Seven days passed by in a flash. Yang Ji bid farewell to his relatives and embarked on the road to Liangzhou. He was accompanied by the general manager, a thousand soldiers, and domestic slaves and maids. The items Gongsun Huan prepared for him turned out to be There were as many as a hundred cars, and the mighty procession stretched for miles, like ants moving.
Accompanying him were Zhang Xutuo, the military commander of the general administration, Yin Shishi as a soldier, Yang Shanhui as a civil servant, Xiao Yu as a punishment officer, Liu Xuan as a military officer, Wei Yunqi as a rite officer, Yu Shinan as an official officer, and Wang Cong as a service officer. …
In addition, there are many officials of the prince's palace, including Sima Li Jing, subordinate Li Datong, Zhu Bo Zhengben of the Song Dynasty, Su Quan who consulted and participated in military affairs, Xue Ju who participated in military affairs in Bingcao, Shi Huaiyi who participated in military affairs in cavalry, Li Daliang who participated in recording office and recorded affairs. Liu Tongren (the second son of Liu Fang) who joined the army, Dugu Pingyun who joined the army and others.
The former are officials assigned to the imperial court; the latter are Yang Ji's personal staff, who are nominated and recommended by him, and then appointed by the imperial court. These private staff also have court rank, and are somewhat similar to Li Shimin's subordinate officials in the Tiance Mansion. The implication is that Using the imperial salary to do things for Yang Ji, having these subordinate officials also meant that Yang Ji could open his own shogunate.
The public and private teams combined to form a fairy-like team.
Among them, there was also a person who made Yang Ji extremely unhappy, and that was Gao Jiong, the chief steward of the palace.
The old bastard didn't know what kind of enchanting soup he poured into Yang Guang, but he actually convinced Yang Guang and took the initiative to recommend him as a long history, and Yang Jian actually agreed. The father and son in turn persuaded Yang Ji not to be biased, saying that one old man in a family is like another. Words like treasure.
The truth is correct. After all, Gao Jiong was a prime minister. He could run the army at will and run the country at will. Now that he is in charge of civil affairs, Yang Ji, the general manager, must play a very important role. easy.
In addition to the position of Chang Shi, Gao Jiong also has another position that has not been announced to the public for the time being, that is, the Western Region Envoy who is responsible for the affairs of the Western Regions. His responsibilities are exactly the same as Chang Sun Sheng's Turkic Envoy.
The mission he accepted was closely related to that of Yang Ji. Yang Ji was responsible for taking down the Yiwu Kingdom and cutting off the connection between the Western Turks and Tuyuhun, while Gao Qiong was to contact the countries in the Western Regions and the Tieleqibi tribe to politically isolate Tuyuhun. , creating conditions for the Sui Dynasty to have peace in the west and move toward the Western Regions.
Yang Ji almost didn't need to guess, he knew that this was the development strategy proposed by Gao Jiong to Yang Guang, and that transferring Gao Jiong to Liangzhou and even the Western Regions would be a good thing for Yang Guang and Gao Jiong, so the two Yin people hit it off and put aside their personal grudges. , moving towards reconciliation,
This is indeed in line with the interests and development direction of the Sui Dynasty, but the problem is that Lao Gao is going to the Western Regions, and he even takes his family to Liangzhou to take care of his daily life; and these so-called family members are neither his wife nor concubines. She is not an ordinary maid, but her daughter Gao Ling. The items that are no less than those of Yang Ji look like Gao Ling's dowry.
In the western suburbs of Daxing, there is a long pavilion ten miles away.
Although Xiao Ying knew that after her fiancé settled down, she would be able to go to Liangzhou to reunite. Although she told herself not to cry or cry, she could only bid farewell to her fiancé with a smile and blessings, but when Yang Ji walked up to her, her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise She held back her tears and said softly: "Mr. Lang is going to Liangzhou, so be sure to take care of yourself. I'll wait for Lang Jun to... send you a letter."
"Okay!" Yang Ji took a closer look at Xiao Ying and found that she was wearing a rare light makeup. Her snow-white skin was as lustrous as jade, her eyes were full of tears, her nose was pretty and her lips were red. Her face glowed with an attractive luster and she looked radiant. She couldn't help but smile and said, "You are already naturally beautiful and as beautiful as a fairy. Why use these vulgar powders?"
Xiao Ying lowered her head shyly and said softly: "It's better that the husband doesn't dislike me."
"I don't love you enough, how can I dislike you?" More than a month is not a long time, and there is no disturbance at all. However, this calm and ordinary warmth makes them quickly change from strangers to a pair of passionate lovers. lovers. The tenderness, thoughtfulness and naughty agility that Xiao Ying often revealed inadvertently made Yang Ji feel like a husband could not ask for anything more than a wife like this.
He gently lifted Xiao Ying's chin, and Xiao Ying raised her head obediently, staring at Ai Lang with affectionate and doubtful eyes.
Yang Ji saw her cute eyes like a frightened deer, looked at her lips so close, and kissed her unexpectedly.
Xiao Ying didn't expect it to come so suddenly. When Ying Chun was captured, her mind went blank. She felt dizzy and her whole body felt numb. She subconsciously wanted to push her with a pair of arms, but when she touched his waist, But it hung down softly.
After the lingering first kiss for a long time, Yang Ji gently straightened his small waist, which was as soft as mud, and said softly: "Xiaoying, wait for my letter."
Xiao Ying's eyes quickly filled with tears. She hugged Yang Ji tightly and said softly: "I'm waiting for you. You must come and pick me up quickly."
"As long as half a year, as little as one season." Yang Ji kissed her forehead again, turned around and walked out of the pavilion.
"Lang Jun, wait." Xiao Ying stopped Yang Ji, struggled to pick up the big baggage on the table, chased after it, and handed it to Yang Ji with both hands: "Lang Jun, these are the clothes, handkerchief, and shoes I made for you. "
At this point, he emphasized: "Even crossbow arrows cannot penetrate the coat and handkerchief. If Langjun goes to war, he can use it as armor, and it is lighter and more comfortable than armor."
Yang Ji took the big baggage and asked with a smile, "Is it true or not?"
"Really." Xiao Ying nodded fiercely as if to increase her credibility: "I tried it. A crossbow can't penetrate it, a knife can't cut it, and a sword can't penetrate it."
"Where did you learn this skill from?" Yang Ji was surprised and happy. There is no need to say much about the outer clothing, and Puff is an ancient vest. If the effect is really as Xiao Ying said, it is simply an ancient bulletproof vest.
A gentle smile appeared in Xiao Ying's eyes: "Didn't Lang Jun say that he wanted to join the army and become a fire chief? I asked specifically about it and heard that there are many sharp broken blades, arrow clusters, and iron caltrops on the battlefield. If The soles of the boots were too thin and could easily pierce the feet, so I made them thicker. But when I was putting the soles in, I used a hammer to hit the awl, but they couldn't penetrate the soles. I thought that if clothes could be made, This way, it is definitely more comfortable and lighter than Mingguang armor. Later, I tried layer upon layer of linen paste, but the cloth was as hard as iron, so I changed it to Shu brocade and white silk. The strange thing is, Shu brocade and white silk It is obviously lighter and softer than linen, but its anti-arrow effect is actually better than that of linen. One layer is enough to withstand five or six layers of linen. The clothes made of Shu brocade and white silk are not only anti-arrow, but also very soft, light and comfortable."
"My dear lady, you have made great achievements." Yang Ji was overjoyed and leaned over and kissed her again.
Xiao Ying blushed with embarrassment: "It's just a few clothes, how can I be praised by your husband?"
Seeing that Xiao Ying invented the 'bulletproof vest' with great affection, but did not realize the value of the 'bulletproof vest', Yang Ji felt moved and amused at the same time, and asked in a low voice: "Who else knows about this?"
Xiao Ying said: "Apart from me, only my maids Qiuyue and Qiu Shui know that the crossbow was secretly borrowed from the guards in the mansion. I am afraid of being scolded and dare not say anything."
Yang Ji laughed and then ordered: "The clothes you made are of great military use. You must not tell anyone about it. It would be terrible if the enemy learns from it."
Xiao Ying only hoped that her lover would be safe, and didn't think so much about it. When she heard what he said, she nodded hurriedly and said, "I won't tell anyone."
Yang Ji thought for a while and then said, "If Aniang returns to Daxing, you can go to her and tell her all the craftsmanship, and she will take care of it."
"I understand!" Xiao Ying saw the maidservants walking over slowly, knowing that they were here to urge Yang Ji, so she held back her tears and forced a smile and said: "Lang Jun, go and join them. , don’t keep everyone waiting.”
