0528 Night Raid on the Camp
Kyoto is surrounded by rich towns and villages, and the envoys are received by local officials wherever they go, and for more than ten days in a row, there is almost no difference from going to the countryside to inspect, but as soon as they enter the mountainous area, they immediately change, and the quality of life plummets, and the guns all over the mountains and fields can not hit a single person.
"Don't camp near the water, dig a gutter around the tent, it may rain tonight......"
Zhao Guanren patrolled the camp in the valley with his hands behind his back, the camp was facing the stream on one side and the vast mountains on the other, the caravan and logistics were unloading loose mules and horses, the dragoons had already set up camp in the mountain pass, and the open and dark posts were all released.
"More than 100 households gather!"
Zhao Guanren walked into the dragoon camp and convened the generals for a brief meeting, at this time the sky was already dark, he took the oil lamp and walked to the mountain pass, only to see several civilian teams hiding in the leeward place, three or five groups of roasting fire to gnaw dry food.
"Where are you going......
Zhao Guanren walked over with a few guards, these people have been following them, there are officers and soldiers who open the road do not have to worry about bandits and road bandits, and there is no need to be afraid of stepping on wolves, tigers and leopards, but today there is a small team, more than a dozen people driving two mule carts.
"I've seen a few officials and uncles......"
More than a dozen people hurriedly got up and saluted, Zhao Guanren didn't wait for them to speak, stepped forward and opened the curtain of a mule cart with a saber, only to hear an exclamation from inside, and a big girl hurriedly hugged a half-grown boy and looked at him in fear.
"Are you a mother and son or a brother and sister, where are you going......"
Zhao Guanren raised the oil lamp and lit it, but the eldest girl hid behind the boy, and the teenage bear child opened his arms and said vigilantly: "Uncle Jun!
"Do you kid have thirteen, can you carry your daughter-in-law's thighs......
Zhao Guanren looked at him with a smile, and said angrily with a childish face: "Don't look down on people, fourteen-year-old old man, daughter-in-law, tell him, young master, I'm not very good, can I let you have a baby?"
"Yes, husband, husband is amazing......"
The eldest girl shrank timidly behind him, who knew that another beautiful woman came down from the car behind, led the maid over and handed over two pieces of money, and said with a smile: "You military masters are fortunate, this is my son and daughter-in-law, and I hope you military masters will take care of you!"
"Yo~ The eldest sister's face is very beautiful, and the wilderness is rare......"
Zhao Guanren used a knife to block the money of the beautiful woman, the beautiful woman looked like she was in her early thirties, dressed in a simple black cloth dress, with a long convex and backward curved, fine skin and tender meat, and her temperament and appearance were excellent, and she looked like the wife of a large family.
"Hehe~ Xie Junye praised, this is the slave family's road guide ......"
The beautiful woman generously took out the paperwork from her sleeve, Zhao Guanren shook it open and looked at it and said: "Diao Meifeng!
"Thank you, Master Jun, ah? Bell and Drum Tower......"
Diao Meifeng made him stunned, blinked and said in confusion: "The slave family was born and raised in Zhoucheng County, but I have never heard of any bell and drum towers, but there is one in the Yinyang Building, just on Xifang Street, and after the Yinyang Building, it is the county government!"
"Let's go early, don't be left behind......"
Zhao Guanren handed her the paperwork and left, Diao Meifeng thanked her repeatedly, but after Zhao Guanren walked back to the camp, he called a cavalryman and asked: "I remember that your hometown is from Zhoucheng County, which street is the Yin Yang Building?"
"Xifang Street! not far from the county government......"
The cavalry replied respectfully, and Zhao Guanren frowned at the guards: "Let the sentry stare at that Diao Meifeng more, I can't tell what's wrong, anyway, her eyes have a sense of vicissitudes, not like a girl from a small place!"
"Yes!"
The guards hugged their fists and went to inform the sentinels, Zhao Guanren walked to the envoy's camp, the officials and lords changed into civilian clothes all day, sat in twos and threes and waited for the meal, and the county lords surrounded a small fence courtyard alone, with two large leather tents in it.
"These big ladies, they have to be served by a row of people to wash their butts......"
Zhao Guanren shook his head angrily, there were more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids queuing up outside the big tent, each holding a special washing tool in their hands, don't look at Yongning like a crazy girl, among the three sisters, she is the most particular, and the foot washing water has to be soaked in flower petals.
"Little Trumpet, come here to eat game, I just shot two pheasants......"
Jia Bufei hurriedly walked over with the hunting bow on his back, Zhao Guanren waved his hand and said: "The stomach is too oily, eat some vegetarian scraping oil, you can take it to make up for the nurses and sisters, they can't all waste when they see you now!"
"Ha~ My Yushu is in the wind Jia Baoyu, how can I be a wasteful person......"
Jia turned around without pretending, this great master who has been "trapped by love" for a lifetime, after unloading the psychological burden, he is boundless, spinning around in the pile of women all day long, constantly polishing his old driver level, determined to be a romantic but not obscene son.
"Wash it, I'll come in......"
Zhao Guanren opened the leather tent and walked in, the big tent was divided into inside and outside by the screen, only to see the county lord of Yongning walking out from behind the screen with his pants, waving his hand and saying: "You all go out, we will eat hot pot for dinner, wash it and bring it in!"
"More vegetarian and less meat!"
Zhao Guanren instructed and sat at the table, Yongning lay on his back and said with a wicked smile: "People wash the incense, I'll drive the maid to the car to sleep later, you sneak in from behind, or you drive people away, I'll drill your bed!"
"You're just like a female ghost, haunted every night......"
Zhao Guanren took a cigarette in his mouth angrily, Yongning picked up the oil lamp to help him light it, followed by a bite on his neck, and said with a wicked smile: "I am the female ghost who asks for your life, if you don't feed me tonight, you don't want to leave, and you will eat to support your Aunt Luo!"
"Yongning, how old are you, why are you still messing around with Uncle Huang......"
The two county lords walked in hand in hand, the sisters were all people who lived outside the palace, and they really thought that Zhao Guanren was their imperial uncle, but Yongning hugged Zhao Guanren's neck again, and said with a smile: "You see how handsome our imperial uncle is, do you want to kiss a few mouths?"
"You're not small, you should understand something......"
The eldest sister Yongwei's face turned red, the younger Yongping didn't understand the affairs of men and women, and when he got on the table, he talked to Zhao Guanren about poetry, Yongwei also regarded him as a great talent, and a series of classical Chinese made him confused, and he couldn't understand it at all!
"You two are very talented, come on, come on, hurry up and eat hot pot......"
Zhao Guanren hurriedly straightened up and diverted the topic, the three county lords had dinner except for him, no one in the team was qualified to share the table, Yongning in order to facilitate flirting, and after finishing the meal, he drove the palace maids out, and only the four of them ate hot pot at the table.
"Just one glance at you, I determined forever, at that time, the carriage and horses were slow, and there was only enough to love one person in a lifetime......"
Yongning sang love songs unscrupulously, and the little foot even kicked the embroidered shoes, stretched out from under the table to hook Zhao Guanren's legs, but Yongping wrinkled his nose and said: "Uncle Huang, you are so eccentric, you only teach my sister these beautiful songs, and don't teach us!"
"Teach! I will give you a ...... each of you."
Zhao Guanren got up to pick up vegetables for the three sisters, Yongning's feet just withdrew and stretched back, and he traveled west on his calf, Zhao Guanren simply scooped up her feet and put them on her legs, scooping up the hot pot with one hand, and playing with her little feet with the other.
"Huh?"
Zhao Guanren touched it and suddenly felt that something was wrong, when did Yongning put on his shoes, and when he looked down in surprise, Yongning had already raised Erlang's legs, and the little feet on his legs were actually Yongwei's, and Yongwei beside him was already red.
'Nima! I touched the wrong person......
Zhao Guanren let go of his hand with embarrassment, Yongwei was so ashamed that he almost bit his red lips, and he didn't dare to look at him when he lowered his head and chopped rice, but he thought about it and felt that something was wrong, if it wasn't for Yongwei's intention, how could he put his foot on his leg?
"You eat slowly, I'll go out to patrol the camp......"
Zhao Guanren hurriedly ate some and got up and went out, he felt that Yongwei might have seen through it, so he deliberately hinted at him under the table to let him, the shameless imperial uncle, restrain a little, but let him grab his feet, but he made a big red face.
Many campfires had been lit in the camp, and dense tents were scattered throughout the valley, and those who did not have tents took their goods 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 boxing, Song Eat Pig came over and said with a smile: "Yan Lao doesn't want to gamble anymore, let's coax him to change his concubine to play, the Yangcheng thin horse he just bought, whoever wins will change it with him!"
"Keep it low-key! it's full of soldiers ...... outside."
Zhao Guanren shook his head angrily and walked away, the army is not allowed to gamble, drink and carry female dependents, but the envoys are all officials, and changing concubines is also a fashion in Dashun, and they are all idle, in addition to gambling money, drinking and bragging, they change their tricks every day to have fun.
"Ugh~ It's really boring, what a fucking ......"
Zhao Guanren turned around and walked back, naturally there would be no major incident if he didn't get out of the border pass, and it was impossible for the bandits to run to rush the camp, and it was only half past six o'clock, and the news broadcast had not even started, and many people were already lying down and preparing to sleep.
"Lord Wang!"
Qiu Ning suddenly chased after him from behind, and said in a low voice: "There are four men missing from the Lanshui River Trading Bank, saying that they went to the stream to fetch water before dark, but there is no one to see until now, and the sentry has not found anyone leaving, do you want to go over and have a look?"
"Let's go, let's see ......"
Zhao Guanren immediately led her to the rear, and soon came to the back of the valley, a small stream crossed from the rear, many people were shouting in the mountains and forests, and many dragoons were also standing by the stream.
"Your Highness, the man disappeared after crossing the stream, leaving no footprints at all......
A hundred households came up and said: "Unless they tread water and keep going downstream, so that they can disappear out of thin air, but I just sent someone to see it, the downstream is a shallow pool, there is nothing in it, and why should they run?"
"Sixth, who is missing, have you lost money or ......goods?"
Zhao Guanren called a person in charge of the caravan, and the other party shook his head anxiously and said: "Lord Wang, our own old man, the executioner brought out by the eldest lady has walked on this road no less than dozens of times, and it is impossible to leave the team without permission, it must be harmed!"
"There's blood!"
Qiu Ning suddenly pointed to the stream and exclaimed, Zhao Guanren walked to the stream with a lantern to take a look, and sure enough, there were blood stains flowing down the stream, and there were broken and big hairs under a closer look, and the dragoon Baihu immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Mountain Pattern Army, come with me!"
"Slow down, Zhang Kui, don't move......"
Zhao Guanren looked at the high mountain in front of him, squinted his eyes and said: "You send two teams of mountain stripes to search upstream, beware of tripwires and tricks and other things, in case of enemy attack, immediately return to defense, no one is allowed to attack without my order, and at the same time strengthen the defense and patrol of the battalion!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Kui immediately took the order and left, and the guys who were looking for people on the mountain were also called back, but Qiu Ning asked puzzledly: "Lord Wang, are you worried that someone will transfer the tiger away from the mountain?"
"I don't know what's going on, someone is coming at me......"
Zhao Guanren immediately turned around and ran towards the mountain pass camp, came to the front of the camp and looked at the civilian team outside, and suddenly said in shock: "What about the people? What about that Diao Meifeng, didn't I let you keep an eye on it?"
"Your Highness! keep staring at ......"
A guard hurriedly said: "The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came in to borrow water, and Minister Qiu happened to come over to inspect, so he sent a few people to go with them, and went to the logistics to have a tea work, and the youngest son is still outside!"
"Grab that kid quickly, a cup of tea has already been ready......"
Zhao Guanren immediately ran to the logistics camp, a cup of tea in Dashun's time concept, as many as fifteen minutes, it would never take so long to carry two buckets of water.
"Hehe~ The prince's reaction is so fast......"
A sinister laugh suddenly sounded from the side, and a sharp sword stabbed out of the tent violently, and the dark red Xuan Qi was like a laser, and at the same time as Zhao Guanren's head turned sideways, it arrived in front of his eyes with a "swish".
