Chapter 640 The Great Wheel of Life and Death in the Ningdong Snow Sea (4)

Chapter 640 The Great Wheel of Life and Death in the Ningdong Snow Sea ([-])

The weather was cold, and in the valley where the wind and snow fell, the atmosphere became more lively because of the arrival of more than [-] people.

The 2000 people who came from Luliang Mountain were arranged on one side of the valley. There were some broken tiles and ruins in the original village, and the living quarters had not yet been erected. There were piles of bonfires, and they started cooking, and everyone in Luliang set up tents around the bonfires.There were still people coming and going in the valley, and some Zhuji members who had been to Luliang Mountain came to visit them, and they were filled with righteous indignation when they talked about their friends who had died recently.

Not long after, Qin Shaoqian and others came to see them, and the surroundings instantly quieted down. Everyone gathered in the open space. Qin Shaoqian said some words of welcome and thanks. After that, Ning Yi stood in front of the crowd for a while, glanced over, and waved Waving: "The war is fierce and dangerous, I never thought you would come here. But thank you for coming. Okay, let's go to work, and I will come to chat with you when I have time."

He spoke briefly, and it was not easy for everyone to answer, but some people saw Ning Yi's weak body, and there was still concern in their eyes.

Ning Yi has a high prestige in Luliang Mountain, married Hongti, took over Liang Bingfu's class, and then planned everything in the mountain in an orderly manner.In Luliangshan's army, most of them are people who have lived a hard life before. More than half of them have seen Ning Yi. Even if they haven't, after joining Qingmu Village, they have heard countless times about that foreign scholar. For such an identity, from Liang Bingfu to Ning Yi, in Qingmu Village, it is already a legend.

When Liang Bingfu of Qingmu Village was alive, he was barely able to maintain the entire village. At that time, perhaps no one thought how powerful he was, but after Liang Bingfu passed away, life in the mountains became easier again. , painstakingly, in the memories of everyone, it finally fermented into something that can make people cry.

Part of this touch naturally comes from Ning Yi's operation.After Liang Bingfu passed away, Ning Yi finally told the story of Liang Bingfu and Master Hongti in his mourning for Liang Bingfu. When Liang Bingfu encountered bandits in the mountains, he was rescued by Hongti's master. Because of a promise, he stayed in Luliang Mountain for the whole time. In the second half of her life, she was never married until her death, and had no children under her knees.When Ning Yi repeated that relationship and what Liang Bingfu said when he was dying to everyone in a flat tone, half of the Luliang people who heard it at that time cried.

Whether it is sincerity or manipulation.Some people, because of their moral cleanliness, think that when the elderly are dying, they may not want their privacy to be known by others.Ning Yi had no way to ask these questions, but after such a statement, in Luliang Mountain, from Hong Ti's master, to Liang Bingfu, to Hong Ti, Ning Yi, the leaders of the three generations really gathered into the soul of Qingmu Village.But in other places in Luliang Mountain, when you sing and I come on stage, the new village master comes, and there are many people who kill the old village master and take the position, but there is no such thing that people can really remember in their hearts.

Afterwards, when everyone recalled Liang Bingfu, many things would naturally be exaggerated because of being moved.But regardless of whether Liang Bingfu portrayed by everyone is the real appearance of the old man, Ning Yi believes that if the old man in the sky is really alive, he will be pleased with the appearance of the stockade later. Of course, the old man guarded the stockade at the beginning. The master mentioned, now that they are reunited in the sky, they are probably already happy and happy, so they don't care what the people on the ground think.

As for the real old man, as long as Hong Ti, Ning Yi and others remember it, that's fine.

***************

"This time, to be honest, I don't want you to come here. The Jurchens are very powerful, cough... You have also seen the situation in this place. On September 25, 22 people were defeated, and then they were beaten one after another. Three times, this number has expanded to 33 people, Lu Liangshan pieced together, finally saved some things, I don't want you to be smashed here..."

"It's copper or iron, it's always produced in the fire. I came here today and saw these people outside, they seem to be in good spirits, they don't look like defeated soldiers."

"It took a lot of effort to turn people's hearts around. Many people died, and others took the blame. Recently, we gathered more than 1 people and turned around a little. We said that we can barely fight a war. But Zongwang's tens of thousands of people are powerful soldiers sweeping the world, the most powerful ones, even if they are two against one, we may not have a chance of winning, there is really nothing to be optimistic about."

"...It is precisely because of this that we have to come here even more. I asked them when we set off, and the brothers in the mountains are willing to fight this battle for you. You said at the beginning that we train soldiers for the sake of the Jurchens. The Liao soldiers are powerful, we have seen them before, but the Jurchens haven't seen them before. But, you were injured again..."

Fingers on the table, lightly touching fingers.

Squeak, squeak, there are sounds of entering and leaving the door.

The fingers retracted again.

Juan'er was arranging the bedding outside, and then ran out again.

"When I left, Qingmu didn't have so many war horses. When I came here today, I was also taken aback. In Wurui Camp, there are only slightly more cavalry available..."

"There are still hundreds of horses left in the mountains. According to your previous instructions, Liheng, we have been trying to find a way to buy horses. The Jin people banned the circulation of war horses, and the Wu Dynasty could not buy them, but we did business on both sides, but we had some contacts. Later We got in touch with a line among the Jin people, and the other party was very fond of the rare calligraphy and paintings of the Wu Dynasty. We worked hard and picked some good ones to clear up the relationship. But the next thing is interesting. We contacted and said that although his master likes these things, they are just arty, unable to distinguish the authenticity of the objects, as long as the joints below are opened, he can pass them off as fake ones and pass them off as good ones... In fact, he has to look for those top-grade rare calligraphy and paintings everywhere. , It was not easy for us, so we spent some money to open up the joints, and then these war horses came over continuously. They thought we were going to create a counterfeit to the Wu Dynasty... It's a pity for the original ones."

"Don't be afraid of genuine products. In business, you need to pay attention to credibility. As long as you have a horse, he wants good things. I will give him as much as you want. Now is not the time to cherish antique calligraphy and paintings. However, this may leave hidden dangers. It is not easy to have such a relationship, and it would be a pity if it were broken. By the way, what is the name of that person?"

"Now, after the investigation, it seems that there is a high-ranking official named Moxin behind the other party. It's hard to say whether there is anyone behind. Then, should we give them the real thing? I'm afraid that after giving it, the good things will not be returned. .”

"Let's look at the present first. If I need it for a long time in the future, I will think about it. In this situation, calligraphy, painting, curiosities and artworks are nothing. Once the Bianliang is broken, all the altars and pots will be smashed. I would rather use the whole Bianliang City, in exchange for the Jurchen's [-] elite soldiers."

"Ah."

"However, how is the training on weekdays? It looks good to dismount, but what about combat effectiveness? What about the usual training?"

"According to what you said in the mountains, Liheng, you have trained well. Try to charge the formation as neatly as possible, and shoot arrows immediately. The land in Luliang is uneven, and it is more difficult to connect the formations than on the flat ground. It is much easier to get here. Oh, and we used to shoot right next to these horses..."

"Grandpa, I've taken some medicine."

"Oh, so... hiss, it's so bitter..."

"Hey, Miss Lu."

"Hmm... Miss Juaner, hello."

……

"...Ah, I hate drinking this medicine, it's too bitter...Oh, did you also do the training for shooting?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. We also brought elm wood cannons this time. There are a few iron cannons in the middle that have been tested. The iron that comes out of the stove is good or bad...and those mines..."

Buzzing, buzzing, the two chatted in the room for a long time, Juan'er swayed at the door a few times, and was finally stopped by Ning Yi with a smile.

"What's the matter, don't shake it, just talk about it."

"Uh... Miss Lu's room, I've already tidied up, I'm thinking... when will I lead Miss Lu there..."

Juan'er stood there upright, maintaining her image as a maid, Ning Yi's mouth twitched, and she wanted to laugh, Hong Ti glanced at him, bowed her head and stood up.

"Just arrived here, I still have to see how Han Jing and the others are camping. Miss Juan'er will take me to see where the room is now."

"Okay." Juan'er nodded and smiled.

The shack where Hong Ti lives is actually not far away, Juan'er led her there, and turned back after a while.Ning Yi is watching various news reports in today's camp under the lamp.Just now to entertain Hong Ti, there were some snacks on the table, Juan'er quietly went in to clean up, and then quietly tidied up the bed, just now she went out to sit quietly in the small cubicle outside, waiting for Ning Yi's orders .However, when Ning Yi was rubbing her eyes under the oil lamp, she couldn't help but go in carefully.

"Uncle."

"Ok?"

"Grandpa, are you angry?"

"What about Hong Ti? When have I ever been angry with you for such a thing?"

"Then...Young Master, you and Miss Lu..."

"Ah... you mean, is there such a relationship..."

"Uh...I'm talking about...the kind of relationship...uh, it's just..." Juan'er thought for a while, and it was a little hard to say.Ning Yi laughed.

"It's more than a confidante or something. Well, yes, my relationship with Hongti should be the kind of relationship I have with Miss Yunzhu. I had it when I went to Luliang. This matter, I Some feel sorry for Tan'er, Yunzhu and the others. However, until now, there is no way to lie."

Juan'er's complexion changed, and she stood there with her fingers twisted together, almost turning blue: "I...I didn't mean...that...that..."

"No." Ning Yi stood up, gently pulled La Juan'er's arm, and asked her to sit down at the table, "You sit, you don't have to do this. From the standpoint of... the family, or angry at Tan'er , you are not wrong. Anyway, in this respect, I have the problem of being fickle, and when I get to the bottom of it, I feel a little sorry for your young lady, Yunzhu, or Hongti."

"A man...three wives and four concubines, actually..." Juan'er's voice was as thin as a mosquito, and it was a bit difficult to speak.

"No, that's not what I said. I used to be willing to make excuses for myself. I'm sorry, I can't let go, I'm soft-hearted. On the practical level, I'm just a playboy. Your lady is very conniving to me in this regard. , Yunzhu and the others are also, maybe it's an inducement, but in the final analysis, it's something I did myself."

"You, Miss, Chan'er, Miss Yunzhu, and Miss Jin'er are different from others. Other men have three wives and four concubines, and they all use women as playthings..."

"Well, so I can still comfort myself." Ning Yi laughed, and then paused slightly, "Anyway, the whole thing is like this. But... Miss Lu is indeed going out to inspect the camping situation tonight Yes, moreover, she has 2000 people under her command, and more than 1 people here are watching her, so it is impossible for her to live with me blatantly, so it is also necessary for you to arrange a room for her."

He sighed: "Anyway, this may be the situation our family will face in the future, as long as you know it. I have tried my best to restrain myself, no matter whether you think your uncle is a good person or a bad person, uh, even if you think he is a Bad guys, I can tolerate a few slanders in my heart, or a few words of abuse in my mouth. There are still many things at hand, and I have to ask you to do them, just don't give up on them."

Ning Yi said these words with a smile, Juan'er, who had always been quiet, blushed at this time: "I, I don't think my uncle is a bad person, I... I am just a maid, and... My uncle is a good person."

"Oh, good card..."

"Then... I heard that Miss Lu is a hero of the rivers and lakes, a master of martial arts, and is very good at healing. Then I...shall I ask her to come here. I...I'll go to live somewhere else..." Juan He looked at Ning Yi eagerly.

Ning Yi frowned and thought for a moment: "Uh, I think...the injury on my body may really require her to help, Juan'er, you...clean up a room for yourself, that's fine."

"...Well." Juan'er showed a disappointed look on her face, she nodded, went out to clean up the room, and moved the bedding...

After she left, Ning Yi looked at the door, sighed, and then pouted: "Now you know that I am a bad person..."

*****************

The 2000 people from Qingmu Village arrived at night, and they had to settle down. Apart from the issue of tents and the placement of war horses, there were also many issues to be dealt with after camping, such as rules and guards.Although Hongti came to Ning Yi, in fact, it was impossible to talk about private matters. After leaving Ning Yi, he came to check the camping situation, and coordinated with the person in charge of the original valley on patrol, deployment and other issues.

Fortunately, most of the people in charge of the daily affairs in the valley at this time are from Zhuji, and some have been to Luliang Mountain. It is not troublesome for the two parties to coordinate.Hong Ti showed up there and made a tour, but the specific affairs were handed over to Han Jing.In fact, the image of Hongti in the cottage is not friendly. If it were not so, many people would come to ask about Ning Yi's injury.

In this way, until the matter was roughly understood, it was almost late at night when we returned.A lone figure stood at the door of her room while rubbing his hands. Looking carefully, it was Juan'er.

"Miss Juan'er." Hong Ti was a little surprised, "It's so late, are you waiting for me?"

"Miss Lu." Juan'er bowed to her, "I...I came here to apologize."

"Huh? Why?"

"I...well, between you and uncle..."

Juan'er was a bit hesitant to speak, but Hong Ti laughed, went to hold her somewhat cold hand, and then went to open the door: "Come in first, let's talk, the room is warmer."

In fact, the two of them at this time had met before, and that happened in Hangzhou.When Ning Yi was trapped in the city of Hangzhou, Tan'er turned back to look for him. On the way, he walked with Hong Ti, who was a chivalrous woman, and Juan'er was there, but at that time, Hong Ti was in a disguised state, disguised as someone in her early 30s Woman, although the two sides had a conversation at that time, but now Hongti saw her with her real face. Although Juan'er knew that her opponent was the chivalrous woman back then, she still felt strange in her heart.

And Hong Ti's true temperament is actually quite gentle. When she first met Ning Yi, she seemed tough, but inside she was more or less a village girl, so that she would be fooled by Ning Yi's stories later.It's just that she has been the owner of the village for so many years, especially with Ning Yi's help, Qingmu Village has been on the right track and has continued to expand. She is also a master, and she always has a master's bearing.Holding Juan'er's hand at this time, Juan'er felt that the palm was warm and soft, even her body couldn't help warming up, and she felt kind in her heart.Then she began to say what she thought was the most important thing.

"Miss Lu, you are very skilled in martial arts. You have a way to deal with my uncle's injury. My uncle has been injured for more than a month. He has worked hard day and night, and the injury is also slow to heal. I am afraid that he will leave the root cause of the disease. I gave it to you earlier. When my uncle was taking the medicine, I saw Miss Lu and you also smelled it, you are a master, is there something wrong with the medicine..."

Pulled into the room by Hongti, Juan'er was still chattering, Hongti asked her to sit down in the dark room, went over to open the fire pocket with a wave, lit the oil lamp in the room, and came back to sit in front of Juaner , took Juan'er's hand: "Of course I've seen Li Heng's injury, the medicine is right for the symptoms, but now I'm worried about you, standing in the snow at such a late hour for so long, you have spent a lot of time Well, if you continue like this, you will also get sick."

"Uh, I, I'm in good health. My uncle and the others are really tired. They were seriously injured at the beginning, just to burn the food and grass that the Jurchens robbed. After being injured, they haven't had much rest. My uncle can sit up now. At that time, I had already started to do things. At that time, everyone died, and my uncle never stopped to save people..."

While talking, Juan'er shook her head, expressing that she was fine, her temperament was cold, and when she spoke, she didn't have much sad expression on her face, but after speaking, her eyes were still slightly red.Hong Ti listened and nodded.

"There is nothing they can do about it. When a person is seriously injured, he can't stop breathing. When he survives the most difficult time, he will be able to improve. The same is true for martial arts. Li Heng uses it indiscriminately to break the six realms, which is harmful to the body. I have warned him many times, but there is nothing I can do. He can only use it when it is time to use it, and I can only recuperate his body after the incident... Miss Juaner, if you don’t tell me about these things, I will too. Will do my best.”

Juan'er nodded and said that she had moved out of Ning Yi's room and went to live next door.Hong Ti's face was also slightly red: "Actually, you don't have to move out, I'm... not good at being there all the time, his current body, it's better for someone to take care of him at night, I'm... …It will take some time to push the blood for him, and it will be good for his health, but after it is done, um… I can ask you to go back, although it is a bit troublesome.”

"No trouble, no trouble." Juan'er shook her head quickly and said, "I can wait for Miss Lu to call me before going back. My uncle needs someone to take care of me at night, so it's more convenient for me. I... I belong to the Su family Maid."

Speaking of this, he showed a cute smile, and his cold-looking face turned red again.

So not long after, Hong Ti went to Ning Yi's room to push the blood for him and recuperate his body.Seeing Hong Ti coming over, Ning Yi was actually somewhat surprised, he thought Juan'er would obstruct this matter to some extent.He has already received red grapes to push the palace and pass blood. When he was in Luliang Mountain, in order to make Ning Yi healthy, red grapes were often made for him. This kind of method of promoting blood circulation with human power is similar to massage, but Naturally, there are many differences. It is very painful for Ning Yi to interfere with the blood flow by external force, especially now that he is injured, and the blood vessels are already stagnant. It hurt even more.

The day when the cavalry from Qingmu Village arrived was the eighth day of November of this year.Since then, Zhuji has been continuing the work of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness. They braved the heavy snow and went through the barren mountains one after another, trying to move all the people out of this large area on the outskirts of Bianliang.And the daily training in the valley is also running continuously. After the people from Qingmu Village arrived, the two sides had some competitions and exchanges.

In the case of continuous heavy snow, although the Wu Dynasty still has control over the Yellow River Ferry, due to the gradual difficulty of grain adjustment, the increasing demand for heating materials, the disorder and even paralysis of the supply system, the situation of the troops stationed in the valley of Xia Village , also suffered from many problems.However, the cold weather made the day a bit tougher, but it was always a niggle that could be overcome.

The real big trouble is the Jurchens who have been preparing to attack the city in Moutuogang. If Ning Yilai can generalize the strength of these northerners, it is: they are in the weather of tens of degrees below zero in the northeast. A race of people who survive without heating.

Although the technology of pan kang is already available at this time, in the north, it is something that rich families can enjoy.Before the Jurchen uprising, the living conditions were difficult. In the cold wind of minus [-] to [-] degrees, relying on things such as tents and bonfires to keep warm, hunt, and survive is absolutely unbearable for modern people.

Although there are geographical differences between the north and the south, the winter in the south is wet and cold, even if the temperature is not so low, it will make people feel sad, but for these Jurchens, attacking the city in a snowy day is actually not as impossible as imagined.

Almost everyone knew in their hearts that sooner or later they would organize a large-scale attack on Bianliang City, and by then, Bianliang City's defense would face a truly huge test.

As time progressed, Ning Yi and others were training soldiers in the valley. The Jurchens manufactured and even improved various siege equipment in Moutuogang. On November [-]th, the heavy snow stopped temporarily, and the white snow had already covered Bianliang Everything around, when the scouts of the Jurchen army were sweeping and patrolling around, they suddenly intercepted a message.

After this information was quickly passed to the Moutuogang camp, it was passed to the top of the Jurchens, and then it was passed to the case of Generalissimo Zongwang of the Eastern Route Army...
