The Great Wei Music Bureau

Chapter 245 Enemy

Last time, we talked about Li Yi and his party coming to Yanmen Pass, which is the border of Daizhou. Beyond Yanmen Pass is Shuozhou. The ancestors of Tuoba established Dai State in Daizhou. Later, Daizhou was destroyed. The descendants of Tuoba restored the country in Shuozhou, which was the Northern Wei Dynasty. The first capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty was Shengle in Suzhou. Now it is the camp of the Zhenbei Army and the Northern Border Palace of the Zhenbei King. So what kind of experience will Li Yi and his party have in Shuozhou? Let's take a look together.

Chi Le Chuan, at the foot of Yin Mountain. The sky is like a dome covering the surrounding area.

The sky is blue, the wild is vast.The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

This folk song of the Northern Wei Dynasty still existed in this era. As soon as people entered Shuozhou, they no longer took cars, but rode horses slowly. As they saw the grassland and the blue sky along the way, Dugu Yu hummed this song, but the tune of the song was really unacceptable to Li Yi.

Li Yi waved his hands and said, "Stop, stop, stop. This song sounds like it's calling souls. Don't call the wolves here again!" Li Yi's words made everyone laugh.

Dugu Yu said unhappily, "This song is originally sung like this. We all sing it like this. How come it's calling souls? How come it's calling wolves?"

Nangong Qi said sternly: "Brother Yu, let me be fair. Your singing is really not that good. Maybe your singing skills are not good enough. If Xiuyuan sings, maybe it will feel different."

Bai Ling smiled and said, "My lord, Master Qi is provoking you. As the head of the Music Bureau, how can you remain indifferent?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Brother Qi, I didn't mean that. Instead, you are provoking me. Are you blaming me for not having a new song for you?"

Bai Ling snorted softly, "It's good to know. You wrote so many songs for Su Xiao in Nanliang. I don't believe you two don't have any private feelings!"

Shiyu chimed in: "Hey, sister is right. I don't know where the teacher is now. If I have a chance to see the teacher, I will definitely ask him."

Li Yi sighed lightly and said, "Oh! I am really impressed, Bailing. As you wish, I will use the lyrics of "Chi Le Song" to compose a new song for you." As he spoke, Li Yi condensed his energy into objects that turned into guitars, ocarinas and other musical instruments. He controlled the instruments with the spiritual sound spell and played the version of "Chi Le Song" that he had heard before.

Li Yi sang with deep emotion:

My heart follows the world, my mind is led by the cattle and sheep, the smoke in the desert embraces the setting sun

At the end of the sky, chatting with the moon, the bonfire reflected my face, I was drunk with the lasso pole

My heart follows the world, looking for that optimistic feeling, where are you, love? The girl asks the sky

At the end of the sky, drinking with the moon, with the bonfire reflecting my face, riding a horse across the Chi Le River

Chi Le Chuan, at the foot of Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome covering the whole area

The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass low and you can see cattle and sheep

Chi Le Chuan, at the foot of Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome covering the whole area

The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass low and you can see cattle and sheep

Li Yi injected spiritual power into the song and used the Lion's Roar to spread the sound, not to hurt people, but to shock the souls of those around him. This was not a difficult task for Li Yi. Not only people, but also cattle and sheep stopped eating grass when the caravan passed by, but looked up at Li Yi. This made him feel like playing the lute to cows. After the song was over, before everyone had time to admire it, the cattle and sheep on both sides raised their heads and cried loudly, which surprised everyone.

Li Yi suddenly felt that something in the distant mountains was calling him. He pointed to the north and asked, "Is that mountain over there the Yin Mountain?"

Dugu Yu nodded and said, "That's right. The grassland nourished by the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain and several large rivers is Chi Lechuan. It was originally the fief of the Chi Le tribe. After the fall of the Dai Kingdom, the Xianbei tribes jointly reestablished the Wei Kingdom there. The Chi Le tribe took the initiative to give up the most fertile grassland. In order to remember the selflessness of the Chi Le tribe, the Xianbei tribes named it Chi Lechuan."

Li Yi muttered, "Great mountains and rivers, great! They are all gifts from God. Yinshan Mountain was originally a natural barrier to block the Xiongnu. Now we occupy Yinshan Mountain and attack the Xiongnu in the north. This is our military horse farm. I heard that more than half of the military horses are produced here."

"Yes, there are still 50,000 war horses in the military horse farm of Chi Le Chuan."

"Oh? So many? I wonder who is the Horse Keeper of the Great Wei?"

"Bima Wen?"

"It's the head of the horse breeder."

"Oh, you mean the Minister of Imperial Assignment? Xiuyuan, don't underestimate this position, it's of the third rank! It ranks high in the northern border. Not only does he have to manage tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, he also has 50,000 people under his command! The current person who holds this position is Erzhu Hui, who is also the General of Pingbei. In terms of combat power, he is second only to my elder brother in the Zhenbei Army."

"Who? Erzhu Hui!" Yuehua suddenly exclaimed, "Erzhu Jian's son?"

Dugu Yu was surprised and asked, "Oh, Sister Yuehua knows Erzhu Hui?"

Yuehua's eyes were filled with anger. Just as she was about to speak, Li Yi stretched out his hand to stop her. He interrupted and asked, "Has this General Erzhu ever led troops in the Northwest Grassland before?"

Dugu Yu nodded and said, "That's right. He swept through the Qiang and Di tribes in the northwest with his own army and made outstanding military achievements. My father specially transferred him back to Shengle and recommended him for merit. His Majesty then appointed him as the General of Pingbei and made him the Minister of Imperial Decree."

Li Yi forcibly pressed Yuehua down and said with a smile: "Do you still remember the song "When"? "

Shiyu understood instantly and looked at Bailing, who smiled and said, "Of course I remember. Why? My husband wants to take us to ride horses and enjoy the prosperity of the world?"

"We are here to ride horses. Yuehua, have you adapted to life on horseback these days? How about competing with me in horseback riding?"

Without waiting for Yuehua to agree, her horse rushed out on its own. Li Yi smiled and said, "Look, the girl is getting anxious. She wants to beat me and negotiate terms with me! But I can't do as she wishes. You guys follow slowly. We'll see you at the horse farm!" After that, he rode his horse and chased after her.

When the two of them were far away from the convoy, Yuehua's horse slowed down. Li Yi rode side by side with her and asked, "Was your family killed by Erzhu Hui?"

"What do you think? How else can I remember his name?"

"If I help you beat him up, will you calm down?"

"No! He slaughtered my entire clan. Even if you kill him, I won't be able to calm down!"

"If I slaughter his entire clan, will you be able to calm down?"

Yuehua looked at Li Yi and said sternly: "If you can kill his entire clan, I will do anything you ask me to do!"

"Is it okay for you to be a Wei person?"

"Okay! I'm willing to be your slave, not to mention being a Wei citizen."

"Okay! It's settled then. From today on, you must control your emotions and don't show your hatred in front of others. I will help you avenge your hatred!"

"Are you really going to kill him?"

"I was just wondering who to kill. Since you have a grudge against him, and he is a person with extremely high combat power and prestige in the Zhenbei Army, killing him will just shock the soldiers and civilians of the six towns! Then divide his people among the various tribes to appease them. It will kill two birds with one stone. Why not do it?"

"He is an important figure in the Zhenbei Army. Aren't you afraid that they will retaliate against you?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Then kill him with a reason they can't retaliate against."

"Okay! As long as you can help me get revenge, I'll do anything for you."

Li Yi and Yuehua arrived at the horse farm first. He did not wait for Dugu Yu and the others, and walked in with Yuehua. This was a military horse farm, so outsiders were not allowed to enter and leave at will. The soldiers guarding the camp immediately stepped forward to stop them, and they scolded the two in Xianbei language.

Li Yi naturally didn't understand, so he bowed and said, "I am Li Yi, Li Xiuyuan, the director of the Ministry of Rites and Music. Your Majesty has been so kind to me, allowing me to bring my family to visit the grasslands of the northern border. This is my sister, and we are here to borrow a warhorse."

The Xianbei soldiers at the door could not understand Li Yi's words either. Since they could not communicate in the same language, they had to gesture with their hands. The faster they gestured, the more anxious they became, and the more anxious they became, the more irritated they became. As a result, these soldiers drew out their knives, trying to scare the two men away.

Li Yi was not a graduate of Xiamen University, so he didn't fall for it. He stepped forward and shouted, "What are you doing? Are you going to fight me? While I'm still in a good mood, you'd better put the knife back. If you scare my sister, you will be in big trouble!"

When Yuehua saw the soldier draw his sword, the scene of her parents being killed in her childhood flashed before her eyes. She only felt hatred in her heart, not fear, and raised her horse whip to whip him. When the soldier saw Yuehua taking action, he raised his sword and started to chop. At this moment, Yuehua's whip took her back several steps, and the soldier's sword was pressed back into the scabbard by an inexplicable force. It was Tuoba Ziyi and Nangong Xue!

Tuoba Ziyiren did not dismount, pointing the whip at the guards, and scolding the soldiers in fluent Xianbei language, roughly meaning, "Are you blind? This is the Yuefu Order of our Great Wei! Do you dare to take action in front of him? Do you think your life is too long?"

The soldiers didn't recognize her, so they immediately shouted, "Who do you think you are? Don't yell in front of us! Who do you think you are?"

Tuoba Ziyi raised her hand and whipped the soldier who cursed hard on the face. Seeing this, all the soldiers drew their swords and slashed at Ziyi. The latter swung his hand and knocked them to the ground, and taught them a lesson in Xianbei language: "How dare you fight me? Call Erzhu Hui out to me. I want to ask him how he leads his soldiers!"

After a long commotion, the generals and Dugu Long from the horse farm finally arrived. These people did not recognize Tuoba Ziyi or Li Yi, but they all knew their young prince Dugu Long. Everyone saluted, and all of them used the Xianbei etiquette.

Zi Yi angrily said, "Dugu Long! Is this Zhenbei Army your Dugu family's private army, or our Great Wei's soldiers? They only recognize people from your Zhenbei Palace, not even this princess!"

Nangong Xue said coldly: "This is not their fault. The princess has lived in the palace for a long time. Who can recognize her? Even most of the people in Shangjing have never seen the princess. Even many guards in the capital don't recognize her. Is this also wrong?"

Ziyi glared at Nangongxue and was about to lose her temper, but Li Yi suddenly walked between them. Ziyi stopped talking and just looked at Duguyu. Duguyu greeted the soldiers and officers in Xianbei language, and the curses were so ugly. When the soldiers saw the young prince getting angry, they immediately knelt down and saluted, admitting their mistakes to Tuoba Ziyi.

"It seems that you know etiquette, but you just deliberately break it. Brother Yu, you will be punished!" Li Yi teased.

When Dugu Yu was in a dilemma, he heard a voice saying "Wait a minute!" and Erzhu Hui, dressed in military uniform, came towards him.

Yuehua recognized him at a glance and wanted to bite him to death! Li Yi immediately stood in front of Yuehua and held her hand tightly. Shiyu and Bailing saw this and immediately came over to help Li Yi control Yuehua. Han Feng was tall and strong and stood in front of Yuehua.

Li Yi let go of Yuehua and walked to Ziyi's horse, pretending to help the princess get off the horse. The latter pushed his hand away and said coldly: "I can get off the horse by myself, I don't need you to be so kind!"

Erzhu Hui saluted Dugu Yu first, then saluted Tuoba Ziyi, then looked at Li Yi and said: "This matter was caused by Li Yuefu's Ling Xin trespassing in the horse farm. If anyone is to be punished, it shouldn't be my people! Li Yi should be punished!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Well, that makes sense. Then may I ask how General Erzhu plans to punish me?"

Erzhu Hui said contemptuously: "In theory, trespassing into the horse farm is a capital crime, and you must be killed without mercy! However, since Li Yuefu came to the northern border to play on the orders of His Majesty, if he can show a warrant or an imperial decree, then it's fine, but if not..."

"What a coincidence! I just brought my family to the grassland to ride horses. That's what I told Your Majesty. Your Majesty didn't give any warrant or order. I wonder how General Erzhu plans to deal with Li?"

Erzhu Hui looked at Li Yi and smiled, "I heard that you, Li Yuefu, defeated Zhai Baishan, who was invincible in the northwest grasslands. When I swept through the various tribes in the northwest, there was no such person. I don't know if his invincible opponent is really invincible.

Later, I heard that Li Yuefu became the second of the three cultivators and joined forces with Liu Hong of Nanliang to kill the demon monk with extraordinary strength. As a warrior, I will not miss this opportunity to fight with a master! So as long as Li Yuefu fights with me, then this matter will be settled. "
