Arilang was sure that if people from the six major tribes counterattacked, these people led by the father-in-law would be the first to bear the brunt. In order to protect their property and livestock from being plundered, and in order to survive, they would kill their enemies without mercy.
This is a conspiracy.
If Khan and the others don't agree, Lord Jiedushi will definitely not let them stay here anymore.
Without the deterrence of Youzhou Iron Cavalry, those small tribes would be dispersed by the rebel clan once they were separated even slightly.
Arilang suddenly found that the person he wanted to help became his side.
He looked at Lord Jiedushi. Even though Lord Jiedushi was smiling, his eyes were like the dark night and as cold as cold stars.
Qimi Khan was stunned for a moment, then looked at his son-in-law, thinking of his filial character and the consequences of rejecting Zhou Manzi. The smile on his face was as stiff as a wooden sculpture: "I am willing to listen to the general's orders."
The other leaders looked at each other and said in unison: "I am willing to listen to the general's orders."
If there is a dead end outside, it is better to stay in Bai Ya. At least this time King Yi Xin is the son-in-law of Qimi Khan, so he can be relied upon. What's more, the Youzhou cavalry are also stationed in Hui Yi, so they feel more at ease.
As for the further things, maybe they have thought about it, but they don't care, they just want the people of their tribe to live well.
Until the banquet was over, Arilang felt like he was in a daze. When he woke up, he was already on the city wall.
I heard that this is the place where my father fell from the building.
Arilang was blowing the cold wind and looked at the lonely moon in the sky. He suddenly discovered that Lord Jiedushi was also on the city wall.
Zhou Xu also noticed the third prince and felt that it was a bit unlucky, so he wanted to think about his wife while there were few people around.
"Sir, is this your kindness to the Guiyi tribe?" Arilang drank and smelled of alcohol all over his body. This kind of bloody kindness was something that Arilang never dared to think of in the past.
Zhou Xu said calmly: "When the cold winter comes, I give them a place to stay and many people can survive. Isn't this enough?"
Arilang was silent for a moment: "But more people died." He suddenly remembered something: "Does your wife know that you are doing this?"
Zhou Xu slapped the third prince on the face with a black whip, and said in a sinister tone, "Madam is kind-hearted and can't bear to see this."
He didn't want her to know these things either. Zhou Xu couldn't tell at this moment how much of his thoughts were behind letting his wife leave.
After all, he still hopes to be better and like a hero in front of his wife.
"Arilang, in this situation, do you want to help the Guiyi tribe where your father-in-law, wife and children live, or do you want to help the rebel alliance?"
Arilang held his head in pain, avoiding his inner questioning.
In the end, he found that he would only help the Guiyi tribe led by his father-in-law, not the rebel alliance where more people would die, even if he knew there were many innocent people.
Arilang stumbled and ran down.
Zhou Xu and others left and sneered.
Sarcastic and indifferent.
After a while, he looked at the moon.
I wonder how Madam is doing.
Chapter 103
Xiao Luolan was very happy.
She was riding a horse. It had been three or four days since she left Huiyi. The weather had always been good. Due to the cold weather, the snow that had fallen some time ago had not melted away, so at a glance, it was still as continuous as snow satin. plain.
The noon sun shone brightly on the advancing team.
I got bored riding in a carriage a few days ago, so I went out to ride a horse to get some fresh air. With a smile on her face, the man in black clothes landed on the roof of the carriage not far away, and made a clear chirp from time to time. Miss Zheng, who loves to play, She has been teasing Wuyilang since early in the morning, hoping that it can fall on her shoulders so that she can show off her power. On the side, young master He Jin is banging the wooden fish and chanting Buddhist scriptures. Occasionally, he will persuade Miss Zheng not to climb on the roof of the car. But Miss Zheng didn't listen to He Jin.
Xiao Luolan felt cute watching the two people bickering. Although it was a season of depression, she still felt a vigorous vitality, like a flower hidden in the frozen soil. When spring comes, it will emerge. germination.
It's so lively and exciting.
"Madam, is your hand stove still hot?" Dongxue can also ride and shoot, and her skills are not bad immediately. She caught up with the mistress, holding an exquisite hand stove in her arms. The previous hand stove was given to her by the mistress in the morning. , It's noon now, Dongxue estimates that the temperature of the hand stove should have dropped.
"Hot." Xiao Luolan responded with a smile. She raised her hand and wore a black bear skin cloak. The wide cloak covered her whole body. This cloak was given to her by Sect Master Zhou when he was leaving. Hers is particularly windproof and warm.
Dongxue touched her mistress's hand, which was warm.
Xiao Luolan asked Dongxue to use the stove by herself and not to worry about her. She was older than these little girls and could take good care of herself.
Dongxue bent her eyes, the hand stove in her hand was so warm and ironing that it could warm her heart.
The warm winter sun shines on the mistress's body. The sun is shining brightly. Even the mistress's hair is floating with a faint golden light, as if even the sun prefers her. The black bearskin cloak makes the mistress's skin even whiter. When she smiles, her eyes exude a mature look, with the transparent tenderness of an older woman.
"What do you want to eat at night, mistress?" Dongxue asked. They came back early. The master not only gave him many boxes of gold and silver jewelry, but also many precious medicinal materials and various precious nourishing supplements. He was worried that the mistress might not be used to it. The bitter cold in the north makes me sick.
"I asked the fireman who was accompanying the army. He said it was cold. I would kill some sheep and make mutton soup for the soldiers to drink in the evening. Is it okay if I get some mutton and make mutton pepper pancakes?" Dong Xue said with a smile. The mistress is getting closer and closer.
Xiao Luolan nodded: "Okay." She said after a while: "Let's make a sweet soup with white fungus and red dates to eat tonight."
Dongxue responded happily and asked again: "Is there anything else you want to eat, mistress?"
Xiao Luolan shook his head: "No more."
Dong Xue suddenly laughed out loud: "Madam, look, the man in black clothes has flown away."
Xiao Luolan looked up and saw that the man in black clothes was flying high in the blue sky and quickly disappeared from everyone's eyes.
"I guess she thinks Miss Zheng is too annoying." Dong Xue guessed.
Just when Zheng Yuxin heard this, he immediately jumped on the back of the carriage and said loudly: "No, Wu Yilang obviously wants to go back to Lord Jieduzhi. Didn't you see that the direction Wu Yilang is going back to is back to Yicheng?" ?”
When Xiao Luolan heard this, he turned his head and glanced at the white rear, but naturally saw nothing.
Zheng Yuxin covered her mouth, a little annoyed. In her heart, the mistress and the lord were a very loving couple. Seeing the mistress look back, she guessed that the mistress was thinking about the lord.
Dongxue glared at Zheng Yuxin and said, "You also have to cook with me tonight." This little girl took advantage of her mistress's liking for her and often ate at her place. Of course, her mistress did not favor one over the other and allowed her to do the same. Come and eat together.
In the team, including the mistress, there were only three women. Dr. Li Fan and Li were still returning to Yicheng and did not follow. Probably for this reason, the mistress was very kind to them.
The mistress said that eating alone was a bit boring. Seeing how delicious the food was, she asked her and Miss Zheng to eat together in the tent. Except for the difference in seating, everything else was the same.
After eating, the mistress will prepare gifts for the young lady under the dim light, and also embroider a few handkerchiefs. The mistress also wants to get some pink sachets. Miss Zheng will read a book aside, while Dong Xue Beside the charcoal basin, roast chestnuts and sometimes pears for the mistress.
Although she was on the march, Dongxue felt that such a life was extremely comfortable.
"I know." Zheng Yuxin said quickly.
Xiao Luoran smiled softly and said, "Let's do it together tonight, and I happen to be fine too."
In fact, Xiao Luolan likes to make food by herself, it is one of her hobbies.
Before Dongxue could speak, Zheng Yuxin spoke loudly: "Okay, I can do anything, including chopping wood, carrying water, and washing dishes."
Let the lord know how jealous his mistress would be if she gave them food to eat. Zheng Yuxin shook her head and sighed, feeling very happy in her heart.
Dongxue was sullen. After dinner in the afternoon, he took advantage of his wife to get on the carriage to rest and found Zheng Yuxin.
Zheng Yuxin put the hibernating little pet into a small bamboo basket around her waist. There was also a water bag on the other side of her waist, which contained two love spiders. She was a little strange when she saw Dongxue coming over. She didn't do anything bad today. ah.
Dongxue frowned and said, "I'm going to make mutton and pepper sesame cakes for my wife to eat tonight." Seeing Zheng Yuxin's blank expression as if she didn't understand, she became even more depressed. She was indeed an idiot who didn't understand ordinary things.
"Forget it, forget it, the lady also said that she will eat white fungus and red dates sweet soup at night. Do you know that you will wash the white fungus and soak it in advance? Remember to soak it in cold water." Dongxue was too lazy to see that she didn't understand. After talking, I was going to get pepper from the carriage behind.
After taking just two steps, he heard shuffling footsteps behind him.
Dongxue turned around and looked at Zheng Yuxin, who had a look of longing for love.
Zheng Yuxin scratched her braid, and the silver jewelry on her head jingled. She scratched her cheek and whispered, "It's the pepper known as black gold."
Dongxue hummed.
Zheng Yuxin lowered her head and twirled the snow with her feet. Only now did she remember what pepper was. She knew about Sichuan peppercorns. There was a talk about peppercorns in the Book of Songs. It said about multiplying and reproducing. Sichuan peppercorns are valuable. There is no difference between peppercorns and Sichuan peppercorns. Different from Sichuan pepper, pepper came from an extremely distant sea and was specially given to the emperor as a tribute. The price is very high, even comparable to gold.
Luxury competition is a common thing in Chang'an, and for a while there was more pepper than any other house.
I also knew that Dongxue would probably make two portions, one without pepper and one with pepper. The one with pepper would be given to Madam. Of course Zheng Yuxin had no objection. Madam is so nice, why should she eat some pepper? But she Once the trouble comes, if Madam cooks with her, she will definitely find Dongxue’s two ways of cooking.
Zheng Yuxin said: "How about I tell my wife and let her wait for dinner tonight."
Dongxue frowned even more tightly: "Madam is the mistress and you are a guest, how can you make decisions for madam." She was very dissatisfied with Zheng Yuxin's careless attitude towards the mistress, although Dongxue knew that Zheng Yuxin did not mean this, and she did not No bad intentions, but rules are rules, and superiority and inferiority are inferiority and inferiority. How can you make decisions for your mistress? She is indeed a gangster who is used to fighting and killing.
When Zheng Yuxin heard Sister Dongxue's harsh words behind her, she puffed up her mouth, a little aggrieved, and blurted out: "White fungus is not cheap either."
Dongxue turned around, a little angry: "Do you still have any objections? And what does this have to do with Tremella?"
Zheng Yu's heart was shaking like a rattle, and he hurriedly explained: "Of course not, I mean that the lady won't mind, don't be angry, at worst I won't eat the pepper cake."
Dongxue felt that Zheng Yuxin was speaking carelessly and became suspicious: "What do you mean?"
Zheng Yuxin was someone who couldn't hide her worries. She glanced at Dongxue and muttered: "Didn't you come to Yuexin?" She waved her hand: "Oh, don't ask me how I know, I just know. La."
Dongxue clenched her fists.
"Hey, hey, I didn't mean to slap someone in the face. I really didn't mean it. You also know that I don't know the answer. I want to talk to my mistress about everything." Zheng Yuxin stretched out her hand and swore: "I just saw you using cold water this morning. I felt bad about washing my face, so I just mentioned it. I swear I didn’t say it specifically, it was just a casual comment while chatting.”
"Tremella and red dates sweet soup can nourish yin and replenish blood. It is especially suitable for women to drink during the first month. I think the mistress wants to drink white fungus and red dates sweet soup just for you, because we have been eating together in the past few days." Zheng Yuxin said more and more. I think this is the case, because the sweet soup of white fungus and red dates can calm the mind and calm the nerves even when drunk daily, but I don’t see my mistress drinking it every day.
Why does the mistress want to drink the moon letter when Dongxue comes? Zheng Yuxin feels that the mistress is so partial.
Dongxue was startled when she heard this, and her clenched fists slowly loosened.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Dongxue turned around and reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't speculate on the mistress's thoughts in the future."
After that, he left.
Zheng Yuxin blinked, she just saw Dong Xue's trembling lips.
It took Zheng Yuxin a while before she returned to the carriage. When her mistress saw her coming in, she smiled and said, "What's wrong? You're listless."
Zheng Yuxin sat on the carpet under the mistress's couch: "Mistress."
Xiao Luolan was embroidering, preparing to embroider a beautiful sachet for her daughter. When she heard that Miss Zheng only called her and didn't say anything, she hummed in confusion.
Zheng Yuxin laughed: "It's okay, I just wanted to call you."
Xiao Luolan looked at the little girl with a silly smile and thought of Qingxue. Her daughter often called her for no reason.
Xiao Luolan smiled and said, "You can scream if you want."
As long as Xiao Luolan thinks of her daughter waiting for her in Langge, she feels like she can do anything and is full of infinite strength and courage.
Every time she gets closer to Langge, her joy will increase.
In the evening, Xiao Luolan and Dongxue made mutton and pepper pancakes. They saw that the two little girls only ate one piece each, which was a bit strange, so they asked them to eat more.
