Chapter 609: War Horse
The green mountains are green, and the flowing water is dingdong.
The breeze is like water, the white clouds are dotted, and the blue sky is like washing.
On the endless lake, there are four large boats moving forward.
The boat was hung with red silk, swaying in the wind.
There are silver bells ringing, and the sound of the piano is very pleasant.
"It's been three days on the boat, and there is still one day to get to the shore, and I have to take another two days to get to Jizhou," a light sigh came, "Jizhou is so far away." ”
A chuckle responded, "It's too late to go to Jizhou to worship and get married?" ”
Xiao Jin'er's face turned red, and she stomped her feet and said, "Sister-in-law! ”
As soon as she stomped her foot, the white dove, which had just stopped on the window, was startled and flapped its wings to escape.
Zhao Cheng jumped and caught the white pigeon back.
This time, Xiao Jin'er's face was as red as the sunset, and she covered her face and ran back to the room.
Zhao Cheng grabbed the carrier pigeon, took it down, and saw that An Rong was fuqin, so he read the letter, and then said, "The young grandmother is like a god, and the Dongyan secret guard wants the young grandmother to go to Shuozhou to exchange the eight girls." ”
The corners of An Rong's mouth rose and he didn't speak.
It's not her who is like a god, it's Xiao Zhan.
An Rong continued to play the qin.
I don't know if An Rong's piano sound is too good, and another carrier pigeon came.
Landing on the piano platform, drooping his little head, poking and poking here, bumping there.
An Rong misses a little bit of the days when he was in Linglong Pavilion and got along with Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu.
But Xiao Zhan took them to the border and never came back.
One song is over.
An Rong withdrew his hand, then grabbed the pigeon and took down the letter from the pigeon's feet.
Looking at the contents of the letter, An Rong's brows furrowed, and then frowned.
Over there, Xiao Jin'er was bored in the house, but she didn't dare to move around, for fear of startling the carrier pigeon away again.
No, An Rong grabbed the carrier pigeon, and she walked out with confidence.
Seeing that An Rong's face was not very good, Xiao Jin'er's heart tightened slightly. asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" ”
An Rong looked at Xiao Jin'er and said, "It's not Xue'er's fault. It was the Ling family in Huaizhou, and the Sun Governor's Mansion arrested Master Ling and Young Master Ling, saying that the Wen family's merchant ships, the goods to be sent to the border gate, were burned by the Ling family. The Ling family compensated the Wen family for their losses. ”
Xiao Jin'er sat cross-legged in front of An Rong, she was puzzled, "Wasn't it burned by Dongyan Secret Guard, why was it burned by the Ling family?" ”
An Rong shook her head, she didn't understand, but the letter said that the evidence was conclusive.
Cui Yao got into the boat and said, "Huaizhou's matter." It's really incomprehensible, three days ago, didn't the Wen family still want to marry the Ling family, and in a blink of an eye, they became enemies again. ”
An Rong took the teacup, sipped it gently, and said, "Although I only have a one-sided relationship with Master Ling, with his guts, even if I borrow him three or five tiger guts." He didn't dare to burn the Wen family. ”
Xiao Jin'er glanced at the letter, and in addition to telling the secret guard about the matter, the secret guard on the letter asked An Rong if he wanted to save the Ling family.
"Sister-in-law. Do you want to save the Ling family? Xiao Jin'er asked.
An Rong's brows moved slightly, "The Ling family and I can be regarded as life-saving, since we know it, we can't sit idly by." ”
Cui Yao smiled and said, "Ling family." I think only Ling Yun, who has not grown up, has three points of courage, but unfortunately, he is too young, Young Master Ling has been sick for a long time, and his temperament is soft, if he just supports the Ling family, the Ling family will not be able to replace the Wen family. ”
An Rong looked at Cui Yao and raised his eyebrows, "The Wen family used to be better than the Ling family, but now the Wen family has suffered heavy losses, and the Ling family can't replace the Wen family?" ”
Saying that, An Rong smiled, "If you have something to say, you can say it directly, I don't know as much as you, but I can't guess what you said." ”
Cui Yao didn't spare the bend, he smiled, "Actually, the Wen family has always been kind to business, and I have a lot of business dealings with my Cui family, but the kind-hearted is only Master Wen, over the years, Mrs. Wen has relied more and more on the second master Wen, my Cui family transported goods, and the shipping fare rose by more than two percent, this time, the merchant ship caught fire, the Wen family suffered heavy losses, and the old lady Wen was not less angry, and now the Wen family's business has been handed over to the second master Wen." ”
The Wen family relied on the second master, which is normal.
Who is called Mrs. Wen is the cousin of the prefect's wife.
Especially now that the Wen family has suffered heavy losses, if they don't hug the thigh of Sun Zhifu, the Wen family wants to turn over, but I'm afraid it will take two or three times as long.
"In Huaizhou, the real prestige is still Master Wen, the businessmen who come and go, which does not say that Master Wen is good, but unfortunately, the old lady of the Wen family is old and confused, and the second master Wen is tough in the background, and everyone dare not offend him," Cui Yao felt sorry for Master Cui.
After speaking, Cui Yao glanced at An Rong, and when he saw that there was a look in her eyes, he knew that An Rong understood.
Xiao Guogong's office is always about evidence.
Listening to Cui Yao's words, Master Wen can't do it.
One person does things and one person is in charge, and the Xiao Guogong Mansion will definitely not trouble Master Wen.
Without Second Master Wen, the Wen family is still the master of the house, he is kind and prestigious.
With him in the Wen family, sooner or later they will be able to regain their former glory.
How was the Ling family an opponent of the Wen family?
Hearing this, there was no need for An Rong to command, Zhao Chengcheng knew what to do.
Wrote a letter and asked the carrier pigeon to bring it back.
An Rong continued to play the qin.
The days on the ship are boring and boring.
In addition to playing the piano to pass the time, it is to enjoy the scenery.
Again, it's sleeping.
Another day passed.
On this day, there were burning clouds in the sky.
When the boat docked on the shore, I saw the Cui family waiting there, cheering with suona firecrackers.
Xiao Jin'er changed her wedding dress, wore a phoenix crown, and sat in a sedan chair.
An Rong is in a carriage.
A long wedding procession took two days to arrive in Jizhou.
After arriving in Jizhou, he did not immediately visit the church.
If the worship is to wait for an auspicious day.
The last auspicious day, three days later.
An Rong accompanied Xiao Jin'er to live in the Cui family's courtyard for two days.
In the past two days, An Rong has not been idle.
She was concocting the ointment, and the medicine she gave Cui Yao to treat the scars before had some effect on the treatment of Cui San's scars, but it was not very obvious.
An Rong personally looked at the scar and checked the pulse to ensure that the right medicine was prescribed.
The longer she stayed, the happier Xiao Jin'er became, and she even said that she was married to Jizhou and couldn't return to the door in three dynasties.
She wants An Rong to be her cousin-in-law, the so-called eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, even if it is her maiden family.
Let An Rong stay in Jizhou for a few more days, and when the time comes, she will come to see An Rong.
An Rong agreed with a smile at the time.
It's a pity that the plan can't catch up with the changes, An Rong didn't wait for Xiao Jin'er to return to the door, left a letter for Xiao Jin'er, got into the carriage, and took the four secret guards except Zhao Cheng out of Jizhou.
Zhao Cheng sat on the wheel, the carriage was rushing quickly, he turned around and asked, "Young grandma, the carriage is too bumpy, can you eat it?" ”
After Zhao Cheng asked, no one answered him.
Inside the carriage, there was a soft quilt, although it was shaking, but An Rong, who was asleep with his eyes closed, did not wake up.
Her brow furrowed.
Yingcheng, military camp.
Horse farm, outside the fence.
Xiao Zhan stood on horseback, sassy in the wind.
His brow was cold, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice.
In the distance, on the vast grass.
The war horses were upside down, foaming at the mouth.
The officers and soldiers took whips and whipped the war horses, and the war horses were blind, and they didn't even shake their tails, like dead pigs.
Those generals were anxious, looking at Xiao Zhan and said, "General, we don't have many war horses, and now half of them are sick and dead, and the remaining half are also in poor spirits, if the enemy takes the opportunity to attack, how should we deal with it?" ”
Xiao Zhan looked at the horse keeper who was kneeling on the ground trembling and asked, "Why didn't you report it when there was an abnormality in the war horse?" ”
Xiao Zhan's eyes were like ice blades, and the horse keeper raised his eyes to look at it, and his heart was as cold as if someone had stuffed ice cubes.
The general's eyes looked like he was about to cut him with a thousand knives.
The horse keeper's face turned white, beads of sweat the size of beans slipped from his forehead, and he trembled, "I just thought that the horse was bad, I didn't expect it to be so strict, and after only one night, the horse died so much." ”
As he spoke, two more horses fell to the ground in the distance.
Xiao Zhan's face sank like ice.
His hand holding the reins was clenched tightly, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were bulging.
At this moment, Xiao Zhan was already angry to the extreme.
If An Rong hadn't found out that there was something wrong with the horse farm, he wouldn't have known that hundreds of war horses had died!
Suddenly, Xiao Zhan's ears moved.
His face sank three points again.
As soon as he grabbed the horse's belly, the horse galloped away.
In the distance, there was the sound of war drums, and the more they spread, the more urgent they became.
Several generals looked at each other, their faces extremely ugly.
I didn't dare to delay, so I hurriedly turned over and got on the horse. (To be continued.) )
