Fengzhou is the northernmost state capital of the Chen State, and after leaving Fengzhou, you can enter the Chu State two days away.

The group set off from Beijing on the third day of the third month of March and arrived in Fengzhou on April 20.

Although Fengzhou is located on the border, it is bordering the state of Chu, Chen and Chu have been friends with each other for many years, and the ties have become closer in the past two years, so Fengzhou has never been heavily guarded, and the main forces of the border have been arranged in the state capitals bordering the grassland.

Looking at the Fengzhou city wall from afar, a dilapidated feeling came to my face.

The rich land of Chen State was in the south of the Yangtze River, and the further north the state capital became, the poorer it became, and the officials who were officials in places like Fengzhou either had poor grades in the imperial examinations and were casually assigned to dilapidated places, or they were criminals with some stains on their bodies, and they were not able to be dismissed from their posts and investigated, so they were allowed to spend their old age in such places.

Lu Teng rode forward on his horse and said, "Lord Tang, Fengzhou has arrived." ”

The expression on his face was much more serious than before, after leaving Fengzhou, he was far away from Chen Guo, and he could no longer get assistance from the government, and the second half of this trip was the most difficult time.

He Rui stepped forward, kept a distance of five steps from Tang Ning, and said, "Lord Tang, let's go into the city." ”

Since the manpower arranged by King Duan in the mission had frequent accidents, He Rui did not dare to get too close to him.

Tang Ning rode on his horse, looked ahead, waved his hand, and said, "Enter the city!" ”

The local officials in Fengzhou had already received the news that Princess Pingyang's family sending party was about to arrive in Fengzhou, and they opened the city gate early, and the local officials lined up in two columns and stood at the city gate to greet them.

When the team walked to the gate of the city, the Fengzhou Assassin Shi led the Fengzhou officials to step forward, bowed down and said: "Dong Cunyi, the Fengzhou Assassin Shi, brings the Fengzhou officials to welcome the princess of Pingyang, and the envoy has worked hard all the way!" ”

Tang Ning rode on a horse, looked at the Fengzhou Thorn History below, and said with a smile: "Master Dong, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

He couldn't be more familiar with this Fengzhou assassin history.

Two years ago, when the other party was still the assassin of Lingzhou and was also the boss of his father-in-law, the Zhong family was in his hands, but he suffered a lot of losses.

Later, because of the assassination of Li Tianlan, Lingzhou officials were collectively punished and were packaged and demoted to Fengzhou.

But thinking about it, if he hadn't forced Xiaoyi to marry his son, there would have been no such thing as throwing hydrangeas to recruit relatives later, and if Tang Yaoyao hadn't smashed down the hydrangea, Tang Ning would have starved to death on the streets.

He actually didn't suffer any losses in the hands of Dong Tingshi, and he didn't have any deep hatred and hatred, and when they saw each other again after two years, they just had some feelings of being wrong.

The voice in his ears was a little unfamiliar, but it seemed that he had heard it somewhere, Dong Cunyi thought it was a colleague in the early years, raised his head and looked, only to see that on the horse at the front of the mission, a young man was looking at him condescendingly.

This adult ...... "The person on the horse looks at his age, naturally it can't be his colleague, Dong Cunyi didn't remember where he had seen it for a while, and just as he spoke, a light suddenly flashed in his mind, and he exclaimed: "It's you!" ”

As the former assassin of Lingzhou, he was still deeply impressed by the genius Xie Yuan who had not met in Lingzhou for decades, not to mention that he still had some unclear grievances with this person and the Zhong family.

Since the assassination of the envoy of the State of Chu in Lingzhou and his transfer to Fengzhou, there has been no news of Tang Ning, but I didn't expect that it would only take two years of hard work, and when I said goodbye, the other party was already a family envoy, judging from his position in the team, his status must not be low.

Dong Cunyi's heart was sour and unspeakable, and he was a little apprehensive, and when he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, Tang Ning said: "Running all the way, the princess is a little tired, let's go to the city." ”

Dong Cunyi immediately nodded and said, "The post house has been prepared, please enter the city ...... envoy"

Although the gate of Fengzhou is broken, but the post house is very clean, there are not many small post house houses, in order to ensure quiet, only the princess and a few envoys stay, and the rest of the entourage is arranged in the surrounding inns nearby.

After the group entered the post house, Lu Teng arranged for the guards to surround the inside and outside of the post house, twelve hours a day, 800 people were divided into four groups, each group of 200 people, and took turns to patrol on duty.

Before Tang Ning walked into Zhao Man's courtyard, Lu Teng stopped him and said, "Lord Tang, out of Fengzhou, it may not be peaceful along the way, I want to repair in Fengzhou for a few days, first send someone to explore the road ahead, and then discuss the route." ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Then listen to Commander Lu." ”

Although Lu Teng doesn't know how to be flexible, but stubbornness also has the benefit of stubbornness, at least he is particularly concerned about the safety of this trip, this is his professional field, there is no obvious wrong, Tang Ning will not interfere.

Tang Ning walked into Zhao Man's room, she was sitting at the head of the bed, humming a cheerful little song, and there was no sadness at all about leaving her homeland.

Seeing Tang Ning coming in, she immediately stood up and said, "I heard that the night market in Fengzhou City is very lively, let's go out and have a look at night." ”

Fengzhou is neither a political center nor a military town, and there is no curfew policy, as long as it is not idle and still wandering the streets when it has nothing to do, the guards patrolling the city will not care at all.

Along the way, as long as her requests were not excessive, Tang Ning would agree if he could, he nodded and said, "I'll go out at night." ”

Zhao Man sat obediently in front of the mirror and said, "Then you can help me dress up, I like you to help me dress up." ”

……

Fengzhou is located in the north, and in mid-April, it will be dark at night.

Lu Teng set up a tent outside the princess's courtyard gate, guarded it personally, and when he saw Tang Ning and a palace maid coming out of the princess's courtyard, his eyes stayed for a moment, and then quickly looked away.

As long as it's not with the princess, he can be with whoever he wants.

It's just that this Lord Tang already has two beautiful wives in his family, and he is still unclear with the first beauty in Beijing, in addition, there are also Tang Shui and the violent woman, who went to the Chu State, and can still make eye contact with the princess's maid------ which is really enviable.

He looked at the darkening sky, walked out of the tent, and said, "Add a few more torches......

……

The night market in Fengzhou City is unexpectedly lively, and the nightlife alone is even richer than that of Jingshi.

Not to mention all kinds of gadgets on the streets, the major Goolan tile markets are brightly lit, the shops on the street are full of people, and the night markets without curfew are even more lively than the streets during the day.

This made Tang Ning's initial impression of Fengzhou change slightly, it may be a little broken here, but it shouldn't be poor, the emperor is far away, if he doesn't have any ambitions to enter the prime minister, it's actually not bad to be an idle assassin here.

Zhao Man felt that she had eaten, slept and eaten along the way, and when Chu Guo gained a lot of weight, she didn't eat anything at night, so she followed Tang Ning around, as long as she didn't stay in the post house, she was very happy even if she was wandering outside.

Zhao Man walked beside him, jumped with his hands behind his back, turned his head to look at him, and asked, "How are we going to come back from Chu State?" ”

Before arriving in the Chu State, things were not clear, and the measures taken in the end were not the same.

If something happens to the prince of Chu State, such as choking on eating, drinking water, choking to death, going out and being stoned to death by a meteorite, or being assassinated, then the marriage will naturally be annulled, and they will come back as they go.

If none of these things happen, you have to come back secretly, and the follow-up will be more troublesome.

Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "If you can't see outsiders anymore, including your father, after you come back from the Chu State, are you willing?" ”

Zhao Man looked up at him and asked, "Can I see you?" ”

Tangning nodded.

Zhao Man said indifferently: "I am willing." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd in front of her suddenly surged, Tang Ning protected Zhao Man, took a few steps back, and heard a sound of breaking wind in front of her, followed by a man's angry roar.

"Where did the barbarians come from, they dared to beat me!"

Although the light was not bright, Tang Ning still saw the prairie woman standing on the street, carrying a small red whip.

Unexpectedly, she actually came to Fengzhou, and it seemed that she was in trouble again.

"...... this barbarian" The young man standing on the street covered his face, opened his mouth to say a word, the expression on his face was suddenly stunned, looked at a person standing in the crowd, and blurted out: "Tang Ning! ”

Tang Ning led Zhao Man out of the crowd, looked at the young man, thought for a while, and asked, "Are you ......, Dong Mingjun?" ”

The young man finally came back to his senses, and the smile on his face gradually became playful, and said, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to see you here again......"
