When Lin Quan returned to the mansion, Yuan Lihua was waiting for him, and when he came back, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said to Lin Quan, "Husband, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, let's get some rest early."

Lin Quan didn't say much, let Yuan Lihua go down to rest, and didn't say anything about what happened tonight.

There is nothing to do next, the army from all over the country continues to gather in Anyang City, Li Haiyu arrives first for a day, and then Zhou Jianshen.

When Zhou Jian arrived, it was already the fifth day of the fourth month, and on the sixth day of the first month, the two people mentioned by the sage also arrived, and the two official positions were Huya and General Huwei.

After the four of them arrived, the six princes summoned them in the military camp and asked them what to do.

Zhou Jianshen was the first to speak and said, "The situation in Rouge Mountain, the lower officials have also heard about it, and they don't dare to talk nonsense." ”

Li Haiyu came out of Youyan Mansion, so he naturally spoke first and said, "The forest in the Rouge Mountain is deep in snow, even if there is still snow in the depths of the forest in the middle of the June sky, if you don't know the exact hiding place of Wei Wei, Xiao Chen thinks that he shouldn't attack rashly." ”

The sixth prince nodded and asked Ding Xiangui and Yuan Zhaoao what their opinions were.

Ding Xiangui said to the six princes, "Dashuai, now the ministers think that Wei Wei will not hide for too long, and if they want to hide, they will not make trouble." Therefore, the minister thought that it was better to wait here than to go into the mountains to exterminate them. ”

"Xiao Chen thinks that General Huya is right." Yuan Zhaoao echoed and said, the six princes told Yuan Zhaoao about his embarrassment, now the sage did not give them too much time, this army gathered, the daily consumption of grain and grass, are alarming, if this is delayed for a longer time, then the court will be more difficult.

Li Haiyu thought for a while and said to the six princes, "In this case, the junior minister thinks that he should unite with the needle girl clan like the Yunge Mansion and let them assist us in finding Wei Wei's whereabouts." As long as you can find Wei Wei's location, if you want to deal with Wei Wei, it's simple. ”

At this time, Zhou Jianshen also suggested, "In addition, the coast must be occupied, so that they do not escape from the sea again." ”

The sixth prince looked at Lin Quan, who had been silent at this time, and Lin Quan could only speak, "Your Highness, the minister thinks that the suggestions of the two governors are reasonable, but who should go to this contact needle female clan?" ”

"The minister is willing to ask for help." Zhou Jianshen took the initiative to speak, and the six princes naturally did not stop him, nodded, and said to Zhou Jianshen; "Okay, then there's Governor Laozhou."

Ding Xiangui opened his mouth at this time and said, "Governor Zhou, this general thinks, is it better to let Governor Li go here?" ”

"Governor Li has always been bad at words, and I have been friends with him for many years, and I have experienced this."

Lin Quan thought of what Li Haiyu did in Longyou Mansion, and couldn't help but scoff at this statement, although this Li Haiyu is not a master of words, but it is definitely not related to the four words of bad words.

The sixth prince thought carefully for a while, and said to Lin Quan, "Then there will be Lau Lin Changshi and Governor Zhou going forward." ”

Lin Quan said yes, and then asked Zhou Jianshen when he was going to leave, and Zhou Jianshen said that the sooner this matter was, the better.

Lin Quan nodded, they left the next day, this time, Lin Quan brought Yuan Lihua, and Zhou Jian brought two guards, and a translator who was proficient in the language of the needle woman.

At noon, they came to a bazaar, which was called Bahar, and according to the needle tribe it was a godsend. This was the first market set up in the Wei Dynasty, and it was also the first time that the needle women had trade, and before the market was established, the needle women were bartering.

Lin Quan and the others went to the bazaar to replenish their resources, and then continued north, and when it was time to apply for a card, they entered the Rouge Mountain.

In this vast forest, the interpreter acted as a guide and took them through the forest.

In the evening, the interpreter took them to a small wooden house to rest, and entered the small wooden house, where everything was still available, pots and pans and stoves, there was no shortage of the same, and there were a lot of them.

There was even firewood in the room, and Lin Quan asked this translator curiously, is this small cabin his?

The interpreter smiled and told him that at night, this forest sea is a beast that eats people and does not spit out bones, and in order to resist this beast, the needle girl clan has built many such huts in the forest sea, and when the time comes, if you get lost or injured, you will have a place to save your life. Everything in this wooden house can be used, but after using it, you must try to prepare it as much as possible, so that you can better help the little one.

Speaking of this, the translator told Lin Quan that if it weren't for this small cabin, then the people of the Needle Girl Clan would have died long ago. As he spoke, the interpreter took out a bundle of hides from behind the firewood, untied them, handed them one to each of them, and said, "It's cold at night, so it's better for everyone to put on this." ”

Zhou Jianshen looked around and said to Lin Quan, "Lord Lin, I thought of a poem in the Du Gong Department, there are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy, this may be the Guangsha that the Du Gong Department is asking for." ”

Lin Quan said to Zhou Jianshen, "It's a pity, this small house can only be done in Rouge Mountain, if it were any other place, it would have been stolen a long time ago." ”

Zhou Jianshen nodded, and sighed that people's hearts are not ancient, and the world is declining.

After resting for the night, when they left the next day, they also wrapped the hides and put them back in their place. They also went to collect some firewood to replenish what they burned yesterday.

For the next three or four days, Lin Quan and the others lived in the cabin, and that night, hail fell in the sky, and they sat in the house, listening to the thumping sound of the hail hitting the house, and sighed at Tianwei.

Zhou Jianshen asked the translator that there were still a few days before he could meet the patriarch of the needle girl clan, and the translator told Zhou Jianshen that it would be tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

Zhou Jianshen breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lin Quan; "We still find it difficult to get here, if the army comes in and looks for it aimlessly, I am afraid that the loss will be great."

Lin Quan said yes, he didn't expect Rouge Mountain to be so difficult, Lin Quan thought about it, if he really entered this mountain, then the army would not be able to distinguish the direction and search everywhere, but he was afraid that many people would get lost in this forest sea.

"Lin Changshi, so we must succeed, otherwise, the imperial court will first exterminate the ghost mansion this year, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Lin Quan nodded, thinking in his heart, thinking about one thing.

Zhou Jianshen was not wrong in thinking about it, but Zhou Jianshen forgot what if the Ghost Mansion had already formed an alliance with the Needle Girl Clan.

When the time comes, they will be sent to death.

Lin Quan was not ready to remind Zhou Jianshen of this matter, Lin Quan could guarantee that he would not die, as for whether Zhou Jianshen died or not, it had nothing to do with him.

Lin Quan is not worried that the saint is to blame, as long as he can exterminate Wei Wei, he has no sin, if he can't exterminate it, then even if Zhou Jian doesn't die, he will be unlucky.

The next day, they arrived at the royal city where the needle girl clan was located, the so-called royal city was not actually a city, this royal city was next to a lake, and the houses of the needle girl clan were built next to the lake.

These houses are basically wooden houses, and they are all of the same style, the difference is that above the door, there are trophies hanging from them.

The interpreter led them to the patriarch's room, which was barely a touch of grandeur, with a wooden wall one foot high, and in the center there was a house about an acre in size, which was suspended underneath and supported by stakes five or six feet high.

The interpreter spoke to the guards at the gate, and the guards went in to say goodbye, and a quarter of an hour later the guards let them in.

After going up the stairs, Lin Quan and the others took off their shoes according to their custom, and at this time, the guards handed them straw sandals made of ula grass, and after they put them on, they felt a lot warmer.

Entering the house, this room was as warm as spring, and Lin Quan and Zhou Jianshen also saw this patriarch.

The patriarch wore a strange mask on her head, which covered her upper face, and above the mask, was a snake carved out of gold.

In addition, the patriarch also carries a half circle behind him to form a ring with various colored feathers, just like a peacock opening the screen.

The patriarch spoke a bunch of dialects to them, and they didn't understand them, so they could only look at the translation.

The translator quickly finished translating and told Zhou Jianshen that they said that the patriarch welcomed their arrival.

Zhou Jianshen nodded, and asked the translator to help say some polite words, so the translator chatted with the patriarch.

After talking about this for almost a quarter of an hour, the translator said to Zhou Jianshen, "Lord Zhou, the patriarch, she asked you about the purpose of your visit this time. ”

"Tell her that we are here to meet the alliance this time, and together we will eradicate the bandits who entered Rouge Mountain."

After the translation was translated, the queen said a lot more, and the translator waited a long time before she said to Zhou Jianshen, "Lord Zhou, the patriarch said that there are no bandits here, only a group of poor people." ”

"This is not a poor person, but a bandit who is against the imperial court, who fled here to occupy this place and seek her people."

"The patriarch said that she could protect her people and land without the help of the imperial court."

"Ask her how she can help the court."

When Lin Quan heard this, he almost couldn't help but want to laugh, this week's sword body words are not very clever, just a few words, just say such a thing.

"The patriarch said that she wants your silk, and that your silk is easier to pierce than the skin and linen, and that the gods are more pleased when they are offered to the gods."

"Then the court is willing to give her silk and let her sacrifice to the gods, I don't know how much she wants."

After the translation was completed, the patriarch made a gesture and said a word.

"A thousand?"

"Ten thousand."

When Zhou Jianshen heard this, he thought for a while, and said to the translator, "Tell her that the imperial court can give her 10,000, but her people will also go with us to conquer the bandits." ”

After the translator finished speaking, the patriarch chattered for a while, and the translator said to Zhou Jianshen, "She agreed, I want you to go to the altar tomorrow and swear in front of the gods." ”

Zhou Jianshen breathed a sigh of relief and asked the interpreter to tell the patriarch that he agreed.
