On the endless grassland.
Darkness enveloped the place, and a bonfire was lit near the edge of a river.
After breaking out of Zharif's siege, Luo Xingchen and others walked for a while and finally stopped by the river.
"what fish is this?"
Luo Xingchen looked curiously at a fish being grilled on the bonfire.
This fish is half as long as a human, with star-like markings all over its body and a raised mouth like a sharp knife.
At this moment, under the heat of the bonfire, the fish rolled its eyes as if looking up at the stars.
"The doghead fish is a unique fish in grassland rivers. It has a very ferocious temperament." Yan Tiancan said, flipping the fish's body from time to time.
"How does it taste?" Luo Xingchen has never eaten this kind of fish. If it tastes good, he will pickle it into dried fish and send it back to his parents for a taste.
"If it tastes good, you can try it."
Yan Tiancan took off the fish, stretched out his hand to tear off a large piece of fish meat, and handed it to Luo Xingchen.
The conditions on the grassland are limited, so there is naturally not so much pretentiousness and fussiness. You can just tear up what you eat with your hands.
Luo Xingchen looked at the fish pieces in his hand. Even though the night was dark and the campfire was dim, so he couldn't see clearly, he could vaguely see that the meat of this fish was not delicate enough and was quite rough.
Take a bite and savor it carefully.
If it compares with the deliciousness of fish from the Central Plains, it cannot be compared.
However, fortunately, this kind of fish has a unique taste of grassland, so it is still possible to try it.
"Yes, this pike is interesting. Brother Yan, you can catch two more and I'll pickle them." Luo Xingchen ate the fish in his hand in one go and took out the salt from his luggage.
Carrying refined salt and coarse salt with you has different effects.
The grassland tribesmen are short of salt, so coarse salt can be exchanged with the grassland people for various necessities.
Exchange the coarse salt for food, and eat the refined salt for yourself. This was his original idea.
Now he took some coarse salt and used it to marinate the pike without delaying anything.
Without saying a word, Yan Tiancan caught two more from the river with the fishing net and knife. After packing them up, he handed them over to Luo Xingchen for pickling.
Luo Xingchen handled it quickly and prepared to go into the camp to rest.
At this time, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance.
Yan Tiancan, Ye Yi and others instantly became alert.
"Who could it be so late?" Luo Xingchen was shocked.
It stands to reason that prairie people generally would not run around at night, because the temperature on the grassland drops very quickly at night, and there are also various wild animals roaming outside to hunt, which is very unsafe.
It’s not for any special reason. The people on the grassland all stay in the settlements and don’t travel casually.
After being attacked by Zarif's people, Luo Xingchen became very vigilant.
Just when Luo Xingchen and his party were ready, facing the bonfire, a familiar white horse leaped into view.
The person sitting on the white horse is none other than an acquaintance, Uzhina.
"It's me." Uzhina raised her hands and shouted loudly.
Luo Xingchen gave a look, and everyone put down their weapons.
The only visitor was Uzhina, and even if she had any bad intentions, no one was afraid.
"I'm here to apologize for my brother."
After Uzhina dismounted, she put her hands on the ground and made a prairie apology.
"Miss Uzhina, there's no need to be like this, we all see your difficulties."
Luo Xingchen said: "It's getting late, and it's very dangerous for wolves to wander on the grassland. You can rest here for a while."
"Thank you very much."
Uzhina pursed her lips, stood up and came to the campfire.
"My brother was too reckless. After I got the news, I set off immediately. It was still a step too late. Fortunately, my benefactors had already rushed out, otherwise I would have died of shame."
People from the grasslands are more sincere than people from the Central Plains, and they say whatever they want.
"Let's talk tomorrow, Miss Uzhina, your tent is set up." Luo Xingchen said.
"Okay." Uzhina had no choice but to respond.
Luo Xingchen saw that Wu Zhina had something to say, but the cold wind at night was about to hit, and it was not a good idea to talk under the cold wind. He deliberately interrupted her and said it would not be too late to put off talking about anything until tomorrow.
…
Inside Aries City.
Qi Xingyun was stunned for a moment when he heard that a police officer was assigned to He Anyi.
"Are you crazy? That's He Anyi! Even Zhang Tingyu, Jiang Wulang and I won't let you stare at him anymore. Why are you staring at He Anyi?" Qi Xingyun looked at Wang Yun who was still taking care of Zha Zi very calmly, with a full face. asked suspiciously.
"General He is General He, and Mr. Zhang Ge is Mr. Zhang Ge. They are different emperors." Wang Yun stopped what he was doing and stood respectfully.
The hidden guard of Da Qi is now Qi Xingyun.
But the specific management of Qi Xingyun was handed over to Wang Yun. Wang Yun, who held the internal funds and hidden guards, was really the most powerful eunuch in Da Qi.
Over the years, Qi Xingyun is very satisfied with Hidden Guard's performance.
Not only did the frame-up he was worried about not happen, but he also had frequent interactions with the Han intelligence organizations, and even suppressed the intelligence organizations in Daqi.
The performance of the hidden guards of Liao and Han can also be described as outstanding.
Qi Xingyun has always been very confident about the hidden guards, but today he discovered that things seemed to be beyond his control.
"I remember that we discussed this matter when we met with Zhang Ge. At that time, we decided to cancel the eunuchs as second officers. Why are there still supervisors?" Qi Xingyun asked very seriously.
Wang Yun shook his head and said: "It was not the supervisor, but He Yi who convinced me. And this matter is beneficial to the emperor and General He."
"Cancel all matters involving eunuchs supervising the army. I was present at the time. I am a eunuch. How could I go against the emperor's will?"
Qi Xingyun shook his head. He would never believe that He Anyi would betray him.
He asked suspiciously: "How can it be beneficial to General He? There is someone around him who is restricting him. He has to be careful in everything he does, even what he says."
Wang Yun lowered his hands and said with a smile: "If He Anyi didn't have such a person around him, he would be constrained in everything and be careful in everything."
"This matter is still the fault of He Yizao. He said he was afraid."
"He was afraid. He was afraid that the emperor would suspect He Anyi of having troops and respecting himself. He asked himself to be the inspector to supervise He Anyi's actions and report news to someone regularly."
Qi Xingyun never liked this kind of thing. He frowned and said, "Are you saying that He Anyi knows that there are hidden guards buried beside him?"
"Can't we just put everything on the table? I don't like it when it's so cynical."
Wang Yun placed a pile of papers in front of the emperor, and while placing the important papers in front of the case, he said: "How could He Anyi not know? It is because he knew that he dared to act boldly. It's just that he didn't know the specific details. Just who."
"But according to what He Yi said, He Anyi should have guessed that it was He Yi. Because He Anyi always told He Yi the purpose of every military order he issued."
