Jin Wushu glanced at Hai Ling and saw a pair of eyes showing a fierce light on the distorted face. He felt shuddering in his heart, knowing that the hatred had been forged. It was a pity that he had not killed this troublesome little beast in time last time. If we get rid of him, who knows if he will become a trouble in the future
dusk.
A group of horses suddenly arrived, it was Wu Qimai and his party. They went ahead and brought a bottle of food and clothes to solve the livelihood problem of the Serpent tribe.
When the savages saw the food, they were overjoyed. The big snake immediately ordered two clan elders to distribute the food first. Lu Wenlong was also happy because Wu Qimai brought a red rabbit horse this time. This horse is called Red Rabbit and is bright red. He has long hair, only the eye circles are surrounded by a circle of snow-white, and the eyeballs are also red, like a rabbit. Looking from a distance, they look like a burning cloud.
When everyone saw this horse, they couldn't help but cheer. Although it was still not as good as Black Moonlight, it was definitely one of the best horses. Lu Wenlong fell in love with this horse at first sight and loved it very much. He got on the horse happily and rode it around for a while, shouting: "Mom , look, how good this horse is, it was given to me by my father, it is better than the bay horse... "
Hua Rong looked at the cheerful child on the horse. The gift he loved made him forget the fight he had just experienced. Forgetting is such an important habit for human beings. Otherwise, every day would be full of memories, and he would not know how painful it would be.
Wu Qimai came over and bowed, very respectfully: "I have been ordered by the Fourth Prince to hand these things over to you alone."
"Thanks."
Hua Rong opened the box and found clothes belonging to himself and Lu Wenlong. The other rattan box was filled with gold and silver jewelry that he had accumulated in the small tent on the grassland last time. But the amount seemed to be twice as much as before. It was obviously Newly added by Jin Wushu.
"Wu Qimai, I'll keep the clothes. You can return these things to the fourth prince."
Wu Qimai's voice was flat: "The fourth prince said that maybe you need to buy a sword and a gun."
She was startled and refused no longer. Indeed, she urgently needed a more sophisticated equipment now.
"The two thousand tons of grain and grass will be delivered in three days. The Fourth Prince will tell you, and the letter of alliance will also be sent. You don't have to worry in the future."
Hua Rong glanced at the people not far away who were eating and drinking, with hope and enthusiasm for survival on their faces, and could only say thank you. The situation was stronger than others, and there was nothing he could do if he didn't accept it.
After Wu Qimai and his party left, Orochi came over. His face was not as happy as the other savages, but full of hesitation: "Chief, do you think we should go south or turn back?"
To the south is the place designated by the King of Qin, which is closer to the Song Kingdom and closer to Qin Hui; to the north, it retreats to the outskirts of Yanjing and becomes a tributary of the Jin Kingdom.
Orochi said intuitively: "I still think King Qin is more reliable."
Hua Rong was a little surprised and glanced at the delighted savages: "Orochi, don't you believe the fourth prince's promise?"
The big snake sighed: "Our home has been burned down by the fire, and we have lost the snake barrier that we relied on for protection. All protection has been completely eradicated. After we return, we will be completely exposed under the eyes of the Kingdom of Jin. We will never be able to protect ourselves again." There is no way to defend yourself..."
Hua Rong nodded secretly. This simple savage did not mean that he was stupid. This was also his worry. When Jin Wushu was alive, Wanyan Hailing dared to quietly send troops to attack without passing by him. What would happen if Jin Wushu lost his power? Or what if he dies
In the face of strength, it is easy to make a promise, but it is even easier to break it. Didn't you see that when the Liao and Song Dynasties signed a contract, the frivolous and incompetent Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty also betrayed his faith and joined forces with the Jurchens to attack the Liao Dynasty. As a result, he burned himself, destroyed himself first, and lost half of his country. It makes people's livelihood miserable.
"Orochi, what do you think we should do?"
The big snake couldn't make up his mind and thought for a while before saying, "I really don't know whether I should accept the food and grass from the Fourth Prince."
"Yes!" Hua Rong's tone was very firm, without any doubt, "They burned down our home, and compensation is what they deserve. We must get food and grass first."
"However, Dajin is cruel and has fought many wars with Yeluda, resulting in countless casualties. How can it be given to us in vain? Will there be many terrible additional clauses?"
This is also what Hua Rong is worried about. Jin Wushu's promise is true, but now that it is issued in the name of Daijin, it cannot be controlled by personal friendship. She smiled bitterly, as the old saying goes, when the fake is true, the truth is also false, Jin Wushu He is definitely a rational person and will always put Daikin's interests above all else. Otherwise, he would not have proposed any "letter of alliance".
"Chief, what should we do?"
"Accept the food and go south."
"Ah? Wouldn't this annoy the Fourth Prince? With the Jin army stationed in Yanjing, wouldn't we be attacking the stone with an egg?" Orochi was worried. He had witnessed the power of the black armored men with his own eyes. This group of men was enough to destroy several members of the Orochi tribe. Not to mention there are hundreds of thousands of troops watching from behind.
Hua Rong immediately made a decision: "Big snake, when the first batch of food and grass is delivered, you will lead the people to go south first, and I will stay and accept the rest."
"Chief, this is too dangerous."
"Don't worry, I will naturally find a solution."
Orochi didn't know what she could do, but seeing that she was confident, he had no choice but to stop asking and immediately went down to make secret arrangements.
The moon was like a veil, slowly spreading over the grassland, bright and bright. Lu Wenlong was tired from riding, and his excitement gradually eased. He ran to his mother and sat down, his forehead covered with sweat.
Hua Rong looked at his high-spirited face and could say that he was the truly happy person tonight.
"Son, the fourth prince treats you well."
"Yes, my father has always loved me. Mom, my father will also treat you well."
Hua Rong smiled, without comment, and wiped the sweat from her son's head. What kind of confusing life path would such a child follow him in the future? Bring it back to Song Dynasty, who can be entrusted to it? To King Qin? Are you going to trouble him again? However, if you don’t give it to him, who else can you give it to
"Wenlong, you go back and follow your fourth prince," these words floated around my lips countless times, but I could never say them out. In order to shirk responsibility, I would throw him out like a baggage. When he grows up, , what if he knew his life experience
Lu Wenlong's eyes were bright, and he just admired his red rabbit horse under the moonlight. Soon, he felt sleepy, and soon fell asleep on the grass. Hua Rong listened to his even and peaceful breathing, not caring about the melancholy, thinking The most critical question: Qin Hui is here, Qin Hui is finally here!
I have been hanging around here for more than a year. Isn't it just to wait for this moment
There was a chilling sound, and she rubbed her eyes, and suddenly she felt blessed. She stood up and took her son's hand: "Wenlong, come with mom for a walk."
Lu Wenlong rubbed his eyes and looked at his mother drowsily: "Where are you going?"
“You’ll know once you go there.”
Under the moonlight, the eighteen selected warriors lined up in a row, the feathers on their heads glowing with a faint light. The big snake asked urgently: "Chief, I will go with you."
Hua Rong looked at this brave man. Behind him were his three wives in the tribe and his seven or eight children. He was like a wolf, leading the team. I couldn't imagine that he What should the tribesmen do if they fall down
"Orochi, you stay, we need you the most here. You can take the fourth prince's food and grass first, and wait for me to sign the alliance when I come back. They will definitely agree."
"yes."
It was the first time he rode a red rabbit horse for a long distance run. Lu Wenlong was very excited and his sleepiness disappeared. When his mother gave the order, he took the lead and ran ahead.
All the horses were well-chosen horses. By dusk, everyone had traveled more than 300 miles. There was a river in front of them. To be precise, it was a criss-crossing lake. The native jungle was densely covered. On the other side, many people stood proudly. The huge creature slowly walked around with its long nose raised.
Lu Wenlong was shocked: "Mom, what kind of monster is that?"
"Elephants are elephants. Don't be afraid. Elephants are very docile and won't hurt anyone."
Hua Rong looked around, but saw all kinds of birds and animals roaming in this jungle, without any fear of human beings. It was obvious that no one had ever set foot there. She stood there, looked at the direction of the sun, and looked at the rolling blades of grass and sand. This is the direction-finding method learned from He Yeren. After two-phase estimation, it was immediately discovered that this was really a jungle on the border of the Song Dynasty.
Could it be that after leaving here, it will be really close to Kaifeng
She looked at this dense jungle, surrounded by shallow mountains. They were not high and only revealed a vague hazy layer of mountains. There were luxuriant water and grass, many animals, and all kinds of wild fruits and vegetables growing here. She Hold a handful of land in your hand and look closely. The soil is also very fertile. This place is not close to Kaifeng, but it is a hidden passage. After you go out here, you will see a vast plain. It is unknown because there are few people there.
No wonder King Qin wanted to come here by himself. If it hadn't been for careful preparation and inspection, how could he insist on going in this direction
A strange feeling arose in her heart. Is this what King Qin was doing these days when he left? Originally, the slight resentment against Zhahe caused by his death seemed to slowly wake up. How could a person like King Qin refuse to save him if he got the news? He could not save anyone, so how could he not save himself
The originally vague worries suddenly became clear: King Qin had made so many secret arrangements, why did he choose this place? Could it be that he also knew the news about Qin Hui? Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated and sweat broke out on her forehead. Killing Qin Hui was something she couldn't forget, but she never thought about asking King Qin to do it for her - it was too dangerous.
He has done enough, how can he continue to pay the price
No wonder he stayed in Yanjing and refused to leave. According to estimates, Li Tinglan's son had already been born, and he hadn't even gone back yet. Was this just to help Yelu Dayong compete in the world
"Girl, girl..." The calls rang in her ears, but that day, she stubbornly refused to look back or stop. Her eyes were moist and she was almost in tears. What did King Qin want to do
"Mom, this is such a good place, more beautiful than the grassland. Mom, look at those elephants... Mom, I really want to touch the elephant's trunk... "
Hua Rong couldn't hear his son's voice at all. He just rolled his eyes blankly and looked at the surrounding scene, as if King Qin was here, hiding behind an unknown big tree, hiding in an unknown jungle. , looking at himself quietly.
