One Step to The End

The surrounding areas of Kyoto are all rich towns. Wherever the envoys go, they are received by local officials. They eat a lot of fish and meat for more than ten days. It is almost the same as the inspection in the countryside. However, the quality of life changes immediately after entering the mountainous area. Descending straight down, the cannons all over the mountains could not hit a single person.

"Don't camp by the water. Dig drainage ditches around the camp. It might rain tonight..."

Zhao Guanren patrolled the valley camp with his hands behind his back. The camp was facing the stream and the mountains on the other. The caravan and logistics were all unloading pine mules and horses. The dragoons had already set up their camps at the mountain pass, and the clear and secret guards were all released. .

"All over a hundred households gather!"

Zhao Guanren walked into the Dragoon camp and convened a brief meeting with the generals. At this time, the sky was getting dark. He took the oil lamp and walked to the mountain pass. Only a few civilian teams were hiding in the leeward place, in groups of three or five. Roast the fire and eat the dry food.

"Everyone, where are you going..."

Zhao Guanren walked over with a few guards. These people have been following them. If there are officers and soldiers to clear the way, you don’t have to worry about bandits and bandits. You don’t have to be afraid of stepping on wolves, tigers and leopards, but today there is a small team, more than a dozen. The man drove two mule carts.

"I have seen several uncle officials..."

A dozen people quickly got up and saluted. Zhao Guanren didn't wait for them to speak. He stepped forward and opened the curtain of a mule car with a saber. Hearing an exclamation from inside, an older girl hugged a half-size boy quickly. , Looked at him apprehensively.

"Are you mother and child or sister and brother, where are you going..."

Zhao Guanren raised the oil lamp to illuminate, but the eldest girl hid behind the boy. The teenage bear boy opened his arms and said vigilantly: "Uncle Jun! This is in my family. I went to Shahuzhou to save my parents. Years, now I am going back to my hometown in Yuzhou!"

"Does your kid have thirteen? Can you carry your daughter-in-law's thigh..."

Zhao Guanren looked at him with a smile, and the childish bear boy said bullishly: "Let's look down on people, 14-year-old elders, daughter-in-law, tell him, Master, I'm not good, can I let you have a baby?"

"Yes! Husband and husband are great..."

The eldest girl shrank timidly behind him, who knew that another beautiful woman came down from the car behind, led the maid to walk over and handed over two slings of money, and smiled: "You military masters are fortunate. This is my son and daughter-in-law. I hope you all take care of me!"

"Oh~ the eldest sister has a pretty face, it's rare to see the wilderness..."

Zhao Guanren used a knife to fend off the beautiful woman’s money. The beautiful woman looked like she was in her early thirties. She was dressed in a plain black cloth. She was protruding and warped, with fine skin and tender flesh. The temperament and appearance were both excellent. It's the wife of a big family.

"Hehe~ Xie Junye praised, this is the guide of the slave family..."

The beautiful woman graciously took out the paperwork from her sleeve. Zhao Guanren opened it and looked at it and said, "Diao Meifeng! Well maintained, mother of three children, where is the Bell and Drum Tower in Zhoucheng County? "

"Thank you Junye, huh? Bell and Drum Tower..."

Diao Meifeng let him say it for a moment, blinked and perplexed: "The slave family was born and raised in Zhoucheng County, but I have never heard of a bell and drum tower. However, there is one Yinyang Tower, which is on Xifang Street. The county office!"

"Let's leave early, don't fall behind..."

Zhao Guanren handed her the papers and left. Diao Meifeng thanked him again and again, but after Zhao Guanren walked back to the camp, he called a cavalryman and asked, "I remember your hometown is in Zhoucheng County. Which street is Yinyang Tower? superior?"

"Xifang Street! Not far from the county government..."

The cavalry replied with his fists respectfully, and Zhao Guanren frowned at the guard: "Let the sentry stare more at that Diao Meifeng, I can't tell what's wrong, anyway, her eyes have a sense of vicissitudes, unlike the ladies from a small place!"

"Yes!"

The guards clasped their fists to inform the sentry. Zhao Guanren walked to the envoy camp. The officials changed into casual clothes for the whole day. They sat in twos and threes waiting for the meal. The county owners surrounded a small fenced courtyard with two large leather roofs. account.

"These eldest ladies have to be served by a line of people to wash their ass..."

Zhao Guanren shook his head irritably. There were more than a dozen **** ladies in line outside the big tent, each holding a special washing tool in his hand. Don’t look at Yongning’s carefree look like a crazy girl. Among the three sisters, she is the most particular. The foot wash must be soaked with petals.

"Little Horn! Come and eat game, just beat two pheasants..."

Jia Bujia walked hurriedly with his hunting bow on his back, Zhao Guanren waved his hand and said, "I have too much oil in my stomach. Take some vegetarian shaves. You can take it to the nurses’ sisters to make up. They see you all now. No way!"

"Ha~ I, Yushu Linfeng Jia Baoyu, is a man who has lost his reputation..."

Jia Bufei turned around, this great master who has been "trapped by love" all his life, after he unloaded his psychological burden, he became sorrowless. He wandered around the women all day, constantly polishing his old driver's level, and determined to do it. A romantic but not indecent son brother.

"It's done, I'm coming in..."

Zhao Guanren opened the large leather tent and walked in. The large tent was separated by a screen. He just watched Princess Yongning walk out from behind the screen with his trousers and waved his hand and said, "You all go out. You will have hot pot for dinner. Come in now!"

"More vegetarian, less meat!"

Zhao Guanren told him to sit at the table, and Yongning smirked on his back: "I am washing the fragrance, I will drive the maid into the car to sleep later, you sneak in from behind, or you can drive the person away. , I'll go drill your bed!"

"You are so much like a female ghost, and the shadows stay in the shadows every night..."

Zhao Guanren took a cigarette in angrily, Yongning picked up the oil lamp to help him light it, followed by a bite on his neck, and said with a smirk: "I am a ghost who kills you. You can't leave if you don't feed me tonight. , Save your food to support your Aunt Luo!"

"Yongning! How old are you, why are you still messing around with the emperor..."

The two princesses walked in hand in hand. The sisters were all living outside the palace. They really thought that Zhao Guanren was their uncle, but Yongning hugged Zhao Guanren's neck again and said with a smile: "You see how handsome our uncle is. Yeah, do you want to kiss a few?"

"You're not young, you should know something..."

The eldest sister Yongwei's face blushed. The younger Yongping couldn't understand men and women. She lay down on the table and talked to Zhao Guanren about poems. Yongwei also regarded him as a great talent, and a series of classical Chinese essays stunned him. I don’t understand at all!

"You are both very talented, come here! Hurry up and eat hot pot..."

Zhao Guanren hurriedly got up and changed the subject. The three princesses had dinner, and no one in the team was qualified to be at the same table. In order to facilitate flirting and scolding, Yongning drove the maids out after the meal. Only four of them eat hot pot.

"Just looking at you, I'm sure forever, when the carriage was slow, and only enough to love one person in my life..."

Yongning unscrupulously sang love songs, and her little feet pushed on embroidered shoes and stretched out from under the table to hook Zhao Guanren’s legs, but Yongping wrinkled his nose and said: "Uncle Emperor, you are so partial. I only teach my sister these nice songs. Don't teach us either!"

"Teach! I will give you a song when I look back..."

Zhao Guanren got up to pick up vegetables for their three sisters. Yongning's feet just moved away and stretched back. He jerked westward on his calf. Zhao Guanren simply picked up her tripod on his lap, grabbed the hot pot in one hand, and played with her in the other. Little feet.

"Um?"

Zhao Guanren felt that something was wrong. When did Yongning put his shoes on, when he looked down in surprise, Yongning had already raised Erlang's legs, and the little feet on his legs belonged to Yongwei. Wei's face was flushed long ago.

‘Nima! I touched the wrong person...’

Zhao Guanren let go of his hand with embarrassment, Yong Wei almost bit his red lips in shame, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, but he thought about it and felt that something was wrong, if it wasn't for Yong Wei deliberately , How can he stretch his feet on his legs?

"You eat slowly, I'll go out to patrol..."

Zhao Guanren ate hastily and got up and went out. He felt that Yongwei might have seen it through, so he deliberately hinted at him under the table to let him, the shameless emperor, converge a little. As a result, he grabbed his foot and made a big fuss. Red face.

Many bonfires have been lit in the camp, and densely packed tents cover the entire valley. People who don’t have tents can surround themselves with goods, put up a shed, and sleep.

"Old Song! What are you doing..."

Zhao Guanren walked to the depths of the camp suspiciously, only to see a few envoys squatting on the ground to guess the boxing, Song Chizhu came over and smiled: "Old Yan is not willing to gamble anymore, let's coax him to change his concubine. He just bought it. The young Yangcheng thin horse, whoever wins, will change with him!"

"Be low-key! It's all soldiers outside..."

Zhao Guanren shook his head irritably and walked away. The army is not allowed to gamble, drink, and carry female relatives, but the envoys are all officials. Changing concubines is also a fashion in Dashun. Moreover, all of them are idle, except for gambling money. In addition to drinking and bragging, every day I change tricks to have fun.

"Oh~ it's really boring, **** fucking..."

Zhao Guanren turned around and walked back again. Nothing will happen unless he goes out of the border. The bandits are unlikely to come to the camp, and it's just half past six, and the news broadcast hasn't started. There are already many people lying down. I'm ready to go to bed next.

"Lord!"

Qiu Ning suddenly chased him from behind, and said in a low voice, "The Lanshuihe Commercial Company has lost four men. They said they went to the stream to fetch water before dark. As a result, no one is seen, and the sentry has not found anyone leaving. You Would you like to go over and take a look?"

"Go! Go and see..."

Zhao Guanren immediately led her to the back, and soon came to the back of the valley. A small stream ran across the back. There were many people shouting in the mountains and forests, and many dragoons were standing by the water.

"His Royal Highness! People disappeared after crossing the stream, leaving no footprints..."

A hundred households came up and said, "Unless they tread water and walk downstream, they may disappear out of thin air, but I also sent someone to see it. The downstream is a shallow pool with nothing in it, and why should it be so good? How about running?"

"Sixth! Who is the missing person? Have you lost money or goods..."

Zhao Guanren called a person in charge of the caravan, and the other party anxiously shook his head and said: "Master! Our own old man, the trip hand brought out by the young lady has walked on this road dozens of times. It is impossible to leave the team without authorization, it must be harmed!"

"There is blood!"

Qiu Ning suddenly exclaimed while pointing at the stream. Zhao Guanren walked to the stream with a lantern and took a look. Sure enough, there were traces of blood flowing down the stream. Upon closer inspection, there were still large broken hair strands. Longqi Hundred Households immediately drew their swords and shouted. Said: "Shanwen Army, follow me!"

"Wait! Zhang Kui, don't move..."

Zhao Guanren looked at the mountains ahead, squinted his eyes and said, "You send two teams of mountain pattern troops to search upstream. Beware of things like tripwires and booby traps. If you encounter an enemy attack, immediately return to defense. No one can attack without my order. , And at the same time strengthen the defense and patrol of the camp!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Kui immediately led the way, and the guys who were looking for someone on the mountain were also called back, but Qiu Ning asked incomprehensibly: "Master! Are you worried that someone will turn the tiger away from the mountain?"

"It's unclear, someone is coming at me..."

Zhao Guanren immediately returned to the Shankou camp and ran to the camp and looked at the civilian team outside. He was suddenly shocked and said, "Where is the person? What about Diao Meifeng, didn't I let you stare at it?"

"His Royal Highness! Keep staring..."

A guard hurriedly said: "The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came in to borrow water, and Minister Qiu just came to inspect, so he sent a few people to go with them, and went to the logistics room to have a cup of tea. The youngest son is still outside!"

"Hurry up and grab that kid, a cup of tea will be his mother's hand..."

Zhao Guanren immediately ran to the logistics camp. In Dashun’s concept of time, a cup of tea lasted fifteen minutes. It would never take so long to carry two buckets of water.

"Hehe~ The response of the prince is so fast..."

A dark laugh suddenly sounded from the side, and a sharp sword pierced out of the tent. The dark red profound energy was like a laser. As Zhao Guanren tilted his head, "Shu" came in front of him.
