"Are you still bullying others?" Ye Ying glared at the northern barbarian and said coldly.
"We northern barbarians respect heroes like you. Since the hero has spoken, I will no longer play the iron flute." The northern barbarian who suffered the loss seemed to be a different person and said to Ye Ying with a smile on his face. .
Speaking of this northern barbarian, it was quite strange. After being beaten, he changed his attitude and became more enthusiastic towards Ye Ying and his group. He even invited everyone to his house for dinner and rest.
Ye Ying sympathized very much with the child named Tiedi. He wanted to get along better with the northern barbarian and persuade him to treat the child better, so he accepted the northern barbarian's invitation and came to this small courtyard on the roadside together. .
I didn’t feel it outside the door, but after entering, I realized that this family’s house is quite big, and the facilities in the house are relatively high-end. There are at least dozens of servants in the house. It seems that this northern barbarian still has a lot of people in the northern barbarians. of a certain status.
According to this northern barbarian named Dawaxi, the large piece of land behind the house belongs to his family, as does the woods on the hill behind. The main reason why he went to the market to buy so many servants was to let him help him plant the land and woods. These things were very valuable in the northern barbarians.
During the conversation, Dawaxi told Ye Ying that he was a member of the tribe of Heihan Wutu, the second prince of the Northern Barbarians. Heihan Wutu was currently recruiting talents and was preparing to compete with the eldest prince Heihan Xiongge. Dawaxi also suggested that Ye Ying vote for the second prince. In this case, it would be much smoother for him to do business in Beiman.
Only then did Ye Ying understand why Dawaxi quickly changed his attitude and became enthusiastic when he saw that he was good at it. It turned out that he wanted to help his master attract talents.
However, Ye Ying did not reject Dawaxi's suggestion, saying that he would wait until he came to Lingxing to see the situation before making a decision. Seeing that Ye Ying was a little moved, Dawaxi was very happy and even gave him a token so that he could directly Go see the second prince.
In order to express his gratitude, before leaving, Ye Ying gave Dawaxi a piece of silk and said that he was very close to the child named Tiedi and hoped that Dawaxi could give him more care. Dawaxi immediately took a bite Agreed, but it's not clear what exactly he will do.
The northern barbarians are very indifferent to the concept of cities. Even as a royal city, the construction of Lingxing is very ordinary. The city walls are made of huge stones, and most of the houses in the city are also stone and wood buildings. It's a bit messy and far less prosperous than the big cities in Daning.
After Ye Ying and his party entered Lingxing City, they first found an inn to settle down, and then sent out people to find out the information they needed to know.
The Northern Barbarian King's name was Heihan Naji. He was a very capable man. He was originally just the leader of a tribe. However, after thirty years of conquests in the east and west, he managed to regain the various forces of the Northern Barbarians and turn the independent Northern Barbarians into one. The barbarians built a unified country.
After becoming the king of the Northern Barbarians, Heihan Naji did not restrain himself. He gave full play to the brave and fierce personality of the Barbarians and continued to harass the surrounding countries. Daning, the closest to the Northern Barbarians, became the biggest victim.
However, in recent years, due to Heihannaji's old age, he has reduced the number of expeditions and spent most of his time in the royal city.
Heihan Naji did not leave the royal city. In addition to his age, another reason was that the royal city had not been peaceful in recent years. The main reason for this unrest was that several of his sons had feelings for Heihan Naji. The throne is ready to move.
Heihan Naji has four sons, the eldest son Heihan Xiongge, the second son Heihan Wutu, the third son Heihan Mugu and the fourth son Heihan Duowu.
Among the four princes, the eldest prince Heihan Xiongge and the second prince Heihan Wutu are the strongest, so they are tit for tat on many things. Although Heihan Mugu, the Prince of the Three Kings, and Heihan Duowu, the Prince of the Four Kings, are weaker than their eldest brother and second brother, they have gathered a lot of people around them to protect themselves.
The strange thing is that the Northern Barbarian King Heihan Naji did not object to his sons' actions to fight for the throne. As long as the parties did not do anything excessive, he chose to turn a blind eye. Some people even say that there is news that Hehannaji once said that whoever can win this battle will be the most suitable heir to the throne.
Heihannaji's tacit attitude made the battles between princes in full swing, and each prince was trying his best to recruit various talents. The eldest prince and the second prince each formed a faction, and both sides were equally powerful. The third prince and the fourth prince knew that they were weaker, so they simply joined forces, thus forming a tripartite situation in the royal city.
After hearing this news, Ye Ying couldn't help but sigh that the attraction of power was indeed too great. In the face of power, family affection became insignificant.
After getting this information, Ye Ying quickly made a decision not to follow Dawasi's suggestion to meet the second prince. As an outsider, he could not participate in the fight between these princes. He might not be confused when the time comes. Lost his life.
Information about Ye Ying's birthplace and mother Zhu Lian's grave soon came to light, because this place was not a secret among the Northern Barbarians.
After the two emperors of Daning and their relatives and nobles were brought to the Northern Barbarians, they were all concentrated in Tuwa Fort in the west of the city. Although more than 20 years have passed, these Daning royal family and their descendants still live there. at this place.
In fact, it is not accurate to say residence, strictly speaking. These Danian royal family and their descendants were imprisoned in the Tuwea Fort. Although they could walk freely in the fort, plant crops and intermarry, they did not have the freedom to leave the Tuwea Fort.
Even the relatives of Emperor Daning who died in these years, and even the two emperors and their concubines, were not able to leave Tuwa Fort. Instead, they were buried in a special cemetery behind Tuwa Fort.
With the passing of the two emperors, the defense of Tuwa Fort is not as strict as before, but it is still not easy to enter this place. Also, even if you go in. It is also very troublesome to figure it out.
After hearing this news, Ye Ying fell into silence. It seemed that it was very dangerous to go to the place where he was born or to pay homage to his mother. Judging from the current situation, it was a very dangerous thing. However, Ye Ying quickly decided that since he was here, he had to go for it even if there was danger.
Tuwa Fort is not difficult to find. Ye Ying quickly came outside the fort and saw that it was like a small city, surrounded by tall walls. After walking around these walls for a long time, Ye Ying could not find any place to enter.
Not only that, Ye Ying, who has a particularly keen sense of perception, discovered that in addition to the northern barbarian soldiers guarding the Tuwa Fort, there were actually hidden sentries everywhere. It seemed that it was not easy to enter this place. Easy things.
"Boss, the guards here are too tight. There is no need for us to take this risk." Shan Fu knows Ye Ying best. Seeing that he has been walking around the Tuwa Fort for a long time, of course he understands what he is thinking, so he stands aside advised.
Although he is a brother to Shan Fu, Zhao Hu and others, Ye Ying's identity as a member of the Daning royal family has never revealed his life experience to them. Although Shan Fu and Zhao Hu knew from Ye Ying's three mysterious masters that Ye Ying's identity was unusual, they never asked. The two of them only recognized this sixteenth brother who was both a teacher and a friend. It didn't really matter what Ye Ying's specific identity was.
"This matter is very important to me. I must go in and take a look." Ye Ying did not explain anything to Shan Fu, but said firmly.
After listening to Ye Ying's words, Shan Fu didn't say anything else. Over the years, he had formed a habit of doing his best to complete whatever Ye Ying decided.
In response to Ye Ying's words, Shan Fu, Qi Jiao and others took the Northern Barbarians around outside the Tuwa Fort for three consecutive days, recording in detail the daily entry and time patterns of the people here.
"Boss, apart from the Northern Barbarian soldiers who need to change their defenses, the only people who come in and out of Tuwa Fort every day are the following officials with the sound of "food and grass". They can only go in and out once a day, and there are also dung trucks. They go in at the fourth watch every night, about It comes out when it weighs five pounds; there are also doctors and the like, but the time of entry and exit is uncertain..."
Hearing Shan Fu explain these situations in detail, Ye Ying couldn't help but nodded. It seemed that this good brother had indeed spent a lot of effort on this matter.
"It's obviously impossible to sneak in with the Northern Barbarian soldiers, but it's almost impossible to sneak in with these nearby office workers, because most of these people are acquaintances with the Northern Barbarian soldiers who opened the door. ." Qi Jiao said from the side, this guy rarely used his brain to think about something.
After listening to Qi Jiao and Shan Fu's words, Ye Ying fell into silence. What these two people said was indeed true. Under the current situation, it is really difficult to enter this Tuwa Fort.
But think about it, this is normal. The people imprisoned in this Tuwa Fort must be the children of the Daning royal family. If the precautions were not strict, the people inside would have escaped long ago.
Zhang Xinpeng sat in the room, quietly looking at a paper bag placed on the table in front of him. This state had lasted for more than an hour. On the surface, he looked motionless, but there was a fierce battle going on in his mind.
As a descendant of Zhang Zhongjing, the medical sage of the previous dynasty, Zhang Xinpeng, who has been practicing medicine for generations, has struggled in the northern barbarians for more than ten years and finally established a firm foothold. The princes and nobles here often come to see him for medical treatment, and he was originally doing well. .
But in the afternoon, the arrival of two uninvited guests caused such a big trouble for Zhang Xinpeng, leaving him in a difficult choice.
Zhang Xinpeng's nearly fifty-year-old life experience has allowed him to develop a good eye. The two people who came to see him today looked fierce, but he was able to tell that these two people were not the kind of extremely vicious people.
Although these two people kept saying that they wanted to threaten their children and grandchildren, Zhang Xinpeng was not afraid at all. He was sure that even if he did not agree to their conditions, these two people would not really embarrass those young people and children.
But what really troubled Zhang Xinpeng was the identity of these two people. Although they looked like bandits, it was obvious that they were both good people. People who can rack their brains to enter Tuwa Fort must have a lot to do with the Ming Dynasty royal family.
Zhang Xinpeng is also from Daning. Although he has lived in Beiman for more than ten years, deep down he still hopes that the people of Daning will live a better life. He wants to help these two people, but looking at the big family behind him, He hesitated for a long time and couldn't make up his mind?
"I, Zhang Xinpeng, have been submissive all my life. Leader, I also want to do a big and vigorous thing. Even if I die and see my ancestors, I can hold my chest high." A kind of pride suddenly surged in Zhang Xinpeng's heart, and he couldn't help but stand. got up.
