It will take time for Xue Poye to go to the capital to ask for instructions on how to donate money, and it will take time to go back and forth. It just so happens that this gap time is the stage of the wedding and honeymoon. West Lake, where the interest comes, reciting poems and playing Ci with Xiao Suzhen is very pleasant. At night, lingering in Xiao Suzhen's snow-white and plump body, or on Yuezhu's shy and exquisite carcass, that is incomparable even to the gods It's just a pity that I can't let my second daughter accompany me to have one queen and two queens.

With nothing to do in his spare time, Xue Poye asked Xiao Yuezhu to temporarily put down the accounts at hand, and led the two daughters to the horse farm to teach them horsemanship. Protected by the side, and picked a more docile horse, the two daughters practiced equestrianism with trepidation, and lived a happy life every day.

Xue Poye rode his golden lion again after a long absence. He just felt like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time. He was extremely kind. He galloped like a thunderbolt in the racecourse, with a majestic domineering aura.

A few days later, it was New Year's Eve, Xue Poye thought Xiao Moting was alone in the mansion, so he asked Xiao Suzhen to invite his father-in-law to his garden, and summoned Xiao Lingxian, Xiao Shitou, Nan Huaiwu, Lao Song's family and other members of Xue's company spent a festive Spring Festival in a lively and lively manner.

As for the employees of Xue's enterprise, Xue Poye ordered Nan Huaiwu to distribute the bonus envelopes, and to take the holidays, in short, to let everyone have a happy and joyful New Year.

There are singing and dancing everywhere in Hangzhou, which shows the prosperity that should be in a peaceful world. After the year, there will be an endless stream of relatives.

But under the joyful atmosphere, the decree from Kyoto came to Hangzhou on the third day of the Lunar New Year. His Majesty the Emperor made it very clear in the decree. He first praised Xue Poye for his pragmatic spirit, and then ordered Xue Poye to withdraw the donated silver. Half of the food and grass were purchased, and the other half was used as soldiers' pay. They were personally escorted to Yanmen Pass and handed over to the guards.

As soon as the decree came, Xue Poye knew that his leisure time was coming to an end, so he summoned He Ruhui immediately without delay, and ordered him to withdraw half of the donated silver and buy grain and grass in the Jiangnan area within ten days Done without error.

He Ruhui has already determined that Xue Poye is the backer of his future future, so he dared to be negligent, summoned manpower, and started to purchase. He knew that Xue Poye was a person who was better than a monkey, so he should act honestly and don't play tricks , So I dare not donate money to greedy ink, every penny is used for food and grass.

From Hangzhou to Yanmen Pass, the journey is long, the mountains are poor and the rivers are dangerous, a mistake, food, grass and military pay are robbed, that is a catastrophe, so Xue Poye not only went to Hangzhou camp to mobilize [-] elite soldiers, but also hired The purpose of the elite bodyguards in several well-known bodyguard bureaus in the south of the Yangtze River is to escort these things to the border safely.

He Ruhui specially set up a warehouse, where cars parked one by one. As the procurement progressed smoothly, each car was gradually filled up, loaded with grain and grass, and wrapped in linoleum to prevent it from raining.

Millions of taels of grain and grass were not enough in Hangzhou, so they went to Yangzhou and Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River to collect hundreds of large carts. In addition to the guards, these coachmen also had a large number of laborers. The total team was about 600 people. .

For these hundreds of people, eating and drinking along the way is a big problem. Xue Poye asked He Ruhui to prepare enough dry food and water. Xue Poye politely declined.

Although He Ruhui is not a very good person, he is still the boss of Hangzhou. This position is important, but he cannot leave it.

It's just that He Ru will not go, but there is another group of people who must go. The two new wives heard that Xue Poye was going to take the risk of sending food to Yanmen Pass, so they immediately asked to go with them. Xiao Lingxian was not willing to go when he heard the news Being backward, Xue Poye insisted on going to Yanmen Pass to play, but Xue Poye firmly refused.

Although it would be much more interesting if accompanied by his wife and little fairy along the way, but in the poor mountains and rivers along the way, if something happens and the female relatives cannot be taken care of, it will be too late to regret.What's more, it's a business trip this time, and if you want a group of women to follow, you may be gossiped, and it will be difficult to lead a team at that time.

The female relatives had no choice but to tell them ten thousand times and be attentive and caring, but the two guys, Xiao Shitou and You Shaoqing, insisted on following.

It is true that Xiaoshitou cannot do without his master, but You Shaoqing is trying to please this backer. After all, his future depends entirely on Xue Poye, and he will serve him carefully by his side. Maybe the minister will take him with him when he is happy He is in the capital, so he is firm in his intentions, claiming that he has a good understanding of the local customs and customs along the way, and that he is willing to devote himself to death for the sake of Mr. Shi Lang's smooth arrival at Yanmen Pass. Xue Poye has no choice but to allow these two guys to stay by his side , In addition, more than 20 Habayashi guards who followed, also brought all of them with them this time, so as to be safe.

Deep down in Xue Poye's heart, he really hoped that Lady Lv would be by her side. Firstly, Lady Lv was very clear about the affairs of the Jianghu and the tricks of the underworld. With her by her side, she would save a lot of worry. Another one, having her pretty face and sexy figure by my side every day, and being addicted to it when I'm bored, that's also extremely satisfying.

However, although Pan Silang and Habayashi Wei searched everywhere, and even stayed in the Pinxiang Pavilion, there was no news of the green lady, and even the mysterious eight-way martial artist Chen Fu seemed to be on the verge of disappearing.

This made Xue Poye regretful, but also greatly worried.

After several more days of preparation, until the food and grass were completely in order, then the manpower was called to prepare for pulling out the next day.

On the night before his departure, he had to have sex with the two wives back and forth, enjoying the wonderful blessings of Qi people, and even summoned Nan Huaiwu alone, and told him some things.

……

……

From Hangzhou to Yanmen, go north through Yunzhou, and then to Shuozhou, you can go to Dachu Tianguan Yanmen Pass. Naturally, there are poor mountains and rivers, lush forests and swamps along the way, but this is in the territory of the Dachu Dynasty. Apart from some bandits, there are also There is no big worry.

Even if there were bandits, most of them just hijacked the finances of passing merchants. As for the military rations of the imperial court, if they did not have the courage to cover the sky, they would not dare to act rashly.

What's more, for Xue Poye's convoy this time, there were hundreds of grain carts, escorted by 20 elite soldiers, more than [-] Habayashi guards from the royal guards, and some bodyguards who were on the knife edge to make a living. , The guards are extremely powerful. In addition, in order to be safe, the convoy has prepared a lot of weapons. In the event of an accident, the drivers and laborers who transport the food will also use weapons to protect the army food.

Xue Poye naturally rode his golden lion, Xiao Shitou rode with him, but You Shaoqing could only walk with the convoy.

In recent days, Xiao Shitou and You Shaoqing got along very well, and You Shaoqing was full of weird stories, which made Xiao Shitou addicted to it, and he had a good impression of You Shaoqing.

Officials in Hangzhou only sent more than ten miles of land, and after Xue Poye's refusal, they returned to the city. He Ruhui looked even more worried, and his eyes were red.

Xue Poye thought to himself: "Although He Ruhui's character is poor, he still has a sense of propriety when it comes to doing things. If there is a chance, it's okay to promote a little bit. But promotion belongs to promotion. This kind of person, I can't help it." Eat him to death."

The car was running, and hundreds of two large cars, surrounded by hundreds of people, moved to the north in a mighty way.

Along the way, officials from various places along the way knew that the officials escorted this time were the Minister of the Household Department of Kyoto, and even the Viscount of Da Chu, and they were all flattering. As the convoy stopped to rest, Xue Poye politely declined considering the long journey and could not delay.

After the officials at the back understood the situation, they inquired about the route of the convoy, and then set up a banquet on the side of the road to reward the convoy. Xue Poye had no choice but to allow everyone to rest and eat.

After more than ten days like this, he has already entered the boundary of Shuozhou.

Compared with the prosperous Jiangnan, Shuozhou is not the same. In the early years, Shuozhou was the place where the northern Hu people entered the customs and looted, burned, killed and looted. Even today, it looks extremely desolate and desolate.

Accustomed to seeing the bright and colorful south of the Yangtze River and the majestic and majestic capital, Xue Poye was really uncomfortable when he entered Shuozhou for the first time. The feeling of desolation made Xue Poye feel sympathy in his bones.

The common people here are plainly dressed and thin-skinned, and compared to other state capitals, there are significantly more beggars here. If they hadn't seen the convoy guarded by officers and soldiers, those beggars might have come forward to beg for food.

"Zhumen dog meat stinks, and the road is frozen to death!" Xue Poye sat on the horse, pulling the rein, with Xiaoshi in his arms, and sighed: "Little Shitou, there will always be such poor people in this world. It’s not necessarily that they are hardworking and unmotivated, but sometimes they have to live such an extremely unfair life.”

The little stone blinked, looked at the beggars in the distance, and saw that their eyes were fixed on the things on the cart. Perhaps it was the intuition of hunger that made them judge that the cart was loaded with grain. But they turned a blind eye. At this time, food is far more attractive than silver.

It's just that those ragged clothes, when they saw the clothes and knives and guns of the officers and soldiers, their confused eyes showed fear, and they just squatted and watched from a distance.

"Master, why are they doing this?" Xiao Shitou was puzzled, "Why is this place not as good as Hangzhou?"

Xue Poye rode the golden lion and walked forward slowly. Looking at the terrified and cowering eyes of the passers-by, he felt a little sore in his heart, and calmly said: "War! There is war here, which is why it is so desolate. In this world, Nothing is more cruel than war." Just imagine if there was no war between Da Chu and Bei Hu, and the two sides were in harmony, and they were like brothers, trading with each other, then Shuozhou would not only not suffer from war, but would become two due to trade flow. If it is the advance station of China's trade, then this place will definitely be extremely prosperous, and the lives of ordinary people will definitely be very comfortable.

It's a pity that this is just an assumption, the war will not stop, at least for now the two sides are still full of great hatred, isn't Beihu just about to move recently?

"Master, are you talking about Beihu people?" Xiao Shitou's eyes showed resentment, and his voice was a little cold: "It is Beihu people who made them like this."

Xue Poye's heart trembled. He could hear the little guy's resentment towards Beihu from Xiaoshi's tone. Such a child, who has never even met Beihu people, has such a strong resentment towards Beihu. Then the people of Great Chu are naturally full of great hostility towards Beihu.

It has been many years since Beihu broke through Yanmen and burned, killed and looted in the territory of Dachu. Now the two countries are in the moment of accumulating strength and maintaining superficial harmony, but both sides hope to wipe out the other side , There has been no major war for so many years, but the mutual hostility between the two peoples has not weakened at all due to the passage of time.

"Little Shitou, do you hate Beihu people?" Xue Poye asked softly, "You haven't even met them, so why do you hate them?"

Little Stone said solemnly: "Although I haven't seen it, I have heard of it. Beihu people are beasts. They have no affection and no shame. They often bully us Da Chu and killed many of us Da Chu people before. Master, Didn't you say that the desolation of Shuozhou is related to the war that happened in Beihu? If all the people in Beihu died, then our life would be easier." He suddenly drilled his fist and said firmly: "When I grow up When you grow up, you must join the army and kill all the Beihu people, so that the world will be peaceful."

Xue Poye sighed, and said with a wry smile: "It's really a child's talk." Knowing that the resentment of the people of Dachu towards the people of Beihu is deep-rooted, it is not a sentence or two that can change his point of view. small stone.

All the way to the north, the road was calm and smooth, presumably because the team was strong, and there were guards at all levels along the way, so the thieves didn't dare to make a move.

That night, they set up tents and rested on the road, with two guards on patrol. It was a quiet night, and at dawn the next day, they set off for the north again.

As soon as the new year was over, the weather was already much warmer, but it was getting more and more northbound, but the temperature dropped again. Fortunately, we made preparations in advance, and everyone put on cotton coats so that we would not be cold.

On the wide official road in Shuozhou, the team moved forward in an orderly manner. Xue Poye already knew from his subordinates that according to the current speed, it would take another three days to reach Yanmen Pass.

This road leads directly to Yanmen, except for the occasional scattered crowd, there are few people there, and there are small villages at intervals on both sides, dilapidated and barren.

As the convoy was running, Xue Poye suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind, and knew that the sound of horseshoes was not the sound of a grain transportation convoy. The other rider, however, was wearing a woolen jacket and was very fast. He didn't care about the huge grain transport convoy, so he came galloping beside the convoy.

"Who the hell doesn't have eyes...!"

"I. Fuck, these two guys are crazy...!"

"...Oh, my god...I...fuck, bumped into me...!"

The two galloping horses almost ran into the convoy. Xue Poye was even more surprised. Ordinary people would have no time to hide when they encountered an official convoy. Fortunately, these two guys rushed on the rampage. It's really audacious to think about it at all.

The two horses, one black and one gray, are both strong and good horses. Xue Poye looked at these two horses, and they looked like Beihu horses. Could it be that the passengers on the horses were from Beihu people?It's just that the wool coats of these two people are obviously owned by Da Chu, and the workmanship is very fine.

The two horses gradually slowed down, Xue Poye looked at the black horse in front of him, he saw that the rider was tall, with a hat on his head, but his face was rather pretty, he looked down and almost laughed.

Although this ride is dressed as a man, it is obviously a woman. Under the woolen jacket is a tight-fitting jacket. Maybe she forgot to corset her breasts, or this woman's breasts are too plump and straight, and they are towering into a ball, like Same as the mountains.

"It turned out to be two frizzy little girls." Xue Poye rubbed his nose and smiled. Seeing that the woman in front of her was tall and plump. Although her face was beautiful, her skin had an extremely healthy bronze color. It's a Beihu woman.

Since Xue Poye saw it, those bodyguards who often walked in the rivers and lakes naturally saw it.

"Hey, it turns out that she is a girl, and she is still so arrogant, what kind of man are you pretending to be? Haha..., your big breasts and big butt have already betrayed you. Come, come, come down and walk and talk with the uncle."

"Haha... It's really a woman. You're really good. The tits are really enough for me to grab. Oh, I'm afraid I can't hold them with both hands."

"Hey, look, this woman seems to be a woman from Beihu?"

"That's right, that's right, it's Beihu's girls. I heard that Beihu's girls have big butts. When I saw them today, they really lived up to their reputation. I really want to touch them. They must be slippery."

"That's not necessarily the case. Beihu's women's skin is not as smooth as my Dachu's, but they are much more coquettish. Beihu's women are all bitches. Even ten men can't stand it, hehe... ...Little girls, come here, show off to grandpa...!"

This group of bodyguards usually talk freely, and the topic of this woman is even more frequent. Seeing a beautiful Beihu woman at this time, they couldn't help laughing loudly.

"Who are you calling a bitch?" The black horse rider's voice was bright, delicate but full of air, his brows were tightened, and he looked fiercely at a bodyguard in purple shirt.

How could the bodyguard in Zishan be afraid of a woman, he laughed and said: "What are you fierce? I scolded you little bitch, how about you, come and be a little bitch for me? I will love you very much."

The rider on the black horse was furious, he pulled out his leather whip violently, and aimed at the Zishan bodyguard, the speed was so fast that the Zishan bodyguard was completely unprepared, even though he reacted quickly and dodged, he was still drawn When he hit his shoulder, the clothes shredded and flakes flew, the Zishan bodyguard actually let out a scream, someone nearby saw that the whip smashed the cotton-padded clothes, pulled the flesh, and the Zishan bodyguard's shoulders were already torn apart.

"Sumayou, don't...!" The gray horse rider behind him wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

The rider of the black horse, Su Mayo, apparently had no intention of giving up. He drew out his whip, and another whip followed, but a ray of light passed. Stick's bodyguard shot to stop.

"What a vicious Beihu woman, do you want to court death?" The bodyguard said coldly, "We don't care about women."

The Zishan bodyguard gritted his teeth and cursed: "What a bitch, you dare to sneak up on me. When I capture you, I will let you live or die!" Enduring the pain in his shoulder, he pulled out his waist knife and was about to strike .

Xue Poye said loudly: "Stop!"

Seeing that it was Xue Poye who spoke, the Zishan bodyguard did not dare to disobey, and glared at Su Mayou viciously, wishing to tear her to pieces.

Xue Poye urged the horse to come closer, looked at Su Mayo, and said calmly: "Who are you? How dare you hurt my guard? Do you know what crime you committed?"

When Su Mayou saw Xue Poye coming, he was taken aback for a moment, then immediately saw the golden lion seated by Xue Poye, raised his eyebrows, pointed at the golden lion, and asked directly: "Is this your horse?"

Xue Poye was taken aback, frowned, and said, "Of course it's mine."

Su Mayou smiled and said: "So you are that Xue Poye, hehe, you are not very good!" The Beihu woman did not cover her teeth with a smile like the Central Plains woman, showing a mouthful of white teeth, looking very straightforward.

Xue Poye was taken aback, and asked curiously, "You know me?"

Su Mayou sized Xue Poye's eyes, turned back and said: "Chinatai, let's go." He urged the horse, and left without saying anything, and Chinatai followed closely behind. Everyone was dumbfounded, they really didn't expect that this Beihu woman would be so unscrupulous, in front of Mr. Minister, she would leave as soon as she said it, without saving face.

Su Mayou led Chinatai to urge the horse to leave, and many Habayashi guards went up to surround them, but Xue Poye said indifferently: "Forget it, let them go, they are just two women who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth. "

Sitting on the horse, he quietly watched Su Mayo's disappearing figure, dazed in a daze.
