As for Mingjuan, they can't take it with them at all. Before leaving, Su Jinyao also left an antidote for Mama Hong.

The antidote was handed over to Mingjuan, so Mama Hong couldn't set off any waves, and she would have some scruples about Mingjuan.

In fact, since Su Jinyao raised the wages of these subordinates in the Prince's Mansion, these people's motivation is also very strong.

And as long as he sees Su Jinyao, he will salute respectfully, at least on the surface, he recognizes this princess and supports him very much.

As for whether these people are looking at the face of money, or whether they really have a conscience, I don't know. But after a long time, I will see the hearts of the people, and as the days go by, there will definitely be people among these people who are truly loyal to Su Jinyao.

You can't run fast on the streets of the capital on horseback, and Gu Xuebin is out of the city in micro-clothes, so he can only pick up some small streets and ride a horse. When you get to the main road, you have to get off the horse and walk.

When I came to the outside of the city like this, I saw that Dongzi was already waiting with the carriage and Xiuning.

Su Jinyao rode over directly and said, "Xiuning, Dongzi, the itinerary has changed, you can only go on the road by yourself." You go back to Anji City first and wait for me, and I will go to Mobei first. Xiuning, you go to see my father and tell me the truth. Dongzi, you go to Brother Ma Liuge, and ask him to give me statistics and summarize all the operating methods of the carriage and horse dealership, and say that I will use it when I go back. ”

Dongzi and Xiuning nodded in agreement.

Su Jinyao gave the two of them enough entanglement. It is also explained that if there is an inn or carriage and horse shop with the name of "Ya" on the road, you can go directly to live. And then let them go on their way.

Xiuning got into the car, waved his hand at Su Jinyao before putting down the curtain, and said, "Master, be careful on the road." ”

Su Jinyao also waved at them, and then pulled Ma and Gu Xuebin and ran towards the other road.

Xiuning has Dongzi to take care of, and Su Jinyao is not particularly worried. And let them find their own cars and horses to live, also to facilitate care.

All the way to Mobei, Su Jinyao also left her exclusive mark on the road from time to time, which was to contact Qiu Ying.

Because Qiu Ying has not heard from Su Jinyao since she separated from her in Huwei Village. It's been a few months now, and even Mu Qingyu hasn't replied.

Su Jinyao wasn't in a hurry to find Qiu Ying for something, but there was no movement for a long time, which made Su Jinyao feel at ease.

Of course, Su Jinyao didn't think it was a betrayal or that there was something wrong with those secret agents. If that's the case, there will always be some news on Su Jinyao's side.

The reason why there is no news is that, on the one hand, it may be that Autumn Shadow doesn't have anything important; On the other hand, it may be that Qiu Ying and Jin Mei are together, that is, at their headquarters in Mingyang City.

Gu Xuebin also knew that Su Jinyao left those marks to contact Qiu Ying or her secret agents, so he didn't ask too much.

Gu Xuebin is like this, anything that Su Jinyao can solve by herself, or about her secret agents, as long as Su Jinyao doesn't ask for help, Gu Xuebin will not interfere at will. This can be regarded as giving Su Jinyao enough free space.

However, A-Ning was more careful, and deliberately asked Su Jinyao what these marks meant when no one noticed, and whether they would be discovered and used by some other people.

Su Jinyao felt that A-Ning was her own person, so she also told her something. But the specific content meaning is not said.

Although one is a shadow guard and the other is a secret agent, the meaning that Su Jinyao gives them is completely different, so they can't be confused.

But when she was about to reach Mobei, Su Jinyao still didn't receive any news from Qiu Ying. However, along the way, she met many inns and carriages marked with the word "Ya", and found many lurking spies during the process.

Su Jinyao didn't have any important news, so she didn't contact these secret agents.

After walking for half a day, we arrived at the intersection of Fancheng and Licheng. The last time they went to Mobei, they first went to Licheng by detour, and then turned to Fancheng.

This time, Gu Xuebin asked Su Jinyao again: "Jinyao, Geng Bin is still in Licheng, do you want to go over and have a look this time?" ”

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "No, of course I went to my uncle first." If you can find someone to send a message, you can ask Brother Geng to come to Fancheng. ”

Gu Xuebin said: "Then I can only go to my uncle's side, and then ask him to send people from the barracks to deliver the message." The random people found on the road, Geng Bin may not be able to trust them. ”

Su Jinyao also nodded in agreement, and they continued on their way. Because there was no need to make a detour, I had already passed Fancheng at noon the next day and went straight to the barracks.

Because no one reported in advance, it wasn't until Gu Xuebin and Su Jinyao came to a place twenty miles outside the barracks that they saw a group of people galloping in front of them.

Gu Xuebin pulled the horse to look over, and then turned to Su Jinyao and said, "Uncle is here in person." ”

"Then let's hurry over." Su Jinyao smiled and urged Mo Yun first, and rushed towards General Tuoba Gao's side.

Tuoba Gao saw Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin riding over from a distance, so he grabbed the war horse and waved vigorously at them with a smile.

Su Jinyao also shouted from afar: "Uncle, we are here." The crisp voice was full of enthusiasm, and it could be heard that Su Jinyao called this "uncle" from the bottom of her heart.

When Su Jinyao ran closer, she found Tuoba Gao looking at them with a smile on her face, but her eyes were a little red.

Gu Xuebin also grabbed the horse in front of him and called out in a deep voice: "Uncle, are you okay?" I brought Jinyao to see you. ”

"Good, naturally good. My uncle eats a lot every day and sleeps soundly. This camp is also bigger than before, but it is more spacious. Tuoba Gao said, pointing back to his finger.

Following the direction of his finger, you can see the continuous camps and flags in front of you, as well as the strong military power and military spirit that can be deeply felt without publicity.

But looking at all this, Su Jinyao's heart was a little astringent and a little stalked.

Because what echoes that camp is not a picturesque landscape, but a piece of yellow sand.

Tea for my uncle

This desert north is a desolate and miserable place, even if the camp is big and stable, it is not as comfortable as the prosperous big city.

And Tuoba Gao could have been his general in the capital comfortably, but he was invited here for the marriage of Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin.

Su Jinyao really felt that her uncle had paid enough for them and for her.

Now looking at Tuoba Gao's wrinkles blown by the desert wind, and the black dead skin on her face, Su Jinyao's heart hurts.

Su Jinyao said, "Uncle, you didn't take the prescription I left for you last time, right?" Look at this face is covered with dead skin, like an old man. I'm here this time, and I won't leave until I see you take care of yourself. ”

"Haha, what are you afraid of if you don't leave, can your uncle's military camp stay for you? Let's go, let's go back first, it's too windy and sandy here. Tuoba Gao said, pulling the horse's head first.

Gu Xuebin and Su Jinyao followed closely and ran towards the barracks together.

Now Gu Xuebin is visiting relatives as the nephew of General Tuoba Gao. So when he came to the camp gate, Gu Xuebin told the soldiers led by Zhang Chengliang not to kneel and worship, just follow the usual etiquette.

Everyone entered the camp gate together, and someone led Su Jinyao and their horses over.

Although A-Ning and Mo are shadow guards, they are even more unsuitable for hiding and hiding in the barracks, so they still follow as attendants.

And both of them are dressed normally, but their expressions are more serious, and it is appropriate to say that they are personal attendants.

There were no women in the barracks, and even the cooks were men instead of cooks. Therefore, when they came to the big tent of the Chinese army, a small soldier came to deliver refreshments.

Su Jinyao said to Zhang Chengliang: "Uncle Zhang, can you send a clever soldier to help me deliver a letter to Licheng?" I have one of my men over there. ”

Zhang Chengliang immediately said that there was no problem, so he asked Su Jinyao for a token, and he would arrange it now.

Su Jinyao went to the table and took a pen and paper, wrote a short message, stamped her name seal, and handed it to Zhang Chengliang. It was specified that he was looking for Geng Bin in Licheng.

As soon as he heard that it was the name "Geng Bin", Zhang Chengliang smiled and said, "It turns out that Geng Bin is your subordinate." Now there are three largest camel gangs in Licheng, all of which are deployed by Geng Bin. His name is not only well-known in Licheng, but even the Hu merchants and nomadic tribes within a radius of hundreds of miles know his name. ”

Su Jinyao said with a smile: "This is all Brother Geng's own achievements, I just lead him." ”

For Geng Bin, it can be regarded as a relationship between friends and subordinates, but Su Jinyao still tends to take Geng Bin as his subordinate. It's not that Su Jinyao doesn't want to treat Geng Bin as a friend, it's just that once it is linked to interests, it is impossible to become a real friend in business.

So this seems to be a somewhat unsympathetic relationship, but it just proves that Su Jinyao attaches great importance to Geng Bin. You can't be vague about everything as a friend.

If it is the relationship between superiors and subordinates, you can return to one yard, clearly run in with each other, and finally put forward opinions that are more suitable for development.

After saying these two words, Zhang Chengliang immediately ordered someone to send a letter to Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin waited until Tuoba Gao also sat down, and then they both knelt down in front of Tuoba Gao.

Tuoba Gao was stunned for a moment, and quickly stood up

, both hands went to help Gu Xuebin and Su Jinyao respectively. He couldn't stop saying, "What is this for?" It's a little late to greet the New Year, so you don't need such a big ceremony to see the ceremony. ”

Gu Xuebin refused to get up, insisted on kneeling and kowtowed, and then said, "Uncle, although you are not my only relative. But you raised me from a young age, and you are the best and most understanding of my relatives. When I was in Pingshan Village, you alone replaced my father and mother, gave me care and protection, and tried your best to detoxify me, and risked your life to arrange everything in the capital for me. The reason why I am still here today and can sit on the throne of the crown prince is due to you, uncle. So, don't say it's a kneel, even if I ask you to bow three times and knock nine times, you can afford it. ”

Su Jinyao also kowtowed then and said, "Uncle, we were able to successfully complete the wedding, and it also depends on your sacrifice and protection. When we got married, we didn't have the opportunity to bow down to you, kowtow, and we couldn't toast you with a cup of tea, so now you can be worshiped by us and drink another cup of tea that we toast. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao also knelt and moved two steps to serve the tea on the table.

A-Ning was very eye-catching, and hurriedly walked over to pick up the tea and sent it to Su Jinyao's hands.

Su Jinyao took it, raised her hands above her head, and saluted General Tuoba Gao.

Tuoba Gao looked at the teacup in Su Jinyao's hand, and then looked at the pair of beautiful people kneeling in front of him, and his eyes turned red again.

He took Su Jinyao's tea with a slightly trembling hand, and when he lifted the lid with his hand, the lid made a fine "click" sound when it touched the rim of the cup, which showed that this tough guy was in a complicated and excited mood at this time.

Gu Xuebin also took another cup of tea handed over by A-Ning, raised his hands above his head, and said, "Uncle, please drink tea." ”

"Okay, Uncle has drunk. My uncle's heart was so happy. Tuoba Gao took the teacup again and took a sip.

This time, he held the tea cup in front of him, and even after drinking the tea, he didn't put it down.

Not because of anything else, but because of the tears that had already fallen from the corners of his eyes. He was using the teacup to block the red circles under his eyes and the moisture that overflowed his eyes, and he always felt a little ashamed.

Su Jinyao had actually seen the sparkle flashing in the corners of Tuoba Gao's eyes, but she was only moved in her heart and never said it.

Tuoba Gao took two more breaths before putting down the teacup in his hand. He held Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin with both hands again, and said, "Okay, hurry up." I also drank tea, do I still want my uncle's red envelope? To be honest, my uncle really didn't prepare a red envelope, and you didn't let me know in advance when you came. ”

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that a scout sent by the military camp found Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin, they would have reported back. I was afraid that they had been at the gate of the barracks, and Tuoba Gao couldn't believe that it was Su Jinyao and them coming.

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this, and said, "Not only do we not want my uncle's red envelopes, but I still have big red envelopes to share with these soldiers." ”

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she took out her exclusive seal from her arms, went to the table to write a redemption ticket, and stamped the seal again.

Then Su Jinyao handed the redemption ticket to Tuoba Gao and said, "Uncle, I know that Mobei is a barren land, and it is too hard for the soldiers to be stationed here. These three thousand taels of silver are the red envelopes that Che and I gave them at our wedding, although it is not particularly much, so it can be regarded as asking for a lottery for everyone. ”

Two hundred taels of gold were rewarded

Three thousand taels of silver is really nothing for tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. But this is Su Jinyao's capital alone, and it is also a heart to the soldiers, which is enough to make people feel grateful.

Although Tuoba Gao is a general, he does not have a rich family background, otherwise when he lived in the bamboo forest in Pingshan Village, he would not have relied on hunting in the mountains to make a living.

Therefore, Su Jinyao's big gesture was even more surprising in Tuoba Gao.

Tuoba Gao has the intention to give up, but after all, this is also a part of Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin's intentions, not to mention that it is still the color of the prince's wedding, and he has no right to let all the soldiers give up their share.

But if it comes next, I feel uneasy. After all, he, who is an uncle, is about to be destitute, so at this time, not only did he prepare gifts, but also accepted Su Jinyao's silver, and he really couldn't help it.

Gu Xuebin also saw his uncle's embarrassment, so he walked over and took the redemption ticket, turned around to the table and picked up the pen to add a few more strokes. Then he took out his prince's jade seal, solemnly covered it, and put it back into his uncle's hands.

Tuoba Gao looked at it again and couldn't help but be even more surprised. Because Su Jinyao originally wrote "three thousand taels of silver". And the words Gu Xuebin added at the back were "Bounty of two hundred taels." ”

The ratio of gold and silver to silver is about one to fifteen. In this way, one tael of gold can be exchanged for at least fifteen taels of silver and a fraction.

Then the two hundred taels of gold that Gu Xuebin casually added, if it were to be exchanged for silver, it would be more than three thousand taels.

In other words, Su Jinyao sent three thousand taels of silver to the soldiers in Mobei. And Gu Xuebin rewarded another two hundred taels of gold in the name of the prince. That's a great gift.

"This, Che'er, uncle is not too little." Tuoba Gao looked at the redemption ticket with two seals and said with a look of embarrassment.

Gu Xuebin smiled, closed Tuoba Gao's hand, let him hold the redemption ticket, and said, "I know that my uncle is not good at taking Jinyao's silver, so I added my prince's jade seal to the back." With this seal, the three thousand taels of silver and the two hundred taels of gold will all be allocated by the treasury. It's just that Jin Yao's seal comes first, and the uncle can go to Tongli Silver Village first to exchange the gold and silver and distribute it to the soldiers. The silver from the treasury will be supplied to Jinyao in batches. ”

In this way, it is equivalent to the treasury issuing silver to reward the three armies, and Su Jinyao just went to Tongli Yinzhuang first to lend the silver. In this way, Tuoba Gao can feel at ease when he takes this redemption ticket.

Tuoba Gao took a breath and put away the redemption ticket. After all, this is a part of Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin's intentions, and besides, the soldiers here are really hard, and taking it can be regarded as giving them some comfort.

Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin accompanied Tuoba Gao to talk for a while, and Zhang Chengliang came back. While telling Su Jinyao that a reliable person had been sent to Licheng to deliver the letter, he asked everyone when they were going to eat, saying that they had already instructed the husband to step up preparations.

Tuoba Gao said: "Jin Yao and Che'er have also worked hard all the way, let them go to their camp to rest first, and then start eating." ”

Zhang Chengliang said: "Okay, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, please come with me." ”

The two of them said to General Tuoba Gao, and followed Zhang Chengliang out of the Chinese military tent.

Zhang Chengliang led them to another tent not far away, and said, "This tent was a temporary meeting place for the general before. However, there were no guests to come, so I ordered someone to clean up and set up two camp beds. Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to be wronged and rest here for the time being. I have ordered another big tent to be pitched, but I don't think it will be available until tomorrow at the earliest. ”
