When Luo Yuhong left from Yazhou, the civil and military officials such as the governor of Yazhou, the prince of Yazhou, and Chen Fajie, the agent of the Yazhou Shouyu Qianhu Office, left the city again to see him off, which was no less than the last time Zhu Pingjin led the army to leave Yazhou. Wang Guochen and other upper-level officials who took refuge in the palace already knew about the shocking changes in Chengdu. Zhu Pingjin succeeded to the throne of the domain, and Luo Yuhong rose to the top and became the future princess of Shu.

Luo Jingyun led two platoons of the Fifth Company to escort his sister along the way. He had to be sent to Pengshan County until he was handed over to Liu Hongting before he could return to Yazhou. The reason why Luo Yuhong attaches so much importance to road safety is not only because of the catastrophe of the rent collection yard, but also because there are more than 600 catties of heavy special goods along the way - 10,000 taels of gold she earned through tea and horse smuggling. Gold cannot be consumed locally, otherwise the difference in the exchange price of gold and silver between regions will not be reflected, so it can only be shipped to Chengdu. In Tianquan locality, 10,000 taels of sand gold can only be exchanged for about 60,000 or 70,000 taels of silver. If it is transported to Chengdu for re-smelting and purification, it can be exchanged for at least 900,000 to 100,000 tons of silver.

At the end of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, it is already the taste of midsummer. The four-horse two-wheeled cart swayed one after another, the veils hanging on the vermilion paint carport were wave after wave, and Luo Yuhong lay on the soft mat, squinting at the sunset on the horizon. It's been half a year, and I can finally stay quietly with my husband for a while. I don't know if Zhu Pingjin became the king of Shu, will the princess arrange other women by his side?

"Miss, what do you want?" Xiaohong, who was sitting next to her, asked, "How good is the prince to you!" I hold your hand when I walk, I'm afraid that you will fall, Miss, what are you worried about? ”

"Silly girl, do you think a man will like you for the rest of his life? Men are all bad seeds, swear and curse on you, what do you want? It's your body! When he gets it and has had enough, he'll find a new love! What is it called? It's called the seven-year itch! Luo Yuhong seized the opportunity and began to tell Xiaohong about the way of husband and wife in an old-fashioned manner, and taught a few tricks of taming husbands by the way.

"Oh, I can't imagine that these shameful things Miss knows!" The little red face is as its name suggests, but his eyes are blazing, and he has never heard of it at all.

"It's over! Patronize the mouth and be happy, and it's goofs again! Luo Yuhong sighed in her heart, "I really don't know how Zhu Pingjin came over in the palace!" It's my father and mother again, and I'm the eunuch palace maid minister and general, and I don't show any traces, and I am still very prosperous. It's not easy! People who have stayed in the system, the ability to talk to people and talk nonsense is better than those of us who are flat-headed people! ”

"There's a cavalry ahead! About fifty people, approaching us quickly! I didn't see the flag clearly, and the meaning was unknown! A scout horse came back in a panic. Perhaps it was a lack of riding skills, and the spy was rocking on the horse's back, looking embarrassed as if he was about to fall.

"The landslide is in front of you, but the color remains the same! Calm down, everyone! We have passed through Shuangliu County, which is only fifteen miles away from Chengdu Mansion, where are the thieves? The general expected that he must have heard that Miss Luo was back, and the palace sent guards to greet him. Tanma will go to investigate again, remember to play the banner of the palace! A young general on a horse shouted.

The young general who spoke was Tao Xiansheng, the deputy company commander of the first company. He led two platoons of the first company and was responsible for the security of Luo Yuhong and his party from Pengshan County to Chengdu Prefecture. Tao Xiansheng was born in the left guard of the palace, and he had a job of testing hundreds of households from six grades, but his father and his grandfather were serious scholars, and his father also won the Xiucai fame. He turned out to be a scholar, and last year he was forced to put on his armor again when he was mobilized by the left guard. He first escorted the prince to Tianquan, and after participating in the rebellion in Yazhou, he was encouraged by the Song Zhenzong brothers to participate in the Bifengxia training. After the completion of the intensive training, he and Liu Lianpeng were the only two escort officers designated by Zhu Pingjin as deputy company ranks, and the rest were at the platoon level and deputy platoon level.

Tanma went out and came back soon after, and it was really the palace guards who came to greet him. Tao Xiansheng breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the battle formation to be disbanded, and the convoy continued to move forward.

The two-wheeled cart continued to shake. Xiaohong couldn't hold it back, lifted the veil and stretched out her head, curiously watching the cavalry speeding in the distance. Iron hooves rumbled, kicking up dust from the ground and winding along the avenue for miles. There is a big flag in front of the team, and the sunset is obliquely shining, which is particularly eye-catching.

It is a triangular long flag with red background and gold edges, a golden dragon is in the middle, and the colorful seven-chapter pattern is embellished on both sides of the dragon, and the dragon is wrapped in a big word on a white background - "Shu".

The dragon flag of the Shu character pierces the evening breeze, and the hunt flutters. the leading young general, wearing a burlap hat and a hat; Wearing a large red right-sided shirt with narrow sleeves, a lan-pleated skirt with a knee underneath, and embroidered with dragon moire patterns on both shoulders and chest (Note 1), he was heroic and full of brilliance.

"Wow, the prince is so handsome today!" The little red eyes are good, and they call out from a long distance from the horse team.

Luo Yuhong stretched out her head, just glanced at it, and immediately patted Xiaohong's shoulder and shouted, "Stop!" Where's my palace outfit? Is it in the car in front? ”

Xiaohong turned around and said, "Yes, Miss can't wear it, I'll put it away." ”

"Who said I won't wear it, go get it, I'll change my clothes immediately."

"What? Change clothes here? ”

"Yes, it's now. You're here to block me! Don't be stunned, go! ”

"Which one? Red or yellow? ”

"Red. Wear it like a couple's outfit! ”

"What couple......?"

"Sensei nonsense, go!" Luo Yuhong was so anxious that she slapped Xiaohong in the back, "And my hat jewelry!" ”

When a woman changes her clothes and makeup, it is extremely impolite to interrupt rashly, and it is most likely to arouse her disgust.

Zhu Pingjin patiently rode on the horse, waiting for Luo Yuhong to change clothes. When Luo Yuhong got out of the car and appeared, Zhu Pingjin's eyes suddenly lit up:

He wears a black gauze brown hat with a black gauze tip on it, and the hat is filled with all kinds of beads and gemstones; There are white jade pendants with gold rings hanging from both ears; Wearing a white collarless jacket with a corcasse buckle and curved sleeves, and a lily pattern complement on the front and back; Below, a big red woven golden cloud dragon sea pattern skirt. His cheeks were powdered, his lips were rouge, and his eyebrows and eyeliner were carefully traced.

For the first time, Zhu Pingjin felt that his wife was so beautiful.

This is the style of palace dress, and it must be a little red handwriting. Da Hong and Lily are completely dressed up before marriage, which is nothing more than a way to remind themselves.

The old husband and wife, Zhu Pingjin understands his wife's careful thoughts. In this new time and space, if you don't hold a wedding for a day, your wife won't give up for a day. He jumped off the horse with a smile, and in front of more than 100 young soldiers from the first company and the guard platoon, he took Luo Yuhong's hand and got back into the car.

The veil still fell, the people and horses continued to move, and the pennant with the red background and gold edge colorful seven chapters of Panlong Shu fluttered again.

Tao Xiansheng led two platoons of infantry in the first company, but because he couldn't keep up with the speed of the cavalry, he broke away from the brigade and advanced to Chengdu Mansion alone. After completing the material escort mission, they did not return to Pengshan. There is no shortage of soldiers on Pengshan's side now. When Shu Guoping and Liu Hongting were in Pengshan, they had already used the first and second companies as a foundation to expand a basic squadron of the Zhuang Protection Team, and the personnel were all newly recruited Zhuang households. The squadron leader of the backbone squadron is Chen Youfu's fellow countryman Liu Sangen. Tao Xiansheng will rush to a Wangzhuang in Hanzhou, and then serve as the squadron leader of the basic squadron of the Hanzhou Zhuangzhuang Protection Team, and use the 100 people in his hand to expand a complete company-level unit.

Luo Yuhong comfortably arched her head into Zhu Pingjin's arms, but Zhu Pingjin looked nervously at the golden hairpin on his wife's head. The sharp tip of the golden hairpin was moving up and down on the left and right sides of his heart.

"How did I not know your horse was so well ridden in the past?" Luo Yuhong touched the dragon embroidered on his chest with his fingers and asked in a low voice.

As soon as the wife is gentle, she will talk about melons.

"I have a VIP Platinum Card at J International Racecourse. Took you there once and you forgot? ”

"You corrupt man!" Zhu Pingjin received a pink punch, "Why are you wearing a woman's skirt today?" It's so coquettish! But it's pretty good-looking, Xiaohong is trembling when she sees a nymphomaniac! ”

"Coquettish? This is the most dazzling national style! It's not a skirt, it's called YESAN! It was worn when fighting on horseback. Mom asked me to do it, so I had to put it on. My father died, my mother was in a bad mood, I had to follow the rules, and if I wore it, it was called filial piety, which was in line with the current mainstream values, and it was not good for others to talk nonsense. ”

"It's nice to have someone take care of you. I'll take care of you in the future. Luo Yuhong spoke with her eyes closed.

"I wish I could."

"No sincerity at all. My dad, you went to see it? ”

It's over, I forgot.

"I'm very busy during this time......"

Luo Yuhong opened her eyes and slapped Zhu Pingjian: "Start lying again!" As soon as you start to be duplicitous, your heart beats faster. ”

"I didn't even know it myself. It seems that you have to practice diligently, otherwise you won't be able to pass the polygraph. ”

"That's it!" Luo Yuhong smiled proudly.

"But your father is really powerful, and he actually knows that it was Thunder Fordii who poisoned my father."

"What's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the government looked for your father at that time, and your father recognized the poison at a glance." Zhu Pingjin didn't want to say much about it, so he said: "You'll know when you go back." ”

Luo Yuhong didn't think of anything else, but just asked: "This time your father died, won't you become the king of Shu?" ”

Zhu Pingjin smiled: "Of course. The petition for the closure of the government affairs was sent to Beijing a few days ago, but it may take six months for it to be approved. You know how primitive the means of transport are nowadays. ”

"So I just lay down all the way back so that I don't have back pain." Luo Yuhong squinted her eyes and writhed in Zhu Pingjian's arms and said coquettishly: "This time you left Luo Jingyun in Yazhou, are you not at ease with Wang Guochen?" ”

"Not exactly!" Zhu Pingjin shook his head, "Wang Guochen is very honest now. His family moved from Xi'an, and I placed their whole family in Huayang County, right under my nose, can he not be honest? Luo Jingyun stayed in Yazhou, not only because he was really needed there, but also because it was a check and balance of power. People change. As rights and status change, people will change with them. Sometimes this change is so fast that it can be like a lifetime away in a matter of days! Luo Jingyun was there, a reminder to them. Don't think that if you leave, they can do whatever they want, and they can embezzle and take bribes at will like before! Exploit the people at will to take advantage! ”

Luo Yuhong opened her eyes and looked at Zhu Pingjian, "Your face has become tender, and your heart is still the same as before, you always want to be a savior." ”

"The true character of a scholar cannot be changed in this life." Zhu Pingjin smiled bitterly and laughed at himself, but his eyes quickly shone brightly, "However, when the two of us came to this era, wasn't it the will of heaven to let you and me be the saviors?" ”

But Luo Yuhong was indifferent. She closed her eyes again, and the corners of her mouth showed sarcasm: "The world is made up of ordinary people. There are many whites and few old drivers. As for the hero, he is destined to be an anomaly, and even more so a tragedy. I'm just a greedy and jealous layman, not as big as you. I just want to spend some time with the people I love in this era. What you want to do, of course I support you. But don't bother me with all the messy things in your officialdom. I don't want to worry about it, I don't have the ability to do it, and it's the best thing to do. ”

The two wooden wheels of the cart spun very fast. After a while, the group could already see the South Gate Tower of Chengdu Mansion. The Chengdu Simen Tower was renovated in the Jiajing Dynasty and does not look as dilapidated as the city wall.

Zhu Pingjin stared at the gray intercity line in the distance, and kept his mouth shut and did not speak. His wife sat up and asked him curiously, "I'm in a daze again!" What are you thinking? ”

Zhu Pingjin said: "I'm thinking about the future. What will this place look like in the next 300 or 500 years? ”

"Three hundred years? Five hundred years? Luo Yuhong asked rhetorically: "Isn't that what we looked like before we came?" ”

"It's not going back to the way we were before. Now that we are here, history is bound to change. I came back to you this time to discuss the future with you. Now we have a little soldier on hand, a little money and food, and we can do a great job. But I'll have to discuss with you how to do it. ”

"Isn't it about us getting married?" Luo Yuhong had already pouted.

"My dad just died...... It's not appropriate, right? Zhu Pingjin took off his hat, pointed to the burlap covered on it, and said helplessly to his wife. At this time, the cart approached the city gate. Luo Yuhong shook around, the officers and soldiers guarding the road, and the pedestrians on the side of the road were all wrapped in white cloths.

Among all of them, the most flamboyant is herself.
