Xue Poye went to Kyoto to ask for instructions for donating money, and it still took time to go back and forth. It happened to be the honeymoon stage of the wedding. Xue Poye took Xiao Suzhen and Xiao Yuezhu to the mountains and rivers every day, and went boating.
West Lake, when I got interested, I recited poems and lyrics with Xiao Suzhen. It was so pleasant. At night, lingering in Xiao Suzhen's snow-white and plump body, or on Yue Zhu's shy and exquisite body, it was like even the gods couldn't compare.
It's a joy, but it's a pity that I can't let my two daughters accompany me to have a king and two queens.
With nothing to do, Xue Poye even asked Xiao Yuezhu to temporarily put down the accounts at hand, and took the two girls to the horse farm to teach them equestrian skills. The two girls were scared and curious, but fortunately there was a professional horse trainer.
They protected them and chose horses with a docile temperament. Then the two girls practiced equestrian skills cautiously, and lived at ease every day.
After Xue Poye's long absence, he rode his golden lion again. He felt like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time. He was extremely friendly and galloped around the racecourse like lightning, giving him a majestic and domineering aura.
A few days later, it was New Year's Eve. Xue Poye thought that Xiao Moting was alone in the house, so he asked Xiao Suzhen to invite his father-in-law to his garden and summoned the little fairies, little stones, and Nan Huaiwu.
Lao Song's family and other people from Xue's company had a lively and joyful Spring Festival.
For the employees of Xue's company, Xue Poye told Nan Huai not to distribute the bonuses and to take the holidays when they should. In short, he wanted everyone to live a good year happily and jubilantly.
There are singing and dancing everywhere in Hangzhou, showing the prosperity that a peaceful world should have. After the New Year, relatives will come and go in an endless stream.
But in the jubilant atmosphere, the decree from Kyoto came to Hangzhou on the third day of the Lunar New Year. His Majesty the Emperor made it very clear in the decree. He first praised Xue Poye for his pragmatic spirit, and then ordered Xue Poye to withdraw the donated silver.
Half of it was used to purchase grain and grass, and the other half was used as military pay. He was personally escorted to Yanmen Pass and handed over to the officers guarding the pass.
As soon as the decree arrived, Xue Poye knew that his free days had come to an end. Without any delay, he immediately summoned He Ruhui and ordered him to withdraw half of the donated silver and purchase grain and grass in the Jiangnan area within a ten-day deadline.
Complete without any errors.
He Ruhui has determined that Xue Poye is the backer of his future future. How dare he neglect it? He gathered people and started purchasing. He knew in his heart that Xue Poye was a man who was smarter than a monkey. Down below, he should act honestly and not play tricks.
, so I didn’t dare to be greedy and donate money. Every penny was spent on food and grass.
From Hangzhou to Yanmen Pass, the road is long and the mountains are poor and the rivers are dangerous. If a mistake were made and the army's food, fodder and pay were robbed, it would be a disaster. Therefore, Xue Poye not only went to Hangzhou to camp in person and mobilized 200 elite soldiers, but also hired
The purpose of the capable escorts from several famous escort agencies in the south of the Yangtze River is to escort these things to the border safely.
He Ruhui specially set up a warehouse, and cars were parked here one by one. As the purchase went smoothly, each car gradually became full, loaded with grain and grass, and wrapped in linoleum bags to avoid getting caught in the rain.
Millions of taels of food and grass were not enough in Hangzhou, so they went to Yangzhou and Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River to get hundreds of taels of carts. In addition to the guards, the number of drivers and laborers was also large. The total team numbered about five or six hundred
people.
For these hundreds of people, food and drink along the way was a big problem. Xue Poye asked He Ruhui to prepare sufficient dry food and drinking water. In order to please Xue Poye, He Ruhui offered to escort the food and grass to Yanmen Pass with Xue Poye.
Xue Poye declined politely.
Although He Ruhui is not a very good person, he is still the boss of Hangzhou. This position is important, but he cannot leave it.
However, He Ruhui didn't go, but there was another group of people who had to go. When the two new ladies heard that Xue Poye was going to take risks to deliver food to Yanmen Pass, they immediately asked to go with him. When the little fairy learned the news, he was unwilling to do so.
Being behind the times, Xue Poye refused firmly if he insisted on going to Yanmen Pass.
Although it would be much more interesting if you had a wife and little fairies accompanying you along the way, the roads are so remote that if something happens and you can't take care of the women, you will regret it. What's more, this is a business trip.
If you want a group of women to follow you, you will be gossiped about, and it will be difficult to lead a team at that time.
The female family members had no choice but to give in. They warned and cared a lot, but the two guys, Xiao Shitou and You Shaoqing, insisted on following.
Of course, Xiao Shitou was because he couldn't live without his master, but You Shaoqing wanted to please this patron. After all, his future depended on Xue Poye, so he followed Xue Poye carefully and waited carefully. Maybe when the Master was happy, he would take him with him.
Kyoto, so he had a firm intention and claimed that he had a good understanding of the customs and customs along the way. In order for the Minister to arrive at Yanmen Pass smoothly, he was willing to work hard and die. Xue Poye had no choice but to agree to these two guys to follow him.
, in addition to the more than 20 Yulin Guards who came with them, they also took them with them this time to take precautions.
Deep down in Xue Poye's heart, he really hoped that the Green Lady could follow him. After all, the Green Lady was very clear about the affairs of the world and the tricks of the underworld. With her by his side, he would be less worried.
Furthermore, it is extremely satisfying to have her beautiful face and sexy figure following you around you every day, and you can get addicted to occupying your hands when you are bored.
However, although Pan Silang and Yu Linwei searched everywhere and even stayed at Pinxiang Pavilion, there was no news about the Green Lady. Even the mysterious Eight Path warrior Chen Fu seemed to be dying.
This made Xue Poye feel regretful, but also greatly worried.
After several more days of preparation, until the food and grass were completely ready, manpower was gathered to prepare for pulling out the next day.
On the night before leaving, I had to have sex with the two ladies. I enjoyed the wonderful blessings of being together. I even summoned Nan Huaiwu alone and told him some things.
…
…
From Hangzhou to Yanmen, go north through Yunzhou, to Shuozhou, and then you can reach the Yanmen Pass of the Great Chutian Pass. Naturally, there will be poor mountains and rivers, lush forests and swamps along the way. However, this is within the territory of the Great Chu Dynasty. Apart from some banditry, there are also
No big worries.
Even if there are bandits, most of them only hijack the finances of passing merchants. If you don't have the courage to deal with the imperial military rations, you won't dare to act rashly.
What's more, Xue Poye's convoy this time included hundreds of grain trucks, escorted by two hundred elite soldiers, more than 20 Yulin guards from the Royal Guards, and some bodyguards who were on the knife edge to make a living.
The division and the escort force are extremely powerful. In addition, in order to be foolproof, the convoy has prepared a lot of weapons. In the event of an accident, the truck drivers who transport the grain must also use weapons to protect the grain.
Xue Poye naturally rode his golden lion, and Xiao Shitou rode with him, but You Shaoqing could only walk with the convoy.
These days, Xiao Shitou and You Shaoqing have been getting along very harmoniously. You Shaoqing's mind is full of strange and weird stories, which makes Xiao Shitou obsessed with them, and he has a great impression of You Shaoqing.
Officials from Hangzhou only sent more than ten miles away. After Xue Poye's refusal, they returned to the city. He Ruhui even looked worried, and his eyes were red.
Xue Poye thought to himself: "Although He Ruhui's character is poor, he still has some discretion when it comes to inviting people to do things. If there is a chance, it would not be a bad idea to promote him a little. But promotion is promotion. I can't handle this kind of person."
I’m going to eat him to death.”
The carriages were rolling, and hundreds of large carriages, surrounded by hundreds of people, moved majestically toward the north.
Along the way, officials from various places along the way knew that the official escorting this time was the Minister of Household Affairs in Kyoto, and even more so the Viscount of Dachu. They all flattered them. From time to time, the convoy encountered officials at all levels who came to ask for instructions and greetings, and invited them enthusiastically.
As the motorcade stopped to rest, Xue Poye politely declined, considering that the journey was far away and could not be delayed.
After the officials behind understood this situation, they directly inquired about the route of the convoy, and then set up a banquet on the roadside to reward the convoy. Xue Poye had no choice but to allow everyone to rest and eat.
After more than ten days of this, we have entered the territory of Shuozhou.
Compared with the prosperous Jiangnan, Shuozhou is not the same. In the early years, Shuozhou was the place where the Beihu people invaded and looted. They burned, killed and looted. Even today, it looks extremely depressed and desolate.
Being accustomed to seeing the colorful Jiangnan and the majestic Kyoto, Xue Poye was really uncomfortable when he first entered Shuozhou. The feeling of desolation made Xue Poye feel sympathy in his bones.
The people here are plainly dressed and have skinny complexions. Compared with other state capitals, there are significantly more beggars here. If they hadn't seen the convoy guarded by officers and soldiers, those beggars might have come forward to beg for food.
"The meat of Zhumen's dogs stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road!" Xue Poye sat on the horse, pulling the reins, with a small stone in his arms, and sighed: "Little stone, there will always be such pitiful people in this world, they
It’s not necessarily that they are not hardworking or motivated, it’s just that sometimes, they have to live such an extremely unfair life.”
Xiao Shitou blinked and looked at the beggars in the distance. He saw that their eyes were fixed on the things in the car. Maybe it was their hungry intuition that made them judge that the car was filled with food. They were not interested in the vehicle that was filled with silver.
But he turned a blind eye. At this time, food was far more attractive than money.
It was just those in ragged clothes. When they saw the clothes and swords and guns of the officers and soldiers, their confused eyes showed fear, and they just squatted and watched from a distance.
"Master, why are they like this?" Xiao Shitou was puzzled: "Why is it not as good as Hangzhou here?"
Xue Poye rode a golden lion and moved forward slowly. Looking at the frightened and cowering eyes of passers-by, he felt a little sour in his heart. He said calmly: "War! There is a war here, so it is so depressed and desolate. In this world,
Nothing is more cruel than war." Imagine if there was no war between Dachu and Beihu, and the two sides were in harmony, and were as close as brothers, trading with each other, then Shuozhou would naturally not only not suffer from the war, but would become two countries because of the flow of trade.
If it is the advance station for international trade, then this place will definitely be extremely prosperous and the people's lives will definitely be very comfortable.
It's a pity that this is just an assumption. The war will not stop. At least for now, both sides are still filled with huge hatred. Isn't Beihu ready to make a move recently?
"Master, are you talking about the Beihu people?" Xiao Shitou showed resentment in his eyes, and his voice was a little cold: "It was the Beihu people who caused them to be like this."
Xue Poye felt a chill in his heart. From Xiao Shitou's tone, he could definitely hear the little guy's resentment towards Beihu. Such a child, who had never even seen a Beihu person, had such strong resentment towards Beihu.
Then the people of Da Chu were naturally full of great hostility towards Bei Hu.
It was many years ago that Beihu defeated Yanmen and burned, killed and looted in Dachu. Now both countries are at a moment of accumulating strength and maintaining superficial harmony, but each side hopes to wipe out the other.
, there has been no major war for so many years, and the mutual hostility between the two peoples has not weakened at all because of the passage of time.
"Xiao Shitou, do you hate the Beihu people?" Xue Poye asked softly: "You have never even met them, how can you be resentful?"
Xiao Shitou said seriously: "Although I have never seen it, I have heard it. The Beihu people are wild beasts. They have no affection and no sense of shame. They often bully our Da Chu people and have killed many of our Da Chu people before. Master,
Don't you think that the desolation of Shuozhou is related to the war that took place in Beihu? If all the people in Beihu died, then our life would be easier." He suddenly raised his fists and said firmly: "When I grow up,
When you get older, you must join the army and kill all the Beihu people, so that the world will be peaceful."
Xue Poye sighed and said with a wry smile: "What a childish talk." Knowing that the Dachu people had deep-rooted resentment towards the Beihu people, it wasn't just one or two sentences that could change his point of view. He just wanted to find some free time in the future and enlighten him.
Small stones.
All the way to the north, the road was calm and smooth. It seems that the team was strong and there were continuous guards at all levels of yamen along the way, so the thieves did not dare to make any plans.
That night we set up tents on the road to rest, and the guards patrolled in two groups. It was quiet all night. At dawn the next day, we set off to the north again.
As the New Year passed, the weather was already a lot warmer, but as we traveled northward, the temperature dropped again. Fortunately, we had made preparations in advance and everyone wore cotton-padded clothes, so they were protected from the cold.
On the wide official road in Shuozhou, the team moved forward in an orderly manner. Xue Poye already knew from his subordinates that according to the current speed, they would reach Yanmen Pass in three days.
This road leads directly to Yanmen. Except for the occasional scattered group of people, it is sparsely populated. There are small villages at intervals on both sides, which are dilapidated and barren.
While the convoy was moving, Xue Poye suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from behind. He knew that the sound of horse hooves was not the sound of the grain transport convoy. It was a little strange. He looked back and saw two fast horses galloping towards him not far behind.
However, the rider was wearing a fur coat and was very fast. He didn't care about the huge grain transport convoy and rode right next to the convoy.
"Who doesn't have fucking eyes...!"
"Fuck, these two guys are crazy...!"
"...Oh, my God...fuck, you bumped into me...!"
The two horses were galloping and almost hit the people in the convoy. Xue Poye was even more surprised. Ordinary people would have no time to hide when they saw an official convoy. But these two guys were lucky enough to rush in without a trace.
It's really audacious to not take it into consideration at all.
The two horses, one black and one gray, are both strong and good horses. Xue Poye looked at these two horses and they looked very much like Beihu horses. Could it be that the passengers on the horses were from Beihu? It was just that these two people
The fur coat obviously belongs to Da Chu, and it is very finely made.
The two horses gradually slowed down. Xue Poye looked at the black horse riding in front of him. He saw that the horse was tall, wearing a hat on his head, and his face was quite beautiful. Looking down, he almost laughed.
Although this woman is dressed as a man, she is obviously a woman. There is a tight-fitting jacket under the fur coat. Perhaps she forgot to corset her chest, or perhaps the woman's breasts are too plump and straight, and they are actually towering into a ball, like
Like the mountains.
"It turns out they are two frizzy little girls." Xue Poye touched his nose and smiled. Seeing that the woman in front of him was tall and plump, and although her face was beautiful, her skin was an extremely healthy bronze color.
She is a Beihu woman.
Since Xue Poye could see it, those bodyguards who often walked in the rivers and lakes would naturally also see it.
"Oh, it turns out you are a female, and you are so arrogant, why are you pretending to be a man? Haha..., your big breasts and big ass have betrayed you, come on, come down and walk and talk with me."
"Haha... It's true that she is a woman. What she said is really good. Her breasts are really big enough for me to grab a handful of. Oops, I'm afraid I can't hold them with both hands."
"Hey, look, this woman seems to be from Beihu?"
"Yes, yes, those are the girls from Beihu. I heard that the girls from Beihu have big butts. When I saw them today, they are indeed well-deserved. I really want to touch them. They must be really slippery."
"That's not necessarily true. The skin of Beihu ladies is not as smooth as my Dachu woman's, but their sexiness is much greater. Beihu's ladies are all bitches. Even ten men can't stand it when they get horny. Hehe...
...Little girls, come on, come on, show me your show for grandpa...!"
This group of escorts were usually very open-minded, and the topic of this woman was even more talked about. Now when they saw a beautiful Beihu woman, they couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"Who are you calling a bitch?" The black horse rider's voice was bright, delicate but full of energy. He frowned and looked at the purple-shirted escort fiercely.
How could the purple-robed bodyguard be afraid of a woman? He chuckled and said, "Why are you so fierce? I scolded you little bitch. How about you come and be a little bitch for me? I will love you very much."
The rider of the black horse was so angry that he whipped out his whip and aimed it at the purple-shirted bodyguard. He was so fast that the purple-shirted bodyguard was completely unprepared. Even though he reacted quickly and dodged, he was still hit.
The whip hit his shoulder, the clothes torn apart, and hair flakes flew everywhere. The purple-shirted bodyguard screamed in agony. Someone nearby saw that the whip broke the cotton-padded clothes and hit the flesh. The purple-shirted bodyguard's shoulder was already torn to pieces.
"Sumayu, don't...!" The rider on the gray horse behind him tried to stop him, but it was too late.
Sumayu, the rider of the black horse, obviously had no intention of giving up. He drew out his whip, and another whip followed. However, he saw a ray of light pass by, and the whip was actually drawn on a wrought copper rod, but it was a wrought copper user.
Stick's bodyguard intervened to stop him.
"What a fierce Beihu woman, do you want to die?" the escort said coldly: "We will not show mercy to you."
The purple-shirted bodyguard gritted his teeth and cursed: "You bitch, you dare to sneak attack me. When I capture you, I will make you unable to survive or die!" Enduring the pain in his shoulder, he pulled out his sword and was about to take action.
.
Xue Poye shouted: "Stop!"
When the purple-shirted bodyguard saw that it was Xue Poye who was speaking, he did not dare to disobey and glared at Sumayu fiercely, wishing to tear her into pieces.
Xue Poye rode his horse closer, looked at Sumayu, and said calmly: "Who are you? You dare to hurt my guard. Do you know what crime you have committed?"
Seeing Xue Poye coming over, Sumayu was startled for a moment, and then immediately saw the golden lion under Xue Poye's seat. He raised his brows, pointed at the golden lion, and asked directly: "Is this your horse?"
Xue Poye was stunned, frowned, and said: "Of course it's mine."
Sumayu smiled and said: "So you are that Xue Poye, hehe, you are not so bad!" The Beihu woman did not smile and cover her teeth like the women from the Central Plains. She slightly showed her white teeth, looking very cheerful and straightforward.
Xue Poye was startled and asked curiously: "Do you know me?"
Sumayu looked at Xue Poye, then turned around and said: "China Tai, let's go." He spurred on his horse and left without saying any more. Chi Na Tai followed closely behind him. All of a sudden, the convoy
Everyone was dumbfounded. They really didn't expect this Beihu woman to be so unscrupulous. She left as soon as she said it in front of the minister, without saving any face.
Sumayu led Chinatai and urged the horse to leave, and many Yulin bodyguards went up to surround them, but Xue Poye said calmly: "Forget it, let them go, they are just two women who don't know the heights of the world.
"
He sat on the horse and looked at Sumayu's retreating figure quietly, in a daze.dd
