Chapter 257: The concubine saves herself
Such a shame, what face does he have to stay here!
"Childe's ability to fool people has improved a lot." Granny Zhou smiled and nodded, with a kind face!
"Where, you still go from south to north, see more well-informed, and have more refined skills!" Lan Wan praised without hesitation.
The next day, there was another group of people behind the large team escorting grain and grass, and after the escort officer was stuffed with thousands of taels of silver by Zhou Qian, he simply turned a blind eye and ignored him!
Anyway, if something happens, there is the Zhou family on top, so he just don't lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.
Xi Jiangyue and Ah Sleeve also acted as the supervisors of escorting the grain and grass this time, and the two of them rode horses, pretending to be inspecting and went around the back.
"You guys go to the northwest all the way, you have to settle down, if you cause something for me, you can cut you directly, you know?" Xi Jiangyue cleared her throat and pretended to be fierce and roared.
Zhou Qian heard it in the carriage, directly lowered the curtain and hid.
The saint's person, he didn't dare to provoke, he folded his hands and prayed silently in his heart: "Guanwan, Guanwan, can you follow the words of Lord Xi, me."
But benevolence and righteousness have been exhausted! ”
"Don't worry, adults, small ones will save." Lan Wan lifted the curtain of the car and nodded with Xi Jiangyue.
"Grain and grass are related to the safety of the country, if you don't know it, don't follow behind the grain and grass brigade."
Zhou Qian was so frightened by this sudden reversal that he shrunk his body: It's not good, why did you go back again???
"In order to prevent the spies from sneaking up, you guys, open the way for me in front of the grain and grass brigade!" Xi Jiangyue read what he meant from Lan Wan's eyes, and immediately roared out in an even more vicious voice.
"My lord, there is danger ahead, you are not ...... You're not...... Let's go to the front and die? Lan Wan pretended to be very scared.
"What do you do with so much nonsense? Is a word going or not going? If you don't go, you will leave the grain and grass escort team for me. We soldiers defend our homeland and our country. There is no obligation to protect people with bad intentions. "Xi Jiangyue pretended to be on the same page as Lan Wan's people!
Zhou Qian listened in the carriage in horror, just hoping that Guan Wan and not asking him trouble afterwards.
The two were in a stalemate for a while, and finally Lan Wan pretended to be unwilling and ran to the front of the grain and grass escort team with the people and horses, and the matter was settled. The reason why Lan Wan wanted to act in such a scene was to prevent people from taking suspicion on herself.
Because...... Guan Wan...... It was brought in by Zhou Qian, the son of the Zhou family. Something's going on, of course, he has to be responsible, the saint's people have tried their best to give him face, and they have tried their best to maintain the grain and grass!
Lan Wan took this team of people who had been going back and forth with the Hexia Dynasty in the northwest all the year round, and rushed to the front of the grain and grass escort team.
In fact, there is another reason why she did this, because this team of officers and soldiers is experienced, and they can detect potential dangers around them one step ahead of these officers and soldiers, and reduce the time of delay on the road.
Moreover, he is deaf and clear-sighted, can hear farther and see farther, and naturally it is easier for him to find out if there is a hidden crisis around him.
As a result, after walking for a few days, everyone suddenly reacted, as if the grain and grass escort team was walking much faster than the first day it came out.
The general who escorted the grain and grass was surnamed Xue, and he had also become familiar with Lanqiao a lot in the past few days.
"Official, your team of men and horses has been traveling in the northwest and Hexia all the year round, and you have made a lot of money over the years." General Xue asked with a smile.
"The general laughed, but it's just money to earn his life to support his family, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning." Lan Wan waved her hand, pretending not to talk about it.
"Hello generals, serving the country is righteousness, unlike us who only struggle for petty profits!" Then, Lan Wan said with envy.
"The official son is too modest, your team of people, General Ben has secretly observed, they are all good hands, and they don't have a lot of money, where can they afford to raise them?" General Xue laughed, but there were other calculations in his eyes.
"The general said, the next foothold, there is a town, how about I invite the general to have a drink then?" Lan Wan naturally knew that this Xue general wanted to make money from herself.
Yesterday, he secretly heard that this General Xue had been talking to Zhou Qian for a long time!
"The official son is polite, General Ben doesn't drink alcohol during the march." General Xue pretended to be honest and said.
"As for talking about life ideals, the three good fortunes in life, and the like, General Ben is still very happy!" General Xue's gaze lingered on Lan Wan's body!
This General Xue is usually a veteran of Fengyue place, but he regrets going to the northwest so much that his intestines are green!
In that ghost place in the northwest, where is there a good girl, but I didn't expect that there would be a fair-skinned and beautiful boy on the road, and his heart, after Zhou Qian's provocation yesterday, suddenly became ready to move......
Lan Wan originally thought that what he liked was silver, but she didn't expect the gaze he glued to her to be so disgusting.
In an instant, she knew what General Xue was up to?
A murderous aura flashed through his eyes in an instant, so fast that it was difficult to capture.
"Wind and snow? I think it's very good! Lan Wan raised her eyes and smiled.
"Then let's say okay, the next town, this son will be the east, please have a drink with the general!" Lan Wan said.
"Haha, it's so good, the official son deserves to be a businessman, this eyesight is strong, it's really not to say." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, General Xue didn't mind elevating him a few words. Lan Wan pursed her lips and smiled, but in her heart she was already thinking about how to toss it in the next town, so as not to fill this general's mind with. Lan Wan let the people of the convoy speed up the pace, and finally came to a city when it was dark.
After waiting for the army to escort grain and grass to set up camp, General Xue and Zhou Qian came to Lan Wan's tent, and the three of them made an appointment to go to the town to have a good time tonight.
Lan Wan hated to leave the two of them in the mountains to feed the wolves, but at this moment she had an expectant expression on her face.
"It's not early, let's hurry into the city, rest in the flower building for the night, and come out early tomorrow, no one will find out." Zhou Qian has always been familiar with these things.
"Well, Zhou Gongzi's idea is good." General Xue nodded, these words simply went to his heart!
So, taking advantage of the night, the three of them got into a carriage and walked towards the city.
This town is not big, and there are only a few flower buildings in it, although it is not as magnificent as the imperial city, and the beauties are like clouds, but if you are hungry for a long time, how can you get down to the mouth!
After a few glasses of wine, Zhou Qian hugged the woman next to him and entered the room to fight, and only Lan Wan and General Xue were left outside, as well as the two Qinglou women who surrounded them.
"The official son's bearing is extraordinary, General Ben has admired you for a long time, and he came to drink this cup." General Xue had the intention of getting Lan Wan drunk.
He secretly drugged the wine, just waiting for him to drink the wine before he could enter the room for a good spring dinner.
came to the Qinglou, and after seeing these vulgar fans, General Xue looked forward to the official posture even more.
This kind of little trick naturally couldn't escape Lan Wan's eyes, and under the expectant gaze of General Xue, he slowly picked up the wine glass, watched his every move, and slowly poured the wine into his mouth.
General Xue's heart was like the wine in Lan Wan's hand, rippling slightly!
Seeing that he finally drank the wine, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
"The official son has a good amount of wine, let's come again! Again! Don't get drunk tonight. ”
Seeing that Lan Wan had finished drinking, General Xue immediately carried the wine jug next to him to fill Lan Wan's wine glass, so as not to be seen by him.
"General Xue, please!" Lan Wan replied.
"Official, please!" Anyway, Lan Wan had already drunk the wine, and General Xue was no longer worried, so he let go of his courage and drank with Lan Wan.
The two Qinglou women next to her, consciously bored, leaned aside and played a game.
In the middle of the night, General Xue was already a little drunk, but this half-drunk feeling made him even more appetizing to taste the flavor of the handsome boy opposite!
Seeing that the time was almost there, Lan Wan threw a large ingot of silver to the Qinglou woman next to her, and asked him to help General Xue into the room, and at the same time whispered a few words in the woman's ear.
When the woman heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, and she grabbed a large stack of silver tickets from Lan Wan's hand, and happily called the sisters in the building to do things together!
"Come here!" Lan Wan beckoned to the woman who was accompanying her.
"Tonight, you'll stay with me." Lan Wan stuffed a silver ticket to the woman.
When the woman saw the denomination on it, she was so happy that she wanted to put it on, but Lan Wan stretched out her hand to stop her.
"Just follow along, and don't do anything else." Lan Wan's eyes signaled.
"Yes, Childe!" The woman is also a woman who has read countless people, so she naturally understands that this son has a secret, and he only takes money and does not do anything, and this kind of good thing cannot be sought.
But in the face of such a handsome son, he is willing to ask her to stick to him.
The woman looked at Lan Wan's figure, and her face flushed slightly.
"Childe rest assured. Slave Province! The woman saluted and led Lan Wan to the next room.
It didn't take long for the sound of blushing and heartbeat in the next room, it was very enjoyable at first, but when it came to the back, I heard General Xue's angry scolding and screams of insufficient strength!
Lan Wan held hot tea, her slender figure reflected on the window, a light smile hung on the corner of her mouth, and she couldn't help but snort coldly in her heart: "This Zhou Qian really doesn't have a long memory, why did he forget what happened in the prince's mansion so quickly?" Sure enough, stupid people naturally have stupid reasons, and it is too simple to bully! ”
Early the next morning, Lan Wan returned to the brigade escorting the grain early.
As a result, when the team was about to set off, they found that General Xue, the grain and grass escort officer, was gone, and the little son of the Zhou family also disappeared without a trace!
Xi Jiangyue naturally knew where they went last night, and those who wanted to fight the idea of the saint naturally had to die.
So, Xi Jiangyue looked for it in the team with great fanfare, and the whole thing quickly spread throughout the team.
Later, General Xue was carried back by Hualou's thugs, accompanied by Zhou Qian, who had a bitter face.
According to the army's doctor's inspection: General Xue is overworked, and I am afraid that he will not be able to get up in a short time!
As a subordinate of the Holy Maiden, Xi Jiangyue immediately jumped out, presided over the overall situation, and reported this matter to the imperial court clearly, and at the same time led the overall situation, and continued to move forward with the grain and grass escort brigade!
Zhou Qian sat in the carriage, and next to him lay General Xue.
General Xue's now spiritless appearance is so similar to his former cousin of the crown prince!
Zhou Qian realized it later: Guan Wan is the hall master of the Phantom Moon Gate, how can he get by? It's like throwing yourself into a pit!
The escort brigade was not coerced by General Xue, and the travel time was much faster.
On this day, the weather was gloomy, and Lan Wan accompanied a person who was particularly able to observe the weather.
He hit his horse and returned to Lan Wan's side, "Young Master, we can't move forward today!" ”
"What's going on?" Lan Wan asked.
They had had lunch, and they had traveled not far, and it was too much of a waste of time to stop at this time, and she needed a clear reason.
"Young master, I have been to this place quite a bit, this area is deserted, and there are often sandstorms coming down from the north. Looking at this gloomy weather, we should have caught up with the sandstorm period, and we must immediately find a place to camp, otherwise when the sandstorm comes, I am afraid that we will lose too much. The man judged by his years of experience.
