Chapter 195 Hot Spring Night Guest


    Fei Qian and his party headed west along the north bank of the Yellow River.


    This day we have reached the vicinity of Wen County. The reason why Wen County is called Wen County is because there are hot springs in Wen County. The springs flow at a constant temperature all year round. The people are virtuous and the people are irrigated.


    For Fei Qian and his party, having such a hot spring in the mountains in early spring is simply a gift from God.


    Huang Zhong chose a relatively sheltered mountain col near the hot spring and set up camp. Because this time Fei Qian only had more than a hundred private soldiers, so the camp was no longer as strict as before. Instead, it was built according to the mountain terrain as much as possible, striving to be hidden and not easily discovered from a distance.


    After all, the current strength of the army is not as close to a thousand as before, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, after Fei Qian and Yi Ji separated, they kept a low profile as much as possible.


    In the past, Liu Jingzhou was the representative of the scepter. At least no one asked for trouble when encountering any obstacles. However, now Fei Qian and his party have no coordination and no writing. If they encounter someone who is unreasonable, they may not even be able to talk. No chance.


    ?This is why Fei Qian tried his best to avoid big county towns along the way.


    ??The sun was about to set, and even Huang Zhong, who had been worried about his son along the way, smiled at the thought of taking a bath in the hot springs at night.


    ?Although "marching" is just two words, it represents dust, stains, dirt and lice...


    Fei Qian, Huang Zhong, and the Huang family members led by Huang Cheng were relatively good and paid more attention to their own hygiene, but the hundreds of private soldiers were not so concerned about whether there were other creatures on their bodies. Settled.


    Although people have paid attention to personal hygiene as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. For example, the word "Mu" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions means a person stretches his head into a device to wash his hair, which means "wash hair", while the word "bath" means "washing hair". It refers to washing the body, that is, "sprinkling the body."


    But those are mostly for high-level people, and ordinary working people mostly take baths at some important time nodes, such as sacrifices, prayers, and Shangsi Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, etc. Take a bath.


    And other times, haha...


    Even Fei Qian has not been properly cleaned since leaving Luyang until now. Now that he has encountered such a treasured hot spring land, every pore in his body seems to be itching...


    After the camp was set up, Fei Qian couldn''t wait to take his clean clothes to the mountain to soak in the hot springs.


    There have long been soldiers on the mountain separated by curtains. The two small areas upstream enclosed by curtains are for Fei Qian and Huang Zhong, and the larger one further down is for Huang Cheng and the Huang family. Sir, as for ordinary private soldiers, it is already a luxury to have an area to take a hot bath, so what else can they say about privacy?


    ?Fei dived into the small partition surrounded by a cloth curtain and submerged his whole body into the hot spring, almost sighing with relief. At this time, if you add a small red stove and warm a pot of old rice wine, it will be a fairy-level enjoyment...


    ?But even now, Fei Qian felt that the fatigue accumulated over this period of time all over his body seemed to be slowly dissipating from his pores under the gentle caress of the hot spring.


    Fei Qian started to enjoy it first, while Huang Zhong carefully arranged the rotation, sentry duties, etc., and then went to the small partition with curtains that belonged to him, and first checked the condition of his son who had been in his arms. I carefully placed the records to ensure they would not get soaked by water before soaking in the hot spring.


    "Han Sheng, thanks to your help on this journey... Not far to the west of here is Mengjin. After crossing Mengjin, about one day''s journey to the west is Luoyang..."


    Perhaps because of the hot springs, and because he seemed to have put down the record of his son''s condition in his arms, Huang Zhong''s voice sounded obviously more relaxed and casual, "Zi Yuan, don''t say that. If it weren''t for your method, I would Maybe I’m still helpless and worried at home..." ? ? ? Although Huang Zhong was in a better mood about this matter, he obviously still didn’t want to talk more, so he changed the topic and said: "...By the way, Ziyuan, you asked Yi Yi a few days ago. Ji Bo is moving forward quickly, is there any danger? "


    "This...if this edict has already been made clear that it will be detrimental to oneself, at this critical moment, no one may be willing to accept it? If Uncle Ji is not allowed to leave early, if he is mistakenly hit by the passenger car..."


    When Fei Qian said this, he thought of another question - Cao Cao also intended to let Fei Qian go north with the imperial envoy that day. Could it be that Cao Cao was so smart that he didn''t understand that Yuan Shao was extremely reluctant to accept it at this point in time? The emperor''s edict came from Luoyang City?


    ??And based on Fei Qian''s guess, Yuan Shao would probably instruct his personnel to intercept these envoys from Luoyang, and even worse, he would even find an excuse like yellow turban bandits...


    ?The edict issued at this point either terminates the army or releases power, so an edict like this is obviously unacceptable. Otherwise, wouldn''t Yuan Shao''s own system of inheritance in Ye County become a joke?


    However, even Fei Qian could think of the problem, but Cao Cao couldn''t?


    ?This is obviously somewhat unlikely.


    ?So what did Cao Ca think at that time?


    ?Even though he knew that Fei Qian would be more risky if he followed the envoy than if he went alone, he still suggested going north with the envoy. The implication of this was a bit embarrassing.


    Just when Fei Qian was wondering what Cao Cao was thinking at that time, he didn''t realize that what he just said had a huge impact on Huang Zhong''s thinking mode...


    ? Huang Zhong, like most people in the Han Dynasty, has always believed that the emperor is sacred and the nobles are superior. These two levels are the ones who are legitimately in charge of the world.


    Needless to say, the emperor, Liu has become the representative of the gods in heaven and earth through continuous mythology for hundreds of years.


    The nobles, under the wise leadership of the emperor, manage the four directions, herd the people for the emperor, and ask for orders for the people. As a noble clan that has always prided itself on being knowledgeable and sensible, even if it is unwilling to accept the emperor''s edict, it is only right to proceed first, then find a way to explain it, and go to the court to express one''s feelings.


    How can you accept the imperial edict if you are willing to accept it, but not accept the imperial edict if you are not willing to accept it, and even attack the envoys of the imperial court? !


    ?In this case, isn''t it just like a bandit who dominates the mountain and becomes the king? How can such a noble clan be like the number one crown clan in the world?


    ?Huang Zhong was a little silent...


    ?At this moment, the soldiers on guard sent a message. A soldier came up to report that he had caught three people peeping, and they were also holding weapons!


    ?At this time, it is getting late, and those who are still out and about at this time, if there is no official banner, then it means that they are either thieves or bandits, most of them are lawless elements.


    Where is this uninvited guest?


    Mr. Chen wrote "Three Kingdoms". Normally, the order of biographies is very important, such as the records of emperors and the concubines'' biographies are connected one after another.


    The order of "Book of Wei" is the Chronicle of Emperor Wu, the Chronicle of Emperor Wen, the Chronicle of Emperor Ming, the Chronicle of the Three Young Emperors, and then the Chronicle of the Concubines;


    The same is true in "Shu Shu". There are biographies of Liu Ermu first, then the master''s biography, then the master''s biography, and then the two masters'' concubines'' biography.


    However, the order of "Wu Shu" is very different. First there are Sun Polu''s biography, Wu''s biography, Sansi''s biography, Liu Yao''s biography of Taishi Cishi Xie is inserted in the middle, and then there is biography of concubines.


    It’s strange.
