Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

Wan Xi's strange whereabouts always made Qin Juan feel uneasy, and he even had a premonition that Wan Xi would appear again.

Also after leaving Xiazhou, their westbound speed increased. Instead of taking the original route to Jingzhao Mansion and crossing the Hexi Corridor, they chose the route from Xiazhou to Heishui Heishan, and then to Shazhou , This road is more difficult than the road in Jingzhaofu because of the large area of ​​desert and Gobi on this road.

Of course, there is another reason to go through Heishui Heishan, and that is to find out the details of those Yangjiao soldiers.

Outsiders only think that King Dayong dared not leave the Jingzhao Mansion because he was afraid of causing war in the south, and he hoped that others would think so.

It took ten days to arrive at Heishui Heishan, passing through the sand sea on the way, which was delayed for several days compared to the expected time

For this reason, many soldiers have resentment. If they go south, they may have arrived at Jingzhao Mansion by now.

"Ten days, I can climb to Jingzhao... hey."

Of course it's not such an exaggeration, the new soldiers are just young and outspoken.

Ayiga lashed out with a whip and scolded them in a cold voice, and the boys immediately scattered in fright.

Jibuza laughed and said, "The recruiting is still a long way to go."

"Yes, these boys should be thrown to Jihab." Ayiga grinned.

Even though it is far away from here, these recruits still vaguely heard about the Jihab camp. I heard that less than [-]% of the people in this camp have survived from the beginning to the present in six years.

This data has already made people shudder.

Therefore, the rumors about the Jihab camp circulating in the south of the grassland are all bad.

The Jihab camp is just a microcosm of the reinforcements from the Western Expedition.

This is true for most of them. They joined the army to beg for a living. Because their hometown could no longer support them, they chose to go far away.

It took a long time for Qin Juan to say to them: "The west of Hexi is difficult. Master Ayiga told us to preview in advance. Only when we get used to the desert can we transform the desert."

The soldiers were lost in thought.

Ayiga came over and said with a smile: "I can't say such polite words... Well, it makes sense."

Only by adapting can we transform.

Their army camped within the confines of Heishui Heishan.

After all, there is only this oasis in the large desert, and it is reasonable to camp here for a few days.

The garrison in Heishui Heishan soon received the news.

"Dayong King?" Kuan Duan's lieutenant general asked suspiciously.

"It's the new king, the son of King Yiwen, Bo'er Jijin. Days." The visitor replied.

"It's him. If others come here, they should be afraid. This kid... Isn't his fiefdom west of Hexi, mainly Luobu City? In case of war."

"Okay, pay attention to their movements, and report immediately if there is any situation."

Here, King Dayong ordered the cooks to cook immediately after the soldiers set up camp.

After dinner, A Yiga led people to practice on the spot, while he changed clothes with Qin Juan, dressed as a herdsman, and sneaked into the jurisdiction of Heishui Heishan.

Qin Juan: "This is too risky."

Yue said: "It's okay, this section of the road will lead to mountains and forests, so it's easy to cover."

Qin Juan: "Other people's territory is more familiar than us, so it's not easy to run away when you meet someone."

Riyue blinked: "Isn't there still you? When someone finds out, you'll howl like a wolf to scare them away." He suspected that every day brought him to make him howl like a wolf to scare people.

"I won't tell you now, be careful to attract the wolf." Said every day and walked towards the direction of the forest.

The two walked into the woods side by side, as if it was fun every day, breaking everything with their hands twice when they saw it.

Qin Juan looked around, afraid that a group of horned soldiers would accidentally rush out of the forest.

"The more you walk in this forest, the cooler it is. It is obviously located in the desert, why does such a forest grow?" After walking for a while, Riri started to ask questions again.

"Because the surrounding deserts were formed later, and those deserts were also forests and grasslands before. When the king of Xixia stationed [-] troops here, the horses ate up the grass here, and the trees were cut down to build palaces and imperial mausoleums. "Qin Juan replied.

"How did you know?"

"I peeked at some historical materials from Mr. Xiazhou." Qin Juan replied with a slightly red face.

"I didn't expect Qin Lang that you would still do such a thing hahaha, you were peeking while we were drinking, hahaha..."

"Keep your voice down, you are not afraid of attracting people." Qin Juan grabbed his arm.

Unexpectedly, the grab slipped, and the two rolled down the hillside...

After the two spun around for a while, they opened their eyes and saw darkness.

It wasn't until they turned around that they saw light at the entrance of the cave. Did they fall into a certain cave?

"Ahhh... what the hell is this place!" Yueyue exclaimed.

"You're pressing me down." Qin Juan gasped in pain.His ankle must have been twisted.

"Why is there such an oasis surrounded by deserts, and there are caves in the forest in this place! It's really funny!" Riri stood up with one hand supported.

"..." Qin Juan was busy straightening his injured ankle, ignoring his nagging.

"The entrance of the cave is too deep, and the traces on the edge of the wall don't seem to be formed naturally. I know, it was dug out by people." After inspecting for a while, Riyue said pleasantly.

Qin Juan supported the edge of the wall to stand up, took two steps, and said in a deep voice: "My ankle is sprained, we have to leave here quickly, if we go back too late, Ayiga and the others will go crazy."

"But this hole is too deep, how do we get out?"

"I'll take you out after I go out first!" Qin Juan said, trying to climb up the wall.

"Didn't you sprain your ankle?" Riyue shouted.

Qin Juan was stunned: "I can still bear it." He took a deep breath and stepped on the cave wall.

Just as he was approaching the entrance of the cave, he lost his grip and his body slipped down.

Yue Yue was startled, rationally told him that he should get out of the way, but it was too late and then soon, Yue Yue stretched out his hand to pick him up...

Qin Juan quickly got up to help him: "Are you okay?"

Yueyue supported Qin Juan's arm: "...Fortunately, I have practiced before, otherwise this arm would be useless."

Qin Juan grabbed his arm to examine him, but he withdrew his arm in shock every day: "You hurt so much."

"...I'm sorry." Qin Juan was a little embarrassed for a moment.

Feeling his embarrassment, the little wolf cub felt that his emotions would be affected if he did something wrong, and he was still a little immature, so he sighed and said softly: "Let's not talk about it now, this hole is so deep and close. The walls are a few feet away, and the walls are a bit slippery, so let’s think about how we can get out...if it gets dark, there may still be beasts coming and going.”

"En." Qin Juan nodded and decided to try again.

"Wait a minute." Riri called him suddenly, because he felt that something was wrong under his feet, as if he was stepping on something.

He squatted down on the ground every day, because the cave was too dark, he asked Qin Juan if he had any flint and steel.

Qin Juan touched his body and found two

"Take off your outer robe." As soon as Yueyue opened his mouth, Qin Juan almost slipped and fell.

Qin Juan felt sorry for the outer robe and naturally refused.

"I'll buy you ten pieces when you arrive in Shazhou. You put the overall situation first." Said Yueyue loudly.

"Damn it, why don't you take off yours?" Even though Qin Juan said so, he still took off his robe.

It was getting brighter in the cave, and Qin Juan's robe was lit.

"Come closer." Riyue brushed away the weeds on the ground, only to see a bulge on the ground, like a switch

Qin Juan couldn't help squatting down.

"Is it a switch? The patterns on it look a little old..." Yue Yue whispered.He has seen many rare treasures and antique ornaments, so he is quite familiar with pattern carving.

"At least it's a carving from the Western Xia period..." Dayue didn't dare to touch it, just staring at it.

The outer robe burned very quickly, half of the sleeve was burnt in a short while, Qin Juan was not such a dawdling person, he stretched out his hand to touch the switch, tried it, he was sure it wasn't the kind to press down If the switch is pressed down, there should be a movement when Yue Yue stepped on it just now.

"Take it." Qin Juan handed the burning robe to Yueyue.

After trying twice, he thought he had made a mistake. Just as he let go, he heard a loud "boom".

"Ahhhhhh──"

Well now...they fell deeper...

Dayi only felt that the buttocks were blooming, and there were weeds covering them before, but now they just sat down on the stone slab.

When the burning robe fell from his head and was about to touch his face, Qin Juan pulled him away...

"Damn it, I was almost disfigured! Ahhh..." Dayu Hou patted his chest in fear.

The corners of Qin Juan's lips twitched slightly, it was ugly enough, it wouldn't look good if it wasn't disfigured...

But to be honest, because Tianyue has lost a lot of weight, recently he looks more and more pleasing to the eye, who knows what's going on!

Qin Juan didn't have time to think about this, he took advantage of the fire to look inside.

Seeing so many wooden boxes, he naturally didn't dare to step forward rashly, walked over slowly, raised his foot lightly, and kicked a box away.

"This!"

The contents of the box shone golden under the flames of the robe.

It's gold and silver jewelry, it's boxes and boxes of gold and silver jewelry!

Yueyue felt that his legs were weak and he couldn't stand up, because his first reaction was whether he had moved the cemetery of some prince or noble.It's not that I don't want to take things from the cemetery, and I'm sorry for falling and falling again and again today... He wanted to know if this was a mausoleum.

Qin Juan only felt that the injured foot was as soft as cotton candy now, unable to move. He had seen Jin Yuanbao and Jin Doudou when he was a child, but this box...

No, he has to slow down...

Instead, he spoke first: "Qin Lang, I don't think this is like a cemetery. Who would put the gold and silver buried with him at the gate of the cemetery... It looks like a place where someone specially hides things."

Jing Yueyue reminded Qin Juan that if it was a funeral object in the cemetery, there should be human figurines nearby, and these boxes would not be placed randomly, as if they were just places for storing things.

Yue Yue shouted: "Don't stand still, the fire is about to go out, let's find a place to go out! Since someone has come in to hide gold, there should be something out here."

What Yueyue said is correct, there is a rope ladder on the wall, and the rope ladder leads directly to a hole, but that hole is sealed.

Without thinking too much, Qin Juan turned around and went up the rope ladder. When he reached the top, he pushed open the round copper door blocking the entrance of the cave.

"Cough, cough, cough..." A burst of dust hit his face, and he coughed for a long time before he said to Riyue, "Come up quickly, you can get out here."

Riyue took off his outer robe and packed as many things as he could carry in the box, and after a while he went to climb the rope ladder.

Because the fire in the cave had been extinguished, Qin Juan couldn't see what was going on inside the cave, and was about to urge him to feel the movement of the rope ladder.

Yue Yue was able to see Qin Juan's position clearly through the light from the entrance of the cave, but it was only when he climbed up the rope ladder that he realized that this thing was not easy to climb at all, and its wobbling would scare a person to death.

After moaning for a long time, he finally climbed to the entrance of the cave, and Qin Juan dragged him out of the cave with a lot of effort.

"I'm exhausted." Lying on the ground every day, Qin Juan closed the copper door at the entrance of the cave, and then moved the surrounding soil and dead wood to cover the copper door.

He looked around and couldn't find the hole they fell into before?

There is also this possibility, after all, the hillside has a shady side and a sunny side.

"It's time to go back, and it will be dark if you wait a little longer." Qin Juan turned around and talked to Riri, only to see that guy sitting on the ground and counting the gold, silver and jewels he got out of the cave...

Qin Juan took a deep breath, really wanted to kick this guy to Daze!

He glanced around, went forward to wrap up the gold, silver and jewels quickly, and pulled Yue Yue's arm: "Can't you go back and count it? This is not your territory!"

It was completely dark, and Qin Juan and Riri hadn't walked out of the woods yet, but they could be sure that after walking around for a long time, they should have been on the outskirts of the woods and didn't go into the center of the woods.

It can also be estimated that the center of the forest is the garrison camp of the Yangjiao Army. This forest should have a radius of a hundred miles.

This place should not be called Heishan Forest seriously, it should be called Heishan Oasis.

Of course, this is the analysis of the two of them getting angry when they can't find their way.

"The compass is spinning... There must be ghosts in this forest..." Yue Yue held the compass on his chest in his hand, watched the pointer wobble from side to side, and frowned.

Qin Juan: "Who did this?"

"Wanxi's father gave it to me. I thought it was a good job, so I accepted it. In fact, the pointer is quite accurate. I have tried it from Datong Mansion to Xiazhou, and it is quite accurate." Said and closed. Good compass disk.

Qin Juan lowered his eyes for a moment and said: "If there is a large amount of magnetite in this forest, it will affect the magnetic poles, and it is possible for the pointer to rotate... But now it is enough to explain why the Sheep Horn Army in Heishui Heishan is seldom known. It is not easy for people who come into this forest to go out. If those herdsmen, woodcutters, and hunters come in and go around here for a few days before going out, they probably will not dare to come again next time, so stationing troops, training, and Or hiding things is the best..."

Yue said: "You don't mean we have to go around for a few days before we can go out?"

"Of course, now we write down the position of the Big Dipper, and wait until tomorrow night to observe the position of the Big Dipper, and then... and then... at most three days..." After finishing speaking, the little wolf cub grinned, a bit sly Very perverse.

Dayue was dizzy from being surrounded by him, and after a moment of daze, he put his hands on his hips and said, "It doesn't matter, this king ordered you to get out of here when the sun rises tomorrow."

In fact, it is not difficult to go out. Just now Qin Juan was amused by the sun. He pointed to the moon above his head: "I can't see the stars but I can see the moon. The moon also rises in the east and sets in the west. It's still early. Let's go east. If the sun is getting farther and farther away from us, our direction is right..."

Yueyue roughly understood it, and couldn't help looking at him in surprise: "I didn't see anyone who you learned from, how do you know so much?"

"..." Qin Juan was taken aback, "I observed it myself."

The more times I look up at the starry sky, the more I understand some rules.Although it is not easy to use, it is not difficult to use.

When they found the right direction, they finally left the place where they were going around.

If you can see the grassland from a distance, you will know that the road is right... It is also at this time that you can see the light flickering in the distance...

"It's the light of the horseshoe lamp, cover it first." Qin Juan dragged Ri Ri to the dark place.

Because of the strong wind in the forest, the sound of horseshoes mixed with the sound of the wind, they didn't notice it, and they didn't realize that someone was coming until they saw the light at this time.

There were not many people, only five, all of whom were dressed as shofars.

The appearance of these five people also indirectly proved to them that the road was not wrong, and this was the way out.

The five people didn't notice them, but they also scared the two of them into a cold sweat.

After all, he sneaked into someone's old lair and took away a bag of gold, silver and jewelry... If he was caught, he would have to play with his life.

Seeing that those people disappeared every day, and the sound of horseshoes was no longer heard, he urged in a low voice: "Let's go."

The two walked quickly towards the direction the cavalry came with their arms supported.

It wasn't until they reached the grassland that they started running wildly.

At this time, Qin Juan asked him: "Should we leave quickly, or stay here?"

"Naturally, run quickly. If it is really the gold and silver hidden in Kuoduan, if he finds out, he will definitely suspect me!"

Qin Juan frowned: "But..."

"What else can you do? I will order you to leave here as soon as I get back!"

Qin Juan lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "I don't think it's hidden by the expansion. You also said that the switch looks old, and didn't you notice it when you climbed the rope ladder? The thick rope seems to be broken. Same, even a few knots broke when stepping on it... These all show that the hidden gold cave has been around for a while, at least 20 years, so counting forward, it should be hidden by some Xixia officials when Xixia was about to disappear. That's why no one went in and moved..."

The little wolf cub finished speaking his opinion out of breath.

Running day by day gradually slowed down, what Qin Juan said made sense.

Qin Juan: "So according to the original plan, the regular army will stop for a few days and stop for a few days. If you leave too hurriedly, it will make people suspicious."

Yueyue nodded.

In the camp, Ayiga was furious with waiting for them, and didn't let the cavalry go to sleep until he saw them coming back.

I heard from Jibuza that Ayiga planned to bring people to find them, but luckily they came back.

Ayiga couldn't talk about King Dayong, so he took Qin Juan to talk for a while before allowing him to go to sleep, Songman had already gone to sleep in the tent.

Qin Juan tiptoed in and took a shower lightly, when Ji Buza came in.

There were not enough tents, so the three of them lived in one room and slept in separate beds.

When he woke up the next day, for some reason, Qin Juan felt that something was pressing his arm and he couldn't lift it up.He turned his face to one side, and saw Songman sleeping in his arms...

"?" Qin Juan clearly remembered that Songman slept on that small couch last night?what happened?

Hearing movement outside the account, he sat up, hugged Songman aside, and began to dress.

When he came out of the tent, Ayiga walked over with a sullen face and told him in a low voice: "A black mountain official has come, and he is now in the prince's tent, so don't go there."

Qin Juan was surprised, and the hairs on his body seemed to stand on end. Could it be that the garrison from Montenegro came here?

He thought about it carefully, it shouldn't be, if the Black Mountain garrison found something, they would definitely not look for it blatantly, and it would be possible to attack them.

This way of coming here may be just a formal procedure, or it may just be a visit from an official from Montenegro.

Qin Juan was worried about whether Riri had hidden the gold and silver well...don't let others see.

He knew that after they arrived in the fief, there would be a lot of places that needed a lot of money, and it became clearer every day that the fief that Empress Mazhen gave him was barren, scarce, and the climate was bad...

In another six years, it is unknown how many soldiers they brought from Datong Mansion and the [-] cavalry that Naimazhen will give them will be left.

Luobu City will be the center of the Japanese fief, because only this city can radiate most of the Japanese fief, unless they can build the big city they imagined near Luobo within ten years.

Regarding Luobu City, what Qin Juan knew was the wild wind and sand, the dilapidated wind streamers, the intertwined colorful flags, and the many believers of different religions there...

Almost the entire city is dominated by believers.

Probably it was a deliberate arrangement from the heavens, so that King Dayong, who was about to go there, happened to be a person who didn't believe in gods, Buddhas, or ghosts...

In the autumn of this year, Qin Juan followed King Dayong to Luobu City.

When I was six years old, I may have passed here with the army of Jihab Battalion, but I just don’t remember it, and I have no impression at all.

He remembered when he passed here with General Xuebietai a year ago.

Different from a year ago, Luobu City at this time welcomed the king, even though the local officials were poor, they arranged for the people to welcome him.

Yueyue likes purple, and purple and red cloth banners are used at the gate of the city.

When Qin Juan rode through the city gate, he stared at these cloth banners in a daze.

Purple dye is difficult to extract and is mostly imported from far west, so pure native purple cloth is expensive anywhere.

Of course, people in the Song Dynasty in the south were smart. They added red with indigo and mixed it into a mixed purple that can replace the original purple. This purple usually has a little red base color, or blue base color. The Song Dynasty used to dye these mixed purple into The cloth sold to Xixia and Daliao who love purple.

Qin Juan thought that he would be happy to see the sincerity of the officials towards him every day. At least they put their minds to it and did not perfuse this young prince who had no support from his father and mother.

They vacated the best palace in the city for the prince as his sleeping place.

Riyue seemed to have expected it long ago, and didn't mind at all, after all, he was once a prince's son who had experienced with the army.As long as the place where you live is clean and tidy.

On the first day when Yue Yue came here, he handed the decrees sorted out by Ji Buza to the city officials of Luobu City.

The city official was called Luwen Zhenxiu, and he was of Mongolian nationality, but Qin Juan looked a bit like a Tibetan from his name.It's possible, it's not easy to inquire about private matters, so let's call him Master Zhenxiu from now on.

Lord Zhenxiu bowed and saluted and accepted the decree handed over by Ji Buza.

At this time, Yueyue also ordered: "This king will have a few people under his command. Jibuzha will work with Master Zhenxiu after he has been appointed as a civil servant. Ayiga has been appointed as a general of the sixth rank. The decree has been issued in Dadu. The sealed documents should be on the way. As for the fact that there is no lieutenant in front of the general, this lieutenant..."

Behind Master Zhenxiu, several adults in Luobu City are ready to move, and there are a lot of people waiting to support them, and they are worried that they will not have a chance.

But Dayong Wang Yufeng turned around, squinted his eyes and said: "This man, he solved the siege of Hu Si's ear by himself, and shot and killed the general of the Guzhi Tata tribe at the age of 11. This article is about this man. I don't know what you think? Or Do you think there is someone who has made more achievements than this person? You might as well let this king hear about the heroic deeds, this king should cherish talents and entrust them with important responsibilities."

Jibu Zhadu secretly thought that the prince is really cruel...

Those officials hurriedly saluted and bowed: "The prince is wise and powerful, so the person chosen is naturally the best."

"Qin Juan, come here, from now on you will be the only lieutenant next to General Luo Bucheng, let's get to know these adults well today." Yue Yue smiled brightly.

Qin Juan walked over and stood in front of the officials.

The officials couldn't help raising their heads to look at the figure of this young man, Qi Wei. He was a bit thin and looked too slender. He wore a half mask on his face, revealing a beautiful nose, and his seemingly thin and tense lips were almost perfect. jaw...

Some officials also noticed that his hands were very good-looking, with well-defined joints, slender and long.

"Take off the mask and let them know your face." I will tell you again every day.

Qin Juan took off the mask obediently, revealing a handsome face in front of everyone, there were a few gasps, and then immediately fell silent.

It was an immature face, as expected, it was still a child.

Master Zhenxiu knew that such a youthful face would inevitably be dissatisfied, and it was no wonder that King Dayong asked him to wear a mask.

He took the lead in saying to Qin Juan: "Master Qin, we will be colleagues from now on."

In fact, even though this Luobucheng official has no rank, he is still higher than that of Lieutenant General Qin Juanyi.

Qin Juan understood, and immediately saluted Zhenxiu.

In less than half a month, Ayiga's seal of command arrived in Luobu City, along with the armor of the sixth-rank general.

Ayiga became the only sixth-rank general in this city.

"Brother, your dream has finally come true." At this moment, Qin Juan was happier than A Yiga, as if he went back to a few years ago, when he was the eight or nine-year-old child, and A Yi was in front of him that day. Karma, coincides with Ayiga who is now in armor.

Ayiga was naturally also happy. He stretched out his arms and hugged Qin Juan: "Brother still needs to work hard, and you have to work hard too. Let's become kings and generals together!"

"En!" Qin Juan nodded and grinned.

From this day on, Qin Juan rode behind the armored Ayiga, and they would patrol Luobu City at the beginning of the morning.

After a long time, everyone in Luobu City knew them.

A handsome general in armor, and a masked young lieutenant following the general.The patrol cavalry behind them will always change, but these two people remain unchanged.

Gradually, Qin Juan found that there were a few more women following them.

He noticed that those women wanted Ayiga to look back at them, but Ayiga knew of their existence, but never looked at them.

What Qin Juan cares more about is how the officials and people in Luobu City think of Ayiga, which is not good for Ayiga, and some people even say that Ayiga "seduces" a woman from a good family. He had vaguely heard some rumors, and he didn't want Ayiga to be troubled by fame in the future.

Winter is about to enter, and Luobu City in winter is very difficult. At that time, if there are fewer of these women coming out, they will no longer follow behind the patrolling cavalry... Thinking of this, he vaguely looks forward to the arrival of winter.

The heavy snow reduced the number of pedestrians on Luobucheng Road.

The construction of the city wall of Luobu City also gradually began to stop. King Dayong wanted to build the city wall of Luobu City within two years, so that they could defend Luobu City in case of war.

It was also the day when it was snowing heavily, and Wudu, the follower of Riri Riri, rode into Luobu City.

Wu Du has been with Yueyue since he was seven years old, and his feelings for Wudu are more like relatives.

Wu Du brought the latest news about the Jihab camp: the general was seriously injured and was in danger. The general was afraid that he would die at any time and wanted to see him for the last time. He had something important to explain.

"Why is it at stake! What happened! What happened!" Riri shook Wu Du's shoulders with both hands, his eyes were so red that tears might gushe out at any moment.

"The general led the cavalry to support...he was hit by an arrow at a vital point, and his life was saved. I'm afraid it won't last long, so...so..." Wu Du said with a choked voice, "Now the general just waits Seeing you... Even Master Wulin Nu has been dismissed..."

After Wu Du finished speaking, he knelt down.Then many people knelt down...

There are many generals on the prairie, many of them are those appointed by sweats and kings, but in three or five large camps, there is only one general.

This is the only general that Qin Juan knew so well, and he didn't even know the real name of the general, because people who knew him could only call him the general, and no one dared to call him by his real name.

When Wokuotai Khan was alive, there were only a handful of generals he appointed.

Yue Yue's uncle is one of them.

The general's record is not the best, it can even be called ugly, and the statistics of his subordinates are also the worst... But every camp he supported has not had a single failure.

Maybe...they exchanged the tragic data for the success and achievements of others.

Regardless of other things, Qin Juan has to say that this is the true spirit of the support camp.

In Mongolian, Rijihabu means spirit.

Hearing this, the suffering when I was young gradually turned into a memory.

He will not forget the change that Jihab Camp has made to his life, from good to misery, but he will not forget the spirit that Jihab taught him either.

He exited here silently, without being noticed by others, he needs to be alone for a while, because he has not yet grown to the age where he can let go of the suffering.

He still remembers the ugly and the ugly.

He was worried about Nunu Mohe, about Sangbagan, about Mu Ya and Daying, but he knew that as long as they were alive, they would meet one day.

That night, every day took Wudu in casual clothes and left Luobu City for Andigur City in the Western Region.

Qin Juan wanted to go with him, but he was never sure, saying that the city defense construction would start as soon as the snow stopped, and he had to be left in the city to oversee the work.

Let’s say that I’m going to estimate that I won’t be able to come back until the end of next spring or even the end of summer.

The distance from Luobu City to Andiku City is like the distance from Dadu to Luobu City. It is far and long.

Because it was a secret trip and there was no grand farewell ceremony, Qin Juan and Ayiga sent Riyue and Wudu to the sand dunes thirty miles away from Luobu City and then returned.

The daily parting is silent.

When Qin Juan looked at the long yellow sand, he could only pray for the general to last until the day came... This would be the best for the situation.

I also pray that Riyue and Wudu will return safely.

This year's New Year, Qin Juan took Songman to spend at Master Zhenxiu's house, and his natal year quietly passed away amidst the sound of firecrackers...

Mr. Zhenxiu’s family likes Songman very much. Mr. Zhenxiu has a daughter who is six years old, but she looks like a boy. She has big eyebrows and big eyes. She always makes fun of Songman. Threatened with arms akimbo: "Cry again, cry again, I will marry you when I grow up!"

Hearing this sentence, Songman squeezed back tears abruptly: "I don't want to marry you, I won't marry you even if I marry a sow!"

Hearing this, the servants in the yard could all lean forward and backward with laughter, and the little girl laughed like a normal person: "I will find you a sow when I grow up, hahahaha, if you want white, It's still going to be black."

"..." didn't make Songman angry.

If it weren't for the wife of Mr. Zhenxiu's family who would cook delicious food, he wouldn't want to be bullied here!Brother Qin Juan said he can't hit women, so what should he do if he is being bullied by women all the time?Who will save him!

The New Year's dinner was after noon, and because the wife of Mr. Zhenxiu was a Han woman, the customs of the Central Plains were preserved here, making Qin Juan feel like returning to his hometown.

This should be the most comfortable new year he has ever had since he was six years old.

After eating New Year's dinner, Songman and Luwen Chunhua dragged him to the street outside the door to set off fireworks and light firecrackers. Songman followed Chunhua's buttocks and threw firecrackers when he saw a child of about the same age come out. The children on the street cried so loudly that they hid at home and dared not go out.

Mrs. Luwen is still busy in the yard. This is a hardworking and beautiful woman. Qin Juan can see the shadow of his mother in her body, so the appearance of his mother is vivid in his memory again... so quietly , quietly, return quietly.

They are also Jin Guo Han women, they all have such similarities in common.

Completely different from her daughter Luwen Chunhua's fuss, Mrs. Luwen is quiet because she can't speak.

As soon as she looked up and saw Qin Juan looking at him, she beckoned him to come over, Qin Juan froze for a moment, and walked over.

She lifted the pot and brought out a plate of freshly steamed rice cakes.

After some gestures, he handed him the chopsticks.

Qin Juan took the chopsticks, and at that moment, his eyes were a little red.

This is Jiangzuo's rice cake, the only rice cake in Jiangzuo...

Mrs. Luwen must know that he is from Song Dynasty.

I don't know how she knew, but at this moment, his heart was filled with emotion.

He almost choked up and finished eating a plate of rice cakes, without feeling his mouth was burning at all...

When he came back from Lord Zhenxiu's mansion with Songman on his back, it started to snow heavily. He was carrying Songman on his back, and Songman tied his cloak on his back, and the two snuggled together in the cloak.

After Songman played with snowflakes for a while, he fell asleep on his shoulder.

Qin Juan walked a little faster, and there seemed to be a person stopped at the corner of the street in front of him. When he raised his head to look at that person, the person disappeared around the corner.

At that moment, he realized that the figure holding the umbrella just now... had a little... resemblance.

Zhao Huaizhi.

The blood in his whole body froze for a moment, and he chased after him at a rapid pace, until he reached the corner, and looked at the end of the long street, but there was no one...

The empty market, heavy snowfall, thousands of households are celebrating the festive season, there will be no one else on the street except his family who are going there.

Perhaps his eyes were dazzled, how could he see Zhao Huaizhi here!

He must be crazy.

His lips trembled slightly, deeply puzzled by his crazy thoughts, but...why...he thought of Zhao Huaizhi.

He suddenly quickened his pace home, he must have been too tired from playing.

As long as you sleep and wake up, you won't think about it.

The fifth day of the lunar new year was his birthday, so he handed Songman over to Ji Buza. For some reason, he wanted to leave Luobu City and go for a walk outside the city, so he asked his boss, Ayiga, to ask for leave.

Unexpectedly, Qin Juan received a gift from Ayiga on his birthday this year.

A breastplate, two bracers, and two armplates.It would take at least a large ingot of horseshoe silver to sell it.

The little wolf cub jumped up happily, it was Armed Forces!Armed!What a boy's dream!

"Brother, you are my own brother!" The little wolf cub was so happy that he wanted to hug Ayiga's neck.

A Yiga raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I will give you a pair of leg armor next year, brother is a little poor now... Hehe!"

The little wolf cub nodded again: "I'm waiting!"

"Okay, I want to go out of the city early and come back early." Ayiga patted him on the shoulder and went to patrol the city.

Qin Juan put on a brand new breastplate, arm armor, and wrist armor and rode out of the city with great vigor.

But after walking a few miles, I noticed...

Someone is following!

Naturally, it wouldn't be Ayiga or the officials of Luobu City... Then who would want to follow him?

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the figure that appeared at the street corner on New Year's Eve...

His body froze and he slowed down for some reason.
