Now that all men have come to perfection and the time has passed, all of them have gone into action. Mu Qing and A Liu were still in the car, Du Ruhui and Deputy Lieutenant Su followed on horseback, and ten personal soldiers scattered into the group of coachmen and escorted the convoy.

At the right time, there are not many people walking in the market, but they are the official family members of Ying Mao, and the domestic servants who come out of the house early in the morning to buy in the city. Seeing so many carts, loaded with so many wooden boxes, one by one heading towards the city gate, I couldn't help but be curious, and looked around. Seeing that the people who drove the car were all dressed as merchants, and then looked at the carriage that Mu Qing was sitting in, judging from the style and decoration, it was not surprising that he was also a solid businessman, so the pedestrians on the road only visited two or three times, and they were just ordinary businessmen.

On the top of the city gate, Zhang Changshi of Honghua County rubbed his slightly dizzy eyes, looked at the team of carts and horses pulling goods from afar, and pulled the soldiers on duty on the side, "Look at it, but those baggage that was pulled into the city a few days ago?" Who is escorting? ”

The soldier tried to open his eyes for a long time, and then hesitated: "If it is, it is not all." ”

And how to say! After taking a closer look, the affairs in the army cannot be discussed in vain, and everything must be confirmed before making a decision. Zhang Changshi said solemnly, half of this was said to the soldiers on duty, but the other half was said to himself.

The soldier looked at it for a while, and then hesitated and said, "It looks like an ordinary businessman, and the escort is not very abnormal." The car in the lead followed behind, but it was familiar, and the villain was clumsy, and he couldn't really recognize who it was. ”

Zhang Changshi pulled him over and looked at the battlement, but his eyes were really bad, he only vaguely felt that Du Ruhui's figure was very familiar, and he muttered to himself in his heart, this Erlang of the Li family killed all the way over, even suppressed and collected, and gathered no less than 50,000 soldiers in his hands, holding heavy soldiers at a young age, and in troubled times, it is inevitable that he will not be a little arrogant, who can guarantee that he is still loyal to the court? But all the slight actions are abnormal, and they are reported one by one, if there is no intention of rebellion, then he is cautious as a party with a long history, if it happens that Li Erlang really has a whimsical idea, isn't it a miracle?

The more Zhang Changshi thought about it, the more proud he became, as if he had seen the commendation awarded by the imperial court, thinking about the scene where he had survived to this age and finally had to be crowned a wife, he didn't feel a little smile on his face, and the soldiers around him saw him out of his mind, and they didn't know what he was laughing at, and it was not good to interrupt him, so he had to cough a few times on the side before dragging back the thoughts of this Changshi.

Just when he was too vain and fugue, and a few carriages had already left the city gate, Zhang Changshi panicked, hurriedly summoned the little guy who came with him, and ordered him to follow him later, and follow him out of the city for thirty miles, to see if they were ordinary merchants or had other plans.

It was the turn of spring and summer, the sky was clear, not far out of the city, and the roadside was already a new green. Mu Qing has not settled down for a long time, and suddenly the warm wind blows, and his face is full of the fragrance of flowers and plants, and he is warm and drunk. She lifted the curtains, got out of the car, and sat outside the car and took a few deep breaths, the warm breeze seemed to carry the fragrance of herbs. When I looked down, I saw that the ruts were full of crushed mugwort leaves, and the fragrance came from above, which reminded her that the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching.

Obviously, Ah Liu was also attracted by this aroma, probed out of the compartment to look around, and said leisurely: "It's almost time to wrap the horns." As he spoke, he sniffed violently and said happily to Mu Qing: "Did Qi Niang remember the Dragon Boat Festival in Yuhang in the old year?" The whole house should be wrapped in horn millet, Ai Qing, candied dates, white jade, bean paste ham, and Qi Niang's most reluctant to eat preserved corn corn. ”

"I don't remember." Mu Qing laughed loudly, "But I can't remember what age it is, the two big pink roses in the courtyard bloomed very well, and countless petals fell, we saw that the pink and fragrant petals were swept away, but it was a pity that they rushed to pick them up before sprinkling and sweeping." That day was to be wrapped in horn millet, because I had seen in the book that roses can be used to make tea, so I had a whimsical idea, wrapped those petals into horn millet, and when it was boiled thoroughly, where to see the petals, boiled in the water and rice early, but those horn millet were all fragrant and sweet, and even Daddy felt novel. ”

"Now that I'm in the countryside, how about I cut some calamus and bring it back and wrap it in the season?" Ah Liu was as excited as a child, and he and Mu Qing discussed the matter of wrapping horns in a similar manner, which made Ada bow his head and laugh while driving the car.

After walking for about an hour, there was a big village in front of him, Mu Qing invited Deputy Lieutenant Su and whispered to him: "In our line, only Deputy Lieutenant Su is a serious official, and the people in the countryside are afraid of officials. ”

Deputy Lieutenant Su pondered for a moment, looking a little at a loss, "How should the subordinate state phrase it, the severity of the words, and ask Gu Niangzi to make it clear." ”

Mu Qing was afraid that he would be nervous, so he smiled slightly, changed his title, and said: "It's okay for Brother Su to go straight, he just said that he was ordered by the army to prepare summer clothes in the army, and he knew our rules in detail, and slightly put on his official authority, and it was expected that there must be respectful cooperation, so he asked him to summon the peasant women in the village." I'll talk about the rest later. ”

Deputy Lieutenant Su didn't despise her as a woman, her face was comprehending, she apologized again and again, straightened up, added a whip, and rode her horse first. Mu Qing's eyes turned his eyes and saw Du Ruhui looking at her with a smile from behind, and in front of everyone, she saw that her skin was thin, and she blushed slightly.

In order to make Deputy Lieutenant Su have spare time to be with him, Mu Qing deliberately ordered to go down and slow down the speed, the village in front of him was actually huge, all the way, roughly counting, there were no less than 100 houses. By the time she had calmly reached the largest clearing in the village, fifty or sixty women had gathered, and there was a tumult of chattering in the barnyard. Deputy Lieutenant Su was standing majestically and solemnly on the high platform built of big stones in front of him, and the person standing beside him was about fifty years old, about the Lizheng of this village.

When the car went to the sidelines, Mu Qing stepped down from the first car, and Deputy Lieutenant Su hurriedly jumped down from the high platform and quickly stepped forward to greet her. I don't know which one suddenly found Du Ruhui behind her, and there was a burst of tsk discussion, a little bolder, and the voice was a little higher, "I don't know which official family member is handsome." "Mo Hun said, I'm afraid that it will be more beneficial than the official family above." "It must be so, and the faction is not ordinary."

Deputy Lieutenant Su led Mu Qing up to the high platform, where she and Du Ruhui were walking from the other end of the valley, so they looked at them all the way, and saw that the two of them were dressed in plain and light colors, but the posture was extraordinary, and saw that Deputy Lieutenant Su greeted each other respectfully, and guessed in his heart that these two people must not be ordinary, and they must be served carefully. When I got closer, I realized that this woman had a beautiful complexion, a natural temperament, a simple skirt, and a very meticulous workmanship. Mu Qing smiled with a smile on his face and saluted him, but Li Zheng was taken aback, and he didn't dare to accept the salute, let alone reach out to help.
