Chapter 48 The Situation
The fleet moved slowly on the Qishui River, and it was about to reach the Qiyin Wharf not far ahead. On the back few boats, I took a trip to Qiyang, and after a fierce fight with the Rui Shi Army, the soldiers of the Yi'er Army who returned home rushed to the bow of the boat one after another, looking at the familiar river scenery around them.
No matter how accustomed these warriors were, it was as if they were sleeping on their own couches. But at any time, it is the most longed-for thing to actually return to his own estate.
And Nangong An walked up to the building lightly with his hand, and it was still Shi Yao who was waiting outside the hatch. Seeing Nangong An coming up, Shi Yao just nodded coldly.
Some people rumor that although Nangong An is a guest of the Shi family, his performance is purely the most loyal subordinate of the Shi family. For the sake of Shi Yao, a girl. After Nangong An heard this, he just laughed.
Shi Yao was born as a Yue's goblin, in the upper echelons of the Qin State, almost everyone knows, she is also Shi Sheng when he followed Qin Xianghou to fight in the east and west, broke one of the nine king's tents of Rouran, and among the captives was a Yue's goblin who was already pregnant, and died after giving birth to Shi Yao. Although the Yue's goblin belongs to the ghost species, it is a wonderful race, the legend is that living at the end of the Wuju River, the population of the clan is sparse, but the woman is graceful and unique, and she is a natural stunner. What is especially special is that no matter what the father is, in the end, the women of the Yue clan give birth to daughters, and they completely inherit the characteristics of the Yue clan goblins.
Because the Yue's goblins have basically given birth to daughters from generation to generation, if they want to continue the bloodline, they can only kidnap foreign men into the depths of the snow-capped mountains at the end of the Wuju River, and once they become pregnant, they will expel those men after they are unconscious. At the end of the Wuju River, there has been a legend of encountering immortals for many years.
After the Zhou royal family unified Donghua, the eleventh generation of King Zhou Mu was the most travelling monarch, and he once led the elite powerhouses of Lingyun Ertai to travel the world with him. King Mu of Zhou reigned for thirty-four years, and he stayed in Tiandu for less than two years. He once went deep into the end of the Wuju River with dozens of subordinates, and the scenery along the way was recorded in the Western Wilderness Mountains and Seas Chronicles to be passed down to future generations. More than 100 years later, the two marquis of Qin and Zhao went west to Rongqi and expanded their territory, most of which were based on the records of the mountains and seas of the Western Wilderness.
And King Zhou Mu found the location of the Yue Clan goblin clan in the depths of the Snow Mountain, and captured seventy or eighty of the most beautiful Yue clan goblins. These Yue's goblins have been passed down from generation to generation, and when King Zhou Li was king, forty-nine Yue's goblins could still be discharged in the deer forest, and more than a hundred years have passed, and there are very few Yue's goblins left in the land of Donghua, even if there are a few, they are also treasured gifts in the deep courtyard of the super clan. It is said that fifty-two years ago, Lintao City once auctioned off the Yue's goblin, and at that time, it sold an astronomical amount of 150,000 gold square coins, which fell into the hands of Wei Wenhou, the most powerful Wei State at that time.
No one knows how there is a concubine of the Yueshi goblin in the tent of the king of Rouran who broke through the army of Qin Xianghou. However, west of Rongqi, among the two countries of Qin and Zhao, the last baby girl to be born should be the only one Yue's goblin.
At that time, everyone thought that Qin Xianghou would take this little baby girl into his palace and accept her as a concubine when she grew up. Unexpectedly, Qin Xianghou handed over the baby girl to Shi Sheng to raise, and Shi Sheng also regarded it as his own and named her Shi Yao. When Shi Yao was a child, she often took her into the palace of the Marquis of Qin and played with Qin Yan, who was also immature.
Even though he has Shi Sheng's protection, Shi Yao doesn't know how many strange eyes he has suffered during his growth. This origin seems to be the original sin that Shi Yao has been carrying. How many big people have openly and secretly begged Shi Sheng for this girl, but Shi Sheng has pushed back. And after Qin Xianghou was not in Qianhaiyuan and Shi Sheng returned to Qiyang for retirement, it was Shi Wuju who protected her.
Therefore, Shi Yao wrapped himself tightly, desperately honing his true yuan and combat skills, he will only be twenty years old this year, but he has already preliminarily stepped into the stage of washing the marrow, and he is also a rare genius martial artist, and he is on par with Shi Wuju back then.
But Nangong An knew that even if Shi Yao had become the wing commander of the Yi'er Army, he could be called one of the strong men. The deepest feeling in this girl's heart is still that feeling of insecurity. Only in the historian can we find a point of belonging. So for the sake of the Shi family, for the sake of Shi Wuju, she can do anything. And her wish seems to have been by the side of this brother Shi Wuju, who has protected her since childhood.
Anyone other than the Shi family, except for Qin Yan, who played with her like a sister when she was a child, Shi Yao didn't take it in her eyes, and they were as cold as a piece of ice. Nodding and greeting Nangong Aneng is already a special exception.
Nangong An smiled gently at Shi Yao, and stepped into Shi Wuju's cabin.
Shi Wuju's cabin is also the same as him, very simple, and there is no furnishings. There is only one wooden map of the fiefdom of the historian in the northwest of the Qin State and the border between Rouran and the Zhao State, which is placed in the center. And Shi Wuju had already finished his morning cultivation homework, and was looking at the familiar scenery outside the porthole.
Hearing Nangong An's footsteps, Shi Wuju turned his head and said with a smile: "Don't you always have endless paperwork to deal with?" so much information about the Shi family is also collected in your hands, not to mention that you are the big butler of our Shi family, it is rare to see you when you eat every day, why did you come up early in the morning to say hello?"
Nangong An smiled and raised two fingers: "Two news, one good and one bad, which one to listen to first?"
Shi Wuju shrugged his shoulders: "My life is cheap, I can't stand to hear the good news first, what's bad?"
Nangong An's face was slightly gloomy, and he sighed and said, "The Rouran soldiers are getting closer and closer to the west and north of the Shijia fiefdom. In the westernmost Anzhen Fort, there are already Rouran's sentinels, and Lu Yu, the middle prince guarding Anzhen Fort, has given up the manor of dozens of people and is sending a document asking for help. And Wanghe Fort, which is not far from Anzhen Fort, and Linhuang Fort, the news of the return is the same. The royal banners of the Zheye King's Tent and the Hudun King's Tent, two of the Nine Kings' Tents of Rouran, are said to have been planted more than 100 miles west of several forts. ”
Shi Wuju snorted, his face suddenly became ugly, and he hurriedly walked to the edge of the wooden map: "Rouran is coming east, and the horses are all fattening, isn't it because we should wait until the autumn is high and the horses are fattened before approaching further east? Why did I make a move so quickly? It seems that I can't stay in Qiyin, so I have to beat Zheye Hudu!"
He pointed to the location of the forts on the wooden map, groaned for a while, and then asked, "Where is the Shuangying Pass?"
Nangong An shook his head: "There is no movement of the Rouran people, and the sentry from the north will not be seen, and the Zhao people's military horses will not be able to guard against Rouran to the west." It seems that the rumors are correct, and the royal court of the Rouran, which is now in charge of the accounts of the kings of Rouran, already has some covenant with the Zhao people. ”
Shi Wuju snorted: "In order to dominate the world, and come to Lushui again, do you not hesitate to introduce the Rouran people into Donghua?" Yao Ba is really a madman...... This is a problem......"
Nangong An nodded: "It's indeed troublesome, although there are no less than 100,000 soldiers in the Nine Kings of Rouran, but with the 600 Yi'er army of the Shi family as the backbone, no less than 20,000 can be summoned by the dependent troops, and they can also deal with it." The most worrying thing is that Zhao Ren is supporting these Rouran people behind his back. However, now Yao Ba is leading the Tu Shi Cavalry expedition in the north, and he will not be able to return for a while, and there is still time to deal with Rouran's advance...... This is a hundred Yi'er soldiers who were assigned to the Qinhou Tiger Guard......"
Shi Wuju waved his hand: "Needless to say, since it was promised to the Marquis of Yan, how can there be any reason to take it back? I will prepare to go out when I go back, and while Yao Ba has not yet turned back, I will first pull down the royal flags of the two divisions of Zheye Hudun, who are compelling!"
Shi Wuju and Nangong An both knew that most of the crisis in the Qin State today was caused by the intervention of the Zhao people. Inside, he supported Heyang Jun to oppress the Marquis of Qin, and tried to make Qin Rong, who had the blood of the Zhao people, the son of the Marquis of Qin. Outside, the soldiers are oppressive, and there is a tendency to collect Rouran to help their allies.
In recent years, the aftermath of the chaos of Zhao State is gradually subsiding, and Yao Ba led his troops to the north, because the replenishment of Zhao's elite cavalry must be completed in the north. When Yao Ba returns north, he will inevitably have to make a move against the Qin State. Pull the Qin State to the chariot of the Zhao people, and then move eastward, open the West Pass in one fell swoop, destroy the Wei State in front of you, and the soldiers will come to Lushui again, fight for the world, and turn Zhao Hou into the Zhao King on the land of Donghua!
There is not much time left for them, only by trying their best to eliminate the threat of Rouran, to stabilize the position of the Marquis of Qin, to support the re-established Tiger Guard, and to limit the hidden danger of Heyang Jun, the Qin State can talk about having a chance to survive in the hands of Qiang Zhao!
And at this time, the only thing that can be used to fight Rouran is the power of the Shi family.
Shi Wuju was silent for a long time, and finally slapped it heavily on the wooden map, looked up and smiled: "The bad news is nothing more than that, I can still handle it...... The good news?"
In the blink of an eye, Shi Wuju seemed to have forgotten the crisis in front of him, and he still looked free and easy, although his appearance was indeed ordinary, but it seemed to be a natural manhood, but it was inadvertently displayed.
Nangong An paused slightly, and smiled gently as usual: "...... News has already come from my subordinates that Xu Le was born in Zhao Guoqicheng, and is the second grandson of Xu Dai, the eldest doctor of Yao Heng's rebellion, and is rarely known as a genius martial artist. Xu Dai's family was wiped out, Xu Le escaped after a lot of hardships, and with a blood feud, he went away to the Western Wilderness, and finally bumped into us. He has a common enmity with Yao Ba, and he is a character who can borrow from Xinzhong............ Speaking of which, it would indeed be a pity if such a genius martial artist could not be used by the Qin State......"
Shi Wuju looked at Nangong An fixedly, and said word by word: "Is this news reliable?"
Nangong An met Shi Wuju's compulsive gaze, and said seriously: "Can't you still believe me?"
Shi Wuju pondered for a moment, and finally smiled: "This is really good news!"
Nangong An still smiled gently: "How can I not know that you are a person who loves talents." When I really had to get rid of Xu Le, I guessed that I was depressed for a while, and now I shouldn't have this concern. ”
Shi Wuju laughed and rubbed his hands vigorously: "I said, I can drink with the little leopard, and the little leopard is regarded as a man who can be befriended." In the Western Wilderness, he was alone with hundreds of Rouran people to protect his private subordinates, and in Qiyang, he didn't pretend to be the slightest bit cowardly against the Rui Shi Army, how could it be a character like a scheming man? I didn't see the wrong person from the beginning! The historian confiscated the seeds!"
Nangong An smiled faintly: "This Xu Le didn't get any benefit from the Shi family, right now, the name of the Qin State is also spelled out by this Xu Le himself............ He is indeed a good man, indomitable, and high-spirited in any situation. There will be something to be done in the future. ”
Shi Wuju continued to rub his hands a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Nangong, do you think we can still squeeze out something?"
Nangong An's face stiffened: "What, what do you want to give Xu Le?"
Shi Wuju scratched his head: "This kid bumped into him in the Western Wilderness, although we saved him, but he also killed a warrior in the Wild Tribe, otherwise he might have to lose one or two more brothers of the Yi'er Army." Then when he returned to Qiyin, he gave him 200 acres of the worst farmland in the elephant forest, and they had to renovate the cottage by themselves. Not to mention that in Qiyang, because of the identity of the Shi family, he was targeted by the Rui Shijun, and he fought fiercely, Cao Neng and Huang Fei did not please the two guys in his hands, which greatly increased the face of our Shi family, and aroused the morale of the people of Qiyang, so that the Marquis of Yan took advantage of the situation to move Qin Hou, who had been hesitating, to re-establish the Tiger Guard............ Speaking of which, the historian really got some benefits from this kid, but the return was nothing. Not to mention, I was still thinking all the way that if there was anything wrong with the origin, I would have to get rid of him...... If I don't give something, I really can't get over it. The one who fought side by side with the Shi family is my brother Shi Wuju, regardless of whether he has left the Shi family or not. ”
Nangong An looked at Shi Wuju with a straight face for a while, and saw that Shi Wuju became more and more empty, and finally smiled: "Speaking of which, the battle in Qiyang was also caused by my subordinates. I also owe Xu Le a lot. Well, I'll go out for you. Xu Le went to Qiyang to join the Tiger Guard, and it was time to raise his own troops, and the only thing that the Marquis could give was Zhuang Tian. Subsidize him with 300 gold squares to make a strong deed**. His personal family with the potential of a warlock, I'll also go and dial it. In this way, you and I finally feel that we have an explanation in our hearts. ”
Shi Wuju breathed a sigh of relief: "These are all details...... Anyway, after thinking about this kid for a few days, it always goes against my normal life...... I always want Xu Le to know that the people who once fought side by side with me are my brothers. No matter what danger I encounter outside, as long as I'm still there, I won't let it go! I'll give him such a promise again!"
Nangong looked at Shi Wuju quietly, and at this time, on the boats behind, the joyful cheers of the soldiers of the Yi'er Army suddenly sounded again. In the distance of Qishui, the Qi**guan Wharf has appeared in sight.
To these Rebel soldiers, they don't know. This return to Qiyin will not be able to live a few days of peace. Shi Wuju will soon lead them to attack Rouran in the west, and at the same time, he will also support the tiger guards who have been re-established in Qiyang to stabilize the position of the Qin Marquis. Not to mention, after Qiang Zhao freed up his hand, it is very likely that he will continue to face this almost invincible enemy!
Did all these burdens fall on the shoulders of Swuju? No one could share them with him?
At this moment, Nangong Anxin's head suddenly swept over Xu Le's figure.
Xu Le fought in the air in Qiyang, a single lone sword, facing the two heroes of the Rui Shi Army and hundreds of soldiers, still unyielding. There is vaguely the demeanor of Shi Wuju when he was a teenager when he led a lone army to the west, thousands of miles westward, and brought the remnants of the Qin people out of the fiasco of Qianhaiyuan.
Will this young man be the next Shi Wuju?
Although the news from Zhao Guo is no longer true, but in Nangong Anxin, the origin of this young man is still a mystery. Xu Le's brilliance has already begun to bloom, what will he bring to the Qin State?
