Chapter 374 Letter from Home

Take the carriage prepared by the county magistrate and others and stationed at Kunyu Pavilion, an inn in the city.

After settling Princess Zhaoyang, Jia Lian called the guard and the county magistrate to question her alone.

The two guards originally thought that Jia Lian was going to question the two of them. After entering the house with trepidation, they found that Jia Lian seemed not to remember what happened at the city gate at all. Ask them about the situation in the imperial court and Gan-Ning Pass.

As a city guard and county magistrate, they naturally know more information than private merchants.

They were not as surprised as others as to why Jia Lian appeared here. Because half a month ago, the garrison received an order from above, ordering him to dispatch a team of troops into the desert to assist in the search and rescue of the princess and Jia Lian, but he has not returned yet.

But I didn’t expect that Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang would arrive at his territory quietly.

This was one of the reasons why he had not had too much doubt about Jia Lian's identity before.

At this time, Jia Lian is most concerned about the safety of his maid Aqin. However, Ah Qin, a small female guard, was insignificant in the eyes of others, so Jia Lian naturally could not find out about her situation.

Having no choice but to learn about the general situation of the imperial court and Ganning Pass from the two guards, he waved them down and ordered them to evacuate irrelevant people from the inn. Don't bother me with anything.

The two guards responded in succession, but did not leave immediately. Instead, while Jia Lian was drinking tea, the county magistrate stepped forward, took out a box from his arms, and presented it to the police with a smile. In front of Jia Lian.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy, has worked hard all the way and is here for the first time in a lowly place. This is a small thought from the officials and others. I hope you will accept it..."

Jia Lian frowned Frowning, he raised his eyes and glanced at the two people in front of him.

When the county magistrate saw this, his face became even more uneasy, and he felt that his palms were sweating.

"You two adults are interested, let it go."

How could Jia Lian not know the intentions of these two people? If they don't accept it, they will not be able to feel at ease.

The two county magistrates looked happy and were about to use this opportunity to add a few words. They looked up and saw that Jia Lian looked indifferent and picked up the tea cup in his hands again. In desperation, he could only retreat in a polite manner.

After the two men left, Jia Lian opened the box and saw that the small box indeed contained banknotes.

He flipped through it and found that these banknotes were all from several well-known banks in the Central Plains, obviously for his convenience when he returned.

They are all in denominations of medium or small, and the total adds up to a full two thousand taels!

“It is obvious that he is a corrupt official.”

Jia Lian shook his head and sighed.

He walked along the way and saw with his own eyes the barrenness and coldness of the frontier fortress. But who would have thought that the officials in these border cities would be rich in their pockets by virtue of mutual trade. Oily!

Asking Aqi to accept the banknote, Jia Lian ordered the people at the inn to prepare the Four Treasures of the Study.

Nearly two months have passed since the Zhanghetan Incident. Moreover, his deeds in danger have been compiled into books and widely circulated, so the people in his family must have also Already knew it.

Not to mention being in exile before, now that I have returned to my own territory, I naturally want to report that my family is safe, so that those women will not worry and cry for nothing.

First of all, I have to send a letter to that lady Wang Xifeng, and secondly, there are a lot of uncles and elders in the Linzi Mansion who care about me, and they also have to send a letter.

I don’t know if the little girl Daiyu cried when she learned that something happened to her...

I would like to send a letter to that crybaby. Think about it. If the etiquette is inconsistent, it will only arouse suspicion, that's all.

Anyway, when Wang Xifeng received the letter, it meant that everyone in the family knew about it.

Just as I was thinking about what else I should do, I suddenly felt a cold feeling on the tip of my nose. I raised my head and saw that the person standing beside me grinding for me had changed from Aqi to Princess Zhaoyang.

At this time, Princess Zhaoyang took off her robe and put on bright clothes again. She was holding a small writing brush, looking at him and snickering.

"Why, are you still thinking about the little sister of the Xue family?"

Jia Lian ignored it and touched the tip of his nose. Sure enough, it was an ink stain, and he became even more upset.

"You are such a big person, but you are still so naughty."

Jia Lian reached out to catch her. When Princess Zhaoyang saw this, she smiled like a bell. With a loud voice, he ducked away from Jia Lian's clutches.

Jia Lian looked at Princess Zhaoyang.

Princess Zhaoyang, who was wearing Hufu before, had a somewhat pure meaning, but those coarse clothes concealed too much of her as a princess, as a goddess sought after by countless young talents in the capital. light.

Now she has transformed into the princess of Shangbang, talking and laughing in front of him, which makes people feel extremely comfortable.

Princess Zhaoyang originally brought snacks to Jia Lian, but seeing how serious Jia Lian was, she couldn't help but pick up a pen to tease him.

At this time, Jia Lian was staring at her., she thought there was something abnormal about herself.

"These are the clothes that the county magistrate here asked the maid to send. They are quite good, but they feel a little too loose and not very comfortable to wear."

Complained. , Princess Zhaoyang continued: "When I just entered the city, I saw that the city was very lively. I thought that since this place is a border market, there must be many businessmen from other countries coming here to buy and sell. Maybe there are some interesting things. I want to go shopping. Go shopping with me."

While talking, Princess Zhaoyang came back with a hopeful look on her face, obviously she really wanted to go shopping.

When Jia Lian saw this, he sighed again.

Thinking back on the past month or so, from evading pursuit to wandering in disguise, how difficult the conditions were along the way. However, as a member of the Tianhuang noble family, Princess Zhaoyang, who had been well-dressed and well-fed since she was a child, had no complaints or complaints from the beginning to the end, nor did she hold him and Aqi back.

Even, regardless of status and consequences, like a moth rushing to a flame, she gave herself the complete self.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian felt heavy in his heart.

He nodded, and with her happy look on his face, he took her hand and sat in his arms, discussing: "Let's stay here for one night and set off tomorrow to return to Ganning Pass. "

"Are you going back now..." The look on Princess Zhaoyang's face became much lighter.

She had known for a long time that once she came out of the desert, she and Jia Lian would be close to each other, and the days they would have each other would become shorter and shorter.

For this reason, when she was in the desert, she actually intentionally stayed a little longer. For example, when encountering a place with beautiful scenery, he always takes Jia Lian to enjoy the beauty of the mountains, rivers, sun and moon.

She knew that Jia Lian could see through her little thoughts and wanted to manipulate her.

"Okay, then while it's still dark, Erlang will accompany me to the market later."

" She didn't say much else because she knew, Jia Lian wants to go back early.

"Yeah."

Faced with such a considerate beauty, Jia Lian put his arms around her waist, lowered his head and pressed her lips against hers.

Princess Zhaoyang also climbed up Jia Lian's back with her hands, and responded to Jia Lian enthusiastically.

In response to this, Aqi in the room had long been accustomed to it and silently exited the door.

After a while, she opened the door again and came in. Looking at the half-dressed Princess Zhaoyang, who was straddling Jia Lian's arms, revealing her fragrant shoulders. Even though Aqi had been tortured for more than half a month and had developed some perseverance, she couldn't help but blush slightly at this time. , the heartbeat speeds up slightly.

She felt that these two people were a little too enthusiastic.

Without looking at it, Aqi stood still and explained in a deep voice: "Second Master, Mr. Xue family wants to see you."

Princess Zhaoyang looked displeased. His hands were still holding Jia Lian's neck, unwilling to let go.

Jia Lian patted her buttocks and said with a smile: "After all, she is an elder, and she is still ill. There must be something to come here, so don't neglect her."
< br />After saying that, seeing her still pouting, Jia Lian felt that Princess Zhaoyang was a bit cute for no reason, so he leaned forward and pecked her lips.

Princess Zhaoyang seemed to be a little satisfied now. She gathered up the clothes that had fallen off her shoulders with one hand, took out the embroidered handkerchief and wiped the ink on the tip of Jia Lian's nose, and then turned over and got down to the ground.

"Then I'll take a shower first. Erlang will remember to come find me later."

"Okay."

Looking at Princess Zhaoyang with no emotion Jia Lian left the room with scruples. He shook his head and said to Aqi: "Go and look after the princesses and don't let irrelevant people get close to her."

　"Yes."
