Volume 4: Laughing when drunk and making consensual wishes, waking up from a dream and sighing in vain

In the 22nd year of Chonghuang in the Great Qin Dynasty, in the early morning of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, heavy snow fell from the capital of the Great Qin Empire. As the saying goes, "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest", and New Year's Eve is approaching, the people in the capital are overjoyed and go out to the streets to enjoy the snow scene.

At this time, at the south gate, an officer from the Ministry of Rites was tearing off yesterday's old notice and pasting the latest notice today.

The residents of the capital who were enjoying the snow nearby surrounded the crowd. The literate people all stood on tiptoe and wanted to take a look at the new things today. The illiterate people were also full of expectations, hoping to learn some information from others' words and talk to others.

Two Beijing residents who were crowded to the top of the list were talking:

"What's the above?"

"Didn't you see it? The wolf lord Tuobazhi met us yesterday!"

"Hey, this is the matter, so I know this. I said not long ago that I would have a peace talk yesterday. By the way, did you agree?"

"The notice has agreed. From today on, we will tell the world that the Qin and the Wolf countries will have good friendship from now on, and will not fight, the border will be open, and trade will be connected."

"Then the Wolf provoked the war and stopped pursuing it? Just make friends with me?"

"That's right? The emperor has many weapons? Tuobazhi has come to apologize in person, and the court will definitely not blame him."

"Hey, that's true. Think about it carefully. Although they were the wolf who fought over a few years ago, we all know that we are always the ones who are defeated by the good news here every year."

"That's right. Long live the Great Qin Emperor is wise and powerful. Not only are we loved by the people, but our country is as stable as Mount Tai. This time, the peace talks were successful and our country was powerful. As the people of the Great Qin Emperor, we are truly blessed with great blessings."

"Hi, as New Year's Eve approached, it snowed heavily at first, and now there are such good things. It's really God bless Daqin, and God bless Long live Chonghuang..."

In a blink of an eye, the day passed, and the people who went out to the streets all returned home and began to prepare for tomorrow's New Year's Eve. All the shops closed early. After all, the guys also wanted to have a good New Year, so there was no need to miss the family reunion tomorrow to earn one or two days of wages.

The 29th, New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year are the quietest and uninhabited days of the whole street in the year...

At this time, Tuobazhi and his party were in the mansion in the capital.

While tasting the famous wine in the capital - osmanthus wine, Tuobazhi ate the roast duck, white meat in casserole, crystal elbow and other food that the servant had just raised, turned his head and said to Nalan Linglong:

"Madam, have you heard that the news of the successful peace talks this morning have been sent?"

"Yes, my husband, this morning, the Emperor of Qin sent someone to post a notice in the capital and sent a postman to rush to various places to inform the news." Nalan Linglong replied.

"Haha, it's great. When the news reaches the border and the border opens, we wolves will be able to enter the gate from now on, see the wind of the Great Qin, and learn skills at the same time, benefit our country." Tuobazhi's eyes shining at this time, with expectations in his eyes.

Nalan Linglong frowned slightly, then spoke:

"You came to Qin this time, and there was no leader in the country. Zhulu was still young and it was inconvenient to supervise the country. So you handed over all matters between the two brothers Tuobahar. Can his temper allow the people to enter the Qin Dynasty freely?"

Tuobazhi was stunned for a moment, then sighed:

"Oh... this is how my second brother is. He is the illegitimate child of his father. His biological mother was killed by the people of the Central Plains. Therefore, he hated the people of the Central Plains since childhood. After becoming an adult, he has been coveting the Qin State of the Central Plains for a long time. He is one of the most eager people in the country, so he also supported me to start a war with the Qin Dynasty two years ago. After returning this time, I have to persuade him that his hatred with the people of the Central Plains who killed his mother cannot spread to the entire Central Plains. He should come to the Central Plains to see the fertile land here. The customs of the people here, and he will know that our pursuit of peace is not only because of the unfavorable war, but also other reasons that truly benefit the people."

"Well, I hope that after returning home, my husband can persuade Tuobahar so that I and him will no longer be cold-faced because of their different political views." Nalan Linglong smiled slightly and replied.

"What the wife said is very... But then again, the Emperor Qin Zhengan of the Great Qin can really be called a wise king!" The wolf lord Tuobazhi couldn't help but show a look of praise in his eyes.

Nalan Linglong nodded and said:

"That's right, my husband, this Emperor Chonghuang, is first-class in terms of his words and deeds, and his achievements. He is worthy of being a wise ruler in the Qin State in the past three hundred years. He is known as Emperor Yongshuo, who founded the founding emperor, founded Emperor Yu, and expanded his territory."

"I appreciate the words he said in his conversation yesterday, "Everyone who is beneficial to others will do it, and if anyone who is not beneficial to others will get rid of it. No matter how big or small, the heart will be endless." It was so good that it ended up in my heart."

"Your husband can always remember this sentence in your heart, practice it, and benefit the people. One day, you will definitely become a wise ruler in the history of the Wolf Kingdom, who is ranked alongside our ancestors."

"I hope that the day when the Wilderness Wolf becomes as powerful as the Great Qin Dynasty can come sooner. However, it may take a long time to go, and we may not be able to see it. When we see this scenery, we can only hand over to Zhulu and his descendants."

"I can strive for this direction, my husband, I believe I will do it one day."

"I'll borrow a good word from my wife, haha... By the way, my wife, do you know the origin of the four people behind Qin Zhengan the day before yesterday?"

"Looking at their clothes, they should be the legendary 'Four Saints'."

"Four Saints?"

"There are four major sects in the Central Plains, which are the most powerful among the famous and upright sects of the Qin Dynasty and supported and supported by the court. Many princes and children of officials worshipped under these four major sects and countless good players. The leaders of these four major sects have been called the "Four Saints" and are synonymous with the names of the four major beasts in ancient books."

"Oh? It sounds quite meaningful. Who are the four saints now?"

“There are—

Qinglong: Feng Yihong, the head of Tianjue Sect

White Tiger: The Lord of Zhenliang Palace Yu Jiuqiu

Suzaku: The owner of the Nine Turn Hall Miao Nanpu

Xuanwu: Master Zhenxing, abbot of Qingyan Temple.”

"This organization called 'Qin Lin' is really terrible. It has actually recruited four such terrible experts."

"It's not all. In addition to the Four Saints, there are four evil spirits. The four evil spirits are coded from the four evil beasts in ancient books, namely Qian Du, Qiongqi, Jian Wu, and Taotie. It is said that their skills are not inferior to the Four Saints, and their identities are unknown and change at any time."

"Why does the identity of the four evil spirits change?"

"In fact, it's not unusual. The four evil spirits are composed of a group of people with sensitive identities, such as abandoned sects, killers of the martial arts, masters of the devil. In order to seek protection and rewards from the court, they then compete with each other for the title of the four evil spirits, and the winner in the final competition retains the title of the four evil spirits. And when you become one of the four evil spirits, once someone stronger than you defeats you, your previous title will belong to him."

"Awesome, there are people outside of people, and there are people outside of heaven. I am the strongest warrior of the Wolf Clan. I thought my martial arts were invincible in the world, but who knew that when I came to the Central Plains, there were at least four. Oh no, the martial arts of eight people were not inferior to me. Qin was indeed a master of earth spirits, which is truly admirable."

"Hehe, the four saints and four evil spirits are already the strongest in the world. You are not a match for them. It is not wrong to say that your husband is invincible in the world. Besides, we don't know whether the four evil spirits exist. Maybe it's just a code name, but there is no real person. In this way, there are only four people who are invincible in the world as your husband."

"Mrs. What are their responsibilities for these four saints and four evildoers, or the organization "Qin Lin"?"

"The four saints and four leaders stayed in the capital, protected the emperor and guarded the capital. They can command the Imperial Army and other personal troops affiliated with the emperor. Four people stayed in the capital in turn a year, each of whom stayed for three months; the others in Qin Lin were directly subordinate to the emperor and carried out tasks. It is said that the contenders of the Four Evils and the Four Evils were carried out some unknown secret tasks."

Tuoba Zhidao:

"The four saints gathered together, and they were indeed imposing, but this was a little petty. Are they afraid that I would assassinate their Emperor of Qin?"

Nalan Linglong replied:

"I think Qin Zhengan is not like this. Maybe the four saints gather together, for another reason. But I know their Qin so well, but the Qin people know nothing about our wild wolf situation. If they see that your wolf crown is missing, I will go with you, and you will know that we are coming to have a sincere peace this time."

Tuobazhi couldn't help but reach out to the wolf crown next to the table, touched the hole in the wolf crown's right tooth, and echoed:

"Yes, the order of the founding ancestors of the Wolf Wolf, the wolf crown is easy, but the right tooth cannot be replaced. All the Wolf people recognize the right tooth first and then the king. Only the wolf kings in the wolf crown have been inlaid with this right tooth that has been passed down for thousands of years can be called the real wolf king and be qualified to mobilize hundreds of thousands of heroic troops. However, I left the wolf crown right tooth for Zhulu on this trip, but I did not bring it with me. I thought it would be enough to reassure the people of the Central Plains and show my sincerity in the peace talks, but they knew nothing about it, which made me was wasted some thoughts. Moreover, the two factions in our country have us as representatives, which can better reflect our position..."

Nalan Linglong joked:

"Okay, husband, you have now started to learn to talk around. After all, you have to say that you love Zhulu the most, and even left the right teeth that represent the authority of the Wolf King to him. In fact, why do you say it out loud? Who doesn't know that we have a good son who makes you extremely proud?"

"Well..." Tuobazhi was teased and snatched by his wife, and he couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to ponder. However, when it comes to his son Tuoba Zhulu, he still couldn't help but show his pride on his face.

"Okay OK OK, I won't tease you anymore. Husband, please sit down for now. I'll let you go to the kitchen to see, why has the first tofu that we have been thinking about for a long time not yet released?"

Nalan Linglong walked out and called on his servants...

"A major event has been decided and the two countries have a good relationship. This is a great joy. When the wife is so virtuous, the political views of their sect will be widely accepted when she returns. I will be able to pass on the throne and compete with the wife who has worked hard for half her life and live a carefree and happy life. This is the second greatest joy."

"Happiness is more joyful, this is the 'good thing in pairs' in the idioms of Central Plains..." Tuobazhi thought in his heart, and couldn't help but be happy.

He looked at his wife's back as he left the room, and the corners of his mouth were unconsciously raised slightly.

Heavy snow is still falling...
