From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 993

The sun was shining, but the wind was still strong.

The scenery here was different from that in the interior of the country. It was vast, remote, desolate, and magnificent.

The endless white, the towering dry mountains, the galloping all the way, and even the wolves running over.

After running forward for another hour, Zhou Yuan actually saw a dense forest, with needles covered with white snow, densely packed together, and the horses galloping in it, which was very novel.

"Huh!"

Xingyao pulled the reins from behind, then jumped down and tied the horse to the tree.

She looked back at Zhou Yuan and said, "I'll take you to see the place I come most often. I discovered this place when I was very young."

The weather was cold, but her hands were warm.

Zhou Yuan held her little hand and followed her forward, asking, "What's ahead?"

Xingyao smiled and said nothing, quickly climbed up a low slope, and could already see a faint smoke ahead.

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment before he said in surprise: "It's a hot spring!"

Xingyao smiled and said: "This is my secret world, I never share it with anyone."

While speaking, she had already taken off the silver armor on her body, revealing the gray cotton robe inside.

With her long hair hanging down, Xingyao was less heroic and more feminine.

"Don't just look at me, take off yours too!"

She laughed and said: "Take a break from the busy schedule and soak in a warm bath with my man. It must taste very good."

Take off the cotton robe, and her graceful and slender figure is already revealed.

Unlike the racial genes of agricultural civilization, hunting people need to run, not bend over, so their legs are very long.

As the close-fitting clothes were taken off, Xingyao was already naked, and a pair of long legs against the sky were also revealed.

She is definitely not a bamboo pole. Although she is very thin, her whole body curves are quite superior, with bumps and curves, thin branches and fruits, and a well-proportioned body, like the daughter of God.

The silver earrings on her ears, which were as big as the rings of bracelets, swayed slightly, giving people a wild charm.

Xingyao did not go into the water, but turned around in front of Zhou Yuan, raised her chin and said proudly: "Do you look good? This is me! The most beautiful woman on the grassland!"

Then she jumped into the water, splashing water all over the sky, and waved her hand: "Don't stand there, come down quickly, women not only need warm soup, but also men."

...

Go forward.

It's very hungry.

It smells the smell of food.

There is a huge sound of water coming from the front, bang bang bang, like a beast fighting.

This is a good thing, it likes beasts, because no one is more fierce than it.

The huge tiger walked in the snow without making any sound, and no one could detect it, not to mention the huge sound of water in front, accompanied by a shrill cry.

Today I can finally have a full meal, I have been hungry for almost a month.

In the winter, do you still want to let the tiger live!

The huge tiger continued to move forward.

It saw two people fighting fiercely in the hot spring!

Ha! It turns out that humans can fight so rudely! This tiger is here to help you solve the conflict!

"Fuck! There's a big bug!"

Zhou Yuan exclaimed.

"Don't worry about it!"

Zhou Yuan said in surprise: "Damn! It's not a wolf! It's a tiger!"

He was about to make a move, but suddenly saw the tiger on the shore suddenly widened its eyes, its expression instantly became distorted, and then it let out a howl, turned around and ran away.

Zhou Yuan was stunned.

He was puzzled for a moment, then said: "This tiger... looks familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere."

Xingyao was so angry that she lay down and bit him hard, saying: "Don't worry about it now, stinky man, I am the tiger you need to defeat!"

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing, grinning: "You really don't know the height of the world."

The huge tiger ran wildly.

It knew that it was being targeted! It must be like this!

It was caught up after running so far. Humans are too scary.

It decided to keep running! Run to a colder place!

…

In the tent, Buyanggu and Huang Taiji both frowned.

Zhou Yuan walked in, picked up a cup of tea and drank it.

Then he sat on the blanket and greeted: "Buyanggu Beile, long time no see. Judging from your face, you don't seem to be doing well recently."

Buyanggu glanced behind him and asked in confusion: "Where is Xingyao?"

Zhou Yuan's face remained unchanged and said: "Oh, she went back to the big tent to rest."

This little wild wolf was too courageous and had strong fighting power. It could withstand the high-intensity and intensive shooting of the Maxim frequency for up to an hour, and finally collapsed and fainted.

It was not until he returned to the tribe that he woke up with difficulty, but he still looked dying.

Huang Taiji didn't care about these details, but said calmly: "The other party has sent a letter, and the negotiation time isIt will be the morning of the day after tomorrow, and the location will remain the same, still Guhewei."

"The leader of the other side is called Gumanyev, the major general of the Tsarist Semenovsky Corps, one of the highest military commanders in eastern Siberia, and the supreme leader of this expedition."

"Besides that, we have no other information about this person. "

Sure enough, as the intelligence provided by the second senior sister is consistent, Peter the Great has completed the reform of the military system and established the two core corps of Preobrazhensky and Semenovsky as the main force. The main force is divided into field troops and garrison troops, and there are more subdivided arms under them.

Gumanyev should be a major general of the field troops, which comes from the "Official Rank Table" that Peter the Great completed a few years ago.

There are also lieutenant generals, generals and marshals above them.

They have a brand new look in the military system and have met the requirements of the changing times.

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "Logically, people of this level will not appear in such occasions. It seems that they have studied us for a long time and attach great importance to you."

Huang Taiji said: "This is exactly what I am worried about. Knowing yourself and the enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. They know us so well, which means that the expedition mission is very successful, and the subsequent war will be very unfavorable to us."

Zhou Yuan said: "I will go to see him as the son-in-law of the Qing Dynasty. "

Huang Taiji was silent for a long time.

He understood the meaning of Zhou Yuan's actions.

Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay."

Going to meet as the Grand Marshal of the Jin Army can convey a message that the Jurchens and the Jin have reached an alliance, and the other party will have to think twice before taking action.

Going to meet as the son-in-law, according to the other party's understanding, the Jin and the Jurchens are mortal enemies and it is difficult to unite, so this battle is set.

Since they have to fight, the Jurchens will naturally pay a huge price, and Huang Taiji naturally hopes to avoid it.

But he soon figured it out. The will of a great power is not so easy to change. The other party's strategy has been made and will not retreat.

No matter what, they have to fight, so it is better to hide the relationship and take them by surprise.

So, Huang Taiji looked at Zhou Yuan and said solemnly: "Tomorrow, how about it? "

Zhou Yuan naturally understood what he meant. If they started fighting directly tomorrow, they would definitely catch the other side off guard, and they might even kill Gumanyev.

Huang Taiji wanted to fight.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "The other side will not give us a chance. On the contrary, we have to guard against the other side, so we can't be too tough."

Huang Taiji had no expression on his face and said softly, "Then wait a little longer, wait for your reply."
