Wu Yanzhi doesn't know much about painting, but the few paintings that Li Sixun gave him have made people who have seen them full of praise.

That Qi Xuan looked at the landscape painting hanging in the office of Wu Yanzhi's mansion, and he was also very envious. Suddenly, I remembered something: "Lord Wang, this Li Sixun seems to be about to turn fiftieth in a few days!" ”

"Really? I don't know! But I don't have time to go, so you can make a gift for me! ”

"Yes."

……

"Dad, you see, it's different for you to be this foreigner now, this fifty birthday, but there are many people who come to give gifts!" Li Qian looked at the gift list and said leisurely.

"How do you know about gifts? How was that Cui Gongzi last time? Li Sixun is always anxious about the marriage of this second daughter, she is almost 19 years old, and she has not found a suitable man to get engaged.

This daughter of his own, who is talented and good-looking, is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's a little incredible to be in the boudoir at such an age. In the past year since I became an official again, I have also been introduced by a few old friends from the past.

However, if the conditions are better, as soon as people see that he is the royal family of the Li family, they are worried that they will be implicated in the future, so they immediately refuse. The conditions are worse, not only Li Qian, but also himself. You can't wronged this baby girl, right?

"Dad, my son has already visited, that person is the third brother of Cui Yu, the governor of Zhuojun Wang, to say that the literary talent is okay, but the personality is too introverted, and the body is too thin, not longevity."

Li Qian was not satisfied, in fact, she peeked at the person's appearance.

"Well, in a few days, my father will visit you again, last time I heard Lu Hong, the secretary of the king of Zhuojun, say that he has a cousin Lu Chong, who is in his early twenties, and the conditions are quite good in all aspects, so I will ask someone to inquire again." As soon as Li Sixun saw that his daughter was not satisfied, he said another person.

"Dad, don't just look for someone, this matter has to be fate! If fate has not arrived, it is useless to find as many people as possible. "She's very assertive.

Her mother died young, and her father had two concubines, but he never got married. This Li Qian is the youngest daughter of the concubine, and the others are all born to concubines.

"Dad, why is there a gift from the prince here?"

"Yes, the prince gave a generous gift from Judge Toqi, which made me very nervous."

"Dad, what's so hard about this? I heard that his family gave birth to another second son, and my father waited until he was full moon and wine, and went to return the gift in time! There are brother slaves who are friendly with the prince's younger brother, what are you afraid of. Li Qian didn't care.

……

On the banks of the Yishui River.

In the early winter, the cold wind is blowing, and the land is barren. Not far away, a mountain peak stretched across the mist.

Wu Yanzhi took Yufei, Wen Hucao, Zhao Shenjun, and four guards, dressed in civilian clothes, and rode through the countryside. Yao Kuan didn't come this time, he was responsible for guarding the palace.

"Lord Wang, the mountain in front of you is Santu Mountain, after this mountain, you can reach Yiyang County by walking more than ten miles." Wen Hucao introduced on the side.

The route of Wu Yanzhi's trip is along the Yishui River, passing through the three counties of Yique, Luhun and Yiyang on the banks of the Yishui River. After arriving in Yiyang County, we crossed the Bears Ears Mountain and arrived at Changshui County in the upper reaches of Luoshui. Then go down the Luoshui River, pass through Fuchang County, Shou'an County, and return to Luoyang.

The whole trip took about 20 days, which was approved by the emperor. Because the state history once a year to inspect the county to which it belongs, it is also a provision of the law.

The purpose of his inspection was, of course, the county government of each county and the living conditions of the peasants in the villages, as well as the development and management of the two rivers.

Zhao Senjun looked at the clock he was carrying, and saw the banner of the wine shop flying high not far ahead, so he said: "Lord Wang, I see that it is almost noon, and there is a wine shop not far in front, how about I have lunch there?" ”

Wu Yanyi saw that he was about to turn over Santu Mountain, and it was estimated that there was unlikely to be a wine shop in the mountain, so he nodded in agreement only after lunch here.

On the big pine tree at the entrance of the wine shop, a big flag with the word "wine" rustled in the wind. The group came to the wine shop, and the owner of the wine shop looked at a few people dressed in extraordinary clothes and took care of them very thoughtfully.

Zhao Shenjun was in charge of all affairs along the way, and went over early to order the wine and food.

Yufei and the four guards kept looking around. He saw that there were seven or eight tables in the restaurant, and three of them were already full.

There are three people at a table, and there are a lot of leather goods next to them, so they must have come here to buy mountain goods. There were two people at the other table, and although they were dressed simply, they were no different from ordinary people, but the food and drinks were very good. Those two people peeked at Wu Yanzhi and the others from time to time.

Yu Fei saw it in his eyes, and frowned unconsciously, so he whispered to the two guards beside him: "Liu Hai, Zhang Si, you pretend to go to the toilet and take a look around, especially the kitchen." If you find something suspicious, don't make a noise and come back to report it to me immediately. ”

The two nodded, and took the order.

Yu Fei whispered a few more words to the other two guards, who looked a little nervous. Then Yu Fei got up, went to the counter, and chatted with the boss.

After a while, a short, thin man in his twenties came in from outside, joined the two of them at the table, and continued to drink.

During the conversation with the shopkeeper, Yufei learned that the main road to Yiyang had been blocked by a landslide in the heavy summer rain, and it would take a day to reach Yiyang by taking a small road.

"This guest officer, if you don't want to sleep in the mountains, you can only stay in this wine shop for one night." The shopkeeper said, very enthusiastic.

Yufei chatted with him for a few more words, and learned that he could replace the quilt with a brand new quilt here, and he didn't find anything abnormal, so he came back and told Wu Yanzhi. Wu Yan listened, it seems that Zhao joined the army for the first time here, and he didn't do his homework before, so it's okay to stay here for one night, as long as it's clean.

Nowadays, it is too cold to sleep in the mountains, and you don't have any camping equipment, which is obviously not suitable.

……

In the evening, because the weather was too cold, a stove was placed in each room, and it was also burned coal.

You can't just close the windows of this thing, and it's a big deal in case of carbon monoxide poisoning. Wu Yanzhi and the others lived in three rooms and slept on low beds. Wu Yanzhi reminded the people in the other room again.

Wu Yanzhi and Yu Fei slept in the same room, and he asked Yu Fei to put the wooden window against it with a stick, and tied it tightly with cotton thread to prevent it from falling, so that carbon monoxide could go out.

In order to make it easier to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, an oil lamp was lit in the house all night.

Sleeping until midnight, Yu Fei, who was already highly nervous and half-asleep, was suddenly awakened by a slight noise.

When he opened his eyes, he was suddenly astonished: the window with the wooden stick was actually closed. He felt that the air in the house was very bad, so he hurriedly went to open the window! Pushed, it seemed to be still being pushed by something.

He felt that something was wrong, so he quickly pushed the window open, and the moment he opened the window, he heard the footsteps of some people walking again!

"Lord Wang! There are assassins! Yu Fei shouted loudly. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
