Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 195 Hot Spring Night Guest

  Fei Qian and his party walked west along the north bank of the Yellow River.

   This day has reached the vicinity of Wen County. The reason why Wen County is called Wen is because there are hot springs in Wen County, which flow at a normal temperature all the year round, and the people are happy with virtue and the people benefit from irrigation.

  For Fei Qian and his party, it was a gift from heaven to have such a hot spring in the mountains in the early spring.

  Huang Zhong was near the hot spring, chose a relatively sheltered mountain, and set up camp. Because this time there were only more than 100 private soldiers of Fei Qian's own, so the camp was no longer as strict as before. Instead, it was built according to the mountain as much as possible, trying to be concealed, so that it would not be easy to be discovered from a distance.

  After all, the current military strength is not like the nearly thousand people before, so in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, after Fei Qian and Yi Ji separated, they should keep a low profile as much as possible along the way.

In the past, there was Liu Jingzhou's scepter representing his identity. At least no one would cause trouble when encountering any obstacles, but now Fei Qian and his party have no research and cooperation, and no writing. If they meet someone who is unreasonable, they may not even talk No chance.

  This is also the reason why Fei Qian avoided the big counties as much as possible along the way.

  The sun was about to set, thinking of taking a bath in the hot spring at night, even Huang Zhong, who was worried about his son along the way, showed some smiles.

  Although marching is only two characters, it represents dust, Chinese stains, mud and lice...

Fei Qian, Huang Zhong, and the people from the Huang family brought by Huang Cheng are not bad, and they pay more attention to their own hygiene, but the hundred private soldiers are not so concerned about whether there are other creatures on their bodies. settled.

Although personal hygiene has been paid attention to as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the word "Mu" in oracle bone inscriptions means that a person stretches his head into a utensil to wash his hair, which means "washing hair", while the word "bath" means It refers to washing the body, that is, "sprinkling the body".

But that is mostly aimed at high-level people, and ordinary working people, and most of them only bathe at some important time points, such as sacrifices, blessings, and things like Shangsi Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, etc. Take a bath.

   And other times, huh...

  Even Feiqian, since he left Luyang, has not been cleaned properly until now. Now that he has come across such a treasured hot spring place, every pore seems to be itching all over his body...

  After the camp was set up, Fei Qian couldn't wait to go to the mountain with clean clothes to soak in the hot springs.

Soldiers on the mountain have long separated by cloth curtains. The two uppermost small areas surrounded by cloth curtains are reserved for Fei Qian and Huang Zhong, and the one further down is for Huang Cheng and Huang's family. Bosses, as for those ordinary private soldiers, it is already a luxury to have an area to take a hot bath, so what privacy can they care about?

  Fei dived into the small compartment surrounded by a cloth curtain, and submerged his whole body in the hot spring, almost sighing in relief. At this time, if you add a small red stove and warm a pot of old rice wine, it will be a fairy-level enjoyment...

  However, even now, Fei Qian already felt that the exhaustion accumulated all over his body during this period of time seemed to be gradually dissipating from the pores, under the gentle caress of the hot spring.

Fei Qian started to enjoy it first, while Huang Zhong carefully arranged the duty, sentry, etc., and then went to the small compartment of the curtain that belonged to him, and first relieved his son who had been in his arms for a long time. Carefully put away the records to ensure that they will not be soaked in water before soaking in the hot spring.

   "Han Sheng, thanks to your help on this journey... Mengjin is not far to the west from here, and Luoyang is about a day's journey west after crossing Mengjin..."

Perhaps it was because of the hot spring, and it seemed that he had put down the record of his son's illness in his arms. Huang Zhong's voice sounded more relaxed and casual, "Don't say that, Ziyuan, if it wasn't for your method, I Maybe still helpless worries at home..."

Regarding this matter, although Huang Zhong was in a better mood, he obviously didn't want to talk about it, so he changed the subject and said, "...By the way, Ziyuan, a few days ago you asked Yijibo to move forward quickly. Will there be any danger?"

   "Well... If this edict is already clear, it will be bad for me. At this critical moment, no one will accept it? If Uncle Ji is not allowed to leave early, in case he is mistaken for the passenger car..."

When Fei Qian said this, another question came to his mind - that day Cao Cao also intentionally asked Fei Qian to go north with the imperial mission. Could it be said that Cao Cao was smart enough not to understand Yuan Shao's extreme reluctance to accept what at this point in time, The emperor's edict from Luoyang City?

  Furthermore, according to Feiqian's guess, Yuan Shao will probably instruct his personnel to intercept these envoys from Luoyang, and what's more, he will even find some excuses like yellow scarf bandits...

  The edict coming down from this node is either a strike or release of power, so such an edict is obviously unacceptable, otherwise, wouldn’t Yuan Shao’s own inheritance in Ye County become a joke?

  However, even Feiqian can think of the problem, but Cao Cao can't?

   This is obviously somewhat unlikely.

  So what was Cao Cha thinking at the time?

   Knowing that Fei Qian would go with the mission would be more risky than going alone, but still suggested to go north with the mission, the meaning of which is a bit muttering.

   Just when Fei Qian was thinking about what Cao Cao was thinking at that time, he didn’t realize that what he said just now had a great impact on Huang Zhong’s thinking mode...

  Huang Zhong, like most people in the Han Dynasty, has always believed that the emperor is extremely holy and the gentry is superior.

  Emperor Needless to say, Liu has become a representative of the gods in heaven and earth through continuous myths for hundreds of years.

  The gentry, under the wise leadership of the emperor, managed the Quartet, pleaded for the emperor's herdsmen and the people. As a gentry who has always advertised itself as knowledgeable and reasonable, even if the emperor's edict is unwilling to accept it, it must be followed first, and then find a way to explain it. It is only reasonable to make a statement.

  How can it be that the edicts that are willing to accept are accepted, and the orders that are not willing to be accepted are not accepted, and even the envoys of the imperial court are attacked? !

   In this way, isn't it just like a bandit who occupies the mountain as king? How can such a noble family look like the crown family that is number one in the world?

  Huang Zhong fell silent...

   At this moment, the sentry soldiers sent a message, and a soldier came up to report that he had caught three peeping people, and they were holding weapons!

  At this time, the sky is getting late, and those who are still out for activities at this time, if there is no official banner, then it means that they are either thieves or bandits, and most of them are lawbreakers.

  Where is this unexpected guest?

   Mr. Chen wrote "Three Kingdoms". Normally speaking, the order of biographies is very important, such as Emperor Ji and Concubine Biography are consecutive.

   The order of the "Book of Wei" is Emperor Wu Ji, Emperor Wen Ji, Ming Emperor Ji, Three Shao Emperor Ji, and then the Concubine Biography;

   The same is true for "Book of Shu", first there are biographies of Liu Ermu, first the biography of the master, then the biography of the master, and then the biography of the second master concubine.

   However, the order of the "Book of Wu" is very different. First, there are the biography of Sun Polu, the biography of Wu, and the biography of the three heirs.

   It's strange.
