Today, in the next three points, Tule is located in the Western Regions, but the north and the south are only small countries.

Emperor Yang of the former dynasty was mediocre, the hussar general Tuoba protected the mouth and belly honey sword, let people be treacherous, poisoned Emperor Yang in the inner court, supported his young son as the emperor, and then intended to abolish the lord and stand on his own, Emperor Taizu raised troops in Jinyang to capture Chang'an and then supported the lord, Tuoba was defeated and went to the far north, and built the capital in Chengle.

Half a year later, Emperor Taizu deposed the young lord and established himself as the emperor, and the capital was Chang'an.

Later, the border conflicts between the two countries continued, and the Emperor Taishang ordered the King of Qin to go north and recover Youzhou, Yongzhou and other places in one fell swoop, and the northern country became a corner.

The army of the king of Qin was unstoppable, and when the unification was imminent, the emperor ordered the army to pull out the camp and retreat to Yongzhou, and the middle should be unknown to the world, so now the northern country is small but it is still the country of the Tuoba clan.

This line of several days, Tao Tao is in high spirits, often to Cai Ling to explain the history and humanities of the north, Cai Ling only when he is a storyteller, when he rests in the wine shop, drinking hot tea, eating peanuts, watching him dance hand in hand, the excitement will be dripping.

Meng Meng sat aside, with a moth brow and a clever smile.

Speaking of the original battle with the King of Qin in the north, that is, from the seat, foaming at the mouth, he said with great interest: "Your Majesty made a military order saying that the soldiers are noble and fast, Yongzhou is not broken, and the division will not be returned, and those who dare to speak out about the class will be killed." After passing through the world of thieves, they are all galloping, wrapped in grain and armor, but their lives are from ......"

The smile slowly froze on his face, and the rest could not be heard, it turned out that when he heard his story, a piece of his heart would still ache faintly, but for a few days, the thoughts rolled in like the water that broke the embankment.

It's lunchtime, is he a diner? Or are the two sitting opposite each other in front of the window? Or if he doesn't think about eating, does the newly transferred female court official know how to persuade him?

"Jiang Shao!" Seeing her frowning, Tao Tao immediately stepped forward and patted her on the back.

"It's okay, I'll come when I go." Suddenly I wanted to wash my face with water, so I walked to the brook behind the house.

Wildflowers bloomed all over his feet, flowing water was trickling, and most of the depression in his heart instantly disintegrated.

"Suffer death." The man in black approached suddenly, and she dodged, and the man was agile, grabbing her arms with one hand and choking her throat with the other.

"Come out, Jinghe. Don't hide. Holding back the pain, she said in a hoarse voice.

The woman who flashed out of the haystack wore a dark purple suit, a towering round bun, and a three-point childishness in her brutality, "I know that this princess is secretly following, but I don't know how to restrain myself, she is really a shameless slut." ”

Cai Ling exerted a little effort, broke free from the control of the man in black, and patted the dusty dress, "You know very well that my trip is to do things on the orders of Yi, and I can't kill them, but I just sent people to intimidate, I really don't care about the severity!" “

"You!" Jing He was so angry that he stomped his feet, "I dare to insult this princess." ”

"What if I scolded you?" Cai Ling raised her eyebrows and smiled, and the woman in black was about to slash with a palm, and the clouds flashed out, and the woman was taken down in two rounds.

"Shen Duyun!" Tao Tao rushed to hear the sound and called his name, "Please respect yourself." “

Jinghe was about to cry, "You actually yelled at Princess Ben for this slut." Immediately, he said bitterly, "The northern country is frozen, and there are many jackals, tigers and leopards, and this princess is not worried about you going, so follow along the way, and protect more, you are not grateful." ”

"This official acts in his own way, and it is not the turn of the eldest princess to teach." Tao Tao dragged Cai Ling behind him, "Please leave as soon as possible, don't force this official to play Your Majesty, it won't end well!" “

"You ......" Jing He's hands trembled with anger, and the black-clothed guard beside her gently tugged at her sleeve, which was counted as a reminder, but Jing He was extremely angry but didn't argue anymore, and only said to Cai Ling, "You'd better not die in the northern country!" Come back and this princess will give you a good look! “

After Jinghe and his entourage rushed away angrily, facing Tao Tao's apologetic look, Cai Ling smiled and said, "You are all too young, so you plan to drag it like this?" “

"yes!" Tao Tao frowned, "Ben Shao is also under a lot of pressure, my father has repeatedly persecuted, if it weren't for this opportunity to get out of the palace for a few months, I'm afraid Ben Shao would have to marry that in a few days." ”

"The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, after returning from the north, don't you need to marry?" Cai Ling smiled bitterly.

"It's dragged on day by day." Tao Tao was unprecedentedly sad, "Although my father has tens of thousands of soldiers, after all, the court is weak, if he can marry the eldest princess, he can gather some henchmen, so he will not be worried." “

"If Jinghe is sincere to you, what about the? Even if it's a, you can make her a bird, right? Cai Ling joked, the court is treacherous and difficult to distinguish, who doesn't want to find more support, Tao Tao is finally no longer the young man who doesn't care about anything.

Several people traveled for a few more days, crossed the Yanmen Pass, and arrived in Yongzhou through Youzhou, where goose feathers and heavy snow had fallen.

Tao Tao bought a few furs in Yongzhou, exchanged for two carriages, met privately with Yongzhou Mu in the mountains and valleys, held a brocade book, and changed his identity to be the second son of the Song family in Yong'an City, west of Youzhou, also known as Cai Ling as the eldest sister, Meng Meng as the younger sister, and Manyun and the guards as the family members.

"The Yongan Song family has been a pottery merchant for generations, and now what do I want to go to Huaiyuan County?" Fifty miles away from the gate of Yongzhou is the territory of the northern country, and in the carriage, Tao Tao asked.

Earlier, Cai Ling learned that Yuan Jie was left in Yongzhou to do business, but he was nowhere to be found in the city for two days, and he was anxious and could not hear Tao Tao's words.

"We went to Peach Blossom Valley in Huaiyuan County to buy clay." Meng Meng has been in a good mood recently, answering first, as far as the eye can see, stacked mountains and rivers, wrapped in silver.

After walking for another fifty miles, I came to a towering city gate, and the word "Huaiyuan" was written on the plaque.

When the soldiers came, Tao Tao sent the brocade book and gave a hundred taels of silver, since someone welcomed them into the city, the building in the city is exquisite, the layout is reasonable, eight streets and nine mo, prosperous and lively.

The people who came greeted them directly to the government, and Zhang Xianling bowed down to greet them, "I have long admired the name of Yong'an Song Mansion, and I am fortunate to see the second son today. Who are these two? “

"My eldest sister Song Lingling, little sister Song Mengling." The pottery surface does not change color.

"I never expected Miss Song Mansion to come to us together." Zhang Xianling turned his worries into joy, "This official has a daughter, who is exactly the same age as the young ladies, so it is good to let her lead the young ladies around." “

"There is Lord Lao County." Tao Tao gave up.

"Song Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, if the official's daughter can walk around with you and other nobles more, and hide in the deep mountains and old forests all day long, the official will thank the young ladies of the son." The county magistrate shook his head.

Cai Ling was listening energetically and wanted to ask what happened, but Zhang Xianling asked: "I don't know where Song Gongzi is located?" ”

"Xinglong Inn."

"Xinglong Inn is good! Xinglong Inn is unique in the world! But that's not a place where you can live with stinky money. The spiked male voice resounded through the hall from far and near, and everyone turned around one after another, and saw a young man wearing an ordinary gray cloth official uniform, but with a jade belt decorated with several pieces of unparalleled jade around his waist, staring at Meng Meng with slightly squinted eyes. Meng Meng was timid, and hurriedly hid behind Tao Tao.

"Little officer, what a big breath." Cai Ling couldn't help but say, where is the best inn in this world, her Dongxi Building is not yet big, and there is a peerless in this small county? I don't know what to say!

"This is the son of the Wu Mansion, who has found a position here in this official, and he has a single name and a rune." Prefectural order introduction.

"Blessed?" As soon as Tao Tao spoke, Cai Ling couldn't hold back his laughter.

"You!" Wu Fu was extremely angry, holding Shengtangmu's horizontal eyebrows and looking angry, Tao Tao hurriedly dragged Cai Ling behind him.

"Wu Fu, Hugh is rude. These are the guest officers from Yong'an, to see your father's clay mine, if the business is negotiated, your father's wealth is extensive, and it is not impossible to give you the Xinglong Inn, and you don't have to receive a meager salary here at that time, and you will be bored all day long. Zhang Xian Ling hurriedly played a round.

"This son is not here for those stinky money." Wu Fu took a sip of phlegm.

Cai Ling glanced at him in disgust, and poked Tao Tao's back with his fingers, urging him to leave the land of right and wrong quickly.

"After a long journey, my son will go back to the inn first, and come back another day to talk to Master Zhang in detail, and say goodbye." Tao Tao arched his hand.

"Wu Fu, you quickly send Song Gongzi and his party to your father's inn to rest." Zhang Xianling hurriedly said.

The people of the "Song family" were speechless and had ugly expressions.

Huaiyuan County is located in the north-south trade artery, and the only inn in the county is really prosperous, and there are endless guests. Tao Tao stood outside the store, looking down at the spotless bluestone floor: "Not bad." Ben Shao's worries are mostly less! ”

"Bad old man!" Wu Fu shouted, "Why don't you get out of here to meet your grandfather." ”

"Don't you dare." Tao Tao smiled and waved his hand.

Wu Fu glanced at him coldly, the meaning was obvious, this grandfather was himself.

"Fu Ye ......" The white-haired old man staggered over and bowed to greet Wu Fu, "It's too late, don't blame Fu Ye." ”

"You bad old man, sooner or later you will suffer." Wu Fu glanced at the people of the 'Song family', "These are the friends of this son, you are waiting to greet them well, if the greeting is not thoughtful, you will look good." ”

The old gentleman of the shopkeeper said yes again and again, and Wu Fu returned in a huff. Tao Tao hurriedly explained to the shopkeeper: "We are just potters in Yong'an City, and we are really not familiar with Wu Gongzi Pingshui, let alone friends." Don't get me wrong, shopkeeper. “

After the old gentleman smiled, Tao Tao turned his head to ask for praise, and Cai Ling gave him a thumbs up.

"Do you dare to do this to the guys in Dongxi Building?" After the old shopkeeper left, Tao Tao asked.

"Look for death! Lao Cai doesn't make braised pork for me, but it's good. Besides, my full moon and lack of moon are used for love. "Cai Ling is the right color.

"It is said that we are the children of Zhong Mingding's food family, and we are arrogant and domineering, and we can't compare to the son of a small clay merchant." Tao Tao thoughtfully.

"Zhong Ming Ding Food? Have you harvested all the rice on your thousand acres of fertile land? Is the rapeseed sprinkled yet? Cai Ling couldn't help laughing.

"Jiang Shao!" Tao Tao wanted to cry without tears.

"I've seen a lot today. It turned out to be arrogant and rude, so annoying. Cai Ling smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Fortunately, we didn't know the true appearance of arrogance when we were young, and we thought that it would be extremely arrogant to take a box of emeralds and night pearls to buy someone else's liquor store." ”

"That's right!" When I thought of the stupid things the two of them had done before, I couldn't help but laugh.

Xinglong Inn is not only a row of two-story buildings, there are also several courtyard houses in the back, and the 'Song family' brothers and sisters are arranged in a chic courtyard. Cai Ling and Man Yun live in the West House, Tao Tao and Meng Meng each live in one room and settle down separately.
