Dazhuang took out a red RMB pass and handed it to the guard behind the wooden door and window of the valley gap to verify it before he was able to enter the valley.

"Dajiang, you've come back to get married, right?"

The slave who was on guard duty at the wooden door of the gap passage today knew Big Strong, he and Big Strong were the first batch of slaves who entered the valley. This slave was not selected to be a soldier, so he was eliminated and entered the valley's patrol, and now he is the small leader of the valley's patrol. Although the two are very familiar with each other, according to the rules and regulations of the valley, the entry and exit of the valley is only recognized by the pass, not by the person. So the slave on guard duty after seriously checking the RMB, before waving his hand and letting his men open the wooden door.

"Hey!" Dazhuang carefully put the yuan into the inner pocket of the jacket, did not answer the words of the small leader, just towards the former companion naive smile.

Dazhuang's wedding date was set for May, and now it's only April, according to the original plan, he'll be back in half a month, but this time it's important, so Yu Kui doesn't feel comfortable letting an ordinary messenger send a letter back.

In April the valley is already green everywhere and the valley is busy with people. The trees between the gap passage and the living quarters of the valley have been pretty much cut down, and most of the area has been planted with wheat and bittercress, whose flowering season is just now over, and the bittercress tips are already seeing bittercress seeds.

Some of the sandier soil areas along the road were planted with potatoes, which had grown stems and leaves that would mature before the wheat harvest. After the spring potato harvest in the valley, there will be enough potatoes for planting in September. Potatoes can be cultivated in two seasons a year, and the Dacheng area can have another high-yield planting crop. Beside some high ridges, women in the valley are cutting sweet potato seedlings, which will be planted on the empty ridges not far away, and there are many male slaves tilling the land beside the empty ridges, which will be sown with corn soon.

Da Zhuang took the main road of the valley, which ran east and west across the valley, leading from the entrance of the slit passage all the way to the long river in the western part of the valley. This road is not a dirt road now, but it is paved with broken masonry tiles, with sand and soil sprinkled on top, and tightly pressed with rolled stones, so that the road surface is smooth and will not be muddy on rainy days.

Every time Dajiang came back, he could feel the changes in the valley, and felt that the valley was full of a vigorous vitality, and this feeling made him feel comfortable, and made him feel that his mood was soaring, and he could sweep away the kind of depressing feeling that Wudu City brought to him.

Many of the slaves working on both sides of the road recognize Big Strong, and they have stopped their farm work to greet him. Most of the people in the valley know that Dajiang's wedding date is in May, and they all thought that Dajiang, who was doing business outside, came back to prepare for his marriage, so they couldn't help but open their mouths one by one to flirt with him.

Dazhuang still as in the gap at the wooden door, naive smile toward the acquaintance does not answer, the footsteps are not slow, still strides toward the villa.

Da Zhuang returned to the valley is the afternoon, Zheng Yuming and Chu Chao Hui are not in the villa, Chu Chao Hui in the western part of the valley to train soldiers, Zheng Yuming in the back slope of the village to command the village people to build water conservancy.

Dazhuang pounced in the villa, hastily found a mule cart in the living area, drove the mule cart to the barracks to look for Chu Zhaohui. The roadside from the living area to the barracks was still forested, and the trees were not yet capable of being cut down.

Chu Chao Hui was now no longer training the recruits himself, he used the establishment of the heavenly army of the latter days. More than five hundred soldiers were organized by him into a battalion, a battalion was equipped with four companies, a company numbered around 120 people, each company consisted of three platoons, a platoon of around 30 people, below the platoon was the squad, the squad numbered 10 people.

At present the battalion commander of the soldier battalion was Chu Chao Hui himself, the company commanders of the four battalions were soldiers who had performed well in the battle against the bandits, the first company commander was Er Zi, that is, Ma Ren, the second company commander was Zhou Cheng, the third company commander was Wei Qing, these three were all those who had won the first-class merit in the battle against the bandits, and the commander of the fourth company was chosen from the second-class merit.

The other remaining slave soldiers also all became officers and were appointed as platoon commanders or squad leaders. In this way, the first batch of forty-nine trained slaves plus Weiqing all became officers, because the number of officers was still not enough, there were still a few squad leader positions vacant, so Chu Chao Hui picked a few of the more outstanding ones from the bandits out to be appointed.

Chu Chao Hui originally did not want Wei Qing to bring soldiers too early, after all, Wei Qing is only fourteen years old, in the twenty-first century is a junior high school student. However, this fourteen year old boy is very good, not only the comprehension is very high, but also smart and vicious, more than other good slaves have a share of ruthlessness. Chu Chao Hui really can't find a better candidate than him as a company commander, plus Wei Qing already has a height of more than 160, in the army height is considered medium, Chu Chao Hui searching for a few days, or to put the decision to let Wei Qing as a company's highest officer, Wei Qing special experience, can't treat him as a child to look at, this teenager's character is not suitable for suppression.

After the framework of the troop is set up, the training is taken care of by the troop officers, and Chu Chaohui only needs to guide them, freeing up his hands to train other types of soldiers.

When Da Zhuang came to see Chu Chao Hui, Chu Chao Hui was following a mountain bandit to learn horsemanship. As a modern person, riding a horse is just a hobby, in the twenty-first century, Chu Chao Hui only learned to ride a horse in a horse racing club, just able to ride, can't talk about skillful riding. Now in the Great Qin, the horse is a strategically important material, an indispensable element in war.

Today's Great Qin Continent only had chariots, cavalry was not popular in war, and either shock missions or as shooting platforms were mainly accomplished by chariots. At this time, the horse's main contribution to war was also mainly limited to hauling chariots. The main disadvantage of the chariot lies in the higher cost and the requirements of the flat ground, while the cavalry impact than the chariot is not bad at all, the price is still lower than the chariot, mobility is better, the cavalry against the chariot, as long as the chariot around the chariot to shoot back and forth, the chariot can't be imagined, can only become a target.

Chu Chaohui decided to build a cavalry team based on the experience of the later generations. Cavalry is highly maneuverable and flexible in combat, it is an essential troop type in the cold weapon era. Cavalry is not just riding a horse, but to be able to shoot arrows and fight on a horse, which requires skillful horsemanship and a lot of practice.

Building a cavalry is a dozen times more difficult than building an infantry, one is the lack of horses, the other is the lack of skillful riders. In addition to the four horses rewarded by Gong Ziguang in the valley, five more were bought one after another, eleven were smuggled from neighboring countries, and with the one obtained from banditry, there were only twenty-one horses in the entire valley.

Chu Chao Hui selected ten to be war horses, and from the valley slaves, mountain bandits and purchased civilians selected twenty who had experience in horseback riding to be riders, and a mountain bandit named Zeng You was promoted to be the brigadier general of the cavalry team, Zeng You was the owner of the trophy horses of the bandits, and was the most skillful in horsemanship.

When Dajiang saw Chu Chaohui, he took out a tarpaulin parcel from his heart, he came back this time to deliver this parcel. Chu Chao Hui took the parcel and put it into his traveling bag, asked Dajiang about some of the situation in Wu Wangdu, praised Dajiang, and then instructed Dajiang to rest in the valley for a while, and then go to Wu Wangdu City after the wedding.

Zheng Yuming was busy until dark, the water conservancy project in Houpo Village was imminent, the project had to be completed by the end of May, because rice planting would be in June at the latest. The villagers of Hou Po village learned that the village in ten years will change the master, the master is the governor of Nambu, one after another, a happy and abnormal.

Nambu a year in the villagers' standard of living has changed drastically, the nearest back slope village village people have the most experience, the village to raise poultry at the end of last year, all by the Nambu village people high prices, while the back slope village people take the coins sold, can only buy miscellaneous food, barely had a New Year with food and clothing.

Houpo village only family in Nangbu working village people, because the pay is good, the new year is more abundant, a few working village people at the end of the year also from Nangbu bought japonica rice, this kind of japonica rice made into dry rice fragrant and soft, as long as tasted once, all hope that their own fields can be like Nangbu, planted on this kind of food. Now that the village has changed owners, this life is not far away, how could the villagers of Houpo Village not be excited.

Zheng Yuming with the engineering team stationed in the village of Houpo, the village people behave positively, families contribute their labor to the construction of water conservancy, a few village people working in Nambu also give up earning money, come back to the site to work, originally the most hostile to the Nambu after the slope of the village patriarch, is now the most active in the entire village one.

"We may have to go to the royal capital Kang City in the second half of the year." In the study on the second floor of the villa, Chu Chao Hui pulled out Yu Kui's secret letter and handed it to Zheng Yuming.

"King Wu is going to recruit great bannermen from all over the world to the royal capital? We won't be going." Zheng Yuming brought the letter up to the oil lamp, Yu Kui wrote a lot on the paper, so the words were written extremely small and dense.

"We are not qualified enough to go forward, but I think Gongziguang and Wei Shen will take us there." Chu Chao Hui had a toothpick in his mouth, he was now forced to quit smoking, the cigarettes in the villa had officially run out last week, and now that he was addicted to cigarettes, he had to take a toothpick and hold it in his mouth to get over it.

"We need to be a little prepared if we're going to King Wu's Capital." Zheng Yuming regarded King Wu's capital as a dangerous place.

"Look at this, Yu Kui is really talented." Chu Chao Hui rummaged through the oilcloth bag and pulled out two pieces of parchment, one parchment was a topographical map of King Wu's capital city, and the other was a topographical map of the entire country of Wu.

"It's our greatest fortune to be able to take in Yu Kyu." Zheng Yuming looked at the two pieces of parchment and lamented.

Although the map of this time and space is very simple, it is the top secret of each vassal state, usually by the lord of the country personally in charge, the map is usually placed in the palace secret room, only when the battle, the king will take out to the combat generals to see. Yu Kui in order to get these two maps, secretly do the work can be imagined, no wonder Dazhuang came back to report, has always been a good wine Yu Kui drink can drink to stomach bleeding.

Half a month after Yamaguchi got the secret letter from Yu Kui, the Ulsan government received an edict from the King of Wu, who wanted to celebrate a harvest festival with the major feudal lords on the ninth day of the ninth month of the ninth lunar month. The 9th day of the 9th month at this time was not called Chongyang Festival, it was not a festival to honor the elderly, it was an event to offer sacrifices to the Heavenly Emperor and ancestors at the time of the crop harvest to thank the Heavenly Emperor and ancestors for their benevolence.

"Father Wei, Guang can see his father now." Duke Guang's eyes filled with tears when he received the edict.

Duke Guang was very much favored by the King of Wu when he was young, only after the death of his mother consort Wei Ji, Duke Guang went to the fiefdom, and in the middle of the time, instigated by Ripple Ji, the King of Wu gradually grew cold towards this second son of his. There is a lot of truth in the saying that there is a stepmother and then there is a stepfather.

Compared to Gong Zi Guang's excitement, Wei Shen was very cautious, and like Zheng Yuming, he also thought that Wu Wangdu was a dragon's den.

"Congratulations to Gongzi for being able to meet the Great King." Wei Shen was very defensive of the King of Wu in his heart, but did not show it on his face, he did not want to make things difficult for Gong Ziguang, so that Gong Ziguang would come to his senses and realize that the King of Wu no longer had the lick of the tongue that he had ten years ago.

"Uncle can't go, can he?" Gongzi Guang wasn't ignorant enough to leave the fiefdom unattended after he left.

"Yes, the two Martial Zaizi are going to defend Dar City." Wei Shen nodded.

"I want to bring Zheng Qing to see Father." Gong Ziguang was thinking about which nobles he should take with him in his entourage, and Zheng Yuming was the first one he wanted to take with him.

"Governor Chu must also be brought along." Wei Shen added that there was a limit to the number of attendants that could go on a pilgrimage to the royal capital, and for the sake of Gong Ziguang's safety, the nobles that followed him had to have a force value in addition to a high status, so that they could better protect Gong Ziguang. Chu Chaohui's physical strength was second to none in the Dacheng region, how could such a warrior not be brought along.

Gong Ziguang and Wei Shen discussed the matter for a night and selected the nobles who would follow them to the king's capital, and the next day they sent it out in a document, publishing the list of attendants and asking the nobles from all over the world to pay tribute to the king of Wu with precious gifts. The two governors of Nambu, as Chu Chaohui expected, were both on the list.

Inside one of the palaces of the Kang City Royal Palace, an eleven or twelve year old boy in brocade clothes was standing in front of an old man with white hair and beard, his eyes slightly closed, reciting the Three Graves and Five Classics. The boy's voice was so clear and loud that a beautifully dressed woman standing in the corridor outside the palace could hear it clearly.

The young man memorized the chapter, still standing there quietly waiting for Hou. The old man with the white beard opened his eyes and nodded his head twice towards the teenager.

"May, inscribe what you have memorized today three times and present it to me tomorrow." The old man said while handing the youngster the book made of brocade in his hand.

"Noo! Tai Fu." The brocade-clothed boy received the brocade book with both hands and respectfully retreated.

As soon as the young man came out of the palace, he saw the beautiful woman standing under the corridor, and the restrained look on his face changed to one of delight.

"Mother Consort!" The teenager ran towards Lillian cheerfully.

"How did Yong learn from Tai Fu today? Did Tai Fu praise Yong?" This beautiful woman who looked twenty-seven or eighteen years old was none other than the King of Wu's favorite concubine, Ripple.

"Mother consort, Tai Fu complimented, Tai Fu is satisfied with Yong." Yong relied on his mother to be pampered. "Taifu let yong carve poems, to carve three times."

"Yong carve it well and carve it for Father to see." Yi Ji lovingly touched her son's head.

"Mother Consort," the brocade-clothed boy bowed his head, he had originally rushed at his mother and pampered her, he wanted to ask Ri Ji to take pity on him, because it was very hard for him to carve the poem three times in the bamboo slips, and if Ri Ji took pity on him, he would plead with the Taifu, and would be able to cut down on his homework.

"Go on, quickly return to the palace to properly complete the coursework assigned by Tai Fu." Of course Ri Ji knew her son's little mind, but she only pretended not to understand.

Looking at Yong's far away back, Yi Ji's personal maid laughed, "Madam! Gongzi is getting smarter and smarter, the palace is saying that young Gongzi is the great talent."

Ri Ji heard the words, the corner of her mouth rose slightly, but when she saw the palace where Taifu was located, the pleasantness on her face disappeared, Gongzi Yong is no longer smart, but can't defeat the difference between the first born and the concubine, even the famous scholar that she hired for her son after all the hard work she had done, she refused to speak beautifully in front of the King of Wu, even though this famous scholar Taifu thought that Gongzi Yong was a few times more intelligent than Crown Prince Zhao. The famous scholar that he hired himself has this kind of attitude, and those courtiers even use the word "first" to crush her mother and son to death.

Yi Ji originally wanted to ask Tai Fu about Gongzi Yong's schoolwork, but now that she thought of the Zhao Shu that King Wu had sent down last month, she was no longer in the mood to meet with Tai Fu. She unconsciously walked in the garden of the harem, only feeling very depressed in her heart.

After the Spring Festival, the King of Wu once a small cold on the bed for more than a month, after recovery, the King of Wu began to have some thoughts, frequently summoned Hussar generals and Wenzai, and soon after that issued an imperial decree to let all the great feudal lords in September 9 into the king's capital of the pilgrimage. Ri Ji keenly sensed that King Wu was about to finalize Prince Zhao's position in front of the various feudal lords. Thinking of last year, a little bit close to the Prince Zhao can be pulled down the succession position, Ripple Ji can not help but chest, who is with that narrow-minded guy out of the idea? Who had the idea with that narrow minded guy? He lightly and coincidentally made her lose all her efforts.

Ripple Ji unknowingly walked to the front of the King of Wu's palace, one of the attendants of the King of Wu's palace saw Ripple Ji coming and hurriedly ran over to greet her.

"See you, Mrs. Ji!"

"Beg pardon! Is the Great King available?" Ri Ji suppressed her preoccupation, her face amiable.

"Your Ladyship, the Great King is in the Great Hall." This attendant in brown and yellow garb had a pleasing face, and after scanning his eyes around for a moment, he quietly confided, "The Hussar General has just left."

"Uh, got it." Rikki nodded in appreciation.

If we were to say which minister of the court Ri Ji hated the most, this Hussar General would be at the top of the list. Yi Ji and the 60-year-old general had irreconcilable conflicts. The Hussar General is the representative of the great families of Wu, half of the important posts in the Wu Dynasty are held by the sons of the families, their power is unshakeable in Wu, they do not need to go out to foster anyone, as long as they follow the rules and regulations left behind by their ancestors, there will be no loss of their interests. Ripple Ji can't give them any more benefits and can tempt them to change their position to abolish the first family and establish the concubine. And when Ripple Ji wanted to expand her faction's power, she inevitably infringed on the interests of the lineage.

The King of Wu, as Yu Kuei described, had a gaunt face from indulging in alcohol.

"My Lord!" A pair of catkins pressed gently beside his temples, a soft motion with just the right amount of force, nicely alleviating the headache he was feeling.

"Aife, where is Yong'er?"

"Yong'er has just learned poetry from Tai Fu, and is now carving Jane in his chambers." Yi Ji replied softly.

"Not bad, Yong'er is a good learner." King Wu's favorite son right now was his youngest son.

"Tai Fu praised Yong's son for his great talent and for having the style of King Mu." It was impossible for Tai Fu to say this in front of the King of Wu, but Ripple Ji was not afraid of the King of Wu to inquire about it, because Tai Fu once praised his disciple by using the praise of 'Yong resembles the cleverness of the previous king', and when he knew that Ripple Ji wanted his disciple to ascend to the throne of Wu, Tai Fu no longer dared to praise his disciple by using the previous king. King Mu was the founder of the state of Wu.

King Wu was silent for a moment and patted Ri Ji's hand. "Consort, I will protect your mother and son for a lifetime of honor."

"Concubine mother and son only want to be under the king's wings forever." Ri Ji sobbed with tears.

"Ai Fei don't worry, this time called the major feudal lords to come, lone will let them covenant, in the future Zhao succeeded the throne, will not dare to move you mother and son."

"Your Majesty," Ri Ji cried out in despair, her son was just not going to be able to take the throne?

"Aifei, not allowing Yong to succeed the throne is also for Yong's own good." King Wu let out a long sigh.

Ri Ji gritted her teeth, she hated that bunch of far-fetched families.

King Wu after the Spring Festival, a serious illness, it is not easy to recover, but a bizarre dream, the dream only to see the mountain floods collapse away, the river flows backwards. Woke up after the king of Wu was shocked, hastily called the ritual divination, divination for the great evil. The king of Wu called his ministers to ask him about his fortune, and the Hussar General said that it was a warning from his ancestors that the king of Wu wanted to abolish the first line of government and set up a concubine last year.

Dr. Jiang refuted on the spot that if the late king was dissatisfied with the king of Wu's abolition of the first wife and the establishment of a virtuous man, he should have dreamed a dream last year, not come to this year to warn.

The Hussar General simply hung his head low and said, "This is the Great King's intention to abolish the first wife still exists."

Two-thirds of the officials of the entire Wu dynasty agreed with the Hussar General.

Soon after the King of Wu asked his fortune, the edict summoning the feudal lord was issued.

It was dark outside, but the house of Jiang Dafu in Wu was brightly lit, and a banquet was being held in the house. Jiang Dafu and his disciples and guests were having a good time drinking, and the dancers were dancing to help them enjoy the party.

"Yu Mou toasts to Dafu! May Dafu be promoted to the left seat early." Merchant Yu Kui stood up and toasted towards the main seat. After asking his fortune, the king of Wu decided that he would no longer have the idea of abolishing the first wife and establishing the concubine, and in order to comfort Yi Ji, he was going to promote Jiang Daifu to the left doctor's position after the ninth month of the ninth lunar month.

"Haha! My humble husband accepts it!" Dr. Jiang laughed out loud and drank the wine in his hand.

Seeing this, the other disciples were not willing to lag behind and rose to congratulate Dr. Jiang.

After three rounds of wine, people at the banquet have drunkenness, some people fall down, some people leave the seat to chase after the maid or dancer to laugh. Sitting in the main seat of the ginger doctor saw the fire, pulled in the side of a dancing girl, pressed into the arms and began to touch.

One of Dr. Jiang's cronies approached his master. "My lord, my lord."

"What is it?" Dr. Kang was in the middle of his excitement, and Hsing Le was displeased when he was interrupted.

A close friend walked into Dr. Jiang, attached to his ear and said a few words, Dr. Jiang listened, panicked, pushed away the dancing girl on the body, looked around, saw that no one noticed him, then got up and quietly left the hall.

The master's departure did not affect the people who were drinking and making merry, only Yu Kui, who was lying on the case table, slightly opened his eyes.

Jiang Dafu out of the hall, after finishing his clothes and followed the cronies towards the backyard, the backyard of a yard in front of the standing two people, one wearing dark brown clothes, one cloaked in black cloak, Jiang Dafu look at the black cloak to know who is coming.

Black is only the son of heaven, the lord of the vassal state, and the princes are worthy of wearing. Harem women, in addition to the Queen Dowager, even if you are the Queen, can not wear black, black represents the honor, the harem of women very much, the idea of the Queen Consort compromise, the reverse side of the clothes into black. So many of the ladies of the harem of the vassal states, the lining of the deep clothes mostly in black.

Ri Ji went out of the palace late at night, in order not to be noticed, so she put the deep clothes on backwards, walking in the dark night, just to blend with the night color.

Ri Ji entered the compartment and waited for Dr. Jiang to have his cronies put on the candles before she took her cloak off, revealing her soft face.

"See you, ma'am." Dr. Jiang made a big bow towards Yi Ji.

"Don't be rude, Righteous Father." Ri Ji bent down and crouched.

Although she is now the king of Wu's favorite concubine, but the grade with Jiang Dafu is the same, when Jiang Dafu do left doctor, the grade is also higher than the Ripple Ji. Ripple Ji was adopted by Jiang Dafu at the age of eleven, and Jiang Dafu has a father and daughter name, so Ripple Ji private see Jiang Dafu, always line to see the elders salute.

"What is the matter with you ma'am coming so late?" Dr. Jiang asked carefully. This woman in front of you is definitely not the mildness your eyes see.

"Righteous Father, we're in big trouble!" Ri Ji sighed long and hard.

"How come? The King of Wu also said that he would promote Meifu to the left position after the ninth day of the ninth month." Daffy Jiang was stunned, the King of Wu wanted to appoint him as the Left Daffy this time, and the Hussar General and Wen Zai, who had been opposed to it, did not raise any objections, and Wen Zai was a close confidant of the Crown Prince.

"Of course they agreed, because they could easily take you down later." Rikki sneered.

In order to put Jiang Dafu on top of the position of the left doctor, Yi Ji and the ministers of the court fought countless times, Hussar General and Wen Zai deadlocked on the position of the left doctor, one is because Jiang Dafu on the throne will be divided into their authority, the other is that Jiang Dafu on the left position, more able to develop the power of the power.

Choking Jiang Dafu, is to choke their mother and son to ascend the throne, now the throne will actually fall into the hands of Prince Zhao, when Prince Zhao succeeded the throne, as long as the Jiang Dafu jacked off, they were divided up the right to go back.

"What then?" Dr. Kang's forehead was sweating.

"There is only one way for us to go, and that is to break through!" Ri Ji clenched both hands, she and her son were already standing on the edge of a cliff. "How many of the four Sima can be pulled together?"

"The Northern Sima is a man of the Hussar General, and can think nothing of this Sima. The Eastern Sima and Southern Sima are seeing the Tiger's Talisman to follow orders, only the Western Sima, has clearly leaned on us." Sima was in charge of the armed forces of Kang City, and only King Wu's Tiger Talisman could mobilize them. West Sima and Crown Prince Zhao did not deal with each other, and he was the one of the four major Simas who most wanted King Wu to abolish the first and establish the concubine.

"I asked you to liaise with the Lord of the Tang Kingdom, how is it going?" Ri Ji's face was slightly hesitant.

"Lord Tang has too big an appetite." Dr. Jiang was in a difficult position.

"What does he want?"

"He wants the shores of the Eastern Sea." Dr. Jiang said as he peeked at Yi Ji. The shore of the East Sea would be Yong's fiefdom, a salt-producing area, the richest of the fiefdoms.

"Give it to him! As long as he helps us make it happen." Rikki agreed without batting an eye.

"Yes, I'll send" Before Dr. Jiang could finish his words, he heard a light sound outside, and hastily stopped his words and pushed the door towards the outside to check.

"My Lord." The cronies guarding the doorway rushed over.

"What was that loud noise?"

"It's a cat on the roof." The crony pointed to the eaves of the roof, and Dr. Kang looked up and saw a pair of blue eyes on the roof; the black cat realized that a human was watching it and 'meowed' before disappearing behind the roof.

Kang Dafu sends Ri Ji back to the banquet site, and finds his protι–“ι–Ÿ and VIPs in even greater disarray. Upon further scanning, he realizes that Yu Kui is missing, and remembers the loud noises he heard in the compartment.

"Go, find out where Yu Kui is." Dr. Jiang recruited his followers to command.

The personal follower left and returned shortly afterward with a lewd look on his face. "My Lord, Yu Kui is outside the changing room." Dressing is similar to a modern toilet.

"Outside the dressing room? Haven't you changed your clothes by now?" Dr. Kang wondered, he'd been back at the feast long enough to be in the dressing room twice.

"Yu Kuei and the dancing girl are making love on the muddy ground outside the house." The close followers covered their mouths and laughed.

"This Yu Kui, too licentious!" Dr. Jiang laughed out loud, his suspicions about Yu Kui dispelled.

A few moments later, Yu Kui returned to the top of the banquet with false steps, covered in mud and dust, and some of the guests who had already heard that Yu Kui and the dancing girl were fooling around were warmly laughing towards Yu Kui.

Yu Kui take eyes to look at Jiang Dafu, found that Jiang Dafu is also cheek to cheek, the heart can not help but fall down, in order to cover the body of the mud and dust, Yu Kui can only drag a on the dressing room of the dancers, in the mud on the ground to mess around a gas.

Chu Chao Hui tapped his finger on the latest secret letter sent by Yu Kui, the capital of King Wu seems to be really lively.

In July, the sun is already shining hotly on the earth, a two-horse four-wheeled carriage running on the dirt road to Nambu, driving to the village of Houpo, the four-wheeled carriage began to slow down, the dirt road next to Houpo village, Zheng Yuming set up here to reject the horse barriers.

South port in the reason for setting up this barrier is that the south port is not protected, guarding the back slope next to the dirt road, the outlaws to go to the south port will have to turn over the ditch to climb the slope across the river, the refusal of the horse to play a role in preventing and delaying the role of the outlaws to reduce the large-scale banditry into the offense.

The horse barrier does not charge for passing vehicles and pedestrians, it is closed at night, and a watchtower has been built next to the horse barrier for the guards on duty at night. During the day, the barrier was opened to allow pedestrians and carriages to pass through a gap that could only be used by horse-drawn carriages. The guards would talk to the pedestrians and the owners of the carriages and let them pass if they had a Dacheng accent, but if they did not, they would have to be questioned, and the guards' task was to check for any suspicious persons. The guards on duty were all members of the Valley Patrol, and these guards either had a plum blossom mark on their foreheads or the word "slave" carved on their faces.

The four-wheeled carriage slowed down and slowly passed through the mouth of the gap, because of the hot weather, the windows on the carriage of the four-wheeled carriage were wide open, a skinny nobleman around forty years old was sitting on the carriage, the guards beside the refusing horse were already very familiar with this nobleman, as the carriage passed by, one by one, they made a simple salute towards the nobleman on the carriage.

Four-wheeled carriage slowly through the gap after the refusal of the horse, then let go of the speed running in the flat road, from the back slope to the south port of the road has been repaired very flat and very wide, rainy day vehicles can also run at high speed, the original dirt road has been turned into gravel and clay hard road. The fine gravel is dredged up from the Long River channel.

"Why does this Councilor Chen run to Nambu twice in three days?" A dark-skinned guard asked his companion beside him who had a pockmarked face.

"He must be looking for food at our lord's governor's residence." The pockmarked companion answered firmly.

"How could he, he's the patriarch of the largest family in Dacheng City, and he comes to see our lord for three days just to look for food in the governor's mansion?" This dark-skinned guard didn't believe it.

"Why not, last year this patriarch often came to ask for sweet potatoes, this year we have a lot more fresh food in the valley and the south port, and even more so, the lord attracted the hot day to rush here." Hemp slaves often followed Zheng Yuming to the south port last year, personally heard Zheng Yuming threatened Chen Meng, again to ask for sweet potatoes, this year will not give Chen's sweet potato seedlings.

"Hee hee, these adults want to beg for food to eat, and we enjoy it often." The dark guard suddenly laughed.

"Hush! Don't talk nonsense outside, Teacher Fan said that we have to keep a low profile, if we let the other noble lords know that we eat better than all of them, they will surely chastise our lord." The pockmarked slave immediately warned his companion.

The dark-skinned one had only been picked for the patrol in May of this year, and had not been cautious enough in dealing with the outside world. As a veteran member of the team, it was the responsibility of the pockmarked guard to teach his new colleague.

With a jolt, the dark-skinned slave swept his eyes around and realized that there were no stragglers beside the barrier except for his teammates, so his heart relaxed. This dark-skinned slave, is the end of last year into the valley, is Zheng Chu two people in the da city slave market to buy the last batch of slaves, since then, the valley to increase the new members in addition to the da city prison in the sin craftsmen, the other is with the valley set the contract of foreign civilians.

Jung Yoo Ming trusted slaves more than he did the civilians who had made a contract, and slaves were chosen for heavy duties like securing the valley and the south port. The duties of the patrols were heavy and hard, but their treatment was also top notch. In addition to a monthly salary of four gold, fresh vegetables grown in the valley were always prioritized for the canteens where the soldiers and patrol members were located. The days of the patrol members, in terms of food and clothing, were no worse than the minor nobles of Dar City.

Chen Meng reclined on the seat of the carriage, feeling the speed of the carriage, since the gravel road from Nanbu to Houpo was paved, every time the carriage traveled on this section of the road, Chen Meng's heart soared, and the speed of the carriage gave him the feeling of a steed galloping through the grassland. Looking out from the carriage window, he could only see the swish of green trees on both sides of the road going backward, these trees had not grown up yet, some species of trees were not seen in the Dacheng area, and it was said that they were all transplanted from the valley. Outside the car window most let Chen Meng envy is a piece of a piece of rice paddies divided into block type, the more rice paddies, that the water conservancy construction of Nambu built the better.

After the repair of the road from Houpo to Nambu, the original mule train to more than an hour's journey, now as long as half an hour, fast horse travel, then as long as ten minutes, Chen Meng's two horses pulling a four-wheeled wagon, the speed with the fast horse, fifteen or six minutes, the wagon slowed down to the entrance of the village, only to the entrance of the village, there is an old man stopped in front of the wagon, after saluting, handed the driver of the car two cloth bags, which are tied to the horse buttock These two cloth bags were tied to the horse's buttocks, to prevent the horse from pulling manure in the village.

"Little old man, this time the even family brought their own." The coachman pulled on the horse's reins and refused in a good-natured manner.

The old man tilted his head and saw that the two horses already had cloth bags tied behind their buttocks, and was not angry at being contradicted by the driver's tone of voice, but just bowed towards the four-wheeled carriage, and ran back to the village entrance to sit under a big tree, his eyes no longer looking at Chen Meng's carriage, but just staring at the avenue, waiting for the next vehicle to arrive.

The old man in his early fifties, this age in this time and space has been counted as an old man, the year of famine is proper to be sent to the mountains. Nambu in the past two years, a good harvest, families do not worry about food and clothing, the old man is not too burdensome, the old man ate well, well dressed, but the body is healthier than the original.

Nambu lack of labor, Zheng Yuming did not let these still able to do some light work of the elderly idle, in addition to the village of Nambu health package to the elderly to clean, but also to the village people and outsiders to promote cleanliness and hygiene system in Nambu, to ensure that Nambu has a clean living environment.

For those vehicles coming into the village, in order to prevent animals from urinating and defecating freely, the old man has to squat at the entrance of the village and give the vehicles coming into the village cloth bags to pocket the dung. These bags are not given for free, but must be paid for, and if you do not want to buy them, you can return them to the old man when you leave, and the old man will return the money for the bags.

The members of the sanitation brigade in the southern village totaled a dozen or so old men around the age of fifty, and they could receive a salary of two gold from the governor's office every month. The old men of the sanitation brigade cherished their job, for one thing, it was an income, and for another, it made them feel that they were useful to the village and no longer just wasting food waste.

Chen Meng just arrived in Nambu very puzzled Zheng Yuming's cleanliness, but after coming more often, only to find that Nambu is so clean that it is soothing, the village does not have dirty garbage, there is no stinking animal feces, and there is no one who urinates and defecates anywhere, because Nambu village in a conspicuous place, built two brick locker rooms, the locker room has two doors, one door is written with the word male, and below it, the figure of the man's likeness is painted, and one door is written with the word female, and under the word female is the figures with characteristic female curves. Failure to comply with sanitary regulations was punishable by a fine.

Recently, when Chen Meng returned to his fiefdom from Nanbu, he always had a strange feeling that the smell of livestock feces on his own fiefdom was unusually unpleasant, and the civilians who urinated and defecated everywhere were blinding. Chen Meng was already thinking about whether he should implement the hygiene regulations of Nanbu in his own fiefdom as well.

"Governor Jung! Governor Zheng! Come and greet the old man!" As soon as Chen Meng entered the governor's gate, he shouted at Zheng Yuming's office.

"Councilor Chen come and have a cup of fresh tea." Before Chen Meng entered the governor's residence, an escort had informed Zheng Yuming, who was already standing in the promenade outside his office to greet Chen Meng when he yelled.

"Good! Good! Old me is thirsty." Chen Meng's eyes smiled into a thin slit, he liked Zheng Yuming's clear tea here, this kind of tea is not boiled with salt, directly take the boiling spring water to rush, after brewing, the tea shape is very beautiful, soup color is tender green and bright, the aroma is fresh and high, the taste is fresh and mellow, every time he tastes it, there is a kind of yasha-like feeling.

Zheng Yuming was a little amused as he surveyed this Chen clan leader who was sniffing tea with his nose with his eyes closed. In the beginning, Chen Meng ran to Nambu for sweet potatoes, then came to Nambu often for the four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage cooperation, and now it was for the tea and noon lunch here in his place. Zheng Yuming is not accustomed to drinking boiled ground tea soup, the newborn tea leaves around the valley are picked and fried to make their own tea. The governor's lunch vegetables are all varieties of the twenty-first century, most of which should not be here.

After Chen Meng sat down and drank a cup of tea, he took out a drawing from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Zheng Yuming.

"Take a look, is this a good shape?" On the drawing was the appearance of a four-wheeled carriage, a tribute from Chen to the King of Wu. Chen Meng was also on the list of the entourage that went with Gongzi Guang into Kangdu on a pilgrimage.

"Hmm, not bad, it's already very flashy." Zheng Yuming took the drawing and looked at it, the vehicle's appearance was magnificent, in line with the status of the King of Wu.

"How are the preparations for Nambu's Le Yi going?" Chen Meng was complimented by Zheng Yuming, looking slightly pleased, now the car dealership business is good, orders have been scheduled until the end of the year.

"Training." Jung Yuming sighed.

There are so many things in the villa that can be made into tributes, just take one out, they are all rare. I didn't realize that Gong Ziguang was so impressed by the ventriloquism performed by Fan Jin last year that he directly requested that the tributes in Nambu be replaced by music arts. Fan Jin was shocked when he heard this, he was convicted in Wu Wangdu because his ventriloquism skills were too good, what if this happens again this time and he is convicted of a capital offense?

Zheng Yuming did not think that the ventriloquism that Fan Jin had already performed in Wu Wangdu would still cause a sensation, he and Chu Chao Hui discussed it and decided to select a few slaves who knew a little bit about music, playing modern Chinese style music to make a splash, and earning a little bit of popularity for Nambu. Wealth and fame must be hidden, talent and fame, the aristocracy of this era worship celebrities.

Zheng Yuming learned the guqin in elementary and junior high school. Zheng mother and Zheng father with all the hope of the heavenly parents, want to let their children multi-talented, Zheng Yuming and sister from elementary school, was sent to various interest classes by Zheng mother, a slip of interest classes down, Zheng Yuming learn guqin learn the fastest, Zheng mother was Zheng Yuming's guqin tutor a few fooled, think their son has the expectation of becoming a music titan, they spend a lot of money for their son to buy a guqin, when the Zheng family is still just an ordinary worker family. At that time, the Zheng family was still just an ordinary family of workers, the guqin bought, the Zheng family ate a year of vegetarian dishes.

Originally interested in the guqin Zheng Yuming, the guqin began to resent, although the guqin tutor has been emphasizing Zheng Yuming talented, but in Zheng Yuming's resistance, after entering high school, they refused to go to the guqin class. Zheng Yuming graduated from college, embarked on a social, think back to their own juvenile childish behavior, deeply sorry parents, the Zheng family ate a year of vegetarian guqin, was carried by Zheng Yuming to the base of the flowers and trees, leisure, Zheng Yuming will take out to play a few times.

With this foundation, Zheng Yuming was able to cobble together a piece of music and prepared to select some people in the valley to come out and play it, not wanting to realize that there were no civilians or slaves who could play music when they were selected.

Although there are folk songs and dances in Da Qin, they can't reach the hall of elegance, which is the temple and the court. The common people were neither qualified nor capable of accepting and appreciating, and had no chance to enter and participate in the music and dance of the dignitaries. In the mind of the ruling class, music and dance is part of the rituals of the Ding, is the political hierarchical rule of the auxiliary tools, the role is to maintain the hierarchy and political domination, just as slaves must serve the master, the same service, and therefore the songs and dances are designed for the nobles to perform the entertainers.

There were no more slaves or commoners in the valley who knew music, except for Fanjin and a few sinners; music, like writing, was monopolized by the nobles. These few selected sinners, like Fanjin, turned out to be artists.

Such a cobbled together playing class, is to catch the duck on the shelf, the good thing is that this piece is not long, only six or seven minutes, to September 9 there are two months, day and night rehearsals, by then should be played skillfully.

Chen Meng drank tea in Zheng Yuming's office for the morning, ate a lunch in the governor's house, took a nap, until four o'clock in the afternoon to go back by car.

As soon as Chen Meng left, several factory stewards all walked out of the compartment and lined up to report to Zheng Yuming's office. These few factory stewards were mostly slaves with plum blossom marks on their foreheads.

"My lord, the new fifty-material ship can be launched two months earlier." The wooden shipyard started work on two twenty-material and one fifty-material wooden ships at the same time. After receiving the news that he was going to make a pilgrimage to Kangcheng on September 9, Chu Chaohui ordered the shipyard to first rush the fifty-material ship with all its might. The head of the shipyard was here today to report the good news.

"Well, have the finance pay the workers their bonuses." Zheng Yuming approved a note to the person in charge of the wooden ship.

The head of the wooden boat took the approval and left with a smile on his face.

"The guards have been selected for this additional selection, the list is here, please have a look at it, Your Excellency." Ma Ren handed over a blank piece of paper, he was temporarily selected to train the guards in Nanbu. The four company commanders were rotating to lead the team in Nambu, rotating once every half a month.

Zheng Yuming took the white paper, looked at the list, and then looked at the family information of the people on the list, signed the paper, and handed it to Ma Ren to file in the archives.

After Maren left, Wu Da came in wiping his sweat.

"Big brother, come have a cup of herbal tea." Zheng Yuming picked up the tea pot and poured a cup of tea for Wu Da.

"This day is too hot." Wu Da took the cup of tea and drank it all in one go, one cup did not feel like quenching his thirst, he poured two more cups and drank them before feeling addicted. "Second brother, the houses are rented out."

The houses that Wu Da refers to are the stores and workshops that were originally rebuilt after being burned by fire, and the rebuilt stores are all two-story brick houses. Except for the hotel and inn, which were operated by the governor's office, all the other stores were rented out to the public. Some goodsmen and merchants had already sensed the business opportunities in Nambu, and the stores that were rented out to the public were leased by them.

"Big brother, don't work too hard, take care of your body." Zheng Yuming realized that Wu Da had lost a lot of weight, but his spirit was much better.

"Heh heh! I'm happy to be busy for my brother." Wu Da cracked a smile, this kind of busy life was meaningful because its effect was awesome, Nambu had a kind of change from one day to the next.

Zheng Yuming watched Wu Da leave and regretted in his heart that among the people who rented the stores, there were no people from Nambu Village.

Today's Great Qin was similar to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States of the original time period, and the status of merchants was equivalent. In this period, merchants were not lowly, not anyone could go into business, those who did business were usually of noble status. The vassal states are divided, they need circulation, need to exchange, the monarchs welcome merchants, but also beware of merchants, the number of vehicles entering the country are limited, the more strength and background of the merchants, the cheaper to walk the countries. Without connections, ordinary people can't do business.

Small merchants like Wu Mu, also has a noble bloodline, know some words and noble etiquette, can be recognized by the nobles in Chu, can sell cloth and silk in Chu. Later, with the financial support of Zheng Chu and the two men, only then did they really open the gateway to the Chu market.

As the sun went down in the west, Huo Sizhong ran in with gusto. "My lord, Lord Chu's ship has returned."

"Oh, has the ship passed Nambu yet?" Zheng Yuming was delighted, stood up and headed out, this was the second time Chu Chao Hui had sneaked off to Tang.

"No, I came back to report when I saw the big ship." Chu Chao Hui's wooden boat to Tang was a big boat of twenty materials, and there was no bigger boat than that at Nambu Pier, Huo Sizhong knew that the boat was Chu Chao Hui traveling on as soon as he saw such a big big boat coming from the south of the Yangtze River.

Chu Chao Hui's wooden boat will not disembark in Nanbu, Zheng Yuming did not go to the pier to wait, and Huo Sizhong two people rode back to the valley. Back to the valley in the villa did not dismount, directly to the western pier of the valley. Rushed to the pier, just in time to see Chu Chao Hui from the diving board on shore.

"Chao Hui, where's Wei Qing?" Wei Qing went to the Tang with Chu Chaohui.

"I'll have Wei Qing go from Tang to Wudu City and come back after meeting Yu Kui at Wudu City." Chu Chao Hui walked to Zheng Yuming's side and stared at him intently, both of them spoke Mandarin and were not afraid that the people next to them would understand.

Chu Chao Hui would have very much wanted to sneak into the capital of King Wu and feel the situation of the capital city if it wasn't for the fact that he was too tall and would attract attention.

Taking a trip from Nanbu to Tang, a round trip by boat would take four or five days, and with Chu Chaohui staying in Tang territory for a few days, the two of them had ten days of separation. After Zheng Yuming finished questioning Wei Qing's words, it was clear that there were many things to discuss and discuss, but under Chu Chao Hui's greedy gaze, he didn't know what to say.

"You'll have to lend me your horse." Chu Chao Hui took the horse's reins from Zheng Yuming and rolled onto the horse. "Come! Get on!" Sitting on the horse, Chu Chaohui smiled, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected his face with exceptional rigidity.

Zheng Yuming's hand was just on Chu Chao Hui's hand when he was pulled onto the horse at once by a force, and he was pulled in front of Chu Chao Hui.

"Yuming, sit still!" Chu Chao Hui's mouth was pressed against Zheng Yuming's ear, and his two hands surrounded Zheng Yuming's body to control the horse's reins.

Zheng Yuming felt his face burning, he felt stupid enough to come to pick up Chu Chaohui but didn't think to bring his horse. Now that the two of them were riding together, Chu Chaohui had hugged him so tightly that in this hot weather, Zheng Yuming had a symptom that he was going to have a heat stroke.

Zheng Yuming was lucky that he didn't suffer from heat stroke because Huo Si Zhong thoughtfully sent the horses after realizing that Zheng Yuming forgot to bring a mount for Chu Chao Hui.

After the people in the valley ate dinner, they burned mosquito repellent grass in a clearing, lit a fire, and moved small wooden stools to sit not far from the fire. It was here that the Valley Players received instruction from Zheng Yuming. As soon as the people in the valley finished their dinner, they would gather here to watch the playing team rehearse.

The music composed by Zheng Yuming used the drums, guqin, erhu, flute and qiang. Players are too short, only play drums and Qiang complete personnel, guqin, erhu, flute no one can play, need to be taught, erhu to Fan Jin, flute picked a teenager to practice, the guqin by Zheng Yuming hand in hand to teach an original play guzheng artists. The erhu and guqin were readily available in the villa, and the erhu was a relic of Zheng Yuming's grandfather. The flute and drum were made by valley craftsmen, and Qiang had asked for them from the Ulsan government.

Rehearsals were conducted in small segments, and the people in the valley could not hear the complete music, even so, people listened with great interest, especially when Zheng Yuming did the demonstration of playing, people were listening with their ears perked up. A few young girls in the valley were even staring at Zheng Yuming with fascination.

The practice of the recital team did not cease until nearly the end of the hour, the people on the open field left with great reluctance, the mounds of mosquito repellent grass had burned out, the fires were extinguished, and in a short time the valley was quieted.

Zheng Yuming went back to the villa, carried a bucket of well water poured in the downstairs bath, seeped a bottle of hot water into the bathtub, there is no running water and electricity, bathing can only be in the bathtub tub bath. There are three hot water bottles in the villa, Zheng Yuming and Chu Chao Hui in the villa use hot water, are relying on the hot water bottle supply.

Zheng Yuming finished his shower, put on a pair of pants and wanted to head upstairs, just out of the bathroom door, he was embraced by a tall black shadow.

"Yuming!" Chu Chao Hui breathing rapidly, in Zheng Yuming bath, he has stood outside the bathroom thought struggle for half a day, the feeling of the evening embrace has not been able to disappear, in the second floor to listen to half a night of Zheng Yuming's melodious guqin music, more and more mood surging.

Zheng Yuming was just out of the bathroom when he was suddenly hugged by Chu Chao Hui, and before he could react, he was pressed against the wall and kissed by Chu Chao Hui. Chu Chao Hui's kiss was very urgent, with a strong desire in it, Zheng Yuming's feeling of having a heat stroke came again. This time Zheng Yuming was still lucky, he still wasn't able to get a heat stroke because the wood was barking furiously at Chu Chao Hui.

Chu Chao Hui holding Zheng Yuming and chewing and licking action, let the wood thought Chu Chao Hui in his master murder, to protect the master is the wood lifelong duty, in order to master's personal safety, the wood defiantly towards the outlaw barking, and with its small dog teeth bite the outlaw's trouser leg straight back to drag, a 'snort' sound, outlaw trouser leg tearing, embracing together the The two were forced to separate.

After saving the personal safety of the master, the wood is tightly guarded at the master's side, as long as the outlaw dares to get close to the master within five paces, the wood bared its teeth and threatened, the outlaw faced with the wood's heroism, finally defeated, helplessly returned to their own rooms.

Woody thought that his master must have appreciated his valor, because he held him and laughed most of the night.

58

Zheng Yuming woke up in the sound of birds chirping, summer morning, the halo has long penetrated the villa's screens, screens outside the green number of swaying with the wind.

Touching the wood around him, Zheng Yuming's mood is very comfortable, recalling last night's Chu Chao Hui's woes, Zheng Yuming could not help but laugh out loud. Wood saw the master woke up, jumped out of bed, ran to the door of the room, waiting for the master to open the door to it, it wants to go downstairs outside the courtyard wall urination and defecation. Wooden is a good wolfhound, has never urinated and defecated anywhere.

See the wood impatient look, Zheng Yuming quickly out of bed to open the bedroom door, the door just opened, the wood is like an arrow to the downstairs.

Zheng Yuming glimpsed the door to Chu Chao Hui's room wide open, apparently Chu Chao Hui had already gotten up and gone downstairs, without seeing Chu Chao Hui, Zheng Yuming's heart was slightly lost. But when he brushed his teeth and just wiped his face, he realized that the figure of the miscreant who wanted to plot against him last night appeared in the mirror.

"I thought about you for a night without sleeping." Chu Chao Hui wrapped his arms around Jung Yuming from behind. His chin rested against Zheng Yuming's shoulder, and his speaking voice was slightly hoarse.

"Wood and I both had a good night's sleep." Zheng Yuming looked at Chu Chao Hui in the mirror, his lips pursed slightly.

"Yuming! , you promised, didn't you?" Chu Chao Hui's arms around Zheng Yuming tightened a bit, yesterday's embracing kiss was not rejected or chided, giving him great certainty.

Jung Yuming slowly turned around and pushed Chu Chao Hui away slightly. "I've never felt like I have homosexual tendencies."

Before he was transported here, Zheng Yuming never had any doubts about his sexuality, but a spring dream he had in the governor's mansion in the Spring Festival made him nonchalant, and Chu Chao Hui's every move towards him made him sensitive.

"I feel I feel that you care about me." Chu Chao Hui's heart tightened, Zheng Yu Ming's actions of caring more and more about him, could it be his illusion?

"I do care about you, I care about you the most in this world, but I don't know what this is." Jung Yoo Ming was now in a state of great doubt, Chu Chao Hui's hugs and kisses on him made him react in a way that he never felt with his ex-girlfriend.

Could it be that he turned out to be a homo and only reacted violently when he was close to men? But why is it that with so many workers at the Flower and Wood Base, bare-armed and topless in the summer, he never had an idea?

"Love is what cares the most about the other person." Chu Chao Hui was relieved, the corners of his mouth began to rise, his two eyes slightly curved, and his thumbs rubbed against Jung Yuming's face. "Yuming! You're loving me!"

"What about you? You originally is" Zheng Yuming's face to the side slightly biased a little. Now think carefully about the two people together, Zheng Yuming realized that Chu Chao Hui to him early stored in the heart, at that time to him seemingly joking words, in fact, all hidden teasing.

"I turned out to be uninterested in women." Chu Chao Hui answered dryly.

Zheng Yuming's face couldn't help but slate as he listened to Chu Chao Hui's dry admission.

"Then you should have loved so much originally."

So sure to clarify their sexual orientation, Chu Chao Hui can not be to the early thirties have no emotional experience, Chu Chao Hui stayed in the environment, than the society of pornographic places are messy. Zheng Yuming thought of this, then felt bored in the heart.

"No feelings particularly deep, but before being transported here by the blue light, it was a crush on someone, but I didn't get to do anything about it."

Chu Chao Hui careful answer, he turned out not really loved anyone, but sexual partners have had several, are the kind of you love me, after the snogging each go their own way.

In Chu Chao Hui's knowledge, as a billionaire Zheng Yuming love history must have had several sections, is up to now, Chu Chao Hui do not know Zheng Yuming is actually still a virgin. After the two teleported here, can't hear Zheng Yuming talk about girlfriend or lover, villa also no women's products, these signs had let Chu Chao Hui heart secretly happy.

"Didn't get to do anything?" Jung Yuming's voice trailed off as the uncomfortable feeling in his heart intensified.

"I was with him for just over two hours before I was transported here."

Zheng Yuming heart choked, in two hours together have a good feeling, that man in the end how excellent?

Chu Chaohui grabbed Jung Yuming's face before it was all pulled down and added. "I didn't have time to do anything to him in the twenty-first century, and I want to spend the rest of my life with him here."

"You," Jung Yuming reacted, the man was himself.

Chu Chao Hui with diamonds to hide to the supermarket underground parking lot, is trying to eliminate the two drops of blood on the ground, Zheng Yuming's Grand Cherokee drove over, the tires just pressed on the blood, found Zheng Yuming get out of the car did not lock the car, the Grand Cherokee car body ads address and more than a hundred kilometers outside the city of Chu Chao Hui would like to take the car away from the city of Su, and so on Zheng Yuming get on the car, Chu Chao Hui found the owner of the car outward appearance is very much in line with his feelings! If not on the occasion of the escape encounter, Chu Chao Hui really want to develop a relationship with the owner of the car.

If there was no blue light to teleport the villa to Da Qin, Chu Chao Hui would probably just bandage his wounds and tie Zheng Yuming to the villa to leave to continue to run for his life. The two would not have crossed paths again in the future.

"Waiting to know that this is not the original time and space, instead, I was so happy in my heart that I felt that not only did I escape from the pursuit, but maybe I could even come with you for a while." Chu Chao Hui by now was truly glad that the blue light had sent him and Zheng Yuming to the otherworld. The more time they spent together, the more he felt that his first feeling for Zheng Yuming was right, and that Zheng Yuming was the person he wanted to spend his life with in his heart.

"I'm not going to come with you for a while!" After realizing that he was the one Chu Chao Hui felt good about, Zheng Yuming's sulkiness disappeared, but when he heard Chu Chao Hui say something like having a dewy-eyed affair, his face slumped again.

"In the beginning, we were not familiar with each other, right? The more we get along, the more I can't let go of you, and later on, I thought of finishing this life with you." Zheng Yuming's expression pleased Chu Chaohui, he wrapped one hand around Zheng Yuming tightly, one hand picked up Zheng Yuming's chin, ready to kiss up.

"Woof! Woof!" Woody arrived just in time.

Chu Chao Hui turned his head towards the wood on the ground, the wood was arching his back and frying his dog's hair staring at him, seeing Chu Chao Hui stop moving, the wood also stopped barking.

Chu Chao Hui turned back and wanted to continue, the wood barked furiously, Chu Chao Hui stopped, the wood stopped, a few rounds, Zheng Yuming could not hold back any longer, pushed away Chu Chao Hui according to the lavatory and laughed.

"This little guy!" Chu Chao Hui smiled helplessly. To the wood, he could only love the house.

Woody smiled broadly at the sight of his master, feeling that his master was no longer in danger, and he cocked his little doggy head, a little puzzled as to why his master was being bullied and still being pleasant.

"You're still laughing, you'll have to lock the wood downstairs in the future." Chu Chao Hui's eyes were bright, he felt that the smiling Zheng Yuming was more delicious. "Okay?" One of Chu Chao Hui's hands moved around Zheng Yuming's waist. If Zheng Yuming agreed to leave the light bulb downstairs, it meant he could have sexual happiness in the future.

"Chaohui, let's talk about our affairs later." Zheng Yuming couldn't be completely sure of the feelings between him and Chu Chao Hui, he was afraid that he and Chu Chao Hui would mistakenly take other affections for love because of their similar values and reliance on each other. "Besides, we're going to the capital city of Wu soon, and we don't know what's going to happen to the Kingdom of Wu in the future." The uncertainty of the throne of Wu was like a knife hanging over the head of Nanbu.

"Yuming, as long as I'm around, I'll protect you well." Chu Chao Hui promised.

"It should be good for both of us." Jung Yuming retorted that the two of them depended on each other, and the absence of one was loneliness.

Chu Chao Hui looked at Zheng Yuming with a smile, it was this kind of nature that made him like to love.

From Dacheng to the capital city of Kang, a fast horse can reach there in two days, but if the caravan walks, it will take four or five days. The bannermen who are summoned to go to the capital city of the king basically rush to the capital city a few days in advance, after all, a trip back to the capital city of the king is very difficult, and it is a rare opportunity for the bannermen to get in touch and liaise with ministers of the imperial court.

Just after the Moon Festival, Gongzi Guang urged Wei Shen to leave, he couldn't wait to visit his father and elder brother in the royal capital. At the end of the month, a delegation of eighty or so pilgrims set out for the royal capital. One of Gong Ziguang's uncles guarded Dacheng, while the other one escorted the delegation to the border of the fiefdom. When they arrived at the border of the fiefdom, the Huben army stopped advancing, and they camped here, waiting for the delegation to return from the pilgrimage.

The lord of the vassal state summoned the feudal lord for an audience, and there was a limit to the number of people in the feudal lord's delegation to the royal capital, which could not be more than a hundred. The lord of the vassal state is wary of the feudal lord, and the feudal lord is also secretly wary of the lord of the state, and under the pretext of safety on the road, he will always let the Huben of his own fiefdom to escort to the edge of the fiefdom, and stationed at the edge of the fiefdom, so as to form a deterrent to the lord of the vassal state, and let the lord of the state think twice when he wants to dispose of them.

The nobles from Dacheng who went to the audience, together with Gong Ziguang there were only eight of them, besides Wei Shen, Chen Meng, Zheng Yuming and Chu Chao Hui, there were three other nobles of Dacheng who were more established, the patriarch Guo was old and didn't come, and Guo was only escorted by Guo Huben. The second most numerous noble in the mission, besides the followers that Gong Ziguang brought, was Nanbu, as Nanbu brought a band that performed and played. Although Nanbu seemed to bring more people than the other nobles, Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui both did not bring slaves and servants to serve like the other nobles, but only brought Wei Qing and Huo Sizhong, two teenagers to follow.

Gong Ziguang is the best mood in the mission, he rode a four-wheeled carriage is very spacious, there is a coffee table, the evening coffee table put away, put down the movable board can make a bed to lie down. If the wild sleep in the wild, four-wheeled carriage is a ready-made shelter.

"Zheng Qing, do you people from Bermuda often go out and travel in this kind of vehicle?" Zheng Yuming was always seen on Gong Ziguang's four-wheeled carriage, and as long as Zheng Yuming was not in Gong Ziguang's line of sight, Gong Ziguang would send mute slaves to look for him.

"Yes, it's all in these cars." Self-drive is a four-wheeler, but not a horse-drawn four-wheeler, but an engine-pulled one.

Zheng Yuming is very distressed, after understanding Chu Chao Hui's love for him, Zheng Yuming just wants to keep a distance from Gong Ziguang, one Chu Chao Hui is enough, Zheng Yuming doesn't want to mess with someone else. But Gong Zi Guang's clinginess to him cannot be clearly rejected.

"Zheng Qing, Kang City is very large, its walls are very majestic, and the city is very prosperous. When we get there, Guang will show Qing how it is." When Gongzi Guang talked about Kang City, he had a sense of pride.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Zheng Yuming was also very eager to see the ancient capital of two thousand years ago.

"Why doesn't Qing wear jade?" Gong Ziguang's eyes swept to Zheng Yuming's waist without ornaments, and could not help but wonder. Which nobleman does not wear jade, jade is a gentleman.

"Forgot, tomorrow will wear." Zheng Yuming feel the waist jingling is very troublesome, he himself did not buy jade, the existing jade jewelry are Gongziguang given, this time out, are packed in a box to bring around, just ready to participate in major places to wear.

"Qing don't forget to wear jade in the future." Dacheng is a small place, no one says much if you don't wear jade, in a place like the royal capital where big nobles gather, if you don't wear jade, it will make the nobles despise you.

"Aye! Yuming takes note." With Gongzi Guang emphasizing jade ornaments so much, Zheng Yuming felt that in the future, he would have to buy some good jade to fill up his face.

Chu Chao Hui, who rode his horse and followed closely behind Gong Zi Guang's four-wheeled carriage walking, looked straight ahead with both eyes, lips pursed, face taut, a look of full alert, but his ears listened to the conversation of the people in the carriage, refusing to let go of any details.

Wei Shen, who was sitting on the carriage behind Gong Ziguang, continuously stroked his beautiful beard, and in his heart, he was very pleased that Chu Chao Hui was doing his duty.
