After all, Li Jingji and Ye Xiaotian "lived together and died together" in Tixi Division, so when Ye Xiaotian was about to return to Hu County, Li Jingjing gave him a ride with loyalty, although it only took three miles.
At the three-mile road, at the three-way intersection, Ye Xiaotian looked at the only person in Tongren Mansion who came to see him off, Mr. Li Xiangrong, who had experienced from the sixth-grade experience hall, and was very moved. The poetic picture of "the wall is dead" was euphemistically described to him.
Li Ching reined in his horse, with a playful smile on his face, and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Li is going to Sanlizhuang to meet an elder of my family, and I will drop you off on the way, it is getting late, brother Ye, you are on your way now Well, along the way, do you still have to walk day and night, and all the grass and trees are soldiers? Haha, Li Mou is the only one who cherishes life like you in his life."
Ye Xiaotian swallowed the words that came to his lips, bowed his hands to Li Jing, and said neatly: "Goodbye!"
Ye Xiaotian set off on the road. There were six guards in the open and nine guards in the dark. The other one didn't die in Mercury Mountain, but was sent back to Hu County after he arrived at Tongren Mansion. more than a hundred soldiers.
Li Jingli thought that Ye Xiaotian would still be suspicious when he returned to Huxian County, and he was tossing around day and night, but he didn't know that Ye Xiaotian was very relaxed and leisurely on the way back. Every day at three o'clock, when the sun is shining, Ye Xiaotian is on the road slowly, and he starts to rest before You hour, when the wandering chickens raised by the farmers have not yet returned to their nests.
When Ye Xiaotian stayed, he chose to stay in a larger town as much as possible. The accommodation and food conditions here are relatively better, and the public security is also better. At the same time, Ye Xiaotian is generous, and the soldiers who escorted him all the way are very satisfied, so he is even more respectful to this Ye County Prime Minister. a bit.
In the evening of the same day, they stayed in a town again, rented a large house of a local rich family, and bought dozens of fat chickens and geese from the locals. To reward the soldiers of Tongren Mansion who escorted them along the way.
While the soldiers were drooling around several cauldrons, the door of the main room was closed tightly, and Ye Xiaotian was talking with Hua Yunfei who came in a hurry inside. When Ye Xiaotian sent someone to Hu County to report the news to Huazhi County, he asked him to spread a message along the way. After that, he went to Tixi Division, and when he returned to Tongren Mansion, he sent someone to notify Hua Yunfei to come.
Ye Xiaotian poured Hua Yunfei a cup of tea, and asked with a smile, "How is the situation in Hu County?"
Hua Yunfei said: "The news has already spread, and most of the common people already know about it."
Ye Xiaotian nodded and said: "Our Hu County has received the least amount of relief money in the past years, and the common people have criticized the government for being incompetent and not making decisions for the local people. The common people know that he bears a lot of infamy for nothing.
But I think it is not a bad thing to let the people know the truth. To deceive the people so that they don't know the truth, and when the people are angry, they only know to call them foolish and troublesome. I, Ye Xiaotian, don't do it. Yemou's difficulties should always be known to them. I believe that there are many sensible people among the common people. "
Hua Yunfei nodded and said yes, and said with a smile: "Brother is talking about it. It's just that now, there are far fewer people who would like to give gifts to our house. Originally, there were guests who came to our door every day. Since the news spread, in a few days I didn't see a single guest coming."
Ye Xiaotian smiled, and said: "If you eat people, you are soft-spoken, but if you take others, you are short-handed. This gift is very hot, so it's better not to give it up. After returning, according to what I said, all the gifts that have been accepted will be returned at the price."
Ye Xiaotian thought for a while, and then said to Hua Yunfei: "There is one more thing, after you go back, spread another message..."
Ye Xiaotian whispered a few words to Hua Yunfei, Hua Yunfei nodded, jumped up excitedly and said: "Then I'll go back."
Ye Xiaotian said: "Don't be so anxious, anyway, I walked slowly this way, leaving enough time for you, you can spend the night and rest after dinner."
Hua Yunfei said: "No, I won't feel at ease until I get things done earlier. I'm leaving now, with enough dried meat and dry food on me, besides, I'm used to walking at night."
"Okay! Then you..."
Ye Xiaotian nodded in agreement, but glanced at Hua Yunfei's bag, and suddenly called him again. Hua Yunfei turned around and said, "Brother, what else do you want?"
A playful smile appeared on Ye Xiaotian's lips. He walked slowly to Hua Yunfei's side, picked up the bag and looked at it, and said with a smile: "The newly made bag has very fine stitches."
Ye Xiaotian held the bag and sniffed his nose, and said: "Hmm! It's filled with freshly made sauced meat, it's very fragrant, better than our stewed fat chicken and duck."
Hua Yunfei looked uncomfortable, and said awkwardly: "Brother..."
Ye Xiaotian's hand slid from the bag to Hua Yunfei's waist again, and before Hua Yunfei could cover it, he quickly tore off the purse from his waist that was used to hold the scattered silver, carefully looked at it under the lamp and said: " Yo! The mandarin ducks are playing in the water, the embroidery is so delicate."
Hua Yunfei snatched it back, his face flushed. Ye Xiaotian looked at him with a half-smile, teasingly said: "Brother, you are in such a hurry to go back, maybe there is some other reason?"
Hua Yunfei gave a dry laugh twice, and subconsciously scratched the back of his head with a naive look. Ye Xiaotian happily thumped his chest, and said with a smile: "You really have it, the fourth lady is gentle and beautiful, knowledgeable and courteous, but a pretty little peach blossom is actually taken close by you."
Hua Yunfei blushed and said, "Brother, you...don't make fun of me."
Ye Xiaotian asked curiously: "Tell me, how far have you two reached? When can you drink your wedding wine?"
Hua Yunfei said, "This... this... I... I have to ask Si Niang to find out."
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "Si Niang is gentle and virtuous, but not a Hedong lion. I think you have to make decisions about this kind of thing, otherwise, no matter how willing she is, she will never urge you. It's done, you Since returning home is like an arrow, then go back now, if I want to keep you again, I'm afraid you will blame me for being incomprehensible."
Hua Yunfei was ridiculed by Ye Xiaotian, and he was completely powerless to retaliate, so he had to escape into the night quickly with a blushing face full of happiness and sweetness. In the sky, the stars blinked one after another, as if they were also shy This cute boy!
※※※
Starry, full of poetic and picturesque feelings. Two brothers and sisters, Tian Binfei and Tian Miaowen, stood on the terrace in the courtyard, and there was a pool under the stage. The spring water was tinkling, the fat fishes were swimming, the lotus leaves were swaying, and the lights were reflected. It was a beautiful picture.
Tian Miaowen stands with her hands behind her back, the pavilion looks like a demon lotus emerging from the water, her natural body is illuminated by a halo of light, exuding a more charming smell, making people want to hug her when they see her In it, crushed it and swallowed it before being reconciled.
Tian Miaowen looked at the ripples gently swaying in the water, and said, "Yang Yinglong is obviously going to manage Tongren, why are you still standing still?"
Tian Binfei's fascinated eyes slowly pulled away from her, and cast her eyes on the pool in front of her, and replied flatly: "After more than a hundred years, the influence of my Tian family on the old land has been deteriorating, and those chieftains have become less and less respectful of me. The Tian family took it seriously, if not, there would be no chaos in Mount Mercury.
Just look at it, the further you go, the more chaos and disputes there will be in the two states and eight prefectures that lose the order of my Tian family and are not restrained by the superiors. Only then will they understand that there is no Tian family without me, What does it mean to them, break up and then stand up, if we don't use strong medicine, how will my Tian family rise again? "
Tian Miaowen gave Tian Binfei a cold look, and said, "Yang Yinglong is not mediocre, you are playing with fire!"
Tian Binfei looked at her sister with a smile, and said: "Yang Yinglong is also playing with fire, he can do it, why can't I?"
Tian Miaowen snorted coldly, turned her head and said: "Zhang Duo sent someone to ask for help from my Tian family, do you want to intervene?"
Tian Binfei shook his head and said, "Do you think that if our Tian family comes forward to mediate now, they will sell us this face? They have long forgotten who is their master. Even if Yang Yinglong didn't secretly provoke them, sooner or later they would still have disputes , This is the price they should pay for their arrogance.”
Tian Miaowen said: "Zhang Duo has always treated our Tian family with respect and courtesy. If he asks our Tian family for help this time, but my Tian family stands by and does nothing, I'm afraid the old Tian family will be even more alienated."
Tian Binfei had a weird smile on his face, and said: "They have long been alienated from my Tian family. Do you think Zhang Duo has no selfish intentions? As I said, break it and then build it! If you don't break it, how can you build it?"
Tian Miaowen frowned, she could sense that Tian Binfei seemed to have made arrangements for Tongren, but all along, the two of them had to communicate with each other if they needed to communicate, there was no need to know, she never asked more questions, so she didn't understand him What exactly is deployed.
Tian Binfei let out a sigh of relief, and said to Tian Miaowen: "Rough Needle, you should think about how you will end up in Hu County. Now we can say that you have suffered a complete defeat in Hu County!"
Tian Miaowen sneered, stared at him and said, "Really?"
Tian Binfei said: "Isn't it? If I had helped you back then, you wouldn't have suffered such a miserable defeat. Tough Needle, you are too willful!"
Tian Miaowen snorted coldly, and said: "Do you think that Yang Yinglong used Zhao Wenyuan and Xie Chuanfeng as pawns to lay out the Huxian County, and I used Xu Boyi and Wang Zhushu as pawns, so I wouldn't be Mingxiu plank road? If it wasn't for me, Yang Yinglong would not 'Damn, let him mistakenly think that the Tian family who has been staring at him really turned their attention to Hu County, and he will launch the Mercury Mountain Rebellion in Tongren?"
Tian Binfei raised her eyebrows, and said, "So, you're just planning on doing it?"
Tian Miaowen raised her crooked eyebrows triumphantly, and said: "That's right! However, although I'm going to plan, since I've invested so much manpower and material resources in Hu County, how can it be just a false move and not really gain some benefits? His Yang family can afford to waste it, but my Tian family can't do it now.
Therefore, I still put in a lot of work in Hu County, and the post road is now under my control! For Yang Yinglong, the post road may not have that great effect, but it is not so for our Tian family. One day when Yang Yinglong raises the flag to rebel, if my Tian family can still guarantee that the post road will play a certain role in the imperial court, wouldn't it be a great achievement made by my Tian family? "
Tian Binfei said in astonishment: "Xu Boyi, Wang Ning, and Chang Zizai they supported have all collapsed. How could you... Do you have another manpower in Hu County?"
Tian Miaowen smiled without saying a word, stretched out her hand to grab a handful of fish food from the food box on the fence, and sprinkled it lightly into the water. The calm water surface suddenly became violent, and the fish gathered on the water surface to compete for food, and the waves were rough for a while.
Tian Miaowen looked at the fish scrambling for food in the water, and said in a low voice: "People often say, 'Man dies for wealth, and birds die for food'. Who knows that bamboo shoots fall into bamboos, and fish turn into dragons because of running around..."
