Chapter 268 The Covenant

"The meat is cooked, the meat is cooked!"

The night was completely dark, Ni Yi yelled at the top of his voice, and Ado also yelled a few words, as if both of them were responsible for this matter.

Others said: "What's the hurry! Wait!"

This time, Guo Ning came to Juzhou with a new guard leader, who was excellent in archery, and hit Zhang Shao, the defeated Yehuling soldier who was dragging thunder with one arrow.

When he accompanied Guo Ning to raid Tuolei headquarters, Zhao Jue's shoulder was injured, because the arrow cluster cut through an important tendon, and he is still unable to bend and stretch. It will take at least half a year for him to recover the sharp shooting that he did back then. train hard.

Zhang Shao has also suffered such injuries.He was injured on the Yehuling battlefield, and then caught cold in Hebei, and it took a full year and a half to recover from his injuries.Fortunately, once cured, it will be the same as when it was healthy, so Zhao Jue is not worried.

For this reason, when everyone returned, they could only watch Zhang Shao draw his bow and set his arrows, showing off his archery skills.He shot several gray geese that had gone south for the winter as tooth offerings for the evening camp.

At this moment, Yan Ning led people to set up an iron frame by the side of the road, washed and peeled the birds shot by Zhang Shao, put some salt on them, and put them on the iron frame to slowly roast them.Northerners don't have to be so complicated to barbecue meat; this method was favored by the Song people in the Southern Dynasties. Here in Tianshengzhai in Yanning, I often deal with merchants from the Song Dynasty, and I learned this skill...the taste is really good.

Not long after, a whole gray goose was roasted until it was golden brown, the skin was crispy, and the fat dripped down continuously.And the fragrance is pervasive, which makes everyone's index finger move.

Guo Ning opened his eyes after smelling the aroma.

It turned out that it didn't take long, it was just the time when a gray goose was roasted.

He rubbed his eyes, sat up from the felt bag made of fur, and looked around, feeling a little stiff in his body.That's because the deep, moist and heavy air in the depths of the eastern ocean keeps blowing into the inland.

In the past few years, the weather has been colder and colder year after year. It is only the end of October now, and the temperature difference between day and night is frighteningly large.Guo Ning traveled all the way, and saw that many rivers had frozen, even by the campfire, he could feel the chill suddenly.

This time, Guo Ning's long-distance trip to and from Moqi Mountain was not intended to fight, but to show the local heroes in Shandong the ability of Dinghai to attack and behead.

As long as you are a smart person, you must be able to understand the great deterrence brought by Guo Ning's trip.This kind of deterrence is enough to offset or even destroy the control power created by Yang An'er and Liu Erzu's management of the place for many years; this is a small Mongolian army that has always been entrenched in Shandong. Fight, go if you want to go, advance and retreat freely.Anyone who is against it will only be beaten repeatedly!
Since Yang An'er and Liu Erzu wanted to respond to Li Quan, everything must be on the line, and they should not give up halfway. Guo Ning was [-]% sure that they would give in.

Of course, after the two parties reached an agreement, Guo Ning did not stay in Moqishan for long.

After all, that place is Yang An'er's domain, and with a single order from him, it is guaranteed that tens of thousands of people will be able to gather in the four townships and eight villages.In case a kidnapped horse Qingqi is surrounded by layers, it will be troublesome.So after Guo Ning confirmed the agreement, he immediately withdrew his troops.

The two hundred riders still drove fast, and in only two hours, they left Juzhou and entered the territory of Mizhou.

This area is the mountainous area at the junction of the two states.In the south, there is a pass called Wulianchuan, which Yang An'er heavily deployed.The mountain itself is called the Nine Immortals Mountain. There are ten peaks and eight out of ten rocks in the mountain. It is also the place where traitors have come and gone since ancient times.

The leader of the most powerful group of bandits in this mountain is Gao Xin.This person is famous for being good at wielding two guns, although there are only dozens of subordinates, they are quite fierce.And because Gao Xin's ancestors were originally officials, educated and not ordinary thieves, so he has some friendship with Yan Ning.

Gao Xin had also heard about the news of the battle between Guo Ning and the Mongolian Army before.The day before yesterday, Yan Ning came and told in detail what he had seen and heard during the successive battles. Gao Xin was fascinated by what he heard, so he decided to get closer to Guo Ning.

After all, Yang An'er still can't control the locality, and there are always some forces that disobey him or are hostile to him.Guo Ning's cavalry team was introduced by Yan Ning, and under the cover of Gao Xin, they traveled long distances without hindrance.

After returning to this place, the cavalry team was out of the direct control of Yang An'er's department, and they could return to Laizhou at leisure.

At this moment, the handsome Gao Xin was taking out a jar of honey, and carefully applying it on the geese.While wiping, he told Zhao Jue and others about the rumors and trifles in Jiuxian Mountain.

According to him, when the Song State was strong and prosperous in the Southern Dynasty, there was a great literati surnamed Su who was the magistrate of Mizhou.

Speaking of this, Gao Xin chanted this que for everyone to hear, and everyone applauded again and again.

Guo Ning also gave a big praise.

He has little reading and lacks literary talent, but his appreciation ability is not bad. He only feels that this phrase is magnificent and heroic.The sentence "Thousands of riders roll Hiraoka" is just in line with the trend of Guo Ning's subordinates, and the sentence "Will hold the eagle bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot Sirius" is exactly Guo Ning's long-cherished wish , sounds really fun.

Hearing Guo Ning's admiration, everyone in front turned their heads.

Guo Ning rubbed his eyes and said with a smile: "It has become a big event, and I feel a little more relaxed. I just wanted to do a little work, but I fell asleep unknowingly."

Everyone nodded again and again, and several of them smiled: "It is indeed a big deal."

It turned out that Guo Ning mentioned three things just now, and they will reach an agreement with Yang An'er.However, Yang An'er said that the identities of the two parties are very different after all, and it is inevitable that there will be a lack of trust, and other incidents will arise out of thin air. Guo Ning promised a marriage.

If the two families became relatives by marriage, Yang An'er would have reason to restrain his subordinates from invading Laizhou.And if there are other changes in the situation in the future, with this marriage, the two families also have reasons to take care of each other, so they won't be at war immediately.

That's a good idea.

Liu Erzu booed immediately.

When Yang Miaozhen heard this, she bowed her head a little shyly, but everyone could see the dimple on her face.She is naturally a rare strange woman, and Guo Ning is also a strange man, regardless of appearance, talent, and ambition, he is more than ten times or a hundred times better than ordinary rebels under Yang An'er's command?
On Guo Ning's side, he joined the army since he was a child, and all he thinks about is marching and fighting every day. In recent years, he has been in a rough situation and rarely thinks about female sex.But after all, at the age of youthful vigor, there are occasional urges to move around.

What's more, Yang Miaozhen is so heroic and handsome, and her appearance is not bad?
Although there is still Lu Han at home, a man should not be too scruples.

Guo Ning nodded in agreement almost immediately.

Fortunately, he is still clear-headed, knowing that in his current status, getting married is not a matter of two people or two families.This is related to the future of the two military and political groups, and in turn related to whether the Dinghai, which has always been independent between the imperial court and the rebels, will be more biased in the direction of the rebels.

So in the end he didn't make any promises to Yang An'er, he just told Yang An'er that he thought it was feasible, but the matter was too big and must be considered at an appropriate time.My own side has a conclusion, and it will not be too late for the two parties to discuss again.

Yang An'er was slightly disappointed, but she was not entangled.In any case, the intention of the two parties has always been reached.

At this time, everyone dispersed and asked Guo Ning to sit in front of the campfire.

Although it is on the side of the official road, on the flat ground between the mountains and the sea, the sky is dark and the bonfire is beating. Looking up, there is a feeling that the sky is high and the earth is wide.

Zhang Shao cut a piece of bird meat with a knife, took a bite, and let out a long sigh: "This long-distance running is really enjoyable. It's like the feeling of being on the grassland outside the northern boundary trench. This gray goose is also delicious, but less A little bit, not enough. If I can go back to Changzhou and Fuzhou in the future, I will shoot a fat gazelle and make roast mutton for you to eat, and you will be full after one meal!"

Yellow sheep is really fat, tender and delicious.When Guo Ning was a teenager, his father went hunting in the grassland, and he shot a gazelle and shared it with everyone.Later, the Mongols were powerful, and the garrison troops in northern Xinjiang rarely dared to go deep into the grassland to hunt.In my mind, that was the last time.

Guo Ning was silent for a while, then laughed and said, "Then it's settled, we'll eat roast yellow sheep in the future."

He turned to Gao Xin, continued to smile and said, "Master Gao's honey is very sweet, so you have to take it with you."

Gao Xin is very luxurious, wearing a robe with a round flower collar, a jade rabbit falcon belt around his waist, and a brocade-faced soft-footed headband, he looks like a romantic man.Hearing what Guo Ning said, he got up and saluted solemnly: "I hope you will be handsome with the festival."

Everyone laughed, Yan Ning pulled Gao Xin to sit down, and cut a piece of wild goose wing for him.

And there was another person beside Guo Ning, sitting cross-legged.The bonfire was flickering, and it could be seen that his face had complicated expressions, including unwillingness, faint anger, fear, and a little restraint and flattery.

"Emissary Geng, please try it too, you're welcome."

The person Guo Ning called "Geng Shijun" was none other than Geng Ge, the governor of Dengzhou who had close contacts with Yang An'er.

Geng Ge returned the gift with a wry smile: "Okay, okay, thank you Jieshuai."

　Can you imagine, I only spent three hours in these two chapters today... Oh my god, sweat came out.
