My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 205: Return to Chang'an

The trip to Chang'an was imminent, and Li Yin called Shangguanyi and others for a small meeting, explained some things, and gave some benefits to his subordinates. In addition to giving some money, there were also special products from the Chamber of Commerce in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It's a lot of points, which can be regarded as their year-end bonus. After all, if you hang out with him, who doesn't want to have a good future and money, and Li Yin can't be stingy with this.

As for other local officials, the benefits are paid out of the government treasury. This year, Yizhou has a lot of agricultural and commercial income, plus taxes on the salt industry and land sales, and there are nearly one million yuan in income in one year. When Gao Quan was in office, he received a lot of money for a few years. The money was abundant, basically enough to maintain the normal operation of the fief. Now Shangguanyi smiles when she sleeps. The government has finally changed from poor and white to rich. up.

After the meeting, Li Yin put aside all his affairs and concentrated on preparing for his return. Apart from the people from the palace, there were Qin Huaiyu and Zheng sisters who returned to Chang'an. Under Cui Yingying's persuasion, the two sisters still decided to go back. Take a look, and Qin Huaiyu is also worried about his father's body and wants to go back and take a look.

The two days passed quickly. Under Cui Yingying's personal selection, all kinds of gifts were ready, and Li Yin also prepared some special things to take back. In the end, adding up all the things, there were dozens of cars in total. , Let Li Yin feel a little distressed.

This morning, everyone set off for Chang'an. Cui Yingying and Zheng's sisters took a carriage together, and Li Yin and Qin Huaiyu took another carriage. Now it's not like spring, it's too cold to ride outside, and he and Qin Huaiyu don't want to stay Outside.

??Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, Li Yin gave an order, and the convoy headed for Chang'an in a mighty manner. On both sides of the convoy were a thousand elites selected from the Central Army. They were responsible for the safety of Li Yin's trip.

??The convoy headed north along the main road built. It seemed to be a coordinating convoy. The heavy snow that had fallen for several days had stopped last night. But the weather is still overcast at this time, as if the next game will continue at any time.

?? "How are you and Miss Zheng's family doing now?"

In the carriage, Li Yin and Qin Huaiyu were grilling the brazier. The carriage Cui Yingying was riding in was specially built by Taoyuan for the palace. Not only was there a shock absorbing system like springs, but the wheels were also rubber wheels, and the outside of the carriage was specially wrapped with a The thick layer of sheepskin resists wind.

??Qin Huaiyu smiled foolishly when he heard the words, showing the image of a silly man in love. "She would smile at me."

?? "Look at your prospects, even if you have been with the pig for such a long time in a month, you will laugh at it, and there will be no real progress." The left and right are also boring, and Li Yin is ready to gossip to the end.

??Qin Huaiyu still smirked, "Don't worry, she ignored me at all before. Now she can talk to me."

?? "That's okay, at least I have no defense against you, keep working hard!" Li Yin teased him, and lay down on the carriage. I have to say that this carriage not only keeps warm, but also has a large interior space. It is considered a giant in a carriage, and it is more than enough for two people to lie in it and sleep.

??In the carriage at the back, Cui Yingying and the Zheng sisters were also chatting passionately. Zheng Binglu has fully recovered now, and Zheng Binglan still has a trace of nervousness on her face. She still has lumps in her heart about returning to Chang'an.

"Binglan, Qin Huaiyu is very kind to you. He is the son of Lord Yi. He is in the right family with your family. The only shortcoming is that he has studied less since he was a child, but now he is studying in the Military Academy. If you want to , How about I ask His Highness to be the matchmaker for you?" After a few words, Cui Yingying remembered Li Yin's explanation, and tested Zheng Binglan's meaning.

??Actually, at this time in the Tang Dynasty, there were not so many stories about romantic love. It is already a great thing for two people to get to know each other and have a good impression of each other. Most of them are ordered by their parents and the words of the matchmaker, even if they marry a **** and go home, they have to bear it.

??Although there were only three people present, Zheng Binglan blushed. "Yingying, why did you bring this up again?"

Zheng Binglu rolled her eyes and said: "Sister, what Yingying said is good, and General Qin seems to like her very much, and he is not bad looking. There are many people in Yizhou who propose marriage to him, and it is said that he rejected them all." , if you procrastinate like this, there is no telling which girl he has his eyes on, and then it will not be my sister's turn."

??Zheng Binglan looked sad, "What qualifications do I have for being favored by General Qin? If he, a famous man, marries me, he will be laughed at in the future."

Zheng Binglu wanted to persuade her again, but Cui Yingying stopped her. She heard the meaning from Zheng Binglan's words. She was not unwilling, but just worried that Qin Huaiyu would be dragged down. This knot can only be solved by Qin Huaiyu, no matter what others say It didn't work either.

The days on the road were boring and painful. On the carriage, Li Min could only play chess with Qin Huaiyu for fun, but after a few days, he found it boring. On this day, he took out two playing cards and said to Qin Huaiyu: "Play this chess game. !"

??Qin Huaiyu had never seen such a thing before, felt strange, and asked, "What is this?"

?? "Playing cards with two people is meaningless. I'll call two more people over." Li Yin said and stopped the carriage.

?? After a few days' journey, the convoy had already reached the boundary of Mianzhou. The convoy stopped. Cui Yingying in the car behind opened the curtain and looked out. Seeing Li Yin getting off the carriage, she asked, "Your Highness, what happened?"

?? "It's nothing, let you play this in the carriage in front." Li Yin shook his poker.

??Although there are many topics between women, they have talked about the same after a few days. Cui Yingying was feeling bored and said excitedly: "Okay, wait a minute!"

?? After finishing speaking, the curtains of the carriage were opened after a while, and Cui Yingying pulled the two sisters out of the carriage.

??The three got into the car, and Li Yin said to Rongda, "Go ahead." While speaking, he looked around. The snow here is much less than that in Yizhou, and the exposed soil can be seen on the road.

The motorcade moved forward again, and Li Yin also got into the carriage. At this time, five people were sitting in a circle in the room. Qin Huaiyu and Zheng Binglan were sitting together. The two maids deliberately squeezed her beside Qin Huaiyu. non-stop.

?? "Your Highness, what is poker?" Cui Yingying looked at the things in Li Yin's hand and said.

?? These two playing cards were placed on the carriage by Li Yin on a temporary basis. He didn't intend to play them, after all, he didn't know how to play them, but he didn't expect the road to be so boring, so he had to take them out.

Li Yin disassembled the poker and put fifty-four cards on a small table. The first step was to teach them how to recognize the cards, "Poker is a kind of playing card. It's Xiao Wang..."

In the carriage, Li Yin became a teacher on the spot. In fact, there are only four suits and a dozen symbols in poker, which is not too difficult for them. Professor Li Yin’s method is to teach while playing. This is the first What I play is to smash eggs, and I will become proficient in poker after playing a few hands.

?? "No more than one card can be played at a time!"

?? "Now it's playing two, and two is bigger than a!"

?? "Qin Huaiyu, you idiot, why are you blowing me up? We are together!"

?? "..."

??In the entire carriage, only Li Yin was the loudest. Zheng Binglu didn't participate, but just watched from the sidelines. Qin Huaiyu and Li Yin belonged to one family, and Cui Yingying and Zheng Binglan belonged to the same family.

After more than ten rounds of playing, the three of them began to have a basic understanding of the rules of the game under the sound of Li Yin's nagging. Li Yin was a little tired, and it was too boring to play with novices, but Cui Yingying and the three were addicted, and they had just entered the state at this time, so excited that they didn't want to stop at all, so Li Yin had to accompany them to continue.

But I have to say that playing poker is indeed a good way to waste time. An hour, an afternoon, a day, or more than ten days of journey slipped away in this kind of entertainment. It's better than Lan. To be honest, Li Yin's smashing skills are not very good, so the nagging person becomes Li Yin.

?? "Your Highness, why don't you blow up the bomb while you keep it, the first to release the bomb wins."

?? "Your Highness, why don't you get it right, I'm left with a pair, and if I get it right, I run away, and now it's a double bet."

?? "Your Highness, your cards really stink!"

?? "..."

??This time it is the turn of Li Yin and Cui Yingying's family. Cui Yingying is nagging non-stop. Now they have only reached the fifth level. Qin Huaiyu and Zheng Binglan have both reached a. They only need to win one more round to pass the level.

??Li Yin was extremely depressed. He looked at Qin Huaiyu and Zheng Binglan, who were flying in the autumn waves, and said that they were proud in love and frustrated in the game of cards. Why didn't these words come true for Qin Huaiyu.

"Your Highness, if we win another game, this sapphire will be ours." Qin Huaiyu looked at the pebble-sized sapphire on the table. When Rongda said that he would arrive in Chang'an in one or two hours, Li Yin took it when he was excited. A piece of sapphire was produced and placed on the table as a chip.

?? "Don't be complacent, if you can't beat us both, you have to fight again, hehe!" Li Yin said to Qin Huaiyu.

??The four of them were just about to unveil the plaque, when Rong Da's voice came from outside, "Your Highness, Chang'an is here!"

Li Yin threw down the cards, and the whole person relaxed, and finally arrived in Chang'an. This sentence seemed to have magical powers, and Cui Yingying and the others let go of the cards, but Qin Huaiyu smirked and picked up the sapphire. I'm afraid that Li Yin will renege on his debt.

??Compared to Li Yin and Qin Huaiyu, the three girls have more affection for Chang'an than the two. After all, they only stayed in Chang'an for half a year, but the three women are different.

The guards at Mingde Gate in Chang'an looked at the slowly advancing convoy in shock, and saw cavalry in silver armor walking in front, and each of them was carrying a large flag bordered with red. The two big characters of Wang are vigorous and powerful. Under the blowing of the north wind, the big flag flutters in the wind and makes a sound of hunting. Behind the cavalry is a continuous convoy. The two carriages headed by them are richly decorated, four or five of the usual carriages. On the leading carriage, a person wearing a purple gold silk embroidered long-sleeved T-shirt was opening the curtains and looking out.

?? "King of Shu!" A soldier blurted out.
