Volume 15 Chapter 7 Hu Feng Night Moon (Part II)

It was easy for Yang Ning to sneak out of the camp, but it was difficult to sneak into the depths of the royal court quietly. Although there are singing and dancing in the camp, and the wine is hot, the camp is also full of people, and the fire is like a sea, and even the place where the horns are beautiful cannot help but swaying a little spark. However, after all, this kind of thing cannot be done in front of everyone, so many like-minded young men and women often set up small tents far away from the camp, and snuggle up next to the campfire. This was originally a poetic thing, but it made the entire royal court outside, almost impossible to find a piece of pure land, and a bright moon hung high in the dome, reflected on the frost and snow all over the ground, between heaven and earth, a clear, as if a delicate appearance, under such circumstances, even if Yang Ning exerted all his light skills, he could not cover his body under such a moonlight, so he had to walk slowly, just like an idle Hu teenager, wandering between the tents of various tribes.

It's just that in this way, there are other troubles, Hu people have a hearty temperament, they compare horseback archery during the day, and drink wine at night, even if it is a generational blood feud at the Naadam Conference, they must be put aside for the time being, whether they know it or not, they have to drink happily when they meet, Yang Ning meets young people and girls of the same age along the way with wine, although they can't understand the words in their mouths, but they also understand that they are coming to toast. At first, Yang Ning wanted to ignore it, but unexpectedly aroused the suspicion of a young man of the Hu nationality, and had to lightly tap his acupoint, others thought that the young man was drunk, which made Yang Ning get out of danger. After having experience. Yang Ning did not refuse, so that he did not have to talk to those young men and women, but although he rarely drank alcohol, he was deeply internal, and his expression remained unchanged after drinking dozens of bowls. Or come and pour wine, but there is an endless stream. Fortunately, they were drunk and had nothing to say except for drinking, which avoided the possibility of Yang Ning revealing his identity. Even so, Yang Ning also knew that it was not good, and drank more than a dozen bowls of liquor indiscriminately, so he pretended to be drunk, and those teenagers did not ask him where he came from, so they helped him to the camp next to him to rest, and several Hu girls surrounded him and laughed for a long time before leaving. Yang Ning secretly broke out in a cold sweat. Until no one noticed, he quietly slipped out of the tent, to such a point, Yang Ning also knew that this time was reckless, and it was not as convenient as daytime at night, so after a little thought, he had to turn his head and walk towards the camp where the caravan was, this time he paid attention to concealing his figure, but he didn't meet anyone to stop him from drinking.

Close to the caravan's camp. Gradually, the voice of the people fell cold, Yang Ning walked in the dark night with his head down, even if he was already a master of the grandmaster level, after all, he was a young man who had not yet been weakly crowned, and this time it was not good to be a teacher. made him a little depressed. Climb to the top of the slope and down the slope to the camp where the caravan is located. However, Yang Ning didn't want to go back immediately, subconsciously looked into the distance, wanted to relieve his depressed mood, the moon was as bright as day, he saw the glacier in the distance, he suddenly felt bright, his eyes flowed, and he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a star of fire flickering on the glacier, and he was not surprised in his heart, the water on the glacier was steamy, the frost was cold and the wind was cold, it was in the middle of the day, not to get water, and no one went to the riverside to linger, such a cold night, who would go there to camp?

Curious for a lifetime, Yang Ning simply swept down the hillside, to the light of the fire, this place belongs to the periphery of the royal court, there are few people, there is no need to scruple to meet the Hu people who patrol around, you can use light skills to hurry, the grassland is vast, it seems to be within reach, in fact, even the fastest fierce horse also needs to gallop for a long time, but this distance is naturally effortless at the feet of Yang Ning, and it only took a moment to reach the riverside.

When the fire was extinguished, I saw an emaciated figure lying beside the bonfire, holding a sheepskin bag in his left hand, and he kept looking up and drinking, looking at his appearance, it was the old herdsman who had been his guide during the day---- Chaganbala. Seeing the people he knew, Yang Ning didn't know if he was a little disappointed, seeing that the night was dark, he had no intention of sleeping, so it was better to chat with this person, maybe he could get some news about He Louqi, so he simply showed his figure and said loudly: "Chaganbala, why are you drinking here alone, can I sit down?"

Chaganbala raised his head, caught a glimpse of Yang Ningdi's figure drunkenly, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the little boy, it's not thanks to your gold, I haven't drunk such good wine for a long time, and it's not interesting to drink alone, if the little boy doesn't dislike it, please sit down and drink two bowls, at most ask me to be a guide tomorrow." After saying that, he patted the wolf skin mattress under him and motioned for Yang Ning to sit beside him.

Yang Ning glanced at it, and saw that the wolf skin mattress was worn and greasy, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, waved his sleeves to brush away the snow on the ground, found a relatively clean place to sit down, and waved his hand: "I drank a lot of wine just now, I can't drink anymore, I'm just idle and bored, and I want to talk to someone." ”

Chaganbala raised the wine bag and took a big sip before throwing the wine bag to Yang Ning, and said with a smile: "Didn't you Han people say that there are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, the little boy looks refreshing, but he doesn't look like he is drunk, don't you look down on me and don't want to drink with me?"

Yang Ning caught the wine bag, smiled helplessly, and took a big sip of his head, only to feel that the wine tasted spicy and bitter, it was really not a good wine, not to mention the fine wine in the Central Plains, even compared with the spirits that he poured just now, it was far inferior, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, such a bad wine was already a good wine in the eyes of Chaganbala, I don't know what kind of wine he drinks on weekdays, and threw the wine bag back while thinking.

Chaganbala hurriedly caught it, and drank two big sips in a row, as if to make up for something, Yang Ning looked at it coldly, only to see that his cheeks were red, his withered and thin face was sickly, and his heart moved slightly, only to feel that this person's situation was obviously very difficult, if it was coercion and temptation, maybe he could know the secret of the royal court from his mouth, even if he refused to give in, quietly killed this person, and sank the corpse in the glacier, presumably before the spring blossoms, no one would find his corpse. Thinking of this, Yang Ning did not hide it, and casually took out two pieces of gold from the money bag on his waist. Throwing it in front of Chagan Bala, he said lightly: "Cha Gan Bala, do you know where He Louqi, the national teacher of the Rong people, lives?"

Hearing this, Chaganbala's body shook violently, and the sheepskin bag in his hand trembled even more, spilling the wine inside all over the ground, and his eyes burst into a cold light, even if he was a stoic character like Yang Ning, he could also detect the cold killing intent that seemed to be able to pierce the heart. However, the murderous aura of characters like Chaganbala naturally couldn't deter Yang Ning, a gentle and elegant smile slowly appeared on his delicate face, and his eyes were as deep as a pool revealing a firm look that could not be disobeyed, Yang Ning said calmly: "Chaganbala." I'm asking you, I see that you seem to be very familiar with the inside and outside of the royal court, I don't think you don't know the residence of He Lou Guoshi, what a big deal Hu Rong's marriage is, he came in person to presumably have the intention of marrying, and he shouldn't hide his head and tail. ”

Chaganbala gradually calmed down and did not answer Yang Ning's question. sneered: "It turns out that Gongzi is here for the National Teacher of He Lou." It's really unexpected, I originally thought that Gongzi was a spy from the Central Plains to inquire about the military. ”

Yang Ning was not in a hurry to ask, but said with some curiosity: "How can you think that I am a secret spy of the Central Plains, you must not be able to see if I have martial arts on my body with your eyesight, and I didn't look around during the day to ask, did I show any flaws? Besides, even if I am a secret spy, there is no need to come to your royal court to participate in the Naadam Conference, right?" Yang Ning kept it in his heart, and followed them one by one, but he didn't expect to be seen through by Chaganbala, so he naturally had to ask clearly, and he could check and fill in the gaps.

Chaganbala chuckled. Avoided the first question. said lightly: "Childe asked this sentence, it can be seen that he is not making secret spy materials." What a grand event this Hurong marriage is, not to mention that all the tribes in the grassland will send envoys, don't you Han people also come to so many caravans, although I don't know anything about military and political affairs, but I also know that once the marriage is successful, it is the beginning of a large-scale invasion of the Central Plains by the two tribes, and within two or three years, there will be wars everywhere, this kind of thing even I, a waste person, know it, not to mention you Han generals who are familiar with military books. It's just that the princes of your court are intrigued, and they don't have time to pay attention to the idle things on the grassland, but this matter is so important, even if they can't raise troops to stop it, they must always send some secret spies to find out the inside story, that is, the emperor and those princes don't care, the general of Yanmen will also send people, this matter is well known to our royal court, this time the royal court guards are lax on the surface, but in fact, I don't know how many eyes are staring at you outsiders, just to lure the secret spies of all parties to expose their identities, fortunately, Gongzi is the first day to the royal court today, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise he would have been targeted a long time ago, maybe he has already seen the national teacher of He Lou。 ”

Chaganbala's tone was a little sarcastic, but Yang Ning was not annoyed, just smiled slightly, although he didn't know much about military and political affairs, but after Pingyan's mention, he naturally knew that this Hurong marriage had a major impact on the forces outside the Central Plains, and casually added this question, just knowing that Chaganbala would not easily say where his flaws were, and it was originally an ordinary habit to drive away good fortune and avoid evil, since he was unwilling to answer the first question, most of them would answer the second question, according to his answer, they could not only guess this person's insight and intelligence, but also determine whether he would be open-minded。 Yang Ning has not yet realized that since breaking through the realm of the grandmaster, his wisdom has gradually mellowed, and this time in order to save Qingping, he has used all his wisdom and strategy, after this incident, he is no longer a reckless young man who can only use killing methods, and he will no longer be a pawn puppet at the mercy of others.

got the information he needed, Yang Ning didn't bother to ask where his flaws were, anyway, this Chaganbala is smart and alert, obviously not an ordinary herdsman, such a person will probably know He Louqi's residence, and if he makes a mistake, maybe he will be able to achieve his goal soon, and it doesn't matter if he can hide his identity. Stirred the bonfire a few times, regardless of the flames, picked up a red-hot firewood from the ashes, and after doing all this, the palm of his hand was still as white as jade, and it was spotless, and he felt that Chaganbala's pupils instantly shrunk into a needle tip, and Yang Ning said in a good time: " If you are willing to say it, in addition to these two pieces of gold, I also have a hundred taels of gold in the camp, which can be used as your reward, I heard that in addition to bartering on the grassland, only gold can be used, with this gold, you can live the rest of your life in peace. Why give your life in vain for something inconsequential, you must know that He Louqi is the head of the Sect Master, you don't think I can hurt him, right?"

Chaganbala's expression changed several times, and finally showed a smile, nodded and said: "Childe is right, it is true that no one has hurt the national teacher of He Lou, but the status of the national teacher is so noble." Isn't Childe trying to ask me why I see the flaws, but there's nothing in fact, but Childe is too cautious. ”

See him change the subject. Yang Ning is not anxious, anyway, there is plenty of time, if this person doesn't say it, at most, he will use the technique of torture, and the Martial Dao Sect has countless means to make people survive but not to die, showing a look that seems to be smiling but not smiling, and even moved his body forward. It seemed that he wanted to listen intently to Chaganbala. Chaganbala saw Yang Ning's calm expression. He frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment before saying: "The Han people who have the courage to do business with us, how can they have any martial arts, even if they are superficial, they are often talented, or strong and brave, or light and agile, they will not be useless, otherwise even if they don't have a conflict with us." Even if you encounter horse thieves and sand thieves, you will lose your life, even the proprietor of those businesses, if you have no power to protect yourself, you will not easily go to the grassland to trade. Childe is still young and still. After all, there is also land for bringing young children and nephews to see the world. However, Childe could not see any traces of martial arts cultivation all over his body, and his eyes were not brilliant. There is no heroic spirit between the eyebrows, but he has the courage to go deep into the royal court, and he dares to take Agal to wander around alone, how can it not be suspicious? Not to mention that I have also seen masters of various ethnic groups, although now I have no power to restrain the chicken, but my eyesight is still a little bit, since I can't see the depth of Gongzi's martial arts, and I know that Gongzi can't know martial arts, so I know that Gongzi must be a rare master, and even there are few people in the royal court who can compare with Gongzi. I originally suspected that Gongzi was a secret spy in the Central Plains, but it was a little strange how he could use such a clumsy means to cover up his identity, but it was not uncommon for the children of the prince and princess to come here to earn military merits with their martial arts, so they misunderstood the origin of Gongzi. In fact, I received Gongzi's gold, and I felt that it was impossible to spy on the real military aircraft by means of espionage like Gongzi, so I ignored it, but I didn't expect Gongzi to come for He Lou Guoshi, although I am a Hu person, and the National Teacher is not of the same race, but we who grew up in the desert grassland herdsmen, he is regarded as a god to the old man, if I let me guide you to see the national teacher, it is absolutely impossible, Gongzi is in his prime, why bother to kill himself, or leave the royal court quickly, so as not to affect those who travel with you。 ”

Hearing Chaganbala's explanation, Yang Ning said thoughtfully: "I see, it's too much, it's like this in martial arts, and it's the same in action, if I show some superficial martial arts, it won't attract attention, thank you for your advice, I'll pay attention to it in the future." But listening to your tone, you really know where He Louqi is, it's no wonder, I see that you speak in a clear manner, and you are very sure of your priorities, obviously not an ordinary herdsman, but I don't know what kind of identity you are in the royal court, if I kill you, will anyone find out that you are missing?"

Chaganbala heard the words, only to feel that the murderous aura in the sky came with this faint word, and instantly drowned himself in it, if it weren't for his rich experience, I was afraid that he had already been frightened, and he calmed down for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said: "I'm just a cripple, even no one in the clan will pay attention to my life and death, let alone those warriors in the royal court, if the prince kills me, I'm afraid that there will be no trace of wind and grass, just want me to betray the national teacher of He Lou, but I can't." Before the words fell, he felt that the handsome young man smiled, and then a wisp of stinging pain surged from the bottom of his heart, and then he felt numb, and his whole body was like being covered with ice and snow, but his internal organs seemed to be burning with raging fire.

Could it be that I am going to die, I felt that my eyes were gradually blurring, and the pain was coming in waves like a tide, and under the pressure of cold and heat, Chaganbala only felt that life was worse than death, but he clenched his teeth, and did not even let out a moan. From beginning to end, he didn't resist, firstly, because he was already disheartened, and had no idea of survival, and all kinds of maneuvers were just habitual, and secondly, because he couldn't see the depth of this young man's cultivation, presumably his martial arts were very clever, and he was most likely invincible even if he didn't lose his martial arts, not to mention that he had already become a wasted person now.

The boundless pain seems to be endless, Chaganbala's will is gradually blurred, as if the soul has left the body, I don't know what the world is, there is a faint sound in the ears, the original fragmented scene in the eyes is ever-changing, and gradually condensed into a graceful and beautiful shadow, Chaganbala only felt that his eyes were hot, and he exclaimed sadly: "Ah Xian, are you here to pick me up, you don't hate me anymore, it's just that I have no way to avenge you in this life and this life, Ah Xian." ”

The shadow in his eyes gradually became clearer, looking at the flowers that he had thought about thousands of times in front of his eyes, Chaganbala could no longer hold back the pain in his heart, the memories of the past came one after another, and unconsciously, tears rolled down, but the plain-clothed woman was Cui Dai frowned, and asked quietly: "Why don't you go to the national teacher, he is the number one master in the world, and he will definitely be able to kill all the enemies for me?"

Chaganbala had already lost his mind, and said: "No, no, the national teacher has been poisoned by lovesickness, and he can't set foot in the land of the Central Plains for the rest of his life, that Bo Xing people live in Chang'an, and he is the head of the famous family of Guanlong, if it weren't for this, I would have asked the national teacher to avenge you a long time ago." Ah Xian, don't be sad, in two years, our Hurong clan will attack the Central Plains, Guanlong is the hometown of the Emperor of the Central Plains, we must be the first to attack there, when the time comes, whether it is a prince or a general, or a famous clan, it will be turned into meat under our iron horse, and he will not be an exception. I originally thought that I would be able to live to see that day, and I have been breathing for so many years, but now I am going to accompany you, but it doesn't matter, Ah Xian, we will wait for this day together under Jiuquan, okay?"

The plain-clothed woman not only did not show her face when she heard this, her expression seemed to be more and more sad, Chaganbala tried her best to persuade her, but the woman's face gradually dimmed and dissipated in front of her eyes, Chaganbala was anxious, and she couldn't wait to step forward and hug the woman's phantom tightly, at this moment, an indescribable sharp pain swept through the limbs, Chaganbala suddenly woke up, only to feel that the moon in front of him was sparse, the fire was dim, and he faintly heard the sound of the river whimpering under the ice, and a pair of thoughtful deep phoenix eyes were looking at him condescendingly, but he was still in the world, thinking about the words that he had just spoken between half-dreaming and half-wakingIf you let people know that the national teacher is forced to stay in Da Xianbei Mountain, I am afraid that Hu Rong will start infighting first, where can I invade the Central Plains, thinking of this, Chaganbala only feels cold to the bone.

Yang Ning looked thoughtfully at Chaganbala, whose face was like ashes, even when he was tortured, this herdsman with a disabled hand and foot did not show such a look, he couldn't imagine that he had such an unexpected and significant gain for the first time. Although Yang Ning has practiced the art of perseverance and forbearance, he can resist all kinds of dementoring and hypnotic magic, but he himself is not good at this mastery of the Su Nu Sect, but he saw that Chaganbala was determined, so he gave it a try, in order to achieve his goal, he first used the danger of death to coerce Chaganbala, making him think that he had no other means than torture to extract a confession, and then used endless pain to wear down Chaganbala's will, and then when his mind was turbulent, he used the soul sequestration, a three-pronged approach, which succeeded in one fell swoop. It's just that Yang Ning couldn't have imagined that Chaganbala had such an amazing secret hidden in his heart, and he was just trying to trick him into telling him where He Louqi lived. Even now, Yang Ning doubted the words he heard, how could this be possible, He Louqi, the head of the dignified grandmaster, was actually the same as Qingping, and this Hu man, who had already become a waste, actually had an indescribably close relationship with He Louqi, otherwise how could he know such a secret, but he was still alive in the world.

Yang Ning's heart turned back and forth, and glanced at Chaganbala who collapsed on the ground, a strange light flashed in his eyes, although he didn't expect that there would be such a harvest in advance, but it seemed that there was more hope for saving Qingping, but the more he got to this time, the more he couldn't be impatient, lest it be self-defeating, and he must let this Hu man tell the truth, thinking of this, Yang Ning showed a faint smile, waved his hand lightly, untied the acupoints on Chaganbala's body, and said softly: " Chaganbala, the matter has come to this, it's too late for you to regret it, why don't you tell me about that Ah Xian, I see that although your tone is a little inaccurate, the words are still elegant, could it be that Ah Xian is a Han woman, is she the one who taught you to speak Chinese?"
