The happy life of the devil and the devil

The people beyond the Great Wall live by grazing, live by water and grass, move with the weather, and have always lived in no fixed place-this last sentence is actually to fool the farmers who don't know the truth.

The truth is that even for nomads, the pastures are assigned to various tribes, ethnic groups, and even families.If you rashly cross the border to graze on other people's pastures, it's like going to farm on other people's land without authorization, and taking the things you planted and running away.If caught by the owner, it can really punch a dog's brain out of a human head.

It's just that the land required for grazing is much wider than farming.It takes [-] mu of pasture to feed a sheep, and [-] mu for a cow or a horse. If a family of herdsmen is wealthy, they will probably have three to five hundred sheep and dozens of cows and horses.In this way, the grassland occupied by a herdsman is almost equivalent to a village in the interior.The large and small tribes on the grasslands, ranging from dozens to hundreds of households to tens of thousands of households, migrated according to the seasons, which inevitably confused the farmers who rely on two legs to run.

But in the eyes of the nomads themselves, there are traces to follow when and which tribe is probably in which place.Especially in winter, there are only a few places that are suitable for a tribe to live together, with lush water plants and shelter from wind and snow.So Yuan Shao gave an order, and the envoys of the Jinwu Guard immediately rushed out, carrying the snow flakes like knives, and rushed to one winter settlement after another.

And among the envoys from all walks of life, there were Xuanjia guards in black clothes and black armor, with Sinan and a blank map book in their arms, silently hiding in the team, taking advantage of any breaks on the way to write and draw, without raising their heads.Ling Yucheng said: Caravans are not easy to go in winter, if you have this opportunity to touch the winter camps of various ethnic groups, you must not let it go!

These are things for later.As soon as King Xi fell, the original banquet could not go on.Although it hasn't reached the point where it is necessary to stop the court to express condolences, King Xi's life is hanging by a thread here, and it is not very good to eat and drink there.What Yuan Shao can do is to give doctors and medicines, and then summon the children of King Xi who are present in turn, and comfort each other with gentle words.

This round of summons is more tiring than a whole day's banquet from breakfast to night!

After dismissing the last courtier, Yuan Shao frowned and stepped into the sleeping tent.The wind and snow were howling these days, and even at noon it was as dark as dusk, not to mention that it was already Shenchu, and it was impossible to see without turning on the lights.The big butter wax in the tent was brightly lit, Ling Yucheng was leaning over the table, concentrating on moving something, until Yuan Shao patted him on the shoulder from behind, he jumped up in fright, frantically, almost wiped the paper on the table. Things fell to the ground.

"What are you doing?" Yuan Shao pressed Ling Yucheng's shoulder, pushed him back onto the brocade stool, and leaned over his shoulder to look.The cups, plates, pens and inkstones on the Dafang table were all gone, a map occupied the entire table, and black and white chess pieces were scattered and intertwined in an irregular manner.Yuan Shao only glanced at it, and his brows frowned involuntarily.

"This is……"

"Jinwuwei, Yubayashiwei," Ling Yucheng swept all the chess pieces on the map into the chess basket, picked up three black stones, put them on the map, and then dropped three more pieces next to each other. "Xuanjiawei," a sunspot fell, "Tiancewei, Flying Cavalrywei," another black chess piece, and finally grabbed a handful, and scattered one sparsely far away.

"King Xi." Yuan Shao followed with a sigh, and grabbed a handful of white stones, "Yingyangwei, Leopard Taowei, Feixiongwei." Scattered in a circle, the cluster of white stones in the center of the map is impressively different from the white stones. There are several times more sunspots.In the outer circle, there is still a large group of white men staring at them, blocking the black men outside the pass.

The two looked at each other silently.When they followed Beiliang to revolt, the Xi tribe themselves were divided into five tribes, each occupying one side.In 80 and [-], although the current King Xi is the patriarch of the Xi clan, occupying the best pastures, having the strongest warriors and the most slaves, his clan is only directly subordinate to Yingyangwei. this one.

"Flying Bear Guard and Leopard Tao Guard are far away. Besides, Prince Xi may not be able to promise them enough." Ling Yucheng wiped his hand, and all the scattered white men in the distance disappeared. "Even if someone has some thoughts that shouldn't be moved, it's just a disease of scabies, and it won't become a serious problem."

"So, the only thing to pay attention to is Ying Yangwei."

Yuan Shao nodded, took a white chess piece from the map, and then made a random move to break up the piles of white chess pieces, one group in the east and another group in the west.Even so, the largest cluster of white stones seems to have a lot more than black stones.

However, the current difference in quantity has already made both of them heave a sigh of relief.

"Once King Xi can't move, as long as his sons have a few successful ones, they can dismantle each of Ying Yangwei, and that's safe." Yuan Shao's eyes swept over the scattered white pieces. , "Although they may not dare to do anything, it's better to be safe."

Just like a tiger, when it is strong, it can command the pack of wolves, but once the pack has the upper hand in numbers, it dares to pounce and bite.Or, when the tiger shows its fatigue and wounds...

"This is not what I'm worried about." Ling Yucheng sighed lightly. "Your Majesty, the team delivering supplies from the customs should have arrived yesterday morning. Calculating the time, it is almost two days late."

Yuan Shao gave him three days, but in fact, from noon on the second day, people rushed over one after another.By the morning of the third day, the camps in the entire settlement had grown completely larger, like a summer grassland after a thunderstorm, surrounded by the golden-roofed tent and the King Xi tent outside it, and tents blossomed one after another. Like mushrooms, they grew out of nowhere.

In these three days, Yuan Shao has not been idle.

In addition to continuously summoning the adult children of King Xi, as well as the generals of Yingyangwei, Feixiongwei, and Baotaowei, Yuan Shao also asked about King Xi's condition from time to time, and visited him in person at least once a day.As for the imperial physician who was sent to treat King Xi, he was even more busy non-stop. In addition to treating King Xi all day long, he also had to bring some precious gifts specially bestowed by His Majesty on the way to and from King Xi's tent and His Majesty's tent. The herbs are back.

With such grace, King Xi was unconscious for most of the day, and when he woke up, his mouth and nose were crooked, the root of his tongue was stiff, he couldn't speak a word, and his cheeks were full of tears.When Yuan Shao came to visit, he couldn't move, but he forced the prince to support him to turn sideways, touching the pillow with his forehead.As for Prince Xi's son, who never left his footsteps to serve the sick in front of his father, tears welled up in his eyes, wishing he could be smashed to pieces to repay the king's kindness.

On the night of the third day, Wang Zhang reported urgently again, and Xi Wang's condition became serious, and he had the intention to settle the account if he couldn't get up.Although it was late at night, Yuan Shao still hurriedly put on his clothes, and together with Ling Yucheng, rushed over against the cold wind that was blowing like a knife.

The lights in the king's tent were brightly lit, and the voices of people were noisy.From the door of the tent to the soft couch where King Xi lay, countless people seemed to come and go.Yuan Shao waved his hand to stop the guards at the door from notifying, and walked in lightly. He saw people carrying medicine, pouring water, people wringing cloth towels holding bowls, and Wang Xi's group of crying and crying people. , The children who wanted to fight for a good position beside the father's bed were like a hive that exploded, and there were buzzing people rushing around.

"Quick, needle! The longest one!"

"Get out of the way! Don't block the light!"

"My lord has passed away!"

Yuan Shao was extremely fortunate that no one had informed him when he came in just now.Otherwise, if everyone knelt down and kowtowed to salute, King Xi would have to stand dead here immediately.When the time comes, it's all his fault...

Not every doctor is Yang Qiu. When it comes to taking care of patients, even the emperor can ignore him.

Cough, it's not that the emperor can't bear the crime of killing King Xi, but there's no need to bear it for no reason, right?

At this moment, Yuan Shao not only did not go up, but also quietly avoided to the side, looking at the group of soldiers in front of him.Ling Yucheng also followed him and rubbed a few steps to the side, and in a flash, he touched the soft curtain hanging from the top of the tent.

Even if this is just a section of the king's tent separated by felt curtains, the places on the side are very inconspicuous.Ling Yucheng moved a little half a step, looking over Yuan Shao's shoulder at the group of adults crying and children screaming, silently remembering who was crying in real pain and who was simply howling in response to the situation, when he suddenly felt heavy on his feet, looked down, and immediately froze .

On the feet, there was a colorful little meatball sticking there, holding his calf with one hand, and holding the hem of his cloak with the other hand, and blew his nose hard.Seeing him looking down, he suddenly sank into his dantian, opened his milky voice, and burst into tears.

Ling Yucheng: "..." Whose brat, come and take it away!

At this moment, there were more than a dozen adults standing crowded together at the end of the bed, and further outside was a row of little radish heads, the older ones were about ten years old, and the younger ones were just walking.After receiving the news that King Xi was critically ill, his children tried their best to bring all their children here. If King Xi could wake up for a moment at last, it would be good for his grandson and grandson to share more benefits with them.If it hadn't been for the doctor's rescue, Ling Yucheng dared to swear that they could fill King Xi's bed with small meat dumplings!

In this way, the doctor has to pay special attention to his feet when he goes in and out, so as not to accidentally step on someone's baby bump.Older children are fine, what do children of two, three, four or even younger know?I was woken up in the middle of the night and hugged me, but I couldn't sleep, and the familiar nanny was not there, so why didn't they all cry at the top of their throats?

After a glance, Ling Yucheng immediately gave Yuan Shao a sideways glance.No strange things would come out of Wang's tent, and Yuan Shao walked in front again, so he didn't pay attention to his surroundings.But he didn't pay attention, how can Yuan Shao, who has become instinctive to see all directions and hear all directions, not pay attention?To let such a little baby roll straight to his feet, Yuan Shao must have done it on purpose!

"I thought you liked children..." Ling Yucheng glared at him more and more fiercely as the voice came through the noise.

"I don't like other people's children!"

"Oh... so Lang'er is a child of our own family..."

Is it too late to bite him now?Is it too late?

While he was struggling, Yuan Shao coughed lightly, and shouted, "Come on!" He used a little bit of internal strength for his voice, although the volume was not high, but everyone felt that the vibration was ringing in their hearts.At the moment, everyone followed the prestige, and after a while, the big tent fell to their knees with a clatter.

Even with so many people registering for the ceremony, Yuan Shao only nodded and said to the sweaty doctor, "Take care of your prince first." Then he turned to look at Ling Yucheng, and everyone followed his gaze , the line of sight immediately focused on the little meat dumpling on Ling Yucheng's feet.

Immediately, a man rolled down in cold sweat, struggling to walk forward on his knees, but the crowd was too dense, and he couldn't climb out of a way for a while.A dozen steps away, the child sat on Ling Yucheng's feet and cried loudly, crying a few times, and even wiped his face with the hem of Ling Yucheng's cloak.

Ling Yucheng froze there straight, he wanted to make a Cuju movement, throwing the little meat balls on his feet, even if he wasn't in full view, he couldn't do this hand; he wanted to bend down to pick up the child and hand it to him Father, he really can't bear this face.Just when he was in a dilemma, his feet became hot, and a strange smell wafted out quickly.

Actually, actually peed!

It's true that they wear snow-resistant boots that won't seep into the socks, but, but...

It's disgusting!

Ling Yucheng's whole body is not well!

He dared to swear to God, if Lang'er had been a few years younger when he met him back then, and given him such a show, no matter how obedient and sensible he was when he grew up, he would not accept this child as a student!

Just when the child's father was about to be overwhelmed and Ling Yucheng didn't dare to kick the child out, Yuan Shao bent down, grabbed the child by the collar and flung it outward.The colorful meat dumpling drew an arc and fell into the arms of the child's father. The people around were somewhat stained with some strange liquid, but they didn't dare to wipe it off in front of the emperor, so they had to kneel there obediently.

That father is going to cry to death!This kid, even hugging His Majesty's thigh is better than hugging the Queen's thigh!I even pissed... You said that if the queen was a woman, it would be better to smooth things over. To put it bluntly, she would give birth to a baby early after being stained with a boy's urine, but now she is a man...

Could it be that congratulations on becoming a father?

In the middle of a dilemma, a pair of boots strode forward in his vision, followed by another pair.He hugged his crying baby son tightly, when he heard a deep voice not far away:

"How is your lord?"

The author has something to say: Xi Wang wept bitterly and kowtowed on the pillow:

I beg your Majesty, please don't come, let Chen Ansheng recover from his illness... You are just torturing people once you come here

The author's revisionism strikes again...
