Chapter 959

In an inn called Wild Horse in Chengde Hong Fox Village on the bank of the Luan River in Rehe Province, a group of people were sitting there listening to the knights in the village who had just returned from the northern battlefield talking about the various dangers they experienced during their journey in the war, as well as the passionate battles and countless victories.

These knights are real knights, who are the new nobles who have made great contributions in the battle and finally won the knight title awarded by the Qin Palace. Although the knight title is only the penultimate level under the new title of the 15th level of Qin Fan, this is still quite remarkable in the small Red Fox Village.

The knights were not old, each of them was tall and burly, mainly native Xi people, and there was also a Han man who moved later, a Goguryeo and a Hu man from the Western Regions. The knight who was talking had a big beard, but he was not old. He had broad shoulders and a tall figure, but he was a little thin. He wore a military cap with a brim on his head and a brand new double-breasted sea blue military dress. There were also a fiery red military color lace that marked the cavalry service on his shoulders. On his shoulders were two shining warrant officer shoulders, and several commemorative medals were hung on his chest, which were all commemorative medals issued after participating in major battles. In addition, the most dazzling one was the golden Tiger Ben Medal, which was an extremely precious military medal than the commemorative medal.

The straight military dresses looked very neat in the army, but they inevitably looked a little special among the people, especially among the Han people, which was a bit strange to the traditional long robes and big shirts. However, in the Red Fox Village, for most people, this kind of military dress has a bit of a look of Hu. Especially the small lapels, short robes and narrow sleeves, they looked more friendly. Therefore, the knights and nobles who returned to their hometown prefer to wear this kind of military dress rather than round-necked official robes.

The young warrant officer also wore a sword with a scabbard with a gem of gold and silver on his waist, and a pair of high-top cowhide boots with a spur on his waist.

Beside him were five young knights who also won the knights' ranks, but they lacked the gleaming medals and knives, and even their shoulders were just a few bars and no stars. But even so, six noble masters suddenly appeared in a village market, and the knights who came back became heroes of the Red Fox Village market. They are the objects of envy and worship. Every day, many young people from nearby come to visit and listen to them tell the battle stories in the far north.

The owner is also a Xi man, wearing a slightly colored winter cotton coat with united soldiers and a cotton hat with ear protection on his head. He was holding a barrel of homemade pear stew. As early as a few years ago, the Qin vassal had already issued a ban on alcohol due to the huge grain consumption of war. Except for the Qin vassal wineries specializing in the production and sale of wine, other merchants and people are not allowed to make wine. However, this ban is not so rigid, as long as you don’t use grain to make wine. If you use fruits and other things instead of grain to make wine, the government will not pursue it too much. Although pear stew is not as mellow as grain brewed wine, in such a winter, a cup of homemade pear stew is also a good choice.

The shop owner filled a few pottery bowls, and listened to the thin young man talking about how he obtained the battle medals, how he got the medals, and how he was promoted again and again. As he listened, he couldn't help but show a proud expression. Because this knight nobleman wearing military dress and medals was his second son Nabo, who was only twenty years old next year, but he had become a warrant officer and a knight.

The other young people in the nearby villages were even more stunning. Among them were the Xi people, Tuyuhun people, Uighurs, Shatu people, Sogdians, and more were Han people. At that time, the relationship between the tribes on the border was often tense, and even incompatible hatred had almost disappeared. The main reason was the Qin vassal immigration strategy. Now there is no traditional village group divided by tribes. On the vast land, there are different tribes, and even each village has several tribes, and some villages, even hundreds of households, come from more than a dozen different tribes. However, on the border, the Han people who moved from the Central Plains and left their hometown after war, and they occupy the vast majority. This makes it a long time ago that the tense confrontation in the border areas has become a thing of the past.

The Han people lived on the border with people from various tribes, and even lived in the same village together, living next to each other. The hard work, kindness, and bravery and generousness of the Han people both reflected the good side, allowing them to live together harmoniously now.

They sat there in the request of the young people nearby and happily told their experiences in the army. Since many nearby soldiers returned from the army on vacation, this shop has become a club and a club for Qin soldiers. The soldiers who returned home from vacation have slept enough at home. After eating, they can't help but think of their life in the army. This shop has become their gathering point. Every day, everyone comes over on horseback and drinks and chats in this warm shop, as if they are still in the army. The shop, which was originally deserted after winter, is extremely prosperous this year. The regular customers in the shop were mainly the nearby auxiliary soldiers who entered the village and united soldiers, but now, these older auxiliary soldiers have become people who listen to the story. The protagonist here has been replaced by the soldiers who have just returned from the front line.

"A noble knight, a brave warrior, you have seen a lot of worldly appearances!" One of the merchants said, "He is the owner of the mountain store opposite the store. After the winter begins, he has become a regular customer of this store and must come every day.

"Yes! Most of you who originally lived in Middle-earth were already on the north side when you arrived at the Red Fox, but in fact, you can't even touch the edge when you go north from here and walk ten thousand miles." Na Qibo replied with a smile.

"I will have the opportunity to see you in the future." The mountain merchant said, twisting his beard, "The King of Qin has defeated all the tribal armies in the northeast this time. Not long ago, several armies went north. It is estimated that it will not take long before the entire Northeast will completely become the territory of the Qin vassal."

"Yes, like today, the King of Qin will join all directions! I heard that Yanjing is about to establish a new emperor. The King of Qin has ordered that the new emperor will be officially established in Yanjing City on New Year's Day. I heard that an unprecedented military parade and celebration will be held. It is said that the New Year's Day will be celebrated for seven days, and the whole world will celebrate together and have fun with the people." Another Han businessman who runs grocery stores in the village market said.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, have you heard it wrong? How could the King of Qin support others to be the emperor? Wouldn't it be better for the King of Qin to be the emperor himself?"

"Yes, yes, the King of Qin is in charge, and our lives seem to be successful. If someone changes to the dragon throne, I don't know if there will be any changes!" A Han man who fled from the Central Plains to the Qin vassal state and finally moved here said worriedly.

"Don't worry about eating carrots and eating them salty. Who is the King of Qin? No matter who is the emperor in the world, the real leader must be His Highness of Qin. If you establish a new emperor, is this called "who is the emperor..."

"Hold the emperor to command the princes!" the village principal of the village interjected.

"Yes, that's what it means."

However, their words were interrupted by Na Qibo, who said, "Don't say anything randomly. Where did you hear these shadowless words? His Highness of Qin is Optimus Prime of the Tang Dynasty. He was a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. He suppressed the rebels and rebels for the Tang Dynasty, conquered the enemy and expanded the territory for the Tang Dynasty. He was a great loyal minister. How could the Qin Dynasty's vassal officials do such a thing as abolishing the emperor? Only those powerful officials and treacherous officials can come out. How could the Qin Dynasty be such a person? Don't spread the news. In short, the above has never officially mentioned the establishment of the emperor on New Year's Day." After staying in the military camp for a long time, now that Qibo can also say some high-sounding words.

The businessman was a little unbelievable, "How is this possible? If the King of Qin did not support the new emperor, would he still have to go to Chang'an or Chengdu to be loyal?"

"Oh, this is not possible. The emperor in Chengdu only knows how to play, and the world is ruined by him. The emperor today is only in his teens, and he is also established by eunuchs. The young emperor supported by these eunuchs did not know how to govern the world. The old King of Qin cannot be at their mercy for a little reputation."

The people in the store began to talk about it. They were different from the people in the Central Plains. As a border, especially the land far away from Yanshan, which was originally the Xi people, they lived in the land far away from Yanshan. Everything about them was closely related to the King of Qin and shared the same kindness. For them, they wished that the King of Qin would put on a dragon robe, sit on the dragon throne, and be the emperor as the emperor. In this way, they no longer had to worry about any recurrence. They lived under the rule of the Tang Dynasty for decades, but there were few good days, and they were no longer willing to return to their original life. As for loyalty and righteousness, for them, half of the flying tiger money was not worth it compared to their future destiny.

Compared with those people's concerns, Na Qibo, who has now become a new nobleman of the Warrant Officer of the Imperial Guard Corps, is very optimistic. He believes that it will not matter whether the King of Qin is called emperor or who is the emperor. His life in the army, especially during the war in the Northeast, has learned the new knowledge that what the title of the king and ministers, the great righteousness and other things are very vain. He has only been a soldier and personally participated in the Northeast.
