"We have passed the Feihong Pass, and we are about to enter southern Xinjiang. Grandpa Guo received an official letter from Nanjiang the day before yesterday, saying that when we arrived at Yingshanzhai, Nanjiang would send a magistrate to welcome us and take us into the city. Now that there are less than five miles away from Yingshanzhai, Grandpa Guo said, please change your clothes and wait for people from southern Xinjiang to appear at any time. ”

Southern Xinjiang actually attached so much importance to this harmony, and sent people to welcome the cottage in the border city. It seems that they are determined to win this time and their relatives.

"After entering Yingshanzhai, you have to be careful everywhere and don't get too far away from me." Li Congyao said lightly, his eyebrows did not move, but there was a little worry in his eyes.

Southern Xinjiang has always been a mysterious and feared place. The people of southern Xinjiang are good at using Gu to apply poison, and the methods they use are often difficult to prevent. He was not a timid person, but he never intended to take the initiative to provoke those people in southern Xinjiang.

"Understood." Jun Qinglan nodded, holding the official uniform sent by Rong Xi, with a slight look in her expression: "Lord Wang, are you ......." ”

"It's a little stuffy in the car, so I'll go down and take a walk." Li Congyao didn't wait for Jun Qinglan to finish speaking, and got out of the car first.

Jun Qinglan let out a long sigh of relief. Li Congyao's empathy is really useful. There are rumors in the capital that this person has a strange personality, and he is completely nonsense.

Jun Qinglan's height is already top-notch among women, but it is still a little worse than Jiang Yufan, and wearing his clothes on his body is inevitably a little inappropriate. I simply tied the belt tighter, and I could see it.

When it was time to clean up, she lifted the curtain and invited Li Congyao to go up.

This was the first time Li Congyao saw Jun Qinglan neatly wearing the official uniform of the brocade guard, and he couldn't help but look at it twice. The clothes of the brocade guards are different from other official uniforms, and they are embroidered with a large area of flowers. Because the brocade clothes are often walking, the cut of the clothes is also lean and capable. If there is the slightest indecency in the person who wears it, there is no way to see it.

However, such a dress on Jun Qinglan's body has an indescribable taste. She was originally a woman, but she was not as charming and gorgeous as ordinary women. Xu has been with men all the year round, and she has also given birth to a lot of man-like heroism and ability, without any twisting. Baihu's sword-sleeved flying fish suit was worn on his body, and he became more and more sassy and heroic, but it was completely different from the roughness of the man.

Such a woman makes people unable to take their eyes off for a while.

Li Congyao can be regarded as having read countless people, and he couldn't help shaking his head the moment he saw Jun Qinglan. The next moment, he frowned, and a touch of coldness gradually appeared in his narrow phoenix eyes.

"How?" Jun Qinglan was cramped by him, and lowered her head and pulled the corners of her clothes: "It's hard to get into the eyes?" ”

“…… Well. Li Congyao was silent for a long time before he spoke: "It doesn't fit, don't wear it after today." ”

When Li Congyao said this, he didn't look at Jun Qinglan, and his fingers unconsciously tapped the edge of the teacup.

Jun Qinglan frowned slightly: "It's indeed a bit big." But don't wear the ....... ”

"You don't need to worry about this."

Jun Qinglan pursed her lips. When they arrived in southern Xinjiang, they were the envoys of Northern Xia, and they were no longer as at ease as before. Official uniforms are a must-have, and if you meet with officials in southern Xinjiang but don't wear court clothes, and are used by people with intentions, you will inevitably be charged with contempt for southern Xinjiang. That's something you can't afford to bear.

But......

She secretly raised her eyes to look at Li Congyao, who didn't seem to have any desire to talk. After saying that, Fang Cai's eyes closed slightly, the tea cup on the table was completely cold, and Jun Qinglan stopped talking. Since he said he didn't need to worry about her, what else did she need to worry about?

Dingguo Gong gave the order, and the whole team marched quickly. The speed of this section of the march was very fast, and the speed of the wind was like lightning, and after a short time, the deafening sound of firecrackers was heard one after another, and the convoy came to a slow stop.

There was a military order from the front, ordering everyone to get out of the car as soon as possible.

Rong Xi was waiting outside the carriage early, and the secret guards of the Duanwang Mansion were also on both sides of the carriage under the leadership of Tang Ying, respectfully waiting for Li Congyao and Jun Qinglan to get off.

In the entire convoy, there is no doubt that the pomp of Duanwangfu is the largest, and it has naturally become the most eye-catching place. Jun Qinglan just got out of the car and heard a lot of discussion not far away. After carefully distinguishing for a long time, I could only understand a few words.

The smoke from the firecracker explosion almost obscured the sky, and the anxious smell of gunpowder made people smell it, and it was inevitable that there would be a little restlessness in their hearts. Jun Qinglan only felt that her heart was rippling, because of the flight, this year's spring was completely ignored, and she suddenly smelled the unique smell of gunpowder from firecrackers, and suddenly felt indescribably satisfied.

"Stay until next year." Li Congyao suddenly approached her, and his voice was melodious and low: "I will let you have a comfortable Spring Year." No, every spring year after that will be comfortable. ”

Jun Qinglan raised her head suddenly, and her heart trembled. Is this a promise?! Wouldn't it be a lifetime to be together every spring year after that?

She opened her mouth before she could say something. But I heard Jiang Yufan shouting in front of the convoy: "You Nanjiang are too despised by people, and only send a small county to meet us?" ”

"Not really." Jiang Ying's voice was undisguised with mockery: "We are the envoys of Northern Xia. In our convoy, there are not only the princes of the country, but also the dignified Prince Duan. You only come to one county to welcome the cottage, and put a few firecrackers, is it enough? ”

Jun Qinglan raised her eyebrows when she heard this, Yingshanzhai actually only sent a county to greet them?

Among the countries on this continent, Northern Xia is entrenched in the Central Plains, and the land is the richest. Although it occupies a very wide area, because of its unique regional relationship, it is actually very backward, and the people's lives are not rich.

Because of this, Southern Xinjiang often sent envoys to Northern Xia to study, and made peace with Northern Xia many times, so as to use the experience of others to develop their own country. After many years, the officials and evaluation system in southern Xinjiang were almost exactly the same as those in Northern Xia.

The scale of Yingshanzhai is equivalent to a small county town in Northern Xia. The official system was also modeled after the county seat. The magistrate is the highest governor of Yingshanzhai, but at best he is only seven grades. A seven-rank official, not to mention that compared with Li Congyao and Dingguo Gong, even the two hundred households of Jinyiwei can only grovel when he sees it.

However, what greets them now is a Bapin County Cheng who is not in the stream at all. Although in Yingshanzhai, the county is already a great official, but compared with these people, it is really not enough.

"I'm really sorry for you." The county was obviously despised but not ashamed at all, with a smile on his face, he arched his hands and said: "Knowing that the nobles are coming, our county magistrate originally wanted to lead the officials and big households of the whole village to greet him personally. But unfortunately, when he was about to go out, someone in the stockade beat a drum to complain. The adults had to stay behind to deal with the case and order the villain to greet the nobles in his place. ”

"Huh." Jiang Ying snorted coldly and said, "Speaking of which, aren't you arguing with strong words? ”

"Jiang Ying, step aside!" Ding Guogong suddenly opened his mouth, drank Jiang Ying, and looked at the county with gentle eyebrows.

"The people are the most important thing in the community. Since the magistrate has a case to deal with, he should naturally focus on official affairs first. There is Lao County. ”

"Don't dare to be." The county man quietly raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Please also invite the nobles and villains to go into the city." ”

The county immediately turned sideways, raised his hand and ordered the trumpeter to play music, and he made a gesture of invitation, bending down respectfully and waiting.

Jun Qinglan walked in an inconspicuous position in the crowd, glanced at the county and took a hard breath of cold air. No wonder Jiang Ying and Jiang Yufan were angry, because the person who greeted them was actually ...... He's the only one!

A dignified village actually sent a man, a horse, and a whip to greet the envoys of Northern Xia, is this a joke?!

This is an extremely unreasonable thing, if you meet an envoy with a slightly worse temper, you may be able to cut that county Cheng under the horse with a sword. Originally, they treated them lightly, and they couldn't complain that others were angry, and if they died, they would die in vain.

However, although the county man in front of him behaved humbly and humblely, in fact, his eyes were tenacious, and he was not afraid.

This man...... It's a character.

"Sister Jun." Jiang Ying did not leave with Dingguo Gong. He always stood where he was, waiting for her, and when he saw her coming, his whole body lit up, and he ran up wildly.

Jun Qinglan hooked the corners of her lips and waited for Jiang Ying, seeing her pop out her arm and about to take her arm. Suddenly, his body sank, and he lost his balance and leaned to one side. Jiang Ying's thin body passed by her.

Jun Qinglan's surprise was not trivial, so she couldn't catch off guard and smashed straight towards the ground, but she was blocked by a pair of arms in the oblique stab, and the next moment it hit the man's cold and hard chest.

"Oh, if you can't stand on your own, don't bother others." The man's voice was melodious like a harp, but it hid undisguised sarcasm.

At the moment when the two women didn't react, Jun Qinglan was dragged away by Li Congyao. Jiang Ying blinked, and was stunned as she looked at the dark guards passing by one by one.

Just now, what happened? What's going on?

"Miss Eight, are you surprised, are you surprised?" Tang Ying said with a smile as he stood in front of Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying frowned: "Who are you?" ”

"Miss Eight doesn't care who I am, you just need to remember one sentence." Tang Ying blinked and looked in the direction where the man and woman had left: "Don't touch what you shouldn't touch, so as not to set yourself on fire." ”

Jiang Ying frowned, what did she touch that shouldn't have been touched?

Tang Ying didn't explain anymore, and slowly chased after the people in Duanwang's Mansion. Rong Xi looked at him from a distance, and when he got closer, he said, "The prince doesn't like it very much, we have too much contact with the people of the Dingguo Mansion." ”

"I know." Tang Ying looked at Rong Xi lightly, and the corners of his lips hooked uncontrollably: "But kindly remind that unruly young lady." It's been getting more and more lively in our palace recently! ”
