Chapter Eighty-Five: A Visitor to the Post House
Jiang Chuan and his entourage came to the post station in Datong City under the guidance of the soldiers sent by Huyan Jiaping.
The post keeper who managed the post house was also accustomed to seeing big people, and when he saw the posture of Jiang Chuan and his party, he guessed that they must be the subordinates of the general, and only such a person could have such an elite and fierce family to accompany him.
The soldier who led the way told Jiang Chuan's identity to Yi Cheng, and Yi Cheng was also very surprised, and hurriedly greeted Jiang Chuan and his party into the post house.
Jiang Chuan asked for an independent small courtyard to live in, but this post man was considerate and thoughtful, personally brought people to send bedding, tea sets, toiletries and other things, and also lit a stove in Jiang Chuan's house, and the house was warm after a while.
"Master Hou, are you still satisfied with this house? This is the best courtyard in our post station, if it weren't for a big man of Hou Ye's status, this courtyard would not be used by ordinary officials. ”
Yi Cheng finished his work, and stood aside with a smile and said.
"Really? That's really annoying you. I, the accompanying guards, also bothered the nobles to settle down, and all the good food and drink were provided, and everything that should have been had had had to be provided. Jiang Chuan sat by the stove, stretched out his hands to bake the fire, and then smiled faintly.
"This Hou master, please rest assured, the villain will not let these military masters be wronged. Master Hou, do you see any other orders? Yi Cheng smiled and responded, not showing any impatience at all.
Jiang Chuan glanced at Bai Mu beside him, Bai Mu understood, took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to Yi Cheng. Jiang Chuan said lightly: "You take this money, it's a hard work." Benhou has always had clear rewards and punishments, and those who have made mistakes must be punished, and those who have meritorious deeds must be rewarded. I'm comfortable with you, and it's indispensable to look back on your benefits. ”
Yicheng was originally just because Jiangchuan Daimyo was outside, and he really wanted to serve him well. I didn't think about it, but there was still a reward, and I was happy in my heart, and I finally thanked him after refusing to allow it.
Jiang Chuan saw that although he was happy to flatter himself, he did not flatter himself, but his behavior felt very measured, which was very comfortable, but he had a good impression of him, and he wanted to observe for a few more days.
Jiang Chuan asked him to send a large bucket of bath water, soaked in a wooden barrel and took a hot bath, only then did he feel that the dust along the way had been washed away, and the whole person felt extremely refreshed.
changed into a comfortable home clothes, and a table of meals that Yicheng helped to call from Dong Xiangchun was also delivered, and by the way, there was also a pot of "Dong Xiangchun".
After the meal was arranged, Jiang Chuan did not eat first, and explained to Bai Mu: "You go to the door of the post house to guard, and this post house will not let anyone else in." The white girl came and brought it in directly. ”
Bai Mu agreed and went with a few people.
After a while, the curtain of the door was lifted, and a figure whose whole body was covered by a white cloak floated in, and the cloak was lifted, revealing a refreshing and unparalleled little face, smiling but not smiling, and looking at Jiang Chuan with joy and disgust.
The person who came was naturally Bai Jinxiu.
Jiang Chuan looked at him, got up and sat down opposite her by the hand, and said with a smile: "You are really well-informed." ”
Bai Jinxiu smiled lightly and said, "Of course, otherwise how could I be embarrassed to come to see you, the eldest marquis." ”
Jiang Chuan laughed, he knew that as soon as he entered the city, with the strength of Hei Bingtai in Datong now, he would naturally get the news as soon as possible to inform Bai Jinxiu.
Bai Jinxiu naturally rushed to see him as soon as he got the news.
Bai Jinxiu glanced at the food on the table, and said with a chuckle: "You big marquis really can really enjoy it, as soon as you enter the city, you think about Dong Xiangchun's wine and food first, it seems that you are really hungry in the valley." ”
Jiang Chuan smiled: "Since you mentioned Dong Xiangchun last time you came back, I have been worried about how good it is." This time, I finally came to Datong City once, so I naturally had to eat first. However, it also depends on who you are talking to. If it were with you, I don't think I would need to eat this meal. ”
Bai Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jiang Chuan incomprehensibly.
"It's beautiful and delicious, haha......" Jiang Chuan laughed, Bai Jinxiu's face was hot when he heard it, but his heart was extremely sweet, but he muttered softly: "What a disciple." It's just that I can't hear the slightest bit of displeasure in these words.
Bai Jinxiu picked up the wine jug with his bare hands and filled the cup in front of Jiang Chuan.
"Why don't you pour it for yourself? Drink together. Jiang Chuan saw it, reached out and picked up the wine jug and filled the cup in front of Bai Jinxiu.
At Jiang Chuan's request, the two touched a glass and ate a few bites of food, Jiang Chuan sighed: "The food of this Dongxiangchun is indeed unique, fragrant but not vulgar, fat but not greasy, and it is even more flavorful with this pot of wine." ”
"Since you love to eat, it would be good to go a few more times in the future." Bai Jinxiu has a shallow amount of wine, and after only a glass of wine, two crimson flowers floated on his face.
"No, the moon is full of money, and you can't do the things you like. No matter how delicious the meal is, it will be bland and tasteless. But I never get tired of your braised pork. Jiang Chuan shook his head and said, and put his head close to Bai Jinxiu, who was ashamed, stepped back, pursed his lips and glared at him, with a helpless look on his face.
Jiang Chuan was more interesting to see like that, but knowing that she was thin-skinned, he didn't continue to tease her, but got down to business.
"Li Yongnian, how did you contact him?" Jiang Chuan asked.
"It's actually very simple to say. I went directly to her house and posted a post in the name of your envoy asking him to meet him in Dongxiangchun. Later, he showed up for the appointment on time. Bai Jinxiu said.
This is also the simplest and most direct way, and it will not arouse his suspicion. What is his attitude now? Jiang Chuan nodded and asked.
"This man is thoughtful and steady, first asking me to prove my identity before saying that I want to meet you in person. If you can come to Datong, he will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, and if you don't say anything else, I won't ask again. Bai Jinxiu said.
"It seems that this General Li has been able to guard Datong for many years, and he is indeed a person with a city government. However, now that we are powerful, he has limited options. This time we actually gave him a chance. If he can grasp it himself, it would be good, if he can't grasp it, there is only one chance, it depends on whether he is smart enough. Jiang Chuan groaned slightly, chuckled, and his tone was full of strong confidence.
Bai Jinxiu looked at him, his eyes became obsessed, and he only hung his head in shame when Jiang Chuan saw it, pretending to drink, but he drank too quickly and choked and coughed, Jiang Chuan went over and patted her on the back, and then eased up.
"Has there been any movement in the Datong border army recently?" Jiang Chuan asked again after sitting down.
"According to the news from Jinyiwei's investigation, everything is normal. Moreover, after I came back last time, several partial generals, adjutant generals, garrisons, and servants in the guerrilla palace in the border army now have our eyes. According to the news delivered by these eyeliners, these people go home normally every day, and it seems that everything is normal. Bai Jinxiu said.
"That's good. Let's see what choice our Chief Soldier Li makes. Jiang Chuan said in a deep voice.
The two talked for a while, and after eating the wine and food, Bai Jinxiu quietly walked out of the post house.
