One or two hundred miles away in Yao County, in the signing room in the corner of the county office, Gao County Ling and Master Zhou were sitting sadly opposite each other.

For most of the past six months, he and Master Zhou have been a pair of guests and hosts, and this mood is from the earth to the sky, and then from the sky to the earth, I don't know how many times they have flown back and forth.

In the past ten years, there have been no major events on both sides, and small trivial matters have not been broken, all on the line of Jinghu South Road, he thought that if he wanted to fight, it must also be from Jinghu South Road.

Unexpectedly, the army over there was actually stationed in Jin County opposite, and this battlefield was so close to his Yao County!

When the army on the opposite side was stationed in the vicinity of Jin County, he was anxious and frightened.

Master Zhou comforted him, saying that Qi Dashuai is extremely powerful, their Shu people are rich, and the soldiers are strong and strong.

He was in a better mood, but he didn't expect that as soon as the fight started, it was rumored that it was An Jiajun who led the troops in front, and he felt that it was over......

He didn't dare to wait any longer, so he hurriedly sent his family away, sat opposite Master Zhou every day, drank strong tea every day, and discussed that they could hit Yao County in a few days. How can you hold it?

A few days later, when his hair was about to turn white, he heard that the two families were going to negotiate peace, and Shudi and that side were going to merge together, and he couldn't believe it at the time.

Later, there were more and more letters, and I heard that the emperor over there had spoken, and all the officials in Shu, except for the subordinate officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion, all the original appointments were included in the Ministry of Officials, and they were assessed and transferred like the officials over there, and they were treated equally!

It couldn't have been better!

But the day before yesterday, he suddenly learned that the girl, her famous handsome husband, and a young man from the An family, were going to Chengdu Mansion through his Yao County.

It was a bolt from the bolt!

For this peace, he took out the strength to inquire, from the second uncle who stayed in Chengdu Mansion to the stewards who were sent by him to Jingzhou City, Licheng, and even Jinxian County, there was a steady stream of all kinds of true and false news.

After he and Master Zhou pondered, analyzed, weighed and speculated over and over again, the matter of discussing peace was first raised by the other side, and the two items that were willing to be made over there should be true.

But on their side of Shudi, it is difficult to say, it is said that the prime minister was very unhappy, and he attacked the eldest prince two or three times in public.

However, the eldest prince rushed back to Chengdu City, it is said that it was to preside over the important event of peace and discussion.

But five days ago, he received a message from Senator Huang, with the words of the second prince in the middle, saying that the discussion was spread by someone with bad intentions, saying that although the girl had a little bit of Renzong blood, she was the daughter of the surname Li, and she was married to an enemy, and she was not a friend or foe, so he had to regard her as an enemy, otherwise what would happen.

Senator Huang is the eldest brother of the second son's daughter-in-law, Huang's in-law, and the eldest son of the second son.

The second son is also forgotten, after the prime minister, it must be the eldest prince in charge, but the eldest son is not married, and he does not have a son and a half daughter......

Gao Xian Ling slapped his head in pain, "Old Zhou, you have to hurry up and come up with a one-way trip, no matter what, it should arrive tomorrow, what should we do?" Will the gates be open or not? To welcome or not to welcome? ”

"Dong Weng, this matter is not a matter of not being able to open the city gate and not welcoming it.

Before this matter, you have to think about it first, first, you say, can this peace be negotiated?

If you think you can negotiate, but I heard that the emperor over there wants to manage our Shu land in the hands of that handsome man for ten or eight years, you say, this city gate can't be opened? Do you want to go out? That's just to welcome out, that's to welcome out as enthusiastically as possible! You're going to the city now! ”

Gao Xian Ling listened with a bitter face, didn't he just don't know if it could be negotiated, after all, the prime minister was very unhappy, but he was just very unhappy.

"If you can't reach a discussion, then it's difficult, the eldest son and the second son, it's not the same meaning, then you can't open the door, welcome it out, you will offend people, either offend this or that one."

"So what the hell is going on?" Gao Xianling was anxious. "Whether it can be negotiated or not, how do I know? Who knows? But this man will be here tomorrow! ”

"Or else!"

Master Zhou was ordered by Gao County to roar, and suddenly roared out of his debut.

"Otherwise, the county will respect you tomorrow...... No, no, no, go out of the city now, isn't it autumn, it's agricultural time, right, you have to go and inspect the farming, right?

Anyway, no one has told us, at least no one is telling us formally, will anyone come to our Yao County tomorrow, you definitely don't know about the county, right? ”

Gao Xian Ling stared widely, and for a moment, he slapped the table, "Good idea!" Let's go now! Not now, the city gate is closed, and tomorrow morning, as soon as the city gate is opened, I will go out of the city to inspect the farming. You stay in the county office, you can be the master, you can be the master, if you can't be the master, you will push it on me, anyway, I'm not here, and I definitely won't be able to come back, no way! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Wonderful! Master Zhou clapped his hands and admired, he was so anxious!

……………………

The next day, before dawn, the team set off for Yao County.

When it was dark, An Xiaorui approached Xie Ze, and a team of light horsemen who followed them not far behind, "What should I do?" Just let them follow? ”

"Well, this is also the proper meaning, you go and ask who is in charge, tell him about our itinerary today, and tell him that at noon today, the princess and I will go to Yao County for lunch."

Xie Ze indifferently ordered.

An Xiaorui agreed, turned the horse's head, and went straight back.

The leader of the team behind was a middle-aged leader in his forties, and when he saw An Xiaorui coming straight towards him, he suddenly became nervous.

An Xiaorui rushed to the middle-aged commander's horse, hurriedly turned the horse's head, side by side with the middle-aged commander, looked at the middle-aged commander and arched his hand, and said with a smile:

"In Xia An Xiaorui, line five, may I ask the general's surname?"

"Don't dare to be!" The middle-aged commander hurriedly returned the salute, "I am just a commander below, I should not be a general, I should not have a noble surname, and I should not have a noble surname Qiu, Qiu Shusheng." ”

"Commander Qiu." An Xiaorui owed a debt on the horse, and his smile became even brighter, "This mission, is Commander Qiu leading the team?" ”

An Xiaorui drew a half circle behind him.

"Yes." Commander Qiu replied with extreme caution.

"There's Lao Qiu in charge." An Xiaorui bowed his hand again, "My lord asked me to inform Commander Qiu about our trip today."

Rushed to Yao County before noon, the prince and the princess wanted to go to Yao County for lunch.

The prince and the princess are considered to be people in the army, and they even eat and rest at noon, only for an hour, and then continue to hurry.

Rushed to the vicinity of Baliji before dark, there is a post station to see if you can live in a post station, there is an inn to stay in the inn, if there is nothing, then camp in the wild.

Does Commander Qiu see that this itinerary is appropriate? ”

Commander Qiu wanted to nod but stopped stiffly, "Don't dare, don't dare, the little one is ordered...... Prince, all actions follow the prince, don't dare to be. ”

"Commander Qiu is polite." An Xiaorui smiled like a flower, arched his hand halfway to Commander Qiu, and suddenly looked at a middle-aged general who was next to Commander Qiu, who was listening to him and Commander Qiu with his ears pricked up, and asked with a smile: "What is this general's surname?" ”

"Under Hu Qing." The middle-aged general, who was pricking up his ears and being obedient, was suddenly asked by An Xiaorui, and he was so flustered that he forgot to even say kind words.

"This trip, thanks to Commander Qiu and General Hu Shen, if there is anything, Commander Qiu just sent someone to tell me." An Xiaorui smiled at Commander Qiu again.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Commander Qiu bowed his hand again and again, watching An Xiaorui urge the horse to rush forward and rush out far away, before slowly exhaling a long breath.

"I heard that An Dashuai is handsome and handsome, it seems that there is no false rumor." General Hu looked at An Xiaorui who was far away, and sighed while exhaling.

"In the end, it is the An family, how humble." Commander Qiu's emotion is obviously not the same as General Hu's emotion.

"Did you hear him just now? It was their prince who asked him to come over, the prince is so good-looking! Hu Shen will sigh.

"Look at what you said, more than ten years ago, he was famously good-looking, the first in the world, can he be good-looking? You're. ”

Commander Qiu was also a little off track, but he realized it immediately.

"Don't talk nonsense! He just said that the prince and the princess were going to Yao County for lunch? Is this an accident? Shouldn't it count? ”

"Of course not, who is not like this when you go to the county in Fengzhou and go to the city to eat?" Hu Shen will answer very quickly.

"Well, I think so too, but if something happens when I enter the city......"

Commander Qiu is a careless and thin waist.

"That's the matter of the Yao County Order, what's the matter with us!" Hu Shen will answer faster.

"Exactly!" Commander Qiu breathed a sigh of relief again.

"Lao Qiu, you say, what do we think about the big handsome? Let us go with this, that's not clear, that's it...... Tsk, this is not negotiable, you say, that, aha? ”

Hu Shen approached Commander Qiu and muttered.

"That's not obvious, people said over there, the army of Shudi was handed over to a few generals An, and they went north to fight, this is nothing to do with him Qi Dashuai, this person, which one doesn't think about himself first?"

Commander Qiu smiled dryly.

"That's right. If we all fall into the hands of a few General An, then are we the An Family's army? ”

Hu Shen slid his eyes around, his face tightened, but his eyebrows flew up.

"Let me tell you, this An Jiajun is not a family army, they all say it in private, but everyone thinks that the prestige of the An Jiajun is a battle-hardened battle, and it must not be so easy for us to be this An Jiajun.

I don't know how it will be divided at that time, our Shu army is hundreds of thousands, there are only five generals in total, and they must not all be pro-leaders, and when the time comes, I don't know how to pick people. ”

"Where do you want to go? I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet! Commander Qiu also slipped around with his eyes first, and lowered his voice to reprimand General Hu.

"There's no skimming, that's not," Hu Shen pointed forward with his chin raised, "Skimming in!" ”

"You can't talk nonsense about this, it's a fatal thing." Commander Qiu's voice was lower.

"Let's just say a few words in private." General Hu Shen laughed a few times and stopped talking.

……………………

Moments before noon, the team rushed to the gate of Yao County.

Xie Ze and Li Ran took An Xiaorui, Huo Wencan and Wang Ji, as well as Tao Nong and others, got off the carriage and went into the city, Zhou E and Li Qingning stayed outside the city, arranged for people to bury the stove and cook, and went into the city to buy.

Commander Qiu and General Hu Shen, who followed behind, were a foot away from Zhou E, and they were also cooking outside the city.

Master Zhou sat in the small teahouse near the city gate, and saw Xie Ze and Li Ran coming out of the shadows under the city gate from a distance, he gasped violently, spit out again, stood up, went out from the back door of the teahouse, and hurriedly went back to the county office.

He has to guard in the county office, maybe the prince and the princess will go to the county office to have a look, he has to wait in the county office to ask and not know.

Li Ran and Xie Ze stood side by side, and from the moment they entered the city gate, they slowed down, and carefully looked at the shops and people on both sides as they walked.

She looked at the shops and people on both sides, and the people on both sides were looking at Xie Ze beside her with straight eyes, and they forgot to walk and do things.

Li Ran looked at Xie Ze, who was calm and calm, and couldn't help laughing, Xie Ze looked down at her, reached out to hold her hand, and led her forward unhurriedly.

Xie Ze's grip pulled Li Ran into everyone's sight.

There was a buzzing sound in all directions, and from time to time there were sharp voices coming out of the crowd.

"That's the princess, right? It's extravagant! ”

"Can the princess be extravagant? A true nobleman! ”

"Blessed princess!"

……

Li Ran wanted to laugh when she heard it, but she was a little embarrassed.

It's the first time she's heard the compliment of extravagance, and it's probably with Xie Ze that she can praise her for being extravagant.

But how did this princess Niangniang call it? She has a princess, but what kind of princess is she?

And what does it mean to be blessed by the princess?!

Xie Ze glanced sideways at Li Ran, who was frowning slightly and a little embarrassed, shook her hand, and said with a low smile: "People in the countryside, don't care." ”

"I know." Li Ran furrowed her brows.

"Hey, this Shu people, they are so bold, you look at these one or two, laughing like this, and dare to talk nonsense.

In our capital, when I saw the prince, I was silent, and I even held my breath.

The people of this Shu land are fierce! ”

Huo Wencan approached Wang Ji and muttered to her.

"Look at the prince, in the capital, have you seen the prince smile?" Wang Ji couldn't help but roll his eyes at Huo Wencan.

"Huh?" Huo Wencan hurriedly took a step out, stretched out his head to look at it, hurriedly retracted it again, sighed in a low voice, looked at Wang Ji, wanted to say something, endured it again, and after a while, he still approached Wang Ji and said in a low voice: "It's really not easy for the prince." ”

"Huh?" Wang raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by that?" ”

An Xiaorui, who was close to Huo Wencan, chuckled, and when he saw Huo Wencan glaring at him, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I didn't hear anything!" I didn't hear you say that it was not easy for the prince! ”

"It's not easy for you to say this wrong." Tao Nong glanced at Huo Wencan behind Wang Yi's side, and answered with a smile, "He was happy and wanted to laugh, but not for ...... They laughed. ”

Tao Nong vaguely flattered the two words, but from An Xiaorui, he also understood.

Wang Ji smiled and nodded, "Sister Taonon is right. ”

Huo Wencan snorted plausibly.

An Xiaorui took out a folding fan and shook it open, laughing and shaking.

"Go and ask, which is the best wine shop in Yao County?" Xie Ze looked around and instructed Shi Nan.

Shi Nan responded to come out, and before he could turn around, he was already talking and answering in a loud voice:

"Fu Lai Lou!"

"Our Fulai Building in Yao County! Top spot! ”

"Right ahead!"

"We are very rich! There are three floors! ”

"Then who, hurry up and go to Fulai Lou to say, the noble man is here to eat! Let them come out! ”

……

The gossipy idler, in addition to the enthusiastic answer introduction, also trotted and led the way in front.

Shi Nan hurriedly signaled to the small guards and quietly spread out to the front to prevent crowding, but there were more and more people.

Fortunately, Fulai Building is really not far away, and before the main street of the county town boiled, Xie Ze and Li Ran entered the Huanmen of Fulai Building.

The shopkeeper of Fulai Building has already come out tremblingly.

As soon as the little guy who walked in front stepped on the steps, the shopkeeper knelt down with a plop, startling the little guy and hurriedly dodging to the side.

Xie Ze and Li Ran had just stepped into the threshold of Fulai Building, and in the noise outside, a high voice sounded: "Please let go, please let go, let my old man pass, please let go, please let go!" ”

"Where's the princess? Who is the princess? ”

An aging voice mingled in the mix.

Xie Ze paused, looked at Li Ran, who was looking at him, pushed Li Ran to turn around, and stood outside the threshold.

An Xiaorui and Huo Wencan walked behind, before they went up the steps, when they heard the shout, An Xiaorui hurriedly signaled Huo Wencan, and the two of them were on the left and right, vigilant around.

Tao Nong was just about to step into the threshold, when he saw Xie Ze and Li Ran turn around, he hurriedly turned around and came out, took a few steps down, and stood a few steps outside, waiting to see the movement.

Wang Ji followed closely behind Li Ran, in case Li Ran had something he didn't understand, so that he could mention it in time.

In front of that high voice, five or six Kongwu's guards squeezed out of the way, and a middle-aged man in his thirties, who was very stocky, helped an old man with white hair and trembling, and eagerly moved to the door of Fulai Louhuan from the gap that the servants squeezed out.

"You're the princess, aren't you?" The old man looked a little dazed, and knelt down at Xie Ze and Li Ran.

Momonon tilted her head to the side a little and took a look, she felt that the old man was kneeling down at Xie Ze.

"Don't dare to be it, help it up." Li Ran hurriedly bent his knees and returned the half-salute.

"I didn't expect that Emperor Renzong still has descendants, God has eyes!" The old man kowtowed, but did not lift up, but fell forward on the ground, and began to cry.

"Xiaomin kowtows to the princess and the prince." The middle-aged man who helped the old man over knelt behind the old man and kowtowed several times.

"Is this your grandfather?" Xie Ze pointed to the old man and asked, seeing the middle-aged man nodding, he hurriedly signaled, "Help your grandfather up." ”

"Yes, Weng Weng is happy."

The middle-aged man responded, walked half a step forward, supported the old man who was crying bitterly, looked up at Li Ran and said:

"In the past 20 years, every time the emperor sacrificed his day, Weng Weng cried to death, saying that our family was able to survive thanks to the kindness of the emperor, but the emperor's blood was cut off.

From the day he heard about the princess, Weng Weng was going to kowtow to the princess in person, planning to go to the capital, but Weng Weng was more than seventy years old, and his health was not good, so he didn't expect the princess to go to Yao County. ”

The middle-aged man said, tears falling from his eyes.

"Your family was in Rong'an City at the time?" Li Ran asked and motioned to Taonong, "Help the old man get up." ”

Tao Nong first picked up the crutches that the old man threw beside him, stuffed it into the old man's hand, and said with a smile while helping him: "When Rong'an City was besieged for a while, I was in Xingrong Pass, and the old man got up to speak." ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly stood up and helped the old man.

"Back to the ......"

"It's the princess." The middle-aged man hurriedly corrected the sentence.

"In my heart, it was the princess Niangniang, who was in Rong'an City at the time. Xiao Lao'er was in the spice business, and that year, with his two sons and more than a dozen loads of incense pollen, he was trapped in the small east town. Alas! ”

The old man let out a long sigh.

"If you really want to fight, how can there be living people in those big places in the east town?

At that time, there were one or two hundred people trapped in the small city in the east, and there were no knives and guns, and one person was given a stick, and Xiao Lao'er was ...... Xiao Lao'er, father and son, are all in Dongxiaocheng, if they all die, there will only be women and children in the family, how can there be a way to live?

It's the emperor......

Xiao Lao'er is a big family, Xiao Lao'er is seventy-three years old this year, and he is blessed and long-lived, all of which are the gifts of the emperor.

God has eyes, I'll kowtow to my mother again! ”

The old man said and knelt down again.

"The old man kowtowed enough." Tao Nong hurriedly held the old man, "This is the benevolence of Emperor Renzong, and it is also the blessing of the old man himself, just thank the old man for this kindness, you are a great blessing." ”

"Don't talk about Xiao Lao'er's family, it's the entire Rong'an City, it's this world, if it weren't for the kindness of the emperor, how many more people would have died? How many years will it be messy? Perhaps, this Yao County will be gone a long time ago, killed and burned!

Such a great grace, if you don't keep it in your heart and don't want to think about it, is it still a person?

There is a god three feet above the ground, and this god is here, in the nest of people's hearts!

If you are a person, you will know that you are grateful! ”

The old man became excited, and the crutches in his hand kept beating on the ground, and roared at Taonong.

"Yes, yes, the old man has taught a lesson, the big guys have been taught, the old man can rest assured, we are all human beings, and we are all grateful."

Momino laughed.

Li Ran's heart moved slightly when she heard this, and she subconsciously looked at Xie Ze, who shook his head as if he didn't have anything.

Li Ran pulled out his hand from Xie Ze's hand, went down the steps, and said with a smile to the old man: "Take care of yourself in the future, you and your family are rich and happy, and everyone in the world is rich and happy, which is what Emperor Renzong is most willing to see and like to see, and it is not in vain that Emperor Renzong has a piece of benevolence." ”

"Shi Nan, go get a pair of small gold bills that extend longevity, and pray for the old man's blessing and longevity. Go to the county government again, ask Gao County to assist, Yao County over 70 years old, each person to give five taels of silver, two bottles of wine, more than 60 years old, each person to give two taels of silver, two bottles of wine. ”

Xie Ze then commanded.

The heather crisp sound should be.

The old man wanted to kowtow again, but was stopped by Tao Nong, and the middle-aged man motioned to the healthy servant to help the old man, threw himself to the ground, and kowtowed to Li Ran and Xie Ze a few times.

Look at the lively crowd in a hustle and bustle, you shout and talk about who has sixty old people, which one has seventy old people, five taels of silver! It's two taels, that's terrible, enough for a big family to eat for a year or two!

Seeing the old man holding his grandson and trembling away, Li Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and walked into the threshold again with Xie Ze.

Yao County is a small county after all, and there are only three or four private rooms upstairs in Fulai, and there are no actual people upstairs at this time, only Xie Ze and Li Ran and their people are seated.

Li Ran sat down, listened to the hustle and bustle outside, looked at Xie Ze, frowned slightly, and said, "What a coincidence." ”

"This should be Yang Guogong's handiwork." Xie Ze pushed open the window and took a look at the bustling street.

Li Ran's eyebrows raised.

Xie Ze retracted his gaze, looked at Li Ran's raised eyebrows, and said with a smile: "What Yang Guogong is best at is manipulating people's hearts.

The emperor's temperament is big and transformed, and in the matter of people's hearts, it is often unthinkable that before Yang Guogong threw himself into the emperor's side, the emperor's reputation among the people was not very good.

The Ning family can win the world, and Yang Guogong has made great contributions, this is the words of Niangniang.

Yang Guogong is very good at manipulating people's hearts, and he also knows people's hearts, after the world was rough, Yang Guogong has never done anything to manipulate people's hearts, and I am also the first time to see his methods. ”

After a pause, Xie Ze continued:

"Yang Guogong has arrived at Jinghu South Road, commanding and dispatching, our trip, the imperial court is doing its best."

Li Ran was silent for a moment and hummed lowly.

This sentence did her best to make her feel a little breathless.
