Chapter 740: A Trip to the Southwest

On the rugged official road from Huguang to Guangxi, a group of dozens of people were traveling in a hurry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although the dress of this group of people looks no different from ordinary merchants, as long as you get closer and take a closer look, you can clearly find that the identity of these people is by no means ordinary merchants, the horses under their crotches are extremely rare horses, and the people on the horses are also burly and extraordinary, with a capable face, that is, those few ordinary carriages and carriages are actually carefully made, the most sturdy and stable.

This line of chariots, horses, and people was none other than Yang Zhen, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who went all the way south from the capital, and the elite and cronies of the Jinyi Guard who came with him. Hu Ge, Cai Yingyang and other good players are impressively listed, and in addition, Ruan Tong and Wang Hai, who have always had no chance of getting ahead in the Zhenfu Division, are also by his side.

As for those carriages, there were not any valuables, but three women, it was Luo Yueying and her personal maid Lanqin, and the real reason for going south this time, Yang Zhen's other beloved woman - Zhang Jingyun.

It all started a few months ago at the time of the New Year.

At that time, because Zhang Juzheng had been defeated, Yang Zhen had already fulfilled his final wish, so he only wanted to live well with his beloved, and when he saw that the New Year was approaching, he sent someone to Hangzhou to pick up his father-in-law, Taishan Luo Chengzhang, so that Luo Yueying could be happy.

In this regard, the father and daughter of the Luo family were naturally very happy to meet each other in the capital, and it also made the Yang family have a particularly lively year. But at this time, looking at all this, Zhang Jingyun, who seemed very happy on the surface, began to cry secretly behind his back. However, she also knew that she shouldn't let others worry about her at this time, so she never showed it in front of others.

But one day in the middle of the night when he was sleeping in the same bed with Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen, who was sleeping deeply, heard a suppressed sobbing sound coming from beside him, and then realized that Zhang Jingyun had something in his heart. After a long period of comfort and inquiry, he realized that she had thought of her life experience after seeing the relatives of the Luo family's father and daughter, and her grandfather, who still hadn't heard from her.

In fact, in the past few years, Yang Zhen has never given up sending people to Guangxi and other southwestern provinces to inquire about Zhang Tianqian's whereabouts, but it is a pity that he seems to have disappeared from this world.

So this time, looking at Zhang Jingyun, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and looking pitiful, Yang Zhen finally made a decision to go to Guangxi to find Zhang Tianqian's whereabouts in person.

If it was a year ago, Yang Zhen would definitely not have made this decision, after all, he still had something to do, and there were still many people in the court who were holding back their strength to deal with themselves. But now, as soon as Zhang Juzheng is gone, it is too late for those officials in the DPRK and China to fight among themselves, so naturally they will not have time to attack Jinyiwei, so he has the opportunity to leave the capital for a while.

So, just after the first month and a half, Yang Zhen took leave from Wanli and prepared to take some of his brothers to the southwest. But at this time, Zhang Jingyun felt uneasy, so he clamored to go over with Yang Zhen. Subsequently, even Luo Yueying knew about it, and she, who didn't want to be separated from her husband, also made the same request.

After all, the southwest is not as good as Jiangnan and Beijing, where both the natural environment and economic conditions are much worse than elsewhere, and he really can't bear to let his two wives suffer with him.

However, the two daughters were iron-hearted this time, and they were obsessed with him for a while, and even the two daughters agreed to Yang Zhen for the first time that he had always hoped to achieve, but because of shyness, the two daughters had never been willing to nod their heads.

Under the lure of such a pink battle, our Lord Yang, who has always been full of determination, finally relented. As for what a man and two women did in the boudoir, and what kind of pleasure they had, it is not enough for outsiders.

Anyway, at the end of the first month, Yang Zhen took two daughters with him, and then transferred dozens of elite henchmen from Jinyiwei, and came to Guangxi by land.

Originally, they could have taken the waterway from the canal to Huguang and then changed to the land route to Guangxi, which not only saved a lot of time, but also made it easier to travel. But in this way, you can only find horses and prepare vehicles in Jiangxi, which is much more hasty than building a suitable carriage in the capital, Yang Zhen is not worried about letting his woman sit in such a car to live an unfamiliar place, and there may be dangerous places. So in the end, you have to go directly by land.

Speaking of which, these three carriages are not as simple as they seem. Not only is it sturdy and spacious, but it also has an iron interlayer on the inner wall of the carriage, not to mention a bow and arrow, even the muskets of this era cannot break the wall of this carriage. In addition, there are a lot of mechanisms in this car, which are carefully made by the craftsmen in the brocade guard, with them, even if there is any danger on the road, it is enough to ensure the safety of the beauty in the car.

Therefore, a carriage like this, with many mechanisms and a mezzanine, weighs several times that of an ordinary carriage. Only by using the most miraculous horses can it be pulled side by side with ordinary horses without falling behind. In order for his beloved woman to be safe along the way, Yang Zhen really spent a lot of thought this time.

Of course, just Yang Zhen and the elite appearance of these horses in front of a few carriages were enough to deter the small people along the way, so that they didn't dare to fight the idea of this team. But sometimes, it's always good to do enough of the necessary defenses, otherwise you will only regret it in the end.

His little heart, Luo Zhang's second daughter who was sitting in the car was naturally very clear, especially Zhang Jingyun, who was even more moved, looking out from between the low-hanging car curtains, looking at Yang Zhen with a trace of love and gratitude.

This point fell in the eyes of Luo Yueying on the side, and she couldn't help but laugh: "Ouch, it seems that Sister Jingyun is becoming more and more in love with our husband, and your eyes have not been shifted from him all the way." ”

If it was before, when she heard her sister laughing like this, Zhang Jingyun would inevitably deny it shyly, but this time, although she was also blushing, she did not deny it, but after hesitating for a while, she said softly: "This time Erlang did not hesitate to go to the southwest for me, and made so many preparations for us, I am naturally very grateful in my heart, I am really happy to have such a husband who loves me and protects me." With that, she finally turned her gaze back from Yang Zhen outside the car and looked at Luo Yueying: "I found that I really love him, aren't you, Sister Luo?" ”

Luo Yueying originally just wanted to make fun of this sister, but she didn't want to get such a direct statement from the other party, so she was stunned. She also thought of everything Yang Zhen had done for herself before, not only overcoming all kinds of problems, but also his actions of taking various risks when she was in danger, and suddenly her face was filled with admiration and happiness: "Well, I'm just like you." Erlang has done a lot for us, and he loves us so much, we are really luckier than most women in this world. ”

Zhang Jingyun also nodded vigorously in agreement, but then, her red face darkened again: "But this time I am so willful because of Erlang's love for me, I have to make him travel so far to Guangxi, I heard that it is not as peaceful as Beijing or Jiangnan." As he spoke, there was a bit of self-reproach in his eyes.

Luo Yueying looked at it, and hurriedly reached out and hugged her to her side: "Silly girl, it's too obvious for you to say that, if Erlang hears it, he will definitely not be happy." We are now a family, you are his wife, he helped you find grandpa, and he also found grandpa for himself, what's wrong? But I, because I don't want to be separated from you, have to come together, but I'm a little willful. ”

"Sister......" Hearing her say this, Zhang Jingyun's heart was even warmer, but she didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only get closer to Luo Yueying, as if she could convey her thoughts in this way.

"If you really feel a little uncomfortable, you can accompany him more at night in the future, and ......" Speaking of this, Luo Yueying's pair of wonderful eyes swept Zhang Jingyun's body and mouth twice with some deep meaning.

Suddenly, Zhang Jingyun, who was still a little self-blaming, turned red as if on fire, and slapped Luo Yueying's body a few times with her coquettish hand: "Sister, you ...... How can you say such a thing, it's a shame......"

"You dare to do it, are you afraid that I won't be able to do it?" Luo Yueying giggled.

In this way, the atmosphere that was still quite heavy was completely swept away, and only the movement of the two women playing and laughing was left slightly leaking out of the car.

Yang Zhen, who was riding a horse and accompanied by the side of the carriage, heard the laughter coming from inside, and his face unconsciously showed a warm smile, although he didn't encounter any enemies along the way, but after all, the two women were tired of the journey, and the two women could laugh and laugh like this, which meant that there was nothing wrong with their bodies, so he could rest assured.

But looking at the road that had begun to shrink in the distance, the smile on Yang Zhen's face retracted again. Soon, they will enter the territory of Guangxi. And here, it is almost one of the poorest provinces in the Ming Dynasty today, even the official road is so rugged and narrow, I don't know what kind of trouble will be encountered next.

At this moment, a gray-black pigeon suddenly swept over the heads of everyone, and then, on the empty road behind them, there was also a fierce and rapid sound of horses' hooves, and people and horses were speeding towards them in an extremely fast manner.

This made the face of a brocade guard suddenly show a look of vigilance, and someone's hand had even reached out to the hidden weapon on the side of the horse!
