The official road from Arashijo to Izumo is filled with tractors, horse-drawn carriages, and pedestrians.

Since its completion, the road has brought a lot of vitality to these two regions, and it is not an exaggeration to call this road the main artery of the giant.

At this time, a group of 100 horsemen was hurrying down the wide road, occasionally passing a tractor carrying a large amount of goods.

This new type of transport is now gradually replacing the ox carts and horse-drawn carts of the past.

And this trend is getting faster and faster.

Because the concrete road, although flat, is very laborious.

The people here do not know the force to work, but they understand that the road is so hard that the horses need to recuperate after a few runs on the concrete road.

Every 200 miles on the road, there is a so-called post station, where you can rest, eat, sell biodiesel, and inspect and repair tractors.

This makes everyone feel convenient and reassuring.

It was nearly dark, and Baiqi stopped in front of a post station.

The post station was located on the side of the road, and an area of thousands of square meters was expanded, and a row of small two-story buildings were erected, and the brick and stone structure was erected, which was completely different from the previous buildings like those in Arashi.

The red brick walls, which are crawling with plants, also look quite exquisite.

The enticing aroma of food is emanating from a small building near the edge.

"Stop, mount, rest. ”

With the leader's order, the hundred horsemen stopped, jumped off their mounts, and tied their mounts to the beast pen on the side.

A hundred jumping sheep were brought in, and they only accounted for one-third of the place.

When everyone entered the station, they saw a row of electric lights hanging above the lobby, just like the street lamps in Arashi, which did not require grease and other combustibles, and did not choke on smoke, it was clean and bright.

The lobby is very large, with dozens of wooden tables set up, most of them are seated, ancient tractor drivers dressed in animal skins, Izumo merchants wearing silk silk, Izumo guards with solemn expressions, and Jing people sitting in the corner with a low profile, sitting in this lobby, accompanied by the occasional delicate female voice.

After the hundred people came in, they attracted the attention of many people, but when they saw the dress of everyone, they looked away one after another.

The word Ducha was written on the clothes, but the knife on his waist was a standard long knife of flying horses, which was three points longer and one point wider than the knife of the ordinary ancient army.

I don't know what kind of new department this is, but Dayao often has some new departments, such as the Department of Commerce, such as the newly established Department of Transportation, such as the Department of Prices.

Although they don't know what department it is, everyone can see that these people are all coming out of the flying horse, and when they go out, their eyes must be bright, and these businessmen who have been going back and forth on this road all year round know this truth very well.

The first was a woman with a scorpion tattoo on her cheek, and nearly 100 men were also full of ferocity, and they always seemed to be provocative and banter when looking at people.

100 people sat down at ten tables, ordered barbecue, vegetable broth, roasted potatoes, and wine, and began to eat in silence.

However, when eating, I also pay attention to my surroundings.

Soon, the hands of several people on the food stopped, and they looked up to the side.

A man dressed in splendid clothes walked towards the crowd.

"Dare to ask, is this Captain Hua?" the man smiled at the woman who led the team.

"Who are you?" Hua Qinghua glanced up at the other party.

"Last time I was in front of the bank, I was able to break the siege with Captain Hua, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to see him after that. I don't know if I can invite Captain Hua to have a drink with you?

"Finished?" Hua Qinghua looked at the barbecue in front of her, and her eyelids didn't move.

"Well, that's it. ”

"You're delaying my meal. "The meaning of Hua Qinghua is obvious, you are in the way, get out of here.

The middle-aged man's face was not too surprised, although he was a little embarrassed, he still kept his demeanor and bowed his hand to Hua Qinghua: "Then I'll leave below." Last time, thank you Captain Hana. ”

Hua Qinghua didn't say a word, and continued to greet the barbecue in front of her.

The middle-aged man returned to his seat, smirking at himself.

"It's deflated!"

At the same table with him was a wealthy merchant of about the same age.

"Expected. "Middle-aged humane.

"The ancients are all stones! Oil and salt don't get into that. The rich merchant chuckled quietly.

Middle-aged people think so.

However, he is still a little concerned about the "Ducha" clothes on Hua Qinghua and others.

When Hana Qinghua and the others came, everyone heard the direction of the hoof, and it was heading towards Izumo.

Don't know what to do.

......

This incident was just a small episode, Hua Qinghua and the others rested at the post station for a night and then continued to set off.

Two days later, they arrived in Pingdu.

First, according to Ren Baqian's instructions, he got some information from the people who guarded the Governor's Mansion, rested for a night and asked about some things, and then went straight to the Governor's Mansion.

It took some time, and Hua Qinghua finally met Zidonglai.

Zi Donglai is a man who looks to be in his thirties and is quite handsome.

His face was as sharp as a knife and axe, and his eyes were extremely sharp.

If Zi Donglai is the most handsome guy in the ancient clan, there must not be many people who will object.

Even Hua Qinghua lost her mind for a moment after seeing Zidong coming.

"I haven't heard of it. What do you mean?" Zi Donglai sat down on the top and said lightly.

Hearing this, Hua Qinghua was solemn and took out an edict from her bosom, to the effect that the Metropolitan Prosecutor was responsible for picketing the conflicts and contradictions between the ancient tribes and the Izumo people in Izumo District, as well as the incident of the Northeast Metropolitan Protector soldiers harassing the people.

When Zi Donglai heard this, his eyes flickered, and he was a little colder.

"Is this what Your Majesty means, or does Prince Zhao mean?"

"Your Majesty's handwritten book naturally has Your Majesty's meaning. Hua Qinghua flipped the edict over and gave Zidong a look.

"Izumo is newly determined, and there are many rebellions among the people. Zi Donglai said with a cold face.

In fact, Zi Donglai has a cold face at all times.

"It's one thing to betray the party, but it's another thing for the guards of the capital to harass the ordinary people!" Hua Qinghua pulled out another piece of paper from her waist: "On September 11, Captain Tie Fengbao beat up Li Wenwen, a local merchant, after drinking in the Qinglou, causing him serious injuries!"

"On September 19, Commander Qin Huya's corporal was collided with on the road, picking provocations and injuring thirteen local people, including Huang Qu and Shen Du, all of whom were seriously injured. ”

"On October 6, Captain Xu Sanhua led his corporal to beat up four people, including Yuan Qing and Liu Dong, in the restaurant, and then left their names, which had a bad impact......

"October 11th ......"

"That's enough, you're well prepared. They are all my subordinates, what are you going to do?" Zi Donglai waved his hand to interrupt Hua Qinghua's words and said coldly.

"In the past three months, there have been thirteen attacks on the people in Heito alone, and countless in the entire Izumo region. According to His Majesty's decree, these men must be court-martialed, and they must be punished in a conspicuous place in the city, as an example!"

"It is a matter of military law to be punished, to be punished in a conspicuous place in the city, even if it is an order from His Majesty, Bendu Protector will not be ordered!" Zidong got up after speaking: "You wait and retreat." ”

"Ziduhu, do you want to resist the order?" Hua Qinghua flashed in front of Zi Donglai, who wanted to leave.

"Presumptuous!" several of the guards in the tent were furious.

"You dare to stop me?" Zidong looked at Hua Qinghua with dangerous indifference in his eyes.

"Zi Duhu, the order was given by His Majesty! I am here to be the judge, and I have the duty to investigate such matters!" Hua Qinghua stopped there without retreating. "If you want to disobey, Your Majesty will surely be angry!"

"I, Azusa Donglai, and many soldiers of the Imperial Protectorate, have made great contributions to Izumo, so there are a few flaws, and it is impossible to punish them in public here. Your Majesty's order, Bendu refuses to accept the order, you can return to report, if Your Majesty wants to punish me, I am willing to accept it!"

Hua Qinghua saw that Zi Donglai had made up her mind, and immediately gritted her teeth.

As soon as I came here, this Zidu Hu refused to accept the order, and this errand was really not easy to do.

I was secretly angry in my heart, and I felt a strong force push me away.

Zi Donglai stretched out his hand and waved it out of thin air, making her take a few steps back.

As soon as Hua Qinghua came back to her senses, Zi Donglai was out of the account, and Hua Qinghua hurriedly caught up.

"Stop!" Zidong came to many guards to stop Hua Qinghua.

"I have His Majesty's warrant, I can go unhindered, who will stop me?" Hua Qinghua took out the warrant from her arms with a sneer.

The momentum of the many guards suddenly froze.

Zi Donglai glanced at her, snorted coldly and ignored her, and left directly.

However, what he didn't expect was that Hua Qinghua followed him step by step.

Whether he was eating or sleeping, Hua Qinghua would definitely appear beside him, and he would take out the empress's order and read it out every now and then.

If it had been someone else, Zi Donglai would have been slapped to death with one palm.

But Hua Qinghua is holding the empress's warrant after all.

After a while, he was quite annoyed, he couldn't beat him, he couldn't drive away, so he simply signaled the guards to scold Hua Qinghua, trying to force her to retreat.

How could I have thought that Hua Qinghua scolded many guards alone, and his face was like earth, and he couldn't open his mouth.

But Zidonglai couldn't do what the edict said, so that the soldiers could receive military law on the street and be watched by the Izumo people.

This is the stubbornness of a general.

Whatever they have done, they are all my soldiers, and how can they be humiliated in front of men?

The two sides have been at a stalemate.

When Ren Baqian received the news, he was also quite helpless.

Hua Qinghua's trick dog skin plaster tactic was indicated by him, after all, Zi Donglai has a very high reputation and great credit, even the empress will not move him easily.

But if these things are not dealt with, the people of Izumo will always be hostile to the ancient clan.

If you want to absorb a country as a part of Dayao, you must combine rigidity and softness, and reward and punish justly.

He also made such a bad move in desperation.

Now let's wait to see how long Zidong can endure it!

Ren Baqian pressed this in advance and waited for Zidong's reaction.

I still have so much to do on my hands that I can't put too much energy into it.

......

A year later, the two are still at a stalemate.

Hua Qinghua lived directly in the Metropolitan Mansion, and every day was like the shadow of Zidong.

Even the guards from Zidong and the generals of the Imperial Protectorate were accustomed to this presence.

And Hua Qinghua never forgot her duty, and almost every day she did not forget to read His Majesty's edict to Zidonglai, and at the same time asked her subordinates to bring new news about the attack on the people by the guards of the Imperial Palace.

I don't know if it's thanks to her efforts, this kind of thing seems to have been less in the past six months.

......

Two years have passed, and Ren Baqian sometimes forgets about it.

On this day, after reading the phone sample that had just been made, Ren Baqian asked Hua Qinghua about the current situation by the way.

I didn't expect Zi Donglai to be able to stalemate for so long, which made Ren Baqian quite helpless.

"Your Highness, I just got the news that Zidu Hu wants to marry Hua Ducha in three months!"

Ren 8000: ???

Ren Baqian's face suddenly became extremely exciting.

I felt depressed in my heart, and I didn't know how to speak.

It feels like a dog on the day.
