Between the eyes, one by one fires were ignited, blooming a warm light in the dark night.
Many people had already clothed themselves by the fire, but most were still awake.
Seeing that the weather is getting colder every day, these rangers can continue to wander around when it is not cold, but it is absolutely impossible when it is cold.
So in the past few days, they discussed whether to find a large team to join.
In fact, the Tatars are not stupid. They would rather be scattered soldiers than join a large team. A large part of the reason is that they don't want to be cannon fodder.
The big tribes have their own leaders, and the generals have their own direct descendants. Small tribes like them or people from tribes who are scattered will be pawns when they go to war.
No one wants to be a pawn. Naturally, they can spend a day at a time, but the weather is cold day by day, the supplies can't keep up, and there is not much prey left to hunt. Sooner or later, they must meet up.
Is this what they are discussing now, or should they delay it
Su Hai and Fu Qing were also discussing their way out.
But their way out is much more remote than these people, Xuanfu will never go back, although it is not known who is dealing with them behind the scenes, but it is obvious that the other party wants their lives.
The correct one was Su Hai's life, Fu Qing was just implicated.
"If I let Lao Tzu know who he is, I'll crush this bastard's head." Su Hai cursed in a low voice. He has scolded this sentence countless times, whenever he suffers or is in pain, he has to scold him, it seems to give him unlimited motivation.
But it does seem to be quite useful, because several times Fu Qing thought that Su Hai was going to die, so he just cursed in a daze, while his injury healed, seeing that he couldn't die.
"If you still don't know who the person who wants your life is, even going back is a dead end."
Su Hai's curse in a low voice was blocked back, firstly because of this sentence, and secondly because the person who spoke was Fu Qing. He used to scold like this quite often, but this silent boy never answered his words. Is this the sun coming out from the west
"Don't you know?"
"Your enemy, how could I know."
"That's not nonsense, I have so many enemies, how do I know who it is?"
It is extremely shameless to be able to say such things in such an environment. In his heart, Fu Qing pulled the man in front of him together with the second prince, third prince, fifth princess and even the imperial concubine. He felt that they were not a family.
"To be able to set up a situation to harm you in that situation at that time, one has a big enmity, and two has a lot of influence in Xuanfu. If you think about it, maybe you can have an idea."
Su Hai thought for a while, and said: "I have many enemies in Datong, but there are not many in Xuanfu. Who has such a big enmity with me? I am also a general soldier, and there is a royal concubine Sister, do you really want your life?"
"Maybe it's because of the imperial concubine that the other party will attack you."
Fu Qing's words gave Su Hai a feeling of seeing the dawn through the clouds and mist. Recently, he was always thinking about himself, but he didn't have a clue, but he had to say that it was related to the imperial concubine.
"You kid has a goal?" Su Hai bumped into him and asked.
Feeling his strength, Fu Qing felt that there should be no problem with his injury, maybe he could grab a horse tomorrow and let him follow behind, so that he would not have to carry him.
This is actually not a big problem, the problem is that Su Hai has a broken mouth and is noisier than Song Ming.
"As far as I know, Concubine Xu Xian in the palace is from the Xuanhua Xu family."
Su Hai had a clarity like being struck by lightning, his brain turned quickly, and he quickly determined the target.
"His grandma, I said that Wang Bagui's son always targeted me intentionally or unintentionally, but I came to be a reinforcement. I thought it was because I was afraid that I would take his credit, so it should be here."
It's not that Su Hai's reaction is slower than others, or that his brain is not as good as Fu Qing's, but that his background has made him weak. He has been operating in Datong for these years, and he rarely comes to Xuanfu. Naturally, he is not as good as Fu Qing's family. The children were deliberately cultivated by the family at a very young age.
Like this kind of family has a relationship with another family, and another family has a relationship with another family. When they start to understand, they must be clear about these things. Moreover, the news in the hands of the Duke of Jin is far from comparable to that of Su Hai's background.
Even if it is added with a plate, it can't be compared.
Furthermore, the Xu family did not have any high-ranking generals in the Xuan Mansion, Su Hai was the chief soldier, so what he saw was of course the chief soldier and deputy chief soldier, how could he see a small general.
This time a typical tiger was wounded by a jackal.
What loses is not strength, but invincibility.
"The Xu family has been operating in Xuanhua for a long time. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a local snake. Although the highest general is only a general, there are more than one such general in the Xu family. Moreover, most of the children of the Xu family joined the army when they became adults, and many of them were in the army. The Xuanhua area is densely covered with towns and camps."
This is also the reason why the Duke of Jin's government thought of marrying a family like the Xu family. It was inconspicuous on the surface, but the business was deeply rooted. At the beginning, it was just a step back, but I never expected that after more than ten years, the Xu family would turn around and deal with the Duke of Jin's mansion.
Of course, Fu Qing was not the main cause. I'm afraid it caused Fu Qing's disappearance. The Xu family is also very upset now. Their main target is Su Hai.
"Then according to this, the Xuan Mansion can't go back?"
Fu Qing glanced at him, but said nothing.
Su Hai's old face was slightly embarrassed, and he just casually said that the Xuan Mansion cannot go back, which is something the two of them have known for a long time.
"Then let's go to Datong."
"What I'm afraid of now is that something is wrong with Datong."
"What do you mean?" Su Hai sat up abruptly and pulled the wound, causing him to gasp in pain and fall back.
The movement here seems to have alarmed the others. Among the group of people sitting around the largest fire, one person turned his head and said in Tatar: "Numaca, what's the matter?"
Fu Qing hurriedly replied in Tatar: "My companion got hurt."
There was a burst of laughter over there, and then I didn't care about this side anymore. And Su Hai looked at the movement here, and then said anxiously: "You mean—"
Isn't this obvious? After all, Su Hai has been missing for so long. The disappearance of a chief soldier will definitely cause an uproar. Even if the Xu family wanted him to die, they could do many things if he disappeared.
And it is precisely because of disappearance that it is easy to operate. If you die, there will be a corpse. How can you get the name of dying for the country. But if it is missing, it can be treason or a spy, and that is how other people can say whatever they want.
In this way, fearing that Datong will be instigated by 'spies', it is very likely that all the senior generals will be replaced, and there may be someone from the other party. They will rush back to Datong after untold hardships. them.
"Then according to what you said, we still have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. No, we can go to Yulin." Su Hai looked at Fu Qing with bright eyes, how could he forget the identity of this kid.
"There is a war going on in Yulin, so we may not be able to go in."
Over the years, Yulin Pass has been run by the Fu family like an iron barrel. It is easy to leave the pass and difficult to enter, especially because they are dressed in such a suit that they were shot to death before they got close.
Besides, there are Tatars and Jin people over there. For some reason, the two Tatars disobeyed the command and ran to Yulinguan. It was not obvious that they were spies, and the Tatars would not spare them.
"It doesn't work like this, and it doesn't work like that, so you have to sit and wait?"
"It's better to look at the situation first, and then plan for the future."
Afterwards, the people sitting around dispersed over there, and of course they could no longer talk here, so they could only take a rest without mentioning it.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and in the second half of the night, the night shifts changed.
One can imagine the mental state of being woken up in the middle of the night. After a while, the person in charge of the night watch fell asleep again, but at this time someone made a movement.
After a muffled sound, the night was still silent.
When they set off on the second day, they found that one person was missing, and the crowd found a beard who had been knocked out in a corner of his back.
After the bearded Hu woke up, the horse was still there, and the knife was still there, but there was no food, so he was so angry that he yelled. But he didn't dare to say that he searched other people's pouches, so he could only admit that he was unlucky.
In fact, things like this often happen among Tatars. Those who are robbed can only consider themselves unlucky, or go to rob others.
Press it and don't mention it, because the bearded people still have some say in the group, which caused them to move closer to the large army at an extremely fast speed.
Afterwards, a simple collection was carried out, and this group of people was merged into this large team. During this period, Su Hai's injuries also healed very quickly, and he was able to walk on horseback soon.
It seems that Fu Qing's speculation gave him unlimited motivation.
In fact, thinking about it, the two of them didn't say anything, but they both knew that the Xu family would definitely not deal with Su Hai for no reason, and there must be a purpose.
So what could be the purpose
Naturally, it was aimed at the imperial concubine and the three princes.
If Su Hai is really labeled as a traitor and spy, the situation of the imperial concubine in Beijing must be not very good.
Leaving aside Pan'er's situation, recently the palace has been full of wit and agitation due to the fight between the Queen and Concubine Xu Xian.
On the surface, the two are still in harmony, but in fact the sharpness in their eyes can no longer be concealed by their smiles. Every time when she greeted her, Pan'er kept silent as usual, but Concubine Hu Shu was quite interested, as if she was watching a good show.
Not a good show.
It is clear that winter is approaching, but the heat in this palace is far more than any time before.
Let's start with Concubine Xu Xian first, the so-called two tigers fighting, there must be casualties.
On that day, Concubine Xu Xian learned that the queen had used secret means to instigate her relationship with the fifth prince's mother and son, and within a few days she turned around and copied it to the eldest prince Zong Duo.
Zong Duo always knew that his father didn't like his mother, but why he didn't like him, he didn't know.
He thought it was because of the imperial concubine, which was also one of the reasons why he was entangled with Jingren Palace. He knew that the imperial concubine was a good person, but he always remembered that it was her who robbed the imperial father, which caused the father and empress to disagree.
But these days, he heard from people around him or on the side of the road, and heard many things that he didn't know.
Once he had an introduction, especially since this matter had troubled him for a long time, he naturally wanted to know the truth. After all, Zong Duo is a member of Kunning Palace and the only reliance of Empress Chen. Zong Duo knows all the secrets of Kunning Palace and even the old man who has served him for a long time.
After several rounds of inquiries, although everyone kept their mouths shut, Zong Duo almost got the truth from their secretive appearance.
If struck by lightning!
Zong Duo never expected his mother to be such a person. He knew that few people in this palace were completely clean, and many people did things that violated their conscience probably out of helplessness.
When the father was still the crown prince, pregnant concubines were brutally murdered one after another. He could still understand that it was not easy for the mother. But the imperial concubine was lost back then, and the grandfather who died violently and the grandmother who committed suicide, who is to blame
Zong Duo couldn't find the answer.
No wonder after my grandfather and grandmother passed away one after another, my mother would shut the door for so long, saying that she was recuperating from her illness, maybe she would be ashamed to see others
As for Zong Duo's anomaly, Empress Chen naturally also found out about it. After some questioning, the truth naturally came to light.
This simply moved Empress Chen's rebellious scales.
No mother wants to expose her ugly face to her children, even if everyone in the world knows it, it doesn’t matter, but when a child looks at you with that questioning and disbelieving look, it is enough to make any mother heartbroken and crazy.
So in the future, no matter how strict Concubine Xu Xian was, she couldn't prevent some gossip from appearing in Zong Mace's ears.
Even on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, another incident happened, Mrs. Zhong of the Zhong family suddenly handed over a sign and entered the palace.
No one asked to see, but went to Ningshou Palace to ask the empress dowager.
