Poor Prince Nie became the medicine used by the Queen Mother to regulate her body and mood. After squeezing it dry, it naturally turned into medicine dregs.
In fact, the Queen Mother was not so coquettish before, she was more naive and timid.
But after having sex with Nie Chen several times, she truly liked this man who could give her a sense of security.
In addition, Nie Chen will be leaving in two days, so the Queen Mother naturally wants to ask for more, lest in the future she wants but cannot get it, and can only stay alone in the empty boudoir, missing endlessly.
After Nie Chen rested in the pavilion for a while, he saw Weng Qiuchan coming from outside.
"Sister-in-law is gone?"
"Well, let's go. She still has to catch up with the army and go with the army."
"Then let's go back."
Nie Chen walked over, grabbed Weng Qiuchan, and walked towards the bedroom.
After Weng Qiuchan sniffed it, a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said leisurely,
"It smells like a vixen. You really want to run there when you have time."
"hey-hey."
"Go take a shower. I'm experiencing severe morning sickness right now and I can't smell this filthy smell."
"Okay."
Nie Chen stayed at home for a total of three days. During these three days, he dealt with some matters in the capital, wrote letters, and left them for Zhou Ping and others. He spent most of the time with Weng Qiuchan, and occasionally worked as a medicine scum.
On the fourth day, Nie Chen left the capital on the road under Weng Qiuchan's farewell.
Nie Chen was only accompanied by Jiang Lan, Qi Huan, Zhou Long and Zhou Hu, ten shadow guards and twenty bodyguards.
A group of more than thirty people, riding fast horses, galloped all the way east.
The army had been walking for three days and was already more than a hundred miles away. They were not in a hurry and drove at a steady speed so that the horses were not so tired. They could reach the army before evening.
They walked non-stop along the way, and by noon, they were dozens of miles away from the capital.
Gyeonggi County has more plains and fewer mountains. Going eastward, there is only one city and a pass. After passing the pass, you will reach Shuoyue County.
The pass was at the junction of Gyeonggi County and King Andong's territory. The imperial court had no soldiers, so it was naturally unable to defend the pass. That pass was in the hands of King Andong.
Later, Mingxuan rebelled. In order to guard against Mingxuan, King Anton increased the number of soldiers and horses in the pass from 4,000 to 20,000 to prevent Mingxuan from suddenly advancing eastward.
But Mingxuan's main enemies were Nie Chen and Chen Wujiang. He didn't have much energy to deal with Qian Anping, and he didn't want to offend him, so the pass was still in Qian Anping's hands.
Nie Chen was walking like this, thinking about how to quickly conquer the pass and enter Shuoyue County to fight the main force of King Andong.
But he didn't understand the situation, hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and couldn't come up with any ideas.
"My lord, my lord."
Qi Huan shouted.
"Ah? What's wrong?"
Nie Chen turned to look at Qi Huan.
"My lord, there is a forest in front of the official road. Let's go to the forest to rest for a while. Let's eat some food and feed the horses by the way. The horses are also tired."
"OK."
Qi Huan nodded, then shouted behind him,
"Qiling, Zhao Hui, you two take your two guard brothers and rush into the forest to search. After confirming that there are no enemies, come and report. Let's go there to rest."
"As you command!"
Two shadow guards and two bodyguards rushed forward at high speed.
They were running, and so were Nie Chen and others, but they were running a little faster.
The forest in front was not far away, and Qi Ling and others arrived quickly and rode in.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud shout,
"Who are you?"
"Yo? Is there anyone?"
Nie Chen was curious. At this time of war and chaos, how could there be anyone in the woods beside the official road?
"Let's go over and have a look."
"Lord, there is someone in front of us. We'd better go after finding out the situation."
"If the enemy started fighting directly, it wouldn't be so quiet. Let's go and take a look."
The group arrived quickly and saw Qiling Zhao Hui and several others holding weapons and confronting a group of people on the opposite side.
That group of people was pulling more than a dozen carts of goods, and there were about forty or fifty people in total. The leader was dressed as a wealthy businessman, followed by more than 20 people dressed as servants and workers, wearing short shirts and towels, and more than 20 people holding hands. He had a knife in his pocket and his clothes were messy.
"Master, military masters, we are all businessmen, not gangsters. We come to Beijing to do business, and we do business on a small scale. If we do business on a small scale, we expect someone to show off."
The wealthy businessman at the head bowed his hands repeatedly, his face full of flattery.
"Are you businessmen? Where do you come from?"
Nie Chen asked.
"Returning to Master Jun, we are businessmen from Yizhou County."
"Oh, Yizhou County, that is our windiest county, but you are coming from Yizhou County, shouldn't you enter the capital from the southeast? Why did you end up in the east of the capital?"
"Back to Master Jun, we came north from Yizhou County. We first went to Wanggu County in the east of Gyeonggi Province. We sold some goods there and bought some things. Then we went west to the capital and dumped the goods. Sold.
Military Lord, we haven't sold our things yet, and we don't have much cash on us. Why don't you take half of the goods away and treat it as protection money? Thank you for your generous support, Military Lord. "
When the businessman spoke, his face was full of pain and reluctance, but he still smiled, for fear that the soldiers in front of him would kill them all and take away the goods.
Nie Chen sighed and said,
"Don't worry, we won't rob people's things. We are all the masters of Dafeng, not deserters.
It’s not easy for you businessmen either. You run around here and there, and you have to guard against bandits and robbing soldiers. Have you often encountered robberies by soldiers in the past? "
The businessman smiled bitterly and said,
"Master Jun, seeing that you are also a sensible man, the little man will tell the truth.
It's hard to do business these days. There's war and chaos. There's nothing we can do.
But if there is no business, the whole family will starve to death.
We hired people from the escort bureau to help with the escort. The cost of escorting the escort alone accounts for half of the profit. If another half of the goods are taken away, we will lose everything and pay for it.
If you don't take the goods away, we can still make some money. If we buy some high-end goods from the capital and bring them back to Yizhou County, we can make a little more money.
If it goes well, it's okay, but if it doesn't go well, it's a trivial matter to lose all your money, and you're afraid of losing your life. "
After hearing this, Nie Chen nodded and said,
"Yes, it won't be easy for you, but once the imperial court regains control of the country and unifies the country, there will be no more wars and chaos. Once the bandits are cleaned up and those officials who exploit the bones and marrow are rectified, your business environment will be better. Don't worry. , it won’t take a few years.”
"Thank you for your good words. The military master is very talkative and must be a big shot. I wonder if you can tell me your name so that I can look up to you?"
"My name is Nie Chen, King of Zhengbei. Have you heard of me?"
Nie Chen smiled.
"I heard that the villain is waiting for you!"
The wealthy businessman suddenly sneered, raised his bowing hand, and shot an arrow from his sleeve toward Nie Chen's face!
