"Brother, what's wrong?" Bai Shao settled down and asked.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that Your Majesty is going to assign someone to Guangliang County to deliver grain and grass." Gu Qingfan frowned and said, "Now that the temperature is rising, the grain and grass sent before are almost finished, and it is indeed time to send grain and grass again." ”

"It's only been a long time, and I'm going to send grain and grass again......" Bai Shao couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's not a long time, it's a long way to Guangliang County, and 10,000 stone of grain from Yanjing is only half left. This half, based on the number of soldiers stationed in Guangliang County, can eat for half a year without fighting, and if there is a war, it may only be able to eat for three or four months. The so-called soldiers did not move the grain and grass first, and they couldn't eat enough, how did the soldiers garrison the border passes, and how did they go into battle to kill the enemy. Gu Qingfan said lightly.

Bai Shao then remembered that Gu Qingfan had been back for more than half a year, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother, you have been back to Yanjing for more than half a year, why didn't Your Majesty let you go to Guangliang County anymore?" Wasn't there a war? ”

Gu Qingfan smiled a little helplessly, "Even if there is a battle, it doesn't have to be me, I am just a commanding general, and it is impossible for Dayan to have no other generals." As for me not going back for so long...... It's because His Majesty personally recalled me, and it's true that Guangliang County has been very peaceful recently. ”

His Majesty personally recalled Gu Qingfan, and did not let him go to Guangliang County again, but let him stay in Yanjing all the time.

In an instant, a flash of inspiration appeared in Bai Shao's mind, as if he had caught something useful.

But the aura disappeared again in a moment, and she didn't catch anything useful, so she could only bow her head in frustration.

Linglong next to him asked, "The general mentioned this grain and grass today, didn't His Majesty ask you to send the grain and grass?" ”

"Not me." Gu Qingfan shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's for the fourth prince to go." ”

"Is him again?" Bai Shao's eyes widened, and she said with some uneasiness, "Why is it him again?" Not to mention the long way to Guangliang County, a large pile of grain and grass cannot be stopped, and people need to be in a hurry all the time, eating and sleeping in the open. If you want to talk about training for the prince, he has already been there once, why did he go this time? The other princes didn't go once. ”

Gu Qingfan glanced at Bai Shao, didn't answer this matter, but shook his head a little helplessly, "I started to protect it before I got married, if I really marry him in the future, I will pay it back." ”

"Brother, it's not a question of whether to protect or not." Bai Shao was in a hurry, ran to Gu Qingfan, tugged at his sleeve and asked, "Hurry up and tell me, what's going on?" Also, can you push it? I always felt a bad premonition in my heart. ”

"I can't stop it......" Gu Qingfan said in a deep voice, "It's June, and it will take two months for ordinary people to travel from Yanjing to Guangliang County, but the driving of grain and grass is different from that of horse-drawn carriages, if I am not mistaken, he should come back in November and December, and he can be regarded as able to catch up with the New Year." ”

"Well, now it's twelve months a year, eight or nine months on the road!" Bai Shao shouted unhappily in his heart, "Why do you have to let him go?" What about the other princes? What about the other ministers? Why do you have to go with him! ”

"This is the emperor's order, but I think he seems to be happy to go, in short, he asked me to tell you that you should stay in the Zhenguo Mansion these days, don't go out at will, don't attend the banquet at will, so as not to let the second prince have a chance. And the two maids I gave you should also be with you at all times, let the other maids go first if you have something, and don't let the two of them leave your side. Gu Qingfan instructed, "The fourth prince also asked me to tell you, saying that when he comes back, everything will be settled." ”

This seems to be a promise, which makes Bai Shao feel inexplicably relieved.

She clenched the handkerchief she had picked up when she was in Gu's mansion, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I know." ”

"Okay, you guys have a good talk, I'm going to see him off." Gu Qingfan reached out and touched Bai Shao's head, then looked at the position in the middle of his eyes as if intentionally or unintentionally, turned his head and left.

Bai Shao bit her lower lip, looked at Linglong beside her, and then looked at Bai Wei, who was sticking out of the middle, and her eyes turned slightly.

"Do you want to go over and send one to the four princes?" Linglong blinked and asked in a low voice.

Bai Shao nodded, but then sighed, "Still no, not to mention that we don't know the specific time of departure, just say that before he left, he earnestly instructed me not to go out of the town at will, it can be seen that Yanjing is still not safe for me, I can't go out willfully, for him, for my brother in vain." ”

"You're a girl who understands things." Linglong smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll be back in a few months, and didn't he say it, the dust will settle soon." ”

The dust settled?

How difficult, how difficult......

Bai Shao shook his head, and went back to the room to rest with a little dizziness, but in fact, he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning on the bed.

She never thought that this trip to deliver grain and grass was Yan Shu's initiative to ask for help.

Emperor Tianyu was also very surprised, you must know that the twice-a-year grain and grass trips are usually for different people.

Without him, just because of the long distance, it is really bitter to sleep in the open, if the same group of people transport grain and grass back and forth, just like Bai Shao said, the time of the year is basically on the road.

But Yan Shu said that his trip was to pick a flame flower unique to Guangliang County for the beauty, and he wanted to transplant the flower to Miss Gu to win the hearts of the beauties.

Such a sincere expression aroused the emperor's interest, and after a little thought, he really nodded in agreement.

So, Yan Shu once again embarked on this destined unquiet journey.

Although he was a little worried about Bai Shao's safety in his heart, but after thinking about it, a Gu Qingfan could protect her without worry, and with the fact that the old town Guogong was also there, and Bai Wei Baiyunshi was also there, he could leave with confidence.

Sometimes, a short separation is a long-term reunion.

Before setting off, he took one last deep look at the tall and wide city gate of Yanjing and rode away.

He knew, or he didn't know, that only three days after he had set out, another group of men had quietly followed him.

Zhenguo Mansion.

Because of Yan Shu's instructions, Bai Shao pushed away all the banquet posts, and stayed in the courtyard of the Zhenguo Mansion every day.

If the Lu family hadn't been coming to her intentionally or unintentionally in the past two days.

"Yo, Bang Qing." As soon as he heard the tone of his words, Bai Shao knew that it was the Lu family who had come over again.

As the saying goes, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, the weasel doesn't have a good heart to give the chicken a New Year's greeting.

The Lu family can come to the door to find Bai Shao, it must have a purpose, so according to the number of etiquette, Bai Shao gave the Lu family half a salute, sat back in place, and continued to hold the book in his hand to read.

"Ouch, Bang Qing, why don't you ignore me? Don't you like me, if you don't like me, just say it, I won't bother you here. Lu Shi was a little angry with Bai Shao's attitude of ignoring him, and his tone of voice was much sharper.

Because she occupied the name of an elder in the end, Bai Shao couldn't refute her words directly no matter how polite she was, so she had to stand up and want to deal with her casually.

It was at this time that Ruan Shi walked in and said very politely, "If Aunt Lu knows that my Qingqing doesn't like you, you should take the initiative not to come here, you can't even see other people's faces clearly, Aunt Lu has lived in the belly of a dog for half her life." ”

To say that Ruan's family used to be a well-known lady, a beautiful temperament, and the daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion. But when protecting the girl, when you talk about it, you are not polite, and you don't pay attention to the elegance of the words, and the most important thing is to protect the girl.

"You ......" Lu Shi was angry at Ruan's words, and shouted sharply, "Is this what you should say to me?" The old lady has never said such insulting words to me in all these years, and you dare to say such a thing to me......"

"Why don't I dare say that to you?" Ruan Shi raised his willow eyebrows and said sharply, "Aunt Lu knows that my Qingqing doesn't like to be disturbed, but she still comes to my Qingqing's Bangxin Pavilion repeatedly, I still want to ask you, what is your purpose?" What do you want to do? ”

Lu Shi was shocked by Ruan's momentum, and took a few steps back in a hurry, looked left and right, and made sure that there was no one to help him speak, and immediately said a few words, and walked away.

Bai Shao looked at Ruan Shi and asked with a smile, "Mother, why are you here?" ”

"If your mother doesn't come, you're going to let this old thing be bullied." Ruan Shi looked at her with hatred and said, "These days, the Lu family has come to bother you, but you told me, do you know who she is?" In the past, she didn't come to you, but now she is coming over one by one, what is the purpose, don't you listen to it? A better user experience.
