Chapter 339 Interesting Facts on the Westbound Road
Speaking of which, Huang Tianhua and Deng Chanyu returned to the court to sing and eliminate demons, but they didn't want to delay for a year because of the things in their respective doors, and now they finally came together. Now that the two of them have lived in the Wucheng Palace, they asked Huang Yan to bring Huang Xue in.
Huang Xue was naturally overjoyed when she heard the news, and even summoned the two into the palace to meet.
The two followed Huang Yan into the palace and naturally had some joy when they saw Huang Xue. After talking about the old days, Huang Xue told them that he would leave Chaoge for Xiqi in the near future, and now that there are monsters rampant near Chaoge City, he asked the two to guard them.
When the three of them heard that Huang Xue was going to Xiqi as a queen, they were all taken aback, and hurriedly asked Huang Xue what he was going to Xiqi for.
Guarding Ji Chang is naturally a matter of strict secrecy, Tianhua and Chanyu are people in the teaching, so it is naturally not easy to talk to them about this matter. was questioned again and again, Huang Xue could only deduce that the king of Shang had a secret decree, and it was inconvenient to tell him, so he could be regarded as blocking the mouths of the three of them.
Tianhua's father Huang Feihu is the king of Wucheng in the dynasty, and Chanyu's father Deng Jiugong is the Taishou of Sanshan Pass, the two of them are the children of the court officials, and it is impossible for them to ignore the safety of the court song in public and private, but they are trustworthy.
Moreover, their cultivation is not low now, ordinary monsters are not their opponents at all, with the two of them here, Chao Ge insists until Wen Zhong returns, there should be no difficulty.
It's a pity that the two of them are under the Yuxu Sect, otherwise it would be a better choice for them to accompany them on a trip and let the evil guard the Chaoge.
Huang Xue led the two to see the king of Shang, and the king of Shang was also overjoyed when he saw the two.
Tianhua already had the title of palace guard, and the king of Shang issued an order to promote him to the deputy commander of the palace guard, temporarily guarding the palace on behalf of evil.
As for Chanyu, because she is a daughter, she can't be crowned an official, but she also temporarily received the waist card of the palace guard, as long as she does this errand, presumably the credit will fall to her father Deng Jiugong.
In this way, the things in the song were finally arranged, and Huang Xue could finally relax and walk with Ji Chang.
Ji Chang was naturally shocked when he learned that Huang Xue and Ziya were going to go to Xiqi with him, and the holy decree turned out to be inspecting Xiqi on behalf of the king.
Ziya is just going back, but Huang Xue is the real queen, and the queen and the king inspect the territory, which is an unprecedented thing, so he can't figure it out anyway. But now that the decree has been issued, the matter is already a certainty, and there is no intention of discussing it with him at all, so he has to tremble and receive the decree.
On the second day of February in the thirteenth year of Emperor Xin, it is the annual spring ploughing festival, which is commonly known as the dragon raising its head, and it is suitable to open the market, make an alliance, travel, and break ground, and it is not suitable to build a house, marry, and bury.
On this day, Zhou Wen Wang Jichang finally ended his four-year house arrest and was ordered to return to Xiqi. The king of Shang also gave Ji Chang enough face, personally took hundreds of officials to send Ji Chang out of Chaoge City, and personally sent the doctor Jiang Ziya and the general evil to lead a thousand forbidden troops to escort him.
Huang Xue because of her special status, it is naturally impossible to set off with everyone, she said goodbye to the king of Shang before dawn, took the dragon beard and tiger out of the west gate of Chaoge City, and waited for the arrival of Ji Chang and his party outside the Shili Pavilion.
However, after waiting for more than an hour, Ji Chang and the others had already arrived, and when everyone saw the salute, they didn't say much, and rushed all the way to the west.
It has been seven years since Huang Xue came to Dashang, and the traffic situation has not improved much, and he mainly has to rely on his legs to get there. It's not that there are no horses, it's not that there are no cars, the main thing is that there are no good roads, and the so-called official road is the level of the dirt road in the village of the later generations, which is really helpless.
However, Zigan once said that he wanted to use bricks to pave an official road from Chaoge to Caozhou in the future, and if it could really be realized, it would be regarded as a highway in this era.
Of course, at the level of Ji Chang or Huang Xue, you can actually take a sedan chair when you are in a hurry, and when Ji Chang comes to the court, he comes by sedan chair.
But now the situation is different, if you sit in a sedan chair, it is obvious that Ji Chang is sleeping, and the poisonous eight achievements of the soul that you have finally suppressed are serious again, so Huang Xue is resolutely opposed to sitting in a sedan chair, and she has to walk with her legs.
She is the queen, she is walking next to her, and Ji Chang is of course not good at sleeping on the sedan chair, so he has no choice but to walk with the team.
But in this way, the speed of rushing has been greatly delayed, Ji Chang is not young, and his health has not been good recently, his walking speed is very slow, and once he fell down while walking and fell asleep directly.
After all, he still has the poison of dispersing the soul, and walking can't make his spirit excited, so it naturally doesn't help to resist drowsiness.
So, after discussing with Ziya, Huang Xue slowed down the speed of her journey, and only walked for three hours a day, and stopped to camp and rest as soon as Shen Shi passed, and accompanied Ji Chang to play mahjong, of course, nominally, it was natural to let Ji Chang and others accompany her to play mahjong.
Ji Chang is now addicted to cards, so he naturally has no opinion on this, the way back to Xiqi is far away, and there is no urgency, it is also a pleasure to be able to travel so leisurely.
At present, among the people in the group, the ones who can make up a table of mahjong are naturally Huang Xue, Ji Chang, Ziya and Evil Lai.
Don't look at the evil to be a military general, but his father Fei Lian is the first group of people to contact mahjong, very old, and Fei Lian often goes to Wu Chengwang to play cards, and the evil will often follow, and it happens that Huang Yan is also very interested in mahjong, so the evil is now a senior card friend, just follow Huang Xue to make up the game.
Evil to play mahjong, not to mention the good or bad technology, the main thing is that the voice is loud, the voice of "eating, touching, bar" shouts, like a thunderbolt, cold not such a voice, sometimes scared that people can fall to the ground.
And his cards are not very smart, winning the card will be triumphant, losing the card on the mess, sometimes playing the wrong card will suddenly draw their face, it is really quite a test of the psychological quality of the card friend. Speaking of which, King Wucheng also has this problem, which seems to be a common problem of military generals, but it is not as serious as him.
At the beginning, Huang Xue also had a lot of opinions about him, and wanted to reprimand him several times.
But later she found out that his startling routine was really refreshing, and after a card was played, Ji Chang wouldn't even doze off. So, she didn't say more, and even sometimes said a few words in cooperation with the evil to make him even happier.
Another thing worth mentioning is the amount of food from Evil Lai and Dragon Whisker Tiger.
It is rumored that a cow can be eaten in a bad meal, which must be an exaggeration, but there are more than 40 catties of meat a day.
Coincidentally, Long Xuhu is also an authentic foodie, and it is not much better than evil, often everyone else has finished eating, and the two of Long Xuhu and Evil are still eating there non-stop, for this reason, it is indeed not easy for the grain collectors along the road to mix.
But fortunately, now the big business is developing well, and the villages and towns along the road are also rich, and Jizi has also allocated a lot of military funds to this team, so that everyone has not been poor.
