Chapter 114: The Situation in the Northern Barbarians
"Are you still bullying people?" Ye Ying glared at the northern barbarian and said coldly.
"We Northern Barbarians respect heroes like you, and since the hero has spoken, I won't play the iron flute in the future." The Northern Barbarian, who had suffered a loss, seemed to be a different person, and said to Ye Ying with a smile on his face.
Speaking of this northern barbarian, it was also quite strange, but after being beaten, he changed his attitude, and began to be enthusiastic about Ye Ying and his party, and even invited everyone to his house for dinner and rest.
Ye Ying was very sympathetic to this child named Tiedi, and wanted to get along better with this Northern Barbarian, and he could persuade him to be kind to this child, so he accepted the invitation of the Northern Barbarian and came to this roadside courtyard together.
I didn't feel it outside the door, but after entering the door, I found that the family's house was quite large, the facilities in the house were relatively high-grade, and there were at least dozens of servants in the family.
According to the confession of this northern barbarian named Dawasi, a large area of land behind the house belonged to his family, as well as the woods on the hill behind. The main reason why he went to the bazaar to buy so many people was to let his help him plant these lands and forests, which were very valuable in Beiban.
During the conversation, Dawasi told Ye Ying that he was a member of the second prince of the Northern Barbarians, Heihan Wutu, and that Heihan Wutu was currently recruiting talents, ready to compete with the eldest prince Heihan Xiongge. Davasi also suggested that Ye Ying go to the second prince, so that if he wanted to do business in Beiman, it would be much smoother.
It was only at this time that Ye Ying understood why Davasi saw that he was good, and soon changed his attitude and became enthusiastic, it turned out that he wanted to help his master win over talents.
However, Ye Ying did not refuse Davasi's suggestion, saying that he would wait until Lingxing to see the situation before making a decision, seeing that Ye Ying was a little moved, Davasi was very happy, and even gave him a token, when the time came, he could go directly to see the second prince.
In order to express his gratitude, when leaving, Ye Ying also gave Davasi a piece of silk cloth, and said that he was very close to the child named Tiedi, and hoped that Davasi could give him more care, Davasi immediately agreed, but it was not clear what he did specifically.
The Northern Barbarians were very indifferent to the concept of the city, even as the Lingxing of the royal city, it was built very ordinary, the city walls were made of huge stones, and most of the houses in the city were also stone and wood buildings, and the design was a little messy, far less prosperous than those big cities in Daning.
After Ye Ying and his party entered Lingxing City, they first found an inn to settle down, and then sent people to find out the news they needed to know.
The king of the Northern Barbarians is named Heihan Naji, a very capable person, he was originally just the leader of a tribe, but after thirty years of fighting in the east and the west, he managed to recover all kinds of forces in the Northern Barbarians, and built the Beiban into a unified country.
After becoming the king of the Northern Barbarians, Heihan Naji did not restrain himself, giving full play to the brave and ruthless personality of the Hundred Barbarians, constantly harassing the surrounding countries, and Daning, the closest to the Northern Barbarians, became the biggest victim.
However, over the years, due to his advanced age, he has reduced the number of expeditions he has made and he has spent most of his time in the royal city.
In addition to his age, another reason why Hehannaji did not leave the royal city was that the royal city had not been quiet in recent years, and the main reason for this unrest was that his sons were eager to take the throne of Hehannaji.
He had four sons, the eldest son, Hehan Xiongge, the second son, Hehan Wutu, the third son, Hehan Mugu, and the fourth son, Heihan Duowu.
Among the four princes, the eldest prince Hei Han Xiongge and the second prince Hei Han Wutu are the strongest, so they are-for-tat in many things. And the Three Kings Prince Heihan Mugu and the Four Kings Heihan Duowu, although their strength is weaker than that of the eldest brother and the second brother, they also gathered a lot of people around them in order to protect themselves.
Strangely, the Northern Barbarian King Heihannaji did not object to his sons' fight for the throne, and as long as there was no excesses on the part of the parties, he chose to turn a blind eye. Some people even said that there was news that Heihannaji had said that whoever could win the battle would be the most suitable heir to the throne.
This tacit attitude of Hehannaji made the battle between the princes in full swing, and each prince was trying his best to recruit all kinds of talents. The eldest prince and the second prince formed their own factions, and the strength of the two sides was equal, and the third prince and the fourth prince knew that their strength was weak, so they simply joined forces, so a three-legged situation was formed in the royal city.
Hearing these news, Ye Ying couldn't help but sigh, the attraction of this power is indeed too great, and in the face of power, family affection has become an insignificant thing.
After getting this information, Ye Ying quickly made a decision not to follow Davasi's advice to meet the second prince, as an outsider, he could not participate in the battle between these princes, and when the time came, he would not necessarily lose his life in a daze.
And Ye Ying's birthplace and mother Zhu Lian's cemetery also quickly had news, because this place is not a secret in Beiban.
After the two emperors of Daning and those royal relatives and nobles were brought to Beiban, they were all concentrated and placed in Tuwabao in the west of the city, although more than 20 years have passed, these Danian royal families and their descendants still live in this place.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that residence, strictly speaking. It is to detain these Danian royals and their descendants in this Dawei Fort, although they can walk freely in the fort, and can also plant and intermarry, but they do not have the freedom to leave the Tuwei Fort.
Even the relatives of the Daning Emperor who died in these years, and even the two emperors and their concubines, did not get out of the Tuwa Fort, but were buried in a special cemetery behind the Tuwa Fort.
With the death of the two emperors, the guards of the Dawei Fort were not as strong as before, but it was not easy to enter the place. Also, even if it's in. It's also a lot of trouble to come up with.
Hearing these news, Ye Ying fell into silence, it seems that if he wants to go to the place where he was born, or to pay tribute to his mother, according to the current situation, it is a very dangerous thing. However, Ye Ying quickly made a decision, since he came, even if there was danger, he had to break through.
Tuwa Fort is not difficult to find, Ye Ying quickly came to the outside of the fort, and saw that this place was like a small city, surrounded by tall walls, and walked around these walls in a big circle, Ye Ying did not find a place to enter.
Not only that, Ye Ying, who has a particularly keen perception ability, found that in addition to the Northern Barbarian soldiers guarding there on the surface, there are hidden sentry posts everywhere in this Tuwa Fort, and it seems that it is indeed not easy to enter this place.
"Boss, this place is too heavily guarded, we don't need to take this risk." Shan Fu knew Ye Ying best, and seeing that he had been around this Tuwa Fort for a long time, he certainly understood his thoughts, so he persuaded on the side.
Although he is like a brother to Shan Fu, Zhao Hu and others, the identity of Ye Ying's Daning royal family has never revealed his life experience to them. Although from Ye Ying's three mysterious masters, Shan Fu and Zhao Hu knew that Ye Ying's identity was not ordinary, but they never asked. The two only recognize this sixteenth brother, who is also a teacher and friend, and it doesn't matter what Ye Ying's specific identity is.
"It's important to me, and I'm going to have to go in and take a look." Ye Ying didn't explain anything to Shan Fu, but said in a firm tone.
After listening to Ye Ying's words, Shan Fu didn't say anything more, he had formed a habit over the years, as long as Ye Ying decided something, he would do his best to complete it.
For Ye Ying's words, Shan Fu, Qi Jiao and others took the people of the Northern Barbarians to wander around outside this Tuwa Fort for three consecutive days, recording in detail the situation and time rules of the people here entering every day.
"Boss, in addition to the Northern Barbarian soldiers who need to change their guards, there are only the following officials who enter the Tuwa Fort every day. There is only one car that can enter and exit once a day, and there is a car that transports manure, and it goes in at the fourth watch every night, and comes out when it is about five catties; There are also doctors and the like, but the time of entry and exit is uncertain......"
Hearing Shan Fu's detailed explanation of these situations, Ye Ying couldn't help but nodded, it seems that this good brother has really spent a lot of effort on this matter.
"It's obviously impossible to get in with the Northern Barbarian soldiers, but it's almost impossible to enter with these nearby clerks, because most of these people and the Northern Barbarian soldiers who opened the door are acquaintances." Qi Jiao said on the side, this guy rarely used his brain to think about something.
Listening to Qi Jiao and Shan Fu's words, Ye Ying fell into silence, what these two people said was indeed the truth, according to the current situation, it was really a difficult thing to enter this Tuwei Fort.
But when you think about it, it's also a normal thing. The people imprisoned in this Tuwa Fort must be the children of the Daning royal family, if the precautions were not strict, the people in it would have escaped a long time ago.
Zhang Xinpeng sat in the room, quietly looking at a paper bag on the table in front of him, this state has lasted for more than an hour, looking motionless on the surface, but there is a fierce battle in his mind.
As a descendant of the former pilgrimage doctor saint Zhang Zhongjing, Zhang Xinpeng, who has been a doctor for generations, has struggled in Beiban for more than ten years, and finally gained a firm foothold.
But in the afternoon, the arrival of two uninvited guests found Zhang Xinpeng such a big trouble, making him fall into a difficult choice.
Zhang Xinpeng's life experience of nearly fifty years old made him exercise a good eyesight, and the two people who came to him today looked fierce and vicious, but he could judge that these two people were not the kind of people who were extremely vicious.
Although these two people kept saying that they wanted to threaten their children and grandchildren, Zhang Xinpeng was not afraid at all, and he was sure that even if he did not agree to their conditions, these two people would not really embarrass those young people and children.
But what really bothered Zhang Xinpeng was the identity of these two people, although they looked like bandits, they could see that they were good people. The people who can rack their brains like this and want to enter Tuvabao must have a lot to do with the Ming royal family.
Zhang Xinpeng is also a native of Daning, although he has lived in Beiban for more than ten years, but in his bones he still hopes that the people of Daning will live a better life, he wants to help these two people, but looking at the big family behind him, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't make up his mind?
"I, Zhang Xinpeng, have been submissive all my life, leader, I also do a vigorous and big thing, even if I die and see my ancestors, I can puff up my chest." A sense of pride suddenly surged in Zhang Xinpeng's heart, and he couldn't help but stand up.
