It is indeed more fragrant than the tea in the inn.

Such fragrant tea is rare in the palace.

"Prime Minister Wen is really a fastidious person. I was worried that you would be thirsty along the way and needed a place to stay. As a result, Prime Minister Wen still likes his carriage. Sure enough, the decoration in this carriage is very exquisite, and the fragrance of tea is also I don’t know how many times better than the tea just now.”

"Lord Wen, does he know that the people affected by the disaster can't even eat and can't go home? How can they afford a cup of good tea?"

As soon as he said this, Prime Minister Wen placed the tea cup heavily on the table, and the tea overflowed.

"It's important to say this. My wife specially prepared this for me when I was traveling. It would be a waste if I didn't drink it. There are still a few days on the road. If I don't sit comfortably, how can I devote myself to work when I get there? , Besides, I have already followed General Li, which is enough to show my sincerity."

"What does General Li mean by being so aggressive? Are you coveting something?"

Li Yang smiled easily and said: "Master Wen finally told the truth again. It turns out that Master Wen also has troubles. Is he so unsure of his status?"

As soon as these words came out, Prime Minister Wen shut his mouth again.

If you continue talking, you will fall into his trap.

"It turns out that Mr. Wen thinks of us this way."

Prime Minister Wen snorted lightly and turned sideways.

"I wouldn't dare."

The carriage moves.

Seeing that Li Yang still refused to leave and disturbed his enjoyment, he had to ask: "Master Li, isn't he going to ride a war horse? Why do you want to come to my carriage?"

Li Yang replied cheerfully: "Because Mr. Wen's carriage is very spacious, Mr. Wen won't welcome me, right?"

Even if we have to worry about a carriage, how can we talk about taking care of each other?

"That's not enough."

Even if he wasn't welcome, he didn't dare to say anything, which made him miserable.

Li Yang took a nap in the carriage and was a little hungry when he woke up.

It's been a few hours since we started driving, so it's time to take a rest.

I saw Prime Minister Wen also closing his eyes to rest.

"Hao Liu."

"I'm here."

"Where are you now?"

Hao Liu thought for a moment and replied: "It should be near Laoxin Village at the moment."

Li Yang asked: "Is there any inn nearby? It's time for the soldiers to eat their fill."

Hearing this question, Hao Liu frowned, "There is nothing in front of General Li, not even a village. If we go further, it will probably take several hours. I am afraid that the soldiers and horses will not be able to bear it. Do you want to stop and take a rest?”

Li Yang sighed softly. He was afraid of being in trouble when going out.

Unlike Prime Minister Wen, he can get by alone in a carriage.

"Get some rest."

"It's General." Hao Liu responded.

After the team stabilized, Li Yang got off the carriage. The environment here is good, with mountains and water.

Li Yang looked forward and said, "Isn't there a teahouse in front of you? You should be able to make some food."

"General Li's teahouse is in a dilapidated state. I'm afraid it may not be open anymore."

The flying flag was also broken, and there were even dilapidated areas on the wall.

"Then let's cook on the spot."

They themselves brought food for the journey, and after giving the order, the soldiers began to cook.

Li Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "Prime Minister Wen, don't just sit around. Do you want to go down to the river to catch fish together?"

He snorted softly and said: "I am a prime minister, why would I go down to the river to catch fish?"

Li Yang knew that he would put on airs. Before going to the south, Li Yang had to remove his airs.

General Chen said: "Prime Minister Wen, please don't forget that His Majesty said at that time that you must obey General Li's orders on this journey."

"Nonsense, aren't there so many supplies?" Prime Minister Wen said anxiously.

"Those are disaster relief grains. It's good to leave a little more for the people. Who knows how serious the situation is over there. Maybe there will be a lot more people affected by the disaster." General Chen said.

At this time, whatever Prime Minister Wen said was wrong, so it was better not to say anything.

Li Yang then ordered: "If Prime Minister Wen is not willing to go down to the river to catch fish, then go and collect some firewood nearby."

In order to leave this place of right and wrong, he asked his servants to accompany him.

"I think he did it on purpose."

"What I'm saying is that General Li has gone too far. He dared to order me around." The servant also said angrily.

"Supposedly your position is higher than his, so why should you obey his orders?"

It was at this time that some bandits showed up.

Several people were holding sharp knives, "It looks like someone's master looks like this. It's a good day. He is really lucky."

They walked slowly towards Prime Minister Wen, "Hand over all your valuables, maybe we can spare your life."

Seeing the leader's eyes shining brightly, it was like a beast seeing meat.

He looked up and down at Prime Minister Wen. He was wearing splendid clothes, with a green thumb ring on his hand, and a jade pendant hanging around his waist. He was simply worth a lot of money. Not to mention a few days' worth of drinks, the money he had spent in the past few years was worth a lot of money. Enough is spent.

"Wait a minute, let me see if any of you dare to get close, do you know who I am?"

Prime Minister Wen scolded, and his calm demeanor also frightened these bandits.

On this trip, he only took one person with him, and he was forced to have such courage.

"We are adults sent to provide disaster relief. If you dare to attack me, it will be a capital offense."

He thought that his identity could suppress the bandits. What he didn't know was that instead of being afraid, these bandits became even more crazy.

The road bandits laughed and said, "You are still an adult. You will definitely get good goods today. Please hand over the money quickly."

Just when he was afraid, Li Yang showed up with his men, fought with these road bandits, and quickly stopped them.

Li Yang asked, "Master Wen, are you okay?"

Being rescued by Li Yang, Mr. Wen was not grateful, but more angry. If he hadn't let him go out to work, would he have met these road bandits.

"General Li, if anything happens to me, I will definitely file a complaint against you to His Majesty."

"Lord Wen is really petty. Nothing goes smoothly when he goes out. It is normal to encounter road bandits. Hasn't Lord Wen been rescued and safe? If Lord Wen is worried about this matter, then as a prime minister, it is really Are you able to withstand the pressure?"

"Are you questioning my lord?"

"No, but sure."

Prime Minister Wen had to keep his temper steady. He really had to rely on Li Yang along the way, so he couldn't openly face difficulties.

"Okay, let's just assume that my lord has encountered such things rarely, so I don't have much experience. I would like to thank General Li for coming to the rescue. I will have to rely on General Li on this road."

Suddenly, Prime Minister Wen's temperament improved a lot.
