Chapter 123: Birth Compendium (3)
Liang Zhongshu was very angry that the birthday gang that was to be dedicated to his father-in-law Cai Taishi last year was snatched away, but unfortunately it has not been found out who snatched it so far.
This year, my father-in-law's birthday is coming soon.
Taishi Cai, as a powerful minister today, is also his father-in-law, even if last year's birthday gift was snatched away, he must give it this year.
Cai Taishi is the most relied on favorite of today's official family, he receives countless gold, silver and jewelry every year, it can be said that he is rich and rivals the country, where would he care about Liang Zhongshu's birthday, whether it is 100,000 or 10,000.
Taishi Cai cares more about Liang Zhongshu's mind!
So even if Liang Zhongshu knew that he asked the housekeeper to buy treasures in Tokyo and send them to Cai's mansion, he would be punctual and safe.
But in order to show his intentions, even if last year's congratulatory gifts were snatched away, Liang Zhongshu could only continue to ask people to buy treasures in the Daimyo's Mansion, and then send people to Tokyo to send them all the way to his father-in-law.
What you want is this heart, and the weight of things is even more important!
Seeing that the day is coming, if you don't get on the road, you won't be able to catch up with the time.
Last year, the birth gang was snatched away.
100,000!
Liang Zhongshu doesn't care about that money, but if his things are snatched away again and again, isn't that showing his incompetence in front of his father-in-law?
And more importantly, it makes people feel that he can rob Liang Zhongshu's things casually, so how can he have a stable life in the future.
This year, Liang Zhongshu didn't want to be snatched away again.
On this day, Liang Zhongshu invited Suo Chao, the pioneer of urgency, to the middle hall of the mansion and said: "Suo Chao, if you are willing to help me send the Birthday Gang to Tokyo to give it to Taishi Cai, I will naturally promote you." Promote you to the rank of ruler of the army. What do you think? ”
Hearing that the Zhengpai Army who had been left behind in the Daimyo Mansion had been promoted to the envoy of the army, Suo Chao hurriedly shouted happily and said, "Lord Zhizhou sent it, and I dare not disobey it." Just don't know when to hit the road? ”
Liang Zhongshu thought for a moment and said, "I will send 200 soldiers to escort the birthday gang with you, and I will leave for Tokyo in three days." ”
Although he heard that the road has not been smooth recently, Suo Chao thought that with his own ability, where would those bandits be his opponents.
Suo Chao shouted, "Suo Chao will definitely send the Birth Gang to Tokyo safely." If there is negligence, it is a felony. ”
Liang Zhongshu heard that Suo Chao guaranteed that he would be able to send the Birthday Gang to Tokyo, and shouted happily: "It's not in vain that I will promote you, do a good job, this is for Taishi Cai's book, I will write another letter and put it in the middle, and protect you in front of Taishi, and ensure that you will be prosperous all the way!" ”
When Suo Chao heard this, he immediately threw his hands and shouted loudly, "Lord Xie Zhizhou! ”
After tying up the Birthday Gang, Liang Zhongshu called Suo Chao to the house and said, "Mrs. also has a gift for the treasures in the house, and I also want you to escort them on the road." I'm afraid that you don't know the feelings of the house, so I specially asked Steward Xie and two Yu Hou to go to Beijing with you. ”
Suo Chao frowned when he heard this and asked, "Lord Zhizhou, what should I do if the old housekeeper on the road has an argument with the villain and refuses to listen to the villain?" ”
Liang Zhongshu said: "Don't worry, I will ask the three of them to listen to your dispatch all the way." ”
Suo Chao shouted reassuringly, "If that's the case, the villain will also rest assured!" ”
After Liang Zhongshu told Steward Xie and the two Yu Hou, this Suo Chao really deserved the nickname of the Urgent Pioneer, even if it was just an escort gift, Suo Chao took the van soldiers to escort the Birthday Gang on the road that day.
Out of the Daimyo's Mansion, Zhou Jin smiled and said to Suo Chao, "Congratulations Master, congratulations Master." If this escort is completed, Lord Liang Zhongshu will definitely attach great importance to the master. From now on, Master will surely rise to the top! ”
When Suo Chao heard this, he waved his hand and said, "It's not too late to congratulate you on the safe delivery to the Tokyo Master's Mansion." It's better to be on guard now, but I've heard that this road is not smooth, and there are many robbers and gangsters! ”
Zhou Jin said indifferently, "Master, with your ability, where will those young people be your opponents." The two waves of thieves encountered along the way, didn't you drive those thieves away in less than three rounds as soon as you got out of the horse, Master! If it weren't for the fact that the master was afraid that the escorted birthday gang would be lost, he wouldn't want to chase and kill. Where can those thieves escape? In fact, without the master's action, the apprentices can kill those thieves. Why should Master worry! ”
Hearing Zhou Jin's compliment, Suo Chao was also proud.
Also, by my ability. That hairy thief was able to snatch the goods from Lao Tzu's hands.
Suo Chao laughed and said, "You should still be careful, you can't be careless about the thief's way!" ”
In order to avoid the most likely places for robbers, Yang Zhi forced his subordinates to hurry at noon on dog days, provoking his subordinates to complain.
Although Suo Chao did not let his subordinates rush at the hottest time, he was in a hurry, and in order to get to Tokyo as soon as possible, he hurried all the way, and he couldn't tire those soldiers.
On dog days, even if they avoided noon and only rushed in the morning and evening, the 200 soldiers were tired and sweaty, and they were exhausted.
They didn't dare to provoke Suo Chao, and complained to the old butler: "We are unfortunate to be soldiers, and we knew that we would be sent to work as coolies." It's just that the weather is so hot, and I rushed all the way, and I was beaten with a rattan by the guy for a little slack, and I didn't think we were humans, but animals. What's more, it's only the middle of May, and a day or two late won't delay the big event, and please ask the old housekeeper to have mercy on one or two, persuade one or two sentences, and walk slowly! ”
When the old butler heard the complaints of these soldiers, he said casually, "Don't complain, I will reward you when you go to Tokyo." ”
When the soldiers heard this, they said happily, "Thank you, Butler Xie." If we all look at us like the butler, how can we be resentful! ”
Those soldiers were tired from the journey, but Steward Xie and the two Yu Hou were sitting in the carriage, not tired at all.
It's just that there is a good home outside, all the way to the dust, the old housekeeper thinks about finishing things early, and going back early to enjoy the blessings!
I wish I could go to Tokyo early and go home early!
After the old housekeeper helped deal with the van soldiers, the van soldiers arrived and settled down for a few days.
After walking for 5 days, Suo Chao escorted Shengchengang with his van soldiers to a small hill 40 miles away from Handan.
36 miles away from Handan, in a small forest far away from the official road, Shi Jin was hiding here with 300 spearmen and 200 archers.
A spy Pegasus ran up to Shi Jin and shouted, "Tell the big leader, Suo Chao escorted the birthday gang is rushing towards Handan!" ”
When Shi Jin heard this, he immediately shouted, "Okay, you continue to monitor." Brothers, follow me. We must not allow this ill-gotten gain to fall into the hands of those corrupt officials! ”
The soldier shouted in a low voice, "Yes, big boss! ”
Shi Jin led the Liangshan army to kill Suo Chao's van soldiers.
Thinking that he was about to arrive in Handan, Suo Chao shouted loudly, "Don't be lazy, speed up." After entering Handan, put the birthday gang into the treasury of the government, and everyone can have a good rest and a good meal! ”
When the tired soldiers heard that Handan was about to arrive and that they could take a good rest after entering the city, they immediately became happy and walked a little faster.
When they hurried up to walk 2 miles, some sharp-eyed soldiers saw that there was dust not far to the right of the side, and there was a faint rush of shouting.
After a while, Suo Chao and the others all saw that there were no less than three or five hundred people in the dust, and they were already less than two miles away from themselves.
Suo Chao hurriedly turned his head and shouted, "Be careful! Watch out! ”
Seeing that the group was getting closer and fast, Suo Chao shouted loudly, "Who is here, we are the officers and soldiers of the Daimyo Mansion." No matter how much you don't stop, there will be no forgiveness! ”
Shi Jin shouted: "We are from the Black Wind Village, and those who know each other will leave things behind, and spare you from dying!" ”
