Jinyi Night Walk

Ying Zhan said: "It's Duke Fu of the Ming Dynasty, Miao Yi, what's wrong with you?"

When Miao Yi heard this, she immediately let go of her heart, Fu Guogong?How could that unscrupulous prodigal son in Qingzhou become the Duke of Ming Dynasty? She must have the same name and surname. The color returned to her face, and she smiled and said, "Ah! It's nothing. I remember that in my hometown, there was a neighbor named Yang Xu's, I was shocked when I heard you say it!"

Ying Zhan couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "My lady must have been away from my hometown for a long time, and I miss my homeland. I remember my lady said that she has lived in Daming Mansion, Hebei for generations, right? Hehe, this Fuguo Gong Yang Xu lived in Qingzhou Mansion, Shandong Province as a child. Woolen cloth."

Miaoyi's complexion changed again, her voice trembled uncontrollably: "Shan... Shandong Qingzhou Mansion!"

"What's the matter, lady?"

"Oh, it's okay. I wanted to sleep at first, but my clothes are a little thinner. I've been talking to you for a while, and I feel a little cold!"

Miao Yi quickly stood up, walked to the corner, carried a few pieces of animal charcoal and put them into the stove, before she straightened up, a shirt was already on her body, Ying Zhan said with concern: "Lady, put on the clothes first, or go to bed Cover the quilt and talk!"

Miao Yi tightened her clothes, shook her head and said: "It's okay, it will be much warmer, you continue to talk."

"it is good!"

Ying Zhan didn't have any doubts about his wife's strangeness. He accompanied Miao Yi back to the table, sat down both of them, thought for a while, and then said: "As for the life of this Fu Guogong, I heard that he came with him." The commander of the Beijing camp, Master Sai Hazhi, said that this Yang Xu is a capable man. Now when the emperor was still the king of Yan, no one looked up to him, and all the scholars called him a traitor.

Hey!This Yang Xu is a scholar from Qingzhou. He had a bright future, but he just fell in love with this King Yan who seemed to be crushed by the imperial army. He not only voted for King Yan, but also sneaked into Jinling to rescue the hostage The three princes, oh, it is said that he was originally from Jiangnan, and he came to Qingzhou because his father was in business, and he is one of the richest families in Qingzhou..."

Miaoyi's face was white when she heard it, her whole body was icy cold, her heart was beating wildly like a frightened little animal, at this point, she had no doubts, it was him!It was really him!That shameless person, that bastard who toyed with their mother and child, and ruined their family, actually... actually haunts him!She has already hid in Dunhuang, fled to the horizon, why does this pain and humiliation still follow her?

Fortunately, Ying Zhan was thinking about it and didn't notice the change in her expression. She took a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down.

Ying Zhan pondered and said: "He is the Duke of Ming Dynasty, so naturally he won't talk nonsense. He said that Ming Dynasty will never abandon the Western Regions, and should not pretend to be invincible in the West, but he knows that he will go to the East. However, the Ming court was still at war with Annan and the Tatars at the same time. It seems that the Ming court did not regard Timur as an unstoppable enemy!

Their strategy did not have any considerations after the fall of Hexi. Based on what I saw in Gansu Town, the Ming court should have this kind of consideration. It seems that the Ming court has great control over the defense of Jiayuguan.Tie Mu'er came all the way from thousands of miles away. If he can't conquer Jiayuguan and persist with Daming for a long time, then the Ming court must win in the end.Miao Yi, this is where I am in trouble.

Ming Ting, don't rebel, otherwise we will be at a disadvantage once Tie Mu'er leaves!But once Timur comes, with our strength, how can we compete with him?Now I am not sure whether to abandon my homeland and temporarily retreat into the customs to accept Daming's protection, or wait until Tie Mu'er arrives and make false claims with him in order to protect myself. "

Miaoyi's heart was in a mess, she was afraid and ashamed, all kinds of girls that had been sealed deep in her memory all came to mind at this moment, and she was in a trance for a while, so she couldn't catch a word.

Ying Zhan is still analyzing: "It would be easy to retreat into Jiayuguan. Chieftain Shenglong also mentioned that he invited us to visit the foot of Tanggula Mountain, but in this way, we can only take away the floating wealth, and the family business will suffer huge losses. If they stay, I don't know what step the people who stick to the wood will do, and whether they will treat each other generously because of the face of the same clan and teachers.

Miao Yi, I originally planned to go to Bie Shibali to find out the news from Tie Muer's side and pave the way in advance, but now it's really difficult, if I make a wrong step, I will never recover, it's difficult!Difficult! "

Ying Zhan actually didn't want Miaoyi to help him make up his mind, but when he had some difficult thoughts, he liked to chat with his favorite woman. His expression had returned to normal, and Ying Zhan chatted for a while, then left her room and spent the night at the residence of his first wife.

After Ying Zhan left, Miao Yi's heart felt like boiling, and it was difficult to fall asleep again.The humiliation that made her feel so ashamed that she wanted to commit suicide, after so many years, the trauma has gradually healed, and now she has a husband who loves her, and has given birth to two sons for her husband, as a wife and mother, She is very happy.She thought that she could bid farewell to her ridiculous past and live peacefully in this desert oasis for the rest of her life, but when she suddenly heard Yang Xu's name and knew that he was here, her heart could no longer calm down.

Miao Yi changed out of her nightgown, put on warm cold clothes, a fox fur and crane cloak, a Zhaojun lying rabbit warm suit on her head, and a sable wind collar around her head, she looked like a graceful and noble young woman from a wealthy family.She walked out of the room in a steady manner, two maids rushed up to greet her in the outer room, Miao Yi only waved her hand lightly, and they bowed and retreated.

Miao Yi walked down the corridor, looked up at the bright stars in the sky, stared for a long time, and then walked along the left corridor.

After passing through several gates, Miao Yi quietly stopped in front of the pavilion of a single courtyard, and the lamp hanging under the corridor reflected her figure.The wind blows the lamp, and the lamp shakes her head, causing her to float back and forth on the snow, and there are crisp sounds of wooden fish in the wind.

Miaoyi stretched out her hand to knock on the door, but there was a loud sound of copper, which immediately cleared her altar: "Why did you come here, what did you say to your mother? She has already... cleared the ancient Buddha lamp, why bother?" To disturb her peace?"

Standing silently for a long time, Miao Yi sighed quietly, turned around and walked along the way, stepping on a clear ground, and accompanied by the sound of "箜箜" wooden fish, there seemed to be a sense of being out of the world...

"Hurry up, hurry up, what's the matter if you don't eat tools? If it weren't for the fact that you are both strong and healthy, and your situation is pitiful, I wouldn't be bothered to use you, working so slowly!"

A big man with curly beard cursed and directed the hired workers to load the cars.

This is the caravan of the Zhang family in Shazhou. The owner is Zhang Buyu. It is said that the ancestors are descendants of Zhang Yichao, the hero of the Shazhou Uprising at the end of Tang Dynasty. In Hexi, although the Zhang family is now in decline, the Zhang family is still a big family with considerable power in Shazhou.

The hired workers are carrying silk, tea, porcelain and iron.These tools sound light and handy, but because they need to be shipped remotely, in order to save space and make the bundles stronger, these commodities are bundled into large packages as much as possible. The silk is soft and soft, but dozens of silks are tightly bundled into a ball. That is an extremely heavy burden.Porcelain products should be placed in tea boxes, and tea leaves should be used to fill the inside and outside of the porcelain to prevent collisions. Such boxes are very heavy, and they must be handled with care, which is not a labor-saving task.

On a very cold day, the workers who moved tools were already sweating profusely.

It took a long time for more than a dozen carts of tools to be installed, and the workers stepped back to rest.A tired and sweaty Han Ke staggered to the side, sat down on the snow, panting heavily.He was wearing a bulky winter gown, and his trousers were patched together from leftovers of sand wolf fur, dog skin, and sheepskin. It was ugly, but it was very warm. Sitting on the snow, the cold air could not pass through for a moment.

At this time, one of the other group of loaders staggered closer, sat down beside him, and said in a low voice, "Lord Qianhu, I'll watch..."

The man who was panting gave him a hard look, and his heart froze, he quickly changed his greeting, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Hu, are you tired?"

The man who was panting grunted and ignored him, still cursing Xia Xun in his heart for making him suffer so much.

This person is called Hu Qiqi now. Not long ago he was called Yu Jian. He was the youngest in Badajin Town, Jinyiwei North Town. After arriving at Jiayuguan, in order to conceal their identities, they changed their names, claiming that they were Chinese travelers who went out to seek a living. After all the hard work, they finally got in touch with the Zhang family and became their servants.

The person who sat next to him was also Jin Yiwei, because he was just an ordinary school captain with a low reputation, so he still used his real name——Deng Di.

He sat next to Yu Jian, and the two of them babbled for a long time before lowering their voices: "I think there is something wrong with that Tuoba Mingde!"

Tuoba Mingde was another businessman from Bieshabali. This area was originally a distribution center for all major merchants to load and sell their goods. Therefore, it is not surprising that many merchants and their employees are concentrated here.

Yu Jian took off his hat, wiped the sweat from his brow, put it back on quickly, and asked in a low voice, "Oh, why do you know that?"

Deng Di whispered: "We've been wandering around here for a while now. Foreign merchants like to inquire about business matters, where the price of horses is high, where the price of fur is fair, where silk brocade is cheap, and where the price of tea and salt utensils is high. Lian, otherwise it is just to ask where the food and drink are delicious, where the kiln sisters are coquettish, but this Tuoba Mingde likes to ask about military affairs."

Yu Jian looked around vigilantly, wary of anyone approaching, and continued to listen to him. Deng Di said, "He just came from Bieshabali. He didn't catch up with the Duke Fu entering the city, so he pretended to be interested in the ceremonies of the Duke. , Ask people how many people Fu Guogong brought, what kind of weapons and equipment they have, which rich families are powerful on the sandbar, their own cavalry is relatively strong, and so on..."

Yu Jian listened, and stared at Tuoba Mingde, a businessman not far away who was kindly chatting and joking with a few managers. If this person is really Tie Muer's spy...

A strange light suddenly flashed in Yu Jian's eyes!
