Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Call the landlord!" came the excited voice of a man from the swaying carriage.

    "not called!"

    "not called!"

    Two crisp female voices sounded one after another, followed by the sound of playing cards and the laughter of men and women.

    Outside the car were 150,000 troops brought from Dengzhou. These people used to be from the slave-catching team, but now they all belong to Li Min's private army, but they are all equipped with Tang Dynasty's standard armor weapons.  This time they will accompany Li Min to receive a fruit that has already matured.

    Li Min in the carriage was very excited. Together with Wen'er and Hua'er next to him, the three of them were playing Landlords with great interest. After all, this journey was really boring and they could only kill time through this.  The carriage they were riding in was very huge. In addition to Li Min, Wen'er and Hua'er, Jin Shengman was also in the carriage. However, compared to the excitement of Li Min and the other three, Jin Shengman sat quietly on the carriage's back.  On the other side, I don¡¯t know what I¡¯m thinking about?

    After Li Min and Jin Shengman got married, he immediately gathered his team and went to Silla with her under the pretext of escorting Jin Shengman back to her car.  Originally, Zhao Fu and Lu Hong were opposed to Li Min going to Silla. After all, it was another country. As Li Min was, it was really not suitable to take risks. However, Li Min believed that this matter was of great importance. If he did not go,  , I was afraid that others would not be able to control the situation, so he insisted on coming. Fortunately, Wang An, as the king's Fu, supported him in doing so, and finally convinced everyone to go to Silla with heavy troops.

    However, Li Min and the others did not take the boat directly to Silla. Instead, they got off the boat at the nearest place to Pyongyang, and then took the land route to Pyongyang first.  Calculating the distance now, we estimate that we can get there at noon tomorrow at the latest.

    In the evening, Li Min and the others came to a small town not far from Pyongyang. When the officials in the city heard that His Highness King Qi had arrived, they were all startled and hurried out of the city to greet him and prepare accommodation. However, Li Min only allowed  The officials in the city only need to prepare their own places to live. All other officers and soldiers are stationed outside the city. No one is allowed to enter the city to cause trouble.

    In the end, Li Min and Jin Shengman were arranged to live temporarily in the house of a wealthy family in the city, and all the people in the house were replaced by people from the royal family.  Li Min took advantage of the fact that it was still early and asked the city officials to take him around the city. As a result, he found that this small town was still the old city of Goguryeo, but the residents inside had undergone tremendous changes. Except for a few, they were originally from Goguryeo.  Except for the Han people under the rule of Goguryeo, most of the other residents moved from Guanzhong. Although many residents had houses in the city, they lived most of the time on their own farms and pastures outside the city, and only came back occasionally.  .  For example, the owner of the house where he temporarily lived was like this, and it was precisely because of this.  Therefore, the residents in the city appear to be somewhat sparse.

    Of course, there are also lively places in the city, such as a trading market that occupies a quarter of the small town. Products from nearby farms and pastures are almost transported here for trading, so from time to time there are large carriages pulling goods in and out.  There are also a lot of merchants. Li Min went in specifically to take a look and found that the most sold items here were grain, cattle and sheep.

    ? Another thing worth mentioning is.  With the development of Li Min's wool textile industry, wool has evolved into a commodity, and the quantity is quite large. He even heard that many ranchers are preparing to increase the number of sheep raised.  Make a fortune on wool.

    Looking at such a prosperous border town in front of him, Li Min was also very happy.  And he also discovered that in addition to the local merchants of Tang Dynasty, there were also merchants from Silla and Baekje mixed in, but these merchants were like hungry wolves.  As long as it is something edible, they will chase after it and want to buy it, but they cannot afford a high price, so the transaction volume is not much.

    Looking at the Silla and Baekje merchants who were bargaining hard, Li Min sneered secretly, but did not show it on his face. Then he praised the officials who introduced him a few words, and then returned to his residence.  .

    "Your Highness, are you still eating preserved eggs tonight?" Hua'er asked with a naughty look as soon as she returned to her residence.  Along the way, Li Min was not only very indifferent to Jin Shengman, but also deliberately teased him. For example, when eating, he deliberately ate cut preserved eggs in front of Jin Shengman and told him that they were deer's eyeballs.  It was just marinated, but Jin Shengman was so disgusted that she vomited on the spot. Even now, she doesn't know that she was deceived.

    Li Min thought for a while and smiled: "What a great idea, I'll eat preserved eggs tonight!"

    "Okay! I'm going to prepare. We have a lot more brought from Dengzhou!"

    As soon as Hua'er cheered, he turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled by Wen'er next to him. Wen'er admonished Li Min: "Your Highness, Jin Yan is the master of a country no matter what, we are teasing others like this."  , isn¡¯t it a bit too much?¡±

    Li Min knew that Wen'er was soft-hearted, so he wasn't angry after hearing this. He rolled his eyes and thought of a good idea.?, I saw him rolling up his sleeves, revealing the bite mark on his wrist and saying: "Wen'er, it's not that I want to tease her, but she really bullied her too much. Look at my wrist, it was bitten by her in the first place.  of!"

    As Li Min's personal maids, Wen'er and Hua'er naturally knew what happened to the injury on Li Min's arm. Hua'er was afraid of the world being in chaos and shouted: "That's right, that woman is so cruel, she almost  Bite off a piece of meat from His Highness¡¯s arm, we must give her a taste of the pain!¡±

    When Wen'er saw the scar on Li Min's hand, her heart ached, and seeing that both Li Min and Hua'er looked eager to try, she couldn't stop her anymore, so she had to let go of Hua'er's hand and let go.  It's up to them to mess around.

    But at this moment, the guards outside suddenly found Li Min and whispered in his ear for a while. This made Li Min's face darken. He hurriedly went out to meet someone, and then had a secret conversation with him in the study.  After a while, the other party was allowed to leave. After Li Min walked out of the study, he stopped at the door and looked eastward, with a bit of murderous intent in his eyes.

    During dinner, Li Min and Jin Shengman sat down in the restaurant, and then the maid served several side dishes. Although there were not many dishes, the dishes were quite exquisite. Li Min ate them rudely,  But Jin Shengman ate extremely elegantly, and didn't even look at Li Min.  This made Li Min a little bored, and he secretly winked at Hua'er. Hua'er immediately understood, turned around and brought a plate of preserved eggs with the egg whites removed, and they were all cut into two halves, which really looked like cut animals.  Eyeballs are average.

    When Hua'er put the plate on the table, Li Min noticed that Jin Shengman, who had been eating with his head down, froze up and his face became a little unnatural, probably because he remembered the last time he vomited.  This made Li Min immediately feel a sense of accomplishment. He casually picked up a piece of preserved egg and put it into his mouth. While eating, he said to Hua'er next to him: "The deer eyes taste good today. Hua'er, do you want to try it?"

    Hua'er immediately replied knowingly: "How can this slave be lucky enough to taste such delicacies? Your Highness should let Jin Yanren taste it!"

    Upon hearing this, Li Min immediately gave Hua'er an appreciative look, then pushed the plate of preserved eggs in front of Jin Shengman, and said to her in a gentle voice for the first time: "Shengman, this is a rare delicacy in the world.  Hurry up and taste it!"

    According to Li Min's estimation, Jin Shengman should have started to vomit by this time, but what happened today was obviously beyond his expectation. Jin Shengman, who seemed very nervous just now, suddenly calmed down and gently  After putting down his chopsticks, he showed an extremely gentle smile to Li Min, then lightly opened his lips and said: "Thank you for the reward, His Highness. However, Shengman has not been able to express his feelings since he married His Highness. Today, I take this opportunity to thank Shengman."  Man also prepared a dish for His Highness!¡±

    After Jin Shengman finished speaking, the maid beside her ran out immediately, but Li Min suddenly felt something bad when looking at her beautiful face.  After a while, the maid brought over a jade plate covered with a lid and placed it gently on the table.

    I saw Jin Shengman stretched out a jade hand, then gently grabbed the lid, raised his red lips in a beautiful arc and said: "I know that His Highness likes to eat deer eyes, so I specially asked someone to prepare some, and we  Silla is different from the Tang Dynasty in that they like to eat these things raw!"

    As Jin Shengman spoke, he gently opened the lid. As a result, Wen'er and Hua'er beside Li Min all screamed, and even Li Min frowned. As expected, what was on the plate was as Jin Shengman said.  There were a few fresh animal eyes, and even his sharp eyes found that there was a trace of blood on them.

    Looking at the eyes on the plate, Li Min looked at the preserved eggs he had eaten just now. He felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach and felt like vomiting, although he also knew that many people in later generations like to eat fish eyes, lamb's eyes, etc.  Eyes and the like, but Li Min has always stayed away from food like eyes, let alone eating them raw.

    Jin Shengman gently picked up a small fork, then very cruelly picked up an eye, dipped it in the sauce next to it, then brought it to Li Min's mouth and said: "Your Highness, please try it."  How are my cooking skills? This sauce was prepared by me myself. I wonder if it suits your taste?"

    Before the eyeball reached Li Min's mouth, he could already smell the unique fishy smell of raw meat. Looking at the animal eyeball that was skewered with a fork, Li Min felt that his eyes hurt a little, and at the same time, his stomach felt a little painful.  After a while, he realized that the preserved egg that he had eaten just now made him feel very sick, as if he had actually eaten a raw eyeball.

    "Your Highness, please eat. This eyeball was just dug out of a deer's eye. It's the freshest thing to eat while it's still a little hot!" Jin Shengman said with a smile again, as if she was holding the rarest thing in the world.  Some are averagely delicious.

    Li Min is now unable to advance or retreat.?At first, he said he liked to eat deer eyes, but Jin Shengman followed the trend and actually prepared deer eyes. He had good intentions both emotionally and rationally, so he couldn't find any reason not to eat them, but  Not to mention eating now, his stomach is churning, and it's already good if he doesn't vomit it out.
