Twilight.

It's dusk again.

There was no sunset at dusk, but there was a drizzling rain.

Li Chenan and his entourage have entered Xiayuan Prefecture and are walking on the official road leading to Wuyaguan in Xiayuan Prefecture.

Leading the way in front was Zhou Zheng, the commander of the Xuanjia Battalion.

He rode his horse and looked at the thick clouds in the sky, thinking that there would be a heavy rain tonight.

It's best not to stay overnight in the wilderness.

Five miles further there was a caravanserais, in which the regent and his wives had to live.

With that in mind, he swung the whip in his hand and sped up.

The convoy in the rear is also getting faster.

The barking of dogs in the rear convoy also came and went, which became even more lively.

There are many business travelers on this official road.

After all, now that Wu and Ning are allies, and Ning has also opened up the boundless pass, although the two countries have not yet reached a tax plan at the official level, it has not affected the merchants of the two countries to start contacts.

The vast majority of these merchants came from Dongxu City.

These are big businessmen.

Therefore, their caravans are also quite large, and there are many guards of the dart division escorting the caravan.

They didn't know that this team was the convoy of the regent of Ning Kingdom, but they all got out of the way when they looked at the slaughtering black-armored cavalry!

A businessman is a businessman after all.

In front of the army, they had no choice but to retreat.

But they were all curious, thinking to themselves, aren't they all allies?

How can there still be an army moving forward...... There's no end to the way forward!

"Steward Xu, is this the Condor Army?"

In a carriage, a teenager opened the curtain and looked at the army and the convoy as they passed, and asked.

An old man in the carriage also looked at it and shook his head: "Young Master, this is not the Condor Army. ”

"But I heard that the Condor Army is not wearing black armor? In addition to the Condor Army, what other army in our Wu Kingdom wears this black armor? ”

"Young Master, the Condor Army is now in the four-tael stone camp outside Dongxu City."

"Didn't the master tell us before we left Kyoto? I am afraid that there will be a big change in the imperial court...... No, the East Palace, which has been around for more than ten years, is gone overnight. ”

"No one expected that the eldest prince, who had endured in Beifu for sixteen years, would turn over at the emperor's thought...... Therefore, at this time, it is impossible for the Condor Army to be able to leave the four-tael stone camp! ”

"Because General Hook almost became the father-in-law of His Royal Highness the Prince, where would the eldest prince let the Condor Army leave!"

"Oh......"

The drizzle drenched the boy's hair, but he didn't shrink his head, and his eyes shone in the rain.

"Steward Xu, I guess...... That was Ning Guo's convoy of that poet immortal Li Chen'an! ”

The housekeeper Xu was shocked and looked at the young man, "...... If so, if there is fate, it would be great if the young master could meet that poet immortal. ”

The young man retracted his head, looked at Steward Xu, and said with a smile: "Just because he is the regent of Ning Kingdom?" ”

Steward Xu nodded very seriously: "Zhuang Fu has done more business in Nanchu in Dongxu City over the years, and the master has been interested in the country over the years, but it is not easy to get a share of the domestic market." ”

"The Qi family holds the most profitable salt and iron, and the Yan family is the dominant company in the grain business."

"The vassal kings of various places have put their hands into the business of Caoyun, silk, tea, porcelain, etc."

"If you want to find an opportunity...... It's so hard! ”

"No, it just so happens that Wu and Ning are allied, and Ning is open and endless, and the regent wants the two countries to trade, and the emperor also nodded."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"The lord said that if you can seize this opportunity, the Zhuang Mansion will be able to occupy a place in the trade with Ning Guo, and you may be able to make the Zhuang Mansion go to the next level."

When this Young Master Zhuang heard this, he thought for a moment, and suddenly sighed:

"Hey...... I also want to share my father's worries, but after all, he is the regent of Ningguo, and his status is too high, how can I have the opportunity to meet him? ”

Steward Xu grinned and pointed to the back, "That cousin of the young master, isn't he going to Ningguo to seek a future?" ”

Young Master Zhuang was stunned: "The eighth floor of autumn? ”

"It's the young master on the eighth floor!"

"The young master on the eighth floor studied under Qiu Chen, didn't the young master on the eighth floor say it? Mr. Qiu, but Amu's father! ”

"And Amu is the regent's brother!"

"Young master, you went to invite your cousin on the eighth floor and asked him to come forward to recognize Amu...... Wouldn't this be able to get close to that regent, and our caravan would go to Ningguo, wouldn't this have a biggest backer? ”

Young Master Zhuang was suddenly, and his eyes lit up again:

"Great idea!"

"When I get to Wangjiayi, I'll talk to my cousin on the eighth floor."

He suddenly groaned for three breaths, and asked suspiciously:

"Steward Xu, if it's really the regent's convoy, you say...... What is he doing with so many dogs? ”

……

……

Wangjiayi is a rather large post station.

When war broke out at Boundless Pass, there were few merchants at this post station.

But after the alliance between Wu and Ning and the opening of the Boundless Pass in Ning, the number of people in this post station gradually increased.

They are businessmen with a keen sense of smell.

So much so that after Zhou Zheng led the team to Wangjiayi, the twenty inns here were all full.

The post officer was very apprehensive in his heart, after all, standing in front of him were extremely oppressive military masters!

Zhou Zheng did not embarrass the old post officer, and after consulting Li Chen'an, he led the team to an open place next to the post station.

Encamped, encamped.

A few hundred people rested in tents outside the inn.

Li Chenan did not rest.

Holding an oil-paper umbrella, he took Zhongli Ruoshui and the four daughters and walked towards the field not far away.

It was the third day of the seventh month.

The seedlings in the field have been sealed.

Zhongli Ruoshui's four daughters didn't know what Li Chenan was doing in the rain and running to the edge of the field.

Wu Qin was very curious, she had never walked on the ridges in the countryside in the rain like now, and she felt that even if it was muddy, it was quite poetic.

Xia Hua carried a sword on her back, a newly bought flute stuck in her waist, and a flower paper umbrella in her hand, looking at Li Chenan in surprise.

Li Chenan stood at the edge of the field, and after a while, he squatted down, and in the sight of the four beautiful girls, his hand reached into the field and tossed the nearby seedlings.

"The row spacing and plant spacing are too dense!"

Saying this, he simply put away the umbrella and put it aside, put his hands in, gestured left and right, and then took out a handful of mud!

Wu Qin and the others suddenly widened their eyes-

Li Chen'an's hand rubbed the pitch-black mud, and he actually held the mud to his nose and sniffed deeply!

He frowned.

I put my hands in the field again and washed them.

Qiu Balou and that Young Master Zhuang happened to come over.

Of course, he was still a few feet away from Li Chen'an before he stopped.

Because Xiao Baozi looked at him at this time, the light in his eyes was not friendly.

Qiu Balou and the young master Zhuang held an umbrella and watched from a distance, and their faces were also full of doubt.

"Cousin, did we recognize the wrong person?"

Qiu Balou shook his head: "Xia Hua is there, how could it be wrong!" ”

"Oh...... Cousin, what do you think he is doing here? ”

Qiu Balou shook his head again, he didn't know what Li Chenan was doing in the field.

Could it be that this poet immortal of Ningguo, he still farms?

If so...... Qiu Balou grinned, and felt that he was thinking too much.

At this moment, an old farmer wearing a hat happened to walk towards the edge of the field.

The old peasant saw the people on the ridge from a distance, and he stopped and opened his mouth in astonishment.

He didn't look at Li Chen'an more, he looked at those four beautiful girls!

At this moment, he knew that it must be a young lady from a big family or a high-ranking official.

Can't afford to mess with it!

He was about to turn around, but was stopped by Li Chenan:

"Uncle......!"

"Stay!"

Qiu Balou was taken aback again.

This regent, it seems to be a little interesting.

What does he want to do?
