Chapter 294: On the eve of the journey
"Gonggong Liu, going to Xuanfu is in crisis, and now Manager Chen is still in a coma, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go, after all, your relationship is in the palace, and if you want to leave Beijing, you still need Manager Chen's consent."
Liu An looked at the hall and saw that there was no one else in the hall, and said in a low voice: "Lord Lan, last night Manager Chen had already sent a letter, saying that he was safe and sound, and he wanted to temporarily not 'reveal' the news of his wake-up to make the other party paralyzed, and now there are only a few people who know that he is awake." He was so good at assassinating him, he asked me to tell your lordship, don't worry about him, he told us last night, we will go there if you go there, if you have any mountain missing, we will give you a funeral. Therefore, let's go to Xuanfu with you, and Manager Chen will definitely agree. As you know, I am Chief Manager Chen's confidant, and we have a secret way to inform Chief Manager Chen. ”
I think what Liu An said is also reasonable, but I didn't expect Chen Jiu to wake up so quickly, Chen Jiu is also a scheming person, and he didn't say it so that the emperor could also know about it.
"Okay, Father-in-law Liu, you stand up first, since you say so, then you go and prepare, you may have to set off after eating, the time is in a hurry, if the things are not ready, let's go to Xuanfu to buy it, if you lack anything, tell Lao Liu, don't be polite."
Liu An saw that I had agreed to accompany them, and stood up happily and said, "Thank you, Lord Lan, I'll go and tell them to prepare their luggage and send Lord Lan off." "Sent Liu An away, I was muttering in my heart, they asked to go with me, did they want to spy on me, or did I want to protect me, looking at Liu An's appearance, it doesn't look like it was to spy on me, maybe now Chen Jiu saw that I saved him and treated me as his own, it is really possible to send them to protect me.
I came to the study, opened the secret room to say goodbye to Zhang Guifei, I had already made up my mind on the way, taking advantage of the absence of these little eunuchs and the three tiger brothers, let Boss Chen send Zhang Guifei to Leiyun Village, of course, this escort task can not let Boss Chen go, can only let Uncle Ran send someone to complete.
Inside the secret room, Zhang Guifei was reading a book under the lamp, as the weather turned cold, the secret room also began to get cold, although Zhang Guifei was wearing clothes, I also asked Boss Chen to buy her a few cotton clothes, but, after all, there is no activity in the secret room, people are still very cold, here are all explosives, and I don't dare to make a brazier or anything to keep warm, Zhang Guifei had to cover the quilt on her body.
Seeing me come in, Zhang Guifei lifted the quilt and stood up, put on her shoes and ran over to hug me and said, "Brother Lan, why are you here now, Xiaozhu, I'm thinking about you." ”
I looked at Zhang Guifei, who was still beautiful without makeup, and said: "Xiaozhu, I'm here to say goodbye, Lord Zhang is going to Xuanfu, and the emperor asked me to be a deputy envoy to accompany me, Xiaozhu, I can't accompany you in the future, I'll send someone to send you to a safe place these days, and I'll go to see you when I come back, okay." ”
Zhang Guifei looked at me with a little disappointment and said: "Brother Lan, I know that you are a person who does great things, Xiaozhu will not drag his brother's hind 'legs', it's just that Xiaozhu won't go there, just wait for you to come back here." ”
Holding Zhang Guifei, I also feel very guilty, after all, she is also my 'woman' now, but I can't let her appear in front of people in front of people, and I can't even give her basic activities, so I can only hide in this small space.
Stroking Zhang Guifei's hair, I said: "Xiaozhu, I know, your thoughts, but it's dark here, I don't feel at ease when you yourself are here, the capital is not safe for you, the places I send you to are all my own people, they will treat you well, you can wait there for me to come back, okay." "After all, Concubine Zhang Guifei has been in the palace, and she can't ask more about men's affairs, so she doesn't insist on it anymore when she says this.
"Brother Lan, then I'll listen to your arrangement, you go to Xuanfu so far, it's still a place to set up a boundary with 'Meng' Gu, pay more attention to your safety, it's cold, bring more clothes, remember, Xiaozhu is waiting for you to come back." As he spoke, tears were already dripping.
I stretched out my hand to wipe away the tears on her face and said, "Xiaozhu doesn't cry, I will come back well, I'm sad when I cry, we all have to be okay, okay." With that, I kissed her on the forehead.
"Brother Lan, I won't cry anymore, you have to travel far away, we have to be happy, Xiaozhu won't cry in the future, but I'm going to leave you a mark to let you remember me." Before I could react, Zhang Guifei had already bitten my wrist.
I held back the pain and didn't scream, and after Zhang Guifei finished biting, she grabbed my wrist and blew a few times with her mouth and said, "Brother Lan, this is the mark I left for you, as long as you see him, you will think of me." ”
There was a neat row of tooth marks on the wrist bitten by Zhang Guifei, although there was no bleeding, but it was also a pain to the bone, I shook my head and said to Zhang Guifei with a smile: "Xiaozhu, how can my brother forget you, I will think about you all the time." ”
"Brother, are you still in pain, Xiaozhu is 'sexual', brother don't hate me."
"How come, Xiaozhu bites well, and you will bite it when my brother comes back."
"Hmph, do you think I'm willing to bite you, I really don't want you to leave me, that's why I bite you, Xiaozhu bites on your hand, it hurts in Xiaozhu's heart, I will never bite you again in the future."
"Xiaozhu, I should go, I'm going to leave in the afternoon, I still have to go and prepare, you can wait for me to come back with peace of mind."
"Brother, go ahead, be careful yourself, don't let Xiaozhu worry."
Under Zhang Guifei's reluctant farewell, I went out of the secret room, first went to the front yard to find Boss Chen, and asked him to notify Uncle Ran to send Zhang Guifei to Leiyun Village after we left, Boss Chen promised to go and do other things, I went back to the study, looked at it, and felt that the journey must be boring, it is better to take a few books, and take out the two books I found under the corpse last time, "The Taoist "Guiguzi Technique" is in my arms, since I got these two books, I haven't had time to take a look, this is also an opportunity."
It was also fast to clean up, and after a while, the two 'women' cleaned it up for me, and now I don't know how Zhang Juzheng and Liu Yan packed up, where to gather and set off, Lao Liu's father and son and the three tigers didn't have much to bring, and there were not enough horses at home, and the four eunuchs didn't have horses, "My lord, what about the horses of a few fathers-in-law, you can't let them go." "Lao Liu came over and asked me.
I also looked at the eunuchs worriedly, Liu An knew my difficulties, and came over and said: "Lord Lan, we don't use horses, this sedan chair is used to walking, and we are not used to riding horses, Lord Lan, it is estimated that Lord Zhang can't ride a horse, he must take a carriage, and a few of us will definitely be able to follow." ”
Now there is no way but to do this, several of our horses are counted, and it is not so fast to buy them now, usually they carry sedan chairs, and it is impossible to prepare horses for them.
"Father-in-law Liu, then it's hard for you, see if there is a market on the road, if there is a market, we are buying it."
The matter was settled for the time being, the six of us rode horses, and the four of them followed behind on foot, first going to Zhang Juzheng's mansion to see how Zhang Juzheng walked, and we set off with him.
When I arrived at Zhang's Mansion, the 'door' of Zhang's Mansion saw me coming over and greeted me and said, "Lord Lan, my family asked me to wait for you here, please follow me into the mansion quickly." ”
Follow the 'door' to the house, Zhang's house is also busy, Zhang Juzheng came back later than me, and he has a lot of things, so the family is preparing, and there are many family members who are ready to accompany them are preparing their own things, followed the 'door' to the study, Zhang Juzheng is very calm sitting on the chair behind the bookcase to pack up the books.
I haven't asked for peace yet, Zhang Juzheng saw me come in and said, "Lan Yunjie, who asked you to go with me, didn't you say okay last night, you won't go?" ”
"Teacher, the student went back last night and thought about it all night, and he really didn't worry about your safety, teacher, so he didn't discuss it with you, so he brought it up on the Golden Palace, and asked the teacher to forgive the student's recklessness." Zhang Juzheng seems to be angry, but he is actually very satisfied in his heart, after all, I am his student, and this is one of the closest people besides father and son.
"Yun Jie, I'm not saying that it's not good for you to go with me, I'm worried that you and I are not in the capital, your silver number will be squeezed by them, and the teacher also knows your fist heart, why don't I want you to go with me, alas, the court is troublesome, the officialdom is dirty, this good thing will also be messed up by them."
"Teacher, the student didn't think of this, this is when he thought that the teacher went to the border alone, he felt uneasy, and he said it on the Golden Palace on impulse, and my subordinates are all people who can fight well, and they can always take care of the teacher on the road. The teacher didn't know when we were going to leave or how we were going. ”
"Is this, the emperor has already arranged it, ten 'guards' in front of the emperor, one thousand Beijing soldiers to accompany him, and my family here also brings twenty people to take care of our diet and daily life along the way, I know that you don't have it in your house, I have asked my family to prepare these together, I don't know how many people you bring with you."
"Thank you, teacher, these things are really not prepared for the students, I am also the first time to travel to Beijing, my family has no experience, or the teacher has more experience, I was originally with five family members this time, who knew that the father-in-law who carried the sedan chair would also go, there was no way, I took it with me, I don't know if the emperor will blame the students."
"It's okay, just go, if the emperor asks, just block it for the teacher, these fathers-in-law should be able to work hard, follow us to help us more, this time for the teacher's journey, the family doesn't know what will happen, I hope those characters in the court who like to make Lang can stop a little."
"Teacher, they are making trouble, and the emperor will not agree, I think the emperor is a smart person and will not let them do whatever they want." Of course, the characters we talk about are high arches.
