Tuoba Shen's convoy is on the right Yu Zhong and his own soldiers to escort the left and right, although the number of people is less than ten, and they are all around Tuoba Shen's car, but at this time in Pingcheng, there is no danger, not to mention that it is the official's convoy.

The convoy of hundreds of paces in front and back traveled all the way along the main road to the south gate, and Tuoba Shen sat in the car, listening to the grinding sound of the axles of the new cars as they went, and looking at the street scene on both sides through the gauze tent in a daze.

At this time, because the more than 200 cavalry under the command of Zhong Shuo were fully armed, straddled on horseback and ready to go, the cavalry led by the three team leaders were waiting for Yu Zhong on the left and right sides in front of the city gate, and some vehicles and people who were going to enter and leave the city were taken by the momentum of these sergeants, and stood afar to watch the discussion and point out, wondering why these sergeants were sitting on horses, this is the capital, and they are not afraid that these sergeants will be rude.

Not far from the sergeants was a group of young men who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in bearded trousers and trousers, with pigtails scattered on their heads, riding on horses, with a longbow hanging from their waists, and carrying quivers behind their backs. Looking at the momentum of these people, you can know that they are from the families of generations of generals, because they have lived with the elders in the family since they were children, and they do not have any sense of awe for these sergeants, but have some playfulness.

"Brother Mu, do you know who these cavalry are from?" The boy in the middle of the crowd asked the boy on his left

"I know, it's Zuo Zhonglang's general He Zhen's department."

"How do you know?"

"He is really an old general of Chang Guozi Yu Shangshu. Brother Wei has been in Shengle for a long time, and I don't know. ”

This so-called "Brother Wei" sneered, although he has been in Shengle for two years, but he still knows that the Mu family and the Yu family are not harmonious, the Mu family is the first of the eight families in the Daibei, and the Yu family is only the middle of the eight nobles, the Mu family now has Mu Taijue Feng Yigong, Mu Liangjue is the king of Zhao County, and Yu Lie is just a Changguo son, not an official at all. It's just that two years ago, Yu Lie was promoted to the palace Shangshu, a position that Mu Tai and Mu Liang both held, and it was a very important position, and he has always been regarded as a strong contender for the general of Zhengzhen or the general of the chariot and cavalry, and the general of the hussars. Yu Lie's appointment as the secretary of the palace will naturally challenge the development of the Mu family in the army, especially the young son of Mu Tai, who is the Mu family's house, is naturally hostile to his family.

Thinking of this, he was about to stab Mu Shaolangjun a few more words, but he saw Yu Lie's second son, Yu Zhong, riding a horse and escorting a rather luxurious heavy car.

Mu Tho, the young man of the Mu family, looked at the six-horse carriage behind Yu Zhong and said, "It seems that this is the second prince's car." ”

"What! Could it be that you also know the second prince? ”

"Humph!" Mu Tho is a concubine, how can he have the opportunity to know the prince, the surname Wei is deliberately satirizing his low status. If it is according to his temper, he has to fight on the spot, but the great-ancestor of the family surnamed Wei, Wei Yuan, is the emperor of the dynasty, and he is the king of Huaiyang, and he is not an idle family, even he has to endure this breath. However, if you can't fight, you can go to the hunting ground to fight and humiliate him.

"I'm waiting to gather here today, I was going to hunt, and I've seen this excitement, why don't you and I go to the south of the city to try it out immediately, and the one who gets more prey wins, how about it?"

"I've been in the old capital for a long time, and in two years, I've been hunting no less than seventy, why don't you dare, you can't afford to lose." Wei Jialang Jun Wei Yao said contemptuously, and after finishing speaking, he glanced at Mu Tho, turned the horse's head, lightly whipped the horse's belly, and ran towards the south of the city.

Mu Tho looked at Wei Yao's back, snorted angrily, touched the longbow, and followed with a whip. The young men in the back looked at each other, and immediately hurried to follow, no matter who wins or loses, there is always a good show to watch.

。。。。。。。。

Yu Zhong watched a group of powerful children roar away, and after a look, he recognized the two leaders, but according to his age, he was considered an elder, so naturally he would not pay much attention to a few young men. It was a whip horse that walked to the front of the queue, and beckoned to the three pairs of lords, saying: "There are many people here, so you don't have to stay, and each of you brings a hundred people, one team in front, and two teams in the side guard." After saying that, he returned to Tuoba Shen's car and replied to his own arrangement, Tuoba Shenzhi had nothing to do, and said: "Everything depends on Yu Qing's doing." ”

Yu Zhong got the reply, and raised the horsewhip in his hand and shouted in the air: "Go!" ”

。。。。。。。

The ten-mile post in the south of the city is different from the ordinary post station. The post station system of the past dynasties has a long history, when the two Han Dynasty, the officials of Zhishi can return to their hometowns through the official transmission of the imperial court, and since the funeral at the end of the Han Dynasty, the post station has been abolished, and the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms has been stopped or abolished, and the former Qin Fujian has engaged in infrastructure construction in Guanzhong, which is regarded as the restoration of the post station in Guanzhong, but later after the unification of Hebei, it has not been implemented. Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, due to the loss of official traditions, the folk gradually rose to the guest house, which is the predecessor of the folk inn in later generations, the guest house was very popular in the Tang Dynasty, and the record of "guest house" often appears in Tang poetry. However, at this time, the guest house is still in the development period, limited to the scale, it can not replace the role of the official transmission for the time being, because the guest house is not yet popular in many places, so the dynasty still mainly relies on the official station to provide services to the officials, the officials who moved, and the messengers who came and went, and some of the children of the powerful can also use money to get the official service. And now Tuoba Shen is going to go to the Shili Chuan Post is more complete than other post stations, this is because of the proximity to Heicheng, the officials and messengers who need to receive are endless, so the scale of the building is not only large, but also the variety of ingredients is more comprehensive. Outside the city, it happens to be a good place to hold a banquet and entertain guests.

At this time, on a small high slope on the way to the south of the city, Zheng Niangzi was standing on the high slope to watch the official road in the dense forest in the north, and there were four maids such as Ah Ling standing next to her.

There was also an ox cart parked at the foot of the high slope, and there were also five servants of the family beside the ox cart, who were arranged by my family to protect Mrs. Zheng. Although this is the capital, no one dares to make trouble in normal times, and even outside the city, there are few bad incidents, but after all, you may encounter some accidents, and you only bring these servants when you go out.

"Little lady, Your Highness will need some time to come! If the little lady goes to the car to rest for a while, the little maid is here to guard, if His Royal Highness arrives, the little maid will go to inform the little lady. Ah Ling glanced at the official road of the dense forest, and turned back to Zheng Niangzi

Zheng Niangzi shook her head lightly and said: "No need, Your Highness thinks it's time to come, it's boring to wait in the car, it's better to watch the scenery here." If you are tired, go to the car and rest. ”

"The little lady is not tired, where will the little maid be tired. But why don't you wait outside the city, and come to this official road where there are few pedestrians? ”

Zheng Niangzi listened to Ah Ling's question, opened her mouth, and finally didn't speak. There is no need to spend a lot of time outside the South City Gate, but there are too many pedestrians there, and it is really not a place to speak, I am afraid that the Second Highness and her can only take a quick look before they are separated. It's better to wait here, or at least give the prepared gift to His Highness in person. Thinking of this, Zheng Niangzi reached into her sleeve and touched it, and took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant made of white marble tied with red silk thread braids. It was carved by a carver she had personally found. The customs of Jiangnan, it is good to give men sachets, Jiangbei is different, don't send that. The jade pendant is a gentleman's ornament, which is just right for His Royal Highness.

The master and servant were looking at the official road in the distance while waiting, but there was a commotion from the dense forest below the slope, mixed with the galloping sound of horses, and it sounded like there was more than one horse. Zheng Niangzi and the others and the servants under the high slope followed the prestige, and saw a wild deer rushing out of the forest and running in the direction of the ox cart.

When several servants of the Zheng family were still in a daze, they saw two sharp arrows flying out of the forest, one was in the neck of the wild deer, and the arrow cluster came out from the other side, which showed that the person who sent the arrow was quite powerful, but the other arrow was quite different from the trajectory of the wild deer's running, and it hit the wheel of the Zheng family's ox cart, and the arrow cluster also entered the wood for about half an inch, and the buzzing sound of the arrow body frightened several servants of the Zheng family pale, and one of them almost sat on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, I saw two young men of the Chinese nationality wearing trousers and bearded clothes galloping out one after another, pulling the reins of the horses to stop the horses slightly, jumping off the horses and pounced on the wild deer, as if they were trying to compete for the wild deer.

These two really want to meet not long ago, Mu Tho and Wei Yao, who are high and low in hunting. After the two men entered the forest, they did not disperse to look for their prey, but instead kept an eye on each other, and as soon as they found the prey, they swarmed up, vowing to snatch the prey in their hands. After the two killed a few hares one after another, they found this wild deer, and they didn't care about picking up the dead hare, and came to chase the wild deer together, the purpose was nothing more than that they couldn't hunt it, and they couldn't let the other party get it, but this wild deer seemed to be very familiar with this place, turned left and right, and took the two of them around for a lot of time before catching up, and the two of them held back for a long time and shot the wild deer.

Zheng Niangzi saw that her car was shot by an arrow on the high slope, and she was also quite angry in her heart, but her family education was very good, and she couldn't even say anything unpleasant, so she could only be angry at these two reckless people. I was about to take the maid downhill to reason with people, but I heard Ah Lingxi say: "Little lady, Your Highness...... Your Highness is here! ”

Zheng Niangzi turned to look into the distance, and sure enough, she saw a wide heavy cart with six horses, and there were more than 100 cavalry guards in front of the car.

Zheng Niangzi didn't care about reasoning with the reckless, and walked down the high slope with the careful support of Ah Ling and others, and walked towards the official road.

Lu Guang, who was sitting on the left side of the front of the car, also saw Zheng Niangzi and the others on the high slope at this time, and didn't think much about it, jumped out of the car and walked to the window and said loudly: "Your Highness, Zheng Niangzi is here!" ”

Tuoba Shen was sitting in the car looking at the scenery on the side of the road, and suddenly heard Lu Guang's words, stood up and walked to the window, climbed the window with his right hand and asked, "Where is Mrs. Zheng?" He was still thinking about whether Mrs. Zheng would follow her grandfather to the post station, so he didn't see her all the way, but he didn't expect to meet her on the way to the post station.

"On the side of the official road! Your Highness looks at ......" Lu Guang said, pointing to Zheng Niangzi and the others who had just walked downhill to the side of the road in the distance.

Tuoba Shen looked at the side of the road in front of him, and if it was Zheng Niangzi, he felt a lot more happy in his heart.

Tuoba Shen saw that there were still 100 meters away from where Zheng Niangzi was, so he said to Lu Guang: "General Yu doesn't know Niangzi, you can go to General Yu to know." ”

When Tuoba Shen arrived in front of Zheng Niangzi, Liu Teng and Lu Guang took the ladder, and Tuoba Shen calmed down before getting out of the car.

When Mrs. Zheng saw Tuoba Shen get out of the car, she bowed solemnly and said, "The daughter of the Zheng family has seen His Highness!" ”

Tuoba Shen replied: "Mrs. Zheng is fine!" ”

"The little woman heard yesterday that His Highness was traveling south, and this morning she was ordered by her family to come here to see His Highness."

"Zheng Gong is polite, he should have gone to Zheng Mansion to inform him, but he was helpless and urgent, it was rude, and he asked Zheng Niangzi to report after returning to the palace."

Speaking these polite words for outsiders, Tuoba Shen and Zheng Niangzi felt tired and panicked, and they had no choice but to be in public, not as close as in the past, so they could only endure their emotions and say some boring things.

Thinking that he couldn't see Mrs. Zheng again for a few months, if he continued to be so polite, he was afraid that he would lose Mrs. Zheng's kindness in vain, so he should take the initiative!

"I was just outside the end gate, I heard that Secretary Zheng was going to Chuanyi to make a trip for me, can you please ask Mrs. Zheng to go to Chuanyi with the car first, there are few pedestrians in this place...... "As he spoke, he looked in front of the official road, but saw that two of the young men he had just seen outside the South City Gate were looking at this side not far in front of the Zheng family's ox cart, and there was a dead prey on the ground.

"Seeing that these two people are all murder weapons, they are not very safe, why don't you wait for Secretary Zheng to come, and then the lady will return with Secretary Zheng?" casually buttoned those two young men as villains and made an excuse.

Zheng Niangzi didn't expect that her grandfather would also come to see Tuoba Shen off, and saw Tuoba Shen invite her to go with her, although she was already an unmarried couple who had signed a marriage contract, but in public, Zheng Niangzi was still embarrassed to ride in the same car with Tuoba Shen, and she was shy for a while, and she didn't know whether she should agree.

Ah Ling saw that the little lady did not answer His Royal Highness's words, and saw His Royal Highness looking at the little lady, and her heart became anxious, but she was not good at agreeing on behalf of the little lady. With an idea, I remembered the two daredevils just now, so it was better to talk about this matter first, and then persuade the little lady myself. Thinking of this, Ah Ling was bold and talked about what had just happened, and finally said: "I don't know where I shot, I'm afraid that this cow will be frightened and won't be able to drive anymore for a while." ”

This Ah Ling is so smart! God assists, doesn't that give him a good excuse! Tuoba said in his heart, but his face was silent.

"Lu Qing, you go and ask General Yu, do you know who these two people are?" According to Tuoba Shen's temperament, he doesn't want to do much, but these two people have committed Zheng Niangzi this time, so it's not good for him to pretend not to know. It's not that he wants to pretend to be a slap in the face, he doesn't have this hobby. Besides, he relied on his status as the emperor's father to punish others, even if he was justified, others would think that he was bullying. It's just that now that Zheng Niangzi is in person, not to mention that Ah Ling said this again, how can he pretend that he didn't see it?

Lu Guang hurriedly went to ask Yu Zhong, Yu Zhong was still in front, just after listening to Lu Guang's identity of Zheng Niangzi, Yu Zhong remembered that the eldest prince and the second prince were married on the same day, and knew that Zheng Niangzi was here to see him off, so he didn't come over. Now I heard Lu Guang talk about the two young men shooting the oxcart with arrows, so I looked at the oxcart, and sure enough, there was an arrow stuck in the wheel.

This thing seems to be just a misunderstanding, it's not a big deal, but it depends on how His Royal Highness deals with it, this time the Zheng family girl is lucky, not in the car, if it's bad luck, I don't know how to end it? It's nothing that Mu Tho Weiyao received a little punishment.

Yu Zhong took a few personal soldiers to step forward, and said to the two strong and strong young hunters of the general's family: "Your Highness dares to be so rude, if the two family monarchs know, I am afraid that they will come to ask for the crime in person!" ”

Mu Tho Weiyao listened to Yu Zhong's words and knew that he was right, the two of them didn't run away just now, one was too embarrassed, the other was that Yu Zhong recognized them, and it was useless to escape, and the third was that this matter was not a big deal, but it was just a mistake to hit the wheel of the ox cart. In addition, when I saw this girl wearing Hanfu, I didn't pay much attention to it.

"Dare to ask Yu Shilang, what is the history of this girl and His Royal Highness?" With the intention of understanding even if he is unlucky, Wei Yao asked

"I want to teach you to know that this is the fourth daughter and grandson of Secretary Zheng's chief office, and the wife of His Royal Highness. If you don't want this matter to make a big fuss, you should hurry up and make it clear, Your Highness is generous and will not blame you deeply. ”

Mu Tho and Wei Yao glanced at each other, didn't hesitate any longer, walked up to Tuoba Shen together, bowed down and said, "Xiaomin see Your Highness." ”

Tuoba Shen had already learned their identities from Lu Guang, so he naturally dispelled the idea of punishing them, after all, nothing irreparable had really happened, it was just a shot to the wheel, and it was really not good to make a fuss. These two people are not ordinary little people, the elders of the family are first-class ministers in the court, Mu Tai is also one of the emperor's protectors, deeply trusted by the emperor, Wei Yuan is a great hero who swept away Qingqi and was crowned king, even his maternal grandfather Zhang Yan asked him to surrender and was recommended by him to the court. Although Wei Yuan was just on official business back then, this situation still needs to be remembered.

"This official road pedestrian coming-and-going place, is really not a place for hunting, the two Lang Jun are accurate archery, quite a strong person, this time only shot the wheel, but also self-reliant, if it hurts people's lives, the national law will not be merciful. The prince of Huaiyang and Feng Yigong are old, even if you are not able to be filial piety, don't let the second prince worry about state affairs, and take care of family affairs! Tuoba Shen looked at the two of them and said in a serious manner

Mu Tho and Wei Yao listened to Tuoba Shen's extremely inappropriate lecture, and glanced at each other slightly, only feeling ridiculous, as if they were ten years old, and the old man in his fifties or sixties was reasoning on the other side, and the two of them nodded bitterly with a face, and apologized to Mrs. Zheng again and again.

Since Tuoba Shen felt that he couldn't cure them, he was too lazy to waste time on them, and after sending them away casually, he said to Zheng Niangzi: "The lady is frightened by the car, but I'm afraid that it will not be good to ride again, why don't you go to the post first, and return to the city together after Zheng Gong arrives, when I leave the palace, my mother is a thing for me, and I want to find someone to appreciate it. ”

Zheng Niangzi heard Tuoba Shen say that there were objects, and then she remembered that he was also preparing a gift, and it was not easy to give it here, plus Ah Ling was anxious to hint a lot, so she nodded na.
