Chapter 201 Set off back to Chizhou
The man jumped off the carriage, looked at the empty surroundings, and said quietly:
"Your Majesty has been following me all this time. I wonder what you want?"
The person hiding in the dark knew that he had been discovered, so he stopped hiding and walked out of the woods openly.
The person who came was wearing a gray-blue Taoist uniform, with sparse white hair tied into a Taoist hairpin, and a copper coin sword slung behind his back.
He has a lean figure, and the protruding Fuxi bones on his forehead are particularly obvious.
The wrinkles on the face are the knives left by the years.
When the man saw the person coming, impatience flashed across his face hidden under the mask.
It’s really haunting.
"Taoist Master Qingyun, if you don't guard your Baiyun Temple, why are you following the poor Taoist?"
"The Taoist priest was joking. The road is facing the sky. Everyone goes on one side. This road is in Dayue. If the Taoist priest takes it, the poor Taoist will naturally take it too."
The man's hand holding the whisk tightened, and then he quickly swept it in the direction of Taoist Master Qingyun.
Taoist Priest Qingyun reacted quickly and flew away from the place.
But he was still surrounded by a black air.
Taoist Priest Qingyun raised his hands to perform the secret, and a golden light enveloped him to prevent him from being corroded by the black energy.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the man got into the carriage and ordered his subordinates in a deep voice:
"We won't go to Chizhou for the time being. We'll change our route to Yangzhou first and get rid of this dog-skin plaster."
"Yes."
The subordinate raised his whip, and the bloody horse sped out quickly.
When Taoist Priest Qingyun came out of the black air, he only saw the back of a carriage.
"If you want to get rid of Pindao, there is no way."
Qin's army barracks.
After several months of hard work, almost all the chess pieces in the military camp, large and small, have been removed.
King Ding didn't have to worry about Qin Hongwen's true identity being exposed and using the Qin family's army to jump over the wall.
These days King Tianding began to think about leaving the military camp.
After Su Wan told King Ding about going to Taohua Village to spend the Chinese New Year together, King Ding had been looking forward to it.
"Qin Fen, do you want to stay in the military camp?"
Qin Fen looked at King Ding in shock.
"Why did the prince say this? My subordinates must stay with the prince to protect your safety."
King Ding stood up and patted Qin Fen on the shoulder.
"You kid, like your father, love marching and fighting. I have noticed it these days."
"Your Majesty, my subordinate, no..."
Qin Fen was terrified.
He thought he hid his thoughts well.
Unexpectedly, it was still seen.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you. I shouldn't have such thoughts."
He was raised by Prince Ding, and he swore allegiance to protect the prince to the death.
"Eh..." King Ding looked at Qin Fen disapprovingly:
"You can't say that, you have something you like, and I'm happy for you.
You are an ambitious child, and I cannot be selfish and keep you around.
You should have a broader world.
If you like the military camp, you can stay. I will ask Qin Xiaozhi to take you personally. "
"Your Majesty..."
Qin Fen's nose felt sour, and the usually steady man almost had red eyes.
"My lord, my subordinates must stay by your side to protect you. If I stay in the military camp, what will happen to your safety?"
"It is enough to have Qin Yang and Qin Yuan by my side.
Besides, you have seen the abilities of my two good grandsons. With them here, I, the king, will be fine. "
"Your Majesty..." Qin Fen wanted to say something more, but when he saw the look on Wang Ding's face that his mind had been made up and could not be changed, he swallowed his words.
He cupped his fists in salute and said gratefully:
"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."
"Get up."
King Ding stepped forward and helped the man up.
"Qin Fen, I have selfish motives in letting you stay in the military camp.
You are my most trusted subordinate, and I want you to help me watch over the Qin family's army.
Don't let the Qin family army be bribed and placed as chess pieces again. "
"Yes, my subordinates will remember the prince's instructions and will definitely take good care of the military camp for the prince. In the future, the Qin family's army will be completely handed over to the real crown prince."
"Okay, good boy."
King Ding touched his beard happily.
"There are also letters sent to the capital by Imperial Physician Wu. I asked Qin Yuan to write a few more letters, and you will send them back to the capital after a while.
Paralyze those people in the capital.
This time when I return to Beijing, I will completely eliminate the bugs in the palace. "
King Ding said, his eyes glowing with determination.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will ask Qin Yuan to write a letter."
Su Jingnian didn't know until the next day that Qin Fen was going to stay in the military camp.
"Grandpa, I also want to stay in the military camp."
He liked to compete with the soldiers in the military camp and listen to the generals arguing about how to march and fight.
When he entered the military camp, he was like his eldest brother entering the school. He was as comfortable as a fish in water.
Su Jing, who was only 9 years old after the New Year, was standing in front of King Ding, up to his waist.
"Grandpa knows that our Jingnian likes military camps, but you are too young now.
If you enter the military camp now, let alone grandpa not agreeing, you will not be able to pass even your parents' test. "
When Su Jinnian mentioned her parents, she shut up obediently.
Indeed, his current biological age is too young, and his mother will not agree.
When King Ding saw the disappointment on his grandson's face, he couldn't bear it and comforted him with a smile:
"Grandpa promises you that when you are twelve years old, you will join the Qin family army."
"Grandpa, are you serious?"
Su Jinnian raised her head and looked at her grandfather with bright eyes.
"Of course it's true. Grandpa is a prince and he will never break his promise."
"Okay, then wait until I'm twelve years old before I join the military camp."
"Who wants to enter the camp?"
Su Wan ran in from outside the camp.
Shake the snow off your cloak.
Stomping his feet, he stood by the stove and warmed himself up.
In December in the Northland, snowflakes are already flying all over the sky.
Su Wan stretched out her hands on the stove and rubbed her hands. After the chill on her body dissipated, she walked to King Ding and asked:
"Grandpa, we've almost packed our luggage. When will we set off back to Chizhou?"
"The weather will get colder as the days go by. There is still a month left. It takes a month to drive from Sunset City to Chizhou. We will set off tomorrow."
King Ding brought many guards with him when he came, and when he left, he left quietly.
Traveling lightly, only five people.
The five people quietly left the military camp before dawn the next day.
The only people who knew that King Ding had left the military camp were Qin Fen and Qin Xiaozhi.
The north wind is blowing, and snowflakes are flying all over the sky.
The carriage wheels were equipped with anti-slip straw, making a creaking sound on the snow.
Four people were sitting in the carriage, and Qin Yang was driving the carriage outside.
Simply Dingwang's carriage is large enough for four people to sit there without being crowded.
There was a stove in the middle of the carriage.
There is an iron pipe in the middle of the stove leading to the outside of the roof.
The surroundings of the carriage were sealed tightly. In order to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, Su Jinnian specially thought of this method and renovated the carriage.
You can keep yourself warm by the fire without worrying about carbon poisoning.
The stove was surrounded by a wire mesh.
There are teapots, red dates, longan, peanuts, chestnuts and other items on the Internet.
Su Wan had prepared this in advance, saying that she could cook tea by the stove on the way.
The teapot hummed and steamed, in stark contrast to the north wind blowing outside.
King Ding ate a roasted and fragrant chestnut and suddenly thought of something.
"Wanwan, have you written to your parents about our return to Chizhou today?"
"I sent the letter. Don't worry, grandpa. My parents know that we are going back to Chizhou County today. They should be preparing New Year's goods now."
Su Minan is indeed preparing new year's goods.
Mrs. Xu went to the capital, and Chen Yunzhi took care of all the business jointly owned by the two.
Chen Yunzhi was busy every day without touching the ground, so she left the purchase of new year's goods to Su Min'an.
Fortunately, Su Min'an was smart and left the affairs of the sweet potato flour workshop to Chief Ye, and he could just give him some advice from time to time.
This way you can concentrate on buying new year’s goods.
Bacon, sausage, cured fish….
Su Min'an looked at the small book of new year's goods written by his wife and bought them one by one.
The first five pigs raised by Chen Laoer's family are ready for slaughter.
In the past, the Chen family sold these pigs to butchers in the county or town. This year, Sumin Security took care of them.
In fact, both my daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law said they really wanted to eat bacon, so Su Min'an simply made more.
If you can't finish it, you won't have to worry about it getting damaged if you put it in the space.
Su Minan came to his father-in-law's house early in the morning.
Chen Damu was already setting up a pot to boil water.
In the past, this was done by the boys at home.
But after Su Min'an's sweet potato flour workshop is built, a lot of sweet potato residue will be produced every day.
Chen Xue, 16, from the first room and Chen Li, 14 from the second room, are responsible for transporting the sweet potato residue back to Xinghua Village to feed the pigs every day.
Su Minan came to help slaughter the pigs.
Chen Laoer was squatting at the door and smoking a cigarette with his neck curled up. When he saw Su Min'an coming, he quickly welcomed him into the yard.
"Why are you here in such a cold weather? Didn't you agree a few days ago that the pig will be killed and delivered to you?"
Su Minan grinned and said:
"Dad, I'm here to help. I'm strong."
"There are people in the pig-killing village who can help. Come inside and have a sip of hot water. Dashu has gone to the village to ask someone to butcher the pigs. We can kill the pigs when everyone is here."
Mrs. Zhang was lighting the fire in the kitchen. When she heard Su Minan's voice, she quickly asked her eldest daughter-in-law to bring her a cup of tea.
"His uncle, drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
