Chapter 187
On the twenty-first day of June, Bai Lijing and her subordinate soldiers arrived at the south gate of the Beijun Palace, the city gate was closed, and the feudal army guarding the city shouted on the city tower: "Who is coming?!" ”
"Bold! Princess Rongchang was ordered to supervise the army, and she didn't go out of the city to greet her! The captain of the guard beside Bai Lijing shouted in the air. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The imperial court's appointment documents have long been promulgated, although not many people have seen Princess Jing, but the sun and moon fluttering high with the Huipan Dragon Flag, as well as the Jingying Tiger Banner that symbolizes the Situ family, even the guards guarding the city can't not know each other, are they really clumsy or deliberately making things difficult? Or was it wartime caution that even the troops from the south were classified as enemy troops?
The captain of the feudal army on the city tower only reacted at this time, and took a closer look at Bai Lijing, who was dressed in military uniform, and said a few words to the soldiers behind him in a little panic, and after a while, the city gate was opened, and a group of people knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Princess Rongchang is Chitose!" ”
"King Jinyang really governed the army rigorously and disciplined...... Get up. Bai Lijing opened her mouth, but did not pursue the negligence of the other party, but praised it.
After speaking, he drove his horse into the city gate, and when the scenery in the city of Beijun Mansion became clear little by little as the army entered, Bailijing found that compared with Shengjing, this place was too desolate, and there were large areas of barren grass on the outskirts of the city, and the city was nothing more than that-the people along the way were in rags, huddled together as if they were watching the excitement, and they looked at the armor from a distance.
Bailijing saw at a glance that the tallest building in the city was a pagoda, and the design of each floor of the tower window and the tower body was different from that of the south. The farther you go into the city, the closer the stupa gets, but it seems that it is still far away, and you can't touch it. The merchants in the city rose up, but they sold most of the necessities of life, none of them were useless ornaments or countless strange things like the morning and night markets in Shengjing, and the faces of the people were blown up by the wind and sand in the north, and they did not look as fine and tender as the people in Shengjing......
Baili Jing had mixed feelings in her heart, she thought that she could raise a clean and handsome person like Han Ye, the water and soil in the northwest must be extremely beautiful, even if it is not a beautiful mountain and clear water, it must be rich in water and grass, but it is ridiculous that she has been sitting in the well and watching the sky for too long, thinking that the world is Lutai Mountain except for Shengjing City, and there are beautiful scenery everywhere.
However, the distant North County Mansion, the North County Mansion that she once longed for so much, the place that was so beautiful in her girl's dream, turned out to be nothing more than that.
"The Jinyang Palace's pick-up is late, and I ask Princess Rongchang to atone for her sins!"
A clear young male voice suddenly appeared in front of him, Bai Li Jing looked at it, there were more than a dozen people kneeling on the official road in the desolate city, and the one headed by was wearing a white brocade robe, and the brocade robe was embroidered with yellow silk threads with a four-clawed dragon, which was the skin color of the Han family, the king of Jinyang, and his identity looked similar to Han Ye.
But that person was obviously more rude than Han Ye, because without waiting for Bai Lijing to speak, his eyes actually dared to look straight at her, and they seemed to be full of interest. Judging from his age, he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his facial features are somewhat similar to Han Ye, and the most unsimilar thing is these annoying eyes.
Bai Lijing looked at him for a while, he didn't mean to look away at all, Bai Lijing endured it without having a seizure, and sneered: "Who are you?" What about the King of Jinyang? ”
The Northwest Supervisor of the Holy Lord, and the noble Princess Jing of Daxing, whether it is public or private or the number of courtesies of the monarch and ministers, the King of Jinyang should come to greet him in person, at this time, I saw more than a dozen people hastily stopped at the intersection, and there was a kid who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth was so presumptuous!
The white-clothed young man smiled and said, "The minister is Han Bei, the third son of Jinyang Palace, and he has seen Princess Rongchang. My father went to the front line to inspect because of the war, so he couldn't greet him personally, and asked his ministers to entertain the princess well, not to be lazy, and to ask the princess for forgiveness. ”
Went to the front to inspect it? Baili Jing frowned, why is it so coincidental?
And Han Bei said sorry, but his eyes were still staring at Bai Lijing, and he didn't mean to be sorry at all. Bai Lijing was finally aroused, and the long whip was swung out, and a gust of wind swept through Han Bei's cheek, hitting him to the side, but he was blinded by the flying dust, and he hurriedly covered his eyes and screamed in embarrassment.
"There is no humility! No one in the world dares to look at this palace like this, the third son of Jinyang Mansion is really bold! This time I will teach you a little lesson, and next time this palace will definitely gouge out your eyeballs and tell you to take a good look! Bai Lijing sneered.
When the subordinates behind Han Bei heard this sneer, they didn't dare to move anymore, and their bodies became more and more low.
"Since King Jinyang is not here, then take me to see Princess Yue." Bai Lijing said immediately.
"If you go back to Princess Rongchang, Princess Jin is weak and recuperates outside all the year round, and she doesn't see guests." One cautiously replied.
This Baili Jing sneered even more, looked at the clear whip marks on Han Bei's white skin, and said: "King Jinyang is not here, and Princess Yue is not here, is the entire Jinyang Royal Mansion ruled by your little third son who has no one in his eyes?" If that is the case, the palace will be quite disappointed......"
Han Bei lowered his head slightly, and it was not easy to have thousands of hatreds in his heart, and his face was blue and white, but because of Bailijing's identity, no matter how arrogant he was on weekdays, he didn't dare to provoke her again, so he had to look up at her and lowered his eyes and said: "Princess Jing is angry, Han Bei is young and has never seen the world, which makes the princess unhappy Han Bei is willing to be punished." It's just that the princess came from afar, and the long journey must be very hard, please go to the post station to rest first, and Han Bei ordered someone to inform his father. ”
Bai Lijing saw that he finally said something human, so she dissipated her anger: "Okay, let's lead the way ahead." ”
Han Bei stepped on horseback and led Bailijing and his party to the post station, and it was dark before they settled down, and when they were about to retire, Bailijing stopped him and asked, "How long does this palace need to wait for King Jinyang?" ”
Han Bei stood on the low steps and said respectfully: "Don't dare to make the princess wait for a long time." ”
After saying that, he withdrew with his entourage.
On the way back to the Jinyang Palace, Han Dong, a personal attendant, said: "Third son, my subordinates said early in the morning not to anger this Princess Rongchang, your injuries ......"
Han Bei put his tongue against his cheeks, and he twitched in pain, the whip was very skillful, covering half of his face, but it was considered merciful, and it could be eliminated in about three or four days, his smile was unique to the arrogance of a teenager: "I heard that she and my eldest brother are from the famous Lutai Mountain, her martial arts are good, and her temperament is spicy, her marriage is known to the world a few months ago, I am very curious, what does she like about my eldest brother?" When I saw it today, it was really a hot Nanban chick, and she could open a dye shop by giving her a few colors. On another day, when I have power, I will make her taste regret! ”
Listening to what he said, the more outrageous it became, his henchman Han Dong hurriedly looked around, and reminded: "Third son, don't be confused, be careful that the wall has ears, after all, now she is a king, you are a minister, and the rules that should be observed still have to be observed, if the news leaks, it will be detrimental to the overall situation!" ”
Han Bei said impatiently: "Got it! Chirping crookedly all day long, and I'm a three-year-old child! What if they hear it, and I'm afraid they won't make it? My father has six sons, although my eldest brother is from the princess and has a noble status, it is a pity that he was trapped in Sheng Jing and became a proton, and he was the first to die after the incident, so he is not a threat at all! Although the fourth and fifth brothers are the same age as me, their mothers are not loved by their fathers, and they only have the courage to dance with knives and guns all day long, and they can't even see their fathers a few times a year. The sixth brother is only a ten-year-old child, and I can pinch him to death with one hand. If something big happens, how many of them do I have to worry about? ”
Han Bei said that he was in a good mood, touched his face, and "sizzled" in pain: "This princess Jing really annoys me all over my stomach, she looks so beautiful, she can be called the best in the world, but I don't know how hard she is in bed, can her sick husband satisfy her?" ”
Han Dong sighed helplessly, this unobstructed problem was going to happen sooner or later, he could only remind tactfully: "You should be more restrained recently, and there will be more girls when the big thing becomes a big thing." ”
Han Bei jumped off the horse unmoved, went straight into the gate of the Jinyang Palace, threw the whip to the people behind him, and strode towards the backyard, but was stopped at the door: "Third son, the prince said not to go in and disturb him." ”
From the courtyard gate, he could see that the light was on in the study, and Han Bei suddenly sneered very dissatisfiedly: "Master Mu, is this what you mean, or is this what your father means?" Princess Jing and her entourage have been placed in the post station, and I have something to tell my father in person. ”
Mu Junshi was indifferent to Han Bei's sneer, and never moved a step, and said with a smile: "The prince already knows the situation in the post station, just let the third prince do what he wants." The third prince knew the temper of the prince, and he said that if he didn't see it, he wouldn't see it. ”
“…… All right. Han Bei was deflated, even if he went to King Jinyang again, he still didn't dare to be too arrogant, but he refused to lose face in front of the little military advisor, and hummed: "Mu Junshi, it's not too early, you should go and rest early, you have been staying here with my father all these years, it is really impossible to distinguish who is the master and who is the slave." ”
After Han Bei finished speaking, he turned around and left, not seeing the smile in the eyes of Mu Junshi. Although there are many sons of the Han family, only one of them has the style of an emperor, and the rest are either reckless or strong outside, and there is more than enough success.
Sometimes, however, it takes these rebellious and mediocre talents to achieve great things.
……
Because the king of Jinyang was not there, he could not inspect the feudal army guarding the city, so the next day, Bailijing took a turn in the small Beijun Mansion and finally found the location of the pagoda - Han Yekou's Fahua Temple, which has the same name as Shengjing, is so desolate and dilapidated that there are almost no pilgrims in sight, and the weeds grow as tall as a person, and it is difficult to even walk.
The stupa was made of stone, and the two dark doors on the ground floor were locked, and there was a creepy feeling when standing in front of the door, as if there was some secret hidden there, and people wanted to explore but did not dare to approach.
I don't remember Han Ye's expression when he mentioned the Fahua Temple in Beijun Mansion, maybe it wasn't as bleak as it is now many years ago, but it was ruined over time.
That's how many things are, right?
Anyway, the fantasy Fahua Temple in her heart in the northern Xinjiang has been completely replaced by the bleak scene in front of her, so that she even dried up her illusions.
Walking out of the gate of Fahua Temple, turning over and getting on the horse, I looked back, only to see several vultures hovering at the top of the pagoda, and one vulture fell down, standing on the spire, looking around the vast land with a scrutinizing attitude, looking for carrion enough to satisfy the stomach.
"Driving-" Bai Lijing retracted her gaze, and then rode away without hesitation, a point closer to Han Ye, and a point farther away.
……
Waiting until the evening of the third day, there was still no news from King Jinyang, Bai Lijing was furious at Han Da: "Isn't the third prince teasing the palace?" The king of Jinyang came back from the Jizhou front, at most one day, but you made the palace wait for two days, and there was still no news, how much time can the palace waste here? ”
Han Bei actually changed his previous arrogant attitude, and knelt down in fear and said: "The reason for this, please listen to the minister." A while ago, General Zhengbei was captured by the Turks, which made his father blame himself. The princess also saw all the way, what kind of life the people of the Beijun Mansion lived, just because the grain harvest was not good this year, and the relief of the imperial court had not yet arrived, and both the people and the border soldiers were hungry and sluggish. Dingxiangguan is the closest to the Beijun Mansion, and a few days before the accident, my father had already drawn grain from the little remaining grain depot to support Dingxiangguan, but he didn't want to be too late, and watched General He be captured. This incident made my father haunted and felt sorry for the court and the people. However, rumors of General He's surrender intensified, and it was rumored that General He would marry a Turkic princess and personally lead troops to fight against Daxing......"
"Shut up!" Baili Jing suddenly pulled out the Sun Moon and Huihui Panlong Sword on her waist and pressed it against Han Bei's throat, "If you dare to slander him again, I want your life!" ”
Han Bei didn't dare to move, his eyes drooped and stared at the bright sword, and he gasped nervously: "If Princess Jing doesn't believe it, just look at the front line." It is said that General He's first attack will be the fortress where General Situ is stationed...... Huangshui Pass. ”
Bai Lijing was devastated by Han Bei's words, although she warned herself that she was not allowed to believe it, but even if she lent Han Bei a hundred guts, how dare he fabricate such a lie? If He really led the troops to fight against the second uncle, father and son, then the treason would be an ironclad fact! Or, if they can't wait for the day when the father and son will fight each other, because the second uncle has a heavy army, the father will definitely deprive the Situ family of all military rights, so as to prevent their father and son from collacting with each other and plotting against each other!
He would not do such a rebellious thing, there must be a reason for it! And this reason, she didn't find it herself, no one could tell her, and no one would believe anyone who told her!
"Set off immediately and head to Huangshui Pass!" Bai Lijing put the sword into the sheath, and when the sword edged over, she cut off a strand of Han Bei's long hair, which fell lightly on his shoulder.
Although Liu Changqing had doubts in his heart, he did not stop her, Huangshui Pass is the northwestern location of Daxing's territory, and the northwest borders Western Qin. This time, the Turks went south, and the war not only did not affect Western Qin, but caused trouble in Lutai Mountain, another border where the two countries had been peaceful. Many strategists have to speculate that the reason why the Turks are raging in the south is because of the contribution of Western Qin? The Western Qin Emperor was young and ruthless, and a few years ago he formed an alliance with Daxing to retreat from the Turks, and no one knew whether he would collude with the Turks to subvert Daxing's territory......
There is far from a long-term alliance between the two countries, only long-term interests.
When Bailijing and her party went to the northwest and raised the dust in the sky, Han Bei touched his neck and sneered: "Stinky girl, want to kill me?" Hmph, when you die in Huangshui Pass, you will know my methods! ”
Han Dong suddenly pushed him and said, "Third Son, look at ......"
Han Bei turned his face impatiently, but saw a person standing on the distant city tower, quietly staring at the distant figure of Bailijing and others, the red glow on the horizon reflected his figure, he couldn't see his face clearly, he couldn't see his clothes clearly, he could only see the black straight silhouette and the high erected crown.
"Father?" Han Bei frowned.
"And the Wood Division." Han Dong added.
……
"I want his daughter to be a prisoner, a girl who has not dried up, what does this king have to say to her?"
The low, muddy voice, the northwest wind and sand blew coldly, as if talking to oneself.
Mu Junshi said: "The prince really doesn't have to be condescending. ”
"Their daughters, too." King Jinyang seemed to laugh.
Mu Junshi heard this, but did not answer. The king of Jinyang had six sons, but none of them had a daughter, but apparently, his scorn was not for this.
When the team of 5,000 people had disappeared to the west, Mu Junshi spoke: "Lord Wang, it is Princess Rongchang's concubine who is supervising the grain and grass in the northwest this time, and the sick seedling who stays at home in the legend. ”
"The normal people of their Baili family are dead." King Jinyang's voice was cold, "Last time you went to Jingzhou to collect grain?" ”
"Exactly."
"Come by water, and give him a ride on the transport."
"Yes." Mr. Mu responded, thought about it, and said: "If he is allowed to arrive in Qingzhou safely, Chang Mingze will not necessarily let him go, after all, he is Li Deyong's person." ”
"If he really can't die, let him go, eight hundred miles to the northwest, not everyone can stay."
"Yes."
It seems that there will be exceptions for others, and it is easier to drown an ant with spittle.
……
On the night when Bailijing rushed to Huangshui Pass, Mo Wen was assassinated on Caoyun, several black ships surrounded them, several slings were thrown over, and more than a dozen masked black-clothed people quickly gathered on the board.
However, to their surprise, the people on the boat did not panic, Gui Jiu smiled and hugged his chest to block the hatch, and said, "Brothers, tear off the black scarf, I can't see you on this big night, how uncomfortable it is!" Whatever you want, just take it, as long as you can take it, you're welcome, ah! ”
With Gui Jiu's high tail, a muffled scream suddenly came from the surrounding black boats, and the dozen or so black-clothed people looked back in panic, and one after another people on the black boats were thrown into the water, and then, the lights that were used as secret signals were extinguished together.
The man in black widened his eyes in horror, and Gui Jiu pouted his head at the dark place at the stern: "Hey, I said, why are you stunned, don't greet guests yet?" ”
The man in black followed his gaze, and was immediately blocked by a sword, and he didn't even scream and fell to the ground.
Gui Jiu looked at the two people standing in the shadows, shuddered, and said, "You two hurry up and wipe the blood clean, and I'll go and boil medicine for the master." The fish in the river was earned tonight, and it was a great meal. ”
It was as if fishermen were casting their nets, and the occasional splash of water did not disturb the guards in the boat, nor did it alarm the other boats that followed behind it, and continued smoothly all the way north.
When Gui Jiu entered the cabin with the medicine, he found that his master was sleeping with the baby pillow in his arms, so safe and sound, how could there be a little unhappiness when he was assassinated?
Three days later, the boat arrived at the Caoyun Wharf, and Chang Mingze, the chief soldier of Qingzhou, personally came to greet him and said: "Jing Horse, the last general will look up to the name for a long time!" ”
Mo Wen couldn't speak, only arched his hand, and smiled shyly and innocently.
Chang Mingze said while leading Mo Wen to the Liaoyang Mansion Post Station: "The grain and grass transported from Jingzhou have arrived a few days ago, and Qingzhou, as the rear of the southern gateway of the three northern states, is also the best place to stock up on grain and grass. Everything has been arranged, just waiting for the horses to be assigned to the states and the front. ”
Mo Wen looked back at Gui Jiu, and Gui Jiu immediately handed over a piece of paper: "Chief Chang, it's not very convenient for Jing Concubine's horse to speak, and I have already written everything I want to say before I come and handed it to the minion." Please take a look. ”
Chang Mingze took it suspiciously, and wrote on the paper in a regular line: "Go to the granary to order grain first." ”
Chang Mingze turned his head to look at Mo Wen, and saw that he always had a faint smile on his face, and an ordinary navy blue robe lined his whole person with a pine and green bamboo-like independence, but his face was slightly pale, which was completely different from the rumored and unwilling.
After ordering the grain and grass, Chang Mingze was waiting for Mo to ask someone to get a pen and paper, but he didn't want the little guy to hand over a piece of paper with a smile: "The grain and grass in each state can be distributed like this, as for the Jizhou front, I will personally escort it." Attached below is a clear account, each of which is very fine, compared to each other, except for the consumption along the line, it is exactly the same as the total amount of grain and grass transported from Jingzhou, and he also lists the route of transporting grain, how to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Chang Mingze was originally short-tempered, when he heard that Jing Yuma was born dumb and extremely gentle, it was worse than a useless scholar, and the imperial court actually sent such a person to supervise the allocation of grain and grass, he had been waiting to see Mo Wen's jokes, or use his omissions to hold Mo Wen's handle. Now that he saw this account and route arrangement, he didn't dare to have a trace of frivolity, and he was even worried that if he was not careful, he would be planted in Mo Wen's hands......
Yes, at this time, Chang Mingze spoke more and more politely to Mo Wen: "The front line in Jizhou is full of dangers, do you really want to go?" ”
At this time, Mo Wen didn't let Gui Jiu take out the paper again, but nodded slightly.
Gui Jiu explained: "General Chang, Jing Ma Si's wife is very anxious, and he wants to go to the front line to take a look at it by sending food. ”
Chang Mingze suddenly said: "Oh...... Princess Jing ...... The last general understands! But it's not early today, so please rest at the post station for a day, and then go to arrange the trip. ”
However, on the second day, when Mowen set off for Jizhou, Situ He personally led the Turkic army to attack south, and the battle of Huangshui Pass continued......

Sure enough, when the young grandmother comes back, it will ...... Well, the goal, the end of the summer vacation!
