not agree.

But Zhou Zheng's trip to Yanbei is indeed very dangerous.

A Qingdao man once proposed that Xiao Ren lead a team of soldiers and horses to ambush, although this idea is very unfeasible, but it is very necessary.

When he saw Xiao Ren again, Shen Tong asked, "You went to pass the customs, what is it like over there?"

Xiao Ren gave her a fox fur cloak, and that leather was made by him outside the gate.

"At that time, there was chaos outside the pass, after the accident of King Yan, the prince of Yan Wang, who was hostage in the capital, also died of illness, Yang Qin took over the Yanbei Army, you may have heard that there is a Tartar army under the command of the Yanbei Army, they are the division of tigers and wolves, and the main force of the Yanbei Army, they only listen to the Yan King alone, Yang Qin can not mobilize them at all. So a trap was set, and the commander of the Tartar army either died or was convicted, and the rest of the Tartar army, who fled from the dead, disappeared almost overnight. ”

Xiao Ren paused when he said this, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I was still young at that time, I didn't believe that so many people in the Tartar Army would disappear all at once, I guess they must be hiding, I wanted to find them and use them for the prince's use, so I took a few people and quietly went to the gate." ”

What the consequences were, Shen Tong also guessed.

Of course, Xiao Ren did not find the Tartar army, but he persuaded the Tartar civilians who opened a horse farm outside the pass to let them drive the horse farm to the northwest, and he also brought back the butcher's family.

"The people outside the customs are fierce, there are many bandits, and when King Yan was still there, it is said that there were not so many bandits. After the death of King Yan, there were many soldiers in the Yanbei army who fled into the mountains and became bandits, so there were more and more bandits, and their abilities were not comparable to ordinary bandits. Xiao Ren said.

"The Tartar army is all Tartars, how did they end up under the command of King Yan?" Shen Tong asked curiously.

"During the Taizu period, he defeated the three tribes of the Tartars and set up the Three Davids outside the pass, and the place where the Three Davids were located was the place where the three tribes once gathered. The Tartars were nomadic people, and when they lost their territory, they fled to other places, and a few years later, they made a comeback, and the three Davids were defeated, and there were many Tartar civilians living in the area, and they took advantage of this opportunity to rise up one after another. Emperor Taizu sent King Yan to go out to quell the rebellion and recover the lost land, which is why King Yan has fiefs inside and outside the pass, and the Tartar army was formed at that time, among them there are purebred Tartars, and some people are the descendants of the Tartars and the Han people, many years of war, the Tartars and the Han people outside the Saiwai are all poor people, they are all orphans, suffering, the King of Yan let them eat military food, so that they are no longer enslaved and bullied, the military camp is their home, and the King of Yan is their benefactor. ”

Xiao Ren sighed: "When I grow up, I will figure it out, even if I find them that time, they will not come to the northwest with me, King Qin is not King Yan." ”

"What about the current King of Yanbei?" Shen Tong asked, "Although he is the second son, he is the only descendant of King Yan. ”

"He is not the only descendant of King Yan, King Yan also has two daughters from side concubines. But they were the same as the king of Yanbei, they were all young when the king of Yan died. Since then, he has been raised in the palace, not seeing the light of day, frightened, and it is said that he is the same as the king of Yanbei County, with a cowardly personality and a timid personality. Xiao Ren said.

Shen Tong was embarrassed, King Yan, who was known for his bravery and fierceness in the past, would never have thought that after his death, his children and his army would end up like this.

Xiao Ren seemed to guess what Shen Tong was thinking, and he said: "You can't blame King Yan for not taking precautions, he was not yet thirty years old when he died, and his son was thirteen years old, far away in the capital, and he died soon after." Yan Di bitter cold, Princess Yan gave birth to a son, even gave birth to two sons all died before term, the current King of Yanbei County is actually the fourth son, not from Princess Yan, when King Yan and the son died, he was only four or five years old, and the other two daughters were younger, even if King Yan made arrangements before his death, the young King of Yanbei County could not fight against Yang Qin, not to mention the Yang family and the Queen Mother behind Yang Qin. ”

King Yan and the prince died one after another, the princess first lost her husband, and lost her only son, it is said that the news of the death of the prince spread to Yanbei, and the princess fell to the ground and went that night.
