Wait a minute, heroine

At night, the deserted bone beach.

A cavalry team of more than a hundred people, escorting dozens of carts, was waiting at a puddle deep in the Gobi Desert.

Hu Yanjing, carrying a saber in his hand, was riding on a tall horse, looking far to the southwest.

Next to Hu Yanjing, there is a monk wearing a monk's robe, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck. He has a fat head, big ears, thick eyebrows, and tiger eyes. He gives people a more sinister impression than Hu Yanjing.

The monk's name is Xuanye. He was originally a disciple of Qianfo Temple in Shahai. However, he returned to secular life and joined the Vanity Fair after not many years of chanting. He changed his name to Zhang Xuanye and worked as a retainer in Prince Liang's Mansion. He is currently one of the two leaders of the Black Flag Gang.

Hu Yanjing's background is also not simple. His ancestors were Liangzhou generals, and his background was similar to that of Shi Yanfeng, Jian Yuhua and others. After the destruction of the Yan Kingdom, he lived in the world and carved out a world with his ancestral sword. Jiang Zahu also recruited, However, Hu Yanjing's ancestor was a general, and his ambition was not in the world. He wanted to be crowned a marquis and prime minister to restore the glory of his ancestors. For this reason, he took refuge in the King of Liang and became the apparent leader of the Black Flag Gang.

The two of them rode tall horses. After waiting for a long time in the Gobi Desert, a carriage came from the depths of the Gobi Desert.

Gulu gulu...

The carriage is different from the common carriages in Liangzhou. The workmanship and materials are very luxurious. There are two pure white horses pulling the carriage in front, and there are more than ten warriors carrying carbines around. They are all uniformly dressed and lined up. Just look at the momentum. I knew that he was from the military, and compared with the rough-looking caravan man behind Hu Yanjing, he seemed to be from two different worlds.

Seeing this, Hu Yanjing and Zhang Xuanye drove their horses to the front of the carriage and bowed:

"Master."

The carriage stopped on the Gobi Desert. The door of the carriage was opened by the maid. It was visible that the lights were bright inside. Sitting in the middle was a young man in a brocade robe. He was quite handsome. He was at most eighteen or nineteen years old. There was a decoration hanging around his waist. Use the Sui Wenjian.

After the carriage stopped, the young master jumped off the carriage with a tap of his toes. Seeing the messy caravan, he spoke dissatisfiedly:

"Yanjing, go find some clean clothes and let them change their outfits. If you go to discuss business outside the customs, if you act rougher than the barbarians from Beiliang, won't you bring shame on me, the great Wei..."

Hu Yanjing got off his horse, held his hands in front of him and flattered:

"Young Master is right. However, the Gobi Desert is very windy and dusty, and these pawns don't care about cleanliness. Even when they changed into new clothes, they were dirty. I'll make preparations when we get to the border..."

Hu Yanjing's status in Liangzhou was only one head lower than that of the Hongshan Gang. When other Jianghu people met him, they all respectfully addressed him as Gang Leader Hu. The reason why they were so respectful to this young man with mediocre martial arts skills was because of his extraordinary status.

The young master's name is Dongfang Shangqing, and he is the youngest son of King Liang. Although he is not the heir apparent and his status is much lower than that of his brother Liang Badou, he is still a big shot that people in the world cannot afford to offend.

Dongfang Shangqing is the youngest. If his eldest brother dies, he will not be able to take the throne. For this reason, he has not been trained in the military and political fields since he was a child. His talents are focused on taking care of the family business. Since last year, he has taken over many private properties of Prince Liang's Mansion. .

Now that the imperial court and Beiliang have ceased war and established an alliance, the two dynasties have begun to gradually trade. It is impossible for the King of Liang to just escort such a lucrative business and let the merchants of the two dynasties earn all the money. A chamber of commerce has also been established under the royal palace.

This time, Dongfang Shangqing personally led a team to attend the "Gathering of Ten Thousand Tribes" in the ancient city of Langxuan in the Western Sea Tribes, and discuss business with the mountain kings there.

Dongfang Shangqing led people to several fully loaded carriages. After checking various groceries, he asked:

"Yanjing, you know what happened in the capital a few days ago, right?"

Hu Yanjing followed behind, nodded and said:

"Young Master, are you talking about Prince Yan's rebellion? I know something..."

"I know you should keep your hands and feet clean. My father has been busy with military affairs all year round and has no energy to care about trivial matters. I am not that easy to fool."

Dongfang Shangqing turned around with a serious face:

"For caravans flying the king's flag, the border troops will not set up strict checkpoints when leaving the customs. It is very simple to bring some things into and out of the customs. There was trouble in the capital a few days ago. Thousands of kilograms of black feather grass entered the country from outside the customs, and a whole ship was loaded. , the border army didn’t hear anything about it, tell me, how did Prince Yan get these things in?"

Hu Yanjing was stunned for a moment, then innocently said:

"Young Master, you have wronged me. The Crown Prince of Yan must have obtained the things from Yanzhou. I have been helping the prince for so many years, and I will never be able to spend all the money I gave him in my lifetime. How can I risk killing him?" It is risky to engage in smuggling business. Moreover, the Hongshan Gang has several trade routes, which can go from Shazhou across the desert to Beiliang. It is safer to find them than to find me..."

Zhang Xuanye, who was standing next to him, also said when he saw this: "Young master, I'm afraid you are worrying too much. I have always been in charge of the accounts of the Black Flag Gang, and I will check the incoming and outgoing goods. If Gang Leader Hu had any problems, I would have already submitted the news to the prince."

Dongfang Shangqing was just skeptical and didn't say much without any evidence:

"No matter if there is any problem or not, it's best to let me get over it in the future. The incident with the Black Feather Grass can be traced back to the source. If the leader of the Black Flag Gang is found, my father will become an accomplice, and he may even be accused of instigating Prince Yan is the one responsible for the assassination, and you know what will happen to you two when the time comes."

After finishing speaking, Dongfang Shangqing turned back to the carriage and drove towards the north.

Hu Yanjing got on his horse with his sword in hand and watched Dongfang Shangqing enter the carriage. His expression was not very good. After looking at each other with Zhang Xuanye, he lightly tucked the horse's belly and followed.

"drive……"

Gulu gulu...

——

The endless wilderness was dotted with stars. The carriage and horses were parked on the withered yellow grass, and a bonfire was lit next to them.

Shang Jianli, She Long and others were dressed as ordinary bodyguards and sat on the ground. They were holding a wooden stick with a hare on it and roasting it back and forth on the fire.

The old escort Yang Chao was holding a small wine bag and said with a slightly tipsy look:

"Liangzhou is poor, but except for the ubiquitous horse bandits, everything else is actually pretty good. Look at the sky, the earth, and the moon. It's not much more comfortable than being crowded in the small alleys of the capital..."

"Indeed, there are no rivers or lakes here, but it is much purer than the rivers and lakes in the Central Plains. All I can use is a knife in my hand. My identity and background are of no use in the Gobi Desert. I have only been walking for a few days, and I almost forgot that I am The arrest is coming..."

…

Not far away from the carriage, Ye Jingtang took a roasted hare and walked towards the lighted carriage. When he looked up, he saw Bird Bird, who had always been reincarnated as a starving ghost, uncharacteristically did not come over, but stood at the back of the motorcade. On the back of a camel, Fan Qinghe, dressed as an exotic beauty, was feeding the camel and kept muttering:

"Chi chi chi..."

Fan Qinghe obviously didn't understand what the bird was saying, "Why don't we feed the camel? Why don't we roast the camel?" He thought the bird was begging for food, so Niu Tou Bu responded to the horse's mouth:

"You also want to eat grass? Then, I'll give you one..."

"grumble?"

…

Ye Jingtang was a little amused, and he turned to look at the Queen Mother's carriage.

Inside the carriage, the Queen Mother was half leaning on Hong Yu, holding a telescope in her hand; Hong Yu knelt down behind her and used it as a soft pillow, rubbing the Queen Mother's shoulders.

The Queen Mother closed one eye and was using a telescope to look at the stars in the sky through the car window. When she was concentrating, a huge eye suddenly appeared in her field of vision. She was so frightened that her shoulders shook. She quickly moved the telescope away and discovered that Night Terror Hall stood at the window holding a big roast rabbit.

When the Queen Mother woke up, she was not allowed to eat hot or spicy food. She was almost stupid. When she saw this, she quickly sat up. Her aura was that of the Queen Mother who is the mother of the world, but her hands were very nimble, and she directly stretched out the window:

"Jingtang, thank you for your hard work. Just let Hongyu go and get it. Why bother to go there yourself~"

?

The roasted rabbit in Ye Jingtang's hand was roasted by Benben with a lot of effort. The Queen Mother whipped it out without paying attention, and said quickly:

"Hey, Queen Mother, you just woke up, eating these will hurt your stomach..."

The Queen Mother felt that she could no longer hold Feng Yi steady, so she took the roast rabbit and sat across from her, waving her hand and saying:

"It's okay. I know what's appropriate. I'll just take one bite and leave the rest to Hongyu. You go ahead and do your work. I don't need to take care of you..."

Ye Jingtang felt that the eyes of the plump Queen Mother were almost turning green. He was afraid that he would be scratched if he tried to grab her, so he had to take a step back and said:

"Hongyu, take good care of me. Don't overeat if I'm hungry for a long time."

Hongyu was very obedient, got up and sat in front of the Queen Mother, and started grabbing the roasted rabbit.

After all, the identity of the Queen Mother was here, and she couldn't act like she was reincarnated as a starving ghost, so she secretly handed the roasted rabbit to Hongyu for her to distribute. After thinking about it, she asked again:

"Jingtang, how far is Maple Leaf Lake from here?"

"Maple Leaf Lake..."

Ye Jingtang turned his eyes and looked at the wilderness and thought about it for a moment:

"It's about two hundred miles away from here. Does the Queen Mother want to visit?"

The Queen Mother had seen Maple Leaf Lake from the Secret History of Queen Mary. It was probably the first time the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother came to Liangzhou after they eloped. The two of them were in the sea of ​​red maples, where the sky was a quilt and the ground was a bed. The scenery was extremely beautiful, and they would definitely go to Liangzhou. Wanting to go, she hesitated and said:

"I heard that the scenery there is pretty good. Is it a convenient way? If not, forget it. I just mentioned it casually."

This trip to the Night Terror Hall was to send the Queen Mother for medical treatment. After the Queen Mother woke up, although the poison was still there, her complexion was obviously much better. As long as she learned how to bathe in fire, she would be fine. She must be recuperating after the illness to make her happy. Lord. He smiled and said:

"The general direction is the same, but the route is a little bit to the west, which is considered a smooth road. When we get to the place where we will stay, the Queen Mother will take a good look."

The Queen Mother's eyes brightened slightly, she bit her lower lip lightly, smiled, and nodded gently.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang didn't say anything more. After saying goodbye, he went back to the campfire and roasted a hare again, and then came to Dabenben's carriage.

——

After discovering clues to the smuggling of corrugated steel during the day, Dongfang Liren, who had just been relaxed, was troubled by troubles again. At this time, after the motorcade stopped, he stayed in the carriage to discuss countermeasures with Meng Jiao:

"This matter is probably very involved. It is impossible for Duke Zhen to liaise with the enemy. If King Liang wants to collaborate with the enemy, he will not just smuggle in scaled steel. Only then can he sell it for a few bucks... I suspect that someone from the Yazhou army is involved." The traitor deceived his superiors and conspired with the Black Flag Gang to dump weapons and weapons on Beiliang..."

"It involves the two states and Beiliang. The scope is too large. We can't get around to investigate at the moment. We can only summon Chen Miao and Tu Jiuji and ask them to go to Yazhou to investigate the matter..."

…

Ye Jingtang came to the door of the carriage with the roasted rabbit. He saw the two of them discussing business, so he didn't go in to disturb them.

Dongfang Liren, who was frowning, raised his eyes when he smelled the fragrance, and found that Ye Jingtang was shaking the roast rabbit outside. He stopped talking and tilted his head and said:

"Meng Jiao, please go and rest first."

"yes."

Meng Jiao stood up and left the carriage.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang jumped on the carriage, came to the carriage, and handed the big shiny roast rabbit to Dongfang Liren:

"It's just baked. Please try it, Your Highness."

Dongfang Liren sat upright on the small couch, picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for Ye Jingtang:

"Let it go for now, I have no appetite now."

"I baked it myself. It doesn't taste good when it gets cold."

Ye Jingtang knew that Dongfang Liren hadn't eaten anything all afternoon. After sitting down in front of him, he bit off a small piece of crispy rabbit meat and brought it to Dongfang Liren:

"uh-huh?"

? ? ?

Dongfang Liren stopped pouring water. He looked around with his peripheral vision, and then sat upright with slightly cold eyes, wanting to say something as fierce as before.

But the two of them had kissed each other many times, and Ye Jingtang had been recovering from her injuries for so many days. Touching her would make her happy for a long time, so a harsh rejection seemed a bit too cruel.

Dongfang Liren thought about it for a moment, but still pulled up the car curtain, then made a disgusted look, and slightly opened his red lips to take the rabbit meat.

What she didn't expect was that as soon as she got closer, the pervert in front of her, who didn't understand the amorous feelings, actually shrank back and swallowed the rabbit meat:

"Hey...hey! I was wrong...ah, it hurts..."

What's Dongfang Liren's temper? How could he endure being teased like this? He immediately pressed up, pressed Ye Jingtang on the backrest, and reached out to pull out the knife. Seeing that Ye Jingtang was in pain, the strength quickly disappeared, and he stared coldly:

"You are so presumptuous! Who do you really think I am, that you can offend me at will?"

Ye Jingtang leaned on the couch and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are unhappy, I was just joking. Come and have something to eat. Don't worry, the Queen Mother, you have exhausted your body again."

"snort……"

Dongfang Liren stared for a moment, then turned his head and took a bite on the roast rabbit, chewed it carefully and said:

"I think you have been holding it in for a long time, and your lust has made you faint. If I had known better, I would have brought Miss Ning'er with you. With her here, you won't be so idle at night."

Ye Jingtang shook his head, smiled, and sat up again:

"It's just a joke. I didn't take advantage of His Highness. How can I say that I'm so horny? It's really boring to be a escort outside. I used to pass the time by reading. How are you preparing the gift Your Highness gave me?"

Dongfang Liren left the capital and stayed in the carriage the whole time. When he had nothing to do, he naturally prepared gifts in the Night Terror Hall.

At this time, Ye Jingtang asked, Dongfang Liren's eyes moved, he took out a stack of papers from the small drawer next to him, and placed it on the small table:

"It's almost finished. It's the only one in the world. Don't let me paint it for you a second time."

Ye Jingtang's eyes narrowed and he quickly returned to his usual stern expression. His girlfriend stopped feeding him and handed Benben the roast rabbit to eat by herself. Then he took a hand towel and wiped his hands carefully.

? ?

Dongfang Liren took the roasted rabbit and took a deep breath, causing the fat-headed dragon to cry out and gritted his teeth:

"Would you like me to light another piece of sandalwood for you?"

"That's not necessary. I'm not that particular."

Ye Jingtang straightened his clothes and picked up the paper. Like a stern general handling military affairs late at night, he carefully picked up the paper and looked at it.

"..."

Dongfang Liren rolled his eyes slightly and ate the roasted rabbit for a while. Seeing Ye Jingtang's eyes fixed on him as if he was intoxicated, he couldn't bear it anymore. Finally he put the things down and narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly showing murderous intent.

Ye Jingtang was observing the immersive painting work. Halfway through, he noticed that there was a chill around him, so he turned his head and looked at it, and then apologized:

"I'm sorry, His Highness is a very good painter, and he was a little absorbed in what he was looking at. I went out to take a look, so as not to disturb His Highness's rest."

He said and prepared to get up with something.

?

Dongfang Liren was naturally annoyed when he saw this. He raised his hand to snatch the album and hid it behind his back:

"What do you mean? You think the picture album is more important than me. In order to read the picture album, you can put me aside?"

Ye Jingtang quickly shook his head: "How could it be? I must like the picture album carefully prepared by His Highness, but Your Highness will not accompany me to read it. If I get the picture album, I will throw it aside without even looking at it and just chat with His Highness. Your Highness Wouldn’t it make you think that your good intentions are just like a donkey’s liver and lungs?”

Dongfang Liren blinked his eyes and felt that this statement made sense. He then said:

"Why can't I look at my paintings with you? With your little skills in calligraphy and painting, can you understand the art in the paintings?"

Ye Jingtang was quite interested in this matter and sat closer to wait and see:

"I just think it's good. I really don't understand some parts. Your Highness, why don't you give me some advice?"

Dongfang Liren snorted lightly, took out the erotic album again, and asked coldly:

"You can't understand that one? You are not allowed to point to paintings that are not suitable for the table. You are only allowed to ask questions about the painter."

Ye Jingtang smiled, raised his right hand around Cunben's lower back, put her in his arms, turned over the paper with his hands, found the page where the heroic lady was injured, and gestured to her figure:

"The pictures of beauties in other albums are all more floating. You can feel the artistic conception, but you can't feel the impact of the figure. Look at this one, when you press the hem of your clothes with your hands, you can obviously feel the tension and voluptuousness..."

Dongfang Liren's face was actually a little red, but his eyes were full of pride:

"This is what I have researched myself. I use light and dark shadows and lines to draw a three-dimensional effect on the paper. Even the master can't do this..."

"Yeah, it's really amazing... There must be a reference for such a painting, right? How did His Highness draw it?"

"..."

Dongfang Liren blinked his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then solved Ye Jingtang's doubts. He raised his hand to take a mirror from the side and placed it on the small case in front of him. Then he raised his hand to hold down the fat-headed dragon, and his five fingers fell into a sensual feeling. In the group:

"that's all."

"oh……"

Ye Jingtang suddenly realized it, looked at the drawing paper carefully, and then turned the paper to the page of Shuangjiao presenting peach:

"Is this also looking in the mirror?"

"you!"

Dongfang Liren's face turned red. He felt that this pervert was unreasonable and wanted to go back and deal with the night terror.

Ye Jingtang, on the other hand, quickly grabbed Dongfang Liren and said pleasantly:

"I'm just curious, just kidding, how could His Highness pose like this and look in the mirror in private? I read the painting carefully and don't talk nonsense. Your Highness, please keep your voice down and be careful not to be overheard by outsiders."

Dongfang Liren was hugged very tightly, and after struggling twice, he couldn't break away, so he let it go. He gritted his teeth secretly and continued to explain the knowledge of calligraphy and painting that Ye Jingtang didn't pay attention to at all.

Ye Jingtang initially hugged her and looked at her, but later she felt the posture was a bit tiring, so she leaned on the armrest of the couch instead.

And Dongfang Liren was also pulled into his arms. Although his eyes changed a bit, he didn't say anything in the end...
