History of Yongwu

In the first month of the fourth year of Yonghe, the days seemed to be the same, with heavy snow and cold wind, and Xuancheng would always be like this.

Beihu was probably tired and calmed down for a while.When Qin Yu was free, he took a jar of good wine and wandered to Mount Qi, wanting to see if Bai Yunfei was there.Just when he reached the middle of the mountain, he saw Bai Yunfei in front, walking towards the top of the mountain step by step, Qin Yu smiled, tapped his toes, and jumped up to Bai Yunfei's side.

"Brother, what a coincidence, you are going up the mountain too!" Qin Yu once again showed his true nature of being silly when he saw Young Master Bai.

Bai Yunfei gave him a sideways look, but ignored him, "Hey, did you go up the mountain to find the young hero Bai Yunfei? He is very cold, I think you should not go, how about going back with me for a drink?"

Bai Yunfei still ignored him, Yun Gong quickened his pace, and left Qin Yu behind in an instant.

"Hey, hey, I brought you a jar of good wine, don't be so stingy." Seeing that the man was in a hurry, Qin Yu quickly chased after him.

"Oh, so you didn't hurt your brain, you recognized me!" Bai Yunfei pierced his heart and lungs with his mouth.

Qin Yu was so choked by him that he couldn't speak, Bai Yunfei's unique skill was to keep silent, and he choked as soon as he opened his mouth, so his inner breath was unstable, so he laughed dryly twice to put the matter aside.

When he arrived at the stone house on the top of the mountain, Qin Yu immediately poured Bai Yunfei a bowl of wine, "Come and taste it"

Bai Yunfei didn't make a sound, he just put the things down on his own, lit the fire pot and threw a piece of snow venison into it, then took a small stove and put it on the table, warmed the wine, and then sat down at the table.

"Cold wine hurts the body," Bai Yunfei said coldly.

"Oh"

Qin Yu sat at the table, waiting idly for the wine to warm up, while Bai Yunfei squatted by the pot to cook the meat.Half a quarter of an hour later, when the wine was warmed up, Qin Yu lifted the jug and poured a glass, drank it all down, then looked at Bai Shaoxia happily, and Bai Yunfei gave him a disgusted look.

After drinking for three rounds, Qin Yu looked at Bai Yunfei and suddenly said, "Young Xia, it's been so long and I still don't know where your teacher came from?"

Bai Yunfei pondered for a while and didn't make a sound. Qin Yu thought it was inconvenient for him to say it, so he said again, "If it's inconvenient, forget it, it's fine as it is."

Bai Yunfei looked at him and replied, "It's nothing, I'm a closed disciple of Daxueshan."

"Oh! Daxue Mountain is in the northwest, why are you in Qishan?" Qin Yu asked

Bai Yunfei took the venison out of the pot, put it on the table and said, "I have reached a bottleneck in my practice, and Master wants me to go down the mountain and travel around the world to increase my knowledge and improve my martial arts at the same time."

"Going down the mountain to travel, just by yourself, why don't you go with your senior brothers?" Don't even bother to talk to your senior brothers?

"The younger brothers are not good at learning, and they have their own business, the senior is in retreat!" Bai Yunfei's disappointed expression flashed across, like a child who lost a toy.

Qin Yu looked at his expression, raised his eyebrows, this brother, there is a problem!

"You have a good relationship with your senior brother?" Qin Yu asked tentatively.

"Well, we are very close." Bai Yunfei looked at Huo Miao with warmth in his eyes.

Looking at his appearance, His Royal Highness King Jin changed his mind like a vixen, and in a few words, he revealed a lot about Bai Daxia and his senior brother.This brother really has a problem!He recalled the interesting childhood stories that Bai Yunfei told, and sighed secretly.

"You like your senior brother so much, why don't you confess to him, maybe once you confess, you will break through the bottleneck." Qin Yu teased with a smile.

"How do you know that I like senior brother?" Bai Yunfei blurted out, and after he finished speaking, he realized in an instant, and quickly turned his head to stare at Qin Yu angrily.

Qin Yu stood opposite with a smirk on his face, Bai Yunfei realized that he had been fooled, picked up the sword and swung it at Qin Yu, the sword energy suddenly aroused across Qin Yu's body, and immediately cut a hole in his robe .

"Bai Shaoxia, do you know that my king's clothes are very expensive?" Qin Yu complained while dodging Bai Yunfei's next move.

Another sword qi struck, Qin Yu walked out of the door by mistake, and continued to tease, "Don't be so stingy! Brother Bai! What's so shy about liking someone? If you tell me, I can give you a few pointers. Guaranteed By the time"

Before he finished speaking, the next moment Bai Yunfei rushed out of the house, and his sword energy went straight to Qin Yu. The sword was so fierce that Qin Yu couldn't dodge it and immediately shut up and drew his sword to block it, and then jumped to the side.

It's over, Young Master Bai is going crazy, he'd better slip away!To make an apology another day, Qin Yu jumped to the intersection next to him, and ran down the mountain with Qi Yungong.

"Bai Shaoxia is not in a good mood today, Qin will not bother me, I will come to talk to you another day to talk about your senior brother" Qin Yu's mean voice echoed in the snowy night sky.

Bai Yunfei ran to the intersection and saw that Qin Yu was out of reach, kicked a stone away, and shouted angrily, "Qin Yu, don't let me see you again"

The back of Qin Yu's neck felt cold on the mountainside. It seems that he won't be able to come for a while. Will Young Master Bai go to Xuancheng to hunt down the king?

Qin Yu rode on the horse and looked back at the majestic Mount Qi. See you, brother Bai!

After saying goodbye to Bai Yunfei, Xuancheng has been very peaceful for the past two months, and Beihu didn't even make small-scale disturbances. This abnormality made Qin Yu feel strange. Could it be that Beihu is planning some big movement.

He sat in front of the case and pondered for a long time, and suddenly told the guard at the door, "Wang Meng? Go and call him to the king."

After a while Wang Meng came in from the outside and said, "What is your order?"

"You make arrangements right away, we're going out for a trip." Qin Yu stood up and looked at the map on the wall.

Wang Meng frowned when he heard Qin Yu's words, and asked in puzzlement, "My lord, are we going there?"

"Beihu, go and arrange the military affairs in your hands." Qin Yu looked at the map without turning his head. He was looking for a suitable place where there was not too much danger and enough information could be obtained.

"Oh" Wang Meng wanted to object at first, but then he thought that the prince has become much more normal this year. Although he may be a little messy occasionally, he has returned to his previous calmness and prudence in major matters, so there should be no problem.

The sun had just risen in the morning, and the distant sky was still a little blue. Qin Yu was wrapped in a somewhat worn-out sheepskin padded jacket. The wind blew the sand and hit his face with pain. He pulled his felt hat down to lower the brim.

"My lord, this is already a barren land. Since last summer, the rain in the barren area has reduced the grassland and dried up. The tribes have merged with each other to compete for the grassland, and some will march to the north to plunder food. Although this spring is better, many grasslands It was overwhelmed by yellow sand long before spring." Wang Meng stepped forward and handed him the water bottle, and continued to say, "This used to be a grassland, and it didn't exist this year, so there is such a big wind and sand."

Qin Yu looked at the yellow sand that was swept into the air ahead and asked, "How far is it to get to Mutuo City?"

Wang Meng pointed to the north and replied, "There will be more than half a day."

Returning the kettle to Wang Meng, Qin Yu pulled his cloak and clamped his horse's belly and drove northward. Wang Meng also hurriedly called other people to follow and go to Mutuo City.

Mutuo City, in the northeast of Xuancheng, is the largest trading town at the southern end of Beihu. It was already evening when they arrived.Qin Yu looked at the so-called city in front of him. It didn't look like the largest trading town at all. The city wall was low and a galloping horse could jump over it.

He rode on his horse and looked into the city. There were only a few low earthen houses in the city, most people lived in tents scatteredly, and there was no decent road.It was the first time for him to come to Beihu, and he didn't expect Beihu to be in such a situation.

They found a place that seemed to be the gate, entered the city, and rented a tent to live there.Worried about his safety, Wang Meng suggested that Qin Yu stay in an inn in the city.Qin Yu told him that the boarders were all Han Chinese, and it was better not to reveal their Han Chinese identities on their trip.

The guards selected this time can speak nonsense, and they pretended to be merchants from the Hu land to buy horses and sell them to Dayong, but they did not arouse others' suspicion.

The next morning, Qin Yu was awakened by the noise of people and horses outside. He put on his cloak and went outside the tent, and saw everyone walking eastward.

He couldn't speak nonsense, so he turned around and called Wang Meng and the others, and followed the crowd to the east. It was only after the guards came to report that it was the start of Yishi.In the trading market, there are people everywhere, some trade grain for cattle and sheep, some come to buy horses, and a few trade gold and jade.

Qin Yu was pushed by the crowd and walked to the depths. Wang Meng was afraid that something would happen to him, so he asked the guards to follow Qin Yu by his side.The commercial city is very large and stretches from the inside of the city to the outside of the city, and there are no fixed roads, so it is very difficult for people and horses to travel in a crowded place. He only looked at half of it all morning, and was thinking about finding a place to sit down and rest, when suddenly there was a noise next to him .

Qin Yu stopped, and Wang Meng and the guards subconsciously gathered beside him when they heard the noise, to prevent anyone from harming him.

"I saw it first"

"What do you see first, I will add a sheep to mine"

"I add two ends"

A bald man was competing with a Hudi businessman for a slave, like a princess of some small tribe, Qin Yu felt bored and just wanted to leave.

Suddenly, the bald man in the gray leather jacket, because he couldn't fight, drew out his saber, and cut off the woman's arm with the knife in his hand. The woman screamed, hugged half of her wrist and fell to the ground, bleeding It seemed that he couldn't survive.

ah!Qin Yu let out a low cry. He knew that the Hu people were tough, but he saw it on the battlefield. He didn't expect that the Hu people's customs would be like this in normal times.

The businessman from before was stunned for a moment, probably feeling unlucky, he shook his hand and left. The people around were either surprised or scared, but no one looked at the woman on the ground, and they all had familiar expressions.

Shaking his head and thinking about Qin Yu leaving here, he caught a glimpse of a pair of barbarian servants coming beside him. The leader was a young man who was about his own age, wearing a fine mink padded jacket covered with exquisite Han brocade, followed by a figure A burly man, in such a weather, he was wearing only a cloth robe, and he was the only one staring at the woman.

Qin Yu quietly stood not far behind the young man. The master and servant were looking at the front and didn't notice his approach. The woman who died just now had been carried down, and the bald man was pointing at another thin man. Young man, it looks like he wants to buy it.

The young man didn't know whether he saw the tragedy just now or what, he grabbed the pillar with both hands, and refused to go with the bald man desperately.The bald man gestured for two of his subordinates to come forward and drag him. Unexpectedly, the young man was determined not to leave, and instead of pulling the young man away, he was kicked away by the young man.

The young Zhuzi shouted loudly "I am the prince of Tagabe, I am not a slave, I will not go with you"

The bald man touched the top of his head and said, "Yeah, what a prince, all of Takabe was killed, and you were sold here as a slave." He was about to step forward in person.

When the businessman saw the bald man coming in person, he was afraid that another tragedy would happen, and then he would not have to do business.

"My lord, this kid is stubborn and hard to control, and his body is too weak to do much, so you can change it, why bother to be so angry, I'll give you something cheaper if you like it, how about it?" The businessman hurried forward, saying goodbye Words of advice.

The bald man was still reluctant and insisted on buying the prince of Tagabe.

"Batu, tell the boss ten gold cakes, and I'll take that man," the ermine youth whispered to the servants beside him.

The man named Batu stepped forward and pulled everyone away and said to the slave boss, "Oh, what kind of prince, my young master wants ten gold cakes."

Qin Yu was puzzled, Wang Meng saw that he lowered his voice and said, "My lord, Hudi is barren, and ten gold cakes are equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver." It turned out that this was the case, Qin Yu continued to look forward with his arms around his shoulders.

The businessman was stunned for a moment when he heard Batu's words, and then said with a smile on his face, "deal, deal"

Even beautiful beauties or strong laborers did not sell ten gold cakes. When the boss heard the price, he immediately forgot his fear of the bald man and agreed immediately.

The bald-headed man stood there, his face flushed, and now he would spend more than ten gold cakes to buy it, but such a large amount, not everyone can afford it, he stood there for a while, with a gloomy expression looked at the young man.

Batu walked up to the boy, grabbed his shoulders with both hands and lifted him up. The boy was about to struggle but was firmly restrained by Batu's hands. The boy was pressed behind the young man, and his wrist was firmly held Hold on, don't struggle a bit.

The young man ignored the others, turned around and was about to lead others away, when the bald man suddenly called to him, "Stop, I want to have a slave duel with you"

Qin Yu frowned, and the guard next to him immediately stepped forward and whispered into his ear, "All the tribes in the grassland are the first to drive the slaves forward. If there are conflicts between the nobles over time, the slaves will fight duels. This will not damage the dignity of the master. It can also solve the problem." Qin Yu nodded, feeling that this method was absurd.

The young man didn't respond, and the bald man continued to shout, "Why, don't you dare? You bastard!"

"Master, I'm going to teach that guy a lesson"

The young man still didn't make a sound, but turned to the young man and said, "If you win, I'll let you go." He took out his saber and handed it to him.

"Really?" The young man raised his head, his eyes filled with hope for a moment, and the young man nodded in agreement.

The crowd spread out, giving way to the middle. The boy walked to the middle of the open space, and a middle-aged man walked out from the bald side, holding a knife in his right hand, and there was a scar on his face at the corner of his right eye.As soon as Qin Yu saw the way he held the knife, he knew that this person must have been in battle for a long time, and the prince of Tagabe could not be his opponent.

"Master, they are bullying people, I will deal with him"

The young man grabbed Batu and said with a serious face, "The life of a slave is worthless. Every day on the grassland, slaves die in duels. Do you want to care? This is the law of the grassland, and it is his life. It depends on whether he survives or not." his own life"

Batu still wanted to split the matter, but seeing the young man's face was cold and silent, he also obediently remained silent.

There is no suspense in a duel, even though the young man tried his best, he could not change his fate.

The sun had already set to the west, Qin Yu watched the young man stand up staggeringly, shouted as if to cheer himself up, and rushed towards the man as if he were dead.With a clang, the sound of weapons beeping stopped abruptly, and blood spilled into the sky. The young man was lying on his back with a knife in his chest, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and he looked straight at the sky.

Qin Yu looked at the thin young man lying on the ground, he was still holding the knife tightly, the knife he thought could change his fate, Qin Yu raised his head, the setting sun in the sky was like blood, and the clouds in the west were also blood red.

Camp

The night in Hudi is very beautiful. The endless wilderness makes the whole sky look like an oval piece. Qin Yu lay on the felt blanket and looked at the sky full of stars above his head. At this moment, Hudi appeared extraordinarily peaceful, without daylight. The waves are rough, bloody and cruel.

Qin Yu couldn't sleep, the scene of the woman and the young man's death was still lingering in front of his eyes, what made him even more uneasy was what the young man said when he left.

"Batu, saving one person can't change the grassland, we have to save the entire barbarians"

It was a tone that was used to being cruel but full of compassion. Qin Yu could be sure that this barbarian aristocrat would not be ordinary, and how many such extraordinary barbarians were there in this land.

The environment in the Hu land is harsh, the people's customs are tough, and human life is like grass. This famine has driven the Hu people to madness. Then what will happen to the Hu people looking at Dayong, who is full of flowers and fertile fields? Under the leadership of such an extraordinary person, what will happen? How much damage is done.

The king of Wu in the south of the Yangtze River is ready to move, and the remaining party of Qin Zheng in the middle of the court is still alive, and His Majesty is tired of dealing with it.There are more than [-] troops in the northern border, and the counties have already spent more than half of Dayong's military expenditures to guard against the garrison of the feudal towns. In addition to disaster relief, appropriations, salaries and other items, the imperial court is not difficult, but it is also difficult. Tired of maneuvering.

Maintaining the northern border army for a long time is not beneficial to Dayong. There is a bright moon in the south, and there are Hu people in the north.

No, it can't go on like this, he sat up, looked at the stars in the distant sky, and felt that he needed to think of a way to solve it.
