Chapter 222 [Tianbo City] (I)

In the first few days, because in the territory of Dakang, everyone was not too worried about safety, and the routes they chose were all official roads to the north, and the towns within 300 miles of Kangdu to the north were densely populated, and there were no thieves who robbed houses. Because there are still more than two months before March 16, so the journey does not need to be too rushed, except for the first day of departure from Kangdu after dark, every day is after dawn before embarking on the journey, not waiting for dusk to enter the city to rest, everyone's mood is very relaxed.

The samurai who was beaten by Hu Xiaotian on the first day had to stay in Kangdu to recuperate because of broken ribs, Hu Xiaotian's behavior directly led the group of samurai under Wen Boyuan to hate him with the same enemy, of course, there are exceptions, Zhanpeng will definitely not hate him, but they deliberately keep their distance, even if they pass by, they pretend not to know each other, and they can't let others know the relationship between the two of them for the time being.

Like Zhanpeng, there is also Zhou Mo lurking in the team, Zhou Mo blended into the camp of porters, ate and slept with those porters and stables, and belonged to the jurisdiction of Tang Tiehan and Tang Tiexin brothers. Although the Tang brothers had a grudge against Hu Xiaotian in the past, they had not had direct contact with Hu Xiaotian in the past two days.

Since Hu Xiaotian became powerful at the north gate of Kangdu because of his mother's affairs, he has become a lot more low-key, and he has been guarding Princess Anping most of the time, and he is planning his plans all the time. Plans are not as good as changes, and even the perfect plan needs to be acted on according to the actual situation.

In the blink of an eye, it has reached the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and according to their established itinerary, they can go to Tianbo City at noon today.

When they were still twenty miles away from Tianbo City, light snow began to fall in the sky, and the north wind howled, which affected their travel speed, and by the time Tianbo City was reached, it was already too late.

In the bitter cold wind, tiny snow particles kept lapping on the faces of passers-by. Hot pain, Hu Xiaotian rode on a horse, he had already taken off his eunuch costume and changed into a capable samurai uniform, wearing a black fur coat, his mouth and nose shrunk under a fluffy collar, and only a pair of eyes were exposed. The eyebrows and eyelashes are also covered with a layer of white, which looks quite funny. Although the demeanor is greatly reduced, this posture can maintain the temperature of the body to the greatest extent.

At this time, Wu Kui came to report, saying that Wu Jingshan had something to discuss with him, and Hu Xiaotian followed Wu Kui to the front of the team.

After Wu Jingshan left Kangdu, he hid in the carriage, his old arms and legs could not bear the bumps on the horse's back, Wen Boyuan had bright armor, and rode majestically on a black horse, although Hu Xiaotian did not want to see him from the bottom of his heart. But I have to admit that this guy is full of energy, pretending to be forced to a certain level, although the armor is majestic, it is not as warm as the cotton jacket fur.

Wen Boyuan didn't pay attention to Hu Xiaotian when he saw him coming, shook the reins, and galloped to the front of the team, obviously not wanting to talk to Hu Xiaotian to express his dissatisfaction with him. Hu Xiaotian scolded in his heart, what does it stink? Let's see how many more days you can bounce around.

Wu Jingshan lifted the curtain. His wrinkled face was revealed from the inside, and he said loudly: "Grandpa Hu." In front of us is Tianbo City, and we will rest in the city today. ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Okay! "Originally, the plan was like this, if it wasn't for the snowstorm on the way, they would have eaten a beautiful meal in Tianbo City at this time.

Wu Jingshan said again: "There will be fewer and fewer towns to the north of Tianbo City, and today is the Shangyuan Festival, and it has encountered a wind and snow." Why don't we adjust in Tianbo City for a day and set off early the day after tomorrow, how about Gong Hu's will? ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "What do you say about Lord Wu?" "Anyway, he is not in a hurry to catch up with Dayong, even if he can't catch up with Dayong in this life, it doesn't matter.

Wen Boyuan, who was at the front of the line, made a stop gesture because he saw a team speeding towards them in front of him. Wen Boyuan's gestures change. Immediately a horse galloped out of the team, immediately but Zhanpeng, Zhanpeng rode on a yellow horse, the posture is vigorous, the horse is like a dragon, like a yellow lightning shot to the opposite team, he was ordered to go to listen to the news, not long after, Zhanpeng returned to Wen Boyuan's side, hugged his fists and reported: "General Wen, the front is Tianbo City Taishou Wang Wenyou, specially out of the city to welcome Princess Anping." ”

Wen Boyuan's two sword eyebrows were twisted together, and he said coldly: "Didn't he already pass the order, the officials of the states and counties along the way were not allowed to mobilize the people, they just needed to quietly make arrangements for the reception, didn't he receive the order?" "When the princess gets married, she passes through the states and counties along the way, and the local officials will definitely not let go of this opportunity, there are not many opportunities to meet the royal relatives on weekdays, and anyway, the entertainment expenses are all public funds, and no one will feel distressed. They had taken this issue into account at the beginning of their departure, and in order to avoid causing too much of an impact, they had people go to the states and counties they passed through in advance to send an order, telling the magistrates that they only had to do a good job of hospitality, and that all the etiquette was waived, and that all activities such as welcoming the people and welcoming them along the streets were canceled. Everywhere they went a few days ago, the magistrates all strictly obeyed it, and when they arrived here today, Tianbo City Taishou Wang Wenyou actually led the crowd to greet them, obviously not taking their orders seriously.

In an instant, Tianbo City Warden Wang Wenyou had already come to the front of the family send-off team, he led his subordinates to turn over and dismount, knelt down on the snow together, and said loudly: "Tianbo City King Wenyou led his subordinate officials to welcome Princess Anping, the princess is a thousand years old. A group of people had obviously been rehearsed in advance, and their voices were loud in unison.

Wen Boyuan was about to have a seizure, but he heard a voice behind him: "Is it Wenyou?" It turned out that Wu Jingshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, got out of the carriage at this time and walked over with a smile.

Wang Wenyou said loudly: "Students see their teachers!" He turned out to be Wu Jingshan's protégé.

After learning about this relationship, Wen Boyuan immediately understood, no wonder Wang Wenyou dared to disobey the order and go out to greet him, but it was Wu Jingshan behind it, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart, Wu Jingshan, the old man, also had his own plans.

Hu Xiaotian also came over, looked at the officials happily and said, "What are you doing kneeling?" The princess said, let you be even. ”

Everyone looked at this guy at the same time, if he didn't speak, no one really noticed this guy, even if the word was passed on, it would take time to go back and forth, this thing was a fake order at all, and it was too blatant.

Wu Jingshan saw Wang Wenyou's stunned face, and hurriedly introduced him: "This is Gonggong Hu, the head of Zilan Palace, who is responsible for taking care of Her Royal Highness the princess's diet and daily life along the way. ”

Hu Xiaotian scolded in his heart, I damn it! Old thief Wu, old thief Wu, you are openly burying me, it is true that I am the head of Zilan Palace, but I am also a deputy marriage history this time, right? How do you avoid the heavy? For fear that others won't know that I am a eunuch, Lao Tzu is not only responsible for taking care of the princess's diet and daily life along the way, Lao Tzu is still in control of the financial power of this envoy, and Lao Tzu has written down this account.

Wang Wenyou's reaction was greatly beyond everyone's expectations, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness Princess, thank you, Lord Hu." He motioned for all his subordinates to stand up, stepped forward and gave Hu Xiaotian a deep look and said, "Xiaguan has admired Lord Hu's demeanor for a long time, and it really deserves its reputation when I see it today." ”

Hu Xiaotian didn't expect that this thing would shoot his ass in front of so many people, and he was a little dizzy by this shot, not the kind of faint faintness, but a kind of faintness that couldn't figure out the situation, I really couldn't remember what friendship he had with this Wang Wenyou, he actually showed favor to himself in public.

Wu Jingshan's face was not good-looking, he originally thought that Wang Wenyou was coming to greet him, but he didn't expect that the sudden change in the direction of the wind would make Hu Xiaotian's ass.

Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "Lord Wang has won the award, and it is really grand that such a big snowstorm will trouble you to come out of the city." ”

Wang Wenyou said: "Lord Hu escorted the princess to come, and the lower official, as a magistrate, naturally wants to do the friendship of the landlord." He turned around and gave the order to let the two hundred cavalry who followed him lead the way, while he accompanied Hu Xiaotian and walked along.

Wen Boyuan didn't feel anything when he encountered the other party's cold encounter, Wu Jingshan's old face was really a little unbearable, Wang Wenyou was his protégé after all, in fact, the so-called protégé was just the year when Wang Wenyou took the exam, Wu Jingshan happened to be the chief examiner of that issue, to be honest, he didn't have any help to Wang Wenyou, and he also received a lot of silver from Wang Wenyou. Wu Jingshan slipped into the carriage in a gloomy way, this depression in his heart, Wang Wenyou, Wang Wenyou, you didn't come to me for a long time, you actually dared to shake the old man!

Wang Wenyou and Hu Xiaotian walked in the team, Wang Wenyou smiled and handed Hu Xiaotian a letter, Hu Xiaotian took it, but it was Ji Feihua's handwriting, and then he understood in his heart that this Wang Wenyou was one of Ji Feihua's camps, and the battle in front of him all benefited from Ji Feihua's prior arrangement.

After reading the letter, Hu Xiaotian quietly returned it to Wang Wenyou, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, the matter of the princess's entry into the city should not be publicized. ”

Wang Wenyou said: "Lord Hu, rest assured, the lower officials have made proper arrangements and ordered their officials at all levels to strictly keep secrets. ”

Hu Xiaotian nodded.

Wang Wenyou said: "I asked people to clean up all the Bibo Palace and the post house, and where to stay is decided by Lord Hu." ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "It's still a post house, the princess has already said before that she doesn't want to stay in the palace." ”

Wang Wenyou nodded: "Okay!" ”

Dakang's Taishang Emperor Long Xuanen liked to travel the world when he was young, and built countless palaces, and the Bibo Palace was also one of them, originally as Princess Anping could be stationed in the palace along the way, Wu Jingshan and Wen Boyuan also built yì like this, but Princess Anping was resolutely unwilling to stay in the palace for some reason.

Hu Xiaotian understood Long Xiyue's thoughts, she didn't have any attachment to the palace, and the red bricks and green tiles there were only a cage for her. (To be continued......)
