Chapter 100: The Dispute over the Source of the Haliutu River
In the early morning, the bright morning sun shone obliquely into Zhu Qizhen's room, and Zhu Qizhen, who was already wearing the leather armor sewn by Naren himself, stood up and helped Wei Mingtong and Nian Ning, who were kneeling in front of him.
"For this matter, please leave it to the two Aiqing. If he knew that I had returned to Ming, Boyan Pingzhang, who knew that my surname would definitely be kind to you......" Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath, looking at these two loyal subordinates who took the initiative to stay and take on the task of covering up the purpose of Zhu Qizhen's trip, he really had no words to describe the touching and a little desolation in his heart.
"Your Majesty, let's go, don't miss the time, the surname of the ministers should have been thrown on this prairie a long time ago, it was Your Majesty who saved us, and now, Your Majesty is at the time of employing people, and the ministers dare not compete for the first?" Nian Ning smiled, although the smile was also a little astringent, but the decisiveness in his eyes seemed extremely firm.
"Your Majesty, please leave the house quickly, if you delay any longer, if Tarson and the others are suspicious, then even if you want to leave, you won't be able to leave." Seeing the frequent glances of Gao Yun outside, Yuan Bin couldn't help it after all, and shouted in a deep voice.
"Okay, I'll go, here, please two of you." Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath, Huo Ran turned around, and strode towards the outside...... When Kan Kan walked out of the inner courtyard, he saw a gloomy Detachment, and Zhu Qizhen couldn't help laughing: "General, what's wrong?" ”
"Alas, don't mention it, I was just about to prepare the horses and bows and arrows to accompany Your Majesty, but unexpectedly let the county lord reprimand him." When Tarsun saw Zhu Qizhen, he hurriedly gave a long salute and said with a wry smile.
"Oh?" Zhu Qizhen raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile on his face did not change: "Hehe, it seems that the temper of the county lord of Naren is really big enough." ”
"Whoever says no, if you disobey her at all, maybe the whip will come, and whoever makes the prince and Lord Pingzhang always love her, even if she is beaten, it will be in vain." Offson was a little smuggled. glanced at Zhu Qizhen's back, and couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty has a lot of entourage hunting today." ”
"There's no way, last time I promised the county lord of Naren, this time, when I want to compete with the county lord of Naren, to see who hunts more prey, naturally I have to pick more talents." Zhu Qizhen stepped forward with a smile, and lowered his voice when he arrived at Delson. "Today, if I can't win against your county lord, won't I lose the face of a man?"
Hearing this, it made Tarson feel like a confidant, but Zhu Qizhen, the great tomorrow, dared to say this, but he couldn't. "That being the case, then the subordinate will wish Your Majesty a victory."
Zhu Qizhen patted Delson's shoulder and said with a smile: "Then I'm not welcome, I'm sorry for your good words, if I win today, tonight, I should invite the general with wine and food, and I hope the general will not refuse." ”
"This is natural, Your Majesty has an order, and your subordinates dare not obey it." Hearing this, Tuo Erxun, who had always let Zhu Qizhen's cooks babble, couldn't help but subconsciously swallow his saliva and replied loudly.
"In this case, I will go first." Zhu Qizhen glanced at Tuo Xun with a smile, said no more, and walked quickly towards the gate of the courtyard.
"General, are we really not going to send people with you?" Next to him, the deputy Qianhu China, who had just been transferred to the team to guard Zhu Qizhen, couldn't help but squint his eyes when he watched Zhu Qizhen and his party leave the courtyard gate, like a greedy jackal who devoured blood. "If something happens and the prince blames it, we can't afford to bear it."
"Chi, what do you mean? What is the general going to do, you can't interject? Hearing this, a hundred households next to him couldn't help but ask.
"What, you're just a hundred, do you want to collide with the official?!" Chi Nayin turned his face with a smile, and his vicious gaze fell on the hundred households who opened his mouth to ask.
"Enough! It's all your own people, what's the noise?! Offsun glared at his subordinate and turned his face to look at the deputy who had been appointed first, with an undisguised look of disgust on his face. Since you feel the need to send someone with you, then you can do it, Ben Qianhu is going to rest, go, brothers, go to Ben Qianhu to drink. ”
Detachment's greeting was echoed by everyone present, and in just a few breaths, Detachment was surrounded by hundreds of households, leaving behind the deputy Qianhu of China.
"Delson, you stupid and stupid bison, one day, Lao Tzu will make you suffer." The resentful gaze stared at Delson's back like a blood-sucking mosquito, and it wasn't until the group disappeared outside the courtyard gate that Chi Na spat viciously. "Hmph, no wonder the prince wants me to come and see you, it seems that you are really affected by the emperor of the southerners."
"General, what then?" China's own soldier cautiously approached and asked in a low voice.
Chi Na stroked the goat's whiskers under his chin, and said coldly: "Send ten people to follow them secretly, remember, be careful and be careful, don't let them find traces, if there is anything wrong, report it immediately." ”
-------------------- on a hill a few miles away from Shacheng, Naren and Zhu Qizhen sat side by side on horseback, and Naren's eyes looked at the sand city on the distant horizon, which had gradually become a black line.
"Brother Zhu, you say, will we come back?" Naren's eyes were faintly watery, and without waiting for Zhu Qizhen to answer, Naren smiled herself: "Am I too stupid to even ask such a thing." ”
"There will be a chance to come back, but not now." Zhu Qizhen looked at Naren gently, stretched out his hand, and stroked her hair, which was blown by the wind.
Regarding the pain of Naren being separated from his relatives, Zhu Qizhen knew that he had no way to persuade him, so he could only reach out and shake Naren's hand. Naren held Zhu Qizhen tightly with her backhand. "Well, Naren knows, Brother Zhu, let's go!" After looking at it for a long time, Na Ren Fang looked back at himself and said with a smile at Zhu Qizhen, a group of dozens of horses, beating horses and running towards the Haliutu River in the northwest of Nasha City, along both sides of the river, there are often all kinds of wild beasts lingering in Panheng, which is the best hunting place, along the way, I also encountered several thorn rangers, but as soon as I saw the banner of the lord of Na Ren, they avoided it one after another, and they couldn't avoid it, so they hurriedly reined in their horses and saddled to give salutes, for fear of offending this noble girl surnamed Lie Ruhu, who was deeply favored by Taishi and Boyan Pingzhang.
Galloping to the right bank of the Haliutu River, but without the slightest stop, he immediately turned around and hurried southward, and among the guards who had been with Nana Ren, there were obviously a few people with uneasiness and nervousness on their faces.
Nearly two hours, Zhu Qizhen and the others finally arrived at the source of the Naha Liutu River, which is a land of lush and fertile water and grass, and large and small beasts can be seen moving in the distance, or staying in this swampy area.
The mount under him was already sweating, Zhu Qizhen gasped and jumped off the horse, although during this time in the prairie, he had been practicing equestrianism very hard, but this kind of long running was really the first time.
"Brother Zhu, can you still hold on?" Naren jumped off her horse and ordered the guards to saddle the horses and feed them some water, salt, and forage. asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's just sweating." Zhu Qizhen patted the numb inner thigh, and said with a smile to Naren.
At this time, there was a sudden quarrel in the place where Naren's guards gathered, and both of them couldn't help but turn their heads to look, but it was the two guards who were arguing and pushing, but the Naweisha fox was already at the outermost part of the crowd, and he had quietly removed the horn bow on his back, seeing this scene, Zhu Qizhen's heart couldn't help jumping. Could it be that something has changed?
-------------------- "What are you guys doing here?!" Seeing this, Naren raised her eyebrows, and rushed over in a rage, shouting and scolding.
"County Lord, we're all here, there's a yellow sheep not far away, why don't you let our brothers catch it? It's a hunter who has a bow in his hand, and he should go hunting, so how can we eat these dried meats and not catch fresh yellow sheep with our hands? Among the group, led by the Han Chaolu, saw Naren coming over, Chaolu had a flattering smile on his face, and smiled at Nanaren.
"Did you not hear the orders of the lord of this county, or did you want to disobey them?" Naren stared coldly at Chaolu, who was smiling hypocritically, and shouted. "What's the matter, Chaolu, your stone is the most boring and boring in the world, why are you talking too much today, what does the county lord want to do, it's not your turn to ask." In the end, Naren's tone became more and more cold, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.
The hard bow in the hand of the Weisha fox, who had already stepped to Naren's side, had already been equipped with a long arrow, and his eyes as cold as iron stared coldly at Chaolu and the others.
The smile on Chaolu's face gradually faded, but his tone became much tougher. "The county lord, it's not that Chaolu is rude, we are on the orders of the prince, serving the county lord, naturally I don't dare to be disrespectful to the county lord, but now the county lord takes us too far away from the royal court, and we don't hunt when we encounter beasts, this behavior is too abnormal."
"Why, where the county lord wants to go, it is the freedom of the county lord, and now, I am not afraid to tell you, the county lord, I want to go to Daming with tomorrow." Naren raised her hand and swept away the strands of hair that was brushing her face, and her pretty face became colder and colder. "If anyone is unwilling to go, he can stand up now and tell the lord of the county."
"We are your faithful servants of the county lord, and we will follow you wherever you go." Among the guards, many people seemed to have known the news, and there was no surprise on their faces.
However, there are a few people who can't help but change color in unison with Chaolu.
