On March 21 of the third year of Yinwen, on the tenth day after Du Wen gave birth, Emperor Yinwen's oral message came to Jiangzhou, and he ordered a voyage to make an envoy angry.

Yuanhang didn't dare to slack off, immediately prepared the carriage and horses, left August in the mansion, and took the three major guards and meteors, Fu Yashi went to Saiwai.

"Xianggong, this is a long way to go, and far away from the country, remember to be very careful, not to be competitive, and you need to be patient in case of trouble." Yuanhang stood on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard and walked over gracefully to admonish.

"Madame, don't worry, keep in mind for your husband." Yuanhang nodded again and again, watching Wanyue walk in front of him.

Qinghe walked over, his eyes were red, he looked at Yuanhang and said softly: "Xianggong, it's cold outside, pay attention to your clothes, don't get cold." ”

Yuanhang nodded again and again, and said, "Don't worry, lady, remember for your husband." ”

Liqiu walked over, hugged Yuanhang tightly, and said in his ear: "You bastard, live well, and when you come back, I will be three times." ”

"You slut, watch me kill you, you take good care of Zhiqiu for me, if she loses weight when she comes back, I will divorce you." Yuanhang gritted his teeth and kissed Liqiu lightly on the cheek, and Liqiu turned around to wipe his tears.

Du Wen walked over slowly, and Yuanhang said first: "Wife, I said that I wouldn't let you come, why did I still come out, but I have to take care of my body." ”

Du Wen smiled lightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, the concubine is fine." Xianggong traveled all the way, and when he met people on the road, he needed to be cautious and not stay away from them. ”

"Rest assured, don't worry, remember for your husband." Yuanhang kept nodding, feeling that his cervical spine was a little unbearable.

At the end, the ninth princess came over crying.

"You junior, if you have something to say, what are you crying about?"

The ninth princess didn't know what the junior meant, and she thought that it was also another name for the lady, so she came forward and sobbed and said, "Xianggong, you should name the child in my womb first." ”

"How old are you, what a fart." Yuanhang glanced at her stomach, which was about the size of a full meal.

"Let's get one, in case you don't come back...... No, no, the baby was born when you returned, what should I do? ”

Yuan Hang rolled his eyes angrily, and said angrily: "If you give birth to a girl, you will be called Ye Nu." With that, he turned and walked down the steps.

The ninth princess hurriedly said above: "Xianggong, what if it's a boy?" ”

Yuanhang had already turned over and got on his horse, turned around and shouted loudly: "If you give birth to a boy, you will be called Yezi." ”

Yuanhang went out first, and Wuying and the others saluted several young grandmothers at the door, got on their horses and chased after Yuanhang.

The ninth princess savored the child's name, the leaf, the leaf...... It doesn't seem right, but it's better to call it a tree trunk.

There are two ways to go. One of them is to go out of Tiancang Pass, go straight north into Yanshun Mansion on the border of the original Shang State, and then turn east to Qibo, and then pass through Yin Tiancheng of Qi State, Guxin Mansion, and Chenzhou to reach Saiwai. The other road is to walk along the territory of Liangguo, to Jingzhou to the east to turn to Houtang, and then through Yizhou, after Guzhou, cross the Longjiang River to Kaizhou and turn north, enter the official mall in the territory of Qi State, and Langxi Mansion can enter the outside of Saiwai.

The two roads have their own advantages and disadvantages, the first distance is much closer, but you need to pass through the Shang country and the Qi country, and now most of the cities in the Shang country have been occupied by the Qi country, and I am afraid that there will be many checks on the road. The second road is much smoother, basically in the territory of Liang State, it can be said that there is no obstacle all the way, only need to pass through the two border cities of Qi State to reach Saiwai, but the distance is half away.

After a little discussion with Fu Yashi, Yuanhang decided to take the first shortcut. A group of people went out of the north gate and went to Tiancang Pass.

After a while, they arrived at Tiancang Pass, and several people did not stop here, but passed through the pass directly, and ran towards Yanshun Mansion, which was hundreds of miles away.

Yanshun Mansion is not far from Jiangzhou, and Situ Hao is guarding here. This is also the last city of the Liang State, although the cities to the north are all owned by the Liang State, but here you have to turn east and enter the territory of the Qi State.

"My lord, I might as well rest for the night in Yanshun Mansion, or I can discuss it with Marshal Situ." Fu Yashi is not good at riding horses, and this rush has tired him enough.

"Well, it's okay, I want some warm clothes, it's already slightly cold here, I'm afraid that the clothes we bring outside the plug can't keep out the cold." Yuanhang nodded in response on his horse.

"It's better to get a carriage to accompany you, which can be loaded and cold-resistant." Dao Zi is not afraid of the cold, but he is afraid that the voyage will not be able to bear it.

Yuanhang shook his head and said, "The carriage is too slow, and the target is too big, so you can't do it." ”

Fu Yashi also nodded in agreement, and everyone urged the horse forward.

Just after noon, the voyage and his entourage arrived at Yanshun Mansion. When I came to the garrison here, I saw Situ Hao and others.

"My lord, why are you here?" When Sun Ke saw Yuanhang, he ran out first and stepped forward to salute.

Yuanhang smiled and returned the salute, and Gu Xin also came out, clasping his fists and saluting.

Entering the house, Situ Hao greeted him at the door. Two steps forward, Shi Li said, "Marshal Situ, has you always been good?" ”

Situ Hao patted Yuanhang on the shoulder with a smile and said with a smile: "Okay, how are you?" ”

Yuanhang smiled and said, "It's all good, my grandfather is in my house, please rest assured." ”

"Oh?" Situ Hao stopped smiling and asked, "Then, ...... Yilan matter?"

Yuanhang nodded and said, "Grandfather is very good, you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Hmm." Situ Hao understood the meaning of the voyage and walked into the house with him.

"Why are you here?" After everyone sat down, Situ Hao asked about the purpose of the voyage.

"By the will of the Holy Lord, I will go to the outside of the Saiwai to form an alliance with Nubei, so that when the time is ripe, we will attack together." Yuan Voyage saw that the house was full of reliable people, so he said what he meant.

Situ Hao responded, thought for a while and said: "This is a long way to go to Saiwai, and I am afraid that the road is not very smooth, you have to be careful." ”

"Thank you Marshal for your concern, with Yashi with me, and without a shadow for them to protect, it will be fine." Yuanhang paused and continued: "Recently, there has been peace with Qi Country here? ”

"Well, the two countries are resting and recuperating, and the cities are also open to each other, but Yu Bo has been heavily inspected in the past, and I am afraid that it is not easy for you to bring in weapons." Situ Hao looked at the waists of several people and said.

"Weapons must be carried, otherwise you won't be caught in trouble." Yuanhang looked at them with a smile and turned around.

Shadowless and the others also laughed.

"Marshal, Jiangzhou is already in full spring, but it is still cold here, I have less clothes to bring when I leave, and I am tired of the marshal to wait for me to replenish and match some food."

"Well, don't worry, I'll get ready right away."

Yuanhang looked around and asked, "Why don't you see General Duanmulong?" ”

"He is guarding the town in the north, and the marshal intends to cultivate it so that he has the talent of a commander." Sun Ke leaned over and replied.

"Let's go rest first, and we'll talk about it when we get together in the evening." Situ Hao was worried that they were tired, so he sent them to rest, and then ordered someone to start preparing items for them on the voyage.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yuanhang and others left Situ Hao and got up on the road. After traveling for a long time, they came to a small village, sailed to see the sun, and then asked everyone to pause and go into the village to rest.

This village is called Bailiuzhuang, which is rich in timber and relies on the mountains to eat the mountains, so the people of this village also make some wooden utensils.

After sailing into the village, I couldn't find a tavern in a circle, so I had to find a place to sit down and rest outside the courtyard wall with everyone, and took out the dry food I brought and ate it.

Halfway through the meal, a man came from the south with a wooden comb hanging on both sides of the pole. As he passed in front of Yuanhang, Yuanhang called out to him.

"Big brother, are you making these wooden combs?"

The man stopped and nodded.

"It's ingenious." Yuanhang praised.

"Hehe, what's so difficult about this, I even know how to be a child in this village." The man smiled innocently and said with a grin.

"Children will? Isn't your village full of carpenters? ”

"Almost, family heirlooms, mixed food." The man nodded and replied.

After the man finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Yuanhang suddenly stood up and called out to him, took the bow and arrow of the meteor, and asked, "Can you make such a bow and arrow?" ”

The man looked at it, laughed, and said, "This boy is laughing, this is a weapon, how did we make it?" ”

Yuanhang shook his head and asked, "I'm going to make wooden bows and arrows, can you?" ”

"That's yes, but it can't be used, and it breaks with a little force."

Yuanhang turned around and smiled at Fu Yashi, Fu Yashi nodded and smiled, but Dao Zi and the others didn't know what Yuanhang was going to do.

Yuanhang took out a piece of silver, weighing five taels, and handed it to the man, and said, "I want thirty wooden bows like this one." Yuanhang looked up at the sun and continued: "In an hour and a half, you help me do it, and the silver will be yours." ”

The man looked at the silver in Yuanhang's hand in disbelief, looked up and asked, "Really?" ”

Yuanhang nodded. The man answered, dropped his burden, and ran back.

In a few moments, the man attracted more than ten people. And when they had heard this, they ran away from each other, and they called for the men, and they took the tools, and the ones who carried the wood carried the wood, and began to work on the road.

These people were really good hands, and in a short time they made two bows. The voyage compares with the meteors, which are the same in size and length.

A few more women came out of the village, and carried the oil to color the wooden bow, and when it was ready, they threaded the bowstring with hemp rope and hung it in the air to dry it.

After an hour or so, everyone placed the wooden bows on the ground neatly, and asked them to sail away. The voyage mixed the real bow of the meteor in it, and if it was really indistinguishable, he handed the silver to the man with satisfaction.

"My lord, what are you ......" Wuying didn't know what he meant, and stepped forward to ask.

After the villagers retreated, Fu Yashi stepped forward, pointed to the bow and arrow on the ground and said, "Your Excellency's intention should be to mix the bow in it so that you can bring it into the city." ”

Yuanhang nodded, asked Dao Zi to put all their bows and arrows on their horses, and left the village to continue walking.

"My lord, how do we bring our weapons in?" Shadowless raised the single knife and shook it.

"Yours can only be swallowed." Yuanhang threw out a sentence slowly, and several people laughed. Wuying looked at the single knife, shook his head and hung it back on his waist.

Yubo, the capital of the Shang Kingdom, the city is high and big, and the blue bricks are piled up to make people admire. The people of the city were divided into two rows, right in and left out. There were soldiers on each side, no less than forty people, and every citizen who entered and exited the city gate was searched from top to bottom.

"See?" He dismounted and summoned everyone together, and instructed: "When you enter the city, the meteor will lead the horse first, and put the bow in the innermost part on the left." The rest of the horses are handed over to Yashi, and you wait behind him. I'll go over there, and when the argument starts, you can go over the fence to the left, understand? ”

The crowd nodded, and watched as they headed toward the city gate, followed by themselves.

Meteor led the horse, with a dozen bows on the left and right on the horse's back, and when he arrived at the gate of the city, he was intercepted.

"Stop." Two Qi soldiers walked over, one holding a gun at the meteor, and the other looking at dozens of bows and arrows on horseback.

"Why do you have so many arrows, you kid? Don't know that weapons can't be brought into the city? The soldier drank a shooting star.

"Master Bing, this is a wooden bow that I sell to children, can't this one?" Meteor pretended not to know and looked at the soldier innocently.

"Wooden bow?" The soldier stepped forward, took one hand, stabbed his spear into the ground, and reached out to draw the arrow.

With a "snap", the soldier did not exert his strength before the bow was broken. I took another handful, it was still the same, and I cut it off directly.

"Master Bing, don't pull it anymore, I still have to sell some money to treat my mother." Meteor feigned heartache and sobbed.

The soldier glanced back at Meteor, then turned to his left, picked up a handful, put it back on his horse, waved at Meteor, and said, "Let's go." ”

After the meteor walked over, Fu Yashi walked over with a few horses. He was also stopped by the soldiers, searched up and down, and asked, "Why did you bring so many horses by yourself?" ”

"Back to my lord, this horse was bought by a customer in the city, and the small one is here to deliver the horse."

"Oh, let's go in." Before the soldier could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a quarrel on the other side.

"I'll kill you and let you hit me." Yuan Hang saw that it was about to be Dao Zi's turn to enter the city, so he rushed over on the left side, collided with a man who had just left the city, and immediately started to hit the man.

As soon as the voyage side moved, it attracted the attention of the soldiers on the side of the exit of the city. Wuying and the others used Fu Yashi's horses to block the sight of the soldiers at the entrance to the city, and the cat body got into the team on the side of the city.

After a while, he lost his strength and pulled out to the entrance of the city. Who knew that the man who was beaten did not let go, and before Yuanhang turned back, he was faced with a punch that hit Yuanhang directly on the right eye.

Yuanhang only felt that his right eye was full of Venus, and he regretted why he didn't like it just now, and then he fought again, and found someone who was weak and could beat him.

The man was still chasing and beating, but he was repelled by the soldiers, scolded a few words fiercely, and turned to leave. Dao Zi wanted to rush out, but Ah Jin grabbed him and shook his head slightly. Yuanhang covered his right eye and lined up at the entrance to the city.

"You guy, don't you know that weapons can't pass through the city gates?" The soldier shouted without a shadow and pointed, "If you want to go out of the city and throw your weapons back into the city, you can either go back." ”

Without saying a word, Wuying turned around and walked towards the city. Ah Jin's soft sword tied to his waist was also found, and he also turned around and entered the city.

Dao Zi was refreshed, and without waiting for the soldiers to check, he took out the scimitar from his boots, held it up and shouted, "I also have a weapon." ”

The soldier glanced at it, waved his hand, and said, "Is your knife also a weapon?" Let's go over. ”

Dao Zi answered, took a step and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and looked back, the city gate was behind. Hurriedly said: "Master Bing, this is really a weapon, I'd better go back to the city." ”

",,." The soldier waved his hand again and again, and Dao Zi hurriedly turned around to chase after them.

Yuanhang looked at Dao Zi with one left eye, and he loved and hated in his heart. This idiot almost made a mistake.
