Chapter 89: The Caravan (2)

"Roar!"

Zhang Liang roared, originally this roar, ordinary people would fall off the horse because of fright. But the old man, who was half-covered with his face, did not move.

"Who is coming? Dare to come to Meicheng to go wild? ”

The old man on the horse was indeed very calm, and slowly got off the horse and said: "I have been friends with you Mei for many years, and today I passed by here, and it was just that he didn't come to greet me, why did he put up such a big shelf?" ”

Guan Liang is an iron-faced and selfless person, which is also the reason why Mei Xiaohan takes a fancy to him, Zhang Liang said: "Lord Mei has an order, this place is Lord Mei's fiefdom, and foreign merchants are not allowed to enter." ”

The old man said, "In that case, we will be stationed outside the city, and I will wait for him here." ”

The old man waved his hand, and the people of the group stopped and began to set up camp. There is a great posture to stay here for a long time.

When the news reached Mei Xiaohan's ears again, Mei Xiaohan couldn't sit still, so she decided to go to the city gate to have a look.

"Master Mei should not act rashly."

"It's really weird."

It was Zhang Liang who spoke, and Zhang Liang said: "Meicheng has always been safe and sound, but today there are so many people suddenly, this matter is really weird." ”

"What's your idea?"

Zhang Liang said: "Wait for me to find out the truth and understand the situation clearly, and then come back to report." ”

"You're right, it's up to you"

After saying this, Zhang Liang led a hundred soldiers and went straight to the city gate. When they arrived at the gate of the city, they found that they had already been stationed there.

So he got off his horse, walked up to the old man, and said, "Who is this?" ”

The old man said slowly, "I have already said that I am friends with Master Mei, let him come to see me." ”

"What a big breath!"

"Don't you know what Meicheng is?"

The old man said: "This place was originally not called Meicheng, because of the outstanding merits of Lord Mei, this place was given to Lord Mei, and then it was renamed Meicheng." ”

"If you know it, why did you come to sin?"

The old man smiled, took off his hat, and said, "This brother, what you said is not right, we are not armed, and we are not hostile, how can we say that we are here to attack?" ”

Zhang Liang was speechless for a while, and didn't know how to respond, and said, "What are you looking for Master Mei?" Why can't you tell me? ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "The stakes are very high at this time, so it is inconvenient to tell you." ”

After saying this, the old man sat down against a tree, took the bread out of his pocket, tore it and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating bread, he drank wine. The expression is at ease.

"You old man, you don't have a small tone."

Zhang Liang immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards the city. When he arrived at Mei Xiaohan's mansion, Zhang Liang got off the horse and went straight to the main hall where Mei Xiaohan was, and said breathlessly: "It's clear to investigate." The visitor said it was your old friend and said it was not you. ”

"Am I not seeing? Or my old friend? ”

This made Mei Xiaohan very puzzled, because he didn't have any friends in Meicheng, not only Meicheng, but also in the entire Great Song Dynasty.

"Okay, I'll go meet him."

Zhang Liang said: "Master Mei, bring more people and horses, I'm afraid of this"

Mei Xiaohan said: "Don't worry about it, if this person wants to harm me, he will definitely not make such a big fuss." ”

"What's more, the person who came was aimed at me, if I didn't come forward, wouldn't he be underestimated."

Zhang Liang said: "I will go with you." ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "Just you and I will go together." ”

When Mei Xiaohan and Zhang Liang rode to the gate of Meicheng, they saw a lively scene. Many ordinary people in Meicheng blocked the gate of Meicheng, looking at the caravan stationed outside Meicheng, and there were many discussions.

"What a magnificent caravan!"

Ox carts, horse-drawn carts, camels, and carts of all kinds.

Mei Xiaohan arrived at the gate of the city, the soldiers stationed at the gate saluted one after another, and many people in Meicheng saw that Master Mei was coming, and they gathered around him, not afraid, and greeted him one after another.

Mei Xiaohan's pro-people performance on weekdays made many people in Meicheng feel that he was a good official, so when they saw him, they did not feel afraid, but more in awe.

The old man, who was sitting under the tree outside the city gate, slowly got up and walked towards the crowd that surrounded him. Walking to the gate of Meicheng City, the old man was stopped.

"No one is allowed to enter without the special approval of Master Mei."

The old man was not angry, and said, "Master Mei, don't come to harm!" ”

After Mei Xiaohan saw this old man, she suddenly felt very familiar, but she couldn't say her name for a while.

"You are?"

Mei Xiaohan stepped forward to take a closer look, but was blocked by Guan Liang, Guan Liang said: "Master Mei, don't trust him easily!" ”

Mei Xiaohan looked at Guan Liang and said, "I know your loyalty, and I believe that this person is not a bad person." ”

The old man said: "Mei Gongzi, it seems that you are a noble person who forgets things!" ”

Mei Xiaohan didn't say anything polite to him, and said, "If you have something to say, don't make a fuss." ”

The old man's face changed, and he said, "I won't tell you, I'm Grandpa Hulu, I'm not coming to you."

Mei Xiaohan said: "Haven't you heard of this name, Grandpa Gourd?" ”

The old man said, "I have nothing to do here, I will go to the Three Treasures Palace!" ”

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Mei Xiaohan decided to take the old man away first and chat with him, while the others still let them stay outside the city gate.

The old man and Mei Xiaohan went on the road and returned to their office station, this old man was not polite at all, he sat down if he wanted to, and drank water if he wanted to.

Mei Xiaohan didn't take these details to heart, so she asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

This person came with a huge caravan, as if he had a purpose, and his identity was by no means ordinary.

After sweeping away the plate of dim sum on the table, the old man touched his stomach and said, "I can be regarded as full, and I am tired from the bumps along the way." ”

The old man had forgotten all about what he was about to say, as if nothing had happened, and he did not consider himself a guest. The old man's unhurried expression made Mei Xiaohan a little unable to sit still.

"What kind of dumb riddle are you playing with me?"

"Do I owe you? So you're coming to collect your debts? Mei Xiaohan asked.

"The lord of a city won't drive me away just because I ate a plate of your snacks, right?"

The old man's words made Mei Xiaohan cry and laugh, but he had to respond, Mei Xiaohan said: "You won't just come to joke with me, right?" ”

The old man paused and said, Okay, I won't joke with you anymore, I do have something important to discuss with you this time.

"Inconvenient for unsupported speakers?"

Mei Xiaohan said: "Do you want to discuss something? ”

The old man said: "That's true, but there is something important!" ”

Although Mei Xiaohan had doubts in his heart, he felt that the old man in front of him must have an unusual identity, so he invited him into the dark room, and no one in this dark room knew except Mei Xiaohan.
