Chapter 91 Handover

Hearing Yi Xingchen's words, Mei Lengxiang couldn't help but remember the scene of the two hiding under the soft collapse in Xuantian Temple. Her heart was pounding again. She thought to herself that although this young man was weak, he could not be bound by a chicken. He was a talented man who could tell fortunes and avoid bad luck. Since he had this ability, no matter how big the disaster was, he would not hurt him at all. He was worried too much.

Mei Lengxiang nodded and smiled sweetly: "Okay, since that's the case, you go."

Yi Xingchen stared at her pretty face as delicate as ice sculptures and jade carvings: "Sister, you must be careful and take care of yourself."

Yi Xingchen left Mei Lengxiang's boudoir and came to the front hall of the medicine shop. Seeing Tang Xiaoqi chewing snacks in her mouth and busy picking up medicine, she lay on the counter and said to her: "I'm leaving, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay, - wait!" Tang Xiaoqi took out a small bag of things from her pocket and handed them to him: "Take this one, give it to you."

Yi Xingchen took it, pinched it, and said, "What is this?"

"The pine candy is delicious, and there is no need to sell it in Tunzhou. It was my senior sister who came from Jiangnan and passed by Tunzhou and brought it to me. There were two packs in total. I left one pack myself and gave you one pack, so I can't bear to give it to anyone else."

Yi Xingchen actually doesn't like eating candy, but when Tang Xiaoqi said so seriously and such a precious thing, he even gave half of it to himself. He was very thoughtful. If he said he didn't like to eat it, it would hurt her heart. Then he held it in his hand and said, "Okay, thank you for thinking about me, and let me eat all the good things."

Tang Xiaoqi giggled and said, "Okay, what are you thanking? Go quickly."

Yi Xingchen smiled and waved his hand, put the bag of pine candy in his arms, and turned around and left the medicine shop.

He went home and told his master that he was going on a business trip and that he would go for several days so that his master would not have to worry. Then he returned to the Jinyiwei Yamen.

The three of them rode their horses and took official documents out of the yamen and walked straight to the southeast. The route to escort Xiu Nu was to enter the Tunzhou boundary from the southeast, pass through the southwest, and then go from the southwest, crossing the southern part of Tunzhou. They needed to go to a place called Xinghuawoo in the southeast. That place was the junction of Tunzhou and nearby prefectures and counties.

It was already evening when they arrived at Xinghua. Judging from the news they received, the officers and soldiers who escorted the show girl would enter the country the next morning. So they could have a rest here one night.

Xinghuawo is a small market town. They found the best inn to stay in. Whether Jinyiwei will pay for the hotel or not is all up to them. The store owners dare not say anything at all, so Jinyiwei always chooses the best inn to stay in when on business trips.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Yi Xingchen proposed to settle the account. According to Gao Zhugan and the others' previous practice, it would not be settled. However, Yi Xingchen remembered Mei Lengxiang's words, even if he had a good heart, it would not matter whether he was an Jinyiwei or not. Therefore, he did not want to bully others, so he still paid for three people to stay in a hotel. Anyway, there was enough subsidy for the Jinyiwei to go on a business trip, and the money did not need to be paid out of his own pocket.

The shopkeeper thought that these three evil spirits would never pay the bill, and did not expect them to pay the bill. Unexpectedly, the three of them paid the house money, which made him overjoyed and kept beating and bowing to express his gratitude. He personally helped the groom put the saddles of the three, and then led the horse to deliver them to the door of the inn.

Yi Xingchen sighed in his heart that being the Jinyiwei was really a cool job in the Ming Dynasty.

The three of them came to a hill at the border post, which was the place where the two sides intersected. Sitting on the hill, from afar, the winding mountain road at the foot of the mountain was clearly visible. If the official army escorted the beautiful girl appeared, they could see it from afar.

But it was not until noon that I saw the officers and soldiers escorting Yunxiu's carriage slowly coming up the mountain.

Because these beautiful women were used to refine pills for the emperor, of course they could not be neglected, so they hired carriages for them. There were officers and soldiers in front of and behind the long carriages. Once they reached a narrower place, only one carriage could pass through, so there was no way to guard both sides. There were no strong thieves under the bright world. Besides, they were escorting the beautiful women, not gold, silver and jewelry. The strong thieves should not take their lives to steal a few women from the officers and soldiers. What kind of women can't be found if they are rich? So the road was peaceful, and the officers and soldiers were also lazy, and they rode bicycles in front and behind to appreciate the scenery of spring slowly, just like going on a spring trip, slowly coming up.

Gao Zhugan and Ai Donggua asked Yi Xingchen to sit a little while. They stood in the middle of the road, watched their convoy come from afar, and raised their hands high. The officers and soldiers who were leading the way saw two people wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring swords, they knew they were local Jinyiwei, and immediately returned the officials responsible for the escort and the Jinyiwei who had been escorted by the prefectures and counties. Soon, several people stepped forward to Gao Zhugan and the others.

A military academy first bowed his fists and said, "Thank you for your hard work, come far away to welcome me, I am so grateful."

Gao Zhugan smiled, took out the official document of Jinyiwei and handed it over. The officer took it with Xiao and opened it. He nodded, then turned around and handed it to a Jinyiwei next to him. Jinyiwei also looked at it, and nodded to Gao Zhugan with a smile and said, "I will hand over the errand to the two brothers, let's say goodbye."

Gao Zhugan and Ai Donggua quickly bowed: "Brother, thank you for your hard work, go all the way."

The military academy handed the official document back to Gao Zhugan. Gao Zhugan then pointed to Yi Xingchen, who was sitting on the big stone under the shade of the tree and said, "That is our leader, his surname is Yi."

The military academy quickly stepped forward, held his fists and bowed, "It turned out to be General Yi, I'm so respectful."

In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor adopted the strategy of suppressing military affairs with civil servants, vigorously promoted the status of civil servants and suppressed military officers. Military officers of the same level could not raise their heads in front of civil servants. Therefore, military officers could be said to be smiling at others, not to mention that when they met the Jinyiwei beside the emperor, they had to flatter and flatter. Therefore, although Yi Xingchen was just a small Jinyiwei strongman, the military academy was actually the general flag and led a hundred soldiers, he did not dare to neglect them and called him a general.

Yi Xingchen then stood up and bowed his hand. This must be put on his posture. This is different from being to the common people. If you are too humble, the other party will look down on you because your behavior does not match your status, and others will think that you will not be a human being.

The general flag took out three small ingots of silver from his arms and held it in his hands, and sent it to Yi Xingchen: "This is a little bit of money for the three of you. I hope you can accept it with a smile. Please take care of it along the way."

Yi Xingchen took the silver ingot and put it on the cushion. It was estimated that each of them had two taels of silver. This job could earn two taels of silver! It was equivalent to their monthly salary, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was really too easy to make money as an Jinyiwei.

He honestly and bluntly thanked him, then gave Gao Zhugan and Ai Donggua the other two ingots of silver, and said, "It's okay, my brother, don't be polite, let's go."

So the three of them rode their horses and followed the flag forward.

The general flag kept talking to Yi Xingchen and the others along the way, talking about strange stories on the road, Gao Zhugan and the dwarf winter melon were also chattering. Of course, you talked all the time. Only Yi Xingchen didn't like this kind of chatter, so he rode all the way to look at the scenery and looked at the sky from time to time.

When we walked to a small town in the evening, we went to a small town. Of course, the three Jinyiwei guards were escorted to pay for the food and accommodation. At that time, the General Banner called the few small flags responsible for escorting them to come and drink with the three Jinyiwei uncles. Although they were escorted dozens of young and beautiful girls, they were for the emperor. Even if they had the courage to call them to accompany them, they would not dare to call them to accompany them. They would have to be beheaded. Fortunately, there were people singing small songs in this village, so they called them to listen to the songs and drink wine, and they were happy.

The next morning, the group continued to set off and walked forward. By noon, they had arrived at the south of Tunzhou City.
