Feng Huan led 5,000 black cavalry troops to leave the capital with such great momentum that even Emperor Qianxing went to the city gate to practice for him. Although more than ten years have passed since the turmoil in Yunzhou, it has long been managed by people directly sent by the imperial court. But after all, it has been a feudal land for so many years, and with the remnants of the Zhennan King causing trouble, there has been no peace. Moreover, the neighboring country of Li has been on the verge of making troubles recently, and cross-border harassment incidents have occurred from time to time.
Emperor Qianxing's sending of Feng Huan was also used as a deterrent, and the reputation of the Black Cavalry has long spread throughout the world. Not only is the equipment excellent, but each soldier is brave and good at fighting. Separately, every soldier is a hero, and they are even more daunting when combined. The bandits who have been beaten for so many years are not for nothing.
Some people in the court felt that this move was inappropriate, and the situation in Yunzhou was already unstable, so if Feng Huan arrived, what would happen if he proclaimed himself king. Feng Huan is twenty years old but has no family. He has no wife or children, so he is afraid of not being able to stay in the capital.
Emperor Qianxing was furious, and said: "Feng Huan stayed in the capital, you said it was a threat, and when you put it in the frontier, you said you let the tiger go back to the mountain." To Quan said that he was afraid of dissent, but not to say that I was narrow-minded and distrusted people. This was forcing me to take his life. Can I become the executioner who kills my relatives because of unnecessary suspicion
Everyone didn't dare to say any more after hearing this, besides, who would dare to guarantee that they would not be dissatisfied when they sent others to guard there? If something goes wrong, the whole family's head is not enough to pay.
Emperor Qianxing came to practice in person, there must be a lot of ceremonies, and there will be a huge crowd of people, solemn and impatient to join in the fun, and he is not a member of the army, at most he can be regarded as a hitchhiker. It was an appointment with Feng Huan to meet in Beijing.
Although Feng Huan was not happy, he didn't say much.
The solemn carriage came to the place where Fang Yingying lived. Fang Yingying was ready and ran out as soon as she heard the sound.
With solemn eyes, Fang Yingying proudly showed off her men's attire. Although the style is simple and the fabric is only cheap fine cloth, it makes Fang Yingying even more beautiful.
"How about it, is it quite a bit of the heroic demeanor mentioned in the script?"
"Sister, I didn't hit you, you don't look like a man even in men's clothes."
Fang Yingying smiled and said, "I didn't intend to pretend to be a man. Women's clothes are too troublesome, so it's easier to move around in men's clothes. How about it? I'm in good shape, right? It took me several days to make it."
Since the two became sisters and brothers, Zhuang Zhong and Fang Yingying talked a lot more casually, "But you are dressed in light colors, and the road is dusty, isn't it easy to get dirty?"
"But it looks good like this! It's boring to be dressed in gray. Besides, the black cavalry are all in black, and I am in white to show my difference."
Although it is men's clothing, Fang Yingying has redesigned it so that it is neat and unrestrained without concealing her graceful figure. When a woman pays attention to her appearance again, it must have a new yearning for life.
The two went on the road, and solemnly exchanged their carriage to Fang Yingying. Although Fang Yingying was well-prepared, the three of them, master and servant, had no experience in long-distance travel, so the carriage was not so practical and comfortable. Zhuang Zhong had expected this a long time ago. When Lu's family helped him load the carriage, they told them to follow the woman's needs and preferences.
Although Marquis Wenyuan's mansion also helped him prepare, it was far less dedicated than Lu's family.
On the official road outside Beijing, dust was flying, and a horse galloped towards it.
"Why are you so slow!" Feng Huan said displeasedly as he jumped off the horse.
Zhuang Zhong opened the curtain and was quite surprised to see him, "Why are you alone, where are the other black cavalry?"
"It's all in the front. I thought something went wrong when you arrived late, so come and have a look." Feng Huan glanced inside the carriage, and saw another carriage following behind, his tense face eased a lot .
"We could hurry up, but we smelled a roast duck smell on the way, which is very fragrant. I heard that although this roast duck is not obvious in the alley, the taste is the most pure, and many people line up every day. Buy. I was curious and thought that you must have not eaten well after tossing around in the morning, so I went down to buy. This store is all freshly baked, and there are so many people, my sister and I just went shopping and were full. On the road again. I wrapped a thick layer of oiled paper and it is still warm, would you like to try it?" Zhuang Zhong took out a large bag from the carriage and handed it to Feng Huan.
Feng Huan took it, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, "You bought it for me on purpose?"
"I don't know if you like it?"
"I like everything you gave me." Feng Huan jumped onto the carriage, peeled off the greased paper, grabbed the duck's leg and broke it hard, then gnawed it on the spot.
Smiling solemnly, "Are you so hungry?"
Feng Huan handed the duck leg he took a bite of to Zhuang Zhong, "It tastes really good, try it."
Zhuang Zhuang looked at the duck leg that was missing a hole, and then looked at the half of the duck on the oiled paper, his meaning was not clear.
Feng Huan was upset, "What? Dislike my saliva?"
So solemn and helpless, he had no choice but to take the duck leg over, and took a bite out of the gap, "How can it be."
Feng Huan was satisfied now.
Zhuang Zhong secretly shook his head, how could such a big man be so childish.
Five thousand black cavalry walked on the road at the same time, with high spirits. The gangsters who had heard about it for a long time disappeared without a trace. Traveling far away in this world is not easy, not only because the transportation is inconvenient, but also because it is easy to encounter bandits on remote roads. There used to be officials who went to the local area to make appointments, but they were snapped halfway. Although the general gangsters would not embarrass the people of the government, for fear of causing disaster, there are also some desperadoes who want to scratch their skin no matter who they are.
This trip was much more comfortable than the last time Zhuang Zhong came to Beijing. A large group of people actually moved slowly like a picnic, completely different from the fast march that Zhuang Zhong thought.
"Is it going to be so slow?"
Shouldn't we all arrive sooner? It's outrageous to lead a group of soldiers wandering slowly.
Feng Huan was confident, "Don't be in a hurry, if we are in a hurry, some people will think there is a conspiracy."
After Zhuang Zhong heard this, he didn't ask further, "It's fine if you don't delay your business."
"My lord, little brother, it's time to eat!" Fang Yingying yelled loudly, after only staying with these soldiers for a few days, Fang Yingying completely lost the restraint of a lady. Being careless is to please everyone, and today he rides a horse by himself, and he doesn't want to stay in the carriage.
Although the black cavalry soldiers were all men, Feng Huan also had many female guards, and these people were all guarding Fang Yingying's side. The Black Cavalry Army was trained to be brutal but also respectful, with strict military discipline. Therefore, Fang Yingying is like a fish in water in the team, and she will not hide and hide because of the generosity of men and women, making it unpleasant along the way.
And the green curtain and Mrs. Li beside Fang Yingying made Zhuangzhuang very satisfied, especially Mrs. Li is a master cook. Although they rest at the post every night, they can only eat in the wild during the day. With Mrs. Li, they can eat more easily.
Although Feng Huan also brought a cook, he was still much worse than Mrs. Li.
In the wild, everyone didn't pay so much attention. Although Feng Huan came from a wealthy background, he never acted like a prince when he was in the army. So the food is delicious, but the tableware is not as complicated as usual. Everyone held a big bowl, no, it was a rice bowl to be precise, and sat on the ground to eat.
There is no way, the things prepared by the Lu family are so bold. Fang Yingying originally brought fine tableware, but it was too troublesome in the wild, so she waved her hand once and ate directly in the rice bowl. He also proudly said that eating like this is very delicious, and Zhuang Zhuang felt that he had spoiled a delicate, well-educated lady.
"It's wild mushroom soup today? It's so delicious. Mommy's cooking skills are getting better and better!" Zhuang Zhuang praised, picking up bowls and chopsticks to serve the soup.
Although Mrs. Li is an old cook, she has little experience in cooking in the wild. Although the taste was great at the beginning, it was not as good as her own, and now it is getting more and more slippery.
Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Young master likes it as long as you like it. These few days are the times when my Mrs. Li has the most sense of accomplishment. In the past, when I cooked a large table of rice, everyone applauded, but everyone ate small bites, and there was always leftovers in the end." It’s a lot, and I always feel uncomfortable looking at it, and I can still leave it if it’s delicious. But now it’s different, everyone eats cleanly, and the young lady’s appetite is three times larger than before!”
Fang Yingying smiled and said, "Mother, don't you mean that I've become a mess now?"
"It is a blessing to be able to eat, and you will be healthy if you eat a lot."
Although Fang Yingying used to be more handsome than ordinary ladies, the aesthetics here is as thin as a lightning bolt in modern times, so many women are very slender. Although he was mended with various prescriptions, his face would not turn pale due to lack of food, but his body was weak. Fang Yingying has a flamboyant personality and likes to ride horses, etc., but she is still only a little better than these people, which was highlighted when she suffered a crime before.
Lu Lian also said: "I used to think it would be better to be thinner and whiter, but now I think it's better for Miss to be like this."
Fang Yingying didn't stick to the carriage, and often sat on the front of the carriage to watch the scenery, so her whole body was completely darkened after being exposed to the sun.
"It doesn't count if you say it, little brother, do you think I look better now or before?"
Smiling solemnly: "Health is the most beautiful."
"I knew you would say that." Fang Yingying triumphantly said, "I'm going to cross the forest tomorrow, so I've agreed to go hunting."
Zhuang Zhong looked at Feng Huan, Feng Huan nodded, "As long as you don't go deep into the mountains, there will be no beasts. You can go and play. I always said that I want to teach you, so I can try it tomorrow."
"No need..." Zhuang Zhong felt lingering fear.
Feng Huan ignored him at all, "You are not good at riding a horse, I will take you on a horse tomorrow."
"I know it, I can do it myself..."
Feng Huan raised his hand to interrupt, and said righteously: "You want to run before you learn how to walk, what do you mean? Saying it will only embarrass me."
Zhuang Zhong was speechless. Before, Feng Huan said he wanted to teach, but he didn't have time. Now that he is humiliated now, even Fang Yingying can ride a horse alone, but he is a big man being taught by Feng Huan's arms. What the hell is going on with two big men riding a horse? !
And as long as the horse is obedient, what's the problem? ! He went to the park before and spent 20 yuan to run around, okay
But every time Zhuang Zhong wanted to ride by himself, the horse kept shaking like a madman, almost knocking him off, even after changing several horses. So Feng Huan said that he was not good at learning skills and taught him personally. If he didn't agree, it would be fine, and he would lose all his face.
It's not enough if you don't want to learn, Feng Huan said that you can't give up if you are a man, what else can Zhuang Zhong say
Now even the little girl Lulian can ride a horse, and she can walk slowly by herself, but he still can't! How stupid he is! It has become a big joke. He felt that there was something wrong with the way others looked at him. Even if Feng Huan silently hid to the side every time, it still couldn't smooth out his embarrassment.
Feng Huan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, I will definitely teach you before you arrive in Meimei County."
