The thorns disappeared, and disappeared before entering the Xiangu ditch. No one knew where he went, and no one knew what he was doing. Only Ying Guangji asked twice, and Su Ren just shook his head in silence, and no one cared anymore.
The whereabouts of thorns. The bandits in Taihang Mountain seemed to have disappeared overnight. Except for the thirty or fifty people the first time, no one came out again. Just like thorns, they disappeared silently.
After walking for two days, we crossed the remaining mountains of the Taihang Mountains and entered the territory of Yanmen County. Among the 103 counties of the Han Dynasty, Yanmen County is not the northernmost county, nor the southernmost county. Just because of the existence of Yanmen Pass, this place became
It was a forward position to fight against the Xiongnu. The location of Yanmen Pass is very peculiar. To the east is the original Great Wall of Yan. It was repaired during the Qin Dynasty and connected with the Great Wall of Zhao to become the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles.
Yanmen Pass is located between the Great Wall of Yan and the Great Wall of Zhao. The east and west sides of this place protrude, forming a concave shape. Therefore, the Huns liked to attack Yanmen Pass the most. A large number of cavalry rushed outside Yanmen Pass and destroyed the Han's troops.
All the soldiers and horses were attracted here, and then they were divided to attack Dai County to the east, or to Gongbei District to the west. The three assistants threatened Chang'an. During the hundreds of years of harassment by the Huns, Yanmen Pass was a place they often visited.
Because of this, Yanmen County has many soldiers but few civilians. It is full of deserted farmland and homeless refugees. Sometimes when you meet those old people sitting in the dilapidated villages, you can't help but sigh.
Su Ren was not in the mood to feel emotional. He rode alone in the team with his head lowered and said nothing. The white horse probably recognized the road and walked very briskly. Su Ren sat on the horse and was bumping up and down without noticing it.
.
Ying Guangji shook his folding fan and admired the scenery around him. One sentence that day aroused Su Ren's painful feet, and he was glared at by Su Ren's murderous eyes. Ying Guangji felt a chill running down his spine. How many years have passed since he
He had never felt this way before, so why was he so afraid of a weak scholar? Ying Guangji was a little puzzled. He needed to think carefully about his plan. If he really offended Su Ren, he didn't know what the consequences would be.
Han Qing was anxious. He had never seen Su Ren in such a state. He put his legs under the horse's belly, came to Shi Bao, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, what's wrong?"
Shi Bao shook his head: "I don't know, I've never seen Mr. like this."
Han Qing frowned, thought for a while, then rode forward, caught up with Su Ren, and took a deep breath: "Sir, sir? Are you okay?"
Su Ren took a deep breath and said, "It's okay! I'm just thinking about one thing."
"What's the matter? Can you tell me, so that you and I can go over the details together?"
Glancing at Han Qing, Su Ren said: "Do you know who the BOC said he is?"
Han Qing thought for a moment and shook his head: "I've never heard of it."
Su Ren chuckled: "This man lives in Yan, and for some reason he became a chamberlain. Emperor Wen sent someone to ask for his hand in marriage to Shan Yu Xinli, the elder Shan Yu Xinli. Emperor Wen then offered her as his wife, a daughter of the clan, and asked the Bank of China to agree to go with him. The Bank of China said
Unwilling, and how could the court's decree be changed at will, he ordered him to go. When the Zhongxian said that the Xiongnu surrendered to the Xiongnu, he made suggestions for the old Shanyu. He deeply trusted him, and the military minister Shanyu became more favored after he succeeded to the throne. Over the years, all kinds of things happened to the Xiongnu.
The evil deeds were all planned by Zhongxing on behalf of the Huns."
"What?" Han Qing was shocked: "Is this person a marriage envoy?"
"He was before, and now he is our biggest enemy. If we don't get rid of him, the Han will never have peace!"
Han Qing's heart was churning up and down. He held it in for a long time and asked, "How did you know about this, sir?"
Su Ren glanced at Han Qing: "Do you think we have no one in the Xiongnu? I have been dealing with the Xiongnu affairs for many years, and I have been observing this Bank of China for a long time. This person is the one Mr. Ying said, and Liu Hong made friends with him.
Someone who can speak in front of Shanyu."
Han Qing took a breath: "Since this person is so dangerous, should we send Tiangang Disha to get rid of him?"
Su Ren shook his head: "Although this person is hateful, he is extremely smart. He always hides behind the scenes and never leaves the court of the Huns. Not to mention that we have no chance. Even if there are people sent, they will never come back. For
Such a eunuch is not worth risking one of our own lives."
"Then, is there no other way?"
Su Ren said nothing and took a deep breath.
Yanmen Pass is a majestic pass, hidden in the Yanmen Mountains. It is the first majestic pass of the Great Wall. Together with Ningwu Pass and Pianguan Pass, it is also known as the Three Outer Passes. There is a saying that Yanmen is the first of the nine fortresses in the world. However, many years of neglect have seen that
It doesn't look like Yanmen Pass. Only recently, because of the arrival of Li Guang and Cheng Bushi, has the rebuilding of Yanmen Pass been put on the agenda. The closer you are to Yanmen Pass, the more people are recruited from all over the country. Standing at the foot of Yanmen Mountain, you can see
The crowds of people working like ants on Yanmen Mountain.
Su Ren did not go to Yanmen Mountain, nor did he go to Yanmen County to govern. He only settled in Wuzhou, which is closest to Yanmen Pass. This is his destination. Wuzhou is a good place, backed by Taihang Mountain and facing Yanmen Pass.
To the east is Shanwu, and to the west is the only road to Jinyang. Using this as a base, he can contact people no matter where they come from. It is definitely a good place to do business.
Because of the construction of Yanmen Pass, Wuzhou City was almost entirely filled with civilians and soldiers. During the Han Dynasty, no money was paid for the recruitment of servants, and the food had to be provided by oneself. The only thing better than the Qin Dynasty was that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che kept his word and said that one year
It's just one year, half a year is half a year. As long as the chief takes his own people and leaves when the time comes, no one has the right to stop it, so the guards in Wuzhou also come and go.
Wuzhou is too small and remote, and there is no Cuixiang Tower, so Su Ren and his party just found an inn to stay. The name of the inn is Junyue, which should be the name of the innkeeper or the name of the innkeeper's son. The inn is not big and open.
In the back streets and alleys, there were few customers, so Su Ren only spent 80 yuan to rent a room for a month. This made the shopkeeper very happy. Although people from Wuzhou have been coming and going in the past six months, it is still difficult to live there.
There are not many shops, let alone in a remote place like his.
The shopkeeper’s surname is Zhang, so he’s called Zhang Junyue. He and his wife run the inn, and they have a son and a daughter, both 13 or 14 years old. They will come out to help when they are busy. Zhang Junyue’s son has a very domineering name, called
Zhang Han actually has the same name as the last famous general of the Qin Dynasty, King Yong, Zhang Han. The boy is also very energetic, although he is only fourteen years old, not to mention strong and good-looking. In future generations, he can definitely act in idol dramas.
Ying Guangji looked at Zhang Junyue and then at his son Zhang Han, and chuckled: "Sir, shopkeeper, you look so shabby, but this boy of yours looks so handsome, could it be that...?"
Zhang Junyue accompanied the smiling face and poured a glass of water for Ying Guangji: "The guest is joking. This boy follows his mother and is not afraid of the guest's jokes. His mother is the most beautiful woman in Wuzhou City."
"Oh? Then you need to experience it!"
Han Qing smiled and said, "I'm afraid only you, shopkeeper Zhang, think so, right?"
"Hahaha……"
Everyone laughed, and the shopkeeper also laughed together. While they were talking, the shopkeeper's wife came in with her daughter holding several plates. As Zhang Junyue said, his wife is indeed extraordinary. Although she is a little older,
You can still tell that she is a beauty, more mature than those outstanding-looking girls, and you will never forget her once you take a look at her.
Being stared at by a group of men, the woman's face did not turn red, and her heart did not beat. She smiled and placed the plate lightly on the table: "My dear guests, please take it easy, I will go get the wine later!"
Everyone kept watching the woman leave the house, and even looked sideways. Su Ren coughed, but the shopkeeper smiled and said: "I've made you laugh, please, if you have anything inappropriate, just say hello, I'm here."
Waiting outside."
When the shopkeeper walked out, Ying Guangji sighed: "I didn't expect such a beauty to exist in a place like this. It's a pity..."
Su Ren tapped the table twice with his chopsticks: "That's enough! You are already the leader of the church, what kind of woman have you never seen before, but..., hey, don't say you know me in the future."
"The ancients said that if you look at the beautiful scenery and eat it, you will feel full. However, if you eat this meal, it will be tasteless."
"Are you done yet? If you don't want to eat, get out of here!" Su Ren picked up the vegetables and ate them without paying attention to Ying Guangji, who had a look on his face.
As Ying Guangji said, the meal was indeed tasteless. As soon as the woman came in, a group of boys looked like wolves, eager to go up and do something. As soon as the woman left, there was another long cry.
Sigh. Loudly and without any scruples.
Su Ren slapped Hawking on the back of the head: "Eat your food well and wait until I get back to tell Erya!"
Hawking quickly smiled and said: "No, no, no, brother, you misunderstood. I never meant to look at her, I just felt strange."
"how to say?"
Hawking smiled again: "Don't you think it's strange that such a beautiful woman is working as a waiter in a store, but the business in this store is so deserted? Remember when Mr. Dong and Mrs. Zhuo opened a wine shop, as long as Mrs. Zhuo went to the store
If you stop here, you won't have to worry about no one coming! Speaking of which, this woman is no worse than Mrs. Zhuo!"
Han Qing took a breath, nodded slightly, and glanced at Hawking affirmatively: "Yes! I feel the same way. This is Wuzhou. Over the years, the Huns have repeatedly invaded. This Wuzhou is close to Yanmen Pass, and no one is immune.
It's true, it's really strange that such a beautiful woman has lived here for so many years."
Ying Guangji frowned: "You mean, there is something wrong with this inn?"
Han Qing shook his head and said: "Although we can't be sure, we can't rule it out either."
"How about we switch to another one?"
Su Ren just buried his head in eating and snorted coldly: "I just stayed here. The store didn't cheat us, and it didn't harm us. Just because of a beautiful woman, you people are panicked. You are not afraid of others if you tell me."
What a joke! Okay, shut up and eat, take a rest after eating, we still have a lot of things to do!"
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and everyone looked at Su Ren. Now they even lost their appetite. (To be continued)
