When Zhao Hongrun said these words, he did not expect that after only taking the boat for half a day, they had to get off the boat and take route 6 instead.?
The reason is simple, Oona is seasick.
This sheng girl who had lived on the grassland since childhood turned a little pale after she stepped onto the imperial ship.
After that, as the caravan set off for Shangshui, the poor Sheng girl even vomited on the boat.
"It's okay, my Run, I can bear it... vomit..."
"..."
Looking at the pale Oona, Zhao Hongrun had no choice but to urgently order their ship to dock. He found a suitable place to disembark and the group got off the ship again.
There was no way, after all, Xiangfu County was at least four or five days' boat ride away from Shangshui County. If she didn't get off the boat, Oona might faint or even get seriously ill.
Zhao Hongrun doesn't want this.
Although taking Route 6 would have at least doubled the trip, Zhao Hongrun obviously couldn't bear to see his woman suffer.
However, since they were taking the 6th route, the number of their group seemed too arrogant. Therefore, Zhao Hongrun asked the guard chief Cen Chang to take the hundred Suwang guards to continue taking the boat and head to Shangshui County one step ahead.
, took the clan guards and the girls and slowly headed to Shangshui.
Anyway, this time, he had nothing to worry about.
After Zhao Hongrun and his party got off the ship, the ship, carrying the Su Wang guards, slowly set off again to catch up with the slowed down fleet ahead.
As for Zhao Hongrun, he carried the weak Oona into the carriage.
Looking at Oona, who had always been lively and cheerful, with pale eyes and blue lips, Zhao Hongrun secretly blamed himself for not considering this.
Although Oona's riding skills are quite superb, she has been familiar with the bumps on the horse's back since she was a child. But in fact, the bumps on the horse's back are fundamentally different from the bumps on the boat.
As the saying goes, a boat in the south is like a horse in the north. Standing on a boat in the face of rough waves feels like standing on flat ground for people in the south. However, people in the north can not only eat, drink and have sex on horseback, but also travel hundreds of miles a day.
Can you ask them to try changing it?
One is guaranteed to have acid reflux on the ship and vomit to the point of death, while the other will not be able to straighten up on the second day after traveling hundreds of miles a day, and will only feel dizzy and have pain in all the bones in his body.
"Run, I'm sorry. If I had known better, I would have stayed in Daliang..."
Because of her relationship, the group had to change route 6. Oona, who was lying in the carriage to rest, felt very guilty.
Zhao Hongrun didn't care about this. He touched Oona's forehead where the cold sweat had receded, and comforted her: "It's okay. Anyway, I don't have anything important to do when I go to Shangshui this time. I just go to relax... I'm sorry.
If you live there, then I have to say to you, I'm sorry, Oona, I didn't consider that you have never been on a boat."
In the carriage, Miss Su's maid Lu'er saw Zhao Hongrun treating Oona so tenderly, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty for her own lady. On the contrary, Miss Su seemed quite generous, twisting a towel in a basin aside,
Apply on Oona's forehead.
Maybe she sympathized with Oona. After all, Oona had no relatives or friends in Wei State, and the only person she could rely on was Zhao Hongrun. She was very much like her when she was lonely and helpless. Therefore, Miss Su would not be jealous of Oona.
What's more, Oona seemed to be the kind of straightforward, cheerful and careless person at first glance. Miss Su felt that it would be too pathetic for her to be jealous of such a woman.
But to be honest, Miss Su has no hostility towards any of them, whether it is Oona or Yang Yan Xing, only Mi Jiang.
She and Mi Jiang seemed to be incompatible with each other, and nothing good happened when they stayed together.
But in the final analysis, what Ms. Su cares about most is probably the fact that Zhao Hongrun called Mi Jiang's name after having sex with her. This was like a poisonous thorn that pierced her heart.
After a while, the dizzy Oona finally fell asleep.
Seeing this, Miss Su asked Zhao Hongrun in a low voice: "Run Lang, you are going to Shangshui this time. Don't you have time to take up your post?"
Zhao Hongrun smiled when he heard this and said, "What you heard is just the news released by the imperial court."
Indeed, Zhao Hongrun was actually forced out by the rumor this time, because he was unwilling to hand over his rights and did not trust others to take care of his hard work. Therefore, he was unable to refute the rumor and could only
You can get rid of rumors by staying away from Daliang temporarily.
But having said that, this matter can't be put on the table. King Su went to business to avoid rumors. Is it ridiculous?
Therefore, the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court gave Zhao Hongrun a convenience and asked Zhao Hongrun to serve as the ceremonial officer to mediate the relationship between the people of Anling and Zhaoling and Yanling and Shangshui.
This is currently the biggest headache for the Ministry of Rites. After all, the residents of Anling and Zhaoling are Wei people, and they were victims of the Chu-Wei War two years ago. However, the people living in Yanling and Shangshui are Chu people who defected to Wei.
Of course, the latter are now accepted by the imperial court as Wei people, but the will of the imperial court cannot really affect the people after all.
No, even though it has been more than a year since the war ended, the hatred of the Chu people in Anling, Zhaoling and other places still persists, and the Yanling people and the Shangshui people gradually began to resist because of the former's hostility.
.
Especially in Anling and Yanling, the residents of these two counties sometimes have conflicts over trivial matters.
For example, just two months ago, several Yanling people were hunting in the nearby hills, hoping to catch some game, and they happened to bump into a group of Anling people.
Originally, there were many hills near Yanling and Anling, so everyone just went their own way.
However, those Anling people said that these hills belonged to Anling and told those Yanling people to get lost.
And those Yanling people did not show any weakness, saying that these hills were relatively close to Yanling and should be called Yanqiu, and told those Anling people to get lost.
As a result, there was a disagreement, and the two sides started fighting on the mountain, and both sides were beaten with bruises and bruises.
Not to mention this, both parties felt that they had suffered a loss, so they made a date to compete, and both went back to the county to call for help.
Anling is a large county. After absorbing the Wei people from Yanling, Linying, Xihua and other places, the county's population now exceeds 100,000. However, Yanling, as a result, more than 400,000 defected to the Wei state.
It is one of the three cities and counties inhabited by the Chu people. It is not inferior to Anling in terms of population.
The men from these two major counties all rolled up their sleeves and went to the agreed place to fight. The scene was so spectacular that it was no less spectacular than the scene when Zhao Hongrun fought in Sanchuan.
Fortunately, the county magistrates in Anling and Yanling knew what was right. The former sent county troops, and the latter invited the remaining 10,000 Shangshui troops stationed in Shangshui because of the original transfer of the Yanling army to Dangshan.
A large group of people were arrested, and the farce was finally suppressed.
But suppression is suppression, and the relationship between the two parties is still full of hostility: as long as they don't bump into each other on the road, the two sides will not interfere with each other, and they will never interact with each other until death; but if they bump into each other on the way, even a chicken feather may cause both sides to have conflicts.
The verbal disputes eventually escalated into fights and fights.
This time Zhao Hongrun went south to Shangshui, the most important thing was to deal with the hostile relationship between the two major counties of Anling and Yanling.
There is no way, compared to the two large counties of Zhaoling, Shangshui, Anling and Yanling, they are too close to each other. Citizens of the two counties may run into each other whether they go to the mountains to hunt, or go to rivers and lakes to collect water or wash clothes.
And once it comes across, it means that it is likely to cause another farce.
"Did the strategy originally formulated by the imperial court not work?"
After listening to Zhao Hongrun's explanation, Miss Su was very puzzled.
Zhao Hongrun thought for a while and asked: "Are you referring to the intermarriage between men and women in Anling, Zhaoling, Yanling, Shangshui and other places?"
Miss Su blushed slightly, but still nodded.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said: "Although the Ministry of Rites has been advocating this matter,...it cannot be said that it has not been effective, but it has not reached the expected level."
Miss Su nodded and said as if she understood: "After all, both sides are large counties with hundreds of thousands of people..." After that, she turned to look at Zhao Hongrun and said with a smile: "However, the Nu family believes that this matter will not be a problem for Run."
Lang."
Zhao Hongrun laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said: "You think too highly of me, this matter... is not easy to handle. I think it is very likely that the rumor about Daliang has subsided, and I still can't reconcile the relationship between the two parties. After all, this has nothing to do with
War is different. When I fight, I face enemies. I don’t mind beating them with my fists until they surrender. But these people are my subjects of Wei Dynasty, so it’s difficult to handle..."
After chatting with Miss Su for a few more words, Zhao Hongrun asked her to look after Oona along with Yang Shixing and maid Lu'er, while he got off the carriage and rode on the horse again.
It was not to appreciate the scenery along the way, he just wanted to take a closer look at various situations along the way. After all, he stayed in Daliang most of the time and rarely had the opportunity to inspect local cities and counties, such as road conditions, water conservancy, farmland facilities, etc.
.
That night, Zhao Hongrun and his party slept in the wilderness and ate some dry food.
After all, because of Oona's relationship, they found a random place to disembark on the way. Therefore, they still haven't figured out where they are, and naturally there is no way to tell what county they can find.
However, in the morning of the next day, Zhao Hongrun and his party were lucky enough to find a village.
After spending some copper coins, Zhao Hongrun and others finally took a sip of hot soup, but more importantly, they found out the location from the local villagers.
Only then did they realize that they were currently located in the southeast of Qifeng County. A day or two further southeast would be Yu County, and a day or two further southwest would be Anling.
Once you find the direction, it's easy to handle.
"Sir, do you want to go directly to Anling?"
When leaving the village, Zongwei Chief Shen Yu asked.
Zhao Hongrun thought deeply for a moment, shook his head and said: "Go to Yuxian County, then transfer to Yangxia and reach Shangshui."
Shen Yu glanced at Zhao Hongrun with some surprise, clasped his fists and accepted the order.
He didn't know the reason why Zhao Hongrun didn't want to go to Anling first.
Because Anling is home to a branch of the Zhao family with the surname Ji, and it is none other than the branch of the original Zongfu patriarch, Zhao Hongrun and his third uncle Zhao Laiyu.
Counting the days, Zhao Laiyu should have returned to Anling and defected to his children, grandchildren, uncles and nephews.
Even Zhao Hongrun did not dare to go directly to Anling with such a small number of people. After all, he also knew that he had offended the third uncle Zhao Laiyu seriously.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun decided to go to Shangshui first, because that was his territory. (To be continued.) 8
