Taking advantage of the fact that Long Xiangwei's people had just come to report and had not yet set off, she asked Geng Guang to take people back first.

Among the thirty-eight people led by Geng Guang, there is a man named Chen Xiaotian, who is a local head snake who is proficient in all kinds of fun, what are the good places to go in Tianjing, but if it is fun, delicious and good-looking, even in the most corners, he can find it for you, Wen Zhen sent him a task.

Before he set off, he formed a friendly and mutually supportive relationship with Wen Shaocheng, who had just entered Long Xiangwei and was looked down upon and a little lonely because of the back door, so that he could feel the warmth from his new colleagues and the prosperity and fun of Tianjing in an all-round way.

Long Xiangwei is mostly from a rich family, and there are many people who can play. But this Chen Xiaotian can play tricks and be different. Wen Zhen took care of him, don't take Wen Shaocheng to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and don't have to get together for gambling scenes, but don't take him to get involved if he doesn't sound like a proper play.

Take him only to those elegant, beneficial, but very expensive and expensive amusements that pay attention to seniority and style, until he is completely addicted to it.

Chen Xiaotian comprehended, and sure enough, he quickly had a hot fight with Wen Shaocheng, and the places he took him to were all high-end private places that the children of the Tianjing nobles could only enter by their status, and the fun was also Keju, polo, water polo, hole ball, and the crystal brand play used by the children of the Tianjing nobles to test their counting ability, etc.

Needless to say, Keju polo, water polo is a bit like a water game, hole ball is a bit like modern golf, and crystal brand play is a bit like a chess and card style.

Long Xiangwei's income is not low, but those places to play, just a qualification to enter the door costs a lot, not to mention the cost of the play itself, and since you have entered that circle, you will have to improve your outfit, entertainment, banquets and other expenses.

Quite simply, polo needs good horses, right? Need to put on a good harness, right? It is worn out and needs to be replaced frequently, right? People have replaced the gold-inlaid enamel horse pole, you can't use a wooden stick, right? You have to eat and drink after playing polo, right? People invite you to have a snack, you can't help but go back, right? People's dim sum is the secret puff pastry cake made by the rivers and lakes, you can't return the pig's head meat sandwich bun from Wang Ermazi's family in West Hutong, right?

That's all, ten Long Xiang Wei Yulu is not enough.

The Wen family has a lot of houses, and Wen Shaocheng's father is not out of office, leading the silver allocated by the clan to live, and the silver is not as much as Wen Zhen takes - so far the Wen family is still sending Wen Zhen a sum of silver every year, which is the body of the Wen family's ancestor to Wen Zhen, the last apprentice.

With Mrs. Wen's character, she will not take her own silver stickers, and she will definitely ask for her own prince's favorite concubine.

Wen Liangyuan will soon be worried about money.

But worrying about money is only the first step, and what Wen Zhen wants is not just to make Wen Jin worry about money.

Take her time, she is very confident in Wen Shaocheng's ability to do things.

Wen Zhen knows that he still has enemies, hidden in the shadows, but because he never shows his head, he arranges a different game every time, and pries different people against her, which leads to the inability to target and counterattack in a targeted manner, but no matter how dense the game, there are always clues, and he can always wait for it.

A little more time, she stepped up her martial arts training, the needle has been turned into four, basically in adversity and danger were smashed and re-transformed, after all, she is not good at practicing martial arts, she started too late, and it is a little difficult to rely on her own ability to refine, which also makes her not very motivated to find people behind the scenes - she needs extreme stimulation and danger to break the needle, and there are all kinds of twists and turns when there are enemies, but this indulgence itself is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life, only try to improve your ability, Only by dealing with all kinds of accidents can there be more room for manoeuvre.

During this time, she went to see Qi Yunshen, the last time she saw her was after returning from Wuhai, when Qi Yunshen sniffed left and right on her, and she didn't know what she smelled, she was very interested, and specially promised her to think about how to refine her needle as soon as possible. This time, Qi Yunshen was much more indifferent, and he didn't have the excitement of the last time, so he only threw her a booklet, saying that he didn't find a way to refine it as soon as possible, but he thought of a way to prevent the fragments from scurrying around after the broken needle and even retrograde into the brain.

This is very important to Wen Zhen, she has lost her sense of taste, although she has recovered a little recently, but it is still much worse than before, and that's fine, but the next time she breaks the needle, if it goes retrograde into the brain and hurts the key point, it will be terrible.

But Qi Yunshen's method she did not dare to use casually, she had to wait for time to study with Yan Sui, Yan Sui was actively willing to go to Changchuan this time, she listened to Chinese, it was Dongtang Chuandi in ancient times belonged to the barbaric miasma land, many mountains, many strange flowers and plants, many strange legends, many evil magic, and the Changchuan Yi family because of genetic diseases, collecting these things is the most diligent, Yan Sui has long wanted to go to see if she can find a way to help solve her problem.

The emperor was very attentive to Changchuan, and specially transferred a group of people from Tianji Fuzhong, who would start from Jianzhou, which was far away from Changchuan, and would probably not be able to meet until it was about to reach Changchuan.

All affairs are ready to be arranged, and another month has passed with busyness.

On the third day of the first month of November, the prince's chariot and assassination team headed for Changchuan, as well as 3,000 Gong Wei troops, marched out of Tianjing.

At that time, it was early winter, and the road was short for more than a month, and long for two months, and when it arrived in Changchuan, it was winter.

Therefore, everyone's outfits are very thick, but Yan Sui is still fluttering, this person doesn't seem to be invaded by the cold and heat, and he will always be in a bag.

Wen Zhen is fully armed, and until she enters Changchuan, it is likely that there will be no peaceful days, and she has to be prepared for everything.

With these many people, from Tianjing to Changchuan, you can only take the official road by land, passing through Dingzhou, Huizhou, Chizhou, and then passing through the territory of Xichuan to Changchuan. You can also not go from Xichuan, you can also go to Suizhou, it is very close to it, but the road there is not very easy to walk, the only shortcut is to go through the mountains, not suitable for large troops to walk.

Flags fluttered on the official road, the team could not see the end at a glance, and the local government sent troops to escort them along the way, so it was said that the road should be safe.

But Wen Zhen was always uneasy in his heart. She brought two maids with her on this trip, both of whom were former embroiderers. One is Caisang, and the other is Caiyun. That Caiyun is also carefully selected, and he is very cautious and careful.

For safety, she, Yan Sui, Lin Feibai, Li Yishu, and Yi Renli opened a small stove alone, and all the ingredients were brought by Wen Zhen himself, and when they ran out, they looked for reliable people along the road to buy, and Wen Zhen took the two maids to take charge of the spoon himself.

Li Yishu Yiren was overjoyed, Lin Feibai felt that this was too hard, and Yan Sui was very dissatisfied with this - why did he have to share it with those two to eat?

After enduring it for two days, on the third night, he couldn't bear to drag Wen Zhen to a hill behind the location of the tip.

The mountain is not steep, the mountain is gentle, at this time it is not yet completely winter, the mountain is rich, the Chinese, German, English and Japanese that followed Yan Sui have already hunted, caught the fish, picked the most delicious fruits and mountain mushrooms that can be eaten in the whole mountain, and even picked up enough firewood to burn for a day and a night, full of a posture for preparing a large picnic.

Wen Zhen sighed, and had to ask Caisang Caiyun to help. She walked around the piles of prey and found that there was a tiger in it.

Poor mountain overlord.

As soon as Yan Bawang came, the whole mountain suffered.

The tiger meat was not delicious, Wen Zhenming took the tiger bone to soak the wine, and let the Chinese skin the tiger, ready to turn back and make a tiger skin hurdle vest for Yan Sui.

There are also some mushrooms, which look very delicious, Wen Zhen squatted down and rummaged through for a while, pulled out a bunch of light cyan mountain mushrooms, and said with a smile: "This thing can't be eaten." ”

The language guards came over and asked what was wrong, the mushroom didn't look showy, it was normal. Wen Zhen shook her head, she had seen the introduction of this thing in the Wenjia Poison Sutra, it was indeed poisonous, the toxicity was not violent, after eating it, she was a little dizzy, vomiting and diarrhea, it looked like a relatively ordinary food poisoning, but if it was solved according to ordinary food poisoning, this thing would exert a second layer of poison every few hours, and that poison was easy to hallucinate and make people do all kinds of strange behaviors.

What's even more terrifying is that the gas breathed and the saliva spit out by the person after poisoning can also poison the people next to him, which is extremely contagious. And the time of attack is indefinite, and it will become an untimely time bomb ambushed in the body.

When the language guards heard her say this, they hurriedly threw the mushroom. Wen Zhen asked again if there were many of these things, this thing should have been born in the hot and humid south, and it was strange to find it here.

The Chinese road also found these flowers, or found them deeper inside, and there was no one outside. I picked it because it looked so tender.

Wen Zhen asked people to search the mountain to see if there was any such thing, and sent people down the mountain to take care of the guards The chefs could not take random materials to cook, and soon the guards reported that the food of the guards was all food reserves, and they never took local materials, and the people who went to search the mountains to find this mushroom also found nothing, which can be seen that it is indeed a rare exception, Wen Zhen put his mind at ease, and chose a few fish that are very fat at a glance, a wild duck, a wild thing called a sipping chicken, a fat stone frog, also called a stone chicken, famous for its delicious chicken, a few turtledoves, A bunch of small crabs, a couple of wrist-thick eels, a hare.

These are all kinds of wild meat that are famous for their beauty, and she originally wanted to choose a little more, after all, there are many guards and maids, but Yan Sui said that it was enough, and when the guards and maids put all the ingredients in place, His Royal Highness flicked his fingers, and everyone disappeared with drool.

Wen Zhen rolled his eyes, and was very disdainful of His Highness's stinginess and food protection.

But thinking that he was going out in a hurry these days, it was impossible to enjoy it as much as in the house, and this delicate and expensive guy was inevitably unhappy, so he always had to give people a little sweetness.

She always brings pots and pans when she goes out, all of which are specially made light and portable styles, and immediately takes only the fat thighs of the stone frog and stir-fry them with wild vegetables; Wild duck, pheasant and turtle doves are stewed in a pot with lemongrass mushrooms, crabs are dragged in half with noodles and fried in a pan, eel is cut into sections and braised, and the rest of the fish and hares are grilled. Wen Zhen's sense of taste has been impaired, and now his cooking habits are thick oil red sauce, which has a strong taste.

Yi Renli thought that he had "lived in the Wen family for a long time and was good at cooking", so he had to come over to give Wen Zhen a hand, and in the process of doing it, he peeled two heads of garlic, pulled out three green onions, and ate a bowl of stewed meat, ten stone frog legs, eight small crabs, and a big eel...... Before the feast started, I was already full, and I went to eat with my stomach.

It was getting late, the bonfires in the mountains were beeping, and looking down from the flat hillside, there were torches dotted among the tents of the three thousand guards, looking like stars falling into the world.

The fragrance spreads fragrantly, and the branches of the whole hill shake and sway, and there seem to be countless creatures smelling and moving.

But no one came close, and the guards were drooling as they stood guard.

Suddenly, a shout came, and Wen Zhen looked at it, and Li Yishu was running up the mountain with a box. Before he got to the ground, he was stopped by Japanese, who rolled his eyes and said in a rough voice, "Lord Li, my Royal Highness and Lord Wen are discussing the affairs of the imperial court, please don't disturb!" ”

"I also have important affairs in the imperial court-" Li Yishu slapped the box loudly, "Tianjing is urgent, I want to report to His Highness immediately in person!" ”

Japanese looked at it hesitantly, and Yan Sui slowly filled Wen Zhen with a bowl of soup, "Tell him to get out." ”

"It's really urgent! Eight hundred miles expedited—"

"Let Master Li come in, in case there's really something urgent." Wen Zhen couldn't help it.

"." Yan Sui didn't raise his head, "I just want a piece of the pie." ”

"Don't do that." Wen Zhen smiled, "We have more opportunities to eat together, but it's not good to make mistakes." Besides, he has something urgent to go around, can you eat well? Didn't I do it for nothing if you couldn't eat well? ”

The last two sentences smoothed His Highness's hair, and His Highness laughed, just forget it if you don't believe it, don't speak.

Japanese got out of the way, Li Yishu rushed over, sniffed next to the fire, sighed that it was not righteous enough, put the box in his arms under his buttocks, grabbed the stone frog and started eating.

Wen Zhen: "......"

What about expedited paperwork?

"Urgent paperwork, I'm afraid it will affect my appetite, I'll talk about it after eating, and I'll talk about it after eating." Li Yishu had already eaten half of the stone chicken in the blink of an eye.

Wen Zhen: I believe in your evil.

After eating a few bites, Lin Feibai came with a sword on his back, and the Japanese still blocked him, and Lin Feibai's words were like knives.

"My job is to protect the three of them, how can I not do it?"

"You can protect the three of us from a stone's throw away." Yan Sui loaded several crabs for himself and picked up the stewed turtle dove.

Wen Zhen stood up with a smile and comforted His Highness, "Forget it, isn't it the same if there is one more person or two people?" Otherwise, you see that Lin Feibai is really going to practice archery! ”

The two of them turned their heads and looked, yo, Lin Feibai was really slowly taking off the big bow behind him, and it seemed that he was going to practice his arrows against the fire here.

Give him practice, and don't eat this meal.

Yan Sui didn't speak, and circled all the things she liked and Wen Zhen liked on the table, only to see Wen Zhen pull Lin Feibai over. Lin Feibai stood by the fire, didn't sit down, didn't look at Yan Sui, and said coldly: "I said, I need to fulfill my duties, where the three of you are, I should be there." That's all, rest assured, Your Highness, my ...... to you No interest. ”

His voice was slightly soft in the middle of his last sentence, and Yan Sui glanced up at him, sneering lightly at the end of his nose, looking very disdainful.

Wen Zhen didn't seem to hear it, as a chef, how could he tolerate someone resisting his own food and not enjoying it? Pull Lin Feibai to sit down, "Since you're here, how can you not taste my craft?" Can you please evaluate my recent progress in my craft? Try this little crab, don't look big, but it is the fattest time, the shell is thin and yellow, the fresh fat is incomparable, the shell is wrapped in flour and fried crispy, remember to eat it...... What about the little crabs? Your Highness, don't be so stingy! ”

Yan Sui, who held the whole pot of fried little crabs in her arms and ate them slowly as snacks, lifted her eyelids to look at her, and said idly: "Don't be too fraternistic and enthusiastic, it's easy to attract cats and dogs to follow the waves, understand?" ”

"I don't understand!" Wen Zhen raised his eyebrows, "Why are the most prodigal people always in DISS and others are promising?" Is it true that this wave can't see the other wave? Grabbing the crab basin, he poured a plate for Lin Feibai, and arranged the dishes and chopsticks to introduce him to the flavor of each food.

Lin Feibai also sat down, although he didn't speak, he didn't refuse her arrangement, and he smiled faintly at the corners of his eyebrows.

Yan Sui "clicked" and bit a crab to pieces.

It's a slippery and soft cake.

What a disgusting dullness in some ways!

……

Wen Zhen is actually not dull, but she feels that since she has acquiesced to being Yan Sui's girlfriend, she naturally has to think about him, he has a hateful personality of making enemies everywhere, and she naturally wants to be sweet and welcome people to fill the gap for him. Lin Feibai is also a powerful person, with excellent character and the same position, everyone has been together for several months, so they naturally have to get along well; Second, since Lin Feibai has so much thought, blindly avoiding it is not beautiful, but it makes people think more, it is better to show the same frank attitude in the frank and frank manner, Lin Feibai is such a smart person, he must know how to cherish such a friendship, and he will not easily take a step beyond the thunder pool.

To adopt different attitudes towards different people, for example, to Tang Xianzhi, you can't be so enthusiastic, that seemingly humble gentleman, in fact, is very good at flirting......

Thinking of Tang Xianzhi, Wen Zhen felt a pain in his heart. Hurriedly dropped what he was eating, said that it was time to grill the fish, took the fish that had been processed and dried to roast, the fish was skewered on the branches, licked by the tongue of fire and squeaked with oil, Wen Zhen sat by the fire, slowly turning the branches.

Suddenly, Chinese came over, handed Yan Sui a letter of letters, and said, "Urgent." ”

Yan Sui unfolded it and looked at it, and said, "Zeng Huai's family members were exiled to hard labor, and His Majesty ordered me to send someone to pick them up. ”

Chinese said: "The subordinates will arrange it immediately." ”

Yan Sui seemed to be thinking about something, shook his head after a while, and said, "Send someone to guard it secretly, just be careful not to let people die." ”

Chinese was stunned for a moment, but he never questioned his master in official affairs, nodded and left.

Wen Zhen felt that this name was familiar, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that this was the general of the Tang family who was killed by the Tang family under the pretext of revealing Tang Xian's whereabouts on Yan Sui's birthday last time.

When I first heard those few words, I had a strong question, and I just asked it clearly.

"Your Highness, who is Zeng Huai?"

Yan Sui seemed to have been waiting for her to ask for a long time, and answered quickly, "The commander of the garrison in the west of Dingyang Prefecture is responsible for the garrison in the Dingyang area. ”

"Traveling to Wuhai that day, this person is not on the boat, right?"

She remembered that the generals who guarded Tang Xianzhi at that time all followed the Tang family's surname Tang, and they were born as slaves of the Tang family.

"He is the commander of the Dingyang border army, he is not guarding Dingyang, what is he going to do at sea?"

"Then it is impossible for him to leak Tang Xianzhi's whereabouts, not to mention that you and I both know the cause of Tang Xianzhi's death, and there is no leaking his whereabouts to cause death, so what does the Tang family mean by doing this?"

Lin Feibai, who had been listening silently, suddenly sneered.

"What do you mean? Find out the meaning of the traitor and make an example of the monkey. ”

Wen Zhen was stunned, and it was really similar to what she guessed.

"Zeng Huai is the highest-level internal response of the imperial court into the Tang family, in order to arrange this internal response, I spent several years before and after, and this is not a simple internal response," Yan Sui said lightly, "Li Xiangda, the commander of the border army stationed in Hengzhou, which borders Dingyang, and Zeng Huai are life and death rivals, Zeng Huai was chased and killed by Li Xiangda back then, so he fled to the land of the Tang family's three states and sought the protection of the Tang family." That's why the Tang family sent Zeng Huai to the west of Dingyang, thinking that it was against the life-and-death enmity of the two families, and Zeng Huai would also guard Dingyang well, and never let Li Xiangda have a chance. ”

Wen Zhen suddenly thought of something, "Could it be that this mortal enemy is actually fake?" ”

"Yes, not only is it fake, but Zeng Huai is actually the biological son of General Li. is also Li Yishu's cousin. ”

“……”

"When I was looking for a candidate, Ding Guogong personally recommended Zeng Huai. Zeng Huai was originally the illegitimate son of Li Xiangda, and on the surface, his mother family and the Li family had some old enmity. In private, I have already recognized my ancestors and returned to my ancestors, because of this rare cover-up, I agreed to Ding Guogong's recommendation. Li Xiangda and Zeng Huai acted in a play, and then Zeng Huai defected to the Tang family and became the commander of the Dingyang border army step by step. Of course, there is also the contribution of the imperial court. ”

As a result, the high-level internal response that he had painstakingly cultivated was suddenly killed.

"So powerful, old general......"

"Hit by this, I can't afford to be sick, and I have to hide it from the outside world, after all, I can't be sure if the Tang family killed him because they found out Zeng Huai's identity, or because of other reasons. But General Li is old, and he has always felt guilty about this illegitimate child, and he thought that he would come back to compensate him as soon as possible after completing the internal task, but the result was ......"

As a result, there will never be a chance to compensate, which is embarrassing.

Between the power games, how many people's joys and sorrows occur in an instant and become dust in an instant.

"If General Li can't hold on, Hengzhou will have to change generals, no matter who he changes, it will definitely cause turmoil. The Tang family can take advantage of the situation. ”

Killing two birds with one stone, the Tang family's hand is not ruthless.

The Tang family has always been low-key, who is this, suddenly showing their fierce fangs?

"Since such a loyal courtier, his family has suffered such a tragedy, and he doesn't know how much humiliation he will suffer, why don't he take it back quickly."

"Just taking it back like this is tantamount to admitting that Zeng Huai is the inner response, since he has paid so many prices, he can't return in vain like this."

"But Zeng Huaidu is dead, do you want his family to continue to bear the price?"

"Zeng Huai died, and there are still articles to do. The Tang family should be tempting, the Zeng family has a few sons who are quite heroic, if they can survive this hurdle......"

Wen Zhen suddenly interrupted Yan Sui's words.

She had always been polite and never did such unreasonable things as interrupting others, but now she couldn't help it.

She felt that the three views of the two of them were at odds again in an instant.

"Your Highness, there is no reason for the Zeng family to continue to bear such sacrifices."

"Do you know how much the imperial court paid in order to let Zeng Huai rise step by step in northern Sichuan, and how many people bore and sacrificed?"

"But that doesn't ...... either"

This time it was Yan Sui who interrupted her.

"Cake. The game of the world and the battle for the land are destined to be white bones and blood. Someone will die because of this, and what the living have to do is make his death worthwhile. ”

"It is enough for one person to sacrifice his life for the country, why should his family sacrifice for the country? Did all the Zeng family tag me as a victim? Wen Zhen frowned and stared at him, "If it were you, you burped for the imperial court, and the imperial court still wanted me to take over your career, what would you do?" ”

Yan Sui looked incredulous.

"If I marry you, how can I take the risk of doing the fine work of the court again?"

Wen Zhen: "......"

Lin Feibai, who couldn't bear it anymore while listening, turned around and wanted to leave.

Sighing, she rubbed her eyebrows, and had to change her perspective and say, "Okay, let's not argue about this first." I just want to ask you, give the choice to the Zeng family, okay? If they want revenge and want to look for opportunities, let them stay and protect them secretly; If they want to come back, take it back. Okay? ”

Yan Sui raised his eyebrows, but after all, he didn't say anything more, adding some firewood to the fire, and Wen Zhen acquiesced.

"By the way, Your Majesty mentioned Fengshan that day......"

"Qifeng Mountain is in the west of Dingyang, not far from Hengzhou."

Tang Xianzhi was buried, how could he not be buried in the main state of northern Sichuan, but ran so far?

Wen Zhen's heart was in a mess, and at this moment, he suddenly felt that the dispute between the imperial court and the assassin was imminent, and he had not been able to adapt to the cruelty in the meantime.

The Tang family's shot this time was very ruthless, whose handiwork was it?

She unconsciously turned the willow branches, remembering that the first time she grilled fish in Dongtang, it seemed that she was roasting for Tang Xianzhi in an unknown mountain......

The tip of her heart twitched again, and she was a little distracted, until Yan Sui suddenly said, "What are you thinking?" Why does it smell a little mushy? Only then did Huo Ran realize that the fish on one side was already a little browned.

This is really an unforgivable huge mistake for her, she quickly got up to find the green onions, ready to squeeze some juice and smear it on the fish to remove the burnt smell, Lin Feibai took over the task of grilling the fish, Wen Zhen took a few steps to find the mountain onions, turned a corner, did not see the guards, and saw the same dim layers of mountain shadows under the dim skylight, the pine waves in the mountains were like waves, the birds returning at night did not know which tree to call dumbly, and the stream in the distance was murmuring and soaked with moss.

In such a chaotic and silent night, she grabbed a handful of wild onions and became distracted.

Then in the midst of the songsong and birdsong, she vaguely seemed to hear it, and a low chuckle.

------Off topic------

Three hundred and sixty degrees sprinkled and rolled and howled.

Why is this month's monthly pass so unimpressive!

You don't love me anymore!

If you continue like this, you'll lose your baby!
