Chapter 146: The Girl

Xiao He'er and Ji Qian got their wish, and were able to join the caravan with Shi Qingyi and go to Luoyang, Shi Qingyi paid a high fare, so he got the most high-end enjoyment: he had a separate carriage and only stayed in it with Ji Qian and Xiao He'er.

Along the way, the caravan stops and goes, which is more troublesome and time-consuming than traveling alone, but the benefits are also very obvious: in troubled times, forming a group together can avoid the occurrence of small groups of thieves and robberies, even if you encounter a large number of rogues, it is not impossible to negotiate, and wait until the territory of the big forces, because the caravans go to the north and south to transport goods, in fact, it solves the problem of insufficient resources of the various separatist forces, not only will not be exploited by high amounts, but will be treated as guests, so they will carry out espionage activities with various spy personnel, all of them like to blend in with the caravan.

Of course, Shi Qingyi is not a spy, but the killer's part-time job is a thief, and the thief also works as a spy, so she knows a lot about the various ways of spies, so now, she has put this knowledge and a set of quite difficult training to the two cheap maids, and the two girls are miserable.

"Are you a fool?" Shi Qingyi yelled at Xiao He'er: "Call you a sweet smile, not a smirk, not a heartless smile like a crazy girl, how can you let others let down their vigilance against you at the first time, and then unknowingly leak the information to you!" Look at how good your sister Ji Qian has learned is looking at you, don't you want revenge? With the way you are now, even ten years will be in vain! In the face of Shi Qingyi's accusation, Xiao He'er retorted unconvincedly: "So what, I specialize in art again, Sister Qian's demeanor and disguise are perfect, but she can neither pick the lock nor sneak." You taught her to hide the medicinal powder on her body, and she poured it well, and what was hidden in her mouth was swallowed directly into her stomach, and what was hidden in her hair covered her head and face. If it weren't for the fact that all the powders were replaced by cigarette ash, I wouldn't have my sister Qian! ”

Ji Qian, who was on the side, blushed with shame when she heard this, indeed. In terms of training as a spy, he is quite talented, but when it comes to being a thief, he often makes a fool of himself, which makes Xiaohe'er see jokes.

Shi Qingyi was a little annoyed, although there was really nothing to say about the relationship between the two sisters, but such ridicule of Ji Qian still made Shi Qingyi secretly decide to teach Xiao He'er a lesson: "So, you just need to concentrate on learning to be a thief?" Shi Qingyi asked Xiao He'er. And Xiao He'er immediately nodded and admitted: "Well, let Sister Qian learn to be a spy, I want to concentrate more on learning to be a thief so as to protect Sister Qian." Shi Qingyi smiled secretly in his heart, the fish was hooked, but for the sake of insurance, he still asked more: "Really made up your mind?" "Really!" Xiao He'er's voice was full of joy, and Shi Qingyi smiled: "That's good." From tomorrow onwards, I will concentrate on teaching you the skills of being a thief. However, as a countervailing the cost of spy training. All training is doubled. Without waiting for Xiao He'er to jump up happily, Shi Qingyi continued to tell the bad news, causing Xiao He'er to fall directly with a weak foot and twist his foot.

In ancient China, the Han Dynasty had two meals a day, but after hundreds of years of war between the Three Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties at the end of the Han Dynasty, people began to gradually change to three meals a day. Of course, for farmers, in order to save food, there has always been a tradition of doing things when they are busy, and when they are not overly burdened. It was not uncommon to eat only two meals, but for caravans, hired laborers living in towns, and the military, three meals a day were essential because of the long period of heavy labor.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, the caravan stopped in a village and began to prepare lunch, Shi Qingyi and the three also got out of the car, and bought a hen from the home of a nearby farmer as a side dish, making this thing, Xiao He'er is the best at it, I saw her pinching the chicken neck with one hand, holding the chicken body with the other hand and twisting, I heard' With a click, the hen was thrown on the ground and kicked her legs and never moved again, and then she cleanly disemboweled the chicken, and soon she had cleaned up the rope, Ji Qian had already dug a pit and waited from the beginning, looking at the tacit understanding between the two, it is estimated that the two of them had done this kind of thing before, of course, the source of the chicken naturally did not need to be investigated. Then, it's the traditional way of calling Hanako chicken. I have to say that the craftsmanship of the two of them is really good, even with Shi Qingyi, the three of them are full of oil, and they are satisfied.

Chang'an, Tang Wangfu.

Unlike Shi Qingyi's comfortable days at this time, Li Yuan and Father Li have been worrying for the past few days, the reason for the worry is that there was an accident in the west, the original Fufeng was too guarded by Xue Ju to defeat the Dou rail, and even Fufeng was lost, Liu Shirang recruited the original Tang Bi soldiers, plus his original strength was no less than 20,000, but he was captured in the first battle, and he didn't even run out with his son. As a result, the battle situation on the western front was unfavorable, and Xue Ju took the opportunity to send troops eastward and then besiege Jingzhou.

Jingzhou, is the gateway of Guanzhong, guarded by the hussar general Liu Shao, Li Yuan knows that Liu Shao is stoic and brave, talent and wisdom are enough to guard the city, but the only concern is that the city's grain and grass reserves are insufficient, so how to do the best to rescue Liu Shao and ensure the safety of the gateway to Guanzhong has become a major matter related to the safety of Guanzhong.

That is why, in the past few days, Daddy Li has been so worried that even his hair has turned white, so he has to run to Zhang Jieyu's bedroom every day to dispel his grievances in the company of beauties. For example, now, even talking to Pei Lin about business with the right servant didn't move a place: "Pei Lao Ghost, Pei Lao Ghost, you said you, do your best to have a bad idea, if you didn't advocate the transfer of troops from the Western Front to the Eastern Front, the current Western Front would not be so critical, even Jingzhou was besieged, and now our 12th Army policy in Guanzhong is not fully prepared, Guanzhong is empty, once Jingzhou is lost, Xue Ju's army can drive straight into Guanzhong and repeat our original story." Now what? ”

Pei Lone's nickname is Pei Lao Ghost, but now he dares to call him that way, only Li Yuan, an old buddy, and he also has a nickname, which is the smiling tiger, which is to describe him to smile and look confident no matter what the situation is, of course, for Li Yuan, he knows exactly what his old friend is. In fact, it is. In fact, Li Yuan already had an idea on how to adjust Guanzhong's own strategy, however, Daddy Li's indecisive personality made him always have to listen to the opinions of others before making a decision, and Pei Lian, who has been an old friend for many years, is undoubtedly the most suitable person.

"So far, what else is there to say, only to withdraw the prince to support the west, fortunately, the prince has not gained nothing by sending troops this time, the springboard for the eastward expansion has been taken into our hands, and it will be much easier to get out of the customs again in the future than this time." Pei Lin said.

"It's a pity" Li Yuan sighed and said: "Luoyang is also surging at this time, Dugu Valve is fighting with Wang Shichong in the city, and Li Mi is strong and pressing, although the three forces are strong, they can't deal with the Tang Army, it is the best time for the Tang Army to conquer the city, once the opportunity disappears, I don't know when it will come, oh yes, Pei Lao Ghost, I still have to ask you something, you have to help me with a good staff, the leader of the world's righteous path, Cihang Jingzhai Fairy is about to appear in Luoyang to choose the Ming Lord, at that time." , Because of the power of the righteous path, no matter which force has to live in peace in Luoyang, who do you say we send into the city? ”

If it is just to visit a prince, there are many envoy candidates, but what Cihang Jingzhai did this time is to select the Ming Lord, therefore, the candidates must be cautious, and they must be able to represent Li Yuan's people, and in terms of Li Yuan's cautious and suspicious character, in fact, there are only four people who can send envoys: Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Yuanji and Princess Xiuning. Now Princess Xiuning has not returned from the mission to Pegasus Ranch, and Li Yuanji is in Taiyuan, and among the remaining two, Li Jiancheng is the son of the world, and Li Yuan has long cultivated him as his heir. Therefore, the only real envoy is Li Shimin.

Just as Pei Lian's mind can't hide from Daddy Li, Daddy Li's mind Pei Lin is also clear, and what Pei Lin has to do next is to strengthen Daddy Li's determination.

However, there are rumors in the rivers and lakes: Those who get the harmony clan will win the world, so Daddy Li and Pei Lin are not worried that the harmony clan is really in the hands of Li Shimin, and then will it replace Li Jiancheng's position? In this regard, the two old uncles really didn't take it seriously, and being able to successfully snatch He's Bi would certainly have a great impact on Guanzhong's reputation, but reputation is one thing, strength is another, and Daddy Li, who has been through the ups and downs of the sea for a long time, understands such a truth better than anyone else: without strong strength as a backing, no matter how big the reputation is, it is just a floating cloud.

So, when Shi Qingyi came to Luoyang after a journey of more than 20 days, she was greeted by such a situation: Guanzhong began to withdraw its troops, and after reaching an armistice agreement with Luoyang, Li Shimin led a group of his subordinates to form an envoy group to the Eastern Capital.

"I didn't expect to meet so early!" After seeing the note sent by the disciples of the Huajian Sect in Luoyang, Shi Qingyi said to himself. Although it was expected that Li Shimin would come to Luoyang, it was still a surprise to Shi Qingyi that he would be ahead of him. So whether or not to see him at this time? Dragged back to the point where he seemed to be afraid of him. Then go for it! Shi Qingyi made a decision in his heart. (To be continued......)
