When Yang Quan came to the west entrance of the city gate, the sky was already bright, although the Tartar had crossed the border for more than a month, but the siege of the Tartar frightened the Shunde people who had lived a peaceful life for many years, up to the officials of the prefect's military office, down to the peddlers' pawns, all of them were so frightened that their courage was broken, so the prefect cooperated with the Qianhu Office, promulgated the city gate switch, and the corresponding inspection regulations, whether civilians or soldiers, were implemented extremely thoroughly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

No, when Yang Quan arrived at the gate of this city, the gate of Shunde Mansion City had just opened, and the city residents who went out in the morning, as well as the rural people who went into the city to sell vegetables, had already blocked this gate, Yang Quan frowned, they originally planned to pass through this city, but looking at the appearance, they had not gone around the side quickly when they lined up to enter the city. In desperation, Yang Quan had no choice but to lead people from outside the city towards the south gate.

This Yang Quan wants to take a ride, it seems that there is a certain official background, because they live in Shunde Station, you must know that today's post station has long been abolished by Emperor Chongzhen, most of the post stations in various provinces have been dilapidated and collapsed, and Shunde because it is located in the north-south traffic artery, this post station has not been deserted, but it is operated by some people with official backgrounds, and the business is booming.

Shunde post is located in the south gate of the city of the horse market street, this is two miles away from the city of Shunde a scattered market, this is a poor village, but because it is located on the side of the official road, over time it is prosperous, because the north Zhili was once designated as a place to raise horses, so the trade of mules and horses in Shunde Mansion is very prosperous, the interior of the city is narrow, mules and horses such as large livestock, naturally can not be in the city, but the demand for the trade of mules and horses is also relatively large, the merchants spontaneously began to trade in this village, after a long time, other sellers of pigs and sheep, They all gathered here, and this village has the name of Mashi Street and Yangshi Street.

Yang Quan led the people to the door of this post station, and happened to see Qin Tongju coming out of the city, and when he saw Yang Quan, he said, "Yang Quan, why are you here so late?" People's convoy is about to leave, has made people urge me several times, people are leaving, no way, I have to come out in person, if you don't come, people leave, you have to wait for a while. ”

Yang Quan looked at Qin Tongju a little helplessly, can you blame me? It's a long distance from the village to Fucheng, and you told us that it was late, so where would I have time to come over? But Qin Tong was kind enough to find a team for them to take a ride, where was Yang Quan embarrassed to say this, but he kept judging compensation with Qin Tong.

"Forget it, let's hurry in and meet the owner of the car, and you can follow the other people's convoy," Qin Tongju looked at the sky, pulled Yang Quan and rushed into the courtyard.

When they came to the courtyard, they saw that the mule and horse carts had already loaded the goods and organized the team, and it seemed that they were about to go on the road.

"Brother Lu, my people are here, let everyone wait for a while, I'm really embarrassed, this little thing should be used as the money for the brothers to drink tea, if there is left, even if it is their consumption on the way. Take care of the trouble on the road," Qin Tong said, stuffing a piece of silver into the man's hand.

"Hmm, Brother Qin, what are you doing here? Do you look down on us? Anyway, we are also Lu Dushi's fellow countrymen, what do we have to bring a few people over for his old man? As he spoke, Mr. Lu pushed Qin Tong's hand back.

Qin Tongju frowned, reached out and took out another piece of broken silver. Just as he was about to hand it over, Yang Quan stretched out his hand and grabbed Qin Tongju, and asked in a low voice, "Lord Qin, what are you doing here?" “

Qin Tong gave Yang Quan a look, signaled him not to speak, and quietly pulled his hand out of Yang Quan's hand, and he smiled and handed the silver ingot in his hand to the man, "Haha, Mr. Lu's little meaning is not respectful, you just don't want it, you have to give it to the brothers, don't you?" “

Mr. Nalu took the money a little "reluctantly", "Alas, you are really, we have such a good relationship, there is no need to be so troublesome, if it weren't for the brothers in the team, I would never have asked for this money." “

After he finished speaking, he said to Yang Quan, "No, you can sit in the mule cart behind you, you don't have to worry about three meals a day, just follow our guys to eat." “

Mr. Lu patted Qin Tongjuan's shoulder and said with a smile, "It's not early today, I don't have a chance to have a good drink with my brother, and when I come back from Beijing this time, I will definitely get drunk with my brother!" ”

Qin Tong smiled and agreed to this person's words, and when this person ordered the convoy, he pulled Yang Quan to the side, "Yang Quan, this car owner is difficult to work with, but this person has a way, and the speed of travel will be faster." He took the silver, he is familiar with me, he should not embarrass you on the way, when you get to the overseer, remember to do a good job, there is only so much I can help you."

Before Qin Tong's words were finished, the Lu car owner over there had already begun to urge, Yang Quan had no choice but to arch his hand at Qin Tongju and lead the people into the Lu car owner's car. The whip of the car sounded crisply, and the car slowly left the post station and came to the street outside, the wooden wheels pressed on the bluestone paved ground, making a rumbling sound, and the car was also bumpy and bumpy, Yang Quan was a little dizzy.

The whip sounded again, and the crowd in front of the carriage got out of the way, and the carriage walked slowly towards the front.

"Big brother, my sister-in-law didn't get in the car, she asked me to give this to you!" The person sitting at the back of the car handed a letter to Yang Quan,

Yang Quan was startled, stood up from the car, and counted around, isn't it? Among the people in this car, there is really no Qiu Niang, it's not that Yang Quan doesn't pay attention to Qiu Niang, but in order to cover people's eyes and ears, Yang Quan asked Qiu Niang to dress up as a man, she wore a man's dress and mixed with this group of men, where can Yang Quan tell the difference? If it weren't for this person, Yang Quan really didn't pay attention.

But at this moment, there is a crowded crowd behind the car, where to find Qiu Niang's figure? Yang Quan sat down helplessly and opened the letter, but there were only a few short words: "Brother Yang, it is inconvenient to take me north, I am seeking a life in Shunde Fucheng, waiting for you to come back." Autumn Niang"

Yang Quan folded the letter and put it away, feeling stunned in his heart, Qiu Niang was a smart woman, and she knew that it was inconvenient to take her this time, but if she was left in this mansion, Yang Quan was not at ease in her heart. Qiu Niang was afraid that it would be difficult for herself, so she didn't say goodbye, because she was afraid that she would be embarrassed. Now that she has gotten into the crowd, how can Yang Quan find her out? Such an empathetic woman, the former Yang Quan, how could she let her follow others?
