Bei Gongyan was starving when she suddenly smelled an alluring fragrance. She raised her head with difficulty and saw a pretty maid standing in front of the prison car holding her nose. The mouth-watering fragrance came from the maid's hand. Emitted from the porcelain bowl.
This maid was naturally Lan Nier. This was the first time she approached the prison car and saw Bei Gongyan face to face. The prison car was brought from Zuli County last night. It was just dirty and smelled of mold. Lanier subconsciously covered her nose and said in a low voice: "My wife asked me to bring this here. Eat it quickly!"
Bei Gongyan was indeed hungry. She no longer cared about looking at Lan Nier's frosty face. She couldn't wait to take the porridge bowl and drank it in big gulps. Bei Gongyan drank all the porridge in one go. He looked at Lanier with unfinished expression.
Lanier grabbed the empty bowl without politeness, turned around and left.
"Wait!" Bei Gongyan suddenly stopped Lan Nier and struggled to squeeze out a few words, "I want to see Madam." [
Liu Xin made it very clear last night that she would not give her food until she explained clearly. Now the lady in the mouth of this pretty maid has been sent delicious vegetable porridge. What does this mean? It means that this lady is kind-hearted. And Women are often the easiest to sympathize with women's experiences. If you tell your story to this lady, will she help you? Bei Gongyan made a decision almost instantly.
Lanier paused for a moment, then walked away without looking back.
After listening to Lanier's report, Diao Chan frowned and said in deep thought: "Master, you are really willing to lock such a fragrant girl in that smelly cage. Forget it, I still see her. Just one side."
Liu Xin turned to Lanier and asked, "Can you use a knife?"
Lanier was stunned and nodded vigorously. Adult Hun women could go to the battlefield just like men. Although she was still young, she had also practiced horse arching since she was a child.
Liu Xin pulled out a flying knife from her waist and handed it to Lanier, saying: "Take this, if she dares to do anything wrong, kill her!"
Lanier couldn't help but tremble, but she still took the flying knife and nodded seriously. Diao Chan shook her head and said, "Master, you must be too careful."
After a while, Bei Gongyan was escorted outside the tent by two guards. Lanier followed closely with a flying knife in her hand and a nervous expression. The flying knife in her hand was just a small dagger. She needs to use this dagger to protect Madam's safety. The burden on her shoulders is too heavy because she has never killed anyone before.
Bei Gongyan felt the maid force herself and walked into the tent involuntarily. However, she could feel that the little maid's hands were shaking a little, and even the voice of the announcement was also a little out of shape.
After entering the big tent, Bei Gongyan raised her head and looked around. It was quiet inside. There was only a woman sitting sideways behind the tables, and no one was seen. Although she could only see the side, Bei Gongyan was sure that this woman The person must have a beautiful figure. Probably after hearing Lanier's report, the woman slowly turned around and said with a smile: "You are Bei Gongyan, why do you want to see me?"
Bei Gongyan was stunned for a moment. The woman in front of her was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen in her life. There was no one else. That kind of beauty could not be described in words. In front of her, she was like an ugly frog. .This woman was not only beautiful, but her voice was also very soft and sweet, as if there was a shaped hand caressing her soul and dispelling all the anger in her chest.
Suddenly, Lanier's voice sounded behind her at an inappropriate time: "Why are you so dazed! Madam is asking you something!"
Lanier deliberately made herself cruel, so that if this woman wanted to harm Madam, she could do it.
A crisp sound of "Ding Ding Dangdang", Beiyongyan had dragged heavy handcuffs and fell to the ground, and he tipped his head again and again: "The slaves are brave, ask the wife to be the master."
Diao Chan raised her hand and said, "If you have any grievances, get up and speak."
Bei Gongyan saw that this beautiful lady was really amiable, so she struggled to get up from the ground and told all her troubles. It turned out that her sweetheart not only came from Shaodang, the enemy of Xianling, but also the leader of Shaodang. Ke Muzhi's beloved son Ke Muji. Ke Muzhi and Beigong Boyu once had a fight to seize the position of leader of the Qiang people. Even though they reluctantly came together with the persuasion of the leaders of the various tribes, they were always at odds with each other. Therefore, It was impossible for Bei Gong Boyu to agree to give his beloved daughter to Ke Muzhi's son. Bei Gong Yan and Ke Muji were privately engaged for life. Due to Bei Gong Boyu's character, Bei Gong Yan did not dare to tell this matter. His own father, however, was unwilling to be given away by his father to a strange Han Chinese, so he decided to plot against Liu Xin. In fact, she was already prepared to die at that time.
Diao Chan was indeed very sympathetic to Bei Gongyan's experience, and said lovingly: "You silly boy, why don't you think about the consequences of doing things? Let me ask you, do you still want to do harm to my master now?"
Bei Gongyan looked down at the dark handcuffs and shackles, and shook her head with a wry smile. She thought it was too simple. In her impression, those Han officials were all lustful, but weak and weak. She was a scholar, so she dared to take risks. The result surprised her. Not only was the Han man handsome, but he was also incredibly strong and his reactions were surprisingly quick. And in this situation, even if she wanted to attack Liu Xin, she would not It's possible. Besides, after being locked up in the prison car for a day and a night, she also figured out a lot of things. She couldn't risk the lives of the entire family just because of her own momentary happiness.
Diao Chan nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's very good. I will make the decision for you. Lanier, ask someone to remove her shackles, and then take her down to take a bath and change clothes." ."[
Just as Lan Nier took Bei Gongyan out, Liu Xin slowly walked in from behind the big tent, came to Diao Chan, and scolded softly: "Why did you let her go? This person acted so impulsively. , but he is a dangerous person."
Diao Chan rolled her eyes and said, "It's not all because you took advantage of sex and ruined a good marriage."
"What's going on here?" Liu Xin shook her head helplessly and said, "It's up to you, but you have to be careful yourself. It seems that the Qiang clan is calm on the surface, but the water inside is very muddy! "
After procrastinating and walking for three more days, the team finally arrived at Wuwei County. Wuwei Governor Yang Fu led all the officials in the city and the leaders of the Qiang tribes who had arrived earlier and went out ten miles outside the city to greet them. The scene was very grand. Beigong Boyu Standing at the front of the crowd, he saw at a glance Bei Gongqian and Bei Gongyan, a pair of aunts and nephews, riding horses with smiles on their faces, following closely behind Liu Xin, both wearing Han women's buns.
To be honest, Beigong Boyu still loved his little daughter in every possible way. If the temptation of being able to unify all the Qiang tribes hadn't been too great, he would have been reluctant to dedicate Beigong Yan to Liu Xin. After the assassination that day, although Liu Xin did not punish him, but he was still on tenterhooks, worried that Liu Xin would come to settle accounts later, and worried about his daughter's safety.
Looking at Bei Gong Yan's situation, not only did she not suffer, but she seemed to be favored by Liu Xin. Bei Gong Boyu knew best what kind of character her daughter was. That girl accepted death. What she wanted to do, Jiu Even the cow could not be pulled back. Now, Bei Gong Yan not only gave up the idea of assassinating Liu Xin, but also seemed to be very comfortable with the current situation. Bei Gong Boyu couldn't help but secretly admired that Liu Xin's charm was indeed extraordinary, and she could actually make people His daughter has changed her temper. However, he is even more happy that with these two women to give Liu Xin some support, it will not be difficult for him to realize his wish to regain the power of the Qiang people.
In the prefecture of Wuwei County, pigs and sheep were slaughtered, and a grand reception banquet was held as scheduled. Originally, Liu Xin's temperament did not like these red tapes, but today he still has an important task, which is to completely pacify these Qiang leaders. Most of these Qiang leaders had a forthright character, so Liu Xin simply relaxed and drank happily with these powerful chiefs.
After drinking for three rounds, the Le Jie Qiang leader Ba Ji stood up and said: "Master Liu, our tribe is a small tribe and we have nothing to offer to you. I hunted these bear paws in the mountains myself. I hope you don't dislike them."
The Le Jie tribe only has more than 3,000 people. It is indeed just a small tribe. It would not be Ba Zhu’s turn to speak first at such a gathering. But Ba Zhu had thought about it before he came. Now that Liu Xin has implemented equality between Han and Qiang, they Le Jie Qiang People are already on an equal footing with the Han people. Do we still need to look at the eyes of those big tribes?
As soon as he said this, Ke Muzhi couldn't sit still at first, and sneered: "Ba Zhi, Mr. Liu has never seen anything, but you have the nerve to offer a pair of bear paws as a treasure without losing the face of us Qiang people! Come here!" Man, come get my gift!"
At the last meeting of leaders of various tribes, Ke Muzhi lost to Beigong Boyu and lost his position as the leader of the Qiang people. This time he was well prepared. He saw clearly that he wanted to gain the say of the entire Qiang people. , only with the support of Liu Xin.
In order to get Liu Xin's support, Ke Muzhi worked really hard. As he shouted, a group of Qiang girls dressed in jingle were outside the hall and filed in, each girl holding a jingle in their hands. Exquisite wooden trays. Some wooden trays contained ivory, some contained rhinoceros horns, and some contained beads the size of pigeon eggs. All kinds of gold, silver, and jade articles made the whole hall suddenly glow. Hui.
Bei Gong Boyu was shocked. What a big deal this guy made. He probably couldn't even take out so many rare jewels. However, at such a critical moment, Bei Gong Boyu couldn't give in. Fortunately, he took a step ahead. Thinking of this, Beigong Boyu's face returned to calmness, and he laughed loudly: "Ke Muzhi, what hasn't Mr. Liu seen? Are you the only one who can handle these things?"
