From time to time, you can see people fleeing back from northern Xinjiang on the official road, and the people who go to northern Xinjiang from the mainland are really rare, so Xuanbao and his party seem a little abrupt.

Hong Sheng is still feverish, delirious, and his face has turned gray and gray, and the situation is really not optimistic. Next to him, Hong Mei and Xian'er took turns to take care of him, but they still couldn't let him alleviate his condition, if there were no effective treatment measures, it was still unknown whether he would survive tonight!
Hong Mei shed tears in a hurry, but she was helpless, everyone was not a doctor, and it could be seen that Hong Sheng's injury did not know what 'medicine' to use and how to treat it.
It has already passed the 'chaotic' Yunshan, and it is estimated that it will be evening to get to Jingbei City, and at that time, the city 'gate' has already been closed, Xuanbao instead asked everyone not to hurry so much, it is too bumpy and it is also a harm to Hongsheng.
There was a forest in front of him, and Xuanbao decided to rest there at noon, people did not feel tired, and the horses could not withstand the long journey for several days in a row, and needed to rest.
The midday sun was very scorching, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Everyone made a fire at the edge of the forest to roast 'meat', and after a while, a group of carriages on the official road was introduced.
This should be a large family, with the family general opening the road in front, four horse-drawn carriages in the back, and two horse-drawn carriages, five horse-drawn carriages alone, and more than 20 family generals and servants guarding the left and right.
Seeing the Xuanbao people on the side of the road, the sedan curtain of the four-horse-drawn carriage was lifted a few times, and soon stopped, and a general drove over and shouted at Xuanbao and several people: "Hey, are these 'meat' breasts yours?
The two horses brought out from Fengxi have been following behind, tied to Ning Wujin's horse, carrying tiger 'meat', tiger skin and tiger bones on their backs. The crowd just cut off a small piece and ate it, and the rest was smoked over a wood fire and some rice dumpling leaves until it was ripe, and it could be stored for a week on dog days.
This big family must have seen the tiger skin, and also knew that these 'meat' were tiger 'meat', urging the family general to come over and ask, but they didn't know what his intentions were.
Ning Wujin walked over and said to the general: "Tell the master, these are indeed tiger 'meat', and they are the tiger on the Tiger Roaring Ridge!"
As soon as he heard that the tiger on the Tiger Roaring Ridge had been killed, the general's face also changed, and he immediately ran back to say a few words to the people in the sedan chair, and then ran back, holding a small money bag, throwing it to Ning Wujin and saying: "Our master wants to buy all your tiger 'meat' and tiger bones, this is ten taels of silver, and then! Brothers, move things!"
"Wait!" Ning Wujin's face darkened, he opened his arms and stopped in front of everyone, looked at the general and said: "This lord, this is tiger 'meat', not pig 'meat' and rabbit 'meat', these ten taels of silver can't even buy tiger skins, how many people still want them all? I'm sorry, don't sell it!"
The general shouted: "'Bastard' account! Do you know who my lord is? It's the dignified prefect of Yinghe! You don't want to die? Get out of here, or you will die without a place to bury!"
It seems that these guys can't buy it by force, and they plan to rob it! This tiger 'meat' tiger bones are not easy to encounter, every day I hear that tigers eat people, and rarely hear people eat tigers, this big insect is a treasure from beginning to end, from the inside to the outside, eating it has the effect of nourishing 'yin' and replenishing yang, strengthening muscles and bones, just like a thousand years of ginseng as precious, no wonder these guys want to take it by force!
Hearing this, he stepped forward, grabbed the waist knife wrapped in oilcloth behind his back, and shouted: "Even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu comes, don't want to snatch a bone from Lao Tzu's hands! If you want tiger 'meat', put down a thousand taels of silver, and the tiger 'meat' can be divided into half of you!"
This shout is really like a thunderbolt from the sky, Ning Wujin's momentum condensed from fighting on the battlefield for decades is not a fool's play, one stop ahead, the beard is all open, the frightened horses have taken a few steps back, and the family on the horse will almost fall off the horseback!
When he met a person who was not afraid of the prestige of the prefect, the general was also a little timid, after all, people can even kill a fierce tiger, and their skills are definitely not ordinary! But these people are not jealous, if the more than 20 brothers can't settle these people, then they will not be scolded to death by the master!
"Dare to disobey the people! Sell wild things 'privately', kill and arrest them! Come on, take it for me!" The general was annoyed and angry, so he simply recruited a reason to rob it!
Ning Wujin has been holding back the fire for the past few days, how could he, a general, have suffered such grievances, and he was chased like a wild dog and fled in embarrassment!
In the past two days, the chasing soldiers have avoided five or six rounds, and now they have actually encountered a group of robbers wearing official uniforms, and the robbery has robbed him, and he suddenly became angry, pulled out the steel knife on his back, and shouted: "Come here! Let grandpa send you to see the king of Hades!"
"Stop!" Ning Xian'er jumped down from the carriage, slowly walked to Ning Wujin's side, stared at the four-horse carriage on the avenue, and said with a sneer: "Yinghe prefect? I remember it should be Lord Huangqi Huang, right? You are not in Yinghe, what are you doing running through Jingbei?"
The sedan curtain was suddenly lifted, and a big white and fat face was 'revealed' from the inside, but a pair of eyes were small like two jujube cores.
At this time, Ning Xian'er didn't wear a veil, she was just a delicate little girl with outstanding appearance, the general just wanted to scold, but when she saw Ning Xian'er's beautiful face, she couldn't bear to speak ill of each other, just frowned and scolded: "'Female' baby, you are so bold, and you can call the name of the prefect?"
Ning Xian'er snorted coldly and didn't say anything, but her eyes were fixed on the fat man who got off the carriage. The fat man was dressed in brocade and satin, not an official robe, with fine skin and tender 'meat', 'straight' with a big belly, his forehead was soaked with sweat, and he didn't care about wiping it, so he ran to Ning Xian'er, knelt down and kowtowed: "Xiaguan Huangqi, meet Ning Jian Jun!"
When there was no war, part of the Huilong Army was also stationed between Ice Cliff City and Yinghe, and the officers and soldiers mostly walked around in these two cities, Ning Xian'er took the position of supervising the army, and often traveled back and forth between Yinghe and Ice Cliff City, investigating and dealing with soldiers who violated the 'disorderly' discipline, and naturally knew the garrisons of the two cities and the government.
Seeing that his master was kneeling, those generals who dared to sit on their horses all dismounted and knelt on the ground. Seeing that those inner relatives also got down from the carriage to pay their respects, Ning Xian'er was embarrassed to get angry no matter how angry she was, and hurriedly said to Huang Qi: "Lord Huang, get up, you and I are not wearing official uniforms, this kind of etiquette is still not necessary!"
It's not that Huang Qi has much respect for Ning Xian'er, but that the Yin Dynasty is very strict with the hierarchical etiquette of officials, and the slightest negligence may throw away the black yarn!
Waiting for Huang Qi to stand up, Ning Xian'er frowned and asked him, "Lord Huang, where are you going?"
Huang Qi's face turned pale, his eyes flickered, he didn't dare to look at Ning Xian'er's eyes, and said, "Xiaguan... Xia Guan wants to go back to Huanzhou Province..."
"Hmph!" Ning Xian'er snorted coldly, with a look of disdain and disgust on her face. The war in northern Xinjiang is critical, you should go home to save your relatives at this time? Trick the ghosts to go! It is clear that you are abandoning the city and fleeing!
Every prefect has fled, and the people of Yinghe can already imagine how panicked they were!
"How is the battle situation in Ice Cliff City now?" Ning Xian'er stared at Huang Qi, she said that she was also a member of the military, and in the army, her father could not resist her stubbornness, and gave her a position as a military supervisor, and her rights could not be controlled by local officials. Of course, she didn't want to care, she just wanted to know about her father's situation!
Huang Qi said with a frightened face: "Ice Cliff City is coming to an end! The city is about to run out of food, and the 500,000 Helan army has surrounded Ice Cliff City, they have very powerful meteor crossbows, and the Huilong army can't hold it anymore!"
"You fart!" Ning Xian'er's angry apricot eyes widened, and she scolded Huang Qi loudly!
Huang Qi lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, and sighed in his heart Fortunately, this is the 'daughter' of the general of the Huilong Army, not himself, otherwise he would abandon the city and flee, then he could directly cut off his head, and he didn't have to wait to be escorted back to Beijing!
Xuan Bao walked out and shouted at Ning Xian'er: "Xian'er!"
Ning Xian'er turned around and walked to Xuanbao's side, Xuanbao whispered a few words to her, Ning Xian'er nodded, walked back and said to Ning Wujin: "Fifth uncle, we will keep some of those bones and 'meat', and give him all the rest, and we will keep the tiger skin." Lord Huang, I'll give you something, I don't want your silver, but I want a few things from you!"
When Huang Qi heard this, he was a little overjoyed at first, but then he was shocked, holding his head and saying with a bitter face: "Lord Prison doesn't want me to be the head of the army, right?"
Ning Xian'er said angrily and funny: "What is the use of my head! It is not as valuable as a tiger's head! I want a set of stoves in your car, and you can carry some 'medicine' with you, no matter what you do it for!"
As soon as he heard that it was just these things, Huang Qi's face suddenly relaxed, and he was even a little incredulous, and looked at Ning Xian'er in a daze. Of course he knew that even if these tiger bones and tiger 'meat' were really given a thousand taels of silver, they were not expensive, after all, they were worth the money, these things were priceless and unmarketable, and it was difficult to buy them with money!
Ning Xian'er frowned and asked him, "What's wrong? Are you reluctant? Or don't you have these things?"
"Yes, I'll send someone to bring it to you right away!" Huang Qi nodded desperately, turned his head and ordered: "Hurry up and take what the overseer wants, and take out all the 'medicine'!"
He fled with his family, and the pots and pans were naturally carried, and the 'medicine' for treating injuries such as wind and cold and trauma was also necessary, so he quickly moved a lot out of the car and 'handed over' it to Ning Wujin's hands.
Several generals carried the tiger 'meat' and tiger bones that Ning Wujin had given them and threw them on the carriage, and then couldn't wait to say goodbye to Ning Xian'er, and went away from the official road in a hurry, for fear that Ning Xian'er would regret it!
With the cooking utensils, you can make tiger bone soup for Hong Sheng! Hong Mei boiled the soup, Xian'er fried the 'medicine', Xuanbao and Ning Wujin cut all the tiger bone and tiger 'meat' left behind into small pieces, rolled up the tiger skin, and put it in the carriage.
Seeing Ning Xian'er's somewhat restless appearance, Xuanbao comforted her and said, "Xian'er, don't worry, Ice Cliff City is not broken, and the city has not reached the point of running out of ammunition and food! They will definitely hold out until we go back!"
Ning Xian'er sighed and said, "I'm afraid that Daddy's temper is too stubborn! In fact, he may not know how to retreat to Ice Knife Mountain, but without Emperor Yin's order, he would rather fight to the death than retreat!"
Ning Wujin sighed beside him, he also understood the general's temper, so Ning Xian'er's conjecture would happen eight or nine times out of ten!
