Noble, never coerced.

In front of a person of conscience, it will not work to sell one's evil deeds in exchange for benefits.

In addition to narrating his evil deeds, Jing Xin is more about promoting his prestige and power on the grassland, hoping that Yan Qingge can treat him as a usable person and open up the net.

But what Yan Qingge heard in his ears was not how he had status as he talked about quietly, but what he used to exchange for those among the barbarians.

trafficking women, communicating abroad, smuggling and reselling, colluding with Yan Shuyu and the four princes to stop and kill Le Yi......

And that's just the tip of the iceberg, and there are only more evil things he doesn't say.

Those so-called glory and wealth are all stained with the blood and tears of others.

"Where did Le Xuan get caught by you?" Yan Qingge couldn't listen to it and showed off again, so he asked categorically.

Jing Xin flinched for a moment, and said resignedly: "This time it is the Eji Department that is dispatched, and they have the best relationship with Cailiangren." ”

"Why!" Yan Qingge said.

"The leader of the Eji tribe has agreed with Cailiang that when the great things of Cailiang are completed in the future, he will send Ha Nazhu, a traitor, back to Eji and let Eji be disposed of."

After listening to this, Yan Qingge couldn't help but sneer in his heart. In the palace, Ha Na Joo and Cai Liangren are a pair of "good friends" that are obvious to all, but in private, the relationship is so bad. People who are embarrassed for a little petty profit will always fight for other petty profits.

Under Yan Qingge's questioning, Jing Xin told the plan to attack Le Yi and kidnap Le Xuan little by little.

After figuring out everything, Yan Qingge stood up and said, "Lock him up, take care of him!" ”

Years of pampering and pampering have long made Jing Xin a boneless worm, even if Yan Qingge doesn't tell him, he doesn't dare to commit suicide or flee.

Outside the door, the wind and snow increased again at some point, and the north wind blew a large snowflake, hitting Yan Qingge's face, cutting her skin painfully.

"Seek frost, tell the stables to prepare the horses." Yan Qingge instructed Xunshuang, and then turned his head to look at Wenxue: "You go and inform the generals we brought from the capital, let them get ready, and set off with me in a while." ”

"Miss, where are you going?" Xunshuang and Wenxue were surprised.

"Go and save people." Yan Qingge looked up at the dark sky.

According to Jing Xin, the people of the Eji Department captured Le Xuan in order to unite the twenty-five tribes on the grassland to attack Yuhu City together, and threaten Yuhu City to open an impregnable city gate with Le Xuan as a hostage.

Now that they have not united, it is relatively difficult to rescue Le Xuan. If they join forces, it will be too late.

"Miss, there are guards in Yuhu City, if there is anything, just ask them to go, why should you risk your life!" Xun Shuang and Wen Xue persuaded Yan Qingge, and their hearts were extremely anxious.

Yan Qingge shook his head: "Sending troops and transferring generals, how can it be so simple." If you wait for these officials to leave, they will not be able to catch up. ”

"Miss, try it! In the end, it was Le Gongzi who was taken away, and our uncle was seriously injured like that, and the local military generals were afraid that they would not dare to sit idly by. Xunshuang looked at Yan Qingge expectantly, gritted his teeth and said, "If the mother doesn't want to go, Xunshuang will ask herself." ”

Yan Qingge saw that she was sincere, and his heart was slightly relieved: "Don't go, the powerful person of Calling Yuefu hurriedly asked, if you can catch up with us, you will go together, if you can't catch up with us, you can't tell them to follow." ”

Now in the heavy snow, the road is difficult to walk, the cold is biting, and knowing that there are rescuers behind is still quite helpful to cheer people.

Xunshuang and Wenxue finally settled down and rushed to their respective errands.

Yan Qingge took this opportunity to hurriedly go back to his home.

The two children got up early and played with Leliang. Le Liang didn't know that his father and brother had an accident, and he was carried to Yan Qingge's side early in the morning.

Aman is the best at coquettishness, and when he saw Yan Qingge, he screwed it up like kraft candy, hugged her leg and didn't let go. Yan Qingge tore him off his skirt, handed it to the nurse, and while walking inside, he unloaded the hairpin ring: "Come and comb my hair, make them tighter, tie them on the top of my head, and then wrap them." ”

After a while, she changed into a light windbreaker with outer skin and inner fur that she wore for winter hunting, and piled up her cloak, handguards, hat, scarf, and so on, and then took a dagger with a golden and jade handle, and carried it in her bosom, and carefully picked up some fire folds, salt, and chilblain ointment, and other things, bits and pieces, which added up to a lot, wrapped in a package, and tied diagonally on her back.

"Mother, where are you going?" Yan Wan'er asked.

"Mother goes out to do something, you are obedient at home, don't make noise. You take your brother with you, don't make trouble with him, do you hear? Yan Qingge said.

Yan Wan'er looked at Yan Qingge, then at Aman, hugged him in front of her, and said expectantly: "Mother will take me and my brother together." ”

"It's too cold for you to go." As she spoke, she strode out the door, and disappeared in front of it in a moment.

Yan Wan'er in the house had been enduring it, and as soon as Yan Qingge went out, she burst into tears. Le Liang stepped forward to coax her: "What are you crying about, my father is often away from home for many days, and I don't cry." ”

Yan Wan'er burst into tears: "I haven't even seen my father." ”

Shut up what Le Liang said all of a sudden, and could only watch Yan Wan'er shed tears.

Yan Qingge didn't know what was happening in the house, she strode and arrived near the stable in a while.

There were more than 200 generals and martial arts generals who were escorted by the Yanwang Mansion at the beginning, and they had already assembled, and they were standing nearby, some picking horses, some talking to each other, and when they saw Yan Qingge coming, they were suddenly silent, waiting for orders.

Yan Qingge saw that they were ready to go, but he still couldn't let go, and ordered loudly: "This time we are going to the grassland to intercept people, and the target is the Eji Department among the barbarians. Some of you have fought with the little prince in the grassland, and you should know that Ejibe is a difficult bone to gnaw! If any of you will spare your life and will not go with me, let me stay, I will not say anything. ”

"I wish to go with my mother!" The men shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky, shaking the snow from the stables to the ground.

Yan Qingge's heart was fluttering for a while, and his eyes were slightly hot.

Of the thirty soldiers who escorted Le Yi back before, only three survived. Of the more than 200 people she brought, I don't know how many of them have to be buried in the grassland.

At this time, a tall barbarian came out of the stable and said to Yan Qingge in the unskilled Great Zhou dialect: "Niangniang, the horses here are not good, not enough!" I have to go to the big horse farm in the suburbs to get horses, where they are all good horses, resistant to frost, eat less, and go far. ”

This barbarian is one of the barbarians who belong to the Great Zhou, and he has a lot of experience in raising horses, and he is a trustworthy person, so he will be found by Lejia to take care of his own horses.

Yan Qingge did not doubt that he had him, and bowed his head to him: "Please ask this strong man to take us to pick up horses." ”

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, Yan Qingge still understands this truth.

In the current stables, most of the horses are pack horses that they pull when they come from the capital, although they have good endurance, but their legs are short and short, they are not frost-resistant, and they run slowly, and it is a big trouble to get to the snow, which is not as good as the local horses in Qingzhou.

They were about to leave the city, and a large group of people arrived at the suburban horse farm.

On the outskirts of Yuhu City, large areas of fertile grassland are enclosed and tens of thousands of horses are grazing.

It's winter, and the tamed horses are all in the stables, keeping warm next to each other.

The owner of the horse farm and the barbarians who led Yan Qingge and others were old acquaintances, and when they heard that the people of Yuefu wanted to use horses, they let them in without saying a word.

Just picking up the horse, a barbarian came outside, and said anxiously: "Dare to ask if there is Princess Ning inside, and General Wubei of Yuhu City asks to see her." ”

Yan Qingge had already picked a pure black horse, and when he heard someone asking to see him, he hurriedly went out, only to see that on the snow outside, hundreds of cavalry were waiting in battle, and the leader was a man wearing cold iron armor.

The man held his helmet under his armpit, saw Yan Qingge, jumped off the horse, and made a big salute.

Yan Qingge hurriedly helped him up and said, "General, don't be polite!" ”

"The end will be late, and the last general will know that Lord Le has an accident, and this time he will save people, but by the orders of his mother."

Yan Qingge groaned, her own martial arts were okay, but she really didn't have much research on leading troops to fight. And most importantly, this garrison general of Yuhu City must be more familiar with the situation and terrain of the surrounding tribes.

"The general doesn't have to be polite, the matter of saving people depends on the general's contribution." Yan Qingge did not hide it, and told the garrison general all the news revealed by the Jingxin monk caught at home.

When the garrison general heard this, his face was shocked.

These barbarians used to attack the city, and they always had no rules, and they would loot when they lacked food and clothing, but now they have the traitors of the Great Zhou Dynasty as military advisors, and they are becoming more and more vicious.

If it weren't for Yan Qingge seeing the opportunity to act this time, catching the monk, asking about their plan, and really asking them to coerce Le Xuan to come to the city to force the door, no matter what they do, Yuhu City would not have gained more than it gained.

At this moment, he didn't dare to shirk politely, hugged his fist at Yan Qingge, and took this task next.

All the horsemen on the other side had finished picking up the horses, mounted new horses, and joined the four hundred horsemen brought by the garrison general.

With an order, the horses entered the torrent, submerged into the snow-white earth, and the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves knocked on the snow, like a sharp knife breaking through the plain silk, straight into the grassland!

Yan Qingge hadn't galloped like this for a long time, but she quickly regained her senses, she leaned down slightly on the horse's back, and let the horse gallop with her.

After a long time, the leading horses gradually slowed down, and the rest of the horses slowed down.

Yan Qingge raised his head, only to see that a shallow glacier appeared in front of him, and the snow on the river surface had somehow disappeared, leaving only a shiny ice surface, like a winding jewel belt.

Not far behind the river, there is a hillock buried in snow, which looks like a mountain but not a mountain.

The general of Wubei in front turned back the horse's head, pointed at the glacier with a horsewhip, and said to Yan Qingge: "Niangniang, in front is the hiding place of the Eji Department that the meditation monk said. It was originally a gold-producing mine, and most of it was dug down, and there were many mines inside, and you led the troops to guard it outside, and we went in to search the mountain. ”
