Chapter 21: A Wilderness Village
Kublai Khan stood in front of the tent, looking around, but he saw that the tents were all over the sky in the snow. The soldiers in front of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info battalion are practicing, and their voices are shocking and murderous. He walked slowly through the camp, and did not respond to the saluters, but looked at the iron rider in front of him, and there was no joy on his face. He muttered: "Where did this Li Changqing come from? Although the stranger of the Zhaoxian Pavilion is difficult to find, it is just a little siege help. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss out on such a talent for governing the world?"
Suddenly it snowed in the sky, dark clouds covered the sun, black pigs crossed the river, the suburbs were cloudy, and the field chicken pavilion was in the pavilion. The surrounding darkness was overwhelming, as if it was night. The snowflakes were sprinkled all over the sky, and the traces of people on the ground were immediately submerged. The north wind howled, rolling up the snow on the ground and dancing with it. Li Changqing stood with his hands in his hands, the snowflakes in the sky fell, but they did not melt on him, he was dressed in green clothes, which had already been covered with a layer of snow white at this time, and he didn't realize it.
He looked at the north from afar and said to himself: "I don't know if it's right or wrong for me to do this!" Don't say that he knows the history of the Song Dynasty, he has only traveled all the way, and he has already understood the general trend of the world. Although Mongolia is a foreign race, it is powerful and invincible at this time, and it is the right time to prosper. At this time, Shangjing in the Southern Song Dynasty had been lost, the official family lived in Lin'an, and the strength was long gone. Although the battle against Mongolia was won, it was less than one layer, but it still injured 1,000 enemies and 800 self-inflicted. He is a cultivator, and Hongchen's disillusionment should not be too concerned, but he knows very well that the Mongols are brutal by nature, and the Han people under his rule are even worse than cattle and horses, and how strong the Great Yuan Dynasty is, but it is only a hundred years old, although it is unpopular because it is a foreign race, but he is more afraid that it is because of this! Although he is unwilling to interfere in the matter of dynastic change, it is really not what he wants for the people of the world to be in a state of misery and unspeakable suffering. His words were to hope that Kublai Khan would repent and understand the affairs of Menghan. He knew that the odds were slim, but it was better than nothing. It's not that he doesn't want to kill him, it's just that at this moment Kublai Khan has not yet come to prominence, and even his brother Meng Ge has not yet ascended the throne, so what's the use of killing him? There are thousands of Mongolian soldiers and people, do you want to kill them all? Tang has Kaiyuan, Zhenguan is prosperous, and his literary reputation is far and wide, and all large and small countries worship him, but his population is only three or four at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and his money and food are far inferior.
As soon as Li Changqing vomited inside, the snow on his body shook off. He shook his head and finally got back on his way. He knew that Yang Guo and the others would eventually reach the Valley of Desperation when they went east, and although the love flowers in the Valley of Desperation were poisonous, he did not take it to heart. Yang Guo and the dragon girl have a very strong relationship, and he can't bear to separate the two, so he will tell the dragon girl the news and let Yang go to find it. The only thing is his revenge for killing his father. There were many inconveniences in the big tent, Li Changqing did not explain much, and this matter had to be talked about next time. sighed in his heart, just wait for his own business, and meet him again.
He galloped day and night, and unconsciously came to the realm of Yuzhou. Yuzhou, also known as the Central Plains, has always been a place where soldiers must fight, since the three emperors and five emperors to the Qin and Han dynasties, its capital is basically in the Central Plains. Just as the "Historical Records" cloud: "The residences of the three generations in the past are all in Heluo, so Songgao is the middle mountain, and the four mountains are like their own side." "After Cao Cao, the king of Qin, Li Shimin, and most of them occupied the Central Plains, they were rich and there was no shortage of money and food, so they could compete for the world. The Northern Song Dynasty set the capital of Kaifeng, and took Luoyang as Xijing and Shangqiu as Nanjing, and for a time the Central Plains was rich, and there was no other in the world. Due to the disaster of the Golden Rebellion, the Northern Song Dynasty perished. And Jin has long been destroyed by the Mongols, so the wealth of the Central Plains has long been a thing of the past.
Li Changqing traveled all the way, but saw that the fields were barren and overgrown with weeds, and although there were villages from time to time, most of the fields were empty, and there was no one in sight, and there was a dilapidated scene. Li Changqing looked at the withered grass all over the ground and sighed: "Although I have heard of Mongolian cruelty for a long time, I have heard most of it. Although I have not seen the Mongol slaughter today, what else do we need to say that this is a fertile land that should have been owned by farmers and houses by farmers, but now it has become so dilapidated?" Although he knew that the prosperity of Mongolia was the general trend, he was quite unhappy when he saw such a scene.
Li Changqing stood still, looking at the distant village, feeling a little sad in his heart. At this time, it was already night, but I didn't even hear the barking of dogs and chickens. Although he has been cultivating for a long time, he has not reached the realm of ruthlessness, and seeing the ruins of the villages in the past, mostly due to the war, he can't help but hate Mongolia even more in his heart. He hesitated, and then went to the village. The village was southwest of him, and it was the place where he had to pass. Although it was night, there was a bright moon hanging high in the sky, and it was not very dark all around. Li Changqing took advantage of the moonlight, although it was not as good as the daylight, but he could see the road clearly, but the road was unhindered.
As he was walking, he saw a fire in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel strange, so he hastened away.
He was very fast, and in a moment he was in front of the village. This village is not big, but there are more than ten households, although there is no human figure, but I faintly hear someone shouting and shouting, mixed with the sound of women crying. Li Changqing was startled in his heart, and rushed towards the place where the voice came from. He walked through the village to the end of the village. The houses in this village are very simple and dilapidated, and when a strong wind blows, the whole house "rattles", and it is obvious that there has been no trace of it for a long time. Although this is a village, it is just a gathering of several peasant families, working together in the fields, which is better than a single family living in the wilderness.
Li Changqing looked at the thatched house, Rao is his heart is excellent, but at this moment, he is also slightly angry. He shouted, "Stop, don't get out of here!" Not far from him, there were three big men, who were strangely decorated and looked very different from the Han Chinese, and they were obviously Mongols. There was no one around here, but I don't know why they got there. The three of them surrounded one person, and it seemed to be a woman. The three of them cursed and acted rudely, and they were facing the woman up and down. Although the woman resisted with all her might, how could a delicate woman be able to defeat three strong men?
When the three of them saw someone coming, they were immediately quite displeased, and shouted one after another: "Where is the boy? Get out, don't spoil the good things of the uncle." Although they cursed, they did not stop moving, and when they heard the "bang", a large piece of his woman's clothes was torn off. When they saw that Li Chang was young and dressed as a scholar, they didn't expect anything, but the three of them were unwilling to stop what they were doing at this time, so they spoke evil words and asked him to leave automatically.
They were full of viciousness, and Li Changqing could not understand Mongolian, so how could he understand them? Li Changqing could not help but be even more angry when he saw that they had not stopped, but had intensified their efforts. He bent down and picked up the stones on the ground, and with a flick of his fingers, they flew out sideways, and fell several feet away, and he didn't know what to do. He has always been quite cultivated, but this time he was angry, and his methods were so powerful that he hit their vital point, and he was not alive.
