"Third master, this ......" slapped his thigh, "Miss, the visitor is a guest, how can you let the guest go down to the kitchen?"

Xue Qi's face was suddenly covered with a layer of grievance, yes, reason told him that Jiuquan Beizhuang is no longer the property of Jian'an Hou Mansion, and these subordinates are no longer the subordinates of Jian'an Hou Mansion, but their attitude is inevitably too eager, do they want to break off the relationship with the Xue family so much?

glared at Xue Ying, who was smiling, angrily: "The county lord's method of training his subordinates is really high. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "In order to vent her anger, these people really went out of their way to squeeze him.

"Thanks for the compliment. Xue Ying replied triumphantly, and then said to Aunt Shunzi, "Aunt Shunzi, these are all done, let's go out first, and by the way, tell everyone that the meal is ready." ”

Xue Qi couldn't help but say and picked up a plate of dishes: "Follow the customs, in order to eat, I'd better do some work obediently." ”

"Don't spill it, I worked so hard to make it. Xue Ying didn't forget to add.

Xue Qi held his breath: "I, will, go, go!"

When he went out, Xue Ying sighed faintly: "Horses have stumbled, it's always good to be careful." ”

Say who's the horse?!

Xue Jing covered his mouth and smiled secretly, exchanging a tacit look with Xue Ying, as if he liked Xue Ying's teasing of Xue Qi very much, and he was full of eating inside and out.

Eating early and late, Xue Ying thought that Xue Qi would take Xue Jing away, but the two of them disappeared in a blink of an eye, and went to ask Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu said: "Master Xue took Young Master Xue out, and when he went out, he explained, saying that he went into the mountains to hunt, let us prepare dinner." ”

Could it be that they still want to spend the night here? It's really inexplicable, this Jiuquan Village is not their home, why do they want to live there? Also, after the business is over, they don't hurry to leave, stay or want to bargain?

Xue Ying was depressed for a while, then shook off her worries, and planned to use the peach blossoms picked back yesterday to make wine today. The peach blossoms that have been in the shade overnight are now a little wilted, and after kneading, they ooze out purple-red juice, put the kneaded peach blossoms at the bottom of the altar, put the peach nectar in the middle, and finally pour the liquor, seal, and a jar of Xue Ying's special peach blossom wine is brewed.

But after taking a shovel around the yard a few times, Xue Ying didn't find a suitable burial place, she had made too much wine before, and there was no place for her to put it. I had no choice but to raise a few jars and bury the new wine.

After finishing the work, I was sweating and my hands were a little sore. Xue Ying simply sat on the ground, picked up the newly dug wine jar and slapped it open, and directly poured a few sips.

"You like to drink like this?" a voice suddenly sounded.

"Ahem, cough, cough!" Xue Ying was so frightened that she suddenly choked. Fortunately, the wine jar in her hand was not overturned, otherwise she would have to be furious. glared at the person who spoke fiercely: "Didn't you go into the mountains to hunt?"

"The sun is about to go down and you won't come back?" Besides, today is a good harvest, isn't it just right to bring it back for dinner?" Xue Qi couldn't help but take the wine jar in her hand, and frowned after taking a sip, "This is what you brewed?"

Xue Ying glanced at him: "Have an opinion?"

"Better than the tea you make. For Xue Qi, those tea leaves are the most terrifying nightmare. "By the way, I just noticed today that this is not far from the Sky Plank Road. ”

The volley plank road passes through the continuous mountain range, and there are many extremely steep sections of the road carved out from the mountain cliffs, which have long been impassable because of disrepair, and it is a road that has been abandoned for a long time. But there are exceptions, for example, nine years ago, a group of deserters accidentally entered Jiuquan Bezhuang from the side of the volley plank road.

It's just that why did Xue Qi suddenly mention this?

Seeing Xue Ying's puzzled eyes, Xue Qi smiled incomprehensibly: "The volley plank road used to be the throat road connecting Anjing City and the Northern Xinjiang Theater, through which it can shorten at least one-third of the distance from Anjing City to the Northern Xinjiang Theater, so more than seventy percent of the materials sent to the Northern Xinjiang Theater back then were through this plank road, but then this road was suddenly damaged to the point where it could not be used anymore, and it was completely abandoned after a while." By the way, do you usually go to the volley boardwalk?"

Xue Ying shook her head.

"That's good, try not to get close during this time, so as not to get into trouble. ”

When he said this, he clearly deliberately wanted to arouse her curiosity. Xue Ying asked, "Is someone secretly repairing the volley plank road?"

Xue Qi nodded, then stared into her eyes: "Guess who it will be?"

"How do I know?" Xue Ying was puzzled, "It can't be me, right?"

Xue Qi finally looked away at the sky: "It's been several years since Chuan Shuai died, but the situation in northern Xinjiang has never been clear. Legend has it that Chuan Shuai had chosen an heir before he died, but there are still different opinions about who this heir is. Chuan Shuai's strategy of slaughtering the city and pit the people of the city back then greatly damaged the vitality of the Northern Plains, but it also buried the blood feud between the two countries. ”

"What does this kind of national event have to do with me?" Xue Ying got up and patted her buttocks, "You can slowly break your nerves, I won't accompany you." ”

"The emperor plans to send people to northern Xinjiang to clear up the confusion and revive the morale of the army. ”

"So what?" Xue Ying still didn't understand.

"Princess Yunyang once secretly ordered that the emperor should not interfere in the replacement of the generals in the Northern Xinjiang Theater, so the emperor's intervention in the Northern Xinjiang Theater has always been only an itch in the boots and cannot play a fundamental role. Now, we need Princess Yunyang to provide a new book of destiny. ”

However, everyone has been hiding the news of Chuan Shuai's death from Master Mingtu, and until now Xue Ying is not sure whether Master Mingtu has known the truth, so Xue Ying is not sure at all about what Master Mingtu will decide.

Xue Ying suddenly had a dry mouth: "You came here, in addition to picking up Jing'er and negotiating peace charms with me, mainly to secretly investigate the matter of the volley plank road, right?"

"The repair of the volley plank road is not a small project, and the imperial court has not dared to mention this stubble for so many years, in addition to the meaning of avoiding suspicion, but also because of the problem of funding. Even the imperial court may not be able to accomplish things, don't you wonder who has the courage to take on it?"

"Do you suspect it's Princess Yunyang?"

"Princess Yunyang holds the most secret and powerful power in Dagu, and the volley plank road is so close to here, and more importantly, the relationship between her and Chuan Shuai is inextricably linked, my suspicion is not excessive, right? ”
