Ying Zhan said: "It's the Duke of Ming Dynasty, Miao Yi, what's wrong with you?"
When Miaoyi heard this, her heart immediately relaxed. How could that unscrupulous prodigal from Qingzhou become the Duke of the Ming Dynasty? He must be someone with the same name. The color returned to her face and she smiled.
: "Ah! It's nothing. I remember that in my hometown, there was a neighbor named Yang Xu. When you told me, I was shocked!"
Ying Zhan couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Madam must have been away from her hometown for a long time, and she misses her hometown a little... Haha, I remember the lady said that she has lived in Daming Mansion, Hebei for generations, right? Haha, this auxiliary Duke Yang Xu is a child.
I live in Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province."
Miao Yi's face changed again, and her voice couldn't help but tremble: "Shan... Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong!"
"What's wrong, madam?"
"Oh, it's okay. I just wanted to sleep, but my clothes are a little thin. I feel a little cold after talking to you for a while!"
Miao Yi quickly stood up, walked to the corner, took a few pieces of animal charcoal and put it into the stove. Before he could straighten up, a piece of clothing was already draped over him. Ying Zhan said with concern: "Madam, put on your clothes first, or go to bed."
Let’s talk after you cover yourself with a quilt!”
Miao Yi tightened her clothes, shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter, it's much warmer now, you can continue talking."
"good!"
Ying Zhan did not have any doubts about his wife's strangeness. He accompanied Miao Yi back to the table, they both sat down, thought for a moment, and then said: "As for the life of this Fu Guo Gong, I heard that he came with him
Sir Sehazhi, the commander of the Beijing camp, said that this Yang Xu was a capable man. When the emperor was still King Yan, no one thought highly of him, and all the scholars called him a traitor and traitor.
Hey! This Yang Xu is a scholar from Qingzhou who originally had a great future, but he just took a fancy to the King of Yan who seemed to be destroyed day and night under the pressure of the imperial army. He not only surrendered to the King of Yan, but also sneaked into Jinling and rescued the imprisoned King.
The three princes who were held hostage, oh, it is said that he was originally from Jiangnan. He came to Qingzhou because his father was doing business. He is one of the richest families in Qingzhou..."
When Miao Yi heard this, her face turned white, her whole body was cold, her heart was beating wildly, like a frightened little animal. At this point, she had no doubt anymore, it was him! It was really him! That shameless person,
The bastard who played tricks on their mother and son, causing their family to be destroyed, actually... is still here! She has already hid in Dunhuang and fled to the horizon. Why does this pain and humiliation still follow her?
Fortunately, Ying Zhan was deep in thought and didn't notice the change in her expression. She took a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down.
Ying Zhan pondered and said: "He is the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally he will not talk nonsense. He said that the Ming Dynasty would never abandon the Western Regions, and should not pretend to quickly renew Timur and be invincible in the west. However, he knew that he would conquer the east and planned
Holy war, but the Ming court was still at war with Annan and the Tatars at the same time. It seems that the Ming court did not regard Timur as an unstoppable enemy!
Their strategy completely lacked the considerations after the fall of Hexi. Based on what I saw in Gansu Town, the Ming court must have considered this. It seems that the Ming court had great control over the defense of Jiayuguan. Tiemur came all the way here
, if we cannot capture Jiayuguan and persist with the Ming Dynasty for a long time, then the Ming court will definitely win in the end. Miao Yi, this is where I am in trouble.
Ming Dynasty, we must not rebel, otherwise we will be at a disadvantage if Tamerlane leaves! But once Tamerlane comes, how can we compete with him with our strength? I am not sure now, whether to abandon my homeland and retreat to the pass for the time being.
In order to accept the protection of the Ming Dynasty, it is better to wait until Tamerlane arrives and make concessions with him in order to protect ourselves."
Miao Yi was in a state of confusion, fearful and ashamed. All the things about the girl that she had long sealed away in the depths of her memory were all coming to mind at this moment. She was in a daze and couldn't pick up the words.
Ying Zhan was still analyzing: "It would be easy to retreat to Jiayuguan. Chief Shenglong also mentioned that he would invite us to visit at the foot of Tanggula Mountain. But this time, we can only take away our wealth, and our family business will definitely suffer huge losses.
.If we stay, I don’t know what step Timur’s people will go to, and whether they will treat each other leniently for the sake of their fellow race and religion.
Miaoyi, I originally planned to go to Bielse Bali to explore the news about Timur. I paved the way in advance, but now I am really in a dilemma. If I make a wrong step, I will be doomed. Difficult! Difficult!
"
Ying Zhan actually didn't want Miao Yi to help him make decisions, but when he had some difficult matters on his mind, he liked to talk to his favorite woman. After talking about the matter, he felt much calmer. At this time, Miao Yi
His expression returned to normal, Ying Zhan talked nonchalantly for a while, then left her room and spent the night at his first wife's residence.
After Ying Zhan left, Miao Yi's heart was boiling and she could no longer sleep. The humiliation that once made her want to commit suicide in shame has gradually healed after so many years. Now she has a painful
Her husband also gave birth to two sons for her husband. She was very happy as a wife and mother. She thought she could say goodbye to her absurd past and live peacefully in this desert oasis for the rest of her life, but suddenly
When she heard Yang Xu's name and suddenly learned that he was here, her heart could no longer calm down.
Miao Yi changed out of her nightgown and put on warm cold clothes. She was wearing a fox fur and crane cloak, a Zhaojun lying rabbit warmer on her head, and a sable wind collar. She was already a graceful and noble young woman from a rich family. She came out gracefully.
At the door of the room and in the outer room, two maids hurriedly came to greet them. Miaoyi only waved her hands gently, and they bowed and retreated.
Miao Yi walked to the corridor, raised his head and stared at the bright stars in the sky. After staring for a long time, he walked along the left corridor.
After passing through several doors, Miao Yi stopped quietly in front of the pavilion of a single courtyard. The lamp hanging under the corridor reflected her figure. The wind blew the lamp, and the lamp shook its head, causing her to float back and forth on the snow.
, the wind carried a crisp sound of wooden fish.
Miao Yi stretched out her hand to knock on the door, when a sound of brass came from Youdi, causing her to immediately clear her tomb: "Why did you come here? What did you say to your mother? She has already... cleansed the ancient Buddha, why bother to do it again?"
To disturb her peace?"
After standing in silence for a long time, Miao Yi sighed quietly, turned around and walked along the way he came, walking on the clear sky, and with the sound of wooden fish "harp and harp", he seemed to have a sense of coming out of the world...
"Hurry up, hurry up, what's wrong with not eating anything? If it weren't for your strong bodies and pitiful condition, I would be too lazy to use you and work so slowly!"
A big man with a beard cursed and ordered the hired workers to load the truck.
This is the caravan of the Shazhou Zhang family. The head of the family is named Zhang Buyu. It is said that his ancestor is a descendant of Zhang Yichao, the hero of the Shazhou Uprising in the late Tang Dynasty. At that time, Zhang Yichao unified the eleven states of Guasha and dominated the Western Regions.
In Hexi, although the Zhang family has declined, it is still a powerful family in Shazhou.
The hired workers have been carrying silk and tea for a while. Foreign merchants like to inquire about business matters, where the price of horses is high, where the price of fur is fair, where silk brocade is cheap, where
The tea and salt utensils are of high quality and cheap, and otherwise I would just ask where the wine and food are delicious, and where the kiln ladies are charming, but this Tuoba Mingde especially likes to ask about military matters."
Yu Jian looked around vigilantly, wary of anyone approaching, and continued to listen to what he said. Deng Di said: "He just came from Beshwabali. He didn't catch up with the Duke of Fu entering the city, so he pretended to be interested in the ceremony of the Duke.
, ask people how many people Duke Fu has brought, what weapons and equipment they have, which wealthy families are powerful on the sandbank, their own cavalry is stronger, and so on..."
Yu Jian listened and glanced at Tuoba Mingde, a businessman from Bali who was chatting and joking with several foremans not far away. If this person was really Timur's spy...
A strange light suddenly flashed in Yu Jian's eyes!
