Chapter 319 The Stars of the Desert

In the afternoon of the same day, after Lian Zhun left, Yunshang and his party also embarked on a journey to the north.

However, the difference is that Yunshang's departure from Pingxing Mansion is extremely grand. Jiangxi officials, three teachers and nine streams, all came to the river to see them off. And Hongqi, the imperial envoy, went to see Lu Shen by boat with Yunshang.

He Chang'an, the governor of the Southern Army of the town, held Yunshang's hand and said, "Is Princess Wuyou leaving now? Our two brothers have a talk about speculation, and there are still a lot of questions to ask Princess Wuyou for advice... Be careful on the way. With General Lu's 300 guards, it's natural to be safe. What I'm talking about is to be careful of your body, don't be too tired, and pay attention to both hot and cold... You said you're not sick yet. Why is it so Are you in a hurry to leave?"

Yunshang was a little funny. Only then did I know that this general also had such a mother-in-law side. I had to answer one by one, explained the reason why I had to leave, and promised to contact him often in the future. This made He Chang'an stop talking about business.

In fact, the main thing is how to use the face value of 200,000 taels of silver bill stuffed by Yunshang to He Chang'an in the morning. Although Yunshang has said that it is to make up for the gap of wholesale silver for soldiers in Pingxing Mansion, the two both know that in fact, the money does not need to be returned.

Earlier, He Chang'an planned to abandon the city, and naturally he didn't have to pay it back with this money. Now His Majesty the Emperor is cheeringly supporting their "rebellion", and no one dares to ask them about the money. What's more, the money is really used to guard the city, and there is a good reason. At least at present, there will be no civil servants to ask. The legality of the procedures for the use of silver.

But Yunshang still gave the 200,000 yuan without hesitation. As early as when she came out of the capital, she had planned the ownership of 200,000 silver - to Pingxingfu. After all, these 200,000 yuan were part of the original funds for disaster relief in Pingxing Prefecture. They were intercepted by the Ministry of Household and finally handed over to her.

Of course, she has to give 200,000 yuan, but she also has to care about how to give it and to whom she gives it. At least, she can't let 200,000 taels of silver get it out of her hand for nothing, but she can't hear a sound, can she?

Yunshang and He Chang'an briefly discussed for a while, and then said something about the credit of someone in the Pingxing War. Then they said goodbye and asked Hongqi to board the central ship first, and then watched Lu Shen's 300 personal guards scattered on several official ships around them. Then they boarded the boat, waved his hand and let the sailor to sail. .

Standing on the deck, looking at the fading Pingxing Mansion, and looking at the still towering and magnificent Tengwang Pavilion in the distance, some indescribable feelings came to Yunshang's heart. She lived here for a while. When she came, how lively was the boat? Now that I leave, I look lonely.

The departure of Xin Fenghan and Lian Zhun made her most melancholy.

"Worry-free Princess?" Yingluo behind her called her gently and sighed to herself, "I didn't expect that so many things had happened in Pingxing Mansion for so many days... Now I really leave."

Yunshang slightly hooked the corners of her lips and did not look back. "Yes, just leave. Your gift-giving business has not been completed yet!"

Yingluo heard her joke, but replied solemnly, "Yes, the gift-giving has not been finished, and the imperial edict has come. It's really depressing! However, in one night, how many officials rushed to send the gift back and prepared several times the money to honor the worry-free princess... But it still feels good to smash the money, and it's also good to go shopping!"

"Do you feel good?" Yunshang turned her head and bent her eyebrows. "Then you can be happy - send Hongqi to Jiangxia to spread the decree. There will be a lot of detours. Just in time, you can walk all the way!"

"Really?!" Yingluo swelled, thought about it and shook his head again. "After the imperial edict was passed, the officials in Jiangxi did not dare to accept our gifts. Are they the same everywhere else? Where can I send it out?!"

"I'm serious." Yunshang thought thoughtfully, "If officials everywhere are polite, you can keep it. If the courtesy is too heavy, write it down and wait for me to deal with it. But whether you send it to us or not, you still send it to him as usual. If you haven't sent it before, you have to send it; if you have sent it, keep in touch and continue to send it! It doesn't have to be too much, but it's better to persevere..."

Yingluo was stunned, "How can there be such an upside-down gift?! In the past, when we begged others, they would accept it, but now, do you dare to accept it?"

"Who said I wouldn't beg them?" Yunshang didn't know that her smile now fell on Yingluo's eyes. She already had a bit of the demeanor of Chu County Marquis in those years. "In a few days, you will help me write some secret letters to those who received things one by one and make some trivial things to beg them. I'll tell you exactly how to write it.

Yingluo was still in the clouds. When he was about to ask again, he suddenly saw the red oak appearing on the deck with a smile, so he had to stop.

"What are the girl talking about with Princess Wuyou?" Hongqi came over and said, "It was lively, but I left the slave alone in the cabin..."

He knew that Yunshang did not attend the banquet in Pingxingfu last night, which was angry with his words; so now his face is full of flattery.

"I'm talking about gift-giving." Yunshang couldn't really neglect him. She answered, and then turned back to Yingluo and said, "I remembered another thing: Lao Lizheng of Jixi, I heard that there was a little grandson at home. Remember to back up a generous gift for me and send it."

Yingluo agreed and knew that Hongqi had something to say, so he retreated.

Yunshang then turned around and casually asked about the situation in Hongqi in Beijing and what he had seen along the way.

The two chatted for a while, and Hong Li asked, "Princess Wuyou, I heard that Major General Lu is now in Jiangxia?"

"Exact" Yunshang looked at the official ships where Lu Shen's guard was not far away. Those boats half raised their sails and guarded the central ship slowly. General Lu took the land road and rushed to Jiangxia first. I heard that his family over there is critically ill, and I need to see him urgently.

"Does General Lu have any family members?" Hongqi shook his head, "I heard your majesty say that Major General Lu has grown up in the army since he was a child. Except for the Northern Marquis Lu Can, he doesn't seem to have any family?"

Yunshang nodded, and the same is true of the news from the Yulin Guards. Lu Shen was raised by the Northern Marquis Lu Can after a coup in the capital 16 years ago. It is said that in such a remote pass as Bainanguan, this noble prince Lu Erzi was not raised as a noble aristocrat at all. On the contrary, at the beginning, Lu Shen was just doing chores in the Firehead Army. Later, because of his diligence and excellent martial arts, he soon became the youngest soldier. Next, with accumulated military achievements and a weak year, he had his current status. It can be said that the story of Lu Shen is almost a legend in the army.

However, this time, Lu Shen went to Jiangxia to meet his "family", but the Yulin Guard could not investigate it. Who was his mysterious family and how could he live in Jiangxia? He was also the object of Yunshang's curiosity.

However, this time, he also borrowed the light of the red oak. Yunshang was able to borrow the reason for escorting the imperial edict. He also went to Jiangxia to see with his own eyes. What kind of Lu Shen's so nervous "family" came from?

Seeing that Yunshang did not answer, Hongqi quietly looked at her expression and said, "This kind of thing of listening to the news is the best of the Yulin Guard. On the day I came, I saw that your majesty had received a thousand-mile letter from Mr. Lian Zhun's son, and sighed repeatedly. It was only said that after Lu Can, the Northern Marquis, there was no one in the Yulin Guards. It was a pity. Take the sharp blade."

Yunshang knew that he was showing his goodwill, so he smiled and said, "Now that Mr. Lian Zhun has entered the imperial guard in charge of the Yulin, he must be able to regain his original demeanor."

Hongqi quickly nodded and smiled flatteringly, "Speaking of which, your majesty's favor to Princess Wuyou has really not diminished at all. Which of these imperial edicts is not for the purpose of Princess Wuyou? Your majesty didn't investigate even when the prospective son of Lian left Beijing without permission, but he was afraid that he would implicate the worry-free princess after investigation! Princess Wuyou doesn't even know how this matter is spread in Beijing now--"

He immediately paused and said, "Princess Wuyou is leaving Beijing these days. Your Majesty often misses Princess Wuyou and sits alone in the Green Pavilion. Sometimes he sits all night, and even I feel distressed when I look at her! ......”

Yunshang snorted slightly and said in her heart: I'm afraid that Feng Ziqi is thinking about national affairs in her name again, right? Even if her relationship with Feng Zifeng has improved now, she doesn't remember how well she has with him?!

However, she reached into her sleeve and held the yellow silk "embroidered handkerchief"; was this thing really embroidered by the emperor? In her memory, she just once played such a joke with him and agreed that if she could successfully defeat the traitor of the Huolian religion this time... His majesty of a country would personally do some female red work for her.

And the reason why Feng Zifeng made such a bet with her is entirely because... The female redness of the worry-free princess is surprisingly rotten. Among the high-level officials of the Dafeng Dynasty, it is no longer a big secret!

***

In my memory, the young emperor, who was a head taller than her, sat next to her and began to tell a story: in the far northwest, there was a large desert. There was a small village in the desert. There was no food or water, and life was very hard; but the people there had never left the village... Legend has it that there were evil spirits. Living in the village, no matter who tries to leave, he can only walk back to the starting point, otherwise he will starve to death in the desert...

In a conversation in the Green Pavilion, Feng Ziqi unexpectedly told her a story that only a child would like to listen to.

On that day, it was also a beautiful scenery.

The phoenix purple under the moonlight shows a completely different aura of Heping Surrey.

When he looked at himself, his eyes flashed... It turned out to be a gentle light similar to Lian Zhun.
