In Yangzhou prefecture, the city of Jiangdu, which is known as "15 miles and 110 steps from north to south, and 13 steps from east to west" across Shugang, is still a scene of singing and dancing.
Except for the armored soldiers and many weapons and arrow towers added to the city, the sheep and horse wall newly built outside the city has been dug and opened up deep; most people still follow the life in this world's first-rate metropolis. The trajectory continues the journey of pleasure-seeking that reverses day and night.
It's like a few miles away to a dozen miles away, as if wars and turmoil in full swing did not exist at all. Because no one here would believe that those ragged grass thieves would have the patience and ability to shake this famous capital of Huaizuo.
It is important to know that in Yangzhou alone, there are Huainan Jiedu Envoys who claim to have 70,000 elite soldiers. In addition, the united children and defenders of the fourteen states of Huainan Road, as well as the townsmen and soldiers under the state, are also hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers.
And in this kind of deformed dream of life and death and extreme peace, with a wet mud, Bi Shiduo, the deputy capital soldier of Huainan, who returned from outside the city, passed through the Guangming Gate of Outer Guoluo City aggressively. After passing through the Yuanding Gate of the sub-city, he went straight to the Huainan Metropolitan Government and Jieya in the southwest of Shugang Daqiu.
"Quickly communicate with me. I want to meet the leaders and have important military information..."
However, he hit a wall here and was blocked in the waiting room.
"What, if I fell ill and didn't see foreigners, then who should I find..."
"I just want to ask for a reason, why the water was released to flood the West Field, and who was instigated and instigated. I followed the example of the 13th battalion of the Fifth Capital and the Thirteenth Battalion in the battle between the first army and the thieves, and they dispersed like this... "
"Harrier, don't worry, it's useless to say nothing here..."
It was the state governor and soldier Qin Yan in a hurry to persuade him in a hurry.
"Yan Nei is now Liang (Zan) marching Sima in charge. This father is Zhang (Lin)'s straightforward friend; he has never liked the background of a generation like me. It’s better not to have the opportunity to commit crimes in his hands. Well..."
Then, he was taken to the other corner of the inner city. The building was eight feet tall and rushed straight into the sky with purple smoke, in front of Yanhe Pavilion, which is known to be able to accommodate thousands of colleagues. Qin Yan said with earnest heart:
"Now, Ling Zhengyi is training in it... All internal affairs are arranged by this Mr. Lu."
. . . . . . .
In Dantu City,
She was very lazily wrapped in a silky bedding that was as soft as a texture. She only felt tired everywhere on her body, and there were no unforgettable traces left by the man; but her heart was uncommonly empty and unreliable. .
The first time, I thought I would really die; then I really felt that I was already dead. But this time, he couldn't cry like a whistle, cry like a child and tried his best, and he couldn't escape the result of fainting.
The man who suddenly broke into her life, although rough and frequent, was not like a former monk who was once pure-hearted. But she also completely shredded and smashed her. Since she fell into the dust, she has been shrouded in her heart, that layer of muddy and thick self-protection diaphragm.
In addition, it makes people feel that she is still a real, flesh and blood, emotional and crying little girl; instead of the song and dance team leader "Mian Niang" wrapped and concealed with false coldness and indifference.
At this time, she heard the two little waiters whispering in a small voice outside.
"Azhu, have you seen the cicadas, tiger steps, and rabbits, what happened to the old driver who kept talking..."
"Shut up, dumb goose, do you still think that the lady is not bitter enough to be bullied... Every time you die, you will die next moment..."
Hearing this, the girl's cheeks turned red involuntarily, and she felt that the fullness of a certain place in her body was almost overflowing.
It was a whole night from the bath to the bed, the residual aftermath of the bumps and swelling between the raging waves, just like a trace of squirming and twitching in the body, but it secretly gave birth to some faint charm and warmth.
"Come here, here comes the bad guy who always bullies the lady..."
However, the voices of the two little things quickly became a kind of panic. Then as the curtain was lifted up, that Ling left her unforgettable experience
The man appeared in front of him again.
"Do you have any plans in the coming days..."
Zhou Huaian said with a sense of relief as he watched the Chinese cabbage poured out by himself, and looked at the skin that was wrapped in the bedding like a jade.
"The slave thought, in addition to taking care of Lang Jun's daily life, I have a lot of free time, I wonder if I can divide the work for Lang Jun..."
Yao Niang said cautiously after hearing this.
"In a few days, the little lady Cao raised by King Huang may be coming over, so you..."
Zhou Huaian was straightforward. .
"The slave...the slave understands, the slave will move out now..."
After hearing this, Yao Niang's expression dimmed suddenly, and the unrealistic miss would eventually end; in a completely sinking mood, she tried to use a very calm tone. Then this sudden grief was interrupted by a strange feeling in his chest.
"What weird thing are you thinking about... Stupid woman... You are my fancy, why do you want to move out..."
Zhou Huai'an is rubbing her hands and feet at the point of her, isn't it possible that a woman doesn't have enough brains when it comes to the same kind.
"I just want to say, since they are coming over, how about you take care of the house affairs for me..."
Zhou Huaian smiled slightly.
"As one of the back homes, the preparation, deployment, and purchase will be left to you..."
"Thank you, Lang Jun's trustworthiness..."
At this moment, Yao Niang had mixed feelings in her heart. Both the joy and excitement of finally gaining one's own position, but also a sense of loss, this kind of exclusive and exclusive day is finally over. However, it turned into a gratifying smile on her face.
"Nudingrang will make the mistress relieved..."
Zhou Huaian naturally still has inadequate considerations and ideas; since the Cao daughter who was in charge of the marriage was married as a political marriage, she would naturally not be the only one who came here; in this case, she would have to be able to sustain it in her back home. Live the scene, or the corresponding existence of the overall situation.
Otherwise, it will really become a mere word of the hand brought by the other party; who knows how many hidden eyeliners or existences with special missions in it. In this case, it would be helpless to put the ducklings on the shelves.
At least she, who was given out as an item, didn't have much sense of belonging or even estrangement and rejection there; she could play the role of checks and balances more or less.
"In that case, in order to live up to the Lord's entrustment... the slave wants to find some more helpers... let... Dudou and Zhuer also come and help..."
Two blushes flashed on the pretty face of Yao Niang, but she was expecting and hesitating again and again in her heart.
"I'll leave it to you to take care of it. You don't have to ask for instructions on everything, you also have to be a little confident and decisive."
Zhou Huai'an accidentally put his hands together on her, unaware that the part where she came out was walking affirmatively.
"Only the person you are looking for is as reliable and capable as possible... Of course, reliability is the priority in everything."
"If it's reliable, then go around and live, but you can still get into the eyes of the dear Langjun..."
The young lady who had turned flushed by the strange feeling could not help but suddenly felt in her heart and decided to inquire carefully.
"Speaking of your own decision, I just want the result. As the saying goes, you don't need to hire people, you don't need to be suspicious, and you should have a little confidence in yourself..."
Zhou Huai'an was also eager to get closer and closer to her, and then suddenly stopped moving and said in a serious tone.
"Nunu understands..."
After confirming that the man's mind did not seem to be fake, the girl could not help but a trace of joy and eagerness rushed into her heart again; she finally had a place by her side. Then it quickly turned into a kind of guilt and a faint sigh.
Because, it also means that after all, I have become the kind of person I once hated the most. If it was a reliable and heartfelt guarantee, what could be comparable to that method, but it would violate the oath to do everything possible to protect them.
In this feeling of self-pity and self-pity, she was repressed on the couch, weak but eager to refuse, and ushered in a kind of self-atonement and punishment-like cruel "whipping".
On the dock where he was welcoming the envoy the next day, Zhou Huaian was taken aback when he saw the fluttering welcoming ceremonial envoy. The slender waist and the texture that can be broken by blows make this loose Pu sweater robe unable to conceal the nature of being the opposite sex.
. . . . . .
In Gangneung, with the arrival of another wave of people by ship, the already noisy and busy wharf has become more and more noisy.
"The Taiping Army, it really is to rule the peace..."
Standing on the bank of the Yangtze River, a walking businessman with a draped face in a coarse cloth shirt couldn't help but sigh at his companion.
"The robbers on this road are extinct but not in exile, business travelers are like weaving, and the post and the bargain are also very good, but they are a little safer than under the rule of the imperial court..."
"It was said that the Taiping thief treated business travelers kindly and encouraged the breeding of goods, but now seeing is believing..."
The character dressed up as a poor businessman actually came from the Dao Wang Xianpo, a great merchant in the Guan. Ever since the big father Tian in Ouchi began to cleverly set up a name for the emperor to enrich Daying's internal treasury, the businessmen in the east and west cities of Beijing, plus the businessmen in the Ninety Eight Squares, went bankrupt and even broke their families. Even the corresponding Xingdong and Xingshou homes are inevitable.
Although he is a leader in Nancha, one of the two hundred and twenty rows in the middle east city, and is good at managing and clearing the inside and outside, he has inevitably suffered a lot of blood; he has changed several industries in Beijing. Can be supported. Therefore, this secret visit to the south is not only a pursuit of profit but also an act of seeking change and self-help.
After all, according to the tea sage Lu Yu's "Tea Classics"; it can be said that with the exception of Sanchuan, most of the tea-producing areas in the south have fallen into the grasp and occupation of the Taiping Thieves.
However, just the year before last, the great father Tian Lingzi squeezed out the well-known Cui Anqian through the anecdote of "polo wins and loses the three rivers", and placed his elder brother Chen Jingxuan in Xichuan, and the tea in Shu also became This is forbidden by the franchise for profit.
The various tea-producing places in the Northland were fragmented and divided under the rule of various vassals; it was also one of the sources of money for the local Luo Kuo army. It can be said that the cost of trafficking tea for profit is high, and there is also the risk of losing people and goods on the way.
Therefore, in order to open up new trade routes and sources of goods, he could only sneak into this place by personally taking risks, claiming to be trapped by thieves and perished in deep water. (End of this chapter)
