"Cluck, cluck." In the side hall of the Eighteen Niang Wanshou Palace, I heard the clucking of hens outside the window. One rolled over, got up from the bed, pricked up his ears to listen to the surrounding movements, and quickly jumped out of the window.

Because the Empress Dowager Lin cultivated here, the Wanshou Hall was not only remote, but there were not even a few servants who served, and there were patches of farmland outside the window, planting some melons, fruits and vegetables.

There is also a chicken coop not far away, in which there are several chickens, these are the treasures of the Empress Dowager Lin.

Eighteen Niang gently jumped out of the wall, and saw that Li Ziqi was there "clucking, clucking", which made people laugh.

Seeing that Eighteen Niang was coming, Li Ziqi nodded, and the roots of his ears were red. He also wanted to learn how to bark cats and dogs, but who told Empress Dowager Lin that she only raised chickens......

"Let's talk about it later." This is not far from the city wall, Li Ziqi is the black feather guard, who is the guard of the Son of Heaven, and he is very familiar with the palace guards, and the two did not meet any guards along the way, and easily went out of the imperial city.

"Is there anything new about that man?" The two galloped all the way out of Chang'an City, and Li Ziqi pulled Eighteen to sit on a big tree by the river.

Li Ziqi nodded, "There is a good show tonight, it's a pity to miss it." ”

Although it is summer now, the river at night is still a little cool, and the plum period on the side feels like a cooked shrimp, and the heat is pressing.

After all, the two have to get along for a long time, and Eighteen Niang kindly didn't poke him.

This is the Cao Yun channel outside Chang'an City, Chang'an Eight Rivers extend in all directions, in order to transport all the grain treasures from all over the country to Chang'an, and also transport some special things in Chang'an to other places, among them, Cao Gang is responsible for the key part of transportation.

Whether it is the Chaohua Pavilion of the King of Chaohua or the Eighteen Niang's hands, it is necessary to deal with the Cao Gang.

After a while, both of them were attracted by the situation on the shore.

I saw a group of men dressed in short beats, carrying sacks of goods onto the ship, when suddenly a small man accidentally fell, and the corner of the sack was cut open by a sharp stone on the ground, revealing some white flower particles.

"It's private salt." Eighteen Niang looked at Li Ziqi in surprise, "Is this Mrs. Chaohua's boat?" I didn't expect her to smuggle smuggled salt. ”

Mrs. Chaohua's Chaohua Pavilion is very large, almost everything to make money and do anything, including all kinds of businesses, crowded with some small shops, almost no ability to survive.

It's just that she earns a lot and spends a lot, at the beginning of the establishment of Da Chu, everything was wasted, and the family waited and watched, and at that time, Mrs. Chaohua's money was not ordinary.

"The people's hearts are not enough, the stalls are too big, and the people under them are uneven. Now there are many people who are doing some unclean things under the sign of the king of Chaohua. ”

"Stinky boy, be careful, something is spilled, will you accompany you?" The big man who was standing on the side of the guard stepped forward angrily, and he was a leather whip at the little man, and he was scolding and scolding at the bottom, and he was very irritable.

At this moment, a handsome man came from not far away, wearing a gorgeous long tail brocade robe, holding a peacock feather fan in his hand, covering his face, and his body exuded a rich fragrance. At first glance, he is not a serious man.

When the head of the escort boat saw it this time, he was extremely vigilant, and the rest of the Cao Gang also picked up their knives and stared at them.

"Who's coming, report your name?"

The person who came pinched his nose in disgust, and said angrily: "King Chaohua asked me to send some rituals to Du Carrying the handle, let your people accept it, the sour smell makes me smell." ”

When the brother behind Du Biao heard this, he was about to burst out, Du Biao stretched out his hand to stop him, "I don't know if Lang Jun has a certificate?" ”

The angry man angrily picked up the jade plate on his waist and threw it at Du Biao.

Du Biao stretched out his hand to take it, rubbing it lightly with his fingers, and after a while, the jade changed color. Du Biao breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and returned the jade card.

The angry man waved his hand, but he didn't answer, but let the little guy on the side pick it up, wiped and wiped, and then let him tie it around his waist.

At this moment, even Du Biao doesn't have a good face. King Chaohua's taste is really unique, how could he fall in love with such a stinky boy.

I'm afraid it's beautiful! Du Biao wanted to take a closer look at the appearance of the person who came, but was blown by the fragrant wind of the peacock fan, and the whole person was crispy.

"Lang Jun, what did King Chaohua send?"

The man stretched out his hand, and the person behind him pushed up a small cart, which was covered with bright red silk, and when it was revealed, it turned out to be a brand-new Tang cannon.

Du Biao's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise: "Is this really given by King Chaohua?" ”

The angry man snorted coldly, "Except for the King of Chaohua, who in the world can make Tang Cannon?" I'll leave this thing to you, but don't use it casually, the king said, she's been in the limelight lately, in case someone is in the limelight, in case someone makes trouble, if this salt is discovered, decisively sink the ship, do you understand? ”

Du Biao nodded solemnly, and asked people to put away the Tang cannon and push it to the boat in front.

Fu smiled again: "King Chaohua is too worried, the person who dares to rob King Chaohua's ship has not yet been born." ”

Seeing that the matter was done, the angry man didn't want to talk nonsense with Du Biao, so he turned around and left with someone, leaving only a burst of aroma.

The brother behind Du Biao couldn't help jumping out and spitting: "Phew, a duck, what's there to be proud of." chirping. ”

Shen Banniang, who was hiding in the tree, saw it clearly, and was about to turn her head to speak, but she felt a hand touch her head.

She turned her head and just happened to crash into Li Ziqi's eyes, those blue eyes were like the most beautiful gems, shining gently in the moonlight.

"What's wrong?" Before they knew it, they were getting so close. Eighteen Niang quietly moved some away.

Li Ziqi looked at the top of her head and smiled, "There's a caterpillar, help you remove it." ”

When Eighteen Niang heard this, her center of gravity was unstable, and she was about to fall under the tree, Li Ziqi quickly reached out and pulled her hand, and pulled her back.

"I didn't expect that you were afraid of insects." Li Ziqi's voice was muffled, and he was holding back a smile at first glance.

"Fleshy, and hairy, why isn't it scary?" Eighteen Niang turned her head angrily and no longer looked at the plum period. After a while, I couldn't help but look at the big tree above my head to see if there were really bugs.

At this time, Li Ziqi tugged at her sleeve and pointed to the front again, the show is coming!

I saw a group of people coming, holding torches high, and quickly rushing towards this boat.

Du Biao threw down the things in his hand and shouted loudly: "Grandma's legs, Cao Yun is here, hurry up and start the boat." Throw all the goods that were not carried on the ship into the river. ”

The team of torches got closer and closer, and it was Xiao Che, the envoy of Cao Yun, who was the leader, and behind him was an old acquaintance, Zhang Wentian!

Although Zhang Wentian was a scholar, his hands and feet were very sharp, and he rushed over with three steps and two steps, and when he saw that the boat had already sailed away, he jumped into the water with a plop.

Xiao Che did not dismount, waved his big hand, and shouted: "Put the dinghy and chase me!" It is necessary to get the stolen goods together. ”
