Chapter 664 Mutiny
Xie Jue was the best-performing among the boys, so he got an opportunity to go shopping with the general manager. Because two men in the kitchen were taking a break due to illness, the general manager chose two boys to accompany him, and Xie Jue was one of them. one.

This was the first time Xie Jue could see Fox City clearly. It was dark when he entered the city that day, so he couldn't see clearly. The land of the Northern Barbarians was very vast, with a population of just over a million. There were only two big cities in total, and they were ethnic groups living in groups. Due to the bad weather, few tribesmen live in desolate places, which are prone to accidents and difficult to rescue. Therefore, the Northern Barbarians are a group that lives in groups and are very united.

Therefore, Fox City is very large and is more solidly built than Kyoto. The ground is all bluestone roads without any potholes. After the summer in Beiman, the weather has turned downhill. It is very cold and there is already heavy snowfall. It is almost invisible to Beiman. to fresh vegetables.In autumn and winter, the Northern Barbarians mainly eat beef and mutton, their cattle and sheep, and most of the cattle and sheep are grazed in Qianling Town.It is almost impossible to plant anything around Fox City in winter, so the Northern Barbarians are quite short of supplies in winter.

Moreover, most of the food of the Northern Barbarians was provided to the troops fighting on the front lines. The people in the rear tightened their belts in autumn and winter. During the period when Xie Jue came to the Northern Barbarians, he only ate yellow noodles and meat, which made him lose his appetite. .In Beining, meat may be the food of wealth and rich families, but in Beiman, meat is the most common food, and fruits and vegetables are extremely precious.Some people go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, fruits and vegetables that grow in winter, and sell them at sky-high prices in the market.

Xie Jue carefully observed the lives of the people in Fox City. Their living habits were similar to those in Ningzhou, except that the Northern Barbarians, regardless of gender, were very tall and strong. It was rare to see Beining women as petite and exquisite as this, unless they were girls.

After they followed the manager to the market to purchase a batch of fresh fruits and vegetables, they suddenly saw a group of northern barbarian men coming out of a restaurant. Although one of the northern barbarian men was tall, he coughed frequently. The leading northern barbarian man frowned. He was tall and strong, and he patted his shoulder and said, "Sixth brother, if you are not in good health, please don't blow the wind. Take good care of him in your house. If you catch the cold, my father will blame me, but I can't afford it."

The man next to him burst into laughter. The coughing man seemed to be coughing out his lungs. After taking a few bites of the cold wind, he felt even more uncomfortable. However, he still smiled, "Second brother, third brother is laughing. My brother is like this." Your body is really afraid of the cold, so I won’t send you brothers."

"Sixth brother, please go back. Second brother will send a batch of wild ginseng to your house the next day. People in Yanyang say that wild ginseng strengthens the body. Our wild ginseng can be eaten as snacks, so you must take good care of it!"

"Thank you, second brother, for taking the trouble. I'll take note of it."

The man coughed and was helped into the carriage. Xie Jue saw the mark on the carriage and knew his identity. The sixth prince of the Northern Barbarians was the son of the third princess. Next to him should be the second prince and the third prince, who were the sons of the first princess.

The sons of the Northern Barbarian King all took turns to go to the battlefield. The second and third princes also went to the battlefield, but they never faced Xie Jue head-on. They were said to be brave and good at fighting. Now it is the eldest prince who fights with the Northern Barbarian King on the battlefield. The second prince He and the third prince managed Fox City from the rear, ensuring supplies to the front line, and had a clear division of labor.

The eldest prince is as brave and good at fighting as the Northern Barbarian King. He is the hero of the Northern Barbarians and the recognized successor to the Northern Barbarian King.Xie Jue heard from the manager about the heroic deeds of the eldest prince. Many ordinary people in the northern barbarians admired the eldest prince very much. He was also the most popular among the princes.

Xie Jue is a very patient hunter. He is not in a hurry to express himself, and he is not stupid enough to deliberately appear in front of the princes. He just silently remembers the faces and temperaments of the princes.The manager and the mother-in-law were very satisfied with Xie Jue's obedience. Xie Jue was the best-paid among the boys, so when they were assigned, he was chosen to be the sixth prince with the best temper, and he became the sixth prince's son. servant.

When the third princess gave birth to the sixth prince Dugu, the ninth prince Dugu Jing, the sixth princess Dugu Hongying and the thirteenth princess were still young.The sixth prince is 23 years old this year and already has a princess and children. The ninth prince, Dugu Jing, is still training in the army and has not yet made a mark.

On the tenth day when Xie Jue entered the Sixth Prince's residence to serve, a cup of hot tea accidentally poured on Dugu Shi. Before Dugu Shi could say anything, the princess was furious and ordered Xie Jue to be punished by kneeling in the snow for an hour.

In the ice and snow, Xie Jue knelt quietly, with waves of heartbreaking pain coming from his knees. The northern barbarians treated the servants from Qianling Town like slaves, beating and scolding them at will when they made mistakes, and did not care about their life or death.It happened that the second king and the third king came to the sixth king to discuss the recent preparations for military rations. When they saw Xie Jue kneeling in the snow, Xie Jue raised his eyes and looked at the second king for a moment, then hurriedly looked away.

The second and third kings didn't take this to heart, and didn't even care about a slave being punished to kneel. When a guest came to visit, Xie Jue avoided being punished by kneeling. When he returned to the servant's room, his knees were numb.He held a hot towel and applied it to his knees, thinking thoughtfully. He had deliberately kneeled down as a punishment today. A few days ago, the second king came to the house and saw him being scolded by the princess. At that time, he even said "sixth brother" lightly. The rules in the house are really strict.

He deliberately exposed himself in front of the two kings because Xie Jue had already chosen a target during the time he came to the northern barbarians. He wanted to go to the second king's palace and become his adviser.The reason why he didn't choose the Sixth King was because Xie Jue felt that the Sixth King's palace was deep and difficult to control. The Sixth King's palace seemed to have a strong princess, while the Sixth King was sick and weak and did not eat fireworks. However, Xie Jue observed carefully and found that the Sixth King's palace seemed to be powerful. Not moving like a mountain, but actually sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and tigers. Nowadays, the struggle between the eldest prince, second prince and third prince of the Northern Barbarian King is more serious.

The Six Kings are the strength that both sides can win over. If Xie Jue wants to divide the Northern Barbarians, he cannot stay in the Sixth Prince's Mansion. He must either go to the Second Prince's Mansion or the Great Prince's Mansion. The Eldest Prince fights all year round and lacks defense in the rear, which is not suitable for Xie Jue.He still needs to borrow strength, and the six kings are difficult to control. If he wants to sincerely assist the prince, he may choose the six kings. If he is not sincere, then there is no need to stay in the palace.

Xie Jue's opportunity came soon.

The Northern Barbarians and Ningzhou have been at war for so many years, and both sides have many prisoners of war. The Northern Barbarians took the prisoners of war from the Ningzhou Cavalry to the mines for mining, and tortured them. Most of the prisoners of war would die in the mines, and some of the soldiers could not stand the hunger and cold in the mines. Forced and beaten, they surrendered to the Northern Barbarians, but the Northern Barbarians did not believe in the surrender of the prisoners of war unless the prisoners of war provided useful information.

Xie Jue overheard the second king and the sixth king talking about a prisoner of war in the mine who surrendered and was willing to provide the border defense map of the Ningzhou Cavalry. Xie Jue knew who had rebelled as soon as he heard that the border defense map was required.
