Horse on the World

Chapter 200 Betrayal
After lunch at Peach Blossom House, Li Qing set off on his way back. When he walked out, when he looked back, Jiyue was still standing at the door of Peach Blossom House, staring at the door in a daze. The thin figure was extremely petite, and she couldn't help feeling a little pain in her heart, and waved her hand to signal her to go back quickly.

"Marshal, it's been a long time since I saw you so relaxed?" Tang Hu rode his horse to Li Qing's side and said with a smile.

Nodding, Li Qing smiled and said: "Yes, in front of Jiyue, I seem to have returned to my innocent childhood, unrestrained and free, and I just feel that there is nothing in the world that can bother me. , long time no see."

"Well, Miss Jiyue is really cute." Tang Hu nodded in agreement, "Two people are completely different from Director Qingfeng. Director Qingfeng is so powerful, and Miss Jiyue is very gentle." Tang Hu expressed his disapproval on his own The feelings of the two sisters did not notice that Li Qing's face darkened, until a guard behind him couldn't stand it anymore, and secretly stabbed Tang Hu's horse with the tip of his saber. About to run vigorously, Tang Hu, who was startled, reined in the horse's reins, and then stopped talking.

Although Tang Hu has no eyesight and no scheming, what he said is true. The current Qingfeng makes Li Qing feel very stressed. Sometimes Li Qing can't even figure out whether Qingfeng is his woman or his comrade-in-arms , subordinate, only during certain moments when the two of them were alone, Qingfeng would reveal her original daughter's character, that shyness and tenderness could remind Li Qing of the original joy and relaxation.Most of the time, Qingfeng is more like a sharp knife out of its sheath, with a cold light shining all over the place, looking at everyone except Li Qing with vigilant eyes, which makes Li Qing quite regret that he handed over the Statistics and Investigation Department to Qingfeng to run it, but At that time, he never imagined that Qingfeng could bring the Statistics and Investigation Department to its current scale. If Qingfeng is taken down now, then the Statistics and Investigation Department, which has just demonstrated the power of intelligence gathering, instigating rebellion, and some special operations, will be greatly damaged. Let Li Qing at this stage absolutely cannot bear it, and it is also unbearable for the Dingzhou faction that has just shown signs of rising, so even if Shang Haibo is so vigilant and wary of Qingfeng, he keeps restricting Qingfeng in Dingzhou However, he has never mentioned to himself the idea of ​​replacing Qingfeng, because everyone knows that a strong Qingfeng is a double-edged sword, powerful internally, and even more terrifying externally.

Maybe after he reaches a certain height, let Qingfeng go home obediently and become a little girl, Li Qing thought so, but when the time comes, is Qingfeng willing?Li Qing let this question lie in the deepest part of his heart, unwilling to touch him easily.

A group of people rushed back to Dingzhou City on flying horses, and it was almost New Year's Eve. The atmosphere of the New Year's Eve had begun in the city, and there were obviously more vendors. Compared with previous years, Dingzhou City, without the threat of barbarians, became more prosperous.

"Let's celebrate the new year happily!" Li Qing said loudly, "Huzi, let's go home!"

People in Dingzhou are preparing for an unprecedented safe and prosperous new year, but on the grassland, the coming Mulan Festival seems weird.

The Mulan Festival of the barbarians is just like the year of Dachu. It is a grand festival every year. On this day every year, all the grassland people will put down their work and celebrate it. They are all concentrated on the days before and after the Mulan Festival, but this year, the atmosphere on the grassland is extremely weird. All the tribes have no intention of celebrating the festival at all. Incessantly, the leaders of various ministries gathered frequently, and there was only one topic of discussion, and that was the proposal initiated by the Bai people to unify the grasslands into one empire.

The power of the Bai tribe is above all the tribes in the grassland. Any army that runs like a wolf and roars like a dragon can roar across the grassland and sweep away other tribes. The proposal of the Bai tribe simply tells everyone clearly that Bayar is going to be the emperor.

There is nothing wrong with the small tribes, anyway, they are always attached to the big tribes in order to survive, and the bigger tribes are of course unwilling to form a loose alliance into a centralized empire, so that the privileges in their hands will be reduced. Losing a large part, more importantly, after the establishment of the empire, can they still hold the military power of the tribe, and this is what the leaders of these tribes regard as their lifeblood.On the prairie, strength is king. When a tribal leader has no army, what else can he have left? If there is any disturbance, he may end up dead.

Han Ningqi, the leader of the Qing Department, and Dai Shan, the leader of the Red Department, both looked gloomy. Han Ningqi was the most powerful person to threaten Bayar, but unfortunately, under the repeated blows of Dingzhou, The Qingbu was repeatedly hit hard, and the elite of the tribe went to four or five. At this time, he had no idea of ​​replacing Bayar. He was more concerned about how to protect himself. Although the Qingbu suffered a great loss, But on the grassland, it is still a tribe second only to the Bai tribe. Haningqi himself knows that he must be a thorn in Bayar's side, a thorn in his flesh, so even if he succumbed to his feet now, Bayar would not Will rest assured.The Prairie Empire was established, and one day in the future, he would become the No. 1 sacrificed by Bayar to maintain the rule of the Bai people.

Now Haningqi finally understands the reason why Bayar actually handed over the power to lead the grassland attack on Dingzhou to himself when Wanyan Bulu failed and the strength of the Bai people had not been fundamentally hit. No matter whether he wins or loses, he is happy to see his success.

Unexpectedly, Bayar is so sure that he is not Li Qing's opponent. If he wins, Bayar will probably not bring up the issue of the grassland empire now. Haningqi smiled bitterly, knowing now is of no use.Perhaps fleeing far away is a life-saving strategy.

Daishan is also a member of the powerful faction that opposes the founding of the country. In the Yi'an battle, the elite of the Red Army was defeated, and the small tribes attached to him were beaten to pieces. Today, he can only unite The Qingbu, use the banner of the Qingbu to oppose the founding of the grassland, the five grasslands, the Huangbu is a staunch ally of the Whitebug, and the bluebug Suge is vacillating, and he has firmly established his position as a grassland. Now he can only say Move the green department to take the lead, and then unite with the blue department to have the strength to compete with the white and yellow departments.

"Haningqi, don't even think about it. You have always been against Bayar. To put it bluntly, you are a thorn in Bayar's side. If Bayar is really allowed to sit in this seat, I will surrender. I am a prince, but you, I’m afraid it’s at stake. The current plan is only for us to unite, let’s move Lanbu Sushun, it’s great. Let’s make some compensation for Lanbu, and give him more fertile pastures. Send some slaves, give him gold, silver and treasure, as long as we have the same caliber, what can Bayar do, five parts go to three, even if he is forced to sit on the emperor's seat, what's the point?" Daishan looked hesitantly Ning Qi tried to persuade him.

Han Ningqi nodded and said: "Okay, brother Daishan, if we want to preserve our family business and make our descendants Yongchang, then we can't let Bayar succeed. You go to contact Brother Sushun and say that he has always wanted to I gave him the Glenwyn Meadows he wanted."

Daishan was overjoyed, "Okay, Haningqi, with your words, I guarantee that Sushun will have nothing to say. I will send someone to contact Sushun immediately." He turned around and went out happily.

Looking at the back of Daishan's departure, Han Ningqi's eyes flashed a trace of hostility, "I'm sorry, brother Daishan, dead friends are not dead poor, don't blame me!"

Badama Ningbu, Haningqi's son was startled, "Father, aren't we going to unite with Uncle Daishan and Uncle Sushun to oppose the Great Chanyu? What are you doing?"

Han Ningqi closed his eyes, a look of pain flashed across his face, and said: "Son, Daishan hasn't seen the form clearly yet, Bayar's power has already been established, and he has fallen for his father, Qingbu has no strength I have competed with him, if I confront him head-on, I will be swallowed up by Bayar. As my father wants to save some seeds of revival for the Qingbu, I immediately set off to meet the Chanyu, express my surrender to him, and take the initiative to ask Ying went to Congling Pass to defend the Wei people. We only got to that poor place. Bayar might let him go as a father, and let him stop worrying about my dissent. Son, the revival of the Qingbu can only depend on you, or Your son is in your hands." Two lines of muddy tears flowed down Han Ningqi's cheeks.

Badaman Ningbu's face changed drastically, "Father, that uncle Daishan?"

Han Ningqi said grimly: "Ba Yaer dominates the grassland, and he always finds someone to establish his prestige and establish his supreme authority. This person is either me or Daishan. What do you think I should do?"

"Father, will Da Shanyu agree to let us go to Congling Pass?" Badaman Ningbu was a little worried.

"Yes, yes, after Huhe's wolf running army came back, Huangbu Boyan was guarding the Taoling pass. Boyan is Bayar's in-law, his hard-core ally, after Bayar ruled the grassland, he will definitely To launch an attack on Dingzhou, transfer me away at this time, and transfer back to Boyan, for Bayar, it will be more effective to concentrate power to realize his ambitions, so he will definitely agree."

"Father, if we betrayed the Red Department, we will be reviled by the grassland people." Badama Ningbu said with some pain.

Han Ningqi laughed and said: "Son, you have to remember that you are going to be a tribal leader, so betraying and joining forces is simply commonplace for a tribal leader. As long as you do one thing, it will be for the youth." For the sake of the entire tribe, then you are the hero of the Qingbu, and an excellent leader of the Qingbu. The resentment is only for a while, and after a long time, all people will see is your glory, and the transactions and filth covered under the glory Will never come to the surface."

"I understand, father!" Badama Ningbu nodded.
