Chapter 397: Encounter on a narrow road
Death means that everything is futile, but the sadness is not the same as that of Jiuzhou.
Wang Shibei set the Central Plains Day, and he never forgot to tell Nai Weng about family sacrifices.
This poem was once published in "Yunzhou Weekly" and was submitted by an unknown poet.
As soon as this poem was published, newspaper sales surged.
Especially in Wuzhou, many people secretly collect them.
Hearing the words Dingbei Road, Gu Nanxi was also stunned.
She originally thought that Ma Nantian would build Majia Road, Nantian Road, and the like, but she never expected that he would build Dingbei Road.
Bewildered for a moment, Gu Nanxi said decisively: "Okay, this road is called Dingbei Road!"
Gu Nanxi closed the box: "Take this gold back! These roads are not included in the bidding. There is no way I can take your money! The name Dingbei Road suits my taste!”
Ma Nantian kowtowed again: "This is what our Ma family has voluntarily donated to the general! I only hope that one day, Master Wang can conquer the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun in the north!"
Gu Nanxi felt the pressure on her shoulders again under heavy pressure.
……
It was early spring, and boats were not allowed on the river in Shuozhou, so most caravans took the land route.
In the Shuozhou Post Station, the postmaster summoned several postmen: "Go to the Osmanthus fragrans shop on South Street and buy some snacks and canned mutton."
The postman pursed his lips at the post station: "Did the imperial envoy order it again?"
The postmaster curled his lips: "Who else could it be besides him?"
The postman frowned. : "It's not like he dislikes the dim sum in Guihua Shop for not being good enough. "Isn't the canned mutton fresh enough?"
Yi Cheng was confused: "Why do you care so much?"
The postman ran away quickly.
The postmaster was very upset. The master who had delivered the message had been staying at the posthouse for several months. Why couldn't he still leave?
"Yicheng, have you bought what I want?" Prince Ji Guo slowly walked down the stairs and asked loudly.
"My lord, we have sent a postman to buy it."
The Prince of Jiguo took boiling water and boiled the tea cup in disgust: "I didn't say it, you Shuozhou is really a bird. What a shitty place! I want to buy something, why is it so hard to do this in Beijing? You can buy it all without going out.”
The Prince of Jiguo moistened his throat and continued to complain: “If I hadn’t received the emperor’s order, I really wouldn’t have come here. Alas, Shuozhou is like this! I don’t know how remote and desolate Yunzhou is!”
Yi Cheng has been hearing such complaints for several months, and his ears are about to grow calluses, so he retorted in a neutral tone: "It's really hard work, sir! If you ask me, it's better to go to Yunzhou earlier and get it done earlier. Finish this I'm off, so I can go back to Kyoto and enjoy the blessings."
Prince Ji Guo stopped holding the tea cup and cursed in his heart, no wonder this Yi Cheng has been working here for more than ten years and has never been promoted. He is so incompetent. Speak!
At this time, the wife of Prince Ji Guo also came down. When she saw the situation, she knew that her husband was being attacked again.
The wife of the Duke of Jiguo is not in a hurry. Anyway, she still has to go to Yunzhou when her husband has spent almost all his money.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Prince Ji Guo found a topic on his own and asked himself: "Then Mr. Niu, the supervisor of the Yunzhou Army, has a close relationship with me. How long has he stayed at this inn? ”
Yi Cheng: "That's a coincidence. Heroes see the same thing! You are indeed good friends. Master Niu is only a month younger than you."
Pfft!
Mrs. Ji Guo Gong’s wife couldn’t hold it back and laughed out loud. Before the Ji Guo Gong’s anger got angry, she got rid of Yi Cheng: “I was on the second floor just now and saw several caravans walking towards here in the distance. Come, I must want to stay in Yi Stop and take a rest, why don't you go and take a look?" After quarreling with the prince of Jiguo, Yi Cheng felt a lot more comfortable, but the official rank was so overwhelming that Yi Cheng didn't dare to make him angry anymore, so he used his wife to help him. Youzi, hurry out and take a look.
“Who are you looking for?!” The prince of Duke Jigong had nowhere to vent his anger.
"Can you take care of me? I paid for the trip myself, and I didn't take advantage of you!"
"You are so capable, why don't you go to Yunzhou alone?" Prince Ji Guo said deliberately .
The wife of the Prince of Jiguo did not tolerate him: "If I were like you, protected by soldiers, I would have gone a long time ago! Just wait, if those caravans go to Yunzhou, I won’t wait here with you!”
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be there.
Yicheng enthusiastically welcomed the two groups of people into the post station.
"Who are they? What qualifications do they have to enter the inn?" Prince Ji Guo looked for trouble.
Yicheng's brows were almost twisted into a straight line.
Although this post station mainly receives officials, Shuozhou is remote and surrounded by mountains, so if passing caravans have needs, the post station will also receive them.
Therefore, the caravans are happy to take this route, and the people near the inn can also buy a variety of goods.
This is called making things convenient for others and making things convenient for yourself.
Of those two teams, one was neatly dressed and looked capable.
The leader was a middle-aged man in his thirties with a goatee, he said with a smile.
"We are from the south of the Yangtze River and want to do business in Yunzhou. This is our document."
Yicheng took the document, glanced at it briefly, and then put it in the courtyard on the first floor. gave it to them.
“The courtyard on the first floor is spacious and quiet, suitable for you.”
Of course, the price of such a yard is more expensive.
"Thank you!" The man with the goatee led the caravan to settle down.
The other team looked even more dusty. Everyone's clothes and cuffs were embroidered with strange patterns, and their bodies were not as tall and strong as those from the North.
They were obviously not good at words. They only handed the documents to Yi Cheng for reading and were arranged to the west side of the second floor.
The Crown Prince of Ji Guo frowned and said displeasedly: "Who are they? I am an imperial envoy carrying orders. If there are assassins among them and they are harmful to me, can you afford it?"
< br>
The prince of Jiguo lived on the east side of the second floor.
Hearing the words "Imperial Envoy", both teams stopped in their tracks and looked at the Crown Prince of Jigong with a vague look.
The atmosphere at the inn suddenly became a little weird.
Yicheng was worried that the three parties would cause trouble, so he hurriedly said: "They are not businessmen, they came here on the order of Mr. Zhu from Nanjun."
Xu Shi finally understood the power of the imperial envoys Majesty, Ji Guo Gongshi Zi was a little complacent for a moment, and deliberately asked: "Master Zhu? The south and the north are far apart. Why do you have to avoid people like this for important matters? Doesn't he know how to avoid suspicion? Or is he trying to conspire with Gu Nanxi?"< br>
Yi Cheng's pupils shrank suddenly!
The originally quiet Nanjun man suddenly tensed up his muscles, like a beast ready to attack!
The prince of Duke Ji did not know that the danger was approaching, and he wanted to talk nonsense. The next second, he was slapped under the table by the young lady of Duke Ji!
"What a joke, everyone! He is not feeling well and always likes to talk nonsense. He has been resting in the inn for so long and he is not fully recovered yet!"
