The streets of Tianducheng are still full of traffic.
The Gyeonggi area is still prosperous in commerce and trade, and large caravans can be seen on official roads from time to time.
However, in recent days, a large number of unfamiliar faces have appeared in the nearby cities.
In the north, Lin Wanyue and Youqin went to the Mi Tuola pasture.
Before leaving, he handed over the general affairs to the two deputy commanders, ordered to temporarily stop the construction of the city wall, and blocked the entire northern border!
All cities are only allowed in and not out, and an unprecedented curfew has been set up.
Not only that, but the city walls are constantly patrolled by Yulinwei's archers for twelve hours. Even at night, a large number of torches are used to illuminate the city walls. Even a pigeon flying out of the city will be destroyed. Yulinwei shot down.
Lin Wanyue and Youqin Pixing Daiyue walked for three days, and finally arrived at the Mi Tuola pasture.
The majestic Touman tribe now seems to be an exiled tribe, with very simple tents set up around Mitola. The clansmen and soldiers are also pale and skinny, driving a poor number of animals and grazing on the Mitola pasture.
As soon as Lin Wanyue and Youqin came in, they immediately aroused their vigilance. The Huns drew their short knives and surrounded them.
Lin Wanyue glanced at Youqin, Youqin jumped off the horse, and shouted in skilled Xiongnu: "We are the guests of Queen Mansha, please pass the information on your behalf."
A Xiongnu soldier was suspicious and turned around and ran away.
After a while, the Huns surrounding Youqin and Lin Wanyue gave way in an orderly manner. A woman wearing animal skin and wheat skin followed behind a woman wearing a mask.
Lin Wanyue jumped off the horse and looked at Mansha, her hair was messy, as if she hadn't had time to take care of it for a long time, and the animal skin clothes on her body looked a little old, but her aura was not diminished by her appearance. In the slightest, especially those eyes, brown pupils, with a wild atmosphere.
As for the person wearing a mask behind Queen Mansha, Lin Wanyue always felt that her figure was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember anything. The eyes from the two small holes in the mask made Lin Wanyue very uncomfortable. Comfortable.
Lin Wanyue was about to ask Youqin to translate for herself, when Queen Mansa said first, "Lin, you are here."
It was actually a fluent Liguo dialect, with a slightly stiff pronunciation.
"Yes, I'm here to make an appointment. Let's find a place to talk."
"Okay." Mansha nodded, turned around, and walked forward, with Lin Wanyue and Youqin following behind.
The four of them came to a tent. In addition to the large area, the interior was very simple. There was only a bed, a low table, a few small stools, and a special whip randomly hung on the tent.
Lin Wanyue looked around: It seems that for the past six months, the Touman clan has been living in a miserable life under the pursuit of the Mordun clan, from the yellow-faced and skinny clansmen and soldiers, to the poor number of animals, and the queen's humble tent.
It seems that some talk.
Lin Wanyue and Mansha sat down, and Mansha was not polite, and asked straightforwardly, "Tell me, what is your purpose for coming here?"
Lin Wanyue curled the corners of her lips, this Mansha was direct, and it saved her a lot of trouble.
"I'm here this time for one thing, and I hope to cooperate with your ministry."
"What's up?"
"I would like to send troops to help your ministry to capture a piece of fertile grassland, which will be used for your ministry to recuperate and expand its strength, but your ministry must become a barrier for Yangguan City, at least before winter this year, to ensure that Yangguan City will not be disturbed by the Huns. ."
Before Mansha could answer, the masked woman spoke first: "General Lin is not afraid to flick his tongue when he says that. It's really a wishful thinking."
Lin Wanyue frowned, speaking in a succinct voice and extremely standard Liguo dialect.
The woman wearing the mask continued: "You also saw that our headman's strength is not as strong as before, and General Lin wants to trick us into dying for you with just a few words?"
Mansha also nodded, took the conversation and continued: "That's right, besides you broke the covenant we once made, I don't trust you."
Lin Wanyue didn't answer the other party's words, and smiled at Queen Mansha: "I believe Queen Mansha is a smart person. Although my proposal is rude, it is not all good for Touman. The tribe is eyeing tigers, vowing to destroy your tribe, just now I saw that the noble tribe's people looked extremely tired. I think it was caused by fighting for days and running away. Moreover, the number of animals saved by your tribe is also extremely pitiful. Hold on for a while, but in a few months, I think that even if the Modun Department does not find you, your Department will not be able to survive the next cold winter."
After Lin Wanyue finished speaking, the tent fell silent.
Lin Wanyue knew that she was indeed the one who broke the "covenant" first, and now she is suspected of taking advantage of others' danger by making this request; but she never thought that she would cooperate with the Huns. If it wasn't for the situation, how could she Will he come to find Mansha in spite of his blood feud with the Huns
In Lin Wanyue's eyes, the Huns are all the same; it's just that Li Xian has lost contact now, so there must be a change in the capital; she needs to use the secret order of the late emperor to activate the black iron token, and bring an army escorted by the diligent king to fight back to the capital , I am afraid that the army in the north of Jieshi will be eliminated by half, the border defense is empty, and there are other stakes placed by other princes in the Xiongnu. If the Modun department gets the news and enters the space, and let the life in the north be ruined, she will be a sinner through the ages!
In desperation, she could only unite with Mansha and use barbarians to control barbarians, adding a bit of confidence to the northern border; the ultimate goal was to protect the people of the northern border, so Lin Wanyue would be able to convince her conscience by temporarily uniting with the Xiongnu.
Queen Mansa thought for a long time and finally said, "I can promise you..."
"Mansha!" The masked woman shouted in dissatisfaction.
Mansha motioned for the woman to stay calm and continued, "But I have conditions."
"Then ask the queen to talk about it."
"It's simple, like, last time..."
Lin Wanyue and Youqin rushed back non-stop, but this time, she carried a sheepskin with bloody handprints in her arms.
It was the new covenant she signed with Mansha, which was taken by "people with a heart", which can also be regarded as evidence of her "collaboration" with the enemy.
According to the beliefs of the Huns, they first worshipped the gods and then pressed the bloody handprint.
Youqin followed Lin Feixing nervously, and Lin Feixing didn't say a word to her.
"Master..." Youqin called out timidly.
When Lin Wanyue heard the shout, her stiff body slowly relaxed: "Forget it."
…
"Dare to ask the Queen, who did you mean last time?"
Queen Mansha was a little surprised when she saw Lin Feixing asking, but she still truthfully told the whole content of the covenant she signed with Li Xian back then, so after two years, Lin Wanyue finally knew the whole content.
Although it was still unforgivable to steal the northern army's winter food and grass, when Lin Wanyue heard the words "Qiu did not commit any crimes", Lin Wanyue's persistence for more than two years was frozen, and a crack was opened.
On the way back, Lin Wanyue kept thinking about it. Since she and Li Xian got married, although they have had a period of openness and honesty, but... It seems that she and she have never really thought about it from each other's standpoint; Li Xian is a , why not yourself
She suddenly wanted to see Li Xian. They needed to have a good talk. She had too many things to tell her.
Three days later, Lin Wanyue and Youqin returned to the Marshal's Mansion.
Inside the Marshal's Mansion, a "guest" was waiting for Lin Feixing.
"Little Eleven?"
"Humph!" Little Eleven snorted heavily at Lin Feixing. Lin Feixing almost strangled her. Although she was "comforted" by Sister Yu Xian afterwards, she still couldn't let it go.
"How did you come?"
"Nonsense! Among the Shadow Banner Banner Masters, my movement technique is the fastest, here's to you!"
"Little Eleven took out a roll of slightly outdated bright yellow from his arms..."
Yuanding thirty-three years, May 20th.
A great event happened in the north.
Marshal Lin Feixing summoned the three armies, read out the secret decree of the late emperor, asked for the black iron token, and the secret troops "lurking" in the northern army suddenly surfaced.
Some veterans who have joined the army in the north for decades have tears in their eyes, and they finally waited for this day in their lifetime!
There are also some comrades-in-arms sleeping in a tent, and some of them suddenly become members of the "secret army", down to the humble groom, the house soldier, the infantry, the colonel, the battalion commander, the vanguard general, following the secret order The reading, miraculously possessed a second divine identity!
The Northern Territory claims to have an army of 250,000, but it is actually far more than that; some important frontier officials lied to the outside world in order to avoid the suspicion of the imperial court, so the number of troops in the Northern Territory was obviously more than 250,000, and no one would find it strange.
Overnight, the number of Lin Wanyue's teachers of the King of Diligence reached as many as 100,000, and many of them were already "second generation" and "third generation". After the ancestors died, the younger generation found a piece of relics. The wordless rags printed with black iron tokens were treasured as relics.
Now that the imperial decree came out and the mystery was finally solved, they took the proof they left behind and proudly inherited the legacy of their ancestors.
Even Bai Ruida and An Chengbi never thought that there was such an agreement between the Li family and the royal family, who belonged to the marshal.
Lin Wanyue showed the blood book she signed with Mansha to the two deputy marshals. The two deputy marshals were too frightened to speak when they saw the marshal's "fornication" with the Huns, but after seeing the contents on the sheepskin, they were greatly relieved. in one breath.
Lin Wanyue got the support of the two deputy commanders and deployed 50,000 troops. Yangguan City was under the command of An Chengbi. Bai Ruida led Zhang Sanbao, Meng Ni Da, Hou Ye and other generals out of the city for hundreds of miles, bringing enough luggage with them. Assist Queen Mansha and fight against the Huns!
On the day of departure, Lin Wanyue offered sacrifices of three animals on Yangguan City, and burned the documents to the heaven and earth.
There is not enough spirits, and even if you add water, you will have to make one bowl for one hundred thousand troops!
The big scorpion with the word "Lin" was sacrificed, and a hundred thousand troops were pulled out of the city!
In order not to cause panic among the people, the team circled the city, but every time he arrived in a city, Lin Wanyue would call out a small group of soldiers to control the government offices in the city, close the city gates, and only be unable to enter!
Twelve hours are arranged on the city wall, and the archers who rotate day and night, even a pigeon will not want to fly out!
The order Lin Wanyue gave to these soldiers was three days, the 100,000 army left the place, and after three days, the ban would be lifted automatically!
In the Gyeonggi area, the flag owners of the three flags gave full play to their power, and with Lin Feixing's will as an order, they cast a wide net overnight!
All post stations, hub fortresses, suspicious characters, and carrier pigeons are all under control!
Several unremarkable houses in Gyeonggi, I don't know what happened, were burned clean by someone.
But after this big move, the Twelve Shadow Flags that Li Qingcheng had worked hard to manage for many years, and then handed over to Li Xian for development, were almost all exposed, but there was no other way!
Even the three flag owners of the three flags were extremely shocked. It turned out that the number of shadows was so huge, and they penetrated into many corners of the people.
As soon as the special summons came out, beggars on the street, shop assistants in the halls, squires with good looks and kind eyes, and even famous actors in brothels appeared...
Lin Wanyue was riding Long Ran in a dusty manner, walking at the front of the team, looking at the direction of the capital: Princess, wait for me!
