The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 208

"I don't dare to show off my humble knowledge in front of Lord Hou. If there is something wrong, please forgive me." Qi Xuan felt a little embarrassed by Jiang Chuan's gaze, and she lowered her head and said in a low voice. .

"Your this is not superficial knowledge, it is the long-term knowledge of the old man seeking the country. But don't mention this matter again, I have my own opinion in my heart." Jiang Chuan smiled and said lightly, with an unquestionable voice in his voice majesty.

"Your maidservant knows." Qi Xuan lowered her head and said.

She knew that the young Marquis in front of her had always been a decisive and assertive person. He would do what he wanted to do to the end, and it would be useless for anyone to say what he didn't want to do.

There was a momentary silence in the Nuan Pavilion, Qi Xuan continued to comb her hair, Jiang Chuan continued to close her eyes and think about things.

What Qi Xuan said was actually a political marriage.But Qi Xuan still thinks too simply.

Political marriage is an expedient means of uniting forces that are similar in strength to one's own.This means can play a very limited role, and not long-term.

The reason why the Manchu nobles married a large number of noble women from various Mongolian tribes was that they realized that they could not completely subdue the Mongols by force, so they used the trick of marriage after showing off their muscles. Because of the status and treatment of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, the Mongols were firmly tied to their chariots.

But Jiang Chuan was different from them, and the Manchus were not Mongols either.Jiang Chuan's attitude towards Man Qing has always been very clear: Li Ting sweeps the acupoints and uproots them.

Only at that time, when all the Manchurians completely surrendered to him, would he consider Qi Xuan's suggestion and accept Yatu, so as to calm the hearts of the Manchurians.

But now it is absolutely impossible.Once he now directs his lower body to accept Yatu with his upper body, it will not only embarrass his subordinates, but even make some people feel alienated from him.

It can be said that Jiang Chuan was able to come to this day because of the banner of living high in the Qing Dynasty. How could he slap himself in the face?Nobody with even the slightest bit of political savvy would do that.

Although Jiang Chuan is not yet a political expert, he still has this vision and insight.

Putting aside the political point of view, even in terms of personal feelings, he couldn't accept Yatu first.A Bai Jinxiu who is still there without a name or title, works hard for herself, but behind her takes a princess from the enemy country as a concubine, what does Bai Jinxiu think of this?
Therefore, whether public or private, Jiang Chuan can't Nayatu at this time, and even others can't.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuan sighed secretly. It seems that he, the great prince, has to wait until the Qing Dynasty is destroyed and Liaodong is pacified before he can consider personal issues. This is still a painful thing.

Now it seems that being a superior does not necessarily mean having more freedom than ordinary people.

After grooming, Jiang Chuan had breakfast, served by Qi Xuan, and put on the bullfighting suit given by the emperor. Outside the bullfighting suit, he put on a waist-length soft armor made of rhinoceros leather, and a belt made of rhinoceros leather around his waist. The lord's sword hangs on the left.On both sides of the waist are brocade battle skirts, and on the feet are calf-length buckskin ankle boots.

Finally, put on a helmet with a brightly colored helmet. There are ear protectors made of fox fur on the ears on both sides. Wearing it on the head does not feel cold at all, because there is a lining made of animal fur inside, and even the edges of the armor are made of fur. edge.

After wearing this outfit, coupled with Jiang Chuan's tall and straight figure, Qi Xuan's eyes sparkled, and she not only praised: "Mr. of."

Jiang Chuan laughed and said, "Really? Then have you also fallen in love with Ben Hou Ye?"

Qi Xuan blushed pretty, and was about to speak when she heard footsteps outside the door, and said loudly, "Miss Bai is here."

Before Jiang Chuan could react, Qi Xuan had already floated to the door to lift the curtain.

As soon as the door curtain was lifted, Bai Jinxiu just appeared at the door, with her right hand raised in a gesture of lifting the door curtain.

The door curtain opened suddenly, so she still looked surprised, and Jiang Chuan couldn't help laughing when she saw it.

"Do you think it's a coincidence? Qi Xuan, the little girl, heard the sound of footsteps, and knew it was you who came, so she was in a hurry to lift the curtain for you, and left me, the Marquis, alone." Jiang Chuan looked at Bai Jinxiu walked in and said with a smile.

Qi Xuan lowered the door curtain and said with a smile: "Miss Bai is more expensive than Lord Hou. If the slaves move slowly and freeze Miss Bai, Lord Hou will definitely blame me."

Bai Jinxiu's little face flushed red from the cold suddenly became a little shy when he said this, and looked up at Jiang Chuan, just in time to meet his smiling eyes looking at her, pursing his lips and laughing too.

Qi Xuan took an excuse to serve Bai Jinxiu a bowl of ginger soup to dispel the cold, and left the house, only Jiang Chuan and Bai Jinxiu were left.

"Why did you come so early in the morning? What's the rush?" Jiang Chuan raised the topic and asked, holding Bai Jinxiu's cold catkins by the way.

"Why are your hands so cold? Let me rub them for you." Jiang Chuan asked in surprise.

Bai Jinxiu's face became hot, and she subconsciously pulled her hand away.But Jiang Chuan held it tightly, so she had no choice but to let him hold it and rub it vigorously, her face was full of shame, but she didn't pull it back.

When Jiang Chuan stopped his movements, he felt that his hands were getting hotter, so he said, "I came to say goodbye to you. I'm going back to Datong today. I'm not here, so I still feel a little worried."

Jiang Chuan was taken aback, and said, "Are you in a hurry to leave now? You've only been back for a few days, why don't you stay a few more days, we haven't talked properly yet."

Bai Jinxiu's heart warmed up, and she said softly with a smile in her eyes: "When did you become so affectionate, you have learned to say these words to coax girls."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Chuan didn't feel much better, and he was too ashamed to die.

Jiang Chuan knew that she was thin-skinned, and seeing her blushing with shame, his heart moved. Seeing her rosy and full cherry lips, he felt an urge to print them.

It’s just that this scene doesn’t feel right at the moment, so I had no choice but to restrain my impulse, and said with a light smile: “Children love each other, but heroes are short of breath. No wonder I feel short of breath when I wake up today. The feelings should be with you.”

Bai Jinxiu burst out laughing at his words, hastily pressed his lips together, and laughed with his shoulders twitching.

After flirting for a while, the two finally got down to business.

"I'm in a hurry to go back to Datong. I just want to get in touch with Li Yongnian, the chief soldier of Datong, to test his attitude towards us. If this person intends to join us, then I will start arranging a chance for you to meet. Since next spring you want Launch the spring offensive, if we can pull Li Yongnian into our camp before then, we will really have nothing to worry about."

Bai Jinxiu said seriously.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chuan said: "You are reasonable in thinking about this matter. How about this, the last time the emperor ordered Datong to give us five thousand shi of military rations, this matter has not yet been settled. This Li Yongnian has not sent anyone so far Come to see me, I don’t know what you’re planning. After you go back, contact this person first. If this person is still vacillating and doesn’t speak clearly, I will ask Ran Wu to take people to Datong City in the name of begging for food and grass. Walk around and put a little pressure on him."

　The second one arrives.Thanks to the "Wolf? Anger" brothers for the reward.There are three more, and it will definitely be done before midnight. The old cat doesn't want to harm himself...
