"Niangniang, where are we going now?" Xiao Xiang stepped forward and asked in a low voice. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Go back to Huilan Palace!" Liu Guifei replied angrily, gritting her teeth at the back of Lord Liang.

"Yes......" Xiaoxiang nodded silently, not daring to speak more, Liu Guifei was angry at the moment, and no one dared to say anything.

Shi Min arrived outside Hongguang Pavilion, and it happened that Lu An was waiting outside, so he went up to say hello.

"Lu An, how is Your Majesty's health today?"

Seeing that it was Shi Min, Lu An hurriedly saluted and replied: "Back to Master Min, Your Majesty has just finished using up the medicinal food and is resting at the moment." ”

"Resting so early?" Shi Min asked.

Lu An nodded, glanced at Shi Min, and asked, "Gongzi came to visit Your Majesty today?" ”

"Yes, last time I heard that His Majesty was sick, I wanted to enter the palace to take a look, who knew that His Majesty was in Liu Guifei's Huilan Palace, so I didn't go back first, today I heard that Your Majesty has returned to Hongguang Pavilion, so I came to take a look."

"That'...... Min Gongzi may have run away in vain again, His Majesty has already slept, and the slave does not dare to disturb. Lu An's face was embarrassed.

Shi Min naturally understood Lu An's difficulties, so he didn't force him to go in to report it, so he asked, "What kind of illness did Your Majesty have this time?" Why do you have to stay in bed after recuperating for many days? ”

"This minion doesn't understand very well, Imperial Doctor Zhang only said that His Majesty is overworked, his body is tired, and he needs to recuperate, and he didn't say much else." Lu An didn't dare to tell Shi Min the truth, maybe a few words of his truth would bring him death.

Shi Min's eyes flickered a little when he saw Lu An talking, and he immediately understood what Lu An was deliberately hiding, but he didn't say it, because he knew that Lu An was a small servant, helpless, and some words naturally couldn't be said too bluntly, otherwise he would only harm himself.

"If Your Majesty is better, tell Your Majesty that my father, Marquis Xihua, ordered me to come to see Your Majesty on his behalf." Shi Min patted Lu An's shoulder and said.

"The slave understands, Min Gongzi, please rest assured." Lu An nodded.

Shi Min smiled slightly, turned around and was about to leave, when he saw a woman from a distance, walking away from the Hongguang Pavilion, he asked Lu An softly, "Who is this?" How come I've never seen one? ”

Lu An glanced at it and replied in a low voice: "This is Lord Liang, the concubine of His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

"Why is she here?" Shi Min asked suspiciously.

Lu An was about to speak, and when he saw Liu Guifei also coming over, he immediately knelt down and saluted and shouted, "Guifei Niangniang." ”

Shi Min turned around and saw that the person who came was a beautiful woman, and Lu An called her Guifei Niangniang so nervously, it must be Liu Guifei, so he also saluted: "Shi Min pays a visit to Guifei Niangniang." ”

"You are the son of the Xihua Hou family?" Liu Guifei glanced at Shi Min and asked.

"Exactly." Shi Min still kept his head down.

"Raise your head and let Hongu see." Liu Guifei commanded.

Shi Min raised his head, smiled slightly, and looked at Liu Guifei.

Liu Guifei looked at the young man in front of her, with bright eyebrows and teeth, bright eyes, and delicate facial features, and couldn't help but praise: "What a talent." ”

"Thank you for your compliment." Shi Min nodded in thanks.

Liu Guifei smiled slightly, and then walked away.

Shi Min watched Liu Guifei leave, and when he saw that Lu An was still kneeling on the ground, he said, "Get up, the concubines are gone, why are you still kneeling?" ”

Lu An raised his head, looked around, and made sure that Liu Guifei was really gone, so he stood up with confidence and patted his clothes.

"Okay, I'll go first, you can serve Your Majesty well."

"Minions understand!" Lu An nodded.

For many days, Shi Min cooperated with Shi Zhan in the barracks to take care of military affairs. Previously, after discussion by Shi Zhan and others, the proposal to recruit the displaced people and select strong men was finally adopted. And the person who carried out this task of co-optation was naturally none other than Wang Shicheng, who was experienced, coarse and steady, and Shi Min was sent to assist him.

"I can get to Yecheng tomorrow, after driving for so long, I can finally see what the capital of the Qian people looks like, I don't know how it compares to our Changli and Dragon City." Murong Ke said as he rode on his horse.

"Yecheng is the land of the Central Plains, and it must be richer than our Liaodong." Murong Jun glanced at Murong Ke and replied lightly.

"Second brother, I don't think so, there are people everywhere along the way, there are dead people everywhere, it is rumored that the Central Plains is rich in resources and talents, in my opinion, it is just a vain name, although our Liaodong is wild and remote, but ginseng and deer antler velvet are everywhere, and the products are abundant, much better than this Central Plains." Murong Ke was a little disdainful.

"You know what? The current situation in the Central Plains is only because of the brutality of the Zhao Dynasty and the excessive cruelty of the Han people in the Central Plains, which led to the withering of the people's livelihood and the mourning everywhere. A few decades ago, it was full of gold, but how could it be like it is now? ”

"Second brother, how do you know? You weren't born decades ago. Murong Ke asked with some suspicion.

"I tell you to read more books on weekdays, there are a lot of books about the Central Plains in our palace, you have time to take a look, and after reading it, you will know why our fathers and ancestors have been thinking about the Central Plains."

"Then I also want to see how the Central Plains are now." Murong Ke was reluctant to admit defeat.

Murong Jun glanced at his stubborn brother helplessly, and he really couldn't persuade him.

"Third uncle, among these people who have been recruited today, do you think there are any better ones?" Shi Min rode a horse while Wang Shicheng next to him.

"You think it's so easy to pick elites? In such a short period of time, with such a small number of candidates, it is even more difficult to find 500 people who meet your requirements than to ascend to the sky. You! Just pray! It depends on how many opportunities God gives you! Wang Shicheng replied unhurriedly.

"Hey, I can't imagine that it is so difficult to find a few excellent people, it's really a headache!" Shi Min shook his head helplessly.

"Boy, this is a headache? There will be a lot of things that don't go well in the future, so you can slowly experience it. Wang Shicheng said, patting Shi Min.

"What happened to the last time my father asked you to exchange grain for weapons and horses? Is there any progress? ”

"You think it's so easy? If it was so easy, the eldest brother would have sent your second uncle a long time ago, why would you want me to go out? Wang Shicheng shook his head helplessly.

"Haha, I'm going to tell the second uncle." Shi Min said with a smile.

"What? Give me small shoes for your third uncle? You bunny! Wang Shicheng stretched out his hand and pretended to hit Shi Min.

"Third uncle, I'll tease you! Hahahaha! Shi Min hurriedly dodged.

Shi Min suddenly saw a large group of people gathered not far away, and he didn't know what was going on, so he said to Wang Shicheng: "Third uncle, look, what's going on over there?" ”

Wang Shicheng looked in the direction pointed by Shi Min, a group of refugees blocked the way of a horse team, the two sides were arguing, Wang Shicheng said: "Go! Check it out! ”

The two of them galloped over.

A young man squatted on the ground, holding an old woman in his arms, crying sadly and shouting: "Mother! What happened to you? Wake up! ”

"Your mother suddenly rushed to my horse and was hit by a horse, this can't blame me, it's a big deal I'll give you some silver taels, I still have something to do, I don't have time to entangle with you."

It was Murong Jun who spoke, and I saw him take out a piece of silver from his arms, throw it on the ground, and say, "This ingot of silver is enough for you to bury your mother beautifully." ”

"Who wants your stinky money!" The young man grabbed the silver and threw it at Murong Jun.

Murong Jun hurriedly grabbed it with one hand and almost smashed it on his head, at this time Murong Ke on the side scolded: "You don't know what to do, your mother suddenly rushed to our horse team to block the way, and was hit and killed by our horse, she can only blame herself, giving you two silver is already magnanimous, don't be ignorant!" Someone, take him away for me! ”

"Yes!"

The three attendants behind Murong Ke dismounted and walked towards the man, two of them grabbed his two arms and tried to pull him to the side of the road, while the other dragged the old woman's body and threw it aside.

When the man saw his mother's body being humiliated, he became angry and ashamed, and suddenly like a bull, he used his arms to throw Murong Ke's two attendants out.

Seeing this, another person hurriedly went up to help, and the young man directly kicked the attendant to the ground, and the three attendants fell to the ground in an instant. It is estimated that the young man's kick is not small, and the attendant who was kicked to the ground rolled on the ground in pain, moaning in pain.

Murong Ke was furious when he saw this, jumped up directly from the horse, landed in front of the young man, and waved his hand with a punch, and the young man hurriedly raised his hand to block.

Although Murong Ke is young, he is brave and brave, and is regarded as the best successor to Dugu Nanxin. That young man fled with his mother all the way, and he couldn't eat all day, although his strength was outstanding, how could he be Murong Ke's opponent? Within a few rounds, the young man was knocked to the ground by Murong Ke.

When several attendants next to him saw that the young man was beaten, they immediately rushed up and held him down, and Murong Ke ordered: "Tie him up for me and take him away!" ”
