Chapter 240: Jincheng County

Bi Liancheng led seven or eight people, and after meeting with Ma Hanshan, a total of more than ten or five or six people, purchased some Song Dynasty items as gifts in Jingzhao Mansion, a total of several carts, so he took care of some porters in the local area, and the whole team was more than 20 people, Ma Hanshan felt that so many people were holding such a little bit of goods a bit of an eyesore, and wanted to divide the people and horses into two pulls, but Bai Zhitan said that there was no obstacle in Hu Territory, and it was not too late to divide it into two if it was inconvenient to go out of Hu Realm.

Sure enough, with Bai Zhitan's dots, he went all the way to Lanquan unimpeded, and then crossed the Huangshui River from Dongguan Fort, and soon arrived at Jincheng County in the West Gorge.

There are two Dongguan forts and Xiguan forts in Lanquan, Dongguan Fort crosses the Huangshui River is Jincheng County, crosses Xiguan Fort and leaves from Jingyuguan, and the first town in the territory of Xixia is Zhuo Luocheng in Xixia.

Zhuo Luo City is stationed in the West Gorge Border Army, also called the city, which sounds like it is very lively. In fact, no, Jincheng has always been a lively place on this side of Hexi, and later, a huge silver mine was found in Jincheng, and this place was even more lively.

When you arrive in Jincheng, go north along the river, and then walk six or seven hundred miles to Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia.

When he was in Jingzhao Mansion, Ma Hanshan received the news of Bianjing from Shen Lang, and knew that Hu Ting's hundreds of officials were quarreling endlessly, some supported the friendship with Song, and some suggested that they should directly use troops against Song, and Li Zhixiao's task was not so easy to complete. So Ma Hanshan Feige sent a message to Lin'an, asked Long Guangning to let Li Zhixiao come back according to the plan, and asked Long Guangning to send a message to Hu Yu to speed up the westward speed.

Of course, because it took time to deliver the news, Ma Hanshan didn't know that when he left Jingzhao Mansion, the person who negotiated with Li Zhixiao in Bianjing had been replaced by Emperor Hu's younger brother, the Seventh Prince.

At the same time, a secret letter left Bianjing in the form of an eight-hundred-mile expedited and went straight to Fengxiang and other directions.

Who sent MeSign? It was sent by the eighth prince of Donghu.

What is this sixth prince? Of course, he is also the younger brother of Emperor Hu Wanyan Xuan, the half-brother, and the half-brother of the Seventh Prince.

The sixth prince was very unhappy with the emperor's uncle passing the throne to his own brother, and his own brother was even more unhappy with his own brother who actually pushed the throne to his half-brother Wanyan Xuan. He always thought that the imperial uncle should pass on the throne to him if he was not mediocre, because he was more handsome than his dead brother Wanyan, and he was also smarter and more talented than his brother, and he could fight better than his brother. Uncle Huang Yong actually chose his younger brother, so forget it, after all, it is his half-brother. What made him angry was that his younger brother actually gave up to his brother who had a different mother's mother, and directly ignored him, the half-brother, which was simply wolf-hearted.

Therefore, after Yan Xuan ascended the throne, he tried to snatch the throne all the time.

Therefore, he wantonly bribed hundreds of ministers in the court to prepare, and at the same time raised countless martial arts people, scattered to various armies and roads, so that when the conditions were ripe, he would attack Wanyan and seize the throne in one fell swoop.

This sixth prince was a warmonger, and he was extremely opposed to reconciliation with the Song Dynasty, so he had been interfering with and obstructing the negotiations between Hu Ting and the Song envoy, and because of this, Li Zhixiao had not made any progress in Bianjing for more than half a month.

Since the sixth prince knew that his younger brother had taken over the negotiation with the Song envoy, and had decided to befriend the Song Dynasty and satisfy the face of the Song people, he jumped up angrily.

The so-called strategists who raised him offered him a plan, and he could not sabotage the negotiations in the court, so he could look outside the court, and tell him that the strategy of the Song Dynasty now came from a guy named Ma Hanshan, and the emperor was also trying to find a way to buy this guy surnamed Ma, and if this guy died unexpectedly, then... can not only hit the Song Dynasty hard, but also hit the guy in Hu Tingzhong who showed favor to the Song people. And this guy will enter the West Gorge soon, if he dies in the West Gorge, he can also provoke the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the West Gorge, maybe there will be a fight.

This is a plan to kill three birds with one stone, and the six princes are overjoyed, so they summoned their masters overnight, and asked them to go to the border town with their secret letters, and when they arranged the local people and horses, they must let the little bastard surnamed Ma have no return and die in the desert of the West Gorge.

The speed of the people in the martial arts is fast, and when Ma Hanshan lived in Jincheng County, they had already rushed to Pingliang Mansion. It took four days to rush from Bianjing to Pingliang Mansion, which is simply a thousand miles a day and a fatal speed.

It would take several days for Hu Yu's brigade to arrive at Jiezhou on the Lizhou Road, and then leave the men and horses sent by the brigade in Jiezhou, enter the territory of Xifan with four or five hundred guards lightly, and then make an arc to avoid the Linzhao Road of Donghu, and go north from the east of Cuowenbu Lake into Xiliangfu in Xixia. When you arrive in Xiliangfu, you must be able to go straight through the desert to the north to reach Beimeng, but it is very dangerous to go this way. The safer way to go is to go east next to the edge of the Denger Desert after arriving at Xiliangfu, to Zaiyingli, and then go north through Xingqing Mansion to the northern border of Xixia and enter the border of Northern Mongolia.

Of course, you can also go west from Ganzhou in the West Gorge to Suzhou, and then go north to Beimeng, but this way it is far away and goes around in a circle.

For Ma Hanshan, if there are no major changes on Donghu's side, it doesn't matter how Hu Yu leaves Songjing. Because, as long as he leaves the Song Realm, basically the situation of Lianmeng has been completed, he arrives early and late, and the impact is not great, if there is a major change, Ma Hanshan is not without his own strength in Xixia, so it would be good for the people of the Social Investigation Bureau to find Beimeng's strength in Xixia and contact them directly.

The humanities, culture and scenery of Jincheng County are completely different from the familiar Jiangnan of Mahanshan, which makes Mahanshan a little excited.

He doesn't remember many verses, but the desert is lonely and the sun is red on the Yellow River, but he has always remembered it, maybe because Master Jin quoted it a lot in his novels, as a fan of Master Jin, Ma Hanshan remembered these two poems.

Although these two poems describe the scenery of the Denger Desert, the desert is still far away from Jincheng County. Moreover, the owner of Ma Dazhai, who has always been "lazy" and likes to enjoy, is estimated to have fled after seeing the desert in his dream, and he will not even hold on for an hour.

Deserts and grasslands are fascinating, but not everyone can appreciate and enjoy them.

Although, there is no desert to be seen in Jincheng County, but the alien customs here are very strong, even stronger than Lanquan, so Mahanshan decided to play here for two days before going north, anyway, Hu Yu will have many days to reach the West Gorge. Besides, it is already a well-known thing in the world that the envoy of the Song Envoy went north through the West Gorge, and Bi Liancheng, the envoy who made the West Gorge, arrived a day early and arrived a few days late, which did not affect it at all.

Jincheng County is actually a key rush, although the county seat is not big, but the flow of people is still quite okay, according to Bai Shengxi, the "local" said, west of the Huangshui River, within two or three hundred miles nearby, Jincheng County is lively, if you want to be lively again, either go to Liangzhou Mansion, or go north to Xiping Mansion, Xingqing Mansion is comparable to Jincheng County.

Mahanshan decided to rest and play here for two days, so he gave everyone a "release" in the afternoon. However, he is a cautious person, although he "let the wind go", but the rule is not to act alone, and at most two people must be together.

Xiao Yue received Su Ying's order, except for sleeping at night and not sleeping together, she must protect Mahan Mountain every step of the way. Therefore, he naturally wants to follow Mahanshan. What's more, now that there is one more Bai Shengxi by Ma Hanshan's side, she can't wait to hang Ma Hanshan on her trouser belt, not because she is afraid that someone will be unfavorable to Ma Hanshan, but because she is afraid that Bai Shengxi will eat Ma Hanshan.

The woman who went down the mountain is a tiger, although this Bai Shengxi is not as beautiful as Su Ying, but it has a unique charm of the Northwest people, and it seems that like Su Ying, there is a so-called nobility.

Xiao Yue couldn't figure it out, her young lady was from a different background, and it was normal for her to have this kind of extravagance, but this "tall cow and big horse" Northwest woman was just a person from a mountain villa, how could she also have extravagance?

Originally, Bai Shengxi looked down on Mahanshan before, I don't know if it was because Mahanshan was "petite" or because Mahanshan was a songr, or because Mahanshan was customary, not like those literati who shook folding fans were "graceful", you must know that no matter when a woman is preconceived by eyesight, those who look strong, or look talented, are polite and courteous to women. Bai Shengxi is a native of the northwest, she has seen a lot of strong and powerful men, and she doesn't feel anything, she likes those handsome and merry literati in the south of the Yangtze River.

However, gradually she found that this kid who was a bit of a hanger and didn't learn anything was actually quite good, and gradually she no longer hated Ma Hanshan. Because she gradually discovered that Ma Hanshan's laziness and Hang Erlang were not really lazy, he just didn't want to spend time on things that he was not good at, and more often, he was thinking. At the beginning, she thought that Ma Hanshan's ignorance was because Ma Hanshan did not read the Four Books and the Five Classics, and did not chant poems against him. But later she found out that Ma Hanshan is really talented, because what he understands, no one in this world understands, and the things he creates are things that are not available in this world.

Women are very strange, they will always hate someone for a little thing, and in the same way, they will fall in love with someone because of a little thing.

Bai Shengxi may not have fallen in love with Mahanshan now, but she has changed from hating to liking. Moreover, now it seems that she likes it more and more, especially after entering the territory of Xixia, she has become extremely happy, and even a little excited.

"Horses... Ma Gongzi... Although Jincheng County is not big, the scenery is naturally not as good as that of Jiangnan, but there are also fun and delicious things here. For example, the Jincheng song here, I guarantee you haven't heard of it, and the beef noodles here are also very delicious, and I'm sure Childe hasn't eaten that kind of beef noodles ....... Walking on the road, Bai Shengxi squeaked and chirped to introduce things in Jincheng County to Ma Hanshan.

Ma Hanshan smiled and said, "Miss Bai, can you not call me Gongzi?" You can call me Mr. Ma. As for what Jincheng song, forget it, Yiyi, I can't listen to it, and when I have the opportunity, you can listen to a song under it, that's called a song. As for what kind of beef, you can try it, and I believe that the beef here can be different. ”

The beef noodles in Jincheng County are different from other places, the beef is fatty and tender, and the noodles are the noodles of the local dry wheat mill. These two things, in addition to Xixia, can be eaten in Lanquan, Hezhou, and Shizhou, and it is difficult to go a little farther, even in Jingzhao Mansion, only a few restaurants can eat them.
