Chapter 48: Asking for Meeting

The water source flows out of the southern foot of Dabie Mountain, almost runs through the entire territory of the Anfeng Army, and finally flows into the Huaishui, if you count the Anhui water that almost flows out of the same place and finally flows into the river, this line is almost the best channel to communicate with the Jianghuai, but unfortunately it is blocked by the tall mountain range.

Anfeng army has a total of four counties, along the border three counties Huoqiu, Anfeng, Shouchun constitute a border fortress, leaning on the Dabie Mountain of Lu'an County has become a big rear, from the official road leading to Lu'an County where the military is located, from time to time you can see some people leading their own farming cattle, dragging a tattered wooden cart, carrying the old and young who are inconvenient to travel, as well as the belongings that are reluctant to discard, slowly drive over from the official road, emitting a very rich sense of rhythm. The sound of squeaking, occasionally mixed with the noise of children fighting and adults shouting and scolding.

"It's too slow." Li Shiyi rode a northland horse, silently looking at this qiē on the side of the road, according to his mental calculation, within an hour, there are less than 100 households passing by this road, and there are more than 50,000 households in the three counties along the border, when will it be cleared up like this? He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

He returned to the Song realm with people three days ago, directly from the river crossed by Yingzhou on the opposite side of Huaishui, and observed the defense along the border by the way, but of course he was very disappointed, there was almost no fortification in this area of Huaixi, because they saw that the Yuan people on the opposite side were also the same, but who knew that the army of the Yuan people was gathered behind, and it was only two or three days away from here.

Disappointment to disappointment, this kind of thing is not his turn to worry about a mere Jiupin Chengxinlang, the reason why he appeared here, in addition to the fact that this route is the nearest return, there is a more important reason, and this matter has also been deliberately instructed by the waiter for a long time.

"Shopkeeper, the man is back." As soon as they entered the Song Realm, they changed into the color of the forbidden army, but their subordinates were still used to calling him by the name of the Northland, and over time it became a commonly used title, and official titles such as 'Dutou' had not been heard for a long time.

Li Shiyi looked back, it was from the direction of Shouchun, a swarthy man rode a fast horse, galloped towards this side, and did not slow down until he was in front of him.

"We don't have to go to Luzhou, I met that Li Zhishuai in the city, and the news was notified to him, looking at his appearance, he should be touched, maybe he has gone back at this moment." This person was the man who appeared in the military office of Shouchun City before, and he gasped and told the things one by one.

"Where's Chen Wan?" Li Shiyi didn't seem to pay attention to the matter in Luzhou, and only nodded when he heard it, he was more concerned about how the unruly side would react.

"That's it." The man spat on the horse, shook his head and continued: "I couldn't find him inside and outside the city, and then I bought off one of his personal soldiers with money, and I was told to run to a village outside the city.

"Don't talk nonsense, did you pass it over?" Li Shiyi listened to him for a long time and couldn't get the point, and couldn't help but interrupt him, if this person wasn't from the same background as himself, he would have been reprimanded a long time ago.

"That's it." The man glanced at him indifferently before telling the truth: "Later, a person in charge came out of Zhuangzi, saying that the guy was talking secretly with the master of the Xia Mansion, and he couldn't spare time for a while. ”

"Xia Mansion, which Xia Mansion?" Li Shiyi sensitively noticed what he was referring to.

"Isn't it just that we were last time" The man didn't finish speaking, but made a gesture covertly, Li Shiyi remembered that it was his family, this person's house is the largest landlord in the local area, and it can naturally affect the people's stay, Chen Wan's trip is mostly to persuade them, but Li Shiyi is not optimistic about the result, because no one will give up such a big industry, just because of a warning, but if the war comes, it will be too late to leave.

How can he take care of the affairs of this family, the same confusion is still ahead, there is still nearly an hour of road from here to Lu'an County, and it can't be delayed any longer, the matter has been notified to him, and it is not up to him to decide whether to listen or not, Li Shiyi greeted him on the horse, turned the horse's head with his subordinates, and galloped away in the direction of Lu'an County.

A village more than 30 miles away from Lu'an County, surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by Longxue Mountain, the water flows crosswise, a paradise scene with beautiful mountains and rivers, a new cemetery at the foot of the mountain, there is a tall stone gate in front of the brick and stone road in front of the tomb, and the four words "Zhongshao Qianqiu" are inscribed on the door.

"Bring the incense."

There were still more than a dozen steps away from the road, Li Shiyi took the lead in stopping the horse, tied the mount to a cypress tree beside the road, took a package under his hand, which was a bundle of agarwood, took it out and untied the straw rope tied to it, Li Shiyi distributed the incense one by one, and then led people towards the door.

"Taifu, my subordinates have brought my brothers to see you, if you have a spirit in the sky, then bless these people from being bullied by the Tartars, follow so-and-so, worship!" Li Shiyi and his men went to the tomb, lined up in a zigzag, he lit the incense in his hand first, landed on one knee, gave a military salute first, and then stood up together and began to salute.

"You have a heart, a certain generation of mothers have thanked you." Hearing the movement, Wang Lin, who came out of the house, returned them a filial gift.

"Subordinate Li Shiyi has seen Da Lang."

The owner of the tomb is naturally Wang Lixin, who died of illness in Jiankang City, and Li Shiyi and they made a special trip here not to give him incense. The southern invasion of the Yuan people is imminent, the Anfeng army bears the brunt, after seeing the garrison of the border generals, he has no hope for the fall of this place, the servant system has been specially explained to him a long time ago, once the news is confirmed, he must ensure the safe evacuation of the Wang family, this is Liu Yu's responsibility, of course, it is his responsibility.

Tell Wang Lin the truth of the matter, but the latter has a difficult face, it turns out that in the past half a year, Mrs. Wang has been sick in bed, all relying on the potion to hang, now this situation, let alone on the road, even standing is a very difficult thing. What makes Wang Lin even more embarrassed is that even if the old lady is healthy, she will definitely not abandon her husband and leave, if she doesn't leave, it will be impossible for Wang's mansion to leave, and the final result is that Wang Lin can only refuse their kindness.

"Can you let someone see the old lady?" Li Shiyi thought about it for a while, and put forward a request, the service system was ordered to die at that time, which means that if there are conditions, there are no conditions to create zào conditions, and of course you can't use force against the people of Wangfu, but if it comes to the time of everything, he will never give up.

Wang Lin nodded and took him into a village not far away, because it was an outsider, the Wang family was not much in this village, except for Wang Lixin's family, there was no one else, but because of his position in front of him, Wang's Mansion was the highest in the entire Lu'an County, and it was only second to the Xia Mansion that was posthumously crowned the king of the county.

originally thought that his mother would not see anyone when she was seriously ill, but when Wang Lin said that he was his father's old department and came to worship on the order of Liu Yu, Mrs. Wang unexpectedly agreed to see him, and ordered someone to dress up for herself, so as not to be so rude.

"Subordinate Li Shiyi, I have seen the old lady, Mrs. Wan'an." Li Shiyi bowed in a proper manner.

Of course, Old Madam Wang would not recognize him, but she still kindly asked him to raise his head and take a look, Li Shiyi looked at the other party at the same time, even if he didn't understand medical skills, he could see that this kind old man had a short life, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

"You said Brother Yu sent you, where is he now?"

In fact, Liu Yu's wife only has a few fates, one is to meet at the family banquet in Wang's mansion when she left Beijing, and the other is to welcome her arrival as a landlord in Jiankang City, but the old lady still has a deep impression of the young and handsome talent in her husband's mouth, so she will make an exception to meet his subordinates.

"Back to the old lady, our servant was sent as a messenger by the imperial court to negotiate peace with the Yuan people, but he was killed by a traitor, and his life and death are unknown, and his subordinates came to meet the old lady on his orders, and wanted to ask the old lady to leave here with her family."

"Yuanren is coming?" Shocked by the news he brought, the old lady sighed, and immediately realized the reason why he had come to see her.

"Don't dare to hide it from the old lady, it's true." Li Shi nodded in response.

"The old body can't walk, and Dalang can't walk, you must be very embarrassed." As soon as these words came out, Wang Lin was shocked and bowed down.

"The son has to guard his mother, and he will not go anywhere, and if the Tartar calls, the jade will be burned, and he will never humiliate the family."

"Silly, after the Wang family is gone, what kind of face do you let the old man have to see your father underground?" The old lady touched his bun and shook her head to stop him from talking, "You all stand down, the old man wants to talk to this Brother Li." ”

Seeing his mother say this, although Wang Lin was unwilling, he could only stand up and retreat with the serving Yahuan mother-in-law, Li Shiyi saw that he was the only one left in the room, and quickly stepped forward to support the old man, so as not to sit unsteadily.

"You will take them on the road in a few days, how did Brother Yu arrange it, the old man promised you to act as you should, even Da Lang is no exception, God is pitiful, so you have to leave a queen for the Wang family." Li Shiyi was taken aback when he heard her words, it was obvious that he had already sprung up his will to die.

"The subordinates have already thought about it, carry the old lady with a soft sedan chair, and when you arrive in Shucheng, you can get on the boat and go straight to the river, there is a famous doctor in Jiankang Mansion, who has seen the illness for Mrs. Wang that day, and will definitely be able to keep the old lady safe." Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out, the old lady shook her head again and again.

"I know my illness, what can I do if it drags on for ten days and half a month, just stay here with him, the tomb doesn't need to be opened, in fact, if you don't come, I also have this plan, it's rare that Brother Yu is affectionate, he is a benevolent child, God will definitely bless him and he will be fine."

Li Shiyi didn't expect a dying person, and in turn comforted him, he didn't know what to say for a while, but after thinking about it, he still found a reason.

"Not for others, Sister Pheasant has been thinking about the old lady, she has been engaged, just waiting for the old lady to pass, there is an elder on the wedding banquet, she often says that this life is good, you have to meet the old lady as if it has been out, if you can't see you, I don't know what it will be sad to become."

"The kid." The old lady smiled at the thought of the girl, but unfortunately she couldn't go back, she knew very well in her heart that the best result would be to be carried off the boat when she arrived in Jiankang, and then buried somewhere outside the city, in that case, it was better not to leave.

"The old body is tired, let Da Lang take you to rest, remember my words today, and the people in this family will be handed over to you."

Li Shiyi reluctantly bowed and exited the door, he still had a lot to do, and he couldn't delay too much time here, but the waiter's instructions and the old lady's words made him have to listen, until he arrived in the courtyard arranged for them by the Wang family, he couldn't sleep uncertainly, and finally he fell asleep from the fatigue of rushing for days.

"What's wrong?"

The next day, he was woken up by the sound outside, as soon as he pushed the door open, there was a burst of crying outside, Li Shiyi was a little irritable, and asked casually, and when he reacted to what kind of place this was, yesterday's scene appeared in his mind, and he felt "groan" in his heart.

"The old lady hanged herself." One of his subordinates bowed his head and whispered in his ear.
