At the end of May Kang has entered the summer, this day the temperature is relatively high, although still early in the morning, if not meditation, or feel the heat, only air gusts of breeze entrained camphor leaves fragrance, blowing to people, can make people feel cool. The bedroom in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Office, there are two people but ignoring the heat, rolling up and down, fighting to the death, each sweat flow to each other, early not to distinguish between you and me.
The wall clock outside the bedroom struck four times, and only then did the movement within the bedroom gradually subside. Zheng Yuming powerless lying on Chu Chao Hui body, declared that he has contributed all the physical strength, no longer able to fight.
Chu Chao Hui closed his eyes back trip on the cushion, half embracing the lover, two hands in the lover's smooth white greasy back sliding fondly. The quiet embrace after making love, so that the two always born out of the years of peace and quiet, the taste of peace and quiet in the world, at this time, all the world's chores away from them is very far, only each other in the common breath.
A good feeling is always used to be broken, a clock rings outside the bedroom, waking up the confused Jung Yoo Ming, the clock outside the bedroom is a sample of the Royal Watch Factory.
"Is it half past four?" Zheng Yuming struggled to get up from Chu Chao Hui, today Chu Chao Hui was going to take 3,000 riders from Kangcheng to start his nationwide tour, Zheng Yuming wanted to personally go to the north gate to say goodbye.
"You don't want to get up and send me off, sleep again." Chu Chao Hui pressed down on Zheng Yuming and let Zheng Yuming lie down with his head on the cushion.
Chu Chao Hui first went to the Northwest County to inspect, and then went to the Northeast County, Northeast County inspection, from the small bay to take a boat to Nambu, to Nambu inspection of the just-established naval division. Zheng Yuming a few days later will also take Wu Wangsheng to patrol Ulsan, in Ulsan and Chu Chaohui will meet together after returning to Kangcheng.
Because the two to separate about twenty days, the night before the parting of course, sex is high, sex almost did a night, Chu Chao Hui long years of martial arts, physical strength than has been staying in the office of Zheng Yuming several times, a night of fighting, Chu Chao Hui squinted for a while, the spirit of the recovery of a large portion of the, and Zheng Yuming do not sleep for two or three hours is not to recover.
"No, I'll still give you a ride." Jung Yuming grunted with his eyes closed.
"It's only 4:30 now, it's still early, you squint a little more to get up, I'll call you later." Chu Chao Hui gathered the wet hair on Zheng Yuming's face behind his ear and bent his head to kiss Zheng Yuming.
"Uh, wait to call me." Jung Yuming was too sleepy and fell asleep after his muttering.
Zheng Yuming this sleep to seven o'clock before waking up, when he opened his eyes, the bedroom only one person, the bench in front of the bed has Chu Chao Hui changed pajamas, Chu Chao Hui did not have the heart to wake up sleeping sweet Zheng Yuming, tiptoe get up and take the guards went directly to the barracks, led the three thousand cavalry out of the city to start his tour of the garrison around the trip.
At this time of the year, a big wooden ship of 1,500 materials was traveling on the big river in the territory of Tang, which came from the junction of the big rivers of Lu and Tang, and the bottom compartment of the big wooden ship was full of goods, and on the surface of the ship were the guards of the merchants who escorted the goods and some passengers. Some of the passengers were in rags and had thin faces, and were assigned to stay in one of the bins by the guards.
"All of you are not allowed to run around, you are now safe, once you reach the Wu border to be sanitized and disinfected and register your information, you can go to join your relatives and friends. If you don't follow the rules and run around, my ship owner can only drive you all ashore." A wooden boat leader only walked to the door of this barn and loudly lectured, not going inside the cabin, he was afraid that there were diseases among the starving people that would be transmitted.
"Dare not, dare not, we will obey and stay right here." As soon as the words of the head of the wooden boat left his mouth, these starving people, fearing to be driven ashore, said that they would be at peace.
They are all people from Qi and Lu, part of these people from Wu's friends and relatives in the letter, learned that Wu is rich, the people are well off, have a yearning, with Wu's friends and relatives to help the money to play the barriers, to avoid checking the lucky on the big wooden boat, the other part of the friends and relatives do not have a friend or relative in the Wu, only heard that there is a way of life in the Wu, they sell their family property to bribe the barriers to sneak on board the boat.
Not all of the wooden boats traveling the great river are willing to carry these poor people, like the wooden boats of the merchants of Tang, Qi, and Lu, even if you offer them boat money, they are reluctant, the soldiers in the territory of Tang are very strict in searching them, and the refugees are troublesome to them,. Only the big ships with the flag of the golden dragon containing the fireball flying on the wooden ship would carry them. The flag of the Golden Dragon Containing the Fireball was the flag of the Kingdom of Wu.
The leader of the wooden boat, seeing that the refugees were obedient, nodded in satisfaction and prepared to leave.
"Proprietor, now that we are in Tang, is it alright for us to stay in the ship's barn like this?" A somewhat older refugee asked cautiously. When the wooden ship traveled between Qi and Lu, the refugees were hiding in the bottom of the barn's to avoid inspection.
The head of the wooden boat heard the refugees' worries and looked disdainful: "Don't worry, old man, that Tang soldiers have no right to go up to the Wu merchant ships to inspect them, and all of you are as safe on my wooden boat as you are in Wu."
Older refugees face joy, pressed on the heart of the stone fell to the ground, he is the people of the State of Lu, Lu border at the Tang soldiers are not good, kill up smuggling to Tang refugees without mercy, refugees across the border into the Tang will be consumed by Tang food, the King of the Tang has long been under the order of the kill.
Wooden boat has several sails, this day and the wind, but one day, the wooden boat line to the big river outside the capital of the Tang Dynasty wharf. The wooden boat docked, replenished water and some food, the dock side of the barrier set up by the soldiers really just look from afar, not on the big wooden boat inspection, just other vassal states wooden boat docked at the pier, those soldiers are vicious up to check, take enough benefits before leaving.
The older veteran had just breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw from the hatchway that the Tang soldiers stayed at the barrier and did not move, when he saw a few people come out of the barrier and walk straight towards the direction of the big wooden ship.
There were several people of different shapes and sizes walking at the barrier, two of them looked like merchants, three of them looked like scholars, and one of them looked like a ranger. The guards of the wooden boat hurriedly went ashore from the diving board and inquired about these people, only to realize that these people were not Tang people, they were passing through the Tang country and wanted to take the wooden boat to Wu.
Wooden boat guards asked the reason, read the ultimatum of each person, let the six people on the boat. Six people in the lean man on the boat, chose the bow position to sit down, from the baggage package out of a gourd, and pulled out a paper bag to open, the paper bag is dried meat. The lean man pulled out the gourd plug, a mouthful of wine, a piece of dried meat ate up, the smell of dried meat into the refugee cabin, attracted the refugees mouth watering again and again.
"This strong man, may I ask where he is from?" The head of the wooden boat walked over to the lean man.
"My humble servant, Kui Ji, a native of Yan, wishes to go to the Kingdom of Wu to seek riches and honor." Kui Ji was greatly prickly.
"Oh, going to Wu to seek riches and honor? Is the strong man a martial artist or a scribe?" The head of the wooden boat came to be interested.
"Takeshi!"
"The strong man must be skilled in martial arts!" The head of the wooden boat sat down in front of Kuihoshi.
Kui Ji smiled proudly, "The head can be taken from a hundred men."
The head of the wooden boat couldn't help but give Kui Ji a thumbs up at his words, "Strong man is really brave, but unfortunately, it's not the best time for strong man to go to Wu before this year."
Kui Ji was shocked, how did this wooden boat leader seem to know what he was going to do in Wu? Kui Ji squinted at the wooden boat leader, one hand quietly pressed the hilt of the sword, as long as the wooden boat leader is suspicious of him, he will take the life of this person.
The head of the wooden boat was oblivious to the fact that the ranger in front of him already had murderous intentions towards him. The head of the wooden boat was only using common sense to deduce Kui Ji's motives for going to Wu, as many people were attracted to take their chances by hearing that there were no thresholds in Wu for taking materials. The head of the wooden boat assumed that Kui Ji was one of them.
"Wu will not have the promotion examination until February 2nd next year, if you go there now, I am afraid that you will have to wait for another half a year." The promotion examination is held once every three years, and next year is exactly three years from the first promotion examination. To the state of Wu to seek an official person, all have to go through the promotion examination screening, civil have civil test, martial have martial test, Kang city has gathered a lot of national civil and military people, waiting to participate in next year's February 2 examination, for their own bo a future.
"Haha, it's only half a year, Kui Ji can wait!" Upon hearing this, Kui Ji realized that he had misunderstood, and let go of the hilt of his sword. "The person who can set the promotion exam must be extraordinary, right?"
Kui Ji hopes that the more famous Jung Yuming becomes, the better.
"Of course, my country's Duke Ming is a heavenly exiled immortal who descended from the heavens, and only with Duke Ming's protection has the country of Wu stabilized today. The name of my country's Prince Ming is not known to any small people! Which country's vassals don't hear about it!" The leader of the wooden boat had a proud face, as if he was Duke Ming.
"Oh, fame is the best thing in the world!" Kui Ji was excited, he had already begun to imagine the scene of the world shaking when he successfully assassinated Zheng Yuming.
While they were talking, the wooden boat had already anchored offshore, and the boatmen on board raised the sails, the boat had a smooth wind and water, and the speed of the boat was quite fast, and the wooden boat arrived at the border of Tang-Wu in the evening. This distance, if walking on land, it must take two days to arrive.
The wooden boat entered the border of Wu and stopped at the Wu river crossing to be inspected by soldiers, and the refugees on board were driven ashore to the refugee camps, where they needed to be examined by doctors, and those who were healthy needed to stay in the camps for two weeks to make sure that there was nothing wrong with them before they could be placed in the camps.
Those on board with official clearance papers were verified by the soldiers, who left a record of their release. Kui Ji transferred there to a cargo ship bound for Takamachi and arrived at the Takamachi ferry in only two days.
Kui Ji declined the aides arranged by the King of Tang and went to Wu single-handedly to prepare for the assassination of Zheng Yuming, and before he left, he only asked the King of Tang to provide Tang people who could get close to the two Zheng Chu. On top of the list, the name of Fu Chou, a famous disciple of Tang's trusted minister, is included.
Kui Ji disembarked in Gao Ma Di, just in time to meet the soldiers of the Gao Ma Di barracks out of the camp running, the soldiers unified clothing, unified pace, unified slogan. After the Tang-Wu border, the two places seem to be two worlds, all the way to travel, Wu territory is full of thriving scenes, now the soldiers drill, the soldiers exude morale and let Kui Ji side-eye.
These Wu soldiers in the eyes of Kui Ji, a single seems to be very ordinary, but they gathered together, similar behavioral actions, Qiqi slogan, but also exudes a pressure, with a thick killing.
Quiggy stayed until he couldn't see the backs of the soldiers, then he paid the one wu yuan silver fare and rode in the public carriage at the ferry into Kham. When he arrived at Kham, Quiggy got off and wandered around for a while, seeing that no one was paying attention around him, then he slowly paced towards the North Academy.
