Red makeup against the world

Chapter 528 Dormant
Speaking of elder brother, Wu Zhengxiang's face became warmer, "The city is busy at this time, father, you know that."

After a few words, the father and son fell into an awkward silence again.There are really too many taboo topics between the two of them, they can't talk too much, and they can talk too little.Wu Lie wanted to know more about his son, but he didn't know what to say.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Although your marriage was bestowed by the Queen Mother, we still need to worry about the dowry. Is there anything I can do for you in this matter?"

Wu Lie just asked casually, Wu Zhengxiang always hated him meddling in private affairs, he knew it.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zhengxiang thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "Then I will trouble my father. After she waits for her to obey, she must go grand. I will prepare the betrothal gift, and my father will let the prudent steward deliver it. "

Wu Lie was overjoyed that his son was willing to discuss marriage with him, and he hurriedly said: "Father, I understand. Don't worry, our family has not held a wedding for a long time, and it must be very lively. How could it be?" Let you pay the betrothal gift by yourself, leave from the public office, and add some from my private account, so that the entire Xu family will not be able to let it go."

Wu Zhengxiang nodded lightly: "This will trouble my father."

Seeing his son with a more smoky face, Wu Lie realized that the two of them had talked for so long.Touching the short beard under his chin, he thought, maybe this unmarried daughter-in-law would make Wu Zhengxiang's cold face more popular.For this, it is nothing to give up some dowry.

……

As the night deepened, the Hu Family Theater, which had been noisy all day, gradually quieted down.Holding a candle in his hand, Hu Ban walked into Jiang Chen's courtyard.

It was pitch black in the courtyard, and there were no candles.

Hu Bantou knocked lightly on the door and asked, "Yulang, are you feeling better?"

In the past two days, Jiang Chen caught a cold, not to mention singing on stage, he couldn't even get out of bed.Fortunately, the name of the Xianglong class has also come out now, and with the secret care of the Marquis of Jinnan, Jiang Chen is not the only one to count on.

But Jiang Chen was ill, and Bantou Hu was really worried.Not only is he a pillar, but also because of the love that has been with him for so many years.

There were several heart-piercing coughs in the room, followed by Jiang Chen's voice: "Okay, it's much better. It's too late, Ban Hu, let's rest, don't worry about me. Tomorrow, cough, cough...tomorrow again I'm busy."

Hearing that he was coughing like this, Bantou Hu couldn't help worrying: "Yulang, you can't go on like this. I'd better find another doctor for you while the door is unlocked."

Jiang Chen took a breath, and his speech was much smoother this time: "No, I've taken this doctor's medicine, and it's already better than in a hundred days."

Seeing his insistence, Bantou Hu said helplessly: "Then you have a good rest, and I won't come in to disturb you."

"Hu Bantou, walk slowly."

Hearing the footsteps of Hu Bantou leaving slowly, Jiang Chen relaxed his body, fell back on the big pillow, let go of the handkerchief covering his mouth, a pair of cold eyes gleamed coldly in the darkness .

Looking at the blood-stained handkerchief in his hand, he smiled helplessly. It seemed that it was too much forcibly pulling the crossbow with his own strength.

He had faked his illness for the past two days.In order to plan this assassination, he racked his brains and used most of the people in Luoyang City.However, the injury at this time was genuine.

After this battle, he lost five of the few dead soldiers, especially the woman buried in the church workshop, which was the nail he buried with great effort.

I originally wanted to release white mist and mist while performing in front of the imperial court, and assassinate while taking advantage of the chaos.I didn't expect the palace to be so cautious. When performing drum music and dancing, the emperor and empress never appeared.Had to start another program.

It's just that she didn't expect her to be so impatient that she would take the risk of killing Queen Mother Xiao.Even if he succeeds in killing Queen Mother Xiao, so what, it will not help his plan in any way.

In the dark, Jiang Chen rubbed the black jade finger on his thumb, lost in thought.

His layout is correct, and the dead soldiers are also very responsible. He believes that neither the Beiya imperial army nor the shadow guards hiding in the dark will follow the clues to find his trace.

But what's the use? !
Emperor Qinglong was still alive and well, and this alone was enough to offset all his efforts.It also made his backhands useless.He had calculated thousands of times, but he never expected that in the face of the deadly crossbow arrows, a few guards actually blocked them with their flesh and blood!
Just now, he had ordered all his subordinates to lie dormant.Do not do any activity for the next year.

……

In Dizhou, thousands of miles away, a long winding dragon composed of convoys had just turned over a mountain, and was exhausted.The riders escorting the caravan rode their horses back and forth, shouting, "Cheer up, there is still half a mile to go, and we will arrive at the post station. When we reach the ground, everyone can relax as much as possible."

"okay!"

Hearing this, all the porters and grooms also took a break, drank water, stood up from the ground one after another, and continued to move forward with their carts.

Wu Biaotou, who was escorting the chariot, was riding on a horse. Seeing that everyone had gotten up, he rode his horse to the front and walked side by side with shopkeeper Guo.

"Boss, this trip, you have made money and gained fame."

Shopkeeper Guo smiled modestly: "Our Qin's Commercial Firm is not far away, and the summer grain has just been collected, so we just follow the trend."

"I heard that you can't find half a grain of grain in the whole city of Dizhou. When you get there, how much you want to sell is up to you?"

"Where is there, His Royal Highness just arrived not long ago. His Highness is here to provide disaster relief, and there must be a food truck accompanying him. Besides, even if there is no food in Dizhou, we can't raise the price indiscriminately without conscience." The shopkeeper Guo beat Haha.

Wu Biao thought to himself, this old fox!I will believe you?If it weren't for the earning of this batch of food, would they have been hired to escort them?
If it is on weekdays, and the grain cart is not gold, silver or jewelry, who would make a decision.Now, not only did they cover the grain carts tightly, but they also hired them as guards, naturally to prevent those hungry people from looting.

He has seen with his own eyes that shopkeeper Guo treats those hungry victims on the road with yellow faces, strictly guarding against them, without any compassion.

The two looked at each other, and burst out laughing tacitly.

Wu Biaotou was used to running this line, and he was very accurate on Sutou.Sure enough, after walking half a mile, a post station appeared in front of him.It was getting dark behind them.

The inn was originally opened by the government, and it is reasonable that only people with official certificates can stay.But the postmen and postmen here also have to eat, and it is too hard to rely on that little salary alone haha.

Therefore, the scope of post stations gradually expanded to include officials and family members, as long as they had official name cards, they could stay.

In a place like Dizhou, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the post station is large and safe, it has become the first choice for large caravans and bodyguard teams.The local officials turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye, leaving some oil and water for the people at the post station.

　On the 15th day of Wanchang, I didn't expect that I could last for half a month, happy ^_^
