Chapter 142: The Awkward Time of He Da's Boss (Second Watch)
After He Ran arranged these things, she went back to Jinyang first, she wanted to take Jinyang City, but it was not as simple as just exploring the secrets of the palace.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she returned to Jinyang, she received a letter from Heimei.
Hei Mei's letter was sent to Jinghong Lou by a little beggar, Hei Mei didn't know where to find He Ran, but Jinghong Lou was definitely not wrong, especially Jinyang Jinghong Building, he finally saw He Ran in Jinyang.
He Ran opened the letter and looked at it, his brows stretched, the king of Kaizhou was actually recruiting!
The conscription of the vassal king was nothing more than two reasons, either to rebel or to protect himself.
Zhou Xiang, the king of Kaizhou, it doesn't matter whether he has the courage to rebel or not, as long as he is a descendant of the Zhou family, there will be people who encourage him to rebel.
A year ago, this kind of thing would not have happened, but as the article on Min Xuan spread all over the world, anyone who could catch up with the descendants of the Zhou family would have this idea.
It doesn't matter whether the little emperor is a child of the Min family or not, the important thing is that those princes believe it.
Even if they were only skeptical at first, as long as they thought about that position, they would decide that the little emperor was not the dragon of the Zhou family.
Now that King Gui has been killed, these vassal kings are even more in danger, the world is going to be chaotic, and they can only be destroyed if they eat and wait for death like before.
But once the vassal king has soldiers in his hands, even if they don't rebel, in the eyes of the world and the emperor, they will rebel.
Therefore, the rich King of Qi was spending money to recruit soldiers, and the King of Kaizhou, who had no sense of existence and did not have much money, simply issued military service and forced conscription.
He Ran didn't envy them for military service, and she couldn't envy them now, she could only spend money to recruit soldiers.
The previous three thousand people cost thirty thousand taels.
It is easy for Jinghonglou to take out 30,000 taels, but this is not a long-term solution after all.
So she had to think about it.
He Ran slept until midnight and got up, got out of bed with his clothes on, and stood alone in the yard.
Therefore, the next day, He Ran suffered from a cold, sneezed and runny nose, and in the afternoon, he simply started a fever.
He Ran drank several large bowls of warm water, slept with his head covered, sweated profusely, and had a fever at night.
She didn't dare to take a bath, endured the smell of sweat, changed into shabby clothes, and walked near the military camp stationed outside Jinyang City.
Stationed outside the city of Jinyang was the army of the descendants of the King of Jin, and the number was not large, only 10,000 people.
Wherever the king of Jin went, these 10,000 people followed.
He Ran did not approach the barracks, and after dark, she found an inn two or three miles away from the barracks and stayed there.
The innkeeper saw that although she was dressed in shabby clothes, she came on horseback, so he didn't ask much about her, but he didn't ask her if she had any money, so he asked the man to lead her to the chase shop next to the stable.
He Ran glanced at it and saw several big men lying on the big kang, obviously they were together.
The guy said to a few people: "A few old brothers, let me go, come to the guests, and make room for people to sleep." ”
The big man who was sleeping on the outermost side opened his eyes and looked at it, moved his body to the side, and the guy put the cover roll he brought over on the kang, and said to He Ran: "You just sleep here, you can get hot water in front, the thatched toilet is behind the stable, don't pee in the house, don't be outside the house, you have to go to the thatched toilet, we are not used to this kind of problem here, dare to pee, just throw you on the street, don't say that our store is a big bully." ”
He Ran shrunk his neck and nodded: "Don't worry, I promise not to pee, so I'll go to the toilet to pee." ”
The man looked at her, didn't say anything more, and turned away.
Although He Ran's body is strong, after all, he was just sick yesterday, and after so many trips, his body was a little weak, so he rolled up the cover, took off his shoes and lay down.
But as soon as she lay down, the man sleeping next to her sat up: "I said, you haven't taken a bath for a year, this smell is smoking!" ”
He Ran guessed that there was a smell of sweat on her body, but she didn't expect the smell to be so big.
He is embarrassed.
"Brother, I had a fever yesterday and was sweating, and today I was in a hurry and sweated, and I didn't dare to take a bath, I was afraid that I would be sick again, brother, you should bear more."
He Ran said, untied the wine gourd hanging on his waist, and handed it over flatteringly: "Good wine, the uncle of the helper rewarded me, saying that it is a good wine that I can't drink in my life, brother, can you taste it?" ”
The man looked at her paws holding the gourd, well, the paws looked cleaner than her face, at least there was no black mud between her fingernails.
Seeing that he hesitated, He Ran carefully pulled out the lid of the gourd, and suddenly, a smell of wine wafted out of the gourd.
The man sniffed, but a square-faced man sleeping next to him had already sniffed: "Fen Yangchun? Where did you get Fenyangchun? ”
He Ran laughed: "It was rewarded to me by that uncle, this is really good wine, and that uncle said the same." ”
"Bring it to me, give it to me." The square-faced man stretched out his hand and was about to take the gourd in He Ran's hand.
The man sleeping next to He Ran coughed dryly, glanced at the square-faced man, and the square-faced man's outstretched hand retracted, smiled wryly, and lay down again.
The man said to He Ran, "Since it is a good wine, you can keep it for yourself." ”
At this time, another big man with a scar on his face got off the kang, walked to this side, and said to the man, "Let's change, I'll sleep here." ”
The man didn't speak, he got up and changed places with the scar-faced man, the scar-faced man approached He Ran and sniffed it, and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't this just a little sweat." ”
He Ran showed a smile of "You still understand me" at the man, originally, she was sweating a lot, and she hadn't taken a shower for two or three days, and she thought she had run out of the dung pit by the person just now.
Originally, he slept in this position, firstly because it was against the wall, and secondly because the window was on this side, which was the most ventilated place in the whole room.
He Ran didn't believe it, these big men smelled better than her, just like this scar-faced man, He Ran's nose was not particularly smart, but he also smelled his feet.
What is the origin of these people, and what are these people doing here so close to the barracks?
As soon as He Ran lay down, he felt exhausted, and after a while, there was a sound of snoring in the room, and He Ran listened to the snoring and soon fell asleep.
I don't know how long she slept, she suddenly heard the sound of rustling around her, the habit of two lifetimes, He Ran slept very lightly, she immediately woke up, opened one eye, there was no light in the house, the moonlight spilled in through the window, she looked around with the residual light of her eyes, and the quilt next to her was pulled to the pillow, but He Ran knew that the scar-faced man was no longer in the quilt.
Today's third watch, this is the second watch, and there is another watch behind, waiting for me
