Chapter 150: Lost Food

Qi Lu is not there, no matter how bad her situation is, Lin Changyuan can only tell her. "Mr. Lin, it's okay to say anything." Xie Ke half-leaned on the chuang and said with a tired face.

Lin Changyuan frowned.

There are some things that should not be said to her, after all, no matter how heavy the burden on her shoulders is, she is a sick and weak girl after all.

In Lin Changyuan's eyes, in fact, Xie Ke has always been a little girl, even if she marries someone and combs her woman's hair, she is just a little girl who married earlier. Since she is a little girl, she should be pampered at home by her father.

But the little girl in front of her had to sleep in the open and follow her grandfather on a long journey.

Her grandfather went to the north, and she still had to plan in this town and do the work of logistics and supply for her grandfather. In short, to put it mildly, Lin Changyuan actually felt sorry for his young grandmother.

She is really not a big problem with this body, I heard the young grandmother tell me that she fell into the water when she was a child, maybe she fell into some diseases that time, and she did not recuperate carefully at that time, so that her body was infected with cold diseases.

As long as this disease is carefully cultivated, it is just colder, and it is not a fatal disease.

But the key lies in the word 'raising'.

At this juncture, how can the young grandmother be at ease to recuperate, so this disease will recur. "The young grandmother's body is weak, as long as she takes care of it, it doesn't matter much." Lin Changyuan didn't say anything in the end, just said concisely.

How could Xie Ke not understand this truth.

Just for now......

"At present, there are too many things that young grandmothers are worried about, and it is difficult to calm down and recuperate. Just for the good of you. Young grandmothers have to be relaxed. Lin Changyuan's words are all here.

As for whether his young grandmother listens or not, it's not up to him to manage. However, he believed that Xie Ke would listen.

Because she has always been a girl who knows the general and knows how to advance and retreat.

It is a perseverance who can achieve great things, but can endure what others can't endure and can endure what others can't. Xie Ke nodded, smart people don't have to say it so clearly. It was a cold opening from Rui on the side. "Mr. Lin said it easily, the second master is now in the north, and he doesn't know what the situation is. How can the young grandmother not be concerned? Lin Changyuan smiled generously, not minding Cong Rui's little temper.

In his opinion. Cong Rui is the protector of the heart.

"That being said. But the young grandmother is anxious, and it is not beneficial to the second master. ”

“…… You are such a strong person. Cong Rui rarely suffered a loss in her mouth, but Lin Changyuan's words left her speechless to say.

"Alright. Mr. Lin's words are not bad. It's you, girl. The temper is always so impatient. It's good if you meet a character like He Zhang. I won't have the same knowledge as you, and if I meet others, I will have to suffer some losses. "She's used to taking Cong Rui with her. actually likes Cong Rui's upright temperament, but this girl is not too young, and she should also plan for Cong Rui. In Xie Ke's opinion, Lin Changyuan is actually a good candidate.

Born in cloth, but has real skills.

And he is a cold on the outside and hot on the inside, he doesn't talk much, but he hits the nail on the head.

It is very complementary to Cong Rui's temperament.

It's just that this kind of thing still has to be willing for Cong Rui, so in front of Lin Changyuan, Xie Ke nodded Cong Rui.

Just looking at Cong Rui's arrogant appearance, he didn't seem to care. Xie Ke also put his mind away, and the top priority at the moment was the matter of the northern border. It's just that this northern border is far away from here, but it is not possible to receive news in a moment.

So what Lin Changyuan said is not wrong.

It's useless for her to be anxious, so it's better to put her mind down and recuperate.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your advice." Lin Changyuan hurriedly replied, not daring to be a lady, thank you.

Instructed Cong Rui to send Lin Changyuan out, Xie Ke sighed lightly, half-leaning to think about whether there were any loopholes in his arrangement. After Cong Rui came back, she saw that her girl was still frowning, and a pair of small hands were unconsciously grasping the brocade quilt on her body, but it was a picture of racking her brains and trying her best.

Cong Rui sighed lightly.

She is not stupid, how can she not know that Lin Changyuan's words are right.

It's just that......

She had been with her for eight years. When she first served the fourth grandmother, she often saw the expression of her own girl at this time in the fourth grandmother.

In the end, the fourth grandmother died early.

She didn't want her girl to follow in her mother's footsteps. So just now, I deliberately looked for Lin Changyuan's bad luck, in order not to let my girl think about it too much, but it didn't seem to be of much use.

Second Master Qi didn't send back the news for a day. My own girl will not really put her mind at ease.

"Young grandma, let's go to bed early, maybe I'll wake up, the news of the second master has come." Cong Rui stepped forward and smiled and tucked the quilt for Xie Ke.

Xie Ke nodded.

She was really tired, even if it was still early, her whole body was too lazy to move...... Cong Rui was guarding on the side, pulling the brocade quilt on Xie Ke's body from time to time, and after a while, Xie Ke fell asleep in a daze.

This sleep is a whole * night.

It wasn't until the next afternoon that she opened her eyes...... Cong Rui was greeted with a worried gaze. "Young grandma, you're finally awake. Mr. Lin said that the young grandmother was not very tired, so she couldn't wake up. Grandma slept so heavily that the slaves were frightened.

Escort He also came. It's just inconvenient to get into the house. Half an hour ago, Brother Jin came. He Huwei was assured by Mr. Lin that the young grandmother was fine, so he went to the study to see Brother Jin. ”

Xie Ke struggled to get up, and Cong Rui hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

Fatigue and lightheadedness. However, Xie Ke felt that his spirit was okay.

then instructed Cong Rui to freshen up and change her clothes.

Cheng Jin is here at this time, which is not a good thing. Is there something going on?

After a few mouthfuls of breakfast, Xie Ke hurriedly went to the study to see Cheng Jin. When Xie Ke rushed to the study, he saw that He Zhang and Cheng Jin in the study had very gloomy expressions on their faces. Xie Ke's heart tightened at the moment...... It's just that she understands that no matter what happens, she is their backbone.

Qi Lu is not here, she has to dominate the overall situation.

So she was very calm, and she walked to the main seat and sat down without hurry. Only then did he speak lightly. "Brother Jin, what's going on?"

Perhaps it was Xie Ke's calmness that infected He Zhang and Cheng Jin.

In short, the expressions on the faces of the two were calmer.

Then Cheng Jin first knelt on the ground, and then said in a dumb voice. “…… Young grandmother, subordinates are not good. The third batch of grain was transported to the north through Hele Town...... He was robbed thirty miles from Clutch last night.

It's 12,000 stones. ”

What the? Xie Ke was shocked. The routes used to transport grain are very secretive.

What's more, now that the disaster report has not spread, who will go to war to grab food.

There are countless caravans coming and going on the post road every day, and the grain team is not conspicuous, compared to those who have transported silk, tea, and sea salt, the grain is really difficult to transport and is not worth a few silver, how could there be such an accident.

Although in a hurry. can see that Cheng Jin's eyes in front of him are bloodshot. Apparently I haven't slept in a long time. When this happens, he will naturally try his best to find it, but now that he has come to the door, he means that he can't find it. “…… Get up first. Big man. What kind of system is this?

Moreover, the man has gold under his knees. Kneel to the sky and kneel to the father.

It's a big thing happening. Isn't there still me? What's the hurry? Besides, the sky won't fall...... Let's get into the details. Cheng Jin nodded and wiped his reddened eyes with his sleeve. Then he briefly explained the matter.

This batch of grain was purchased from several large towns around the capital.

Xie Ke's plan was to transport grain to the north before the news of the disaster returned to the capital......

If the news of the spread of the disaster spreads back to the capital. I'm afraid that such a large amount of grain will attract people's attention.

If Xie Ke expected it to be correct, the disaster situation would be reported by the officials below until the end of the year. After all, the end of the year is approaching, and this is naturally the time to report good news and not bad news......

So they still have more than half a month to go. It is enough to transport grain out of the capital and then transport it to the north in batches from different directions in Hele Town. If the time is calculated correctly, it should be able to reach the north in a month, and the first grain Xie Ke purchased has already arrived in the north, and the second batch is not far from the north at this time.

With the two batches before and after, this third batch does not need to be rushed.

After all, when this batch of grain arrived in the north, Great Wei happened to have a large-scale disaster...... Therefore, this third batch of grain is handled with extra care.

And this third batch of grain is indeed the key to ensuring whether Qi Lu can successfully pacify the people in the north. Therefore, Xie Ke has carefully studied which way to go, how to simplify the complex, and even how to cover up and how to avoid the mountain bandits and bandits he may encounter.

Even He Zhang and Cheng Jin felt that Xie Ke was too careful.

After all, it's the end of the year.

How many merchants come and go, a small grain caravan is really not eye-catching.

As for the journey from the capital to Hele Town, there were no bandits, and no caravan reported that they had lost their goods here.

It was a flawless line, but it eventually went wrong.

The grain convoy is thirty miles away from Hele Town, and there is no accident. At the latest, they should have arrived in Hele Town yesterday evening, but there was no news until the gates were closed. Cheng Jin stayed awake all night for this, and only opened the city gate today, so he hurriedly went out of the city to check.

I happened to encounter a few guards who escaped by chance.

It is said that after noon yesterday, a group of masked men in black suddenly surrounded the convoy, and the other party did not negotiate with the convoy. When they come up, they slash and slash and kill.

Except for a few guards who were lucky enough to survive.

The remaining 100 guards were killed on the spot.

When the guards woke up, they saw the corpses of their companions strewn all over them, and none of the wagons loaded with food were gone.

They looked around, but found ruts in all directions...... Several people were injured, and the horses were gone, so after discussing for a while, they decided to report to Lezhen, and happened to meet Cheng Jin on the way.

Cheng Jin quickly rushed to the place where the robbery was robbed and found that it was indeed as the guards said.

The direction of the rut is both southeast and northwest. Because the grain was being transported, the rut marks were obvious...... Cheng Jin sent people to investigate in four directions. After more than ten miles of reported news, the rut marks disappeared.

More than 10,000 stone grains, nowhere to be found.

“…… Dereliction of duty on the part of subordinates. But the subordinates wanted to break their heads, and they didn't know how the rut marks would disappear? The cart was not filled with cotton, but with grain. And why did Qi Qi disappear after about ten miles...... Young grandmother, her subordinates are really confused and have no clue......"
