Chapter 4 The root of Baiqiang's affliction is Hengshan
It was late at night, and Yutai Hongmou, who had been tired all day, and Yu Xun, who had been running around for days and being tired on a saddle horse, looked at each other - they both saw the tiredness of the other party that was difficult to hide......
Yutai Hongmou smiled bitterly, and was about to say "Rest!", when on the steps in front of the hall, there was a rather rapid sound of footsteps!
Yutai Hongmou and Yu Xun looked out at the same time-
The housekeeper in the house, Yu Taiying, hurriedly walked into the living room to report: There is a white-clothed Xiucai outside the door who asks to see him!
"It's all this time......" Yutai Hongmou couldn't help frowning and groaning.
Yu Xun saw that his father-in-law was embarrassed, and after a little thought, he suggested: "Visiting the door in the middle of the night on such a cold night, is there something particularly important about this person?"
This sentence reminded Yutai Hongmou, and he immediately asked the housekeeper: "That Xiucai, did you mention it—what is it for?"
Yu Taiying replied respectfully: "This, the little one is going to ask him." That person only squeezed out two words: Yokoyama!"
"What?" When he heard this, his fatigue disappeared immediately, and he waved his hand vigorously and instructed the butler: "Go and invite me quickly!
Yutai Hongmou was anxious to leave the living room, when he suddenly remembered that there was another guest in the hall......
He immediately shouted, "Where is Li An?"
Li An responded, walked up tremblingly from under the corridor, and made a gesture: "My lord, what do you command?"
"You arrange for Yu Gongzi to rest in the guest room. After speaking, Yutai Hongmou gestured to Yu Xun with his eyes.
Yu Xun was interested, and immediately retreated.
Bypassing several corridors along the way, he followed Li An to a wing room in the backyard. Li An quickly laid out the futon with his hands and feet, and went to the kitchen behind to bring a basin of hot water......
When he was about to cover the door and leave, Yu Xun stopped him and asked half-jokingly: "Brother Li, you seem to be a little out of mind tonight!"
Li An looked at Yu Xun in confusion, and replied with a little stammer: "Young Master Yu, you are old...... Don't take us people...... Just kidding!"
"Hehe, I just want to make a joke with you! Look at you, you're still serious, hahaha......" Yu Xun, who had been talking a lot to his serious father-in-law, seemed to have found happiness at his own age at this moment!
Yu Xun, who got into the warm quilt, didn't know at this time - after an unusually violent wind blew for several days, just now, a rare heavy snow had fallen outside!
......
At this moment, a small garden was deliberately used outside—separated from the rest of the world, in a very secluded corner of the study, and the two of them were talking by candlelight......
The diligent state affairs of the Tai Hongmou, and the scholar who came late at night in the snow of falling goose feathers, both deliberately lowered their voices - secretly discussing an important matter!
The scholar was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a dark scarf on his head and a white coarse cloth robe. Shivering from the cold, he approached the charcoal stove to warm up the fire, and drank a big bowl of steaming ginger soup......
"Hearing you say this, the Baiqiang people on the other side of Hengshan haven't been completely bought by Na Helianchang?"
"That's right! this is a very definite one!" the white-robed scholar, who had already recovered a little, replied in a humble tone.
"Mr. Pei, this trip is really hard for you!" "Yutai Hongmou looked at the talented young scholar in front of him with pity.
It turned out that the scholar in front of him was named Pei Hong, and he was a local talent in Juyan Prefecture. This Pei Xiucai is unwilling to work hard in the study of classics and history, but he especially likes some mystical miscellaneous studies such as "Qimen Dunjia" and "Mai Physiognomy", and with this "strange art" is still well-known in the local area.
A month ago, Yutai Hongmou, who had admired his name for a long time, secretly found Pei Hong, and after some deep talk, he felt that this person was trustworthy. So, he gave Pei Hong a top-secret mission - to go to Hengshan, where the Baiqiang people live, to secretly visit!
So, why is the Hengshan Baiqiang so important?
In the past ten years, in the northwestern frontier region of the Middle Earth Shenlong Kingdom, the most serious ones are the wild and untamable Baiqiang people! And the most worthy of the Baiqiang army is their original three characteristic troops-"Iron Harrier" ironclad chain horse, "Bubazi" special mountain soldiers, and "Divine Arm Bow" long-range strong crossbowmen!
Among the three ace arms of the Baiqiang army, the soldiers of the "Bubazi" are mainly composed of the Baiqiang people of Hengshan, and the "Divine Arm Bow", a special strong crossbow with a much longer range and extremely lethal than ordinary bows and crossbows, is also mainly produced in the Hengshan area!
Therefore, the "God of War" who has a very strategic vision, Tantai Hongmou, naturally locked his old and spicy eyes on "Hengshan"!
In fact, Pei Hong, who is quite cultivated in metaphysics, also inquired about another piece of information that was definitely unexpected by the scheming Tai Hongmou during this unannounced visit to Hengshan......
