Chapter 393 Robbed
In early August, riots broke out in Xihai.
Yunqing got the news and said to Yuxi: "The time has come." Yuxi didn't agree with Yunqing's attack on Xihai before, and just waited for Xihai to commit suicide.
Yu Xi shook her head and said, "Why did you choose this time?" Hurrying at this time is easy to suffer from heat stroke.
Yun Qing had a good grasp of the situation in Xihai, and when she saw Yu Xi shaking her head at first, she thought it was too late, but she didn't expect it to be too hot. Immediately, he couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "It must be a last resort, and the common people will be violent." At the beginning, the government did not increase the interest on the food borrowed, and paid back as much as it borrowed. This year has a bumper harvest, and the people in the Northwest will not worry about being hungry again this year. Yunqing has already occupied two states in Xihai, and the taxes in the two states are not high. In contrast, those people who were exploited by the imperial government and chieftains naturally did not want to be bullied anymore.
Yuxi just felt sorry for Yunqing going to the West Sea in such a hot day, so she muttered: "When do you plan to leave?"
Yun Qing said: "Let's go tomorrow." There are already 30,000 troops stationed there, and Yun Qing doesn't need to lead any more troops.
Mother Bai said again: "Ma'am, the red bean smoothie is ready, you can eat it."
Yu Xi took a small bowl, seeing Yun Qing not moving, said with a smile: "This food tastes very good, you have a taste." She would not eat it if it was not delicious, Yu Xi rarely eats cold food .
Yun Qing took a bite and nodded, and asked Mama Bai: "Mama Bai, how do you make this thing? It's delicious." The taste is very good, and it's refreshing to eat.
Mother Bai said with a smile: "Madam made this. Madam has been working for a long time to make this red bean smoothie!" The general must know that Madam is someone who can merge internally and externally.
Yuxi smiled and said: "This thing is not difficult to make. First, boil the selected red beans, then dry them, then wrap them in white sugar, then take ice cubes, crush them and put them in, and finally pour in the stew-free beef. nǎi. I think it's too monotonous, so you can add your favorite fruit." Yu Xi made this red bean smoothie with watermelon.
Mother Bai added a sentence, and said: "General, don't look at Madam's simple words, but it's not so easy to do."
Yun Qing took another bite with a smile, and asked, "Did you eat jujube?"
Yuxi glanced at Yunqing, and said: "I've used it a long time ago, this girl likes it so much! I won't eat it, and she even cried." It was also Yuxi who saw the watermelon and suddenly remembered the red bean smoothies she had eaten before .
Yun Qing said indifferently: "If you want to eat, let her eat!"
Yuxi was speechless, and said: "If you eat too much of such a cold thing, you will have diarrhea." If it wasn't for Zaozao's good health and fear of heat, she wouldn't have touched it.
In order to hide the embarrassment in his heart, Yunqing quickly changed the subject, and said: "The Huangyu in Xihai Lake is said to be delicious, and I will send someone back to give you a taste." Yunqing would say that because Yuxi liked it very much. eat fish.
Yuxi didn't answer Yunqing's words, but read a poem: "Looking back at Xiuchengdui in Chang'an, a thousand gates on the top of the mountain opened for the first time. A concubine riding in the world of mortals smiled, and no one knew it was a litchi."
Yun Qing snorted, not understanding that Yu Xi read the poem gracefully. He knows nothing about poetry.
Yuxi explained: "Concubine Yang likes to eat lychees very much, but lychees are a specialty of Lingnan. In order to satisfy Concubine Yang's appetite, Tang Minghuang ordered people to send lychees to Lishan urgently at eight hundred miles." It is used in military affairs.
After a pause, Yu Xi continued: "There is more than 2,000 miles of road from Xihai Lake to Hao City. If you drive fast day and night, it will take several days to get there. Just to eat a few fish, a lot of manpower is wasted. Material strength, do you think it's okay?"
Yun Qing laughed and said: "If you think it's not good, then I won't give it away.
You don't need to compare yourself with that demon concubine! "Isn't this self-deprecation!
Yuxi is not willing to argue with Yunqing whether Yang Yuhuan is a demon concubine: "Herui, if you think about occupying the West Sea, I am very happy to send me fish from Qinghai Lake. However, today is different, You must lead by example and set a good example for the officials and generals below."
Yun Qing was not angry either, and patted Yuxi's head and said, "You, I just think too much. I don't give it away often, but I just want you to taste it. Since you think it's not good, then I won't give it away. "
Yuxi held Yunqing's hand and said: "Xihai Lake is as beautiful as a fairyland, when you have a chance, you can take me to see it." Xihaihu has a reputation as a fairy lake, and Yuxi wants to take a look.
A smile appeared on Yun Qing's face, and he said, "Aren't you afraid of wasting manpower and money when you go?" If Yu Xi wanted to travel far, hundreds of guards would be needed to protect her. So many people can get a lot of money by eating and drinking!
Yuxi rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that two big horse farms will be built in Xihai! When there are horses raised there, I have to go and see them to be relieved."
Yun Qing gave a four-word reply: "Fake public affairs for personal gain."
The next day, Yu Xi didn't get up until near noon, her back was sore, and she didn't feel better until she took a medicinal bath. Husband's energy is too strong, which is also a worrying thing. Usually Yunqing will restrain himself, but this time the two have to be separated for two or three months, and Yunqing has no restraint. Last night, he lost consciousness until the end of the torment. .
Xu Wu got the news and knew that Yu Xi had finished his lunch, so he sent a message: "Madam, the old lady has arrived in Suide County."
Seeing Xu Wu's hesitation, Yu Xi knew something was wrong: "What happened to the second sister-in-law?" Both mother and elder brother have arrived in Suide, and there will definitely be no more accidents. And Yuxi also knew that Mrs. Ye stayed in Quanzhou City because of illness, so Lu Xiu was the only one who had an accident.
Xu Wu nodded and said, "Second Mrs. Han was hijacked by bandits from Tiger Mountain."
The bandits hijacked people also for money, Yuxi said: "I remember Hong Feihu was in Yanzhou, let Hong Feihu go to negotiate with them. As long as they let people go, other things can be discussed." Ten years of Liu Yongnan, and Hong Feihu is his deputy.
Xu Wu said: "If we bring it up first, they will definitely open their mouths."
Yuxi waved her hand and said: "They offer a sky-high price, and it depends on whether we can pay it. Besides, I think Hong Feihu can handle this matter well." It's easy to talk between bandits!
Xu Wu didn't say a word.
Yuxi said in a low voice: "I haven't settled with them for what happened four years ago. If something happens to my second sister-in-law, I will definitely make them pay a heavy price..."
Lu Xiu was taken away by the bandits, and Han Jianming hid it from the Qiu family at first. But after such a long time, I can't hide it if I want to.
After traveling long distances, Qiu's body was a little weak, and when she heard that her daughter-in-law and grandson had been arrested, she immediately fainted.
After waking up, Qiu Shi grabbed Han Jianming's hand and said, "Ming'er, you must save your siblings and nephew!" In this way, Lu Xiu will not be captured by the bandits.
Han Jianming said: "Mother, don't worry, I have already asked General Liu to send a letter to Yuxi. As long as Yuxi sends a message, General Liu and the others will definitely find a way to save people." Otherwise, the order to save people would have been ordered long ago.
Qiu couldn't stop crying: "I hope your siblings and two children can listen to it."
Han Jianming comforted: "Mother, don't worry, you'll be fine." Han Jianming's journey was also very dangerous, but the few people who escorted him were highly skilled in martial arts and familiar with the terrain, so they saved the day.
Shang Da's original arrangement was actually selfish. For example, Yu Zhi was the most skilled in martial arts, so he was sent to protect Han Jianming; and he was to protect Qiu Shi. This arrangement is because Shang Da knows very well that Han Jianming and the Qiu family have the highest status in Yuxi's heart.
From Pick City to Yanzhou City, it takes one day and one night to arrive quickly. When Hong Feihu heard that Yuxi sent him to negotiate, his eyes were as big as copper bells: "Why do you want me to talk to those bandits? No." he came.
Yuan Fuliang said beside him: "Yes, I won't go." It's a shame to risk your head to do such a thing.
Liu Yongnan said: "Madam asked you to go by name, because Madam thinks you are competent. If you are afraid of death and dare not go, then forget it, I will send another person to go. But don't blame me for not reminding you, the general once said that if you dare If you disobey Madam's order, you will be punished severely." If it were him, he would not dare to disobey Madam's order.
Seeing Hong Feihu's ashen face, Liu Yongnan said: "On the contrary, if you succeed in this matter, Madam will definitely remember you well. In the future, your benefits will be indispensable?" Even the general will listen to Madam and get Madam's favor , it will be much more convenient to do things in the future. But Liu Yongnan also knew it was not easy, so he didn't think much about it.
He couldn't figure it out, why Yunqing would let a woman be in charge. Now that he has to listen to that girl, it's really aggrieved. But no matter how aggrieved, this matter cannot be delayed. Hong Feihu muffled: "If you want to pick someone up, you must bleed."
Liu Yongnan nodded and said: "Ma'am said, as long as the conditions are not excessive, you can agree." As for the degree, Hong Feihu needs to grasp it himself.
Hong Feihu also knew that this trip was imperative: "When will we leave?" Fortunately, he was not allowed to negotiate terms with people empty-handed, otherwise he would definitely give up.
Liu Yongnan said: "The sooner the better."
Seeing this, Yuan Fuliang said: "I'll go with my eldest brother." Good brothers, naturally, we have the same blessings and the same difficulties.
Hong Feihu accepted this affection, but he was unwilling to take Yuan Fuliang there: "It's enough for me to go alone, you stay here well." After saying this, Hong Feihu added another sentence: "If these People have poisoned me, and you will help me avenge when the time comes."
Liu Yongnan felt that Hong Feihu was too pessimistic: "Don't worry, these people don't dare to kill you. Otherwise, I will lead my troops to level the Tiger Mountain." This can be regarded as giving Hong Feihu confidence. (to be continued)
