Chapter 272: Hurry up
The rain in Chang'an has not stopped, even if it has passed overnight, it is still raining wantonly, no matter how the people curse and get bored, the rain will not stop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis indicates that soybean-sized raindrops will flood some people's yards and contribute to the Yellow River.
The green hills outside the city also became shimmering in the rain, and many tree branches were blown away by the rain and wind, and fell on the dirt road that was already muddy, mixing with the mud, which looked exceptionally quiet and peaceful. Occasionally, people went out of the city, some went out to catch hares running down from the mountains, and some picked up a few taels of silver that had been hidden in the dirt for an unknown period of time.
The vigil who was originally stationed outside the city gate hid in the city gate to avoid the heavy rain outside, and he was able to make a fire, sit around the fire, and talk about the rain, this ghost weather.
And Meng Yu watched from the sidelines, quietly waiting for the arrival of Fang Yiai, he had prepared two fast horses, as soon as Fang Yiai arrived, they would gallop and rush to Luoyang as fast as possible, and go there to prepare for a sudden change in the Yellow River.
"Huh? Little brother, are you going out of the city? I see you are waiting here with two good horses, are you going to go far away? The bored guard on the side saw Meng Yu and couldn't help but ask.
He was very curious about why the young man in front of him still planned to go out of the city in such a bad weather. Although there was no order from above not to go out of the city, he kindly asked a word and did not get in the way, he is an older person, and it is right to care about his little brother, and besides, he can be regarded as eating the food of the imperial court, so he is naturally responsible for the people.
"Hehe, big brother, it's okay! I'm going to Luoyang, it's raining more than once, I'm afraid that the water of the Yellow River will change, so I want to go to Luoyang to see. Luoyang has my family, I can't rest assured, I am ready to go with my friends, and I can take care of my family when the time comes. Meng Yu's face was solemn, and when he thought of Nan Yue'er, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, but he also knew that anxiety was useless, so he could only sigh in the end.
There are three reasons why he went to Luoyang: the first is that Luoyang City has 100 acres of land, which is the original and largest fish mulberry rice planting structure, if it is destroyed, it will be a huge loss. In addition, Luoyang has cultivated rice on a large scale to supply grain in many places, and once Luoyang is flooded, I am afraid that the grain output of Datang will be reduced a lot this year.
And the second reason is very simple, Luoyang City is a big city, extremely prosperous, and has always gathered all kinds of caravan chambers of commerce. If Luoyang is affected, those vicious people will definitely jump out to make trouble, so Meng Yu will go to Luoyang, not Dingzhou and Jinzhou.
As for the third reason, that is Nan Yue'er in Luoyang. Since he said that he would take care of Nan Yue'er and give her a support, at this moment of crisis, he must go, otherwise he would be a man.
"Little brother, such a heavy rain, if you insist on going to Luoyang, I'm afraid you will encounter an accident halfway! It's not that the big brother is talkative, but this rain is really weird, Chang'an has never seen such a big rain, and now this rain has also fallen for a day, the dirt road is slippery, the danger can be imagined, please think twice about it, and ask the little brother to think twice! Na Shushou was a middle-aged man about forty years old, his eyes were extremely low, looking at the dirt road outside the city, and he couldn't help but sigh.
The dirt road outside the city was already muddy, and it was still clay, which would become slippery when exposed to water, and people would fall if they were not careful. And if it is a heavy rain riding a horse, it is either a good horse with a fierce general, or it is a person who seeks death.
Of course, Meng Yu also understood the meaning of this middle-aged guard, but he looked at the dirt road outside the city very calmly, and said with a smile: "Big brother, this rain is not enough, you don't need to persuade me again, Luoyang, I must go!" ”
The middle-aged guard glanced at Meng Yu in a daze, then shook his head, and stopped stopping.
When Meng Yu was bored, he couldn't help but whisper: "Hey? Why hasn't the eldest brother come yet, won't it be a pit? ”
Just as he was muttering, a hand reached out from behind him and patted him on the shoulder, making him tremble all over. Fang Yiai smiled and said: "Ziran, I think you have to go to Luoyang, this heavy rain will kill you and me." Forget it, who made you my brother, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, the eldest brother will accompany you! ”
Meng Yu was pleased, got on the horse, the white qi on his body surged, turned into gangqi, and then set off. Fang Yiai also followed, he carried a burden, and there was a retractable spear in the baggage, weighing 100 catties, and he rode on the horse to keep up with Meng Yu.
The two of them worked hard all the way, and they were tired to death halfway.
"Ziran, I said to rest for a while before leaving, you see that now the horse is also dead, let's walk to Luoyang. With the strength of the two of us, it will take at least two or three days, and I am afraid that Luoyang will already be submerged by then. Fang Yiai sat on the ground, looking at the dead horse covered in mud, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
It was originally a heavy rainy day, and Meng Yu drove the horse all the way, resulting in the horse falling to death in the barren mountains and mountains in less than three hours. Without horses, even if the two of them walked lightly, it would take three or four days to reach Luoyang.
The last time Meng Yu came back from Luoyang, it took more than a month because Changxi saw that she was going to stay in the township for a few days and eat the food in those townships. Coupled with the fact that they were driving in a carriage, not a fast horse, the speed difference between the two was too far to compare.
"Don't worry, it's noon now, I remember there is a town ahead, there should be horses, let's go eat first, and then continue on our way!" Meng Yu looked at the corpses of the two horses, couldn't help bowing, and then continued to hurry with his second stunned eldest brother.
At first, he also thought about rushing to Luoyang with his foot strength, but then he thought that even if he could reach the speed of a horse, his physical strength and internal qi would be difficult to support, and Fifty-Six gave up this idea and prepared to go to the town not far ahead with Fang Yiai to find two horses.
The two ran all the way, Meng Yu's speed was very fast, and he had to stop every once in a while to wait for Fang Yuai.
"Ziran, your speed is too fast, big brother, I can't keep up with you, you just slow down!" In order to catch up with Meng Yu, Fang Yiai almost lost his breath.
Although his speed is also very fast, he is not as good as Meng Yu, and he mainly trains arm strength, not foot strength. So in the light work, Ziran can't compare to Meng Yu's "Night Shadow".
"Big brother, the town is in front, we'll leave immediately after dinner, when the time comes, you go to the inn in the town and wait for me, and I'll come when I find the horses!" Meng Yu commanded and parted ways with Fang Yiai.
Fang Yiai was stunned for a moment, didn't shake his head and said: "Ziran is in such a hurry, I'm afraid there are people who care about in Luoyang, right?" He thought that this was the case, only the people he cared about would be so nervous, and only this reason could explain the reason why he had to go to Luoyang City, not Dingzhou and Jinzhou. ”
Then, he smiled silently, walked into an inn at the top of the town, let Xiao Er serve good wine and food, and waited quietly for Meng Yu.
