My Fair Lady, Gentleman.

The Han army at the checkpoint may not be a gentleman, but for these guards, who sometimes haven't seen a woman for half a year, a few gorgeous women suddenly appear in front of them, and it is difficult to resist the temptation no matter what.

After three years as a soldier, the sows have become beauties.

What's more, the woman who appeared in front of them was secretly selected from Hanzhong, and even if she was wandering among the flowers all day long, she might not be tempted.

"General Cao, this time I have been ordered by the emperor to send a few beauties to Xianyang." Ji Jincai said: "There are two beauties who were specially given to Prince Qu as concubines, they came from my Dachu nobles, and the original intention was to let the two countries have a good relationship with each other, and the contemptible people came from the Ministry of Rites, and some etiquette was inevitable, if they were handed over to General Cao to be sent to Xianyang, this .....!" "Didn't go on.

Qu Manbao's lustful name is not known in the world, but it is well known in the northwest.

For the sake of beauty, there was no less blood under Qu Manbao's hands.

Cao Ying couldn't figure out whether what Ji Jincai said was true or false for a while, and she was still somewhat wary in her heart.

"Captain, the former Chai Army Division secretly went out of the customs from here, we didn't dare to ask more at the time, but now it seems that it did go to the Chu State." General Cao Ying hesitated, and a person on the side approached and whispered: "This person said that Chai Junshi formed an alliance with the Chu State in the past, it may not be false, and you see that there are only dozens of people in the group, and they also brought a lot of gifts, so they should really go to return the gift to the third prince." ”

Cao Ying said in a low voice: "At this very moment, you must be cautious, if these people have bad intentions, when the time comes, the upper authorities will investigate it, and we will fall to the ground." ”

"What tricks can they do?" The man on the side leaned close to Cao Ying's ear and said, "Captain, this old guy said that there is a beauty for the eldest prince, this is not ordinary." Think about it, if you really offend this group of people today, then those two beauties will be favored by the eldest prince, and we should be like this in the ears of the eldest prince, but we can't eat and walk around. ”

Cao Ying also had some palpitations when she thought of Qu Manbao's moody temperament, and asked in a low voice, "Then what do you say?" ”

"Let them in." The man whispered, "But they have collected all their weapons, and since they are a mission, and they are not a handing over troops, there is no need for them to take their weapons on the road." ”

Cao Ying bowed his head and said: "What you said is extremely true. Only then did he shout below: "Since we are going to return the salute to the third prince, we can let you pass, but your weapons must be handed over, and you are not allowed to bring weapons on the road." ”

Ji Jincai said: "General Cao, we carry weapons with us, also to prevent accidents, if we hand over the weapons, once we encounter a critical situation, don't we even have the ability to protect ourselves?" ”

"From here to Xianyang, the journey is peaceful, what is the accident?" Cao Ying said: "If you are really worried, I will send a few people to send you to Xianyang to keep you safe all the way." ”

The man next to him also shouted: "You are an embassy, what weapons do you need to bring with you for the sake of the alliance between the two countries?" ”

Ji Jin hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Since this is the case, according to General Cao's words, we will hand over our weapons." ”

Cao Ying thought to herself that since the other party handed over the weapon so quickly, it seemed that it was really an embassy, otherwise if the other party really had any bad intentions, it would be impossible for him to agree to hand over the weapon so happily.

When he saw Ji Jin, he returned to the team and gave an order, and everyone untied the swords on their bodies, including Qi Ning, and several people, including Qi Ning, even untied the bows and arrows they were carrying on their bodies, and they were all sent to the stone wall and piled together.

Cao Ying then ordered people to go down and took some time to open the entrance to the stone wall, and first sent soldiers out to move all the weapons back, and then signaled to Ji Jincai that he could enter the customs.

Ji Jincai led the way in front, and the team entered the card post like a long snake, although the weapons had been handed over, but the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty were still very vigilant, and they all held the hilt of their swords.

Cao Ying had already come down from the wall, and Ji Jincai smiled and said, "Thank you General Cao for your accommodation." He took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, stuffed them into Cao Ying's hand, and said with a smile: "This is a little meaning, go back and General Cao will invite the brothers to drink a glass of wine on my behalf." ”

Cao Ying was also happy, kicked up the silver ticket, glanced at everyone, and then walked to the side of the carriage, glanced at Ji Jincai, and suddenly reached out and lifted the curtain of the car, and saw several women sitting inside, Cao Ying suddenly opened the curtain, and the women immediately lowered their heads.

Cao Ying smiled, lowered the curtains, and saw a car pulling a big box behind her, and walked over and said, "What is in this box?" ”

"There are antique calligraphy and paintings, some of them are treasures given from the palace, some are given to the three princes, and some are given to General Qu Lao." Ji Jincai said with a smile.

Cao Ying said: "Open it and take a look? ”

Ji Jincai frowned and said, "General Cao, this is unreasonable, right?" As you can see, these boxes have seals and can only be opened when they reach Xianyang. ”

"There will be a military order in the body, even if someone passes the customs, they must be carefully checked." Cao Ying said: "Open the box and let's check it." ”

Ji Jincai stared at Cao Ying, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Go back!" When he turned around, he was about to go back, Qi Ning and the others immediately made a gesture to turn back, Cao Ying was stunned, and suddenly became a little anxious, and stopped: "What does this mean?" ”

"General Cao, this official is also an envoy of Dachu, thinking of the alliance between the two countries, you let us hand over the weapons, we don't have any nonsense, in order to make you good on an errand, all the weapons are also handed over." Ji Jincai said coldly: "Now you know that this box has a seal, but you still want us to open the box, it is difficult for the strong, could it be that my Great Chu Mission is at your mercy?" Since General Cao insisted on inspecting, the official could only return to China and explain everything to the emperor. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”

Cao Ying suddenly panicked, secretly thinking that he was a little lieutenant, if it was really because he let the Chu State delegation turn around, and then Xianyang would investigate it, he was afraid that Zhu would not even be enough for the nine clans, so he hurriedly said: "That's it, don't be angry, I'm just acting on orders." Since there is a seal, it will not be difficult for me to be for you. ”

Ji Jincai snorted lightly and ordered, "Go!" ”

Cao Ying said: "I will send five people to you to escort you to Xianyang." At that moment, five people were ordered to follow the team to Xianyang.

After Qi Ning entered the customs, he had long been quietly observing the surrounding situation, the first thing he wanted to find was the location of the watchtower, as he had estimated before, the checkpoint on the side of the Northern Han people was indeed roughly similar to that of the Chu State, only a hundred steps away from the stone wall, there was a watchtower standing there, and the watchtower was also lit with torches to facilitate the transmission of beacon smoke, and there were two sentries on the tower, holding a longbow.

As far as I can see in the outpost, there are about twenty or thirty people, and the strength is not much, but all of them are tigers and bears, and the fierce atmosphere of the Northwest people is diffused all over their bodies.

Qi Ning knew that there should be more than these people on the other side, and there should be soldiers nearby.

After selecting five people, Ji Jin suddenly ordered someone to bring a jar of wine from the car and send it to Cao Ying: "General Cao, this is the wine treasured in the palace, specially sent to Xianyang, leave a jar here, you can also taste it." ”

There are very few soldiers who don't drink, and this Cao Ying is even more of a drunkard, but he only drinks very crude wine on weekdays, and he is just a school captain, how can he ever drink wine in the palace, he is very happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I am not welcome." He took it and held it in his arms, his eyebrows full of joy.

Ji Jincai did not delay, and with a wave of his hand, the team continued to move north.

After the team walked only two miles, Qi Ning saw a row of small cabins built on the side of the road, the terrain here was a little spacious, and the cabins were built against the mountain wall, and Qi Ning knew that this should be the barracks of the sentry guards.

There were indeed some soldiers in the barracks, and when they saw the team coming, the soldiers in the barracks were all alarmed, Qi Ning glanced at it, there were more than a dozen people on this side of the barracks, and a few of them wore this apron around their waists, and there was smoke on the roof of one of the rooms, and it was the kitchen at a glance, and the food of the defenders should be on this side.

At this time, he determined the number of people here, and there were about forty or fifty people in total, which was not a large number.

The team walked in front of the row of wooden houses, and the five soldiers who were sent to lead the way greeted the soldiers in the barracks and explained the situation, and the team did not stop, but continued to walk forward, and walked out of four or five miles, the sky was already dark, and Ji Jin asked a soldier: "Is there a checkpoint in front?" ”

"More than twenty miles ahead, there is a checkpoint." A soldier said: "If you want to get there, it is estimated that it will be midnight, and there is a rough road ahead, so you have to delay time." ”

Ji Jincai bowed slightly, and said: "After working all day, everyone is tired, walk two miles further, let's rest first." ”

The Han soldiers did not doubt him, and said: "There is really a spacious place in front, rest there for the night, and wait for dawn before walking, because you can't see the road clearly at night, and if you are not careful, you will break your foot." ”

Not long after walking forward, he saw a rather spacious place, Ji Jin ordered everyone to stop, and distributed dry food to everyone.

After the Han soldiers received dry food and had eaten and drunk enough, they saw that many people in the mission had fallen asleep on the ground, and some people were sitting on the edge of the stone wall to talk and laugh, and these Han soldiers did not come over, but gathered together to talk and laugh, and between being bored and lazy, two or three people also lay on the ground and fell asleep, and it didn't take long for the remaining two people to be drowsy.

After Qi Ning used the dry food, he had been leaning against the stone wall and closing his eyes to recuperate, and after a long time, he listened to the movement around him, and when he opened his eyes and looked over, he saw that Ji Jincai had already approached, and said to himself in a low voice: "Sir, they are all asleep!" ”

Qi Ning turned his head to look at the Han soldiers, at this time, the sky was dark, and the distance that could be seen in the narrow passage was extremely short, but Qi Ning's eyesight was amazing, and when he saw those people, he really fell asleep, his eyes were cold, and he said softly: "It's almost time." "Reaching into the boots, he took out the cold blade that had been sharpened like clay and held it in his hand.
