"Why are there so many barracks outside the city?" There are still three or five miles away from the Suzaku City, looking at the towering towers of the Suzaku City from afar, looking towards both sides of the official road, but you can see many camp tents standing on the open field.

Curling smoke rose from the camp, and a few sounds of fighting could be faintly heard, Leng Zhuo couldn't help but turn his head and asked Chen Nanyue on the side.

"There's no fuss, most of these are soldiers and horses recruited by the nobles in the city, my battalion is also there, the newly recruited soldiers always have to practice before they can go to war, it's almost night, and when you look at it during the day, it's noisy everywhere, it's also lively."

"By the way, wait for your barracks to be set up near my area, I have a good location there, there is a river nearby, and it is an upstream land, and next to it is a small forest, you don't have to worry about eating, lighting a fire to keep warm, as for the food, eat my camp first, and when you turn back, you let people transfer some more in the city." ”

"Then Sheila"

"Hehe, thank you, these are all thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to pull this soldier, damn it, you don't know, everything in the city is dead and expensive right now, if it weren't for the family to reserve some in advance, the soldiers of this battalion alone would have to eat me hundreds of gold every day"

"Oh, is the price of grain rising very high?" The grain price in Nanxing Mansion is still stable, after all, Chuzhou is a large grain-producing state, although the army is mobilized and it is a large-scale recruitment, but according to Chuzhou's grain output should not be enough.

"It's not a big rise, it's just a turnover, but it seems that there are still signs of rising," Chen Nanyue said.

"It's doubled, why has it risen so much, there should be a lot of food in Suzaku City."

"It's a lot, but most of them can't be eaten, oh, by the way, you may not know, the group of grandsons of his mother's Pang family is simply a group of rats, most of the granaries in the Vermilion Bird City have been eaten empty, and they are sold for profit, and the rest are also because of loose management, dampness, all of them are fucking moldy, and the rice that entered the warehouse this year has been transferred to the front line, if it weren't for a defeat in the front, and the loss of grain and grass, urging us, they really fooled the past. ”

"And now in the city?"

"It's jubilant, my father is also serious this time, the Pang family will be severely punished for saying anything this time, but the Huang family is involved, so there is no decision" Chen Nanyue said, "It's here, let's turn over there, my camp will be set up over there first, let's go to the city to drink"

There is no need for Leng Zhuo to work hard for this kind of thing of camping, he chose a place and set up camp, Chen Nanyue asked people to bring rice and grain, cattle and sheep and firewood, and after solving this problem, the sky was already dark, and the group quickly went straight to the city, rushed to the front of the door, and entered the city.

Chen Nanyue has chartered a place with an elegant environment, called Luoxue Pavilion, which is not the kind of place that opens the door to attract guests, but a private residence dedicated to entertaining dignitaries.

"This is here?" Leng Zhuo followed Chen Nanyue into an alley, the walls on both sides were towering, but it was far away from the hustle and bustle of the street, but this place didn't look like a restaurant or a flower building, it was more like this guy's outhouse.

Chen Nanyue turned over and dismounted, walked up the steps, knocked on the courtyard door, and said with a smile: "Qing Yuan, it's different from the kind of restaurant on the street, just go in and you'll know, this place is no worse than the wine and food of those famous restaurants, the most important thing is quiet, and it's easy to talk."

Leng Zhuo also turned over and dismounted, but at this time, the locked small door revealed a gap, revealing a delicate little face: "Lord Chen, please come in if you are here"

Chen Nanyue beckoned Leng Zhuo to walk in, the area of this courtyard is not large, but it is extraordinarily exquisite, a big snow plum tree stands next to the path, the snow white on it, pink plum petals dot the small courtyard, and from the end of the short corridor, a two-story building, a few pieces of light shine in the courtyard, lining the snow plum in the wind.

At the main entrance, a woman in a snow-white plain skirt stood next to the door, greeted the two of them, and smiled: "Lord Chen, this is the guest you want to entertain."

"Well, let's put all the prepared food and drinks on the table."

"It's Xiaoya, I'm going to tell the kitchen to serve the food, the two of you are invited to sit inside, and you haven't asked this person yet?"

Chen Nanyue was obviously very familiar with this place, entered the house, let someone help take off the armor on his body, and said with a smile: "This is not an ordinary person, in addition to talking about the war in the north on the street recently, I am afraid that he is the one who has the most."

"Could it be that the young marquis, the peaceful marquis of the Weeping Blood Castle" The delicate woman was slightly surprised and looked at Leng Zhuo carefully, but said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is heroic and extraordinary, and the bearing is superb, I can get the peace of the marquis, and my Luoxue Pavilion can be regarded as a flourishing flower."

"Heh, there is no need to say more polite words, I will ask Qin Yao to play a few more songs, just dance"

"The lord is really, but the Marquis of Peace is here, this song and dance is always wanted, I'll arrange it"

"It seems that the Hou Ye of the family still has a big face, but I have come here several times, but I have not been able to get my wish, Chu Niang, you are partial."

"This is not your lord, your fame is outside, you also know that Miss Qin Yao is just settling down with me, and it depends on her mind if she can't get out, and I can't force her out."

took off his coat, changed into light clothes, felt a lot more comfortable, and sat on the soft couch chair, Leng Zhuo turned his head and said, "Look at you like this, are you inviting me to drink, or are you here to soak in women?"

"Of course it's drinking, in fact, I haven't been a woman for a long time, and I've been in the barracks all day long, but this time I'm ready to make some real achievements."

Chen Nanyue said, took a sip of tea, and said: "But this time, if you can see that Qin Yao dancing, it will be even more beautiful, hehe, you don't know, this Qin Yao doesn't look young, but the name is not small, Yangzhou City Twenty-four Bridge Flower Building, last year's triennial Oiran competition, this Qin Yao is the total Oiran, it is said that she danced for nine days in the clouds, but squeezed the audience, and all the famous names were pressed down at once."

"Oh" Yangzhou Twenty-four Bridge Flower Building is famous in the whole empire, and the women in it are even more top-notch, appearance, figure, conversation and demeanor, and skills are all superior, especially those top-brand Oiran, and it costs a thousand gold to meet each other.

Leng Zhuo also wanted to see it a little, the wine and food were obviously almost made in advance, and they were served one after another in a few moments, Leng Zhuo was also in a hurry for a day, and he was already hungry and ate.

While eating Leng Zhuo, he also said: "The battle over there in Xiangfan is together, and the matter of the northern attack on Zhongzhou is afraid to be Huang, your father is the recruit of this Northern Expedition, do you have any plans?"

Chen Nanyue took a sip of wine and said: "What else can I plan, naturally I have to level Xiangfan against the king first, as for attacking Zhongzhou, I estimate that there is no play, and the Huang family and those lackeys of his family are also dragging their feet, don't look at my father being appointed as a recruiter, but he is still elbowing everywhere, this time the problem of grain and grass is just a fuse."

"Oh, is your father going to turn against the Huang family of Jingnan Hou?"

"Even if you don't want to turn it over, you have to turn it over, my father has mastered the military power of Chuzhou this time, those people in the Huang family are stumbling everywhere, the army is out of the house, and the logistics must not be sloppy, otherwise something must happen, this is related to my Chen family, how can the grain and grass logistics be controlled, so even if it is to turn the face, you have to grab it, and you have to get some money and food rights, otherwise this battle will not be able to fight"

Leng Zhuo heard this, but nodded, this kind of thing is a war, it is logistics, logistics is not smooth, even if you have the ability to be powerful, you can't play flowers, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, a day people eat horses and feed is not a small number, if at a critical moment, drag you down, it is really fatal.

"Actually, when you come this time, my father also wants to ......" Chen Nanyue had just said half of her words, when suddenly from behind the screen on one side, there was a clanging sound, and a few women came out of the four places, blowing out a few animal oil lamps in the house, and a few night pearls replaced the lights, emitting a soft halo.

The light in the room suddenly dimmed, and from the staircase, suddenly a figure fell, and the colorful neon dress dance skirt opened, like a blooming flower, fluttering in the wind, and the snow-white white silk was wrapped around the body, like a swimming white dragon.

In the dim light, that Qin Yao fell like a fairy of the Nine Heavens, the music sounded again, the sound of silk and bamboo, and the sound of Qin Zheng sounded in the ears, and the people in the audience were dancing when they heard the sound.

In the soft light of the night pearl, this Qin Qiong's ungrateful dance is like a noble and graceful swan, spreading its wings and dancing, and it is like a red-crowned crane standing in a pavilion, making people drunk in that dance.

Leng Zhuo looked at the woman, but frowned slightly, because in the other party's dance, there seemed to be a spiritual ripple constantly emanating out, and glanced at Chen Nanyue, who was fascinated on the side, Leng Zhuo somewhat understood why this girl would win the chief oiran of Yangzhou Twenty-four Bridges.

This girl is a master of using spiritual power, her dance is mixed with spiritual charm, and it is untraceable, this charm is not threatening, so even some strong people are difficult to detect, and when they are intoxicated with appreciation, they will be affected by this spiritual charm unconsciously.

Leng Zhuo looked at this girl, her face and posture were not bad, and she was also a superb beauty, but the charm of this body was not so ordinary, and a woman who could cultivate this kind of exercise would fall into the dust?

Leng Zhuo pretended to be intoxicated with singing and dancing, but he was thinking quickly in his mind, because he was a little unsure of the purpose of this girl, the other party should not be here for him, but her goal? Leng Zhuo frowned slightly, but he was a little unclear.
