Chapter 44: Leaving the City

Han Yu stopped what he was doing and looked at Lin Wan'er who came over, not knowing how to explain for a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, Mr. Zhang, who had just sent away a group of regular customers who often came to the teahouse, and some of them were too busy, seeing that Han Yu's door was open, walked in on crutches, and soon found the clothes and baggage piled on the bed, obviously going out of the house.

Uncle Zhang sighed, turned around and walked out without saying anything, looking at Uncle Zhang's stumbling back, Han Yu was like a fish in his throat for a while.

After half a sound, Mr. Zhang walked in again, holding a small bag of silver taels in his hand, and stuffed it into the hand of Han Yu, who was stunned in place, "No matter what, you have to wrap the plate with you, it's not peaceful outside now, it's best to wait for me to inquire with the regular customers who often come to the teahouse to see if there is a caravan that has left Fengyang, and it is good to take care of it when we go out..."

Han Yu only felt that his eyes were a little moist, and he turned sideways slightly so as not to be seen by the two, "Uncle Zhang, I need to go out of the city once, as long as one month, as short as ten days..."

"Okay, it's good for young people to go out to see the world, this fate to come to the teahouse will always be your home!" Uncle Zhang flashed a smile, people always have more worries when they get old, Han Yu promised an approximate period, but Uncle Zhang was a little less worried, as the saying goes, parents are here, not far away, there must be a way to travel, it does make sense.

Time is pressing, Han Yu does not know who the Holy Lord will appoint as the minister, so he must rush to Xuzhou in advance before the minister of the imperial court arrives in Fengyang, and ask Zuo Liangyu to come forward to save Zhang Tanghuai's life, although Han Yu has not yet figured out how to let the arrogant chief soldier come forward, not to mention that this is to offend Feng Ying, the secretary of the criminal department, and Tang Shiji, the imperial history of Zuodu.

However, there is no endless road, there will always be a way, and there is time to consider along the way, not to mention that even if General Zuo is willing to mediate in the future, but if you want to go back and forth between Xuzhou and Fengyang, you must set off as soon as possible now, and you can't delay it any longer.

"Where are you going, and when are you going, I'll have some inquiries?" Uncle Zhang was a little reluctant, and asked Han Yu in a calm tone.

"Uncle Zhang, I plan to go to the Xuzhou territory, the matter is urgent, I hope the sooner the better!" Han Yu bowed and hugged his fists, although he was eager in his heart, but it was not good to refuse Mr. Zhang's kindness, not to mention that the situation was unstable, there were thieves and thieves rampant outside, and there were not a few officials and soldiers who were rampant and evil, and jackals, tigers and leopards often haunted, and it was indeed a good choice to go out with a caravan protected by the "Fight Line" organization, but such a caravan was expensive, but fortunately, Han Yu was not short of silver taels now.

Uncle Zhang smiled, turned around and walked outside, Lin Wan'er looked gloomy, and followed Uncle Zhang out of the room.

"If Han Gongzi doesn't give up, I will go together!" Wang Wei knew that Han Yu would not change his mind, although he didn't know why he was in a hurry to go to Xuzhou, so he stepped forward and took the initiative to ask Ying.

For Wang Wei, Han Yu trusted him very much, but more importantly, he wanted him to do it, Han Yu took out two packages from under the bed and handed one of them to Wang Wei.

The package was a little heavy, Wang Wei opened it slightly, and found that it was actually all white flowers and silver taels, and he was puzzled for a while: "What does Han Gongzi mean by this?" ”

"Captain Wang, don't get me wrong!" Then Han Yu Zhengse instructed, "This porridge shed for the relief of the people must not be stopped, once the incident in the east window happens, I hope that Captain Wang must save the lives of Zhang's family, I will rush back as soon as possible, I hope everything is in time." ”

"It turns out..."Wang Wei was stunned, and finally understood that Han Yu was in a hurry to go to Xuzhou, not to leave in a bad mood, but to ask for help, indeed Fengyang seemed to be calm at the moment, but in fact it was an undercurrent surging, even he could see that Lord Zhang killed the son and nephew of the magnates, but he got into big trouble, "It's better to send two soldiers to accompany him all the way..."Since Han Yu can trust him, Wang Wei knows that he has a heavy responsibility, so he can only stay in person, but he is worried about Han Yu's safety all the way, so he recommends sending two soldiers to follow in disguise.

"Not necessarily!" Han Yu shook his head and refused, "Once the incident happens, one more person under your account is one more strength, these silver taels are enough to attract trustworthy people, go to Xuzhou to take more official roads, and there is a 'fight line' escort, I don't think there will be any danger in the future, Han Yu hugged his fist to Wang Wei and saluted, "Please here!" ”

"Gongzi's words are serious, the person who saves his life should repay him with a spring, and Wang Wei should live up to his trust!"

Wang Wei hurriedly stepped forward to help Han Yu up, and assured him that Han Yu clenched Wang Wei's palm and thanked him again.

Early the next morning, Han Yu, who did not greet Zhang Tanghuai, carried his baggage on his shoulder, and followed a rugged and bold middle-aged man to a short distance outside the city gate, and met with a caravan of hundreds of people.

The reason why Mr. Zhang found Cui Linjiang is because he is a regular customer who often comes to the store to drink tea, and he is bold and worthy of trust, and when he learned that Mr. Zhang's righteous son Han Yu planned to go to Xuzhou, he immediately patted his chest to ensure that he was thorough, and for the sake of the face of the great benevolent man Mr. Zhang, Cui Linjiang completely regarded Han Yu as his nephew and did not charge a lot of money for partnering.

The Kou army besieged the city for many days, many caravans have taken off business, many people are counting on this first business to return to their capital, and they have gathered together to set off together, so they will form a large-scale caravan, in order to ensure safety, this trip is to spend a lot of money to invite Cui Linjiang to lead the "line" team.

Before the caravan set off, he first slaughtered chickens and sheep to comfort the gods and bless all the best for this trip, and Cui Linjiang, who had changed into half-old linen clothes, led a group of young people in the 'march' team to kneel down to their parents respectively, and paid some silver taels as support in advance, which was a routine rule.

Taking advantage of these gaps, many businessmen who joined the team said goodbye to their families who rushed to see them off, the business at the end of the Ming Dynasty was not good, the businessmen who died on the road did not know how many, and the family members cried endlessly, and no one knew whether there would be a day to meet each other on this trip.

Mr. Zhang, who originally planned to come, couldn't travel far because of his inconvenient legs, so he could only entrust Lin Wan'er to come to see him off.

Seeing Lin Wan'er coming, Cui Linjiang, who happened to come over, tidied up the horse, and said jokingly: "The little sister of the Lin family is here to send off her lover!" ”

"Uncle Cui, if you say that again, I won't sell your tea next time!" Lin Wan'er's face flushed, and she said angrily.

"Haha, my old Cui is afraid of you, you talk slowly, and there is still a stick of incense before the team leaves." This girl of the Lin family is the pearl of the palm of a group of tea guests, he Cui Lin Jiangtian is not afraid, but when he sees this little girl, he has to be polite and give three points.

After Cui Linjiang left, Lin Wan'er suddenly lowered her pretty face slightly, not daring to look at Han Yu, and tugging on the corner of her clothes as if she wanted to speak.

"You..."

"Brother Han..."

They both spoke at the same time, followed by an awkward silence.

The breeze blew, Lin Wan'er pulled away her scattered hair, she took a deep breath, as if she had mustered up her courage, she suddenly stepped forward and approached Han Yu, while others were not paying attention, she stuffed a delicate sachet into his hand, turned around and ran away without looking back, Han Yi was not the first brother in her last life, but in the face of the innocent Lin Wan'er, her heart was touched.

Frankly said that going to the land of Xuzhou, where he was unfamiliar with his life, especially at the end of the Ming Dynasty, was even more dangerous, but it was precisely because of the relatives in Fengyang City that Han Yu was arrogant and fearless for a while, and now he must rush to Xuzhou as soon as possible, hoping to save the lives of Brother Zhang's family as soon as possible, and when this matter is resolved, he will definitely take Zhang's husband and Lin Wan'er's family to leave Fengyang, the capital of China, which is a place of wrong, Han Yi secretly made up his mind, put the sachet away, turned over and climbed onto a thin black foal that Cui Linjiang had prepared for him before.

That's right, it was climbing, Han Yu's embarrassed appearance suddenly made the surrounding merchants laughing.

"Little brother, I advise you to stay with the ladies in the carriage, otherwise it will be ugly to fall!"

"Yes, why embarrass yourself so much, you are climbing a horse instead of riding a horse!"

"Go, go, you guys will ride horses in the womb!" Cui Linjiang, who came over from the side, smiled and scolded at the group of businessmen who were laughing at Han Yu.

Han Yu had a thought in his heart to learn the art of riding horses, in this Ming Dynasty in addition to carriages and sedan chairs, horses are undoubtedly the most convenient means of transportation, not to mention that even if they are used to escape for their lives in the future, they will always have to ride horses, Han Yu just came to the caravan, and in a short period of time, he found a hobby to pass the time on the road to Xuzhou.

"These guys have bad mouths, Brother Han don't take it to heart." Cui Linjiang chuckled and said with relief.

"Uncle Cui, but this horse riding technique really has to be learned earlier." Han Yu didn't care about the ridicule of those people, since his skills were not as good as others, why bother to fight more, it was better to immerse himself and learn the art of riding horses, those people who looked down on him would naturally keep their mouths shut obediently.

The team has been fully prepared, Cui Linjiang led more than 30 strong people wearing weapons, rode horses to check the entire team, and talked to each businessman, confirmed that it was neat and could set off immediately, don't look at Cui Linjiang's five big and three rough, but his mind is quite delicate, and the background, identity, and hobbies of each leading businessman are recorded in his heart, and he is the first to say it.

The time of a stick of incense passed quickly, the caravan set off on time, a team of hundreds of people, a team of hundreds of mules and horses, quickly left the battle-hardened Fengyang City, even if the moat and the corpses of the Kou army on the ground have been emptied, but you can still smell a faint smell of blood, the blood has long been soaked in the earth, I am afraid it will not fade in a few months.

Not long after the caravan left, suddenly a group of people rushed out of the Fengyang City Gate and chased towards the caravan.
