Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

After the group crossed the Lailiu River to the southwest, they came to Ningjiang Prefecture by the Songwa River.Wanyan Yinshu went out of the city to meet Wulin Moshi Tuhei and Ximen Qing, and let them set up camp beside his own military camp outside the city.

When Wanyan Yinshuke held a banquet for Ximen Qing and others, Wulin Moshi Tuhei saw that Wanyan Yinshuke's barracks was heavily guarded and murderous, so he asked, "Yinshuke, I see you are doing the whole thing." The army is preparing for the war. Could it be that the army and horses of the recruiting department on the Northeast Road of the Liao Kingdom have changed again? Isn’t the Khitan dog emperor sending someone to ask me for peace? Could it be that the dog emperor thinks that he has not lost enough battles, so he dares to provoke you?”

Wanyan Yinshu could hear the words and said: "No! Those Khitan dogs are bullying waste, how dare they invade my Ningjiang Prefecture! Before we rebelled, Khitan silver medal angels came to my Jurchen territory to show their power As a blessing, it is so arrogant to ask me to wait for the wives and concubines of the nobles to accompany them! After I rebelled, killing these Khitan silver medal angels and Khitan nobles is as easy as killing a dog. Now Liao Kingdom Northeast Road Recruitment Division The Khitan dog has already been beaten like a tortoise by me, how dare you come to our Ningjiang Prefecture to commit crimes? Shi Tuhei, I am preparing an army for war, and I am going to go to the Northeast Road to recruit the Secretary!"

Ximen Qing had already heard about Wanyan Yinshu's words after he came to the Kingdom of Jin.

The envoys sent by the Liao Dynasty to the Jurchen tribe were called "silver angels" because they wore silver medals symbolizing the royal family of the Liao Dynasty.

After these Khitan silver-medal angels arrived in the Jurchen tribe, they bought and sold them by force.

In order to curry favor with these silver angels, the Jurchen tribe endured humiliation and at first designated middle-aged and unmarried women from the tribe to accompany them.

Later, relying on the power of the great Khitan kingdom, an endless stream of envoys chose beautiful women from the Jurchen tribe. They did not ask whether they had husbands or whether they were women from noble Jurchen families. As long as they liked them, they would force them ask for.

It was these "silver angels" who did whatever they wanted that aroused widespread dissatisfaction among the Jurchen tribes, and made them unite under the banner of the Wanyan tribe to resist the oppression of the Khitan tribe.

Under the leadership of their hero Wanyan Aguda, the angry Jurchens started their business with only [-] warriors, and challenged the Liao Kingdom, the largest country in East Asia.Then, after a series of miraculous battles in the past two years, the Jurchen, who shared the same hatred with the enemy, defeated the strong with the weak, annihilated millions of Liao troops, won the victory in the battle for national independence and self-improvement, and successfully established the country on the land of Liaodong .

Now the situation of victory and defeat between Liao and Jin has been reversed. After Liao sent troops to conquest Jin many times and failed, they were forced to switch from offense to defense. However, Jin overwhelmed Liao in terms of military power and showed an aggressive attack. situation.

Seeing that the Kingdom of Jin could not do anything about it militarily, the monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom sent envoys to the Kingdom of Jin to negotiate a peace, and they have traveled back and forth several times this year.Therefore, the news inquired by Du Chong, the prefect of Cangzhou a few days ago, is unmistakable, and the Liao Kingdom is indeed negotiating peace with the Jin Kingdom.

However, from the perspective of the warlike Wanyan Yinshu, the Khitan dog thieves have always been restless and kind, and their peace talks are not sincere.The peace talks would break down sooner or later, so he was the first to train and prepare for war, and was always ready to wait for the call of Emperor Wanyan Aguda.

In Ningjiang Prefecture, the first battle of Ningjiang Prefecture and the second battle of the ancient city of Dalu in the Jurchens' rebellion against Khitan of the Liao Kingdom broke out. The foundation of the Dajin Kingdom.Therefore, the morale of the Wanyan Yinshu Legion stationed here is the highest.Brother Wanyan Yinshuke is also the most resolute supporter of a decisive battle with the Khitans of the Liao Kingdom.

Ximen Qing heard Wanyan Yinshu's words, and secretly thought that this guy is very good at predicting things, seeing that it is impossible to make peace between the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom.Even though Wanyan Yinshu looked rough and bold, he was by no means a reckless general, otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to shine in the Battle of Hedong in history.

After hearing Wanyan Yinshuke's words, Wulin Moshituhei also patted his thigh and said, "Yinshuke, you are right! Those Khitan dogs have bullied us for many years, and now they come to beg for mercy whenever we are defeated. Negotiating peace with our clan, is this deceiving the ignorant people of our clan? Hmph! Our army will surely attack the Khitan dog thieves of the Liao Kingdom again! This time I go to Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, and I will immediately prepare the army for war like you. "

"Kill the Khitan dog thief!"

"Kill the Khitan dog thief!"

Wanyan Yinshuke, Wulin Moshi Tuhei and the generals of their two armies at the banquet all shouted, their excitement was beyond words.

Wanyan Yinshuke and the others didn't think their hatred for the Liao Kingdom was a state secret, so they made no secret of it in front of Ximen Qing, a native of the Song Dynasty.

"There are brave generals in Dajin Kingdom, what a blow to the Liao army! According to my estimation, Dajin Kingdom will destroy the Liao Kingdom within a few years, and the hatred of the past will be wiped out. Today I will first wish you generals a victory , conquer the Liao Kingdom as soon as possible!" Ximen Qing raised the wooden spoon and drank a big gulp of wine, then handed the wooden spoon to Wanyan Yinshuke.

Ximen Qing knew the history, so he was confident that the Jin Kingdom could destroy the Khitan of the Liao Kingdom. At this time, he naturally said some cheap blessings to please Wanyan Yinshu and others.

"Hahaha~ You are indeed a good brother Ximenqing, well said! We want to attack and destroy the Liao Kingdom!" Although Wanyan Yinshu is good at fighting, he dare not say that he will be able to destroy that country within ten years. The vast country of Liao.So hearing what Ximen Qing said with certainty, Wanyan Yinshu drank a big gulp of wine happily, and handed the wooden spoon to Wulin Moshi Tuhei.

Wulin Moshi Tuhei also admired Ximen Qing very much. After drinking, he sacrificed the capital Huining City to shoot willows. Ximen Qing rode a horse and won the willow shooting competition. The matter of personally bestowing the tiger skin was told in detail by the generals of Ningjiang Prefecture, who are headed by Wanyan Yinshu.

Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Maji, Wanyan Balisu, Wanyan Quying and others were amazed when they heard this, and congratulated Ximen Qing one after another.

The Jurchens are simple in nature and have always admired warriors.After knowing that Ximen Qing was so good at riding and shooting, Wanyan Yinshuke and others became more affectionate to Ximen Qing.

Chapter 459 Little Fox Runs Away

When Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Maji, and Wanyan Balisu asked their subordinates to tie themselves up before drinking, the banquet also came to an end.Ximenqing and Wulin Moshi Tuhei didn't want to stay and watch the three brothers drunk and struggling to kill, so they bid farewell to Wanyan Yinshuke and others in advance, and returned to their camps.

When Ximen Qing walked into the tent and asked the maid Alan to serve him, he realized that Alan who was supposed to be waiting for him in the tent had disappeared.

Ximen Qing asked the guards outside the tent to go to the Mongolian camp to call Alan back. After a while, the guards reported in a panic, saying that they did not find the maid Alan in the Mongolian tent, and that the Mongols are gone.

Hearing this, Ximen Qing stood up abruptly, walked out of the camp, and walked around the camp with a few guards, only to see that there were few horses in the camp, but there was no sign of the Mongols!

Seeing this, Ximen Qing frowned, and strode outside the anxious tent. He listened carefully, only to hear a woman's moaning and chirping from inside the tent.Ximen Qing shouted angrily: "Jiao Ting, you have a bad day today, but you are still happy! Come out and talk to me!"

The strange voices in the tent stopped abruptly, and after a while, "Faceless" Jiao Ting came out of the tent in disheveled clothes, and asked Ximen Qing cheekily: "Brother Ximen, why did today's banquet end so quickly? Brother Haven't you been drunk? What's the point of calling your brother?"

Ximen Qing's face darkened, and Jiao Ting asked, "Jiao Ting, I will keep you in the camp and let you guard the camp. Why did you let those Mongolians slip away?"

"Brother, what did you just say? The Mongols slipped away? No way! Ulun Zhurig is still in my camp!" Jiao Ting, who had just come out of Wenrouxiang, hadn't understood yet, his face full of disbelief. .

"Jiao Ting, you've been caught in a beauty trick! Hey~ Quickly call that Mongolian woman out, I have something to ask her." Ximen Qing sighed.

I really didn't expect that Bo'er Ji Jin? Alan was so cunning that he sent someone to play a trick on my brother, successfully paralyzing Jiao Ting and allowing himself to escape from his shell.

However, it's no wonder Jiao Ting, isn't he also careless this time?When I was in love with that Borjijin? Alan every night, Borjijin? Alan was obedient and obedient, as well-behaved as a little sheep. Didn't I also think that she had chosen to follow me with all her heart?So he relaxed his vigilance, didn't he arrange guards to guard those Mongols?

Damn it, I never imagined that I, the official Ximen Qing, would fall into the trap of a beauty one day!The people of the Mongolian Qiyan tribe are as cunning as foxes!

Ximen Qing was thinking about something, Jiao Ting hastily arranged for his lover, the unbuttoned Mongolian woman Ulun Zhurige pulled out from the tent, and wanted her to kneel in front of Ximen Qing and confess to Ximen Qing The whole story.

Seeing this, Ximenqing waved his hands, stopped the anxious and angry, and let Ulunzhurige stand in front of him to answer.

Ximen Qing said to the Mongolian woman with a pleasant face: "Don't be afraid, just answer my question truthfully. Your name is Ulun Zhurige, right? I heard that Brother Jiao Ting said about you, that you are a beautiful and A wise woman, she has already learned our language. I heard that Ulun Zhurige means Caiyun in your language, it is really a good name!"

After the Mongolian woman tidied up her clothes, she calmed down and said to Ximen Qing: "Master Ximen Qing, Ulun Zhurige deceived you and Jiao Ting, the master, and is willing to accept the punishment from the master."

"Ulunzhurige, I admire you very much. You are not only beautiful and wise, but also have the courage to sacrifice yourself. Brother Jiao Ting is good to a woman like you. I am happy to see it. I told you not to Afraid, I will not punish you. I just want to ask you, I have promised Alan that I will buy her tribe from Wanyan Moulianghu and other Jurchen nobles in batches, and I will send you back to the prairie in the future. Alan Why did she still leave me? This place is still in the Kingdom of Jin, why do you let her continue to take risks?" Ximen Qing asked Ulun Zhurig in puzzlement.

"Master Ximenqing, little master Alan was unwilling to leave master at first, and I was the one who persuaded her to leave when she wanted to go back to the Song Kingdom with you. Our little master Boer Jijin? Alan is our Mongolian Khan, Da The daughter of Tun Bi Nai, commander of the Wugu enemy army in the Liao Kingdom, is Xiangwen Boer, and our favorite princess. She is the daughter of the prairie, and the prairie is her home. We heard that this trip to the south, We want to go out to sea by boat, to the sea where there are many monsters. We Mongolians can only ride horses, not boats, and have a natural fear of the sea. So, after discussing with me, I decided not to let little master Alan go to sea If you take risks, I persuade her to escape from this place and go back to the prairie. Little master Alan asked me to tell you, master, that after she returns to the Qiyan tribe, she will not marry Sai Yin’s Jin, the son of the leader of the Hongji tribe, but will Waiting for you to marry her, master Ximen Qing. Little master Alan said that you are a real warrior, master, and you will be an eagle in the sky if you go to the prairie!" Ulunzhurige looked at Ximen Qing eagerly, looking forward to him Said that he would desperately go to the prairie to marry Bo'er Jijin Alan.

Hey!Did these Mongols decide to escape because of their fear of the unknown sea?This reason is too strange!It's really dumbfounding.And Alan, the little prairie fox, I want to bring her back to Dasong to get in touch with her father and brother so that they can be used by me in the future.I really didn't expect that she also had the idea of ​​abducting me to live on the prairie!

Ximenqing secretly slandered a few words in his heart, but Ulunzhurige said that Bo'er was only a catty? Alan would wait for him to marry her, so the official Ximenqing would be very useful.As the saying goes, one day a husband and wife have a hundred days of kindness, and I have worked hard for several nights, so the child is only a catty? Alan is still unforgettable!

Although Ximenqing was pleased, he asked calmly: "Ulunzhurige, I don't want to hold your little master and your eight companions for leaving without saying goodbye, but this place is still part of the Dajin Kingdom. Within the territory, it is safest for your little master to leave Dajin Kingdom with me, why do you want to take such a big risk? It is really unwise!"

"Master Ximenqing, some of the nine of us are familiar with the geography here. This Ningjiang Prefecture is on the border between Jin and Liao. If you leave here and go northwest, you can enter the territory of Liao. Go north and turn over The mountains can reach our Mongolian department. The young masters and the others only need to avoid the Jurchen patrols in Ningjiang Prefecture and enter the territory of Liao to be safe. Today, Master Ximenqing and the Jurchen guards in Ningjiang Prefecture gathered for a banquet. Daoist's defense must be more lax than in the past, and we think this is the best chance to escape." Ulunzhurige replied to Ximen Qing.

"You think this is a good opportunity, so you sacrifice yourself to stay and entangle brother Jiao Ting, so that your little master can take the opportunity to flee north?"

Chapter 4: I want to be captured by him

Ximen Qing's expression became more severe, and he looked at Ulun Zhurig.

"Master Ximenqing, Ulunzhurige is willing to bear all the responsibilities." Seeing the color change on Ximenqing's face, Ulunzhurige puffed up his chest and looked at Ximenqing calmly.

"I'm not blaming you. You are a loyal and brave person. I said that I would not blame you for this matter. I... Let me ask you first, if I let you go now, are you willing to return to the prairie , or follow my brother Jiao Ting across the sea and return to Song State." Seeing Jiao Ting's aggrieved expression, Ximen Qing suddenly asked a question for him.

Hearing this, Ulenzhurige glanced at Jiao Ting, blushed and said in a low voice, "I, I would like to go home with Jiao Ting..."

After hearing Ulun Zhurige's words, Jiao Ting's eyes lit up, he hesitated to speak, and looked at Ximen Qing guiltily to see how he would make up his mind.

"Ulunzhurige, aren't you afraid to cross the sea by boat? Could it be that you were not a Mongolian?" Ximen Qing asked jokingly.

"I, my life is not as precious as the little master Jingui. I, I am willing to take risks with him." Ulunzhurige became shy, and looked directly at Jiao Ting.

"Okay! Ulunzhurige, you will be my younger brother and sister in the future, don't call me master anymore. You can call me Brother Ximen or Daguanren." Ximen Qing said.

Jiao Ting heard this, and said to Ulun Zhurig who was staring at him in a daze, "Thank you, high official! Hey! You know that you have hurt me today, but how do you ask me to ask brother Ximen?"
