Chapter 97: Declaration
After breakfast, Li Qing brought a few guards to the courtyard of Noqia who was detaining Naf, but Jie Wei did not come with him again. The county had too many complicated affairs, so Li Qing asked him to handle official affairs and changed him to accompany him. In fact, it was mainly to serve as an interpreter for Li Qing. In Jie Wei's opinion, the general was here to inspect and would definitely ask for details of the implementation of the new policy at any time. Because yesterday, the official and Jie Wei worked hard and did their homework, so the official was still wearing two dark circles at this time. If Jie Wei knew that Li Qing was just a fight with Shang Haibo about picking up girls, he would come out to relax and relieve his anger, he would be so angry that he would vomit a mouthful of blood.
Li Qing was very relieved about Chongxian. This was his old home. He had been working hard here for a year. When Xu Yunfeng left, he must have been a reliable and reliable person. Therefore, he didn't think of anything to ask. As for visiting Nev, it was just because he came here and was on a whim. For these two people, he did not have a practical solution. He could only be detained temporarily and see Bayar's reaction before talking about it.
The weather is good today, and it is not yet midsummer. The morning sun is still very gentle. It shines on people, warm. Some dew that has not yet been dried yet is lying on the leaves. If you accidentally fall down, a colorful light passes through the air and disappears into the soil without a trace.
When Hou Wu opened the gate of the courtyard, Li Qing saw that Nefu, dressed in a local girl, had already been waiting in the courtyard. Nuoqia's face was full of reluctance and twisted his body, as if he was extremely uncomfortable with these Hanfu's clothes that were very complicated. It was possible that he was wearing Nefu's forced. Li Qing thought, otherwise, with this guy's temperament, he would really dare to wear a white general's uniform and follow him out.
"Let's go, two, let's go and see the scenery of Chongxian!" Li Qing signaled to bring the horse to the two of them. Nuoqia jumped onto the horse, but ignored Nefu in this dress and stood in front of the horse. He didn't know what to do. This was also Nuoqia's own negligence. Grassland women have always been on the flat ground, not to mention Nefu's skills are far better than ordinary grassland women. But Nefu's outfit is now, how can he get on the horse by himself?
Li Qing laughed, jumped off the horse, took his horse, walked to Nefu, reached out to pat the back of the war horse. The horse had been following Li Qing for a long time, and was another good horse with a lot of spirituality, quite versus the master's wishes. Li Qing slapped and then bent his front legs and half-kneeled in front of Nefu, "Princess Nefu, I was negligent. I should bring a carriage, but now I can only get on the horse!" Nefu was blushing and sat sideways on the horse, glanced at Nuoqia fiercely, his eyes full of anger. Li Qing took the war horse and handed it to a guard on the side, and said, "You lead the horse for the princess!" It was not until this time that Nuoqia discovered his mistake and glanced at Nefu embarrassedly.
"General Li, aren't you afraid that we will take the opportunity to run away if you take us out like this?" Nuoqia asked faintly as he looked at Li Qing with only a few guards with him.
Li Qing smiled and said, "If there was only General Nuo, I would definitely tie you up and then get a large group of people to look at you, but now? If you can't run away, you won't run away."
Nuoqia curled his lips and knew that the other party was saying the truth. Even if he let him go now, he would definitely not leave. Neu is in the hands of the other party, and the guards who were captured by Neu were not sure where they were cleared by Li Qing, and they were still alive. They were not as valuable as themselves and the princess, and they might have their heads cut off by Li Qing and reported them as military achievements. Thinking of this, they stared at Li Qing hatred and looked at him again and again.
"I'm sorry, General Nuo, I'm the one who dragged you down!" Neff whispered. Now she finally realized that if she hadn't happened to be in Shanglin that day, Nuoqia would have been able to escape. As a result, because of herself, Nuoqia, who was arrogant, surrendered and became a prisoner.
"The princess is so serious. It is because the generals did not protect the princess well, which made the princess suffer this humiliation." Nuoqia immediately bowed.
"Okay, two, let's go. There are quite a few places we are going to today. If you don't get faster, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back!" Li Qing looked at the two of them with a smile.
At this time, the fields were already lively, and countless people carrying hoes and leading animal husbandry began to walk towards their own fields. Due to the lack of young and middle-aged population in Chongxian, many women dragged their small children to the field, put their children on the field, and worked on their own. Gradually, the babies who could climb and jump gathered together and started fighting. From time to time, the little babies who were bullied cried and went to find their mother. After getting comfort and laughed, they couldn't stand the loneliness of the person. Seeing the little friends having fun, they would go back to their own mother again.
Slowly, the old man was tired after working for a while, so he sat on the ridge of the field, smoked a bag of cigarettes, swallowed and vomited, showing great comfort. After a while, he took a rest and then excitedly took care of the land. Under the new policy of Chong County, except for a few of the outputs in these fields, the others were all their own. The more they collected in autumn, the more they got, and they had to carefully serve the land father-in-law. There were also some military families who had completely own land and did not need to pay a cent of tax, so they were more motivated.
Laughing, crying, and the cries of the livestock, and some women with good voices sang the songs from Chongxian loudly. It was very lively along the way.
The green seedlings are already full of green, and the green seedlings are quite tall, green and plump, and people can't help but look forward to the fruitful autumn harvest when they see them. The desolation created by the war is now gone. It has to be said that humans are quite capable of healing themselves. If it weren't for the towering graves on the slopes in the distance, and the red flowers and green paper that could barely be distinguished on the tombs, then this place would almost be similar to the paradise.
After walking for a long time, someone recognized Li Qing and his group. From time to time, someone walked from the fields to the roadside and bowed to Li Qing. Li Qing also smiled and asked about their health, this year's life, family situation, and food can support the autumn harvest? It is complex and careful, almost all the problems that may be encountered in a family, which surprised Nev and Noqia very much. Both of them are nobles on the grassland. In their eyes, these common people are all untouchables. Giving them a smile is a great gift, and they know so many family issues.
"General Li, it seems that you are really good at bribing people's hearts. Will you not let these untouchables be devoted to you after asking about your well-being?" Nuoqia said sarcastically.
Li Qing said seriously: "General Nuo, why do you say they are untouchables? In my opinion, they are no different from me. It can also be said that they are my parents of food and clothing. Think about it, without them, what we eat, what we wear, and what we use to resist your invasion. It can be said that it is precisely because of their support that I have my current status and power. Like those ordinary herders on your grassland, without those herders, how do you live and do you grazing? Do you know how to milk? Do you know how to make butter tea? I am afraid that I don't even know the simplest way to raise cattle and sheep well?"
Nuoqia sneered, "I am a noble grassland eagle. My mission is to ride a war horse and pick up weapons to fight."
Li Qing snorted: "Yes, take up the weapons, rob, rob, kill these ordinary people, rob the food they have worked hard to grow, cloth they have worked hard to weave, and then use these blood-filled spoils to support your luxurious life, right?" Li Qing raised his horse whip and pointed at the people who were still farming in the fields.
Nuoqia blushed and retorted: "General Li, you don't need to teach me a lesson. In the winter, you went to the grassland and how did you deal with the Angu tribe? Men, women, young and old, and eliminate the roots. If you really want to use the means, you are more cruel than us."
Li Qing laughed loudly, "General Nuo, you admit that this is cruel, but I only did it once, and you will be angry, because I killed your comrades, but you come to my Dingzhou to plunder every year. Tell me, is there many Dingzhou people who died in your hands, or are there many grassland peoples who died in my hands? I killed the Angu tribe because I couldn't let you know the secret path of Jimingze. At that time, I was too weak to resist the counterattack of any of your tribes. I had to do it, but is it necessary for you to attack every year?"
Nuoqia couldn't help but speak out. He was not an unreasonable person, but how could he make it clear about the hatred between the two tribes after just this argument?
"Whenever kills, the murderer can always find all kinds of reasons!" Nuoqia said reluctantly.
Unexpectedly, Li Qing nodded in agreement, "You are right. For both of us, unless one side falls down and is unable to start a war again and completely surrenders to each other, the war will continue and the revenge will not stop. This is our destiny!" Li Qing glanced at the other side deeply.
Nuoqia sneered, "It's almost done, the Bayar Grand Chanyu will soon defeat you and kill you!"
Li Qing laughed to the sky, "Is that right? Nuoqia, do you know how big the Great Chu is? Just one Dingzhou can make it difficult for you to advance. There are dozens of states in the Great Chu. You can fight each state like you, but you don't know how much blood can flow on the grassland!"
He paused for a moment and then said, "So, don't be surprised when you return to the grassland in the future, General Nuo, when the right time, I will let people go back and tell Bayar, Oh, Princess Nev, sorry, I should call him the Great Shanyu, and tell him to wait, I, Li Qing, will fight to the grassland until he is convinced. In my hands, I will end the hundreds of years of revenge between the grassland and the Central Plains, because they will be one because of me."
When Nuoqia heard Li Qing's almost arrogant declaration, he was stunned. Although Nefu was also shocked, he was more dissatisfied. His eyes flashed and his face was a little flushed. "General Li, it may also be my father who entered the Central Plains and unified the world. At that time, he could still end the vendetta between the grassland and the Central Plains and integrate it into one, but the winner would be Bayar on the grassland, the father I am proud of."
Li Qing raised the whip, and in front of him was the scenery of Chongxian that was like a paradise. At this moment, he really had a momentum of rushing across the mountains and rivers. "Okay, I'm waiting for him, but I see who will be the final winner."
