At the second watch, all the bandits in the village had rested. Nie Chen got up and sneaked towards Weng Qiuchan's bedroom under the cover of night.
The oil lamp was still on in the beauty's bedroom, so she must have been awake, presumably waiting for her husband.
Nie Chen chuckled, quietly opened the door, ducked in, and quickly closed the door.
"Hmph, sneaking around all day is like being a thief. It's not a shame."
From behind, Weng Qiuchan's strange voice came.
"Hey, it's better to be embarrassed than to lose your life. If your father finds out, he won't kill me."
Nie Chen smiled and sat next to Weng Qiuchan, took his little hand and put it in his own.
"Tch, look at how coward you are, where is your bravery in commanding and killing the enemy in the face of danger today? Why did my father scare you like this?"
"How can it be the same? How can my father-in-law be compared with the enemy? It's not the same thing."
"I want to go to the grassland tomorrow with you."
Weng Qiuchan picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"What are you going to do? That place is so dangerous. The barbarians are ruthless people who kill without blinking an eye. Their tribes fight every day. Those people have been fighting with knives since they were born. What should you do if you are in danger? "
"I'm in danger if I go, but you won't be in danger? If something happens and you are killed, what's the point of living for me..."
At this point, Weng Qiuchan suddenly stopped talking.
Nie Chen had a playful smile on his lips and looked at Weng Qiuchan with pride.
Weng Qiuchan blushed, damn, this guy was so proud again.
"Stop talking, you have to agree even if you agree, and you have to agree if you don't agree. I have to go along."
"Okay, okay, the world is big, and my wife is the biggest. I will protect you."
Nie Chen stood up and pulled Weng Qiuchan towards the bed.
Weng Qiuchan's pretty face turned even redder, but she didn't resist at all. She just let him pull her away meekly.
Soon, the two of them lay in bed.
"Madam, am I good at your husband today?"
"It's amazing. If you hadn't invented weapons deployment tactics, we wouldn't have won so easily."
"Of course, these people are here to steal my wife. If I'm not good enough, what should I do if my wife is snatched away?"
Nie Chen said with a bad smile,
"Well, since you performed so well today, shouldn't you give your brave and invincible husband a reward?"
"Just letting you sleep with me is already the best reward. What more reward do you want?"
Nie Chen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and gently touched Weng Qiuchan's mouth.
Weng Qiuchan was startled at first, then suddenly realized, his face turned red, and he punched Nie Chen hard.
After hesitating for a moment, she leaned down and stuck her head into the bed...
…
Early the next morning, Nie Chen packed his luggage, asked everyone to set up several carriages, and put all the large wine jars on the carriages.
The carriage at the front had a sedan, and inside it sat Master Nie Er.
That's right, this carriage was prepared by Nie Chen for himself.
He really couldn't ride a horse without a saddle, and it would be more comfortable to ride in a carriage.
Weng Qiuchan originally wanted to ride a horse, but after Nie Chen's faint persuasion, she got into the carriage.
Nie Chen said this,
"As for your riding skills, if you were better, you wouldn't have knocked me off my horse."
Weng Qiuchan also remembered that when he took Nie Chen up the mountain for the first time, he fell off the horse because of a bump and was hit in the chest by Nie Chen.
When she thought that this guy had started to treat her lightly since then, Weng Qiuchan's heart pounded and her whole body felt hot.
After getting into the carriage, a group of dozens of people drove the carriage down the mountain.
There is still a faint smell of blood on the mountain road, and there are dried blood stains on the stones.
The mountain road was not easy to walk, and the road was very bumpy. Da Zhuang was also sitting in the carriage, explaining the situation of the barbarians to Nie Chen.
"The barbarians are mainly composed of the five major tribes that guard the royal court. The Queding clan is the closest to us. There are hundreds of tribes in its range. It is considered a medium force among the five major tribes. It is very rich. The Queding clan is also ours. target.
The leader of the Queding clan is named Queding Tangwu. He is about fifty years old this year. He is neither too capable nor too fatuous. He is not a womanizer, but he is addicted to alcohol.
This time we went directly to Queding's old nest, Quedingluo, to make a deal. As long as Quedingtangwu could taste our wine, we were basically safe. "
Nie Chen smiled and said,
"What's the situation with the barbarians? I'm talking about the political forces."
"In terms of politics, it is similar to our Dafeng Kingdom. The Feng Kingdom has four kings standing side by side. Our Weihu County is the territory of King Andong, but a little further west is the territory of King Pingxi.
The four kings of Feng Kingdom control most of the territory, each with heavy troops, and they are constantly attacking each other. The court can only control the Gyeonggi area, and no one listens to them outside. Even the governor of Weihu County, and The following county magistrates were all appointed by King Andong.
On the barbarian side, the five major tribes control most of the resources, but the difference is that their royal court still has a high influence. As long as the royal court's orders are not too excessive, other tribes still have to obey them. , after all, the royal court is of the bloodline of the Golden Family, and the people on the grassland all believe in the Barbarian King. "
"That's it, I understand. Oh Da Zhuang, why do you know so much about the barbarians?"
Da Zhuang smiled slightly and said,
"I used to follow the general, and I fought many battles with the barbarians, so I know more about those things. If you ask the master, he can tell you the leaders, territory, population and force distribution of these barbarian forces, and even what generals there are. , I can tell you clearly what kind of character and fighting style the general has."
"Oh, it seems that you were either following King Pingxi or King Anton in the past. You are definitely not King Jingshan and King Zhennan in the south. After all, only in the north can you have the chance to fight the barbarians.
Which king did you follow before? Why don't you hang out with him? How cool it would be to follow Wang. "
Da Zhuang smiled bitterly and said,
"Don't ask me. If you want to know, just ask the boss. Also, in fact, the four kings are not as cool as you think. After all, our Feng Kingdom borders other countries.
King Pingxi in the northwest and King Andong in the northeast must guard against the grassland barbarians, King Jingshan in the southwest must guard against the Sichuan Kingdom, and King Zhennan in the southeast must guard against the Qi Kingdom. It is not as simple as just focusing on internal strife every day. "
Nie Chen leaned against the wall of the carriage and said with a smile,
“There are so many princes, so many kings, so many countries and ethnic groups, and the various forces, large and small, are divided and fighting endlessly for years. The people are miserable and cannot survive.
The general trend of the world is that if it divides for a long time, it will unite, and if it unites for a long time, it will divide. If the world is in such chaos, there will definitely be an unparalleled enlightened lord who will stand up and sweep across the world, clear up the world, unify the world, and give the people a stable and peaceful life. "
