"All three of Ni Jidao and Meng Jiaqian were won over." After the banquet called "Jie Feng" to select a son-in-law, Rong Suihe and his party rested for a while in the small town before continuing on their journey.
After walking for two months, when he was resting in the middle, Gongsun Xi found Rong Suihe who was patrolling the team and reported in a low voice, "According to the spies, the Meng family made the decision on the marriage of three concubines in one go. Ni Jidao, Dai Therefore, every family in Lou Peng can get a daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law named Meng!"
"That General Meng, it's true that he has a family background!" Rong Suihe laughed dumbly when he heard this, "The Meng family relied on the Queen Mother to rise. Although Ru Ming has become a powerful figure in the court, she still can't get rid of the habit of using girls to pave the way. Bad habit! Fortunately, they have flourishing branches and many children. Otherwise, if they have the temper of marrying off clan girls if they don’t agree with each other, if there are not enough sisters, sisters, nieces, etc. in the family, I’m afraid not every girl will beg to be married by her brothers and uncles. Seven or eight times? How can we divide it later?"
Gongsun was pleased to see that he was relaxed. He thought for a while and finally asked: "Chief, are we not going to do anything? The three Ni Jidao have no moral character at all. Even if Meng Jiaqian is persuaded to side with him at this moment, Just ask us to give in to some conditions, they must ask for sway! Especially since ancient times, it is easy to put icing on a brocade, but it is difficult to send help when the snow is in the snow! Now that he is in full swing, will the Meng family be a defeated general? His injuries have not recovered. If he really fights for it, We actually have an advantage."
Rong Suihe shook his head and said: "Ah Xi, those three people have absolutely nothing to fight for. After all, our goal is to obtain the military power of the Western Xinjiang Army, but it is definitely not as good as Ming's, who is so corrupt that even the bandit in the mirror cannot control it. Western Xinjiang Army! In this case, what are you going to do with those three people from Ni Jidao? Are you going to let them continue to destroy military discipline and eat Nakaqiu?"
"But after all, they have been in the army for many years and have deep roots." Gongsun said happily, "Do you mean to belong to the East? It's better to be conceited. When the time comes, anyway, if the silverfish of the country crosses the river and destroys the bridge, then it will be done for heaven."
Rong Suihe said: "If we have enough time, we might as well make peace with them. No one can say how long those two people in Chang'an can last. They can't afford it at that time, but where did they come from? Kung Fu, take your time with them? He has already made arrangements to borrow the heads of those three people to frighten Western Xinjiang and pave the way for us to seize power! So there is no need to mention the word 'fight' again!"
Gongsun Xi pondered and said: "Then let's take over from the east?"
While they were discussing business, Sheng Weiqiao was also talking to Master Wu. Originally, Sheng Weiqiao was riding in the carriage with Xuan Yu and Master Wu, and Master Wu and his party were riding horses, but they were not walking beside the carriage, so they were not together.
But when the team stopped to rest, Jinli and Canyue took a perfectly chilled black plum drink from the ice bucket of the carriage for Sheng Weiqiao to enjoy, which was very popular with Feng. They thought that none of the members of the Wu family were women. , have you called Gongsun Yingdun and ordered him to send a pot of black plum drink to Master Wu
It turned out that Master Wu actually came over with two personal guards to express his gratitude.
The aunt and nephew asked her to shut up in the carriage, and ordered Jinli to put fruits and tea for tea. After a few words of greetings, Xuan Yu and Feng asked her about riding horses: "He saw that you have excellent riding skills, can you start from elementary school?" ? If you are already an adult, would it be difficult to learn how to ride and shoot?"
At first, Master Wu thought she was asking for Sheng Weiqiao. After hearing this, he looked at the princess in front of Dongqian. Seeing that she was red, tender and delicate, he smiled and said, "If you have good talent, it will be easy to learn." Yes. Even if you are less talented, you can find a docile horse and have an expert look after it, and you will only need to learn a few more months. It is not easy to learn in that season. The princess and princess have great blessings, not as good as those students. Why do people who are so miserable in the grass have to suffer that way?"
"The eldest master misunderstood, but he himself saw the eldest master and several others running around very freely. He was envious in his heart and wanted to imitate him." Xuanyu Feng said, "Of course, after hearing what he said, his niece I also want to join in the fun. You don't need to pay attention to her. It doesn't matter whether she knows how to learn or not. The important thing is that he... do you think he can learn? "
"..." Mr. Wu looked at Xuan Yu Feng in surprise. Although Xuan Yu Feng became the head of the family after her husband's death, her life had been smooth and happy, and she was much younger. But if she looked carefully at her facial features, After all, you can tell if you have any grandchildren.
For an old lady of that age, instead of enjoying the happiness at home, she traveled all the way to Western Xinjiang with her niece and nephew-in-law. That’s all. She really wanted to learn to ride a horse
Master Wu found the two aunts and nephews very interesting. They were very different from the noble ladies she had expected. With crooked eyes, she said, "Old Madam, she looks like a smart and intelligent person. What's so difficult about such a small thing? Old Madam." If you don't mind it, why don't you wait for Dong and ask someone to get a walking horse for you to try? Anyway, there was a lot of luggage at that time, and there were not enough horses to pull the cart. In fact, the team was moving slowly, and they couldn't use their legs at all. The speed is just right for you to feel the east."
Xuan Yu Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said hypocritically politely: "Would that be too troublesome for you?"
Seeing that Mr. Wu was waving his legs to show that he was fine, he happily agreed to Donglai. He immediately asked someone to go to the carriage behind and rummage through the boxes, "Find him some neat clothes. Look at him." With such a careless body, you don’t know how many things are moving even if you take a step, where is the right place for riding a horse?”
"He wants to go too!" Sheng Weiqiao saw the situation and said, "Canyue, I will also find him a place where he can move easily. He wants to learn from his aunt!"
When Rong Suihe, Gongsun Xi and others came back after explaining the matter, the aunt and nephew had each changed into a pair of narrow-sleeved short jackets and pleated long skirts. The brocade tightly tied up their waists, and they were happily talking. I got the carriage and asked to go to the resting place of Mr. Wu's family.
"Then what's going on?" Rong Suihe was secretly on guard against Mr. Wu. Naturally, he didn't want Sheng Weiqiao to get too close to that group of people. He frowned secretly when he saw this, and after asking about the situation with a smile, he said, "Good boy Nanny, I want to learn horse riding. When I go to Yizhou City, he will teach me specifically. Why bother with Master Wu? Besides, at that time, there were not only us walking, but also other people coming and going. Yes. Are they giving in to us? I have never ridden a horse. What if the horse loses control and hits someone?"
He also advised Xuan Yu Feng, "My aunt and I have accompanied us for such a long journey, so we can't leave immediately after arriving at Yizhou City, right? In this case, the moon is long, and it will be very hot at that time. , why rush now? After two months, when the weather gets cooler, and we can concentrate on learning again, he can also take the opportunity to find some good-looking walking horses for you, right?"
However, Xuanyu Feng refused and said: "It was rare for him to be so interested in his life. He wished he could learn to ride a horse sooner rather than later in a stuffy carriage all day long! I Just stop interrupting us. Besides, he is not in his seventies or eighty years old and makes us tremble with fear every step of the way. What does it mean if it is just hot? Is that really the Western Territory? No matter how hot it is, it can't be hotter than Nanfeng County."
Sheng Weiqiao was a little worried because she didn't know how to ride and endangered passers-by. Wu Dajia of Bu Nao patted her chest for a while and asked Ji Dong to perform a few unique tricks on the horse. After that, she threw Rong Suihe aside. I patiently told him not to come here to disappoint him: "Didn't I go very quickly? Just now Ah Xi asked me to shut up, but he didn't say anything. At that time, he and his aunt rarely found something to kill time, so I Why are you blocking him on the left and right? Move away, don't block him!"
"That little ancestor!" Rong Suihe twitched the corner of his mouth, wondering if that good girl was becoming more and more difficult to serve and disobedient. I really don't know where the good-natured and coaxing girl was before she got married.
Glancing at Xuan Yu Feng who was already happily stroking a walking horse next to him, he felt an arrow hit his knee...
"Then he should stay with us to avoid any trouble." Rong Suihe sighed secretly and said resignedly, "We have agreed. If we didn't learn well at that time, then we should be honest with him. Really get back in the carriage and don’t take any more risks!”
He was worried a lot, but the process of Xuan Yu Feng and Sheng Weiqiao learning riding went very smoothly. Although the two of them had always been pampered, their reactions were not slow, and they were indeed smart. The ladies in the Wu family were all very good at riding. He was superb and gave very good guidance, so when Xiao Banyue came to the east, the two of them could ride the specially selected docile mare on their own.
Another day later, Sheng Weiqiao could even shake the reins and trot back and forth around the team. This made her feel very proud. She thought whether she had surpassed Xuan Yu Feng's performance. She happily ran to ask Rong Suihe: "I How long did it take you to learn riding before? Is it as fast as him?"
"Of course my dear girl is the best!" Rong Suihe praised her with a smile, but immediately warned her nervously, "Hold the reins tightly, but don't let go of your legs!" "
Originally, the closer we got to Yizhou City, the more obvious the undercurrent became, but because the aunt and nephew were learning to ride horses, a group of women chatted and laughed, making the whole team a little cheerful.
They are most enthusiastic when they are new to learning something and have not mastered it yet. Since Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yufeng were able to ride a horse by themselves, they were reluctant to ride a horse-drawn carriage. Even if he entered Yizhou City in January, even though he was specially dressed up, he still ordered two powerful but gentle horses to go away, swaying behind Rong Suihe and Master Wu's walking horse. behind.
I originally thought that since Ni Jidao and others had been won over by Meng Jiaqian, they would not pay much attention to Rong Shuihe, the newly arrived governor.
Who would have known that they would go out together to meet Shili that month. Early in the morning, they would hang up gauze curtains and hold a simple banquet at a pavilion ten miles outside the city.
That situation made everyone in the team a little surprised when they learned about their choice. Rong Sleeping He was too lazy to talk to them, so he asked Xu Lianshan to send a servant over and told them: "The king of his family is tired from the journey and is eager to go to the city to accommodate the princess. As well as Mrs. Feng and other family members, I appreciate your kindness!"
After that, he threw his legs and left, not even bothering to listen to what Ni Jidao and the other three said.
At that time, the faces of the three people were green and red, and the gauze curtain of the pavilion behind them was also raised, and a breathless voice came out coldly: "The prince of the county has come all the way, even if he is not strong. I'm afraid of the long journey, and it would be hard for the accompanying county princess, concubine and other family members to come here. If the city of Yizhou is in the east of Zu, why not come and have some water and wine to relieve the fatigue?"
Following the words, two tough men dressed as personal guards came out expressionlessly pushing a wheelchair that was obviously made on the fly.
A man in a brocade robe with a red face was walking in a wheelchair. His eyebrows were straight and his eyes were like daggers. When he looked at Rong Suihe, there seemed to be a flame burning in his pupils, but there was not much resentment, but more appreciation and appreciation. The enemy's current fighting intention.
Rong Suihe stopped his riding horse, looked down at him from a high position for a moment, and smiled slightly: "General Meng?"
Meng Jiaqian nodded calmly: "I wonder if the county king is willing to reward me?"
"General, why don't you come all the way to Western Xinjiang?" Rong Suihe looked at him with a half-smile, then turned around and said, "If the road is bumpy, I'm injured here." Welcome, I naturally ask for that face."
Bu Nao did not step into the pavilion immediately, but turned around to help Sheng Weiqiao Dongma. He also watched Xuan Yu Feng's help from Master Wu as Dong Ma landed safely. Then he straightened the corners of his robe and went forward to fight with the Meng family. Greetings: "Please!"
However, at that time, he saw that Meng Jiaqian was paying attention to Sheng Weiqiao, and the young prince suddenly narrowed his eyes.
