Chapter 226: Unexpected
Lu Ning personally carried a bucket to bring water from the river, lit a fire and used a big iron pot to boil water for the three women, there was only one wooden bucket, and only the three of them could use it in turn.
Jiao Cailian and the others wanted to help, but Lu Ning said with a smile, don't touch the wood with your delicate little hands, it's not good if it becomes rough.
But Jiao Cailian didn't dare to be idle, squatting beside Lu Ning and fanning Lu Ning.
The cooking pot was near two small simple tents in the tea forest, and the tent was also brightened by the firelight.
Looking at the small marching tent, Lu Ning's heart fluttered, and he remembered that the little queen of Luo Dian and Lan Chan were also crowded in this kind of small tent of the same style.
And the two simple small tents, it is also obvious that it is difficult to squeeze three people into the tent, so it is to sleep one with Su Xiaoxiao, and one with Jiao Cailian and Mrs. Hua Rui.
The little girl, obviously understands this, this trip, as if to come to spend a honeymoon with her, she is a little shy, her little face is red, hugging her knees, a pair of bare snow-white feet in the clogs, restless movement, and dare not look in her direction.
Glancing at this cute and beautiful little girl in a tender yellow gauze skirt, Lu Ning's heart was also soft and sweet, thinking that she was about to become her own woman, and even in the future, she might give birth to her own blood, which made her feel more warm.
However, Lu Ning sighed in his heart, but unfortunately, it won't work tonight.
That Baisha Village, naturally has sent a letter to Gongcheng, I am afraid that tonight, Gongcheng military horses will arrive, it was a very beautiful thing, if it was interrupted halfway, it would be too disappointing.
Only, wait.
β¦β¦
However, Lu Ning stood next to the tea forest for a night, but he didn't want to, and there was no Gongcheng people to harass him.
It wasn't until the third pole of the day, and it was nearly noon, that a few fast horses ran sparsely on the official road.
Lu Ning was on fire.
Cao Bin had already led his soldiers to line up, hundreds of soldiers, three squads of spearmen, three squads of archers, and four squads of crossbowmen.
I have long known that there are 500 Yue cavalry stationed in this Gongcheng, and Lu Ning is also ready, and he is ready to use a capital of soldiers to break 500 Yue cavalry.
The Yue cavalry, as the name suggests, came from the Protectorate of Annam, and during the conquest of Huangchao, this kind of cavalry from the southern tribe of Annam appeared on the stage of history.
Today's Yue cavalry of the Southern Han Dynasty is the descendant of the Yue cavalry of the year, and also uses the name of the ancestors, which is a unique cavalry of the Southern Han Dynasty, of course, the number is not much.
However, Gongcheng this tea town is located on the border, but there are not a few tea produced every year, yes, the Han lord specially in this Gongcheng, stationed five hundred Yue cavalry, now the commander of this armed force is the Han State cavalry captain Wang Shengbao.
As a five-grade military attachΓ©, he led a cavalry stationed at the border, and this Wang Shengbao, not surprisingly, was also castrated.
In his previous life, Lu Ning's rumors that this kind of castration of the Southern Han Dynasty could be reused were just jokes, where could there be such a ridiculous thing.
It must be deliberately smeared by later generations.
But now, I can only smile bitterly, this Han lord Liu Gang is really a wonderful, those who are willing to be castrated in order to be an official are also wonderful, where is the need for such a country to exist?
"Excuse me, which Qi official is here?" Several horses on the other side had already stopped, looking at the dress, there were officials, there were officials, and the officials headed by them gave up their hands on the horses.
"Who are you?!" Cao Bin shouted.
"Liu Bo, the county lieutenant of Gongcheng." The official hesitated for a moment, but finally dismounted, perhaps thinking that the distance was still safe, and even if the other party broke out, he would have enough time to get on his horse and escape.
Lu Ning was a little helpless at this time, but he still underestimated the patience of the civil and military generals of the Han Kingdom, and the Qi army entered the country with swagger, what about the five hundred Yue horses? If you don't come, are you afraid of being ambushed?
Moreover, send a small county lieutenant to negotiate.
Cao Bin snorted coldly: "Cao Bin, the head of the forbidden army of Qi State, you go back and tell Gongcheng County and Wang Shengbao that the tea villages in Leshui East have been attached to this dynasty, and from now on they will be under the jurisdiction of Fuchuan Town. β
Liu Bo was stunned, "This, this is not very good, right?" β
Cao Bin rolled his eyes, he couldn't say some imposing words again, and he didn't expect that the other party was neither angry nor fiercely retorted, but came up with such a sentence.
For a while, Cao Bin didn't know how to continue.
"Just go back and inform Wang Shengbao!" Cao Bin snorted.
"Good, good! Ladies and gentlemen, I take my leave! Liu Bo bowed.
...... walking slowly, Cao Bin almost responded subconsciously, and then waved his fist vigorously, only feeling so unlucky.
Turning his head, he caught a glimpse of the General Wen Yuan also looking helplessly at the Lingnan County Lieutenant, he gritted his teeth, "My lord, do you want to catch him and cut off his head." β
"Forget it." Lu Ning waved his hand, "Shut down, but don't be careless, continue to be vigilant." β
"Yes!" Cao Bin responded.
β¦β¦
Back in the tea forest, Lu Ning felt like a body of strength, used on cotton, originally planned to defeat the Han Yue cavalry in one fell swoop, and also show the people of Baisha Village the military might of the Qi army.
"For the record, today's Han State only sent Liu Bo, the lieutenant of Gongcheng County, to negotiate." To Jiao Cailian, who came in a hurry, Lu Ning made a gesture.
Jiao Cailian was busy recording, there was no table, so she could only squat down, put the paper on her knees, and roughly write down the brush with a brush, and then go back and tidy it up.
"Also, you will tell Madame Hua Rui later, she can send a letter to Xuanchengbo, just say that I am starting to get a little angry, but you have managed to persuade me."
Jiao Cailian was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the words of her and Mrs. Hua Rui had been heard by the General Academy of Literature, and she was busy and cautious.
After thinking about it, Lu Ning said again: "If you tell her again, just say that I will also promise to send a letter to Bianjing, and ask them to take care of Xuancheng Uncle and not let people bully him." β
Jiao Cailian nodded hurriedly, "Madame must be happy...... and then felt that something was wrong, doesn't this mean that Concubine Hui still has affection for the Lord of Shu? I wanted to phrase it, but I didn't know what to say for a while.
Lu Ning sighed, "Now I feel like I'm a big villain." β
Jiao Cailian was stunned, she didn't dare to speak, and this was the first time that the General Academy of Literature had felt something in front of her, so she didn't dare to say more.
"You've been in this outfit since you changed, but it's quite pleasing to the eye." Lu Ning looked Jiao Cailian up and down, smiled and said.
Indeed, because the curve of her pretty face is not so soft, Jiao Cailian may be more suitable for wearing modern clothes, snow-white clothes and trousers, clogs, which looks very gorgeous and colorful, with exquisite temperament, and a beautiful bun like flowers, she is a retro-style beautiful female secretary in later generations.
Of course, she has been quite reliable recently, and there may be psychological reasons for seeing her pleasing to the eye.
"Slaves don't dare to ......" Jiao Cailian's heart was overjoyed, but she didn't dare to move her face.
Lu Ning smiled and walked towards the tea forest.
