Chapter 682 Stable
Hu people don't have too many tricks up their sleeves. When everyone heard Bald-faced Khotan's words, they immediately felt that there was indeed money to be made in going south to rob those miscellaneous Hus. They all looked yearning and agreed.
"Okay, since everyone agrees, then go back quickly, prepare your horses and arrows, and just listen to my orders and set off immediately."
Bald Xianbei was forced to leave Yinshan a few years ago and headed west to find a place to settle down. He was very familiar with migration.
Now that they heard your Lord's order, all the leaders responded in unison and went out of their tents to prepare.
After everyone left, the bald Pigu added a piece of cow dung to the fire pit. The firelight reflected his face, and the wrinkles on his forehead were layered. This was the best proof that the old patriarch was worried about the life and death of the tribe.
After a long time, the bald Pi Gu asked, "Tu Gu, you suggested that we go south. Have you already considered this?"
Bald-faced Khotan sat back to the firepit, stretched out his hands to warm himself, and nodded.
"Ah Da, I am in Xiangwu. I saw that Hao Zhaorang deliberately cut off our rear and led his men to escape. I knew that he was not trustworthy."
“If we go with him to Longyou and win a big victory this time, I don’t think he might even think of rewarding us if he is in a good mood.”
"It's a pity that he was defeated by the Han people. You went to him to borrow food. In fact, I have been worried that he would be angry with you and it would be detrimental to you."
At this point, the bald man sighed, and then an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his voice.
"Ada, whether we are forced to leave Yinshan or we are forced to lead the elite cavalry to fight for others, it is not because others are too strong, but because we are too weak!"
The bald man was startled and looked up at his son.
“Ah Da, now the Wei and Han people are fighting endlessly. Even those miscellaneous men can occupy such a good place, and even dare to besiege the Wei people’s cities.”
The bald man's eyes became more and more intense as he looked at his Ada, "Isn't this a good opportunity for us to grow stronger?"
"As long as we are strong enough and let those **** farm and graze for us, we will have enough food."
"Even if there is no way to reproduce the majesty of our great Xianbei like Tan Shihuai, we can still defend ourselves and no longer have to obey the orders of the Wei people."
When the bald man heard these words, a look of horror finally appeared on his face.
“Ada, at first you would rather move away with your tribe than obey Tuoba Liwei. Are you willing to obey the orders of the Wei people now?”
The bald man stared closely at the bald man.
Bald Pigu considered himself a knowledgeable person, but he didn't expect to be shocked by his son's words.
Bald-haired Pigu looked at the flames in the fire pit and was silent for a long time. Then he asked in a low voice, "Didn't you just say that the Wei people are powerful and we are not strong enough to compete with them?"
"Ah Da, we are not strong enough to compete with them, but what about the Han people?" Bald-haired Tianli showed excitement on his face, and moved his body closer to Bald-haired Pigu.
“Ada, do you know that this time I followed Hao Zhao to Longyou and got some news.”
"what news?"
The bald Pigu didn't understand why his son was so excited.
“I heard the news about Feng Langjun.”
“What is Feng Langjun?” The bald-haired Pigu’s face changed slightly, “That Feng Langjun?”
"Yes, it's Feng Langjun who told us where to stay." The bald man's face glowed red against the firelight because of excitement.
"I heard that Feng Langjun is quite famous among the Qianghu people in Longyou. The most important thing is that I specifically asked about it. Feng Langjun is very famous among the Han people."
“Ada, think about it, the Wei and the Han are mortal enemies. If the Wei people don’t give us food, we will go and help the Han people.”
"Feng Langjun is kind to us. I made the White Horse Alliance with him at the beginning. This time we are going to Longxi, which is the place bordering the Han people."
“I will go find Feng Langjun then. With Feng Langjun’s reputation for fairness, he will definitely not refuse to trade with us.”
"As long as we clean up the miscellaneous people in Longxi, we can protect ourselves. When the Wei and Han people compete for Liangzhou, we can also take advantage of both sides and take the opportunity to strengthen ourselves."
After hearing the words of the bald man, even the experienced bald man felt his heart beat with excitement.
"But Tu Gu, Feng Langjun is a Han! He helped us so much, but this time we went to help the Wei people fight the Han people. Is Feng Langjun still willing to help us again?"
“Ada, the Qianghu and Han people in Liangzhou have been fighting for so many years. Are you still willing to accept the Qianghu’s annexation?”
Tufa Tianli had a different view on this, "And it was Feng Langjun who pointed us to the West Sea in the first place."
“So Feng Langjun will definitely understand our situation and know that we are helpless. As long as we are willing to help the Han people fight the Wei people, how can he refuse to help us?”
Bald Pigu finally nodded after hearing this, "It was you who received the guidance from Mr. Feng, and that gave us a place to stay."
"If our tribe can grow stronger again because of this trip south, and we no longer have to submit to others, you will be the biggest contributor to our Bald Hair Tribe."
Bald-faced Kheli was so excited that his body was trembling slightly, "Ah Da, if we succeed in going south this time, then from Longxi in the south, across the river, and to the West Sea in the north, it will be the pasture of our Bald-haired tribe."
In November of the sixth year of Jianxing, the Xihaibei Tufa tribe left the land of the West Sea, and the whole family headed south, crossed the river, and turned to Longxi in the southeast to find a place to spend the winter.
Though the bald people are more likely to migrate than in winter, the people in Jincheng are living a much more comfortable life.
Outside Jincheng, new buildings have been built continuously in recent years, centered on the Dongfeng Express Warehouse built on the Qingyi Waterfront.
The Xinghan Hui also used their connections to buy the original crude pier and the surrounding land on the Qingyi waterfront, and then re-expanded it into a large pier.
The three most important lines of the Xinghan Hui, as long as the supplies pass through Jincheng, they will be transferred here.
Now this has become the largest material distribution center in Jincheng.
At the same time, Xinghanhui also moved its headquarters here in Jincheng.
The tall courtyard walls are first built with rammed earth and then covered with green bricks. They occupy a large area. The construction methods of the courtyard walls alone are enough to show off their wealth.
Let alone the layout inside.
Pavilions, terraces and pavilions, each hugging the terrain, with winding corridors, long corridors like belts, and towering eaves like horns. These are used to house outsiders traveling from various places.
Of course, you have to pay a high room rate.
But it’s worth it, because if you live here, you may meet a big boss of the Xinghan Society at any time.
If you can build a relationship and ask a big boss to do a favor, it will be enough to make the average business full.
The outer courtyard is separated from the inner courtyard by two walls. There is a large open space in the middle, guarded by security personnel.
The inner courtyard is not as prosperous as the outer courtyard, but it is much quieter.
But in the middle of the inner courtyard, there is a large attic that can accommodate more than a hundred people. This was specially specified by the leader to be built.
Deng Liang, the chief helmsman of the Xinghan Hall, was General Zhao Yun, the governor of Longyou, and the son of Deng Zhi.
Although the winter in Jincheng is not as cold as Longyou, it has an extra chill.
Deng Liang spends half of every month here - it is much warmer than at home.
The fire was burning brightly in the fireplace, making the house very warm.
The door was pushed open, and a dark figure rushed in wrapped in a cold wind.
caused the fire in the fireplace to sway.
The visitor didn’t even have time to take a breath and shouted loudly, “Weizhe, great news!”
“Close the door first.” Deng Liang, who was half lying on the plush sofa, only wearing single clothes, shivered when the cold wind outside blew him.
Xu Xun turned around and closed the door. He didn't even have time to take off his thick down jacket. He came close to Deng Liang and said excitedly, "News from Longyou!"
Upon hearing this, Deng Liang quickly put down the book in his hand, turned over and sat upright and asked, "Brother, what news has come again?"
“Not an elder brother, no, he is still considered an elder brother.”
Xu Xun said somewhat incoherently.
Deng Liang poured him a cup of hot water, "I estimated that you would have three days to return to Jincheng, but I didn't expect you would arrive today."
"It seems that I am in a hurry and can't even speak clearly. Drink some water first and speak slowly."
Xu Xun continued regardless, "Of course I'm anxious, my sister-in-law is happy!"
“Sister-in-law? Which sister-in-law?”
Deng Liang didn't react for a moment. When he saw Xu Xun's uncontrollably excited expression, his heart moved and he looked at Xu Xun in disbelief.
“Of course it’s Feng Guanshi!”
Hearing Xu Xun say these three words, Deng Liang was shocked and blurted out, "Seriously?!"
"Of course it's true! When I left Nanxiang, Mrs. Mu had already entrusted all the matters in Nanxiang to the Zhang family's young lady, and she personally took the people and rushed to Longyou."
"I got the news from Madam Mu, can it be false?"
Deng Liang confirmed the news and almost knocked over the hot water on the table. He couldn't help but stand up, "Great! Now everyone can finally feel at ease."
In the dispute between the two daughters of Guan and Zhang, the daughter of the Guan family, who represented the interests of the powerful, won and married her elder brother.
In the past two years, the Prime Minister has delegated power to His Majesty and asked His Majesty to learn how to handle government affairs. This is a normal thing and a matter of course.
But once these two things are related to the Zhang family's young lady, everyone always feels a little uneasy.
After the elder brother marries the daughter of the Guan family, it would be good if he breaks off the relationship with the daughter of the Zhang family.
Those who are brothers themselves are not willing to sacrifice, marry the Zhang family's little lady, and suffer.
But it seems that the elder brother has always been entangled with the Zhang family's young lady.
Moreover, Guan's daughter looked like she hadn't seen her, which made everyone really anxious.
Where is the promised tiger girl? Hold him!
So what does Xian Shu do?
Sister-in-law, you are the one who broke my younger brother’s thigh after all. If you show a little bit of your courage, will your brother still dare to mess around?
I just wanted to think about it, but looking at the complicated relationship between the two daughters Guan and Zhang and their brother, the younger brother didn’t dare to say anything or ask.
It's okay now. Feng Guan is pregnant with her brother's eldest son. Now everything is stable and everything is stable.
