This mountain is mine

Chapter 234

Zhao Man didn't speak.

Yu Miaomiao slowly raised her head to look at Yang Yuan. Seeing his serious face, she knew that he might have struggled with this problem long ago.

All the previous resistance to Zhao Man was not due to this speculation.

She said to Yang Yuan calmly: "Third brother, Qilang and I are inseparable. Whatever he wants to do, I will accompany him."

No matter what outrageous things he wants to do, she is tied to him. Even if she wants to leave, he is still not happy.

Seeing how unreasonable this man is, even if he made the worst plan, even if he died, he would not let her remarry, and let her son stare at her so that she could not remarry, thanks to him saying so.

But she didn't want him to die. She didn't follow her father at home, her husband after marriage, and her son's death. The only person she could rely on was Zhao Man, and she only wanted to rely on him...

He rebelled if he wanted to, and she didn't have any scruples, besides, in Yu Miaomiao's view, no matter which brother of Zhao Man became the emperor, it was not as suitable as Zhao Man's being the emperor.

If the crown prince Zhao Chi became the emperor, it would be miserable, at least she and Zhao Man would not have a good life, and the Yang family who had feuded with the crown prince would definitely be found fault.Changing someone else might not be able to accommodate Zhao Man.He also has no intention of stopping.

In addition, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were generally too weak, and Liao, Xia, and Mongolia were all masters of tigers and wolves. If there is another weak king, the day when the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed must be too far away.

Although Zhao Man is tyrannical, he has a cold face and a warm heart. It can be seen from his arrangements for his subordinates that he is really worried.

He loves this Great Song Dynasty, he is willing to protect it, he puts his life to protect it, and he doesn't ask for anything in return, just like the last battle of Qinzhou.

In this regard, she is better than others. This may be Yu Miaomiao's prejudice, but judging from her historical knowledge, it seems that the Song Dynasty did not have any powerful ZTE masters. It's even more peaceful, so don't mention it.

Rather than that, it's not as good as her family's Zhao Man being the head of the house.

He may be a bit more hostile, but he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

However, Yu Miaomiao felt that the dynasty she lived in now was both similar and different from the Song Dynasty she knew, and there seemed to be discrepancies in some things and details, and she was a little at a loss, not knowing what had changed.

The armistice and alliance with Liao and the reconciliation of disputes with Tubo should have occurred in the early and middle period of the Northern Song Dynasty, when it was still prosperous.But at this time, there was already a reform of the Green Crop Law, which belonged to the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, and it was time for bad governance to appear.

These details are nothing, anyway, she doesn't know so many historical details, the important thing is that when Zhao Man mentioned the Xiao family last time, he said that eight emperors had been changed since the Song Dynasty was passed down.

This is the reason why she has no hope for the Song royal family at all. The Northern Song Dynasty experienced a total of nine emperors. The Jin Kingdom, which suddenly rose in the Liao territory, broke through the city of Bianjing, plundered the Hui and Qin emperors, and perished in disgrace.

Although the Dajin Kingdom has not yet been established and the Jurchens have not entered the public's field of vision, the Liao Kingdom is still very imposing, which is somewhat different from what Yu Miaomiao knows.

However, the penultimate emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty in history, Huizong, the subjugated king, was proficient in all kinds of poems and songs, but he was very absurd in politics. Astrology and fortune-telling, this is in line with the current emperor.

Moreover, Huizong hurriedly passed the throne to his son because he saw that the Kingdom of Jin was coming, and Qinzong ascended the throne hastily.It is also in line with some habits of the current emperor. For example, when he was suppressed by the Liao people before, he could not handle it, so he let the prince supervise the country and evade responsibility. things come.

Now that the emperor has just passed his fiftieth birthday, judging from the ancients' age of "seventy is a rare age", coupled with the cultivation of Taoism and alchemy, I don't know how many years the current emperor can live. He died only a few years ago, and he shouldn't be too old when he was taken away. If you count the time, it may not be a few years now.

No matter whether she is in the torrent of history or not, no matter whether she really has the "shame of Jingkang", she must try her best to make some efforts, but what she has learned is limited, and there is only so much she can do.Because in the history of the Song Dynasty, apart from the two founding emperors, there were no emperors who successfully usurped the throne, nor emperors who practiced martial arts, or emperors who had been generals.

Yu Miaomiao actually doesn't have much confidence in what he and Zhao Man are doing now.

Therefore, she will not persuade Yang to support Zhao Man, nor will she implicate Yang in the matter of Zhao Man. Yang only needs to stay out of the matter as they did before, and look down on the various disputes in the Central Plains court. Anyway, it is just them. The matter of the husband and wife.

she thought so.

Regarding the death of the Northern Song Dynasty, she never mentioned it to Zhao Man, and she didn't know how to speak.

What's more, I don't know if the current era is the history she thought, she has no way to be sure, the situation in the Song Dynasty is just right now, the strong neighbors are temporarily peaceful, and the world has just ushered in peace, let's go and see.

At this time, she was not in the mood to persuade Yang Yuan. After saying that sentence, Yang Yuan already knew what she wanted to express. He quietly looked away. There were countless words but he didn't know how to start them. In the end, he only said one sentence. : "If he bullies you, brother will help you out."

Yu Miaomiao laughed when she heard that, "Okay."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhao Man again, "I am also supported by someone!"

Zhao Man rubbed her head, "Eating, I think so much in my little head." It's too early to say anything now. Although he has some soldiers and horses, he is not enough to fight against Song's strict internal defense, and he cannot rely on Fight against the tiger and wolf divisions around the Great Song Dynasty with your own strength.

He could only recharge his batteries and hibernate.

The three of them had their own thoughts on eating, and they didn't bring up this topic again. After eating, Yu Miaomiao was no longer in the mood to continue shopping. She had a rest for the night and had to go to Bozhou tomorrow. The inn they stayed at was near the ferry. People go to the inn along the Yangtze River, right as a digestion.

Yu Miaomiao wore a mask and a scarf around her face, only showing a pair of eyes, allowing Zhao Man to hold hands, looking at the surrounding scenery with some disinterest.

When I arrived at the ferry, I saw a small boat with a black awning coming in. This boat was very ordinary, and the boats and fishing boats following the Yangtze River were similar. It didn't attract people's attention.

However, when three young and burly men got off the boat and passed by Yu Miaomiao and the others, one of the men muttered in a low voice: "This is ancient Chongqing. I don't know if there is hot pot now. The chili, Where the hell is the pepper, a bird has faded out of my mouth."

Yu Miaomiao's footsteps stopped suddenly, and she looked at the man who just passed by, and the man turned around unexpectedly, and met her directly.

The man was wearing a gray and heavy suit, very thin, and looked handsome and handsome, but he looked at the scarf wrapped around her neck with a playful look in his eyes, and muttered: "It turns out that Da Song has Wool products."

As he spoke, his gaze wandered over her again, and seeing her wrapped like a rice dumpling, and being held by a man again, obviously a married woman, he looked away meaninglessly.

Just simply looking at him, Yu Miaomiao tightly held Zhao Man's hand, still looking at the man. At this moment, the people around the man said something very quickly, but Yu Miaomiao didn't hear clearly.

There was a sudden darkness in front of her, but she was pulled back by Zhao Man, "Miaomiao, are you tired?"

Only then did she come to her senses, there were several carriages unloading goods at the ferry, she walked forward absent-mindedly, and was almost hit by a worker resisting the goods, "I'm fine, just now..."

When the worker carrying the goods left, she looked over again, and the three men had already gone far away. There were many men and women wearing scarves like Yu Miaomiao on the road. These people probably thought that scarves were nothing. He didn't look back, and gradually went away.

Zhao Man followed her gaze and narrowed his sharp eyes.

His focus is different from Yu Miaomiao's. With just one glance, he can tell that the three of them are not inferior in kung fu, and he grew up in the killing field, so he has an instinct almost like a beast, and he is extremely sensitive to murderous intent.Now he felt that these three people, just like him, had a smell of blood in their bodies and bones. This was not something that could be smelled, but a feeling, a premonition of danger.

"There are a lot of good medicinal materials in the cargo unloaded from this ship." At this moment, Yang Yuan suddenly said softly, "Ginseng, pilose antler, ganoderma... so many good things are not easy to come across, they should be here to do business in medicinal materials of."

He usually travels all over the world, and looking at the figures of the three people just now, and hearing one of them speak a dialect, he can probably guess where they came from.

Zhao Man frowned. He knew about the ginseng in the Song Dynasty, as well as the velvet antler and ganoderma lucidum. Most of them were shipped from the Northeast. They were rare and very precious, or they were from Yanzhou and other places, almost all of which were from the Liao Kingdom. place of domination.

If it is true that the workers transported all these rare medicinal materials, then these three people came from the northeast, could it be that they are Liao people?

It's not that the Liao people did not come to the Song Dynasty to do business, but they were all limited to the frontier fortress. The imperial court had a special place, and the Liao people could not penetrate into the hinterland of the Central Plains openly.

After hearing this, Yu Miaomiao also understood that these three people were from different races, so I don't know how they got in here, could it be smuggled in?However, she heard clearly just now that the man in the head said "ancient Chongqing", and what other chili peppers were introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty, and I don't know where they are now!
For some reason, her heart suddenly became heavy, and she always felt a little uneasy. For her, this era has added more uncertainties.

Seeing that she was not in good spirits, Zhao Man quickly took her back to the inn.

Yu Miaomiao was really tired. Seeing that Zhao Man was wary of these people and had arranged for someone to investigate secretly, she didn't say much.

Yang Yuan immediately went out to talk to those three people about business. He never regarded himself as a Song person, even if he was a foreigner, it had nothing to do with him, and there was no hatred between him, not to mention, he was not the first This is the first time to deal with the Liao people.

Although these people are a bit barbaric, they are not as extravagant as the Han people, and when you do business with them, you will never suffer a disadvantage.He didn't want to miss so many medicinal herbs without having to go to the Northeast once.

However, when the family was eating dinner, Yang Yuan came back, but his expression was not relaxed, on the contrary he was exhausted, and sighed repeatedly, "This barbarian has also become cunning."

Yu Miaomiao answered and asked, "Third brother, are they really from Liao?"

Yang Yuan shook his head and said: "Yes or no, they are the Jurchens in the Liao people's control area. They say that they are oppressed by the Liao people and have no way out. I specifically picked this remote place to come here. I have never been to the place where they live, and it is said that they have a lot of ginseng in Changbai Mountain, but these people are really easy to fool."

Seeing that Yang Yuan guessed his origin, these people refused to admit it before, but who Yang Yuan was, after going around for a few times, the man at the head who knew Chinese no longer concealed his identity and revealed his origin.

Yang Yuan also planned to use his identity as a threat to expel them, so as to take the opportunity to lower the price, but the man was also very stubborn, although he finally reached an agreement with Yang Yuan, it also made him very tired.

Jurchen.

Yu Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat. It was the first time she heard about the Jurchen group when she came here, and she had never seen it in books.

She pretended to be curious and asked: "Are they as good at riding and shooting as the Liao people, are they very brave and sturdy?"

Jurchen had always been a scattered tribe before, and after knowing that Wanyan Aguda appeared to unify the various tribes, they rose up against the Liao Dynasty in the Lien Song Dynasty, quickly destroyed the Liao Kingdom, and quickly tore up the Song and Jin contracts, and quickly perished the Northern Song Dynasty. It's because Da Song is too weak, maybe there are other reasons, Yu Miaomiao doesn't know.

Yang Yuan thought she was asking for Zhao Man. Zhao Man had enmity with the Liao people. Yang Yuan just shook his head, "I don't know if all the clansmen are brave and tough, but after listening to what they said just now, they are still being punished." Suppressed, there are many tribes controlled by the Liao people like the Jurchen Ministry, and I heard that there are some troubles, but the Jurchen is really not very eye-catching, I have never heard of it before."

Hearing this, Yu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately asked again: "Third brother, are they really here to sell medicinal materials? Can the copper coins of the Song Dynasty be used in Liao Kingdom? Or is it exchanged for something else? "

Yang Yuan laughed when he heard the words, "It is true that they are here to exchange things. We use their ginseng, deer antler and fur for our medicinal materials, such as saltpeter, alum, panax notoginseng, angelica, and sulfur."

Yu Miaomiao frowned slightly, and said "Oh", "So that's the case, I've never seen the Jurchens before, I'm a little curious, and they worked really hard."

But I thought in my heart, could it be that she is really careless?
Although there was nothing suspicious about the situation of these Jurchens that Yang Yuan said, she always felt very uneasy in her heart. She didn't know where this uneasiness came from, and she didn't know how to get rid of it.

Seeing Zhao Man's dark eyes staring at her, Yu Miaomiao smiled at him, but her heart was still uneasy, so she asked another question: "Brother San, what's the name of the person doing business with you?"

Hearing this, Zhao Man's eyes darkened, and he couldn't calm down anymore. Miaomiao was too curious about this Jurchen.Ever since she saw that man at the ferry at noon, she had been absent-minded. It was impossible for her to have seen the Liao people and the Jurchens, and she had never been so curious about someone or something like today.

Even Zhao Man himself, he didn't talk about many things, and Miaomiao never asked a question, and he didn't have any curiosity at all.

Now she actually said she was curious.

Zhao Man usually didn't have any delicate thoughts, but at this time Miaomiao's changes were constantly magnified and magnified in his heart.

He had never guessed a woman's mind, and now he couldn't figure out why. A strange, restless, out-of-control emotion began to ferment in his heart.

Is this Miaomiao's secret?

Something to do with this man?
Zhao Man's gaze was too deep, it was difficult for Yu Miaomiao to ignore it, but she didn't know where Zhao Man was thinking now.

In her opinion, Zhao Man always spoke to her with superficial meaning, and he also interpreted her words as superficial meaning. The relationship between men and women needs a little bit of obscurity and euphemism, but there is no such thing between them. His This temperament, to put it bluntly, is straightforward, but to put it bluntly, it just never understands the deep meaning of women.

Yu Miaomiao has also figured out this characteristic of him, when talking to him, he always says what he wants directly, or directly says it in his notebook.

This look made her feel a little guilty, she paused, and explained: "I heard that the names and surnames of Liao people are very long, and some of them are very funny, isn't that true?"

Now even Old Man Lan felt curious. He had been with Yu Miaomiao for half a year, and he knew her temperament well, because he paid too much attention to this Jurchen.

It's just that Yang Xun and Yu Miaomiao haven't been together for a short time, thinking that although Miaomiao is married, but still young, it's normal for a girl to be curious about the outside world.

Yu Miaomiao asked, and Yang Yuan naturally answered every question, "The one today, whose surname is Tang Kuo, Tang Kuo Tesiha, is indeed different from the Central Plains people."

"Tang Quotesha? This person" Yu Miaomiao chewed on the name, she had never heard of it, she only knew Wanyan, who led the Jurchen clan to glory and slaughter.The man who gave her a sense of crisis should have no achievements, such a strange surname.

But she forgot at this time that she had doubts about whether this era was the real history. After all, many places were different from the half-knowledgeable history she knew.

After getting this answer, she felt relieved. There were still many questions she wanted to ask, but she also knew that it was inconvenient to ask now, so she asked Zhao Man to pay more attention to the Jurchens in private.

If possible, shoot all the Wanyans who haven't grown up to death, so as to avoid future troubles.

She didn't know that she had a melancholy look on her face, and said a man's name as if sighing, which made Zhao Man feel even more heavy.

After finally finishing their meal, they went to rest. The waiter brought hot water, and Yu Miaomiao quietly washed Zhao Man. While thinking about how to talk about it, she took a dry cloth towel and scrubbed Zhao Man's hair , he was only wearing a middle coat, but his body was still so warm that people wanted to get close to him.

Zhao Man didn't open his mouth either. There were only one or two candles burning quietly in the house, and the candlelight flickered from time to time. It was raining outside the house, and the raindrops fell on the windows, making a very thin rustling sound.

Yu Miaomiao hasn't figured out how to speak yet, after all, it's really unreasonable to let Zhao Man send people to sneak into the depths of the Liao territory to kill a group of people who have never seen before at the risk of no reason.

Suddenly, her hands were grabbed, her body was pulled forward vigorously, and she fell forward. With a cry of surprise, she landed firmly on Zhao Man's lap. The big chair shook, and her heart fluttered. Jumping wildly, he quickly grabbed his neck to stabilize himself.

"Has the heart that flew away returned?" Zhao Manzheng clasped the back of her head with one hand and wrapped her waist with the other, moving up and down in a moderate manner.

As soon as Yu Miaomiao opened her mouth to speak, he bit her lips quickly and fiercely like a prey. He punished her for not concentrating, and punished this woman for the strange anxiety that arose in his heart.

He wished he could swallow her into his stomach like eating the slippery and tender bean curd on the table today, so that he could feel relieved.

He was angry, and as long as he thought that she was thinking about that Jurchen when she brushed his hair absent-mindedly just now, he couldn't control the anger in his heart at all.Her body and mind belonged to him, he knew it, and never doubted it, but there was a secret in her heart that he could not detect, not only could he not detect it, but he was also very powerless about it, completely beyond his control.

He didn't know whether this depression was towards himself, her, or the Jurchen who attracted her attention.

Zhao Man crazily curled Yu Miaomiao's lips and tongue, wishing to suck all her nectar, and clasped the back of her head with his hands, so that she couldn't take a step away and let him pick it.

The big palm on her waist got into the clothes and went down her waistline. Yu Miaomiao struggled a few times and groaned twice, but couldn't utter a complete sentence at all.

Suddenly, her body was cold, her skirt was lifted up, and the trousers on her body were ripped off by him. She was startled and pushed him hard. He let the chair swing back, and when the two of them almost fell to the ground, He braced his feet and stabilized.

Yu Miaomiao is also reluctant to bite him, even if he bites, I'm afraid he won't let go, bloody kiss, she doesn't want any more, he is obviously emotional this time, I don't know what he is anxious about, but Yu Miaomiao guesses it's probably It has something to do with herself. She has been meditating all afternoon, what has she overlooked?
He has always been the one who takes the initiative and controls the husband and wife in this kind of matter, and he goes down the mountain like a hungry tiger as always, but he has never been so eager and almost irritable like today.

She stopped struggling, and slowly relaxed her body, moved one hand to his back, and gently stroked his head, his hair, his broad back, and the raised scars on it.

The other hand painted his face, his forehead, eyebrows, and bridge of nose, and slid all the way to his neck, Adam's apple, got into his clothes with a slight coolness, and rubbed his hot chest.

Inch, inch.
