561 Embark on the return journey
In the summer, the Tang Dynasty is full of lush leaves, red, red and green, and the warblers fly and the grass grows, which is a prosperous and thriving scene.
Early in the morning of May 26, Liu Yuan said goodbye to Xiao Niang, Du Sanniang and others, carrying the wolf blood knife and four private guards, a group of seven people, each with two good horses for transfer, when the Deming Gate opened, the group rode horses and whips, galloped away.
The road is far away, not to mention seven or eight days of travel, there may be emergencies on the road, plus such an important matter, you have to prepare a few days in advance, it really can't be delayed, Xiaoniang and Du Sanniang don't know how many times they urged, let Liu Yuan get on the road early, after the arrangements were made, Liu Yuan abandoned the car and rode a horse, and galloped in the direction of Qinghe.
In Qinghe, there is a rare woman in the world, silently preparing the dowry, leaning against the door, looking through the autumn water and waiting for her figure to appear.
Of course, this time Liu Yuan didn't bring Xiaoniang and Du Sanniang, after all, the woman who married the girl was the Qinghe Cui family, the head of the world's Shi clan, in the eyes of many scholars, he could marry the woman of the Cui family, or the only daughter of the Ministry of Works, that was already in the temple to burn high incense, walked and stepped on dog shit, and climbed high, if you bring two more beauties with you, it will be too faceless Qinghe Cui Shi, that is, Cui Mengyao doesn't mind, but Cui Jing's old boy's face is definitely not good-looking.
As for the justice that Du Sanniang wanted, Liu Yuan had asked Cui Shang to investigate and collect evidence on his behalf the next day, there is no fish in the world that does not eat cats, and no official's ass is clean, Cui Shang is in charge of the household department of the Tang Dynasty, and it is easy to transfer a person and touch a person's bottom, and Cui Shang, who is familiar with officialdom, told Liu Guo with certainty on the spot that the current Sizhou Thorn Shi is surnamed Wang. is a son of the Taiyuan Wang family, it is estimated that the Sima who did it was still pressed in that position and couldn't move.
Du Mingli?
Liu Yuan sneered, like this to Du Sanniang, you ask for more blessings, but it doesn't work to ask for more blessings, now Cui's is so strong, plus he has cooperated with Cui's on so many projects and made so much money. is in the honeymoon period, so it is natural to respond to his own needs, that is, aside from this layer, with the relationship between in-laws, this favor can also help. If your own people are not united, how can they be united with the outside world?
thought of Cui Mengyao's moving shadow. I thought that I was going back this time to hug the beauty. Liu Yuan's heart was hot, and the fatigue was swept away, he turned his head and waved his hand at a few of his subordinates: "Let's go, speed up the journey, and rest at the next post station." Keep an eye on the two jeweled horses. ”
"Yes, young master." Several of the guards immediately replied respectfully.
Since he went back, he naturally couldn't be empty-handed, and Liu Yuan was ready early. Let the Jin Yu family rush to make a batch of jewelry, specially used for the wedding, two large bags, carried by two horses.
Liu Yuan's long whip flicked, and there was a crisp sound of "pop", and the horse was taken aback, and immediately raised his hooves and galloped forward, the wild wolf and the bloody knife followed closely on the left and right, and the four guards behind followed behind with two horses carrying jewels, and for a while, a flying dust rose on the official road.
Just as Liu Yuan was hurrying on the official road, Chang'an's Deming Gate also became lively.
"General Li, you're here." Qin Qiong smiled and hugged her fists.
Li Jing touched his beautiful beard and said: "Hehe, I wait for a few people, and the appointment is naturally true to the word, or Brother Qin has the means, you and Brother Cheng are the first two to have a lot of money, and you will have to take care of it more in the future." ”
The five of them grabbed two places, Qin Qiong and Cheng Biting Jin saw the opportunity early, and they were also the first to cut flesh and bloodletting, and took the lead in selling the industry, while raising money everywhere, they sold it at the same time, and the last two were the first to raise money, and the beauty difference that managed the silver and entered the management was naturally occupied by Cheng Biting Jin and Qin Qiong, although they were a little unhappy, but Li Jing also had to admire their determination.
"Well said, well said."
On the other side, Old Demon King Cheng smiled and said to Yu Chi Jingde: "Brother Yu Chi, do you have a bone in your body, can you ride a horse?" Don't be pushy. ”
"Hmph" Wei Chi Jingde said dissatisfiedly: "Good Cheng Laohei, and dare to laugh at the old man, now the old man is old, but not yet stepped, I can pull the bow when I get on the horse, and I can shoot arrows when I get off the horse, when Lao Tzu rides a horse, your kid is still drinking milk, or let's compare." ”
Wei Chi Jingde said as he rolled up his sleeves, and it seemed that he was going to teach this open-mouthed demon king of the mixed world a lesson.
"Don't don't, Brother Wei Chi, the younger brother is joking, don't take it seriously, you are old and strong now, many young men can't compare." Old Demon King Cheng was in awe and awe of this veteran who was older than himself and had a higher rank than himself, so he naturally hurriedly begged for mercy.
Li Jing turned his head and asked Old Demon King Cheng, "Brother Cheng, where is General Niu?" ”
"Oh, Lao Niu has official business, he has set off first, and he will meet us in Qinghe."
Wei Chi Jingde suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the emperor also sent someone?" ”
"Be quiet, this matter is not publicized" Cheng Old Demon King said in a low voice: "The emperor attaches great importance to this wedding, because he couldn't get married smoothly last time, and Liu Yuan's kid is very eye-catching, so he naturally has to be extraordinarily generous, and the East Palace personally dispatched it." ”
The prince went to congratulate him in person?
People who don't know are surprised, this is a great favor, the Son of Heaven is the king of a country, nothing serious, that is to guard the country, can not be easily dispatched, now send the future prince to congratulate, it is also very grand, the current royal family, Qinghe Cui is too generous.
When a person is good to you, it is a good thing, because it may depend on you, when a person is good to you, it may also be a bad thing, that is he is paralyzing you, taking advantage of your unpreparedness, and then stabbing you hard, Li Er is an excellent representative of this aspect, I want to fight for the position of prince with the prince Li Jiancheng, the gift of the elder brother, respectful, humble, typical mouth called brother, pick up the guy in the hand, kill him with one move, once and for all.
No one knows whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, after all, the royal family and the scholar clan have just had a confrontation, and everyone is human spirit, so they just mention it slightly, so they avoid talking about it.
"Alright, let's go, there's still a long way to go." Qin Qiong said as she turned over and got on the horse.
"Hahaha, well, it's been a long time since I've ridden a horse with so many brothers, I'm really nostalgic, let's go, it's faster than that."
"Compare is compare. Ha Luha, Cheng Laohei, you just follow the old man and eat dust. ”
Several people turned over their horses, flicked their long whips, and rushed straight out of Deyangmen.
This team is even stronger, several generals, each with twenty or thirty personal guards to follow, a few people in one place, it becomes a team of more than 100, and the momentum is even huge. Passing merchants have backed down
With superb riding skills and the horses ridden, they are all high-quality horses, plus there is no burden of luggage and other things, Liu Yuan and his party are very fast. In less than three days, Zhengzhou is far away.
Horseback riding is very imposing. It's also very stylish. But there are also shortcomings, the summer weather is stuffy and hot, under the hot sun, at most an hour, people are not tired of horses are tired and panting, and they have to take a break when they say anything. Drink some water or something, especially Liu Yuan, in order not to look like a black charcoal head when he worships the church, he wears white sunscreen clothes all the way to cover himself tightly. It was stuffy and hot, and I didn't ride for long, and the clothes were wet with sweat, and it was just miserable.
"Xiaoyuan, tired, there is a food stall in Shuyin Village in front, stop to drink a bowl of water, eat something before hurrying, rest assured, we ride a horse faster than a car, and there is plenty of time." Seeing that Liu Yuan was a little dizzy, the wild wolf couldn't help but suggest.
"Okay, everyone go to the front to rest, eat and drink enough before hitting the road." Liu Yuan was indeed a little tired, and waved his hand to let everyone rest.
Riding a horse is really a drastic use, it seems to be easy, riding for a long time, it is very physically demanding, no wonder those nobles in later generations like to ride horses so much, dare to ride horses and have such benefits.
"Yes, young master."
"Great, brothers, do you smell it, it seems to smell mutton soup, just smelling it makes me hungry."
As soon as they heard that there was something to eat, they all became excited and hurriedly followed.
On the official road, there are post stations and reverse houses, for passing merchants to eat, rest, post stations and reverse houses only pick some prosperous places to open, so in some remote places, there are also some small food stalls, providing some food and the like, this small food stall in front of you is one of them.
A large cloth to cover the sun, four or five low-legged tables, each table with a few maza, behind the pot set up, put the cage of steamed buns, and then some meat and vegetables and other sundries, a middle-aged couple, both the boss and the cook, a simple food stall is completed.
"A few guest officers, please take a seat, it's really hard to be in a hurry on this hot day, sit for a while, eat a bowl of hot soup, rest for a while and then hurry." As soon as the middle-aged man saw the guests, he hurriedly came out to greet them, and greeted him warmly while helping to tie the horse.
Although he rode a horse, he did not sit in a car, and he did not have official uniforms, but he had an extraordinary temperament, not to mention one person and two horses, the horses were all first-class horses, and the clothes on his body were also high-quality silk.
"Shopkeeper, what do you have to eat?" Liu Yuan sat down and asked casually.
The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the millet porridge boiled out of the old fire is fragrant and thick, there are all kinds of noodle soup, Hu cakes, spring rolls, steamed buns, there is delicious haggis soup in the pot, in addition to two hares and half a fragrant roe deer sent by the hunter, the guest officer wants to eat, and he can make it immediately." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly explained: "Don't dare to lie to this son, the mutton and fragrant roe deer are all fresh, but the Hu cake was made in the morning, and now I'm afraid it's not crispy enough." ”
This business is still done sincerely, it is estimated that seeing Liu Yuan's subordinates, all five big and three coarse, the evil spirit is exposed, and this middle-aged man does not dare to do anything to deceive.
Liu Yuan looked at the sun, the sun was empty, for a moment and a half, even if he was in a hurry, he would suffer from it, so he would take a good rest for a while, so he nodded and said: "Each person will have a bowl of mutton soup first, and then cut ten catties of roe deer meat, what else is delicious, look at it, rest assured, the silver will not lack you half a point." ”
"Where, Childe, wait a minute, I'll be right away." The middle-aged man seemed to be a big customer, and his face was smiling. (To be continued......)
