A few people reined in their horses and looked at each other, could it be that this was arranged by Wu County's order?

Song Yunfei rode his horse to Nie Shuyao's side and said, "Shuyao, Da Niu won't be sent by Wu County Order to protect you, right?" Otherwise, I'll send Xiaoqing to you too. ”

Song Qing's face immediately changed, "Young Master, I'll ......." ”

"What am I? Let you protect Shu Yao cheaply for you. Song Yunfei said dissatisfied.

Nie Shuyao interrupted him, shook his head, and said, "No need. You go back to Beijing quickly, or we will separate here, there will be a period later, and I won't send it. ”

"Shu Yao!" When Song Yunfei heard this, he immediately became a bitter gourd face.

"Well, really." Nie Shuyao pursed her lips and didn't reply.

Just when the stalemate was deadlocked, Da Niu finally caught up, wiped the sweat on his face, and said with a smile: "Sister Shuyao, I can be regarded as catching up with you." ”

Nie Shuyao frowned and asked, "Brother Da Niu, why are you here?" ”

There was some helplessness in her tone, she knew that Da Niu could come except for some purpose of taking the county master, there should be nothing else.

"Hey, hey!" Da Niu laughed and showed his white teeth, "The county master asked me to come." ”

"I knew it was so." Nie Shuyao muttered.

Da Niu said embarrassedly: "Our county master is not worried about you and Tianxi, so he sent me to follow you all the way to protect you." Of course, there are more important things to show you. “

As he spoke, he took out a few road guides from his arms and said, "It's a long way to go to Yangzhou, and it can't be reached in a day or two." This guide is also very important, and it won't work without this. ”

Nie Shuyao forgot again, in ancient times, especially in the Ming Dynasty, there was no way to get out of the place where he was born. This thing is equivalent to a modern ID card, and with him can he walk the world openly.

However, she glanced at the carriage with slanted eyes, and she didn't know if Jiang Yi and the others were going to use this thing when they walked the rivers and lakes?

"Sister Shu Yao, let me follow. Maybe I can help you a lot! Da Niu said again.

Nie Shuyao knew from the moment she saw him that Wu County's request was difficult to refuse, and she would not be embarrassed, so she responded with a smile.

In this way, there is one more horse on the way.

There are more than 700 miles of road from Xuzhou to Yangzhou, if you don't rush with an ordinary carriage, you can travel at most forty or fifty miles a day, not to mention factors such as rainy days, and it is very fast to walk for more than half a month. Under normal circumstances, it would take a month for their group of people to arrive in Yangzhou.

Before leaving, Steward Xu pulled Nie Shuyao and told them the road map when they came, such a long distance is not a flat river, there are mountains and lakes, and what makes people unwilling to face is that some places are not peaceful.

Because of this, when Xu Guangfa went out on a certain outing, he encountered several robbers, and it was Ding Dazhuang who rescued them. Xu Guangfa accepted Ding Dazhuang at this time, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness.

But Ding Dazhuang can endure it, and it took more than half a year to gain their trust, and this time he only showed his feet when he came to Xuzhou Mansion to do business.

Steward Xu instructed Nie Shuyao and instructed again, it doesn't matter if we go back to Yangzhou later, but we have to take the main road, which is the official road, and stay in the dark to control the danger to the minimum.

Nie Shuyao happily accepted, she came out to do business and play, and she could get less trouble.

At this time, all the people who went to Yangzhou had gathered, and she was the first to gallop wildly.

In her bones, she is not a lady or a lady, compared to these, a female man is more suitable for her inside. But under the education of Nie's stick, the image of a lady has penetrated into all aspects of life and has become a habit. So judging from her appearance, Nie Shuyao is a standard lady.

Fortunately, there were no pedestrians on the road in the early morning, and she stopped this crazy behavior after running wildly for a while, but it was already enjoyable for her.

This wild run left the four-wheeled carriage far behind, and it was Song Yunfei who chased the hardest. He grinned and enjoyed the unrestrained run.

Nie Shuyao turned around and smiled at him, "You still don't turn around?" ”

Song Yunfei immediately put away his smile and said, "Shu Yao, let's not ride a horse like this in front of people in the future, okay?" You are a girl's family, and you should sit in a comfortable carriage. ”

Nie Shuyao pouted and said, "I want you to take care of it." ”

"Shu Yao, shall I send you to Yangzhou?" Song Yunfei still didn't want to leave.

"Let's go. You sent me to Yangzhou, your mother's birthday is over? Do you want me to be scolded by some people again? Some of the people she said were naturally Song Yunfei's family.

Last year, she attracted the eyes of others because of a letter, and if she was sent to Yangzhou this year, she might be rumored to be something? She didn't want to be a curse on someone's lips.

Song Yunfei looked at this wide official road and was in a low mood. After such a delay, the people behind also followed.

Nie Tianxi knew his thoughts, but the mood of going to Yangzhou was greater than the friendship between friends, and smiled at him: "Brother Song, let's go, otherwise you won't be able to reach the post station tonight." ”

Song Yunfei said: "If you can't get there, you can't get there." Isn't there a sleeping bag invented by Shu Yao? In the wild, you can just do it. What are the old men afraid of! ”

When he said this, Leng Zi also nodded in agreement.

This sleeping bag is a good thing, it doesn't take up space at all when it's not in use, and you can sleep on a clean place at night, and you're not afraid of anything. If there is a big tree, it can be hung on the tree to sleep.

But Song Qing didn't, and also persuaded: "Nie Gongzi didn't sleep, young master, let's go quickly." ”

Song Yunfei glared at him coldly and said, "As long as you are troublesome, I won't buy you a sleeping bag." ”

Turning his head to Nie Shuyao, he whispered, "Shuyao promised me that I would leave." ”

Nie Shuyao pouted and said, "You have a lot to do!" ”

"Hey, stop riding. Let's take a car, such a comfortable carriage can't be cheap Jiang Yi's guy! After Song Yunfei finished speaking, he said solemnly: "If you promise me, I will leave." ”

Nie Shuyao pouted and got off the horse, and at this time several carriages also arrived, and she said as she walked: "Let's go, be careful on the road." ”

Song Yunfei immediately smiled, "You must stay in Yangzhou for a few more days, and wait for me to go to Xu's Commercial Bank to find you." Drive! ”

He simply turned his horse's head and galloped in the opposite direction. Today, Song Yunfei wore a black dark brocade shirt, dressed up very neatly, rode a jujube red horse, and ran far away in a blink of an eye.

Song Qing and Leng Zi hurriedly said goodbye to everyone, and quickly followed. Both of them were dressed in green clothes and followed behind Song Yunfei, and they looked like followers.

It wasn't until he couldn't see their shadows that Nie Shuyao switched places with Jiang Yi and entered the spacious carriage to rest.

According to the plan, they had to stay at the post station thirty miles away today, and it was still early in the morning, so the carriage did not go fast. There were three people in front of him to explore the way, and the big carriage just walked in a step-by-step manner on the road.

The first car was Nie Shuyao's carriage, followed by the carriage where Steward Xu and the chief steward sent by the Jiang family sat together, followed by a cart of goods, and finally Nie Tianxi's carriage.

The group walked forward in a majestic manner, and as the sun rose, more and more people on the official road paid attention to their cars.

These are all four-wheeled carriages, and the cart that pulls goods has two horses and two chasers, all of whom are trustworthy people of the Jiang family.

The Jiang family is also very interested in this trip to Yangzhou, they want to make their business bigger, and Yangzhou is the first stop. The chief steward who sat in a car with Steward Xu went to investigate.

At noon, everyone stopped on the side of the road to eat.

The superiority of the four-wheeled carriage is only then revealed, and the various facilities that come with it are simply a mobile kitchen, with tables, chairs, benches, cups, bowls and chopsticks.

It was not obvious from the appearance that a carriage could carry so many things, and when everyone had eaten and drunk enough and cleaned up, the carriage was still like that, and it did not look bloated at all.

Nie Shuyao accepted Steward Xu's praise with peace of mind, this is the result of reasonable arrangement, and these tables and chairs and other items are not heavy, and they are exquisitely made, and few people don't like them.

In the evening, they arrived at the inn.

Because I came early, I had to get a few upper rooms. But their carriage and goods still had to be watched, so the three men who drove the carriage spontaneously stayed.

Nie Shuyao didn't say anything, just asked the people at the post station to cook them a delicious meal for the night.

Before coming, everyone brought a full salute, from the change of clothes to the quilt for sleeping, so they didn't worry about the two guys.

Everyone has a small light box, which is a combination of wood and cloth, and it is better to carry valuables with them.

In the evening, Nie Shuyao and a few people came to the lobby of the post station in disguise after dinner to listen to the news.

In such places, the grapevine is the most well-informed. The people who come and go are all from south to north, although most of them don't know each other, but warm a pot of wine, stir-fry two dishes, and drink the topic will be opened.

Nie Shuyao's sister and brother and Yuqin, at this time, they changed their clothes and sat in a corner of the lobby, eating dried fruits and drinking tea to kill time with peace of mind.

For the Nie siblings, this kind of experience is a lot of fun, and they can pass the time and hear novel stories. It doesn't matter if this story is true or not, but it's always new. Even if it's fake, I think the storyteller has a good mouth and a big brain.

Nie Shuyao and Nie Tianxi were both wearing ordinary clothes that were neither new nor old, and their faces were also smeared with a layer of light oil paint, making their skin slightly dark. At first glance, they were like brothers from a well-off family, and so was Yuqin, who was pretending to be a stupid little girl at this time, and would only add tea and pour water.

The person listening to the story is a man with a black face, and his clothes are not new, like a trader in a small business.

It was an old man with a goatee who spoke, and his eyes were dripping, very shrewd. At this time, he was enjoying the envy of the black-faced man.

"It is said that there are two thousand-year-old locust trees in Nahuashu Village, both of which have become fine. No one in the village dares to do anything to the old locust tree, if someone asks the old locust tree for something, as long as the heart is sincere, it can basically be done. ”

One of the black-faced men said, "Is it really so spiritual? Then I'll have to give it a try. ”

Another laughed and said, "What do you look like? Don't you just want a son? If you can't go anywhere, you have to go to the locust tree village that doesn't know whether it's true or not. Tell the story, don't take it seriously. ”

The last of the three shook his head and said, "Boss Liu, you can't say that." Although Brother Nian said it was a bit mysterious, there were some things that he really couldn't explain. There are gods in the head, let's listen to it. ”

The first black-faced man also said: "Third Brother Xu is right, big brother, just listen to it." It's not for you to go to Locust Tree Village. ”

"Haha, Liu Lao Er is fast-talking, he is a refreshing person. In my opinion, it's okay not to go to this locust tree village. The old man laughed.

"Why?" The three of them asked in unison.

Nie Shuyao's sister and brother also looked at the old man with the surname Nian curiously, why? R1152
