Chapter 628: Coincidence
Luo Weicai's family has been in business for generations, and since the last time he was exiled due to the war in Jiayuguan, this is the first time he has returned to Daming. When he learned that he could accompany the eldest prince to Liaodong, Luo Wei was very excited.
Logge was the most humble disciple among his students, and it was because of his protection that Luo Weicai was able to survive to this day. He is very grateful to Logge, people treat him sincerely, and Luo Weicai also treats him sincerely, and does his best to teach Logge a profound culture.
Therefore, Logge is currently the first prince on the grassland who yearns for the Ming Dynasty the most. It is very likely that because of this, Huang Taiji will make an exception for Luo Ge to come to Liaodong to contact the Fusang warriors.
"Young Master Luo, we still don't know the situation in the capital of Liaodong, so we haven't been able to make an analysis. Why don't we wait until we get there, find a place to stay, and then think about contact with the Fuso samurai? Luo Weicai chuckled.
Luo Ge seemed to have an understanding, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Mr. for your advice, the disciple is still too anxious." ”
Luo Weicai said with a smile: "Young Master Luo doesn't have to deny himself, he can prepare in advance, and it's not a bad thing to plan well, but we have to pay attention to time and skills, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort." ”
Logg nodded and continued to hurry. It was almost dusk, but they were still in the wilderness, and if they couldn't find a nearby village before dark, they had to venture out into the wilderness.
"Young master, we are only two hours away from the capital of Liaodong now, or everyone should not rest, rush over in one go, find a village outside the city to stay overnight, and then go directly to the city at dawn tomorrow." A man beside Logg gave him a hand.
"Is it only two hours away?" Logg looked puzzled.
"Yes, young master, my subordinates have been to Liaodong twice, and I still recognize this road." The man is sure of the guarantee.
Logge pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Luo Weicai, and gave him an inquiring look. Luo Weicai only thought about it for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.
Luo Ge got Luo Weicai's consent, and he immediately said to the man: "Then according to what you said, everyone will use some dry food first, and there is no need to rest to continue on the road." ”
The man immediately surrendered his hand and said yes, and then rode his horse and shouted the order.
The convoy continued on its way, and when night fell, it still lit its torches and marched towards the capital. There was little deviation from what the previous man had said, and in less than two hours they had arrived on the outskirts of the capital, and a small village appeared in Log's sight.
The village is very quiet at night, although it is still early, but the people always work at sunrise and rest at sunset, which will blow out the lights and fall asleep.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble or misunderstanding, Luo Weicai personally went into the village with Luo Ge to find the people who stayed there. The end of the small village can be seen at a glance, and there is a stone monument at the entrance of the village, which is engraved with the big red lacquer characters 'Baozi Village'.
There are only a dozen or so households in Baozi Village, and at this moment every family has turned off the lights and gone to sleep, except for the deepest courtyard house, a little light can be seen through the window. Luo Weicai and Luo Ge were overjoyed and immediately walked towards this courtyard.
Luo Weicai stepped forward to knock on the door, and after a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and a hoarse voice asked through the door: "Who is it?" ”
Luo Weicai replied softly: "We are passing by the caravan heading to the capital from here, because it is late at night, and the city gate has already been closed at this moment. I don't know if we can let us stay for another night and leave early tomorrow morning, of course, we will give back. ”
There was silence in the courtyard for a moment before the gate was opened, and an old man with a lantern stood in the middle of the gate looking at Luo Weicai and Logge: "Is it just the two of you?" ”
Luo Weicai was also looking at the old man in front of him with the faint light of the lantern at this moment, his thin body did not look old at all, but gave people the illusion of being robust. And the first time he saw the old man, Luo Weicai felt that the old man in front of him was not a native of Liaodong.
Although I was a little confused, an old man who was not a local lived here? But Luo Weicai didn't think too much about it, after all, Liaodong had just gone through the war, and it was not surprising that some displaced people came to settle here.
"Sir, the rest of our caravan is still outside the village, there are fifteen people in all, I wonder if it is convenient for us to stay. How much do you need, just ask, I just hope that the old gentleman can make it easy for us. Luo Weicai was very modest and said with a smile.
If Mao Wenlong was present at this moment, he would definitely recognize the old man in front of him, who he would kill now. That's right, the old man in front of him was Elder Fusang, and he couldn't stay in the city anymore, so he fled here and stayed.
The old man looked at Luo Weicai and Luo Ge for a moment, and found that both of them should be scholars, not spies sent by Mao Wenlong. While feeling relieved, he was about to refuse, but he suddenly changed his mind when he opened his mouth.
"What are you here for, martial law has been imposed in the city recently, if you bring something that the Dongjiang army doesn't like, the old man won't dare to let you stay." Elder Fusang had obviously already set his mind on robbing the caravan in front of him.
His subordinates and all their belongings are in the city, and because of Mao Wenlong's non-cooperation, everything is now in vain. His men were dead and wounded, all the money was gone, and if the caravan in front of him brought some good goods, Elder Fusang would not mind doing it.
Luo Weicai obviously didn't expect that the old man in front of him was already beating their ideas, and he still said with a smile: "Old man, please rest assured, we just brought some batches of goods from the grassland to exchange for some grain and go back for the winter, and there are no contraband." ”
"Leather ......" Elder Fusang muttered, hesitated for a moment, and directly let the door open.
"Call your people, old man, I have inconvenient legs and feet to serve you, and you have to do everything you need. As for the reward, just watch it and don't make too much noise when you come in, so as not to disturb the rest of the village. Elder Fusang explained, and he didn't care about Luo Weicai anymore, and turned around and left.
"Sir, this old man is quite strange, or is it that the Han people are so hospitable? It seems to be a little different from the hospitality of the Han people that my husband told me before! Logg's face was full of confusion.
"Alas, just after the war, how can the people have the leisure to entertain guests from afar, and take care of themselves, we can't misinterpret the kindness of others." Luo Weicai smiled bitterly and shook his head, turned around and went to call the others outside the village.
