It was from Princess Ning'an that Ji Min learned about the relationship between the royal family and several founding princes, including Duke Li, as well as the relationship between Duke Li and Thunder War General.
More than a hundred years ago, the Central Plains and even beyond the Great Wall were experiencing a human catastrophe.
Outside the Great Wall, that is, the territories mainly located in today's Beiliao and Liaorong, but Beiliao did not yet dominate the grassland at that time.
At that time, there was a powerful grassland army named "Beirong". Beiliao is just a tribe under the jurisdiction of this powerful grassland team. The "Liao Rong" that was later separated also had the intention of borrowing the reputation of this powerful team.
Beirong was invincible, and often a few lone soldiers rushed into the hinterland of the Central Plains, burning, killing and looting all the way, as if they were entering an uninhabited land.
The people of the Central Plains who were living a stable life were like grass and grass in front of the Beirong. Everywhere the Beirong went, they treated the unarmed Central Plains people like chopping melons and vegetables. Soon, wherever the Beirong cavalry passed, almost every village was deserted and every household was smoke-free.
The reason why the Central Plains was vulnerable to the cavalry at that time was because there was no unified and powerful court in the Central Plains at that time. There were eleven small countries, or separatist forces, competing for each other's land and expanding their power. .
When Beirong attacked, other people not only did not watch and help each other, but were also happy to see the success, because Beirong would not station troops here after looting and massacre, so it became a carve-up for other small countries that were not attacked. meat pie.
For a time, war was raging and the people were in dire straits.
Later, divisions emerged within this powerful grassland force, and the divided groups colluded with and exploited each other with the few remaining forces in the Central Plains.
Today, these groups formed an alliance to jointly attack other groups. Tomorrow, they split up and disintegrated, got mixed up with other groups again, and then attacked again.
On the land of the Central Plains, these people began to fight each other again, killing each other, and the chaos was endless. Sometimes the ins and outs of a certain war were so complicated that no one writing a history book could write about it.
However, the rise of these careerists has brought suffering to the common people. The people fled in all directions, displaced and homeless.
The man-made disasters are not over yet, and natural disasters are catching up. Initially there was a drought in the summer, followed by floods in the autumn, and the people were miserable.
Two outsider masters from Shenmeng Valley and Qiyaoling respectively decided to go out to save the people from the fire and water.
However, they discovered that just the two of them and the few disciples they brought could only save dozens, hundreds, or at most thousands of people.
Although the number is large, compared with those victims who continue to appear under the endless war, it is a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the fundamental problem.
Soon after the two met, they met the patriarch and elder of the Sogu clan who came after hearing the news.
It turns out that at this moment, the Sogu clan was also disturbed by the war and could not survive alone.
After the Beirong Iron Cavalry came into contact with some separatist forces in the Central Plains, they learned about the mysterious Sogu tribe in southern Xinjiang.
Some people, for the purpose of diverting trouble to the east, also want to see who will win against the invincible Beirong cavalry, which they have never dared to think about, the Sogu clan.
The Beirong people were arrogant and arrogant at the moment, and were dazzled by the victories one after another. Without thinking, they went straight to the southern border!
However, although it was winter when they arrived in southern Xinjiang, the vegetation there was lush, the climate was comfortable, and the mountains and fields were filled with unknown, never-before-seen, beautiful and bright flowers!
The breeze blows, and the fragrance of flowers and plants comes!
Riding on the horse and looking around, it feels like you are in a fairyland!
Even when it rains, the air is filled with the quiet smell of vegetation. How can all this be compared to the windy, sandy, cold and dry outside the Great Wall!
The leader of Beirong immediately decided to capture this place, and decided to occupy it!
However, although there are many tribes in southern Xinjiang, the overall number of people is not large. On weekdays, there are fierce fights over water sources, medicinal materials, land, forests, livestock and poultry, etc. However, in the face of strong enemies, we can still be consistent with the outside world.
Without him, for a long time, the tribes in southern Xinjiang have learned about the brutality of Beirong through their interactions with the people of the Central Plains. They have also seen that several small countries in the Central Plains tried to join forces with the Beirong and ended up being destroyed after carving up their territory.
Therefore, they knew that there was no other way but to unite to deal with this unreasonable barbarian from afar who they should not have met.
Jungles, miasma, swamps, beasts, poisonous snakes...
All conceivable methods were used on this group of Beirong people who were determined to win!
The war horses and the warriors on horseback had venomous snakes wrapped around their necks, and the sharp venomous teeth were deeply imprinted into their skin. The steel knife in their hands became a weapon that could be swung randomly, but could only hurt the people around them!
The swamps and miasma caused the large army to lose strength quickly!
In the end, the general of Beirong was extremely angry and decided to do nothing!
Fire attack!
A large forest was on fire!
Snakes, insects, rats and ants were roaring and wailing inside!
The air is filled with a burning smell!
In southern Xinjiang, the world that was once green with green grass and lush flowers has turned into large tracts of scorched earth. Wherever the fire has passed, not a single blade of grass can grow.
Originally, the tribes in southern Xinjiang thought that this might make the Beirong retreat in the face of difficulties. Unexpectedly, what happened next left everyone at a loss.
The people of Beirong unexpectedly found a kind of grease that could continue to burn for more than ten hours without any flammable materials such as wood!
Moreover, after burning, it will produce billowing smoke! Thick smoke covered the sky and the sun and stayed there for days!
As the burning time got longer, the smoke became thicker and gradually gathered, making it difficult to disperse. At that time, there was less wind in southern Xinjiang and the climate was humid, so the smoke could remain suspended in the low altitude for a long time.
The vegetation in southern Xinjiang is different from that in northern Xinjiang. A large number of vegetation require sufficient light to grow smoothly. As a result, some vegetation that relies on sunlight cannot grow and mature well, which especially has a profound impact on local food production.
Therefore, in southern Xinjiang, which should have no worries about food and drink, there are scenes of starvation and death everywhere. The clan leader left his clan members to hide on the island. After all, the Bei Rong cavalry could not reach the island across the sea.
The clan leader went north to look for a way to rescue him. Perhaps there was no way out, so the clan leader met these two masters.
The three of them bathed and burned incense, and stayed in seclusion for seven days and seven nights. Finally, they found a way, and they combined their efforts to create a "serial poison"!
This Gu can affect the whole body with just one hair!
General Thunder, the ancestors of several founding princes and royal families, are the "one link" in this "serial poison"!
The backyard of the Second Prince's Mansion.
Hou Nan looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, with a smile on his lips. The Second Highness finally couldn't help but take action!
Hou Nan carefully opened the porcelain bottle, and then approached the mouth of the bottle with great caution and smelled it. There was a hint of fragrance inside, which was probably used to cover up the smell.
This is Hong Peiju's homemade "poison", which can make people feel depressed, and then they will not want to eat or drink. Within half a year, they will run out of energy and blood and die.
Hong Peiju named this poison "Dream Man", which is taken from the Tang Dynasty poem "Poor bones by the Wuding River, like a spring boudoir dream".
Those who suffer from this poison are like missing their sweetheart all day long, not thinking about food and tea, and finally the lamp runs out of oil.
The second prince handed the poison called "Dream Man" to Hou Nan, and asked her to poison the third prince!
Hou Nan didn't show it on his face, but his mind didn't stop.
The second prince asked Hou Nan to harm the third prince. First, he couldn't get his brother's blood on his hands!
Secondly, he was also worried that Hong Peiju's medicine would hurt himself.
Thirdly, the second prince didn’t use Yuan Qian and others because he didn’t want to use his own people to avoid the incident being revealed and dragging the second prince out!
After all, Hou Nan came from the palace of Concubine Jiao Xian. If the second prince was killed and Hou Nan was exposed, Concubine Jiao Xian could be used to take the blame!
Hou Nan figured it out and wasn't too angry. People like her don't have the ability to be the master at the moment.
Since you are not willing to live a mediocre life, you will end up either working as a lackey for this master or as a thug for that master.
Hou Nan wanted to perform meritorious service in front of the second prince and maintain her current status in the eyes of the second prince, so that she could be allowed to do whatever she wanted within a certain range.
However, Hou Nan believed that he did not need to do it himself. Even though she is the second prince's dog, she is closer to people than a "dog" like Su Jin!
"Mama Su," Hou Nan smiled as if she had met a relative.
After Su Jin arrived at the Second Prince's Mansion, it was obviously inappropriate to call her "Aunt Su", so she automatically became "Aunt Su"!
Su Jin was "invited" to her yard by Hou Nan. She didn't dare not to come, but she was also worried.
"What are your orders, Miss Hou?"
Hou Nan pushed a pile of supplements and a few banknotes in front of Su Jin.
"Mama Su has worked hard during this period! These supplements are to replenish her body! Please accept it!"
Su Jin didn't dare to answer.
I just took the bowl of blood from her body, and I felt dizzy just looking at it. How could I dare to accept her gift? Could it be that one bowl is not enough and we still need to take more?
However, Su Jin then thought about it, if she really wanted to take blood, Hou Nan would do it directly, and she would have no power to resist!
Hou Nan smiled and said,
"Mother Su, I have something to discuss with you. Let's cooperate. In the end, the benefits will be shared equally between the two of us. How about that?"
Su Jin didn't dare to agree, and she didn't dare not to agree. She knew very well that in this woman's place, no matter how nice she said it, she couldn't believe it!
Maybe, maybe, the next moment, she will have to cut her other arm to bleed...
And the sad and desperate thing is that she has no way out!
Hou Nan saw that Su Jin was pretending to be calm, but her body was already shaking. If she hadn't been leaning on the chair, she might have slipped to the ground!
Hou Nan was very satisfied that he could bring such a strong shock to Su Jin. It felt so good to be able to make people fearful and even control life and death!
Hou Nan saw that Su Jin was close to collapse, so he leaned close to Su Jin's ear and whispered a few words.
Su Jin looked at Hou Nan in disbelief and stammered,
"Then, then, wouldn't that be an advantage for that bitch from the Ji family!"
Hou Nan smiled proudly,
"How could it be? It's just to make her happy in vain. Don't you know Ning Xiaotao, the flower protector next to the third prince?"
Su Jin was at a loss, she really didn't know!
Su Jin knew very little about the men in the court.
Hou Nan didn't show off, and said coldly,
"Anyone who dares to covet the third prince will be punished by Mr. Ning to a point where life is worse than death!"
