3. The general took the initiative to be robbed (3)
Yan Jingze, who was evaluated by Su Moxiu as "only seen in his life", now wraps his face with a cloth towel.
The weather is so cold and the wind is so strong, if he doesn't protect his face well, he will be blown into a rough man in minutes.
The original owner doesn't care about the image, he cares.
His A Xiu looked ten years younger than him. If he was too old, what would he do if he was rejected in the future?
Well, it's good to be disliked, so there is a reason to "punish" Su Moxiu!
As for how to punish, don't you all talk about fighting at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed? If Su Moxiu dares to despise him... he will definitely have to fight with Su Moxiu for several days in bed before he can make peace.
While thinking about how to "fight" in the future, Yan Jing reached out and touched Xiao Hua's head: "Xiao Hua'er, you are bald at a young age, you will definitely not find a match, I am different..."
The soldier walking in front of Yan Jingze frequently looked back at Yan Jingze, his face was speechless, and his speed slowed down unconsciously.
Then……
Xiaohua suddenly ran forward in a sprint and bit on the butt of the horse this man was riding.
The horse neighed and fled in a panic.
Yanjing looked at the horse, and then at Xiaohua, who was proudly called "咴er咴'er" - is this really a horse he bought? Not a dog?
Also, it's all like this, and the person in front doesn't say a word...
These soldiers do not speak, I am afraid it is not just because of strict military discipline, they should be...
Can't speak Rong language.
Look, after the man in front finished comforting his horse, he looked at him with fire, but because he was pretending to be a Rong, he couldn't speak Rong language... It's too miserable!
Don't hold back, brother! Who told you not to speak!
Xiaohua provoked other people's horses all the way until they came to a camp.
Turns out... it's really a cottage!
However, this cottage is very old and not very popular. The houses and utensils inside are also damaged to varying degrees. At first glance, it has been uninhabited for a long time, and it has just been cleaned up recently.
In Qiongshan, there are many such abandoned cottages.
The topography of the Qiongshan Mountains is extremely complex, but it is not impassable. In some places, the terrain is gentle enough for horses and carts to pass.
Because the Rong people frequently violated borders, from the previous dynasty, the imperial court forbade the common people to trade with the Rong people, especially salt and iron could not be sold to the Rong people.
However, there are policies above and countermeasures below. Some merchants are reluctant to give up the huge profits brought by trade with the Rong people, so they organize caravans to secretly cross the Qiongshan to trade with the Rong people.
After a long time, there have been many business roads and many bandits in Qiongshan.
Interestingly, these bandits were raised by businessmen.
Some big businessmen who have made a lot of money through trading with the Rong people will pay to recruit people to be "bandits" for their own safety and to monopolize the trade route.
These bandits protect the caravan formed by the big merchants who raised them, and help the big merchants to rob and kill some small merchants who want to get a share of the trade.
When local officials try to stop this illegal trade, the bandits will make trouble for the local officials or even kill them directly, forcing the local officials to stand on their side.
Bandits ran rampant, and the area around Qiongshan became more and more chaotic.
Over time, the people here must not only guard against robbery by the Rong people, but also guard against robbers from bandits—although these bandits are raised by big businessmen, they are not satisfied, and it is even more difficult for bandits who have seen blood. Restrained, they are happy to go out and loot in their spare time.
Qiongshan once became a den of bandits, and the people who lived nearby were miserable. Until the founding of Daqi, and the Zhenbei Army was stationed near Qiongshan, there were many fewer bandits.
But later, someone in the Zhenbei Army colluded with the bandits, and Qiongshan was flooded with bandits again.
Until Zhou Jingshan came to power.
Zhou Jingshan, who was born into a wealthy family, could not be bought by the bandits.
For a person like him who lacked everything since he was a child, money is not so important, and self-realization is the pursuit of life.
In short, it was Zhou Jingshan who fought with the bandits, the Rong people, and the moths in the Zhenbei Army for more than ten years. Relying on his backstage and strength, he just won the fight, and Qiongshan has no bandits since then.
Zhou Jingshan was a very good person, but he was betrayed and died in a foreign country, which is really embarrassing.
In particular, it was Zhou Zhenrong, who he raised as a son, who betrayed him.
Zhou Jingshan came to the border at the age of fifteen. In order to cultivate his cronies, he adopted many orphans one after another.
Seventeen years have passed, and Zhou Jingshan is already in his thirties. Many of the children he adopted in the early days have also started families and businesses on their own.
Some of them hold important positions in the Zhenbei Army, and some are engaged in other industries, and among them, Zhou Zhenrong is most trusted by Zhou Jingshan.
Zhou Zhenrong was one of Zhou Jingshan's first adopted children, and even his name came from Zhou Jingshan.
He was intelligent since he was a child, and Zhou Jingshan had high hopes for him. He not only taught him personally, but also handed over his most elite personal guards to him.
But it was Zhou Zhenrong, who colluded with the Rong people to deceive Zhou Jingshan to Qiongshan, and wanted to kill Zhou Jingshan.
Fortunately, the other guards around Zhou Jingshan tried their best to protect Zhou Jingshan, so Zhou Jingshan could escape, but the way back to Zhenbei Army was blocked by Zhou Zhenrong, so Zhou Jingshan could only flee to the Rong family.
When he died, Zhou Jingshan did not understand why Zhou Zhenrong wanted to kill him.
When he gave his body to Yan Jingze, his only request was for Yan Jingze to kill Zhou Zhenrong.
For Zhou Jingshan, no matter why Zhou Zhenrong betrayed, he can't be forgiven.
Yan Jing also felt that Zhou Zhenrong could not be forgiven, but he knew very well that Zhou Zhenrong was not the only one who killed Zhou Jingshan.
Zhou Jingshan had offended too many people and harmed the interests of too many people in the past ten years or so before this disaster.
Those people are now, I am afraid that they are waiting for him to throw themselves into the net, so as to kill him.
Especially now that he has shaved his beard... even if the soldiers in the Zhenbei Army have seen him, they have only seen him from a distance. If the generals above told these soldiers that he was fake, these soldiers would definitely obey him.
There was an open space at the entrance of the cottage, and when Yan Jing rode Xiao Hua over, Su Moxiu had dismounted and stood on the ground watching him.
After all, it was winter, and Su Moxiu was a little bloated, but it made his face smaller.
There are red blood streaks blown out by the wind on both sides of the slightly black handsome face, and the black and white eyes are staring straight at him...
Yan Jing took off the face towel and raised the corner of his mouth towards Su Moxiu.
The white mist that Su Moxiu exhaled when he breathed instantly became thicker.
Yan Jing saw this and got off the horse with a smile.
Zhang Erque, who had settled Ma and headed towards Yan Jingze, stopped abruptly—this entangled little white face was punched higher than him!
He was always the tallest in the crowd, but this man was even taller than him!
But take a closer look at this person's body and appearance... This person is indeed handsome among men, not worse than him.
Zhang Erque looked at Yan Jingze critically, wanted to say something, then closed his mouth to look at Cai An - Cai An told him to ignore the affairs of the person in front of him.
After all, he is a pig brain.
He really wanted to eat pig brains...
Cai An had also dismounted. When he was riding, he subconsciously shrank his neck because of the strong wind, but now he straightened his neck in order to make himself more dignified.
A long head rests on his long neck, making his face look longer.
Yan Jing felt that the person in front of him... was a little familiar.
Cai An squinted at Yan Jingze, and felt that the person in front of him was a little familiar.
There are many mysteries about this young man who entered Qiongshan alone.
If nothing else, a young man who was captured by the Rong and suffered a lot, how could he have to follow them when they decided to let him go?
"What's your name?" Cai An asked in Rong language.
Yan Jing said in Chinese: "You are not from the Rong, so there is no need to keep speaking to me in the Rong language." He didn't want to make it difficult for these people.
"Who are you?" Cai An's expression changed, Zhang Erque and others also clenched their weapons and surrounded Yan Jingze.
Yan Jing raised his hand quickly: "I have no ill will towards you. What I said before is true, I am a Han Chinese, I was captured by the Rong people before, and I escaped after a lot of hardships... It's just that you let me go. I have to follow you when I leave, because I know that you are not Rong people, but Han people."
"How did you know?" Cai An asked sharply in Chinese, no longer pretending.
"I have lived in the tribe of the Rong people for a long time, and the Rong people are not like you. If you really are the Rong people bandits, when you surrounded me, you should have laughed at me and directly pulled me off the horse or even chopped me down. Look at me with hatred... But I wasn't sure at that time, and then I cried in Chinese, and you decided to let me go, and I was sure that you were Han." Yan Jing said.
Yan Jing spoke very sincerely, which made people want to believe that Zhang Erque went to see Cai An: "Lao Cai, is what he said true?"
Cai An did not relax, and asked Yanjing: "What evidence do you have to prove that you are a Han Chinese? You don't look like you have suffered from the Rong people!"
Yan Jing stretched out his hand: "You can see how much suffering I have suffered by looking at my hand, and..."
Yan Jing untied his belt and took off his sheepskin robe, and tore off his collar, revealing his shoulders and half of his chest.
small book booth
There were not only knife wounds on his shoulders, but also arrow wounds and whip wounds, old and new, all stacked on top of each other. In addition, his hands were completely different from his face, covered with calluses and many small wounds.
Although Cai An is a literati, he has also been injured on the battlefield. When he helped the military doctor, he also saw the bodies of many soldiers.
The wounds on those soldiers were not as many as those on Yan Jingze.
This man... as he said, he has suffered a lot.
Yan Jingze added: "My name is Yan Jingze, and I live in Shangmo Village, thirty miles west of Qiongnan City. I read books when I was young, and I can speak not only Qiongnan dialect, but also Mandarin. Are you supposed to be a scholar too? We Let's chat in Mandarin."
Yan Jing said the latter words in Mandarin.
There are many Rong people who can speak Qiongnan dialect, but very few Rong people who can speak Mandarin. There are very few people who can say these two things, and their status is definitely not low.
It is impossible for such a Rong person to go to Daqi alone with all his injuries.
What's more... There is indeed a place like Shangmo Village, and the facial features of the person in front of him are also different from those of the Rong people.
He should be from Daqi as he said.
Cai An originally felt that this person had a good face, and subconsciously believed this person. At this moment, the misunderstanding was resolved, so he felt a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I misunderstood you."
"It's okay! This is the territory of the Rong people, you should be careful." Yan Jing said.
Cai An determined Yan Jingze's identity and wanted to have a good chat with Yan Jingze, but before he could speak, Su Moxiu stepped forward and blocked Yan Jingze so that he could not see Yan Jingze.
Su Moxiu was also tall, about the same as Zhang Erque, only a little shorter than Yanjing.
He looked at Yan Jingze distressedly, and said to Yan Jingze, "It's cold, pull up your clothes."
"Okay." Yan Jing slowly sorted out his clothes, which made Su Moxiu see more.
Su Moxiu's already blushing face turned even redder, but his complexion was darker, so he couldn't tell.
"You are from Daqi, we will definitely take you back, but we still have something to do, we won't be able to leave in a few days." Su Mo Xiu said.
"I listen to you." Yan Jing smiled slightly.
Su Moxiu took a deep look at Yan Jingze, then looked at his subordinates: "Get ready, cook right away!"
"Let's eat now? It's a little early..." Zhang Erque said, although he was very hungry, they only had so much food left... Didn't they eat before it was dark?
Su Moxiu said: "Eat it early, and then I'll go around and see if I can catch the prey!"
"Second Young Master, I'll go with you!" Zhang Erque said immediately, his face full of excitement.
Su Moxiu nodded in agreement.
The crowd got busy right away.
This cottage is not big, but it has a very solid stone house.
After deciding to cook, both people and horses entered the house, and then some people went to mix hay for the horses, and some people made fire to cook.
Because the shell was not completely removed, some yellow rice was poured into the pot, a thin layer was spread on the bottom of the pot, and two buckets of snow and bark grass roots were added...
Yanjing looked at the pot of "rice", and then looked at the fodder for the horses.
There are a lot of beans in the fodder for the horses, and the horses eat it better than the people.
They...seem to be poor?
Yan Jing sympathized with them.
When he saw that the horse feeder had just put the fodder into the manger, Xiaohua rushed over to devour it... He felt even more sympathetic to them.
Xiaohua occupies the manger, and if other horses want to eat the food in the manger, it will bite others, very domineering!
The young soldiers who didn't speak no matter how Xiaohua made trouble finally couldn't bear it anymore: "What's the matter with your horse? Why are you so fierce!"
"Obviously so thin, but he has a lot of energy!"
"I've never seen a horse like this!"
After being able to speak Chinese, these people speak more.
Having said that, they went to protect their horses, lest their horses be bullied by Xiaohua.
Zhenbei Army lacks horses, and horses are very precious to Zhenbei Army soldiers.
"I'm sorry, it's been hungry for too long..." Yan Jing was a little embarrassed.
"Forget it... it looks miserable." A soldier of the Zhenbei Army said helplessly.
Yan Jing said again: "I've been hungry for a long time too..."
These Zhenbei Army looked at the little flowers who were grabbing food, and then looked at the particularly tall Yan Jingze...
They are already very poor, and this person in front of them... I'm afraid it will make their already poor worse.
