emperor cold concubine

Chapter 32
Langzhou is located in the far west of Canghao, surrounded by mountains on two sides and water on one side, and borders Guizhou, which is famous for raising war horses.

In the second year of Emperor Ming, the world was unstable, the world was full of chaos, and disasters fell from the sky. The continuous torrential rain caused the rivers to burst their embankments, the crops in Langzhou were destroyed, there was no harvest, and the people were displaced.

The emperor first came to Dabao, cared for the people, and although the national treasury was not abundant, he still issued an order to allocate more than one million taels of silver. Unfortunately, there were too many corrupt officials, and they were deducted layer by layer. When they were sent to Langzhou, there was not much left. .Hou Suyan of Langzhou couldn't bear the hunger of the people, so he exchanged a piece of Hetian jade passed down from generation to generation with the emperor of Qianguo for [-] shi of grain, which solved the urgent need.The people of Langzhou thought that the imperial court was ruthless and stupid, and they ignored them, but Su Yan treated them with great kindness and righteousness. From then on, they treated the Su family like gods, and they no longer had the imperial court in their eyes.

In the next few years, Su Yan specialized in water control, and ordered people to lead the people to plant tea on the mountain. The famous tea was easy to sell, especially the cloud and mist in Lingshan Mountain, which was almost in short supply. getting richer.

In the ninth year of Emperor Ming, at the suggestion of his son Su Che, he recruited troops and built a powerful defense army. Moreover, Langzhou was rich in iron ore resources, and the forged weapons were also excellent. At that time, Su Che, who was only 14 years old, personally trained ten Thousands of elite soldiers in iron armor, the people of Langzhou call it the Su Family Iron Army.

In April of the 11th year of Emperor Ming, border bandits were rampant. Thousands of people from the frightening Sirius Gang entered Langzhou City late at night, robbed jewelry shops, tea shops, and pawn shops, and killed dozens of shopkeepers who had no iron. Su Che was furious.In the early morning of the second day, all 480 members of the Sirius Gang, including the leader who killed Sirius, were found dead outside the city gate, with sharp weapons piercing through their bodies.

The Western Regions coveted the Langzhou iron mine and wanted to buy it at a low price, but Su Che refused, so he became angry. 15 soldiers and horses took the way to Qianguo, intending to come to the city and conquer it violently, but they were ambushed in the Grand Canyon of the Wuming Mountain outside the city of Langzhou. The army was annihilated, and no one dared to commit another crime for more than ten years.

Although he is in the gap between various countries, Su Che fearlessly fears threats from various forces, leading an army of [-] Su family to take advantage of the convenient terrain, proudly guarding the prosperous and affluent Langzhou City, as impregnable as gold.

Also because of the two battles, the name of Su Che in Langzhou resounded throughout the world, and almost everyone knew it.

On one side, enjoy peace, don't hear about the court, don't like war, but absolutely inviolable, this is the iron rule that Su Che implements.

"He's a person with personality..." A lazy and soft female voice came out with a smile, and there was a very faint hint of appreciation in the voice.

A melodious male voice answered the words lightly, with a slight smile in his words: "I don't know who it is, but a few days ago, it said that an unknown person is not worthy of my girl's acquaintance."

The setting sun is like fire, dyeing half of the sky red, and another day is about to pass.

On the official road leading to Wutong Town at the junction with Langzhou, a large carriage with a very simple appearance slowly approached. Three black horses carried two young men behind the carriage. One of them was wearing a crescent white brocade suit, and his face was as elegant as jade. , the smile is as warm as the spring breeze, making people feel good about it at a glance, and put down their guards.The other man was dressed in plain Tsing Yi. His face was much inferior to that of the man in white, but he was also resolute and handsome. He was tall and straight, with a calm expression and a serious expression.There is also a horse with no one on its back, but it seems to be extremely human. Although it is unmanned, it obediently follows the carriage. The three black horses are almost exactly the same in size and color at first glance.

There is only one mountain between Wutong Town and Langzhou, and Langzhou is on the border with Qianguo, and Qianguo is most famous for its war horses.

Therefore, there are many well-informed people who understand horses in Wutong Town. At a glance, they can tell that the three horses are extraordinary, and their owners must also be extraordinary.

Due to its proximity to Langzhou, Wutong Town was influenced by its unique ethos, disregarding the laws of the country and kings, and wanted to imitate Su Che's maverick style. Unfortunately, there is no leader as talented as Su Che, and there are no officials. Su Che's ingenuity and strategy are not as strict as Su Che's iron rules. On the contrary, it is nondescript, and it has become a gathering place of three religions and nine streams. It is in chaos, murder, brawl, rape and robbery are really common.

The most famous inn in the town is called Changting, named after the owner of the inn, Xie Changting.

Speaking of Xie Changting, he is also a legendary figure.This person is quite young, about the same age as Su Che in Langzhou. Ten years ago, he was just a boy, young and energetic, and he came to this chaotic town single-handedly and opened such a huge inn. There are all kinds of people from the Jianghu, the imperial court, the underworld, the white way, weak scholars, martial arts masters, common people, prefectural officials, and all kinds of people, and he treats them equally.He does not flatter the powerful, does not despise the lowly, does not fear the strong, and does not disdain the weak.

Such a young man who doesn't know how to behave at all, in such a chaotic place, it should be difficult to get along. After all, there are too many people who like to find fault. I think you are too arrogant and need to be cleaned up. Seeing that your business is booming, the government wants to take a piece of the pie, so why not? See you in the lobby.

But after all these years, not only did the young man get along, but he also made a splash and flourished.No matter if it's gangsters, white officials, or bullies, those who find fault, those who provoke trouble, or those who bully others, after coming here once, for no reason, they will never dare to appear in the inn again for a second time.

The reason, no one knows.

The carriage stopped slowly at the entrance of the inn. Immediately, two young men dismounted first and handed over the horses to the inn clerk who came to greet them and lead them down to take care of them. The man in plain clothes who was in charge of driving the car also jumped out of the car, and said to the closed car curtain: "Master, we are here." Then he waited respectfully aside, while the gentle gentleman in crescent white brocade clothes walked slowly into the inn.

"Guest, do you want to stay at the top or stay at the inn?" The sharp-eyed waiter at the inn saw the handsome man in white who came in, exuding a noble and airy demeanor from all over his body. Although he still smiled politely, his tone was Can't help showing respect.

Inside and outside the house, many people's curious eyes drifted over vaguely, wondering what kind of person was in the carriage, worthy of the personal service of the three handsome young masters.

Hidden in the eyes of many people, a sinister and gloomy gaze seemed to drift over, and it faintly fell on the young man in Yueya Bai Jinyi.

Young Master Jin Yi is Yue Xiao, looking at the courteous young man in front of him, smiling slightly, his tone is gentle like a spring breeze: "Brother, is the owner of Room No. 16 in Tianzi here?"

As soon as the voice fell, someone beside him couldn't wait to interject: "Young master, is this your first time in Wutong Town? The Tianzihao room in Changting Inn only has No. 15 but not No. 16. Are you asking the wrong question?"

Yue Xiao looked at the person who spoke, he was a rough man in his 30s, he smiled slightly, not annoyed, and nodded: "Perhaps, this is indeed the first time for me to come here."

The face of the young man changed slightly, the polite smile was still on his face, but a trace of solemnity flashed quickly in his eyes.

With a slight bow, he lowered his eyes to hide the expression in his eyes: "Young master, there is no No. 16 room in Tianzihao in our inn. The guest you mentioned is your friend? Do you need me to find out for you?"

Yue Xiao smiled warmly: "No need, brother, please arrange four clean guest rooms for us."

The Changting Inn has been in business for more than ten years, and everyone knows that the inn has fifteen Tianzizi rooms, sixteen Dizizizi rooms, and sixteen ordinary rooms.And everyone also knows that Tianzi No. 16 room is never open to the public, even if a wealthy merchant or a person with a high status arrives here, he can only live in Tianzi No. [-] room.Similarly, no one knows that Tianzihao actually has room No. [-], but the location is hidden, and the boss Xie Changting has been living alone, and outsiders have no way of knowing.

"Well, it's almost here..." A slightly tired and lazy voice sounded in the carriage, so charming that people who were far away couldn't hear it, but the corners of the eyes of the two people near the carriage twitched .

Another male voice with a smile sounded: "What, are you bored?"

In the carriage, on the soft couch, Su Mo was wearing a simple white close-fitting underwear, curled up lazily and reclined on top of it, her shoulder-length hair spread out and slid down her shoulders, revealing a slender and beautiful white neck, her starry eyes narrowed slightly, The expression is charming, like a lazy cat with its sharp claws retracted, inadvertently exuding infinite enchanting charm.

Cang Hao's eyes burst into a smile, revealing a hint of imperceptible tenderness. The longer he gets along with this woman, the more he can't help but be attracted to her.What is special about her is that she shows all kinds of charms anytime and anywhere, whether cold, or indifferent, or gentle, or evil, or lazy. People who are not familiar with her will never be able to tell which one That's her true nature.

"It's boring, not to mention. It's really interesting to hear you explain the history of Langzhou with your melodious and magnetic voice along the way. However, no matter how comfortable this carriage is, it's really depressing to stay in it for nine consecutive days. .”

She got up lazily, put on a tight black leather jacket and trousers under Mei Yun's service, raised her eyebrows, sat on the couch and looked sideways at Cang Hao who was leaning on a corner of the soft couch.

Cang Hao is obviously not a master who likes to abuse himself and his subordinates.

The horse that is on the road is the fastest horse, and the road under its feet is the smoothest road.

During the day, he traveled at high speed, traveling [-] miles a day, recharging his energy at night, eating the most exquisite meals, and living in the best bedroom. It seemed that there was no sense of tension at all, but it only took nine days. , and arrived at Wutong County, which borders Langzhou.

After walking all the way, I can see Cang Hao's strength thoroughly. Every time I go to a place, the inn and restaurant that hit the peak at noon must belong to the property of Jiyue Villa. , the servants who served were in groups of men and women, and the scene was astonishingly large. Fortunately, Su Mo had seen too much of the world in the 21st century, otherwise he didn't know how to react.
