Chapter 595 Ning Dong Xuehai Great Wheel of Life and Death (4)
ps: Read the exclusive story behind "The Son-in-law" and listen to your more suggestions for the novel. Follow (add friends-add-enter qdread) and tell me quietly. In the valley where the weather is cold and the wind and snow fall, because
With the arrival of more than 2,000 people, the atmosphere became even more lively.
Two thousand people who came from Luliang Mountain were arranged on one side of the valley. There were some broken tiles and ruins from the original village, and the living quarters had not yet been set up. However, members of the original Wurui Camp in the valley sent firewood and burned firewood.
After setting up piles of bonfires and starting to cook, everyone in Luliang pulled up tents around the bonfire. There were still people coming in and out of the valley, and some members of Bamboo Records who had been to Luliang Mountain came to visit.
They were filled with indignation when they talked about their friends who had died recently.
Not long after, Qin Shaoqian and others came to see them, and the surrounding area instantly became quiet. Everyone gathered in the open space. Qin Shaoqian said some words of welcome and thanks. After that, Ning Yi stood in front of everyone for a moment, glanced over it, and waved.
Waving his hands: "The war is fierce and the war is dangerous. I never thought you would come. But thank you for coming. Okay, go do your work. I will come over to chat with you when I have time."
He spoke briefly, and naturally it was difficult for everyone to answer. However, some people saw concern in their eyes when they saw Ning Yi's physical weakness.
〓Yi had high prestige in Luliang Mountain. He married Hongti, took over Liang Bingfu's squad, and then planned everything in the mountain in an orderly manner. Most of the troops in Luliang Mountain were people who had lived a hard life before, and more than half of them had met Ning Yi. Even if
I have never seen it before. After joining Qingmuzhai, I have heard people talk about that foreign scholar countless times. With such an identity, from Liang Bingfu to Ning Yi, he has become a legend in Qingmuzhai.
When Liang Bingfu of Qingmuzhai was alive, he could barely maintain the entire village. Perhaps no one thought how powerful he was at that time. However, after Liang Bingfu passed away, life in the mountain became better again. In the past, he devoted all his efforts to the entire village.
, worked hard, and in the memories of everyone, it finally fermented into something that can make people cry.
Part of this touching nature naturally comes from Ning Yi's operation. After Liang Bingfu passed away, Ning Yi finally told the story of Liang Bingfu and Hongti Master in his memorial service. When Liang Bingfu went into the mountains and encountered bandits, he was Hongti.
He was saved by his master because of a promise, and he stayed in Luliang Mountain for the entire second half of his life. He never married and had no children. When Ning Yi repeated that relationship and what Liang Bingfu said before his death to everyone in a calm tone,
, half of the Luliang people who heard it cried.
Whether sincere or manipulative, some people may think that when the old man is dying, he may not want his secrets to be known to others because of moral mysophobia. Ning Yi has no way of asking about this, but after such a statement. In Luliang Mountain, Cong Hong
Ti's master, Liang Bingfu, Hongti, Ning Yi, three generations of leaders truly gathered into the soul of Qingmuzhai. In other places in Luliang Mountain, when you finish singing and I will appear on the stage, the new leader of the village has arrived.
There are many people who have killed old village leaders to get to the top. But there is nothing like this that can really be remembered in people's hearts.
Afterwards, when everyone recalled Liang Bingfu, they would naturally exaggerate many things because they were moved. But regardless of whether the Liang Bingfu that everyone portrayed was the true appearance of the old man, Ning Yi believed that if the old man in heaven really had a spirit
, will also be pleased with how the stockade turned out. Of course, the old man defended the stockade in the first place all because of Hongti’s master. Now that they are reunited in heaven, they are probably happy and happy, and they don’t care what the people underground think.
×As for the real old man, as long as he has Hongti and Ning Yi and others remember it, that’s fine.
***************
"What happened this time, to be honest, I don't want you to come here. The Jurchens are very powerful, ahem... You have also seen the situation in this place. On September 25, 220,000 people were defeated.
After three rounds of fighting, the number has expanded to 330,000. Luliangshan worked hard and managed to save something. I don’t want you to be smashed here..."...
"Bronze or iron are always forged in the fire. I came here today and saw these people outside. They seem to be in good spirits. They don't look like defeated soldiers."
"It took a lot of effort to turn people's hearts around. Many people died and others took the blame. Recently, we gathered more than 10,000 people and changed our minds a little. We said that we can barely fight a war.
But the tens of thousands of people under Zong Wang are the most powerful soldiers sweeping the world. Even if they are two against one, we may not have a chance of winning. There is really nothing to be optimistic about."
"...It is precisely because of this that we are even more determined to come here. When we set out, I asked them that all the brothers in the mountains are willing to fight this battle for you. You said at the beginning that we are training troops for the Jurchens.
We have seen how powerful the Liao soldiers are, but the Jurchens have not yet seen it. However, you are injured again..."
Put your fingers on the table and touch them lightly.
Squeak, squeak, there is a sound coming in and out of the door.
The fingers retracted again.
Juaner was tidying up the bedding outside, and then ran out again.
"When I left, Aoki didn't have so many war horses. When I came here today, I was also shocked. The available cavalry in Wurui Camp is only slightly more than this..."
"There are still hundreds of horses left in the mountains. According to your previous instructions, Li Heng, we have been thinking of ways to buy horses. The Jin people banned the circulation of war horses, and the Wu Dynasty could not buy them. However, we did business on both sides, and we had some connections. Later,
We got in touch with one of the Jin people, who was very fond of the calligraphy and painting treasures of the Wu Dynasty. We made great efforts and picked some good ones to smoothen the relationship. But what happened next was interesting. The subordinate sent by this Jin Dynasty big shot secretly communicated with
We contacted and said that although his master likes these things, he is just arty and has no ability to distinguish the authenticity of the objects. He only needs to open the joints below to pass them off as inferior ones... In fact, we have to look everywhere for those high-grade treasures and calligraphy and paintings.
, it was not easy for us, so we spent some money to open up the joints, and then these war horses came over in a steady stream. They thought we were going to rebel against the Wu Dynasty... but it was a pity that the original ones were there at the beginning."
"Don't be afraid of genuine products. When doing business, you need to be trustworthy. As long as there is a horse, if he wants good things, I will give him as much as he wants. Now is not the time to cherish antiques, calligraphy and paintings. However, this may leave hidden dangers. Since the other party has high-level officials in Jinren
It is inevitable that you will meet someone who knows your stuff someday. It is not easy to have such a relationship. If it breaks off, it would be a pity. By the way, what's that person's name?"
"The current investigation shows that behind the other party, there seems to be a high-ranking official named Mo Xin. It's hard to say whether there is anyone behind him. Then should we give them the real thing next? I'm afraid that after giving it, we won't be able to get the good stuff back.
.”
"Let's look at the present first. If we need it for a long time in the future, I will think about ways to do it. In this situation, calligraphy, painting and curios are nothing. Once Bianliang is broken, all the jars and jars will be smashed. I would rather use the entire Bianliang
City, in exchange for one hundred thousand elite soldiers from the Jurchens."
"Um."
"But, how about your daily training? It looks good when you dismount, but what about your fighting ability? What about your daily training?"
"According to what you said in the mountains, Li Heng, I have trained well. I should rush into the formation as neatly as possible and shoot arrows immediately. The ground over Luliang is uneven and the formations need to be connected, which is more difficult than on flat ground. Here, it is much easier.
Oh, we often fire cannons next to these war horses..."
"Uncle, take medicine."
"Oh, so... hiss, it's so painful..."
"Hey, hello, Miss Lu."
"Well...Hello, Miss Juan'er."
…
"...Ah, I hate drinking this medicine. It's too bitter...Oh, you also did the cannon training?"
"It should be no problem. We also brought elm cannons this time, and some of them are iron cannons that have been tested. The iron from the furnace is good and bad...and those mines..."...
Buzz buzz buzz buzz. The two chatted in the room for a long time. Juaner wandered at the door a few times, and then she was finally stopped by Ning Yi with a smile.
"What's going on, don't be dazed, just tell me if you have anything."
"Uh...I have already tidied up Miss Lu's room. I was thinking...when will I take Miss Lu there..."
Juan'er stood there upright and upright, maintaining her proper image as a maid. Ning Yi's mouth twitched and he wanted to laugh. Hong Ti looked at him, lowered his head and stood up.
"I just got here, and I have to see how Han Jing and the others are camping. Miss Juaner, please take me to see where the room is now."
"Okay." Juaner nodded and smiled.
The shack for Hongti was actually not far away. Juaner led her there and came back soon. Ning Yi was reading various news reports in the camp today under the lamp. He had just entertained Hongti, and the table
There were some snacks on the bed, so Juaner quietly went in to clean them up, then quietly tidied up the bed, and then went out to sit quietly in the small cubicle outside, waiting for Ning Yi's instructions. However, when Ning Yi waited until
When Yi was rubbing her eyes under the oil lamp, she couldn't help but go in carefully.
"Uncle."
"Um?"
"Uncle, are you angry?"
"The red grape thing? When have I ever been angry with you for something like this?"
"Then...my uncle, you and Miss Lu..."
"Ah...you mean, is there that kind of relationship..."
"Uh... I'm talking about... that kind of relationship... uh, it's..." Juan'er thought about it for a long time, it was hard to say. Ning Yi laughed.
"It's more of a relationship than a confidante or something. Well, there is. The relationship between me and Hongti should be the same as the relationship with Miss Yunzhu. I had it when I went to Luliang. Regarding this matter, I
I feel sorry for Tan'er, Yunzhu and the others. But now that things have happened, I can't lie."
Juan'er's face changed, and she stood there with her fingers twisted together, almost turning blue: "I...I didn't mean...that...that..."
"No." Ning Yi stood up, gently pulled Juan'er's arm, and asked her to sit down at the table, "You sit down, you don't have to do this. From the perspective of... family members, or maybe because of Tan'er's anger
, there is nothing wrong with you. In any case, in this regard, I have the habit of being a philanderer. Looking into this more deeply, whether it is towards your lady, Yunzhu, or Hongti, I feel a little sorry."
"A man... having three wives and four concubines is actually..." Juan'er's voice was as thin as a mosquito, and it was a bit difficult to speak.
"No, that's not what you said. I used to be willing to make some excuses for myself. I was pitiful, I couldn't let go, I was soft-hearted, etc. On a practical level, I was just being carefree. Your lady was very indulgent to me in this regard.
, Yunzhu and the others are the same, it may not be an inducement. But in the final analysis, it is something I did myself."
"You, Miss, Chan'er, Yunzhu, Jin'er, and others are different from others. Other men have three wives and four concubines, and they all use women as playthings..."
"Well, so you can comfort yourself." Ning Yi laughed, and then paused slightly, "In any case, the whole thing is like this. But... Miss Lu really still has to go out to inspect the camp situation tonight.
Yes, and she has 2,000 people to take care of, and there are more than 10,000 people watching her here. It is impossible for her to live with me blatantly, so it is necessary for you to arrange a room for her."
He sighed: "Anyway, this may be the situation our family will face in the future. It's good for you to know. I have tried my best to restrain myself. No matter you think your uncle is a good person or a bad person. Well, even if you think he is a
Bad people, I can tolerate a few curses in my heart or a few curses with my mouth. There are still many things at hand that I have to ask you to do. Just don’t give up on them.”…
Ning Yi said these words with a smile, and Juan'er, who had always been quiet, turned red at this time: "I, I don't think my uncle is a bad person, I... I am just a maid, and... my uncle is a good person."
"Oh, good guy card..."
"Then...I heard that Miss Lu is a martial arts hero, a master of martial arts, and good at healing injuries. Then I...should I ask her to come over? I...I'll go live somewhere else first..." Juan
Er looked at Ning Yi eagerly.
Ning Yi frowned and thought for a moment: "Well, I think... I might really need her help with my injuries. Juan'er, you... clean up a room for yourself. That's fine."
"...Yeah." Juan'er had a disappointed look on her face, nodded, went out to clean up the room, and moved the bedding...
After she left, Ning Yi looked at the door, sighed, and then curled his lips: "Now you know I am a bad person..."
*****************
The two thousand people from Qingmuzhai arrived at night and had to settle down. In addition to tent issues and the placement of war horses, there were also many issues to deal with such as the rules and sentries after setting up camp. Although Hong Ti came to see Ning Yi, in fact
, naturally it was impossible to just talk about personal matters. After leaving Ning Yi, he came over to check on the camp situation, and also coordinated patrolling, deployment and other issues with the original person in charge in the valley.
Fortunately, most of the people in charge of daily affairs in the valley at this time were people from Zhuji, and some of them had been to Luliang Mountain. It was not troublesome for the two parties to coordinate. Hongti showed up there and inspected, and the specific affairs were still handed over.
Gave it to Han Jing. In fact, Hongti's image in the village was not friendly. If not, many people would have come to ask about Ning Yi's injury.
In this way, by the time I had a rough understanding of the matter and returned, it was almost late at night. A lonely figure stood at the door of her room while rubbing her hands. If I looked carefully, it was Juan'er.
"Miss Juan'er." Hongti was a little surprised, "It's so late, are you waiting for me?"
"Miss Lu." Juaner saluted her, "I...I came here to apologize."
"Huh? Why?"
"I...well, between you and my uncle..."
Juaner was a little hesitant when she spoke, but Hongti laughed, went over to hold her cold hand, and then opened the door: "Come in first, the room will be warmer."
In fact, the two people at this time had met before, and it was in Hangzhou. When Ning Yi was trapped in Hangzhou, Tan'er turned back to find him, and on the way he was accompanied by Hongti, who was a chivalrous woman.
Juan'er was also there, but Hongti was in disguise at that time, disguised as a woman in her early thirties. Although the two parties talked at that time, Hongti saw her in her true face at this time, and Juan'er understood that it was convenient.
She was the chivalrous woman from before, but she still felt strange in her heart.
Hongti's true temperament is actually quite gentle. When she first met Ning Yi, she seemed tough, but inside she was more or less like a village girl. She was later deceived by several of Ning Yi's stories. It's just that she was the leader of the village.
Over the years, especially with the help of Ning Yi, Qingmuzhai has been on the right track and has continued to expand. She is a master of skills and always has the bearing of a master. At this time, holding Juan'er's hand, Juan'er felt that the palm of her hand was warm.
She was so soft that even her body couldn't help but feel warm, and she felt kind in her heart. She began to talk about the most important things to her.
"Miss Lu, you are very skilled in martial arts, and you have a way to deal with my uncle's injuries. My uncle has been injured for more than a month. He has been working hard day and night, and the injury is not healing very slowly. I am afraid that he will leave the root of the disease in the future. I have given him some advice before.
When I was taking medicine, I saw Miss Lu and you also smelled it. You are a great expert, is there something wrong with the medicine..."
She was pulled into the room by Hongti. Juaner was still talking nonchalantly. Hongti asked her to sit down in the dark room. He went over and waved his hand to open the book, lit the oil lamp in the room, and came back to sit in front of Juaner.
, took Juan'er's hand: "Of course I've seen Li Heng's injury, and the medicine is symptomatic. However, I'm worried about you now. You've spent a lot of time standing in the snow so late at night.
Come on, if you continue like this, you will also get sick.”…
"Well, I, I'm in good health. My uncle and the others are really tired. They were seriously injured at the beginning, just to burn the food and grass that the Jurchens grabbed. After the injury, they didn't get much rest. My uncle can sit up when they can."
At that time, we had already started to do things. At that time, everyone was dead and injured, and my uncle never stopped in order to save people..."
Juaner shook her head as she spoke, saying that she was fine. She had a cold temperament, and when she spoke, there was not much sadness on her face, but after talking about it, she still had slightly red eyes. Hongti listened.
, also nodded.
"They are like that. There is no way. When a person is seriously injured, his breath cannot be cut off. If he can survive the most difficult time in one breath, he can improve. The same is true for martial arts. Li Heng's indiscriminate use of breaking the six paths is harmful to the body.
I have warned him many times, but there is no way. He can only use it when it is time to use it, and I can only recuperate his body after the incident... Miss Juan'er, if you don't tell me these things, so do I.
I will try my best to do it.”
Juan'er nodded and mentioned that she had moved out of Ning Yi's room and moved to live next door. Hong Ti's face turned slightly red: "Actually, you don't have to move out. I...
...The bad thing has always been there. His current body is better if someone can take care of it at night. I... will do the hemorrhage for him at night. It will take some time and it will be good for his health, but after it is done, um...
I can ask you to go back, although it will be a bit troublesome."
"No trouble, no trouble." Juan'er shook her head quickly and said, "I can wait until Miss Lu calls me before I go back. My uncle needs someone to take care of him at night, so it's more convenient for me. I... I'm originally from the Su family.
Maid."
Having said this, he showed a cute smile, and his face that looked cold and plain turned red again.
So not long after, Hongti went to Ning Yi's room to help him with the bleeding and to recuperate his body. When he saw Hongti coming over, Ning Yi was actually a little surprised. He thought Juan'er would hinder this matter.
Well. He had already experienced Hongti's push-on-uterine blood massage. When he was in Luliang Mountain, in order to keep Ning Yi in good health, Hongti often did it to him. This method of using human power to promote blood circulation is similar to massage.
, but naturally there are many differences. It is very painful for Ning Yi if external force interferes with the blood flow, especially now that he is injured, and the blood vessels are already stagnant and blocked. He needs to push the acupuncture points one by one.
In the past, it became even more painful.
It's just that the two of them are already a de facto couple. When they were in Luliang Mountain, they had done some intimate things. Hongti's methods were naturally softer, and Ning Yi would not always be at the mercy of others.
During this period, it is normal for the couple to do something that is not humane to outsiders.
So that night, when Hong Ti knocked on the door and asked Juan'er to go back, her face was still slightly red and hot with shame. Fortunately, it was already night, and Juan'er couldn't see anything. She just returned to the outside of Ning Yi's room.
In the small cubicle, Juan'er couldn't help but wonder what the two of them were doing in the room. She couldn't help but huddle up in the quilt, tossing and turning and having trouble sleeping.
In the next few days, this situation continued repeatedly...
The day when the cavalry from Qingmuzhai arrived was the eighth day of November of this year. After that, Zhu Ji continued to clear the country. They braved the heavy snow and went through the barren mountains one after another, trying to move everyone out.
In this large area on the outskirts of Bianliang City, the daily training in the valley is also going on. After the people from Qingmuzhai arrived, there were some competitions and exchanges between the two sides.
As the heavy snow continued, although the Wu Dynasty still controlled the crossing of the Yellow River, due to the gradual difficulty in regulating food, the increased demand for heating supplies, the supply system was disordered and even paralyzed, the situation of troop garrisoning in the valley of Xiacun
, and also encountered many problems. However, although the cold weather made life a little more difficult, it was still a small trouble that could be overcome.…
The real big trouble is the Jurchens who have been preparing to attack the city in Moutuogang. If Ning Yilai can sum up the toughness of these people from the north, it is: they are in the weather of dozens of degrees below zero in the northeast.
A race of people who can survive without relying on heating.
Although the technology of bunk bed was already available at this time, in the north, it was only something that wealthy families could enjoy. Before the Jurchen uprising, the living conditions were already difficult. In the cold wind of 20 to 30 degrees below zero,
Relying on things like tents and campfires to keep warm, hunt, and survive is definitely unbearable for modern people.
Although there are regional differences between the north and the south. The winter in the south is wet and cold, which makes people feel sad even if the temperature is not that low. However, for these Jurchens, attacking the city in heavy snow is not as impossible as imagined.
Almost everyone knows that sooner or later they will organize a large-scale attack on Bianliang City. At that time, Bianliang City's defense will face a truly huge test.
As time progressed, Ning Yi and others were training troops in the valley, and the Jurchens were manufacturing and even improving various siege equipment in Moutuogang. On November 16th, the heavy snow temporarily stopped, and the white snow had already covered Bianliang.
Everything around them, while the Jurchen army scouts were patrolling around, they suddenly intercepted a message.
This information was quickly passed to the Moutuogang Camp, then to the top Jurchens, and then to the case of Generalissimo Zong Wang of the Eastern Route Army... (To be continued)
