The North Meadow was once terrified, and it was known as the land where the grassland of the North Grassland was broken. Under the bright sun of July, it was no longer a border battlefield for the exclusive exile of the North King's Court. Since the empire mastered Onnaco, this large grassy lush pasture has become more and more prosperous, and the madly long grass surrounds the long side of the silver belt crossing the river.

The sparkling water surface shone in the sun with an intoxicating luster. White waterbirds fluttered from the reeds beside the river in front of them. At the same time, with the establishment of the empire’s reign in the Onco grassland, the absolute Under the guarantee of force, businessmen from the three directions of Obaro, Centralbia, and the Northern Grassland also frequented, and large trade fairs were born.

And Yelv Qiyeguang put forward the evidence of the collusion between the cold people and the prairie tribes inside Onnaco from the border trade.

Just like the scale of this side set in front of you, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small city. The earthen castellations of more than two meters are surrounded by a circle with a length and width of three or four miles, and inside are densely packed houses with earth walls. At the entrance of the bazaar, there are several tribal soldiers wearing lock armor stuck at the entrance, constantly checking the caravans, if the caravan does not give money, they will not let the caravan pass

"The above is the Yungu Market mentioned in the report, and also the market nearest to the north."

A short stature prairie man, wearing a most common prairie mail armor, with a sharp gaze retracted from Yunguji in front, said respectfully to a young dark-haired Central Asian youth around him, dark-haired Central Asian The youth looks a little honest, but in the flashing eyes, there is a feeling of palpitation. Behind the black-haired youth, hundreds of prairie cavalry stopped the war horses neatly. Although Onna was an imperial region, since A few months ago, the Imperial Eastern Ting Army stationed in Onnaco moved southward. The size of more than a hundred cavalry has been rarely seen. Although you know that although it is a large market, it is geographically deviated from the center of Onnaco. The position, even the imperial frontiers stationed there, also rarely come,

"Who is responsible here now?

The dark-haired youth's gaze paused on the tribal soldiers at the entrance of the bazaar, and did not show the slightest unexpected look. The mountain river stretched below to infinite distance

It seems that the situation mentioned by Yelv Qiyeguang has confirmed part of the situation. Some tribes in the Onnaco area already have tribes collecting taxes. This is definitely a very dangerous signal. You should know that the Empire has long issued a decree that does not charge access taxes. Yes, Onna was part of the empire’s municipality, and now some people are collecting private tax in the empire, which is no different from the rebellion.

The empire did not intervene in the Prairie Market. The distinguished status of emperor disciples and lovers, such as Brant Bonnie, was still the commander of the North Army at the time. The market set up in the northern part of the empire did not dare to openly and directly Putting the name of the Frontier Defense North Army is usually handed over to a nearby tribe to take charge

"Should be Jin Liyang Department"

The strong man also saw this scene, and his face became very serious. He took a deep breath and said, "The subordinates knew that the garrison should not intervene in the military orders, so they just handed Yunguji to the nearby Jinliyang tribe, and Jinli The Yang tribe is only responsible for the security of the Yungu market, and does not have the power to collect taxes from the merchants. Unexpectedly, Jin Li Yang was so bold, because it is really remote, even the nearest northern grassland Zazaku The ministry has already moved the clan south, and there is no threatening force around it. Even if I have been in Anner for more than a year, I have only been here once. This was not the case!"

"It seems there might be a problem here"

The fat man frowned slightly, and said with a condensed voice, "The secret report that the cold people might have intervened in Onnaco is from the south of Zazaku. Although Zazaku moved south, his ancestral land remained in the sea. There are a lot of people, and now these people have been killed by the cold people, and the area that originally belonged to Zazakube has now been taken over by the cold people. As the highest military chief in the Onnaco area, you don’t have any at all. Receive the report?"

Hearing the emperor's words, the strong man suddenly sweated out of his forehead, immediately came down from the war horse, kneeled in front of the emperor's horse on one knee, and said hardly, "Onna Prairie said that it is not too big, and that it is not too small , Within a radius of five hundred miles, I can’t even get a few pairs of eyes, even if I have a long pair of eyes, especially in the area where the three realms meet, such as Yungu Market, there are so many caravans. The Jin Liyang Department collected private tax, and his subordinates have been fighting in the South for a while.

"Forget it, you weren't wrong at Onna this time, the responsibility for this matter is not yours"

The fat man also knows that something is too important. The southward diversion of Onna’s imperial force is his own order. Moreover, Wumu has been in the Central Biya area for two consecutive months. The Jinliyang family in charge of Yunguji deliberately concealed that even if Wu Mu had a thousand eyes, it would be a mere useless distance thousands of miles away.

The fat man waved his hand. Although Wumu was very loyal, he was obviously still weak in how to manage it. He said with relief, "I never doubted your loyalty. I was just a little angry that these people recuperate on the land of the empire. The grassland tribe who wanted to unite the cold people to bite the empire in the first place. The empire has never had a soft record for the wolf pups who are not well-fed. Even Huairou, it depends on the object."

"At the beginning, these tribes were forced by the pressure of the empire, and they asked the empire to surrender. After two years of rest and recuperation, they had obtained considerable resources by relying on the big tree of the empire. One by one was not what it was when it was in trouble. The imperial army is still there, and they naturally dare not be arrogant, but the tribes of the grassland have always been like this. Power and ambition are linked together. In the face of the huge temptation of the cold people to go south and the large grassland vacancy, you are still there. For more than a year in Onner’s mistake, the Huairou measures taken have given these tribes an illusion that your Wumu is a good deceiver, and it’s time to change this image! To be A qualified manager must first let the other party know your strength!"

"The subordinates understand that the subordinates will thoroughly investigate the matter immediately. If the situation is true, all the clans involved will not stay."

Wu Mu's face was full of shame. As the emperor said, Huairou's policy was wrong. Wu Mu was voluntarily surrendering to the empire because of the battle of the Emperor Onna. At the same time, Wu Mu's new regional governor was not rich. Experience, so after entering O'Neill wrong, the Ministry adopted the Huairou policy after the empire conquered the region. Wu Mu did not expect that this would be the result.

Thinking of the headmen of the prairie department, I don’t know how to laugh at myself from the back. His eyes are fierce, like a bloodthirsty lone wolf, and the cold people’s affairs are put aside for a while, Jin Liyang Department I collected the road tax privately, and I didn't even know any news. If it was before, this is naked overhead! These brave and arrogant guys secretly emptied themselves. If the emperor was not aware of anything, once the empire and the cold began to fight, they were afraid that they would not even know how to die!

Just as the two were talking, a trembling trembling sound came from the ground. Fatty and Wumu looked at the direction of the rumbling sound at the same time. I saw a black line in the northeast of Yunguji, according to The fat man's vision has seen that it is a cavalry running from the front line,

Ten minutes later, the black line formed by the prairie cavalry was getting closer and closer to Yunguji, and a golden sheep-headed flag running in front of him made Wu Mu's complexion turn green. , Now even blatantly mobilizing the clan soldiers to show off their power in the vicinity of the bazaar, this is obviously to see this bazaar as a place for their own expectations, and forget that this is the land of the empire, seeing this scene, Wu Mu's fingers slammed Tight, frightened with cold eyes, no matter whether there are cold people or not, Jin Liyang can't stay!

Yun Guji also seems to have found this team of grassland cavalry who stayed in the distance. Soon, several cavalry from the Jinliyang Department gathered around a delicate figure, although at a certain distance, it can also be seen that it is A pretty **** the prairie, wrapped in an emerald-colored prairie robe with soft half-length armor on her shoulders, her bright hair draped over her shoulders The long legs show the vitality of the young girl. Behind the girl, followed by 20 or 30 cavalry members of the Jin Liyang Department, they are galloping in the direction of the fat man.

"Your Majesty, do you need to do it?" Wu Mu looked at the emperor beside him.

"Look at the situation"

The fat man waved his hand in disapproval, and now suddenly turned around, he would just start to scratch the grass,

The other party should be unable to recognize himself. In order to conceal his identity, he and the guards behind him are wearing prairie costumes. The average person cannot recognize them, and Wumu has been in the warm and humid climate in the south for two months. Because the weather was too hot, the woods of the northerners had long shaved their iconic grassland beard clean, revealing a white face that seemed to be faintly bookish. At that time, the emperor made a good joke. For a while, such Wumu, let alone ordinary prairie people, even Wuwu's wife, afraid that he wouldn't recognize the person in front of him without carefully looking at it, that is, the sturdy and courageous Governor General Onno wood

In the distance, after seeing the fat man and the wood in front of him, the prairie girl stopped the war horse at a position of more than 20 meters, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, which seemed to be wrong. Treat others

The girl made a prairie salute here, and said in a clear voice, "I am Ai Qingli from Jin Liyang Department. If you are an eagle, you should fly high above the sky. If you are a wolf hunt, you should run in the north. On the meadow, people from afar, are you an eagle crossing the sky, or a hunting wolf?"

"We just passed by, originally wanted to rest in Yunguji. It seems that Yunguji is a little different from before. We will leave soon!" Wu Mu responded immobilely. In his heart, Jin Liyang Department It’s already dead. Three days later, the horseshoes of the 80,000 Empire Iron Rider will wipe out everything in front of her.

"Yun Guji?"

When Ai Qingli heard the name, her eyes shone brightly, and she swept the hundreds of imperial cavalry soldiers behind Fatty and Wumu, and her cheeky face suddenly became cold. Gu Ji has long been changed to Jinliyang City. I don’t know. Now anyone who is within one mile of Jinliyang City needs to pay the toll to my Jinliyang Department. You, so many people, don’t have a thousand imperial gold. I just want to leave my Jin Liyang department’

"This is my own death!"

Wu Mu's eyes narrowed into a line, and there was obviously a raging rolling anger inside. His hand touched the waist of the scimitar handle. Every two or thirty tribal cavalry, even if they were all killed, it would be so.

"Give her a thousand imperial gold," the fat man raised his hand to Wu Mu beside him

"This..." Wu Mu looked dull.

"I have long heard that there is one of the most beautiful dragon and blue flowers in the prairie inside the Jin Liyang Department. I didn't expect to see it today~lightnovelpub.net~ a thousand imperial gold, it is really worth it!"

The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his complexion made Ai Qingli on the opposite side look magnificent. The character of the prairie woman was always bold. The fat man casually said a few words. Although the appearance of the fat man is not very good, the level of the sister is one-on-one,

"For your sweet taste, your toll-free tax will be waived. It's not the one you can stay for a long time. It's best to leave now!" Ai Qingliyu said with a blushing face and a charming expression , Full of innocent girlish taste, turning around with a slight waist and twisting will take the cavalry back

"Of course, we will leave right away. I saw that today Jinliyang city seems to be full of excitement, and the lady is waiting here, is there any big man coming..." The fat man deliberately flattered his voice deliberately, before the eyes. Ai Qingli is obviously the daughter of the head man of Jin Liyang. When she ran over just now, she didn’t come to collect any toll tax, but was waiting for someone. After seeing her own group, she temporarily got up and could make Ai Qingli like this. Prairie girls are so eager, they should not be ordinary people, the biggest may be cold people

"Or do you have a vision, unlike this rotten wood?" It seems that when talking about Ai Qingli's heart, Ai Qingli raised her exquisite small whip, and said crisply, "If you don't say it, it will scare you, since you must Ask, then I will tell you well, today I am going to greet one of the most distinguished guests

"The most distinguished guest?" Fatty and Wu Mu glanced face to face

"My husband who is engaged in Ai Qingli, even if it is placed on the prairie, is also the top hero! The governor of the empire An Onwu Wu Wu!" Ai Qingli lifted her small and beautiful chin with a smile on his face, I saw the brawny man next to the fat man almost planted a horse
