incense as a medium

Chapter 101
Liu Bailu glanced at Qi Peiyun, she had scruples in her heart, but Qi Peiyun didn't, she wrapped her long arms around the Ninth Prince's neck and pulled him to her side.

The Ninth Prince screamed and protested, but Qi Peiyun's arms were like iron tongs, pinching him immobile. He turned his head, looked at the armpits that were close at hand, stretched out his hand and scratched them, Qi Peiyun Unable to bear the itching, as soon as he vented his strength, the Ninth Prince broke free.

"Don't run!" Seeing the figure of the Ninth Prince jumping away, Qi Peiyun chased after him.

Liu Bailu gently grabbed the corner of Qi Peiyun's clothes, Qi Peiyun stopped chasing, turned to Liu Bailu and smiled, "My lady is so smart."

Liu Bailu glanced around and said, "It just made my husband lose face."

"How much face is worth?" Qi Peiyun turned his back, looked at Liu Bailu, walked backwards, and said nonchalantly: "My lady said this, everyone knows that I lost money in business, and no one will pay for it in the future." Dare to go to the west with me, the journey to the west is far away, not just one or two people can get there. It is inconvenient for Kang Yibang to send someone out, but the fifth prince intends to send someone to me, but there are not many people around him , but I can’t get someone out, so the fifth prince can’t do anything to me. I’m also happy and relaxed, watching my wife and children warming the bed at home.”

Liu Bailu blushed, spat at him, and said, "You speak out loud, who gave birth to you?"

"You, you can't say that you still have a baby now." Qi Peiyun stared eagerly at Liu Bailu's belly, and said, "Give me a daughter, call her Le Yan, I want her to be happy Happy, carefree."

Liu Bailu's face turned red, knowing that he was never serious, so he immediately changed the subject: "Master Du released so many prisoners, and His Majesty even promoted him to an official position. Could it be that no one in the court is embarrassing Mr. Du?"

Qi Peiyun sneered, turned around and took Liu Bailu's hand and said, "Why is no one tripping you? This is the tripping they used."

"Huh?" It was very unconventional for the crowd to be held by him like this, and the two walked side by side. Liu Bailu tried several times and couldn't get rid of his hand, but no one paid attention to them on the street, so he let him go. She didn't understand Pei Yun's words.

Qi Peiyun scraped Liu Bailu's tender palm with his tail finger, and said: "Kangding Road has five major passes, Yongkang Pass, Kangding Pass, Suiyuan Pass, Yuling Pass, and Qinling Pass. The scenery is incomparable, but there are many dangers. At Yongkang Pass, the garrison here and Kang Yibang are of one mind with Master Du. If there is an emergency, Master Du can also issue orders for the defense of Yongkang Pass. But what about Kangding Pass? Kangding Pass has always been It is the garrison general who has the final say, the magistrate of Kangding Pass will not only resolve the case of quarrels between neighbors in the neighborhood, but even if the petty theft is caught on the street, they will be handed over to the garrison general.”

"The garrison of Suiyuan Pass is [-]. The magistrate is a military general, and he is incompatible with the garrison. The size of the other passes is extremely complicated. Among the five passes, Yuling Pass has [-] defenders. Although the garrison The general has the final say, but that is where the Great Zhou and Tatar traded, and many dignitaries in the court have business there. Although the battle will not affect that side, but the battle like last month, Yu Yu Lingguan is to close the market and lock the city gates. This will delay the business of the merchants. They don’t care whether they fight or not. As long as they have money, they dare to do anything except collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country. Although Qinling Pass is the smallest, it is surrounded by mountains. Stretching thousands of miles away, it is the most difficult to defend. If Yongkang Pass is a small battle every three years and a big battle every five years, Qinling Pass will be a small battle every season and a big battle every year."

"Among the five passes, if there is a problem at any one of these five passes, the fault is not with the general or the defense, but the Daotai must be used to question the crime, because the Daotai is in charge of the grain roads, rivers, and construction roads in these five places. Once the fight started, they all relied on the roads and platforms to clear the roads and prepare for the delivery of food and grass. Where did the food and grass come from? When the war is tight, they can be recruited on the spot, but the grain must be repaid, or they can not be repaid. .I paid it back, where did the food come from?"

Facing Shangliu Bailu's puzzled eyes, Qi Peiyun sneered and said, "Doesn't the grain have to be allocated by Beijing? If Beijing doesn't give it, how can he pay it back? There is a governor on the Daotai, but this governor is the third prince's man." , Mr. Du came out from Yongkang Pass. The garrison at Yongkang Pass is the Yongding Army under Kang Yibang, and my father is his savior. Although I did things for the fifth prince at the border pass, I can hide it from others, but I can't hide it from the governor. Du Your Excellency has long been labeled as the faction of the Five Highnesses. After taking office, Mr. Du has not been excluded by the Governor? I am afraid that Mr. Du will be sent by the Governor to manage the river channel of Qinling Pass soon after taking office. Where is Qinling Pass? Where did it come from? Once you enter the deep mountains, you will not know whether you will live or die."

Qi Peiyun sighed heavily, and said: "Do you know how many people have changed in the Daotai of Kangding Dao in ten years?" Before Liu Bailu could answer, he stretched out his hand and turned it over, saying: "12 people, There is still more than one change every year. Among them, Qinlingguan died in the chaos of the army, or he refused to obey the governor's control and was killed by the governor's design. Death. Of course there is something about the inaction of the Jingzhong Household Department, but the relationship between the Jingzhong Household Department is intricate, as long as the relationship is gone and the responsibility is shirked, it will be nothing. Du Heng was also transferred to Jingzhong, looking at the scenery, he is just a hostage."

When Qi Peiyun's words fell to the ground, Liu Bailu was speechless in a daze, until she entered the restaurant and was pushed on the chair by Qi Peiyun, and Xiaoer served the food and wine, but she still didn't digest all Qi Peiyun's words.I didn't expect a Taoist platform to be so dangerous!
Mr. Du was plotted against the fifth prince just for a short while. Is it so urgent to seize the heir apparent in the capital right now?If Master Du is like this, what about Qi Peiyun?Didn't he just say that it's not a secret among those princes that he works for the fifth prince?

Liu Bailu suddenly grabbed Qi Peiyun and looked at him worriedly.

As if knowing her worry, Qi Peiyun patted her hand, glanced at the Ninth Prince who was looking at the scenery in front of the window, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, Governor Kang Dingdao belongs to the Third Prince. The prince will not tell others about me. What's more, I'm just earning some money for the fifth prince, and the third prince doesn't care about the money, and I'm just keeping me to fight against the fifth prince in the future."

Liu Bailu breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought of Du Shuang again. Although she had a grudge against Qi Pei'an's "sweetheart", Du Shuang had a very bad temper for her. She would try every means to avenge her father, so she couldn't help asking: "What about Master Du? Will something happen to Master Du?"

Qi Peiyun smiled mockingly, and said: "Don't worry, although the fifth prince can't place anyone in the household department, there are many people in the customs here. How can he let go of such a good opportunity to win over Mr. Du?" ? Unless Mr. Du goes deep into danger, there will be no danger to his life."

Can't allocate manpower to accompany Qi Peiyun in business, but can allocate manpower to protect Master Du?

Liu Bailu glanced at Qi Peiyun suspiciously, drooping his eyes and thinking inwardly.

Neither of the two whispering noticed that the ears of the Ninth Prince who was concentrating on admiring the scenery of Xiongtang County moved, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although the Ninth Prince is an aristocrat, he has no pretensions at all. Liu Bailu is dignified and elegant. Although she has followed the precepts and seldom speaks, she does say something occasionally. Soon the two chatted together, but threw Qi Peiyun aside.

Knowing that Liu Bailu was the No. 22 girl in the sixth session of Jingren in 1, and also met him several times in that competition, so he recognized him, the Ninth Prince was very excited, and chattered endlessly about the past few years. Selected as No.1 Yuan in Beijing.

Liu Bailu listened very carefully, and occasionally said a few words of her own opinion, and her sharp comments hit the nail on the head, making the Ninth Prince clap his hands and applaud: "If only you could be a judge in the selection, let's see how those hypocritical women pretend to be."

Liu Bailu covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "This is because there are not so many taboos at the border. If it is in Beijing, I would not dare to speak to His Highness like this."

The Ninth Prince frowned and said: "Those women are rigid, superficial, they don't speak half of the truth, and their smiles are fake. It's really boring. Are you like that before?"

Liu Bailu smiled subtly: "Aren't the No. 1 Yuan in the capital all carved out of the same mold?"

"Then why choose her?" The Ninth Prince murmured, "And let me choose a concubine from among them, I don't want those women who dare not speak."

Liu Bailu laughed when he heard the words: "Your Highness, it's time to discuss marriage. Even if you don't get married now, you have to see each other slowly. Your Highness is precious, and the position of a prince and concubine is extremely important. No matter what, you have to choose carefully. This is the process of picking and choosing." No matter what, it will take three to five years, when His Highness is seventeen or eighteen years old, it is time to get married."

The Ninth Prince opened his mouth wide and said in astonishment: "How long will it take? Isn't getting married just a matter of words?"

Liu Bailu smiled and said: "How come? When a man marries a wife, he pays attention to virtuousness and virtue. Character is the first priority, followed by birth, then family background, parents' character, sisters' relatives, and finally the head of the family. Although the director is placed at the end, but in the future, married women will be in charge of the inner house. If the inner house is not in chaos, the husband and son-in-law can have a smooth career. The character of the parents and relatives also affects the character of the woman. No matter how good the character of the woman is, there is no need The relatives of the spectrum will also be the cause of trouble in the future. When a woman seeks her husband’s family, what does it mean to seek her husband’s family? It depends on whether the mother-in-law is kind or not.”

Speaking of this, Liu Bailu paused, gave Qi Peiyun a bad look, and said with a smile: "When a woman marries and obeys her husband, she will be a member of her husband's family in the future, serving her mother-in-law and husband-in-law day and night. If this mother-in-law is kind, Life is naturally easy. If the mother-in-law is unruly, then she has jumped into the pit of fire. Look for the in-law’s family, look for the in-law’s family, look for the mother-in-law, and then look for the husband-in-law. It’s best for the husband-in-law to look good, but there is no shortage of inconsistencies. People, look at it, inquire about it, it won’t take a lot of time to come down again and again? There are people who love their daughters, and they start planning for their daughters’ future as soon as their daughters landed. They really want to take other people’s sons back. I want to raise a son-in-law."

After hearing this, the Ninth Prince looked at Qi Peiyun and said with a smile, "Is Master Liu the same?"

Liu Bailu's face turned red, he lowered his head and said nothing.

But Qi Peiyun said: "This is a good idea. If I have a daughter in the future, I will buy a few boys and come back to teach myself. Whoever makes my daughter happy, I will marry her!"
