Chapter 2 Chapter 107 Time-Limited Death

The funeral and memorial rites of the ancient Mongolians were relatively simple.Most of the funerals are wind burial, air burial, tree burial, etc. The dead are placed on top of trees, or dismembered and fed to birds and animals.In addition, there is another characteristic of their burial customs, that is, secret burials.Load the dead or dismembered corpses on a car, drive it to an inaccessible place, and let the car run wildly. Wherever the corpse or fragments fall, they will stay there, not buried, and let the birds and beasts eat. The sacrificial ceremony is also very simple. Like Ulan Tuya, two gods were made hastily, which is still a reference to the Han people's ceremony.After silently praying for a long time, Ulantuya wiped away her tears, hid the two spirit tablets, looked at her appearance in front of the mirror, and then applied a little makeup and powder to make sure there was nothing unusual, then opened the door and slipped out quietly.

After Xia Xun, it was Zheng He who announced the establishment of a mansion in Liaodong and the opening of a government office, and the edict of the Liaodong capital to separate from the Shandong capital and to be promoted to the provincial level.After him, it was Xia Xun who announced that he would accept the emperor's order and carry out the edict of military settlement reform and military household reform in Liaodong.What Xia Xun said was relatively simple. Coupled with the previous major events, everyone's excitement has been fully mobilized, and it did not cause much repercussions for a while. After that, there will be a grand celebration ceremony.Alcohol may not necessarily make people happy, but it must make people happy.On such a good day today, all the officials present had the good news of being promoted and rewarded, so they naturally wanted to drink to their heart's content. Even Tang Jie, even though he was a sad person, was trying to drown his sorrows with alcohol and got very drunk.

The promulgation and celebration ceremony started early in the morning, but it was only at the beginning of the lights that it ended. When Xia Xun returned to the back house, supported by two guards, his feet were already so deep that one foot was too shallow to measure the road.As soon as they entered the back house, Sanapova and Rilata hurried forward and took Xia Xun from the guards.The two women were tall, not under Xia Xun, and despite their slender waists, they were quite strong, one on the left and the other on the right, they supported Xia Xun and walked into the house. Xia Xun said with a big tongue: "Help me to the study, there is still something to do!"

Wulan Tuya, who followed closely behind, rolled her eyes and walked away quietly. Xia Xun went into the study and sent Sanapova and Rilata to rest by themselves. As soon as they sat down, Ulantuya came in with a steaming bowl of hangover soup.Xia Xun looked at her with straight eyes: Such a beautiful girl has such a vicious heart, how much hatred does she have, is she in such a hurry to poison me to death? Xia Xun's straight eyes fell on Wulan Tuya's eyes, and she naturally had another interpretation. She sneered secretly in her heart: If you hit me up last night, you might have to take advantage of this girl first!Today, this bowl of soup will kill you!

Congratulations sir!Congratulations, master!The emperor rewarded the generals in Liaodong and issued an order to open a mansion and build a government office in Liaodong. This is all thanks to you. Since then, the prestige of the master in Liaodong has become even more prosperous, and no one will dare to fight against you again. Xia Xun squinted at her and said with a smile: You girl, you can talk, but it doesn't matter what people in Liaodong think of me, sir, I will go back to Jinling soon. Wulan Tuya was taken aback immediately, and said in a voiceless voice: Master is leaving Liaodong?

Xia Xun smiled, and reached out to pull her: If you want, the master will naturally take you along. Wulan Tuya swayed her waist, and passed Xia Xun's salty pig's hands, and said softly: "Of course she is willing to follow the master. If she doesn't follow the master, where else can she go?"The master drank this bowl of hangover soup first, lest the alcohol dissipate and hurt his body. Xia Xun said with a smile: "Okay, okay!" The soup bowl was brought to him, Xia Xun picked it up, and handed the soup bowl to his lips. Ulantuya's pupils shrank suddenly, she stared at him closely, and her fingers at both ends of the tray involuntarily moved strength.

Xia Xun saw her reaction. Knowing that this bowl of hangover soup must have been added, when she handed the bowl to her mouth, she suddenly frowned and put the bowl down again.Wulan Tuya's heart was hanging high, and seeing this situation, she couldn't help but take a step closer and asked, "Master, what's the matter?" Xia Xun said: "It's too hot, let's let it dry." Ulantuya couldn't help but let out a sigh. Xia Xun glanced at her, and said with a half-smile: "Since you have agreed to go back to Jinling with the master, you can stay here tonight and serve the master."

Wulan Tuya lowered her head, her fingers rolled up her belt, and she hummed softly. Xia Xun frowned and said, "Why, you don't want to?" Wulantuya quickly raised her head and said: Yes!willing!family Meeting Xia Xun's eyes, she lowered her head shyly, and said softly: "Is he just a little shy? Master is good or bad, so I have to force him to say it." That shy look, coupled with that delicate voice, really makes people's hearts sway. Xia Xun secretly sighed, and thought: This girl, I haven't seen you for ten days, your acting skills have improved a lot.

At this time, Zuo Dan, who had been waiting outside to watch the scenery, stood outside the hall, and said loudly: "Lord of the Ministry, I have something to report in my humble position." Hey, one day is not free! Xia Xun pretended to sigh helplessly, and said to Wulan Tuya: "Xiao Ying, you should avoid it for a while, and wait for this ignorant guest to go out, and then come to serve the master." yes!Wulan Tuya subconsciously glanced at the bowl of hangover soup, then quickly withdrew her gaze, stepped back to the outer room, and said to Zuo Dan who was waiting at the door: The hall invites you to come in!

Zuo Dan hurriedly dressed and reported in. When he arrived in the study, he didn't know what he had said to Xia Xun, and he came out after a while. When he walked into the hall, he nodded and smiled at her. Waiting for Zuo Dan to go out, Ulan Tuya quickly walked back, and only slowed down when she was about to go around the screen. Turning around the screen, Wulantuya saw Xia Xun holding the soup bowl and pouring the last drop of soup into her mouth, and she felt ecstatic in her heart. Hehe, this soup has some spicy taste! Wulan Tuya hurriedly said: "I haven't tasted it before. The chef under the kitchen made it, and it must have added medicinal materials to soothe the mind and sober up."

Xia Xun groaned, put down the clean soup bowl, and took another sip of water to rinse her mouth. Wulantuya hurriedly picked up a spittoon from the corner and waited for Xia Xun to vomit.Xia Xun leaned back on the armchair and said, "It's still early, master sober up first, come, talk to master." Putting it in the spittoon, Wulan Tuya returned to Xia Xun's side, gently rubbed his shoulders, and said, "Liaodong has just seen improvement. After two years, with high morale and support from the people, the master can lead the army into the desert." What kind of feat is that?I heard that Han generals most admire generals like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.Besides, the master still wants to change the system of military settlements and military households, so why is he leaving? Xia Xun smiled lightly: "I've almost done what I want to do."Back then, Lang Juxu was sealed off, but who owns Lang Juxu now?A long, long time ago, it returned to the hands of the prairie people, and the price was that all the national power accumulated by the Wen and Jing dynasties was exhausted, the country was full of grief, and Han Wu had to issue his own edict.I think it may be more important to manage your own well.The ancients said: A good fighter has no great achievements, a loyal one has no boastful words, and a good doctor has no brilliant reputation. Perhaps this is what people like me think. Ulantuya blinked, indicating that she did not understand. Xia Xun explained: In the past, there were three generals who were ordered to protect a group of people to another place, and a group of powerful bandits were on the way.The first general went on the road with a fluke mentality, but he encountered robbers on the road and his entire army was wiped out.The second general was even equipped with weapons for the people he was escorting. After encountering the robbers, he fought bravely and arrived at the place he was going to at the cost of nearly half of the casualties. But the third general first sent people to conduct a detailed inspection along the way, and found a little-known trail. Arrived where he was going, unharmed.As a result, the severely wounded general was regarded as a hero, and many eloquent stories were written to praise his bravery.The general who didn't fight and didn't die is unknown Wulantuya seemed to be touched after hearing this.Xia Xun suddenly said: "Come on, beat the master's legs again. After sitting for a day, I feel a little numb all over my body." Wulantuya sneered in her heart. Of course she knew why Xia Xun felt numb. That was the reason why the medicine started to take effect.In the hangover soup, she put the most poisonous aconite in the aconitum, and it only needs a small amount of fingernails to kill.Although the hot soup has a certain effect on detoxifying toxins, she put more than ten times the amount of medicine, and even cut off the front line of detoxification and first aid. On Wulantuya's face, she didn't show any abnormality. Her originally nervous heart almost jumped out of her voice. When all the dust settled, she suddenly calmed down, so calm that even she herself All feeling a little scared.She walked up to Xia Xun very calmly, still looking obedient, but the shyness and timidity that she deliberately made to please disappeared quietly. She moved a Jindun, moved Xia Xun's legs up, and beat him gently. She wanted to wait for the poison to happen, and she wanted to watch Yang Xu die with her own eyes. At that time, she was willing to close her eyes, and everything was finally over. There is an ending. The ending she wanted most! Xia Xun continued the topic just now and said: Bian Que, a genius doctor, has been famous for thousands of years.But one time King Wen of Wei asked him, I heard that all three of your brothers have excellent medical skills. Which of the three of you has the best medical skills?Bian Que replied: "My elder brother has the best medical skills, followed by my second brother. Among the three brothers, Bian Que's medical skills are the worst." Ulan Tuya was attracted, and couldn't help asking: "I've even heard of Bian Que's name as a miracle doctor. I didn't even know that he had two older brothers. If his older brother's medical skills are better than Bian Que's, why?" Not famous at all? Xia Xun said with a smile: "King Wei Wen also asked the same question, and Bian Que replied: My eldest brother can always prevent problems before they happen. As soon as a person has a symptom, he eliminates the disease and prevents the disease from happening. The patients think he is a doctor." He can only cure minor ailments such as headache and brain fever, so he is not well-known; my second brother has a way to cure patients' minor ailments before they are about to develop into serious ones.So the patients don't feel that they are suffering from such a serious disease; as for me, I often have to cure the patients until they are dying, so everyone thinks that my medical skills are like a god, and that such intractable diseases can be cured! Xia Xun said: "This means that a good fighter has no great achievements, and a good doctor has no brilliant reputation."There was an earthquake, and the professors of one government school desperately rescued the students from the rubble, while the professors of another government school had already paid attention to the safety of the buildings and were not injured.The gentlemen who risked their lives to save lives became famous, but the school without the dead was not as famous as them. A family caught fire, and others helped to salvage some property. The owner was very grateful to the neighbors who came to put out the fire, but he didn't remember the person who kindly persuaded him to remove the firewood and pay attention to fire prevention before the fire broke out. Qu Tu There is no favor in the transfer of salary, and the desperation is the guest. At a heavy price, a little achievement has been achieved, but the glory has been obtained. Do people care more about the vigor on the surface? Wulantuya remained silent, Xia Xun said in a low voice: "Sun Tzu said: the one who wins without fighting is the one who wins."And among those famous generals, which one is not a general who has achieved great success?In my opinion, the real winners are precisely these unknown people.Get the most out of it at the least cost I say this, do you understand? Ulan Tuya stared at him fixedly, and after a long time, she said: "That's why, after your two victories, you didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue it; that's why you let the easy go, and you didn't hesitate to arouse the emperor's jealousy and offend some of your colleagues, and tried your best." Promote the reform of Liaodong, right? Although, if you win one more battle, you will gain more glory, and more people will follow you to receive titles and rewards, and they will admire you more and support you, and future generations will also write about your achievements , boasting over and over again, until you are praised like a god of war. But you, you have to choose this, which is full of praise and criticism, and there are many risks. If you fail, you will be ruined, but what about success?It is also difficult to have any vigorous deeds that can be extolled by future generations. After a hundred years, the people who sit under the big tree to enjoy the shade will not even remember the person who planted the tree back then, will they? These words are no longer like what a Mongolian girl who only lived in the Han area could say, but Xia Xun didn't seem to notice the difference, she just nodded and smiled: Yes, you understand now, right? Wulantuya suddenly smiled, and said slowly: Got it!There is only one thing I have now and I don't understand yet! Xia Xun asked: What's the matter? Wulantuya said: Why are you still alive? Xia Xun's expression changed, and he blurted out, "What do you mean?" Wulan Tuya stood up slowly, looked down at Xia Xun, her face became as cold as ice, and said coldly: When you were talking just now, I noticed that you closed your eyes twice, did you feel a little dizzy, sir? ?I also noticed that you keep stroking your chest, aren't you a little out of breath, sir! Xia Xun's face became even uglier. He seemed to want to move his legs off the pier, but his body only moved a little, and his legs didn't move. Wulantuya saw his movement, and the sneer on her lips showed With a hint of mockery: Master, your body is a little numb, not because you are tired from sitting all day, if you move now, you will find that you don't even have the strength to move. Xia Xun's expression was very strange, it seemed a little angry, a little scared, and there seemed to be some other things mixed in, but Wulantuya, who was proud of herself, didn't notice this subtle strangeness, Xia Xun said angrily: "You Poison me?Why on earth are you?I will take you in, and I will take you to the south of the Yangtze River, Sakura!You actually hurt me? Because I approached you for revenge! Wulantuya's chest was raised even higher, but hot tears flowed down her eyes: I, my name is not Sakura, and I am not from the Huaguna tribe.I am the daughter of Lord Halbala, the Deputy Councilor of the Tatar Privy Council, and I am Yang Xu, the fiancée wife of Abuzhia, the son of Alutai Grand Master!Before you die, remember, my name is Wulantuya!
