Chapter 429
At that time, Tuoba Han hadn't quelled the civil war, and he didn't want to start a war with Han because of a princess, so he had to give up, but this also became a thorn in his heart, after all, his elite team died because of this woman.
Holding his breath, Tuoba Han spent three years eradicating all the remnants of Tuoba Qi, and then spent another ten years recuperating, increasing the population, and cultivating fighters.
Then, every year, secret agents were sent into the Han country to inquire about intelligence, and they began to test again and again, and the border that had been quiet for many years was frequently harassed.
Moreover, the harassment continues to escalate. Last winter, Mongolia suffered a once-in-a-century winter that froze to death flocks of cattle and sheep, as well as people. The pastures were also damaged by the frost, and there will be fewer places to graze in the coming year.
In order to survive, the Mongolians secretly sneaked into the border villages to plunder, and they shot and killed the Han people who resisted, leaving ten rooms empty.
The people in the border villages of the Han Kingdom were disturbed. In order to survive, they left the border villages and migrated to the Hanzhong area. The influx of a large number of refugees caused the villages and towns in Hanzhong to fall into small-scale chaos, causing the beginning of a vicious circle.
The emperor is the ruler of the Han Kingdom, of course he can't ignore his own people, allocate money to appease the people at the border, let the army take the initiative to attack, and curb further harassment from the Mongolian Kingdom, but both sides know that this war is inevitable.
King Tuobahan of Mongolia is for the survival of his people, to expand his territory, and to avenge Xiangyi's refusal to let him lose his elite. After he quelled the civil strife, he started to lay out his plans early and provoked wars little by little. .
For the sake of the dignity of the big country and to subdue the Mongolian country, it is impossible for Han to allow the opponent to grow bigger, let alone allow the opponent to slap the royal face again and again. This battle is only a matter of time.
But fighting is not only a matter of soldiers and generals, but also payment of military salaries, preparation of food and grass, updating of armaments, purchase of military horses, etc., all of which cost money, and they are flowers like flowing water. There is no cornucopia in the treasury, and there is no way Make silver.
The emperor also had to consider building embankments, mausoleums, and other places that required money. It was impossible to empty out the entire treasury for a war. Therefore, when there were rumors about treasures in the rivers and lakes, His Majesty ordered the secret guard group C to collect information and be able to save the treasure. If this so-called treasure is found, it is best to bring it back to the imperial city.
The leader of Group C knew about Princess Xiangyi's entanglement with Xiao Qi. In order to prevent Xiao Qi from acting irrationally after getting impatient, he sent Xiao Qi out as a test to take over the position of the leader of Group C.
If Xiao Qi can successfully find and bring back the treasure this time, it will be a great achievement, and he can also complete the transition logically, letting Xiao Qi take over his position.
Xiao Qi, who finally became Qi Qi, took over this mission, left the imperial city smoothly, and borrowed the identity of a county magistrate who had left as a filial piety, to go to Longxi, where the news originated.
Qi Qi's skills are not bad, but in order to conceal his identity, he chose to pretend to be a weak scholar, and the hidden guards in the same group also turned into his bodyguards to accompany him, but he didn't expect to meet Mrs. Zhen who also went back to Longxi to visit relatives on the road.
The reason why Qi Qi agreed to go on the same road with Mrs. Zhen was because the girl named Lianyi seemed to be the same age as him, but when he faced each other, he always had a familiar feeling. However, he didn't have any impression, so he decided to go with Mrs. Zhen to see if he could solve the doubts in his heart.
The convoy drove for half a day without encountering any trouble, and the people who were sent to see off the mother and child of "Fengqi Wutong" also caught up with the convoy.
"Young Master Qi, those two people have been sent to the government. I found that they exposed their figures because of ankle injuries. It seems that our brothers did not do it."
The man reported to Qi Qihui in a low voice.
"Injured by what?"
"I can't see it, it's just that the ankle bones of the two were punctured, and there were holes the size of mung beans, but no sharp objects were found near them."
After hearing this, Qi Qi subconsciously glanced at the carriage at the end of the convoy.
"Young master suspects Mrs. Zhen and the others did it?"
"Mrs. Jane said that the girl named Lianyi next to her can do some kung fu."
Qi Qi said thoughtfully.
"There is a big difference between knowing kung fu and being proficient."
We are all Lianjiazi, so we know the difference very well.
"I think that girl has a light body, and she has some kung fu. As for the height, find a chance to test it out."
"My subordinate understands."
"We are still two days away from our next destination, so we need to speed up."
After Qi Qi finished speaking, he was notified, and the team speeded up again.
Riding on the horse, Lianyi was also observing Qi Qi's team. Ever since Aunt Zhen expressed her suspicions, Lianyi was also very curious as to which side this Young Master Qi was from.
When she entered this plane, she saw the tragedy of Yingze Villa. At that time, the original body was carried away by Wang Yingying, and the boy was carried away by Xu Fengze. It is possible that her younger brother is still alive, but it is not known whether it was taken away by Princess Xiangyi or saved by others.
The next morning, the convoy was about to pass through a canyon, and through this canyon, they could enter the next county, Huairou County, which is the largest county in a hundred miles.
"My lord, there are rumors that there are bandits nearby, who often block the road and rob. The caravan paid a favor, and they can pass through with a part of their cargo. Those who travel alone are a bit unlucky. Few of them can pass here alive."
"Does Huairou county magistrate ignore it?"
"Sent troops to encircle and suppress them several times, those bandits knew the terrain well, played hide-and-seek with the yamen servants in the mountains, and wounded many people instead.
The county magistrate of Huairou has made several proposals, requesting to send officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress the bandits, but you know the current situation, and there is no way to spare any troops, so many people choose to go around this canyon, preferring to walk for three more days, Not from here. "
"Then they will meet them, and if it goes well, they will be solved."
"it is good."
"Send someone to tell Mrs. Zhen and the others, let them enter the canyon a step later, and see the other party's reaction."
"Yes."
Lianyi's eyes lit up after hearing the person's explanation, and then said with a smile:
"But I need to help Mr. Qi. My kung fu is not bad, and it's the first time I've seen bandits blocking the road. I want to gain knowledge."
The guard had some black lines, and felt that this was a typical example of curiosity killing the cat, but he was very good at talking, and he didn't directly refuse, but cupped his hands and said:
"Since that's the case, let's trouble the heroine to step up. As the vanguard, we will negotiate with the other party first. If we lose, we will send a signal to ask the heroine to help. What do you think?"
"Okay! I also think that I should appear on the stage at the most critical moment. This is more face-saving. If you reply to Mr. Qi, I will definitely cooperate with your actions."
Lianyi raised the whip in his hand, and replied excitedly.
