[Red House] That natural stay

Mo Jue stood behind Xia Rong and took the wine glass handed over by Emperor Shenghe together.

"Lao Liu, the journey here is extremely difficult and dangerous. You must take good care of yourself. The people in the south of the Yangtze River are waiting for you. I am also waiting for you to come back." Emperor Shenghe stared at him and spoke slowly.

Xia Rong didn't speak, but nodded firmly, and then drank the wine in the glass.

Emperor Shenghe turned to Mo Jue again, but he didn't speak. He just raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, which represented too many meanings. Among the officials who went to Jiangnan together, only Mo Jue had such treatment. It can be seen that Emperor Shenghe's attitude towards him.

After drinking the farewell wine, the group officially set off.Xia Rong rode a gray horse in the lead, Mo Jue and Fu Yizhi followed closely behind, with a number of boxes containing silver and supplies walking in the middle, and guards with knives guarded them strictly on both sides.Finally a few carriages.

The fine white snow quickly covered up the traces of the group of people.After completely disappearing, Emperor Shenghe brought everyone back to the palace.

Mo Jue was riding a snow-white horse, and he was trotting steadily all the way.She was wearing a dark green cloak, but it was already stained with white flowers.Before leaving, out of the corner of his eye, he caught Xiao Liu in the carriage beside him waving desperately at him, his eyes were still shining with water. Fortunately, the master and servant had already said goodbye when they were at home.And Xia Tian, ​​who didn't speak a word the whole time, just stood behind Emperor Sheng He, looking straight at him, and the thousands of emotions contained in his eyes made him dare not look at him.Although he didn't understand what it was, his intuition told him not to touch it lightly.

But he still couldn't help touching a hard object protruding from his waist, and Xia Tian's face like a crown jade appeared in his mind.

Including the accompanying guards, there were more than [-] people on this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, some of whom were on horseback and some were on foot.With so many things on hand, the marching speed is naturally impossible to be so fast.Coupled with the fine but unbroken snow, it wasn't until dark that he managed to leave the city gate and stopped in the woods a few miles outside the city.

Everyone was doing their own things in an orderly manner. Those who set up tents set up tents, and those who picked up wood picked up wood. Although most of them were covered under the heavy snow, they still managed to light a fire.After a while, the water in the pot was already faintly emitting white smoke.

Among this group of people, Xia Rong, Mo Jue and the other three had the highest official positions, and they naturally sat around the fire to discuss the purpose of the trip.

"With this marching speed, it may take more than a month to reach Jiangnan." Fu Yizhi frowned slightly.Time waits for no one. Although Emperor Shenghe has ordered the government in the Jiangnan area to distribute all the food to the people affected by the disaster, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Who knows if they will do so, and after decades In other words, after a hundred years of development, the officialdom in Jiangnan has already formed its own set of rules.It is common for officials to protect each other.Officials such as inspectors were also sent, but they were either assimilated or died inexplicably.In the end, it became resignation.If the new emperor ascends the throne, it may not be easy to change this situation.

"Is there no better way?"

better way?Not without.It's just that it's difficult to implement.It won't be long before the officials in Jiangnan will receive the news that the chief dispatcher of the disaster relief is a prince, the sixth prince Xia Rong who is known as the 'Iron Faced God of War'.Those who have ghosts in their hearts will make preparations in advance. In this way, if they cooperate well, if they don't cooperate, they will add trouble to their disaster relief at 01:30.Besides, what Emperor Shenghe wanted was not just disaster relief.

"Lord Mo, what's your plan?" Xia Rong turned to the young man who was sitting quietly beside him.

Mo Jue raised his head, and both Xia Rong and Fu Yizhi focused their eyes on him.After pondering for a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "There is a way, but I don't know if it is feasible."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Since those people in Jiangnan will get the news sooner or later, but they may not have actually seen you and me. I will wait for the three of us to leave one person to take care of the money and food, and the other two will rush to Jiangnan to investigate the disaster situation and the situation in the officialdom. If conditions permit, some simple arrangements can be made. When the large troops officially arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, they will not be lost in their actions like headless chickens. Of course, if the other two leave, they must not let outsiders know. Look for your confidants to pretend to be the two of you, so that everyone will think that everything is normal and there is nothing unusual." Having said this, Mo Jue stopped.

No one spoke for a while, and the other two were thinking about the feasibility of this plan.

"I think this method is feasible." Fu Yizhi was the first to speak, looking at the young man with slight appreciation.It seems that the eyes of the three fathers are indeed correct.Maybe he could really try to accept the possibility of having another brother.

"I also think this method can be tried." Xia Rong also continued to express his opinion.He didn't claim to be the king, and he took the initiative to put down his body and become one with several people.Of course, this was also aimed at Mo Jue. After all, he and Fu Yizhi had known each other for many years, and they were brothers who died on the battlefield, so naturally they would not be polite.

"Then, which two will go first?"

This question silenced several people for a while.The first two people will bear some dangers. If they annoy each other and are discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable.But the one who stays will not go anywhere easily, not only to take care of the money and food, but also to be careful not to be discovered by others about the secret between them.Therefore, no matter whether you stay or leave, what you are facing is not an easy task.

"Let Mo Jue and I go ahead, I'll leave this to Yizhi." Xia Rong finally decided.He is the chief dispatcher, so naturally he has the right to speak.

The other two nodded without any objection.Fu Yizhi had followed Xia Rong on the battlefield and had military merits, so he was more suitable for the task of guarding money and food than Mo Jue, a "little boy", and he could also shock the accompanying soldiers.

"Well, it's decided like this. When we arrive in Linjing Town in three days, Mo Jue and I will change clothes first. As for the replacement, I will arrange it."

Several people discussed in low voices for a while, and the discussion was not over until the soldiers came to say that dinner was ready.

Dinner was salty porridge, and each person was given a steamed bun.Under such circumstances, Mo Jue would not be picky about anything.After finishing eating silently with everyone, I sat by the fire for a while, and didn't return to the tent to sleep until the middle of the month.

The tent is not very big, there are four soldiers and entourages, the privilege of the ruling class, Mo Jue and three people are in one room.There is still plenty of room to lie flat.He slept on the far left side of the tent. Not long after, the curtain was lifted again. Mo Jue felt that there was someone lying next to him. He didn't pay much attention to it, and slowly fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Early the next morning, after eating something simple, I packed up the pots and pans and set off again.It was rare that the snow did not continue, but it was still cold and windy, which hurt people's faces.Along the way, they marched and slept in the mountains, and naturally encountered very few pedestrians.Three days later, the group arrived in Linjing Town smoothly.

Ever since Mo Jue did a good deed to get rid of those thieves in Lone Wolf Mountain a few months ago, Linjing Town has slowly restored peace.There is no such thing as a missing man.Of course, all the credit for this has been recorded on the court.At that time, when the news came out, everyone was shocked. The long-term confidant's serious troubles were solved like this?It was later learned that the Sixth Prince Xia Rong was lurking alone in the Lone Wolf Mountain, slowly disintegrating the enemy from the inside, and cooperating with the soldiers guarding the outside to catch them all.

Xia Rong's prestige is naturally higher.

Entering Linjing Town, except for profitable inns and some shops, all the doors are closed, but occasionally pedestrians will pass by on the road.Seeing such a mighty group of people, I looked more curiously, then turned around and left.

He stopped in front of the gate of the government office, and there were already officials from the government waiting there. Whenever he settled in a town, he would send someone to contact the local government in advance, so that the money and food could be better protected.Of course, the news that the sixth prince Xia Rong personally escorted the disaster relief supplies has already been notified to the local governments, but the time of knowing is different due to the distance of the region.

Xia Rong and Mo Jue wanted to use this node to reach Jiangnan before the court notified the personnel.

"Your Majesty has met the Sixth Prince." The county magistrate of Linjing Town saluted.

"Master Li, you're welcome." Xia Rongxu gave him a hand.Several people entered the mansion immediately.As for the others, they will naturally be arranged.

Sitting in the lobby, Xia Rong was at the top, Mo Jue and Fu Yizhi sat on the right, and the rest of Master Li naturally sat on the left.

"Lord Li, the king and others will rest in Linjing Town for a day, and I hope you will cooperate a lot."

"My lord is serious, these are what lower officials should do." Lord Li was a little flattered, and shook his head again and again saying he didn't dare.

After saying a few more words, he moved to the back hall to have lunch at Master Li's request.This brightened the eyes of Mo Jue, who had been eating porridge, pickled vegetables and steamed buns for a few days.The dishes looked pretty good, and there wasn't any big fish or meat. It seemed that Mr. Li was still very obedient, knowing that the group of them was going to provide disaster relief, so the officials received below had to cooperate with the above.Of course, it is not ruled out that some people want to use this to cling to relationships.

After a pleasant lunch, under the leadership of Mr. Li, the three of them chose a bedroom in the backyard.Afterwards, he retreated on his own, leaving the space for these three big men.

Fu Yizhi checked around for a week and closed the door carefully after making sure that there was no one else.The three sat down at the round table.

"The people who will replace me and Mo Jue will come tonight, and we will leave quietly when we leave tomorrow. We will go to Jiangnan first from the small path." Xia Rong watched the two of them and said.

Mo Jue and the two had no objections.

"Yizhi, I will trouble you all the way." Turning his head and patted Fu Yizhi's shoulder, he said sincerely.

"What are you talking about, do you and my brother still need to be so polite?" He clasped the hand on the shoulder with his backhand.

The two smiled at each other.
