This was the first time Xin Yi had seen the scene of the war with her own eyes in the long time since she went south—a small-scale battle, and there were less than a hundred people together, but the neighing of the horses, the sound of knives and guns, and the wailing of blood already made her tremble and couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Fu Jiuqu tightened her, "Are you afraid?" ”

Xin Yi stiffened his face, "You did it on purpose?" Just to force me to go back to Beijing? ”

Fu Jiuqu didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Then do you go back or not?" ”

"No return!"

"When you arrive in Yongzhou, it will be a hundred or a thousand times more cruel than here."

"I don't!"

"Someone is trying to kill me, and I don't even know where they're hiding."

"I'll be with you."

"They can't kill me, they'll turn to you."

"I'm not afraid."

The long wind blew, and the woman's voice was clear to her ears. Fu Jiuqu wrapped his arms around her waist, and hunted in the river breeze with a cloak, but his face was as dark as the frost and snow of the wax moon.

"Eleven, this time, you have to go!"

"Really?" The corners of Xin Yi's mouth were raised, his eyes showed a little suspicion, and the corners of his lips were raised and he smiled, "I can't go, but it's up to you to decide......"

Before the voice fell, Fu Jiuqu's body suddenly leaned down, hanging on a horse like a lower waist, and the hand holding Xin Yi's waist was instantly released.

Xin Yi was stunned, but saw two strong barbarian men provoking spears and stabbing at him.

"Brother Jiu!"

"The ...... of the King"

Several exclamations rang out at the same time.

Time seemed to slow down suddenly, and the picture in front of him slowly passed Xin Yi's eyes frame by frame......

By the time she recovered from her astonishment, Fu Jiuqu had already quickly drawn his knife and turned around, and sat back on his horse steadily. Controlling horses, knives, killing, and flowing in one go, as fast as if in an instant.

But the two strong men who intended to sneak attack, the spear fell to the ground, and one of them made a cut in his face, and blood flowed down, which looked very glaring.

"Wait for your life." Fu Jiuqu wiped the blood on the knife coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell your master that the twisted melon is not sweet, and the one who knows the times is Junjie." ”

The two barbarian strong men were shocked, touched their necks, and their eyes showed a little fear.

Cao Yi strode closer, and when he saw Xin Yi sitting in front of Fu Jiuqu's horse, his eyes were like a snowstorm, and he was lonely, and he moved away without a trace.

"Chonglou, are you alright?"

Fu Jiuqu shook his head and jumped off the horse, "It's okay." ”

Xin Yi jumped off the horse, looked at Cao Yi who was near, and then looked at Fu Jiuqu.

"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?"

Cao Yi frowned, his eyes fell on Fu Jiuqu's body, and he pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "When Chonglou was spying on Nong Zhigao's military intelligence, he offended all the thirty-six cave chiefs. ”

Thirty-six holes are offended?

It wasn't easy.

Xin Yi wondered, "How did you offend?" ”

Fu Jiuqu looked at those barbarians and raised his eyebrows silently.

Cao Yi glanced at him, and suddenly pursed his lips and smiled.

"Since the beginning of the army, Nong Zhigao has tried to win over the 36 cave chieftains to fight against the imperial court...... The imperial court is also trying to lobby for the 36 caves to return to obedience...... After a long tug-of-war between the three parties, the big chief was moved by the conditions of the imperial court, but he wanted to marry his daughter to the king of Guangling County......"

These chieftains are the local soil emperors, and they are the targets that Nong Zhigao originally tried to win over.

However, the 36th Cave did not defect to Nong Zhigao's Great Southern Kingdom, and the Song court was unwilling to be their enemy, so they always sent people to lobby for friendship. However, these old foxes have always sat on the wall and watched.

It was not until after the Battle of Pennsylvania that the Song army won a great victory, and the Tu chieftains began to waver.

As a result, marriage became the law of alliance that has not changed for the rest of the ages. The big chief said that he was willing to submit to the Song court, but he wanted to marry his little daughter to the king of Guangling County as a side concubine.

The girl had just turned fifteen this year.

The court thinks that the other party does not ask for a wife, and it is very sincere, and hopes that the king of Guangling County will accept it with a smile.

Fu Jiuqu thanked him and refused.

In the earthen village of the 36th cave, the chief of the soil put on a banquet of wine and delicacies to invite the envoys of the Song Dynasty, and also invited Fu Jiuqu.

At the banquet, the chief of the soil took matters into his own initiative, dressed his daughter in red and hung colors, regarded the banquet as a wedding banquet, and invited the chief and elders of the 36th cave, saying that he wanted to have a lively time.

This move also wanted to force Fu Jiuqu to comply.

It is difficult for ordinary people to ride a tiger, so they all push the boat along the water.

Unexpectedly, Fu Jiuqu directly flipped the table, threw off his sleeves and left, without giving half face.

In this way, the thirty-six cave chieftains were furious.

Fu Jiuqu's current situation is embarrassing and subtle, not to mention for the time being, only to say that the thirty-six caves have their own magic weapons, and there are a lot of things in the whole person, and they are happy to take revenge, and if there is revenge, they will be avenged, in order to save their dignity, they gritted their teeth and said that they would either go back to be their son-in-law, or ...... Carry the corpse back into a dead marriage.

These barbarians were sent by the Thirty-Sixth Cave to capture their sons-in-law.

After hearing this, Xin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or be angry.

"An errand can also cause a bunch of rotten peach blossoms?"

Fu Jiuqu glanced at her lazily, "The charm is, people and ghosts can't escape." ”

Xin Yi burst out laughing, seeing that those barbarians were seized and tied up by the Song soldiers who rushed up. He looked at Fu Jiuqu with a scolding grin and said a dialect they didn't understand, and asked in a low voice:

"What is Brother Jiu going to do?"

"Send it back." Fu Jiuqu raised his eyebrows, "Give them the chief as a big gift." ”

If you don't kill, you don't want to mess up the relationship at this juncture.

Obviously, Fu Jiuqu left a sense of proportion.

Xin Yi stretched out his hand and stroked the horse's back, and said with a smile: "So, just because the chief wants you to marry his daughter, you want me to go back to Bianjing?" ”

Cao Yi smiled faintly, "You are here, the county king is very inconvenient." ”

Fu Jiuqu glared at Cao Yi, who was gloating, and when he saw Xin Yi's little face falling, he raised his hand to hug her, and when he saw so many soldiers, he retracted his hand and dusted off his sleeves.

"None of the people in the 36th cave are normal. Eleven, I'm afraid they'll hurt you. Moreover, the decisive battle with Nong Zhigao is imminent, I may not be able to take care of you, and the camp is not absolutely safe......"

Xin Yi was as calm as ever.

"I don't."

“……”

This little seed.

Fu Jiuqu couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to put down his face.

"There's no mess around here."

Xin Yi raised his eyebrows lightly, and said seriously: "Even if you want to marry the daughter of the chieftain, I have to stay and drink a glass of wine to be willing." Otherwise, no one will try to convince me......"

She snorted coldly as if she was angry, her face full of displeasure.

Fu Jiuqu was speechless when he heard it, but Cao Yi was sour when he heard it.

If Xin Yi had such stubbornness towards him at the beginning, would he easily compromise with his mother and agree to marry the lady of the Lu family?

……

Not many people know about the incident that happened in the 36th cave in the fourth year of Huang You, but it is by no means as simple as a simple chief marrying a daughter, and it also involves the tug-of-war and trade-off of various forces.

Xin Yi was not unaware of this, but Fu Jiuqu's insistence on sending her back to Beijing was enough to make her angry.

She is not an ornament, she is not a vassal of anyone, and she is not willing to let others decide her own destiny, in the relationship between men and women, she has her own stubbornness, sometimes the result of taking a step back, may be exchanged for a short period of peace, but in the long run, it may only make the other party go further.

She doesn't go.

Unless Fu Jiuqu kicks her out of the camp.

Xin Yi stubbornly insisted on her thoughts, unable to tell whether she was surprised, angry, or disappointed in her heart about this matter, and after going back, she went back to the military medical camp, and then went to Fu Jiuqu, and took the initiative to cut off the connection with him.

"I didn't exist for him."

In that small room full of medicinal herbs, Xin Yi faced the silence of the room and said this to his heart.

Then, he slept with his head covered, and woke up the next day with a gentle and smiling doctor.

Without bringing emotions to work, Xin Yi did it.

But there was no news of Fu Jiuqu all day, and her head began to think uncontrollably again......

Is Fu Jiuqu forcing her to go back in a cold war way?

What was going on in his mind? Will they temporarily agree to the chieftain after weighing the pros and cons?

After hesitating until the evening, Xin Yi went to the room, ready to cook something for Di Qing, and by the way, learn about the situation.

Silence is lighting a fire in front of the stove, holding a book in his hand.

This monk seemed to like to read while burning the fire, and he was so fascinated that Xin Yi didn't notice it when he approached him.

Xin Yi snorted, "Senior Brother Loneless, is the meal ready?" ”

Silent and unrefreshed, she looked at the little lady in front of her in a daze, and smiled shyly, "Not yet, the steward said that he wanted to boil a few pots of defilement soup, which was ordered by the military medical battalion, and Dr. Xin didn't know?" ”
