Chapter 433: Surrounded by Man
The carriage drove forward slowly, the further south, the fewer plains, the more mountains, obviously had reached the border of Jiangnan, but the speed of the group slowed down.
The mountain road is bumpy, and there are hanging bottles made of porcelain on the carriage, although they are padded with cloth, and the plains are okay, but the rugged mountain road is not too tossed. Of course, there is another reason, that is, Lin'an is about to arrive, once you arrive at the place, you will immediately enter the "battle", if this will be in a hurry, in case the body is boiled down, when you get to the place, you will be infected with the epidemic and it will be troublesome.
Even so, there were still a few guards who were sick because of the water and soil, but fortunately, Liu Rong prepared some medicines for the treatment of lesions caused by dampness and heat in the morning, and none of these people had anything serious, but they also fell behind because of such a thing.
Unconsciously, the group arrived at Lianshan, according to the locals who led the way, as long as they crossed Lianshan, they could reach Lin'an after walking for half a day.
But Lianshan also has a big problem, that is, the road is winding, the trees are dense, and there will be wild beasts from time to time, which is not too safe, but this road is also the closest road to Lin'an, and the other roads basically have to go around for another three days.
Centurion Tang looked at the trees around the mountain road and the winding path in front of him, and his brows couldn't help but furrow, such a position was the most suitable for raids and ambushes.
Although it is in the territory of Great Xia, it will not be a big danger, but it is not good in case of an accident, especially when you are about to arrive in Lin'an.
Thinking so, Centurion Tang couldn't help but shout to the guards behind him: "It's okay for everyone to slow down, but don't let your guard down. You must know that the mountain forest like Ludao is the most dangerous, because the shadows of the trees overlap, everyone's vision will be affected, and it is likely that even if there are bandits hiding, we will not be able to find it immediately. ”
Centurion Tang paused slightly when he shouted to everyone: "We are almost in Lin'an now, if there is a problem when we are about to arrive in Lin'an, it will be a capsized boat in the gutter." When the time comes, you will be in Lin'an, but you will be embarrassed in front of those guards in Lin'an City! ”
"Do you want to be embarrassed?"
"I don't want to!" The guards shouted, and as they shouted, they followed the spirit.
This kind of dialogue was repeated several times along the way, but each time it always made the atmosphere of the whole team much better, and people from the north always couldn't stand the humidity and heat of the south when they went to the south. Even though the guards are in good health. There are still a few sick people, but this kind of dialogue makes these soldiers energetic at the same time, and also reminds them of their respective tasks in their hearts from time to time, which makes everyone more excited.
Zuo Tingyu, who was following Liu Rong's carriage, looked at Centurion Tang and instantly mobilized the emotions of the guards. A wave of admiration rose in his eyes. This will be on the way to the guardians. It is very rare to train the soldiers, and there may not be a few in the entire Great Xia, I really don't know how Liu Rong can pick up one at will. can still pick up such a talent, which really makes him envious and jealous of Hongguoguo.
Forget it, such a blessing can't be envied, but fortunately he is not a general, otherwise he will really grit his teeth and hate it.
Thinking about it, Zuo Tingyu withdrew his gaze from Centurion Tang, but looked at Ling, the palace maid who was riding a horse but not going to take the carriage, and saw that the other party was still indifferent all the way, and couldn't help but speak: "Lingyu, don't always have a cold face, say a few words to me, if you don't speak, your mouth will be moldy." ”
Lingyu glanced at Zuo Tingyu coldly, and continued to control the horse forward, except for the crown prince, she has always rarely pretended to others.
Zuo Tingyu couldn't help but touch his nose when he was glanced at by the palace maid Lingyu, but he recovered after a while, and couldn't help but speak to Lingyu: "Lingyu, why do you say that Princess Rong is so powerful, just leave a follower, they are all people who can manage a team properly, and they are definitely a figure in the army, and this vision is probably unmatched in the entire Great Xia." ”
Lingyu was slightly stunned, probably thinking of the prince, and it was a rare opening: "Are you tempted?" ”
As soon as he heard Lingyu's answer, Zuo Tingyu couldn't help but be excited, since he found out that he couldn't pull Liu Rong to speak, but he had been trying to open Lingyu's mouth for a long time, this was a rare time to succeed, but after hearing Lingyu's words clearly, he hurriedly shook his head: "Don't hurt me." Princess Rong and the general have made a family decision, and when I heard your words, I didn't have to ask for me with a knife, so I didn't say that I would get married, and I didn't dare to ask for such a powerful woman. ”
Zuo Tingyu couldn't help but take a deep breath as he spoke, looked at the carriage on the side in fear, and said in a rare serious manner: "But not every man has the courage to pursue a woman who makes him lose his brilliance." ”
Lingyu raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her eyes seemed to smile: "Is it really because of this?" ”
Zuo Tingyu couldn't help but look embarrassed, he was indeed a little afraid of Liu Rong.
Lingyu didn't dwell on this matter, but looked at Zuo Tingyu and spoke again: "If you have a chance to get Princess Rong, you will also give up?" ”
As soon as Lingyu's words came out, the guards who followed them couldn't help but prick up their ears and eavesdrop, wondering how the second son of the Weibei Hou Mansion, who talked about children on weekdays, would answer.
"Nonsense! If you have the chance, it would be foolish to give up! ”
The footsteps of the guards who followed nearby were so messy that they almost made the people who followed behind step on their heels.
"Boring." Lingyu directly stopped paying attention to Zuo Tingyu.
"Poof!" Liu Rong heard the conversation outside and laughed, how boring Zuo Tingyu has to be to catch these things. Thinking about it, Liu Rong couldn't help but roll her eyes and gave a few orders to Dong'er, Dong'er couldn't help but smile when she heard Liu Rong's words, nodded and went out to order.
I have to say that Zuo Tingxuan's cousin looks good at first glance, and he will be exposed after getting along for a long time, this guy is just a chatter at all, and he is not idle to listen to her and Ergou Zhen'er in the carriage with his ears, or he keeps talking to Lingyu, the palace maid. If it weren't for Liu Rong's busy treating people, it is estimated that she would be bombarded with fatigue like Lingyu.
However, it feels really good to see that every time Zuo Tingyu talks to Lingyu, he is deeply humiliated and returns in the end, at least the tension on the road of the group has been eliminated a lot, you must know that although Liu Rong has been in the car on the road, there are also times when she gets off the carriage and passes by those villages. The sights were all horrible.
Not to mention that all the farms were empty, but there were very few people who continued to live, all of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and asked those young and strong people whether they had gone to escape the plague or were dead. And the grain, naturally, was mostly taken away.
The scope of cholera this time is really widespread, and it is estimated that they were all infected by refugees who went north to Beijing, but all that can be done now is to stay for a while and help a little. Or save some food.
But later, Liu Rong and his party didn't even leave the village. There is no way, if the food continues to be divided like this, I am afraid that this group of people will not be enough.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a wail outside. Don't think about it. It was Zuo Tingyu's voice.
The second dog heard Zuo Tingyu's wail. The catalog was surprised: "Master, what did you ask Sister Dong'er to do?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that the second young master is too idle. Let him go and change the coachman who drove the carriage loaded with porcelain, so that the people could be more relaxed. ”
Ergou almost didn't laugh out loud, but he still remembered that the first time the second young master Zuo was sent by his own master to drive a carriage, it was not long after the group left Haijin Town, because he heard on the road that a village in front of him had many sick people and needed a doctor, the second young master Zuo couldn't help but be anxious about this matter.
However, because of safety problems, the coachman did not dare to let the carriage go too fast, so the second young master Zuo was angry, not only disgusted that the carriage was too slow and could not go faster, but also asked the coachman to get off the carriage directly and change himself.
The coachman did not dare to refute, so he had to give up his position.
This is a good thing and a good idea, all for the people to be anxious, but it turned out to be wrong.
As a result, as soon as the second young master on the left got into the carriage, the carriage never listened to the control. There were a lot of problems along the way, but some trips were delayed.
Don't look at the simplicity of riding a single horse, but it is much more difficult to drive a carriage with several horses.
Later, the master knew about this matter, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was angry about, not only punished the coachman who gave up his position, but also got an empty carriage, and deceived the second young master Zuo to take the bait, and forced the second young master to be a coachman for a day, but the pain was enough.
He clearly remembered that the master did these things at that time, and said a word to the coachman, which made him extremely impressed.
It seems that the coachman explained there, explaining that he thought it was an irrelevant thing to let go of the carriage, that he was just a small person as a coachman, and that this matter was just a small matter, and that her master should not be so angry and punish people like this.
Of course, this coachman would open his mouth like this, and it was also because he was from the Weibei Hou Mansion, and he saw that Zuo Tingyu was cleaned up.
At that time, the master's face was not good, but it was even worse, and he spoke directly and seriously.
There is no unimportant thing in this world, only an attitude of not paying attention, never feel that your position is not important, and do small things and do not pay attention to others to do, because it is likely that you alone will delay the progress of the whole team.
Although he didn't say anything specifically, the coachman was ashamed.
However, because of this incident, everyone's attitude towards doing things is more serious, and there has never been a situation where someone does not do their own work, but does someone else's thing.
Along the way, everyone did their own things, and the efficiency was much higher, that is, those who followed this team later, did not know how to use medical skills, but only used to cooperate with the doctors brought by the capital, and the trained nurses seemed to be called this, and those nurses were also extremely serious.
Thinking of this, Ergou couldn't help but worship his master even more, and he didn't dare to say anything else, there was absolutely no woman in this world who was more powerful than her master.
The pillow on the side heard Liu Rong's answer, and thought of his second uncle's pitiful appearance, and couldn't help laughing, but this child was used to being arrogant, even if he thought it was funny, he was forced to hold back his smile, but after a while, his face became a little stiff again.
Because Liu Rong only cared about talking to Ergou, after answering this matter, she actually began to teach Ergou, and carefully instructed some things, and had no intention of talking to him at all.
Of course, Liu Rong and Ergou are talking about things related to the plague.
Even so, Pillow was not happy.
Although Zhilu Dao went to Jiangnan this time to deal with the plague, every time he followed Liu Rong, no matter what it was, there were a lot of interesting things, so before he came out, he thought that although it was hard this time, there would still be some interesting things, after all, it was very interesting to follow Liu Rong every time, but this time along the way, Liu Rong didn't talk much, and what made him angry the most was that Liu Rong would rather talk to Ergou than talk to him.
Thinking like this, Pillow couldn't help but look at Liu Rong with a blank look, hoping that Liu Rong would look at herself, but time passed little by little, Liu Rong didn't even look at him, and Pillow couldn't help but fall her shoulders in frustration.
"Liu Rong." Finally, Pillow couldn't help but speak to Liu Rong and interrupted Liu Rong.
Liu Rong raised her eyebrows and looked at the pillow.
"I'm hungry!"
Seeing Liu Rong looking at herself, Pillow instantly became excited, but she couldn't think of anything good to say to Liu Rong for a while, so she had to say that she was hungry, but even if she said such a thing, Pillow still looked like a proud rooster on her face, and after speaking, she seemed to be waiting for Liu Rong to serve herself, but unfortunately her eyes would aim at Liu Rong from time to time when she spoke.
Liu Rong was slightly stunned, this is not like what a tsundere child would say, and then took the pillow's movements into her eyes, looking at the pillow's tsundere's appearance, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart.
This child is really the same as before, it hasn't changed at all, thinking like this, the corners of Liu Rong's eyes hooked slightly, and she couldn't help but bully the bear child: "Didn't you just eat it just now?" Bear with it. ”
"Young Master Ben saw that you were pitiful when you went to Jiangnan alone, and he was worried that you would cry when you went to Jiangnan alone, so he reluctantly came to accompany you!" When Pillow heard Liu Rong's words, her little face was tangled, and her face was full of angry accusations: "You actually treat me like this!" ”
As soon as Pillow's words came out, Dong'er and Ergou, who had already returned, laughed directly.
Liu Rong was speechless, turned her head to read the medical book, and decided to ignore the child.
Seeing that Liu Rong ignored herself, Pillow Er inked alone for a while, and couldn't help but get close to Liu Rong and talk to Liu Rong in various ways, seeing that Liu Rong still ignored herself, she immediately turned into a flattering look, like a little adult coaxing people, making Liu Rong happy, that look funny.
Just when Liu Rong felt that if she let the pillow toss like this, her majesty would not be maintained, and she might be embarrassed, and she was finally about to speak, when the carriage suddenly stopped, and several people's bodies couldn't help but lean forward quickly.
Liu Rong frowned, what happened outside? The coachman who drove the carriage has always been very stable, and there has never been such a situation along the way, is there something wrong?
Liu Rong couldn't help but lift the curtain when she thought about it, but when she looked at the situation outside the curtain, Liu Rong's face changed instantly.
I saw that around their group, they didn't know when they were surrounded by a group of people. (To be continued......)
