Chapter 472: Hearttracks
It's not that he really doesn't care about Kunlun Mountain, you must know that when he was poisoned by Liang Mengxue to the ground, he could hear the conversation between Huang Liang and Dugu Sword God, plus what Dugu Sword God said later, he already knew that Shen Yanli was actually one of the five uniques of the year, and the wife of Nansheng Xiang Yuanwu, who was quite famous with Dugu Sword God.
In other words, this Shen Yanli is actually the wife of the previous head of the Sun Moon God Sect, the master of Fan Tianya and Ye Wuyan, and the real person behind the Tianyin Sect.
Such a person, regardless of mental and martial arts, where can Zilong be underestimated.
It's just that he also knows that if he wants to save Miao Ling now, he must agree to Shen Yanli's conditions and go to Kunlun Mountain first.
He also knew that the danger in this could not be known to Ma Fengyue.
After pacifying Ma Fengyue, Zilong first discussed the incident with Ma Fengyue, and after cooperating with him, he asked his grandfather Zheng Wang when he arrived in Ningxia, and then he left the Fengyue Gang and went to King An's mansion. Before leaving, he repeatedly assured Ma Fengyue that after he dealt with the affairs of Ningxia, he would definitely go to Kunlun Mountain to pick up Miao Ling.
It's just that Ma Fengyue doesn't want Zilong to be in danger, and she has always asked Zilong not to be in danger easily, even if he really wants to go, he must invite a few masters to go to Nakunlun Mountain together.
Zilong couldn't help but worry about Ma Fengyue, so he casually agreed to Ma Fengyue.
After solving the affairs of the Fengyue Gang, Zilong also came to King An's mansion again, and met King An in King An's study.
At this time, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and in King An's study, only King An was struggling to write in military uniform, but Wan'er was standing aside, quietly studying ink.
Seeing Zilong come in, Wan'er smiled first, and then King An threw away the brush and let Zilong sit down.
After inquiring about Zilong's wishes, and finding that he was willing to devote himself not only to the power of Hetao, but even to the martial arts in the Central Plains Martial Arts, Wang An couldn't help but be extremely happy.
But at the end of the conversation, Zilong said: "Your Highness, forgive Zilong for taking the liberty of asking Your Highness!"
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" King An saw that Zilong was quite solemn, and roughly guessed Zilong's thoughts in his heart, so he immediately waved his hand and said.
Although what His Royal Highness said to my mother was just to admonish the imperial court, so that the imperial court would dismiss Liu Jin and others, and return the government to Qingming, but when it came to the capital, the army gathered, didn't His Highness want to get a glimpse of the artifact?" Although King An has always been a good vassal king who is elegant and humble in Zilong's mind and loves the people like a son, this time the matter is big and involves too much, and Zilong can't help but have some concerns.
"Haha! You can ask it face to face, but you already believe in this king, why bother this king to answer again?" Wang An said with a hearty smile when he heard this.
"Zilong still wants to hear from His Highness himself!" Zilong said solemnly.
"Not to mention that the first emperor was kind to this king and the first king, just to say that this king is also a Ming clan, how can he do something that his relatives are painful and his enemies are happy?" King An also didn't mind, directly dissected his heart, and said, "Besides, the court has its own civil and military officials, if this king really breeds ambitions, do you think they will support me? Do you think that I am confident to lead a large army to the capital to admonish soldiers, and really only rely on the army and you and me?"
"Does Your Highness mean that the cabinet ministers and meritorious relatives in the capital will all be involved in this major event?" Zilong couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard the meaning of King An's words.
"This king can't say it for the time being, you should be able to understand!" King An shook his head and said, "But what this king can tell you clearly is that this major event is the wish of most people in the government and the opposition." Liu Jin is rampant and domineering, and he has long been unpopular!"
"Okay! If only Liu Jin is killed, Zilong is willing to do his best!" Zilong had most of the doubts in his heart, and immediately bowed down and said convincingly.
At that moment, Zilong discussed the details with King An in detail, but he knew from King An's mouth that although the Queen Mother's decree had arrived, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, which was one of the rules set by Taizu.
As the king of the border town, King An can naturally refute such a chaotic fate, so there will be no crisis in this matter for the time being.
And to get things done, there must be excuses. King An also revealed that the excuse this time mainly fell on Zilong's grandfather, Zheng Wang.
Therefore, before Zheng Wang arrived, what Zilong needed to do was to strengthen the training of the Hetao Iron Cavalry, and be ready to go to Ningxia anytime and anywhere to participate in the uprising.
Speaking of Hetao, Zilong couldn't help but think of the grassland.
When he was in the Shaolin Temple, he made an agreement with Prince Bar that after the beginning of spring, together with the Tatars, he would attack from the north and south, clean up the Ordos Department, and expand the power of the Hetao.
But now that the Ningxia uprising is imminent, the main force of the Hetao will participate in it, which not only cannot continue to fulfill the agreement with Prince Bar, but also the Hetao, and even the Ming frontier, are in an extremely dangerous state.
Thinking of this, Zilong couldn't help but express this worry.
King An was thoughtful, but said: "This is also the reason why this king is not in a hurry." Since Dayan Khan came to the throne, the Tatars have been fighting hard and have the posture of unifying the Mongol tribes. If the Ming Dynasty was invaded by the Mongol tribes such as Tatar or Ordos because of the matter between this king and Liu Jin, it would indeed be the king's sin!"
"Then His Highness should have a way to deal with it, right?" Zilong did not say his agreement with Prince Barr, and Wan'er did not have time to say anything about the matter between him and Prince Barr.
Therefore, until now, not much is known about Prince Yubar, King An.
Hearing Zilong's question, King An sighed faintly and said, "This time the king has made three preparations. First, through some connections, the king is ready to send envoys to other Mongol tribes such as Tatar and Yongshebu to ask them to temporarily contain Ordos!"
In recent years, the closest to the Ming frontier defense, the most harassing is the Ordos Department, using the Tatars, Yongshebu and other Mongolian tribes to contain Ordos, which is indeed a way.
It's just that King An has no friendship with the Mongolian tribes, and Zilong doesn't know how he can persuade these Mongolian tribes to agree to this matter.
"The second one is your Hetao!" King An pointed to the dragon and said, "Although this time I will send 100,000 iron horsemen from the Hetao to the south to join this major event." But the people of Hetao are fierce, and the old, weak, women and children can form an army. This king wants to come, it shouldn't be difficult for you to organize tens of thousands of rangers to contain Ordos on the side and serve the Ming Dynasty's Wuxu frontier, right?"
There are more than 100 large and small herdsmen tribes in the Hetao, of which the big ones are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and the small ones are also hundreds or thousands.
After the transfer of 100,000 iron cavalry, a large part of the war potential of the Hetao has indeed been squeezed, but it is indeed possible to pull out tens of thousands of rangers.
It's just that in this way, one will put a burden on the people of Hetao, and the other will not be able to carry out a frontal battle with this ranger, so they can only cruise around the Ordos Department to prevent them from desperately attacking the Ming frontier.
Seeing King An's inquiry, Zilong thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Wait until I go back to Hetao and understand this matter clearly!
At most, when the time comes, the king will find a way to help the people of Hetao, but this major matter is related to the Ming Dynasty, and you must put it in the first place!" Seeing that Zilong did not refuse, King An immediately said happily.
"Your Highness, rest assured, Zilong will be able to do it!" Zilong was also very happy when he heard that King An was willing to help the people of Hetao.
Although the land of Hetao is fertile, after all, there are many materials that need to be purchased from the Central Plains.
"That's good! Third, Jiang Han and Jiang will not accompany him this time!" Wang An said again, "Although Jiang also supports my military advice and pulls Liu Jin down, the border town is important and cannot be left lightly! Therefore, at most, I will transfer a part of the border army, plus our own strength, to the capital!"
"Your Highness is thoughtful, Zilong admires!" King An's three points, from himself to the grassland, are all used thoroughly, but Zilong is not worried about King An's first one, and immediately said, "Actually, Zilong still has some thoughts about His Highness's first one! I have some exchanges with Prince Bal, and Wan'er has also received his favor." I expected that if I sent a joint letter with Wan'er, this Tatar prince of Bar would definitely be willing to come forward and increase Tatar's containment of Ordos, and we would be able to sit back and relax!"
"Oh, can you actually contact Prince Bal?" King An also asked in surprise, originally he just spent a lot of money to contact a Tatar Mongolian nobleman and ask him to mediate on his behalf, but now listening to Zilong's tone, it seems that in the name of Zilong and Wan'er, Prince Bar can come forward and influence the Tatar policy, which makes King An not surprised.
"Yes! Daddy!" Wan'er didn't speak, until this time, after glancing at Zilong, she said, "My daughter was once near Luoyang City, and she was rescued by Prince Bal because of a mistake in her practice......
"What went wrong with the practice?" Wang An was a little surprised when he heard this, picked up Wan'er's wrist vein, and after checking it, he put his mind at ease and said, "Martial arts, you must be gradual and not rash!"
"Well, I know, Daddy!" Wan'er is also quite happy, although this father is not her biological father, but in the past ten years, I am afraid that I am better for myself than my daughter, and when I heard that Wan'er had a problem with my practice, he also came to ask for the first time, obviously really caring.
"It's good to know!" Seeing Wan'er's playful appearance, King An couldn't help but touch her nose, and then said to Zilong, "Although Wan'er is not the biological daughter of this king, but this king has already regarded this child as closer than his own for many years!
In the end, King An was extremely serious.
