Chapter 125: The Mission Arrives in the North

The bracelet is separated from the snow-white wrist, and in Xu Qi'an's eyes, the elderly woman with a mediocre posture looks like a reflection in the water, and after a period of change, her original appearance appears, which belongs to her.

Her eyes were round and charming, reflecting the light of fire, like a shallow lake immersed in a brilliant gem, crystal and moving.

She raised her head shyly and timidly, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, with a bewildering beauty.

Her lips are full and ruddy, and the corners of her mouth are delicate like carvings, like the most seductive cherries, seducing men to kiss Fangze.

She is beautiful, but her temperament and demeanor are even better, like a fairy lady on the picture scroll.

“.........”

Xu Qi'an has seen stunning beauties, and he also knows that Princess Zhenbei is known as the first beauty in Dafeng, so she naturally has her superiority.

However, when he really saw the legendary Dafeng No. 1 beauty, Xu Qi'an still had a strong sense of amazement. A poem naturally came to my mind:

The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon.

If it weren't for the jade mountain, it would meet Yaotai under the moon.

"Give me back........" she said in a crying and pleading voice.

Xu Qi'an looked at her silently, didn't continue to tease, and handed over the bracelet.

The princess snatched it with her hand and put it back on, and there was another wave of light and shadow, and she became an ordinary old aunt again.

In his early thirties, he has mediocre facial features and an ordinary temperament.

The princess touched her face, breathed a sigh of relief, and then hid her right hand wearing a bracelet tightly behind her, stepped back step by step, and looked at Xu Qi'an vigilantly.

She knows that her beauty is an irresistible temptation for men.

There are only two men in this world who can resist the temptation and ignore her, one is Emperor Yuan Jing, who is obsessed with cultivation and lives forever above all else.

One is King Huai, who is obsessed with martial arts and has other plans for her.

As for Xu Qi'an, in the princess's inherent impression of him, the label on his body is: a young hero, a womanizer.

It is rumored that this person has been lingering in the workshop division all day long, and has a deep entanglement with many Oiran, and the young hero and the uninhibited romance are intertwined, and are often talked about.

But what the princess is most afraid of is the womanizer.

This is too beautiful, no, it's not a question of whether she's beautiful or not, she's really the kind of woman who is rare and makes me want to fall in love for the first time........ In Xu Qi'an's mind, this stalk from his previous life came to mind.

He thinks it is very appropriate, the princess is beautiful, but what really makes Xu Qi'an like a lightning strike is the peculiar charm on her body, which can touch the softness of a man's heart.

Is this the first beauty of Daebong? Heh, interesting woman.

Xu Qi'an held the branch, stirred the bonfire, did not look at the princess who was full of vigilance and vigilance, looked at the fire, and said:

"This bracelet is what I won for you in the first place, it has the effect of shielding the breath and changing the appearance. ”

The princess was slightly stunned, thinking of the changes before and after she took off the bracelet, thinking that he had deduced it from this, so she nodded.

Xu Qi'an continued: "I heard that Princess Zhenbei is the first beauty in Dafeng, I was not convinced, but now I see your true face........ can only sigh with emotion: well-deserved. ”

The princess frowned slightly, "Not convinced?"

If other women said this, the princess thought she was jealous, but it was reasonable. But this sentence comes from the mouth of a man, and it seems very strange.

Xu Qi'an nodded: "Because I think I have a pond...... The women I know are all outstanding beauties, with different appearances, like a hundred flowers. The so-called princess is just an equally delicate flower. ”

But he has to admit that in the short-lived alluring appearance just now, this princess showed a very strong feminine charm.

Even if he has been under fire for a long time, although he is not fascinated, he has a momentary impulse, a male instinctive impulse.

Hearing this, the princess sneered.

How can the woman this womanizer hook up with be compared to her, the Oiran in the Church Division is certainly beautiful, but if you want to compare those dusty women with her, it is a bit insulting.

In the capital, the princess felt that the eldest daughter and second daughter of Emperor Yuan Jing could barely be her foil, and when the national teacher Luo Yuheng was the most coquettish, she could compete with her, but most of the time it was inferior.

As for the other women, she either had never seen them, or she was beautiful but had a low status.

The capital is a mountain, and the princess is the Dugu on the top of the mountain, she glanced at it, and at most she saw Huaiqing and Lin'an's brains. Take a look at half of Luo Yuheng's face occasionally.

Of course, there is another person, if it is in the prime of life, the princess feels that she may be able to compete with herself.

She is the queen of Daebong.

Among these women that Xu Qi'an hooked up, naturally they would not include Huaiqing Lin'an and the national teacher. Therefore, the princess scoffed at his statement and raised her chin arrogantly.

"It's almost ten years since I left Beijing, and it's hard to disguise yourself as a maid. I've endured you and you've had a hard time. Xu Qi'an said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" the princess was stunned.

"We were on deck that night, and I wanted to pick up your bracelet, but it didn't look like an extraneous branch, after all, I was the organizer, and I had to think about the overall situation. ”

The princess's expression was dull, she looked at him in amazement, and said, "You, you guessed that I was the princess at that time?"

Deceive, she is obviously so well disguised, and she often applauds her acting skills at night, thinking that she plays the role of a servant girl like fire and innocence, and no one recognizes it.

"To be precise, when you were in the palace, you hit me with gold, and I began to doubt. The real confirmation of your identity is when we met in the official ship. Then I understood that you were the princess. The one on the ship, just a puppet. Xu Qi'an said with a smile.

After abandoning the ship and taking the land route, Xu Qi'an saw the fake princess, Xu Qi'an felt no waves, and even more sure that she was an impostor.

The reason is simple, he had written a diary before, and in the diary he recorded one of the characteristics of the princess.

I, I was exposed so early.......... The princess opened her mouth, speechless, thinking of her performance in the past few days, a sense of shame that she wanted to dig into the ground and bury herself welled up in her heart.

"I'm telling you this to tell you that I'm....... I ask a man who is not lustful, but I will never force a woman. We still have some way to go north, and we need your cooperation. Xu Qi'an comforted her.

Dabong Xu Yingong never forced women unless they wanted to.

Still can't escape the fate of going north........ The princess pursed her lips, slightly lost, and was silent for a long time, and asked, "When are we going to meet with the mission?"

The young silver gong raised his head, the firelight reflected on his face, the corners of his mouth hooked, revealing an inexplicable smile: "Who said we were going to join the mission?"

............

On this night, the banyan tree "rustled" and nothing happened.

In the morning, the first rays of morning light shone on her face, and the crisp and pleasant birdsong in her ears, and she woke up from a light sleep to see that the bonfire had been extinguished, and a large iron pot was set up on it, and the porridge was fragrant.

The princess's stomach growled twice, and she couldn't hide her surprise to come to the bonfire, and unveiled the iron pot, which was a thick porridge for three or five people.

In addition, there are clean dishes and chopsticks on the side.

Where did he get the pot to cook porridge, no, where did he get the rice? Where did he get the clean dishes and chopsticks.......... The princess poured porridge for herself a night and drank it happily.

Thick and sweet, the porridge with just the right temperature slid into the abdomen, and the princess tasted it for a while, and bent her eyebrows.

After gnawing on two rabbit legs yesterday, my stomach was a little uncomfortable, and I got up in the middle of the night to drink water, and found that the water was drunk by that guy. Now it's a dry mouth and an empty stomach.

This bowl of sweet porridge is better than the delicacies of the mountains and the sea.

At this time, footsteps came from a distance, and Xu Qi'an, who was stepping on the meadow, returned, he changed into civilian clothes, wore a mink hat, and seemed to have just finished taking a bath.

"There's a small river over there, no one around, good for bathing. Xu Qi'an sat down beside her, threw over the soap horn and bristle toothbrush, and said:

"Do you want to take a shower?"

The princess held the bowl in her two small hands, looked at Xu Qi'an for a moment, and shook her head slightly.

"Isn't it dirty?" Xu Qi'an frowned, she was a princess with a daughter's body, and she was so unhygienic.

"You're dirty. The princess didn't know the hearts of good people.

She wouldn't be able to take a bath, wouldn't that give the womanizer an opportunity........?

Yes, the goddess doesn't go to the toilet, it's because my consciousness is low........ Xu Qi'an took back the bristles, toothbrushes and soaphorns.

The princess hurriedly said, "Gargling is needed." ”

She had a small appetite, and after eating a bowl of thick porridge, she felt a little stretched, and walked towards the river while looking at the bristles and toothbrush.

Mainly suspected that this toothbrush was used by Xu Qi'an, but she had no evidence.

When she came back after brushing her teeth, the pots and pans were gone, and Xu Qi'an sat by the ashes, staring at the map.

"Where are we going next?" she asked.

"Sanhuang County. ”

Xu Qi'an did not deliberately sell Guanzi, and explained: "This is a county adjacent to Chuzhou and Jiangzhou, and there is a secret son cultivated by the watchman, I want to go to him first, inquire about the information, and then gradually go deep into Chuzhou." ”

The case of the bloody massacre of 3,000 miles is confusing, and there seems to be another hidden story, in this context, Xu Qian believes that secretly investigating the case is the right choice.

If you are too high-profile, you will put yourself and your companions in danger.

The mission led by Yang Yan is a cover on the surface.

Steady plan........ The princess bowed slightly, and asked again, "Where are those things?" ”

"I want you to take care of it. Xu Qi'an scolded her mercilessly.

The two continued on the road, avoiding official roads, taking mountain trails, ridges, or directly over mountains and mountains.

For a whole day, a certain stingy woman never spoke to him again.

There are also advantages to walking on mountain roads, the scenery along the way is not bad, green mountains and green waters, and white clouds are long.

Occasionally, you can see the green pines on the proud cliff, and the pavilions are like covers. You can also see wildflowers blooming on the roadside, simple and tough.

Xu Qi'an is a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, he doesn't walk fast, and occasionally stops, picks a place with beautiful scenery, and rests leisurely for half an hour.

Talking to her about her experience in fish farming often drew a disdainful sneer from the princess.

..........

Half a decade later, the mission entered the northern border and arrived at a city called Wanzhou.

Wanzhou is a small state, larger than the county and smaller than the county, Wanzhou has fertile land, suitable for farming, and is one of the granaries of Chuzhou.

The architectural style here is not much different from the capital of the Central Plains, but the scale is not the same, and because there is no wharf nearby, the prosperity is limited.

After Yang Yan showed the court documents, the centurion, the supreme general on the city gate, personally led the team to lead them to the post station.

As soon as the mission rested at the post station, Yang Yan took a hot bath, and was just about to sit down to drink tea, when Wanzhou Thorn Shi came.

Lord Zhizhou's surname is Niu, his physique does not match the word "Niu", he is tall and thin, with goat's beard, wearing a green robe embroidered with herons, and two officials behind him.

"Xia Guan doesn't know how many adults are coming, and there is a loss of welcome, and there is a loss of ........"

Niu Zhizhou's attitude was extremely humble, and after greeting with Dali Temple Cheng and the two imperial historians and Yang Yan, he asked: "Dare to ask, what happened to the adults?"

Yang Yan is not good at officialdom and did not answer.

Dali Sicheng took out the documents that had been prepared a long time ago, handed them over with a smile, and began to call Zhizhou a brother and a brother in a few words.

Niu Zhizhou and Dali Temple finished greetings, and then opened the Chinese book and read it carefully.

After reading the paperwork, Niu Zhizhou's expression was extremely strange, and he even felt ridiculous, his eyes swept over everyone, and he said tentatively: "Dare to ask, which one is Xu Yinluo?"

Dali Sicheng sighed and said sadly: "The mission was ambushed by the enemy on the way, and Xu Yinluo was seriously injured in order to protect everyone. We have sent someone back to the capital. ”

Niu Zhizhou was shocked: "There is such a thing? Who is the thief who dares to ambush the imperial court mission, it is simply lawless." ”

Yushi, surnamed Liu, waved his hand and said, "Don't mention this matter, Lord Niu, I came to investigate the case, and I happened to have something to ask." ”

Niu Zhizhou hurriedly said: "Lord Yushi, please ask." ”

Liu Yushi said in a deep voice: "How is the battle situation in Chuzhou?"

Hearing this, Niu Zhizhou sighed and said: "Last year, there was heavy snow in the north, and countless livestock froze to death. Since the beginning of spring this year, they have often invaded the border, burning and looting along the way.

"Fortunately, there are many generals under the command of the king of Zhenbei, and not a single city has been lost. The barbarians did not dare to go deep into Chuzhou, and only took pity on the people near the border. ”

Not all the people lived in the cities, but those who were raided by the barbarians were the people of the villages and towns.

Everyone in the mission looked at each other, and Chen Zhutou of the Criminal Department frowned and said, "Where did the bloody massacre take place for 3,000 miles?"

Niu Zhizhou smiled bitterly and spread his hands, and said: "This is simply a fantasy, you adults should know that the vertical and horizontal of Chuzhou is only eight thousand miles." If there is a bloody massacre of 3,000 miles, then the lower officials can still stand here and talk to the adults?"

Liu Yushi sneered: "Everyone is a scholar, Niu Zhizhou don't play these tricks." ”

"Bloody slaughter of 3,000 miles" is an allusion, originating from the ancient Warring States Period, there was a general who was thirsty for killing, and when he destroyed the enemy country, he led the army to slaughter 3,000 miles.

Later generations cited allusions to describe mass killings and brutality.

Although the barbarians harassed the border people, burned, killed and looted, the king of Zhenbei sent back to the Tang newspaper in the north, only saying that the barbarians were harassing the border passes, but they had been repelled by him with his troops, and the good news continued.

If the barbarians really committed the atrocity of "bloody slaughter of 3,000 miles", it would be the king of Zhenbei who lied about the military situation and seriously derelicted his duties.
