Next stop, Shangshui!

When Zhao Hongrun said this, he didn't expect it at all, and after only half a day's boat, they all had to get off the boat and take the land route instead.

The reason is simple, Una is seasick.

This girl of the Quan tribe, who has lived on the grassland since she was a child, turned a little pale after stepping on the ship of the imperial court.

After this, as the caravan set out for Shangshui, the poor girl of the Qiang tribe vomited on the ship.

"It's okay, my Run, I can bear it...... ...... vomit"

“……”

Looking at the pale Una, Zhao Hongrun had no choice but to urgently order their boat to dock, and casually found a suitable place to go ashore, and the group got off the boat again.

There is no way, after all, Xiangfu County is far from Shangshui County, at least four or five days of boat ride, if you don't get off the boat, I'm afraid that Una will faint to death, and even get a serious illness because of it.

Zhao Hongrun didn't want that.

Although the itinerary would have to be doubled at least several times by land, Zhao Hongrun obviously couldn't bear to see his woman suffer.

However, since it was by land, the number of their group was too ostentatious, so Zhao Hongrun asked Wei Chang Cen to take the hundred Su Wangwei to continue to take the boat and go to Shangshui County one step in advance, while on his side, he took the guards and the women to Shangshui slowly.

Anyway, this time, he didn't have anything to worry about.

After Zhao Hongrun and his party got off the boat, the ship carried Su Wangwei and set off slowly again, catching up with the fleet that had slowed down in front.

On Zhao Hongrun's side, he hugged the weak Una into the carriage.

Looking at the always lively and cheerful Una, whose eyes were pale and her lips were blue, Zhao Hongrun secretly blamed himself, blaming himself for not taking this into account.

Don't look at Una's riding skills are quite exquisite, she has long been familiar with the bumps on horseback since she was a child, but in fact, the bumps on horseback are fundamentally different from the bumps on the boat.

As the so-called "South Boat and North Horse", southerners stand on the boat, facing the waves as if they are standing on flat ground; And the northerners, not only can they eat and drink on horseback, but it is also common to travel hundreds of miles a day.

Can you let them try it?

One of them had stomach acid reflux and vomited to the brink of death, while the other, on the second day after traveling hundreds of miles in the day, would not even be able to straighten his waist, and he only felt dizzy and his bones ached.

"Run, I'm sorry, I knew that I would have stayed in Daliang......"

Due to their own relationship, the group had to change to the land route, and Una, who was resting in the carriage, blamed herself.

And in this regard, Zhao Hongrun didn't care, touched Una's forehead with a cold sweat that receded slightly, and comforted her: "It's okay, anyway, it's nothing important for me to go to Shangshui this time, it's just to relax." …… If I have to say sorry, I have to say to you, I'm sorry, Una, I didn't take into account that you never took a boat. ”

In the carriage, Miss Su's maid Huan Lu'er saw Zhao Hongrun treating Una so gently, and she couldn't help but feel a little bit for her own young lady, but Miss Su seemed quite generous, twisted a towel in a basin on the side, and put it on Una's forehead.

Maybe she is a little sympathetic to Una, after all, Una has no relatives and no reason in the Wei Kingdom, and the only one she can rely on is Zhao Hongrun, just like her who was lonely and helpless at the beginning, so Miss Su will not eat Una's vinegar.

What's more, Una is the kind of person who is straightforward, cheerful, and has no heart, and Miss Su feels that if she even eats the vinegar of such a woman, she will be too pathetic.

But to be honest, whether it is Una or Sheep's Tongue Apricot, Miss Su has no hostility towards them, except for Mi Jiang.

She and Mi Jiang seem to be born incompatible, and nothing good has happened to stay together.

But in the final analysis, what Miss Su cares about the most is probably the incident where Zhao Hongrun once called Mi Jiang's name after **** with her, which is simply a stinger that pierces her heart.

After a few moments, a dizzy Una finally fell asleep.

Seeing this, Miss Su asked Zhao Hongrun in a low voice: "Runlang, this time you went to Shangshui, did you not have a period of appointment?" ”

Zhao Hongrun smiled when he heard this: "What you heard is just the news released by the imperial court. ”

Indeed, this time Zhao Hongrun was actually forced out of Daliang by that rumor, because he was unwilling to hand over the rights in his hands, and he was not at ease to hand over his efforts to others, so he was powerless to refute the rumor, so he could only get rid of the rumor by temporarily staying away from Daliang.

But then again, this matter can't always be put on the table and said, 'King Su went away to Shangshui to avoid rumors', is this like a saying?

Therefore, the Ministry of Rites of the Imperial Court gave Zhao Hongrun a convenience and asked Zhao Hongrun to serve as a ceremonial official to mediate the relationship between Anling, Zhaoling, Yanling, and Shangshui.

This is the most headache for the Ministry of Rites at present, after all, the residents of Anling and Zhaoling are Wei people, and they were victims during the Chu-Wei War two years ago, while those who live in Yanling and Shangshui are Chu people who defected to Wei, of course, the latter is now accepted by the imperial court as Wei people, but the will of the imperial court cannot really affect the people after all.

No, although it has been more than a year since the end of that war, the hatred of the Chu people in Anling, Zhaoling and other places is still maintained, and the Yanling people and Shangshui people have gradually begun to resist because of the hostility of the former.

Especially in Anling and Yanling, the county residents of these two sides sometimes cause conflicts because of some trivial matters.

For example, just two months ago, several Yanling people were hunting in the nearby hills, hoping to catch some game, and they happened to run into a group of Anling people.

Originally, the hills near Yanling and Anling abounded, and each went its own way.

However, those Anling people said that these hills belonged to Anling, and told those Yanling people to get out.

And those Yanling people did not show weakness, saying that these hills are closer to Yanling, and they should be called Yanqiu, and told those Anling people to get out.

As a result, they didn't agree with each other, and the two sides fought on the mountain, and each other's noses were blue and their faces were swollen.

That's not all, the two sides who feel that they have suffered a loss from each other make an appointment to compare the date, and each other goes back to the county to call people.

Anling is a large county, after absorbing the Wei people from the original Yanling, Linying, Xihua and other places, the population of the county has more than 100,000, and Yanling, as one of the three cities and counties where more than 400,000 Chu people who defected to Wei live, does not have to be inferior to Anling in terms of population.

The men of these two big counties all rolled up their sleeves and went to the agreed place to fight, and the scene was so spectacular, no less than the scene when Zhao Hongrun fought in Sanchuan.

Fortunately, the county commanders of Anling and Yanling knew the proportions, the former sent county soldiers, and the latter invited the only remaining 10,000 Shangshui troops stationed in Shangshui because of the relationship between the Yanling army and Dangshan, and they both arrested a large group of people, and finally suppressed this farce.

But suppression is suppression, and the relationship between the two sides is still full of hostility: as long as they don't run into each other on the road, the well water of the two sides does not interfere with the river water, and they do not interact with each other for old age; But if they meet on the way, even a chicken feather may cause a dispute between the two sides, and finally rise to a situation where they fight each other.

And this time Zhao Hongrun went south to Shangshui, the most important thing was to deal with the hostile relationship between the two large counties of Anling and Yanling.

There is no way, compared with Zhaoling and Shangshui, the two big counties of Anling and Yanling are too close to each other, and the people of the two counties may encounter each other whether they go up to the mountains to hunt, or go to rivers and lakes to fetch water and laundry.

And once it happens, it means that it is very likely to trigger another farce.

"Didn't the strategy that the court had formulated at the beginning work?"

After listening to Zhao Hongrun's explanation, Miss Su was very puzzled.

Zhao Hongrun thought for a while and asked, "Are you referring to the intermarriage between men and women in Anling, Zhaoling, Yanling, Shangshui and other places?" ”

Miss Su blushed slightly, but still nodded.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said, "Although the Ministry of Rites has been advocating this matter, it ...... It cannot be said that it has not been effective, but it has not reached the expected level. ”

Miss Su nodded, and said as if understanding: "After all, both sides are big counties with more than 100,000 people...... After that, she turned her head to look at Zhao Hongrun, and said with a smile: "However, the slave family believes that this matter will not be difficult for Runlang." ”

Zhao Hongrun laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said, "You think too highly of me, this matter is ...... It's not easy to do. I think it's very likely that the rumors of Daliang have subsided, and I still can't reconcile the relationship between the two sides. After all, this is different from fighting, when I fight, I am facing enemies, and I don't mind hitting them with my fists, but these people are all my people of Great Wei, so it's not easy to do......"

After chatting with Miss Su for a few more words, Zhao Hongrun asked her to take care of Una with Sheep's Tongue Apricot and Yahuan Lu'er, and he got out of the carriage and rode again.

It's not for the scenery along the way, he just wants to take a closer look at the various conditions along the way, after all, he stays in Daliang most of the time, and rarely has the opportunity to inspect local cities and counties, such as road conditions, water conservancy, farmland facilities, and so on.

That night, Zhao Hongrun and his entourage camped in the wilderness and nibbled on some dry food.

After all, they found a random place to get off the boat halfway because of Una's relationship, so they haven't figured out where they are yet, and naturally they can't talk about what county seat they can find.

However, the next morning, Zhao Hongrun and his party were lucky and found a village.

After spending some copper money, Zhao Hongrun and the others finally took a sip of hot soup, but more importantly, they asked the location from the mouths of local villagers.

Only then did they know that they were located in the southeast of 'Kaifeng' County at the moment, and if they walked in the southeast direction for a day or two, it would be 圉 (yǔ) County, and if they walked southwest for a day or two, it would be Anling.

If you find your bearings, you'll be fine.

"Childe, do you want to go directly to Anling?"

As he left the village, Shen Yu, the head of the sect, asked.

Zhao Hongrun pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Go to Yu County, and then transfer to Yangxia until Shangshui." ”

Shen Yu glanced at Zhao Hongrun with some surprise, and hugged his fists to take his life.

He didn't know the reason why Zhao Hongrun was reluctant to go to Anling first.

Because of Anling, there is a branch of the royal family surnamed Zhao surnamed Ji, which is none other than the old man of the original sect, Zhao Hongrun and his third uncle Zhao Laiyu.

Counting the days, Zhao Laiyu should have returned to Anling and defected to his children, grandchildren, uncles and nephews.

Even if it was Zhao Hongrun, he didn't dare to take such a few people directly to Anling, after all, he also knew that he would offend the third uncle Zhao Laiyu a lot.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun still decided to go to Shangshui first, because that was his territory. (To be continued.) )
