Thousands of Mountains

At that time, Lin Moyan guarded Kansai, and had maintained peace and stability for more than ten years. At that time, the Shule Kingdom had not yet been unified, and it was divided into a dozen tribes, large and small. The largest Shule tribe was led by Tak Hulun. Gradually growing, and because of the mutual market with the Kansai border for many years, it has established a fairly good diplomatic relationship with Daning.

Over the years, there have been rules for the mutual market, only in a few fixed state capitals, fixed places, and a fixed time each year. People in Shule can go wherever they want, but there are exceptions, such as large-scale For non-intermarket transactions, Shule people can apply to Daning for specific commercial and trade customs clearance documents, which are usually submitted upwards by the state government, and after approval by the Chief Secretary, they can be submitted to the Secretary of Rites for filing.

Everything changed suddenly in Ning Xi's 17th year.

Zhenbeiying found that a large number of caravans holding commercial and customs clearance documents appeared in several states on the border of Kansai. At first, they were only small groups of people. The border guards quickly let them go when they saw that the documents were complete. However, more and more caravans suddenly poured in one day. Thousands of people were gathered, and after careful investigation, the guards found that the other party couldn't explain why the trade came and why it was so large, so they felt strange, detained the caravan that day, and reported it to the commander Lin Moyan.

Lin Moyan saw the group of caravans in the detention center, and saw that they were all burly and vigorous in walking, and immediately concluded that they were soldiers rather than businessmen, but the leader of the other party took out business documents, according to Daning There is no reason not to let the law and the documents complete. After Lin Moyan hesitated, he still drove them outside the city gate, and sent people to secretly investigate the Shule people who had entered the city with the documents before.

Unexpectedly, the group of Shule people who were expelled has been gathering outside the city gate and refused to leave. The number is still increasing, and the guards roughly estimate that there are nearly 5000 people.What surprised Lin Moyan even more was that three days later, a higher-level order came from the middle of the capital. He Jin, the supervisor of ceremonies, came to Zhenbeiying with the official documents issued by the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies, and ordered Lin Moyan to Open the door to welcome the caravan into the city.

In desperation, the entire Kansai door opened wide, and seven days later, it was the Kansai tragedy in Daning's history.

And when the emperor was held accountable, the supervisor of ceremonies and the cabinet pushed all the responsibilities away, vowing that the people who came in were only businessmen. As for why so many troops appeared, it was Lin Moyan who was paralyzed by the peaceful border for many years. Carelessness, dereliction of duty, let the enemy take advantage of the mutual market and trade.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty attacked him together, but Lin Moyan couldn't argue, and the emperor dismissed him in a rage in Beijing.

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. Although Lin Moyan didn't think he was a traitor, those troops in disguise were actually let in under his command. He will never forgive him in this life Own.

After talking about the past, Lin Moyan fell into deep self-blame again, but Yin Yan asked lightly, "Did General Lin ever suspect why the Shule soldiers had documents from the cabinet and the supervisor of rituals in their hands?"

After listening to Lin Moyan's narration, everyone present paid attention to this point. When Yin Cun asked this question, Yin Cen said, "Do you know the reason behind this?"

Yin Qi nodded, and what she told next was the story behind everything Lin Moyan had experienced.

After Yin Cistan was captured in the Shule military camp, she was kept in Tak Hulun's tent and could not leave. In order to survive, she began to pretend to be frightened and lost her memory. Two years later, Tak Hulun Only then was she allowed to go out of the tent to move freely, and gradually she found that there were many items belonging to Daning in the barracks, ranging from weapons and equipment to clothing and accessories. Until later, when he was drunk, Tak Hulun leaked the truth in his nonsense. He kept asking Queen Daning for money and things, and every time the queen would be satisfied, even relying on the money to arm , he has gradually unified many scattered tribes, and the unification of Shule Kingdom is just around the corner.

Why did Empress Daning satisfy Tak Hulun's bottomless demands again and again?

Yin Cistan began to speculate that the empress would never support an enemy country with wolf ambitions for no reason, and watch it continue to grow and become a powerful enemy that could rival her. The only reason was that the empress had no excuses In the hands of Tu Kehulun, she had to submit again and again.

Thinking of this, Yin Cistan began to get closer to Tak Hulun, and forgot her life experience even more completely. She spoke Shule dialect and wore Shule clothes. Every time Tak Hulun fought against other tribes, she stood At the head of the line waiting for him to return to camp.

Gradually Tak Hulun's attitude towards her also changed, from being a maid to wanting to accept her as a concubine.

On the wedding night, Tu Kehulun was very drunk, and Yin Qi asked him one question after another, and he answered all of them. Although the words were incoherent and fragmented, Yin Qi pieced together a complete fact.

In the 17 years of Ningxi's border trade, Tak Hulun exchanged two thousand high-quality horses for a large number of high-quality official tea. At the camp, Tak Hulun discovered that less than [-]% of the so-called "high-grade official tea" was genuine, and the rest were shoddy and crudely made. He was furious immediately and ordered Daning Ye Mingzhi, a merchant from the mutual market, and Ren Tonghuan, the supervisor of the Tea and Salt Department, were arrested in the barracks.

Tak Hulun originally wanted to behead the two on the spot and punish Daning for demonstrations, but to his surprise, the two made a condition that he could not refuse. As a matter of fact, replacing the official tea with crude tea is the empress' intention. If Tak Hulun is dissatisfied with this, he can lead his troops into Kansai, and let him deal with the beating, smashing, looting and burning of the common people until he is satisfied.

The most important point, Ren Tonghuan mentioned, the palace supervisor and the cabinet will prepare the customs clearance documents for entering the city, and Tak Hulun and the army only need to disguise themselves as businessmen.

Therefore, Ye Mingzhi and Ren Tonghuan survived naturally, and Tu Kehulun led a large number of tiger and wolf troops into the Seven Guards of Kansai. Originally, he just robbed by force, but he robbed the whole territory like a madman just to demonstrate. Then slaughtered again overnight.

The deal between Tak Hulun and the queen was permanently recorded by him, and he would use it to threaten the other party from time to time in the future. If there is a shortage of money, the queen will send money, if there is a shortage of weapons, the queen will send weapons, and even Including women, among the seven concubines of Tak Hulun, three were women from Daning.

Hearing this, Yin Cen had already figured out all the causes and consequences, because the empress had been cooperating with the ceremonial supervisor all the year round to fill the official tea produced in southern Sichuan into crude tea for herself, so Ye Mingzhi couldn't produce enough official tea for the mutual market. The queen didn't take it seriously, and thought of a stupid move to appease the other party by opening the border and allowing robbery like a genius, which led to an irreversible tragedy.

Yin Cen and Chen Ji looked at each other, and they both saw incomparable shock and anger in each other's eyes. For their own selfishness, they regarded the people of the world as worthless, like ants, and they had no remorse, so they personally supported the A formidable enemy...what a queen of Daning!

This queen is not only stupid, but also insane.

Thinking of being raised by such a woman, Chen Ji felt a chill in his heart.

Yin Cen asked again, "You know, is there any evidence for these contacts between Tak Hulun and the queen?"

Yin Cistan thought for a while and said, "I once saw a letter written by the queen, which was full of words scolding Tak Hulun for being ungrateful, wolfish and ambitious, but after reading it, Tak Khurun ​​just smiled and burned the letter. I don't know if there are any other letters left."

Yin Cen nodded, and tightly held Yin Tsan's hand, which was limp in his palm, and then looked at Yin Tsan's face, after speaking such a long paragraph, it seemed that he had exhausted his last strength, and even opened his mouth. The eyes can't do it.

Yin Cistan's eyelashes flickered, she just wanted to take a good look at her brother, she thought he died in the arena, she cried to death, and heard that he was rescued and escaped, day and night after that We all pray for my brother, may he live in peace and not have to be as frightened as I am.

Wu Ye'er finally came back and brought back an old doctor who was carrying a medicine box and was dragged staggeringly by Wu Ye'er. Lin Moyan called everyone else out, leaving only Yin Cen to accompany Yin Cistan. .

The doctor rested his fingers on the pulse for a while, then sighed deeply and said to Yin Qi, "The fetus in the lady's womb has traveled a long distance before it is safe, and there are signs of a miscarriage."

In fact, it doesn't need to be told by the doctor, Yin Cistan can feel it herself, the pain in her abdomen is endless, she has been enduring it all the time, but now the pain is so painful that her whole body is sweating profusely, and the signs of miscarriage are more and more obvious, she knows that this test cannot be avoided.

Yin Cen was anxious, and repeatedly forced the doctor to find a solution, but the old doctor was also very helpless, "If it had been a day or two earlier, there might be a solution, but now we have reached this point, we can only let the fetus come out first, and then try our best to adjust. "

Yin Cun bit her lips tightly, Yin Cun knew that she was in pain, but he was helpless, blood was already dripping from Yin Cun's body, Lin Moyan asked a few servants to come in with pots of hot water, but Yin Cun never shouted loudly, It's just that his face turned paler in an instant.

Yin Cen stood guard at the door of the tent, feeling so powerless for the first time.

After tossing from noon until night, suddenly the servants shouted in panic, "It's not good, doctor! Madam is bleeding!"

Yin Cen and the old doctor were shocked, and couldn't care less, Yin Cen rushed into the tent, filled with blood, the servant stammered, "My sister gave birth back then, and her symptoms were like this, madam, this is a blood collapse... ..."

Hemorrhage after childbirth, in such a desolate place, and in an era where medical conditions are so backward, blood collapse is almost equivalent to death.

Yin Cen was almost going crazy, grabbed the doctor's hand and shouted, "Quickly find a way! If you can't stop the bleeding, you..."

The doctor was also sweating profusely, opened the medicine box, took out a roll of silver needles, spread them out, and stuck the needles into Yin Cistan's body.

After a while, the servants found that the bleeding seemed to have stopped, but before Yin Cun's heart calmed down, Yin Cun coughed violently, followed by more blood gushing out of his body.

The doctor withdrew the needle, "It's useless, and the gods can't save it."

Yin Cen didn't know when his face was full of tears, and he drove everyone out of the house.

"Brother." Yin Yan's voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.

Yin Cen stepped forward and squatted in front of his sister.

"Don't... be sad." Yin Cun's complexion was like paper, and he reached out his hand to touch the corner of Yin Cen's jaw.

"I'm very happy, really, these years... the only wish is to see my brother again, and now that I see you, I'm satisfied." Yin Tsan spoke slowly.

Yin Cen broke down in tears, the first time he slipped a word, he didn't take good care of his younger sister after the death of his adoptive parents, causing both of them to be captured in the military camp; the second slip of the tongue, he didn't try his best to find Yin Ceng when Shen Cang came to save him , took her away; the third slip of the tongue, and finally brought her out, but made her drag a pregnant sick body long distances, eventually causing serious trouble.

From the beginning to the end, he did not do what he said, he is not a good brother.

Even when Yin Cistan was dying, he was still comforting him, don't blame yourself, don't feel sad.

Yin Cun watched as Yin Cistan gradually closed his eyes, his brows were serene, and he felt that a part of his body was also dying.

Death is no stranger to Yin Cen. He has experienced manslaughter in his previous life, faced the threat of death several times in this life, and taken the lives of others. He felt himself stronger every time he faced death.

Except this time, Yin Cen felt that he was extremely weak, extremely powerless, and extremely wished that he had never been in this world.
