The Submissive Emperor
Chapter 60: Linjiang
The Scarface Mountain Bandit was tremblingly pressed by the two Youyun Guards and came in. He knelt on the ground and began to shout loudly, "Uncle forgive me, but the little one has eyes but doesn't know Taishan. Leave me with a low life, and I am willing to be a cow for the uncle. Horse."
This is very neat, and it is estimated that this kind of "flexible and stretchable" thing has never been done before.
Lou Jing didn't talk to him and didn't look at him. He sprinkled the seasoning on the roast duck. It is reasonable to say that the prey in the spring will not be too fat, but the two Yun Twelve Hunters are very fat and tender. He said to Xiao Chengjun: "The wild ducks will migrate to the Central Plains in early spring. Now that wild ducks can be hunted here, it must be too fat to fly away."
Xiao Chengjun nodded slightly. He didn't think that at the moment, he was hungry after smelling the fragrant smell.
The Scarlet Man was boring and dared not say anything again, and he was honestly pressed by You Yunwei.
"Who is you and why did you pass by here?" Xiao Chengjun said slowly when he had enough air for that person.
After the intimacy, his waist was still a little sore, but there was an outsider present, and he was sitting upright and uncomfortable, so he asked and diverted his attention.
The slight uncomfortableness of his own husband has deceived others, but can not escape Lou Jing's eyes. He rolled the duck in his hand, then moved it aside, and was next to Xiao Chengjun, looking like he was leaning on him. To others.
Xiao Chengjun smiled slightly and leaned against Lou Jing without a trace.
"I am a ringing horse from the hills near here," the scarface replied, "I am going to Laohei Mountain." No need to ask, this man said everything like a bamboo tube poured beans.
But it turned out that the officers and soldiers came to suppress the bandits a few days ago. They were a small hill and couldn't help fighting. The hill boss fled first if the situation was not right, saying that he went to a cottage in a neighboring county. They also scattered and fled. These few days, they are all potential nearby villages and towns, and small stocks are going to neighboring counties.
Lou Jing raised his eyebrows, "You will run away when the officers and soldiers come. How did this cottage last so many years before?"
"Wait for the officers and soldiers to leave, come back again." The scarred man didn't care. The big and small cottages in Jiangzhou looked like this. When the officers and soldiers came, they could go to other cottages to take refuge, as long as they paid enough money for that cottage. .
Xiao Chengjun frowned. No wonder the Jiangzhou banditry has not been cured for so many years. It seems that it is not just a problem of rugged mountains, easy to defend and hard to attack, but also because these bandits are very cunning and do not fight head-on with officers and soldiers. Are you guys?"
The Scarlet Man shook his head. Although they were also scared, after hiding for these days, they only saw officers and soldiers sweeping the mountain on the first day, and then quickly evacuated, and no one came to arrest them.
"It's a nonsense!" Xiao Chengjun was very angry. The new Jiangzhou governor wanted the achievements of the bandits. No matter where these little thieves went, it is no wonder that Jiangzhou would be like this. Come on, Jun!"
The Scar Mountain Bandit suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the words. Hearing this, he must be an official official, so that he will not let him go.
Lou Jing stretched out his hand to caress the back of the people around him, and raised his chin, "Kill him."
Yun Yi took his command and dragged the scarred man tied into zongzi into the yard.
"Master Guan, spare my life, I just want to grab some money and go home to support the elderly mother!" Hearing that he was going to be killed, the scarred face suddenly wailed.
Just grab some money? Thinking of the scene he saw, Lou Jing snorted coldly, and dared to reach out to Xiao Chengjun's people, regardless of whether you wanted to rob you of money or sex, **** it all!
"Everyone who is going to be killed said so." If you were so filial, how could you come out to fight the house so unscrupulously, Yun kicked the scar on the face and kicked the knife, and killed him cleanly. .
"Are you going to stay in Jiangzhou?" You Yunwei retired. Xiao Chengjun relaxed and leaned against Lou Jing. He remembered that he was a general of the imperial court. Now that Jiangzhou is in chaos, I am afraid that he will be busy when he arrives at Nansi County. Woke up.
"No," Lou Jing sat cross-legged, let his husband lie down on his legs, and smiled mysteriously at him, "Now, when I am not ready to take action, go to Nansi County to order a mao, and I will follow you to Fujian. Go to the state."
The next day, the two went on the road and arrived in Linjiang County before noon.
The largest river in the Yu Dynasty divides Jiangzhou into the north and south. Linjiang County is the narrowest place in the entire Jiangzhou river, and people who follow the official road usually cross the river here.
Nowadays, many refugees are surrounded outside the county seat, but not as many as those outside the city of Xunyang. This is because the county seat is very small and the pier crossing the river is not in the city. There are heavy guards outside the city. Refugees gather on the pier, etc. Ferry them across the river with a boat.
"What happened in Qingzhou?" Lou Jing looked at the refugees gathered at the city gate, very puzzled.
Xiao Chengjun squeezed the reins in his hand, "The flood has not been repaired, the repair of the river has delayed the autumn planting, Qingzhou has a famine, and the capital has sent an imperial mission to check it out. Shen Lian is afraid that the imperial court will find out, so he drove the women and children who could not be laborers to Jiangzhou. ."
Last year, Qingzhou flooded, but taxes were not lacking. The fields were barren and there was no food storage. As you can imagine, the displaced refugees fled to Jiangzhou in a swarm. Jiangzhou was in chaos again, and no one was taking care of it for a while.
"Master, you can enter the city." Yun came to report that there were also heavily guarded outside Linjiang City, but as long as they handed over one or two silver per person to enter the city, they could enter.
"My son, good job, take me into the city, I can wash, cook, burn firewood..." Seeing these people in fresh clothes and angry horses, the refugees flocked to them.
Xiao Chengjun looked at the haggard people and regretted it, but now as a feudal king, he cannot directly intervene in the affairs of the court. The people he should meet and the things that should be explained have already been done. He must go to the fief as soon as possible.
The Youyun Sixteen Guards quickly formed a circle, surrounded the two masters, pulled out their sabers to prevent those people from approaching, and they rode their horses into the city quickly.
There is peace in Linjiang City. Although the city cannot be closed, the time is still short, and the people have not received much impact.
After washing in the inn, the two put on ordinary long-sleeved robes and took them to the restaurant by the river.
Linjiang City got its name because one side of it is Linjiang, and many restaurants have been built along the river, which can enjoy the scenery and serve meals, and it has the best of both worlds.
"Now is the season for the plump mandarin fish. Now that you are in Linjiang, you have to taste it." Lou Jing took his husband to sit down. There are no windows on the second floor of this restaurant. The bamboo curtain is a low railing outside. It is a vast river surface, which is a good place to enjoy the scenery.
"The guest officer is really right. Our squirrel mandarin fish here is the first one in Linjiang City!" Xiao Er smiled politely.
"Then come a squirrel mandarin fish, and some special dishes." Lou Jing said happily.
"Good-" Xiao Er left in response to a long voice.
Xiao Chengjun looked at Lou Jing with a smile on his face helplessly.
Although he was very worried about Jiangzhou, there was a time limit for going to the fief. If he did not reach Minzhou within forty days, someone would join him and leave the fief without permission.
"On the same road as you, you are exiled, and for me it is also a play." Lou Jing held the hand of His Royal Highness Minwang placed on the table and said softly.
Xiao Chengjun was stunned, looking at the undisguised gentleness in the eyes of the stars, he suddenly didn't know how to answer, so he turned his head to look at the riverside and turned his face at him.
Lou Jing squeezed the soft bunny buns in one hand, and played with his chin in the other. He smiled and watched that ear turned from white to pink.
"Why are there no ships on the river?" Xiao Chengjun frowned slightly looking at the empty dock.
It just so happened that Xiao Er came to serve the food, and he said: "It wasn't the refugees who made trouble. Someone entered the river to fish the day before. Those refugees grabbed the boat and had to cross the river, killing the fisherman."
Refugees have no money and want to take a boat across the river, so they can only grab it hard. Nowadays, the ferry and fishermen are afraid to take the boat.
Xiao Chengjun's heart sank. Without a boat, how would they leave?
"Don't worry, I let Yun Ba go to investigate, there will always be a way." Lou Jing waved his hand to let Xiao Er go down, picked a chopsticks of fish and put it in Xiao Chengjun's bowl, and heard Yun Jiu say that his Yuan Lang is doing it these days. He didn't eat well, so he was so distressed that he was brought here to eat some good food.
"These refugees don't care, there will be trouble sooner or later... Um..." Xiao Chengjun was stuffed with a bite of fish.
"Are you waiting for me to feed, right?" Lou Jing looked clear, got up and sat next to Xiao Chengjun, and whispered, "His Royal Highness should have said it earlier, which made me guess for a long time."
Xiao Chengjun glared at him, there was something in his mouth, unable to speak, so he had to eat the fish first. The delicious fish and the savory sauce are very delicious. Xiao Chengjun's eyes showed a slightly satisfied look, "Stop making trouble, sit back."
Lou Jing looked at the bamboo curtains around him. The people at the other tables couldn't see them clearly. "Don't go back unless you feed me a bite."
There are no thorns in the mandarin fish, and it can be eaten with confidence. Xiao Chengjun couldn't. He stirred up several pieces of fish, dipped them in the sauce, and stuffed his brain into the mouth of a guy who was starting to shame again.
"Hmm..." Lou Jing's mouth was so full, she had to chew hard, looking like a squirrel eating a big nut.
Xiao Chengjun looked at him and couldn't help but chuckle, and his worries were also wiped out. Really, with this person, he couldn't feel sad anymore.
Yunba ran all over Linjiang City, and the ferry stopped at the ferry, but the men said they didn't want to go, saying that it would take at least seven days before they could ferry.
"Now there are only two ways to buy a ferry, we cross the river by ourselves, or when the night is over, the men will be willing to cross people." Back at the inn, Yunba said everything he had found.
"In the daytime, those refugees are staring. Even if we buy a boat, we can't cross the river." Yun Sixteen went to inquire about the situation in the city. "Moreover, there are many submerged and dangerous beaches at Hezui Bend along the river, and there is no man who is familiar with waterways. We can't get through at all."
"Then cross the river at night, you go and book three larger ferry boats." Lou Jing pondered for a moment, and asked Yun Ba to do it soon. Apart from people, there are 18 horses, and one ferry can't carry it at all.
Yunba quickly found a boat. The ordinary ferry could not carry horses. Fortunately, there was a merchant who was eager to go to the south of Jiangzhou to sell goods. He had a large cargo ship and gave them some money to help them carry the horses. The cargo ship was very messy, so two Youyunwei followed the ship, and the rest took the ordinary ferry for two days.
Walking the waterway at night, even if there is a skilled man, it is still very dangerous. Lou Jing looked at the dark river surface. The turbulent water flowed in his ears, making him feel a little uneasy in his heart. He and Xiao Chengjun's belts were tied together, leaving only two feet between them.
"What's this?" Xiao Chengjun didn't stop him, and asked when he was fastened.
Lou Jing squeezed his hand, "I'm afraid you will lose it."
