Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

The coquettish words said: "Tonight, Uncle Tieqi Wang is going to negotiate with his father. The agreement is not far ahead."

"..."

The big stone pressed on my chest calmed me abnormally. I was silent for a while before I said, "Is that right? Did Yang Chu already arrange it and let us go together?"

"Yes."

"When to set off?"

"Leave as soon as it gets dark."

"Okay, go ahead and prepare, mother must also prepare."

She slowly got up, but looked back at me, and said anxiously: "Mother, what happened just now, don't you really tell me?"

I looked up at her, and her eyes were still hot, but the expression on her face had calmed down. Perhaps the boulder in my heart had pressed me away from any mood swings. I just scratched the corner of my lips and said : "Don't ask so much, deal with the big things in front of you first, and then talk about it."

"..."

She hesitated, and nodded obediently: "Oh."

When she left, I slowly raised my hand and saw that a piece of skin on my palm was worn out, and it was scratched on the ground when I just fell down, but I could n’t even feel it at all, even my lips. The flap was bitten by myself, and the blood was flowing. I just tasted the **** taste and didn't feel any pain.

Probably, this level of pain is nothing to me.

I slowly clenched my hands slowly and firmly, until my nails got into the wound, and I felt a little tingling, although it was just a little bit, straight into my heart.

Soon, everyone was ready.

I sat in the tent, and heard the sound of horseshoes when King Tieqi took the men and horses out of the barracks. The ground was shaking. After a while, Yangchu and Miaoyan came to find me. Yangchu said, "Aunt Qing, We are leaving. "

"it is good."

I followed them and it was completely dark. Someone in the camp lit a bonfire and there were torches. He led us to the doorway, where there were several horsemen waiting.

He said, "We can only ride on it, Aunt Qing your body—"

"Be careful, I can hold it."

After speaking, I got on the horse, my body was not fully raised, and I was hit by Nangong Lizhu at this time. At this time, I was about to faint at any time, but I still gritted my teeth and sat tight on the horse's reins. Yang Chu and Miao Yan looked worried at me when they looked pale.

I looked at the two children calmly and said, "Don't worry about me, I won't fall until the big deal is over."

"..."

After all, they didn't say anything, and they got on the horse.

This team is small in number, light and light, only to protect our safety, a few additional staff were sent, apparently it was Yangchu's own people.

I didn't expect that this child, who was only a teenager, was usually bullied by wonderful words and had already begun to have his own power.

Perhaps in the future, or in the near future, he will have a place on this vast grassland.

After leaving the barracks, we galloped all the way. Although we were uncomfortable, we flew up and listened to the cold wind whistling in our ears. I felt Xuemo stuck to my face like a steel needle. The pain on my body made me feel more comfortable. So the faster and faster I run, Miao Yan and Yang Chun even need to step up to catch up with me.

After a while, we were at the place where they negotiated.

Here, there was a small lake.

The way did not pass here, or it may have passed, but Susu and I were in a semi-comatose state and did not notice that someone had settled in the camp here, and several huge tents were connected in a row. It was particularly dazzling in the night.

There is still a long way from there, Yang Chu took us off the horse and walked across the other road.

When we arrived, we didn't alarm anyone. Someone took us into a tent. It was the largest tent in the middle of the tension. After sitting down, we could hear the sound of patrolling around.

After riding this horse for so long, I was breathing heavily, and after sitting down, Miao Yan stood by me and stretched out my hands to caress my back.

I asked, "Are they here?"

Yang Chu went out and said a few words to others, and then said, "The emperor is already on the road and should be here soon. The place where they negotiate is right next to us. We can't speak for a while."

I nodded.

After being comforted by Miaoyan for a while, I was slightly comfortable, so she did n’t have to be busy. She sat down and rested. The girl was younger and better than me. As Tieqi Wang said, she was born in a horse On the back, the horse who has been riding for so long has not changed his face. At this time, he ran to the door uncontrollably and opened his tent to look out.

She should also miss Pei Yuanzhang very much.

At this time, she said, "Father Emperor is here!"

I did n’t look there, and I could hear a horseshoe sound coming from the outside. There were not many people, but obviously there were many. After all, Pei Yuanzhang's safety on the grassland could not be guaranteed. I heard them approaching and dismounting. It seemed that the people and horses on both sides had gathered together for a while and then went into the huge tent next to them.

I could roughly recognize the voices of those people, so I quickly heard Pei Yuanzhang's voice. They entered the huge tent in two ways, and then sat down on either side. Someone came in and gave them tea. .

Wang Tieqi's voice sounded: "Although we should treat guests with wine, but today we are talking about the important things, so we still drink tea. This is the tea collected by the king."

Pei Yuanzhang smiled slightly: "It's okay."

At this time, some people also brought us hot tea and some food over here.

Of course I do n’t have an appetite. I still have a bowl of tea in my hand and I also pass the food to my mouth. I have no choice but to take two mouthfuls. I feel panicked.

Everyone in the big account over there drank water and ate something.

Then, I heard King Tieqi say, "His Majesty, the people on our prairie don't like to turn corners. You send a message to the king, saying that you want to unite with the king. Do you really have this intention?"

Pei Yuanzhang laughed softly: "Jin Jinkou Yuyan, what's more, how can you believe that?"

"But what the king wanted to know was why did you come to join the king?"

"If Ruohe said, He is optimistic about you and the King of Iron Face, I believe you will let the sky above the grassland clear the haze, and eventually you will see the sunrise. Do you believe in His words?"

"This sentence, don't believe the emperor to believe that we will do this, because we can be confident."

"Is that right?"

"It's just right, but it's just right for us, but what about you? You ran to the grassland for thousands of miles, wasn't it just a union with the king? In the king's view, union is only a means, you think What is to be achieved by this means? "

It seems that Tieqi Wang is very smart.

"In the past, the king often went to the border to see the trade in the horse market. I also encountered many smart businessmen in the Central Plains. They circulated a word that made the king remember-people are good for getting up early, not to mention His Majesty, you Thousands of miles, ventured to the grasslands, if it was not profitable, would you do it? "

"..."

"What is your profit?"

Pei Yuanzhang didn't answer him immediately. We heard that there was a period of silence in the large account over there. Many people wanted to come to the large account, but at this time they didn't even hear a cough or gasp.

I can almost imagine that all people and all eyes are focused on Pei Yuanzhang alone.

And he-what was he thinking?

I held my breath, holding a cup filled with hot tea in one hand, and listening intently, I didn't know how long it took before I heard Pei Yuanzhang said, "I have just said that you once went to the border to see the trade in the horse market. "

"Good."

"How long ago was that?"

"A lot of years ago."

"Haven't been there these years?"

"Of course, the border has already closed the horse market over the years. Except for some merchants who have taken the risk of smuggling horses, normal trade has long been invisible."

"Yes," Pei Yuanzhang also seemed to sigh. "In recent years, this incident has also been worrying Xun. The horses of the Central Plains are not as savage as you are on the grasslands. I have also been complaining to the horse, the horse is of poor breed. "

"..."

I do n’t know why he suddenly said this. Although this is not a state secret, it always feels a little strange to say it in front of the Iron Knight.

Not only did I think so, even Yang Chun, who was holding his breath and listening quietly, frowned, and murmured, "What is he thinking?"

But Pei Yuanzhang didn't seem to feel anything wrong, and asked Tieqi Wang: "What influence do you have?"

"..."

The King Tieqi was silent for a while, and said, "Since the emperor has said so, the king can also say that after the horse trade stopped, the tea we used has been broken for a long time, and there are very few people who can drink tea. Rich merchants buy at high prices, and the quantity is far from enough. "

On the surface, it seems that tea is just an ordinary thing. Compared to Pei Yuanzhang's need for horses, their demand for tea does not seem to matter, but I know that people on the prairie have difficulty getting fresh vegetables. They have been eating meat for many years and need tea to help them get rid of food. In the past, the two sides benefited each other, but now, the amount of tea entering the grassland has greatly reduced, and the people on the grassland have gradually become more ill.

This kind of change is difficult to detect at first, and it is difficult to find the crux even after it appears.

The Iron Knight is obviously much smarter than the deacons of Shengjing today.

Pei Yuanzhang chuckled and said, "It looks like the meeting between King and Xun today seems more like a business deal."
