Lu Ning didn't want to go back to his residence, when Huang Baoyi was there, he still felt at home, but now there are four women in his residence, a ninja witch with ill intentions, a gloomy woman with an unclear origin who seems to have hatred in her heart, and two girls who have nothing to do but have shaved heads to become monks, which really makes people feel like some kind of eerie demon cave.

But after all, you can't never go back.

After separating from Bai Paozi's family, he went to the palace again, and after choosing a few strong men to advise, Lu Ning returned to the "Mansion of Qi Wu".

……

On the banks of the verdant bamboo forest, the wind blew and there was a hunting sound.

Nine pawns and twenty Ezo pawns sat neatly in two columns, and on the table in front of them were some candy from Qi State.

This kind of luxury ornament, which can only be enjoyed by the wealthy class in Daqi, is naturally not food for coaxing children nowadays, but a rare reward.

It was the Holy Emperor who personally issued an order to allocate some sugar to reward the front-line soldiers.

In Dongying, there are similar foods with very strong sugar, such as Su Mi, but even the ministers can not have it if they want to eat it, usually major sacrificial ceremonies and so on, so that this thing can be made, and the ministers can feast their tongues.

It is difficult for future generations to imagine that when people today taste this high-sugar food, the rare stimulation that your brain tells you is the supreme delicious feeling.

The autumn wind is blowing, it is already late autumn, and there are not a few days before the beginning of winter.

Lu Ning looked at the soldiers left and right, and felt a little emotional in his heart, in a blink of an eye, he had been in Dongying for nine months, and he was really a little homesick in his heart.

But with them, there is no common language, nine northern tribe soldiers, now their wives are all locals, twenty Ezo soldiers, although from Hokkaido, but they also lack the concept of home, can eat every day, for them, is the greatest happiness, Hokkaido Ezo living environment needless to say, every Ezo child from birth, is struggling for the right to live.

Sighing in his heart, Lu Ning smiled and waved his hand: "Let's enjoy it!" ”

Ma Dashan couldn't wait, and immediately grabbed the honey on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Long live the Holy Emperor Grandpa!" Some people burst into tears of excitement, I don't know if they were stimulated by candy, or if they were really moved by the grace of the Son of Heaven.

The Ezo slaves didn't dare to shout, but from their intoxicated expressions, they knew what kind of enjoyment this delicacy brought them.

Lu Ning and the others were given the same amount, ten thin slices of honey, a pound of preserved fruit, and a bag of brown sugar weighing about two taels.

Of course, this pound of preserved fruit is not the so-called secret system, that is, the kind that adds a lot of sugar, basically relying on the sugar of the fruit itself, and retaining the sugar when it is made into a semi-dry product, so that it is sour or sweet, only look at the fruit itself.

"Merchant from Shinano Country...... "Lu Ning originally wanted to talk about the current situation, but after looking at these soldiers, the words behind him swallowed back into his stomach, they are not Yu Linwei beside him, they don't have that talent, and they don't need to understand the surrounding situation at all, when they encounter a battle, they just go to the battlefield with their eyes closed.

Nowadays, Kai Province, which is adjacent to Musashi Province, has a lot of mountainous land and little arable land, so there are no special people to pay attention to, but in the northern part of Kai Province, Shinano Province, which is closely connected by a short border with Musashi Province, needs special attention.

Because after Shinano Province was also specially designated as Zhixing Province in Kyoto, Shinano Kunishun was replaced, and the new Shinano Kunemun was called Taira Weishige, who was the adopted son of the famous Taira general Taira Sadamori who killed the "Taira Shomon" rebellion in Pingding, and was also an extremely powerful figure, and was known as "Yugo General" by the world.

When he arrived in Shinano, Kyoto used Shinano as the first line of defense against the westward invasion of the Qi people.

And in this Omiya Town, there are also merchants from Shinano Province, Lu Ning has ordered Wang Shengzhong to buy a royal merchant who was originally the Shinano State Guard, and after Taira Weimao took office, the status of the merchant plummeted, and this will come to the business.

But these, it seems that there is no need for Madashan to say more.

……

Lu Ning took the candy bag back to the backyard, but saw that under the cherry blossom tree, Zhendong Ji, who was wearing a white shirt and a red skirt and a witch skirt, was pacing with a small flower umbrella, which was very poetic.

It is not common to see the cherry blossom tree of the present-day Toei, and this cherry blossom tree was naturally transplanted by the Musashi family when they built the Secret Bath Museum.

Lu Ning walked over and handed her the candy, "Turn back, you guys have a few points." "Compared with the gloomy Kyoko who doesn't know the origin, and the two Dongying princesses Xiaodou sprouts, although this real Dongji may have been trained by her father to be able to assassinate and show her talents, but after all, her origin is clear and she can communicate clearly.

Madong Ji took it and bowed slightly, "Lord Xie Ban! After hesitating, he said softly: "Master Ban, in the past few days, people have often come to peep here, as if to find out your work and rest rules, I am worried that someone wants to assassinate you." ”

Lu Ning bowed slightly, not to mention Ezo, Ma Shan and the others, in the case of this complicated situation without a clear enemy, vigilance, etc., are naturally not sensitive enough, and they are not as careful as Zhendong Ji, and moreover, Zhendongji should have received training such as assassination.

As for those who want to assassinate themselves? Needless to say, the Musashi family is the most suspicious.

Although they swallowed their anger at their own entry into Omiya Town, after all, there was a Qi army brigade in the Edo area dozens of miles away, and the Musashi family didn't want to provoke an unwarranted disaster by openly fighting against them.

However, after Shinano Province was led by Taira Yushige, the hardliners of the Musashi family would inevitably feel that the opportunity had come, and their own national division Minamoto Manji colluded with the Qi people, and they inevitably went to Heihiro Yushige to contact and plot to drive out the Qi people here.

Of course, observing the rules of one's own work and rest does not necessarily mean that he has sharpened his blade and is waiting to assassinate himself, but bad intentions are certain.

Glancing at Zhen Dong Ji, Lu Ning smiled and said, "Your father, you are trained how to kill?" If you face the enemy, can you defend yourself? ”

Zhen Dongji was stunned, this was the first time that Lu Ning had become interested in her.

Hesitating, Madong Ji lowered her head slightly: "Lord Ban, my father did intend to dedicate me to Lord of the General Academy, but he did not want to be unfavorable to Lord of the General Academy, and now, I will not be unfavorable to Lord Ban." It's just that I couldn't complete the task given to me by my father, and it made the two palace ladies unhappy, and my father wanted to come, so he didn't pay attention to Zhendong anymore! As he spoke, there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

These words still avoided the question of what skills she would have, and obviously, she was still fortified against the "class master".

But her faint sadness is not a fake, originally her father wanted to send her to the Qi General Hospital, to get closer to the Qi General Hospital, and at the same time she could help her father speak well in front of the Qi people, so that her father's ambition to revive the prestige of the orange clan went smoothly.

However, she offended the concubine of the lord of the main courtyard, and was directly rewarded to a small team leader, and her father worked hard to put it into the water, and he was very disappointed in her, that is, he didn't bother to pay attention to her, after all, in the eyes of Tachibana Zhongren, this daughter may be just a tool.

This is also the norm of Dongying from the royal family to the secretary of state now, daughters have always been political tools, including, the royal daughter who was appointed to serve the gods on behalf of the royal family, how can she not be a political tool?

Looking at Zhen Dong Ji, Lu Ning nodded and said with a smile: "You may not be able to complete the task, can't I speak for your father in front of the General Academy?" ”

Zhen Dongji was stunned, a little speechless, she had never chatted with this "class master" like this today, but according to her observation, this "class master" did not please the general academy of literature, and she had never seen the general academy of literature see him in private, so he could not be said to be a henchman of the general academy of literature at all.

Moreover, he has been stationed in the most dangerous places, and he is obviously cannon fodder such as daredevils, and he belongs to the kind with simple minds and developed limbs.

And the captured women were all sent to him, and it can only be said that the two palace ladies are jealous and poisonous, so they sent the women who might be valued by the General Court of Culture to this lowest-ranking officer with a very ugly face and a lot of shame, so that the General Court of Literature completely lost interest.

However, it seems that the Wen Zongyuan has a weak personality and is very afraid of his wife and concubines, which is similar to some sissy ministers in Kyoto.

And looking at this "class adult", I thought that the General Academy of Literature was so close to him.

Zhen Dong Ji suddenly felt a little sad, this man, afraid of the current Wen Academy, hated him very much, but he was quiet, just let him perform the most dangerous mission, and unknowingly gave him his life.

But he didn't know that he was so loyal, he was afraid that on the day he died in a bloody battle, he was still thinking about the good of the officials.

How sad is that?

And he is so similar to himself.

It's just that his father knows that he is using him, but he can't hate it, but he longs for his approval and wants to be a useful child in his eyes.

Sighing softly, Zhen Dongji walked to Lu Ning's side and held up a flower umbrella for Lu Ning, "Master Ban, go back to the mother's house to rest." "The mother's house is the living room of the main house.

Lu Ning bowed slightly, "Okay." ”
