Snowy Chang'an Road

Chapter 46 Traveling in Yunmengze
  Three days later, Wei Shao and Zhong Yang rushed back to Liu'an Kingdom with the first batch of grain.

When the people saw them coming back, they lined the streets to welcome them and knelt down to thank them.

"Brother Wei, how do people know that you are Wei Shao, King of Peking? I belong to General Zhong Yang?"

Wei Shao motioned him to look at Pei Ying, only to see her waving to them in the crowd.

"Is this the credit of my younger siblings?"

Wei Shao nodded and said, "And Xiao Shen."

After the grain was moved into the granary, Xiao Shen was busy counting the amount of grain and registering the people who were short of food in the city. After a whole day of work, he distributed the food to the people in an orderly manner.

In the palace of Prince Lujiang, Pei Ying brought a large bowl of red beans and rice to the table.

This was the first time Zhong Yang had seen rice like this, and he was very surprised.

"Sister-in-law, you have such a good brain. How did you come up with the method of pairing red beans with rice?"

Pei Ying smiled and filled the glass with wine and said, "Brother Zhong, I had a dream, and this practice came into my dream by itself."

Zhong Yang laughed loudly when he heard her answer.

"Xiao Shen, let me toast you."

Xiao Shen quickly picked up the wine glass.

"Sister-in-law, I should toast you."

"You have worked very hard these days. I thank you on behalf of the people."

Xiao Shen said: "Everyone is working hard. Sister-in-law, please don't just be considerate of me. Soon the jealousy from Chang'an will be overturned."

Wei Shao heard what he meant, but this time, he did not choose to ignore it. Instead, he raised his glass and said, "Brother Zhong, I want to toast you too. We two brothers also worked hard to raise food this time."

Hearing what he said, Zhong Yang picked up the wine glass and said, "You guys don't mind going back and forth to pay homage. If you ask me, four of us will leave one by one. We won't come back until we're drunk tonight."

In this way, at Zhong Yang's suggestion, several people picked up their wine glasses and drank one glass after another. Everyone was happy from the bottom of their hearts. As they pushed the glasses and changed the cups, the relationship between the few people inadvertently deepened a lot.

Xiao Shen and Zhong Yang were so drunk that they couldn't separate themselves. Wei Shao ordered his soldiers to send them back to the room.

Pei Ying was happy tonight and drank a lot. She felt light on her feet when she walked. Wei Shao had a good drinking capacity, but he was just a little drunk. He kept walking to the left and back of Pei Ying, observing her.

At the steps, Pei Ying didn't notice that her feet were empty, so he hurriedly supported her.

Seeing that he was in physical contact with her, Pei Ying turned in his arms and looked at him dreamily.

This look seemed familiar to Wei Shao.

"Wei Shao, you are a good person."

Hearing what she said, Wei Shao smiled and said, "You are drunk, I will help you go back to your room to rest."

"No, you hug me."

"That's what you said."

"I said it, what's wrong?"

Before Pei Ying could finish her words, Wei Shao picked her up and Pei Ying naturally leaned on his shoulder. She was already very familiar with what to do in such a situation.

In the room, Wei Shao put Pei Ying on the bed, took off her shoes and covered her with a quilt. Looking at the blush on her cheeks and her drunken movements, he knew that this time she was really drunk, not like last time. , pretending.

He put down the curtains, walked to the couch, blew out the candles, hugged his sword, and quickly fell asleep.

Three days later, Bai Zheng rushed back from Chang'an and brought back His Majesty's imperial edict, agreeing to the King of Peiping's raising of grain, and ordering the King of Peiping to go to Changsha to capture the rebel Yun Zheng.

"Your Majesty wants us to give this letter to King Linxiang and order him to hand it over to King Lujiang."

"It seems that His Majesty is really prepared to kill the King of Lujiang."

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and once he speaks, it is difficult to follow him."

"Then when do we set off?"

"We will set off again after Xiao Shen and Zhong Yang come back."

"Wei Shao, have you ever thought that you can't escape forever?"

"I know, but if you don't run away, you will only die."

"These words are a bit absolute, everything depends on man-made things."

Wei Shao wanted to hear what Pei Ying had to say to him, but Pei Ying said nothing. “I haven’t decided yet, let’s take it one step at a time.”

Four days before the beginning of winter, the army marched to Yunmengze.

This place is only a hundred miles away from Dongting Lake. If we keep on traveling without stopping, we can reach Changsha country at the beginning of winter.

It has been two months since he left Chang'an. Although there was no fighting this time, the soldiers did not stop. Passing by here and seeing the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, Wei Shao decided to station his army here and rest for two days.

In fact, he also had his own little thoughts. Along the way, he discovered that Pei Ying liked the scenery of Jiangnan very much, but with all the troubles, he never had the chance to take her to visit the mountains and rivers, which inevitably made him feel a little regretful.

Now that he passed by Yun Mengze, no matter how stupid he was, it was time for him to wake up.

In the big tent, Pei Ying made the bed and placed a pair of pillows.

Wei Shao walked into the tent quietly. He was a martial arts practitioner after all, and his feet were indeed silent.

"Pei Ying."

This sudden sound startled Pei Ying.

She turned around and saw Wei Shao holding a handful of yellow chrysanthemums, and Pei Ying's smile froze on her face.

"For you."

Pei Ying took the yellow chrysanthemum and twitched the corner of her mouth.

"What? You don't like it?"

"I like it..."

"I remember you said that you like boating. I ordered someone to find a fisherman's boat. Do you want to go boating on the lake with me?"

Hearing what Wei Shao said, Pei Ying instantly forgot about the yellow chrysanthemum and asked excitedly: "Really? Where is it? Take me to see it quickly."

A Chang'an woman has no resistance at all to things like boating on the lake.

"Bai Zheng, go and prepare a pot of wine and two wine glasses. What's the point of just boating? Boating on the lake is a blessing in life. How can we do it without wine?"

Bai Zheng looked at Wei Shao and he nodded.

Before boarding the ship, Bai Zheng stood behind Wei Shao and asked him quietly: "My lord, do you really don't need to send someone to follow you and the princess?"

Wei Shao saw Pei Ying going to the boat, and her happiness was beyond words.

"No need."

"But can you raft?"

"meeting."

In Bai Zheng's surprised eyes, Wei Shao got on the boat.

As the blue waves beat the oars, the water pushed the boat forward, and the boat got further and further away from the shore.

Zhong Yang, Xiao Shen and Bai Zheng stood on the shore.

Zhong Yang said enviously: "Brother Xiao, how about we borrow a boat and go boating on the lake?"

"Brother Wei said that he wants to go on a lake tour tomorrow. Today there is only one boat like his on this lake."

"Do we have to listen to Brother Wei when it comes to our lake tour?"

Xiao Shen nodded, and Bai Zheng said from the side: "Military orders cannot be violated."

Pei Ying drank while Wei Shao paddled. Seeing her relaxed expression, Wei Shao couldn't help but stare at her.

"Wei Shao, take your eyes away from me and look at the scenery."

"No one has a good view."

"."

"Pei Ying, why do you like drinking so much?"

Pei Ying put the hand holding the wine glass casually on his lap and looked at the sparkling waves on the lake.

She said casually: "When wine enters my heart, it turns into tears of lovesickness."
