Without the annoying pester, Wang Qingyan's mood is much better, and he even feels that the New Year without his family is much smoother.

However, in this group, except for Wang Qingyan and a few little girls who basically didn't care about business, everyone was not in a good mood.

No one is happy!

Even the dart masters, who had drunk a lot of wine, became nervous and scared after a bad breath came out in their hearts.

As for why it was evil, it was very simple, because these dart masters were originally going to rest at the copper furnace pass, but they were told that they should immediately transfer the goods and make room for the Xianbei people to move in.

The good rest time was ruined by a group of filthy and embarrassed Xianbei people, and naturally no dart master was happy. This incident also alarmed Wang Qingyan.

Although they didn't say anything at the time, the dart masters were generally angry.

However, that group of Xianbei people was not easy to mess with, especially after knowing that the other party was actually the second prince of Xianbei, everyone didn't dare to have any ideas.

So everyone is like they want to hold back their fire.

But now...... The second prince of Xianbei was beaten by a young man.

That's a lot of fun!

That young man, Uncle Lou knows, after all, he has been with him all the way back then, so he feels even happier.

However, after being happy, I can't help but worry about my future livelihood.

After that, it is necessary to consider re-entering the grassland.

He Ruoque bandaged several small wounds on his body, and then followed behind Xianbei people, looking at his eyes, as if he still wanted to fight.

The Xianbei people had fierce eyes, but they didn't move.

The iron gate was close at hand, and an adjutant of the Northwest Army went out of the city to greet him, and Tuoba Yanqing and the rest of the Xianbei people went to the post station under his leadership.

Wang Qingyan's goods were naturally received and carried, so she went directly back to the mansion in the east of the city.

This mansion is divided into three parts, and in general, although it occupies a large area and has expanded to the extreme without exceeding the system, it is actually not big for Wang Qingyan. Especially after giving Xie Shenwei and He Ruo a part of it.

This huge mansion purchased and built by Wang Qingyan has three families, but it is also separated by a courtyard wall because of the etiquette system.

After Wang Qingyan returned home, she made up for her sleep, and then attended a family gathering initiated by He Ruoque.

It's a family reunion, but it's actually only five people.

Xie Shenwei and his wife added their daughters, He Ruoque and Wang Qingyan.

It is a typical appearance of the Xie family's gathering, which is completely different from the grand occasion of dozens or hundreds of people attending any party of the Wang family, even if it is a gathering initiated by the third generation.

Those people in the family only know what to do to make money in business, or poetry and songs, and when necessary, they don't care about family affection at all, they can turn their faces at any time, and they can stammer at any time, which is boring......

Although she has always been the object of stammering.

However, for more than ten years, he has been in the most dazzling position, and Wang Qingyan will also get tired. Now in the northwest for a year or two, I have experienced a lot of things, and I feel that it was really naïve at that time.

Although it was naïve to fall out with his family and run away from home, it was the most correct decision Wang Qingyan thought he had made in nearly 20 years of life.

If you have to say one thing about being dissatisfied with going to the northwest alone, it must be that you regret not tying up the chef at home at the beginning.

And yet now...... None of that matters anymore. She has become accustomed to the tastes of the Northwest and even the Xianbei people.

Xie Shence was in Jindu, running around all day long in order to accumulate the necessary capital, and worked hard with some people. The rest of the men of the Xie family are also working towards a common goal. Wang Jiehua is only one name away from becoming the mistress of the Xie family, and she will take care of the Jin capital in an orderly manner. And she is in the northwest, laying the foundation for his future foundation.

Thinking of these, the whole family was struggling, and Wang Qingyan felt a faint satisfaction in his heart. If I have to say that there is a fly in the ointment, it is that in the dead of night, I will miss someone extraordinarily.

There are only five people eating and drinking in the living room of Nuoda, and the burning floor heat makes the room very warm, so that people don't feel cold at all. Even the maids wore autumn clothes.

Steaming pots of different spices are tumbling and a dazzling array of shabu-shabu and sauces are on the table, and they are eating hot pot. Xie Shenwei and He Ruoque fought silently, and He Ruoque and Wang Qingyan brought her favorite dishes for the little girl from time to time.

Nian Zu, naturally it was He Ruo's brothers and sisters, although Xie Shenwei was no longer satisfied, he thought that this name was ugly, how unsuitable it was for girls, and it was not easy to object. After all, the home of the He Ruo brothers and sisters is in the grassland, and now they have no relatives and can't go back.

The daimyo has not yet been taken, so I just wait for the time to take the mother and daughter home so that the elders can see it, and the elders will take it.

There were still not many words during the banquet, most of them were He Ruoque and Wang Qingyan who raised the topic, making Xiao Nianzu laugh, and occasionally led the topic to He Ruoque and Xie Shenwei, or Wang Qingyan raised some questions, and Xie Shenwei He Ruoque said his views.

Wang Qingyan naturally talked about Tuoba Yanqing, and it was strange that they went south, Xie Shenwei knew the inside story, so he said it all, but he was a little disdainful that the Xianbei people wanted to get a piece of the pie on the trade road.

Seeing Xie Shenwei's attitude, Wang Qingyan also told He Ruoque about beating Tuoba Yanqing. She didn't think deeply about it, thinking that Xie Shenwei would find it more interesting.

However......

Xie Shenwei was very angry when he heard this.

And He Ruo's lack of an attitude that doesn't care about himself makes Xie Shenwei even more angry.

According to Xie Shenwei's temper in the past, he might think that He Ruoque fought well, but now that he feels that he should shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family, he is no longer as casual as before.

Besides, at this juncture, beating the second prince of Xianbei is really a bit ...... It's over.

If the attack on the Beast Eater Army can be regarded as a misunderstanding and then as a demonstration of strength, it can be regarded as controllable

, it can be used as a bargaining chip to put pressure on the other party, then, He Ruo's lack of single-handedness and wounding many Beast Devouring Army officers is a blatant provocation to Tuoba Yanqing.

After all, many people saw it at the time.

Face has always been the most important thing for nobles, and by doing this, He Ruoque undoubtedly stepped Tuoba Yanqing's face into the dirt.

So how could he stop?

And now Tuoba Yanqing is afraid that he has already reported what happened back to the royal court, and it is impossible to kill him.

Things are getting tricky again.

If it weren't for the occasion, Xie Shenwei and He Ruoque would inevitably have a big conflict.

After the meal, several letters were delivered to Wang Qingyan, which were information sent by his own spies, and he opened them and read them to know that they were a series of details about the second prince of Tuoba going south. It includes the route of Tuoba Yanqing after leaving the royal court, and who he met. Later, the intelligence also detailed the sneak attack of Buliu Gu Qiyan on Tuoba Yanqing's Beast Devouring Army, as well as some conversations between Shu Chengqing and Tuoba Yanqing.

Wang Qingyan thought about it for a long time, and also felt that this matter was very tricky.

However, this is a major military and political event in the northwest, and she is not qualified to say anything.

Although the rectification of commercial trade and the construction of trade routes made the top brass of the Northwest Army shine in her eyes, it was not to the extent that she could casually discuss her participation in military politics.

Wang Qingyan knew that this matter could not be resolved by ordinary means, and no concessions at the negotiating table would work.

……

……

As Xie Shenwei considered, Tuoba Yanqing did feel that he was very faceless at this time.

Thinking that this trip to the south was something that he had won over with great difficulty, he overwhelmed the eldest prince and the fourth prince, and even missed the Spring Festival ceremony on the grassland, just to be able to negotiate with the northwest on behalf of Xianbei. At this time, this situation has become a real anger.

Originally, as long as he could sit at the negotiating table, he would be able to seek the greatest benefits for his clan on the premise of ensuring the basic interests of the royal court.

This is urgent.

His cattle and sheep have not increased significantly in recent years, and his personal wealth has not increased because of the reward of warriors. His warriors have always maintained that level, not only in numbers, but also in many people, eager to change into armor made of the iron of the Jin or Qin kingdoms...... Even his six princesses sometimes envy the dress of the fourth princess.

These are the things he urgently needs to improve.

And among these situations that need to be improved, there is one thing that makes him particularly uncomfortable.

His princess...... Envy of others...... Wear!

He is the second prince of the Xianbei royal court! Noble status, strong strength, what do you want?

And his woman would actually envy others?

What does this mean?

It's not that his strength is not enough, it's not his ...... Lack of ability in some aspect is a sign that his wealth is not enough!!

He, as a rich man, was despised by his own woman!

What an insult?!

And this kind of insult exists in other people and other ways.

For example, the fourth prince will tell him, "I have a black jade chessboard."

At this time, Tuoba Yanqing, as the second brother, will have a strong ridicule.

Chessboard? You're a fucking barbarian, when are you going to play chess? Or is it Moyu's?

Xianbei is a nation on horseback, only the iron hooves of war horses and the scimitars of warriors are the foundation of life! What can a chessboard be used for?

Besides, do you know how to play chess? How many Xianbei people can play chess? The people who can count their own cattle and sheep are even knowledgeable, and those who can write are all big people of the tribe, who will know the Han people's crepe and impractical things?

So what's the use of your jade?

Will that thing help you expand your pastures or increase slaves?

Tuoba Yanqing naturally won't say these words. He would only show with his eyes, a certain disdain.

However, at this time, the fourth prince will also respond with his eyes.

Second brother, do you know what color the black jade chessboard is? Do you know the Nineteen Paths?

Don't say if you'll get down.

Can you afford it? Oh, you can afford it.

But can you buy it? Can't buy it, right?

Now, I can buy it.

In that case, what right do you have to despise me?

Do iron hooves and scimitars help you expand your pasture?

Bringing you more slaves?

The armor on your son-in-law is still from five years ago? Sewn and mended?

I have a black jade chessboard......

I don't play chess very well, and I don't usually use it.

But, I just have.

And you don't.

That's enough.

Whenever this happens, Tuoba Yanqing wants to kill people very much.

And the fourth prince not only has a black jade chessboard, but also other things.

Tuoba Yanqing knew that the reason why the fourth prince had increased his wealth sharply in recent years was because of the result of trade with the Jin people and directly in the northwest.

And some of his "flashy" gadgets are provided by one of the largest merchants. And the leader of the Shang Gang is very familiar with the princesses of the fourth prince.

Even the scimitar he gave to his father for his father's birthday last year was ordered at a high price by the merchant gang in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Tuoba Yanqing felt that the situation should not be like this.

He felt he didn't deserve to be treated like this. So he thinks that he can replace the fourth prince and become the best partner of the merchant gang.

So he came, and he couldn't wait to come with dignity and majesty. In order to show his strength, he deliberately selected one hundred and forty elite warriors from the Beast Eater Army. In order to get in touch with the Northwest one day earlier, he even got rid of all the etiquette and negotiators.

However...... Heaven does not fulfill people's wishes.
