Play Luan Policy

The snow fell and stopped for three days. The task of the herdsmen every morning was to clear the snow on the road they must pass. The snow outside the village was full of mountains and fields, and the sun was under the thick clouds. A blue light shone faintly.

During the autumn harvest, everyone stored a large amount of grain and dried meat, but even so, in the long winter, they still needed to save food and clothing. Qi Zhi obviously felt that the food brought daily was much less than usual. You will always hear the howling of wolves in the distance, suddenly far and near, as if they are far away in the sky and seem to have sneaked into your side.

The previous snow hadn't melted yet, and the strong north wind brought black snow clouds and ice particles from the north.Qi Yi no longer rides out of the village on horseback, and stays in the middle of the village all day long, imitating Aruna’s appearance and milking milk as brick milk, or goes to the shooting range to practice archery when the wind is getting weaker, and sometimes when Qi Zhen is not busy, he will teach some Simple boxing for her.

Qi Zhi began to get used to life on this grassland, used to eating food with his hands, used to the same seasoning with only a little salt, and used to the mellow milk tea and ghee.Thin layers of calluses appeared on the tiger's mouth of her left hand and the thumb of her right hand, and she could already draw a bow of fifteen strength, which was really not easy for a woman with no foundation.

Back from the shooting range that day, Qi Ping asked Aruna for milk wine and pancakes for the first time. The herdsmen are all preparing for the upcoming White Moon Festival, and the pastries are steaming in the kitchen.Usually Qi Ping seldom drank alcohol, seeing her in such high spirits, Aruna quickly poured a pot for her, and gave Qi Ping a large piece of steamed milk cake.

Today is the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it is also Qi Xiao’s birthday. The imperial city, which is thousands of miles away, should be bustling with excitement. All the civil and military officials will celebrate Qi Xiao’s birthday at His Highness Tai Chi. I remember that last year, the feast in the Tai Chi Hall lasted until late at night, and Qi Bing had no chance to attend. , but in Lanyue Palace, you can hear the silk and bamboo singing and dancing and firecrackers and fireworks from the east.Even though he is in a foreign country now, Qi Zhi still wants to celebrate the festive season with Qi Xiao here.

With milk wine in one hand and pastries in the other, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure on the way back to the tent.It is not appropriate to say that he is familiar with it, but since he saw the maroon horse in the stable, Qi Zhe often pays attention to the horses coming in and out of the stockade.

The visitor flashed past, wearing a thick light gray cloak, the appearance of the clothes could not be seen clearly, the others had already led the horses to the stables, and they could not see clearly, but from the back, Qi Zhi was sure that this person was the one he was waiting for. People who have been around for a long time.

Before he had time to put down the things in his hands, he walked around in a big circle to Qi Wei's felt tent, and hid in a corner not far away. As expected, Qi Zhen's felt tent was closed tightly, and after a while, he saw Min Huan also walking Hurry into the tent.

The sky was getting darker, the snow had stopped yesterday, even the wind was much weaker, the snow blocked the outside noises and rendered the surroundings quiet.There was no movement from the people inside, Qi Ping breathed out a breath of hot air on his hands, and rubbed them vigorously.

Finally unable to bear the cold of the night and the doubts in his heart, Qi Ping sneaked up to the door of the felt tent, put his ear close to the crack of the door and peeked at the wall to listen to the movement inside.

Inside the crack of the door were a few figures flickering under the candlelight, some were sitting and some were standing, but they were too dim to see clearly. Thanks to the wind today, I could barely hear the conversation inside when I put my ear close to the crack of the door. .

One of the voices was very strange, it wasn't Qi Wei or Min Huan, and he was full of air, "20 people have already gone north to the barbarians, and it shouldn't be long before they arrive here."

"He was so anxious that he didn't even give the soldiers a reunion dinner." The person who could talk was Qi Wei, with a bit of gloating in his sarcasm, "It seems that Qi Xiao is out of order. "

"That would...be beneficial to us." Min Huan's voice was not as loud as the other two, and it sounded intermittent, "It's us, when will we leave this place, princess..."

After that, Min Huan lowered his voice, and he could only hear the word "princess" from the other party. After that, he couldn't hear clearly anymore, and could only hear the voice of chattering.

Getting closer to the tent, trying to hear the conversation inside, suddenly the strange man exclaimed, "Soldier Talisman! Are you really in the palace?"

This sound really startled Qi Ping, who was stuck outside the door, and the skin bag full of milk wine slipped from his hand, and the skin bag didn't make much noise when it fell on the ground, but there was a low cry from his throat. The vigilance of the people inside.

Before he had time to run away, Qi Wei had already pushed open the tent door, looking at Qi Bao who was caught upright with a cloudy expression on his face.

Qi Ping turned around and laughed a few times, helped the buckskin hat tilted to one side, his nose and cheeks were red from the cold, but his lips were pale.

The original anger was half eliminated by her appearance, Qi Wei opened the door wider: "It's cold outside, what are you doing outside, come in."

As soon as he walked into the tent, Qi Ping breathed a sigh of relief from the heat blowing in his face, and shivered uncontrollably. A middle-aged man who was sitting just now saw Qi Ping quickly got up from his seat, respectfully cupped his fists and bowed his head. Said: "The last general Guo Zheng, pay homage to the princess, the princess is a thousand years old."

The past two months have passed, and I almost forgot my identity as a princess. Besides, there are not many people in the palace who are so respectful. With a face with splayed eyebrows and copper bell eyes, a dark complexion with a beard and a beard, one can tell at a glance that he is a soldier who has been fighting all year round.

While Qi Ping was looking at him, Guo Zheng sat back in his seat, and the people in the room fell silent because of Qi Ping's sudden appearance. Qi Ping motioned for Qi Ping to sit down, and asked Min Huan to pour her a cup of hot tea. Quhan, after drinking a cup and feeling warm all over, Qi Wei said: "Just now, how much have you heard?"

Qi Zhen's tone was calm and habitually fiddling with the scimitar at his waist. Qi Zhen didn't hide anything and said everything he understood and didn't understand just now. After hearing this, Qi Zhen thought for a while and was not angry. Explain to her that it's fine now, and explain the ins and outs of the matter along the way.

"This General Guo is under General Qin Dian." Qi Wei said, "And General Qin Dian has some connections with our mother's family."

Qi Bing searched for the name Qin Dian in his mind, but found nothing. Qi Biao on the opposite side waved his hand to tell her not to worry, and continued: "Back then, Qin Dian was a disciple of our grandfather Xiqiu, and his father was a general under the command of our great-grandfather. After saving our lives, our mother entered the palace as the queen, and General Qin also commanded a hundred thousand troops to garrison the border. He handed over a soldier talisman to his mother, saying that if there is a battle for the succession in the future, as long as he holds this soldier talisman for the children of the Xi family , he can lead the army to help out and repay the kindness of saving his life and the kindness of knowing him.”

"Then the person who rescued you, brother, was General Qin?" Qi Wei nodded in answer, and Qi Wei finally understood why Dayu didn't pay attention to the village of a thousand people located on the border of Dayu, "Where is the soldier talisman now?"

Hearing Guo Zheng's shout just now, it was clear that the soldier talisman was not in their hands, Qi Wei's expression was quite serious, he shook his hands and hung down his red tassels and said, "Originally, that soldier talisman should be worn by my mother all the year round, but What happened later was too sudden, and the whereabouts of the soldier talisman were unknown when I was rescued. I also sent many people to search for it, but in the end they found nothing, and the incident at the beginning of the year even hurt you, so as not to scare the snake away I can only give up."

Hearing this, Qi Bao subconsciously touched the wound on his neck that had already healed. It turned out that the assassin who broke into Lanyue Palace at the beginning of the year was actually a spy sent by Qi Zhen. She remembered the assassin's last hesitation. If he really wanted to take her life , nor would she appear panicked after cutting her neck, let alone fend off incoming sharp arrows with a sword, but it would be safer to use her as a shield.

Qi Xiao, who was standing in the distance, had discovered this a long time ago, so he ordered people to shoot back arrows, and then sent shadow guards to monitor him all the way.

Qi Zhen found that Qi Zhen was sitting blankly on the ground, his face turned pale, and asked Min Huan to pour her a cup of hot tea again, and apologized: "It's the elder brother's fault, it surprised Qi Er, at that time we had already searched for several main halls , I don’t have a clue, I think the spy finally went to your doctor to try his luck because of a disorder.”

"I never got any soldier talisman from my mother's mother." Qi Ping replied, and then glanced at the people around him, Qi Ping was puzzled again, "Since there is no soldier talisman, does it mean that General Qin can't help elder brother?"

When asked this question, Qi Wei was a little distressed and hesitated, and Guo Zheng next to him said: "The Xi family has kindness to General Qin first, and the military talisman is just an opportunity. Now that the two masters are here, how can General Qin be?" Unreasonable people."

The temperature of the teacup was warm in the palm of her hand, Qi Bao tightened her grip, she had to think that Qi Zhen saved her from the road of marriage, besides not being able to bear her, and Bei Xun, maybe there was another meaning, I'm afraid that if she gets the military talisman and marries into Beixun again, if she stands by Qi Xiao's side and ruins his plan, thinking of Qi Wei talking about countermeasures before, Qi Wei asked: "So now Emperor Yongfeng sent 20 troops northward, what's your plan?"

"This time when the 20 army goes north, it must be time for the forbidden army. If the 20 army invades the barbarians, we will lead the troops into the capital. When the army surrounds the capital, even if Qi Xiao has three heads and six arms, she will only be a turtle in the urn."

Finally understood Qi Zhen's plan, Qi Zhen held the teacup without saying a word, Qi Zhen seemed to see her thoughts, stood up and paced around the tent a few times, a little displeased: "Didn't you always Do you want to return to Beijing? You only need to wait another month before returning to Beijing."

Qin Dian holds 20 troops stationed at the frontier. Although they are distributed tens of thousands of miles across Dayu's border, as long as the tiger talisman gives an order, the 20 troops can march towards the capital at the same time within a few days. The soldiers encircled and suppressed the barbarians were unable to deal with the frontier at all, which happened to give Qi Wei the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.

The mystery finally cleared the clouds and saw the truth, but Qi Ping was a little heavier, and took a deep breath to calm down his emotions: "Then what if the soldier talisman appears in the opponent's hand?"

Somewhat surprised by Qi Wei's calm reaction, Qi Wei lost his eyes and looked at her, seeming to be a little apprehensive, but he still replied: "This soldier talisman is only useful in our hands, even if Qi Xiao takes the soldier talisman, it is just a piece of ordinary of jade."

With a thud in his heart, Qi Ping suppressed his beating heart, his face was still calm, and he looked up at the eyes similar to his own. Those eyes were probing and vigilant, as if he wanted to see Qi Ping thoroughly, and did not avoid the other party. Qi Wei was slightly worried: "If the city is besieged by heavy troops, and Qi Xiao is unwilling to hand over the jade seal until the 20 troops return to Beijing, wouldn't it mean internal and external troubles?"

"It's up to her." Qi Wei sat back in his seat, with a yellowed cowhide map spread on the table, and pointed to the Daqing Mountains where the barbarians and Dayu meet, "now the mountains are covered by heavy snow, wait for the army to come, enter You have to go, but getting out is even more difficult."

Pointing to the map, Qi Bao kept looking at Qi Bao's expression, without anxiety or fluctuation, and asked curiously: "What do you think?"

"It would be great if we could force Qi Xiao to abdicate without spending a single soldier." Qi Yan looked at the place where the Three Kingdoms meet on the map, and the side of her face was illuminated by the candlelight next to her, her black eyes were like deep pools, and she couldn't tell them apart for a while. Her thoughts, "If it doesn't work, the remaining tens of thousands of forbidden troops will never be the opponent of the 20 troops."

A trace of doubt flashed across Qi Zhen's expression, Qi Zhen's sudden change of attitude was full of suspicion, Qi Zhen smiled wryly at Qi Zhen's expression, his eyes fell on Qi Zhen's scar on half of his wrist and said: "Brother, going here must be extremely dangerous, I Only you as a relative, elder brother, hope that your journey will be smooth sailing."
