The streets in the east of Suzhou City-

The coachman had brought a few new guests from the dock to the area.

He passed by the familiar door of the house, and saw several horses parked under the big trees.

It seems that there are new guests here, and there is more than one!

The coachman's eyes swept over the door of the mansion, and he said secretly in his heart.

The nearest Suzhou City seems to be more lively.

Even if he was catching a car on the street, he had a feeling that the number of people coming to Suzhou from all over the country had increased!

Could it be that they all plan to go to the north or south after a stopover?

He was about to leave the guests when an oncoming carriage slowed down.

It's really a coincidence today, and it's actually a companion at the dock, and the same guests are sent to the east of Suzhou.

On normal days, in fact, there are far fewer guests who come to the east of the city than to go to the west of the city, and the big families in the east of the city have their own cars, and they rarely hire unfamiliar drivers to pull the cars at the dock.

On this trip, people arrived one after another, and even the driver sensed that something was wrong.

When his peers saw him, they stopped the car, and the two of them talked on the side of the road.

There is not even a coarse tea stall here, so I can only stand and talk a few words.

"There are more people at the city gate," the colleague said in a low voice, "There are people sent by the government to guard there, I don't know what's going on?!" ”

"I heard that Master Wang has already passed Suzhou, could it be that he is guarding against the meticulous work from the north?"

The coachman looked down and thought for a moment, then looked at his companion and asked.

"Brother, you ask me, who can I ask?" My colleague said with a smile, "Business is good this morning, I have pulled several groups of customers, if there is such a good business every day"

"You think too much, the past few days were so lonely, these days are like what you said, a little abnormal."

The two of them were talking on the street. I heard a push on the door, and saw the door of the mansion open, and it turned out that the car of the restaurant that was transporting vegetables had arrived.

The men of the interior came out to answer them.

The driver, who witnessed the whole transaction process, couldn't help but sigh: "Look at the people, what is the difference." Let's go to the dock to pick up the guests! ”

He said hello, got into the carriage first, and ran all the way in the direction of the docks.

It was indeed a different coachman who watched his companion leave, watched the door close again, and he muttered a few words. The figure disappeared around the corner in the east of the city.

Not long after he left, a small group of people came out of the mansion.

These people, who looked alive and were still a little tired from the journey, were going to the north to meet their little master.

The dispute that the guards in the Tianfang Courtyard heard earlier was that those people had a quarrel with the Fu Steward of the Yuwen family over some things.

People who work hard overnight will be a little more angry, and the Fu steward has always been in a state of anxiety because the little master is not there.

Once the two sides are on the bar, it's no wonder if they don't quarrel!

However, after some arguments, the two sides finally reconciled!

No matter how unwilling they are, the two sides can only take a step back and temporarily suppress the differences that exist in them for the sake of the same ultimate matter.

They must make it to the post station on the way to the Northlands, where they plan to join the missing master.

He's been there for days, and he still doesn't know where he is.

To the people of the Yuwen family. There are priorities, and you have to weigh what is most important so that you can decide what to do at the moment.

The courtyard in the east of the city is much less manpower than the courtyard of ordinary large households.

Even so, there are always people who need to be in contact with the outside.

Even the people who live in this area passing by on the street must have seen the people of the Yuwen family contact with the outside more than once, from the purchase of ingredients in the mansion to the daily delivery of mountain spring water.

For example, didn't the car that came to deliver food stop at the door for a while?

The dishes I wanted today were obviously different from the usual ones when the little master was there. Those strange ingredients are obviously not used by people to eat.

If you want to find an opportunity to get close, you can find it if you look carefully

When the men returned, the guards gathered again in the courtyard.

At this moment, their Lord Heaven is inspecting what the guards have prepared.

He looked at it carefully. He sighed and stood with his hands in his hands and said, "Remove half of it." ”

The original intention of Tianfang was that there was no need to prepare, and it couldn't stand the thoughtfulness and carefulness of the guards.

"Lord!" The guards hurriedly said, "It's not a day or two to go to the Northland, and most of the places I pass through on the way are in the mountains."

He had more to say than that.

Tianfang was upset when he heard this, and immediately made a gesture to stop.

He looked at the guard, shook his head according to his temper, and said in a gentle tone, "It's not going directly to the Northland. “

The guards watched intently at him. Tianfang continued: "I plan to go to the mountains in the north of Nanhua Town, and I feel inconvenient to carry so many things. ”

The guards exchanged glances, their expressions different.

"You insist on bringing it, and when the time comes, send people to take it directly to the Northland."

As soon as I thought about it, I immediately came up with a compromise idea.

"I'm going to start with Jane, just with someone."

"Lord!" The guards said in unison.

Tianfang smiled slightly, and looked at their watches.

He wandered around the courtyard a few times, stopped under the tree and said to them helplessly: "I know that you have good intentions, and I understand it." ”

If you really want to transport the prepared items directly to the Northland, what difference can you make if you bring them with you or not?

The guards didn't dare to say this.

Because in their opinion, the companions in the north will definitely take advantage of the arrival of the lord to make a proper arrangement, even if it is not as close as Suzhou here, they will always try their best to arrange.

The most worrying thing is when Tianfang is on the way.

But the Lord had made up his mind, and they could not control it, just as they could not control him to go to the northland.

Do something and don't do anything! It takes courage to refute!

Tian put it back in the study, and came out of it a moment later, with an extra burden in his hand.

The people standing outside looked even more surprised, they didn't know what their family master had done in such a short period of time?

"The hour is almost up, let's leave now," the smile on Tianfang's lips gradually retracted, and he said in a deep voice to the guards waiting in the courtyard, "Before nightfall, I may be able to stay in Nanhua Town for one night, and go directly to the mountains tomorrow morning." ”

Tianfang plans to follow the plan he has come up with. Take it one step at a time.

He ordered a few guards to follow

Before leaving, advise on the matter.

The guard lowered his voice and said to the sky: "The news from the north has come one after another, we will always pay attention here, please rest assured, Lord." ”

Don't let it go. They took the initiative to mention it, and it was one of the oldest guards who stayed here to stand up and say it.

Tianfang glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"After arriving at Nanhua Town tonight, if there is news from the mountains, you must deliver it in time."

Tianfang thought about it. The few people left in Suzhou should be able to deal with the matter here.

As early as when he was on the ship, he let the people under him use flying pigeons to pass on the news of the events of these days to the people of the north.

According to Tianfang's estimate, plus what they saw after arriving at the wharf of Suzhou City, the group of people left the big mansion next door and came out in full gear, refusing to stay even for a moment, the reason for this must be the urgency of the task.

What tasks can they urgently wait to do?

That means that their little master has already given an order!

This man has some ability, and God is relieved to make a judgment. Anyone who is separated by two places and can control the situation is not a simple person.

If nothing else, there is definitely a chance to run into it!

"Young Master, from your heart, you don't want to take over the affairs of the Yuwen family?"

I couldn't help it, standing in the cave, I still asked him this.

"Yes and no."

The young man hesitated, but still answered me, "Xiaoling, there are too many things." The burden on your shoulders is heavy. ”

He smiled self-deprecatingly, looked at me and said, "If it were you, you would also want to escape, so it's right not to want to take over." ”

"Why is that?"

I asked, looking at him puzzled.

I'd love to say a word. Can't the whole family pick out anyone else?

"You guessed it right," the young man nodded with a deep groan, "Xiaoling, because no one else can take it!" ”

When he said this, his tone was helpless, and there was a kind of depression that had no other way.

I think. Again, he guessed my thoughts.

"Young Master, why do I suddenly think you're quite miserable!"

I didn't expect to be said by me, and after listening to the words, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion, looking at the tsundere boy's eyes a little complicated.

Put yourself in his shoes, if I were him, how would I face a difficult problem?!

Everyone has seen his glamorous side, and he has seen an amazing degree of food and clothing in Yuwen's house, but there are always some things that have nothing to do with material things and have nothing to do with status

"Who said that, the young master of the Yuwen family, the golden and jade, how many people dream of being it!"

The boy glanced at me, and the words sounded familiar, probably because I had complained about his words before.

Unexpectedly, when he first said it, the tsundere boy listened to it.

I said it inadvertently at the moment, and I was more embarrassed.

I bowed my head in embarrassment.

After a few seconds of silence, I raised my head again and said to the tsundere boy: "Young Master, there are pros and cons to everything, you get some and pay some, right?" ”

"Young Master, you can't ask for perfection in everything, no regrets," a trace of confusion flashed in my eyes, and I fixed my mind and said to him, "How can you be as good as you want but beg to be worthy of my heart!" ”

I stepped forward, reached out and patted the tsundere boy on the shoulder.

I lowered my eyelids in thought, then raised my head and continued to him: "What's more, you yourself admit that the young master of the Yuwen family, how many people dream of being it!" "Xiaoling, you don't have to persuade me, I've already accepted it."

The boy paused for a moment, then smiled faintly at my gaze.

"It's not just accepting it now, I've already figured it out a few years ago, so I understand what you want to say but don't say."

The boy subconsciously reached out and patted me on the shoulder.

It's a weird feeling.

Obviously, I was going to comfort and relieve him, but in the end, it seemed that he was persuading me.

It was not easy to accept the arrangement, take over the affairs, and take responsibility, so I took a deep breath and stood up straight

The cave was only me and his footsteps, walking slowly, the torch in his hand illuminating the path in the cave, and I didn't know when I would have to walk to see the exit.

"Young Master, you haven't read so many brochures in the study of your Chengdong Mansion?"

I spoke into the boy's back.

He slowed down slightly and asked, "Xiaoling, what do you say?" ”

"If you've read the pamphlets about the Northland, and you've seen the topographical maps, you know the situation in this area."

I paused, and the boy stopped and turned to look at me.

With a smile, he looked back at him intently and said, "If you are familiar with the road conditions, we won't be going around like headless flies!"

"Calculate that we have walked a lot of roads since we entered the mountain, coming down from the mountain village and crossing the official road, haven't we been walking?"

"Do you know where it will lead out of the cave now?"

"I'll tell you the truth, I really can't be sure, Xiaoling."

I stared at his back, lowered my voice, and said, "You think it's getting more and more deviant from the official road, but we have to take a detour to rush back." ”

"Xiaoling, I understand what you said, when we get to the official road, we will make up for the delayed time."

The boy was unimpressed, and he replied calmly, and he glanced back at me with a slight smile in his eyes.

"How do you make it up?" I asked him curiously.

"Didn't I tell you?" The young man paused, and then said, "The official road is going north, and at the next post station, there will be people from the Yuwen family who came from Suzhou." ”

"Isn't it just your man, young master?"

I glanced at him and answered.

"That's pretty much what it means, when those people come, I'll leave one with the best driving skills, let's go to the Northland, even if it's a night walk!"

After the boy finished speaking, his eyes fell on my face, and then narrowed his eyes.

"Young Master, you mean to travel day and night, so are you responsible for catching the car during the day?" I decided to ask a little more carefully.

"That's right." The boy replied succinctly.

"Eldest young master, are you not going to enjoy the happiness or whatever, since you have all found someone to help, why bother to keep one person, leave two, you can rest!"

What the hell is going on in this guy's head, why do you always have to take the trouble to go?!

"The reason why you don't want to keep one is because the closer you get to the northland, the more difficult it is to walk, and I don't worry about their skills."

The boy explained to me: "It's out of helplessness, it's not that you want to do this." ”

"You mean, you're far superior to them?"

I couldn't tell what he was thinking, so I looked at him and asked.

The young man looked at me, frowned, raised his voice a little, and said, "That's right, there is no one to replace you, understand?" (To be continued.) )
