Chapter 378: Caravan
Clear summer and clear water. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Long carriages and horses occupied the official road, and soldiers armed with spears guarded the sides of the carriage.
This is a convoy of grain and grass, and the team is like a long snake, all the way to the north.
Two inconspicuous figures stayed away, staring at the fading procession.
"Childe, how are we going to get in?"
"King Qi is still behind, with a military salary ......" The young man known as Gongzi thought of this, his eyes became deeper and deeper, he almost forgot one thing, and suddenly said, "Lian Xia, we must hurry back as soon as possible." ”
"Where is Childe going?"
"King Qi's journey won't be so easy. ”
After the king of Qi was named the commander of the reinforcement army, he was actually escorting grain, grass and military salaries.
The king of Qi once went to the north with the emperor, and had the experience of the war, for this northern expedition, the most suitable candidate for the main road general is the king of Qi, of course, there are many people in the court who elected the king of Qi.
Now that the backup is falling on the head of King Qi, the emperor just wants to suppress King Qi's long-term restlessness.
After a half-day hurried road, it was already evening when I arrived at Neihuang.
"Childe, are we going to enter the city? It's still too late to enter the city. ”
Yan Hanyu watched a caravan pass by, and couldn't help but take a second look.
"Childe, nine out of ten people in this team are masters, and all of them are vigilant. Lian Xia cautiously leaned over to her and whispered.
"Really?"
It seemed that Lian Xia's words reminded her, and she looked at the marks left by the wheel.
The wheels on the ground were very deep, and it was obvious that they were loaded with heavy goods.
This looks like just an ordinary caravan, but what is it that can be loaded? Will it need so many expert escorts?
Thinking of this, Yan Hanyu hurriedly followed the team.
"Uncle, uncle, excuse me, where are you going?" the voice that spoke was crisp, and the face of the person who spoke was ordinary, and a friendly smile appeared on his face.
"Go away!" one of the big men walked out and pushed her away unceremoniously.
Yan Hanyu was suddenly thrown to the ground.
"Childe, Childe, are you okay?" Lian Xia hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and said angrily to the big man, "What's the matter with you? Our son just asked you a word, if you don't want to answer, forget it, why push people!"
"Forget it, Lian Xia. There was no anger on her face, but there was a look of disappointment in her eyes, "I wanted to find a caravan to accompany me safer, but it seems that it can't be done." ”
The rest of the men gathered next to the carriage stretched out their hands and touched the carriage, and when Lian Xia saw this, he held Yan Hanyu's hand tightly.
"What's going on?" a middle-aged man in dark blue clothes came from the front on horseback.
The big man looked over, and his voice was deep, "The two of them are making trouble!"
"No, no, no. Yan Hanyu waved his hand and hurriedly explained, "Uncle, we are not making trouble. ”
"Two little brothers, it's getting dark, and we're still in a hurry, so we can't stay with you for a long time. ”
The middle-aged man's attitude was noticeably better.
"I'm really sorry uncle, we were also in a hurry, but because it was getting dark, the two of us just wanted to find a companion to travel, so I bothered you, I'm sorry. ”
"Where are you going?"
"Go to Jinju. I think you're going in that direction too, so you should be going to Jinju, right?"
"We're not going to Jinju. The middle-aged man said, "But passing by, you can follow, just follow me on the road." ”
"Thank you so much. Yan Hanyu happily pedaled the horse to follow.
The big man wanted to say something, but was stopped by the middle-aged man.
"Uncle, you are a good person, but the people in your family are so fierce!" Yan Hanyu followed and accosted.
The middle-aged man smiled, "Only he has a bad temper, don't be afraid, little brother, he is not a bad person." ”
"I'm not afraid now. Yan Hanyu smiled friendlyly, "I haven't told my uncle what my name is, my surname is Guo, my name is Guo Yan, I haven't asked my uncle's name, what is my uncle's surname?"
"My surname is Lee. ”
"Uncle Li. ”
"Hey, you can shut up!"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind him.
The middle-aged man surnamed Li only glanced at the man and didn't say anything.
Yan Hanyu was startled by this voice, and already knew that he would be driven away if he talked more, so he rode his horse to Lian Xia's side.
The caravan carried five wagons and was escorted by more than twenty people, all of whom were dressed as wrestlers and walked fast on both sides of the carriage. Two people were riding horses, one of whom was a middle-aged man surnamed Li.
Due to the heavy load, the journey was not fast.
The twilight was dark, and only the starry sky and the moon were left along the way.
After walking for more than an hour, people are sleepy and tired, and they still have to rest after all.
The people of the caravan set up two simple tents at random, and those who drank water drank water, and those who ate dry food ate dry food, and stood guard by the side of the carriage.
"Childe, do we really want to follow?" Lian Xia lowered his head and whispered, "Those people and carriages have weapons hidden on them, and they are very dangerous. ”
Yan Hanyu watched the movements of those people carefully, and really cared about the things of those carriages, and there were weapons, it would definitely not be simple.
"Give me some water. She didn't answer Lian Xia's words, she only said.
Lian Xia handed over the kettle and said in a low voice, "Let Childe suffer." ”
Running all the way, only eating dry food and drinking cold water, it is completely unexpected for a noble lady to have such patience and even summer.
"There is only one time in this life......" she murmured in a low voice, and raised a faint smile again, "I'm fine, I won't be unable to suffer." ”
"Little Brother Guo is in such a hurry at night, I don't know why?" the middle-aged man surnamed Li suddenly stood behind them.
Yan Hanyu said ashamedly, "Uncle Li, I don't dare to hide my uncle, because I am ugly in the family, I am really embarrassed to say, something happened at home, I want to rush to Jinzhou to find someone from my grandfather's family for help, but this road is not stable, so I will find someone to accompany me." ”
"I see. The man surnamed Li nodded.
"Uncle, why are you in a hurry?"
"Oh, we have to get the goods in time for the delivery date, and we are on time, so we have to hurry. ”
The man surnamed Li didn't say much, "You have to get up early tomorrow morning and hurry, you guys should rest early!"
"Well, thank you, uncle. ”
"We don't have extra tents either, you can go in and rest if you want to rest, and we'll leave two places for you, and they'll keep vigil.
"Uncle Li's kindness, Guo Yan understands it, let's just sleep here. ”
A white light in the east, ushering in a new day.
After the morning smoke of the morning cooking, an army was about to set off, but it heard the loud voice of a small soldier coming into the tent, "Report!"
"What's the matter?" replied in a lazy voice.
"Lord Wang, there is a person who took this and said that he must see the prince. ”
"No, is this king the kind of person who can be seen casually?"
The soldier hesitated, "That person, that person said ......"
"Say what?"
"Say, said that the prince took his things and wanted to return them to him. ”
"This king took his things?
"Lord Wang!" the little soldier was embarrassed.
"You get out too!"
"That person said spring flowers and autumn moons ......"
Xiao Bing said these words without a knot, only dared to raise his head and glanced at it hurriedly, strode forward, put down the things in his hand, and carried out a series of words and actions at the same time, and he didn't dare to look at His Royal Highness the face of the king and quickly retreat.
