The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

On the avenue along the Yellow River, two fast horses galloped past in autumn colors.

The merchants who heard the ringing of the bell and evaded them from a distance were shocked to find that of the two horses passing by them, one had two adult men sitting on it, and the other was only carrying goods. The horse that had passed the two of them ran even faster.

What a horse!The passers-by who had just dodged were amazed, and then they criticized: Riding with two people is too disrespectful to horses!

That horse with two camels is Duoduo, and the one who can sit on its back is naturally Lu An and Wei Liao.

It is a last resort for two people to ride together. Lu An's riding skills are good, and he can handle daily travel and emergency situations, but his riding skills are far from meeting the requirements of long-term galloping.

In the age when there were no stirrups, to control oneself sitting on a horse depends entirely on the strength of the waist and legs. Without strict training, there is no way to bump on the horse's back for a long time. Because of this, even a horse-producing state like Qin In the country, the training of cavalry is still a big difficulty.

Considering this, when Lu An was tidying up his things, Wei Liao directly took off the armor and put it on Lu An's horse, and asked Lu An to ride a lot with him.Lu An is thin, and riding with two people is only a little worse than his previous armor and sharpness. Duoduo adapted well.

As for Lu An, Lu An can only choose to sit in the front or the back with a blushing face. The front is exposed to the wind but has a better view, and the back is not windy but requires him to hold someone and use his strength to stabilize himself.

Lu An sat behind Wei Liao with his arms around his waist, and buried his face in his back. Duoduo ran very steadily, and even had a sense of rhythm. Lu An, who got used to this rhythm, gradually relaxed. Ann asked, "Senior brother, how come you came to pick me up?"

"Report at the end of the year." Wei Liao said concisely, from Shu County to Xianyang, you have to take the Shu Road, and the Shu Road is extremely dangerous when it snows in winter, so officials from Shu County will report their duties earlier than ordinary officials, and they can enter Beijing in autumn You can wait until the snow melts in spring before going back, as did Lu An back then.

"I'm in Xianyang. After the queen ordered, Lu Xiangbang asked me to pick up Jingxi."

Lu An was silent for a moment, has the situation become so serious?He murmured, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, how is your lord?"

This time, Wei Liao didn't give him an answer, and Lu An also knew the answer. He took a deep breath, "How could it be like this all of a sudden..."

Although Zhao Zheng told him that his father's health was not good, but Lu An had just heard the news, and now King Qin was seriously ill, and he was so ill that he needed to go to Beijing quickly, which made it difficult for him to accept for a while. .

Why did it suddenly come to this point?

Lu An is about to take over the post of Zhisu Neishi. Zhisu Neishi is the Da Nong Order of later generations.This position does not hold military power, but it holds the economic lifeline of Qin State, which will allow him to enter Beijing as soon as possible, simply because the two thousand stones in Zhisu Neishi can give him an extra right to speak.

That is to say, Zhao Ji felt that Yiren might not be able to survive, and had to prepare for the handover of the throne.

Even though the King of Qin had only one son, Zhao Zheng had been designated as the crown prince, and his accession to the throne was a certainty, but it was almost impossible for the royal power to be handed over smoothly.

No, if you think about it carefully, it’s not without signs. It’s a sign that Zhao Zheng was crowned at the age of 19. All the messages before this moment were strung together. It started last year..."

Wei Liao's eyelids drooped slightly, and he didn't make a sound.

Lu An gritted his teeth and leaned his forehead against his lover's back, the circles of his eyes gradually turned red.

The relationship between him and other people can really be said to be close.As an emperor, he promoted Lu An as a courtier all the way. As an elder, he often cared about his studies and life, and was even entrusted by him to personally intercede for Wei Liao.

Because of this, Lu An felt even more sad at this point.

"It's because I'm not sensible." Lu An muffled, "I should, I should care more about the king."

How can a person's physical condition not be seen if he observes carefully?It doesn't matter if it is an ordinary courtier, but he is quite close to other people and has many opportunities to get close to him, but he has never noticed the softness in his speech, the occasional flushed face, and the uncontrollable coughing, He also had a slightly paler complexion than others.

The other person said that it was a hot season, why did he believe it?

Then what kind of mood did he hug when he went to intercede for himself?Was he already in poor health at that time?However, he dragged his sick body and ran to his father to work hard on his trivial matters.

Wei Liao soon felt a rush of heat on his back, he frowned, but said nothing, letting Lu An vent his emotions.

In the evening, Wei Liao stopped at the post station, there were only two of them, walking at night was somewhat dangerous, and Lu An was in a bad mood, so he was a little worried.

Wei Liao got off the horse, and then fished out Lu An, who had numb legs. As soon as Lu An landed, he couldn't help grinning. After riding a fast horse for a day, his footsteps were so weak that he almost forgot how to walk. After jumping on the spot a few times It's better.

The post station here is "Zhi", and the post post system of Qin State is extremely developed. This is mainly because the implementation of Qin State's messages and orders is all implemented in words, which requires developed information transmission capabilities.

Posts are set up in five miles, kiosks are set up in ten miles, and pavilions are set up in thirty miles. The place Wei Liao chooses to rest is the "Zhi" every thirty miles. Because Qin officials need to prepare their own rations and cannot bring their subordinates The servants went to the post together, which added challenges to the safety and travel guarantee of officials.

The postal post system is an important part of this guarantee. According to regulations, officials must "check in" through various post stations along the way. This is to allow the central government to know where the official has newly arrived. Which stage went wrong.Moreover, officials have free board and lodging in the post post system, and they can also bring rations. As long as they "check in" along the way, even small officials with poor family fortunes can guarantee their food and clothing along the way.

Knowing that it was the two two thousand stones who returned to Beijing, Zhi Yufu personally registered the horses for the two of them, and left a seal to testify.

The manager of the inn didn't change his face when he heard that Wei Liao only wanted one room. He glanced at Lu An's current state and said very clearly: "May I ask if you two need warm soup? Soak two sticks of incense in the medicinal soup, and this Shangfeng's legs will feel better."

This is the value-added service of the station, and it can be regarded as the characteristic of the station.

Officials are free to enter and exit all post stations, so for officials, where to rest is a choice.

For post stations, the more people there are, the better the performance will be. The better the performance, the higher the reserve funds and wages, and the higher the chances of being promoted. Therefore, each post station in Qin State has a set of special skills , For example, some are good at cooking, some horse grass is of excellent quality, and some can receive warm soup to build a pool, and medicinal soup is the specialty of this family.

It is said that the ancestor of Zhisan here was a shaman of the state of Chu, and he was especially good at mixing medicinal materials. Zhisan also learned from him. When he needed to create a unique feature for the inn, he came up with this method.

This inn is very famous among the sergeants. Before going to bed, take a soak to relax the tendons and activate the collaterals, and then put on a plaster, and you will wake up full of energy the next day. This is also the reason why Wei Liao chose to rest here.

After stripping Lu An, who was struggling to support but couldn't lift his legs, and stuffed it into the barrel, Wei Liao also stepped in. He sat firmly on the small stool in the barrel, and kept going The calling lover pressed down a little bit and sat on his lap.

Lu An wrinkled his face, feeling that his lower body was no longer his own. His thighs were sore and his calves were about to cramp. He tried to adjust his position with his hands on the tub, and after three or two strokes, his waist was bruised. Shackled with both hands, "Good boy, don't move."

His senior brother's words were extremely gentle, but the meaning of the warning was very obvious. Lu An's hairs were about to explode, so he quickly sat down obediently.

The room was extremely quiet for a while, Wei Liao covered the provided fir boards for heat preservation, and the two nested in the water for a while, it was extremely quiet. After sitting for a while, Lu An still felt that the human cushion was not comfortable, so he leaned his head back Damn, he was hugged upright by his senior brother.

This position is really dangerous, but now that Lu An has the gold medal for avoiding death, he doesn't panic at all.

Seeing that the young man in his arms was getting a little emotional, Wei Liao snorted lightly, condescendingly pampering him, and even massaged his thigh with medicinal soup.

After the water was slightly cold, Lu An stood up again and felt that he had been resurrected.

"Not so fast." Wei Liao said while getting dressed, "Put some ointment on your legs before going to bed, and I'll massage it for you, otherwise you won't be able to get on the horse tomorrow."

Seeing Lu An's expression of resistance, he gave another choice, "Or you can sit sideways in front of me tomorrow."

Lu An: "..."

Sitting sideways is impossible, even in this life, this posture is too feminine, and Lu An can't afford to lose face like this.

The price for not wanting to be ashamed is that he has to endure the smelly sticky ointment being tied to his leg overnight.For this reason, Lu An, who was awakened several times by this discomfort in the middle of the night, even kicked the bed a few times to vent his anger while he was half asleep.

But the facts proved that this medicinal soup became the top one in the sergeant's inn resting check-in with his first-hand medicinal soup. The power of the medicinal soup was well-deserved. After washing off the plaster on his legs the next day, Lu An felt that his legs had grown back.

When he went to pick up the dry food and left, Wei Liao specially packed [-] packages of medicinal materials and ointments. Under Lu An's shocked gaze, he hung the ointments and medicinal materials on Lu An's horse, and then explained, "Help a friend." Brought it. This... one person can only buy ten copies."

Brother, you actually did a purchasing agent! !

Lu An wrote this line of words on his face, Wei Liao only explained "I owe a favor" and said no more. He put the man on the horse's back, sat on it himself, and was dissatisfied with why he sat on it. Pressed down by Lu An at the front, he said, "I miss you so much, you can chat with him."

This excuse is ridiculous, but Lu An thought about it, and he really believed it. He patted Duoduo's horse's head, and even lay down and rubbed against Duoduo's neck. Duoduo immediately turned around a few times happily .

After Duoduo started to run, Lu An realized how stupid he was. How could he chat with Duoduo under the speed of Duoduo's horse? !As soon as he opened his mouth, a gust of wind was eaten in, and his face was almost deformed! !

Wei Liao turned a blind eye to his younger brother's angry eyes, he held the rein with one hand and pressed his younger brother's stomach with the other, letting him lean on him: "Be obedient."

Lu An: ...
