Daming Junior Scholar

Not only that, while the chicken was stewed in the pot, He Jia'an asked someone to set up a few wooden racks, washed and peeled all the remaining pheasants and hares, put them on the racks, and slowly roasted them over a low fire.

Zhu Yiguang knows how to eat, but he doesn't know how these foods are made. He also moved to He Jiaan's side curiously, and asked in puzzlement, "How does Mr. know so many ways to eat?"

"That's too much?" He Jia'an glanced at him disdainfully, and said with emotion: "Actually, my biggest wish in this life is to cook a lot of dishes and then feed them to my family."

"Sir, do you still have family members?" Zhu Yi didn't care so much, he just said whatever came to his mind.

"Nonsense, could it be that I jumped out of a rock?" He Jiaan coaxed Zhu Yi, and then said, "I'm already married."

"Really?" Zhu Yi was quite surprised, and asked curiously, "Then why didn't Master Mistress come to Nanchang Mansion with you?"

"I still have some business in Suzhou and Qingjiangpu, and your mistress can't come here for the time being." He Jiaan didn't want to explain the problem too clearly, but just said something roughly.

Zhu Yi looked down on doing business. The status of a businessman is extremely low these days. A dignitary like him naturally disdains to do business. If he hadn't saved some face for He Jia'an, Zhu Yi would have pouted a long time ago.Even if he didn't say it, He Jiaan knew what he was thinking, and he didn't need to explain too much to him. Even if he explained, he was still a businessman. After a while, when the smell of roast chicken slowly dissipated, he put Zhu Yi's full attention

Attracted, He Jia'an took it and sprinkled some salt on it, peeled off a piece with a knife, handed it to Zhu Yi, and said with a smile: "Try it, you must have never eaten such food."

This is indeed true. Zhu Yi has never eaten such a simple food in his life. He took the chicken handed over by He Jia'an half-believingly, but the first bite was passed to the mouth of the waiter beside him.

This is called poison tasting.

He Jiaan understood, just smiled and didn't care, he didn't care who took the first bite, since he didn't eat, he took the first bite.

The taste of roasting in the mountains is different from the roasting at home. It has a feeling of being close to nature. If Tangning is here, it will be even more wonderful. He will definitely like this feeling.After tasting the first bite, Zhu Yi couldn't stop. Whether it was the roasted pheasant and hare, or the clear chicken soup, everything gave him a feeling of whetting his appetite, and he kept eating. Don't stop until you can't move anymore

down.

Looking at He Jiaan with adoring eyes, Zhu Yi said in the first sentence: "Sir, can we stay for another day tomorrow?"

"If you are not afraid of your father's anger, you can stay for a few days." He Jia'an replied flatly. "Uh, let's forget it." When mentioning King Ning, Zhu Yi was afraid from the bottom of his heart. Game in the mountains can be found anywhere, but his father is not something he can afford to offend, so he looked at it aggrieved. He Jiaan glanced at him and said resentfully: "Then I understand

I still want to eat roast chicken. "After speaking, I got into my tent and fell asleep.

Chapter 254

Nothing to say all night.At dawn the next day, He Jia'an got up from the tent, ate some dry food in a hurry, and after packing up, the group of people got up again. They wanted to take advantage of the cool weather in the early morning to set off quickly and try to arrive a few days earlier. ten miles away

Hongmen County to rest.Ever since he got on the horse, Zhu Yi has been unable to wake up. From his appearance, he is clearly still thinking about the delicious pheasant meal yesterday. I have a cold expression today,

His own words were still swallowed by him.The farther he walked, the more dignified the expression on He Jiaan's face was. Normally speaking, it was only two hours' journey from the place of departure to Hongmen County, but he had traveled so far, how could there be a continuous journey on the road? None of the caravans came across

?And even pedestrians didn't meet one, which is a strange thing.There are many high mountains in Jiangxi, and they are accompanied by bandits. And these bandits, like Japanese pirates, come and go like the wind. After looting a place, they immediately hide back in the mountains. Quite let

People have a headache.After walking for more than an hour, there was still no trace of pedestrians in front of him. He Jiaan had no doubts in his heart, so he first called the chief guard over, and after giving some instructions in a low voice, the whole team changed to another formation. Shape, put He Jia

An and Zhu Yi were surrounded in the middle, and the guards had already pressed their hands on the handle of the knife, watching the surrounding mountains and dense forests vigilantly, and the whole team began to move forward at a faster speed.

The chilling atmosphere also affected Zhu Yi, his drowsy expression had long since disappeared, and he followed closely behind He Jia'an, with a look of panic on his face, looking nervously at both sides of the road. "Mr. He, what's the matter?" After speeding up and walking for a while, Zhu Yi already felt that his thigh started to hurt. Before, he would have asked the team to stop and rest, but today he couldn't even hum. dare not snort

, gritted his teeth hard, and when he couldn't bear it, he quietly asked He Jia'an.

Such a simple matter, I am afraid that most people can see it, but you are an idiot who still looks at a loss, He Jiaan didn't even look back, and directly replied: "Didn't the little prince find anything wrong here?"

"No?" Zhu Yi was stunned for a moment, looked around and shook his head, as if he said to himself: "There is nothing wrong, oh, I found it." Oh, this is not bad, my brain has finally opened up, Before He Jiaan turned around to praise Zhu Yi, Zhu Yi said: "Although there are many mountains here, the woods are not very dense. It must be because there is not much mountain flavor. Mr. He must want to catch up sooner."

Go ahead and look for a wooded spot? "

He Jia'an really wanted to kick Zhu Yi off the horse, what was he pretending to be in his head, sometimes he was smart and sometimes stupid, teaching such a student was really torturous.I didn't bother to pay attention to such a stupid student. After driving for a while, I calculated that the distance to Hongmen County should not be very far. After turning around a bend, the sight suddenly became clear, and then a column of smoke appeared in the crowd in sight

.

"Mr. He, there seems to be danger ahead." Those who can become the head of the guard in the palace are naturally not ordinary people. Seeing this column of smoke from a distance, one knows that it must not be caused by a simple fire.Looking at the direction of the smoke column, it was Hongmen County that he was planning to go to. He Jiaan couldn't help hesitating for a moment, thinking for a while, this place is still a long way from the coast, it should not be the work of Japanese pirates, other than Japanese pirates , Only those bandits are left to do such cruel things. The key is that the number of these troops I brought is too small, and I don’t even have a hard bow in my hand except for a waist knife. When bandits meet together, the one who suffers can only

is himself.

But here comes the problem again, there is only one road to Yongxiang, and this Hongmen County is an inevitable place, so if you don't go forward, you have to go back?

But even if he retreats by himself, there is no guarantee that he will not encounter bandits who retreated. Without the protection of the city wall, I am afraid that people like himself will not be their opponents at all.

Thinking of this, He Jiaan turned his head and asked the chief guard: "In your opinion, can we people solve the siege of Hongmen?"

Hearing He Jiaan's words, the chief guard had an ugly expression on his face. He first glanced at Zhu Yi, and then smiled wryly: "Mr. He, our duty is to protect the little prince. As for Hongmen...don't there be officers and soldiers?" If you depend on those officers and soldiers for everything, I am afraid that Hongmen County has been breached long ago. At this moment, He Jiaan realized how important it would be to have a force of his own in his hands. After hesitating, He Jiaan explain

He said: "In this case, why don't we sneak over first, if there are not many bandits, we will help them out, if there are many bandits, we are sneaking away, anyway, we won't put the little prince in danger. yes."

Now that Mr. He said so, the head of the guard didn't have any objections. A few scout horses were installed in front of the team, and the group of people gradually approached the direction of Hongmen County along the road.Getting closer, the sounds of fighting and shouting gradually penetrated into everyone's ears. The guards were okay, but the little prince Zhu Yi's face became paler and paler. When he saw the city wall of Hongmen County, I was miserable from above

The situation was so startled that he almost fell off his horse.

He Jia'an can be regarded as someone who has experienced life and death and seen blood, but he was still shocked by such a tragic scene in front of him.At this time, the gate of Hongmen County has been completely opened. Looking from here, hundreds of people have gathered at the gate and mixed together. I am afraid that they can't even tell who is the enemy and who is the friend. The big knife in the hand is crazy

He slashed down wildly, and when the blade entered his body, there were bursts of wailing sounds, like a demon from hell. "Mr. He, let's withdraw." Seeing this scene, the chief guard knew that he must not be able to get involved in this battle. Even if all these dozens of people were involved, it would not be of much help. Maybe people will think

I am the reinforcement of the bandits, and if I attack twice, I will kill myself if I don't keep it.

"Wait a minute." He Jiaan shook his head lightly, his eyes were firmly fixed on the direction of the city gate. It is conceivable that people from the entire Hongmen County had already gathered here, defending it with their own lives. This door.

If bandits were allowed to break through this door, one can imagine the result after waiting for them.

It's fine if I don't see it, but a human catastrophe is about to appear in front of me, but I turn around and run away in desperation, my conscience is the first to feel sorry.At this moment, He Jiaan's eyes suddenly noticed a place two arrows away from the city gate, where a team of more than a hundred people was focused, and they were also watching the gate of the city like spectators. The battle is already at the gate of the city

When there was a mess, one of the group of people suddenly waved his hand, and then saw the group of people rushing towards the city gate like a tide.Too bad, bandits actually have reinforcements.

Come stop

At this time, the situation in Hongmen County was even worse than He Jiaan thought.In a small place like Hongmen County, there is usually no brigade of officers and soldiers stationed here. Usually, the guards in charge of the city are sentinel troops belonging to the Guangxin Qianhu Office. There are only more than 100 people, and a sentry chief is stationed here. , usually look at the city gate, go out of the city

Hunting is a happy life.However, today has become the darkest day in their lives. After opening the city gate as usual in the morning, the officers and soldiers who opened the gate have already noticed that there are more people waiting to enter the city today than in the past, but not too many many, two, three

There were only ten people, pushing more than a dozen small carts, which were full of wooden boxes, and looked more like a caravan from afar.

Now he deserves to make a fortune, with so many people and so much money, there must be oil and water in it.The corporal chief on duty in the morning is surnamed Qin, although he is just a lowly corporal chief, but he usually puts on airs, even if he sees the whistle, he looks indifferent, as if his official is more important than the whistle chief. As big as it is, open the city gate today

He noticed the convoy, and he had already started to make up his own little calculations in his heart. While driving, he went up to meet him, stretched out his big hand, and shouted: "Stop coming." The convoy that had just started stopped immediately. The few people on the side of the convoy looked at me and I looked at you, the last person who looked like a shopkeeper came over with a smile, nodded and bowed and said: "Master Jun, you have worked hard, you have worked hard.

"

The visitor was not polite, he grabbed Wuchang Qin's hand as soon as he stretched out his hand, looking at the warm look, as if the two were friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Feeling the feeling coming from the palm of his hand, Wuchang Qin immediately knew in his heart that this piece of silver can be worth two or two taels, which is really quite enough.

Nodding his head slowly, the expression on Qin Wuchang's face gradually relaxed. It's one thing to receive money, but you have to ask yourself what you should ask. Pointing to the box on the trolley, he asked: "Everything in it is full of money." What is it?"

"Master Hui Jun, I bought a batch of coarse cloth from Nanchang." The shopkeeper said, and opened the box of the first car. Qin Wuchang came up to him and took a look. Sure enough, the car was full of piles. It was full of coarse cloth.

Now that it has been checked and the money has been collected, let's let it go. Qin Wuchang waved his hand, waved at the subordinates behind him, and said loudly: "Let go."

"Yes." The corporal chief had checked everything, and the officers and soldiers under him would naturally not be troublesome, so he quickly moved away the horses blocking the gate of the city, and the people also stepped aside.
