"Be careful!"

He made a gesture toward his companion, and the two men who had followed him immediately dispersed, shields, guns, and guns lined up in front and back.

Yu Guozhen attached great importance to the surrounding terrain, and after the young guards stopped from the construction, he began to order them to leave Xinxiang and draw a map of the surrounding Kancha terrain. Yu Guozhen had already taught them the lessons of scale and contour lines, so it was not difficult for these teenagers to draw maps, but the real difficulty was to wade through the dense jungle and deal with all the dangers that did not welcome them.

The figure on the opposite side watched them from a distance, and there was no other movement. Jiang Shore shouted twice, and the figure tilted his head to look at him, because from a long distance, he could vaguely see that the person was a woman.

After a while, the woman slowly moved closer to this side, and seeing that she was alone, she motioned for everyone to stay where they were, and walked over to the other side.

The woman said something in a very pleasant voice, and she racked her brain, but she couldn't understand what it meant. Seeing that he was at a loss, the woman changed her language and said slowly, "Who are you?" ”

The woman was quite handsome, with dark skin, very bright eyes, and smooth skin that proved that she was not very old. Jiang An arched his hand, saluted her, and slowly said in the Qinzhou dialect: "We are here to explore the road and want to go to Fangcheng Ruins." ”

Since the Jiajing period, Qinzhou and Annan of the Ming Dynasty have reopened the ruins of the defense city for the border people of the two countries to trade, which is what Huang Shun told Jiang'an, and Jiang'an took it as the reason for his own line.

"Hmph...... Bah! The woman snorted, spat out a mouthful of bright red juice, which looked like a blood stain, she looked Jiang An up and down, and then looked at the young guard with a weapon in his hand, and muttered something in a low voice.

Yu Guozhen was extremely disgusted by this, not only because the betel nut juice spit out everywhere was extremely unhygienic, but also because he knew that betel nut juice was not good for his teeth, and if he chewed it for a long time, his teeth would be easy to blacken and rot.

Even the generals and others were very dissatisfied with the custom of chewing betel nuts, so when they saw the woman's actions, the young men behind the generals frowned.

"Excuse me...... How do I get to Fangcheng Ruins? Shogishi asked tentatively.

"Han Chinese, liars!" The woman snorted again, and this time she understood what she said.

"We're not liars......"

"Go to Fangcheng, there is a post road, take the post road, you come here, this is the land of Luo Dong when we come!" The woman stammered slightly, "Liar, liar!" ”

Jiang Hehe laughed: "We are not liars, we are really here to do business, you see......"

He put down his backpack, and when he saw that the other party was a woman, he took out a piece of clothing from his backpack and put it on the ground. When the teenagers found out that it was a woman's skirt, and that it had been brought from the city of Nanjing, they all burst into laughter.

A young man simply said: "Jiangan, you are really good, you actually brought all the clothes of the Oiran lady here!" ”

Jiang An ignored them, but retreated until he was a few feet away, raised his hands and said to the Dong woman, "You can see, the clothes we brought are very beautiful. ”

The Dong woman pursed her lips disdainfully, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at the clothes on the ground. Although the Dong people's view of beauty is different from that of the Han people, the clothes made of colored silk are Li Guangyan's masterpieces inspired by Yu Guozhen, at least they can give the Dong women a completely different sense of beauty.

In addition, Jiang An had already withdrawn from a distance, and the woman was not afraid of his deception, so she came over and picked up her clothes, stroked on her body, and then looked back at Jiang An, turned around and ran.

She is extremely fast, and she is also very comfortable in navigating the mountains and forests, even if the young guard has been specially trained to climb, he is not comparable to her. Seeing her run away, Jiang Kian shook his head with some regret, turned his face, and saw that his companions were still smiling evilly, and couldn't help but roll his eyes fiercely.

"If you miss the little lady, go and talk to the little official yourself, and the little official will be beautiful for you. Whether it is the red card on the Qinhuai River, or our inaction-inactive lady, there is everything. He scolded: "What kind of reason is secretly laughing at Lao Tzu here?" ”

"Ah, the veteran is a thief, we can't do it yet, but the veteran, you are not young, do you really miss the little lady? Otherwise, how can you carry the little lady's clothes with you? ”

"Get out, this is prepared for me by the petty officials, and the petty officials will explain it when they go to the state capital, and the status of women among the Dong people is also high, so don't despise it." Jiang An snorted: "Lao Tzu wants a little lady, and you still need to give gifts?" Only the little lady sticks to Lao Tzu's share! ”

"Blow, you blow hard!"

"Don't believe me? At the beginning, the little official was in Nanjing, it was a horseback leaning on the bridge full of red sleeves, as long as he was willing, the most beautiful little lady on the bank of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing City cried and shouted and begged him to be close. Although Lao Tzu is not poor, he has always learned the skills of petty officials, in this poor and remote area of Qinzhou, are you afraid that no one will post it? ”

Everyone laughed, they followed Yu Guozhen to Nanjing, and they had seen the prosperity of Nanjing, but when they came to Qinzhou and built Xinxiang, no one found it boring. Seeing a village rise in their hands, everyone felt a sense of accomplishment.

Since the Dong girl had already left, they turned around, diverged from each other, and began to continue their exploration along the tributaries of the Yuhong River.

Yu Guozhen does not want to understand the entire Qinzhou, but the sand table in a radius of dozens of miles near Xinxiang must be done, after all, this is not a peaceful place, although there is no big enemy that Yu Guozhen cannot confront head-on for the time being like thieves and Dongyu, but there are still some lawless Dong barbarians and rampant pirates.

Not long after walking forward, a young man from the house guard suddenly "shh It was a Dong person singing a slang song, and they couldn't understand it at all, but the tune with the rhyme of the mountains and forests still made the teenagers suddenly feel something.

"It's the Dong girl from Fangcai." Someone whispered.

Jiang Ye pursed his lips and shook his head: "We only brought three days of supplies, Hugh has to delay time, let's go!" ”

"Ah, I'm afraid the veteran is a little weak-hearted, why do you say that the Dong girl followed us, isn't it because the veteran gave her clothes? It's upside down, hahahaha, speaking of which, if the veteran marries a Dong girl, it is a beautiful thing, let the Dong girl use the entire Dong nationality as a dowry, and the little officials will have as much land as they want! ”

"Damn, you know to ridicule Lao Tzu, if Jiuhe is here, do you dare to say it?" Shogishi scolded.

"Nine Rivers? It's all right. ”

"That's it, that's it, it's only Wuya's guy, we don't dare to ridicule it, that guy can't afford to lose, now he is ridiculing him, and he must find it back in something."

"But it's true that Jiuhe is more suitable, he has already nagged with the junior officials many times, saying that he is looking for the daughter of the cabinet elder...... Poof, what kind of face are those pavilion elders, the daughters they gave birth to, I'm just afraid of the general square head and square face, what's so good? ”

Jiang An successfully turned the object of everyone's ridicule to Luo Jiuhe, and everyone didn't even pay attention, and happily began to discuss the old daughter of the pavilion.

But the song was staccato and followed them, and it never disappeared for a long time. Jiang An felt that something was wrong, thought about it, and led everyone to follow the sound, so he was teased again.

Soon, he saw the Dong girl again, she was still dressed as a genius, the dress was rolled up and carried on her back, and when she saw Jiang An coming, the girl smiled.

"Thank you for the gift." She said in Chinese.

"You're welcome, if it's convenient for the girl, can you show us the way?"

"If you want to go to the ruins, you're going wrong." The girl tilted her head and looked at Jiang'an for a moment, then laughed and said, "I know you, you are newcomers from the other side of the river. ”

Jiang Shore was stunned: "Huh? ”

"I've heard that a group of new Han people on the other side of the river are burning waste on our land." The girl stroked: "It must be you, you want to take our land!" ”

When she said this, there was no anger, and Jiang Kian did not bother to argue with her and her Dong daughter about this issue. A long time ago, Yu Guozhen instilled in them the idea that "the civilization of the Chinese race is the best in the four seas, and it is natural that it should be declared in the four directions and leave no stone behind, which is the natural duty of the Chinese people since Pangu opened the sky".

After arriving in Qinzhou, I saw that the climate and soil here were not inferior to Xiang'an, but the people's livelihood was withered, especially the ethnic minorities such as Dong Man, and even slash-and-burn farming, which made Jiang An and others feel a sense of mission in their hearts: the petty officials brought them to Qinzhou, and they were born to cultivate this piece of desolate land into fertile soil for a bumper harvest, and to take them to educate these people who were still in ignorance into Chinese people.

"In that case, what do you want us to do?" Shogishi raised his chin and said.

"I like to see you like that." The Dong girl also raised her chin from him: "You are so white, whiter than our Dong girl." ”

Shogan's face turned red, and he glanced back at his companion, who fortunately was the only one who understood the local dialect.

"What are you talking nonsense?" He was a little embarrassed: "If you don't want to show us the way, then go away!" ”

"I'm complimenting you, what's wrong?" Dong Nu laughed: "You Han people are most accustomed to lying, and if you are pretty, you are clearly happy in your heart, but you still have to say two sentences in your mouth." ”

"It's called politeness, it's called etiquette, do you understand?"

"We Dong people also know politeness, but also know etiquette, come to the guest, kill pigs and cattle to serve wine and food delicious and drink, that is polite, take your own things and don't take others, that is called etiquette!"

Jiang An was picked out by Yu Guozhen to deal with strangers, originally because he took a fancy to his sharp teeth, but in the face of this Dong girl, Jiang An felt that his skills were completely suppressed and he couldn't communicate with the other party at all.

Moreover, he had come to lead the team to survey the terrain, not to find someone to debate, so in a fit of rage, he turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as he took a step, he saw the shocked eyes of those companions behind him.

He knew something was wrong, and he was about to turn around!
