The brocade-clothed servant brought tea to Xu Ling and Zhou Changqing.
Xu Ling saw that the tea leaves were clear and green, with a faint aroma. The tea leaves were all young tips, but they were larger than the hair tips. He couldn't help thinking: What kind of tea is this? Haven't seen it before
He took a sip, the tea liquid was slightly bitter at the beginning, but the aftertaste was very sweet, it was really good tea.
The envoy Lin Jiedu smiled and said: "This is the jade leaf tea produced in Tongbai Mountain in Wanzhou. Master Xu and Master Zhou are used to drinking it?"
His voice is that of a young man, like the sound of a qin, with a slow tone, very pleasant to hear.
Xu Ling and Zhou Changqing hurriedly stood up together: "This tea is very sweet, thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"
? Lin Jiedushi seemed to be very reticent. After a few pleasantries, he went straight to the topic and began to ask about the situation of the military guards in Weishi County.
Xu Ling hurriedly collected her energy and reported back seriously.
Envoy Lin Jiedu listened carefully, then looked at Zhou Changqing again, and asked about the government affairs of Weishi County.
When Zhou Changqing replied, Xu Ling looked at Lin Jiedushi, thinking about how to curry favor.
He found that although Lin Jiedu still had a childish face, when he listened to Zhou Changqing's report, his eyes were clear and his expression was focused. He was clearly a serious person, and such officials should not be underestimated.
After Zhou Changqing finished answering, Lin Jiedu envoy said: "My lords, let's have some supper, and then accompany me to the banks of the West River to have a look!"
Xu Ling and Zhou Changqing knew that envoy Lin Jiedu was going to patrol overnight without a guard of honor, so they couldn't help but look at each other¡ªafter Xihe town, Xixia Kingdom is the country of Xixia, and envoy Lin Jiedu has a high status. Wouldn't it be too dangerous?
Before the two of them could think of a tactful dissuasion, a man in brocade clothes rushed out from behind the screen, and said repeatedly: "Marshal, you can't help it! You forgot your majesty's explanation!"
Xu Ling found that the man in brocade clothes had a slightly hoarse voice, and it was hard to distinguish between male and female. Under the halo of the pearl, his face was snow-white and crystal clear, with delicate features. Shocked¡ªHis Majesty actually dotes on envoy Lin Jiedu so much, and let the noble eunuch serve him personally!
He immediately remembered that His Majesty has no children so far, and he was afraid that he would choose an heir from among the nephews
Thinking of this, Xu Ling's heart thumped very fast - it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get close to the future heir to the throne!
He invisibly took a deep breath: Why don't you take a closer look, if Lin Jiedu is really favored, you can take refuge directly
Ten years in the officialdom, Xu Ling has long lost the sharpness and sharpness of the young general who was the son of a famous general. If he can be promoted step by step, he can help him realize his ambitions, even if he kneels down and recognizes Lin Jiedu as his godfather. of!
Xu Ling had a deep mind, understood in his heart but remained calm, standing there respectfully, looking for an opportunity to express himself.
The Lin Jiedu envoy seemed to be used to this kind of scene, quietly waited for the high-level eunuch to finish speaking, and lightly ordered: "Nanyun, Beifeng, drag Steward Zhang in."
Immediately, two brocade-clothed servants came out and dragged the high-ranking eunuch behind the screen.
Zhou Changqing was stunned and looked at Xu Ling secretly. Seeing that he lowered his eyebrows and looked down, as if he didn't see him, he hurriedly lowered his head, thinking: Ah Ling is still calm enough!
Lin Jiedu made the cloud light and the wind light, leaned back on the yellow rosewood chair, and said with a smile: "The family is presumptuous, and the two adults laughed!"
Xu Ling and Zhou Changqing hurriedly got up and bowed respectfully, showing some humility.
In the early hours of the morning, Xu Ling and Zhou Changqing rode horses and led Lin Jiedushi, who was in micro-clothes, to the direction of Xihe Town.
Lin Jiedu envoy wore a black cloak and was surrounded by six guards on horseback, and his riding skills were quite good.
Seeing Xu Ling, he hurried to catch up.
Xu Ling and his party rushed to the West River and walked slowly along the river bank.
Lin Jiedu still didn't talk much, but his eyes were extremely poisonous, and he could see the problem at a glance, and every time he asked, he asked just right.
Xu Ling spent ten years in Weishi County, and he set up the border defense of Weishi County by himself, so he was not stage-frightened, and reported one by one, and took the opportunity to talk about his plan: " Commander-in-Chief, I think that to do a good job in border defense, we should make full use of canals and land routes, repair canal piers and post stations in the counties on the west bank of Ganzhou, build a series of military fortresses on the west bank, station troops and store food, and maintain sufficient military presence. Numerous military fortresses rely on each other and help each other with the help of beacon fires. In addition, the counties on the West River Bank of Ganzhou re-registered their household registrations. During the slack period, men aged 14 to 45 were organized to conduct military training in case the Xixia army went south. Responding to the enemy as a reserve soldier"
Although Lin Jiedu envoy still?? doesn't care either.
A Bao soon came back with three bamboo baskets.
He wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, and gave the remaining pieces of silver to Yuzhi: "Sister, there is one cent and three cents left!"
Yuzhi took the money, put it back into the money box, and together with Abao spread oil paper in three bamboo baskets, then put the one hundred catties of stewed meat that Han Xing ordered into two bamboo baskets, and put the guarded The ten bucket chickens ordered by the housewife were put into another bamboo basket, wrapped tightly with oiled paper, and then covered with a lid.
After finishing all this work, Yuzhi wrapped another pack of braised pork and braised pork ribs in oiled paper, and tied them tightly with paper rope.
As soon as she and Abao finished their work, Han Xing drove over in a carriage.
Yuzhi thanked Han Xing in advance: "Brother Han Xing, thanks to you yesterday, I actually invited the Lord Guard!!"
Han Xing smiled: "It's nothing, don't forget to promise our adults bucket chicken, roast chicken, sauce chicken and spicy chicken!"
Yuzhi smiled and said: "Don't worry, tomorrow I will honor my lord with a spicy chicken, Brother Hanxing, come and get it at noon tomorrow!"
Master Xu and Han Xing helped her a lot, so she would naturally thank her. In addition, she would use this to climb up to Master Xu so that she could ask Master Xu to check the residence newspaper to find out about Ah Qin's situation.
Han Xing agreed, and ordered the soldiers who followed him to carry the baskets onto the carriage.
After everything was ready, he came to pay the bill and gave Yuzhi the silver that should be paid.
Yuzhi took the money, and hurriedly gave the bag of stewed meat and pork ribs to Han Xing: "Brother Han Xing, I'll serve you wine!"
Han Xing raised his eyebrows: "Thank you!"
He jumped into the carriage: "But I don't have time to drink today!"
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly drove the carriage and left.
Seeing that it was noon, and Wang and Yuzhi were discussing what to have for lunch, they saw a dense sound of horseshoes approaching from a distance, and then saw two teams of cavalry in blue armor galloping along the road¡ªit turned out to be Clear and preaching cavalry!
Yuzhi couldn't help frowning: What kind of big shot is coming to Xihe Town, who wants to be guarded by Tsing Yiwei? (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
