Leaving Peach Blossom Town, the two continued to walk forward non-stop.

He Xiaoqiao still had injuries on his feet, so naturally he took two steps and took a step, Jiang Fenghao didn't complain at all, and slowed down his pace with his hands behind his back leisurely to accompany her.

In the summer, the sun was already big, He Xiaoqiao had never been far away, and he was walking with two injured feet, supporting him for a morning, and finally couldn't help but stumble, all kinds of stars and birds in front of him, if it weren't for Jiang Fenghao's eyes and quick hands to hold her arm, she would have jumped on the ground and gnawed on the mud at this time.

OO he's a XX, I knew I wouldn't be so impulsive to go out, let's go back to the mountains if she dies......

"Drink some water, feel better."

Helping He Xiaoqiao to sit under the tree, Jiang Fenghao untied the water bag and handed it to He Xiaoqiao, and then reached out to probe her forehead.

Fortunately, it was just a little sweating, and there was no fever, so it was estimated that it was heat stroke.

"It's because I'm not thinking about it, you haven't been far away, you shouldn't be in such a hurry." Sitting down beside her, Jiang Fenghao plucked a wheat straw from the side and threw it into his mouth and bit it, "If you are not in a hurry to run away in the morning, you should buy a horse to travel." ”

He Xiaoqiao had an epiphany and then burst into tears: Uncle, isn't there still a horse and carriage that can be used? What kind of bastard do they want to walk all over the world on their feet...... Sure enough, both of them had the same donkey kicked in the head!

Jiang Fenghao saw He Xiaoqiao's depressed expression, and hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry about the lady, there is no horse to travel, and there is still a husband." ”

He Xiaoqiao was wondering what he meant, Jiang Fenghao was already squatting down with his back to her with a smile, turned his head sideways and nodded his shoulder with his hand, "Come on, come on your husband's back, let your husband carry you, so that your feet won't hurt." ”

“……”

There was silence, and just when Jiang Fenghao thought why Xiao Qiao would kick him, a pair of slender women's arms came up around his neck, and then his back was warmed-He Xiaoqiao simply lay on his back.

Feeling that Jiang Fenghao's body seemed to stiffen, He Xiaoqiao grinned, and the awkwardness in his heart immediately disappeared a lot.

It turns out that this kid doesn't seem to be as open as he seems, trying to scare her? Hmph, let's see who has the last laugh!

"What? Aren't you going to carry me on your back? Why don't you hurry up? ”

Jiang Fenghao paused, heard the ridicule in He Xiaoqiao's words, raised his two sword eyebrows, and then reacted with both hands back to support her legs, stood up with crooked eyebrows, and said flatteringly, "Okay, guest officer, sit down, let's go!" ”

Because of Jiang Fenghao's free human transportation, the distance between the two was much faster, and He Xiaoqiao was happy to be carried by him, while looking at the scenery, he straightened his waist and raised his hand with leaves the size of an umbrella to shield the two of them from the scorching sun.

When it was almost evening, the two stopped at the edge of a small bamboo forest, He Xiaoqiao had just slipped off Jiang Fenghao's back, and he heard the sound of fluttering in his ears, and when he looked up, he just saw two gray pigeons flying overhead, and his saliva came down on the spot.

Roast pigeon, salt and pepper pigeon, air pot pigeon, mushroom pigeon, cloud leg pigeon soup...... What a wonderful dinner!

"Jiang Fenghao, hurry, hurry! Catch those two pigeons! ”

Jiang Fenghao moved when he heard the sound, plucked onions on dry land, grabbed the bamboo and chased forward with strength. When he returned, he had two more pigeons with small eyes open and panicked.

He Xiaoqiao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to swallow them immediately.

In the morning, I left in a hurry, and I didn't buy the roast chicken and sauced beef that I was supposed to buy, and the two of them only had dry food left in their bags that was difficult to swallow, and they barely ate a little food at noon, and the result was that their throats and stomachs were uncomfortable for a long time.

It is when the stomach is hungry and growling, when you see the meat that is sent to the door, how can you let them go?

At the moment, the two cooperated happily in the division of labor, Jiang Fenghao was responsible for defluting the pigeons and disemboweling, and He Xiaoqiao was responsible for picking up the firewood and bonfire.

In a few moments, the two of them successfully got a fat pigeon in their hands, skewered it with a branch, and roasted it on the fire with their faces salivaed.

The sun had taken its last rays, and the bonfire on the ground glowed orange, enveloping the two of them.

He Xiaoqiao turned the branch in his hand while holding a small brush to brush sesame oil and salt on the pigeon.

Jiang Fenghao touched her chin with one hand, which had grown a cyan beard, stared at her appearance of roasting pigeons seriously for a long time, and then turned his gaze to the bottles and cans on the ground, "Lady, do you bring so many spices with you every time you go out?" ”

"Just this time." Motioning to Jiang Fenghao to help take over the pigeon in her hand, He Xiaoqiao didn't raise her head, picked and chose among the wild fruits she picked just now for a while, took the most sour taste from it, squeezed it and squeezed out the juice, mixed it with the wild honey in another bottle, mixed it and applied it to the pigeon meat, "Originally, it was just just in case, but I didn't expect it to come in handy - food without seasoning can't be called food at all, I don't want to wronged my stomach." Isn't life in the world just a happy life? ”

He Xiaoqiao said seriously, and his subordinates were not idle, and they brushed the pigeons with sesame oil and honey several times, and soon a peculiar smell of meat filled the air, which made the greedy insects in people's stomachs even cry.

"Live a good life......"

Jiang Fenghao repeated in a low voice, his already ugly face was even more hideous in the firelight, but fortunately, He Xiaoqiao had long been used to it, so nothing such as slowing down his heartbeat or screaming in a lost voice at a glance had happened.

Retrieving the pigeon that had been roasted in the fire to a golden butter shiny, Jiang Fenghao hooked the corners of his mouth and took a bite, "It's really happy!" ”

Although there is no soy sauce flavor, the roast pigeon version of the difficult version has a unique flavor, and both of them ate a mouthful full of oil, which can be described as both happy and satisfied.

In fact, He Xiaoqiao also felt a little guilty when he first enjoyed the pigeons, after all, eating the tools specially trained by others to send letters, how to say it is also a bit immoral.

But the thought came to her mind for a moment, and soon all her thoughts were drawn to the fragrant pigeon meat - no one knew that they had done something immoral, and that eating was king, and the rest...... I'm sorry, the food is current, everything else is floating clouds, let's not care!

The poor carrier pigeon whined and mourned into the temple of the five organs of the two foodies.

Taking advantage of He Xiaoqiao's search for the pond to wash his hands, Jiang Fenghao opened the letterbox tied to the pigeon's feet without any shame and took a look, and found that it was just an inconsequential sour poem and complained to the outer room that his wife at home was not gentle and considerate enough, so he threw it into the fire and burned it.

There is no village in front of the village and no store nearby, and the two can only spend one night in the bamboo forest.

The first time he spent the night in the wild, because he was worried that snakes, insects, rats and ants would crawl on his body, He Xiaoqiao didn't dare to stay too far away from Jiang Fenghao, and was always vigilant and entangled for most of the night, and finally fell asleep vaguely when it was almost dawn.

When I woke up, it was almost noon.

After a simple wash in the small pond nearby, He Xiaoqiao just returned to the same place when he saw Jiang Fenghao sitting on a stone, holding a branch in his hand and pulling something into the bonfire.

"Morning, lady."

With a smile and a smile, Jiang Fenghao picked up a black thing from the ground and threw it to her, "Then." ”

He Xiaoqiao caught it with all his hands and feet, and after a closer look, he found that it was a roasted sweet potato, "Where did this thing come from?" ”

Jiang Fenghao pointed behind him with his finger, and then hooked out another sweet potato from the ashes of the fire, and quickly dialed it aside to cool, "There is a sweet potato field not far behind, I saw that no one was there, so I borrowed a few." ”

"......" borrowed?

The corners of He Xiaoqiao's mouth twitched, this thing's ability to lead sheep is almost comparable to that of the ancestor of other thieves, Liu Xia Tuo.

After eating sweet potatoes, the two of them simply cleaned up and continued to be carried by Jiang Fenghao with He Xiaoqiao on his back.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in the imperial capital of the Great Yan Kingdom, the ministers who had just left the early dynasty were leaving from the main hall.

"Lord Shangguan, please stay."

Hearing the shout, the thin figure who was originally walking forward paused, and then turned around gracefully and slowly, the silver-white court clothes swayed with the morning breeze, and the sun fell on him, shrouding his whole person in a hazy halo.

The sword eyebrows that fly obliquely into the sideburns, the slightly narrowed phoenix eyes, the high nose bridge, and the resolute chin all show the elegance and chic.

It's just that the diamond-shaped thin lips that are a little less bloody are half-pursed at the moment, and they look a little indifferent and detached.

"Lord Lin," the Chao man nodded slightly, and Shangguan Yun didn't have a smile on his face.

Lin Yi, the newly promoted Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites who rushed from behind, was sweating profusely, rushed to Shangguan Yun's side in three steps and two steps, stopped one step behind him, and said with a flattering smile while panting, "Congratulations to Lord Shangguan, congratulations to Lord Shangguan!" ”

Shangguan Yun frowned without a trace, "Lord Lin, why are you happy?" ”

Lin Yi raised his hand to wipe his sweat, "Today, the emperor has approved all the folds on Lord Shangguan." Even the King of Xiangyang, who has always disdained to be with my generation, praised your proposal, Lord Shangguan, which shows that Lord Shangguan is highly talented. ”

"Lord Lin, Liao Zan." Shangguan Yun looked up at the sundial not far away, a little impatient.

Lin Yi didn't seem to see Shangguan Yun's impatience, so he looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "The emperor has praised Lord Shangguan, coupled with the support of the King of Xiangyang and half of the ministers in the court, presumably Lord Shangguan will be the prime minister this time...... That's definitely a sure thing. ”

"Lord Lin, please be cautious, what the emperor's intentions are is not something we can discuss." Shangguan Yun glanced at Lin Yi sharply, and then said coldly, "Speculating on the holy will, this consequence is not something you and I can bear." ”

I won't choose to say it, this is still in the palace, and it is really impossible for those guards and ministers around to die?

In a court where as long as you make a mistake for half a minute, you may lose your head at any time or be exiled by raiding your home, how can you still be so stupid...... How did he climb to the position of the Ministry of Rites?

"The lower officials are confused, the lower officials are confused." Lin Yi came back to his senses, but he was also scared into a cold sweat.

The old king died, and the new emperor had just ascended the throne. The DPRK and China were turbulent and divided into three factions.

One faction is the conservative faction headed by the king of Xiangyang, most of the members are officials who are good friends with him, and they strongly advocate following the old system of the old emperor; The other faction is the reform faction headed by Shangguan Yun, most of the members are new officials and some old ministers who are optimistic about Shangguan Yun, and this faction advocates innovation and reform; As for this last faction, it is a neutral onlooker faction led by the Seventeenth Prince and spontaneously formed by several old fritters in the court...... Don't mention it.

He originally belonged to Shangguan Yun's faction, and if Shangguan Yun was promoted, he would also be stained. was immersed in the dream of being promoted and making a fortune for a while, and actually forgot that he was still in a palace with many eyes and ears.

Fortunately, there is no one else in the open space, otherwise if someone knows about this matter and finds an excuse to join him, his career in this life will come to an end.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi hurriedly bent down and bowed to Shangguan Yun, "Thank you, Lord Shangguan, for mentioning it." ”

"Lord Lin doesn't have to be polite." Shangguan Yun stretched out his hand to help him, "Since you and I are officials in the same dynasty, it is also appropriate to take care of each other." ”

"Then Lord Shangguan......" Lin Yi wanted to say something more, but was suddenly interrupted by a figure that stepped forward.

"Your Excellency!"

The person who came dressed as a guard, walked quickly to Shangguan Yun's side, and seemed a little surprised when he saw Lin Yi, but he quickly recovered, approached Shangguan Yun, and whispered a few words in his ear with his hand on the side of his face.

Lin Yi on the side saw Shangguan Yun's brows furrowing more and more, and his heart became uneasy.

After a while, Shangguan Yun came back to his senses, turned to look at Lin Yi, and said in a deep voice, "This official has a little urgent matter to deal with now, Lord Lin, take your leave first." ”

"Yes, yes, please, please."

What can make Shangguan Yun pay so much attention is definitely not an extraordinary trivial matter, and Lin Yi naturally doesn't dare to say much about it.

"Farewell." Shangguan Yun didn't bother to say more to him, nodded slightly, and followed the guard out without looking back.

Lin Yi stood in place for a while, saw that the officials in the main hall were almost scattered, and looked up at the sky again, thinking that at this time, several wives and concubines in the family were probably awake, and they would probably be able to catch up with them for breakfast when they went back, so he also flicked his two big sleeves, and walked outside the palace gate with his hands and feet behind his back.
