Seeing her answer, Princess Maode was very happy and took her hand affectionately: "I live as a slave every day, and I am happy when I have to. The grassland scenery is very different. We can go out and see it."
Hua Rong followed her out, but at this time, the scenery by the river was no longer the same as before.
It turned out that the Jurchen soldiers had led a large number of horses, donkeys, camels and other mounts to the river bank to drink water and graze. The sounds of people on the riverside were intertwined with the low sounds of the animals, and a large amount of horse dung and cow dung were scattered far away. .
At this time, it was noon, and the sun was shining brightly above our heads. The animals only drank water, but the Jurchen soldiers were afraid of the heat, so they took off their clothes one by one and went into the water to take a bath.
The Jurchen and Khitan women obviously didn't care, and they were still laughing and joking by the river. Many women even took off their clothes and went into the river to take a bath together.
Yelu Guanyin was also there. She had taken off her clothes at this time. She had a slender figure, very plump, and looked fit and sexy. The men in the river were laughing and joking with her and being very attentive to her. Even some Song girls who went to the countryside to do as the Romans did. She also took off her clothes and played with the man in the water openly.
Hua Rong was very surprised and heard Princess Maode say: "I went to spend the summer with the second prince in June last year, and I realized that the etiquette and customs of Daijin are very different from those of the Central Plains. Male and female monarchs and ministers bathed in the river together without any scruples. This is true among the people, and this is true in the palace. Even the Wolf Lord’s favorite concubine is like this, and everyone doesn’t take it seriously.”
I see.
Looking around at this time, I saw that the river was full of men and women, playing and disturbing each other.
Several Jurchen girls and Song girls who were friends with Maode were shouting at her to take a bath together. Maode asked, "Do you want to go?"
Hua Rong shook his head. Although Hua Rong didn't make a fuss, he was from the Central Plains after all, so he had no choice but to turn around and go back to the tent to sit down.
This meeting did not break up until mid-afternoon for lunch.
When all the princes came out, their faces were red and full of anger.
Jin Wushu returned to his tent and saw Hua Rong sitting inside and looking at a Jurchen scroll on the tent. The Jurchens were not good at painting, but the buffalo scribbled by someone who didn't know who it was was quite lively.
He held a golden lotus in his hand. Seeing her concentration, he quietly walked to her door, reached out and inserted the lotus into her bun.
Hua Rong was startled, subconsciously took off the nasturtium on his head, and said angrily: "What are you doing?"
"The issue discussed today is whether to let Mr. Hun De go..."
"Ah? What's the resolution?"
"Both the Wolf Lord's envoy and my second brother advocate liberation."
"how about you?"
"I didn't speak. I don't want to talk today."
Hua Rong thought about the sincerity in his words, but he pulled Hua Rong away: "I'll take you to see the grassland scenery. It's so hot here."
Hua Rong slapped his hand away and said sternly: "Jin Wu Shu, men and women teach and receive without being intimate, please respect yourself."
Jin Wushu said angrily: "Get away from your bullshit etiquette, this is the Great Jin Dynasty, not the Great Song Dynasty!"
Having said that, after all, it was not easy to pull her back, so I took the lead in walking in front. After walking a few steps, I saw her following me, and I became happy again.
A temporary court had been built on a large open space outside the tent. Zongwang was fond of batting and led a group of soldiers to the batting court. Jin Wushu, however, was not very interested in batting and aimed at the river. He looked at the various wild animals beside him and said enthusiastically: "Hua Rong, I will barbecue wild duck for you in the evening."
Hua Rong was noncommittal and looked around for Yu Wenxuzhong's figure.
Seeing her like this, Jin Wushu smiled and said: "Hua Rong, are you looking for Yu Wenxuzhong? He is in the eldest prince's tent and you can't see him. However, I can tell you that he has not betrayed yet and is lobbying the eldest prince to let him go." Still confused, Mr. Virtue. However, let me tell you a secret: the new Wolf Lord once read Yu Wenxuzhong’s poems and admired him very much. Maybe he will keep him as an attendant or something like that... "
Hua Rong was shocked. When will the competition between these two forces end
Seeing that she was dazed, Jin Wushu stopped stimulating her. He picked up the prey and picked a few more flowers: "Roasted wild duck with nasturtiums, I guarantee you will like it..."
Hua Rong was speechless, walked to the front and looked at a strange wild flower in the river.
Zong Wang led his team to play for more than an hour. He was so exhausted that he was sweating profusely. He ran over with great interest and said loudly: "Fourth brother, it's so hot..."
Jin Wushu looked at the sun above his head and said with a smile: "The sun is strong today, it's too hot..."
Zong Wang saw Hua Rong sitting on the grass opposite, looking into the distance, and then looked back at Jin Wushu's injured face. Seeing a smile on his face, he whispered: "Fourth brother, this time we have come up with all the tricks. We can handle it." Is it done?”
Jin Wushu smiled mysteriously and did not answer.
"Fourth brother, if you have to lose someone this time, you won't be considered a man..." He blinked quietly, "Actually, you don't need to spend so much thought on women, just like Princess Maode, hugging her to bed , even with coaxing and deceiving, women will naturally feel at ease. Moreover, women can be pampered but not beaten, otherwise they will become tigresses and you will never have a good life in this life... "
"Haha, second brother is right."
As Zong Wang spoke, he took off his clothes. Two soldiers came over and, according to his habit, they fetched two buckets of cold water from the river and poured it on him from head to toe.
He laughed loudly: "Hahaha, it's so comfortable. Fourth brother, do you want to try it?"
"I'll wash it later."
Hua Rong was sitting on the side. When she turned around, she saw Zong Wang pouring water on his head like this. She felt strange, but she couldn't look at his "**" anymore, so she turned around and looked ahead.
Jin Wushu happened to take a look at her, smiled inwardly, and raised the wild duck in his hand: "Second brother, roast wild duck tonight, your favorite."
"good."
Zong Wang had already taken a bath and felt very thirsty, so he took a large ladle of cold water and drank it. The water was brought by soldiers from the depths of the willow shade on the river bank. It was very cold. Drinking it, it was quite refreshing. cool.
He drank happily and drank two large gourds in a row. He threw the gourd down and said, "Fourth brother, I'll go back and have a rest first."
"Okay, I'll treat you to roast duck tonight."
As soon as Zongwang left, Jin Wushu also felt hot, so he fetched two buckets of cold water from the willow shade. Just as he was about to wash away, he saw Hua Rong coming from the opposite side.
"Hua Rong, I want to take a bath, can you take a bath?"
Hua Rong saw his blood-dried face, looked at the sweat on his head and the sun above his head, frowned and said, "Will you get sick if you take a bath like this?"
"Huh? We are all like this."
After running around every day and doing a lot of exercise, if you drink cold water down your head, won't you get sick? Are all Jurchens like this
She looked at Jin Wushu's scars and said, "You are injured. If you take a bath with cold water, you will have a fever."
Jin Wushu said happily: "So you are afraid that I will get sick? Hahaha, if you tell me not to wash, I won't wash..."
Hua Rong ignored him, sat down next to him, picked up a nasturtium and looked at the scenery in the distance.
But Zong Wang went back to his tent and lay down. Within half an hour, he felt something was wrong all over and started to have a fever.
The Jurchens do not have the habit of healing. When they get sick, they usually pray to wizards, chant incantations, kill pigs and dogs to bring disaster, or drag the sick person in a car to the mountains and forests to avoid evil spirits.
However, this was not an expedition, there was no wizard in the team, and he had a temporary fever, so no one took it seriously. Even Princess Maode didn't care, and even bathed and played and picked flowers by the river with his wife, Mrs. Tang.
In the evening, Jin Wushu had roasted the wild duck and ordered Wu Qimai to invite the second prince. At this time, Hua Rong was already sitting on the stone opposite him, watching the duck being placed on the fire, smeared with oil and salt, and the oil was It dripped onto the fire and made a crackling sound.
"Hua Rong, this thing is delicious, I guarantee you will like it..."
"Is it."
Jin Wushu suddenly remembered that she did not eat fatty pork dishes, and said bitterly: "You are really difficult to serve!"
"I didn't ask you to serve me."
Before Jin Wushu could answer, he saw Wu Qimai coming in a hurry, with a panicked look on his face: "The fourth prince, the second prince is dying..."
Jin Wushu stood up suddenly: "What did you say?"
"The second prince is critically ill..."
Jin Wushu dropped the roast duck in his hand and ran to the opposite tent. Hua Rong stood aside. He had seen Zong Wang's behavior of pouring cold water and drinking cold water after playing. He knew there was something wrong, but he didn't expect it to be like this. serious.
Jin Wushu rushed into the tent and saw Maode and others kneeling in front of Zongwang's bed, crying loudly.
"Second brother..."
He took a step forward and felt Zong Wang's breath, only to find that Zong Wang had died.
There was a lot of crying inside and outside the tent. More than 80 of Zongwang's wives and concubines knelt in a dark mass.
Everyone was surprised, even Zong Han was very surprised. With a livid face, he walked around outside the tent and returned to his tent. Although he was not close to Zong Wang, the factional struggles in the Jin Kingdom They all relied on Zong Wang to mediate. He was really an indispensable person. Now that he died, he immediately realized that he should make other plans.
On the other side of the river, under the increasingly dark night, the three of them sat among the new grass and wildflower stalks as tall as one person, breathing in the fragrance of early summer on the grassland.
Of course, they did not come to enjoy the grassland scenery.
In the distance, they saw a fire lit opposite them. After a while, a horse's neighing sound came from the fire.
Ma Su immediately whispered: "Your Majesty, this is the death of someone in the Kingdom of Jin. In the Kingdom of Jin, when a high-ranking noble dies, horses and sheep will be thrown into the fire and burned to death as sacrifices. Listening to the screams of the horses, The person who died must be a prince-level person..."
"Could it be that Jin Wushu died?"
King Qin had already stood up and looked at a large group of tents on the other side of the river. It was very easy for the Jin people to find out about such a massive hunt. Even when he first arrived, he vaguely saw a woman sitting alone on one side. , far away from the carnival of everyone. Subconsciously, this must be the girl!
Damn girl, what are you doing in the Jin man's tent
What will happen if it falls into the hands of the golden man
"Your Majesty, we have found out about this peace negotiation and will release a group of Song prisoners soon. What should we do next?"
"It's better to act according to the original plan. It would be better if the person who died was really Jin Wushu."
He bitterly broke off a wild flower: "Damn girl, you can live a free life, but if you come here and fall into the clutches of Jin Wushu, you really deserve to die. I thought Zhao Deji trusted you, and Zhao Deji was trying to harm you. Only I'm afraid that if I don't kill you, you and Yue Pengju, these idiots, will die in the hands of Zhao Deji and Jin Wushu sooner or later... "
