At the end of the Sui Dynasty

On the third day of the first month of winter, the sun was shining brightly, and the morning fog on the river had dissipated. At this time, the Linjiangmen Wharf was a bit deserted. It turned out that the wharf was temporarily cleared, and ships were not allowed to dock temporarily. They were all on the river outside the wharf. Floating, and there was a long queue for several miles, which was a bit like a thousand sails competing.

The pier is guarded by the Qi army, and the idlers are not allowed to approach, they can only watch from the outside, but the people are surprised to find that a group of officials headed by the king of Qi have come, and they are already waiting on the pier Nearly two hours later, I don't know which great personage came, but the king of labor Qi greeted him personally, and he waited for nearly two hours.

About half an hour later, a fleet of ships finally appeared on the river. It was a very ordinary fleet, all small boats and without flags. For a while, the spectators around the pier secretly guessed.

Soon, the fleet was docked at the pier. Gao Bufan saw the familiar figure on the first boat, and immediately stepped forward to greet him eagerly.Yang Qingruo was standing on the bow of the boat at the moment, seeing the huge crowds of people on the pier and the flags flying, a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes, this guy... What is this big fight for?As if I was afraid that others would not know.

The witch next to her was also a little shocked, and she said to herself: "It's such a big show, it seems that this subordinate has been honored by Empress Qing today."

Yang Qingruo couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart, the jealousy that he had been holding back all the way eased a bit, he stepped on the diving board and moved lightly, floating to the shore. He said joyfully, "Qing Ruo, you are finally back, thank God."

Yang Qingruo felt warm in her heart, but when she thought about Bai Yunshang, she felt a little annoyed again, so she pulled her hands back casually, saluted and said, "I greet His Royal Highness King Qi."

Gao Bufan coughed lightly in embarrassment: "Uh...Excuse me, Qing Ruo, let me introduce you, this is Master Xiao Yu, the general manager of Yuzhou."

Although Yang Qingruo is dressed in a man's attire at the moment, it is still difficult to hide her peerless elegance. Xiao Yu and all the local officials were a little lost in sight, and secretly said that the king of Qi is very beautiful. The most rare thing is that this woman is not attractive The vase she used went to Banan alone to recruit the Miao people. She really is a beautiful woman with both talent and beauty.

"Xiao Yu, my lower official, I have seen Concubine Qing." Xiao Yu took a step forward and saluted respectfully.

Yang Qingruo had a light glow on her cheeks, and quickly returned the salute: "Uncle Xiao is too polite, Qingruo is ashamed and dare not accept it."

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and looked Yang Qingruo up and down again. It was only the Eighteenth Change of the Female University, and he could still recognize it, so he still looked dazed.Yang Qingruo reminded: "Back then in Prince Jin's Mansion, Qingruo and Uncle Xiao had met several times, but Qingruo was still young at that time."

Xiao Yu obviously remembered, with surprise on his face, he blurted out: "You...are Xiao Qingruo from back then?"

Yang Qingruo nodded and said: "Yes, so Uncle Xiao still remembers Qingruo."

Xiao Yu laughed, stroked his long beard and said with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, Xiao Qingruo has grown so big back then, and looks so good-looking, Uncle Xiao can't even recognize him."

Yang Qingruo shyly said: "Uncle Xiao is ridiculously praised, how has Uncle Xiao been doing these years?"...

"Okay, okay, I just miss the queen mother a little bit." Xiao Yu sighed.

As soon as the two recognized their relatives, the relationship between them became much closer, and the atmosphere became more harmonious. A group of local officials also took the opportunity to follow and salute: "See Empress Qing."

Yang Qingruo couldn't help Xia Fei's cheeks, even though her relationship with Gao Bufan had been settled, the marriage was bestowed by the emperor himself, but she hadn't officially married after all, and now she was called Empress Qing by the officials, she was still a little uncomfortable, embarrassed He smiled and said, "My lords don't need to be too polite, it's better to call me Princess Danyang."

Yang Qingruo is a peerless beauty who can score more than 95 points. At this moment, when she smiled, it was like spring flowers blooming. Everyone present couldn't help but breathe hard. They were so obedient. If this girl changed back to women's clothing, what kind of beauty would she be?

After greeting a group of officials politely, Yang Qingruo glanced at the person who was left alone, and then deliberately said respectfully: "His Royal Highness Qi, fortunately, Qingruo and Wizard Miao did not disgrace their orders and comforted Banan 72 The barbarians of Miao Village and [-] Caves."

At this moment, Gao Bufan naturally guessed that a certain vinegar jar had been overturned, coughed lightly and said, "Your work is hard for Qing Ruo, and sorcerer Miao is hard work."

The witch Miao Yingxiu said respectfully: "Don't dare to be a witch, this is what a witch should do." After she finished speaking, she turned and murmured to the representatives of the Miao village, and then the representatives of the Miao people tremblingly stepped forward to salute Gao Bufan.

These Miao and barbarian representatives usually live in the mountains. Although they are tough and unconvinced, it is true that they have never seen the world. With a murderous look, it was inevitable that they became a little scared, and they didn't know who was the leader. They all knelt down in front of Gao Bufan and shouted in Miao language: "See King Qi, long live long live!"

Gao Bufan didn't understand, even if he understood, he would laugh it off, raised his hand and said: "Get up."

At that moment, the witch briefly introduced the representatives of the Miao people and the barbarians to Gao Bufan, but the names of these people were very strange, hard to remember, and there were too many people, Gao Bufan basically forgot what he heard, and could only smile all the time. nodding.

Finally, after the witch Miao Yingxiu finished her introduction, Gao Bufan wondered, "By the way, why didn't you see the commander?"

Miao Yingxiu shook her head and said: "Master, she likes to be quiet and not noisy, and she is too old to travel far, so she didn't come with her. I hope King Qi will forgive me."

Gao Bufan said regretfully: "That's a pity. If there is a chance, this king will definitely come to visit in person."

Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then everyone surrounded Gao Bufan and went into the city, followed by a sumptuous banquet. After the banquet, the representatives of the various Miao villages formally greeted Gao Bufan again, and Gao Bufan generously gave The generous rewards made everyone happy for a while.

In the next few days, Gao Bufan ordered Xiao Yu to register all the 72 Miao villages in Banan and the barbarian tribes in the [-] caves. The number of people in each Miao village and each cave was recorded in the eucalyptus for later use. It will be used as a reference for establishing administrative regions in the future, but at present, we can only continue to enfeoff the chiefs and allow them tribal autonomy.

After seven or eight days of busy work, he finally finished dealing with the affairs of all the Miao people in Banan, and Gao Bufan was finally free, so he invited the witch Miao Yingxiu to treat Bai Niuer, and the little vinegar jar also followed, Gao Bufan I can't help but feel anxious, knowing that he has tried his best to coax people these days, and it will be terrible if the jar of jealousy is overturned again. …

Now Bai Yunshang's legs are conscious, but she still has to use a wheelchair, and the witch was shocked when she saw the former sitting in the wheelchair. Originally, Yang Qingruo's appearance was unprecedented, but she didn't expect this person to be even more beautiful. , and that temperament is as straight as Guanyin Bodhisattva descending to earth, making people want to worship.

The witch recited Amitabha silently, and said respectfully: "How does layman Yunshang feel now?"

Bai Yunshang smiled slightly and said, "I have felt my legs, but I still can't use my strength."

The witch nodded and said, "I'm offended." After speaking, she reached out from Bai Yunshang's thigh to her heel, and carefully inspected ten toenails.

Miao Yu said in a low voice: "Master, this disciple has already changed the blood of Layman Yunshang three times. The effect was good at first, but the effect became less obvious as the time went on. I'm afraid the Gu worms in Layman Yunshang's body would be very difficult." Get rid of it completely."

The witch nodded and said: "That's true, to completely eradicate the corpse Gu insect, you must cooperate with medicine."

"Then master has a solution?" Miao Yu asked quickly.

The witch shook her head regretfully: "There is no better way to be a teacher, my little concubine, you have done your best." After speaking, she glanced at Bai Yunshang regretfully.

Gao Bufan couldn't help being disappointed when he heard the words, but Bai Yunshang looked calm and said with a smile: "There are Lao Miao benefactors."

After entering, Yang Qingruo said suddenly, "I know someone who should be able to cure your illness."

"Who?" Gao Bufan and Miao Yan asked in unison.

"My master."

"Really?" Gao Bufan was very pleasantly surprised, and subconsciously held Yang Qingruo's hand, but the latter gave Yang Qingruo a cute look, and immediately let go of it obediently, and said embarrassingly: "Qingruo, can you ask the teacher to make a move for Bai? Maid diagnosis and treatment, after all, Miss Bai got the Gu because of me."

Yang Qing Ruo Dan said: "There is nothing wrong with it, it's just that Master, his old man is now wandering around, his whereabouts are erratic, and it will be difficult to find him for a while, and he does things as he pleases, so he may not be willing to take action. If we meet him at that time, we will Just ask."

Bai Yunshang put her palms together and said, "Amitabha, thank you Princess Danyang."

Yang Qingruo said nonchalantly: "You're welcome, it's just a matter of raising your hands, it's still unknown whether it can be achieved, and the two families of Buddhism and Taoism are at odds with each other, so Master may not be willing to help you."

"It's okay, whether to help or not is Yunshang's karma." Bai Yunshang said with a smile.

Yang Qingruo nodded and said no more, Gao Bufan coughed lightly and said, "Miss Bai, then you have a good rest, let's come back and see you again."

But Yang Qingruo said calmly: "King Qi go on your own, Qingruo still has some things to ask Miss Bai for advice."

Gao Bufan's heart skipped a beat, while he was hesitating, Bai Yunshang said with a smile: "Prince Qi, please do yourself, it happens that Yunshang also has some things to ask Princess Danyang for advice."

"Uh...Okay, then you guys talk slowly, I will go first!" Gao Bufan had to leave alone, and hoped that the two aunts would not fight, after all, the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism has already begun. long time.

The witch and Miao Yu looked at each other, and said goodbye very tactfully and left, leaving only a pair of green and white girls in the room.
