Chapter 124: Arrangement, Discovery
Several people still sat in place, occasionally holding teacups and drinking tea, without the slightest intention of leaving, and fell into the silence before the emperor came, no one spoke, although they knew the importance of the summer feast, and also knew that this was the test given to them by the emperor, but due to the embarrassment of the relationship between several people, they were waiting for someone to speak out to break the silent situation.
"Ahem," or Bei Shenye opened his mouth first, he was the highest ranking among several people, his imperial uncle, and the most powerful among these people: "Since the emperor handed over the summer conference to us, we also have to prepare for the division of labor, but we can't lose my royal prestige." ”
Beiliuyun picked up a pair of slightly playful peach blossom eyes and looked at him: "Then Uncle Huang said, how should we divide it?" This division of labor is not good, and the one who will be rewarded in the end is also different! And if something goes wrong, how should this responsibility be settled? ”
"Brother Five Emperors is not right, my father handed over this banquet to us, and the terrible thing is to let several of us cooperate with each other to complete it together. Before this feast started, the royal brother was already giving the idea of rewarding? Beichen held the teacup and squinted at the North Flowing Clouds.
"Beichen, what you said is not right, when did I think of the idea of rewarding? I just care about the brothers, and the sixth brother thinks so badly of me. Beiliuyun replied, his words full of provocation.
"Alright." Bei Shenye spoke out to stop their conversation, but he was afraid that if he continued to talk about it, he would quarrel. This is the Imperial Palace, and it is not good to pass it on to the Emperor if you accidentally pass it on.
"Since it has been determined that we did it, we should unite and make this feast a success. As for the reward, presumably we will not need anything, and when things are done, there will be no disputes and accountability. Since everyone is arguing, then I, as your imperial uncle and your elder, will first say what I think. Anyway, Beijin is now temporarily in charge of Sikong Mansion, so you can take care of all the accounts of this feast, and the purchase of the accounts will go through you, so you don't have to arrange anything else, and it will be easier. Bei Shenye got up again, he knew that this matter was not as simple as holding a summer feast, what the emperor wanted to see was how they dealt with it and successfully held this feast.
Bei Jin nodded, Bei Shenye had helped him a lot, including Fang Shan, who had always been by his side, and he had no reason to refuse if he arranged it like this: "Well, anyway, I don't have anything now, I have this bit of virtual power in my hand, you can arrange it at will, I can do it." ”
Bei Shenye nodded, looked at Beichen and continued: "Since the imperial brother has arranged for you and Duqing to ask about the arrangement of your mother's palace banquet, the two of you will take care of the layout and procurement in the palace. Liuyun, you are often outside the palace, and you have seen a lot, so you are responsible for singing, dancing and food, and I am responsible for all the patrol safety issues and the people invited to the banquet. What do you think? ”
The arrangement was appropriate, there were no loopholes, and several people were more energetic, and they didn't agree, nor did they refute, just drank tea quietly.
"Then let's do it first, and then we will discuss and solve the problem, so let's go here today. After that, when the feast begins, we all have to pay attention to each other at all times, after all, what we are doing is for the same goal. After Bei Shenye said this, he walked out of the hall with his sleeves brushed up.
The rest of the people glanced at each other, and they all left the hall one after another. And then what they will have to face is not as simple as this arrangement?
"Sister, are we really not going to be discovered?" While driving the horse, Yunluo turned his head sideways and whispered to Lou Wange next to him.
"No, don't you believe in my disguise technique?" She replied in a low voice, and looked around again: "Seeing that it is about to get dark, the caravan will definitely camp in front to rest, and then try to talk as little as possible, so as not to be seen." ”
"Yes." Yunluo and Danyu on the other side both nodded.
Three days after leaving the imperial capital, Lou Wange and the others arrived in Shenglin City, and after arranging everything, they smoothly blended into the caravan that went north from Shenglin. The caravan mixed in looked like there were about one or two hundred people, and because of the long-distance wind and sand, most of them were covered with black cloth with the caravan logo, which was very easy to hide, no, after following the caravan for a while, no one had found that the caravan had three more of them.
As she expected, a horse came from the front of the caravan, and the man on the horse drove all the way to the back of the caravan and shouted: "Spread the word of the leader, camp in place and rest, and eat in an hour!" ”
The caravan stopped, everyone dismounted and cleaned up, everything was very orderly, camping camp, collecting firewood, counting items, in this case, Lou Wange and the three of them looked a little out of place.
"Hey, those three, what are you doing there, you haven't come here to help set up camp." While the three of them were stunned, a young man who had set up a camp next to them waved at them.
"Oh!" Lou Wange answered, and took Yunluo and Danyu to help.
"I said, you three, didn't the leader give you a task before you set off? Why are you stunned there? The man who had just spoken tore off the black cloth and took the initiative to talk to them.
"It's divided, but before this departure, my brother had diarrhea, and he just missed the task, so I didn't know what to do for a while." Lou Wange lowered her voice, made up a reason at random, and patted Yunluo's stomach on the side.
Yunluo understood, and also cooperated: "Yes, yes, yes, it's all my fault for not being angry." He also killed his brother. ”
"Oh, that's right." The man was skeptical: "Then you can follow me to set up camp." ”
"Thank you."
The man looked around and quickened the movement of his hand: "We have to hurry, the leader of the meeting will come to patrol, and we will set up before she comes." ”
Hearing that the leader was coming to make the round, the three of them looked at each other and began to worry. If it is discovered, it is not a good thing. I don't know what kind of person is in the lead.
By the time the camp was set up, it was already dark, and a bonfire was set up in front of each camp, and some people came back from hunting game and roasted it on the fire, exuding an attractive fragrance. Each bonfire is full of people, everyone is laughing and talking about interesting things, or bowing their heads to eat the dry food they bring with them to cushion their stomachs first, the atmosphere is so ominous and lively, the fatigue of running around all day has dissipated in this moonlight bonfire, everyone is still full of vitality and spirit.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!" Someone screamed loudly, and everyone was looking forward to touching their stomachs, hunger had already enveloped them.
"You see, it's the leader." Someone in the crowd pointed to the person serving the food.
Following the direction they pointed, Lou Wange saw the person serving the meal, tall, wearing a black and red gown and long skirt, his black hair was tied up high, and his hair was blown high in the evening breeze, so chivalrous. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, eyes are like leaving, the bridge of the nose is high, thin lips are slightly raised, and he has the proud temperament of the superior, which is very handsome and chic.
"What a handsome boy!" Danyu was also amazed when he saw it. The leaders of ordinary caravans are all strong and strong, but it is rare to see such a delicate and handsome person.
"It's a woman!" Lou Wange corrected, a funny smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Woman? Why didn't I see it? Danyu didn't believe it, so he had to get up and see it clearly.
Lou Wange pulled him down: "Sit well, don't be discovered." You two remember, when the leader comes, cover her appearance more, we are angry, afraid that she will be suspicious. ”
"Hmm."
After a period of hustle and bustle, the leader still came to them, and he didn't say much, only took the bowl handed by the person next to him and scooped the food, and then handed it to Lou Wange and them, and said gently and indifferently: "Come, it's hard today, everyone eat more, and there is still after eating." ”
"Thank you for the lead." The three of them followed everyone and bowed their heads in thanks, trying not to let the leader see their appearance.
Fortunately, the leader turned around and went to the next camp after finishing the meal, and did not stay any longer, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and ate with confidence. It has to be said that the cooking skills of the accompanying cook of the caravan are good, and the meal is unexpectedly delicious. The three of them ate very deliciously, thinking that tonight would be spent so plain and unnoticed-
"Sister, the leader is quite good, he cooks in person, he seems to be very sympathetic to his subordinates!" Yunluo sighed.
"Well, because I'm a woman, I always have to be more careful." He leaned towards Dan Yu and asked: "Dan Yu, there is so much information in the South Pavilion, you can see the origin of this caravan by looking at the sign of this caravan." ”
Dan Yu raised his head, looked at the blood-red flags and the black patterns on each camp, frowned and thought for a long time: "This pattern, the sword body and dragon pattern, is the symbol of Wanning Villa, but when did Wanning Villa start doing caravan business?" And if you look closely, it's not all like the pattern of Wanning Villa, the dragon is obviously missing a claw, it shouldn't be a fake! ”
"Wanning Villa-" Lou Wange muttered: "It seems that it is still crooked!" This caravan is very weird, looking at this familiar and regular appearance, it doesn't look like it's pretending, it should have something to do with it, and when we get to Wanning Villa, we will check it carefully, it is important to hide our identity these days on the road. ”
As soon as the three of them put down the dishes and chopsticks, they got up and were about to enter the tent camp, when suddenly one of them rushed over and stopped them: "Three, the leader is invited." Come with me. ”
The three of them were shocked: Could it be that the leader found out?
Or Lou Wange reacted quickly: "Dare to ask the little brother, do you know why the three of us want to meet?" ”
"Then I don't know, you can go and see the leader."
Lou Wange knew that she couldn't hide, so she had to nod and agree: "Okay, let's go right away, and lead the way." ”
Yunluo and Danyu were at a loss, shrugged their shoulders after glancing at each other, and had to follow Lou Wange to meet the leader.
Passing through the gathering area of the camp, the man led Lou Wange and the three of them to the front camp: "Go in, don't let the leader wait for a long time." ”
