Chapter 12: Bad News
"What for?" When Hu Ding walked to the door, a lazy voice came from a corner next to him, Hu Ding looked sideways, and saw a soldier in tattered clothes sitting on the ground next to the door, holding a worn-out spear in his arms,
Hu Ding looked at the soldier in front of him, a little stunned, he had thought countless times, what the soldiers here should look like, but he didn't expect that this guy in front of him called Huazi was a soldier of the Ming Dynasty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The man was already impatient, and knocked Hu Ding with a spear: "Why are you stunned?" What about the guides? ”
Hu Ding led the way in a daze, but the soldier still blocked the way, and Hu Ding saw that one of the man's hands had been stretched out towards Hu Ding. Hu Ding quickly came to his senses and took a string of copper coins from the servant next to him.
The soldier shook it, sneered, and put the spear back into his arms, "Go over"
After walking over, Hu Ding couldn't help but smile bitterly, such a soldier, if the real bandits came, could they hold it? Counting on them, it's better to rely on yourself, it seems that even if you come to this town, you still can't relax
Soon after the team arranged for everyone to stay in the hotel in the town, the hotel welcomed a new group of guests. And these guests came directly to Hu Ding.
When Hu Ding came to the lobby of the hotel, he met the man who was looking for them. This is a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, wearing a cyan shirt, but he is dressed as a member of the Yang family. As soon as he saw Hu Ding, he stood up and said
"May I ask if the two Qin Masters are not there, there are some things to say to the steward of the convoy in person, and there are other things to say to the young lady."
Hu Ding frowned, "The two people in charge have been missing for a long time because of the bandits' raid, and now they are the head of the team, if there is anything, you can also tell me." ”
"Oh" The Ding stood up, but he stared at Hu Ding tightly, and after a while, the Ding hesitated, "Then please tell Miss, there are some things, it's better to tell Miss"
Hu Ding waved his hand, and someone from the family he knew well had already gone in to pay respects. After a while, the man came out and led the man to see the young lady.
A moment later, I heard the cracking of cups falling to the floor in the room. Hu Ding, who was not at ease, immediately opened the door, and then saw the young lady standing up, and the face of Gujing Wubo, who was usually unwavering, was full of shock at the moment, and there was a deep sadness hidden in his eyes. And on the white and almost transparent face, there was a crystal teardrop.
Hu Ding's eyes swept and saw that there was a celadon tea cup scattered on the ground, which had indeed broken into pieces now.
Hu Ding looked at the young lady's appearance, but he knew that there was nothing good to do. And it may be a matter of her family, so he slowly retreated outward.
"Yang Quan" suddenly, I saw the young lady looking up at Hu Ding, who was about to withdraw. She seemed to be suppressing something, and only after a while did she say in a trembling voice, "Today, let's leave home."
"Go home, okay," Hu Ding nodded, before going out, only then did he come to his senses, he looked back at the stunned young lady and asked suspiciously, "Uh, go back, aren't we going to deliver goods to the master?" ”
The young lady sat there dumbfounded, but speechless. The family Ding pulled Hu Xiang out and said in a low voice, "Yesterday, the old man returned to his hometown from Shanxi, and the thieves intercepted and killed him halfway!" ”
"What!" Hearing the news, Hu Ding was stunned, this is not that Hu Ding has any friendship with this old man who has never met, but this matter is too weird. Just as Hu Ding's team was about to enter the boundary of Shanxi, the rest of the road was all the way to Pingchuan, and they were about to arrive. The lord who was waiting for them to deliver the goods, as well as the son, had already been killed. That's a coincidence, isn't it?
But Hu Ding immediately came to his senses, what the hell does this concern me? I just want to stay in this Yang family temporarily, and when I am familiar with the situation of the Ming Dynasty before leaving, I don't care what conspiracy they have.
Hu Ding shook his head, walked out of the door, beckoned the guys to pack up, beckoned the convoy, which had shrunk by a third, and walked towards the road where they came. When he saw the young lady's carriage coming out of the hotel, Hu Ding couldn't help but think of the teardrop on the young lady's face. Her father and brother are gone, so she must be very sad now.
Amid the creaking of carriages, the convoy was once again on the mountain road. When it was dark, they had already arrived at the place where they were in distress, and Hu Dingzheng had arranged a vigil and was staring at the young lady's carriage in a daze. At this time, Ruyi came to him. Said in a hoarse voice. Looks like this girl must have been crying just now.
"Yang Quan Yang Steward, Miss will let you go over" Hu Dingleng was stunned for a moment, and walked towards the carriage, but saw the girl, wearing a white dress, looking at the moon in the distance, sitting on the edge of the carriage at the moment, dazed. Looking at her weak expression, Hu Ding's heart ached slightly, after all, this girl is just a child, but in the middle of the night, what did she let Ruyi come to find herself? Do you want to find your own shoulder to lean on?
Just when Hu Ding was thinking nonsense, the young lady had already heard Hu Ding's footsteps, and she would come to her senses. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Hu Ding and asked
"Yang Quan, you've been here for a lot of years, right?"
Hu Ding was shocked, did Miss Nima find out that she was an impostor? However, he still endured his horror and replied "yes"
The young lady sighed, "You can be regarded as growing up with me since childhood, we are a family, according to generation, it is okay to call you brother." So you're also the person I trust the most."
Hu Ding looked at this young lady, a little inexplicable, but in his heart he was maliciously speculating, could it be that this young lady is interested in this Yang Quan? But this has grown up together since childhood, isn't it, it's just that Miss Ren grew up in Miss's house, and Yang Quan grew up in Yang Quan's house.
The young lady, but she didn't know that Yang Quan in front of her was no longer Yang Quan, so she sighed leisurely and said: "Because I trust you, so I handed over the entire team to you, and we will go home tomorrow, but my father and eldest brother are gone, and the huge family business makes us orphans and widows, how to manage it?" I'm afraid, I'm afraid, after I go back, the family will be divided up by other elders, so tonight, I want to ask you for one thing. ”
This made Hu Ding's heart tighten, Nima is playing, but is it really good to get involved in the family's strife like this? If you can't get it, you're going to lose your head. In the final analysis, Hu Ding still wants to make a career on his own, because Hu Ding has no other skills, if he is asked to take care of the grain in the field, Hu Ding is sure, in this era, he can make a sky for himself!
