Yang Kang was reborn to Lin Mansion

Chapter 57

The spring is bright outside, and the red flowers and green willows are competing to open.

The procession of seeing off relatives is slowly heading northwest. After more than a month, the chariots and horses have gradually lost sight of many urban farms, only the mountains standing in the distance.

Connecting the sky and the earth as one, this is the boundary. Looking from a distance, Lin Beiyuan saw a stream of clear spring flowing from the mountain, which happened to merge into a small river. The scenery of the lake and mountains added a layer of joy to the team.

The leader of the guards below came over and said, "Master Lin, after crossing the mountain, we will arrive at our army's garrison after walking for two days."

Lin Beiyuan saw that it was getting late, so he ordered to rest at the riverside for the whole night, and set off tomorrow.

The team had already left faster than expected, so everyone was delighted when the order came down. Those who buried the pot made food, and those who set up tents set up tents.

This Lin Beiyuan took two people to look around, the mountain was quite steep, and from a distance, there was only a red patch on the mountain, which looked like a sunset.When I got closer, I realized that it was actually a camellia. I didn't expect such a beautiful flower to bloom so brilliantly in this place where wars are fought all the year round.

But not long after, the married princess Xingyuan sent someone over to invite her.

Speaking of which, Beiyuan and Tanchun have met before, but there is a difference between men and women, and it's just a few words.

Beiyuan had no choice but to go to Tanchun's tent, and when he saw Tanchun, he saluted and said, "I have seen the princess."

That Tanchun was wearing a bright red bridal gown, with a pair of golden phoenix crowns on his head, he was quite majestic, so Tanchun said: "They are all from my own family, so there is no need to be too polite."

Then let the others go down, leaving only the waiter to serve.Then he poured another cup of tea for Lin Beiyuan himself. He had been living and sleeping in the open for a month, so he didn't think this tea would be refreshing.

Na Tanchun said: "I saw that the river was clear, so I asked someone to fetch it and use it to make tea. It's not bad."

Seeing that she was not in a hurry, Bei Yuan was a little annoyed, it was really inconvenient for a man and woman to live in the same room, so he said, "I wonder why the princess came to see me?"

Seeing Beiyuan's indifferent expression, Tanchun just sat on the side and said: "Our two families are also very good, but for some reason, we seldom see each other. I don't know if your sister is okay. I haven't seen her for a long time. She is at home now." Are you still writing poetry?"

Bei Yuan replied: "Princess Xie thought about it, my sister is a housekeeper every day, and she also has to walk and socialize. She is usually very busy, so it must be that she seldom writes poems."

After hearing this, Tanchun smiled and said, "The population in your mansion is simple, so your sister must be in charge."

Hearing this, Bei Yuan only said: "It's getting late, the princess should go to bed early!" After saying this, he was about to leave, and seeing him like this, Tan Chun didn't want to keep him.

Then Beiyuan got out of the tent, arranged for the sergeant who was on duty that night again, took another look at the terrain, and then went back to his tent. This Ding San had boiled the footwashing water for Beiyuan to wash and soak his feet.

After eating some food, Beiyuan first reported the itinerary of the sending team, and then wrote a letter home to Daiyu, saying that everything was fine.

After another two days, they arrived at the garrison of the Great Zhou. From a distance, they saw a leader leading hundreds of soldiers to meet them. Seeing their ragged clothes and bruises on their faces, Lin Beiyuan must have suffered a lot.

Lin Beiyuan got off his horse, and the leader came over and said, "My subordinate Li Chengru has seen Mr. Lin."

Lin Beiyuan said, "Lord Li, don't be too polite." He helped him up, and seeing that he was dressed in rags, he asked, "The imperial court sent someone to appease you, why are you still like this?"

Then Li Chengru sighed and said: "Brothers died, those who were arrested were arrested, and now there are only a few thousand remnants and defeated generals. Those brothers who died also had fathers and villagers at home. We only leave food and grass, and the rest All of them were sent to the relatives of those who died.”

Lin Beiyuan saw that his words were sincere and did not seem to be fake, so he said: "Master Li is really a gentleman."

Then Li Chengru quickly refused and said: "I am just a vanguard official. If adults think of it, you can only call me Chengru."

Lin Beiyuan smiled and said: "Master Li is really bold, you are a few years older than me, why don't I call you Brother Li."

Then Li Chengru is also informal, seeing that although this upstart in the court is handsome in appearance, he speaks and behaves quite like a quack, so he said: "Your Majesty Lin, you are polite."

Naturally, the send-off team was stationed immediately, then Li Chengru took Lin Beiyuan and the others to walk around the grassland, and said: "I have sent someone to inform Ugan Khan, and someone will come to meet him tomorrow."

Lin Beiyuan looked at the place where the troops were stationed. There was no shelter except for a forest, and he said, "I don't understand one thing. This place is not a good place to station troops. Why are they stationed here?"

After hearing this, Li Chengru looked around and said, "Brother Lin, you are so refreshing, I will tell you what's in my heart. Although this place is my Dazhou territory, it's not a good place to garrison troops. I was originally with several generals. He strongly recommended that Hongxia Mountain be called our headquarters, but the king of the county said, "My Dazhou should be advancing at every step. How can we not advance but retreat." How did we know that we were retreating steadily, and now we have retreated to Hongxia Mountain. "

Lin Beiyuan asked: "The Hongxia Mountain is full of camellias at the back?"

Li Chengru said: "Exactly, although the mountain is dangerous, it is a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

Lin Beiyuan said: "It's really good, what do you think of this barbarian's tactics?"

After hearing this, Li Chengru only smiled and said: "There is no tactic, it's just a sneak attack."

Lin Beiyuan asked him to sit down again, Li Chengru was excited to speak, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "The barbarian cavalry is very powerful, they often lead hundreds of cavalry to attack our department repeatedly, and when we recover, they leave again, often You can't sleep well at night."

"Is there no one patrolling at night?" Lin Beiyuan asked.

Li Chengru said: "The barbarians are cunning. Sometimes they attack several times a night, and sometimes they don't attack for several days in a row. However, they are fast and often only harass and set fire. It seems that the losses are very small every day. How do you know that after a few years, It was dragged down to this point by them.”

After hearing this, Lin Beiyuan thought that the barbarians here were similar to the Mongolian soldiers.Then he said, "I don't know how many of them there are?"

Li Chengru said: "Probably less than [-], just a little more."

Lin Beiyuan asked some questions, and told some news about the capital, and the two went back.

As soon as he entered the tent, Ding San took out a box of pastries and said, "Princess Gang just sent a maid to deliver a box of pastries."

When Bei Yuan saw it, he said naturally: "In the future, the princess will send things over, you can just shirk and don't accept any more."

After hearing this, Ding San only said: "The little one is also trying to evade it, but the girl said that her lady brought her out of the mansion, so it can be regarded as thanks to Sir for sending her off."

Along the way, Jia Tanchun showed good intentions from time to time, and his advances and retreats changed from being irrelevant to giving things from time to time. This is really a good hand at seeing the needles.

When the envoy of the Khan came tomorrow, Beiyuan explained a few words to Li Chengru and then set off for that Taiji.

Seeing the envoy walking beside him on a horse, it was very relaxed.The envoy who came saw Bei Yuan looked at him and said with a smile: "Your Han people's horses are no match for our horses."

Beiyuan saw that the horse was strong and bright, and it was indeed a good horse, so he said: "Are all of you horses like this?"

The envoy said: "This horse grows well under the wind and sun on our side, but if it falls to your place, it will be as delicate as your horse."

Just as Bei Yuan was about to speak, the man said again: "Let me tell the truth, don't be angry."

Bei Yuan said: "Just say it."

The man smiled and said, "You Han people are all handsome, unlike us. This is the same as horses."

Bei Yuan was not angry when he heard this, he just said: "You are really telling the truth."

The man laughed and said, "The clothes you Han people make are beautiful and exquisite."

Is this a consolation? Seeing that he was a bit naive, Beiyuan chatted a few more words, that's all.

This made the horse Cheng Kuai, and even the team got up quickly. At this point in the evening, they arrived at Taiji, where the Khan lived.

That night, Khan invited Beiyuan and Princess Xingyuan to a banquet, but Tanchun only sent a girl to say: "Women who are waiting to be married can't go out."

Beiyuan thought, even though he brought five hundred imperial guards with him, it would be difficult to handle in case something happened in his territory, so it would be more appropriate to bring Tanchun in front of him, so he went to invite Tanchun in person, and said: "It's a great honor for Khan to welcome the princess. This barbarian doesn't talk about the defense of men and women in the first place, so the princess doesn't have to be too cautious."

After hearing this, Tanchun thought about it and agreed, changed his clothes and followed Beiyuan.

That Ugan Khan was originally a middle-aged man, with a full beard and dark skin, only showing a pair of bright eyes, seeing Bei Yuan, he only held Bei Yuan's hand and said: "The princess is really beautiful."

As soon as these words came out, several people around lowered their heads and laughed lowly, then Lin Beiyuan pulled out his hand and said: "I'm going down to Lin Beiyuan, he was the little official who sent the princess here."

That Ugan Khan said to Beiyuan with a groan, "Old eyes are dizzy, it's just that Mr. Lin looks better than the most beautiful woman on my side."

Any man who is compared to a woman will not feel at ease. Lin Beiyuan immediately knew that Khan did it on purpose, but he only smiled faintly on this face, pointed to Tanchun behind him and said: "This is Princess Xingyuan .”

When the Khan saw Tanchun, he turned to the apricot garden and said, "It's been hard for the princess to come from such a long distance. Today, I have prepared fine wine and dances for the princess to enjoy." So he invited Tanchun to sit on his right hand.

Lin Beiyuan was sitting on the left side of Khan, and a lot of food was brought up in a short time, but the beef and mutton were just roasted, and there were still traces of blood on it.

The Khan said: "I heard that the meat of your Han people needs to be cooked before eating. I specially asked someone to roast them. It must taste good." He put a piece of meat into his mouth, chewed it twice and said, "It's really good."

The meat was just roasted with salt on the fire, and it smelled like a fishy smell, but Bei Yuan didn't care, so he took a knife beside him, cut a piece and ate it, saying: "This meat is really fresh." very."

When Tanchun saw this thing, he could only endure his nausea, and saw Beiyuan eat it, so he had to imitate that, cut a small piece and put it in his mouth. It is really disgusting to put this half-baked meat in his mouth. Spit, but that Tanchun was so strong that he swallowed it with force.
