Chapter Eighty-Nine: Always Ready
The next output of Taoyuan ore veins will complete the task three days ahead of schedule, which is beyond He Xiu's imagination, but these three days have bought him more time for what he has to do next.
In order to put his mind at ease and do the next thing, he personally escorted the team, put the formed iron in the armory, and then turned to leave.
When they came to Huipeng Building, they looked at Old Man Zhang, and the two walked in the corner: "He boy, don't worry, I have done all the things you explained to me, let's say, when will you use those things?"
"Uncle Zhang, you don't have to ask anything, just take care of these things, I will do the rest, I have discussed it with Uncle Guan, and you can go to the account office to receive fifty taels of silver after you go back in the evening." ”
Old man Zhang moved his fingers, still refusing to believe that the money could come so quickly: "He boy, don't worry, even if I don't have a silver pattern for these fifty taels, I will take this matter to heart." ”
Then he hit his horse and came to the Chang family's weapons shop, and saw that Qiao Shen was still sticking there: "How is Brother Qiao? Is everything going well? Have you checked the surnames on the weapons one by one?"
"Brother He, don't worry, you did that thing so beautifully, I won't drop my tail. ”
"Okay, after this matter is completed, I will take you to meet her, you continue to stick here, and I will go back to see Uncle Guan first. ”
The whip struck the horse's back hard, and the Guan Fu came to him, turned over and dismounted, and immediately came to the visitor hall.
Guan Kaihui was already waiting for his good news here, and when he saw him walk in, he was excited: "Xiu'er, you've worked hard these days, is it going well for Old Man Zhang?"
"Uncle Guan, everything is going well, everything is ready, as long as all the weapons are formed, I can leave those marks on our weapons without realizing it. After He Xiu finished speaking, he took a sip of tea in his stomach.
"Okay, very good, you are sleeping in the mountains, hurry up and rest, don't get tired. ”
"Uncle Guan, is He'er still walking with Guo Zhenxing?" He Xiu didn't want to ask about this matter, but he was too worried about her in his heart: "I want to see her before I go to Chang Youzhou, and I also ask Uncle Guan to fulfill it." ”
Guan Kaihui squeezed out some sad smiles: "Xiu'er, I know what you think in your heart, I will enlighten He'er there, for now, you better rest first." ”
Seeing his expression like this, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, Guan Zhihe was determined to consume it with himself, and he was pulled to the Millennium Building by a trace of strength in his heart.
Gu Tiantian told him that if you want to know everything about Guan Zhihe, you can come to her at any time.
Wandering downstairs, thinking about it, hesitating what excuse to use to go in, no matter what he does now, he represents the Guan family, and he must not do anything that makes people laugh.
"Childe, hehe, we haven't seen each other for a long time, are you here to find me?" In the window lattice on the top of the building, Gu Tiantian poked his head out and said happily.
"Oh...... Dumping girl, I ...... It's true that there are some things I want to talk to you about, but I don't know if it's convenient for a dumping girl?" Her embarrassment was in full view of her, and she was extremely embarrassed at the moment, so she had to finish her words with a hard face.
"Childe, please wait. ”
He Xiu patted his cheeks with both hands, so that he could keep himself calm enough, and just after finishing his dress, Gu Tianting had already come behind him: "Meet Childe, Childe is here for Sister He'er!"
was broken by Gu Tilting's words, occasionally showing a little helplessness, adjusted his mentality, turned around and said: "Tilting girl is not a sister of He'er, she is as kind of as her, and she doesn't hide it from Tilting Girl, I miss Lotus very much in my heart, and I don't know where to look for her, so I have to come to the door to beg for mercy." ”
"Sister He'er, she lives in my courtyard, she is very safe, and her daily necessities are also sufficient, so you can rest assured. Gu Tian tilted his eyebrows and said, looking at his deep eyes dodgingly.
"That's good, dare to ask the dumping girl, has the wall been built?"
"Childe is really careful, all the time is related to the safety of Sister He'er, hehe, I will find someone to build it the next day, Childe don't worry. ”
This sentence was full of envy, and He Xiu dodged her eyes: "That's good, He Xiu said goodbye." ”
"Childe doesn't have anything to tell me?"
Just took more than three steps forward, Gu Tiantian's words were slightly choked, or a kind of unwillingness, if this kind of scene is not restrained, I am afraid that it will cause misunderstanding: "Oh, by the way, Brother Qiao told me to visit Miss Tiantian in person in a few days, hehe." With that, he walked away quickly.
Half a month, there is one day left, under the unified coordination of Guan Kaihui, everyone in the Guan Mansion is preparing for the departure the day after tomorrow in an orderly manner at this moment.
He Xiu came to the stable, carefully checked the physical condition of the horses, and whether the feed reserves were sufficient, and personally met with all the horsemen, asking them to rest well before departure, and not to drink in private, gamble and a series of harmful activities.
Then the steps were taken to check whether the vehicles were in good condition, and according to the calculation of 500 spears per cart, it would take 20 carts to load them all.
In the homes of the rich and noble, there are a number of medical personnel in the house, and these people will also follow in this operation to ensure the health of everyone in the convoy, so they went here again to check carefully.
And there are a lot of herbs that need to be prepared, and after preliminary calculations, two wagons need to be loaded.
In the end, it was decided that a total of 10 spare carriages were needed to accompany the convoy, and the 10 medical personnel who accompanied them also needed two carriages, plus a vehicle for herbal medicine, as well as five carriages for transporting feed, food for human use, pots and stoves, etc., plus 20 martial arts practitioners who were responsible for the safety of the convoy, plus the horses he led the team, a total of about 60 horses and 39 carriages were needed, such a team was not insignificant.
These are the most basic conditions for really reaching Toyusu, if any link is missing, it will be difficult to move an inch, and disasters will also knock on the door of Sekifu.
He left to record these data, and returned to the mansion to hand them to Guan Kaihui for a look: "Uncle Guan, this is all the details of this mission, please check it and see if there is anything missing." ”
In a study full of ink, the desk was covered with this book, Guan Kaihui retracted his heart, looked at these articles and clauses with cautious eyes, circled the pen in his hand, attached the name to the side, and let out a long breath after half a ring: "Xiu'er, invite Mr. Sha to come with you, his skills are second only to you, and multiple helpers are also excellent." ”
"What Uncle Guan said is that I will invite Mr. Sha from Chang's house. ”
In the past few days, he has been rushing back and forth, and he has forgotten the most important person, and Guan Kaihui reminded him that without further ado, he turned over and got on the horse, and the sound of tapping spread to Changfu.
He Xiu is now a distinguished guest of the Chang family, and the family hurriedly bowed to lead the way, and in a blink of an eye, he came to a quiet courtyard.
This small courtyard has a huge pond of quiet lake, which is crystal clear, and there is no debris in it, nor any flowers and trees grow, and it looks invigorating.
The four houses in the courtyard are also decorated with a color of water blue paint, with a little ambiguity in the atmosphere, thinking about it, this is Hong Ji's residence.
"May I ask if Mr. Hong is there?" He Xiu raised his voice and shouted towards the main room.
"Yo, people's eyelids, I danced all night last night, and people secretly thought that there should be a distinguished guest to visit, but I really guessed right, hehe. Hong Ji opened the door, her hair was unrestrained and let it fly, dressed in a light red veil, her white skin loomed, leaning against the door frame, seductively.
He Xiu didn't avoid her eyes, and said respectfully: "Hehe, Mr. Hong is really good at laughing, I He Xiu dare to be called a distinguished guest, at best, I am just a guest, I don't know if Mr. Sha can be here?"
"Alas, it seems that people are empty of joy," Hong Ji twisted a wisp of green silk, shook his head and sighed: "Brother Jiannan, you should go back, everyone has come to the door." ”
"Oh, it's coming," Sha Jiannan was still unrestrained when he came out, and he was busy with a smiling face: "Haha, Brother He, did you come to me Sha Mou to drink?"
"Mr. Sha, the Guan Mansion has a big deal to ask you to help with now, I wonder if Mr. Sha can lean in to help?" He Xiu's words did not contain a trace of pleading, and even his attitude was very clear, it didn't matter if he helped or not.
"Haha, Brother He is scolding me Sha Jiannan is not, although I Sha Mou is in Changfu, I have never forgotten the Guan family in my heart, you can rest assured, even if I die for the Guan family, I won't blink an eye, haha......" Sha Jiannan said with a bold belly.
"Haha, Mr. Sha is still happy in the past, without further ado, let's go," and then waved to Hong Ji: "Mr. Hong, we are leaving." ”
"Childe, don't go...... Hmph!"
As for her retention, He Xiuquan didn't hear it, and he went back with Sha Jiannan one after the other.
Considering Sha Jiannan's character, he was assigned some management chores, mainly responsible for grain and grass matters.
Sha Jiannan did not have the slightest grievance, accepted them all, and guaranteed that the people were in the food and grass.
At night, He Xiu came to the Changjia weapons shop with a torch and checked the quality of the weapons with Chang An and Sha Jiannan, as well as the carving of the surname.
The three of them knew the importance of the matter, and they didn't say a word of nonsense, but accepted them one by one, until late at night, picked out three unqualified spears, and let them rebuild them.
Qiao Shenming had been staring at him for fourteen days, and the dark circles under his eyes were already obvious, He Xiu replaced him and asked him to sleep well, there were more important things waiting for him to do tomorrow.
Chang An also couldn't put his mind at ease this night, so he decided to stay behind and supervise with him, and they used the cross method, going to another shop every three tea times to check.
The rooster crows brightened the east, and the golden wheel slowly climbed.
The two of them each squinted in the inner hall for a while, He Xiu woke up, saw that Chang An was no longer there, and grabbed three steamed buns on the desk indiscriminately, with clear tea, put them in his stomach, and walked to his own weapons shop.
Guan Kaihui was followed by a group of the most important stewards of the Guan family, and among these people, He Xiu also knew some of them, and greeted them humbly.
"Xiu'er, today is the last day, there can be no mistakes at this juncture, the last process, you have to personally supervise, don't be careless," Guan Kaihui picked up a spear and shook it: "Everyone, whether my Guan family can make a name for themselves in Nanyang Country depends on this battle, are you ready?"
"Master, we are always ready!"
