Lin Jiabiyu

Tianhe City belongs to Beiyan, it was a subsidiary city of the original Weimeng Grassland, and later belonged to Beiyan.People in the prairie called Yuanjiang Tianhe, hence the name.You can see Yuanjiang from the gate of Tianhe City.The large tent of the Chinese army of the Beiyan garrison is in the camp more than ten miles away from Tianhe City.

Due to the cold weather in winter, the battle on the Yuan River stopped for a while, and in time for the Chinese New Year, the soldiers also had a day or two off, so there were often ordinary soldiers wandering the streets in twos and threes in the city.Or three or two went to the small shop to drink and satisfy their hunger, or went out to have a tooth-beating festival, and some of them sent things and letters home.

Brother Luo came out of Xiao's grocery store, wearing a winter coat issued by ordinary soldiers, still with a shy smile on his face, occasionally nodding his head to say hello to people passing by on the street, all the way out of the city Go straight to the barracks.

In the warlord's big tent, Yuwen stretched his waist and got up from the bed. The soldiers outside brought food in, Yuwen frowned and glanced at the dishes, with a little anger on his face, scratching The boots next to his feet were thrown towards the soldier who delivered the food.

"You bastard! Yuchi Jingde just asked you to give these things to the master? Are you losing your temper now?"

How dare the little soldier hide, he kept smiling.There was only a muffled bang, and the heavy boots hit the soldier's forehead straight, followed by another bang, and the boots fell to the ground.

There was a red mark on Xiaobing's forehead, and even the bridge of his nose was half red, but he was dragging the vegetable plate safely in his hands, and carefully put it away, then bowed his waist to pick up the boots and held them in his hands.He handed it up respectfully, and explained with a smile: "My lord, calm down. The road has been blocked by heavy wind and snow for the past two days, and Lao Zhang who delivered food in the kitchen has not come today, and the same is delivered to General Yuchi's account. "

Yuwen sneered, stared at the soldier's smiling face for a moment, and then stretched out his feet.

Xiaobing hurriedly knelt down on the ground, waiter Yuwen put on his shoes, knelt and took a step back, and asked cautiously: "The food is cold. Go and warm it up for the adults before bringing it here!"

"Master, you are playing sloppy, get out!" Yuwen actually kicked the little soldier away, and walked out of the big tent with a cold snort.

The little soldier who was on the ground sat up and touched the bridge of his nose. He took a deep breath in pain, then smiled at himself, got up and brought back the food he had brought in just now.

Wait for Brother Luo to return to the camp from Tianhe City.It was the end of the day, and Yuwen was in the main tent, flipping through the battle report and the letter sent by the court, bored.

Brother Luo nodded to the guard guarding the gate, and he opened the curtain directly to enter the tent without sending a report. He saluted Yuwen and smiled shyly.While handing over the mahogany box.

"Look, my lord, this is brought by shopkeeper Xiao from the south."

Yuwen actually lost the battle report in his hand.He signaled Brother Luo to come closer, opened the box and took a look, only then did he feel a little satisfied on his face.

"It's a good item. Let someone send it to the Empress Dowager later. Shopkeeper Xiao knows how to do business. What did you ask him to bring?"

Brother Luo touched his head with a smile, "There is no one in my family, and I don't need these things in this barracks... This subordinate asked shopkeeper Xiao for a jade pendant, which seems to match the fan of your lord." As he spoke, he took out an extremely delicate and lustrous mutton fat jade pendant from his pocket.He held it and handed it to Yu Wenjing.

Yuwen looked at Brother Luo with a half-smile, and threw away the box.He took the fan pendant from Brother Luo's hand, squinted his eyes, and said with a playful smile: "It's just such a thing, I have as much as I want, and you still need to exchange it with military salary?" , with obvious joy and interest in his eyes.

Brother Luo's face flushed slightly, and his already handsome face was even more immature, and he murmured: "It's useless for my subordinates to save their military salary..."

Yuwen actually laughed out loud, and put away the pendant.I had nothing to do at the moment, and I became a little bit interested for a while, staring at Brother Luo with some meaning in my eyes.

Brother Luo panicked when he was stared at by this naked|naked|naked gaze, he blushed quickly and changed the subject: "My lord, I heard shopkeeper Xiao say a few more words today, and I don't know whether it's true or not... ... Shopkeeper Xiao said that the south side may not be very good."

The smile in Yuwen's eyes darkened, his face sank, he stared at Brother Luo and asked, "What else?"

"Treasurer Xiao said that there are more guards at the southern outposts than in previous years, especially near the capital. There are more guards than in the previous year's war. Besides, I heard that the old man of the Great Qin Emperor is about to lose his strength. I don't know if it's true or not. " Brother Luo picked up the words of shopkeeper Xiao and said the most important thing.

As soon as the words were finished, there was a slap, and Yu Wen had already slapped the table and stood up, staring at Brother Luo with a very serious expression, and ordered: "Get that shopkeeper Xiao here! Keep it secret!"

Brother Luo looked up at Yu Wenjing, seemed to be stunned for a moment, then hurriedly responded, turned around and went to Tianhe City.

Yuwen actually looked at Luo Xiaoge's back, his heart was turbulent, but his face was tense, and he unconsciously exerted force on the brush with his fingers, and the pen holder snapped into two pieces.

No wonder Lu Er wants to return to the capital!The old son of the Great Qin Emperor has always had scruples about the Lu family.Now that he is going back to the west, he must fight with his last breath, which is a great benefit for Yu Beiyan!For him, Yuwen is actually a good opportunity not to be missed!If he can seize the opportunity to take down the Longchuan Mansion, Beiyan will hold Daqin's Northern Land in his hands!He, Yuwen, is Beiyan's great hero!

Brother Luo almost went straight all the way to Xiao's grocery store, without being greeted by anyone, went straight to the inner room and called shopkeeper Xiao, panting and coughing: "Please come with me, the shopkeeper , our adults are very satisfied with the items brought back by the shopkeeper, and we have a few words to ask the shopkeeper."

The smile on Shopkeeper Xiao's face faltered, and then he sighed, not saying much, obviously expecting such a trip long ago.Without waiting for Brother Luo to say anything else, he nodded and went out to instruct the clerks and stewards in the store. Then he packed up and followed Brother Luo all the way out of the city.

It was already noon when shopkeeper Xiao came out of the camp.The wind and snow outside made people unable to open their eyes. Shopkeeper Xiao got into the carriage, the ruts of the carriage began to roll, and he drove out of the barracks in a short while.

In the carriage, shopkeeper Xiao stroked his chest to calm his breath, looked at the swaying curtains with a somewhat lax look, and it took him a long time to recover, frowning and sighing.

He is from Beiyan, so naturally he doesn't care what Daqin is like, but the old shopkeeper's words are not unreasonable. This fight... Sigh, I don't know if his news is correct...

After thinking about it, shopkeeper Xiao took another breath, straightened his face, and his eyes became clear again.He was not the only one who heard the news, and it would reach the officials' ears sooner or later.If he speaks too late, I'm afraid he will suffer another disaster!He is no better than the old shopkeeper and Xue Yi, his whole family is in Beiyan.Let’s just live one day at a time. If there is a fight, at worst he will take his wife, children, and most of his life’s belongings to Beijing. There are many officials there, and it’s the capital city. Even if he endures it as a grandson for a few years, at least he can be more stable. .

Few people paid attention to Shopkeeper Xiao's visit to the barracks, and the military governor had always been at odds with the general, so it would not be surprising to invite a woman, let alone a shopkeeper.

As soon as Shopkeeper Xiao's carriage left, Yuchi Jingde got the news from his personal guard, and after a while he asked indifferently: "Yuwen has been so busy recently?"

The personal guard blinked his eyes in embarrassment, but his voice was still loud and clear, he stood up straight, and replied firmly: "Returning to the general, early this morning, Lord Yuwen said that the food in the kitchen was not good, and angrily scolded the general for letting people Send these things over, and at the same time hit the cook Li Xiaoer's forehead with his boots, and even kicked him. Nothing else, nothing else."

Yuchi Jingde glared at the guard soldier, blew his beard in anger, and kicked the soldier.

The little soldier didn't dodge, he was kicked abruptly, he opened his mouth and took a breath, but smiled foolishly on his face, and then asked honestly: "General, that shopkeeper Xiao, how about Please come here for an interrogation?"

Yuchi Jingde stared at him, slapped the guard on the forehead, and shouted: "I will guard you in the big tent!"

The guard soldier laughed a few times, and finally didn't ask any more questions, and retreated instead.

Yuchi Jingde stared at the scattered battle report folders and other things on the table, his face gradually sank, his eyes were dark and dark, and he called out "Xiao Yi" to the empty tent.As soon as the words were finished, a white shadow quickly flashed in from outside the curtain.

"Is there any letter from the south recently?"

"Report to General. The most recent news arrived on the fourth day of the lunar new year. According to this route, the next letter will not arrive until the ninth day of the new year."

Yuchi Jingde nodded with a sullen face, "The caravan from Tianhe City is back. Those merchants have no other skills, they are the best at franchising, and the news is well-informed. Go and ask."

"My subordinate understands."

It was snowing heavily in Tianhe City, but the coast of the Yuanjiang River was still quiet, and it didn't look much different from the previous two days.

Different from the silence in the Yuanjiang area, Shangjing, the capital city of Northern Yan, is very lively.Although it was cold and snowing, as the annual Shangyuan Festival was approaching, young girls and younger generations from every household in Shangjing came out together.The shops facing the street were also open, and all kinds of fresh items were also displayed. The vendors on the street were busy selling from morning to night.

In Prince Liang's mansion, Concubine Liang was frowning slightly and talking to Prince Liang about someone giving gifts in the afternoon with a worried expression on her face.

"...This matter shouldn't bother the prince, but this gift... Hey, let's take a look at the prince first..." As he spoke, he took a long box from the hand of his confidant girl, and signaled the girl to back out. The box was handed over to King Liang, "There have been a lot of people giving gifts these days, and I didn't have time to look at them all. They were all registered and put into the warehouse by the accountants. Coincidentally, it was only delivered this afternoon. I asked later in the afternoon, I thought I was free today, so I went over to have a look, took it out and took a look... Really, it was very scary! If I hadn't seen it today, I would be terrified to think about it..." ( To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
