Chapter 13 The Will of God
On this day, the weather was fine and the sky was blue, which did not seem to be affected by the dramatic competition that took place in Peking University a few days ago.
In most of the courtyards, the Central Plains-style eaves are made of green tiles with Jiangnan characteristics. Under the eaves, a young woman is talking.
"Now there has been news from the palace that Beidi Dahan has been very dissatisfied with the eldest prince's behavior of raising too many staff. He ordered the eldest prince to dissolve the staff within half a year. Therefore, the grumpy eldest prince jumped in the court for the first time, which caused the dissatisfaction of the sweat even more. Now he has softened. The forbidden order, the eldest prince can't leave the eldest prince's mansion for three months. Now is our best time.
Opposite Qin Yunuan, one is Leng Changxi, the god of war, and the other is Wan Yansu, the prince of Beidi. At this time, these two men are listening carefully to Qin Yunuan's analysis, and sometimes nodding and agreeing. At that time, a maid will come to order tea. Qin Yunuan naturally turns around when she hears the sound, but unfortunately, tea is available. Yaqi's hand trembled, and the tea spilled silently. Fortunately, Qin Yunuan's dexterous dodged and dodged.
But this flash surprised Wanyansu. He grew up and pointed to Qin Yunuan: "Mrs. Tuoba, your eyes are not..."
Leng Changxi took a sip of tea indifferently: "Just listen to the sound and identify things. I taught her."
Qin Yunuan smiled at Wanyansu. Just now, a long speech has made her mouth dry. She poured half a cup of tea and turned to Wanyansu and said, "So the fourth prince, can you do what I said?"
Wanyan Su hesitated and said seriously, "Isn't it okay for you to let me send people into the Savage Valley when my eldest brother is weak? It's just that the Savage Valley is my father's headache. If I do this, won't you afraid that my father will alienate me?"
Leng Changxi snorted coldly: "The sweat is enough to alienate you. Can it be more alienated?"
Wanyansu's face stiffened, but he heard Qin Yunuan slowly say, "Naturally, the white and invincible sweat will not agree, but have you forgotten that Song Lian beside Wanyanba?"
"That Qiren?" Wanyan Su thought for a moment, "Do you want to buy him? But his life was saved by the eldest brother. You people have always taken life-saving grace very seriously, so over the years, no matter how much the eldest brother abused him and mocked his identity, he is willing to follow the eldest brother to be a cow and a horse.
"This is not what I'm talking about." Qin Yu warmly smiled and said, "I heard that Song Lian is not only proficient in strategy and military tactics, but also knows all the languages of various countries. He is just an opportunity for us."
Khitan used to be the largest power that ruled the whole continent. From Xixia in the west, to the east to the Eastern Qin Dynasty, from the north to Beidi in the south, and from the south to the Lingnan region of Daqi, it is the territory of ancient Khitan. However, I don't know why the infighting in this powerful kingdom later collapsed overnight, and the huge dynasty collapsed, leaving too many unsolved mysteries. And the endless treasures of this prosperous dynasty are also hidden in the dust of history.
Beidi once occupied the most important economic and political center of Khitan, and Beidi Khan also dreamed of finding Khitan's treasure when he was young, but there has been no result, because no one knows where Khitan's treasure is, and he doesn't even know what the so-called treasure is.
The ruler's desire for power and wealth is endless. Even at this age, Beidi Khan sometimes has some thoughts on the Khitan treasure in the dead of night, such as tonight.
The morning breeze happened, and there were wisps of osmanthus fragrance hidden in the wind, which was a calming spice specially prepared by the maidservant for Beidi Khan. Before he got up, there was a faint noise outside the door. Beidi Khan was old and had a light sleep, and was soon woken up by this familiar sound.
"Who is it?" Beidi Khan was a little dissatisfied, "Early in the morning, who dares to disturb my rest?"
The maidservant immediately pushed the door in, put on a silver rat coat for Dahan, and replied, "It's a ceremonial officer. He said that a big thing happened on the south side of the capital. He said that a family dug out a stone tablet with words when building a house and lay the foundation. It seemed to be a very ancient text on it, saying that this was afraid that it was a god's manifestation. ."
Beidi Khan immediately sat up in his clothes and suddenly said, "Old words? By the way, isn't there a scholar who is proficient in various languages in the prince's mansion? The eldest prince didn't send him away and immediately called him into the palace.
The maidservant immediately bent her knees and retreated. In a short time, the streets and alleys where a stone tablet with spirituality and divineness came to the capital spread all over. Compared with the Daqi people's belief in Buddhism, the Beidi people also had their own beliefs. They believed in the sun god who gave them the prairie, and they believed in the gods who controlled everything in the dark. For them, the god is the supreme god, and even the Khan of the tribe and the Great Khan of Beidi are just ministers in front of him.
This gust of wind is blowing more and more fiercely, and with the soaring public opinion, countless people have believed that this is the will of God.
In the court, Song Lian dressed as a scholar. He rubbed the unclear bulge on the stone tablet through a layer of silk yarn. It was a strange stroke that no one could understand.
For a long time, Song Lian looked up and said to Beidi Dahan, "If I guess correctly, the word on it should be in ancient Khitan. The stone tablet of Khitan is different from that of Beidi. The words of Beidi are sunken, but the Khitan carved stone tablet likes to protrude out. From this point alone, it can be affirmed that this stone tablet is definitely not It's something from the Northern Di Dynasty.
As soon as they heard that it was ancient Khitan, everyone's nerves seemed to be teased again.
Some people scrambled to ask, "What does this mean?" What is the will of the god?
"Many handwritings are no longer clear," Song Lian shook his head and said, "Only two words can be seen clearly, one is a treasure, and the other is a place name called Snake Valley."
The ministers were even more excited one by one. Is this the legendary Khitan treasure? In those years, the Great Khan sent so many people to search for nothing, but now, is it really God's will?
"Snake Valley?" The regent frowned and said, "In so many valleys in Beidi, none of them is called Snake Valley. Is this in Xixia and Daqi?"
"I'm afraid Uncle remembers it wrong," Wanyan said indifferently. "You still remember that when my father led the army to fight through a valley, he temporarily named the valley Snake Valley because there were many poisonous snakes there and the miasma.
"That's right," Bei Di Dahan nodded. Speaking of this, he remembered that when he fought in the north and south a few years ago, the fourth prince Wan Yansu in front of him was only seven or eight years old, but when he said that Snake Valley was bitten by a poisonous snake, he was the first to run over and use it for him regardless of anything. His mouth inhaled toxins, and he was small and fainted after taking two bites. But this once, it gave him a kind of warmth of family. This warmth has not passed for many years. Sweat looked at Wanyan Su meaningfully, and a little warm fatherly surged up in his eyes. "And in those years, the Snake Valley I passed, now, is It's Savage Valley."
The ministers were in an uproar. Even though the treasure was valuable, everyone had heard about the story of eating people without spitting bones. Suddenly, the court became very quiet. Beidi Khan glanced at the people below coldly and said, "What's wrong? You just said that you wanted to find treasures for Beidi and make Beidi richer and more prosperous, didn't you say anything?
If you go to the Savage Valley, you will die. Everyone would rather be a turtle than let yourself and his men take risks.
The regent pondered for a moment and advised, "Brother, the terrain of Savage Valley is dangerous and rare. If you venture in for the treasure, you will probably die. Even if you can find the treasure of Gu Khitan, the price paid is worth it or not. I think..."
"No need to discuss it!" Suddenly, a loud male voice sounded completely in the court. Everyone looked for the voice and saw that it was Wan Yansu who had just spoken at the front of everyone.
Wanyan looked solemn and sweated a little when he was young. He bent his knees forward and half knelt down and said, "I'm willing to go."
Beidi's sweaty eyes lit up: "Are you serious?"
Wanyan Su nodded solemnly, and a sense of relief suddenly appeared in Beidi Khan's eyes, and the ministers and Khan of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other, and some of them were even gloating in their hearts. They just wanted to see how the fourth prince, who was not afraid of tigers, died.
The news that the eldest prince went to the Savage Valley to find the lost treasure of Guqidan for Beidi Dahan quickly spread to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. The first people they knew were Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi, which was the result they expected. It was good.
Their initial plan is that since everyone is afraid of the Savage Valley because of rumors, it is good to find a more attractive rumor to make the Khan full of expectations for the Savage Valley. Gu Khitan's words are very easy. Although Lu Wuyi's ancestors have been practicing medicine in Daqi, they have a forgotten identity, the surname Lu, originally It is the descendants of Gu Khitan. For Lu Wuyi, the words of Gu Khitan are simply a piece of writing. As for the stone tablet and how to put it in the foundation of other people's houses, there is Leng Changxi, which is even a piece of cake.
Originally, all the plans of Anshun were interrupted by a woman crying when Wanyan Su stepped into the door.
With the intermittent choking sound, a big red voice directly rushed into Wanyansu's arms and pounded Wanyansu's chest.
"You big bastard, you are so cruel. Why did you go to that damn place? You will die. Are you so cruel to leave me alone?"
"Yasu." Wanyansu picked up the person in her arms, and Yasu cried with pear blossoms and rain, which made his heart uncomfortable.
"Side concubine, the fourth prince is also for the future. Please be considerate." Qin Yunuan appeared behind Wanyan Su and Yasu. When Yasu saw Qin Yunuan, her face immediately changed. She said angrily, "Naturally you won't understand how dangerous that place is. If you go to the fourth prince, you can't come back. You just say it's naturally easy. If you have the ability, you can go."
Qin Yunuan smiled and said, "The side concubine guessed right. My father-in-law and I are going to follow everything."
