"Ehe, the little girl of the Nine Ladies is inside."

Qi Qige's voice came from outside the tent, and Huo Roufeng straightened her hair and sat up from the woolen blanket.

Xiao Ye lifted the sheepskin curtain, and Qi Qige helped Yan Niang and walked in.

Seeing Huo Roufeng, Qi Qige said very seriously: "It's not that I want to come back, it's Ehe who wants me to come with me." ”

Huo Roufeng was in a hurry, and Yan Niang patted her daughter's head dotingly and scolded: "Did you run to Jiu Niangzi to be naughty?" ”

Qiqige shook his head like a rattle: "No, I'm here to wake her up." ”

Yan Niang glared at her, and said to Huo Roufeng with a smile: "Don't be surprised by Jiu Niangzi, her character is spoiled by the slaves. ”

Huo Roufeng gently held Yan Niang's hand and said softly: "Yan Niang, I've said it a few times, with me, don't call yourself a slave anymore, I asked my mother, she has long since lost your deed of sale, over the years, she has regarded you as a friend and sister." ”

Yan Niang smiled: "In front of others, I will change my words." ”

Huo Roufeng saw her like this, so she no longer insisted and let her go.

She told Yan Niang about her mother's illness, but Yan Niang wanted to say something and stopped, Huo Roufeng saw this, and said to Xiao Ye: "You go to Madame's place to have a look." ”

Xiao Ye retreated, Yan Niang whispered a few words in her ear in Tatar language, and Qi Qige ran out behind Xiao Ye, and before leaving, she didn't forget to kiss her mother on the face.

There were only Huo Roufeng and Yan Niang in the tent, and the wind outside seemed to be quiet, and there was silence all around.

"Yan Niang, if you have something to say, just say it." Huo Roufeng said softly.

Yan Niang's eyes already have fine wrinkles, but she does not hide her beauty. She stared at Huo Roufeng for a long time before she said, "Jiu Niangzi, yesterday there were Han people who asked to see their husbands, but they went to our new horse farm. ”

Alilun's horse farm was built here, and then Xie Honglin's health became worse and worse, and more and more doctors came here, for the sake of safety, Alilun and Yan Niang discussed, and built a new horse farm more than 20 miles away, the same water and grass, the same mountain col. Most of the horses are in the new horse farm, and there are only a few old horses and ponies here in the old horse farm. Compared with the new horse farm, the old horse farm is quieter and suitable for recuperation.

Huo Roufeng had long known that Alilun would never do business directly with the Han Chinese, this was his rule for more than ten years, whether it was on the grassland or on the border, all the horse dealers knew it.

She asked, "Aren't the Han people who came this time horse dealers?" ”

Yan Niang nodded: "There are two people, an old man and a young man, and the younger one calls himself Xie." ”

"Surname Xie?" Huo Roufeng sat up straight.

Yan Niang said: "For the sake of safety, my husband never does business with Han people, and the Han doctors invited are all to go to one place first, and then my people will take them to the old racecourse." So in recent years, there have been no Han people in the new racecourse at all. The steward of the racecourse, Langi, did not know Chinese, and the two men who had come yesterday hired a Tara to lead the way, and they did not speak well in Tatar, so they were translated by the Taras, who happened to know Ahsan. ”

Ah Sang is Yan Niang's maid, a tall and mighty Tartar girl.

Ah Sang would go to the new horse farm every day, and the letter that Zhan Huai wrote to Huo Roufeng was brought back by Ah San.

The Tartar, who had led the way, saw that Longi was going to blow them away, and was explaining to the two employers, and he saw Ahsan.

Ah Sang has been by Yan Niang's side for ten years, and she doesn't feel that these two people are horse dealers, so she interrogated carefully and learned that the young man was surnamed Xie.

Ah Sang told them in Chinese that Prince Alilun did not deal with Han Chinese, and the horse farm did not receive Han Chinese, so for the sake of acquaintances, you should go quickly.

Leaving the new horse farm, Ah Sang told Yan Niang about it. Yan Niang heard that someone claimed to be surnamed Xie, and first thought that Huo Qingzhou was here, but after thinking about it carefully, Huo Qingzhou would not come to Tatara rashly, and he would not claim to be surnamed Xie.

Huo Roufeng asked, "The Tartar who led the way might find it?" ”

Yan Niang said: "I've already asked Ah Sang to do it." ”

Huo Roufeng was very satisfied, she had already guessed who the arrivals were, she said to Yan Niang: "I have already asked people to follow them, Yan Niang, you don't have to worry, since they have arrived in Tartary, let me have news soon." ”

Then, she told Yan Niang in detail about the Taiping Society and Xie Sicheng.

She said: "Actually, I haven't told you that Xie Sicheng is Xie Chan's daughter, the boy who was taken away back then." It's just that I don't know why he became the head of the Taiping Society, and I don't know how he learned that my mother was going to preach for Fu. That's why I didn't tell you about it. ”

Before Huo Roufeng's words were finished, Yan Niang's face changed.

All of that back then, whether it was Huo Qingzhou or Huo Roufeng, had never experienced it, but Yan Niang was different, she broke through from the sword light and sword shadow again and again.

"He is Xie Chan's son, is he the evil seed back then?" Yan Niang clenched her fists.

Huo Roufeng patted her on the shoulder and said softly: "Yan Niang, don't be impulsive, my father's revenge must be avenged, and my mother's revenge must be avenged, but there are still many things that have not been figured out, such as why Xie Si became my mother's son, I really want to know, what is his certainty, my mother will recognize him." ”

Yan Niang was stunned, sighed, and sat down again.

She curled the corners of her mouth and smiled bitterly: "Although that Huo Jiang is not in every way, he hides the identity of Yan Gongzi very well. ”

Huo Roufeng said with a smile: "Then if my brother is only a high fighter, everyone in the capital is saying that my brother is with Huo Jiang, so he will be so good at reading." If they are not father and son, I am afraid no one will believe them. ”

At this moment, Xiao Ye's voice came from the door: "Nine Niangzi, the pigeon is here." ”

Huo Roufeng winked at Yan Niang: "It's coming." ”

Xiao Ye came in from outside, holding a small bamboo tube in her hand.

Huo Roufeng poured out a paper roll from the bamboo tube, unfolded it and glanced at it, the corners of her mouth seemed to be smiling, she said to Yan Niang: "Xie Sicheng learned from the horse dealer that I once inquired about Alilun's news, he is a smart person, and he found it based on this news." Yan Niang, he should have guessed that I have something to do with the Xie family. ”

Yan Niang frowned: "Jiu Niangzi, you can still laugh." ”

Huo Roufeng said: "I am the Xie family, this is not a shameful thing, since he already knows, then I can let go and do something." Yan Niang, I may have to leave for a while, and my mother has to ask you. ”

Yan Niang feigned anger: "Jiu Niangzi, don't say that, the slave and the young lady are a lifelong relationship." ”

Huo Roufeng thought for a while and said to Yan Niang: "I still have to ask you to help me do something." ”

"What?" Yan Niang said.

"Be my mother again." Huo Roufeng smiled mischievously.
