This road is all official roads, if the time is right, you can rest in the post station at night.

However, when Qin Zheng went out on business before, he never pinched the time, and in order to shorten the time on the road, it was common to eat and sleep in the open.

But this time with Gu Jiu by his side, he couldn't do it. At least try to make the little girl's life as comfortable as possible while ensuring the speed.

Gu Jiu didn't know his plans, in her previous life and this life, she went out of Beijing for the first time, and now even if she is very sleepy, she doesn't want to sleep, she only opens the curtains and lies on her stomach to look at the scenery outside.

However, there was really nothing to see on the official road, but after a quarter of an hour, she had tilted her head, and fell asleep on the car window.

Seeing this, Qin Zheng couldn't help but smile, touched her head lovingly, and hugged her in his arms to make her sleep more comfortable.

……

For the next few days, they were all on the road.

At first, you could catch up with the post station at night, but later, you had to stay in the carriage.

Qin Zheng felt a little guilty in his heart, but Gu Jiu didn't care, and even asked Qin Zheng with great interest when the people gathered around to make a fire to roast steamed buns: "Husband, didn't you tell me before that the hare is very delicious, and you might catch it here?" ”

The little girl's face was full of excitement, and Qin Zheng, who was looking at it, was extremely helpless, pinched her eyebrows, rubbed her head, and interrupted her fantasy: "Unless you climb halfway up the mountain, you won't see a hare here." ”

This is next to the official road, sparsely populated, and you can't even see people, where did the rabbit come from.

Hearing this, Gu Jiu was not disappointed, smelling the aroma of the food, and was a little eager to try: "Then I'll go with me to bake steamed buns, right?" ”

It's obviously an ordinary steamed bun, but after being roasted over a low fire at this moment, the tempting aroma makes people almost want to drool.

Seeing her like this, Qin Zheng couldn't help laughing, and before he could say anything, he heard Zheng Huailuo call them loudly: "My lord, let's eat some together!" ”

When they passed through the town during the day, they deliberately asked the store to cut two catties of beef, which was accompanied by roasted steamed buns and two sips of apricot blossom wine, and the fatigue of the whole day was swept away.

Qin Zheng didn't plan to go over, but when he saw the little girl's expression, he nodded again and took her over.

It's an early summer evening, and now it's a little cooler and more comfortable.

Everyone sat on the ground, and although the heat of the fire was a little scorching, it was blown away by the wind, and it was not uncomfortable to sit and eat.

Zheng Huailuo beckoned three or four guards to sit here, Gu Jiu glanced at it, but he didn't find Bai Wuyuan.

"What about Lord Bai, won't he come to eat?"

Gu Jiu asked in a low voice.

However, after asking, he heard Zheng Huailuo sneer and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law doesn't have to care about him, this Lord Bai doesn't like places with a lot of people." ”

Along the way, Gu Jiu saw it really, and there was very little communication between them. If it weren't for the need to escort the official bank together, I'm afraid Zheng Huailuo wouldn't even be happy to go with this person.

Although she didn't know why, she knew that it was inappropriate to ask again when she heard this, so she nodded and changed the topic: "I smelled the fragrance in the carriage just now, and your steamed bun is roasted." ”

Hearing her praise her craftsmanship, Zheng Huailuo's smile instantly became a little more sincere, and he smiled hesitantly: "Sister-in-law, I'm not blowing to you, when it comes to survival skills in the wild, I dare to say second, even the adults in my family dare not say first." ”

Although he is not very old, he can stay in Dali Temple for a long time, don't look at him with a baby face, but if anyone looks down on him because of this, it would be a big mistake.

Hearing this, Gu Jiu's smile became a little more and more, and he nodded: "Then I definitely want to taste it." ”

Who knew that before she finished speaking, she saw Qin Zheng directly take away the baked steamed bun in her hand, and she took a new steamed bun and put it on the fire rack.

The food that had not yet reached his mouth grew wings and flew, Gu Jiu was stunned for a while, and when he saw Qin Zheng's series of natural actions, he asked in surprise: "What are you doing here?" ”

It's good, why did you snatch food from her mouth?

Regarding Gu Jiu's words, Qin Zheng responded seriously: "You have been on fire recently, don't eat spicy, I'll help you roast one again." ”

However, what he said was very similar to that, but Zheng Huailuo, who was not young with Qin Zheng's side, saw it clearly.

"I said, my lord, your heart is too small, it's just a bite to eat......"

It's just that before he finished speaking, he received Qin Zheng's death gaze.

This gaze was extremely terrifying, at least Zheng Huailuo didn't dare to say anything else, he retracted his head obediently, and then put away his gaze, and said with a flattering smile: "My lord, please, please." ”

He was afraid of Qin Zheng in the end, and now he was very obedient and admitted, but he was glanced at by the other party, and said lightly: "Eat yours." ”

Qin Zheng was very faint when he spoke, but if he looked closely, he would find that his ears were a little red.

For the first time in his life, Qin Zheng wanted to be faced, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.

It's a pity that this night is covered up very well, so neither Gu Jiu nor Zheng Huailuo can see it.

After they had eaten and drunk to their heart's content, they sat down and talked for a while before they went back to their carriages to rest.

When Gu Jiu followed Qin Zheng back, he happened to see Bai Wuyuan get out of the carriage.

Looking at each other, Bai Wuyuan nodded first: "Lord Qin, Mrs. Qin." ”

Hearing this, Qin Zheng's head was right, and Gu Jiu also hurriedly agreed: "Lord Bai." ”

Rao had been watching it for the past few days, but every time he saw Bai Wuyuan's appearance, Gu Jiu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

How can life be like this...... Like the unity of gods and demons, demagoguery.

His daughter-in-law's eyes were on other men, which made Qin Zheng feel very uncomfortable.

Therefore, as if he was enclosing the territory, he directly pulled the little girl to his side, and said lightly: "It's not early, Lord Bai should rest early." ”

His action was too obvious, the corners of Bai Wuyuan's lips hooked slightly, and he nodded in response: "My lord, please." ”

Hearing this, Qin Zheng nodded casually, pulled Gu Jiu and wanted to go back.

Who knows, but was stopped by Bai Wuyuan: "By the way, if it's convenient for adults tomorrow, can you talk about it?" ”

He didn't ask now, because it was just boring for himself. But tomorrow will be different, the long road is boring, and the best thing to do is to have fun.

When he said this, the smile on Bai Wuyuan's lips remained the same, but the depth in his eyes made people feel a little unsure.

Qin Zheng didn't care, just glanced at Bai Wuyuan's expression, and nodded extraordinarily casually: "Yes." ”

When he was an outsider, Qin Zheng became the Dali Siqing who cherished words like gold.

After getting Qin Zheng's reply, Bai Wuyuan smiled lightly, made a gesture, and said, "It's not too early, my lord, please." ”

Fang was stopped, and few people saw it, and even the conversation at this moment was only a few words, and no one could hear anything.

It was only after Qin Zheng got into the carriage that Bai Wuyuan retracted the smile on his lips, and his eyebrows and eyes were a little more indifferent.

Those vivid expressions, as if they had been pasted, disappeared with a light pull.

Only this indifferent appearance to the appearance of an ancient well is his truest expression.

……

On the second day, Qin Zheng really went to Bai Wuyuan's carriage to chat, and no one else knew what the two said. But since that day, there have been a few fewer people in the convoy.

Gu Jiu still discovered it by accident, but he didn't ask obediently, and only focused his energy on the range that he could touch.

On the fifth day, the group abandoned the car and took the boat, and the tedious journey finally had some other pleasures.

Although Gu Jiu has never been on a boat, it is rare not to get seasick, and when he travels on the waterway, he is very happy to stand outside the cabin and watch the excitement.

On the contrary, Zheng Huailuo, who was alive and kicking up before, was now deflated, vomited darkly, and the little bit of energy he had left was used to lie down in the room to recuperate.

In such a situation, he didn't have any other strength to target Bai Wuyuan, and it was rare to be honest.

Qin Zheng was very happy about this, and casually threw him a bottle of antiemetic medicine. On the contrary, Gu Jiu had compassion, and by stopping the boat on the road, he asked people to buy a few herbs, and according to the method that the master said before, he made some pills for Zheng Huailuo, and after he ate it, he felt a lot better.

On this day, Gu Jiu was looking at the scenery outside the cabin, but she might as well hear the footsteps behind her, she glanced back, and when she saw the person coming, she nodded and saluted: "Lord Bai." ”

Hearing this, Bai Wuyuan curled his lips slightly and said with a faint smile: "Madam Qin's interest is not bad. ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiu shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm just an idler, just to pass the time." ”

When there were only the two of them, Gu Jiu paid great attention when he spoke, and the distance between him and Bai Wuyuan was also deliberately separated.

In fact, after getting along all these days, Bai Wuyuan has never had bad intentions towards Gu Jiu, but I don't know why, Gu Jiu always feels that this person is a little wise and close to a demon.

She thinks that her brain is not enough, so when facing this kind of person, she always subconsciously wants to hide a little farther, for fear that she will be calculated by accident.

Bai Wuyuan could naturally see Gu Jiu's defense, the smile on his lips remained unchanged, but he didn't say anything else, just said, "Now that I have traveled to Luoshui, can my wife know the allusions here?" ”

Hearing him mention this, Gu Jiu thought about it, but shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know, I want to hear about it." ”

She actually knew one, but it was a love story, so it was naturally not suitable to tell Bai Wuyuan.

Bai Wuyuan smiled faintly and said: "According to legend, in ancient times, there were dragons and tigers fighting on the riverbank, disturbing the world and the restlessness, and the people complained bitterly. The Emperor of Heaven was furious and sent the gods to come here with a sharp blade to behead the dragon head and town the tiger, and after that, this area was finally peaceful. ”

Gu Jiu really hadn't heard of this story, so he asked with a surprised smile: "This story is interesting, but the legend of Zhiwei is not credible." ”

Hearing this, Bai Wuyuan chuckled, his expression was full of indifference, and he pointed to the distance and said with a smile: "Madam Qin can look in that direction, like a dragon with his head bowed and drinking?" ”

From the direction he pointed, it winded for dozens of miles, and from a distance, it didn't look like a dragon.

Gu Jiu became interested for a while, and nodded and smiled: "When my lord says this, it's really a bit similar." ”

As soon as she said this, she could smell the fragrance of Buddha behind her, and immediately turned around and smiled: "Husband." ”

Seeing Gu Jiu turn around, Qin Zheng's eyes melted with ice and snow, walked over and touched her head, and said softly: "Stand back, beware of safety." ”

Hearing his words, Gu Jiu responded with a busy smile, but pointed to the dragon to show him: "Husband, look." ”

Qin Zheng glanced at the place she was pointing, and then chuckled: "It's really similar." ”

Gu Jiu saw that his thoughts were not on this, and he saw that the atmosphere of the two of them seemed to have something to say, and immediately said obediently: "The medicinal herbs I stewed should be almost ready, I'll go and take a look first." ”

Seeing her mother, Qin Zheng responded with a smile, and after she left, she restrained her smile and said lightly: "It's the first time I know that Lord Bai has such a good leisure and leisure, and he is willing to take the time to tell stories to his insiders." ”

There was a smell of gunpowder in these words, but Bai Wuyuan suddenly laughed: "Adults should know, I have no malicious intent." ”

Bai Wuyuan had already said this more than once, and Qin Zheng just looked at him and asked rhetorically, "So what?" ”

Bai Wuyuan pinched his eyebrows and said, "Fang Cai's story, did the adults hear it?" ”

Qin Zheng naturally heard it, and when he saw Bai Wuyuan standing with Gu Jiu, Qin Zheng listened for a while.

When I heard him say this, I just asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"The gods kill the dragon, and they still need the blades of the gods."

Bai Wuyuan only said a word, but he heard Qin Zheng sneer: "What, do you think Qin someone is very suitable for being a knife?" ”

"Nope."

Bai Wuyuan restrained his smile and said, "Bai Wuyuan is willing to use a sharp blade in the hands of adults, I don't know if you dare to use it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Zheng sneered and asked, "Why do you think that I have to use you?" ”

"Because adults don't have a choice."

When Bai Wuyuan said this, his expression was full of arrogance: "Except for me, there is no one who is suitable. ”

In terms of talent and scheming, among the younger generation, there are indeed not many people who are smarter than Bai Wuyuan.

If it was before, Qin Zheng liked to cooperate with this kind of person very much.

Being smart is one thing, and even if there are dangerous factors, it will only make him feel more challenging.

However, since having Gu Jiu, Qin Zheng felt a lot more constrained.

Relatives are armor, but they are also weaknesses.

After a while, Qin Zheng said lightly: "Even without you, what I want to do will definitely be achieved." ”

Hearing Qin Zheng's words, Bai Wuyuan laughed: "In the eyes of adults, I am so unreliable? Bai also thought that after the previous incident, we at least had some tacit understanding. ”

Hearing this, Qin Zheng just glanced at him and said, "If there is nothing else, Lord Bai should go to the room to rest, after all, this waterway is not as good as a dry road, beware of not adapting." ”

That's what rejection means.

Bai Wuyuan sighed before he said, "If your lord changes his mind, he can come to me at any time." ”

When he said this, he thought about it and added: "Actually, you know very well what I am here for." As long as the merit can be obtained, I don't mind doing things for adults. ”

This time I came to the Yellow River area, ostensibly to allocate disaster relief money for the disaster caused by the collapse of the river embankment, but in fact this is only one of them.

Secondly, it is necessary to investigate the network of relationships that Mu Yuan, the governor of Hedong River, has woven during his three years in office, and to wipe out all of them.

And the most important thing is to find out whether the second prince is involved through this matter.

If it weren't for that, it would be just a disaster relief money, and Qin Zheng would not be needed for it.

As for Bai Wuyuan, the purpose of his coming was much simpler.

It is his duty to distribute the money, but it is useless to do it well.

However, if you can take this opportunity to accumulate merit, you can face promotion after returning to Beijing.

Therefore, Bai Wuyuan wanted to cooperate with Qin Zheng.

However, his credit value here with Qin Zheng is really outrageously low, so in the face of the olive branch he throws out, Qin Zheng not only did not accept it, but was also very vigilant.

This made Bai Wuyuan very distressed.

Seeing that the conversation collapsed again this time, Bai Wuyuan had already been prepared, and he was only lost for a moment before he smiled again: "The day after tomorrow, Lord Qin plans to take Madam Zun into the city so openly?" ”

Hearing this, the smile on Qin Zheng's lips remained unchanged, he just glanced at him and said, "Naturally." ”

Hearing this, Bai Wuyuan didn't know what he thought, and he rarely brought out a little ridicule: "Then, I wish you good luck." ”

Qin Zheng didn't know what he meant by this before, but looking at Bai Wuyuan's expression, he always felt that there was something in it that he didn't know.

However, he refused to cooperate with Bai Wuyuan, so naturally he couldn't pull his face to ask the other party at this time.

After all, this person is scheming, and I am afraid that most of the ten sentences have other purposes.

It's just that he didn't expect that the other party's words were really a reminder.

"The adults have come from afar, and they have worked hard all the way, and the lower officials have arranged a banquet in the Chunfeng Building in the city, and invited the three adults to go with them, so that the lower officials can pick up the wind and wash the dust for you."

The officials who came to greet him at the port were all smiling, and their attentive and enthusiastic appearance almost made Qin Zheng think that he had come to the wrong place.

Zheng Huailuo even whispered to Qin Zheng: "If they dare to change their clothes, they are no different from the girls in the Qinglou." ”

I just shouted in my mouth: "Uncle, why haven't you come to play for a long time!" ”

Hearing Zheng Huailuo's words, Bai Wuyuan on the side couldn't help laughing, Qin Zheng's face was as usual, and he just said lightly: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

He pushed Zheng Huailuo out to greet people, and he instructed Su Chen and Su Che: "Haosheng escorts Mrs. to the city station." ”

Gu Jiu is a female dependent, these people are all in the officialdom, and she is naturally not very suitable for the past. So when she was on the ship before, Qin Zheng arranged her in advance.

After Qin Zheng followed the officials to Chunfeng Tower, Gu Jiu was escorted by Su Chen and went to the post station to rest for a while.

It's just that Qin Zheng didn't expect that this reception banquet was secondary, but they got themselves a thing that hurt the morals!
