246. Chapter 246 The Liqian people who want to go home
After seeing off Luo Shui, Qian Wubing walked into the back house with some uneasiness. If Luo Shui hadn't suddenly arrived, he would have staged a trick of "the county master throws himself into a well" in the palace at this time.
, I don’t know if Zhu Ruoxi, who has become his woman, and his personal maid have discussed the details of this matter at this moment.
Zhu Ruoxi, who was fully dressed, was sitting in front of the dressing table, talking quietly to a little girl in green. When she heard the sound of footsteps, she raised her head and saw Qian Wubing's figure appearing from the door. She also
Without opening a word, a smile appeared on his face.
Qian Wubing smiled and nodded to her, and glanced at the little girl in green clothes. It seemed that this was the "little green" she was talking about, and she was quite pretty.
"grown ups!"
As soon as Zhu Ruoxi said these words, Qian Wubing frowned, Sir, this is too awkward!
Zhu Ruoxi's eyes rolled and she laughed. It seemed that she also felt that this title was a bit inappropriate, but for a while, it seemed that she couldn't find a suitable title to call her "him".
"Call me Wu Bing!" Qian Wu Bing coughed lightly.
"Well, no disease, Xiao Lu and I have already discussed that there is a deep well in the backyard of the palace. Xiao Lu will go and pack my clothes later, and then your people will clear out the place, and Xiao Lu will put those things away.
Throw the clothes in, and then she will yell something like "Miss fell into the well", and then your people will go over to salvage it, but of course nothing will be salvageable!"
Zhu Ruoxi spoke out the countermeasures she and Xiaolu had discussed in one breath. In fact, the soldiers under her command were all guarding them at the moment. Such actions were nothing more than deceiving others and giving an explanation to others. How to operate them specifically was not difficult at all.
.
"that's all?"
"Of course, in the end it's best to fill up the deep well. It's a mess outside right now. If we can find a woman's bones and put them into the well and then fill it up, it will be perfect, and we won't be afraid of people tracking it down in the future!"
Zhu Ruoxi's long eyelashes trembled. It was obvious that she had thought of all the details. This careful thought saved Qian Wubing a lot of things.
Qian Wubing called out: "Yan Qi!" Yan Qi, who was staying outside the door, walked in.
"Did you hear everything she said?" Qian Wubing asked. Talking from this distance could not be hidden from Yan Qi's ears. What's more, Qian Wubing had no intention of hiding it from Yan Qi.
Yan Qi nodded calmly.
"Then you and Xiao Lu will take care of this matter!" Qian Wubing waved his hand, Xiao Lu glanced at his young lady, saw Zhu Ruoxi nodded, lowered her head, and followed Yan Qi.
"You will have nothing to do with the Zhu family from now on. Even if someone investigates, I will not admit it. You must know it in your heart!" Qian Wubing was silent for a long time and said softly to Zhu Ruoxi who was sitting there.
"I know!" Zhu Ruoxi bit her lips and nodded, giving up such an identity in exchange for a brand new life. Although such a life may not be within her control, it is compared to a lifetime in that high-walled courtyard.
, this is already the difference between heaven and hell.
The two of them were speechless for a moment, and Qian Wubing couldn't find anything to talk about. He casually took out the sign that Luo Shui had just given him from his arms and started playing with it unconsciously while thinking about what Luo Shui had just told him.
I don’t know how long it took, but Qian Wubing raised his head and saw Zhu Ruoxi looking at the brand in her hand curiously. He suddenly felt that he had found a topic: "Do you know this brand?"
"I don't know, but I've seen these things a lot since I was a kid, and it looks like it's an antique!" Zhu Ruoxi's family background, in fact, Qian Wubing, a simpleton, can't compare to the antiques and treasures he has seen since he was a kid.
, there are really countless of them. When he saw Qian Wubing casually taking them out to play with, they were all antiques. He was a little curious. If this thing belonged to the palace, then that would be fine. Qian Wubing was stationed in the palace, so he got such a small item.
The thing is not difficult, the problem is, she seems to have never seen this thing before!
"Oh!" Qian Wubing handed over the sign in his hand: "It seems that your vision is a little better than mine, so take a look and see what kind of ancient relic this is. I can't tell what it is!"
Zhu Ruoxi took it and looked at it carefully anyway. No matter what she saw, Qian Wubing saw her tilting her head and holding the brand seriously with a pair of jade-like catkins, and thought it looked good.
Yes, especially the way she frowned slightly in thought, she felt as if she had stepped out of a painting.
"Why, can't you see anything?" Qian Wubing smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter, someone knows me after all!"
"It's not like I can see everything, I'm just a little strange. Look at the cloud pattern and the hairspring shadow carving. This should be a piece of ancient jade. However, I have never seen jade made of such material. It is simply too strange.
!" This is what Zhu Ruoxi was confused about.
"Then what is engraved on it, do you recognize it?" Qian Wubing became interested when he saw that she could really tell a story, so he asked.
"I know this one, it's Xiaozhuan, with the character 'Li'!" Zhu Ruoxi always felt like she had seen the sign in front of her somewhere before, but for a moment, she couldn't explain why. When she saw Qian Wubing,
As if she wanted to know the answer, she shook her head slowly: "Wait a minute, let me think about it!"
"Li, there is a saying in the Book of Rites that military affairs ride on Li. Obviously, the thing engraved on this strange jade does not refer to the black horse. King You of the Western Zhou Dynasty smiled in order to praise Si and raised a beacon fire to trick the princes in Li Mountain. Could it be said that,
This Li refers to the source. If so, it makes sense. The jade produced in Li Mountain is famous all over the world. If there is some kind of alien species that is not known to the world, it is normal!"
"It's not a place name!" Qian Wubing saw her muttering to herself and completely ignored him. He couldn't help but said, "Did you know that there is a foreign race named after Li?"
"Li clan?" Zhu Ruoxi's eyelashes fluttered several times and she looked at Qian Wubing, who seemed to think that he had said something wrong. However, when Luo Shui reported to him, this was what he said.
That's right, that's the li sound.
"Is there really such a clan?" Seeing Zhu Ruoxi's reaction, Qian Wubing became more interested. It seemed that Luo Shui's words were not completely true.
"Yes!" Zhu Ruoxi looked at Qian Wubing with some curiosity, and quickly realized that Qian Wubing was not a local official in Gansu, but from Changchang, and she was immediately relieved.
"The traces of the Li tribe can be found in the Han books, but at that time, they were not called the Li tribe, they were called the Liqian people. In the early Han Dynasty, they moved from the Western Regions to Hexi, which is now our Gansu province in the Ming Dynasty.
It is said that the imperial court settled them, set up a city, and named the country a county. This is the origin of Li County. These Liqian people were also called Li people by the people at that time. However, after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li County was destroyed
During the war, there were no records after that. Occasionally, descendants of the Li people appeared, but they were also dark-sighted and had very little knowledge of their ancestors!"
"The Li clan you are talking about should be these Liqian ethnic groups, but these are all things that have no trace!" Zhu Ruoxi handed the sign to Qian Wubing: "You will not happen to meet a descendant of the Liqian people.
This card is given to you. If so, I will keep this card. If I read it correctly, this should be a piece of Chinese jade, maybe the kind specially issued by the imperial court!"
Is this really happening?
Qian Wubing looked at the smiling Zhu Ruoxi in front of him and was stunned for a moment. Luo Shui's words reappeared in his ears half an hour ago, but at that time he just thought it was Luo Shui's fault.
He was just making up things to reduce his guilt, but at this moment, he really had to face what Luo Shui said.
"At that time, several people in Beizhong were stunned and didn't dare to move. We saw with our own eyes how cruel these Tatars were. Just when Beizhong thought that his life was about to be handed down deep in the desert,
Those people spoke, and what’s more, they spoke our Ming Dynasty dialect!”
Luo Shu's eyes showed confusion. Talking about what happened that day, he seemed to be dreaming even more now.
"Akito?"
The Tatar holding the leather shield dagger suddenly said such a sentence. Luo Shui was stunned. From this distance, he could clearly see that these Tatars they thought were not Tatars at all.
, their noses are high, their eye sockets are sunken deeply, and their eyes are green and blue. In their knowledge, there is only one kind of person like this, and that is the color-eyed person!
Ming people, Mongolians, Semu people, these people are born different, nothing can change it. Since it is the Semu people who are fighting with the Mongolian Tatars, then the Ming people who directly admit themselves will not be better than being regarded as Mongolians.
Being killed would be even worse.
Luo Shui didn't know how he nodded in recognition. Anyway, his self-proclaimed knowledgeable mind couldn't analyze what happened next.
Seeing them nodding, the leader-looking man briefly spoke to him in Ming dialect. After getting their affirmative reply, the tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared. He even saw the people behind the leader.
The joy on the soldier's face could not be concealed.
Then, they were disarmed and brought to the oasis by these people, where he met their leader, a group of leaders.
No one thought that this tribe was actually ruled by a group of people. Everything was discussed and decided by these leaders. This was naturally unbelievable in Luo Shui's eyes. Before he could finish lamenting this strange way of ruling,
At that time, these leaders, using their stumbling words, made them a request that they could not refuse.
They go to Daming!
In their words, they want to go home! And these leaders are very proud to call their tribe the Li tribe!
