Six hundred and twenty-nine: the hope of the whole village
Early the next morning, Jia Jing handed over the military and political affairs of Chongqing to Xue Qiu in advance, and he went out with a team of personal soldiers, and he was going to personally visit many people, who had a great influence on the imminent war situation.
The inland of Chongqing Mansion has been coming to report again, many leading thousands of soldiers and horses, and only a few hundred people, when Jia Jing went out, those toasts were waiting for Xue Qiu's arrangement, and when he turned his head, a person wearing a python robe sat on a horse, and immediately someone recognized Jia Jing coming: "Hou Ye is here!" ”
I don't know who shouted such a voice, everyone stretched their necks and looked around, and sure enough, they saw Jia Jing behind them, so everyone bowed down excitedly and said, "I've seen Master Hou!" ”
Jia Jing smiled and nodded: "Ben Hou still has important things to deal with, you will settle in the city first, and when Ben Hou returns, I will invite you to the banquet together." ”
"Thank you Ninghou!"
Being able to participate in Jia Jing's banquet, everyone is naturally extremely looking forward to it, so they are all full of red light, originally just thought that they could say a word to Jia Jing, who knew that they could drink with Jia Jing!
Everyone is a little proud, except for a woman in the crowd, this woman is tall, wearing a fish-scale armor, and her long hair is tied behind her head to make a ponytail, she looks sharp, and she is really a heroic girl!
After Jia Jing finished speaking, she just smiled and nodded and left, but the woman frowned slightly and looked at Jia Jing's back, and a young man beside her couldn't help but ask, "Zhensu, what's wrong?" ”
Qin Zhensu shook his head slowly, and then looked around vigilantly before saying to the young man: "Brother Qiancheng, I always feel that something is not right............
Ma Qiancheng said a little strangely when he heard this: "What's not quite right?" Qin Zhensu frowned slightly and said, "Ning Hou is also a famous general on the battlefield, why would he make such a decision?" At this time, the soldiers were in full fighting spirit, and it was the time to be full of energy, so why did they have to hold a banquet first? If the Yang thief leads the troops to attack at this time, and the soldiers only care about drinking and having fun, I am afraid that it will ............"
Ma Qiancheng also frowned slightly when he heard this: "No, won't it?" Zhensu, are you thinking too much? Qin Zhensu sighed helplessly and said: "I'd rather believe it than believe it, Brother Qiancheng, let's take the troops out first." ”
Ma Qiancheng hesitated slightly when he heard this: "Bringing troops out at this time, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion, not to mention ............ You also know that Ma Qiansi and they have already reinforced Yang Thief, and we are eye-catching, if we take the troops out at this time, it is inevitable that some people will gossip............"
Qin Zhensu pondered for a moment and then said to Ma Qiancheng: "In this way, Brother Qiancheng, you will attend the banquet first, but don't ask your soldiers to disarm, be vigilant at any time, I will take my people out first." ”
Ma Qiancheng said helplessly when he heard this: "You only have five hundred people, even if you really meet Yang Thief, how can you resist it?" Forget it, no one else mentioned it, I think we thought about it too much, otherwise how many capable people in the army would have been brought up a long time ago. ”
When Qin Zhensu heard this, he was slightly anxious and said, "Isn't there a time when capable people are thoughtful?" Although there are only 500 people under my command, all of them are elite! Not to mention the extermination of the Yang thief, at least it can hold out until the support comes! ”
Ma Qiancheng was helpless, he knew this girl's character since he was a child, so he didn't say much, so he could only say helplessly: "Even if this is the case, do you know where the Yang thief is going to attack?" Can 500 people still be able to defend against it? ”
Qin Zhensu pondered for a moment and then said firmly: "The Yang thief will definitely attack Deng Kan!" If the Yang thief really has thoughts about our army, it is impossible to bypass Deng Kan, he is ready to take this opportunity to directly kill the prestige of our army! ”
Ma Qiancheng didn't expect Qin Zhensu to really be able to say that she was ugly, and he knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he could only say to Qin Zhensu helplessly: "Since you have made up your mind, then you should be careful." ”
Qin Zhensu nodded, ignored these toasts anymore, and left with a cloak and strutted away! The heroic appearance looks more vigorous than many men!
Ma Qiancheng looked at Qin Zhensu's back and couldn't help but smile helplessly, this girl grew up with him since she was a child, her father was a local tribute student, and later lived here, and was very valued by Ma Qiancheng's father, so the two of them were able to play together since childhood, which can be said to be childhood sweethearts!
This girl is usually no different from other ladies, but only when she is practicing martial arts or leading soldiers, she shows a different temperament and talent!
So Ma Qiancheng knew that when he arrived in the army, even he would not dare to disobey Qin Zhensu's words! Even every time he went to the army and saw Qin Zhensu's appearance, Ma Qiancheng was even a little scared............
But remembering what Zhensu's father secretly told him a few days ago, Ma Qiancheng's mind began to live again, although Zhensu is like this in the army, but she is usually a soft girl!
Qin Zhensu's father told Ma Qiancheng a few days ago about the marriage contract that the two agreed on when they were young, maybe this time the matter of Banzhou will be settled, and the two of them will be able to get married!
Thinking of this, Ma Qiancheng couldn't help but feel a little more beautiful, but ............ Before thinking about these beautiful things, it is indeed necessary to solve the difficulties in front of us!
Ma Qiancheng came here not only because of Jia Jing's recruitment, but also because his mother, Qin, blatantly passed on the position of Shizhu Xuanwei Si Tusi to his younger brother Ma Qiansi a few days ago!
And because Ma Qiansi has Yang Yinglong's help, he doesn't take his brother in his eyes at all! He even personally took the local soldiers of the Shizhu Xuanwei Division to help Yang Yinglong! Is it tolerable or unbearable?
So Ma Qiancheng came here not only for state affairs, but also for family affairs! Qin Zhensu has always followed him to help him in the place under his jurisdiction, so this time he naturally came as a grain officer.
Ma Qiancheng thought that Qin Zhensu wanted to meet a big man like Jia Jing, after all, she had admired those famous generals in history since she was a child, so she brought her with her, who would have expected that Qin Zhensu would provoke Jia Jing's thorn instead............
Ma Qiancheng shook her head helplessly, and she could only go!
Jia Jing didn't know that there was a female middle school hero under his command who was very dissatisfied with what he had done, and had already led his troops to "leave him", and he was thinking about dealing with the matter at hand at this time.
Jia Jing told Liu Ze and the others to stay outside the mountain, and he only entered the three thousand mountains with Qingfeng and Aji!
Although it was just spring, the depths of the jungle were already full of mosquitoes, all of which looked like black whirlwinds, as if they could pounce on people in an instant and eat only their bones!
There are towering ancient trees everywhere, and under your feet are soft branches and dead leaves that have accumulated for I don't know how many years, and the vines that hang down from the branches may become poisonous snakes that grin at you in the next second!
Fortunately, Ah Ji was very familiar with this place, so he smeared a potion on the bodies of the three people, and those poisonous insects and beasts did not dare to approach the three of them, Jia Jing looked at the trees everywhere in front of him, and only felt that he was lost in the lake, and he couldn't tell the direction at all!
But Ah Ji was as familiar as going home, and he didn't mean to stop and check at all, he just walked with his head down, and sometimes even Jia Jing was a little skeptical that he had walked this road before a stick of incense, but Ah Ji still muttered: "It's not ............ yet."
Jia Jing had no choice but to follow behind Ah Ji honestly, after all............ This is really Aji's home!
That's right, the first stop Jia Jing wants to visit is the Miao village in the depths of the 3,000 mountains, it is said that Aji's village is the largest village in the mountains, and Aji Lao said that he is the holy woman in the village, so Jia Jing will take her to see if he can convince those Miao people to stay away from the war between the imperial court and Yang Yinglong.
Ah Ji patted her full little chest and repeatedly assured that as long as she took Jia Jing with her, the clansmen would definitely listen to her! Because she left the village to study in the Han world, she is "the hope of the whole village"! This time I went back and used what I learned from Jia Jing to bring the villagers to get rich!
Jia Jing looked at Ah Ji as a three-nothing girl, and felt a little guilty, he was just casually fooling around, but Ah Ji seemed to feel that he had really learned............
However, with Jia Jing's conscience, Jia Jing quickly recovered from this negative emotion, and it would be good to ask the local government to give these Miao people some preferential treatment when the time comes.
Jia Jing and they didn't know how long they had been gone, and Ah Jicai's eyes glowed slightly and said softly: "It's here!" After walking for so long on the mountain road, even Jia Jing was slightly panting.
When Jia Jing heard what Ah Ji said, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, a path suddenly opened up in front of him, a path led directly to the village, the gate of the village was made of several huge pieces of wood, and most of the houses inside were made of bamboo, which looked like they were some years old.
Ah Ji seemed to be a little impatient to step forward, Jia Jing also hurriedly chased after him with the breeze when he saw this, and Ah Ji hurriedly trotted forward with two arms like a little girl for the first time.
"Stop! What people! ”
At the door of the stockade, there were two Miao guards who scolded in Miao language, and Ah Ji raised his head with bright eyes, and shouted in skilled Miao language: "Brother Yin Jinhong!" Uncle Bo Jinli! It's me! I'm back! ”
The top of the stockade suddenly fell silent, and then after a while, I saw two men dressed as standard Miao people, each holding a spear in their hands, and looked down with some shock: "Xiao Weixi, why are you back!" ”
Jia Jing listened to Ah Ji and the two men muttering a lot in confusion, and then the two men retracted their heads, and after a while, there was an earth-shattering sound inside, Jia Jing and Qingfeng looked at each other, Jia Jing looked at Ah Ji helplessly and said: "This ............"
Sure enough, as soon as Ah Ji changed back to Chinese, the light in his eyes disappeared again, and he thought about it for a long time before he squeezed out two words: "Welcome." ”
Jia Jing was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, maybe this was the Miao people preparing to welcome Ah Ji home, when Jia Jing was in a daze, the stockade had been opened, and then he saw a large number of men and women wearing all kinds of dazzling silver jewelry instantly surrounded him!
Qingfeng was shocked and was just about to step forward, and everyone also surrounded him, Qingfeng anxiously shouted Jia Jing, but those Miao people enthusiastically handed them a black horn.
Qingfeng and Jia Jing were stunned, and then gradually relaxed in the friendly smiles of several Miao people, several Miao people handed the horns in front of Jia Jing, Jia Jing smiled awkwardly and was just about to take it, who knew that a Miao girl would not give it to him, Jia Jing was stunned again.
The Miao people laughed and didn't know what to say, so the Miao girl smiled and gestured to Jia Jing, and Jia Jing realized that they meant that they fed him the horns of the ox to drink.
Jia Jing hurriedly nodded flatteredly, and then bowed slightly, and the Miao girl held the horns in both hands and fed Jia Jing to drink, these wines should be made by these Miao people themselves, and the taste is very spicy!
Jia Jing was afraid of breaking other people's customs and rules, so he didn't dare not drink, who knew that after he forced himself to drink it all, the Miao people present cheered, Jia Jing then understood, perhaps............ You don't have to drink it all!
When the women saw that Jia Jing had drunk it all, they couldn't help but laugh at the woman who was serving the wine, Jia Jing didn't know what they said, but seeing the slightly shy appearance of the Miao girl, Jia Jing probably guessed it, and couldn't help but smile a little embarrassed.
At this time, Ah Ji stepped forward and hugged Jia Jing's arm, like a kitten that had been fried, and said something to those Miao girls, and those Miao girls couldn't help but look at Jia Jing in surprise, and then laughed again, and said something to Ah Ji............
Jia Jing looked at Ah Ji with a slight shock, if it weren't for this trip, he wouldn't have known that Ah Ji could say so much! You can even quarrel with others!
Ah Ji stared at his big eyes, opened his mouth, and then seemed to be speechless, so he ignored those women, Jia Jing was just about to ask what those women said, but saw Ah Ji gently pull his arm: "Clan, patriarch." ”
Jia Jing looked up, and sure enough, he saw an old man walking slowly towards the two of them on crutches, Ah Ji let go of Jia Jing's hand, and hugged the patriarch grandfather closely.
The old man smiled kindly and stroked his little head, and then looked at Jia Jing with eyes full of wisdom, Jia Jing looked at the old man's deep eyes, couldn't help but be in awe, and bowed slightly.
The old man stepped forward, and the men and women around him also took a few steps back sensibly, and the old man said to Jia Jing in a straight and round Chinese dialect: "Guests from afar, welcome to the village." ”
This kind of expression and vocabulary is simply hundreds of streets away............
Jia Jing hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Junior Jia Jing, I came to visit rashly, and I ask the patriarch for forgiveness." The old man shook his head slightly and said, "You are a distinguished guest, there is nothing rash or rash, please come in." ”
Jia Jing nodded, and as he spoke, the old man led Jia Jing into the largest bamboo house in the village.
The two sides sat down separately, and Jia Jing expressed his intention for today: "I know that you may have also received the news, about Banzhou, the matter of Yang Yinglong, the Banzhou Propaganda Division, I think I should have heard about it when I came to the old man's house." ”
The old man smiled and nodded, "Although we live deep in the mountains, there are also many clansmen who live and do business on your territory, and they mentioned it when they came back............ You guys are in a lot of trouble right now. ”
Jia Jing said with a slight doubt: "What did you say?" The old man smiled and shook his head slowly: "Dayan is very powerful, but Dayan is not omnipotent, at least in the southwest, Dayan's control is far worse than Yang Yinglong's. ”
Jia Jing groaned, "What do you mean? The old man smiled and nodded: "Tall Miao, Black Miao, Short Skirt Miao, Miao people are not as united as you think, otherwise, we wouldn't have lived in the mountains all the time............
The old man said, got up slowly, and said, "I know your intentions, but as I said, the Miao people are not a whole, and we don't all obey the orders of the imperial court. ”
Jia Jing frowned tightly and slowly got up, the old man slowly walked in front of Jia Jing and said solemnly: "We, we don't want to participate in your struggle, for one Han to attack another Han people, but it is our relatives who die, this kind of thing will not happen in our stockade." ”
Jia Jing nodded and said, "I understand, the purpose of my visit is just to persuade you not to listen to Yang Yinglong's nonsense, he doesn't have a long time." ”
The old man nodded and said, "We can guarantee that neither our stockade nor the surrounding stockades will be involved, but............ Hei Miao and Short Skirt Miao have a very close relationship with Yang Yinglong, and they probably won't sit idly by. ”
Jia Jing frowned tightly when he heard this, and the old man smiled and said, "But we also have a way." Hearing this, Jia Jing hurriedly said, "Old man, please speak!" ”
The old man trembled and took out a rough map from his arms, and said softly: "Here, there is a road, if the Miao people want to go out of the mountain in a big way, they can only take this road, if you block this road, then the Miao people will never be able to go out of the mountain on a large scale." ”
Jia Jing was slightly shocked when he heard this, because if he said so, this road would be too precious! Because as long as the Han people master this road, the Miao people will never be able to go out of the mountains to attack the Han people!
The old man stretched out his hand to hold Jia Jing's hand and stuffed the map into Jia Jing's hand, Jia Jing looked at the old man with a little surprise, and the old man smiled slightly: "We don't like war, Miao and Han, we should all be a family, family members should trust each other, I hope you can properly deal with those Miao people." ”
Jia Jing was stunned for a moment, looked at the old man smiling at him and patted his hands, then nodded seriously and said, "I understand, thank you for telling me this, I will deal with these things properly." ”
