Chapter 197: Hurry
After setting off from Chang'an, Lu Xiaoxian no longer took it slowly, but hurried desperately unusually.
Set off before dawn every day, and continue to drive for a night when it gets dark, if there is no post station, they will spend the night in the wilderness, and everyone can only sleep for two or three hours. In this case, the dart team has to drive at least one hundred and fifty miles a day, and sometimes even two hundred miles, which has reached the limit.
Before, the dart board and the Yulin army always complained about the slow marching speed, but after the past few days, their sleep was seriously insufficient, their physical strength was extremely overdrawn, and they were miserable, but they missed the comfortable days of the previous days.
At this deadly speed, it only took seven or eight days for the dart team to arrive in Qinzhou. Under Guo Zhen's persuasion, Lu Xiaoxian reluctantly agreed to rest in Qinzhou for a day before setting off.
"Come, come, come! Let's have a good time tonight, we haven't touched the dice for a few days, and we're suffocating to death! ”
After dinner, Lu Xiaoxian reverted to his old self and began to gather everyone to gamble again.
Among the several people, Hate Shui is the oldest, although he also walks outside all the year round, but it is not as hard as this time, after a few days of running, his body is sore, his bones are about to fall apart, he just wants to go to sleep quickly, how can he have the energy to play dice.
Long Zhuang and Hate Shui were in a similar situation, but seeing that Lu Xiaoxian was full of interest, he couldn't open his mouth to refuse.
Chen Xuanli's body can still hold on, but he is in a very bad mood these days. The sergeant Yulin brought with him was dressed in coarse cloth and rode a cart like a slave, and his face was like a group of beggars, and he had long lost his former glory. The dignified Yulin has fallen to such a point, how can he be in a good mood?
Seeing a few people looking at each other and not speaking, Lu Xiaoxian was suddenly unhappy, and shouted in a loud voice: "No one can leave, whoever goes will not give me face!" ”
Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoxian greeted Ouyang Jian again: "Wang Langjun, you are the same, just have fun with me!" ”
Ouyang Jian smiled and agreed: "It's better to be respectful than to obey!" ”
Seeing that Ouyang Jian agreed to Lu Xiaoxian, the rest of the people didn't want to say anything, so they had to accompany Lu Xiaoxian to have fun.
Lu Xiaoxian's luck is as good as ever, and several people have never won in his hands.
After playing for a long time, seeing that everyone was yawning, Lu Xiaoxian lost interest, he stretched his waist and said: "Look at your listless appearance, disperse, disperse, go back and rest!" ”
Everyone stood up as if they had been granted amnesty and said goodbye to Lu Xiaoxian.
Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand at everyone, and then said to Guo Zhen: "Lord Guo, you stay for a while, I have something to discuss with you!" ”
Guo Zhen had no choice but to sit down again.
After everyone left, Lu Xiaoxian and Guo Zhen faced each other, and they didn't know what they were muttering in a low voice.
Suddenly, Lu Xiaoxian's face showed a strange look, he amplified his voice slightly, and said to Guo Zhen: "Lord Guo, you must keep the handwritten letter written by His Majesty to Tubo Zampu, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise you and I will not be able to explain in the future!" ”
Guo Zhen patted his chest and said: "Master Lu, you put a hundred hearts, as long as my old Guo still has a breath, there will be no problems!" ”
"With your Lao Guo's words, I am relieved!" Lu Xiaoxian sighed, "Qinling led his troops to invade the border, and the war between the two countries is imminent, what I am most worried about now is how to avoid the Tibetan army and rush to Luoqi City without knowing it." If you can't see Zampu, how can you complete the mission assigned by Your Majesty? ”
Guo Zhen felt the same way: "This is a difficult problem, but it's useless to think so much now, I can only take a step after arriving in Taozhou!" ”
"May God bless us!" Lu Xiaoxian looked sad, "It's not too early, Lord Guo, you should go back and rest early!" ”
Guo Zhen got up and said to Lu Xiaoxian: "Master Lu, let's rest too, I'm leaving!" ”
Although he said goodbye, Guo Zhen had no intention of leaving, just stood quietly in place, as if waiting for something.
The door creaked open, and Zhang Meng quietly entered the house.
"How?" Lu Xiaoxian asked softly.
"It's the shopkeeper Qiu, he's in front of the window, and he heard your conversation!"
"As I expected!" Lu Xiaoxian nodded, and asked again, "What's the situation with Wang Lin and his wife, is there no movement?" ”
"Not really!" Zhang Meng whispered, "Wang Lin is outside, but he was preempted by the shopkeeper of the enemy, probably because he was afraid of people's attention, so he didn't show up!" ”
"He's going to show up!" Lu Xiaoxian was confident and glanced at Guo Zhen, "Master Guo, it seems that we have to work hard again, let's do it again, otherwise wouldn't it be favoritism?" ”
Guo Zhen said with a smile: "It's not hard, it's fun, no problem, let's do it again!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian made a gesture to Zhang Meng, and Zhang Meng walked out of the house again.
……
Hateful Water was gloomy and paced back and forth in the room.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Qiu Tao asked cautiously.
"I've always felt weird, he spent such a big price to go to some cities, is it just to enjoy the mountains and rivers?" Hatred Shui wandered his gaze and said, "Dare to be affectionate and shoulder such a mission!" ”
"What mission?"
"He took a letter from the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and wanted to see Zampu, which means that their group is the Great Zhou Mission, no wonder there will be Yulin Army escorting them all the way!"
Qiu Tao felt strange: "Send an envoy, how can you let him be an envoy?" He doesn't have an official status, isn't this reasonable? ”
"I also think it's strange, but that's the way it is, maybe the Great Zhou Emperor wants to do things secretly!"
"So what do we do now?"
Hatred Shui thought for a while: "You first try to pass the news to Da Yan, and then we will act on the opportunity, and it is best to try to know what is written in the letter of the Great Zhou Emperor!" ”
"Okay! Dad, I'll get the word out as soon as possible! Qiu Tao nodded.
The same scene was staged in Ouyang Jian and Tang Qian's house.
Ouyang Jian said with emotion: "Shibei was impressed for three days, but I didn't expect this kid to become the emperor's envoy, he went to Taozhou to see Tubo Zampu!" ”
Tang Qian was sitting at the table and was in a trance, listening to Ouyang Jian's words, she frowned: "What do you say about this matter, hurry up and pass the news to Master!" ”
"You don't have to worry about delivering news!" Ouyang Jian looked at Tang Qian, "Senior sister, I just want to remind you that you have to learn the lesson of the last time in Panzhou, if you annoy Master again, it will not be as simple as thinking about it!" ”
Listening to Ouyang Jian's words, Tang Qian's heart was irritable. On one side is her sweetheart, and on the other side is her master, how does this make her deal with herself?
Tang Qian said a little impatiently: "I know, senior brother, hurry up and sleep!" ”
Ouyang Jian shook his head, sighed, and spread the futon on the ground in the corner of the house. These days are like this, although they are in the same room, but Ouyang Jian sleeps underground, and Tang Qian sleeps on the bed.
After Kazuo lay down, Ouyang Jian muttered in a low voice: "Senior sister, you should also go to sleep quickly, I don't know how that madman will toss people tomorrow!" ”
