Chapter 110: The Great Khan's Tomb (I)
The so-called scheme is actually very simple, that is, to pretend to be a good child in front of the next generation of people, and try to win the likes of those old guys, because the real content of that "Da Dan Jikji" is only known to the old man who is not dead. It's just that these things are so important that they can be regarded as priceless.
Now, the death of the dead, the wounded of the wounded, the opportunity naturally falls on the teenager who has always been deeply liked by the longest generation.
Yin Zhiping was a very clever man, and he paid the porter twenty taels of silver to send a humble letter to the mansion of the great general of Zhenxi, and then received a summons from the great general Ashulu.
Ashuru's study was very simple, with only a few common books on the art of war on the shelves, but thick military maps piled up. He still held the letter, occasionally whispered a few words, and then glanced at Yin Zhiping lightly.
Ashuru could confirm that the letter was written by the deceased emperor.
Many years ago, when he was a trusted coward, he was responsible for protecting Genghis Khan closely. Temujin, on the other hand, was a man who could not be idle, and always wanted to go out for a walk. Ashuru took control of the wind for him, and when he got the opportunity, the two went hunting and riding horses. Naturally, some code words are used.
The setting of this kind of code language is only known to the two of them. The seemingly ordinary letterhead in his hand actually contained too much shocking news.
Yin Zhiping has been standing upright, like a javelin, awe-inspiring and solemn, his eyebrows are handsome, his figure is tall, his standing posture is extremely pleasing to the eye, and he can't find the slightest fault. Ashulu's countless elite soldiers and strong generals couldn't help but secretly praise this tough young man in their hearts.
"If the Great Khan hadn't died, the matter of the national teacher would ...... You are also a disciple of the national teacher now, and you may not be able to become a national teacher in the future. Ashuru said abruptly.
Yin Zhiping was silent for a moment and replied, "I'm just an ordinary person. ”
Ashulu thought that at his age, he should be angry or sad, but he didn't expect Yin Zhiping to be so calm, and he couldn't help but look a little higher.
"I wonder about two things, when did the Great Khan give you this letter? Could it be that the Great Khan could have foreseen his own life and death? Ashuru asked.
Yin Zhiping replied: "After the death of the master, he gave it to me, and the Great Khan told me that he knew that after his death, the Mongol army would be able to capture Western Xia." I want me to give you this letter when the time comes. ”
Ashuru nodded.
Ashuru gradually let go of his hand, and asked as if he was very tired, "The Great Khan asked you to participate in the burial." Then, General Ben gives you a chance. ”
"I have a centurion who is vacant. If you want to compete for this military position, you can sign up these days. According to the rules of the Mongolian army, only a warrior can serve as a centurion, and after ten days, the applicants will compete with each other, regardless of life and death. In the end, the winner became the centurion. Ashulu's eyes were like knives, and he said sharply: "Do you dare?" ”
Yin Zhiping said with a straight face: "What are good men afraid of? ”
Suzhou, this is an ancient city, in the history of the city, I don't know how many tragic battles took place here. Every piece of bluestone on the city wall bears the traces of the fierce battles. Many poets and lyricists will come here to touch the scene and write popular poems.
Although the war passed, Suzhou was the one who surrendered early, and did not suffer a massacre, and the city was still relatively lively. It is precisely because of the presence of more than 100,000 Mongol troops stationed here that Suzhou is not desolate. 100,000 men are the best customers. The hottest ones here are casinos, green houses, and wine shops.
With a stroke of the pen, Yin Zhiping's identity became a guard of the guards. At this time, Yin Zhiping was walking slowly on the street, heading towards the military camp, to add the word Yin Zhiping to the list of challenging centurions.
When he came, he didn't take a good look at Suzhou, but after looking at it along the way, he felt that it was very lively. The wine flag was flying in front of the wine shop, and the girls in the Qinglou had just gotten up, freshened up, sat on the balcony upstairs, and gossiped melon seeds. A variety of shops are open to welcome passers-by.
In front of the road, a large group of people gathered, chattering and not knowing what to say.
Yin Zhiping stopped and looked carefully, only to see that Luxi was a small gambling house, and a big red paper was posted in front of the door, and the idlers were dissatisfied with the content on the red paper.
"Alas, this time the master's money has been thrown into the water, and I haven't heard a sound yet......" said a chubby young man with a sad face.
Yin Zhiping happened to be standing beside him, so he asked, "Brother Ren, what makes you so depressed?" ”
The fat man must have been depressed in his heart, and someone accosted him, so he looked at Yin Zhiping and said helplessly: "I don't listen to my brother's accent, I'm not a local." I'm afraid I don't know what it's all about, right? Come on, come on, look at that piece of paper, the names of the people written on it. These people all signed up to compete for the centurion of the left army of the Mongol army. Suzhou casinos unite and give them the odds of winning the championship, some of them are high and some are low. Of course, gambling money is like this, buy the popular ones and win less. In case you bet on an underdog, the money you win can make you wake up with a smile in your dreams. ”
Yin Zhiping raised his eyes and saw that there were almost thirty names written on the red paper. There are odds after each name.
The fat man continued: "Originally, everyone was happy to buy it, and the little bet was pleasant!" These officers who signed up are all good players in the army, and maybe if they eat breakfast smoothly today, they will be able to defeat opponents of equal strength. Like me, I spent three hundred taels of silver to buy a few warriors to win. ”
Yin Zhiping nodded, it seems that this fat man is quite rich. In Suzhou, an ordinary family of three needs almost thirty or forty taels of silver a year to live. He bet three hundred taels, and his family background will not be too bad. In a gambling game like this, where more than 30 people compete for a position, it is also safer to vote for a few more people.
"And what happened next?" Yin Zhiping's words poked at the fat man's sore spot.
The fat man said indignantly: "No matter how powerful these Mongolian officers are, they are all fought in battle. Early this morning, there was an additional name on the registration list of the left army barracks...... Dari Aj. Now, it's all over. ”
"Dari's sting?" Yin Zhiping frowned.
"Say you're an outsider. I don't even know this......" The fat man said disdainfully: "Dari A's father is a guest of the Mongolian army. ”
Yin Zhiping immediately understood. Like the current Mongol army, there are several large armies stationed outside. Each soldier has its own offensive and defensive tasks. It's one thing for a soldier in the army to be brave and good at fighting, but if there is no master in charge, it is a congenital disadvantage. It is easy for those powerful masters to form an assassination team and take the head of the general in the chaotic army.
Therefore, the Mongols will pay a lot of money to hire some very powerful masters, and they have always sent masters to every army. These masters are not officials, they are called guest secretaries.
Keqing enjoyed a large amount of money in Mongolia and had a transcendent status. Even the commander of every soldier, such as Ashulu, would not dare to be rude to the guest. After all, he is a master of advanced cultivation, and offending them is to make trouble for himself.
The fat man muttered, "Dari Asa's father has been with Ashulu for many years, and the tiger father has no dogs. In time, Daria will become one of the most powerful masters in Mongolia. ”
Yin Zhiping smiled. They are all raised by their parents, and the gap between people is too big.
The fat man smiled bitterly: "Dari Aja will go to join the army as soon as he gets up today." But who is he? The son of Keqing, he is also a talented master. Will you be a creep? After Daria joined the army, he immediately went to sign up for the centurion battle. The major casinos are urgently contacted, you see, the top is the name of Dari Azi, his odds are outrageously low, and he doesn't make money at all. And everyone else's odds have jumped to the top of the list. It is said that several officers are ready to withdraw from the Centurion Race. No one wants to be beaten to shame by the Daria spur in the army, and they will have to lead the troops in the future! ”
"Master...... What is the realm of Dari Aja now? Yin Zhiping said in a low voice.
Although he wasn't asking the fat man, he didn't expect the fat man to smile and say, "This matter may not be clear to others, but my brother-in-law is in charge of the Keqing Mansion." When our relatives gathered, I heard him say that in March this year, he could put down twenty or thirty men alone. ”
Seeing that Yin Zhiping didn't speak, the fat man thought he didn't understand, so he added: "Brother, although Dari Aja is the number one person, but he is still very young, otherwise how can he say that in time, Dari Aja will inevitably become one of the most powerful masters?" ”
Yin Zhiping smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Brother Ren for informing me." There are still some things in the future, so I will say goodbye first! ”
Looking at Yin Zhiping's back as he turned to leave, the fat man muttered, "This kid must not have participated in the gambling." If he had bought three hundred taels of silver, would I have laughed at him? ”
The camp of the Left Army was majestic, and the well-trained Mongol soldiers were bright with swords and guns. The scarlet military flag hunted in the wind, although it was a military camp in Suzhou, it naturally had a fierce atmosphere, even if it was a person who was arrogant and arrogant, outside of this iron-blooded army of tigers and wolves, he couldn't help but be infected by it.
The Mongol soldiers guarding the camp checked the identity of Yin Zhiping's guards and signaled that he could enter the barracks.
Yin Zhiping looked at the tall soldier and asked, "Excuse me, how to go to the registration place to participate in the battle for the centurion of the ninth battalion ten days later?" ”
More than a dozen sergeants were shocked as if they saw a monster, they looked at Yin Zhiping, and the tall soldier couldn't help but say: "Brother, you are a guard of the General's Mansion, you must be skilled." But you may not know that Dari has already signed up for the Centurion Battle. Today, in one day, seventeen or eighteen officers have already applied for withdrawal. Dari is a master, not something that we ordinary people can compare. Besides, there is life and death in the battle, and if you are injured or even die, you can only bear it yourself. Brother, the opportunity to seek fame will be there in the future. Don't play with your life, go back to the General's Mansion early. ”
Yin Zhiping smiled and said: "It's okay, wealth and danger are sought, just tell me how to go." ”
The tall soldier sighed and pointed out the way to Yin Zhiping, but a large group of people looked at Yin Zhiping's eyes like looking at a person who was about to commit suicide, full of pity.
