Chapter Eighty-Seven: Entrustment

Ji Xiaotang didn't care about what Cheng Dazhong called him.

"Thousands of families have worked hard all the way. You marshals...... How is he doing now? Ji Xiaotang asked while asking Cheng Dazhong to sit. Cheng Dazhong has met her a limited number of times, but they are all for Qi Younian to pass on the book. When Ji Xiaotang saw Cheng Dazhong, he felt cordial inexplicably.

Cheng Dazhong thanked him in a proper manner, but did not immediately sit down on the chair.

"Thank you county lord, it's the marshal who works hard, and the subordinates don't work hard." As Cheng Dazhong spoke, he carefully took out a letter from the clothes that fit his chest and handed it over with both hands, "Report to the county lord, the marshal is all right." The marshal asked his subordinates to bring a letter to the county lord and asked the county lord to open it in person. ”

Qi Younian's letter!

This is the first time he wrote to Ji Xiaotang after he went to Zhenshanguan, that is, after the two separated.

Ji Xiaotang was a little excited in his heart, so he gave Jin'er a look. Jin'er walked to Cheng Dazhong's side, took the letter in his hand, walked back again, and respectfully presented it to Ji Xiaotang.

The thick envelope carries a lot of weight in your hand. This is the thickest letter Ji Xiaotang has received so far. What did Qi Younian write in it, and what did he have to say.

Thinking so, Ji Xiaotang took the letter in his hand and did not open it immediately.

"Thousands of families have come from afar, so you don't have to be polite here, so let's sit down and talk." Ji Xiaotang's flat tone was full of concern, and he asked the girls to bring good tea and fruits to Cheng Dazhong.

Cheng Dazhong saluted Ji Xiaotang and thanked him. I sat down in a chair.

Only then did Ji Xiaotang open the letter.

When she opened the envelope, she realized that it was not a letter. In other words, this letter was not written by Qi Younian at the same time, but was written intermittently since Qi Younian arrived at Zhenshan Pass.

This can hardly be regarded as a letter, but as if Qi Younian met her face to face and told her about his daily food, clothing, housing and transportation in Zhenshanguan.

Master Ji San also wrote such a letter to Ji Xiaotang, which was at Ji Xiaotang's request. Now those letters from Master Ji San are still stored in the box in the inner room by Ji Xiaotang, and he will take them out and read them when he has time, and plan to wait for his leisure. Those letters were to be compiled into a book of travels.

Ji Xiaotang has never asked Qi Younian like this, but Qi Younian is either self-taught, or he has heard Ji San say that he actually recorded his own life like this. Thousands of miles to send it to Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang read page by page. As if Qi Younian was in front of her, and as if she and Qi Younian were in Zhenshanguan together, she seemed to have seen that Qi Younian had almost no time to wash away the dust of the day after a busy day, but he would wash his hands cleanly, and then spread out the letter paper on the table and write down what he saw and felt on this day. Share it with her.

Ji Xiaotang understood that Qi Younian was using this method. Share your life with her.

Originally, because Qi Younian had never sent a letter, nor did he send anyone to send any message over, Ji Xiaotang complained a little in his heart. Now seeing such a letter, the little resentment in Ji Xiaotang's heart has long disappeared, and the rest is joy and emotion.

At the end of Qi Younian's letter, he also told Ji Xiaotang in detail how he led the soldiers to Tuntian.

The tuntian in the north has been widely expanded, and in addition to the soldiers stationed in the north, there are also a large number of displaced people who have been recruited to the past.

After reading Qi Younian's letter, Ji Xiaotang believes that Qi Younian's Tuntian strategy should soon have good results.

After describing his life, it was Qi Younian's letter to Ji Xiaotang this time.

Familiar handwriting, familiar title, Ji Xiaotang paused slightly on that title, and then moved his gaze down.

Compared with the narrative between them, Qi Younian's letter was written very briefly, he told Ji Xiaotang that he was all right, so that Ji Xiaotang did not have to worry. Next, let Ji Xiaotang convey his greetings to Master Ji San.

Qi Younian remembered that Master Ji San was about to go to sea.

After that, there are two blank lines.

Under the blank, Qi Younian said hello to Ji Xiaotang. Although it was far away in Zhenshan Pass, Qi Younian quickly learned the news that Ji Xiaotang was pregnant~ pregnant. Qi Younian congratulated Ji Xiaotang and hoped that Ji Xiaotang could take care of himself.

At the end of the letter, Qi Younian also said that he hoped to see Ji Xiaotang and her children when he returned to the capital.

Ji Xiaotang sighed softly before slowly taking his eyes off the letter.

Cheng Dazhong immediately stood up.

“…… The subordinates set off from Zhenshan Pass, and the marshal knew that the county lord was pregnant. The marshal asked his subordinates to congratulate the county lord on his behalf, and instructed the county lord to take care of himself. …… The marshal also asked his subordinates to bring congratulatory gifts, hoping that the county lord would like it. ”

Cheng Dazhong said that he brought a congratulatory gift, but the congratulatory gift was not by his side.

Ji Xiaotang asked for a while to know that the gift brought by Cheng Dazhong was a little special, and the people who served him left it outside.

"Something so special, let them bring it in for me, I want to take a good look at it." Ji Xiaotang smiled and ordered.

In King An's mansion, Ji Xiaotang ordered a ban, and no one dared to disobey her order. She ordered to go down, and after a while, someone brought Qi Younian's congratulatory gift up.

Zhenshan Pass is located in the extreme north of Daqin, and it is not a rich place, but the congratulatory gifts prepared by Qi Younian are very rich.

“…… It is the old mountain ginseng picked by the local mountain people in the deep mountains, although it is less than 100 years, it is also 50 years old. This snow lotus was personally picked by the marshal in the mountains, and he was good at picking it on the cliff, and specially asked his subordinates to bring it back to the county lord to replenish his body. Cheng Dazhong introduced.

Qi Younian sent all the local specialties of Zhenshanguan, in addition to the old mountain ginseng, snow lotus, there are also some furs and air-dried wild things, all of which are rare, even in the capital is rare.

And the reason why these things were stopped at the door was because of the iron cage.

Inside the iron cage is a living creature, colorful fur, fluffy and round~ rolling, looking like a larger domestic cat, but it is a tiger cub that has not yet been weaned.

Even Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it. No wonder they were left out by the people they served.

Cheng Dazhong immediately reported to Ji Xiaotang the origin of the tiger cub, which turned out to be encountered by Qi Younian when he was patrolling the border.

“…… The tigress and the bear fight and both die. Just leave this tiger cub behind. The marshal looked cute and adopted it. When his subordinates returned to Beijing, the marshal felt that the county lord would like it, so he asked his subordinates to bring it back to the county lord as a congratulatory gift. ”

Ji Xiaotang is in the study of Xuchun Hall, and there are specimens of leopards sent by Qi Younian, which are lifelike, and they always frighten the little girls. And now there is a live tiger.

Although the tiger cub is small, it is also a tiger, not a cat.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help laughing.

“…… The tiger cub was kept by the marshal's side for a few days. Already very dealine. It has not yet been weaned, and as long as it does not eat raw meat, it will be much less ferocious and will not harm people. Cheng Dazhong said again.

"The marshal is here to make the county lord happy. If the county lord doesn't like it. Or if it's not convenient to raise, let your subordinates bring it back. ”

Cheng Dazhong is a person who has few words, and what he is saying now is obviously Qi Younian's instructions in advance.

Qi Younian thought of everything.

Ji Xiaotang's eyes fell on Cheng Dazhong again.

"The marshal also specially instructed his subordinates that the county lord is pregnant, which is different from the past, so that his subordinates must remember that they must come to see the county lord cleanly......"

What else can Ji Xiaotang say?

"I'll take this little tiger." Ji Xiaotang spoke. Then he commanded that the gift be taken away, and that the cub of the tiger should be taken. Then send a special person to send it to the garden of the palace to take a look. "There's one more thing I don't quite understand, I want to ask you."

Cheng Dazhong immediately saluted Ji Xiaotang.

"The county lord, please ask, the subordinates know everything and say everything."

Ji Xiaotang nodded.

"Your marshal said in his letter that he had entrusted me with the care of men. He didn't say who he had entrusted him, and I couldn't think of it for a while. Thousands of households, can your marshal tell you about this? ”

Qi Younian instructed Ji Xiaotang to take care of herself in the letter, and pointed out that she was pregnant, and because of her identity, there would definitely be people with ill intentions who would be unfavorable to her.

Qi Younian said that he couldn't take care of her personally, so he entrusted a reliable friend to take care of her, but he didn't say who that person was.

"Qiyu County Lord, the marshal didn't tell his subordinates about this matter." Cheng Dazhong replied immediately.

Cheng Dazhong didn't lie, it seems that Qi Younian really didn't mention it to him.

Ji Xiaotang was slightly stunned, who would be the person entrusted by Qi Younian.

At the beginning, Qi Younian once told the eldest princess Qin Min about her, and asked her to go to Qin Min for help when she was in danger. Now that Qin Min has long since passed away, does Qi Younian still have any reliable relatives and friends that he can trust?

Ji Xiaotang didn't think that the person entrusted by Qi Younian would be the Qin family, nor would it be someone from the Mighty Marquis Mansion, if that was the case, Qi Younian would definitely explain.

Qi Younian secretly has such a friend who is capable and can take care of her, but she doesn't know?

sincerely wants to take care of him, and there is such a person, why does Qi Younian refuse to say it clearly?

Ji Xiaotang thought about it, and there was only one answer.

Qi Younian was guarding against someone, and he didn't want this person to know the identity of his secret friend.

Who will Qi Younian be guarding against?

Before Ji Xiaotang could come up with a clue, he heard footsteps in the yard, and then, a little girl's crisp voice reported inside, saying that the prince was coming.

Qin Zhen is here.

The little girl opened the curtain, and Qin Zhen walked in from the outside.

When Cheng Dazhong saw Qin Zhen, the expression on his face did not change, in fact, Cheng Dazhong had a very loyal, but almost paralyzed face, and it was difficult for others to see any mood fluctuations on his face.

Cheng Dazhong saluted Qin Zhen in a proper manner.

Qin Zhen obviously also recognized Cheng Dazhong.

"Thousands of households, please, you have traveled thousands of miles back to Beijing, you have worked hard!"

"It's the duty of my subordinates, and I don't dare to say it's hard."

"Thousands of households are here...... Deliver a letter for Ayou? Qin Zhen sat down beside Ji Xiaotang and asked casually.

"Back to the prince, yes." Cheng Da told the truth.

Qi Younian's letter was also spread out on the low table by Ji Xiaotang, right next to Qin Zhen's hand.

"Ayo's letter back." Ji Xiaotang also said.

Qin Zhen's eyes swept over the spread letter, and then took it back, obviously he knew that this was Qi Younian's letter to Ji Xiaotang, so he didn't have the heart to read it.

"Ayou told me about the situation in Zhenshanguan and knew that I was pregnant. He also congratulated me and sent me a lot of things. Ji Xiaotang told Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen smiled.

"I already knew it, so I walked in. I saw a little girl trembling with fright, saying something about a tiger, a tiger. What's the matter, Ayou has sent you a live tiger now? ”

Qin Zhen knew about the mountain eagle specimens and leopard specimens sent by Qi Younian, and he didn't mind Ji Xiaotang placing them in a conspicuous place in the study.

"Yes, a tiger cub. It was picked up by Ayou when he was patrolling the border, and it looked only a little bigger than the Persian cat raised by Ying'er. Ji Xiaotang replied with a smile.

"Where's the little tiger?" Qin Zhen asked.

"I've sent someone to the garden." Ji Xiaotang replied.

"Ayou sent it, Xiaotang likes it again. It's just that there is really no ready-made place to raise it in our house, and the king of beasts can't treat it badly. Qin Zhen said.

No one said anything about the people serving below, and some people knew a lot about the relationship between Ji Xiaotang, Qi Younian and Qin Zhen. are all thinking in secret. When Qin Zhen said this, he obviously didn't want to keep the little tiger.

But Qin Zhen's next words were beyond everyone's expectations.

"Let's build a tiger garden behind the rockery in the park."

Qin Zhen gave an order, and someone immediately went to carry it out.

Soon, there was one more scene in the back garden of King An's mansion: the Tiger Garden.

And the fact that Qi Younian gave Ji Xiaotang a little tiger thousands of miles away spread in the capital.

Back then, Qi Younian and Qin Zhen turned against each other, and Qi Younian committed beating Qin Zhen and cutting off his robe. So far, it has not been forgotten by people, the little tiger. It also made people talk about the past.

Although the former sweetheart has married a woman and become a noble princess, but the infatuated mighty prince, the handsome Qi Younian of Zhenshanguan, is still unforgettable.

And it just so happens that the zodiac sign of Qi Younian is a tiger.

What does this mean, and what does it represent!

And Qin Zhen's performance on this matter is even more talked-about. Qin Zhen didn't show any jealousy, and deliberately built a tiger garden and raised the little tiger sent by Qi Younian.

Some people say that Qi Younian is infatuated, and some people say that Qin Zhen is generous.

More people say that Qi Younian and Qin Zhen, one is the generalissimo of soldiers and horses with heavy troops, the Great Wall of Daqin, and the other is a prince, both of whom can decide and change the fate of Daqin.

Between these two men, I am afraid that one day there will be another conflict. And at that time, I'm afraid that it won't be able to end the game if someone beats him with his bare hands.

There was a lot of discussion in the capital, and the Empress Dowager Han quickly got the news in the palace.

Empress Dowager Han was smiling, the chess game she arranged was slowly developing according to her vision, and the momentum of this development exceeded her expectations, which made her overjoyed.

"It's really getting more and more interesting......" Empress Dowager Han sat on the couch and comfortably took the fragrant tea from the palace maid.

"What the Queen Mother says is interesting, can you say it, and let the servants also follow the joy." The palace maid who brought the fragrant tea said with a smile carefully.

Empress Dowager Han lifted her eyelids and glanced at the palace maid.

The palace maid is wearing a parrot green palace dress, and her long face is beautiful, even among a group of good-looking palace maids, she is also very conspicuous.

"Pianpan, ......"

The one who stepped forward to serve the Empress Dowager Han, and dared to speak like this in front of the Empress Dowager Han, was Yang Pianpian.

Yang Pianpian has now become the confidant of the Empress Dowager Han, she is intelligent, and well-read, she is very popular with the Empress Dowager Han, and has become one of the most decent palace maids in Cining Palace, second only to those old henchmen who have followed the Empress Dowager Han for many years.

However, such a question is still a bit risky.

But that's how Yang Pianpian asked.

Empress Dowager Han paused, perhaps because she was in a good mood, she didn't have a seizure.

"This person is interesting...... Empress Dowager Han said with a smile, and there was half a more important sentence that she didn't say...... Playing with people's hearts is the most interesting thing in the world.

Su Wangfu

Qin Lin and Zheng Gui knew about Little Tiger almost immediately.

Qin Lin was silent for a long time before laughing.

"Ayou is really a rare infatuated person."

"Infatuated indeed. The woman in his heart is married to someone else, and now she is pregnant, and he still thinks about it, for fear that something will happen to her, so he asks us to come to us and let us take care of it. Zheng Gui also said with a smile.

"If it weren't for that, how could Ayou be willing to confide in us." Qin Lin smiled, "I have to thank the old witch for this matter." If it weren't for her random mandarin duck score, we wouldn't have gotten such help. ”

"It's not just arm help, I'm talking about half of the country." Zheng Guidao.

"Yes, he does take half of the country." Qin Lin nodded.

"It's just that we have to protect Xiaotang's girl."

"And the baby in her belly."

"The infatuated ones are a little stupid, and they can be regarded as unprecedented and unprecedented."

"Anyway, we said yes, and we're going to do it."

"Yes." Zheng Gui immediately replied, but a pair of wonderful~ eyes swirled in Qin Lin's face, "In the heart of the prince, he is also reluctant to hurt Xiaotang's girl." ”

"What did the princess say about this?"

"My Fair Lady and Gentleman, let alone a peerless beauty like Xiaotang, who is not only beautiful, but also has a good heart. Xiaotang can't be owned by the prince, and the prince has always regretted it. ”

"Xiaotang, I treat her, everything is about big things, and the princess should know my mind. In the matter of Xiaotang, if I were King An, I would definitely fulfill Ayou. ”

Zheng Gui smiled, she believed that Qin Lin would really do that.

"In King An's mansion, I think that I have long been governed by Prince An and Xiaotang's girl like an iron bucket, but we don't have to worry about it, other people are not worried, the only thing to worry about is the palace."

"The old witch is unpredictable, and she must be on guard. Princess, you might as well enter the palace and talk to the concubine. ”

"What the prince said is right, I will enter the palace now."

With Concubine Zheng Guifei taking care of them, they are using their inner line in the palace, even if Ji Xiaotang enters the palace, they should be able to keep her safe.

If Ji Xiaotang is safe, they will get half of the country. (To be continued.) )
