Kyoto is surrounded by prosperous villages and towns, and the envoy team was received by local officials wherever they went. They feasted on meat and fish for more than ten days in a row. It was almost the same as going to the countryside for an inspection. However, once they entered the mountainous area, things changed immediately. The quality of life deteriorated.
It plummeted, and the cannons fired all over the mountains and plains couldn't hit anyone.
"Don't camp by the water. Dig drainage ditches around the tents. It may rain tonight..."
Zhao Guanren inspected the valley camp with his hands behind his back. The camp faced the stream on one side and the vast mountains on the other. The caravans and logistics were unloading loose mules and horses. The dragoons had already set up camp at the mountain pass, and all the open and hidden sentries were sent out.
.
"All households of more than a hundred households must gather together!"
Zhao Guanren walked into the dragoon camp and summoned the generals for a brief meeting. It was already dark by this time, so he took the oil lamp and walked to the mountain pass. He saw only a few civilian teams hiding in the leeward, in small and small groups.
Eat dry food over the fire.
"Where are you guys going..."
Zhao Guanren walked over with a few guards. These people had been following them. With the officers and soldiers clearing the way, you don't have to worry about bandits and bandits. You don't have to worry about trampling wolves, tigers and leopards. But today there is another small team, more than ten people.
The men were driving two mule carts.
"I've met several officials..."
More than a dozen people stood up and saluted quickly. Zhao Guanren did not wait for them to speak. He stepped forward and opened the curtain of a mule cart with his saber. He heard a cry of surprise from inside, and a big girl quickly hugged the half-grown boy.
, looking at him fearfully.
"Are you mother and son or siblings? Where are you going..."
Zhao Guanren raised the oil lamp to light it, but the eldest girl hid behind the boy. The naughty boy in his teens opened his arms and said warily: "Uncle Jun! This is my wife. I went to Shahuzhou Province to kiss the eldest brother."
Year, now I am going back to my hometown in Yuzhou!"
"Are you thirteen? Can you carry your wife's thighs..."
Zhao Guanren looked at him with a smile, and the childish boy said arrogantly: "Don't look down on people, you are a fourteen-year-old man. Wife, please tell him, young master, am I strong enough? Can I let you have a baby?"
"Yes! Husband, you are amazing..."
The eldest girl shrank timidly behind him. Unexpectedly, a beautiful woman got out of the car behind her. She came over with her maid and handed over two slings of money. She said with a smile: "You military masters, you are lucky. These are my son and daughter-in-law. What are you doing?"
I hope you military masters will take good care of me!"
"Oh~ eldest sister has a pretty face. You don't see that often in the wilderness..."
Zhao Guanren used the handle of the knife to block the beautiful woman's money. The beautiful woman looked to be in her early thirties. She was dressed in a simple black cloth. She had a curvy front and back, thin skin and tender flesh. Her temperament and appearance were both excellent. At first glance,
She is the wife of a wealthy family.
"Haha~ Mr. Xie Jun praised me, this is the road guide for the slave family..."
The beautiful woman generously took out the document from her sleeve. Zhao Guanren shook it open and looked at it and said: "Diao Meifeng! It's well maintained. You have three children. Which street is the Bell and Drum Tower in Zhoucheng County?"
"
"Thank you so much, Master Jun, huh? The Bell and Drum Tower..."
Diao Meifeng was stunned for a moment, blinked and said in confusion: "The Nu family was born and raised in Zhoucheng County, but I have never heard of the Bell and Drum Tower, but there is a Yin-Yang Tower, just on Xifang Street, just past the Yin-Yang Tower.
It’s the county government!”
"Let's leave early, don't fall behind..."
Zhao Guanren handed her the document and left. Diao Meifeng thanked her repeatedly behind him, but after Zhao Guanren walked back to the camp, he called a cavalryman and asked: "I remember your hometown is Zhoucheng County, which street is the Yinyang Tower?"
superior?"
"Xifang Street! Not far from the county government office..."
The cavalryman answered respectfully with his fists clasped, and Zhao Guanren frowned at the guard and said, "Let the sentry keep an eye on Diao Meifeng. I can't tell what's wrong. Anyway, her eyes have a sense of vicissitudes of life, unlike a girl who comes from a small place!"
"yes!"
The guard clasped his fists and went to notify the sentry, and Zhao Guanren walked towards the envoy camp. The officials had changed into casual clothes after a rough day, and sat in twos and threes waiting for the meal. The princesses surrounded a small fenced courtyard alone, with two large leather hats in it.
account.
"These young ladies have to wait in a row to wash their butts.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
…”
Zhao Guanren shook his head angrily. There were more than a dozen eunuchs and maids lining up outside the tent, each holding special washing tools in their hands. Don't look at Yongning who looked carefree like a crazy girl. Among the three sisters, she was the most particular.
The water for washing feet must be soaked in flower petals.
"Little trumpet! Come here to eat game. I just shot two pheasants..."
Jia Bujie came hurriedly with a hunting bow on his back. Zhao Guanren waved his hand and said: "My stomach is too oily. Eat some vegetarian guasha oil. You can take it to the nurses and sisters to replenish it. They are all wasted when they see you now."
No!"
"Ha~ I, Jia Baoyu, Yushu Linfeng, am not a person who has gained a reputation in vain..."
Jia Bu pretended to be a coquettish guy and turned around. This great master who had been "trapped by love" all his life became extremely coquettish after he was relieved of his psychological burden. He wandered among women all day long, constantly polishing his veteran driver level, and determined to become a good driver.
A handsome but not obscene young man.
"You're done washing, I'm coming in..."
Zhao Guanren opened the leather tent and walked in. The tent was divided into an inner and an outer room by a screen. Princess Yongning walked out from behind the screen with her trousers in hand, waving her hand and saying, "You all go out. We'll have hot pot for dinner. Take a shower."
Okay, bring it in!"
“More vegetarian and less meaty!”
Zhao Guanren gave instructions and sat down at the table. Yongning lay on his back and said with a bad smile: "I'm going to take a shower. I'll drive the maid to the car to sleep later. You sneak in from behind, or you can drive her away."
, I’m going to get under your bed!”
"You are just like a female ghost, haunting you every night..."
Zhao Guanren took a cigarette out of his mouth angrily. Yongning picked up the oil lamp and lit it for him. Then he bit him on the neck and said with a evil smile: "I am the female ghost who wants your life. You can't leave until you feed me tonight."
, Save money on food and support your Aunt Luo!"
"Yong Ning! How old are you, why are you still fooling around with the emperor's uncle..."
The two princesses walked in hand in hand. Both sisters lived outside the palace. They really thought that Zhao Guanren was their imperial uncle, but Yongning hugged Zhao Guanren's neck again and said with a smile: "Look at how handsome our imperial uncle is.
Yeah, do you want a few kisses?"
"You are not young anymore, you should know something..."
The eldest sister Yongwei's face turned red. The younger Yongping didn't know anything about men and women, so he lay down on the table and talked about poetry with Zhao Guanren. Yongwei also regarded him as a great talent, and a series of classical Chinese poems made him confused.
Oh, I don’t understand it at all!
"You both are very talented, come on, come on! Hurry up and eat hot pot..."
Zhao Guanren quickly straightened up and changed the subject. Except for him, no one in the team was qualified to sit at the same table as the three princesses. For the convenience of flirting, Yongning kicked the maids out after serving the meal.
Only the four of them eat hot pot.
"Just one look at you, and I was determined to be forever. At that time, the carriages and horses were slow, and there was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime..."
Yongning sang love songs unscrupulously, and even put on embroidered shoes with his little feet. He stretched out from under the table to hook Zhao Guanren's legs, but Yongping wrinkled his nose and said: "Uncle Huang, you are so partial. You only teach my sister these nice songs.
You won’t teach us either!”
"Teach me! I'll give you a song for each of you later..."
Zhao Guanren stood up to pick up food for the three sisters. Yongning's feet had just moved away and then stretched back, teasing her on his calf. Zhao Guanren simply picked up her feet and put them on his legs. He was holding the hotpot with one hand and playing with hers with the other.
Little feet.
"Um?"
Zhao Guanren suddenly felt something was wrong as he touched it. When did Yongning put on his shoes? When he looked down in surprise, Yongning had already crossed his legs. The little toes on his legs were actually Yongwei's. Yongning beside him
Wei's face was already flushed.
'Nima! I touched the wrong person...'
Zhao Guanren let go of his hand with embarrassment on his face. Yongwei was so embarrassed that he almost bit his red lip. He lowered his head and kept picking up the rice without daring to look at him. But after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong. If it wasn't Yongwei's intention,
, why would you put your feet on his legs?
"You guys eat slowly, I'll go out to patrol the camp..."
Zhao Guanren ate some hastily and then got up and went out. He felt that Yong Wei might have seen through it, so he deliberately hinted at him under the table to ask his shameless uncle to restrain himself, but he caught him in the end.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
My feet turned into a big blush.
Many bonfires have been lit in the camp, and densely packed tents cover the entire valley. Those who don't have tents can use goods to surround them and set up a shed to sleep.
"Old Song! What are you doing..."
Zhao Guanren walked to the depths of the camp in confusion, only to see a few envoys squatting on the ground guessing. Song Chizhu came over and said with a smile: "Yan Laozhu doesn't want to gamble anymore, so let's coax him to change his concubine. He just bought it."
The thin horse from Yangcheng, whoever wins will trade with him!"
"Be low-key! There are all soldiers outside..."
Zhao Guanren shook his head angrily and walked away. The army was not allowed to gamble, drink, or bring women with them, but the envoys were all government officials, and changing concubines was considered a custom in Dashun. Besides, everyone had nothing to do except gamble.
Apart from drinking and bragging, I also have fun in different ways every day.
"Oh~ It's really boring, so damn..."
Zhao Guanren walked around in a circle and then walked back. Nothing serious would happen before he left the border, and bandits could not come to attack the camp. Moreover, it was only half past six, and the news network had not started broadcasting. There were already many people lying down.
Get ready for bed next time.
"Your Majesty!"
Qiu Ning suddenly chased after him from behind and whispered: "Lanshuihe Trading Company is missing four guys. They said they would go to the stream to fetch water before dark, but they haven't seen anyone yet, and the sentry didn't notice anyone leaving. You
Would you like to go over and take a look?"
"Let's go! Go and see..."
Zhao Guanren immediately took her to the rear, and soon came to the back of the valley. A small stream ran across the rear. Many people were shouting in the forest, and many dragoons were standing by the stream.
"Your Highness! People disappeared after crossing the stream, leaving no traces at all..."
A member of the household came up and said: "Unless they tread water and go all the way downstream, they may disappear out of thin air. But I just sent people to look at it. There is a shallow pool downstream, and there is nothing in it. And why should it be so good?"
Are you running?"
"Old Liu! Who is the missing person? Did he lose money or goods..."
Zhao Guanren called over a person in charge of the caravan, who shook his head anxiously and said: "Your Majesty! This is our old man. The gangster led by the eldest lady has walked this road dozens of times.
It’s impossible to leave the team without permission, someone will definitely harm you!”
"There's blood!"
Qiu Ning suddenly pointed at the stream and exclaimed. Zhao Guanren walked to the stream with a lantern and took a look. Sure enough, there were streaks of blood flowing down the stream. Upon closer inspection, there were also large broken hair strands. Hundreds of dragon riders immediately drew their swords and shouted
Said: "Shanwen Army, follow me!"
"Wait! Zhang Kui, don't move..."
Zhao Guanren looked at the mountains ahead, narrowed his eyes and said: "Send two teams of mountain pattern troops to search upstream. Be careful of trip wires and booby traps. If you encounter an enemy attack, immediately return to defense. No one can attack without my order."
, and at the same time strengthen the defense and patrol of the camp!"
"yes!"
Zhang Kui immediately took the order and left. The men who were looking for people on the mountain were also called back, but Qiu Ning asked in confusion: "My lord! Are you worried that someone will lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
"It's not obvious. Someone is coming for me..."
Zhao Guanren immediately turned back and ran to the mountain pass camp. When he came to the camp and looked at the civilian team outside, he suddenly said in shock: "Where are the people? Where is that Diao Meifeng? Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on him?"
"Your Highness! I have been watching..."
A guard hurriedly said: "The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came in to borrow water. Minister Qiu happened to come over for inspection, so he sent a few people to follow them. We went to the logistics area to have a cup of tea, and the youngest son is still outside!"
"Hurry up and arrest that kid. You've already got a cup of tea..."
Zhao Guanren immediately ran to the logistics camp. A cup of tea took fifteen minutes in Dashun's concept of time. Carrying two buckets of water would never take that long.
"Haha~ Your Majesty's reaction is so quick..."
A sinister laugh suddenly sounded from the side, and a sharp sword suddenly thrust out from the tent. The dark red mysterious energy was like a laser. When Zhao Guanren turned his head, it came to his eyes with a "swish".
