Chapter 106: Border City

The mother and daughter talked for half a night, and when Zheng Qingluan woke up, it was already noon. After a hasty lunch, he arranged for someone to send Mama Fang to the county government with his letter, presumably Cao County Ling was happy to get close to the emperor's henchman. After dealing with this matter, she just let it go. What should have been explained last night has already been explained.

After a while, the four-room family of four also came over! It was a long time to kiss each other! Zheng Qingluan got up and went to the old house. She knew the things about the old house, and she didn't want to get involved, so she greeted the old man and the old lady, asked about the living and eating with concern, and got up to say goodbye. Because he brought Xiao Er Xiao Jiu, one hundred and one two, no one dared to stop him.

"Time is too tight, and I don't have time to go see your grandparents!" Qian complained.

"Later!" Zheng Qingluan really didn't expect this, after all, he came halfway, and his relationship with his uncle's family was really not intimate. Seeing that Qian was very disappointed, he smiled and said, "We were in a hurry all the way, and we didn't bring back a lot of things." There are also a lot of things prepared by the Xiao family, prepared by the eldest princess. The people who have entrusted the dart board, after a few days, the things will arrive, pick some good ones and send them to my uncle's house, it is my filial piety! Please forgive them!"

Qian was really happy. Only Zheng Qingju glanced at Zheng Qingluan, this is reluctant to do anything. Zheng Qingluan is already immune to her sister, and she really doesn't have the heart to fight them about this now.

For a while, Wang Xinghua also rushed back, and Zheng Qingluan explained the family affairs again, so he was relieved.

Before dawn the next day, Zheng Qingluan said goodbye to his family and rushed to the border city with people.

The further northwest you go, the more desolate it becomes. The summer sun scorched the earth, and the crops looked wilted and drooped in the ravines and fields, and the leaves curled up together. This is a barren land! Further on, the yellow sand fills the sky, and the water becomes more and more precious. Zheng Qingluan didn't stop, and finally rushed to the vicinity of the border city on the fifth day.

I didn't rush into the city, but camped directly outside the city, twenty or thirty miles away, by a small river. At this time, it was already dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun stained half of the sky red, and the boundless grassland seemed to be plated with a layer of gold. Man and the sky seem to be closer, and people's hearts have become opener. Zheng Qingluan stood outside the tent, and grasshoppers jumped on the grass under his feet from time to time. Zheng Qingluan sat on the ground and called Xiao Er over.

"I'll be in the city tomorrow!Is there any news from the city?" Zheng Qingluan handed over the errand of collecting news to Xiao Er, who was his confidential secretary.

"It's strange!" Xiao Er frowned and said, "I haven't received any news in the past three days. ”

"Hehe!" Zheng Qingluan chuckled twice, "Is this an intentional competition?"

"I just don't know who did it?" Xiao Er's face condensed, and he also realized that things might not be simple.

"That's a bit silly to ask!" Zheng Qingluan looked like he had expected it. "There is suddenly a mother-in-law like me above, no one will be happy! I want to rob other people's rights, but I don't want to make people uncomfortable! Normal!"

"They are all the generals of the Xiao family!" The cold light in Xiao Er's eyes flashed, "Those who betray the master, what's the use of keeping them!"

This is murderous!

Zheng Qingluan raised his eyebrows, "Don't be so extreme! Look at it! This is the same as taming horses." Whip it first, and then hit it with a hammer if you don't accept it, and if you don't accept it, you can slaughter it again!

Xiao Er was shocked and shocked! Didn't he say this to himself! Three days ago, he cut off the source of information, and he didn't report it in time, I'm afraid that people would have seen it a long time ago!

"Master forgive me!" Xiao Er hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty! He really just wanted to protect Miss Zheng's safety, as for these things, he naturally sent the news back to his master. He never thought that a girl's family could really handle such military affairs. But now he didn't dare to think so!

Zheng Qingluan confiscated his voice, so everyone heard the conversation between the two clearly. Busy put down what is at hand and stand up and listen to orders. She glanced at Xiao Er, "Don't take it as an example!" After signaling him to get up, she said, "From this moment on, you are soldiers! Obey orders, obey commands! Don't forget your identity." ”

After saying that, he got up and entered the tent. One hundred and one hundred and two waited for her to change into light clothes, "It'll be good to eat in a while! ”

"Don't worry!" Zheng Qingluan lay on the felt carpet, "Call Chu Jiu." "Chu Jiu is the deputy leader of the female guard, twenty-three or four-year-old age, and the most taciturn. He is as tall as a man and has dark skin, but he is very stable, and his skills are not below Xiao Er. Along the way, watching her set up sentry posts at night is also remarkable. Zheng Qingluan treats her coldly, and she doesn't see her complaining about anxiety, she is a calm person. I can't help but value it a little more. There is still a difference between her and Xiao Er. At least she has two hundred guards in her hands, although she is a female guard, but if she uses it well, she is also a miracle soldier.

The ninth day of the first month came quickly, "What does the master command?" she was dressed in a military uniform, and she had an alternative heroic atmosphere.

"Sit down and say!" Zheng Qingluan saw her hesitation, so he smiled and said, "I'll lie on the ground, look up at you, tired and panic! If you don't mind, just sit on the ground! We don't have such rules." ”

Chu Jiu glanced at Zheng Qingluan lying on the black felt carpet. A white power suit with a wide red belt. Embroidered with silver thread with water lines. With a pair of white and tender feet, it is indescribably good-looking. Chu Jiu sat down, she didn't dare to be careless.

"Except for the twenty people who followed, the rest of the nearly two hundred people, have they already arrived in the border city or nearby?" Zheng Qingluan asked softly.

"It's all in place!" Chu Jiu muttered, "Do you want to gather tomorrow!"

"No need! just stay put!" Zheng Qingluan instructed, "Let's be careful! disguise some people! A woman in Yishui, it's difficult not to attract attention!"

"Yes!" replied Chu Jiu.

"Ming'er has changed into an ordinary girl to serve. Zheng Qingluan smiled slightly, "Let everyone restrain the breath on their bodies, do you understand?"

"Understood!" Chu Jiu's heart moved, this is to show the enemy weakness!

"Go!" Zheng Qingluan was very satisfied with Chu Jiu, he didn't talk much, his execution was good, and he was not blindly inflexible. Xiao Yunfeng still has a very good way of selecting people.

The food in the wild, because of the embroidery and clever calculations, the food is still relatively smooth. There are no fresh vegetables, they are all wild vegetables freshly picked by two girls, pinched the tender leaves, copied with water, accompanied by sesame oil, it is a good dish. For people who eat jerky barbecue every day, the astringency and bitterness of wild vegetables are nothing at all.

At night on the prairie, there are dangers everywhere. The wolf's howl seemed to be in his ears. The tent blown by the wind at night was slamming, and Zheng Qingluan couldn't sleep well. Qiaosuan and Xiuyi lay on either side of her, and one hundred and two took turns to keep vigil, which could not reassure her.

When it was almost dawn, she listened to the sound of people outside getting up and walking, and she fell asleep.

Zheng Qingluan didn't have many clothes, so today she chose a tender yellow narrow waist and wide-sleeved jacket, tender green culottes, and a pair of thick-soled brown embroidered shoes. There is also a cumbersome bun on the head. It looks clear and bright, revealing two parts of weakness. The female guards are in white suits, and they don't look so sharp when they take off their armor. Zheng Qingluan nodded with satisfaction. Xiao Er and the others looked at each other, all thoughtful.

Horse racing on the grassland is different from other places. The sky is wide open, the horses are galloping, and it seems that in the blink of an eye, they have arrived at the border city.

It is a city built on the edge of the grassland. It seems to be much more prosperous than I imagined.

There are many people in different costumes who trade in various ways. The ethos also seems to be a little more open.

Even the war did not stop such trade.

Zheng Qingluan observed the people around him, and the others were not observing this group of people.

The girl on the horse is really indescribably good-looking. These men who have been in the army all the year round naturally have very few families, and most of them are bachelors. Can you not be excited when you see a group of women now? The eyes of the staring at people are hot! Especially the girl at the front, who is white and tender, and delicate, isn't this a crime? However, when I see that this girl's entourage is all extraordinary, it is obvious that they are not ordinary people, and no one dares to step forward and be presumptuous!

"Whose girl is that? Why have you never seen it?" Xiao Xinping fiddled with the dagger in his hand and asked his companion.

"I don't know! I'm afraid I'm here to visit relatives!" Li Xinning kept looking at that group of people, how to look at it is not simple.

"We have been here for generations, whose family's situation is not clear? It's not to visit relatives!" Xiao Xinping was surprised, "If you can marry such a daughter-in-law, you will be willing to die immediately!"

"You can pull it!" Li Xinning glanced at the other party, "I am also content to be able to marry a maid next to others!"

"Out of breath!" Xiao Xinping was disdainful, and he looked down on the other party's style of 'raising the morale of others and destroying his own prestige', "Our family background is also one of the best in this city!

"Family background, what family background?" Li Xinping sneered, "Don't forget that we are family generals and have masters!"

"Benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith!" Xiao Xinping smashed this mouth, "When it comes to our letter generation, it is already the fifth generation!

"Don't think about it!" Li Xinping whispered, "The news that I just arrived a while ago said that our little master was sent to the south. ”

"Hehe! what is my uncle and nephew!" Xiao Xinping said meaninglessly. Then he asked, "We're going to be left unattended?"

"That's not it!" Li Xinping smiled, "I heard that the female lady who has not yet passed the door has come to the border city, this is a female case leader! I don't know what it looks like? You say-" A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized something, and turned his head to look at Zheng Qingluan and his party.

How could Xiao Xinping not know the other party's speculation, and turned his eyes to Zheng Qingluan again, "My good man! Let's look like this! This is the heroine!"
