Chapter 309: The Steward Gets a Token
Hong Tianxi hurriedly left in front of the Tang Mansion and returned to the street, without thinking of checking again.
Walking past a shop, the three gold-lettered signboards of "Revhuaxiang" were hanging, and the female shopkeeper in the shop with two guys was packing up the containers and opening the door to welcome customers.
Seeing Lu Huaxiang, he remembered that in the beginning, when the Yan family brothers and sisters were siblings, Yuxiu was busy guarding the small clay stove. Beside him, there are still two cans of sesame shrimp paste made by Yuxiu, and he has been reluctant to eat them, and those children are all good-hearted children......
"General......" A pro-soldier saw his old general standing at the door of the rouge shop, looking at the signboard with a touch on his face, which was indescribably weird.
He looked at the female shopkeeper in the store who still had the charm of, and then looked at his old general, this is ...... Fancy your own general actually likes this kind of half-aged?
The pro-soldier was slandering, and a man walked out of the Reval store, carrying a burden and looking like he was going out. Walking to the door, the man happened to meet Hong Tianxi. He took a closer look and walked over in surprise, "The little one has seen Old Lady Hong!"
Hong Tianxi didn't expect that there were still people here who knew him, and seeing this man dressed up, he thought about it for a while, and he was vaguely familiar.
When the man walked out of the Rew Balsam powder shop, he felt a little kind in his heart, waved his hand to let the two soldiers back a little, and led the man to the corner of the street, "Who are you?"
"The younger one is the steward of the Yan family, and I used to see the old lady when I was in Yunchang Town. The man said happily, "Uncle, they said that you have been out to visit friends, and you have been thinking about it." I actually met you in Qingzhou. Were you also trapped in Qingzhou a few days ago? When will you return to Yunchang? Uncle, they will be happy if they know that you have returned home. ”
The steward asked a few questions in a row, and he felt quite excited about seeing his old acquaintance in a foreign country.
Visiting friends?
Hong Tianxi thought about it for a while, and understood that this was Yudong's excuse, so no one on Yunchang's side knew that he was in Shuzhong? Thinking of this, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad in his heart, and said "hmm" vaguely.
The man only cared about his own happiness, and didn't care that Hong Tianxi didn't reply to his words, and said to himself, "This is really unfortunate, don't you know? Now it's still in Runzhou. ”
"Where are you staying these days? Is it an inn? Qingzhou City was broken, everyone is worried these days, fortunately, the old general Hong Dianhong who led the army is still a good person, and he didn't let the people be disturbed. I heard that King Teng led his troops to attack Runzhou. ”
The steward lowered his voice and shared the trail he heard, "Now that Qingzhou City can enter and exit, you go back to Yunchang quickly, and the little one will go back to tell the uncle." ”
"Dong'er, they are all in Runzhou?" Hong Tianxi saw that the steward obviously knew the news, and hurriedly asked.
"Yes, the little one rushed to Qingzhou to see the uncle. I didn't expect to come here before I knew that they had gone to Runzhou. Our family is very informative, and I heard that the uncle is going to stay in Runzhou for a few days. I'm packing up my things and heading north. Now there is a war, and there is a mess everywhere. By the way, you don't know, Guangshengji carriage and horse shops are all from our family, and there is one in Qingzhou, why don't I take you over and let them arrange a carriage to send you back to Yunchang?"
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry. Hong Tianxi waved his hand, "You came here to see Dong'er and them, is there something urgent at home?"
The steward hesitated, thinking that Hong Tianxi was not an outsider, lowered his voice again, and leaned closer and said, "It's not a family matter, it's a small one who encountered something in Shu." ”
"Shuzhong?"
"Yes, the little one was sent to Shuzhong by the uncle and the eldest lady to take care of the business over there. In Shanyang County, I met Mr. Tang. Mr. Donald is the same as you, the little ones have all seen it......"
It turned out that this steward was the steward of the grain ship in Shanyang County.
That night, he took his men to find Tang Henian's wife and children, and took those tiger soldiers with him to sail overnight. Fortunately, the journey was smooth sailing and there was no delay at all.
When the boat arrived at the Yanshan wharf, the soldiers refused to stay longer, and asked him for a few sets of people's clothes to change into before leaving. The steward hurriedly sent money to them to make entanglements, only saying that the proprietor had explained that he had to help people in trouble.
After hearing this, the tiger soldiers solemnly thanked: "We have a duty and can't stay longer." Thank you very much, and please tell the owner of the order, we thank you very much. After speaking, I hurried north to report the letter.
The steward thought of Mr. Tang's entrustment, and planned to send the grain to Yanshan Grange, and then send Tang Henian's wife and children to Qingzhou.
But the eldest lady made up her mind to go south.
The steward had no choice, so after going to the Grange to discuss with Yan Jinpeng, he sent a vehicle from the Yan family's carriage and horse shop to send them south.
He carried the letter written by Tang Hezhang to Yudong, and thought that the war in Shuzhong was coming, so he still quickly found a few Yudong and told them again.
Therefore, after the grain was handed over ashore, the steward packed up and rushed to Qingzhou.
Unexpectedly, he entered Qingzhou City with his front foot, and the Shu army killed him with his back foot. Trapped in the city for a few days, he was scared, and today he heard that the city gate was allowed to enter and exit, so he packed his baggage and wanted to go to Runzhou to report the news.
Hong Tianxi only said that Tang Hezhang stayed in Shanyang County, and obviously knew nothing about Tang Hezhang jumping into the river and dying. He groaned and said, "There shouldn't be a war on the Runzhou side for a while......
"That's better, the little one rushed to report the news, and asked the uncle to leave quickly. "This steward is also a stubborn character, and he decided to report the news, and he didn't think about the dangers of war at all.
"It's okay, be careful on your way. When they arrive in Runzhou, if the war has not yet started, let Dong'er and them leave quickly. ”
"Old lady, then you ......"
"I still have some things, you can go first. Hong Tianxi thought about it, and asked his soldiers to get a token, "If you meet the Shu army, give this to them, and say that you have a heavy responsibility." ”
The steward saw that the token was carved with messy patterns, and there were words that he couldn't understand, and he heard Hong Tianxi say it for sure, thinking that the old lady would definitely not lie to himself, and said with emotion, "The old lady is so capable, even there are acquaintances here." ”
"Okay, let's go!" Hong Tianxi smiled bitterly and drove away.
The steward was also in a hurry, and after saluting, he carried his burden and hurried away. Anyway, the old lady has acquaintances in the Shu army, so she doesn't have to worry about it.
Hong Tianxi saw him leave in a hurry, but he couldn't stay any longer, he turned to his soldiers and said, "You rush back to the barracks immediately, let everyone pack their luggage, and the army will start today!"
"General, didn't you say tomorrow?" asked the soldier strangely, it was almost noon now, and at this time, you were not allowed to sleep in the open at night?
"Bring enough dry food, you don't have to bury the pot for lunch, let everyone eat dry food, and start pulling it out immediately!" Hong Tianxi ordered without saying anything.
