After drilling in the dense forest for a month, I finally arrived at Panyu City, the seat of Nanhai County.

However, Li Xiaofei and his subordinates were all blocked outside Panyu City, and a team of soldiers was sent to stop them and check them.

"You said you were the county guard of the South China Sea appointed by the imperial court? What credentials do you have? ”

"Li has an edict written by the emperor and a large seal given by Qin!"

"Now the emperor is a bit much, we don't know which emperor you sent from, a yellow cloth and a stone want to enter this Nanhai County, it's too beautiful!"

"We were sent by Emperor Liu Jian of the Great Liang, please inform us!" Li Xiaofei still said without humility or arrogance

"I don't know if this is true or fake, you can wait!"

"What are we waiting for here?"

"Wait for the mood of the adults, the adults lost the fishing competition with the old prince Chen today, and they are in a bad mood, and they will come to see you when he is in a good mood!"

"Old Lord Chen? May I ask who is Old Prince Chen? ”

"I think you are really ignorant, most of them are pretending, the world-famous Chen Hongyi Chen Lao General, was named the king of Anguo County, you don't even know this?"

"Go and help me report to Old Prince Chen, just say that Li Xiaofei has come to visit him" As he spoke, he took out a few gold leaves that had been hidden in his arms for a long time and handed them to the city guard

The city guards all looked straight, the person in front of him was in tattered clothes, claiming to be sent by the imperial court, but he was able to take out a few gold leaves, it was definitely not simple.

"Okay, okay, I'll go and report it right away, come here, move a bench for a few people to wait in the gazebo!"

As he spoke, the city guard waved his hand, and the soldiers went to fetch a lot of melons and fruits and handed them to the ragged people outside the city.

"Erzhuzi, it's you, you're back!"

"Third Grandfather, I'm the second dog, don't you know me anymore?"

When the two sides got closer, they realized that most of them were relatives, so they talked very happily, and before the city defenders reported their return, the soldiers defending the city were already about to drag them into the city to repair.

"Don't go into the city, wait for them to come back and allow us to enter the city!" Li Xiaofei hurriedly stopped them

"Old Lord Chen! Someone came from the capital with soldiers and horses, saying that they wanted to see you! ”

"Shhhh

"What kind of bastard is here, I just got a fish bite and was scared away by you! Rain on someone's parade! Chen Wen said angrily with a shy stomach

"Awen, don't worry! The gold you lost to me today, someone will give it to you! Chen Hongyi touched his beard and smiled

"Who is here to dare to alarm the old prince?" Chen Wen put down the fishing rod and asked

"Lord Qiyu, the person who came called himself Li Xiaofei came from the capital Xiangyang!"

Chen Hongyi also put down the fishing rod: "Who do you say is coming?" Say it again? ”

The city guard was a little frightened, and stammered: "Li, Li Xiaofei!" ”

"Haha, this kid is actually here, okay, hurry up, Awen, stop fishing, let's pick up my apprentice together!"

Chen Wen saw that Chen Hongyi was so excited, and naturally knew that the weight of the person who came was not light, so he also threw the fishing rod and got up.

Along the way, Chen Hongyi asked Li Xiaofei about the situation, and after learning that Li Xiaofei and his party were in rags, Chen Hongyi looked at Chen Wen: "You, the county Sima, do you want to bring some clothes and food to treat them?" ”

Chen Wen immediately ordered: "Come on, go to the treasury to get 4,000 sets of clothes, 5,000 stones of grain and grass, and then sort out the Beidaying to receive them!" ”

The group came to the city gate in an ox cart, and Li Xiaofei saw Chen Hongyi sitting on the cart from a distance and immediately knelt down

When Chen Hongyi arrived at the door, he jumped down and picked up Li Xiaofei

"Bad apprentices meet their mentors!"

"Don't come to this! Hurry up, Lord Sima Chen Wen has already brought you clothes, grain and grass, and your station is also being sorted out! ”

Li Xiaofei's eyes were full of tears, and Chen Hongyi reached out to wipe his tears: "I'm almost thirty years old, what are you crying about!" ”

The soldiers behind Li Xiaofei all knelt down: "Chen Dashuai!" We're back! ”

Chen Hongyi fixed his eyes and saw that they were all soldiers from Lingnan: "Good sons and daughters of the South China Sea! I, Old Man Chen, ran back alone to enjoy the blessings and left you in the north, I'm sorry for you."

"Chen Dashuai is mighty! Following Chen Dashuai is the glory of our life! ”

"Chen Dashuai is mighty!"

Chen Hongyi signaled several times, but the crowd still shouted, so he had to let them go

After a while, dozens of ox carts came with clothes in tow, and Chen Hongyi asked Chen Wen to come to the army to give orders for the distribution of clothes.

Chen Wen coughed a few times: "Ahem, ahem, well, all the sons and daughters of the South China Sea, you have suffered, you have received and worn these clothes first, and in a few days, we will send you some more from the Nanhai County Treasury!" ”

The soldiers quieted down and remained silent, only looking at Li Xiaofei and Chen Hongyi

Chen Hongyi laughed: "Don't bear it, hurry, one person, line up, come one by one, lead one into the city!" ”

After Chen Hongyi finished speaking, the soldiers automatically lined up to receive their clothes and slowly entered the city.

Li Xiaofei wanted to speak and stopped, Chen Hongyi laughed: "Do you kid think that this dress is not suitable for you, the county guard!" ”

Li Xiaofei blushed and pointed to the two people not far away: "Master, my two wives are also here, and it is not appropriate for them to wear this man's clothes!" ”

"Haha, you kid, you are not shallow, and you still take your wife with you wherever you go. Arwen, send someone to buy a few sets of women's clothes, the best looking kind! Chen Hongyi turned his head to Chen Wen and said

Chen Hongyi ordered, Chen Wen naturally did it immediately, and after a while, someone hurriedly brought a few dresses.

Hongrui and Murong Qing directly put the new skirt on their bodies and bowed their heads to meet Chen Hongyi

Chen Hongyi giggled: "Two little girls, what a stupid girl, following this stupid boy to travel thousands of miles and suffer!" But the old man has delicacies and treasures here, and when you spend half a month to recuperate, the old man will treat you well."

Murong Qing asked puzzledly: "Why do you have to wait for half a month to eat the food of the old prince's family, isn't it today?" ”

Li Xiaofei wanted Murong Qing to speak, but Hongrui smiled: "Sister, there is a lot of seafood in the South China Sea, but we have never eaten it, and if we eat it rashly, we will definitely not be able to bear it, we have to do it slowly and gradually!" ”

"This red girl is really knowledgeable, Xiaofei, let's go to the city! There are still long days to come! ”

There were already several ox carts waiting here, and Chen Wen's entourage invited Li Xiaofei and the others into the ox carts and began to march towards the county guard's mansion.

Chen Wen's ox cart led the way in the front, followed by Chen Hongyi, followed by Li Xiaofei and several lieutenants in the army.

In front of the county guard's mansion, many handymen were sprinkling and sweeping, and the pedestrians on the road had already stopped.

After all, no one has been here in this county guard for many years, and Chen Wen is in his own manor when he handles official business.

When Chen Wen led them into the county guard's mansion, two wild cats were chasing the rats on the roof, scattering a few tiles.

Chen Hongyi pointed to the house that was still tinkering and said, "I'm afraid this place hasn't been used for forty years, Xiaofei, you and the two girls are going to suffer!" ”

"Master, where are you! You and Lord Jun Sima have worked hard and broken the cost, Xiaofei is grateful! Li Xiaofei spoke, stretching out towards Hongrui

Stretching out his fingers, Hongrui took out dozens of gold beads from his baggage and handed them to Chen Wen.

"The county keeper can't help this, cleaning and repairing the county guard mansion is originally my duty, and if I don't do things effectively, the lord has not punished him, how dare I receive the adult's reward" Chen Wen said while pushing

Chen Hongyi grabbed Chen Wen: "Awen, you and Xiaofei are both my juniors, don't make a show, you just accept it!" ”

As soon as he heard Chen Hongyi's words, Chen Wen held the gold beads with both hands, and Li Xiaofei also smiled: "It's ugly in front of the Chen family!" This is just a little bit of my heart, Xiao Fei has just arrived in the South China Sea, and his life and daily official affairs all depend on Master and Master Junma."

Chen Hongyi patted Li Xiaofei's head: "You kid is putting our Chen family on the stove!" We're not as scary as you think! Okay, today, Awen, a subordinate, will be the east, and he will pick up the wind and wash the dust for the county guard Lord Li. The soldiers will go home to visit their relatives for ten days from now on, and the camp will be sorted out ten days later! ”

Chen Hongyi directly arranged everything, and Li Xiaofei naturally agreed immediately: "It's still the master who is thoughtful, it just so happens that I'm hungry too, Lord County Sima, we're going to your house for dinner!" ”

Chen Hongyi stopped Li Xiaofei: "Wait, I just suggest that you have to send someone to give this order, otherwise the rules will be broken!" ”

Li Xiaofei just wanted to say something humble, but Chen Hongyi continued: "In this Nanhai City, Lord Li is the biggest!" You've all remembered! ”

You are obviously talking about this to Chen Wen and the rest of the Chen family, it seems that Chen Hongyi really supports Li Xiaofei.

When Li Xiaofei heard this, he took his token and said to Hua Xiaoan: "Hua Xiaoan, you go and give an order, let the soldiers go home to visit their relatives during the ten-day holiday, and report to the Beidaying camp in ten days!" ”

Hua Xiaoan took the token and went to herald, and the more than 2,900 people who followed Li Xiaofei back, hearing the news, called Lord Li mighty.

They thought they could only go home for two or three days, but they didn't expect Li Xiaofei to give them ten days of vacation.

After thanking each other, they packed their bags and went home.

Chen Wen led Chen Hongyi and Li Xiaofei to his own manor, on the way, Li Xiaofei saw a lot of waterwheels and windmills standing, and many people were cutting grass and digging the ground, it seemed that this place was very stable.

Chen Wen's manor is actually not large, but there are several circles of fences, and many flowers are planted between the fences, and some fruit trees are separated from each other.

The most central three-story civil engineering round building is Chen Wen's residence.

There were four wells in the courtyard, but in the center was an empty patio, and it was getting late, and a crescent moon was reflected in the patio and the four wells.

Chen Wen's dinner was arranged in the open space outside the round building, and the servants were busy arranging the tables, chairs, and carpets, and began to serve the food again.

Because he had instructed Li Xiaofei and a few others to not eat seafood in the past few days, they only made roast suckling pig, steamed goose, bird's nest porridge, crab claw porridge, braised chicken, fried loach, crucian carp soup and a few other things.

Chen Wen personally brought a large pot of rice wine: "Lord Li, this is the best wine in our Lingnan, not as strong as the Central Plains!" Please don't dislike it, Lord Li! ”

Li Xiaofei took the rice wine and put it on the table: "Lord Sima is too polite!" It's just that Li has made a heavy oath, not to drink a drop of wine, and please Haihan! ”

Chen Hongyi smiled: "I thought that when you arrived in the South China Sea, you would have to disobey the foreign king's life!" Haha, yes, I remember the oath I made in front of the emperor! Awen, this rice wine will be handed over to the two girls! ”

Hongrui and Murong Qing were not polite, took the rice wine brought by the servant and drank it

After drilling in the mountains for a month, today I was finally able to eat a decent meal, as well as this rice wine, this meal was devoured, and it almost scared Chen Wen.
