Beloved Concubine

After breakfast, the three of them left the room. Regarding the matter of the grandson, it is not a top priority anyway. We will wait until we get to the capital to see the situation.

The three of them came out of the woods and walked. They saw the mountains cultivated by the people, and there was a village halfway up the slope in the distance.

"Hey, why are there peppers here?"

Chen Xiao saw peppers growing on the roadside. Some had been picked, and the fruits on some were still growing.

Chili peppers are not picked all at once. Pick some when they are mature and let the immature ones continue to grow.

"Couldn't this be...?"

"Zhao Fan" thought of a possibility.

Chen Xiao also thought of it.

"What is it?" Taisun asked.

"This may be a mountain village." Chen Xiao said.

"How do you know, you've been here?"

"I've never been here. But currently there are only two places where peppers are grown in An County, Nangou Village and Kaoshan Village."

Nangou Village is north of Anxian County, about four miles away from the county seat. Chen Xiao has been there many times.

Kaoshan Village is Chunhong's hometown, located in the south of An County, about thirty miles away from the county seat.

"Heh, maybe someone in this village knows me." Chen Xiao said with a smile.

Once Chunhong's parents took the villagers to "Chunji Snack Restaurant" to help out, but later a fight broke out and those villagers stopped coming.

"Why do they know you?" Taisun asked.

Chen Xiao talked about what happened to Chunhong in the past.

The three of them were talking as they walked and passed a house.

I saw four or five tables of banquets set up in the yard in front of this family's house, as if they were doing something festive, and everyone was talking and laughing.

At a glance, Chen Xiao caught a glimpse of Chun Hong Niang serving food to people. When she looked carefully, Chun Hong's father and Chun Hong's younger brothers and sisters were also there.

Looking at this family, there are two rooms with wooden walls and thatched roofs, plus a kitchen with a wooden stilt. Judging from the age of their house, the wood is old.

This can't be Chunhong's house! Chen Xiao guessed.

"Leave quickly." Zhao Fan tugged on Chen Xiao's sleeve.

Chen Xiao also felt that it was inappropriate to stay because it would be embarrassing if he was recognized. Their separation from Chunhong was not pleasant. Appearing here at this moment, those who didn’t know thought they were here for something.

The three of them left quickly.

Taisun was puzzled and asked: "What's wrong? Did you really meet someone you know?"

"Well, the house just now seems to be Chunhong's house."

Before she finished talking about Chunhong, Chen Xiao continued to talk.

In this village, if you don’t know which house has a carriage, you can’t hire one. The three of them continued walking forward, walking about three or four miles, and came to a market town.

There was a carriage in the market town, so they hired a carriage and headed to Anxian County.

……

Nanzhong County.

Feiqiwei, Yang Yan, Du Yuyi and others left from the mountain.

Yang Zhao quickly evacuated after handing Princess De to Sai Mu.

After he left, the monster stopped attacking and "disappeared", leaving only broken walls and a mess. Ye Qian, who shrunk into a little kitty, chased after Yang Zhao.

The little princess, Sai Mu, Sai Yang and Princess De were "captured" by the Jingzhou army. Other than that, they didn't catch anyone they really wanted to catch.

……

The carriage bumped all the way and finally arrived at the county seat of Anxian County.

An County belongs to Puzhou, and the actions of the Jingzhou Army are limited to the territory of Jingzhou, that is, south of Donghe County.

When we arrived at the boundary of Puzhou, we couldn't feel the atmosphere of Jingzhou at all. The place was peaceful and peaceful, as usual.

After getting off the carriage, "Zhao Fan" said: "We don't want to go back to 'Chun Ji', let's go to Nie Feng's place."

If I don't return to the "Spring Notes", firstly, I am worried that the enemy will be secretly guarding me and causing trouble for the snack restaurant; secondly, I will have an extra grandson and there will not be enough room to live in.

"Does Nie Feng recognize you?" Chen Xiao asked his grandson.

"Should recognize it."

Chen Xiao frowned: "What should we do?"

"There's nothing to do. Just recognize it. It's not a big deal." Taisun didn't care.

Zhao Fan said: "Don't think so much first, we'll talk about it after we get there." According to his observation, the situation here in An County is calm and the Jingzhou Army does not dare to make trouble here. In other words, Prince Ning did not dare to make mistakes here. According to Nangong Zhen's Taisun memories, the areas that King Ning could control were Jingzhou, Dezhou, and Ningzhou.

Jingzhou is in the southern part of the Nanyue Kingdom, and Jingzhou and De can govern the entire southern part of the Nanyue Kingdom. Ningzhou is in the north of Nanyue Kingdom, bordering Xia Kingdom. If Ningzhou wants to break into a separatist regime, he only needs to reach an agreement with Xia State and use Xia State as his backing, and the independence of the separatist regime can be established.

Except for these three states, King Ning may have contacts with other states, but they will not stand firmly with King Ning and rebel together like Jingzhou and Dezhou.

Yihongyuan.

It was almost evening, and it was the time for banquets and merrymaking in various rooms in the garden.

The girls all went to accompany the guests, and Nie Feng was alone in the room, pouring and drinking by himself.

Many days ago, he heard that Xiao Shitou came to see him and wanted to ask him to bring a letter to the capital. He was not there at the time, so Xiao Shitou went to find Gao Can, who then took him to find Min Hong.

What kind of letter is it? Nie Feng asked Min Hong after he came back. Min Hong said it was related to the royal family and asked him not to inquire.

Nie Feng's aunt is the imperial concubine Yi Fei. He said that he is related to the royal family. Let's reveal a little bit, what is it?
Min Hong said, just because you are related to the royal family, you cannot inquire.

Min Hong couldn't ask here, so he went to ask Xiao Shitou.

Xiao Shitou was warned by Min Hong not to leak it. But because of the friendship between Nie Feng and him, Xiao Shitou was picky and unclear.

He told about Fang Yu rescuing people on the road. As for who he saved, I don’t know.

It is said that Fang Yu was besieged and killed in Guanyi, Nanzhong County. He killed the enemy with one enemy and one hundred. As for why he was surrounded and killed, I don’t know; I don’t know who killed him.

After hearing this, Nie Feng was puzzled: Didn't it say it was related to the royal family? Where's the connection?

Xiao Shitou insisted that he didn't know, and Nie Feng also understood that he probably couldn't tell. So he wrote a letter back to Nie's house and asked his family to inquire about it.

It's been two days since I sent the letter, and there's still no reply.

When Nie Feng was bored, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Sir, the big shopkeeper, Madam Chen is here!"

"Who is it?" Nie Feng didn't realize who Mrs. Chen was for a moment.

"Ms. Chen from Chunji Snack Restaurant," the waiter outside the door added.

Nie Fengteng stood up immediately, sprinted to the door and opened it.

I saw three people standing outside the door: the one in the middle was Chen Xiao, who I hadn't seen for more than 20 days. To her left, a powerful and strange man. To her right, a gentle and elegant... Nie Feng's eyes widened.

"Too, too..." Nie Feng was a little afraid to recognize him. Could it be that he just looked similar?
"I am Wu Jiwen." Taisun said.

thump! Nie Feng knelt down.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Grand Sun!"

"Get up and go in and talk."

Taisun stepped into the house first.

Chen Xiao glanced at "Zhao Fan": I really recognize him!

When several people entered the room, Nie Feng's mind was in a turmoil, with various speculations intertwined, and he didn't know where to start.

Suddenly, he noticed that someone was missing and asked, "Where is Brother Fang?"

Before Chen Xiao spoke, Zhao Fan said: "He is injured. He is in the carriage behind. He will not arrive in two days."

Chen Xiao glanced sideways at "Zhao Fan". Judging from what he said, he planned to move Fang Yu out in two days?

"How did you get injured? Is it serious? Didn't I hear that he..." Nie Feng noticed his urgency and quickly stopped.

"What's good to eat? I'm hungry."

Taisun sat down at the round table where Nie Feng was pouring himself a drink. He looked at the food on the table, which was a plate of barbecue and a plate of peanuts.

Taisun is really hungry. He has only eaten one bowl of braised beef noodles since morning.

"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, Your Highness."

Nie Feng hurriedly called for the waiter.

"Don't call me Your Highness, just call me...cousin." Taisun said.

Nie Feng's aunt was the emperor's "Yifei" and gave birth to the eleventh prince, who is now seventeen years old. In other words, the grandson was one generation younger than Nie Feng.

In ordinary people, people are usually addressed according to their seniority. In the royal family, in addition to seniority, they also talk about status. Although the grandson is of lower generation, he has a high status.

In terms of age, Nie Feng and Taisun are both twenty-two years old. However, Taisun's birthday is in November, and Nie Feng is older than him in the month. So to round things off, he asked Nie Feng to call him cousin.

Nie Feng heard that his grandson wanted to hide his identity, but he didn't dare call him "cousin", so he hurriedly said: "Cousin! You are my cousin."

"Okay. Bring me something delicious."

He is really hungry.
