Chapter 9: The New Year (Two)

The group was struggling to move forward in the snow and ice, unable to see the road ahead clearly, and could only rely on memory and the compass they carried on to distinguish the correct direction.

The biting cold wind blew towards us, and the teams that were moving forward were not only tilted, but many people were also afraid to open their eyes.

A piss can instantly turn into an icicle, a terrifying cold.

Wu Sangui walked at the front of the team because he was the captain and the highest leader of the team. Yan Peiwei walked at the end of the team because this team was not allowed to leave anyone behind.

The whole team seemed very quiet, with only the sound of thick snow on the sound of feet, which sounded particularly neat and regular.

Almost no one can tell what the purpose of this team is, including Wu Sangui.

Suddenly, more than a dozen white mounds appeared in the white world in front of me. This kind of mound that was arranged neatly like stars arching the moon would definitely not be formed naturally. There was only one possibility. They encountered yurts. There should be more than a dozen yurts under the white mounds.

Wu Sangui made several gestures in an instant, and soon the team following him scattered, forming an encirclement formation for the white hills that might be yurts.

Hai Lanzhu, daughter of Borjijitzhaisang in Korqin, Mongolia, sister of Da Yuer, and niece of Huang Taiji's concubine Zhezhe. This year is exactly the same as the tenth year of his life. Because Da Yuer disappeared for no reason, with the help of his aunt Zhezhe, he persuaded his brother Zhezhe to betroth him to Huang Taiji as his concubine.

The two were already married this spring, but Huang Taiji personally fought in North Korea and was busy with military and political affairs, so he delayed the date of marrying Hai Lanzhu. It was not until the New Year that Huang Taiji remembered that he had a concubine who had not passed the family, so he immediately ordered someone to send a message to Zhaisang, asking to marry Hai Lanzhu.

It was not until six years later that Hai Lanzhu was betrothed to Huang Taiji, but now it is six years ahead of schedule.

The legendary Hai Lanzhu is virtuous and quiet, and is also very good at managing finances. She has a very good relationship with Huang Taiji and his wife. Huang Taiji named her the Concubine Chen of Guan Ju Palace, second only to the Empress of the Central Palace. Guan Ju Palace is taken from the famous quote "Guan Guan Juji" in the Book of Songs. Two years later, she gave birth to the eighth son of the emperor. Huang Taiji was very happy and issued the first general amnesty order of the Qing Dynasty. It’s a pity that this son died when he was two years old.

In 1641, Huang Taiji was commanding the battle on the Songjin front line, and news that Concubine Chen was sick. He ignored the nervous war and immediately set off to rush back. On the way, he heard the bad news that Concubine Chen was dead and was heartbroken. In front of the coffin of Concubine Chen in Guanju Palace, he cried for a long time. After burying Concubine Chen, he posthumously named Minhuigong and Concubine Yuan. Since losing Concubine Chen, he has been sad day and night, his diet has decreased, his health has deteriorated, and he has fallen into a coma, "without words". Later, the ministers of the kings invited him to hunt in Puhe to relieve his sorrows and depressed. Unexpectedly, he passed by Concubine Chen's tomb and was sad, which made him cry again. Unfortunately, his beauty was poor and Concubine Chen lived to 33 years old.

If Hai Lanzhu had not passed away too early, Huang Taiji might not have died so early, and Da Yu'er would not have shown her strength so early, and it is even more likely that she could not become the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang who assisted the three generations of emperors. After all, he is the current Da Yu'er, and in Huang Taiji's eyes, he is still a young girl.

At this time, Hai Lanzhu, dressed in a dress, was sitting upright in the largest yurt in the middle, wearing the most gorgeous and precious jewelry. The opposite was his elder brother Wu Keshan. The brother and sister looked at each other without saying a word.

"Brother, how long will it take to fall in this snow?" After a long time, Hai Lanzhu's beautiful eyelashes shook gently.

"I don't know, maybe we can leave tomorrow." Wu Keshan looked helpless. Obviously, he had no choice but to do with this sudden heavy snow.

"I really hope the snow will continue to fall!" Hai Lanzhu looked straight and said to herself.

"Why, sister, don't you want to marry?" Wu Keshan said in surprise. To know Huang Taiji's current status, I don't know how many women want to climb onto his sweat bed and become his woman.

Hai Lanzhu sighed quietly and lowered her head and said, "What if I don't want to marry? Do I have any choice?"

Although Wu Keshan is not a good man and a trustworthy woman, he still loves his sisters very much. One of them has already married Huang Taiji. However, he disappeared when he went home to visit his relatives three years ago. The rumors were hijacked by Lin Danhan from Simon, but it has not been confirmed until now, and there is no news. His father was still sad for several days. He was even more worried about this sister who had been quiet since childhood but had a great opinion in his heart. His aunt Zhezhe has always been out of nothing and has always been worried about his position in Huang Taiji's harem. Therefore, he constantly wanted his family to join the Huang Taiji harem camp, form an alliance, and consolidate his position. Similarly, the status of his mother's family has also risen. Isn't this hanging people on a tree?

"If this snow will stop tomorrow, how many days will we have to arrive in Shengjing?" Hai Lanzhu asked softly.

"Four or five days, maybe." Wu Keshan himself couldn't say it was not sure if it was blocked by heavy snow.

"I'm sorry, Shengjing, you can't go!" A calm voice suddenly came from outside the tent, also in Mongolian.

Hai Lanzhu was so scared that she was disgraced. After a long war, Wu Keshan quickly pulled out his waist knife and said in a cautious direction to the sound: "Who?"

"The one who kills you!"

"Since I want my life, why don't you dare to come in?" Wu Keshan's eyes showed a fierce light and he shouted outside the tent.

"I need some time to clean up the bunch of trash under your hands!"

"Ah..." Wu Keshan's souls burst out, holding his waist knife in his hand, roared, lifted the curtain, and rushed out.

What he saw was the blood red all over the ground, and more than a hundred Mongolian warriors he brought were lying in front of him, and the blood had already condensed into ice.

More than a hundred snow-white people surrounded their largest yurt in the middle without a gap.

"Who are you? Do you know who we are?" Wu Keshan said with a stern look on his face. He knew very well that the faint murderous aura was constantly emitting from these white men, and it was the kind that was hidden and unreleased. If he was not the kind of person who rolled down from the battlefield, it would be difficult to find it. And he soon discovered that the person who just spoke to him was very young, with a murderous aura restrained, and his eyes were even more unfathomable. When he looked, he felt a little cold rising from the bottom of his heart.

"I don't know." Wu Sangui only knew that the woman he was going to kidnap was in this tent, and as for the men, they were all cleaned up.

"You are not our Mongolian!" Wu Keshan looked at Wu Sangui in horror.

"You are not too stupid at all, but I can't keep you even more." Wu Sangui could see from Wu Keshan's clothes that the Mongolian man in front of him must be a big figure. Should he catch or kill him?

"If you want to kill, we will know the consequences?" Wu Keshan had the last refusal, that is, his sister was already Huang Taiji's concubine. If the other party killed his brother and sister, how could Huang Taiji let these people go?

At this time, Hai Lanzhu lifted the curtain and walked out of the yurt. Seeing the red outside the tent, her delicate face turned pale in an instant, and she walked behind Wu Keshan tremblingly, and asked in fear: "Brother, who are they? Why did they kill so many of us?"

Wu Sangui was surprised by Hai Lanzhu's amazing maturity, but he did not dare to have any inappropriate thoughts. Now he has basically confirmed that the beautiful Mongolian girl in front of him is the target of this mission, and that was the person the emperor wanted. If he gave him the courage, he would not dare to have any other thoughts.

"Who are you here to kill us?" Hai Lanzhu nervously stepped forward from behind her brother Wu Keshan and stood on the side, asking Wu Sangui with a cold face.

"no."

"Then why did you kill so many of us?" After all, Hai Lanzhu is not a weak woman like Central Plains, and she still has courage.

"Not really, will you follow me?"

"Go, where to go?"

"You will know then." Wu Sangui glanced at Wu Keshan, who was still holding a scimitar, and said contemptuously: "It's better to advise your brother not to resist, otherwise it will be hard to say if my man accidentally hurts him."

Wu Keshan is always more experienced than Hai Lanzhu. He knows that these people do not want the lives of their brothers and sisters, but want to kidnap them? However, with his head, he could not guess the identity of Wu Sangui and others, nor could he guess the purpose of Wu Sangui and others kidnap their brothers and sisters.
