[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 287 [English]
byChapter 273, Showing the Mountain
Mo Sanchuan is east of Gedal. It is famous for the Sanchuan flowing into the desert. There are dozens of miles of barren Gobi desert, only dotted with tung trees.It was already dark in Qudu at this moment, but it was still evening here.
Xiao Chiye rested his arms on his head and watched the last sunset.
The sky in Mosanchuan is so vast that if you lie on the sand and look at it for a long time, you will have the illusion that you are being embraced by the sky.The setting sun is like flowing syrup, and the sticky light floods the earth.
He suddenly fell to Xiao Chiye’s side and jumped onto his chest.He held the grass core in his mouth. He was stepped on so hard that his chest sank and he spit out the grass core.
“Hey,” Xiao Chiye said, “You are so heavy, brother.”
He tilted his head sharply and stared at him with one eye.
Xiao Chiye could only free one arm and touched it randomly.he whistled at Lang Taoxue who was drinking water by the stream, signaling Lang Taoxue to come over and play with Meng.Lang Taoxuejin stepped on her front hooves, turned her buttocks and continued to drink water.
The cavalrymen were stationed here for several days. Lu Guangbai took off his helmet and walked over, patting the sand all over his body.
“Commander Xiao,” Lu Guangbai’s neck was wet with sweat, and he followed Xiao Chiye’s gaze to the west, “You are at ease.”
“That’s not true. I feel bitter in my heart,” Xiao Chiye said seriously, pointing to the west with a sharp finger, “My wife is over there, crying every day, looking forward to my return home.”
“Mark him,” Lu Guangbai threw the helmet to Chen Yang, “Go back and tell your family masters to see who is crying.”
Xiao Chiye waited for Lu Guangbai to sit down and asked, “What did Meng Tuobu say?”
“Still the same words,” Lu Guangbai propped up his knees, “Bayar is determined to betroth his daughter to you. If you don’t want his daughter, he will refuse to alliance with the Libei Iron Cavalry.”
“Bayar, this old camel,” Xiao Chiye sat up, the sand on his back slipped a little, and he looked at Lu Guangbai, “he wants to give his daughter to me, just because he is afraid that I will burn the bridge and try to trap me with a woman. If I am really a person who does not care about friendship, even if he gives his wife to me, I will still kill him.”
Lu Guangbai nodded at Xiao Chiye and said, “Just use this expression to see him. Of course he is afraid.”
Xiao Chiye raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “I’m not asking for him.”
“Be tough,” Lu Guangbai said, “The territory of the Mengluo tribe is blocked at the western entrance of Mosanchuan. We can’t win over Bayar. If we attack Amul again, we will be in danger of being surrounded.”
“Then tell him,” Xiao Chiye hugged his shoulders, “I have a fierce tiger in my family, and my wife is strict.”
“He has even prepared his daughter’s dowry, and is just waiting to come in and honor this ‘elder lady’.” Lu Guangbai was so sad that he couldn’t help but laugh, “Everyone loves Xiao Ce’an.”
Bayar’s previous favorite son-in-law was Hasen, but Hasen insisted on marrying Duo’erlan from the Hulu tribe, so he had a rift with the Mengluo tribe.After Hasen died in the battle and Xiao Chiye came to talk about the alliance, Bayar stood on the sand dune. Seeing that Xiao Chiye was tall, distinguished in temperament, and the Libei wolf who had killed Hasen, Bayar had the idea of marrying his daughter.
“The Hulu tribe retreated to Chiti Lake, why did they come back again?”
“You killed Hasen,” Lu Guangbai said. “His wife rode her horse to the east and brought back the Xiong warriors who were scattered by you. Please ask the tribesmen who returned to Chiti Lake to help Amul again. Duo’erlan swore in front of the rainbow eagle flag in the desert that she would kill you.”
Xiao Chiye thought of the Chiti flowers that floated away with the water before Hasen died.
“Also,” Lu Guangbai suppressed his smile, “Duo’erlan was pregnant before going east, and that was Hasen’s posthumous pregnancy.”
Xiao Chiye tied his arms in silence, the afterglow of the setting sun disappeared, and there was a brief silence in the sky. There was neither sun nor moon, and the heavy blue covered the sky.The chirping of eagles penetrated the flag, and her long hair fluttering in the wind was scattered under the blue sky. Duoerlan held her belly.
Bayin covered Duo’erlan with thick clothes and advised: “The night is very cold, go back.”
“My husband is in the west,” Duoerlan said softly, raising her head and watching the goshawks flying by in the wind, “When will my eagle come back?”
Bayin couldn’t bear to see her like this and wanted to wipe away her tears.
“The wolf from Libei killed my brother and then my husband.” Duo’erlan’s green eyes were full of hatred. “Bayin, he came to kill my child.” She covered her belly, took two steps back and said, “I want to protect my child.”
“Esu Heri will not let Xiao Chiye hurt you,” Bayin lowered his voice, “Nor will your father. Damo will work together to protect you, because this is Hasen’s child.”
“You are wrong, Bayan. Look at the desert with your wise man’s eyes. There are already three cavalry following him.” Duo’erlan almost retracted into her large robe, her thin chin hidden in it, and tears gathered in her melancholy eyes. “In order to seek peace, Bayar even gave his own daughter to our enemies. No one can protect me except Hasen.”
Bayin’s dark face showed sadness, “I did not fulfill Ha Sen’s instructions and was deceived by Youxiong. I am Ha Sen’s wise man, but I did not let he get the glory he deserved. Xiao Chiye came to the desert, Duo’erlan, we will take revenge.”
Bayin took off the dagger from his waist, held it in his palm, and handed it to Duo’erlan.
“I swear.”

My wolf cub is like a letter when he sees it.
The bed in Cizhou has been idle recently. I stayed in camp with the army and didn’t sleep well.
Xiao Chiye looked at those words by the campfire, and the sourness in his chest melted away, turning into another kind of bittersweet feeling of missing him.Lan Zhou closed the door and slept on Xiao Ce’an’s chest. Without he, Lan Zhou couldn’t sleep well in the best bed.Xiao Chiye picked up the horse with his other hand, took a sip, and poured the emotion into his chest to prevent himself from showing too much.he drank and watched.
The master left his sword with me, and my old minister Shao Chengbi was killed in battle.Everything is under control in Qudu, so don’t worry.The expedition is difficult, so you must take care.Erlang, if we can win in one battle, we will never be separated from each other year after year.When I return home in winter, the spring tent is warm and I want you to fall asleep.
Xiao Chiye put down the wine bag and saw underneath, Shen Zechuan used a pen to draw a fox with drooping ears and tail, and couldn’t help but laugh.
Lu Guangbai hit Xiao Chiye with a taro, and Xiao Chiye caught it with his hands.
“It’s almost November,” Lu Guangbai peeled a taro and ate it. “What can you do about the Mengluo tribe?”
The Mongolian Luo tribe has a special position. The leader Bayar has a large number of camels. If he follows Amul, Amul’s food dilemma at this time can be alleviated.Whether it is a horse from Libei or a horse from Qidong, they are actually not suitable for long distances in the desert.If Bayar can bring the Mongolian and Luo tribe to join the Libei Iron Cavalry, it will not only be beneficial to the transportation of military supplies during the war, but also be of great benefit to future mutual markets.
“Since he is afraid that I will turn against him,” Xiao Chiye opened the bag that came with the letter, which contained coded beef jerky, and threw the bag with the word “Lu” written on it to Lu Guangbai, “then I will turn against him.”
Lu Guangbai was polite, so Xiao Chiye no longer had to be polite.He has 90,000 cavalry, 10,000 imperial troops, and 20,000 border garrison troops. They are not here to negotiate peace.The sweetness of Hui Yanbu has been given, and if he takes Qiao again, he will have to use a big stick.
“Tell Bayar,” Xiao Chiye put the beef jerky into his mouth and said, “I’m rushing home to celebrate the New Year. If he wants to die with Amul, I will give him a ride tonight.”
Chenyang nodded and ordered, retreated and called for someone to pass on the message.

Once the capital army retreated, there was no one stationed in Dan City.When the Dunzhou garrison entered the city, the whole city was silent. There were countless rumors about Shen Zechuan, Lord of the Zhongbo Mansion, some terrible and some respectable. The people gathered in the city, and many people ran to Qidu that night.
Tantai Hu was well aware of the necessity of appeasing people’s hearts. He did not dare to be careless this time and strictly ordered the garrison to behave themselves.He suffered a loss from Liu Kong, so this time he specially led his own brother’s imperial army to stay in Dan City without disturbing the people at night and without disturbing the people during the day.
Yao Wenyu has been working at his desk for the past few months. Today he followed Shen Zechuan for a walk near Dancheng. Looking at the mottled marks on the city wall, he said: “Dancheng is in danger but not in danger. Luo Mu has already led the garrison to Hezhou. The next battle will be difficult to fight. I heard the news this morning. Qi Shiyu sent home letters three times, urging the commander who is still in Tianfei Palace to go home.”
“Qi Shiyu is paralyzed on the bed and cannot lead the troops.” Shen Zechuan basked in the sun. Today was a rare sunny day. “None of the men in the family are as good as Qi Zhuyin. Even if he really wants to remove Qi Zhuyin’s position as commander-in-chief, he cannot remove Qi Zhuyin’s military power as commander-in-chief.”
Qidong’s key point lies in Qi Zhuyin, so he must be able to attack Qi Shiyu’s heart.
“Qi Shiyu is undecided in a poor family. As long as the emperor is willing to give him a promise,” Yao Wenyu said as he turned the four-wheeled car, “The ability to follow the dragon far exceeds the ability to protect him.”
The article must be written. Shao Chengbi sent troops and was defeated, and the army was already in chaos.Now it’s okay, Li Jianting is not upright, and neither is Shen Zechuan.
“Qi Shiyu is experienced and knows the pros and cons best. When I tell him about the power of the dragon, he may not dare to respond.” Shen Zechuan’s straight waist showed no signs of injury, “Xue Xiuzhuo wants Luo Mu, I will give it to him.”
Shen Zechuan was willing to give up Luo Mu if he wanted it.
It was Shen Zechuan who planted the food in Chazhou, Shen Zechuan eliminated Caiyu, and Shen Zechuan assisted in the subsequent revival of various industries. Luo Mu ran so fast precisely because he could not pry.He used to follow Cai Yu, but now all he can take away are rogues.
“But I want Jiang Qingshan,” Shen Zechuan looked back, “I don’t know if Xue Xiuzhuo is willing to part with him.”

Qudu is becoming more and more desolate. As November approaches, the streets and markets are much deserted.The news of the rebels’ attack on Dan City has spread throughout the city. If there were no capital troops stationed in the city, there would have been chaos.Even so, people’s hearts are still floating.
Kong Qiu changed into a thicker robe, and before entering the palace, he said to Cen Yu: “It will snow early this year.”
Cen Yu looked up at the sky and couldn’t tell for a moment whether Kong Qiu was talking about this day or the Great Zhou Dynasty.he sighed, raised his arms and persuaded: “Let’s go.”
“I wrote to Qi Shiyu and asked his son to reply.” Kong Qiu went up the steps, “He said he was too sick to even get out of bed.”
“It’s really the right time for this disease to get worse.” Cen Yu mocked, holding up his robe.
Kong Qiu slowed down and said, “Qi Shiyu is cunning and cunning. He is more prudent and wise in protecting himself. Qi Zhuyin will not send troops, which he knows very well at home. He had to wait until we wrote to him before he pretended to scold us.” He sighed, “This is a roundabout way to raise the price with us.”
“You see, the emperor really granted him the title as he wished,” Cen Yu said, “he doesn’t dare to ask for it anymore!”
“I still have to send someone who can speak well,” Kong Qiu crossed the threshold, “I originally looked at Chongshenxing, but he is not qualified enough and I can’t stand him in front of Qi Shiyu. After choosing, Wan Xiao is still suitable.”
When Cen Yu heard Jiang Qingshan’s name, he remembered it and said, “The letter from Wan Xiaocai said that his wife is pregnant and will not travel far at this time.”
“There is no one in the court, so he is not going,” Kong Qiu raised his finger and pointed at the palace wall, “Shen Zechuan is here. I heard that Wan Xiao and his mother are very affectionate. If it doesn’t work, talk to the old lady. If not, let Wan Xiao take his wife with him.”
Jiang Qingshan’s wife Liu Niang was just pregnant, and she was favored by a charlatan. The family cherished it, but the court had orders and he had to obey.Originally, the journey was long, and he was unwilling to take Liu Niang through twists and turns, but leaving Liu Niang at home, he didn’t know what kind of grievance his mother would give Liu Niang.In the end, after much deliberation, I decided to take the person with me.
As soon as Jiang Qingshan moved here, he also moved over there.
Ding Tao takes Jin to Qidong to meet Qi Zhuyin who is rushing back to be scolded.
“The Master said that he heard that the Marshal and the First Lady have been ill recently,” Ding Tao saluted Qi Zhuyin. “The Master had nothing to give, so he asked me to bring his doctor to the Marshal and the First Lady to see.”
Qi Zhuyin looks calm and natural, has no stage fright, has a special charm, and is really a bit fairy-like.She said: “Shen Zechuan really has no one left, even you are out on errands.”
“The commander-in-chief doesn’t know, but I was the second master’s bodyguard a few years ago,” Ding Tao led Jin to Qi Zhuyin and said, “This is Master Yideng’s close disciple.”
Qi Zhuyin was moved by the word “Yideng”. Seeing that he was not old, he said: “…The old man has a rest today. I will say hello to the backyard in a while, and someone will naturally come to pick him up.”
Ding Tao and Sincerity saluted together.

“The eldest lady is extremely intelligent, familiar with account books, and can do mental arithmetic.” Yao Wenyu covered her lips and coughed twice, “It would be best for her to talk to Jiang Qingshan.”
Shen Zechuan was reading Ge Qingqing’s letter. Hearing this, Fei Sheng asked, “How many days has Luo Mengzheng been gone?”
Fei Sheng replied: “Almost half a month.”
“Even if he is riding a turtle, it’s time to reach the capital.” Shen Zechuan closed the letter, “If the mob wants to guard the city gate, then let him guard it. No one can say whether he is a brave man or a reckless man under the heavy money. Divine power should take a rest in the past few days. If you are pushed too hard, you will jump over the wall.”
Shen Zechuan is not afraid of the 30,000 to 40,000 miscellaneous soldiers in Qudu. No matter what happens, Xiao Jiming is behind him. The 30,000 cavalry are enough to scare Qudu.Xue Xiuzhuo is powerful, but Xue Xiuzhuo has no soldiers. He wants to force Qidong to send troops, and Shen Zechuan has to hold down Qi Zhuyin’s sword.
“Tao Ming had a good meal and drink in Cizhou. Now that he has some fat, it’s time for him to move around.” Fujun knocked his folding fan lightly on the edge of the table, “He is the capital of a state after all, and he is as close to the people of Huaizhou as one family. The riot in Huaizhou is so severe that he is given thousands of Cizhou garrison troops to go back to calm the situation. If he does well, he will be rewarded in the future. If he does not do well, he will leave the whole family in Cizhou to take care of me.”
Xue Xiuzhuo wants to cut off Shen Zechuan’s Hezhou, and Shen Zechuan will take away He’s Huaizhou.Huaizhou is close to Luoxia Pass, and Luoxia Pass is close to Xue’s hometown Quancheng. This is an arc-shaped encirclement like the Huai Cha Ci Trade Road.
Be it Xue Xiuzhuo or the Empress, everyone has exposed their weaknesses in the competition.In the past, Shen Zechuan would have been worry-free, but after Shao Chengbi’s death, Fengquan was like a thorn stuck in the most inconspicuous place.
It has penetrated very deep.
