Chapter 39: Why Did King Ning's Mother Die? ......
Located at the foot of the Ke Wolf Mountain, Zhizhi City is different from the Central Plains City, it has neither walls nor strict guards, and although it is the capital, it does not even have permanent residents, as if it is just a post station in the desert for pedestrians from south to north.
Nai Man sat in the king's tent, looking at the person with his head wrapped in black cloth and only missing a pair of eyes, his rough face trembled, and he sneered: "What are you doing with me a broken painting, there are so many similar people under the sky, who can prove that this is her?"
"Isn't it? If you caught that Xiao Mingchen and went to the altar to burn to death, don't you know? The man in black opened his mouth in the Central Plains official language. He raised his right hand and took off his hood and veil, his old face was decayed and thin, and his sideburns were gray, and it was Wang Mao who should have died under the cliff of Anshan.
He stretched his brown-covered neck and said, "Great Khan, the south of Zhizhi City was attacked by the Xia Family Army, and now there is a mess outside. It is very likely that Xia Feng led people to make trouble, don't you go out of the city to see it yourself?
"Hmph, the remnants of the army are defeated, there is no need to worry. Nai Man was unimpressed, and laughed loudly: "Do you think that my grassland child lang is as cowardly and inactive as you Central Plains people? The warriors of the steppe, who can eat and carry knives, have fought all their lives, and if they die, they are incompetent. The
flesh at the corner of Wang Mao's mouth trembled invisibly, and he only glanced coldly at the person in power.
The Tianhe River babbles through the desert, and the oases along it nurture tens of thousands of living beings. With Xia Feng's order, the Northwest Army quickly rushed up the Tianhe River, with horses' hooves and dirt splashing.
"Most of the desert merchants in the city of Zhizhi are from south to north, and they are never nosy, and we don't have to deal with them. Xia Feng drove the horse first and shouted loudly, "Brother remembered, entered the city and went straight to the king's tent, only killing the Qiang soldiers, and ignoring the others.
Xiao Mingchen was surrounded by layers and mixed in the army, and this time he was not left alone outside the city to wait, but entered the city with the army.
Qian Shan was assigned an important task, leading a small team of guards to take care of the safety of His Royal Highness King Ning step by step. After sharpening her sword, she couldn't kill the enemy wantonly, so angry that she threw Yu Handan, who was beside Xia Feng, a face.
The real royal court of the Qiang people is hidden in the depths of Mobei, where the golden tents of successive khans and the roots of the eight nobles of the Qiang tribe lie.
Zhizhi City is just a wartime capital set up by Naiman in recent years to facilitate the use of troops against Daqing.
Except for the Qiang soldiers and a few tribal nobles in the city, everyone else came for profit and gathered for wealth, and when they saw the Xia family military flag raised in the wind, they immediately scattered birds and beasts. They already have no fixed place to live, they run neatly, and they go headlong into the desert, and it is not easy to stop them with thousands of troops.
Most of the Qiang troops were still too late to be transferred back in the northern territory of Daqing, and the city was empty. Xia Feng had a halberd in his hand, all the way unimpeded, entered the city and went straight to the king's tent, God blocked and killed God, Buddha blocked and killed Buddha.
The Qiang army messenger saw the sudden change, and there was no time to enter the city to report, and he was slashed under the horse with a knife.
"What sound? Nai Man heard the slashing sound of the shadows outside, and he shot up, and before he got out of the big tent, he saw the messengers climbing into the tent with a roll, and hurriedly reported: "Big Khan, yes, it's Xia Feng, they killed in!"
Wang Mao instantly lost his hypocrisy and composure, and his left shoulder, which had lost his arm, trembled uncontrollably. He pinched it with hatred with his right hand, which was as withered as an eagle's claw, and his face was like a demon in the world, viciously torn, and he let out a piercing scream: "It's her, it's her coming." Nai
Man's face was fierce, he picked up the steel knife on the rack, and slashed at the messenger on the ground: "Wang Xiangye, it's just a girl, according to your Zhongyuan's words, the milk smell is not dry!"
"Great Khan, don't forget what you promised me. Wang Mao hesitated for a long time, climbed up with one hand, and said compassionately, "To deal with Xia Feng, just grab Xiao Mingchen, just like you did with Hua Ru back then, and burn him on the altar." As long as you burn him, the gods can send blessings and help you rule the world.
Nai Man looked back at him, pity mixed with contempt, like looking at a dying prey, feeling sad and secretly excited: "The fall of the Holy Lady twenty years ago was the loss of my desert. Wang Xiang, bless yourself, I hope this is not the last time we meet. "
Burn him, burn..." Wang Mao muttered while standing in place, his left shoulder shaking uncontrollably, until the sound of slashing and killing approached, and then he hurriedly put on a hood and face towel and mixed into the chaotic crowd.
Xia Feng saw from a distance the person who walked out with a steel knife in the king's tent, and the halberd swung out, and the blood of the Qiang soldiers was splattered within one zhang. She broke through the encirclement, beat the horse and quickly approached the perimeter of the king's tent, and said loudly: "Naiman, I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you running?"
"Xia Feng, you are really bold! Nai Man turned on his horse, and a large number of Qiang troops quickly surrounded him, he looked left and right, and praised, "The lone army goes deep, and the bottom of the cauldron is drawn, it is really good."
"Yo, I've been learning new words lately." Xia Feng stopped and looked directly at Nai Man, his lifelong opponent. She raised her eyebrows, shook her head and sighed: "I really admire your attitude to study, one day I will reopen the Wenju in Daqing, how about you come to take the exam?"
"Unfortunately, there won't be that day." Nai Man smiled, his light brown eyes staring at her tightly, like a wolf meeting its prey, fierce and greedy. He raised his voice and shouted in Qiang: "Warriors, offer your sincerity to the gods and saints, kill her!" "
Xia Feng understood the Qiang language, and used to think that the word 'holy girl' was just a proxy reference, like the 'queen mother and mother' and 'land gong' in the Central Plains. Now it seems that this holy girl turned out to be a specific woman.
Twenty years ago, the saint was Hua Ru, but what now? Is the saint they keep defending the same woman who died in a foreign land?
The steel knives of the elite soldiers of the Qiang tribe all pointed at Xia Feng, who was alone, and she returned to her senses, looked coldly at Nai Man, who led the soldiers away, and swept down a group of enemy troops with a flip of her wrist.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the Xia Zishuai flag was raised. The Northwest Army quickly broke through the siege and gathered around Xia Feng to protect the commander.
Xia Feng cut off the Red Snake Qiang Banner, looked at Yu Handan, and ordered: "Yu Handan, Wang Mao has a broken arm, and he will definitely not run far." You lead a team of people to search the city, make sure to find him for me!" "
Ordered. Yu Han turned his horse's head and turned to leave, and heard her hesitate to add: "Also, tell Qian Shan to protect His Royal Highness King Ning, and never let the barbarians see him." "
Nai Man led the main army to leave, clearly abandoning the city. The sound of slashing and killing around gradually subsided, and there were large areas of blood on the king's tent, corpses everywhere, and bloody qi was pervasive.
Wars on the grasslands were more common than meals, and the Qiang people had no fixed place to live and did not care about land and cities. The gold and cattle and sheep given by the gods are the things they care about the most.
Ordinary Qiang people are accustomed to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood even if they are not good at fighting. The invasion of foreign races, and the blood on the ground did not affect them much. They pack up their belongings and it won't be long before they reach the next oasis.
Several noble elders who didn't have time to run were driven trembling to kneel in front of Xia Feng, and shouted, "Honorable General Daqing, we... We just came with the Great Khan, never crossed your border a step, never robbed your cattle and sheep. "
What bird language is noisy?" "The Qianshan people arrived before the voice. She followed Xiao Mingchen, stepped on a piece of embarrassment, and walked to the king's tent.
Yu Wei explained in a low voice: "They say that they are also forced. He
led someone to dig the ground three feet and did not find Wang Mao's shadow, just in time for Xia Feng to be in a bad mood, and he was just scolded in ashes.
"Bah! Qian Shan carried a sword in one hand and crossed his waist with the other, "Your aunt and I have never killed anyone, do you believe it?"
Xia Feng caught a glimpse of Xiao Mingchen's thin and slender figure, and suddenly began to be unbearable. When the person approached, his face was gloomy and pale, obviously uncomfortable, but he looked at himself worriedly.
She felt that she was simply a stone with little affection, and she was not soft at all when she was looked at so pitifully. Hardened his heart, he asked in Qiang: "How was the saint selected?" And what does it do? Inside the cityIs there a trace of her?
"The holy daughter of our clan was chosen from the noble daughter of the snake tribe, and the holy girl inherits the mandate of heaven and is able to communicate with the heavenly gods and bring well-being to the people of the clan. The eldest white-bearded elder said.
Xiao Mingchen was also in the clouds, looking at Yu Han with Qian Shan. Yu Han was about to open his mouth to explain, but after receiving Xia Feng's warning eyes, he instantly shut up and turned himself into a stuffy gourd.
Xia Feng pondered for a moment and asked, "What is the destiny of inheriting the heavens, and how did you choose it?" Also, what did the altar on Ke Wolf Mountain do, and how did Huairu die? "
Hua Ru just took two words with close pronunciation as a name, and Xiao Mingchen's mother was called Huairu, which means saint.
"Every generation of holy women was born when the previous generation of holy women fell, and since childhood, they were raised by the great elders of the snake department, and learned to communicate with the heavenly gods, and the altar is the place where the holy women practice. The white-bearded elder suddenly paused and choked up without saying a word: "This generation of holy women, she was ... Sacrifice to the gods. "
