Chapter Ninety-Five: Wind and Snow Journey

Qin Mingyue has been on the road non-stop in the carriage for almost a month. First from the river province to the province of Gan. Then, he went deep into the hinterland of Gan Province and entered the formation of the fourth division. After destroying the formation, he marched to Zhili Province non-stop.

Today, it has reached the junction of the two provinces. The time also reached winter, and the canals were frozen. Therefore, you can't take a boat, you can only sit in the carriage, but fortunately there is a charcoal basin in the carriage, but it is not cold.

Qin Mingyue lifted the thick cotton curtains on the carriage and saw Xiao Rui riding a horse outside, wearing an ordinary leather jacket and looking very energetic. Qin Mingyue said to Chunyin: "I don't need you to serve here, you go and call the Yun family sisters and you to take turns to warm up in the carriage behind for a while." Although their sisters are strong in martial arts, they are young after all and cannot be cold. Also, you invite His Royal Highness King Qin into the carriage, I have something to tell him. ”

Chunyin hurriedly responded, lifted the door curtain and went out. It brought a cold wind to the carriage.

After a while, Xiao Rui came to the carriage with a smile: "Well, yes, it's still quite warm here." Mingyue, you should be in a hurry, right? It's been another long journey. However, we still have two days to go to the Shuttle Valley, so you can bear with it. When the things in the Suozi Valley are done, we can leave for the capital. From the Suozi Valley to the capital, it was only six or seven days to take a carriage. ”

Qin Mingyue stretched out her hand and patted the snowflakes off Xiao Rui's clothes and said, "It's cold outside, you don't have to ride a horse all the time, we have so many carriages anyway, you let the guards take turns to ride in the carriage to warm up." ”

Xiao Rui said: "I know that you love your subordinates, especially your female guards, who are all delicate girls. So, I had already arranged for them to work in shifts, with one-third in the carriage and two-thirds on horseback. Come on your wheel, you won't freeze. Besides, those of us who have kung fu on our bodies are not afraid of freezing. Let's just talk about me, in fact, if it weren't for the role of a businessman, I wouldn't have worn this bulging leather jacket at all. I'm already a martial artist, and I don't invade the cold and heat, where can I wear a leather jacket? ”

Qin Mingyue said: "Hey, I really envy you martial artists, I can't, although the Dao has improved again, it is already the second level of the second realm, but it is still the same as the physique of ordinary people." A little bit stronger at best. ”

Xiao Rui said: "Don't you boxing every day? That set of forging methods is the forging method that has been passed down for a long time by your national teacher, slowly, but it is not bad to stick to it for a long time. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "I have always insisted on this. In my previous life, I had so many bad things, but my body has always been very good, which may be related to this forging method. ”

Xiao Rui looked at Qin Mingyue with a smile. The inside of the carriage was warm, Qin Mingyue came out this time, it had been more than a month, and she had not worn a priest's robe once. It's always been the dress of an ordinary merchant girl. Today, I am wearing a pink butterfly wearing a floral chain jacket, and below it is a leather skirt with a cyan satin surface. He also has a hand cage on his hand. Now, the national mourning has passed, and the people have passed on their bright clothes. However, Xiao Rui was still wearing a stone blue satin jacket, and Qin Mingyue knew that this was what Xiao Rui meant by the deceased Queen Mother.

Qin Mingyue said: "Xiao Rui, last time, in the formation of Ganzhou, Lord Xuangui said that the next formation was in the Lock Valley of Zhili Province. At that time, we decided to go directly to Zhili Province in one go. Anyway, it's a drop-by, but it's just one more turn on the road. Removing a scourge is one. Now it looks like the Chain Valley is coming. I don't know what happened to Zeng Yukun? ”

Xiao Rui said: "I received the news an hour ago. Zeng Yukun: They had already arrived in the capital seven days ago. My father and your master have already arranged it. As soon as the two of us entered the palace, we were sent to you by my father and the emperor to pick up the stars. There are eyeliners everywhere in the palace, but your Star Picking Tower is under the control of the national teacher, and it is much simpler. Father said to the outside, when we were patrolling outside, you and I had made progress in Taoism and martial arts, so we were sent to the Star Picking Tower for a period of retreat. Although people from all walks of life were interested in probing the situation of the two of us, they couldn't enter the Star Picking Tower, so they had to give up. So, our whereabouts haven't been leaked yet. ”

"However, Zeng Yukun has already reported the situation in Ba Province this time, as well as some things along the way to the imperial court. My father left the recital unpublished, probably because he wanted to wait for us to go back. ”

"Zeng Yukun has already started to do things for you in the capital. Because the capital has begun to sell all kinds of granges, shops, houses, etc. Your big brother is also buying. You don't have to worry about it. ”

Qin Mingyue nodded and said: "The national funeral has passed, presumably, many families in the capital have begun to say goodbye, set a marriage, and even marry." The marriage of my eldest brother and Qin Mingzhu is also on the agenda. My parents were not counting on people, and my grandmother was uncertain, and I didn't know what they were doing. ”

Xiao Rui said: "I believe your eldest brother will handle these things." You don't have to worry about it. The key is to have enough silver. Didn't you give enough silver? ”

Qin Mingyue nodded. Think about it, as long as you have money, what else can't you do?

Letting go of this thought, she asked, "Is there any news of my Taoism?" ”

Xiao Rui said: "The Taoism of Ba Province has been established. Students have even been studying for months. Lake Province also began. Even River Province started the latest, and it has also begun to recruit students. ”

Qin Mingyue smiled and said, "Well, when I return to the capital, I will inherit the position of national teacher." When the time comes, the leaders of the world's Taoist sects will come. We have thirty-two provinces in the Great Zhou. I would like to take this opportunity to start Taoism in all 32 provinces. That's a lot of money. Thirty-two provinces, excluding Ba Province, River Province, Hu Province, and twenty-nine provinces, each province has 100,000 taels of silver, which is 2,900,000 taels of silver, where can I get it? ”

Xiao Rui suddenly laughed.

Qin Mingyue was surprised: "People are worried here, why are you still laughing if you don't say that you want to help?" ”

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "I have a good idea here, but I'm just afraid that if I say it, my father will beat me." ”

Qin Mingyue asked strangely, "What's the matter?" Why did the emperor want to beat you? ”

Xiao Rui said: "We don't have enough money, isn't it because we are all buying properties in the capital? Where did these industries come from? Didn't your father copy it? All this money went to my father's treasury. This time, my father made a lot of money. I estimate that there are 20 million taels of silver, to say the least. When the time comes, I will give you two or three million taels of silver, what is it? ”

Qin Mingyue's eyes couldn't help but light up.
