We got married, and it was already August.
Ren Ning went to the Ministry of War and asked, confirming that the Starfall Legion had followed the emperor's order and departed from the Yankuo Fortress and headed south.
Back home, Ren Ning looked at Lei Er, who was leaning on Ben Lei and chewing bones: "The legion has set off. We don't have to go west to the fortress. We can go directly south, and finally meet up with the legion outside Zhennan Pass."
Lei Er nodded, walked to the table and looked at the Yunchui map.
"Are we going all the way south on horseback, or are we taking a boat along the Xinglan Grand Canal eastward to Sulan City, and then heading straight to Baihua County from the sea?"
Riding a horse is tiring; taking a boat is easy, but it takes a long detour and takes a relatively long time.
"Isn't Ben Lei seasick?" Ren Ning said.
The water in the canal was relatively stable, but even chasing the wind was unbearable. It will probably be even more uncomfortable when you reach the bumpy sea in the east.
Lei Er straightened his neck, remembering this incident, and was suddenly so depressed that he couldn't speak.
This was the first time in his life that he had visited the capital city, and he had not been to Sulan City, the famous economic center, so he wanted to stop by and have a look.
It's a pity that the two horses can't stand it.
"When are you leaving?" Yingpan came over with flower water.
Ren Ning and Ren Ning looked at each other and said, "We have to leave early tomorrow morning."
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, the two of them put on their equipment and saluted, and prepared to go out.
"I had this wolf tooth consecrated by Master Hong, the abbot of Longshou Temple. According to the custom of Xiliang, wearing it can turn evil into good luck." Ren Ning put the wolf tooth into Yingpan's hand, "At home, Use your money as you please, but if your servants disobey, they will all be sold."
"When I come back next time, I can hang the General's Mansion on my doorstep."
"I believe it!" Yingpan smiled and nodded, but she put the wolf tooth back into Ren Ning's hand.
"How can I be in danger under the emperor's feet? But you are not smart when you go out, so you should pay more attention to safety."
"Besides." She giggled and took out her wolf fang, "I also have a wolf fang, and it's a love token you gave me. Just take it with you."
Ren Ning didn't say much, hugged the girl in front of him, got on his horse and went out with Lei Er.
When they reached the entrance of the alley, Xiao Gang was waiting for them with a smile, carrying his luggage and leading a white horse.
"Can you join the army?" Ren Ning asked.
"Of course." Xiao Gang laughed, mounted his horse and followed.
No matter how poor the Zhongyong Count's mansion is, and no longer welcome by the royal family, it is still the Earl's mansion. One of the richest families in the empire. Ju said that Zhongyong Bo Xiao Zheng was trying hard to marry his legitimate daughter to the third prince Chen Xiuzhu.
Furthermore, they are from a family of military commanders. If they want their second son to go to the military camp to gain experience, or get a bonus, they can just go to the Ministry of War and mention it.
"Let's talk about it first. If you come with us, there won't be a servant to serve you, Mr. Xiao. You have to do everything yourself. It's common to eat and sleep in the open." Ren Ning said the ugly words in advance.
cut!
Xiao Gang cut him off, "Do you really think that I, Xiao Gang, am Uncle Cheng En's Sun Ye?"
Last time at Prince Qin's Mansion, Ren Ning knocked out Sun Ye with one move and knocked out two of his front teeth.
The news seemed to have grown wings and spread throughout the entire imperial capital that day.
For a time, Third Young Master Sun's front teeth and title of Sword God became a joke. Even the girl who was planning to discuss marriage was silent.
Sun Ye felt ashamed and angry after waking up. The boy who had grown up with him had both of his calves broken on the spot.
Now I am living a life of "eating and sleeping in the open air".
For the noble sons of the imperial capital, leaving the blossoming imperial capital to recuperate in the suburbs of Zhuangzi is almost like sleeping in the open air.
However, Uncle Cheng En always knew the basics and always said that he was willing to accept defeat in a fair competition, but he didn't even touch Ren Ning.
The three of them chatted and laughed and rushed to Xingji West Pier and boarded the passenger ship.
They will still take a boat all the way to the southeast along the Xinglan Grand Canal, and then get off the boat and take the land route when they arrive in Hanoi County.
The passenger ship arrived at Luofeng Mountain the next day.
Ren Ning came out on the deck to get some air, and when he looked at the rice fields to the east of the canal, he found that everything there was as usual, with no scouts or careful signs.
"This Luofeng Mountain is the hometown of Yunchui's first queen..."
Ren Ning turned around and looked.
Coincidentally, the "tour guide" Hu Dazui he met when he returned to the imperial capital last time was still chatting endlessly explaining the customs and customs on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to tourists.
Ren Ning squeezed through and threw over five taels of broken silver.
He pointed to the fields on the east bank, "Your Excellency, you are called a know-it-all? I don't believe it! Then tell me who owns these fields?"
Hu Dazui was stunned and looked over suspiciously.
Ren Ning stood calmly and let Hu Dazui look at him.
When people get married, their temperaments change.
Moreover, when he boarded the ship from the imperial capital, his armor was clean and fresh, and he looked like a general. It would be impossible for Hu Dazui to recognize him when he was so tired.
Sure enough, Hu Dazui threw the broken silver in his hand haha.
"Young General, you have asked the right person. Lao Hu happens to know who owns the land on these two banks." He used the same rhetoric as before.
Ren Ning narrowed his eyes coldly.
"Do you think... I am easy to fool? Just now you said that Luofeng Mountain is the hometown of the first empress Yunchui. The empress is so noble, how could the land in her hometown become the Taishi Mansion?"
Hu Dazui looked even more proud.
"This young master doesn't know something. Luofeng Mountain is not a small mountain. More than 600 years ago, when the empress ascended the throne of Feng, the land in her hometown was indeed granted to the first Uncle Cheng'en."
"But then the empress gave birth to a legitimate princess. When the princess grew up, she married the legitimate son of the Taishi Mansion. This field by the canal was part of the princess's dowry. It was given by her grandfather."
Speaking of this, Hu Dazui suddenly became mysterious.
"Because of this princess, the main line of the Taishi Mansion has royal blood. It is said that there was an unwritten rule in the Ren family's family rules. Do you know what it is?"
The tourists were most curious about the anecdotes of these wealthy families, and stretched their necks one after another, "What are the rules?"
"Well, Lao Hu, I've been talking about it for a long time and my mouth is dry. Why don't we leave it until tomorrow?"
The tourists were all stupid, and they put one coin after another into Hu Dazui's hand. Even Ren Ning threw in a tael of silver.
"Thank you, young master, and thank you fellow villagers for supporting me." After collecting the money and whetting the appetite of the tourists, Hu Dazui continued cheerfully.
"This unwritten rule is that the head of the Ren family is not allowed to marry the royal family."
"Why is it called unwritten?" Hu Dazui paused.
"The Tian Family has its own majesty. Although the Grand Master's Palace is high and powerful, it is not easy to blatantly say that our sons and daughters are not allowed to marry the royal family. So it is not marked in the family rules. But according to me, Hu Dazui After investigation, it was found that since these farms changed their surname to Ren, the Taishi Mansion has indeed not been married to the royal family."
"Is it interesting?" Lei Er and Xiao Gang came over with strange expressions.
Although Ren Ning had exterminated the Ren family, it was a bit strange to inquire about the past of the Ren family.
