Ji snow down, Xue Wuyi stood alone in front of the window thinking.

When he came to Liangzhou secretly, he expected that the relationship between Chang Zaichang and the Northern Warlord would surely invite the Northern Warlord to Liangzhou to help. He came in person to discuss a deal with Xiao Zhige.

Xi dung has been in a corner these years. On the surface, it seems that it is still peaceful, but since the first king died, it has been surging underground for a long time.

Although the descendants of the former king were thin, only one young son was left. However, the Wang family of Fuyang, the young son's mother's family, is still prosperous, and has been dissatisfied with the fact that he is an outsider who controls the young leader and secretly teases the Empress Dowager to interfere in the affairs of the court. Moreover, several brothers and children of the former king are prosperous, hoping that once the young leader dies early, he will be able to rise to the throne. Although he has mastered half of the officials in these years, the remaining half of the officials are their own masters. Driven by interests, his reform was delayed.

In the twinkling of an eye, ten years later, the young master has grown into half a young man. However, under the instigation of the Empress Dowager and people with ulterior motives, he gradually separated from him

If the current situation of the West dung people is allowed to develop, the oppressed West dung people will suffer a great deal sooner or later. In his heart, he was worried and decided to carry out the new law after a lot of weighing. However, the reform law negotiated with his confidants was short of money and people. In addition, all forces obstructed it, so it could not be carried out.

A gust of cool wind came. Xue Wuyi hit his lips with his fist. He coughed twice in a dull voice. He thought of the young man he met unexpectedly in the Liangzhou market today.

hands as like as two peas, and Xue's clothes are slightly closed, and the face and the portrait of the collection are compared.

It's just that Arnold's face is a little rounder and her eyes are more gentle. The man in the portrait, though with the same appearance, has more fierce eyes.

One is like the bright moon, the other is the burning sun.

Xue Wuyi slowly breathed out his breath, thinking of another entrustment to him before his death -- this is the secret handed down by the Western dung kings of the past dynasties. It is said that it is a legacy left by Xue Chang, the first king of dung in the West. Xue Chang did not know where to hide a number of treasures before he died. No one knows how many treasures there are and where they are hidden. He only handed over a scroll of paintings to his heirs before he died and told them to pass it on from generation to generation. He said that if he saw the person on the scroll one day, he would give it to him and tell him that Xue Chang had paid his debt.

Xue Wuyi didn't know what was involved in it, but the former king solemnly told him that it was a debt owed by Xue's ancestors, and his descendants should help pay it back.

However, it has been hundreds of years since the founding of the people's Republic of China. Even if we have to pay off the debt, the creditor should have died long ago and become a piece of loess underground.

At present, he is short of money. Xue Wuyi is not Xue's blood. He doesn't pay attention to the debt repayment. What he likes is It's a treasure behind the picture.

He studied the painting for many times, but he didn't find any clue. Originally, he had put it down, but he didn't think that this trip to Liangzhou would make him happy. It can't be a coincidence that the young man looks so much like the man in the picture. Maybe the clue to the treasure lies in the man in the painting.

With his fingers gently clasping the lattice of the window, Xue Wuyi thought that when he had found out the details, he might be able to take people back and solve the mystery of the painting.

an Changqing took the child back to Chang's residence.

The child was wrapped up in his robe, which didn't fit him very well. Hair is also messy, hidden in the back of a pair of eyes alert, but also a little uneasy.

Thinking that he had been in the water for a long time, an Changqing asked the servant to prepare water to take him down to wash, and at the same time ordered the kitchen to prepare ginger soup to prevent him from getting cold.

This child is also good, no noise, no trouble, let an Changqing arrangement, and so on to wash and tidy up, put on a slightly larger robe, and with the servants to visit an Changqing.

The child became more and more delicate after he was well dressed. Even the red birthmark under the left eye is not so dazzling.

An Changqing pulled him in front of him, asked him to drink the ginger soup first, and asked him what his name was, but there were other relatives. Although the child was young, he was not stupid and smart. Therefore, an Changqing did not regard him as an ordinary child.

The child said honestly that his name was Yu Xiao. He told me about his own experience.

He said that he had lived in the mountains with his father. Later, his father died of serious illness. Before he died, he told him to find a friend to take refuge with. At that time, he was young. When he came down the mountain, he was not familiar with the land, so he was abducted and sold.

After the abduction, he turned around a few customers, all of whom were despised because he pretended to be dull and stupid. In addition, he had a large birthmark on his face, and gradually no one wanted to buy it back. The man who bought him used to play monkey games. He wanted to find an apprentice. As a result, I found that he was good at diving and underwater breathing, so I came up with an idea and asked him to act like a shark in a water tank. Because of the novelty of the juggling, he also helped the man make a lot of money.

Mentioning this, Yu Xiao was a little angry and said in a crisp voice: "he is not a good man. I always see him go out to gamble and beat me and his daughter-in-law when he comes back."

An Changqing touched his head and said, "it doesn't matter. He has done something bad. Tomorrow, he will ask the officers and soldiers to catch him."

Yu Xiao smell speech immediately smile a small white tooth.An Changqing asked him, "what's your plan? If you have nowhere to go, you can stay by my side and be a child. "

Help people to the end, send Buddha to the West. An Changqing saw that the child fell in love with each other. In addition, he was really young. If he let people out like this, it would be in vain if he was abducted again. After thinking about it, it's not in the way to open more mouths in the general's house, so I have the idea of leaving people behind.

Sure enough, Yu Xiao's eyes widened and nodded childishly: "I do!"

Then he came back and learned from the servants of Chang Fu. He knelt down and saluted an Changqing. He said, "I'm willing to serve you."

An Changqing was so amused by him that she laughed, pulled him up, patted him on the head, and said, "don't care about these empty rites. There's nothing wrong these days. You can have a rest first."

After discussing business with Chang Zaichang, Xiao Zhige comes back to see an Changqing talking to a child with a gentle look. Xiao Zhige's eyebrows jumped, and he came forward and looked down at a small group of Yu Xiao: "where did you come from?"

An Changqing said that he met him on the street: "I'm still young, and I have nowhere to go. Please stay with me first."

Then he said to Yu Xiao, "this is the king of the Northern War. Just call him the Lord."

Yu Xiao suddenly saw Xiao Zhige, instinctively a little afraid, but just think that he was left behind, can't give the childe down, so he strengthened the courage, crisp voice: "see you." After that, he made a nondescript gift.

Xiao Zhige calmed down and told him to get up. Then he went to dinner with an Changqing. Chang Zaichang felt his eyes hurt when he saw them together, so he found an excuse to slip out.

……

Early the next morning, Xiao Zhige and Chang Zaichang took people to the border to negotiate with Xi dung.

At the junction of xidun and Liangzhou, it is a rolling hill. On weekdays, there are few people. Occasionally, the people of the two countries will take goods to the border several times and exchange them for goods on the opposite side.

Now, however, in front of this boundary line, it is Chen Bing of the two countries who have set up their own camps, and the atmosphere is tense.

Xiao Zhige took the lead and went to the front of the battle alone. He said in a deep voice, "can the commander of Shang wish to have a talk?"

Words fall, a man who carries heavy knife steps out slowly. He was dressed in a simple black dress, with long hair tied at the back of his head. Under his high and full forehead, he had eyes as indifferent and attentive as a falcon. Mingming's unremarkable dress, however, his sharp eyes and heavy swords behind him make no one ignore him.

When he got to the front of the battle, he arched his hand and his voice was deep and cold: "Shang que, I've heard a lot about Wang Daming in the Northern War."

"I've heard so much." Xiao Zhige replied politely.

Both of them are not talkative. After being polite, Xiao Zhige goes straight to the topic: "where can I have a talk?"

Shang que said coldly, "my master wants to see Wang Ye. Please come with me."

With that, he went to the dung camp without waiting for Xiao Zhige to agree. Xiao Zhige is not afraid. He has a long leg and a black gold gun on his back. He follows his steps and goes into the West dung camp like no one else.

In the camp, Xue Wuyi has been waiting for a long time.

When Xiao Zhige saw him, he raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't make a sound.

Xue Wuyi looked at him, stepped forward and said with a smile: "I've heard so much about the name of Wang Ye. Today I finally get to see the real face. I'm worthy of being the God of war of Daye."

Xiao Zhige was not a polite person. He pointed to the core and said, "it's just two jadeite mines. It's not worth stirring up Regent Wang Dajia."

Xue Wuyi's smile was even stronger: "the Lord is really a wise man. I came here to talk with him about a business."

As soon as Xiao Zhige's thoughts changed, he understood the idea of Liangzhou. On the surface, Xi Dun was fighting for the emerald mine, but it turned out that the drunken man didn't mean to drink. He just didn't know why he was deliberately attracted here.

Xue Wuyi is very resourceful. He has always been known as a smiling fox. He always let others suffer losses. Now I have come to see him in person. I must have asked for him. Xiao Zhige narrowed his eyes and said in a light voice, "business can be discussed later. Why don't we separate the jadeite first?"

Unfortunately, most of these two jadeite mines are located in xidun and the rest in Liangzhou. But now they found the jadeite, Xiao Zhige will not easily retreat.

"The West dung country is small and not rich. Now we don't trade with Daye. To be honest, this jade has a price but no market in xidun. "

Xue Wuyi observed his expression and said slowly, "if the Lord wants to, I'd like to make a man beautiful. Let these two jadeite mines come out. "

Xiao Zhige's eyebrows moved, and his eyes looked at him more and more sharply: "conditions?"

Xue Wuyi said with a smile, "this is the business I want to talk about with the Lord."

He glanced at shangque, who immediately understood and went to the tent gate to guard. Xue Wuyi lowered his voice and continued: "I use these two jadeite mines to exchange a promise for the Lord."

"Within two years, if the dung doesn't invade Daye, the king will never send troops to the dung."

What are the conditions? Xiao Zhige frowned. He couldn't understand his purpose for a moment.

"Not to mention that Daye and Xi dung have been at peace for many years. Even if I promise, Daye is not my master now." Xiao Zhige reminds a way.Xue Wuyi shook his head and said, "if you can't be the winner today, you may not be the winner tomorrow. In the future, when the Lord can make the decision, just remember this promise. "

"today is not a threat, but tomorrow is not." Xiao Zhige returned his words to him and said in a deep voice: "besides, there is a prime minister in the West dung. How can others sleep soundly on the side of the couch? "

"why ask him? I'm good enough to fight him. " The voice of the shangque at the door is cold and solemn, and its eyes are like blades

"you can't fight, but dung can't fight." Xue Wuyi gathered his eyes and waved: "you go out first and ask Ji Xue to come in."

"yes." Jixue gives him a letter

"everything is as you expected. The portrait in the mansion was stolen. The Empress Dowager secretly sent envoys out of Zai Guo with the portraits and rushed to Yejing. "

"what a bunch of idiots." Xue Wuyi's eyes were slightly cold. In order to overthrow him, he even wants to trade with Daye with the treasure map of Xianwang. It's stupid

"no need."

if you really want to doze off, someone will give you a pillow. With a low smile, Xue Wuyi said, "send the news and the picture to the king of Northern War."

the letter said that the king of Northern Warlords doted on the princess very much. This time, he was always moved by the weight
