Chapter 56: Simple Task

Almost all bosses like to let their employees travel overtime, and it seems that if they don't do so, they can't show the superiority of the boss. When you're tired like a dog on the road, the boss sits at the executive desk drinking coffee or green tea. Looking at the company's statements, I was so interested that I might even tease the female secretary.

The princes of Great Qin can be regarded as high-ranking nobles no matter how they say. Yun Yue didn't find the feeling of being a boss at all, but a woman did have one. is still a stunning beauty, but definitely not a well-behaved and lovely female secretary, more like a ...... Supervision!

"Qing nobleman, this day's march of 100 miles is already the limit. We can't rush like this anymore, you see that Changping Jun's men have begun to fall behind. Yun Yue pointed out the window helplessly. Since the second day on the road, Qin Qing has been stationed in Yun Yue's carriage. It's no wonder that horse-drawn carriages of this era were not suitable for long journeys. What's more, it was still a forced march of more than 100 miles a day.

In just one day, Qin Qing's carriage lay down. No matter how the riders beat the horses, those horses will not move. Four horses were wasted in one day, even if there were mountains of gold and silver at home, it was not enough for such a scourge.

So Qin Qing got into Yun Yue's carriage, and the Yun family's four-wheeled carriage had simple bearings. There is also a simple shock absorption of the copper rail reform, and the gallop road of Daqin is very smooth. Although it is also very difficult to travel 100 miles a day, it is definitely not an impossible task.

What's more, the horses of the Yun family are all double-matched. A few horses can walk for one day, and the next day they can do without a pack cart. Switching to a few other horse-drawn carts, so that the horses can be circulated without hurting at all. The Yun family used cakes to feed the war horses, which made Changping Jun's war horses sad. It's really the same as a horse, because anyone can eat such good food. Look at the hay in your trough. The tears were coming down.

The people of the Yun family are all one person and two horses. In Pingliang, he has already practiced a good riding skill. But Chang Pingjun's subordinates were a little miserable. Xianyang City is so brave and ruthless, these guys are experts. But within three days of coming out of Xianyang, one by one's butts were broken into eight petals! The main thing is the war horses, which are not at all adapted to such a long march. The team dragged on for five miles, and more and more of Changpingjun's men were left behind. Yun Yue couldn't help it, and it was estimated that only his own team would be left if he set off tomorrow

"Even if you get rid of that garbage!" Qin Qing gave Yun Yue a big roll of the eyes, and she didn't care whether Changping Jun's subordinates were dead or alive. She only cares about whether Yun Yue can receive the princess of Chu in time, which is related to the status of the Mi family in Daqin. Qin Qing didn't dare to be sloppy.

β€œβ€¦β€¦οΌβ€ Yun Yue reluctantly got out of the carriage, and now her carriage was occupied by Qin Qing and her maids. I can only run out and ride a horse. This woman is so beautiful. To be honest, Yun Yue was a little tempted. But this woman is a rose with thorns, and if you want to touch it, you have to weigh whether it will prick your hands.

Yun Yue didn't dare to make this attempt, and let such a black-bellied woman go home. The legend of Zhen Huan will definitely be staged at home, in case this noble person feels sorry for her...... The emperor's fate was not very good.

Xiaobai let out a long yawn and jumped off the grain cart. It can be seen from the boss's depressed face that his own boss is deflated again. Men are like that, no matter how good a man is, he will be deflated by a woman. Especially...... Pretty woman.

A jump got off the grain cart, and Xiaobai calmly got into the carriage. In the huge carriage, a deafening scream immediately sounded.

The speed of the convoy is really fast. From Xianyang, it took four days to cover a distance of 350 miles. In front is the Wuguan that guards the southeast half of the Great Qin, and the Wuguan and Hangu Pass, Xiao Pass, and Dasan Pass become the "four stops of Qin". Wuguan has a long history. Far away in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was built, and the name was "Shaoxi Pass", and it was changed to "Wuguan" during the Warring States Period. The north is based on the lofty Shaoxi Mountain, and the south is endangered to be built with soil to the city wall, which is slightly square. A door was opened in the east and west, and the roll hole was covered with bricks and stones. Only out of the east of the pass, stretching the mountainside winds through, the cliff is high and the valley is deep, narrow and difficult to walk, so Wuguan is the place where the ancient soldiers must fight.

When you arrive at Wuguan, you will naturally meet Du Bi, who is the guard of Wuguan and is responsible for the defense of the entire southeastern Qin-Chu border. On the opposite side is Shangcai, an important military town of Chu State, which faintly has the meaning of competing with Great Qin.

"Yunhou ......! Hahaha, Yunhou came to the old man with the order to do his duty, and he never went far to meet the forgiveness of sins! "Far away, Du Bi gave up his hand in front of the pass. Dressed in casual clothes in green clothes, with a simple bun on his head. It looks like an ordinary scholar, and no one can imagine it if you don't introduce it. This is the commander of the Great Qin, who commanded 50,000 sons and daughters to control the Great Qin Xiongguan.

Seeing Yun Yue's arrival, Du Bi didn't have the shelf of a general at all. bowed to Yun Yue and Changping Jun, and his slightly pale face was very Confucian.

"General Du Bi is polite, Yun Yue is ordered by the Queen Mother. came to welcome the princess of Chu into Qin and married His Royal Highness the Prince. I wonder if Her Royal Highness the princess has arrived? "People are polite, Yun Yue naturally has to be polite. If Yun Yue knew, this old guy had conspired with Empress Dowager Xia several times to trap himself. I believe that if you go up, you will kick the old guy to death.

"Uh...... Someone has been sent to the territory of Chu State, but there is no news of the princess of Chu State. The post house has been prepared below, and the gentleman and Yunhou are also invited to enter the customs to rest. In order for Du Bi to do his best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, Yunhou is my famous general of Daqin. At a young age, he hunted the Huns in the north, and the old man just took this opportunity to get close to Yunhou. If you can get Yunhou's advice, then the old man will have no worries! ”

I have to say that on the surface, Du Bi is definitely a kind person. Speaking is like a spring breeze, and it is easy to gain the favor of others. Yun Yue had a feeling of unconsciously wanting to get close, and turned her head to look at Changping Jun. I'm really tired these days, look at Changpingjun's messy hair. This dude doesn't seem to be much better.

Changping Jun was also a little embarrassed, to be honest, although the nominal leader of this team was Yun Yue, he was the one with the highest title. But it was obviously the one in the carriage who had the final say, and even Yun Yue couldn't decide anything without her to speak.

As soon as the curtain of the carriage was lifted, Qin Qing's maid walked down. Walked up to Changping Jun and bent his knees and said, "Your Majesty, Yunhou!" It is very important to welcome Her Royal Highness the Princess of Chu this time, please don't delay in Wuguan and go straight to Chu. After saying that, he didn't wait for the two to answer, and returned to the carriage.

The expression of astonishment only appeared on Du Bi's face for a moment. He stroked his beard and smiled silently. There was definitely a man in the carriage who couldn't be messed with. Probably a woman. If Yun Yue and Changping Jun can be so jealous, they must be the people next to the Empress Dowager Huayang. The shrewd Du Bi's brain only turned slightly. I guessed who it was.

But Qin Qing's trip to Xianyang this time was very secret, and even the secret report from the Empress Dowager Xia was not mentioned. Du Bi was also selectively blind and pretended not to see.

The guards next to him were all shocked, and no one expected that a maid would dare to talk to a prince and a prince like this.

"Uh......! General Du's kindness is understood by the king, but the king's order is in his body, and he can only live up to General Du's good intentions. We're out of the gate. Go to Chu to greet Her Royal Highness the Princess of Chu. Changping Jun didn't seem to lack grace at any time, and said to Du Bi with a bow.

"The king is so dedicated, Du Bi admires. Come and switch and escort Jun Shang and Yunhou out of the customs! As soon as Du Bi waved his hand, a soldier opened the gate. Yun Yue and his entourage walked straight to Chudi.

Stepping into the land of Chu for the first time, Yun Yue was a little novel. In these years, there is no need to apply for a passport when going abroad, and there is no customs inspection visa. Walking only a dozen miles away, it is a small border city in Chu State.

On both sides of the road, there were some officials of the Chu State who were kneeling in red, and they were even more respectful when they saw the arrival of the frame. The head was pestled to the ground, and he didn't dare to raise his head at all.

Could it be that the domineering spirit in his body exploded. Or is the name of the Great Qin Liehou too loud to scare these Chu people? Yun Yue looked at the situation in front of her, a little overwhelmed.

"I've seen Childe!" Walk up to the group. An old man in his fifties straightened up and said.

Yun Yue then remembered that Changping Jun's other identity was the prince of Chu. It is no wonder that these low-level officials of the Chu State will bow down, and their identities are indeed not the slightest disparity.

Looking at this small border city again, the three-mile city and the seven-mile Guo are not wrong at all. Looking at this scale, it seems that it is the level of county-level cities in later generations, and it is estimated that this old man in red is a great person. This kind of small cadre, seeing a leader like Changpingjun, is estimated to be very nervous.

"What's your name?" Changping Jun didn't mean to get off the horse at all, but just pointed at the old man with a horsewhip and asked.

"Little Lao'er Ling Yin is this Guocheng County official. Childe has something to do, but please command! ”

"Ling Yin ......! Do you know where the princess's luan went? Why was the trip delayed? ”

"Back to Gongzi's words, the princess's Luan drive should have taken the waterway to Shangcai last month. Then he came to Guocheng by land, but who would have thought that the boat would hit the reef halfway, but fortunately, God blessed Her Royal Highness the princess without damage. It's just that the boat is terrible, and the waterway doesn't dare to go anymore, so I can only take the land route to Guocheng. ”

"By road......!" Changping-kun was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and he almost jumped up. Shouchun is far away from the mountains and rivers here, and the roads of Chu are far less flat than those of Qin. This land to come to Guocheng, you have to go to the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse.

Yun Yue sweats profusely! I didn't expect such a big fork, so I knew that it wouldn't be smooth sailing this time. Now it seems that he can only go to Shangcai to meet Her Royal Highness the princess.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yun Yue said helplessly: "Your Majesty, let's stay in this Guocheng for one night." Tomorrow, we will depart for Shang Cai. Tonight, the king can send his henchmen to find the place where the princess Luan is driving. Our two teams have to establish a connection. ”

"That's the only way, the road of Chu is not as good as that of Qin. If you are in a hurry, it is even more inconvenient to damage the carriage. Stay in Guocheng tonight! Changpingjun sighed, the plan couldn't catch up with the change. I thought that I would be able to receive the princess of Chu as soon as possible in a hurry, but now it seems that the Long March is just the first step.

Yun Yue and his entourage entered Guo Cheng, in a corner that no one noticed. A pair of bright eyes were looking at Yun Yue and his party, especially when they saw Yun Yue. Those bright eyes were full of hatred, and I finally waited for you in Chu State, to see where you were going this time.

"When the hell are you going to tell Zheng'er that I'm the ......" Lu Buwei looked left and right, and then his wolf-like eyes shot at Zhao Ji.

King Zhuang Xiang was lying in the Chengming Palace, and now LΓΌ Buwei couldn't take care of it so much. The convoy to greet the princess of Chu has already set off, and it is Yunyue who she hates the most. Once the princess of Chu came to Xianyang, the Empress Dowager Huayang would immediately arrange for her to marry the crown prince. The queen of Great Qin is from Chu, and the queen mother of Great Qin is also from Chu. Zhao Ji has a pie sandwiched in the middle, and she can't exert any power at all.

They must be stopped, otherwise the efforts made over the years will become a flower in the mirror.

"The king is lying in the Chengming Palace, and the prince is very sad. went to serve the king all day long, and the concubines also had to taste medicine and serve food from time to time. So...... So there was no opportunity to tell Zheng'er the details. Zhao Ji replied softly and weakly with a frightened look on her face.

"It's all this time, and you still have so many scruples. Do you know that once the king dies in the sky. Zheng'er succeeds to the throne, and the power of Daqin will be controlled by the Qi family. Once this is the case, with the original power of the Mi family, it will operate for another ten years, and the country of Daqin is not the Mi family. Lu Buwei was really anxious this time, and he didn't care if there would be an ear for the wall, and he hatefully said the word Mi family.

"No, it won't! When Empress Dowager Xuan was so powerful, didn't she finally transfer the royal power to King Xiaowen? Today's Queen Mother seems to be inferior to the Queen Mother Xuan, how can she act like this? Besides, Zheng'er became the king, and the concubine seemed to be the queen mother. ”

Zhao Ji still looked ignorant, and Lu Buwei couldn't wait to step forward and strangle this stupid woman to death. It seems that this woman is being stupid in Zhao Kingdom, just rely on your Zhao Ji's strength. Even if she is named the queen mother, it can only be an ornament. Who will listen to the greeting of a nominal queen mother.

"How can the Empress Dowager Xuan of that year be compared with the Empress Dowager Huayang today, the reign of the Empress Dowager Xuan was still short. But now, he has been in the business of the Mi family for several generations. They already have great power in the Qin State, as long as they lie down and the Qi family will be in power for another ten years. There are minions inside, and there are Chu State intervening outside. This Great Qin Jiangshan will belong to her Mi family sooner or later. The old man looks, either Lichang Pingjun or Chang Wenjun. ”

"Then how about you want a slave?"

"I have an edict here, and you ask Zheng'er to take the opportunity to enter the Chengming Hall to stamp the king's seal. That old guy Chidu will only be loyal to the royal family, and such a thing can't escape his eyes. Only if Gongzizheng does this can he shut up. ”

"If Qiandu knows, he will definitely inform the king, and the king will ...... if he knows" Zhao Ji's eyes instantly widened wider than a bull's eye. Because LΓΌ Buwei made a scratch motion on his neck with his fingers.

"You're going to ......"

"Shut up, only the king will die immediately. Zheng'er will not marry because of filial piety, and with the edict in hand, Zheng'er's throne can be preserved. ”

"Lord Xiangbang, please let go of the Queen Mother!" Jing Er slowly walked out from behind the curtain. (To be continued.) )
