Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Dragon Leaves the Imperial Capital (1/5)
It was easy to get into June, and the affairs in the court were almost dealt with, so Li Guanqi took out to plan the patrol. Because of the last time he was taken captive, Qin Min and others did not agree to Li Guanqi sneaking out. Li Guanqi, who was forced, had no choice but to proclaim the holy decree, tell the world, and patrol the south of the Jiandao in a grand manner.
Because it is a huge patrol, the procedure that should be taken still has to go, to pay tribute to the temple, to bid farewell to the queen mother, the queen and the hundred officials in Beijing to go out of the city to see each other, a series of ceremonies are really cumbersome. Moreover, when the emperor went out on patrol, the power of this protection had to keep up, and the whole army of Xiao Cavalry Guard and Yu Lin Wei was dispatched, all the way to obey, and the mighty team of 8,000 people was several miles long.
As soon as the team left the capital, Li Guanqi ordered the guard of honor to march slowly according to the established route, while he took a group of guards to pretend to be merchants and stayed away from the large army and ran away first-he still had to pay a private visit.
This is the hottest time of the year, but the sky changed soon after Li Guanqi left Beijing. First, the wind blew, the desert black clouds dyed the sky into a gray, the west wind raged on the empty and lonely fields, and the yellow sand and floating soil came in bursts, choking people breathlessly.
The next day, the wind was a little lighter, but it started to rain. Zhejiang and Zhejiang, but it is not big, Li Guanqi marched in this rain, at first he was quite interested, and he laughed all the way.
But after a few days, it was either the sound of the wind or the rain, and gradually, he felt boring and monotonous, and Li Guanqi became dull.
The emperor's face was not good, and the guards did not dare to make fun. When something happens, he bored his head and walked as a "buddy" to drive the livestock, which made Li Guanqi feel even more unhappy.
Seeing this, he leaned forward and said, "Childe." Let's go together with such a large group of people, this thing and that, didn't make you unhappy, why don't I and Yunjing accompany you to go first, and let them follow far behind? ”
Li Guanqi has actually been impatient for a long time, and this line of people is a car. It's a cargo again, because it's raining, the road is muddy, and you can't go out for 20 miles a day, at this speed, let alone Jiannan, even if you go to Shannan, you have to go to August 15.
So after listening to Nameless's suggestion, Li Guanqi agreed without thinking about it, and the guards also felt depressed to stay with Li Guanqi all the time. Of course, I am happy to agree. But He Ziming was a little hesitant, he was the commander of the guards, and he was responsible for Li Guanqi's safety. And Li Guanqi was kidnapped under his nose before, and now Li Guanqi wants to act with only himself and the nameless, how can he let go?
Li Guanqi saw him snorting and said with a smile: "Emperor Qianwei is out on patrol this time, and the guard of honor is dozens of miles behind us." I'm a white boy now, who will come to me for trouble if he's fine? Even if it was a robber who cut the path. With the two of you here, are there any thieves you can't deal with? ”
Nameless also said, "That's what Childe said. Brother Yunjing, you are too cautious. You and I join forces, who in the world can resist? ”
He Ziming swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Naturally, I am not afraid of robbers. I was worried, just the three of us, away from the brigade, stationed at the gate. The accommodation is inconvenient, the son is a daughter, in case the water and soil are not adapted, how can it be good to have a headache and brain fever? Moreover, the remnants of the Shangguan family of the former dynasty are still at large, and they have been trying to disadvantage the son. There are a lot of people who have real kung fu under their hands, and I'm afraid ......"
"Long-winded!" Before He Ziming finished speaking, Li Guanqi had already whipped the horse's buttocks under his crotch, and jumped out with a bang. Nameless also hurriedly took the horse and caught up.
He Ziming was helpless, so he had to give a few words to the guards and followed.
The three of them left the brigade and just rode their horses and galloped, and this galloping pleasure made Li Guanqi also sweep away the gloom on his face, and let out bursts of wild laughter from time to time.
Since Nameless entered the palace, he has also felt quite constrained, and now he is also happy, and he even played a chess game with Li Guanqi. He Ziming, who was whole, kept shaking his head and smiling bitterly, and in order not to be thrown away by the two, he had to raise his horsewhip frequently......
What made He Ziming feel slightly relieved was that he was calm along the way, and he also rushed to a city before dark, so he didn't have to sleep in the wilderness.
When I got closer, I realized that this city could be called majestic. Li Guanqi and the three of them walked more than two miles outside the city river around the official road to find the south gate of the city.
"Childe, let's get to the boundary of Xuanzhou." Nameless smiled at Li Guanqi and said, "At this speed, it won't take a few days to reach Shannan." ”
Li Guanqi nodded, and took the lead into the city. Because it is still on the boundary of Jiangnan Province, Shicheng is the seat of Xuanzhou, so the city is also very prosperous, the streets are bustling with pedestrians, and the shops on both sides are also lined up......
Because the sky was gradually getting dark, the three of them wandered around the city looking for inns, but the inns in this city were doing very well business, and they asked several in a row that were full. I walked around until the end of the unitary period, and then I found an old store that "came again", saying that there were still a few vacant rooms in the north courtyard.
He Ziming was not worried that Li Guanqi would live in the same courtyard with others, so he took out a silver ingot and asked the boss to move all the guests in the north courtyard to other places. The boss saw that He Ziming's hand was an official ingot of fifty taels, and he knew that he had met a big customer, so he hurriedly went to discuss with the guests.
After a while, the boss walked back with a bitter face.
Seeing this, He Ziming frowned and asked, "What?" Are guests reluctant to move? ”
The boss said helplessly: "The other guests are easy to say, but only a girl in the No. 1 room of Tianzi in the North Courtyard disagrees." ”
He Ziming took out another ingot of silver and said, "You take this silver to the girl, see if she is willing to move?" ”
How could the boss ever see someone so generous? He agreed, picked up the ingot, and folded it back.
This time, the boss came back very quickly, but his hands were caged in his sleeves and not exposed.
He Ziming asked, "Did the girl agree?" ”
The boss swung his two hands on the counter, and in one hand he held two ingots of snowflake silver, but it was not the ingot-shaped official ingot used by He Ziming, but a tile-shaped silver ingot.
He Ziming asked suspiciously: "Boss, what does this mean?" ”
Without waiting for the boss to answer, Li Guanqi was already laughing and said, "This still doesn't understand?" You give someone fifty taels to move, and they get back two hundred taels, let us get out, haha! ”
He Ziming looked embarrassed and said angrily: "I'll go and talk to this girl." ”
"Come back." Li Guanqi stopped him and said with a smile, "A girl, what are you worried about?" There are so many rooms in the north courtyard, why do you have to drive everyone away? ”
"But ......"
"Don't." Li Guanqi interrupted He Ziming, and then said to the boss, "If the girl doesn't move, don't move, let's stay!" (To be continued......)
