Chapter 4: Give you a hundred
Could it be that the name of the county order is actually to go to war?
Does the emperor want Changqing to die on the battlefield as well?
Compared to Wen's shock, Meng Changqing was very confused, she didn't know what this thing was, she hadn't seen it.
"Your Majesty asked me to hand over this thing to you, and with this token, you can go to the Liangzhou military camp to select a hundred soldiers as your personal soldiers."
This time it was Meng Changqing's turn to be shocked.
She knew that the princes and high-ranking officials all had personal soldiers, but most of them were only twenty or thirty people, and the most were only fifty or sixty.
But the number the emperor gave her was a hundred.
And I've never heard of assigning personal soldiers to the county order!
and asked her to go to the barracks to pick it up.
This treatment, really let her do the county order?
It can't be the captain of the death squad, right?
"Lord Meng?" Bai Mufeng looked at this child who only reached his chest, at a young age, because of the merits of his father and brother, he was so reused by His Majesty.
I don't know if he can afford His Majesty's trust.
Meng Changqing stretched out his hand and took the token, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Lord Bai and the brothers of the Imperial Forest Army." ”
Back in the carriage, Wen told her the ins and outs of the token.
Wen also changed his mind at this time, "Your Majesty punishes you on the surface, but in fact, he wants to protect you."
The current crown prince is the son of the imperial concubine, and you have been in contact with her in the palace, so you should know what kind of temper she has.
You are so heavy on the prince, she will never let you go.
Even if there is no action on the surface, there will be a black hand in the dark.
Your Majesty asked you to go to Liangzhou, I'm afraid you want to find a place that can protect you. ”
Liang tweeted: "Liangzhou is located at the border, and the people in the palace can't stretch out their hands, but that place is already dangerous, and foreign enemies can invade at any time." ”
Wen said, "Liangzhou is a big country, not all county towns face the enemy, it depends on where Beishan County is." ”
"Madam, in your opinion, Beishan County shouldn't be a dangerous place, right?"
Wen shook his head, "We won't have a conclusion until we get there." ”
Meng Changqing lay back on the quilt again, her mentality was very good, "Even if it is dangerous, there are soldiers guarding the border passes, and it is not our turn to go into battle to kill the enemy, don't worry about it." ”
It's a big deal, when the enemy comes, she runs.
A good official can't do it, but she is the best at being a faint official.
Wen also said: "It's useless to worry about it, let's go out and play, and wait until we get to the place to make plans." ”
A voice came from outside the car, "Madam, breakfast is here." ”
Liang Jiu leaned out to pick it up.
"Auntie, Doctor Hu said that the young master's medicine should be added with two more flavors, and it will be boiled after a while."
"Okay, you go to breakfast, tell everyone, and set off when the young master drinks the medicine."
"Auntie, there's one more thing." Bafang asked, "The team of Imperial Guards who came just now, will you eat with us in the future?" ”
That's a real problem.
Twelve big men need a lot of rations.
"I'll wait until I've asked Madame."
The carriage was not soundproof, and the doors were open.
When Liang came back reflexively with the lunch box, Wen had a decision.
"Whether they eat it or not, prepare their portions." Wen said, "We took care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation all the way." ”
"That's going to cost a lot more."
"Although they have other things, but in the end, they are here to protect Changqing, so we naturally have to treat them well."
"It's said to protect Changqing, but I just looked at their appearance...... "Liang frowned, "You come up and talk to them, except for the leader one, everyone else is on horseback."
They don't have much respect for you, let alone a child who is evergreen. ”
Wen didn't care about this, "Most of the Royal Forest Army are noble descendants, in terms of background, they are already nobler than us, but they obey the emperor's orders and stay by Changqing's side for the time being."
We don't need their respect, as long as they remember their duties. ”
When the two of them were talking, Meng Changqing had already opened the lunch box and ate it by himself.
As soon as she ate it, she knew that it was not made by her cook.
Her family's chef skills are very good, but unfortunately the cook is a native of Beijing, and the family is in the capital, so it is naturally impossible to follow Meng Changqing's family to Liangzhou.
Understandable.
It's this breakfast, who made it?
Rice is reluctant to grow because it is difficult to eat like this when it is made into porridge.
It's bitter and salty, and there's something like an eggshell in it.
Liang noticed her expression of wanting to vomit or not, "What's wrong?" Does your stomach feel upset? ”
Meng Changqing swallowed hard, "It's not uncomfortable in the stomach, it's uncomfortable on the tongue, who made breakfast?" ”
Liang picked up the bowl and tasted it.
Who spoils food so much?
"If only I had known I would have gone over and had a look."
Wen doesn't believe in evil, "It looks good, it won't be unpalatable like this." ”
"You'll know if you taste it."
Wen drank, "Eat the bread, the bread is brought out of the house." ”
The three people in the carriage endured it, but the people outside couldn't bear it.
Bafang was screaming outside, "I'll just say your shell is not clean!" You still let me give this kind of thing to the masters to drink, how embarrassed are you! ”
Laicai immediately roared back, "You have the face to say that I am obviously the fire you burned, and I don't know that the bottom of the pot is paste!" ”
Meng Changqing knew that these two people did it, and when others cooked well, at least they knew that they would taste it first.
"These two kids." Liang said, "It's too ugly to quarrel in front of outsiders, so I went over to persuade them." ”
"Wait!" Meng Changqing's originally relaxed expression changed.
"What's wrong?"
Meng Changqing breathed lightly, skipped the noise outside, and listened carefully to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, anxious and chaotic, "Don't get out of the car yet." ”
She expected that the men on horseback were coming for them.
"Who's coming?" This is Bai Mufeng's voice.
"Phew."
Presumably, the visitor has been stopped by the Royal Guards.
"Who are you? Dare to kidnap the son of General Meng! ”
Hearing this voice, Wen Shi lifted the curtain and immediately walked out, "Dongwen." ”
Several men on horseback had their hands pressed on the handles of their knives at their sides.
The middle-aged man who took the lead was none other than Dongwen, whom Wen had just called.
He was full of vigilance and asked Wen, "Madam, who are these?" ”
"It's the Imperial Guards sent by His Majesty to protect Evergreen." Wen walked over quickly and said to Bai Mufeng: "Lord Bai, they are members of the Fuzhong family, so there is no need to stop them. ”
Only then did Bai Mufeng put away his sword and moved sideways.
Several people on the horse dismounted one after another, separating the Wen clan from the Imperial Forest Army, and escorting the Wen clan towards the carriage where Meng Changqing was.
"What's going on?" Wen asked in a low voice.
Dai Dongwen is the housekeeper of the Meng Mansion, and according to the Wen family's arrangement, he should stay in the capital to guard the Meng family's house and property.
"Madam, three masked men infiltrated the house in the early hours of this morning, and we were able to intercept and kill only one of them despite all our might.
There is no mark on the man's body, the murder weapon is a high-grade steel knife, and ordinary blacksmith shops do not have that kind of material at all, I don't think their kung fu is like a wild road, most of them...... It came out of the palace.
Someone in the palace wants to kill the young master. ”
