Autumn turned to winter, and overnight, the bare trees were covered with thick snow, and the Jade Lake began to freeze.

The small island where the Yan army is stationed ushers in the most dangerous time of the year.

The ice on the surface of the water is more than a meter thick, and it cannot be chiseled or broken, and they have no advantage of being a natural barrier with the lake shore.

Fortunately, the ice surface is smooth, and many fierce big animals are hibernating again, and the only thing they need to watch out for is the Northern Barbarian cavalry that will appear on the shore of Jade Lake every once in a while for the past six months, and the wolves that are hungry and foraging for food.

Strange to say, in the past six months, there have been more and more barbarians wandering on the shores of Jade Lake, and the scale has become larger and larger.

Last time, thousands of riders roared past the shore of the Jade Lake, staying for dozens of days, so that they didn't dare to raise a fire for half a month, so they could only lie dormant on the island, living on cold food.

The Northern Barbarians don't like water, but they always come here, which is really weird.

For the safety of the island in the lake, they never killed the barbarians nearby, and even if they were so careful, did they attract the attention of the barbarians?

Regarding the abnormal behavior of the barbarians, Le Xuan was also puzzled.

After thinking about it, he decided to send envoys to several places he knew about the Great Zhou army to inquire about the situation.

A few days later, the messenger returned to the island, and with the reply letter, Le Xuan immediately summoned several directors of the island to discuss the military situation.

It turned out that just a few days ago, the Northern Barbarian Court was in turmoil, the most outstanding prince of the Northern Barbarian Court died, and dozens of sons of the Northern Barbarian King fought for the right to inherit the throne.

One of the most eye-catching heirs, from the Erlan tribe, is the prince of the Northern Barbarian King who gave birth to a woman of a different race at some point, and even the Northern Barbarian King doesn't remember it.

This prince of impure blood is extremely good, not only led the Erlan tribe to develop and grow, becoming one of the largest tribes on the grassland, but also extremely talented in warfare, in just a few months, he killed more than a dozen brothers, and led the troops to the royal court.

His name was Qiu Wei, and he was called the King of Qiu Wei by the people of the various tribes of the grassland.

I heard that the leader of the Erlan tribe has the intention of forcing the Northern Barbarian King to step down and personally sit in the royal court, and many tribes are already planning to attach themselves to him!

After reading the information, everyone's hearts couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: This Qiu Wei is really a character.

Yan Qingge was full of ignorance, before she was reborn, she had never heard of the Northern Barbarian Prince called Qiu Wei, only the King of Jingwei.

And after the death of King Jingwei, the Northern Barbarian Royal Court fell apart in the civil strife, and there was no Qiu Wei who stepped forward to integrate the various departments. The more he thought about it, the more strange Yan Qingge felt.

However, the facts were in front of her, and she couldn't help but believe it.

"What do you think? The letter also said that this Qiu Wei was a very majestic and strategic man, and he trained a cavalry team, which used the saddles, stirrups, and hooves used by our Great Zhou talents, and was invincible in battle. In July, he also asked the prince to take his concubine to Yuhu City and exchange a lot of gold for it. His various deeds show that he is very different from ordinary northern barbarians. Le Xuan calmly analyzed.

"The northern barbarians are afraid of water, but the northern barbarians are always wandering around the Jade Lake, could it be that this hill is the order?" Yan Qingge asked on a whim.

"Possibly." Le Xuan glanced at Yan Qingge approvingly.

This praise is half because Yan Qingge's conjecture is very accomplished, and half because of Yan Shuyu's current image.

She has resumed her women's dress, wearing a light green cotton skirt and cotton jacket, because she pays attention to maintenance and stops practicing martial arts, the muscle lines on her body have softened a lot, and her skin has changed from black and dark honey to a faint light honey color, and in a few months, she may be as white as ever.

The only thing that hasn't changed is her eyes that are too bright and her height that can't be retracted.

"Damn! This Northern Barbarian King can give birth, Mr. has a spirit, and he has reborn a hill! Zhou Jiaotou slapped his leg and scolded dissatisfiedly.

"He gave birth to so many sons, there are always one or two who have the ability." Cao Yan said: "The Northern Barbarians respect and despicable regardless of status, all women are collectively referred to as queens, and there are more than 30 queens with names and surnames in the Northern Barbarian King, plus his other women, and the sons born are all over the grassland. ”

A few people discussed, and the final result was not to provoke Qiu Wei easily, to investigate information diligently, and to survive the winter. This also means that most of this winter, they will have to live on cold food. Fortunately, they saved a lot of charcoal in the summer and autumn, and lit it in the camp tent, so that heating would not cause any problems.

At this time, the Northern Barbarian Royal Court was even more difficult than the life of everyone on the small island of Yuhu.

The royal court of the Northern Barbarians did not have much architecture, and people were still used to living in tents.

However, the specifications of the tents here are very different from the tents outside.

The most conspicuous is undoubtedly the tent of the Northern Barbarian King.

His tent is tens of meters high, occupies a circle of several miles, the support in the tent is all tall whole strange wood and fragrant wood, the outside tent is sewn with all kinds of colorful animal skins, the king's tent is decorated with a large number of gold and silver jewelry, the ground is paved with a whole piece of gold bricks, and all the utensils are made of gold and silver.

No matter how hot the summer day is, it is cool in the king's tent.

In winter, the water drips into ice, and in order to make the king's tent warmer, the hundreds of charcoal stoves in the king's tent must all be lit.

As long as the king of the Northern Barbarians wants, there will immediately appear in the king's tent many dancers, musicians, and servants who have been looted from all over the world to entertain him, and the best wine, delicacies, and beautiful treasures are the most lacking in the king's tent.

Such a big royal tent, but only the Northern Barbarian King lived, even his most beloved queen, and he was not qualified to spend the night here.

Tonight's king's tent is no longer as lively and warm as usual.

The Northern Barbarian King was curled up on a huge golden bed, his blue eyes full of violence.

The news that Qiu Wei led a large army and attacked all the way towards the royal court made him unhappy.

He was fifty years old, and he was no longer young—at least for the Northern Barbarians, who ruled their tribes by bravery.

The Northern Barbarians are like wolves on the grassland, when the first wolf is old, there will be a young wolf to take his place. Back then, in order to sit on the throne of the Northern Barbarian King, he was not much better than what Qiu Wei is doing now.

However, he was not reconciled!

Which woman did he give birth to?

The more he thought about it, the fierceness in the heart of the Northern Barbarian King became more intense.

According to those who have seen Qiu Wei, Qiu Wei's appearance is like that of a god descending from heaven to earth, and in order to see his black eyes, countless young girls in the tribe would rather betray their fiancés. The most famous beauty on the grassland, Ha Na Zhu, is said to have died for him after seeing Qiu Yan's appearance. This henna pearl was originally the fiancée of Jingjing.

Which woman gave birth to him? The Northern Barbarian King suddenly sat up and roared loudly: "Bring them all to me!" Bring all of them! ”

A trembling old guard came out from behind the golden bed, knelt on the ground, and asked, "O king, please calm your anger." Whoever you want to see, I'll bring them at once. ”

"Those black-eyed women!" The Northern Barbarian King said sharply.

The guard immediately understood what the Northern Barbarian King meant, and he stepped backwards and walked out.

Although it was late at night, all the black-eyed women of the right age who had been favored by the Northern Barbarian King were arrested.

Most of these women are no longer faceless, in their thirties and forties.

Seeing more than thirty women kneeling on the ground, the Northern Barbarian King shook his head for a while, he was really young and strong back then, and he patronized so many women.

"Qiu Wei, who of you gave birth to it!" The Northern Barbarian King asked, squinting his eyes.

The women below trembled.

There are not many black-eyed people in the Northern Barbarians, most of them are alien women who were robbed by the Northern Barbarian King back then, but most of them are Great Zhou people.

After they were caught, they were treated as lowly slave girls, and the Northern Barbarian King treated them only as a spring breeze, how could they conceive a child.

Seeing that no one admitted it, the Northern Barbarian King shouted angrily: "Hang them all for me!" Hang this group of women who refuse to tell the truth! Hang! ”

"Spare us, king!" The women burst into tears.

However, the Northern Barbarian King would not be merciful because of their cries.

Three days later, the Northern Barbarian King received a shocking news that he had heard that the Northern Barbarian King had hanged Qiu Wei's mother, so his two sons decided to attach themselves to Qiu Wei and overthrow their arrogant and violent father. Qiu Wei's team has grown even stronger.

Because of the Beiban system, some queens of the Beiban King will follow their sons to leave the Beiban King after their sons grow up. The mother of these two sons has long been away from the Northern Barbarian King, and even if the angry Northern Barbarian King wants to punish these two sons, there is no way.

Soon, the army overwhelmed the border, and the Northern Barbarian King sat on the high golden throne, his expression full of madness.

"King! My great King, let us go. The guard knelt in front of the throne and bitterly persuaded the motionless Northern Barbarian King.

He had a cold crown of pure gold on his head, a scepter of pure gold and gems in his hand, and his face was as solemn as marble.

The shouts of killing are getting closer.

The royal court has no city walls at all, it is so abruptly and proudly built on the grassland, and it is too easy to attack it.

Suddenly, the curtain of the king's tent was split open by a sharp sword, and the sunlight shone into the dim king's tent, which had not seen light all day.

Against the light, the Northern Barbarian King only saw a tall and majestic figure standing.

The man was holding a long sword and approached closer and closer.

He was dressed in a leather jacket, holding a long sword, and wearing a rough mask made of black iron on his face, with no facial features and only a pair of black eyes.

It was a pair of very dark and very good-looking black eyes, and the Northern Barbarian King seemed to see a galaxy flowing in it for a moment.

"You're here!" The Northern Barbarian King stood up and said slowly.

This son, he has not seen.

"I'm coming." The man said.

"Let me see your face." The Northern Barbarian King said, in the tone of a king.

The man didn't care, took off the black iron mask on his face, and an incomparably handsome face met the eyes of the Northern Barbarian King.

The Northern Barbarian King looked at that face greedily, this face was not like him, it must be like his mother. It turned out that when he was young, he actually slept with such a beautiful woman.

He knew that today he would die, but he did not regret it, because he had tasted the best wine, ridden the strongest horse, and slept with the most beautiful man......

The handsome-faced master approached closer and closer with his sword in hand, and the Northern Barbarian King closed his eyes and waited for death to come. Eventually, he only tightened his wrist, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the man was putting hemp rope on him.

"My son, what are you doing?" The Northern Barbarian King was confused.

Najun smiled: "Who is your son!" Lao Wang Ba, I want to take advantage of the master! The master is from the Great Zhou! ”
