Chapter 119 Northern Territory
In the military tent, Marshal Qin sat in the middle and Prefect Xu sat at the bottom.
Marshal Qin sat upright with his chin slightly raised.
And Prefect Xu bowed slightly with a flattering look on his face.
It is obvious at a glance who is more or less familiar with the two people.
"Thanks to Marshal Qin's awe-inspiring presence, he frightened Captain Lin, otherwise I would still be at the city gate, being harassed by her."
Prefect Xu smiled ingratiatingly and personally poured a cup of tea for Marshal Qin.
The two began to chat and laugh.
Thinking about the fact that Captain Lin was going to Beizi Country to rescue people, these two people were simply gloating.
The climate in Beizi is harsh, with extremely cold and snowy weather for 10 months out of the 12 months a year.
Moreover, the country of Beizi is vast, sparsely populated, with vast grasslands and endless deserts that can make people lose their way.
Moreover, there are all kinds of ferocious beasts, including tigers, black bears, and wild wolves...
The most terrifying thing is that the royal family of Beizi has mastered the skills of animal taming and can control wild beasts to attack humans.
Therefore, the Great Yan Kingdom, the Western Xia Kingdom, and the Southern Zhao Kingdom all turned pale when talking about Bei Zi. Only Bei Zi had the right to attack others, and no one had ever thought of attacking Bei Zi's territory.
In the hundreds of years since the establishment of the Great Yan Dynasty, no one has ever successfully entered the imperial court of the Beizi Kingdom. They could only try their best to stop the Beizi Kingdom when it invaded the border.
The Beizi Kingdom is a threat that can never be eliminated for the Great Yan Dynasty.
It can be imagined that Captain Lin would surely die without a burial place if he went to Beizi Country to rescue people.
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel a little happy, and raised the oolong tea and drank it all in one gulp.
"Beizi is a country of tigers and wolves. The little girl is proud and arrogant. She wants to die. There is no need to stop her. When she goes to Beizi, she will be crushed to pieces without our help."
Prefect Xu nodded his head rapidly, "Yes, yes, Marshal Qin is right. I heard that you once entered the Northern Kingdom when you were young? Only a warrior like you can return to the Great Yan Kingdom alive."
Over the past decade, it is said that Qin Chuan was the only one who escaped unscathed after entering the Beizi Kingdom.
When Prefect Xu brought up this matter, he originally wanted to praise Qin Chuan for his bravery, but he didn't expect that Qin Chuan was most afraid of people mentioning this matter.
He was happily drinking tea, but when he heard Prefect Xu mention this, the empty teacup in his hand immediately fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Qin Chuan recalled his youth.
It is also the past event that he least wants to recall in his life.
He was 25 years old at that time, young and energetic, ambitious, and determined to achieve military merit.
Others didn't dare to go to Beizi Country, but he insisted on going.
At that time, Qin Chuan led a small team of 500 people and chased a group of northern barbarian soldiers into the border of Beizi State.
There is a large forest at the border of Beizi Country. Qin Chuan and others got lost after entering.
After dark, all kinds of strange noises were heard in the woods, like the voices of ghosts.
In the dark night, the fear was magnified infinitely, and many men were actually scared to tears.
And it caused everyone to suffer from severe tinnitus. Qin Chuan still has tinnitus, and he has seen countless famous doctors but none of them have been able to cure it.
At that time, I was trapped in the woods, with little food and water, and surrounded by fear. I cried out to heaven and earth, but no one answered my call. I really don't want to experience that kind of despair again.
After being lost in the forest for half a month, half of the five hundred people disappeared and their whereabouts were unknown.
It's a very scary kind of disappearance. The person is standing next to you the last moment, and the next moment, that person disappears out of thin air. It's really scary.
Later, there were only about two hundred people left.
When Qin Chuan and others were most hungry and exhausted, they were attacked by a group of tigers, wild wolves and black bears.
It was really tragic. My teammates were bitten to pieces, not a single one was intact.
After the wild beasts dispersed, only a dozen of the more than 200 people were left, and they escaped only by hiding in tall trees.
The situation they faced at that time was that not only could they not get out of the forest, but they might also be besieged and bitten by all kinds of ferocious beasts at any time.
Hunger and fear enveloped everyone. The ground was littered with bones gnawed by wild beasts, all of which were those of teammates. It was eerie and made people feel very desperate.
Some people just went crazy.
In the end, only Qin Chuan walked out of the forest.
The reason he was able to escape alive was because he survived by eating his teammates.
Beizi Country was his nightmare and a past that he could not face, so he never mentioned it to anyone and did not like anyone to mention it in front of him.
Therefore, he did not like to fight a head-on war with the people of Beizi. Every time a small group of people from Beizi invaded, he would order them to send money, food and women.
Of course, the emperor acquiesced to this kind of thing.
For the emperor, as long as their kingdom lasts forever, sacrificing a few poor people is not worth mentioning.
"Prefect Xu, please stop asking about Beizi Country. It's useless to ask. Anyway, no one can come back alive from Beizi Country."
Prefect Xu found that Qin Chuan's face was pale and covered with cold sweat.
It seems that the previous experience has dealt a heavy blow to Qin Chuan.
The territory of Beizi is indeed as terrible as the rumors say.
Even a man as strong and brave as Qin Chuan is so afraid of the Beizi Kingdom, let alone Lin Qianhu, a frail little woman.
Save people? How naive. You will never come back.
In this case, Captain Lin will surely die in the Kingdom of Beizi.
This is a win-win situation.
By then, the Ice Sculpture Grand View Garden, which brought in a fortune every day, would belong to them. With mountains of gold and silver every day, they would never be able to spend all the money even if they had many concubines.
Governor Xu had been coveting the ice sculpture garden for a long time.
We sent people to cause trouble several times, but failed every time.
But if Captain Lin died, the ice sculpture garden would be within reach without any effort.
Since Marshal Qin didn't like to talk about his trip to Beizi Country when he was young, Prefect Xu changed the subject.
"Marshal Qin, we have just killed more than 200 northern barbarians. What if the Beizi Kingdom uses all its strength to encircle and suppress Beiyue City? What should we do?"
Prefect Xu was really worried that once Beiyue City fell, his official career would be over.
He was promoted from a small county magistrate to a prefect after paying bribes of 80,000 taels of silver, and has not yet earned back his capital.
But as soon as he said this, a soldier ran in in a panic.
Even the hat on his head was askew, obviously he was still very anxious.
"Reporting to the Grand Marshal, something terrible has happened. Twenty thousand elite soldiers from the North are attacking us, and according to reports, there are reinforcements coming."
Prefect Xu was so frightened that he fell to the ground. It was really true that good things don't work, but bad things do.
He raised his hand and slapped his right cheek several times. "What a crow's mouth! Whatever you say comes true. It's all over now. It's all because of that girl surnamed Lin. Marshal Qin, why don't we hand over the girl surnamed Lin to the northern barbarians?"
"No." Qin Chuan denied it immediately.
Not to mention how fiercely the Marquis of Guanjun defended himself, he also couldn't get past His Majesty.
His Majesty doesn't mind sending a few poor women to the northern barbarians, as he will be happy to have peace on the border.
But Captain Lin is a female official appointed by His Majesty himself. If Captain Lin is handed over, it would be tantamount to slapping His Majesty in the face.
