Number of romantic figures

Chapter 2145 The three women in the Guizi scroll go south, Qin Yun decides

The mansion is also busy, and everyone is packing their things.

In the blink of an eye, they have been staying here for more than a month, and everyone is in a daze, as if they have inadvertently regarded this place as Xi'an City.

Linfen is the seat of Pingyang Prefecture, attached to Guocheng, and is also the central city of the entire southeastern and even southern Shanxi. It is very prosperous, and it is the throat hub for Shaanxi to enter Shanxi.

In terms of economic development and business prosperity, Shanxi is second only to Taiyuan and Datong, and far exceeds other cities in the province. Changzhi and Zezhou are incomparable.

It's a pity that even here seems to be a bit uneven now.

No matter Xue Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan or others had imagined that this journey would be so difficult and dangerous.

First, in order to confuse outsiders, they stayed in Datong for more than half a month. It was not until the outside world knew that Feng Ziying had gone south to Shaanxi long ago, and the family members began to slowly leave Datong and go south.

Pass Huairen, pass Shuozhou, and then go to Ningwu.

Ningwu is the resident of Shanxi Town, which is far inferior to Datong, but the road is bumpy, and Feng Ziying also specifically told them to drive slowly along the way, safety first, so the group stayed in Ningwu for a few days before starting the road .

The line from Ningwu to Taiyuan is relatively calm and the roads are good, so it didn't take much trouble to get to Taiyuan.

Taiyuan is the center of Shanxi, and its prosperity is comparable to that of Datong, so the group rested in Taiyuan for a few days.

It is inevitable that officials and family members from Shanxi will come to visit. After all, Feng Ziying's reputation has spread far and wide in the north, and everyone knows that this is a rising star in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you don't hurry up and make a relationship earlier, when will you wait?
And Xue Baoqin, Miaoyu, Xiuyan and others also sent people to visit Shen Zong who was still serving in the Shanxi Chief Envoy. Although they had nothing to do with each other, they were considered relatives.

Moreover, Feng Ziying went south in the starry night and did not stay anywhere at all, and naturally she would not visit her old father-in-law, so they sent someone to send someone to the worship service, which was regarded as a courtesy for Feng Ziying.

The road from Taiyuan to the south began to be less peaceful.

First, I encountered bandits who robbed the road between Jiexiu and Lingshi. Fortunately, the guards and soldiers were not vegetarians, and they escaped after beheading a few people, but it was inevitable that they would be delayed for two days in Lingshi County to settle the case. , and then continue southward.

But before arriving in Huozhou, he learned that Pingyang Mansion was not peaceful, and as a result, he was attacked by a small group of rebels and mobs at Yindiguan. Fortunately, Feng Ziying left guards for the group and recruited from Feng Duan's family The personal soldiers were effective, and the rebellious army of more than 100 people was defeated on the spot, beheading more than [-] people, and the rest scattered.

But even so, the three daughters Xue Baoqin, Lin Miaoyu and Xing Xiuyan were terrified, and some dared not go further south.

They stayed in Huozhou for nearly ten days, but they were not sure whether the safety of going south would be guaranteed. If they were really robbed by bandits and rebels, no matter what happened, they would have no face to see their husband. You can only jump into the river or hang yourself.

It’s just that it’s impossible to stay here all the time. Later, I talked about it and even asked the local people to escort me, so I arrived in Pingyang safely all the way.

Although the guards are strong and the personal soldiers are also very powerful, but after all, there are only a hundred or ten of them, so it would be hard to say if they really encountered thousands of rebels.

When they arrived in Pingyang, they didn't dare to move, because the news from all over the place was that the Shaanxi rebels had entered Jin, and they entered Jin from Longmendu, the scale was not small, and the situation in Pingyang Prefecture was already in turmoil.

This stay lasted for more than one or two months, and it really felt like years.

Fortunately, the city of Linfen was even bustling and bustling, especially after the situation became turbulent, many gentry from the countryside flocked to the city.

Those with lesser family resources go to the county, and those who are richer and more famous go to Linfen. This Linfen is the center of southern Shanxi. No one has ever thought that even Linfen will be unsafe.

"If you don't leave, you will die." Xue Baoqin's face was full of worry, with one hand resting on the armrest of the huanghuali chair, and the other resting on his cheek, saying one sentence after another: "The news from the government office , The rebel army has already captured Jishan and is fighting fiercely with the government and army in the area of ​​Wuping Pass, but the situation may not be good, and the rebel army is also instigating the rebels to besiege Yishi and Linjin, and these two counties are also in jeopardy."

Miaoyu raised her eyes, she was blind to geography, she didn't know where Jishan, Yishi and Linjin were, and she didn't even know where the rebel army crossed the river from east.

"If the Yi clan and Linjin are captured by the rebel army, will it block our way to the south?" Miaoyu asked.

"Although they didn't block our way to the south, they are very close to the way we must pass." Xue Baoqin didn't bother to talk to her. Once Wuping Pass was lost, Jiangzhou would be in danger, and Qu Jiang, who had to pass through Under the threat of the rebel army, similarly, once the Yi family and Linjin were lost, Wenxi would not be safe in Xiezhou.

On the contrary, Xing Xiuyan knew something about the situation, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, Sister Qin has a plan in mind, and Duan Jia Jiulang and Feng Silang are there, and they will definitely keep us going to Xi'an safely."

Baoqin glared at Xiuyan, this girl would put the responsibility on herself, but this trip was mainly about herself, Miaoyu, a stupid woman, except for being born with a good skin and being able to please her husband on the bed, other things Nothing but a vase.

The word "vase" was still used by my husband, that is to say, those people who have no ink on the outside can only rely on their appearance to win the favor of men. Isn't this Miaoyu the most typical one.

That Xing Xiuyan is a strong rival, but she is only a concubine, and her status restricts her to death, and there is a narrow-minded Lin Daiyu on their heads, if they really perform too well, it may not be her blessing, with Xing Xiuyan's wisdom , will not fail to understand this.

"Sister Xiuyan, sister Miaoyu don't know, don't you know the seriousness here?" Baoqin put down her wrist resting on her chin, picked up the tea and took a sip, "Procrastinate, maybe Linfen is not safe , Then what should we do? Either return north to Taiyuan, or go east to Zezhou or even Changzhi.”

"I didn't hear Duan Jiajiulang say that the entire Pingyang Mansion near the Yellow River is in chaos. Shanxi seems to have no way to deal with it. When I was in Ningwu, I didn't see Shanxi Town getting nervous. When I arrived in Taiyuan, there was no response. I heard how many people talked about these things. It was not until Qi County that someone talked about the chaos in the south, but I didn't see much worry. When I arrived in Huozhou, I knew the bad things. It can be seen that this matter Putting it away for a hundred miles, the people in the countryside can't think of so much, but what's going on with this government?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled sweetly: "It's still my sister who thinks carefully, and my younger sister can't think of so much, but my younger sister agrees with my older sister's opinion, and it is true that we can't wait and procrastinate forever, but we still have to think carefully about the safety of going south and west. It's a female family member, if something happens to me, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out, and we have different identities, we are all husband's family, if something really happens, let alone anything , that will also affect Xianggong's reputation."

"Let's see what Duan Jiajiulang and Feng Silang say." Baoqin was also worried about this issue.

But if she goes back, she has seen the map, and the road from Shanxi to Shaanxi is not safe, even from the northernmost Laoniuwan to Yulin Town, but the road from Yulin to the south is also unsafe, unless the husband sends troops to pick him up. But when will we have to toss about it?

Either go south and cross the river, and you have to avoid the area where the rebels are active. Even if you cross the river and enter Henan, walk up the Yellow River, walk through Mianchi, Lingbao, and then enter Tongguan.

But this road is also far away. If the road from Wenxi to Xiezhou is not safe, how about Henan, which is only across the Yellow River?

This chaotic army is no better than the official army. They will run wherever there is food. A Yellow River can't stop them.

The sound of Lulu's footsteps came in and stopped outside the courtyard: "Duan Xipeng and Feng Jinchang are asking to see the three grandmas."

Baoqin sat up straight, Miaoyu and Xiuyan also adjusted their attire, and put on a cold posture.

Although there is no need to pay too much attention to matters when going out, there are differences between inside and outside, so you can't let others gossip.

Both Duan Xipeng and Feng Jinchang were recruited by Feng Ziying in Datong.

Duan Xipeng is considered to be the younger brother of the Duan family, but he is proficient in bow and horse, and it is rare to have good martial arts. These are all skills that Yuanzhi wants to make a living. He recruited relatives and recommended himself, and sure enough, he won Feng Ziying's favor.

Feng Jinchang is also a member of the distant branch, or even further away. In terms of seniority, he must be the nephew of Feng Ziying. He is in his early thirties and has passed the examination as a scholar, but he has made no progress. He also has some martial arts for self-defense, but compared to Duan Xipeng. It's much worse, but Duan Xipeng only has a rough knowledge of characters, which is not as good as Feng Jinchang's ability to read and write.

So Wu Yaoqing, Feng You, and Li Guibao made a plan, and they stayed behind, leading some of the soldiers recruited in Datong from Duan Feng's two children, and of course some old soldiers, to guard the three grandmas and their party to Xi'an.

"Jiulang, Shiro, come in. Don't ask for so many vulgar etiquettes." Baoqin said in a deep voice.

Having said that, both Duan Xipeng and Feng Jinchang knew that the rules must be followed.

By the Governor's side, everything is easy to talk about, except that the rules and etiquette inside and outside the inner house must be clearly distinguished, they are all young women, so don't cause unnecessary gossip.

The two came in, gave a military salute, stood one step away from the threshold, Duan Xipeng clasped his fists and said: "It's better for Shiro to talk about the situation first, and then ask the three grandmas to decide how to go."

As soon as the three women heard it, they knew that there were probably some problems here. The information they received before was that there was basically no problem, but they had to get up as soon as possible. Looking at the situation now, I'm afraid it is not optimistic.
