Chapter 46: Appreciation
The night was already deep, and the Ming Court outside the tent was blown by the fierce wind, and the burning sound of the fire in the tent crackled, compared with the sound of the cold wind blowing outside the tent, like the murmur of a mother's cradle.
Hai Lanzhu had already fallen asleep on the edge of the table, her slender legs knelt on the ground, and the two pieces of roundness were placed on the edge of the table, gathering together on a large scale, like a cloud of hair and half a face, just looking at it, it made people's blood gush.
Wang Qi reached out and picked up the tea bowl and poured a cup of herbal tea, before he could control his mind and continued to look down and read.
At this moment, Qin Erbao's voice came from outside the tent.
"My lord, there is a group of people and horses who are visiting, waving the banner of the royal court of the Horqin grassland, and they are already three miles away."
"The banner from the Horqin Royal Court, that's going to be a good reception," Wang Qi was expressionless, and continued to flip through the book in his hand: "Order, everyone assembles, the cavalry mounts, and the bow and crossbow are wound!" ”
"Yes! Tai Erbao got the order and silently retreated.
Wang Qi turned around and saw that Hai Lanzhu had woken up, her hair was scattered like a cloud, and she looked at Wang Qi with a pair of beautiful eyes, with a hint of confusion.
"The Horqin Royal Court has sent someone to pick you up," Wang Qi snapped the book shut.
Hai Lanzhu's beautiful eyes flashed when she heard this, and she wanted to get up and take a look outside, but when she saw Wang Qi sitting there safely, she bent her legs back and continued to sit at the table without moving.
At this time, outside the big tent, all the Ming troops were already dressed in fine armor and holding bows, waiting for Wang Qi's order.
In the distance, the Horqin Mongol cavalry armed with torches swaggered towards the Ming army camp.
Not long after, in front of the horse barrier, a sturdy Mongolian young man wearing a bright red velvet hat rode out of the horse, extremely arrogant: "Tell your general to come out and speak!" ”
"Someone unloads!" Qin Erbao's voice was deep and majestic, and behind him were dozens of Ming army soldiers with crossbows, already aiming at the comers.
And in the dark, there are nearly 100 cavalry with crossbows on standby.
The moonlight is cold, reflected on the stainless steel arrow cluster, and the light is extraordinarily impressive.
Although the cavalry on the Mongolian steppe is brave, but sorry, within ten steps, the bow and crossbow of the Ming Dynasty are the most lethal!
When the Mongolian man saw this battle, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he believed that if he dared to take a step forward, he would be shot into a hedgehog immediately!
"His Royal Highness Su He, we are only here to pick up Hailan Zhu Gege, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and you don't have to clash with the Ming army......" Next to the young man was an old man with a long beard, and he was also a little frightened in the face of the Ming army holding a steel bow and crossbow on the opposite side!
Suhe snorted coldly, turned over and dismounted.
The cavalry behind him also dismounted.
"You can only go in and see my family by yourself!" Qin Erbao glanced up and down at this Mongolian Highness, his eyes were striking, as if he was estimating that he could kill him with a few punches.
Su He tightened the python belt around his waist and took a deep breath, he came here with the task assigned by his father, and he couldn't retreat when he came to the door!
Under the cold gaze of the Ming army, Suhe stepped away.
With a bang, the vertical curtains of the tent were pulled up from both sides, and Sukhmai stepped into the big tent.
The fire in the tent shook and was dim.
A young and excessively Ming army general sat behind the table, and Hai Lanzhu stood beside him like a maid, unable to see her expression clearly.
"Mongolian Korqin Sukh has seen General Ming!" Su He had seen the battle outside, and thought it would be better to show more respect to the man in front of him.
"What are you doing here?" Wang Qi sat on a long blanket woven of grizzly bear skin, leaning his back against the stove, unable to see his expression clearly.
Su He glanced at Wang Qi, and then quickly lowered his eyes: "Xiao Wang, come and welcome back our Hailan Zhugege." ”
The Adam's apple of this Horqin prince rolled up and down, and even his body trembled slightly, just now, with just one glance, Wang Qi was sitting there, exuding an aura that Su He was extremely familiar with.
Jianzhou Jurchen, Huang Taiji!
Su He has also seen such power in Huang Taiji, and his father once commented on Huang Taiji: swallowing mountains and rivers, and he was a master at that time.
And today he is here to bring Hai Lanzhu back, so that he can marry Huang Taiji and promote a marriage, even if the Ming court envoy arrives, the general trend has been decided, and he has no power to return to the sky!
But now...... This young Ming Dynasty general is here, I'm afraid things are not so easy.
Su He didn't dare to look up at Wang Qi, so he could only take a deep breath to calm his mood.
"Have you seen Huang Taiji?" Wang Qi was still sitting on the back of the lamp, hidden in the dark, as if asking casually.
"Houjin ......" Su He subconsciously wanted to answer, and then raised his head sharply and blurted out: "No!" ”
Beads of sweat the size of beans left on Sukh's forehead, and the steppe prince could almost hear his own heartbeat.
How did this man know about his father's plans?
Huang Taiji just arrived at the Horqin Grassland Royal Court yesterday, and the faction that belonged to the Ming Dynasty such as Batel has tended to be weak, and the forces that have fallen to Houjin have already taken the initiative, so his father arranged for himself to gallop in the starry night, wanting to tie Hai Lanzhu back on the road, which directly contributed to the big thing!!
As for why you can't choose Hailanzhu?
One said that the identity was precious, and the other said that Huang Taiji had seen Hai Lanzhu once, and fell in love at first sight!
"General, this matter has nothing to do with the Jianzhou Jurchen, but Hai Lanzhu's father, Horqin Belle Zhaisang is seriously ill and wants to see his daughter," Su He's forehead beads of sweat fell from his eyes, and for some reason, facing Wang Qi, he avoided being even more nervous about Horqin Wang Khan.
"My father is seriously ill, so I should have sent someone close to him to pick up Hai Lanzhu, why did he send you over?" Wang Qi shook his head, directly rejected Su He's request, and replied: "Go back, by the way, tell Huang Taiji and ask him to wait for me in the Horqin Royal Court, I am very interested in meeting him." ”
"General, Huang Taiji is indeed not in our department, please forgive me for not being able to tell you about this matter," Su He only felt that Korqin had suffered an unwarranted disaster at this moment.
Sandwiched between the two monsters of Houjin and Daming, if you don't pay attention to it, it will be a catastrophe.
"You can go," Wang Qi waved his hand, signaling that it was time to send off the guests.
Su He opened his mouth, stopped talking, and after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind before bowing down and saying: "Horqin small country tribe, please raise your noble hand at that time!" ”
Hunched over, not hearing Wang Qi's answer for a long time, Su He pursed his mouth tightly and slowly withdrew from the big tent......
"Are you really going to see Huang Taiji?" Since Su He entered the account, Hai Lanzhu, who had not spoken, spoke for the first time.
From beginning to end, Hai Lanzhu thought that Wang Qi would not enter the royal court until Huang Taiji left.
Because Jianzhou Jurchen and Daming met at such a sensitive time, I am afraid it was not simply a matter of meeting each other.
Wang Qi got up slowly, looked at the Suhe people outside the big tent, who had already ridden their horses away, and slowly spoke: "I heard that Huang Taiji is a heroic man in the world, and I just appreciate it. ”
"Outside of Zhenwu Fort, you have defeated the Jianzhou army led by Huang Taiji," Hai Lanzhu asked.
"Heh," Wang Qi turned sideways, the outline of half of his face completely shrouded in shadows, and said slowly, "So, it's just appreciation." ”
