Zhou Tingyu and Shu Yanhua were escorted back to Beijing by Liu Guang with a team of soldiers in regular clothes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, Liu Guang also wanted to arrange a maid to serve Shu Yanhua, but Shu Yanhua refused, Shu Yanhua also maintained a kind of vigilance in Liu Guang's heart, and did not want his people to serve her closely.

Liu Guang was not entangled, nor did he persuade him, since Shu Yanhua didn't want it, he didn't force it.

Liu Guang also wanted Zhou Tingyu to stay in the carriage together, but Zhou Tingyu insisted on riding a horse, and Liu Guang finally agreed.

In this way, the group embarked on the road back to Beijing.

Liu Guang also walks during the day and stays at night, and will calculate the itinerary every day, and every time it is dusk, he will encounter small villages or towns where he can stay overnight, and he will never let these two people sleep in the barren mountains and mountains.

Such an accurate itinerary calculation made Zhou Tingyu's heart dark.

Yiling County, Yunlai Inn.

After dinner, Zhou Tingyu came to Liu Guangye's room and politely asked him about his next itinerary.

"Young Master Lu, at the current rate, it will be about ten days before you can return to Shangjing. After Yiling County, we will go east, and after passing Yinping County, we will be able to return to Shangjing very quickly. ”

Liu Guang also poured a cup of tea for Zhou Tingyu and beckoned him to sit down.

"So when will our family join us?" Zhou Tingyu held the teacup in his hand, his lips touched the edge of the cup, and he did not drink the tea in the teacup.

Previously, Liu Guang also said that he had sent someone to Beijing to inform the people of the Ningguo Mansion, and asked the people of the Ningguo Mansion to set off from Shangjing and rush to them, and when the time came, they would know whether Zhou Tingyu's identity was true or false.

That's why Zhou Tingyu asked.

Liu Guang also knocked on the table with his hand and muttered, "According to our speed, if the people from the Ningguo Mansion come as soon as they receive the news, it will probably take five days before they can join us." ”

Zhou Tingyu's heart was cold.

"In that case, I will not disturb the general's rest, and take my leave." Zhou Tingyu got up and politely bowed his hand and exited Liu Guangye's room.

Liu Guang also looked at Zhou Tingyu's back, his eyes were dark.

When they set off from the city gate the next morning, Zhou Tingyu and his party were still followed by a group of merchants.

The merchants laughed loudly, and it was obvious that the trip had been very good.

"Xiao Huang, the tea bricks you brought to your owner this time are very good, it seems that your boss is going to reward you again." A burly strong man said with a loud laugh.

The young man known as Xiao Huang smiled, "How can you compare to the third brother, the third brother will take back the silk this time, and earn at least this amount." ”

The young man flipped through his hand and gestured for a number.

The strong man laughed, "Hey, who let us not have a good weaving and dyeing workshop there, and the girls and ladies there like fashionable clothes, and they are all eaten by God." ”

The businessmen talked and laughed, and after a while, they parted ways with Zhou Tingyu and others and went to the other side.

Zhou Tingyu rode on the horse, but his heart became more and more vigilant, these days, Xu Song took Ah San and others to form a caravan, pretending to follow them on the same road, in order not to let Liu Guang also find out the clues, they would take a step ahead of them, not behind Liu Guangye.

When the leader heard that Zhou Tingyu said that he was going to find the generals of Xiangyang County and let the generals be responsible for sending him back to Shangjing, he drew a route for Zhou Tingyu to return to Shangjing as soon as possible.

Starting from Xiangyang County, go to Yiling County, go east to Yinping County, then to Baoding County, and finally return to Shangjing.

This route is the shortest and fastest distance, and those who can be military generals at least have this most basic marching ability, if they don't even have this, Liu Guang is not worthy of becoming a general in a county city.

If Liu Guang didn't follow this route...... Zhou Tingyu had to wonder if he had ulterior motives.

So at the beginning, the caravan composed of Xu Songren and others followed Liu Guangye, and then slowly overtook him, and arrived at the next city and county one step ahead of Liu Guangye, but because they were businessmen, they also needed to purchase goods, so every time they surpassed Liu Guangye, they would stop in that place, and take advantage of the convenience of purchasing goods, and when they saw Zhou Tingyu, they would continue on the road.

So along the way, Xu Song and the others were either behind Zhou Tingyu or waiting for him in front, almost following him, secretly guarding the safety of the two.

But this method cannot be used forever, because Xu Song and others are already on the way, in order to avoid arousing Liu Guangye's suspicion, they revealed a sentence or two that they will return after purchasing enough goods this time.

And Yiling County is the place where they parted ways.

When Xu Song and the others left, they were still very relieved, they were all observing Liu Guangye along the way, and found that he was a pure military general, even eating with boldness, and treating Zhou Tingyu and the two politely, plus Zhou Tingyu had told them in advance that this general was trustworthy, so they were relieved.

Walking out of Yiling County, without the escort of Xu Song and others, Zhou Tingyu's whole person felt a little noisy.

At noon on this day, the group stopped at the edge of a dense forest, which was still half a day away from the next village meeting point, and often stopped for food in the field during the day, and tried several times these days.

A few soldiers will go to hunt wild things, a few soldiers will build a stone stove to open a pot to cook, these are strong young people, they have to eat every day, and some wild things alone can't fill their stomachs, so there are some pots and bowls and rice vegetables on the carriage, which are purchased when they leave the city and county.

At this time, Shu Yanhua would get out of the carriage with a veil, boil some boiling water with the water source found by the soldiers, and distribute it to everyone.

It was already June, the weather was hot, and they were in a hurry, and they couldn't travel without hydration.

When Shu Yanhua is doing things, Zhou Tingyu will follow her and follow her step by step, Liu Guang often looks at Zhou Tingyu with playful eyes, and Zhou Tingyu calmly accepts his jokes - two little guesses, childhood sweethearts, and their external identities are still cousins, isn't it natural?

Fortunately, these soldiers were silent along the way, and they would only do things according to Liu Guangye's instructions, and did not pay attention to Zhou Tingyu and Shu Yanhua, which made Shu Yanhua not so embarrassed.

This time, Shu Yanhua also followed a soldier to the creek to get water, Zhou Tingyu followed her as usual, looked away from Liu Guangye's line of sight, and looked at the soldiers who had been leading the way in front of them, Zhou Tingyu quickly took Shu Yanhua's hand and wrote two words in her palm.

Shu Yanhua clenched her hands, she didn't ask, just bowed slightly.

She believed in Zhou Tingyu, so he asked him to do it, and she did it.
