Chapter 268 Eat less, you won't starve to death

The empress's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and her deep eyes revealed a suffocating coldness.

In the end, she still didn't believe Yang Dong's so-called distrust, but meant something else......

At this time, Yang Dongxin was about to raise his voice, although he could usually go a little too far and not be punished.

But now he deeply feels the crisis, as if if he is not careful, his head will fall to the ground in the next second.

The air seemed to freeze, and Yang Dong could even hear his heartbeat pounding because of nervousness.

A companion is like a tiger, and what he said is not wrong at all.

"Your Majesty...... If there are no other instructions, the little ones will step back first? Although he didn't know the bottom of his heart, it was not a way to pestle it, Yang Dong simply said boldly.

The empress withdrew the chill in her eyes and lowered her head slightly......

Seeing this, Yang Dong took three steps back with interest, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait!"

Before he could raise his legs, the empress's tone of staring at the world floated into his ears, and Yang Donghu's body was shocked.

It's over, isn't it?

The two of us have had the joy of fish and water, do we really want to kill them all?

Yang Dong muttered to himself, but he still had a smile on his face, and bent down reverently.

"I don't know what else the empress commands, I can go to the sea of fire and the sword mountain for the empress at any time."

The empress's face stretched and showed a charming chuckle: "Xiao Dongzi has this heart, I am very pleased. If this Manchu Dynasty civil and military can go to the soup for me like Xiao Dongzi, why can't I rule the world. ”

It can be seen that although the empress is a daughter, her state of mind pretends to be the whole country, and she wants to touch all countries and become an unprecedented supreme ruler.

Correct......

The reason why Yang Dong was so loyal was just to avoid a catastrophe.

No matter how terrifying the empress is, she is just a woman after all, how can she not listen to good words.

This is also Yang Dong's life-saving means in the government and the opposition, but if the empress is happy, he, a fake eunuch, will naturally not be in danger of his life.

"Little Dongzi, I'll ask you." The empress condescendingly looked down at Yang Dong who was kneeling in front of the hall, and her tone was a little concerned.

"When you go to Youzhou this time, how many soldiers will you bring, and how much will it cost to get by?"

Yang Dong was stunned, but he didn't expect the empress to be curious about this.

But after thinking about it, it is normal for you to be an empress and sympathetic to your courtiers, not to mention that the relationship between the two is so delicate.

Sensing that the empress's eyes did not leave his body, Yang Dong did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly responded.

"Back to Your Majesty, although I went to Youzhou this time, since I am talking about reconciliation with the Houjin people, it is not appropriate to bring too many soldiers. I negotiated with the Houjin people in accordance with the will of the empress, and made good friends with them, not to start a war, and there were too many people to arouse their suspicion. ”

Hearing this answer, the empress sitting on the dragon chair pondered for a short time, but surprise appeared in her eyes.

When did Xiao Dongzi become so reasonable, he was usually afraid of being plotted by others, and he wanted to take the forbidden army with him.

Shibei should be impressed in three days, it seems that he has indeed grown a lot, and it is not in vain that I have high hopes for you.

The empress gradually smiled, and nodded with satisfaction: "What Xiao Dongzi said is wonderful, and he is worthy of being my good helper." Since you think so much about Da Zhou, I definitely can't treat you badly. ”

"This time I went to Youzhou, I promised you ten thousand taels of money, in case of any need on the road."

"If you can convince the Houjin people, you will be rewarded again when you come back."

Yang Dong's eyes glowed green when he heard this, he never thought that he could have so many benefits after going far away.

Happy to be happy, but Yang Dong didn't show it, otherwise the empress would suddenly turn her face, and her intestines would be repentant.

"Alright, stand down. Tomorrow's departure, I won't send you, you should be careful all the way, don't be too stubborn, remember that everything is to save your life first. The empress didn't forget to give her advice in the end, and it could be seen that she really had indescribable feelings for Yang Dong.

Exiting the Shangqing Palace, the eunuchs outside the palace all rushed forward enthusiastically.

Yang Dong had long been accustomed to this, so he threw out a little silver and swaggered away.

……

In the early morning of the next day, after a night of spring supper, I bought a drunken stone letter and sat under the city gate with a spring breeze on my face.

Beside him stood a swarthy man with a strong body and a simple face, who was his apprentice Tie Niu, whom he forcibly dragged in.

"Master, I haven't eaten early in the morning, what are you doing here?"

"You won't starve to death if you eat less, you'll know later."

If it weren't for Shi Zixin's own master, Tie Niu would really want to abandon him.

If you still eat one less meal, are you hungry?

Thinking that Shi Zixin ran to the land of fireworks alone last night to be happy, Tie Niu did not complain in his heart.

It seemed that he was aware of the resentful eyes of the good apprentice, and Shi Zixin, who was self-righteous, couldn't stand it, so he had to throw out some broken silver.

"Go buy food, look at your aggrieved look, don't say it's my apprentice outside."

Tie Niu didn't listen to it at all, he was happy like a child of several hundred pounds, and rushed to the meaty steamed bun shop in a hurry.

Outside the gate of the main palace, the general of the city guard looked at the scarcity of people and walked to the carriage.

"Yang Gong, you might as well let me arrange a personal guard to escort you to Youzhou, just this person, if something happens on the road, General Ben is really worried."

Yang Dong lifted the curtain, and his eyes were filled with the sad face of the city protector.

"The general is too worried, but it is inconvenient to have too many people. Besides, your personal guards are all elites among the people, how can they be used on my little eunuch, or to protect the safety of the imperial city, it is the most important. ”

Yang Dong didn't give the other party a chance to talk again, so he informed the horseman, and then returned to the carriage and never showed up again.

In this way, a convoy of less than ten people slowly walked along the official road from the palace towards Chengguan.

At the same time, a figure walked out of the shadows, looking at the simple convoy, and the gloom in his eyes was self-evident.

"The dignified envoy only brought this little bit of people, and he was really bold, but he didn't know if he could come back if he went to Youzhou."

When the words fell, the speaker waved his hand and whispered something to the subordinates behind him.

Half an hour later......

"Yang Gong, we have arrived at Chengguan, do you want to continue to move forward?"

Yang Dong, who took a nap for a while, woke up under a greeting, and when he learned that he had arrived at the place, he got up and poked his head out of the side of the carriage.

Coincidentally, I saw Shi Zixin and Tie Niu fighting for the last bun, and their faces were red.

Yang Dong didn't feel funny, and shouted: "Little junior brother, don't make trouble, I'll prepare some beef and wine for you later, hurry up to the car." ”

Hearing the familiar voice, Shi Zixin suddenly stopped, and Tie Niu took the opportunity to stuff the bun into his mouth, not to mention how funny his greedy appearance was.

"Go...... What kind of carriage does the junior sit in, while playing. ”

Shi Zixin kicked the iron bull off the carriage with an unceremonious kick, and when the curtain was lowered, the displeasure on his face instantly turned into a flattery......

Some people died, but not completely......
