At the same time, Hebei Province, Shenzhou. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shenzhou is located between Dingzhou and Jizhou, the area is not large, it belongs to Xiazhou, belongs to the jurisdiction of Chengde Jiedu, the early Han Dynasty placed the county, the early Sui changed the county to the state, governed the Shenzhou, and led the five counties of Luze, Xiabo, Anping, Shulu and Lucheng.

Overall, this is an inconspicuous state and county, but it is the only way to go from the north to the south.

After more than a month's long journey, Li Chengye is getting closer and closer to Youzhou, the destination of this trip, and at this speed, he can reach Youzhou in 10 days at most.

After Li Chengye returned to Jiangling Mansion a month ago, after arranging all the affairs in the mansion, he hurriedly went on the road with a few family attendants, and the house in Jiangling Mansion was also given to Yan Shuo along with most of the subordinates, and he only brought some silver money and silk silk to Youzhou non-stop.

There were not many people accompanying him, three or five horses and an ox cart walked all the way from the ground, away from the humid heat in the south, and the cool climate in the north made Li Chengye and others feel more comfortable, so the speed of the journey was obviously much faster.

Just after noon after entering the Shenzhou territory, an attendant dismounted and walked to a carriage and whispered: "Wang Po, Lang Jun ordered that I will rest in Shenzhou City for a day today, and then hurry tomorrow morning!" ”

"Well, got it! You tell Li Er that after arriving in Shenzhou, find a better post house, and the maid and maid will also need to take a bath and change into cool clothes along the way! A deep and powerful voice came from the car, it was Wang Po.

"Understood!" The attendant replied softly, and then walked away.

Within the car.

In addition to Wang Po, there are two young women in their early twenties, one of whom is wearing a pale cyan skirt, covered with a half-sleeved shawl, and his head is in a cloud bun, decorated with gilded peacock steps, the powder is flawless, and the skin is like snow.

And this woman is Cheng Ling'er, and the other woman is her personal maid Yue'er.

After Xiao Liang returned to Jiangling Mansion that day, he told Cheng Ling'er everything that happened in the capital as it was, since Li Zhen has now recognized each other as father and son, then Cheng Ling'er, Xiao Liang, and Wang Po can be regarded as returning their freedom, but Wang Po and Li Zhen's mother have old friends, and Li Zhen has been getting along with Li Zhen for many years like relatives, so they also followed Li Chengye to the north.

Originally, Cheng Ling'er's destination was Chang'an, the capital, but because she couldn't rest assured of Li Zhen, she followed everything to Youzhou first, preparing to go to Chang'an after meeting Li Zhen, after all, it was her real hometown.

Since entering the realm of Shenzhou, Li Chengye and his party have not rested but went straight to Shenzhou along the official road, so at this time, Cheng Ling'er and the maidservant Yue'er looked obviously tired, and they were just looking forward to going to Shenzhou for a good day of rest earlier.

And Li Chengye still looks extraordinarily spiritual, although Youzhou is not as rich as Jiangling, but it is undoubtedly an opportunity to make contributions, for this opportunity Li Chengye has waited for decades, if it is not for Cheng Linger and Wang Po, I am afraid that Li Chengye will not even stay in Shenzhou.

But the closer he gets to Shenzhou, the more Li Chengye feels a little strange, it stands to reason that Shenzhou is located in the hinterland of Hebei, although it is not as stable and rich as Jiangnan, but it has also been peaceful for a long time, and the people are also living and working in peace and contentment.

Along the way, Li Chengye found that this Shenzhou was far poorer than he imagined, although he did not have any communication with the local people, but along the way found that a large area of fertile land here was in a state of uncultivated waste, but was occupied by weeds more than one person tall.

Judging from the current situation in Shenzhou, it is obvious that it is not within the scope of vast land and sparse population, on the contrary, the arable land in the three towns of Hebei is far more scarce than that of Jiangling Prefecture, so the reason for the current scene is very questionable.

But after all, Li Chengye knew that his authority was limited, and Shenzhou was under the control of the Chengde Jie Envoy, even if there was any abnormality, it would never be his turn to come forward, so although Li Chengye was surprised in his heart, he did not inquire too much.

"Alas, the good land is like this, what a sin!"

At this time, Wang Po lifted the curtain on the side of the car, and saw the endless and overgrown wasteland in front of her, and couldn't help but sigh.

After hearing this, Cheng Ling'er also casually lifted the curtain on the other side, seeing this scene, she couldn't help but feel sorry for herself, but these are too far away from herself after all, as she said with Li Zhen at the beginning: they are all ordinary people's families, and there are some things that can be seen, but they can't be done......

At this moment, Cheng Ling'er only felt that the car slowly stopped, and was about to speak, but she only heard the Wang Po on the side shouting impatiently: "Why don't you leave?" ”

After leaning less, he saw an attendant running over and said softly: "There is a team of officers and soldiers blocking the way in front, Lang Jun let me wait for a while!"

"What are the officers and soldiers doing in our way?" Wang Po was surprised.

"It's not blocking our way, it's just that the officers and soldiers have taken dozens of prisoners, and it seems that a few prisoners have fainted! Those people gathered on the official road, so they got in the way! ”

"Oh!" Wang Po responded, and then Cheng Ling'er said: "Ling'er, why don't we take advantage of the opportunity to breathe and move our muscles and bones, people are really guilty of riding in a car when they are old!" ”

Cheng Ling'er smiled and said, "What? Your old man finally admits that he is old! ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she glanced at Cheng Ling'er, and scolded with a smile: "After so many years, your maid's mouth is still so tricky!" ”

"Hey, Mrs. Wang, what you said is wrong, my lady is a servant, so what am I?!" Yue'er pouted unhappily at this time and said.

"You? You are a little, I watched Ling'er grow up, and I have called her this for more than ten years, why hasn't she spoken, you are not happy! Wang Po said with a glare.

"Hehe, look at your temper has not changed at all, in your eyes I am your servant, always!" Cheng Ling'er gently grabbed Wang Po's rough big hands, with a happy face.

"Alas, back then, Qingwenzi treated you like her own sister, but now you have been withering for her son for nearly ten years, if Qingwenzi has a spirit in the sky, I should be relieved!" Speaking of this, it reminded of the old past, and Wang Po couldn't help but cry.

Cheng Ling'er's eyes were moist after hearing this, and she was stunned for a long time before she said slowly: "Sister's love is immortal, and it is difficult to repay her for ten years, even if she guards Qingluan for a lifetime, I have no complaints!" As long as Qingluan is safe and sound all her life, I can be regarded as worthy of my sister! ”

Wang Po nodded, then pulled out her big hand to wipe her tears, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go down and breathe!" (To be continued.) )
