C100 A Thousand Miles to Send Goose Feathers!
They walked for seven or eight days before they arrived at the Yang County. They stopped the carriage and bought some things. Gu Jun’an purposely went to the silk shop to buy some clothes for Lan Qingqian.
“Why do these clothes look like the Crown Prince’s?” Lan Qingqian was taken into the silk shop by the little girl to change her clothes. She was not used to the clothes she was wearing.
Gu Jun’an bowed and said, “In the future, when you go out, you will wear the clothes of a boy. If someone asks you, you will say that you are called Gu and called Little Nine. We are in the tea business.” Although the surname Gu was the surname of the emperor in the West Province, there were many surnames in the world. Therefore, it was common.
The little girl was stunned when she heard that. Gu Jun’an patted her little head and said, “Do you hear that?”
“Oh, okay!” She nodded and remembered it.
After that, they had been on the road for more than ten days, but they had not arrived yet. Sanba had arrived early, and the soldiers had arrived.
There were two generals who had been stationed at the border for years. Li Duyuan and Su Changsheng had brought people to pick them up at the intersection. However, when they saw that Sanba was alone, Li Duyuan could not help but smile. “What is the meaning of this, Your Royal Highness? Is it fun to play with us?”
Sanba dismounted and snorted. “Your Royal Highness did not order General Li to come out and greet you. Who can you blame if you stick your hot face to someone else’s cold butt?”
He ordered the people to send the food and materials, as well as the weapons.
“Remember, this is all recorded in the book. Don’t miss anything. The seal on the box is not for you to touch!”
Li Duyuan’s face turned ugly. He looked at Su Changsheng. “You really think you’re the best after winning a few battles.”
Su Changsheng did not respond to him. Instead, he followed Sanba. “Sanba, didn’t the Seventh Prince come with you? We received the imperial edict early.”
“The prince has something to do. He’ll come back after settling the matter. So, we have to delay for a few days. I’m here for the food and weapons. I rushed here as soon as I could. Deputy General Su, is there something you need?”
The people who had been at the border for many years had heard of Li Duyuan and Su Changsheng. Su Changsheng was not like Li Duyuan, who was arrogant and proud. He was only good at talking. He was a hot-blooded general when he fought, but his family background was not as good as Li Duyuan’s. He had been suppressed for many years and could not raise his head.
However, most of the people in the army respected him. So Sanba was more polite and admiring of him. He spoke reasonably!
Su Changsheng smiled. “It’s nothing. It’s just that the spies I sent out recently are arranging the military intelligence. They’re waiting to discuss with the prince.” He and Li Duyuan were completely different. They could not get along, so they did not like to talk.
Sanba nodded. “Then, Deputy General Li, please wait a few more days. We’re not in a hurry anyway.”
“Have you lost any food on the way?”
In the past years, there would always be some mysterious people or bandits on the way to transport the grain. The grain would always be exhausted.
“There are no losses in the three batches. The Prince has sent all the goods in batches. I have led the vanguard and used the name of transporting the goods to go first. I have encountered many blind people who don’t care about their lives. They have all been dealt with. The last batch will probably arrive in a few days.”
Su Changsheng could not help but give a thumbs up. “Prince is very considerate.”
Li Du heard the two muttering from afar. He coughed a few times, but no one paid attention to him. He could only lead the group back.
In April, the wind at the border was dry and hot.
Gu Jun’an took advantage of the night to sneak into the temporary residence with the little girl who had fallen asleep.
Sanba heard the commotion and immediately came out. He saw a few people and smiled. “Greetings, Prince!”
Then he ran out to help Sanli to get the things. “Has everything been smooth?”
“It’s very smooth. We have brought a precious thing along the way. No one knows what it is, so no one is staring at it. It is not easy for you to lead the vanguard.” It was not the first time they had done this, so Sanli naturally knew what they had encountered on the way.
The two of them were very taciturn. Sanli naturally knew what the precious thing they were referring to was.
It was naturally the little ancestor who could eat and act spoiled. It was not the most expensive one. More than half of the Prince’s expenses were spent on her!
"It's not bad. I think it's much better than serving this little princess. At worst, I will just have to be cut a few times to loosen my muscles and bones. However, Prince Wang didn't come. Li Du has been showing off in front of me for so many days."
"When we go to the battlefield, we can play with this grandson," San Qi said.
As they talked, Gu Jun'an frowned and looked at them. The two people who were holding the things were shocked and didn't dare to take a step forward.
They thought they had made a big mistake…
"Don't swear in front of her in the future. If I hear it once, I will punish you for a month's worth of silver."
San Qi said, "But isn't Prince Jiu asleep?"
"Even if he's asleep, you can't say that!" Gu Jun'an carried her into the room.
San Qi carried the big box in his hand and said, "Fine, I really raised an ancestor." He didn't care so much in front of his ancestor.
San Qi just carried the things and went in, not daring to say anything.
He put Lan Qingqian down on the bed. As soon as he let go, Lan Qingqian opened her eyes in a daze.
"Why is the carriage not moving?"
Gu Jun'an let go. "We are already at the border."
Lan Qingqian immediately got up. "I have to go and see what is special at the border."
She saw Gu Jun'an's cold eyes and immediately understood. She stretched out her hands and walked back. "I am dreaming, dreaming!" She promised the old prince that she would be obedient and honest when she came to the border.
The next morning, when Lan Qingqian woke up, Gu Jun’an was already gone. She could only play with the grass in the yard.
She heard footsteps and immediately wanted to run out, thinking that it was Gu Jun’an.
However, she did not expect to see two unfamiliar faces. Her smile immediately drooped. “How boring! I thought it was the old son-in-law.”
Li Du Yuan was dressed in a military uniform. He walked in valiantly, followed by Su Changsheng.
He looked at the short wintermelon not far away. “Why does the Seventh Prince bring such a small follower? He looks like a baby.” His words were filled with ridicule and contempt.
Su Changsheng did not respond. Instead, he asked Lan Qingqian, “Young Master, has the Seventh Prince gone out?”
Lan Qingqian stared at him warily. She did not say yes or no.
“Hey, you silly baby, do you not know what I mean?” Li Du Yuan said in a vicious tone.
Lan Qingqian puffed her cheeks and imitated his tone. “You big pighead, how can you talk to me like that!”
Li Du Yuan had never been scolded like this before. He wanted to reach out to teach this baby a lesson.
“I will beat you up until you cry and scream.”
Su Changsheng blocked him. “General Li, why are you fussing over a child? Are you afraid of him?”
Being scolded by his subordinate, he could not suppress his anger anymore. He pushed Su Changsheng. “Get out of my way.”
“He was brought here by the Seventh Prince. General Li, you must be careful. General Li has seen the Seventh Prince’s methods.”
“Why should I be afraid of him?” Li Du was getting more and more arrogant.
He reached out his hand and pinched Lan Qingqing’s neck. He felt like pinching an ant to death…
