Chapter 103: Arriving at Linhua

After breakfast, Tang Zheng and his entourage continued to hurry.

"Childe, the road in front of Guancheng is not very safe, so I asked five brothers with fifteen family members to probe only five hundred meters forward. I'm afraid that the distance is too far, and if something happens, we won't be able to respond in time. Zhang Chao said to Tang Zheng.

"No, call them all back. We don't have enough manpower, and if we disperse, we will be even more short-staffed. You also said that it was not safe to go ahead, so they stepped up their patrols of the convoy, that is, there was no need to send brothers to explore the way. ”

"Yes, Childe. I'm going to have someone go and chase them back. Zhang Chao said.

"Well, go ahead! I'll take a look at the back. After speaking, Tang Zheng beat his horse and walked towards the end of the carriage.

The front of the whole convoy was loaded with some daily necessities and utensils, including tents, pots and pans, and the back was the food of the whole convoy and the forage of the horses. The middle part of the convoy is used for the passengers. So the main force of the escort was placed in the middle and rear parts of the convoy.

"I didn't notice anything." Tang Zheng rode his horse and asked a family member sitting in the car.

"Uncle, nothing happened."

"Well, let's be vigilant and pay attention, the road ahead is a little unsafe. Alert immediately if something happens. ”

"Yes, uncle. I will tell everyone to be vigilant. ”

"Well, I'll go look elsewhere first." After speaking, Tang Zheng rode on his horse and continued to walk towards the back of the convoy.

Every day, Tang Zheng shuttled back and forth in the entire convoy like this, but fortunately, he arrived at Linjiang safely and without danger along the way. Tang Zheng sent a letter to Cheng Pu to ask him to send someone to Linjiang to answer, presumably the people sent by Cheng Pu were already waiting in Linjiang. When you arrive at Linjiang, you can return to Rinzan by water, which saves most of the time.

"Childe, Linchengcheng is almost here." Zhang Chao, who was beside Tang Zheng, said to Tang Zheng.

"Yes, I saw it. You first send someone to the city to find a good place to stay. ”

"Yes, Childe." After speaking, Zhang Chao rode down to make arrangements, and Tang Zheng also turned around and walked towards the convoy.

When he came to the carriage where Cai Yan was, Tang Zheng knocked on the window, and after a while, the window opened, Cai Yan stuck his head out from inside, and saw Tang Zheng called out in surprise. "Are you still used to it? Tired or not? Tang Zheng asked Cai Yan with a smile.

"It's fine. I didn't have to work hard in the car. Cai Yan said to Tang Zheng with a smile.

"Hold on a little longer, we're going to be in Linshu soon. When we arrived in Linjiang, we would rest for two days before taking a boat back to Rinsan. ”

"Have you arrived at Linjing?"

"Yes, I have already asked Zhang Chao to send someone to Linjiang to find a place to live."

"Husband, can I come down and take a walk? After more than 20 days in the carriage, I want to get down and walk. Cai Yan looked at Tang Zheng with a look of hope, they hadn't entered the city to rest since they left Guancheng for more than 20 days. Looking at Cai Yan with a look of hope, Tang Zheng couldn't bear to refuse, so he said, "Okay." After speaking, the coachman stopped the carriage, Cai Yan happily came out of the carriage and looked at the scenery outside, and suddenly felt that the whole person was much more energetic.

Tang Zheng took Cai Yan off the carriage and handed over his horse to the coachman casually. Cai Yan ran away as soon as he landed, and Tang Zheng had no choice but to follow him closely. Looking at Cai Yan's excited expression, Tang Zheng smiled unconsciously.

"Wow, it's been a long time since I've breathed such fresh air." Cai Yan said to Tang Zheng behind him.

"You get off the bus every day to rest, how can you say it's been a long time."

"That's different, husband." After saying that, he ran forward two more steps.

At this time, Tang Ji stuck her head out of her mother's car and happened to see Tang Zheng and Cai Yan, so she yelled for the groom to stop. Tang's mother may also feel that the time in the carriage is too long and she wants to get down and walk, so she stopped the coachman, mother and daughter also got off the carriage.

"Brother, why don't you call me when you come down to play." Just when Cai Yan and Tang Zheng were playing, Tang Ji, an eye-catching object of the big scenery, appeared in front of Tang Zheng again. Tang Zheng heard the voice and looked back, but saw that his mother and sister also got out of the car and walked towards him.

"Mother, why did you come down?" Tang Zheng and Cai Yan stepped forward to help their mother.

"I've been in the car for too long, and I want to get some air. By the way, where are we now? ”

"We have now arrived at Linjiang, and we can see the city wall of Linjiang in front."

"Really? So fast? ”

"Mother, this is not fast. By the way, I'm going to rest in Linsu for two days first, and then we'll take a boat back to Rinsan. ”

"Well, you can arrange it."

In Linjiang City, Zhang Chao and Cheng Hu stood at the city gate and looked at the convoy coming from afar, and they were relieved, Zhang Chao and Cheng Hu hurriedly stepped forward to meet them.

"Where's Childe?" Zhang Chao asked a member of the Tang family.

"Brother Zhang, Gongzi and Young Lady are behind. Just now, the young lady wanted to come down and take a walk, so the young lady accompanied the young lady to walk behind, and the young lady let us go into the city. ”

"Well, you go in first, there is a brother in front of you who will take you to the inn." After speaking, Zhang Chao and Cheng Hu rode to the back of the convoy.

"Subordinate Cheng Hu see Du Lieutenant!" Cheng Hu saw Tang Zheng from a distance, so he turned over and dismounted, ran over Tang Zheng and saluted.

"Okay, why aren't you kid so polite at home?" Tang Zheng punched Cheng Hu and said with a smile.

"Isn't this used to it, by the way, this is my sister-in-law, my younger brother has seen my sister-in-law." Cheng Hu first said to Tang Zheng, and then turned around and saluted Cai Yan.

Tang Zheng pointed at Cheng Hu and said to Cai Yan: "His name is Cheng Hu, and he is the younger brother of my righteous brother. I told my eldest brother a long time ago that he didn't listen to him, why did the family make such a mess. ”

"The concubine has seen her uncle." Cai Yan returned the salute to Cheng Hu.

Cheng Hu waved his hand again and again to show that he didn't dare to be, so he wanted to salute Cai Yan again. Tang Zheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he said to Cheng Hu: "Okay, why are you so polite from your own family." By the way, there is nothing wrong with Beiping, right? What do you do with your men when you're gone? ”

"It's okay, I'll ask Brother Xu to help me train."

"Well, why are you here to pick us up?"

"Big brother, I don't feel at ease when I let others come, I originally wanted Cheng Mo to come, but considering Cheng Mo's temperament, I finally let me come."

"Hahaha, that's too." Thinking of Cheng Mo who couldn't hold back a fart for a long time, Tang Zheng felt funny. "Let's go, let's go into town too. By the way, how many people did you bring this time? Is the ship ready? ”

"I've brought five hundred people with me this time, and the ship has been ready for a long time."

"Well, that's fine. I heard in Luoyang that there has been a change in Wuhuan recently, is there such a thing? ”

"No, that's the news that the eldest brother is afraid that the court will be unfavorable to you, second brother, and deliberately let our people release it."

"You..." Tang Zheng pointed at Cheng Hu, who didn't know what to say. Did you know that, I was shocked when I heard the news. We're not ready for anything now, we haven't recovered since the last time we exterminated the Yellow Turban thieves, and I thought Wuhuan was attacking Youbeiping again. ”

"It's because we're not thinking about it."

"Forget it, don't talk about it. Let's go into town. After speaking, the group walked towards Linjiang City.
