Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 377 The Monk in White Clothes Enters the Customs?

They didn't dwell on this issue for too long. After all, all the answers were in Daxing City, and there was still a long way to go before returning to Daxing City.

Only then can it be completely safe.

So, after a hasty breakfast, everyone cleaned up and continued on their horses.

After the drenched rain yesterday, there is no longer a cloud in the sky today, but the sun is still in the sky, making them covered with oil. But at this time, no one complained. Much faster than before.

For several days, there was no danger on the road.

At dusk three days later, they arrived at Tongguan.

When the Tongguan guard saw the prime minister's second son, he hurriedly welcomed them into the pass. He not only immediately arranged a residence, but also held a banquet that night to welcome the second son Yuwen and the young lady.

After running around for several days, Shang Ruyi finally took a good bath.

Putting on some decent clothes, Shang Ruyi sat in front of the bronze mirror and asked Tusheer to comb her hair.Tusheer looked at Shang Ruyi, who was completely refreshed and beautiful in the bronze mirror, and said with a smile, "After washing like this, Miss looks refreshed."

Shang Ruyi looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said with a smile, "Really?"

"certainly,"

While combing her long black hair, Tushe'er said with emotion: "Fortunately, my uncle is here, and the Tongguan guard will arrange this place for us. Otherwise, I don't know how long Miss will have to live and sleep in the open."

Shang Ruyi looked at her in the bronze mirror again, and couldn't help laughing: "Why, do you think he's better now?"

Tushe'er stuck out her tongue, and said, "It's good to let Miss live a good life."

Shang Ruyi shook his head helplessly and smiled.

After a while, the hair was combed.Although the local utensils are very simple, and Tusheer can only comb her a simple bun, she still took out two kinds of jewelry to wear for her, which looks more solemn and sweeps away the dullness and simplicity of the previous few months. .

At this time, there was a creak from the side, and the door was pushed open.

As soon as Shang Ruyi turned her head, she saw Yu Wenye walking in.

He also just washed it, and now he has changed into a plain long gown. Although it is only a simple and clean attire, he has a handsome appearance and a slender figure. Qi, especially after two days of rolling in mud soup, suddenly such a refreshing dress, it is even more difficult to move one's eyes away.

Shang Ruyi immediately averted his eyes.

But the heart still couldn't stop beating.

When Yu Wenye saw her, his eyes seemed to light up. He walked over calmly to look at Shang Ruyi, and then said, "Are you ready?"

Tuscher put down the comb immediately: "Master, everything is fine."

Yu Wenye looked down at her again: "Let's go."

Shang Ruyi nodded, then got up, followed him out, and went to the banquet.

It is said to be a banquet, but it is actually a table of sumptuous food, but for those who have experienced a few days of wind and rain, a large room, clean tables and chairs, and rich food and wine are already rare enjoyments, and the guard He also said very politely: "This place is simple, the food and drink are shabby, and I still look at the second son, young lady, don't be disgusted."

Yu Wenye said: "This place is already very good, you have a heart."

The guard said: "Two, please take your seat."

So, the two of them walked over and sat down.

The guard's name was Chu Zhengfei, he was in his thirties, and he spoke and acted very safely. Although there were only three people at the table, and Yu Wenye didn't talk much, Shang Ruyi didn't talk too much, and he was the only one holding a glass to toast, and the atmosphere was very tense. Not cold.

After drinking for three rounds, Yu Wenye said: "I looked at General Chu strangely, it seems that you were not the one who guarded Tongguan before."

Hearing this, Chu Zhengfei smiled and put down the wine glass in his hand, and said: "There was once the emperor and the courtiers, now that the new emperor is enthroned, naturally there are many personnel dispatched, and I have just been transferred to Tongguan not long ago."

"Where did you lead the army before then?"

"My servant is the captain of Zuo Xiaowei."

"Oh……"

Hearing the words Zuo Xiaowei, a light flashed in Yu Wenye's eyes, and he said with a slight smile: "So, you are the general of Zuo Xiaowei Yu Dingxing."

Chu Zhengfei said: "Yes."

Yu Wenye said: "This time... General Yu has done a great job."

Speaking of this, Chu Zhengfei showed a strange expression on his face. He smiled and said, "Then, General Yu followed the time and acted according to the trend. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the family to be as prosperous as it is today."

The prosperity of the family?

Hearing these four words, Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi looked at each other.

And Chu Zhengfei also seemed to feel that he had talked too much, and immediately smiled and said: "It's far away. General Yu is already a matter in Daxing City. I have no other advantages, so I can only guard Tongguan."

Yu Wenye said calmly: "Defending Tongguan well is also a great achievement."

As he said that, he looked at Chu Zhengfei again, and said, "There is just something I want to ask General Chu. These days, are there people transporting saltpeter, sulfur and other things into and out of Tongguan?"

"Nitre? Sulfur?"

Chu Zhengfei said: "Aren't these used for gunpowder?"

Yu Wenye said: "That's right, did General Chu find out?"

Chu Zhengfei said: "No."

He answered so quickly, which surprised Shang Ruyi who had been silent all this time. She subconsciously wanted to ask again, but Yu Wenye gave her a wink. She thought about it, and immediately pursed her lips.

On the contrary, Chu Zhengfei laughed and said, "I don't know why the second son asked this?"

Yu Wenye said: "It's nothing, I just found some traces of saltpeter and sulfur on the road, and I'm worried that someone transported these things into the customs for something. Since General Chu didn't find out, there must be nothing serious."

Chu Zhengfei said: "Thank you, Second Young Master, for your trust. I will be guarding Tongguan, among other things, these people and things need to be thoroughly investigated."

As he spoke, he toasted again, and the three of them drank together.

After putting down the wine glass, Shang Ruyi thought about it again, and then asked: "By the way, General Chu, since you have checked the past, and you have to check out people and things, then in the past two days, did you see a monk in white?" Entry?"

Hearing this, Chu Zhengfei seemed to shake his hand holding the wine glass.

But he put down his wine glass calmly, raised his head immediately, and said with a smile, "Young Madam, why do you ask this question?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Oh, it's nothing. I just met a white-clothed monk on the road a few days ago. He seemed to have a deep cultivation, but I haven't seen him since. I want to ask him about Buddhism, so I want to ask Did he get in?"

Chu Zhengfei smiled and said, "It's hard to say."

Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi looked at each other, and both felt that his words seemed to have other meanings.

Yu Wenye immediately asked: "How did General Chu say that?"
