Chapter 852: Second Generation Du Junguang, Tiger
No matter how reluctant he was, Jiang Youzhen set out on the road to the border. Although the emperor was very anxious, it would not take several days to get there, so Jiang Youzhen planned to go there by carriage in advance.
"It's New Year's Day and there's heavy snow blocking the mountain ahead. We can't get through at all." A somewhat irritable voice sounded, with a tone full of resentment.
"If it's really not possible, then we can only ride a horse instead of a carriage." The young man's voice was clear and pleasant, and his gentle tone was mixed with soothing words.
"The ground is so slippery, it's easy to fall even if you ride a horse! Why do you have to be in such a hurry to travel? Can't you wait a few days for the snow to melt before continuing your journey?" The owner of the voice was still furious.
"Lord Du, please be patient. It's still winter now. How long will it take for the snow to melt? We can't wait that long, so we have to take the risk and hurry on our way. Go slower along the way, and we just need to climb over this mountain." Qin Yandong also comforted him.
"Yes! Lord Du, we can't delay in going to the border, let's hurry up!"
Fang Zhongyi also tried to comfort him. This man was his superior, so he naturally didn't dare to offend him.
"Humph! I don't know what the emperor uncle was thinking. He actually asked me to follow you to the border. He also asked me to listen to Jiang Youzhen's orders. This is simply going against the will of Heaven."
Du Junguang was very dissatisfied. What was he going to do in such a bitter and cold place like the border? He didn't know how to investigate cases. He was just working for the Beijing Guard Command. Now, he had to suffer at the border again.
I heard that it was Jiang Youzhen who suggested going to the border, saying that he had stayed at the border for a few years when he was a child. But didn't his father think that he had been used to a good life in the capital and wanted him to go to the border to suffer?
He had had enough of those years at the border. It was too hard and there was nothing fun to do there. Plus, his elder brother was eight years older than him and was very strict with him, almost like a son. How could he handle this?
After finally growing up, he returned to the capital. He had already gotten used to living there and didn't want to go to the border at all.
Jiang Youzhen was a little speechless. He had asked Ah San to find out about Du Junguang's personality before. He knew that Du Junguang was a bit of a playboy. So, although he was the deputy commander of the Commanding General's Office, he was just a second-generation rich man who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.
If he didn't have a good mother, the princess, he would have had a hard time getting promoted to a captain, let alone a deputy commander, with his lazy personality.
"I'm hungry." Du Junguang started to act like a spoiled child.
Qin Yandong took a deep breath. Although he didn't understand why Jiang Youzhen wanted to bring Du Junguang along, he must have his reasons. It's just that this kid was too spoiled.
After three days of traveling, the boy kept asking to go into the city to rest or to eat delicacies. He couldn't stand the hardship and kept shouting all the way.
Jiang Youzhen sighed. He had thought he was just a little bit of a playboy, but he didn't expect him to be so difficult to deal with. Not only did he have to coax him along the way, but he also had to satisfy his needs from time to time.
"Let's rest here! It's almost noon, let's get off the carriage and cook some food."
This time she only brought three guards with her, in addition to Qing Lang and Qing Yan, there was also Jiang Li.
Jiang Li is very steady, has good martial arts skills, and is more efficient than the other guards.
After the few people got off the carriage, Qing Lang started to use the small clay stove to prepare some vegetable porridge. The adults invented a kind of dried vegetables, which could be soaked when eating, or cooked directly in porridge.
When you are out and about and there is no village or store nearby, you can supplement your diet with dried vegetables to avoid having to eat dry food every time.
"What is this? Can you eat it?" Du Junguang looked at it with disdain and then sneered.
"There are no villages nearby, and it's hard to hunt game in this heavy snow. Lord Du, just make do with it! We'll have a good rest when we get to the next county."
Jiang Youzhen walked over and handed over a bag of dried meat, asking him to add it to the porridge.
Qin Yandong rolled his eyes, not understanding why Jiang Youzhen wanted to bring this burden with him. He couldn't help but mutter, "Did you think we were here to travel?"
"They keep saying the next one, but I've been waiting for a whole day." Du Junguang said with dissatisfaction, but his tone was not so aggressive anymore.
Jiang Youzhen smiled at him, and Du Junguang's expression immediately eased. The handsome face of the young man was wrapped in a fox fur cloak, which reminded him of a fox with snow-white fur that he had seen before.
A white hand handed over a water bag, and the fair skin was as white as jade.
"Master Du, are you thirsty? Have a drink of water!"
Jiang Youzhen: Are you tired of talking? I'm tired of listening to you complaining all the way.
Du Junguang is nineteen years old this year and is already engaged. His fiancée is the legitimate daughter of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery.
His handsome face still had a childish look to it, and for some reason his tone softened.
He took the water bag and took a sip, then smelled a fragrance and found that it was coming from the small clay stove on the ground.
His stomach suddenly growled very loudly, attracting everyone's attention and making him look a little embarrassed.
"You can eat now. I have some steamed buns and beef here. Have some. You'll have to make do with what you have when you're out. Please bear with me."
Everyone gathered around immediately. Du Junguang was a little hesitant and walked over hesitantly.
"Master Du, eat it while it's hot!" Jiang Youzhen urged.
Du Junguang then sat down, picked up the bowl of vegetable porridge in front of him and started drinking.
Huh? The taste was surprisingly good, he really didn't expect it. He thought it was something to feed pigs, but it turned out to be bright in color and delicious in taste.
"Jiang Sicheng, I heard that you are a talented writer. It is better to meet you in person than to hear about you for a long time. Today is a day of ice and snow, and you are in a good mood. Why don't you write a poem and let me appreciate it."
Du Junguang suddenly became interested. Everyone was praising Jiang Youzhen, so let him see whether he was just a boast or not.
Everyone:...
It's so cold and we are still on the road. Only a person like him would have the leisure and elegance to do so.
Du Junguang looked at Jiang Youzhen with interest, but the next moment he saw an arrow shot out from Jiang Youzhen's sleeve, knocking over the bowl in his hand.
The hot porridge spilled on his hand. He immediately shook his hand and shouted in dissatisfaction: "What do you mean? Didn't I just ask you to write a poem? Even if you can't write one, there's no need to..."
However, before he could finish his words, Jiang Youzhen had already raised his sword and slashed at him. He was startled and quickly drew his sword to block it, but was pushed away by Jiang Youzhen. He staggered and was about to fall to the ground. Suddenly, he heard a tiger roar.
A foul smell came over him, almost making him vomit. When he turned around, he saw an open mouth with saliva still flowing out of it.
He shuddered, raised his sword and chopped back, and was so scared that he chopped several times.
"They're all dead, and you're still chopping them?" Qin Yandong's joking voice came.
"Sir Du, please forgive me for offending you just now!" Jiang Youzhen apologized.
The sword in her hand was still stained with blood, but she was standing not far from the tiger, and her snow-white fox fur cloak was not stained with a single trace of blood.
