23. Clear the trouble

Feng Yuan lowered his head and took a sip of tea: "This matter is serious, the emperor asked Jane to set off immediately, one virtue is enough, I am going to handle the case and not to enjoy the blessings." After the words fell, he stood up, "That's it, I'll go and say goodbye to Mrs. Hou." ”

That's good, that's good, my door is cold, and you two don't want to serve the pillow to get the master's favor! Feng Tong lowered his head and curled the corners of his mouth.

The official road is wide and long, and it is endless.

The green warbler was turned over in the belly, opened the curtains and smelled the grass and trees before feeling better, and glanced back, there were many soldiers, and there was a long team.

She was far away from Bianjing, and she was still a little dizzy at this time.

She was awakened when she was resting in the dormitory, and when she heard Feng Yuan say that she would accompany him to Shangrao County, she was startled, and hurriedly got up and beckoned the maid to pick up, and got into the carriage out of Beijing in a hurry. Except that Mrs. Liu brought her from Datong Mansion to Bianjing, this was the first time she had gone far away, although Feng Yuan's carriage was luxurious and comfortable, but there were potholes on the ground, and it was inevitable that it would sway left and right at this time.

"Lower the curtain!"

A cry sounded in the carriage, and the green warbler shuddered in fright, and lowered the curtain with shaking hands.

Trembling and turning around, she saw Feng Yuan's face sinking like water, she didn't know why, and muttered: "Master"

"Can't sit still? Want everyone to see what you look like? Which hook up with the other? Seeing that she not only lifted the curtain, but also poked her head out, and she didn't know how many men were seen by herself, Feng Yuan was furious.

"Master, the slave maid has not been in a carriage for a long time, and she is really uncomfortable by shaking, and she always feels nauseated, so she wants to breathe" The green warbler wet her eyes after speaking, and her eyes and red nose are not pitiful.

Feng Yuan looked at her coldly, and saw that she was indeed a little haggard, so his face eased. Wrapping her around the waist, letting her sit on her chest, she took out a few plates of preserved fruits from the dark compartment under the wooden table, and personally picked up a dried apricot and fed it to her mouth.

The green warbler opened its mouth and smacked its mouth, the sour taste was not so dizzy.

Thinking of how vicious he was, she was a little aggrieved, and said in a muffled voice: "Master, where are we going?" ”

Feng Yuan put his arm around her with one hand, rubbed her hair with the other, and wrote lightly: "There was a bandit trouble in Shangrao County, and the master was sent to suppress the bandits." ”

What? Banditry? The green warbler was shocked.

The bandits and the like are all deadly, how can such a terrifying thing make her a weak woman follow? I don't know if I can still have the life to go back to Bianjing, she is full of fear and resentment, and she doesn't dare to show anything on her face, but she can't stop complaining about him in her heart.

The carriages and horses did not stop, and everyone pinched the hour, rushed to the post station in the dark, and rested early to recuperate after eating and drinking.

The next day, as soon as the morning dawned, the horses were fed, and the group set off after a simple breakfast.

All the way, and finally stayed up until noon, Feng Yuan thought that the soldiers and horses were tired, and ordered to stop to rest and drink water and eat food.

Chewing on the dry steamed buns, he was a little worried. This Bianjing and Shangrao only one official road, bandits are coming to Bianjing, the two sides on the road will meet in a narrow way, and then destroy it along the way, but the distance has gone most of the way, not even a ghost shadow has been seen, if a group of bandits change the mountain road to the side, then it will be a long-term discussion.

With the sound of footsteps, Commander Zhao Yan led a soldier forward, "My lord, the spies ahead have returned, and there is something important to return." ”

Feng Yuan listened carefully, knowing that the homeless people had appeared, and when he was only a few miles away from him, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he explained to the green warbler before getting out of the car: "Stay in the car obediently, don't get out of the car before the master comes back, and don't lift the curtain, can you understand?" After she nodded, she went to discuss the deployment with Zhao Yan.

The green warbler is frightened, and I don't know if there are many thieves, but there will be someone to protect him? I couldn't help but secretly lift the corner of the curtain, there were many soldiers around the carriage, and Feng Yuanli's place was not far from here, so she was relieved.

This compartment is waiting for the rabbit, and the group of homeless people are meandering forward, and a few words of cooing are heard from time to time.

Lu Donkey stabbed the person next to him: "Hey, Zhao Laosan, you said that since God has warned him, why doesn't he change the emperor directly, and let us change it?" Then these few people, if we don't change them, will the government arrest us? ”

Zhao San scratched the back of his head and smiled Hanhan, "I don't know what God thinks, Brother Donkey, if the government arrests us, how many days will we be locked up?" My daughter-in-law gave birth to two girls for me, and I won't be away for long. ”

Others also whispered, gossiping "How many days?" I don't know if I can keep my head. "We estimate that this is the crime of rebellion, and I heard that it will be beheaded all over the house!" "Five horses split into corpses!" "Zhu Jiu Clan!" Yunyun.

Before, I came all the way to Bianjing, but there was no money and no food, many people were hungry and did not want to go anymore, some returned home, some sat on the ground, and finally only a few hundred people were left shouting the banner. At this time, I have been running around hungry for nearly two days, and there are some regretful people, who don't understand how they became rebels as a civilian?

was whispering and complaining, and suddenly saw the officers and soldiers in front of him, and he was stunned for a moment, and many people rushed out of the flow of people, pulling out their legs and fleeing backwards. I don't know who shouted in front of me: "Brothers, folks, kill it!" Kill the lackeys of the court and change the emperor, we can live a good life."

The rest of the men rushed towards the officers and soldiers. After the dozen or so murderous sweaters with big knives in the lead were caught, a group of old, weak, sick and disabled rabble with wooden sticks and shovels threw down the guys in their hands and grabbed them, kneeling on the ground and shouting: "The official spares his life, the official spares his life."

It took a stick of incense to eliminate this bandit, which can be described as a victory, and the bandits were escorted straight to Shangrao County.

Feng Yuan boarded the carriage and saw the green warbler's pale face at a glance, thinking that she was frightened by the shouting of killing, and shook her head funny, "Heard the movement?" You, when you first saw you, you were a mouse, how did you forget, so you should use a handkerchief to plug your ears for you. ”

The green warbler was still a little vomiting, and only then did she hear the roaring and fighting, and opened the curtain in curiosity. Before she could see a few dead and injured people, suddenly a smell of blood wafted along with the smell of earth, she retched a few times, didn't dare to look at it again, turned around and sat down, regretting why she didn't listen to Feng Yuan's words and stayed honestly.

Because of the escort people, they could not go fast, the post station could not catch up, the carriage went around for two hours, and when it was about to dark, it stopped outside a tea house, and the group planned to spend the night here.

Zhao Yan personally ordered two teams of soldiers to change guards and prisoners in the middle of the night, and the others went to set up tents.

After that, he walked to the carriage and respectfully asked through the curtain: "My lord, the matter of the bandits and prisoners has been settled, can you want to eat at this time?" ”

Brother-in-law Tong Gu is the deputy commander of the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Division, and it is this subordinate who is commanding Zhao Yan, because of this level of involvement, Feng Yuanji gives him face, although he is the commander-in-chief, he has discussed with him all the way, and he has never been arbitrary.

At this time, he also got out of the car, arched his hand at Zhao Yan, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao has worked hard, this official has to give you a few glasses tonight." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, your lord has tortured the official." Zhao Yan was a little flattered, he didn't expect this noble man from the Hou Mansion to be so easy-going.

The two sat down side by side, and Zhao Yan waved his hand to call the shopkeeper, "What kind of food do you have here?" Pick a good one and report it. ”

"Hehe, the two officials are more forgiving, we don't have a store in the village before, there are no such valuable shrimp and crabs, they are all home-cooked, braised anchovies, honey goose, steamed pork ribs and mushrooms, longevity vegetables, leek tofu, the two masters look feasible?"

This person was quite sharp-tongued, and Zhao Yan looked at Feng Yuan.

Feng Yuan nodded, "Well, that's all." ”

The shopkeeper turned around and was stopped by him again, "Add more honey goose and steamed pork ribs and mushrooms." ”

Zhao Yan said in his heart, this is too much, how can the two of them use it?

As soon as the dish came up, Zhao Yan saw him pick up the goose and ribs and walk to the carriage, and he didn't forget to take a white steamed bun, and he was relieved.

When he came to Shangrao, he knew that there was a woman in Lord Feng's carriage, he thought it was a maid, but he had been hidden tightly, and at this time, Yixun thought must be Lord Feng's concubine.

He is happy, this Lord Feng is also a graceful and wonderful person, and he does not forget to be gentle even when he suppresses bandits.
