Chapter 264: The Black Stick
Horse hooves pedal.
Facing the cold wind and stepping on the thick snow, a huge horse team was heading towards Zhongjing Dading Prefecture.
This is the team that Liao Kingdom went to negotiate, and the person who was the second prince of Liao Kingdom Yelu Weizhen, and a red horse next to him was a young woman wrapped in a fur cloak.
This woman was very beautiful, with fair skin as white as jade, her big eyes as bright as stars and moon, and she also had a sense of shrewdness. Although the cloaked fox fur hat covered half of her face, she still couldn't hide her beautiful face.
This woman is Yelu Qingri, the seventh princess of the Liao Kingdom known as the pearl of the grassland.
Yelu Weizhen looked at Yelu Qingri, whose little face was cold and red, and said with concern: "It's such a cold day, and when it comes to Zhongjing, you may encounter danger, but you just want to follow me. I don't know how you told my father, but my father actually agreed to you come."
Yelu Qingri smiled sly and said, "I am a military advisor, I'm here to give you an idea. My father knows that I'm smarter than you."
Yelu Weizhen shook his head helplessly.
Yelu Qingri is Yelu Weizhen's legitimate sister. Empress Xiao gave birth to three sons, the eldest prince Yelu Nanzhen, the second prince Yelu Weizhen and the fifth prince Yelu Shuzhen, but she only gave birth to one daughter. This is the seventh princess Yelu Qingri, so she naturally regarded it as the pearl in her hand.
Yelu Qingri was also extremely smart. She liked martial arts since she was a child, so she was good at swordsmanship and could be among the top 30 martial arts in the Liao Kingdom. Yelu Qingri also liked to learn literature, and her literary talent was not even lower than that of the Jinshi Hanlin in the Liao Kingdom.
With both civil and military skills, and his agile mind and beautiful appearance, he was naturally favored by everyone and became the most famous princess in the Liao Kingdom so far. There were endless princes from various countries who came to propose marriage.
However, Yelu Chengji, the Liao Kingdom, was reluctant to let go, so she was eighteen years old this year and had not yet betrothed to her husband.
"Second brother, is Qin Guan really so powerful?" Yelu Qingri asked.
Yelu Weizhen condensed his mind and said, "Based on the information collected these days, Qin Guan can definitely be described as extremely smart, and there are even so many magical things in him."
"Can you imagine that Qin Guan two years ago was just a playboy circulating in the market. He knew that going to the casino to drink flower wine every day was completely ignorant."
"But suddenly, he seemed to have awakened. He took the imperial examination and was the top scholar in the Great Zhao State. His poems were famous all over the world. Even in my Great Liao State, scholars almost knew about them. Even his father loved them very much."
"And he is also a master of horse warfare. He once challenged Quli by guns, and rushed into a cavalry team of thousands without any injuries. He could pick several people away with one shot."
"What is even more amazing is that his ability to control wars is definitely above the level of a famous general. You can tell that his power is just by looking at him from the border of Zhao State to Dading Prefecture."
The seventh princess Yelu Qingri snorted: "Second brother, if he hadn't had the kind of gunpowder with extremely powerful explosions, how could he have hit Zhongjing?"
Yelu Weizhen nodded, "You are right. He really relied on gunpowder and the thick and long black sticks that shot a projectile to win. However, these weapons on the battlefield were made by him. Can you say that they were not his achievements?"
