Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 227 Youshu Wanyan 2
  Jie Hui hurriedly handed over his hands and thanked him, saying: "It's a small skill, not worth mentioning."

Jia Cong stroked the tiger's head, praised him repeatedly, and said with a smile: "They all have nicknames, Lei Tai is 'Rolling Thunder Knife', Kongxing is 'Killing Monk', Wang Fei is 'Flying Monkey', and Fan Ming is ' You're a fool. Xie Hui, do you have a nickname?"

Everyone laughed.

Jie Hui shook his head and said: "There will be no final general."

Jia Cong said: "Then I have to get one for you, otherwise it won't be prestigious if you tell me. Well, just call me 'Elven Prince'."

Everyone wondered: "Elf Prince, what do you mean?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "You don't know that in the far west, thousands of miles away, in the barbarian country, there is a kind of legendary creature. It is immortal, has a beautiful figure, handsome men and pretty women, and lives among the green trees and ridges. .

Proficient in archery, martial arts, and maneuvering, among them, the prince is naturally more outstanding. What do you think of this nickname? "

Everyone said: "It's wonderful! It's so appropriate."

Xie Hui was stunned and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "How can the general be worthy of such praise from the adults? It is absolutely inappropriate. If you say it, it will make people laugh."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't refuse, let's listen to the public opinion first."

Everyone nodded in praise.

Jie Hui had no choice but to accept this rather foreign nickname, and he was very happy in his heart. Jia Cong personally gave him the nickname, which was considered a great honor.

The sergeants had just cut down the branches, set up a sledge, lifted up the corpse of the big insect, and tied it behind the horse, when they suddenly heard several faint roars of beasts coming from deep in the forest.

"It's a bear!" Jie Hui listened intently and said flatly.

Jia Cong was overjoyed: "Hurry! Follow the sound and go in!" If we can kill this bear, it will definitely be a great harvest.

Jie Hui led the way, and everyone hurried in.

Turning around a mountain col, I saw a small pool with a radius of more than ten feet. In the open space beside the pool, six or seven people were wearing white narrow-sleeved coarse cloth collared robes and pointed boots. Their foreheads and temples were slightly shaved, and their heads were slightly shaved. The barbarians, who had their hair styled into two braids and hung over their shoulders and down their backs, were fighting around a giant bear.

There were two people lying on the ground next to them, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

"This is..." Jia Cong's eyes lit up.

"Exactly." Su Can nodded.

The brown bear was more than ten feet long and extremely strong, probably weighing more than a thousand kilograms. It was howling and biting everywhere.

The Jurchens are quite tough and have rich hunting experience. From time to time they use rough spears to leave scars on the brown bears.

The giant bear had rough skin and thick flesh, so it didn't take this little skin injury seriously at all. It waved its paw, and three spears broke with a crack, and then slapped another person, sending one person flying far away, and he fell to the ground with a thud. In the pool.

"Save people!" Jia Cong said.

Then two soldiers who were familiar with water dismounted, jumped down and fished the man up.

Suddenly, he saw a petite Jurchen girl nearby. She put her fingers to her lips and let out a whistle. A white dot in the sky quickly enlarged. It turned out to be a handsome and fierce white falcon. It swooped down at the brown bear's head and penetrated the gold and cracked stone. Catch it hard with its sharp claws!

Ouch! The brown bear let out an earth-shattering roar, one of its eyeballs was scratched open, and blood flowed profusely. He clapped his hands and danced wildly.

The eagle was very alert and had already spread its wings and soared high.

The Jurchen men hurriedly expanded the encirclement, fearing that they would be slapped to death.

"What a good eagle, what a good eagle!" Jia Cong couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised. This is the innate skill of the Jurchens. Fengtian City has never seen such a good eagle.

"You Han people just watch the fun and don't help?!" The girl glared at Jia Cong and scolded loudly in Mandarin with a slight accent.

When everyone saw her cute and cute look, they didn't feel dissatisfied, but couldn't help laughing.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "It turns out that the girl can speak Chinese. Since the girl has a destiny, I must obey it." He pointed with his hand.

Jie Hui had already held a three-stone strong bow in his hand. The bowstring was clanging, and an arrow penetrated the brown bear's other eye until it was featherless.

The brown bear's sudden lunge stopped suddenly, and it fell to the ground. Its huge body slid out of the ground and stopped at the feet of a group of Jurchens.

All the female true men were shocked by such a magical arrow. They all raised their thumbs, looked at Jie Hui, and babbled, as if to express their admiration and admiration.

Xie Hui returned the gift with his hands in hand.

Jia Cong turned over and dismounted, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "What do you call me, a hero of the Jurchen tribe?"

The Jurchens seemed to be able to understand some Chinese, nodded, and looked at the girl again.

The girl looked Jia Cong up and down and said, "We are the Blackwater Jurchens of the Qilimi tribe. Who are you?"

Jia Cong said: "We are Han people from Liaohaiwei, and we are going out hunting today. You can call me Jia Zilong, but what do you call me?"

Since we were going out hunting today, everyone was wearing casual clothes and no armor, so they were not afraid of having their identities revealed.

The girl was quite vigilant and said: "My name is Wan Yanshan. First of all, we have beaten this blind bear. If you help me, I can share some of your meat."

Everyone laughed.

All the Jurchens gathered around the girl, looking at everyone with wary expressions.

Only then did Jia Cong have time to take a closer look at the girl. He saw that she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a collar like a caterpillar and teeth like a rhinoceros. She was actually a stunning beauty.

Her hair was tied into braids, she wore a corolla made of leaves and grass, and a string of large round pearl necklaces hung around her neck, the size of each pearl, shiny and translucent.

He was wearing a white muslin short robe with narrow sleeves and trousers of the same color. Half a piece of fur was draped diagonally on his shoulders, exposing his lovely navel and a circle of snow-white skin. He was wearing red deerskin pointed-toed boots. A small bow and arrow hung on his waist, exuding a unique wild charm.

"Don't be nervous, I only want one bear bile, and the rest is yours, how about it?" Jia Cong waved his hand and said with a smile.

Wanyanshan breathed a sigh of relief and Jili Gulu translated for the tribe.

The real women nodded, showed a kind smile to Jia Cong, and hurriedly went to treat their injured companions.

"Go and help them." Jia Cong waved his hand.

The accompanying military doctors rushed over and helped the injured three people clean their wounds, apply medicine to stop the bleeding, and fix the broken bones.

The Jurchens only knew crude methods and simple herbal medicines, so they had no choice but to do odd jobs on the side. They watched the Han doctors use their superb techniques and magical powder to quickly treat the injuries of the tribesmen, and thanked them one after another.

Wanyanshan said: "Thank you, you are a good man, Jia... Jia..."

"If you don't mind, just call me Brother Jia." Jia Cong estimated that he was younger than her, but it was obviously impossible for him to be "Brother Jia"

Wanyanshan smiled heartily: "Brother Jia."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Why do you say I am a good man? Have you ever met a bad man?"

Wan Yanshan nodded: "There are many cunning and despicable villains among the Han people who just want to deceive us Jurchens with a little worthless things."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "In the future, if you have saved a lot of mountain products, you can come to Liaohai Acropolis to sell them. You only need to pay 10% of the commercial tax. I guarantee that no bad guys will cheat you."

"Really?" Wanyanshan said doubtfully.

"That's natural. Do you think I look like a liar?" Jia Cong said.

Wan Yanshan shook her head and said, "Brother Jia doesn't look like a liar."

"You've been busy for so long, let's eat first." Jia Cong waved when he saw that the Jurchens had taken out their daggers to wash, skin and dismantle the brown bears on the spot.

The soldiers hurriedly untied the pots and pans from their horses and began to fetch water from the stove for cooking.

"Sister Wanyan, let me treat you to tiger meat, freshly beaten." Jia Cong pointed to the back of the team.

Wan Yanshan ran to take a look, her eyes were full of stars, and she said with admiration: "Brother Jia, you are really amazing. Your shooting skills are much better than those of us Jurchens."

Jia Cong laughed, how could the 'Elf Prince's' shooting skills be easy?

A fat cook next to him stuck his butt out and opened a large backpack. Inside, there were chopping boards, kitchen knives, spoons, bottles and jars, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc., and he was busy working at a stove.

"Lao Tu, what are you going to eat today? I have to entertain guests, so don't embarrass me." Jia Cong said with a smile.

The fat cook said: "Don't worry, young master, today I'll eat braised tiger meat and wind radish, braised tiger brains and scallops, stir-fried tiger liver with wild vegetables, and stewed tiger tendon and tiger bone soup. I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

He is from Sichuan and is good at all major cuisines. He occasionally speaks a few dialects and tells the soldiers to go around picking wild vegetables, wild onions and wild fruits.

Jia Cong nodded and smiled: "What do you think, Sister Wanyan?"

This cook was discovered by him at Shifang Temple Castle that day. He was originally a criminal. Jia Cong saw that his cooking skills were quite good, especially Sichuan cuisine, which was spicy and fragrant. cook.

Wanyanshan quietly swallowed her saliva and whispered: "Brother Jia, you bring a cook with you when you go hunting? You also bring these Lao Shi Guzi (pointing to the pots, pans, teapots and teacups on the ground). Isn't it common for Han people to do so?" Are you talking about a wealthy family?"

Jia Cong laughed, raised his thumb and said, "Sister Wanyan, you really have extraordinary eyesight, you have seen through all this."

Wanyanshan was not stupid, she heard his teasing intention, made a face and said angrily: "Brother Jia, don't be ridiculous, I have already seen that you are not a mortal."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details. Are the clothes I'm wearing good?"

Wan Yanshan didn't recognize the material on Jia Cong's body. She shook her head and said, "The horse you ride is so majestic, there is not even one among ten thousand. We Jurchens can tell a good horse and a bad horse at a glance."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "I see. If you like it, come to Liaohaiwei another day and I will give you a horse. How about that?"

"Really?" Wan Yanshan's eyes lit up.

Jia Cong nodded: "A gentleman's words are followed by a whip."

"But I don't know the way, how can I find you?" Wan Yanshan pouted her mouth slightly.

Jia Cong smiled slightly, pulled out an arrow, handed it to her, and said: "Take this, go to Liaohai Guard City, find any literate patrol officer, show this to him, and tell him to find Jia Zilong." , they will bring you to see me."

Wanyanshan looked at the arrow carefully and saw a word engraved on the arrow shaft, but she didn't recognize it.

"Is Brother Jia so famous?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Brother is quite thin-faced in Liaohaiwei. If anyone dares to bully you, you can also use it to scare him. As long as the other person knows the words, it should be easy to use."

"Okay! Thank you, brother." Wanyanshan happily inserted the arrow into her quiver and patted it gently.

He tilted his head and thought for a while, then reached out and untied a small cow bone whistle from his waist, handed it to Jia Cong and said: "Brother Jia, if you encounter any of my people when you go into the mountains in the future, show them this and they won't get up." Misunderstood."

Jia Cong took it with a smile and said, "Can I come to play with you with it?"

Wan Yanshan's face turned slightly red, and she nodded slightly, "Of course."

"Then I have to put it away." Jia Cong said and put the whistle into the bag. His heart moved slightly. This girl seemed to have an unusual status. He smiled and said, "Are you so famous in the clan?"

Wan Yanshan didn't have as many twists and turns as he did. She smiled and said, "My father is the clan leader, so everyone in the clan knows my things."

Jia Cong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't find it after wearing his iron shoes. It took no effort to get it, so he raised his hand and said with a smile: "It turns out that it was the patriarch's lady who was disrespectful and disrespectful in front of her."

Wanyanshan said in shock: "We Jurchens don't have as many rules as you Han people."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "I don't like rules either. You just treat me as a Jurchen. By the way, I heard that the Tatars always bully you Jurchens. Is it true?"

Wan Yanshan nodded and said angrily: "Not only the Tatars, but also the Shengnuzhen, rob us from time to time, which is really abominable."

"It's okay for them to be Tatars. If I have a daughter, I'm of the same race as you. Why are you still killing each other?"

"Bah, having a girl is really not the same race as ours. We are humans. They are almost like wild beasts. They even eat people when they are very hungry." Wan Yanshan said.

Jia Cong nodded and said, "I've heard it a long time ago. Tatars and women are really cruel and not good people.

I know a few friends in the military in Liaohaiwei. If you need high-quality swords, guns, bows and arrows or other weapons, feel free to exchange them for furs, mountain products, horses, cattle and sheep. We will exchange them for you at the lowest price. How about it? "

Wan Yanshan clapped her hands and said, "Can we really change weapons? In the past, the Han people would not change them to us."

Jia Cong transformed into an arms dealer, nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Jia says it's okay. If you need it, just come and exchange it. I guarantee it's fair."

"Well, I'll tell dad when I get back." Wanyanshan said happily.

"However, we have to make an agreement. After the weapons are given to you, you are not allowed to attack us Han people. You are only allowed to attack those who bully you. How about that?" Jia Cong said with a smile.

"That's natural. Brother Jia is our friend. We Jurchens have always treated our friends with care..." Wan Yanshan forgot her words for a moment and felt a little embarrassed.

"Be honest and sincere."

"Yes, yes, that's the word. It's so difficult for you to learn Chinese." Wan Yanshan stuck out her tongue.

Su Can and others looked at each other and smiled. You deserve to be a member of the makeup team of a wealthy family. You can deal with this little girl with ease.
