Lanyue City is as lively as ever, with an endless stream of pedestrians walking around the long street, and from time to time there are merchants carrying goods shouting loudly and shuttling through. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Four carriages pulled heavy boxes and stopped next to the side door of Yinyue Xuan in Hongfu Inn, and when the people inside opened the door, the convoy slowly entered.
When Xiaobao arrived in the city, he hired two more wagons and put the things on the raft on the wagons and transported them here.
"Mingyue Xuan's shopkeeper Hong Ju has seen Lord Wang, all the maidens, and Lord Baizhu!" A woman in her forties knelt on the ground with seven or eight small servants and saluted everyone.
The girls hurriedly helped her up, Xue Ruo blushed and hugged her arm and said, "Why is Aunt Ju still polite to me, Xue Ruo is what you grew up watching!"
Hong Ju laughed, pinched her face and said, "But now that you have grown up, you have become a military advisor of the archers, and this is outside, if my old woman doesn't understand the rules, she won't be laughed at!"
Xiao Dou Sprouts said excitedly: "I can't imagine the place we are looking for, it is opposite the Hongfu Inn! I think we lived in the inn opposite back then, and we almost fought with the officers and soldiers!"
Que Wu hurriedly made a silent gesture to her, and whispered: "Don't be too loud! Be careful that the prince of Zhenjiang will send officers and soldiers to arrest you again!"
Everyone laughed, and the faces of the Thirteen Taibao also showed a look of memory.
At the beginning, everyone also became attached to Xiaobao here, and followed all the way to the Styx, this year's kung fu has undergone such a huge change, everyone's identity is very different from before, and the mood is completely different from before!
Hongju said to everyone: "Let's go to the room, the hot water for bathing is ready, the food will be delivered immediately, and everyone can eat it after taking a bath." ”
Everyone thanked them, and just like in Yuezhou, they chose their own rooms, and then went in to take a bath. Xiaobao stayed in the courtyard and stopped Hongju. "Aunt Ju, Xiaobao has something to ask!"
"Don't be polite, if you have any needs, just tell Hongju!" Hongju politely saluted Xiaobao.
Xiaobao asked her in a low voice, "Has there been any movement in Lanyue City in the past two days?"
Hong Ju hurriedly shook his head and said, "After receiving a letter from the eldest lady and the shopkeeper sisters, Hong Ju has also been paying attention to the movements on the yamen side since yesterday, and everything is normal!"
Is there anything abnormal? Hu Mei has not yet arrived? Or has he not informed the local government at all? Xiao Bao guessed that the first possibility is a little bigger, Yin Hu deposed the princess first, and then arrested his daughter, and decided to put Hu Mei in the Fuhu Gang Prison after the arrest of Hu Ya, plus the detour from Kyoto to Lanyue City is much farther than to Yuezhou, it is likely that the team escorting Hu Mei has not yet arrived!
"Since the prince has important things to do, then I will tell my sister not to keep an eye on these two places, and tell the prince as soon as there is a situation!"
Xiaobao nodded hurriedly: "Then it's troublesome Aunt Ju, I need to monitor day and night, Aunt Ju helps me choose reliable people, don't worry about remuneration!"
Hongju hurriedly saluted: "Don't talk like this, it is an honor for us and other people of Mohuan to be able to serve your lord!" By the way, my lord, I received a flying pigeon biography yesterday, the pigeon is ours, but the letter is not from my Mohuanguo, there is a seven-color flag symbol, guess it should be an adult's!"
Xiaobao's face changed greatly, and he looked at Hongju in surprise and said, "Aunt Ju, please take out the letter and let me see it!"
Hongju didn't dare to slack off, first put Xiaobao in the middle of the big room, then turned around and walked out, and after a while, he brought a thin bamboo tube, about an inch long, and the wax seal on his head had not been removed.
"It may be the prince's secret, so Hongju and the sisters did not check it without permission, and the carrier pigeon is also being properly fed, please rest assured!" Hongju gently placed the iron cylinder on Xiaobao's hand.
Xiao Bao looked at the seven-colored banner on the bamboo tube, and his heart was full of excitement! Even if he didn't open it, he already understood the origin of this letter!
"Aunt Ju, I really thank you so much!" In view of the importance of this letter, Xiaobao was so excited that he didn't know what to say! This is the first time that Styx Lake has sent carrier pigeons to the Central Plains, and I don't know how many sacrifices have been sacrificed before one finally arrives, and this one will definitely become the biggest contributor to the communication between Styx Lake and the Central Plains!
Hongju had already retreated, and everyone in the finch dance had comfortably finished their bath and changed into clothes. Although I had washed in the river in the morning, the river water was certainly not as clean as the water in the city, and the smell of sludge on my body was completely washed away, and the whole person became refreshing and refreshed, and I was in a good mood!
All the women gathered in the big room and were ready to eat, but it was a little strange to see the bamboo pipe on the table in front of Xiaobao. Little bean sprouts climbed onto his lap, held the bamboo pipe and said curiously, "Brother, what is this?"
Xiaobao smiled and said, "It's a letter!"
Little Bean Sprouts shook it in his ear with a bamboo tube, and there was something inside, he looked at the wax seal, and asked him curiously, "Who got the letter?" Why don't you open it?"
Xiaobao said excitedly: "I'm waiting for you to come and open it together! Because this letter is very meaningful to us, we can also contact the Central Plains in the Styx Lake in the future! Just like Tongyao and the shopkeepers of these shops, we can also train carrier pigeons to deliver messages!"
"Great!" the women also knew the significance of this incident, and they all applauded. Diexuan couldn't wait to say: "Hurry up and open the bamboo tube and see who sent the letter!"
The little bean sprouts couldn't wait for a long time, and quickly peeled off the wax seal with their little hands, but they still didn't open it after working for a long time! This kind of wax seal should have been soaked directly in wax oil, so that the entire bamboo tube was sealed with wax oil, so that it was not afraid of rain.
Die Xuan rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let me come!" Mo Xiaodao smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll come, everyone will only see the ashes if you do it!"
Everyone laughed together, Die Xuan also knew that his hands were heavy, so he had to shrink his hand and stand aside, with a wave of his right hand of the knife, everyone only felt that the cold light flashed in front of them, and the bamboo tube on the table had been split in half!
"Wow, Sister Xiaodao, your knife skills have improved again!" Lan Ye Santong clapped their hands together, their eyes full of admiration.
The knife waved at them, each of them scratched his nose, and said with a smile: "Little one, why is your mouth so sweet, and there is no sugar to eat!
Inside the bamboo tube was a small roll of sheepskin, and the knife was picked up and handed to Xiaobao. He lives at home, so he must eat first, and if there is a letter, he must be seen first, which is the rule.
Xiaobao took it and slowly spread it out, and there were only four words on the sheepskin, which was not as big as a palm: "Enter Yunnan Ping'an!" The narrator also drew an eye and an ear.
"What does this mean?" You Meng'er and Jin Yanzi glanced at each other inexplicably, completely unable to understand the meaning of the letter.
Que Wu and Wei'er cried out in surprise: "It's Yuan Jiu and Xia Fei!" Die Xuan's face changed, he looked at Xiao Bao and said, "I also understand, Yuan Jiu and Xia Fei went to Fengdian City! You promised to take them out of the Styx Lake, but you let them part ways with us when they were in the Immortal Gathering, and it turned out that you arranged for them to go to Fengdian City!"
Xiaobao nodded, smiled and said to the women: "Our way, it is impossible to arrive calmly and smoothly, if we follow our footsteps to reach Fengdian, then I don't know how much time it will take! Yuan Jiu and Xia Fei's ability is just enough to help the military division, so I will take advantage of the fact that the battle has not yet started, and arrange for the two of them to go directly to Fengdian to find Senior Brother Wuying and Senior Sister Yunshang." Looks like they've found someone, and they've made contact with Styx, borrowed carrier pigeons, and sent us a message!"
Hearing the news that the senior brothers and sisters were all safe and sound, the third concubine of Huang Ye also jumped and jumped excitedly, some of the other sisters didn't know the people they were talking about, but as long as they were Xuanjun's people, they were Aiwu and Wu, and they were all happy for them!
Only Huya looked lonely, standing closest to the door, as if all the excitement had nothing to do with her, and there was a sad and lonely look in his eyes.
Since being slapped by Diexuan, she is like a different person, she hasn't said a word all day, and her eyes are not as active as before, as if she has become someone she doesn't know at all!
Looking at other people's eyes with strangeness and fear, she is always alone at a distance from everyone, and she ignores even Xiaobao talking to her.
The palm of her hand was warm, but Ximei next to her was looking at her with a smile, and said to her softly: "You should wear more clothes, your palms are very cold, you were drenched in the rain last night, you may have a cold!"
Huya's eyes were warm, and he just wanted to speak, but he still closed his mouth, forcibly withdrew his hand from Ximei's palm, didn't say a word, turned around and walked out of the door.
Diexuan also turned her head, looked at Ximei with disgust and said, "Sister Ximei, don't pay attention to her!
Xiaobao shook his head, sighed and said to Diexuan: "Don't be too harsh on others, everyone's living environment is different, so the character they develop will not be the same." She has grown up in the palace since she was a child, and she has always been served by people, and her downfall is also a matter of the past few days, how can she change so quickly! Give her a little more time, and more importantly, give her a little more tolerance! Huya is not a bad person!"
Diexuan still wanted to refute, but Que Wu frowned and pulled her, Diexuan closed her mouth, and stopped talking!
The Thirteenth Taibao set up a table in the courtyard, and boxes of meals were delivered from the front door, and all of them were placed on the table.
At this moment, it is dusk, the fragrance of wine and food is diffused in the courtyard, everyone sits down in turn, everything is the same as the scene in the Yuezhou Jewel Pavilion, but now it has been replaced by Lanyue City!
Hongju toasted everyone, and just about to drink the first glass, a tall and big guy suddenly ran in from the front door and shouted at Hongju: "Shopkeeper, it's so lively outside, go and see!"
Hong Ju lowered her face and scolded at the little guy: "Sister Tie, when will you change your habit of shouting and making fun?
Sister Tie hurriedly apologized to everyone, and said with a sneer: "I'm sorry everyone! But the shopkeeper, there is a convoy of prisoner cars outside, which is going to the county office, and I heard that it is from the capital!"
"What?" said Poop, putting the glass back on the table. And the tiger tooth next to him put the chopsticks in the bowl in front of him with a "bang", and then bounced to the ground, and the whole person trembled!
