Chapter 295

The man kowtowed again and again,
"The small one is really not an internal response, the small one just wants to make a living, just make a living!"

Mou Biao just sneered, and Xiao Zhu beside him showed an unbearable face, then Liu Dong's family observed his words and immediately opened his mouth and said,

"I don't think this guy looks like an insider, why don't we just keep him!"

Mou Biao frowned and glanced at Xiao Zhu when he heard the words, but Xiao Zhu nodded repeatedly. Mou Biao glanced at the group of his own people behind him. Everyone's faces were ugly, but no one spoke. Liu Dong's family only wanted to please their master. , so he said to the man himself,

"Left and right our caravan also needs to hire people, you just follow us, the wages will be paid according to them..."

The man was overjoyed when he heard the words, and kowtowed to Dong Liu's house again and again,
"Thank you, my master! Thank you, my master!"

Liu Dongjia smiled and nodded, let him sit in the carriage with the fellows beside him, followed the caravan and walked forward, and after walking for two days, we arrived at Yongning. Located at the throat of the capital, Juyongguan and the imperial mausoleum, it is a heavy military town that prevents the Tatars from going south. Therefore, although the city is not well-known, it is built high and deep, and it is very strong.
When this caravan entered the city, the guarded city gate carefully inspected the documents for customs clearance, and charged a large amount of entry fee before letting them in. Zhu Houzhao sat on the carriage and watched the people coming from the street. The crowd coming and going couldn't help smiling and said to Mou Biao,

"When I went out, I also carefully checked the files of each city. This important town in the capital has [-] troops and nearly [-] servants. I only thought that when I entered this city, I would be full of soldiers, but I didn't expect there to be so many people... ..."

In his previous life, Mou Biao was stationed as a guard in Miyun, but he also came to Yongning. Now that he revisits his "old place", his mood is also very complicated. Thinking of his wish to kill all the Tatars in his previous life, he doesn't know if he can do so in this life. Is it possible?

This room was in the middle of melancholy, but he didn't hear Xiao Zhu's words. Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhu Houzhao nudged him with his elbow, and Mou Biao came back to his senses.
"what?"

Zhu Houzhao said again,
"I mean, there are not many people in this city, and all industries are thriving, not as good as I imagined Xiao Suo..."

Mou Biao laughed and said,

"Well... I heard from my father that we have lived in a prosperous place in the capital for a long time, and we only treat it as a border city where there are constant wars and the people's lives are hard. It must be that all industries are in depression, but I don't know that the more war-torn this place is, the more peaceful the people are. Peace, so I cherish the hard-won peace very much. When there is no war, I try my best to accumulate family property, have children, and work hard to spread the leaves..."

This is not what Mou Bin said today, but what Mou Bin said to him in his previous life when he wanted to travel around to gain knowledge,
"The people in the border towns are like weeds. Although they are weak, they are very tenacious. As long as they are given a little land and grace, they will be full of vitality. As long as the court can give them ten or twenty years of peace, they will surely have a prosperous life. The Nine Borders Town..."

It's a pity that the Daqing court was strong outside and middle-ranked, and foreigners invaded every year. It was exhausting to resist foreign enemies, let alone go out of the pass and sweep the incoming enemies. As a result, there were wars on the border every year. Sometimes the enemy broke through the pass and entered, burning, killing and looting , The people are miserable!

Zhu Houzhao's expression was sad when he heard it.
"Since the change of Tumu Fortress, Daqing's national power has turned from prosperity to decline, and it has been in the hands of the father. Although it is said that it is hard work and hard work, it is a pity that the mountains and rivers have a sense of decline..."

Mou Biao's brows twitched when he heard that, the prince dared to say such decadent words, but he himself, a courtier, did not dare to answer them!
Just thinking about how to make a break, Zhu Houzhao let out a long sigh, reached out and patted Mou Biao on the shoulder and said,

"Xiao Lin, I lived in the temple for a long time and didn't know the sufferings of the people, so I wanted to go out and have a look. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Now I see this world where bandits and bandits are rampant and the people are hard, so I know the burden on the shoulders of a king. ..."

He paused and looked eagerly at Mou Biao and asked,

"Xiao Lin, I want to follow the great example of Taizu and work hard for the country and the people, but I don't know if you are willing to help me?"

Mou Biao was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, he knew that the crown prince had ambitions, but this was the first time he heard him say it outright, he was terrified inside, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, he nodded in agreement,

"The crown prince has great ambitions, and having a prince like this is a blessing to the common people. I think when he ascends the throne, there will be a time when the government and the people will take on a new look!"

Zhu Houzhao sighed again when he heard the words,

"I just don't know when this day will come!"

Yan Bi stared at Mou Biao with burning eyes. Mou Biao's heart trembled and he pretended to look at the scenery on the street. He didn't dare to look at him. He was thinking hard about how to deal with it. When the carriage under him shook, it stopped. Everyone looked up and looked ahead, but it turned out that there was a convoy approaching. Although the streets in this city are wide, there are a lot of people coming and going, and the people on the border are tough and rough, and they rarely show courtesy, so the two cars meet each other. At the wrong time, you need to carefully avoid the crowd, so the lead guy simply let the lead car park in a wide area, and then move forward after the other party passes by.

So this group of people watched the other party's convoy pass by, only to see that four or five large cars were hung with pink curtains, and there was a fragrant breeze inside, and there were faint voices of women's coquettish laughter and voices. , Mou Biao had seen this kind of convoy, and he understood it, and said with a slight smile,
"It's just in time!"

It happened to interrupt the conversation between him and the crown prince. The crown prince's words were really difficult to answer. If he wanted to push him further, he would be hard to deal with if he was really cornered!
He is not the brat who knows how to be strong-blooded and only knows how to act on his will. If he knows that the situation in the court changes, he will end up dead and ruined at every turn. Today's Mou Biao has no way to respond to this, and he is not qualified to respond. Now the Mou family The head of the family is his own father!

But he is so strange!

This son wants to take Lao Tzu down and take the position himself, not to mention placing it in the royal family, even if it is placed in the homes of ordinary people, it is a big treasonous crime. After all, he is the eldest son from the main palace. Daqing has always been the eldest son of the first son. As long as he has no major mistakes and can be an honest prince in a safe and sound manner, after the death of the emperor, there is a [-]% chance of being a great treasure. His, I don't know why he is in such a hurry!

For the first time up to now, Mou Biao has become suspicious of the prince's urgency,

"Why is the prince like this?"

While he was thinking about it in his mind, he saw that when the carriage in front of him passed by, someone lifted the curtain and looked out, and the hatchback saw a very unique face. He said it was unique because this face was different from The woman from the Central Plains has a gentle face profile, but with raised cheekbones, a straight nose, a clear jaw line, thin and red lips, black hair and black eyes, but there is a hint of brown in the black eyes, this girl is not born Extremely beautiful, but Gu Pan has a very special wild charm. Not only is he not shy when he sees the man, but he looks boldly at him. There is a hint of provocation in his eyes, which makes the man want to conquer when he sees it !
Such women are not uncommon in border towns. Mou Biao has seen more beautiful women in his previous life, but this kind of wild woman has never been liked by him. The woman's eyes lit up when she glanced at Mou Biao, her red lips slightly parted and she smiled at him, but she turned her head away without thinking of him, and the woman's eyes slipped to Xiao Zhu, looked him up and down, and hid her face at him. Mouth smile.

According to Zhu Houzhao's background, he has seen quite a few beauties, and it's just a novelty to look at such a woman, so it's inevitable to take a second look, but he doesn't have the intention to see the beauty, and when he sees the woman smiling at him, he politely nods in return. As soon as he returned the salute, there was a burst of laughter in the carriage, and when the carriage passed by, Xiao Zhu asked,

"The one in this car... is a brothel girl?"

Mu Biao nodded,

"There are more men than women in the border towns. There are many brothels from the south who come to do business. Most of them travel between cities in such carts, doing business back and forth..."

Xiao Zhu nodded, glanced at the staggered convoy and asked,
"That woman looks like a foreigner..."

Mu Biao nodded,

"Most of them were born of people from the Central Plains and other races. It looks like they have some Tatar blood..."

While the two were chatting, the team moved on again until they reached an inn with a large area. All are lined up along the corner of the wall. People can't rest first, but they have to serve the animals that work first.

Mou Biao and Xiao Zhu came all the way, and now they are very familiar with doing these things. Together they took off the bridle, yelled and led the horse into the stable, and then turned to fetch water from the well in the yard. While feeding the horses, he took a brush to scrub the dust off the horses.

There are so many people in this caravan, and the combined effort of all of them is no more than a cup of tea, so they waited on the horses, and assigned three people to guard the goods, and then they entered the lobby of the inn.

At this time, the lobby of the inn was already full of people, and with a glance, Mou Biao could see how many groups were divided into groups in the hall, each eating around the table, ignoring each other, and the largest group was their own , took up six tables, and the food had already been placed on them. Everyone was out and could not eat alcohol. They were all strong and strong adult men, and all of them were big-bellied men, so there were waist-high men beside each table. The rice bucket is full of brown rice.

Everyone was not polite when they entered, they took the spoons on the table, and served bowls of rice. After a while, each person took a bowl without sitting down, and just stretched their chopsticks around the table to pick up vegetables. Not enough to eat, Mou Biao and Zhu Houzhao mixed in the crowd, and they were like everyone else. They carried chopsticks like flying, ate meat and grilled rice, had messy beards, and looked dusty all over. Believe it or not, one of these two is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is aloof and gentle as jade, and the other is Young Master Mou Fu, who is domineering and domineering in fresh clothes in the capital. The two of them at this time are no different from these men who run around the rivers and lakes. !
