Chapter 1108: Beautiful Prairie
Yang Lotian told Master about the insole, and Yang Huairen smiled when he heard it.
Sure enough, it was similar to what I guessed, Yang Huairen said in his heart, the information sent by Father Yang skillfully, one "poison" and one "trap", it should mean that Xiao Sabi planned to use the poisoning method to poison Yelu Hongji on the bowl festival, and then arrange this matter to others and frame others.
As for who this framed person is, Yang Huairen has not not thought about it, if Xiao Sabi needs a suitable person, then the best choice is naturally Yelu Yanxi.
It's just that this idea has become a bit abrupt after the rumor incident.
Yelu Hongji became more and more confident in Yelu Yanxi's ability, and the courtiers also saw Yelu Yanxi's growth.
Therefore, Xiao Sabi will find another person and let this person poison Yelu Hongji, which must not only be justified, but also have a suitable motive and the ability to really do all this.
There are a few people in the envoys of various countries who still meet Xiao Sabi's requirements, such as Wanyan Aguta.
In the past year, the Khitans have further increased their taxes and forced labor on the Jurchens because of the collection of various strange medicinal materials from the Jurchens.
Although the Jurchens have achieved the unreasonable demands of the Khitans in front of them, it may be difficult for them to continue to maintain them next year, plus the Khitan soldiers slaughtered several Jurchen villages last year and killed hundreds of their innocent people, it is not impossible to say that the Jurchens have the intention to retaliate.
Wanyan Aguda came to Zhongjing City to pay tribute this time, and it seems that he does not have any dissatisfaction with the Khitans, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is just forcing a smile, and in his heart, he will never want to continue to succumb to the iron hooves of the Khitans.
But Xiao Sabi felt that Wanyan Agu's motives were perfect, but it seemed that it was difficult for him to have the opportunity to get close to Yelu Hongji during the bowl festival, let alone poison Yelu Hongji's food.
So Xiao Sabi probably thought of another person, he had just conquered all the famous chefs and people in Zhongjing with his exquisite cooking skills, and Yelu Hongji wanted to hold a wedding for him and Princess Anguo on the Bowl Festival, so he must serve tea and toast to Yelu Hongji......
Seeing Yang Letian's worried look, Yang Huairen persuaded, "You don't have to worry about your father's safety, since he can still go out of the North Courtyard Dawang's Mansion to purchase ingredients, it means that he is not suspected by anyone, even if Xiao Sabi arranges a guard to follow everyone who leaves the mansion, it is just a means of secrecy."
So at present, your father is still very safe, and with his identity, it must be very difficult to find out such a confidential matter.
But he still did it under pressure, and he really found out the key news and sent it out smoothly, what does this mean?
It shows that because of the difficulties, he has to do it regardless of his own safety, in addition to being able to rescue the love of his heart, Han Sanniang, he just wants to reunite with your family.
Your father still cares about you very much, but it is difficult for him to choose between love and father-son love, so he once did something sorry for you.
If all goes well, Master believes that the day of your family reunion should not be far off. ”
Yang Letian listened to these words, and his face gradually improved, "I understand, Master, and I don't blame him anymore." ”
"That's good," Yang Huairen said, "Don't worry, Master has promised you, and I will definitely help you do it." ”
That being said, Yang Huairen still needs to make arrangements, on the day of the Bowl Festival, no matter if there is a big incident or not, he will send someone to the North Courtyard Dawangfu to rescue Father Yang and Han Sanniang, at all costs.
……
Tomorrow is the day of the bowl.
Before dawn that day, Yelu Hongji's team left the city, and Yang Huairen, as the protagonist of the wedding held at the bowl festival, led his team of about 200 people to follow the middle of the travel procession.
All kinds of officials, as well as the retinue and maids who accompanied them, the envoys of various countries, and the 3,000 guards who accompanied Yelu Hongji escorted tents and other camping supplies, and the brigade of seven or eight thousand people marched out of the capital to the west of the capital for a hundred miles and came to the grassland of western Beijing.
A hundred miles does not sound like much, but there are too many people accompanying the festival, and the team walks very slowly, and this way actually walks for almost a day.
When they arrived at the place, the Su Guards arranged officials and envoys from various countries according to the pre-planned area, and helped them set up Khitan-style dome tents.
When Yang Huairen and the others moved in, it was already sunset.
To the north is the mountains, and to the south is a thin woodland, and between the mountains and the woodlands is a flat meadow.
In the middle of the meadow, there are two lakes of similar size, as if the eyes of two earth elves are embedded in the grassland, and the north side of the lake happens to be a good place for nomadic habitat.
The Khitan people live near the water, not only traditionally, but also the needs of nomadic life. The lakes in the grasslands, or even the blisters as far as the eye can see, are surrounded by herders.
Blisters can provide water to the nomadic people, and at the same time, the pastures near these blisters are abundant in water, and the pastures on the pastures also grow extraordinarily luxuriantly, providing sufficient food for cattle, sheep and horses.
The northern grasslands have finally ushered in spring, and the pastures near the lakes are indeed stronger than the grasslands I saw along the way.
Not only is it big, but the blades of grass are also extraordinarily fat, and as soon as the thousands of cattle and sheep that were brought over for food because of the festival were released here, they all went straight to the most prosperous pasture place on the edge of the lake and began their gluttonous feast.
But they don't know that during the Bowl Festival, they will be slaughtered and turned into a delicacy on the human table.
The meadows are also covered with wildflowers of all colors, red, yellow, and purple, swaying in the warm light of dusk, giving the earth a more vivid color than green.
Looking up at the sky, it had gradually changed from blue to deep blue, rippling and connecting with the fiery red of the western sky, and a hazy shadow of the moon appeared in the eastern sky.
Prairie, really beautiful.
Yang Huairen had to sigh in his heart, not knowing what kind of killing story would happen tomorrow under such a beautiful and magnificent grassland beauty, thinking of this, he felt that although it was cannibalism within the Khitans, there was still a trace of sadness.
The philosophical proposition that human beings are smart and stupid at the same time has been passed down for thousands of years, but even in later generations, human beings are still using their wisdom to kill each other.
Yang Huairen smiled bitterly, since he understood this truth, why did he still do this? Even if he didn't do it himself this time, everything he did was not what he wanted.
