Du He left the samurai family, returned to the Du Mansion, and bid farewell to the two ladies of the family. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Changle and Li Xueyan are both reasonable and virtuous helpers, and when they heard the reason, they didn't stop him, but they were a little reluctant to help him sort out his bags.
Changle, who had already learned how to cook, even cooked for him himself and equipped him with dry food to eat on the road.
Li Xueyan said quietly: "Jiangzhou is located in the east of the river, north of the Yellow River, it is not far away, this trip will take ten days and a half months, be careful in everything." ”
"Hmm!" Du He answered, hugged his beloved wife in his arms, kissed his forehead, and said with a smile: "I will rush back as soon as possible." At this time, I also thought of Gongsun Yeyue in my heart, and said in my heart: "If you go quickly, it will take ten days, and if you go slowly, you should say hello to her and replenish some food supplies." ”
Gongsun Yeyue has been hiding in the palace for more than a month, and since Li Chengqian falsely accused him and was punished, the search has also been delayed. After a long time, no trace of Gongsun Yeyue can be found, and the possibility of escaping from the palace is getting bigger and bigger, and the palace has gradually returned to its previous calm, living up to its previous strictness.
In the final analysis, Li Shimin did not have a lot of anger towards Gongsun Yeyue, although the assassination at the banquet made him lose some face, but it was the extremely vicious Shi Yuhua who was killed, this ** beast in the world. For this reason, the Tang Dynasty did not even issue a wanted warrant. Although the main purpose of this is to save the face of the royal family, and you can't blatantly arrest a heroic hero who eliminates harm for the people, but if you really want to kill Gongsun Yeyue, how can you have so much scruple about the crime you want to add?
Du He also took advantage of the gap in defense to relocate Gongsun Yeyue in a safe place where he didn't have to hide in the water.
Gongsun Yeyuexin's hideout is very safe, but it is not worth mentioning to say it, that is, hiding on the roof of Hongwen Pavilion, no one would have imagined that the assassin who disappeared out of thin air was above their heads, basking in the sun leisurely, enjoying the beautiful scenery of this palace from a high place.
Due to the grand scale of Hongwenguan and the triangular eaves, even if you stand on a high place, you can't find Gongsun Yeyue. The only downside is that it doesn't protect against the rain, but Doho has been equipped with oiled paper to wrap around everyday utensils to keep them from getting wet. The sky is also beautiful, and there are few rainy days in the past month.
Du He walked into the Hongwen Pavilion, as a celebrity of the Tang Dynasty, looking for some materials in this national library and turning over some classic books will not arouse anyone's suspicion.
I went straight to the top floor, saw that there was no one around, whistled outside the window, and my light body jumped down from the roof and got through the window. Gongsun Yeyue was wearing a white samurai costume at the moment, which Duhe had specially brought from outside the palace.
The samurai uniform revealed the undulating and beautiful figure of Gongsun Yeyue.
I have to say that in order to be clean, the woman can not live her life, because she has not taken a bath for a while, and Gongsun Yeyue is uncomfortable even if she is in danger, so she asked him to bring a change of clothes.
"It's only been more than ten days, why are you here again!" Gongsun Yeyue said kindly, the expression was the opposite of the words in his mouth, that is, he said: "It's been more than ten days, why did you come!" ”
Du He rolled her eyes, saw what she really wanted to say, and said, "My Night Moon Heroine, you think this is your back garden, come if you want?" Running here every day, I don't suspect that I'm out of the ghost. If it weren't for the recent trend of reform in Datang, I would have pretended to check the experience of my ancestors in governing the country, and the number of times I have been in and out of Hongwen Hall would have been suspicious. ”
"I have something to do and I'll be back in a month at most! I brought some food, plus the original, enough to last me until I returned! He smiled and untied two cloth bags from his wrists, most of which were air-dried beef and pork, which were not easy to spoil even if they filled their stomachs. I have to be glad that the costumes of the Tang Dynasty are not much different from those of the Han Dynasty, with wide sleeves, otherwise it would be really difficult to transport.
Gongsun Yeyue's eyes showed reluctance, and his expression was as if he was about to part with his best friend.
To be exact, it's to be separated from your best friend.
As the saying goes, adversity sees the truth, and at the time of life and death, Du He can reliably stand beside Gongsun Yeyue and give strong support. This made the lonely Gongsun Yeyue very moved, and the relationship with him naturally became closer and more trusting.
Although her character doesn't say so many words of gratitude, and she is often duplicitous, when she is alone and hides on the roof, she can't help but look forward to Du He's arrival. Now that he heard that he was leaving, he felt bad in his heart, but he couldn't think of any reason to stay, so he said strongly: "If you want to go, you can go, don't pay attention to me!" ”
Du He smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I will come back as soon as possible, no matter how I say it, I can't leave a beauty like you here and ignore it." He winked as if he was teasing!
Du He's voice fell, and Gongsun Yeyue's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Ignore you!" ”
With a "whoosh", he climbed from the window to the roof.
Immediately, Du He resigned to Li Shimin, Luo Tong, Fang Yiai and others, and explained some future events.
Du He is good at employing people, usually when he is in power, most of the things are handed over to his subordinates, he only acts as a supervisor, so even if he is not in the position, all the departments can still operate independently, as he is in office, so it is very easy to go.
Only the Academy of Science and Technology delayed some time, and the development of the compass was already in the final stage, and his request was to complete it before returning.
With everything in order, Du He rode alone on the road to Jiangzhou.
This skill is bold, and Du He never brings any bodyguards when he goes out.
The history of Tongguan has a long history and is located at the crossing of the Yellow River, located in the three provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan, and is the only way to choke the post road from Chang'an to Luoyang, and is the key to enter and exit the three Qins, so it has become the only place and key pass in the Central Plains in the east and out of the pass in the west since the end of the Han Dynasty. It is known as "the first risk in Jinnai", "the throat of the four towns", and "one hundred and two passes".
Every time Du He passed through this Tong Pass, he couldn't help but marvel at the wisdom of the ancients and the magic of the Creator.
This small pass, but it can influence the general trend of the world, which is really a blessing for China.
Tongguan was established on the site of Hangu Pass, and the two Xiongguan can be said to be the same mother's compatriots.
At the beginning, Qin arrived at the Hangu Pass and lived in the Six Kingdoms United Nations Offensive, saving the danger of destroying the country, because of the Hangu Pass, the Qin State could develop quietly in the Pass, without the threat of any military disasters, so that when the First Emperor succeeded to the throne, the strength of the Qin State was above the comprehensive strength of the Six Kingdoms.
The same is true in the Tang Dynasty, although I dare not say that there are no Hangu and Tongguan passes, Qin and the Tang Dynasty must not be able to dominate the world, but it will definitely not be as smooth as in history.
Just as Du He sighed, a familiar figure appeared in his eyes, riding from far and near, blocking his way forward.
"Why are you here?" Du He saw the person who came clearly, and his face was surprised, it was Wu Meiniang, who had not been separated for a long time.
Wu Meiniang was dressed in a loose Hu suit, riding on a docile horse, and she had a bit of the demeanor of a grassland child, which made people's hearts "thump"!
Could this be the legendary uniform temptation?
This Tongguan is the nearest artery out of the customs, and it is the only way for Du He, so when Du He left the Wu family with his front foot, Wu Meiniang came to Tongguan first to wait. Listening to Du He's inquiry, she smiled earnestly, "I want you to come, I want to go to Jiangzhou to see the price market, take me with you!" ”
Du He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If I say no, will you listen?" ”
Wu Meiniang narrowed her eyes and said proudly: "Naturally not, unless you hate me and drive me away, I won't leave." ”
At the moment when Wu Meiniang appeared, Du He knew that there was such a result, and let him say that he hated Wu Meiniang, so he didn't even have the idea of resisting, and decisively accepted his fate: "Then what else can I say, let's go together!" ”
He laughed as well, and it was much more comfortable to have a beautiful woman with him along the way, than to be alone.
Wu Meiniang showed a victorious expression, turned the horse, and the two went to Tongguan City together.
Out of Tongguan, they came to the most famous Fengling ferry at the Yellow River ferry.
The Yellow River is the mother river of China, the turbid river water but nurtures thousands of Chinese children, this is the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, there are many businessmen and travelers who travel between the north and south of the Yellow River, people with business vision directly opened a wild shop at the ferry, started a business, in the long run, the ferry on both sides of the river has become a small commercial village, all the houses are shops, come and go full of people, donkeys and horses neigh, and the sound of people and cars.
As soon as Du He and Wu Meiniang arrived at the ferry, a soliciting guy dressed as a shopkeeper stopped in front of the two of them.
"What a virtuous couple with a good man and a woman...... Two, it's not early, and in half a minute, it will be dark. It is extremely unsafe to cross the river at night, so it is better to stay overnight in a small shop and set off tomorrow. The famous shop 'Andu' is the largest inn in the whole ferry, and the small guarantee is that as long as you stay in our shop for one night, you can keep the safe and secure river crossing tomorrow. I don't know what the son and the lady think! The shopkeeper introduced an inn next to him with excellent eloquence.
Du He was about to speak, but Wu Meiniang beside him had already taken the lead and said, "Just stay, we originally planned to stay here, where is not the same." Perhaps because of the sentence "a virtuous couple with a talented man and a beautiful woman", she seemed extremely happy and hurriedly agreed.
"Okay!" Du He didn't care, and said, "Then prepare two upper rooms for me, and prepare some signature wine and food...... There were also horses with good hay to serve. ”
The shopkeeper glanced at them in surprise, and without saying much, he beckoned someone to lead the horse.
Wu Meiniang followed behind her depressedly, a little depressed again.
The inn business is excellent and almost full
I found a clean table, and soon after I sat down, the shopkeeper delivered the food. The dishes were also hearty, with chicken and a large pot of white wine.
Du He drank a lot of wine, drank bowl after bowl, Wu Meiniang accompanied him to drink some, and his pretty face gradually flushed.
