On the vast white snowfield, Princess Yulong stood in the carriage of the horse-drawn sleigh, watching the surrounding snow scene being quickly left behind at the speed of the sleigh, and cheered happily.
This doubled the pressure on a merchant soldier who was driving in front. He carefully drove the sleigh, fearing that the sudden bumps of the sled might throw Princess Yulong out.
Next to Princess Yulong, Qin Shaojun, who was riding in a sleigh with her, was also full of uneasiness. He was holding on to the railing of the car with one hand and holding Princess Yulong with the other. He kept urging: "Sit down."
Come down, Yulon, sit down."
Being interrupted by Qin Shaojun, Princess Yulong couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She missed her good friend Oona a little. If that prairie girl were here at this moment, she would definitely cheer loudly like her, because she was riding a sleigh on the snowy field.
The feeling is really wonderful.
Seeing that Princess Yulong was finally willing to sit down, Qin Shaojun breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, she finally had the energy to look at the sleigh carefully.
"He relied on this thing to get rid of Lord Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi..."
Qin Shaojun's mood was a bit complicated as he patted the board of the sleigh gently.
This kind of sleigh seems to have a simple structure, but when in Taolin, Wei Gongzi Run relied on this to enable nearly 100,000 Wei troops to get rid of more than 100,000 Qin troops led by Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi, and attacked seven countries in ten days.
Baili invaded Qin's homeland and caught Qin by surprise.
As far as Qin Shaojun knew, this sleigh was designed by her friend Wei Gongzirun who was currently in the Cold War stage.
There is also the Smelting and Manufacturing Bureau of Daliang in the State of Wei. Qin Shaojun heard from people that the improved war weapons designed and improved by the Smelting and Manufacturing Bureau of Daliang in the State of Wei were probably the work of Wei Gongzi Run, who improved the catapult and designed it.
He made continuous crossbows, turtle-shell chariots, and Wugang chariots, and vigorously supported the improvement of Wei's iron smelting and forging techniques, which led to the rapid improvement of Wei's technology.
Among them, the Wugang chariot is said to have been designed during the war between Wei and South Korea. South Korea, which had a strong cavalry, was once passive because of Wei's new chariot, and was eventually captured by Wei Gongzi Run, the capital of Handan.
.
"This time, he almost captured Xianyang..."
Thinking of this incident, Qin Shaojun's mood was a little complicated. Although she was happy that Zhao Hongrun had achieved higher achievements, she would not be happy if the victim was her country.
Fortunately, the war between Qin and Wei is about to end, and the two countries will usher in a peaceful period of alliance.
"Young Master? Young Master?"
"Huh?"
Qin Shaojun, whose thoughts were interrupted, raised his head and saw Princess Yulong's concerned eyes: "Are you still angry with Hongrun?"
Originally, Qin Shaojun had forgotten about this matter, but after hearing Princess Yulong mention it, she couldn't help but get angry again.
"He did it on purpose!" she said angrily: "Since you decided to use this sleigh to travel, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Thinking of this, Qin Shaojun felt angry, because Zhao Hongrun was obviously full of malice and deliberately wanted this team to arrive at the same time as the cavalry team going to Xianyang to deliver a message. This not only fooled her, but also left Xianyang with no time to prepare, so as to
Xianyang shows off its power.
It is not difficult to guess that when Xianyang learned that Zhao Hongrun's team had arrived at the city early, but Xianyang had not yet made relevant preparations, one can imagine the expressions of her father and the nobles of Xianyang.
The damn thing is that she had to bear this responsibility in the end because she didn't send the letter in advance.
After thinking about it, this is completely the vicious plot of that guy!
"Don't be angry."
Seeing Qin Shaojun's face flushed with anger, Princess Yulong blinked and whispered, "Can I avenge you?"
"Revenge? How?" Qin Shaojun asked puzzledly.
Princess Yulong stretched her hand out of the sleigh, grabbed several handfuls of snow, and then condensed the snow into snowballs. She smiled and nuzzled at the sleigh that Zhao Hongrun was riding not far away.
"I see!"
Qin Shaojun understood clearly and immediately said hesitantly: "Isn't this...not good?"
"Look at me." Princess Yulong gave Qin Shaojun a "reassuring" look, and then threw the snowball in her hand towards Zhao Hongrun.
But unfortunately, Princess Yulong didn't miss it.
"You try?" she said to Qin Shaojun.
"This..." Qin Shaojun hesitated for a moment, but when she recalled that Zhao Hongrun deliberately angered her, she resolutely took the snowball handed over by Princess Yulong.
At the same time, in the sleigh that Zhao Hongrun was riding in, he was chatting with Yangquan Jun Yingbo and Lantian Jun Yingban. After all, since Qin and Wei are in alliance, the trade between the two countries cannot be reduced, he thought.
Let’s hear if the impoverished Qin State has any specialties that are not found in other places.
Not to mention, the "Lantian Beautiful Jade" proposed by Lantian Junying was enough to make Zhao Hongrun feel a little moved.
The reason is that there are many types of Lantian jade. Although most of them have poor color and few are crystal clear, they are colorful, warm to the touch and fine in texture, making them a very good jade carving material.
For example, the jade pendant handed to Zhao Hongrun by Mr. Lantian was polished from a kind of "colored jade", and there was also a piece of "black jade" on the belt of Mr. Lantian that was hard to see elsewhere.
Rare jade.
Zhao Hongrun didn't value gold and silver, but he liked jade quite a lot, especially jade like colored jade and black jade, which were basically invisible in the Wei state. Therefore, when Lord Lantian was relegated, he gave away these two pieces to please him.
When the jade was presented to him, he hesitated for a long time, and finally reluctantly gave it back: "No reward for no merit..."
Lan Tianjun was relegated to a good-for-nothing who liked to eat, drink and have fun, but this did not mean that he did not understand the ways of the world, so he did not give any more gifts.
Whether it was him or Yangquan Jun Yingbo, both of them could see that the Wei Gongzi Run in front of them was still alienated from them, but it was no wonder, after all, Qin and Wei were still at war a few days ago.
Next, Yangquan Jun Yingbo chatted with Zhao Hongrun about the Qin State, such as explaining the conflict between the Qin State and the Wei family in Longxi.
In fact, Zhao Hongrun knew more or less about these past events. It was simply the Wei family in Longxi who wanted to die and tried to provoke a war between Qin and Xiqiang. He played some conspiracies and tricks to reap the benefits. As a result, the news was leaked and angered the people of Qin.
, thus erupted a war between the Qin State and the Longxi Wei family that lasted for more than 20 years. The Qin people, who were even poorer at that time, united as one, and secretly learned the skills of the Longxi Wei family while going to war with the latter.
They overturned Longxi Wei's, which was ahead of them in technology at the beginning.
"The military merit system was proposed at that time, right?" Zhao Hongrun asked Yangquan Jun Yingbo.
Yangquan Jun Yingbo nodded and said without any concealment: "At that time, our Da Qin was in a very difficult situation. The Wei people... no, the weapons and equipment of the Longxi people were much better than our Da Qin's. If it hadn't been for Zuo Shu Chang Wei Yang's suggestion, The military merit and title system, maybe our Great Qin has been destroyed by Longxi..." As he said, he saw Zhao Hongrun showing suspicion, and then added: "Young Master Run should have met Lintao Lord Wei Ji. In the past twenty years, I The soldiers of Qin who died in the hands of his father and son are by no means inferior to Mr. Run."
Zhao Hongrun nodded. Due to his position, he could not express too much opinions on the war between Qin and Longxi. After all, the Wei family in Longxi had been merged into his Wei state. However, he could see that the Wei family in Longxi and the Qin people had different feelings for each other. His hatred is not even the slightest bit.
Of course, the people of Qin still respect the Longxi people who are upright and aboveboard, like the lord Wei Ji of Lintao, Zhao Sheng of the Yao lords, and Wei Feng of the Wei clan of Tianshui. What the Qin people hate is the Wei clan of Longxi. In the past, there were those shameless villains who instigated the emperor Wei Litu to poke holes in their Qin villages and put the blame on the Xiqiang, in an attempt to provoke a war between the Xiqiang and Qin.
"Mr. Yangquan had a relationship with Master Wei Ji..."
Zhao Hongrun wanted to ask Yangquan Jun if he had ever fought with Lintao Jun Wei Ji, but he felt a thump on the back of his head. Immediately, snowflakes splashed all over Yangquan Jun's face.
"..."
Touching the snow on the back of his neck, Zhao Hongrun looked around, and finally turned his attention to the sleigh where Qin Shaojun and Princess Yulong were.
In his opinion, among the more than a thousand people in this team, only these two people dared to throw snowballs at him.
At this time, Qin Shaojun and Princess Yulong were already sitting in the sleigh, not squinting, but their hearts were beating fast.
Princess Yulong was frightened because she felt excited, while Qin Shaojun was frightened because he did not expect to hit Zhao Hongrun.
"Don't look back, don't look back, he's still staring at us..."
Glancing at Zhao Hongrun from the corner of her eye, Princess Yulong lowered her voice and spoke to Qin Shaojun, who was so frightened that Qin Shaojun did not dare to move.
After a long time, seeing Zhao Hongrun retract his gaze, Princess Yulong breathed out and whispered: "It's okay."
After hearing this, Qin Shaojun breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but chuckle in a low voice.
At the rear of the sleigh, Qin Shaojun's guard chief Peng Zhong sat there with a prickly look, looking at Qin Shaojun and Princess Yulong, and shook his head helplessly.
At this time, Yangquan Jun Yingbo also saw Qin Shaojun lowering his head and snickering in the distance, with a very embarrassed expression, because he had just clearly caught a glimpse of Qin Shaojun throwing the snowball with his peripheral vision, but he didn't understand it at the time. What on earth is this young gentleman doing?
Now, seeing Mr. Wei in front of him brushing the snow from his neck expressionlessly, he finally understood.
"This is really..."
Even the battle-hardened Yangquan Jun Yingbo was at a loss at this moment. He couldn't imagine that Qin Shaojun, who had always been steady and steady, would actually do such a rude behavior, and the person he was teasing was the bad-tempered person in front of him. Wei Gongzi Run.
"Master Run..."
He originally planned to apologize on behalf of Qin Shaojun, but unexpectedly, after Zhao Hongrun finished dusting the snow, he reached out and grabbed a few handfuls of snow from outside the sleigh, crushed it into two large snowballs, and then threw them towards Qin Shaojun and Princess Yulong. .
There were two "bang bang" sounds, and Qin Shaojun and Princess Yulong were each hit in the head by a snowball.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun raised his head and looked at the somewhat dumbfounded Yang Quanjun Yingbo, and put on a somewhat indifferent smile: "What did Yangquan Jun just say?"
"..." Yangquan Jun Yingbo opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"ah--!"
"Ji Run——!"
Not far away, a girl and a girl disguised as a boy screamed and angrily threw snowballs one after another.
