In two days, for ordinary people, the injury will naturally not heal, and for Zheng Fan, this is indeed the case.
However, after two days of extra time to recuperate, I can barely wear armor, but I am just acting like a showman. It is almost impossible to draw a sword and go up to do it.
"It shouldn't be a big problem. After all, Marquis Jingnan should be heavily guarded on his way back to the capital. Nothing could happen..."
"Silence!"
Blind Bei directly blocked Liang Cheng’s next words.
"Why have you become so superstitious?" Liang Cheng said.
“I won’t take it seriously when others tell you nonsense, but you have no idea who you are?
The gypsy witch with the crystal ball has no idea of seniority. I have to call you Grandmaster."
"I want to go with you," Liang Cheng said.
"Don't think about it. If you go, who will be in charge of the barbarians in this fortress?" Blind Bei once again rejected Liang Cheng's words.
"What about me?" Fan Li pointed at his face.
"At home, someone has to chop wood, otherwise there won't be enough water to boil the bath." Blind Bei also rejected Fan Li.
"Oh, okay." Fan Li nodded, feeling that what the blind man said made sense.
Actually, it’s good that Fan Li, a tough guy, has someone to take care of him. Once no one takes care of him, it’s easy to cause trouble. He can scare several other demon kings at home. Well, if I go to the capital and cause any trouble, it will be really difficult to deal with.
A Ming stood on the edge with a subtle and elegant smile on his face.
He and Siniang will go to the capital with their lord this time. To be honest, there is really not much that they and Siniang need to do. Bingwei will most likely not be with him for food and accommodation. The reason why he goes together is to leave someone who can be called upon in case something happens.
Of course, the biggest advantage of this is that if something unexpected happens, he and Siniang can still do something in the capital. At the very least, they can be mentally prepared.
Unlike the four people who stayed in Cuiliu Castle, they always had to think about whether they would die suddenly while eating, sleeping, or going to the toilet.
After experiencing several dangers, the demon kings have already had psychological shadows about their sudden death.
"So, you still haven't told the Lord about the fact that the recovery of our strength is linked to the Lord's strength?"
Blind Bei shook his head and said: "Again Wait, wait for the Lord to come back from the capital. This matter should be very important, so don’t let the Lord be distracted."
A Ming smiled "haha",
Said:
"You called A Cheng to be gay, but you have already done it for the second time. In the movie, it is just like waiting for him to come back and I will confess to her. I basically can't wait for him to come back." ."
"A negative is a positive." The blind man is shameless.Said shamelessly.
You are blind, whatever you say makes sense.
"Okay, Siniang and the Master are out, you can go with them."
Hearing this, A Ming made a very gentlemanly gesture to the blind man and others. Western ceremony,
said:
"Well, goodbye everyone."
…………
Last time I went by carriage This time, we were riding horses in Nanwang City. Although the sun was shining brightly in the winter morning, the temperature was still very low. However, by the time we reached the foot of Nanwang City, Zheng Fan was already dripping with sweat, and his body was still very weak.
At the city gate, Zheng Fan separated from Siniang and A Ming, and entered the city alone, entering the house where Marquis Jingnan lived.
Not long after the announcement, Zheng Fan saw Du Juan walking over, with two maids behind him. The maid held a set of Jingnan Army standard armor in her hands.
The Yan Kingdom is still dark, but the ordnance of each local army has its own characteristics. Let’s not talk about the details. In terms of feeling, the armor of the Zhenbei Army looks darker, as if it is covered by the desert sand. Give it a layer of frosting.
The armor of the Jingnan Army appears brighter, more energetic and attractive, but because of this, it lacks a real evil spirit.
"Master Zheng, please go take a shower and change clothes first."
"Well..."
Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment. Forget about changing into military uniforms. This is a reasonable thing, but you still have to take a shower?
Do all Jingnan troops love cleanliness so much?
But do as the Romans do. Besides, Zheng Fan also likes to take a bath.
It's just that when you take a bath at home, your four mothers take care of you, and occasionally you take a bubble bath to relax your muscles.
In the Hou Mansion, the servants only do it for you. When the hot water comes, I have to wash it myself.
After taking a bath and taking out his armor, Zheng Fan found that the soldiers in the Hou Mansion were lining up neatly to leave the palace, obviously about to set off.
Zheng Fan originally wanted to pull someone to ask where the Marquis's personal guards were, and he had to report it. Who knew that just as he was about to pull someone, he heard footsteps coming from behind him. When he turned around, he saw it was Du Juan again.
"Master Zheng, get on the Marquis's carriage."
"..." Zheng Fan.
After taking a shower, changing clothes, and then getting into the Marquis's carriage, Zheng Fan thought he was normal and felt that the Marquis was also normal, but he still had a strange feeling.
But in the end, Zheng Fan still got on the carriage. If there was a carriage, it was better to take the carriage. His current body could not bear the jolting of horses for several days.
The carriage is still the same carriage as last time, but this time there is no brazier inside the carriage. Instead, there is a bookcase with a lot of books on it.
After Zheng Fan got on the carriage, Marquis Jingnan did not raise his head and just focused on the matter at hand.
After a while, Du Juan also got on the carriage, sat beside Marquis Jingnan, and accompanied Marquis Jingnan to deal with the papers.
It was good that no one greeted Zheng Fan. Zheng Fan did not stupidly keep kneeling. Instead, he faced outside the carriage, leaned against the wall of the carriage, squinted his eyes, and began to take a nap.
However, as we traveled, taking a nap gradually became a luxury.
Next to the carriage, knights would approach from time to time, and Dujuan would hand out the folds that had been processed, or receive newly delivered folds.
This carriage is completely a mobile office.
Du Juan didn't let her help, so Zheng Fan didn't take the initiative to do anything and continued to stick to the car wall as his "door god".
After nightfall, the team began to set up camp and did not choose to stay in a city.
What surprised Zheng Fan was that not only did he get a ride in the car, but he also got a meal together.
The food is pretty good. It seems that Marquis Jingnan is not a sweet potato enthusiast. There are two portions of stir-fry and one portion of stew.
Three pairs of bowls and chopsticks, Jingnanhou, Dujuan and Zheng Fan.
Eating with a big shot is a kind of "reward". Ancient emperors liked to use "meal reservation" to show their favor. In fact, it is the same in later generations. Being able to sit at the same table and eat is a good thing for the subordinates. It is a gift in itself to the reader.
After the meal, the team continued to move forward without choosing to rest.
The carriage was lit with candles. Marquis Jingnan did not work anymore, but was reading a book.
Zheng Fan doesn’t know exactly what book it is. There are hundreds of schools of thought in this world, as well as Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and other cultures. However, it seems that at some time in the past, some changes have occurred in this world. , resulting in a historical trend that Zheng Fan was unfamiliar with.
Cuckoo was waiting for tea and some dried fruits and preserved fruits.
Jingnan Hou put down his book and said to Zheng Fan:
"Eat."
"If I go back to the Marquis, I don't like to eat this in my humble position."
p>
This is not polite. In Zheng Fan's last life, there were really not many young people who liked eating this kind of fruit plate.
Jingnan Hou didn’t say anything more. He held the book in his left hand and continued reading. From time to time, he picked up two dried fruits with his right hand and put them into his mouth to chew slowly.
Zheng Fan felt that after he became famous in the future, he would also let Xue San make this carriage for him. He would sit in it and read a book, while his fourth mother would add fragrance to her red sleeves next to her, and then two or three kittens would They are only responsible for being trembling down there.
"If you are sleepy, sleep here. You are injured and can't stay up late."
Huh?
Sleeping on the carriage?
After putting on the special armor of the guards, Zheng Fan had not yet reported to the guards. He had been taken in the car and treated like an accompanying eunuch.
Let’s make peace with it now.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your consideration."
Zheng Fan stopped being polite and lay on his side in the carriage, trying to make the space for himself as small as possible.
I closed my eyes and started counting sheep.
…………
This situation lasted for several more days. Except for the team stopping for a short period of time in the morning, noon and evening to rest, the team was marching day and night the rest of the time.
The knights all have one person and two horses, and they take turns sleeping on the horse's back.
To be honest, Zheng Fan has only seen this scene from his own barbarian soldiers. Therefore, no matter how much he mentions that this Jingnan army has not been truly tempered by the fire of war, it is definitely an elite force. .
The next morning, the team marched to Tiantai County, which is a county outside the capital. If you leave Tiantai County and continue north, you can say that the capital is in sight.
The team stayed here for a while, and everyone began to clean themselves up. This is basically an established rule. No matter which team, they all stop to clean themselves up before entering the capital.
Zheng Fan also took a bath. At this moment, he was really glad that he had taken a bath in the Hou Mansion before setting off to Nanwang City. Otherwise, he would not be able to take a bath for several days. It will be even more uncomfortable for him.
Feeling refreshed after taking a shower, Zheng Fan stood by the carriage and waited for the team to start again.
But he saw Marquis Jingnan coming slowly, riding a ferocious beast and wearing gilded armor.
Marquis Jingnan raised the whip in his hand and pointed at Zheng Fan. ,
asked:
"Can you ride a horse?"
"Go back to the Marquis, no problem."
The horse on the carriage Although these days have been boring, my body has also recovered a lot of energy.
Zheng Fan got on his horse and followed behind Marquis Jingnan. The team started again. The knights of Jingnan Army also showed their best spirit.
From the distance of the city wall of the capital to the city gate, seven waves of people came here to greet and report. At the same time, below the south gate of the capital, the Minister of Rites led a hundred people on behalf of the emperor. Officials welcomed Marquis Jingnan into the capital.
Flags were fluttering, forbidden troops stood in large numbers, and there were crowds of people watching the excitement outside.
For a hundred years, Zhenbei and Jingnan have been the two major Optimus Stones in the north and south of Dayan, and they have an irreplaceable influence in the hearts of the people of Dayan.
Although the Zhenbei Hou family lineage has steadily suppressed the Jingnan Hou in terms of influence, real power and even inheritance, this generation of Jingnan Hou is the younger brother of the queen and the current Holy Lord. Brother-in-law, your status is priceless.
Zheng Fan, who was following Marquis Jingnan, witnessed with his own eyes what it means to be domineering and what it means to be... a true nobleman.
According to etiquette procedures, the Minister of Rites stepped forward to lead the horse, but was frightened by the beast's snort and did not dare to step forward.
The Marquis of Jingnan laughed loudly, without giving any instructions to the Minister of Rites. At the same time, he waved his hand to signal the Jingnan troops around him to follow him into the city.
Obviously there are still many rituals to be completed, but Marquis Jingnan chose not to cooperate.
The road into Tian Mansion from the south gate has been cleared by the imperial army, and the leaders have blocked the road when traveling. This has been a tradition since ancient times.
Dan JingNanhou deliberately stopped the beast under his crotch and waved behind him.
Zheng Fan immediately rode forward and came to Jingnanhou's side.
"Are you hungry?"
In Tiantai County, everyone was just washing themselves, but not eating.
"I'm hungry when I return to the Marquis."
"Is this your first time in the capital?"
"Yes, Marquis."
"Tell me, what do you want to eat."
"Master Hou, I heard that the roast duck at Quande Building in Beijing is the most famous."
Jingnan Hou looked sideways at Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan stuck out his tongue and licked his lips seriously.
Jingnan Hou pondered for a moment,
ordered:
“Go to Quande Tower.”
…………< /p>
Quande Building is once again popular.
The last time Quande Building became famous was when the Marquis of Zhenbei came to Beijing and ate several ducks at his house.
This time,
when Marquis Jingnan entered the capital, he went to Quande Building to eat duck first before entering Tianfu or the palace.
The two top honors of Yan, South and North are all given work by this Quande Restaurant. I believe that from now on, Quande Restaurant will become a must-eat for outsiders when they come to Beijing. A restaurant.
The Marquis did not pay a private visit incognito, but had just come from the south city gate, and all his soldiers were brought with him, so it was natural for him to clear the building.
A famous soldier entered the Quande Building and carried out strict security.
Zheng Fan followed Jingnanhou directly to the second floor and sat in the box.
Actually, there is no need for a box at all, because the entire Quande Building now has only one guest, Marquis Jingnan.
Jingnanhou sat and Zheng Fan stood.
The waiter from Quande Building first served tea and some appetizers.
Zheng Fan acted as the translator:
"Go down and hurry up and serve the food quickly. Don't keep the Marquis waiting!"
"The villain knows, the villain knows."
The waiter was so frightened by Zheng Fan that his legs trembled,
"The roast duck is here!!!"
< p>A young man wearing a plain robe with an apron tied around his waist came over carrying a roast duck.Zheng Fan didn't pay attention at first. After looking at it a few more times, his eyes immediately stared. Who is this guy if he's not the Sixth Prince?
Obviously, Marquis Jingnan also recognized the Sixth Prince.
But he is of the same generation as Emperor Yan, so unless the Prince of the East Palace has the title of Crown Prince to rely on, it is actually appropriate for the other princes to serve him tea and water.
And even if the second prince takes over the East Palace in the future, he probably won’t dare to show off in front of his uncle, who has real power.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, the duck has been ready for a long time, but this duck took my nephew a lot of effort.
This duck, duck choice, wallThe control of the oven, pickling, heat, etc. are all preliminary lessons. In fact, there is the most important part, which is how to slice the duck after it comes out of the oven.
Others, my nephew is worried. This is made by your nephew himself. You can try it. ”
Jingnan Hou nodded, picked up a piece of duck meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
In ancient times, the aunt’s mother was respected, and the children of concubines had to call their father’s wife. As a mother, if you follow some rules, the children of your concubines or concubines cannot call you your mother-in-law. They must call you your aunt.
Jingnanhou is the biological brother of the empress, and the empress is naturally the prince. Therefore, in name, Marquis Jingnan is the uncle of all the princes.
But except for the second prince, the other princes would at most respectfully call out "Marquis Jingnan" when meeting Jingnan Marquis. They won’t call me uncle because they want to lose face.
“Uncle, does it taste good? Haha, thank you uncle for sponsoring the signboard of my nephew's shop. This is Wuchuan peach blossom wine from Qianguo. As the saying goes, Wuchuan's fine wine makes Hengzhou's ink. You can use this to relieve greasiness.
Of course, uncle, if you are interested, your nephew Mo from Hengzhou is also ready. My nephew is looking forward to you leaving a painting of calligraphy to my nephew's shop. "
"Li Liangting ate duck at your place, did he leave a message? "
Jingnan Marquis asked.
"Oh, uncle, don't mention it. The old man, the Marquis of Zhenbei, came to my place and ate five ducks in one go. The shopkeeper went up to ask for a picture with a shy face, but the old man, Marquis of Zhenbei, used my fine Shangjing paper to wipe his hands, and scolded me that the paper in the shop was too hard and couldn't be wiped clean. ”
“Haha.
"Uncle, you eat first. There will be a duck soup later. It's cold today, so my nephew asked them to serve it later. This is a corn tortilla, and it's attached to the stove." It's baked inside and has a crispy texture. You can try it too. ”
“I’m determined. ”
“Isn’t it right for a nephew to respect his uncle? It is a nephew’s duty to make you eat well, drink and stay warm. "
Speaking, the Sixth Prince finally straightened up and said to a circle of soldiers around him:
"Come on, two of you, and I will go to the kitchen to bring out the ducks. Brothers will come from the south. Coming all the way, I have to try our Quande Restaurant. ”
Jingnan Marquis picked up the wine glass, took a sip and nodded.
Zheng Fan and the other two guards followed the Sixth Prince downstairs to the kitchen. The scholar took five or six roast ducks wrapped in lotus leaves and went out to share them, while Zheng Fan stayed behind.
The sixth prince turned around and looked at Zheng Fan, looking up and down carefully. After looking it over,
“What’s wrong? Zheng Fan asked.
"Emotions are brewing to win people's hearts." "
"Oh, you go on. "
After a while,
the Sixth Prince's eyes suddenly sparkled,
he said:
"Brother, you Why are you so thin and so haggard?But I feel so distressed..."
"My good brother! "
"..." The Sixth Prince.
"Zheng Fan, let me tell you, you have been walking around in the south, but why do you feel that you haven't changed at all? "
Zheng Fan reached out and brushed the ash from the sixth prince's hair,
and said:
"You really roasted the duck yourself? "
"Isn't it? We were preparing it early in the morning. "
"Then you and Marquis Jingnan are really close. ”
“That’s not true. I have been close to Marquis Jingnan since I was a child. ”
“Really, what kind of intimacy method is there? ”
“He led his troops to massacre my grandfather’s whole family. Does that count?” ”
