Chapter 429(1/2)
Each of them takes their own tricks
The atmosphere inside the yurt suddenly became tense, and the temperature dropped sharply, about three points colder than the howling weather outside the tent. Jing Foer, who had killed people without blinking, suddenly felt the danger. The wild beast instinct, which gradually disappeared with human evolution, suddenly recovered from him at this moment. He immediately made the smartest choice: to watch the wall.
"I can't stay for too long. I have to leave immediately after taking the military armor and clothing tent. Otherwise, once the grassland tribe noticed it, it will be very unfavorable for my future actions!" Cui Ying'er was more impulsive and snatched up some and spoke.
At the same time, she had to quietly admit in her heart that the woman's eyebrows moved, her lips curled, she picked up a cup and her lips, and even sat casually, she had endless charm, every movement had a charm, and a quiet scenery. She was indeed a vixen that charmed all living beings.
"If you dress up well, it will be more handsome, but you will be less like a woman than a rough voice. No wonder, the woman who grew up in a parody village, why did that flirtatious radish claim that this is the only woman he actively wants to pursue? Alas, men, the best ones that you can't chase after are always the best."
Cheng Qiyun raised her jade fingers and slid her hair gracefully, and smiled and said, "Then you don't have to worry about this moment, right? Girl, please sit down. I have been living here for a while. I have known more than you. Everyone is working for... the Duke of the Country. Your success or failure is of great importance. I am responsible for all matters outside the Pass. You should always listen to your plans, right?"
"Oh? Before I left the customs, he told me that when I got outside the customs, I decided on the spot, without being controlled by anyone, and could decide everything on my own. Why is Sister Cheng now responsible for all matters?"
Cui Ying'er glared at her almond eyes in surprise. Before Cheng Qiyun could answer, she suddenly smiled and said, "Oh, I'm really confused. Even if I hold tens of thousands of elite iron cavalry in my hand, cross the grassland and desert, even if it is Boyan, Huosie and Walai, no force dares to underestimate my existence. But when I march and fight, someone must manage my logistics and adjust supplies. Sister Cheng said that she is responsible for all matters. I think these things are referring to?"
She smiled sweetly, and her charming momentarily made people's hearts jump, then she strode forward like a tomboy, taking the main position without hesitation, and sat down with a golden sword, saying, "If you say that, it's right for Sister Cheng to take charge of all the affairs. Well, if you take charge of me... Oh, it's a problem. It's actually the general manager. If you take charge of everything for me, I have no worries!"
Cheng Qiyun's smile froze, and Adnie next to her said "eat". When she saw Cheng Qiyun looking at her "viciously", she hurriedly picked up the cup and put it under her nose, revealing only a pair of black and big eyes.
Cheng Qiyun snorted and said, "Don't underestimate the grassland heroes like Boyan Huosie. Brute force alone is not enough. No matter how sharp a knife is, it will not be lethal in the hands of a three-year-old child. Whether the knife is ruthless depends on the hand holding the knife."
Cui Ying'er raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "So sister thinks, is my Hong Niang a knife, or is it the hand holding the knife?"
Two pairs of eyes that were as sharp as autumn water clashed again. Just like two pairs of sharp swords, neither of them wanted to lose in momentum, and both of them were arrogant. At this moment, a man opened the curtain and hurried in, crossed his hands and said, "Madam!"
"What's the matter?" Cui Ying'er and Cheng Qiyun responded in unexplained voices. They turned their heads and saw that they were Yang Ling's personal guard Liu Dabangcui. Their faces turned red.
Although I had long regarded myself as Yang Ling's person, I had no status after all. At this time, the fight was fierce. When Liu Dabangchui called out, the two of them subconsciously agreed. Wouldn't they lose face?
Liu Dabangcui looked at the two beauties in surprise, not understanding what they agreed to randomly. However, Adni, a foreign girl who has always been a watch from the wall, is the legitimate wife of Yang's family. She was just stared at by Cheng Qiyun, and she was so angry that she did not dare to say anything. At this time, seeing the two beauties who were tense turning their faces in embarrassment, she actually gained the upper hand in the invisible confrontation, and Adni's vanity was suddenly satisfied to the maximum extent.
She put down the teacup hidden on her face, straightened her waist, cleared her throat, and smiled elegantly with elegant temperament and graceful smile: "What's the matter?"
Liu Dabangcui's always big nerves finally found something strange. He swallowed his saliva and said, "I want to ask my wife, can you exchange a batch of saddles, stirrups, weapons, and armored tents for us?"
Adnichi said, "What's wrong? Are the weapons and armor tents that you have dispatched for you that are not enough to supplement your lack?"
Liu Dabangcui smiled dryly and said, "It's not like this, the quantity is enough, but when we went to the warehouse to collect, we found that there were still many new lands stored in the warehouse, and the ones distributed to us were relatively worn, and the styles were messy and weapons were different. Feng Lei was very dissatisfied when he saw it, and he started arguing with your people."
"What did he argue about? I arranged those weapons, armor, tents, saddles, and stirrups," Cheng Qiyun said coldly with a pretty face.
Cui Ying'er became angry when she heard this, slapped the table and angrily shouted: "What's the reason? There are new weapons and armor tents in the warehouse, but they use some varied rags to respond to us. We are going to fight hard on the battlefield. Will you not disappoint your brothers if you do this?"
Cheng Qiyun smiled contemptuously and said slowly: "I have a heart but no brain!"
"Brush" made Cheng Qiyun startle. The Hongniang was obviously still sitting behind the table in the middle. After saying a word, a figure flashed. Somehow she had stood in front of herself. A bright short sword in her palm had already hit her throat.
Cheng Qiyun was startled for a moment, then calmed down, stretched out two green jade fingers, carefully pressed the sword down, and said, "Be careful, don't cut through my skin. I said, don't you like to listen to me, right? I asked you, what are you doing on the grassland? Do you want to start a war directly on behalf of the Ming Dynasty and Boyan or the fire screen? No, on the contrary, you want to hide your true identity, balance their power with the identity of the white-clothed bandits, and encourage them to continue to fight in the internal struggle."
Cheng Qiyun's eyes drooped slightly and she smiled lightly: "Do you think these various weapons, worn-out armor and stirrups are ready? I'll prepare thousands of such land armor for you. It takes more money and time than making brand new weapons and armor.
Do you want a new land? Well, I will give you as much as you want. When you drive your troops to the grassland, you will be full of bright light armor, unified weapons, saddles and military tents, Boyan and Fire Sieve. As long as you are not blind, you will know that you are disguised by the Ming army and want to fish in the water. You also want to run among them to take advantage of the situation to rob? I am afraid it is meat buns to beat dogs, and you will never look back!"
Cheng Qiyun was just ridiculed by her as Manager Cui, but now she finally got the game back, and a smug smile appeared on her face.
Cui Ying'er's face turned red. She and Cheng Qiyun were having a quarrel, so when she heard that she treated herself badly, she immediately took the reason and questioned her without thinking about it. In fact, she realized that there must be a reason.
Even if Cheng Qiyun had long seen her uncomfortable, she would not dare to tamper with such a big deal. Yang Ling suffered the biggest loss. As someone Yang Ling trusted so much, she could speak coldly to herself. But it was impossible to drag Yang Ling back, and it was impossible to ignore the overall situation like this.
Now when I hear that there is a reason, it is not difficult to search for tribes on the grassland that can still be used, but it is not difficult to collect thousands of sets at once. Moreover, in the grassland war, many tribes moved to remote places to escape the war and found various tribes to search for winters when they were difficult. I guess they were working day and night before they left the customs, and I don’t know how long they had been busy.
"Brush!" The sword was back to the sheath, and the Hongmao clasped her fists and bowed: "Sister Cheng, it was my little sister who misunderstood. I apologize to you!"
The Hong Niangzi is straightforward, right is right, wrong is wrong, and there are no sluggish problems. Cheng Qiyun didn't expect that she would immediately wipe her face and apologize to herself. She was stunned and stood up, saying, "Oh, the girl from the Cui family should not be too polite. In fact, we are both outside the border. We are both outside the border. We are all in dangers and are dangerous everywhere. We should have worked together.
When I first met, my sister only tried to talk quickly. I was so offensive to you. If my sister said this, then I would like to apologize to you. Come on, go and invite the leader Feng, and I will explain to him in person. Also, I will have a banquet with the girls of the Cui family and all the heroes."
Adni looked at them in surprise, her mind couldn't turn around for a moment: How could it be... like this? This is the change too fast, right? Is this what the old Chinese saying says, "Don't fight and you won't know each other."
"Bang! I don't agree." Cheng Qiyun was determined.
"I have the right to be arbitrary and only be responsible for him. If you don't agree, please take his orders." Cui Ying'er was so leisurely that she turned her scheming Cheng Qiyun's pretty face turned red.
Cheng Qiyun is spring water, and Hong Niang is flames. Since ancient times, water and fire are incompatible. The two are born to be incompatible. They have just been respectful for a while and started to quarrel again.
Cheng Qiyun was extremely depressed: "This is really a scholar who met a soldier, and it is hard to explain it! In front of this stupid woman who only knows how to use violence, I really have no way to use my skills. If I meet someone who understands, I can understand what I mean with just a little touch, but when I meet the Hongniang...
Cheng Qiyun was full of grief and anger. Now she finally knew what kind of mood she felt when Fan Zeng, the Marquis of Liyang, met that idiot Xiang Yu, but could not abandon him.
Adni looked curiously at the two sisters who were "Sister Cheng" and "Sister Cui" at the dinner table, and suddenly they looked tense again. She couldn't guess how the women of the Ming Dynasty had such complex interpersonal relationships. In order to survive healthily and lively in the Yang family, she chose to remain silent and continue to study tirelessly...
"It's outrageous. You woman and I can't explain clearly! How can you pull people there? That is the junction between the sphere of influence that Boyan regained and the three guards of Duoyan. It's the moment of tension that is about to break out. Are you crazy when you go there? Are you going to provoke a big war?
If you are smarter, you should go to the Fire Screen. Boyan is afraid of increasing the power of the Fire Screen. If he doesn't want to make enemies on both sides, he can only give up the three guards of Duoyan who dare not take the initiative to fight. He will first decide the winner with the Fire Screen. In this way, we will achieve our goal.
But what about you? I can't see that little trick? It's just that I want to get along with the two forces and play well! Master Cui Dazhai, do you know that the court underground cannot reveal to Duoyan's three guards? Boyan also has a lot of soldiers? You are causing trouble!"
Cui Ying'er likes to see her angry. She looks so awkward no matter how she looks like this elder sister, even if there is not a man next to her. Her every frown and smile is extremely charming, as if she is trying to seduce people. No matter how she looks, she looks like a fairy. She looks angry. Now her almond eyes are wide open and her heart is so heartbroken.
She smiled happily and said, "I just want to attract fire. Why do I come from all over the place if I don't attract fire? As for whom I burn, it's hard to say. Then I'll do it when the opportunity comes."
Cheng Qiyun slapped her forehead with her backhand and moaned, "My God, I won't make a decision now, let's talk about it then? You are just kidding the lives of tens of thousands of elite soldiers! Maybe one thing is that you, 18,000 people, will not even have bones and scum left! I have analyzed it for a long time. I've been dry and said, why don't you understand? I'm really playing the piano with a cow."
Cui Ying'er also sighed regretfully and said, "Sister Cheng, I think of it. You should be my Chengda Manager peacefully. You don't understand these things in the world at all. It's true that you are apart from each other."
"The affairs of the rivers and lakes?" Cheng Qiyun fainted: "Oh my God, where did Yang Ling find such a living treasure from, and actually ask her to take charge of such a big event?"
Cui Ying'er smiled and looked at her, holding the cup and said, "Sister Cheng, don't worry, my little sister has her own ideas. Please always leave the reception staff here. We are going to play a horse thief, steal the land, cattle, horses and alpacas, and it is inconvenient for men and women to carry slaves. They will be sent to you for disposal. Come on, after you and I have done this glass of wine, my little sister is about to set off!"
Cheng Qiyun raised her cup in anger and bumped her into a "spoken" way. Then she drank a breath in her chest, and she was anxious to drink this sip. She choked and coughed.
Cui Ying'er smiled and drank the wine in one sip. She stood up with her eyebrows, raised her eyebrows and said, "Brothers are all equipped? Let's go! Let's grab Boyan!"
What does it mean that a wife is not responsible for her husband’s fate? It’s now.
Cheng Qiyun clenched her silver teeth and said nothing. If possible, she really wanted to implement Yang Ling's family law immediately, take off her shoes and use the soles of the shoe to slap Hong Niang's butt! This idiot... no, it's this bold crazy woman, she is going to do a stupid thing to poke a big hole in the sky again!
Late that night, Adni was lying on a small desk, writing a letter to Yang Ling under a bright butter lamp. She used a homemade quill, and the word "di" was not good, but it was quick: "
Dear Yang:
Let me tell you a good news. The beautiful legendary green forest hero Hongma has arrived here safely. She should be your lover, right? Don’t lie to me, the woman’s intuition tells me yes. She has agile skills and skillful sword skills, and she insists on seeing her. She is a woman with independent insights. I admire her very much, although I don’t know if it is right for her to insist on seeing her like this.
Now, the number one wanted criminal of the Ming Empire, the famous bandit leader, has left us after a brief dressing and a sumptuous dinner. According to herself, she is going to be a horse thief next. I really envy her. Everything she does is so exciting and adventurous.
I think if she was exiled to the sea, she would be the most outstanding pirate, a pirate queen. Oh, now she is of course the most outstanding pirate. This is not what she said, but my evaluation, because the first thing she did after becoming a pirate was to decide to steal Boyan Mengke, the prairie king who could not be beaten!
Unfortunately, your beautiful and smart assistant, your other lover, Sister Qiyun, seems to disagree with her. She told me that the decision of Hong Niangzi told us that she was crazy, and you handed over the heavy responsibility to such a crazy man. So you were crazy too.
She told me that Hongmao would fail, and at least it would cause her a lot of trouble, but I don’t think so, the reason is my intuition. I feel that Hongmao must have her tricks when doing this. After all, there is no other woman who can make Sister Yun so angry that she is about to faint, so she should have her own way.
But Sister Qiyun was very nervous. In order to deal with the terrible consequences of the failure of Hong Niang, she discussed something with me tonight. After discussing for a long time, I thought the idea was very good and interesting. I can finally use my strengths to do a big thing.
Considering whether this matter is feasible, further argumentation and practice are needed. I decided to keep you at scrutiny if the facts prove that it is feasible. I will write to you again and tell you that I promise will surprise you.
Let me talk about my situation. Since I came to the outer world, for our shipyard, armor factory, leather workshop, to open up fields and resettle immigrants. In order to set up a ranch in places with abundant water and grass, Sister Qiyun and I almost traveled all over the entire pass.
Dear Yang, the outer space is really a beautiful place. Maybe. The legendary wilderness will discourage many people, but once you get close to it, you will be involuntarily overwhelmed by its unique charm! The endless grasslands, lush forests, excellent quality ores, and countless herds!
God loves this land too much and gives it infinite wealth. I dare to say with absolute certainty that the rich resources here will make the ambitious kings in the West crazy jealousy! I like this here, but I like you even more. It's late at night and I'm going to sleep. My dear, I think of your arms and caresses, and the intimacy between us. I'm going crazy now. I really want to return to you earlier.
Love your wife: Adnie”.
When the first business that the Red Lady decided to be the horse thief opened was to look for Boyan's fierce bad luck and give the Boyan tribe that had not yet recovered from its vitality, Emperor Zhengde's fleet was also rushing south day and night.
He would stop at important prefectures along the way and meet local officials. When the boat arrived in Suqian, Emperor Zhengde got off the dragon boat and met local officials. The Suqian prefect Li Yinji was also an official who opposed the emperor's expedition to the south. He disagreed with the emperor's personal leadership of the southern expedition. In order to express his protest, the prefect prepared a table of the simplest meal.
When Zhengde walked into the restaurant and saw that there were only silkworm pupa, bean sprouts, eggs and other cheapest and common foods on the table, except for the prefect Li who stretched his neck and was willing to sacrifice himself and dared to take the emperor off, the officials in other places were all trembling with a pale face, fearing that the emperor would pull them out and behead them in anger.
Emperor Zhengde understood why this prefect was like this when he saw this scene. As he grew older, especially the excitement of Liu Jin's affairs, Zhengde already knew that the minister who was willing to coax himself and agreed to everything was not necessarily loyal to him and was willing to serve the country and the people. When facing the ministers in front of him, no matter whether his thoughts were right or wrong, at least his heart was sincere and could definitely pass by, so he had a little favor for the prefect Li who was preparing to advise the emperor with blood.
Emperor Zhengde smiled without any concern and said, "I am the emperor in person to fight, why are you so slow to treat me?"
He went to the head to sit down. When he saw that the local officials were nervous and forgot to put chopsticks for him, he got up and grabbed a pair of them on the table next to him, and then called all the officials to sit down and started drinking with everyone. Zhengde also took revenge on the prefect Li, and the emperor personally advised him to drink. How dare the emperor not to toast? One cup after another, the prefect Li, who was empty, got drunk and was taken out by someone. Emperor Zhengde felt angry and was immediately happy. The banquet was over.
Gao Zhandao, the prefect of Yangzhou, heard all the news and went back to report to the master. Gao Zhifu secretly laughed at the prefect Li's ignorant. He held a banquet at Qionghua Tower in Yangzhou, extremely generous, waiting for the emperor to come to please him. Unexpectedly, Zhengde's ship arrived in Yangzhou, but he was very unhappy when he heard about this. He ordered the fleet to continue moving forward and did not disembark at all.
The prefect of Yangzhou was disappointed. He was secretly regretting that a eunuch took off the ship and told him that although he would not drink the wine, the minister still received the filial pill. He asked him to estimate how much money and ointment would be spent on this banquet. The calculation was accurate and converted into silver to the emperor.
When Gao Zhifu heard this, he knew that the emperor was scolding him in disguise. He was so scared that he was sweating coldly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt less at ease. The banquet was paid into silver for military funds, and his resignation was also sent to the imperial guards. He left this good place with oily land and quickly retired to avoid disaster.
The ship was about to arrive at Yizhen. From Yizhen to cross the river, Nanjing arrived. It was soon to fight with King Ning directly and personally command the army to fight, which made Zhengde very excited. He and Tang Yixian stood at the front of the dragon boat and looked at the scenery on both sides of the canal. Although it was already December, it was already snowing heavily in the north, and the mountains and rivers here were still green, but the colors were not as bright as spring and summer.
Tang Yixian was still dressed in maid's outfit. On the one hand, when standing on the bow of the ship, he would inevitably be seen by soldiers on the warship escorted left and right. On the other hand, maid's outfit is easy to wear, and is far less complicated than the imperial concubine's outfit. Tang Yixian also wanted to be relaxed and comfortable.
On the green hillside on the shore, there was a girl in red dress singing a mountain song carrying a water up the mountain. The green mountains on both sides echoed, and the song was as crisp and beautiful as the orioles singing willows. After passing by the vast fleet, this scene was obviously something she had never seen before, especially the giant dragon-shaped ship, so the girl saw it, and her melodious singing came to an abrupt end.
She carried the water and stood on the hillside looking back curiously. Although she couldn't see her eyebrows clearly from afar, her slender figure and the charm that showed between movements and stillness could still feel the softness of her heart. It was indeed a place of water and soil to nourish the other people.
Zhengde chanted happily when he saw this: "I came out for three or five years, and I met a village woman singing. She had her red skirt and exposed her feet, carrying water to the south slope. I stopped to check here, and her handsome eyes were secretly witty. Although it was not as beautiful as my palace maids, the wild flowers were beautiful. The village was full of wine and people were drunk."
"My beloved concubine, how do you think of my poem? Well, remember it, I can hardly recite a poem." Emperor Zhengde said to the official life like a follower.
"I think it's because everyone is drunk without being drunk, and everyone is drunk without being charming." Jealousy is also a flirting method. Tang Yixian glanced at him and looked sour."
"Haha, Xian'er, she is not even as good as my palace maid, so she is naturally even worse than your beloved concubine. I want you to evaluate this poem." Zhengde first said to Yixian, and then said to the daily official.
Yongchun leaned down on the high fourth-floor dragon boat window with his little butt. He looked at the scene of Zhengde and Tang Yixian at the bow of the boat and said to Princess Yongfu: "Sister, the emperor is at the bow of the boat. Should we go down and enjoy the scenery?"
Princess Yongfu was taking off her makeup in front of the mirror, her long hair was dripping off, reflecting a snow-white face, with an extremely gentle and charming charm. After listening to Yongchun's words, she said lazily: "If you feel bored, go down and play. I want to take a shower, I won't go."
Bathing? Yongchun looked at Zhengde at the bow of the boat, and then Yang Ling, who was standing on the deck and pointing at a few generals, turned his eyes and thought to himself. She retracted and clapped her hands and smiled, "After you pass Yizhen, you will be in Nanjing, there are not many opportunities. It is better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Today is sunny, which is just right for seduction. Let's start!"
"Ah?" When Yongfu heard this, the jade comb in his hand almost fell down. She stammered: "Now...now? The sky is blue and white, the world is bright, I...I..." There was a faint red light on her cheeks, which looked like jade.
To be continued...
