It stands to reason that Xun Yan, as a deputy envoy, should not have evacuated in advance.

However, because he came to Jiangdong this time not to negotiate, Wang Lang has always been responsible for the communication with Dongwu, and Xun Yan did not participate in it. In several more formal negotiations, Xun Yan also sat silently on the sidelines and never expressed his opinions. This also made his status in the mission quite embarrassing, and Wang Lang's inaction against Xun Yan was actually quite complaining.

Moreover, Xun Yan's existence also made Wang Lang a little embarrassed.

He is the main envoy, but whether it is in terms of fame or background, he cannot be compared with Xun Yan.

This also makes Wang Lang have to take into account Xun Yan's existence sometimes in negotiations. In short, Xun Yan proposed to leave, and Wang Lang had no opinion.

Originally, it was normal to change the messenger.

Although Zhang Zhao tried his best to keep it, Xun Yan had already made up his mind, and Zhang Zhao had no choice.

The next day, Zhang Zhao set up a banquet in the government to practice for Xun Yan. Xun Yan is also lively in talking and laughing, and gets along with everyone very happily.

But when he returned to the post officer, he breathed a sigh of relief.

On this trip to Jiangdong, Xun Yan was not as relaxed as he seemed on the surface, and now he could leave, and the big stone in his heart was also put down.

Cao Peng and Xia Houlan packed their luggage and prepared to leave.

However, before leaving, Cao Peng walked around Wu County again. He went to Deng Wei Mountain, worshiped Situ Temple, and walked all the places where he and Huang Yueying had been together. In his mind, since Huang Yueying's eyes were black in Wu County, it was impossible for her to run too far. It is likely to be hidden in some monumental place, waiting for Cao Peng to find it...... However, Cao Peng found nothing.

———————————————————————————— the loss in my heart, there is no need to say more.

At the same time, there was also an anxious and impatient mood that made Cao Peng restless.

But either way, he had to leave. Cao Peng was originally a person from Xun Yan's private placement, and he was not in the mission roster. If Xun Yan leaves, and he doesn't leave, Wang Lang won't pay attention to him, and won't even allow him to continue to live in the post station, then it's a big problem.

With concern, Cao Peng spent another sleepless night.

After dawn, Xun Yan boarded the carriage and drove out of the gate of Wu County under the escort of Zhang Zhao and others.

More than a month ago, they entered Wu County through this city gate; More than a month later, they left, but with different thoughts.

Xun Yan said goodbye to Zhang Zhao and others, and then returned to the carriage.

Cao Peng sat in the deputy's seat, but he looked restless and restless.

"Ah Fu, what's wrong with you?"

It's almost midsummer, and the weather is getting hotter day by day.

So the curtain of the car did not hang down, Xun Yan sat in the car, and he could clearly see Cao Peng's every move.

"Sir, I want to stay."

After hesitating for a long time, Cao Peng gritted his teeth and whispered to Xun Yan.

"Stay?"

Xun Yan was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Cao Peng in surprise.

"Ah Fu, what are you staying for? Your father, mother, sister, and brother-in-law are all in Jiangbei, why do you want to stay in Jiangdong? ”

As soon as Cao Peng heard it, he knew that Xun Yan would be wrong.

He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xun, you misunderstood...... I didn't stay to join Koto, but to ......"

"What's going on here?"

Cao Peng's cheeks were red, and he said softly: "Sir, here's how it goes......"

He whispered to Xun Yan about the incident between him and Huang Yueying, and told Huang Yueying that she had run away from home and was now missing.

"I know that Yueying must still be hiding in Wu County. If I go back, won't I hurt her?

She didn't know anyone in Wu County, she must have been in the Eastern Hiding Province, hiding from her father's search. I'm worried...... So I'm going to stay. ”

Xun Yan looked at Cao Peng in a daze, and suddenly smiled.

"I never thought that this trip to Jiangdong would match a marriage. But why didn't you tell me earlier? I don't have to rush to leave.

It may not be useful for you to go back now.

Wang Jingxing categorically will not take you in, and your rash appearance in Wu County will inevitably arouse Zhang Zibu's suspicions, but it is not beautiful...... But we're out now, and it's not appropriate to return. I remember there was a carriage and horse post in front of me, and we were going to stay there for the night today. I sent someone to Huating overnight and asked the Lu family to come forward to help find ...... The Lu family, but I still owe you a favor. Although the Lu family's momentum is not as good as it was at the beginning, this network still exists. It's better to have them come forward than for you to stay in Wu County alone. ”

Cao Peng thought about it and felt that it made sense.

If you go back by yourself, there will definitely be a lot of inconvenience. Don't say anything else, but it's just that Huang Yan and Huang Chengyan won't give up. When the time comes, will Huang Yueying be found, and then Huang Chengyan will be taken back to Jiangxia? Cao Peng didn't think that he could beat Gan Ning. Even if Xia Houlan is added, he is not Gan Ning's opponent. If Huang Chengyan is brought back to Jiangxia, then Huang Yueying can only be someone else's wife, of course Cao Peng disagrees. And if the Lu family makes a move, not only can they avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles, but they can also hide from Huang Chengyan's eyes.

The most important thing is that it is much easier for the Lu family to find someone than to find a needle in a haystack by themselves.

"In that case, Mr. Yi."

Along the way, Xun Yan was extremely gossipy and asked about the matter between Cao Peng and Huang Yueying.

Perhaps after experiencing the stimulation of Lu Juan's incident, Xun Yan seems to be much more open to the love between men and women.

"Jiangxia Huang's is indeed a troublesome matter.

I have heard of Huang Chengyan, and his virtue is not bad, but sometimes he is too dull...... Hehe, but it doesn't seem appropriate for you to point at his nose and scold. Anyway, someone's daughter was abducted by you, and whoever she is, she won't have a good face. ”

"I also know, but I was angry at the time, and I couldn't bear it."

"Well, don't take this matter to heart. After finding the Huang family's daughter, go back to Guangling first. Then I will try to contact the Huang family and help you talk about it when the time comes. If Huang Chengyan still refuses to agree, then you don't have to worry, let's find a way. ”

This remark also fully shows Xun Yan's attitude towards Cao Peng.

Cao Peng's mood was finally much more relaxed, and he no longer had the earlier behavior of scratching his ears and cheeks and fidgeting.

—————————————————————————— is thirty miles away from Wu County, near the shore of Zhenze Lake, there is a carriage and horse station.

As the situation in Jiangdong gradually stabilized, the once prosperous avenue gradually regained its vitality. There are more wealthy businessmen and people who come and go to the south and north of the Yangtze River. Although Yangzhou is not as prosperous as the Central Plains, the scenery is beautiful and the products are abundant, so it is quite lively. Just because of the Yangzhou area, there are many mountains; Later, because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yangzhou was also the hardest hit area, so it gradually became desolate. With the extermination of the Yellow Turbans, the Yangzhou scholars joined forces to suppress the Shanyue natives, and the government also strengthened its control over Yangzhou.

Sun Ce is even more of a tough person, since the occupation of Wu County, he has consulted bandits and attacked Shanyue, and spared no effort.

This also makes the trade routes in the north and south of the Yangtze River gradually restore the prosperous scene.

The carriage and horse post are built near the lake, and the scenery is pleasant.

There are many guests in the inn, some of them are passing by here to eat, and some are here to rest and stay temporarily.

After Cao Peng and the others entered the carriage and horse post, a post man immediately came forward. The surname of the chariot and horse post is not the same as the official post, which is not open to the public, and is mainly responsible for receiving passing officials and messengers. The carriage and horse post is commercial, so the post is more enthusiastic.

Cao Peng jumped out of the car and prepared to help Xun Yan get out of the car.

Suddenly, a delicate call sounded in my ears: "Ah Fu! ”

Cao Peng's heart trembled, and the hairs on his body stood up in an instant.

He turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. I saw that in a window near the lake, there was a young girl, dressed in an emerald green dress, with a bright smile.

"Moon Ying ......"

Cao Peng couldn't help Xun Yan get out of the car, and rushed over in three steps and two steps.

The two looked at each other silently through the window.

After a while, Huang Yueying's cheeks blushed and shouted again: "Ah Fu! ”

"Yueying!"

A thousand words seemed to converge into two simple calls at this moment. Cao Peng smiled, and that smile was extraordinarily bright; Huang Yueying was also laughing, and against the backdrop of the weeping willows outside the window, she was even more girlish and feminine.

Xun Yan stood in the car and couldn't help asking, "Is that the girl of the Huang family?" ”

Xia Houlan nodded, "That's her...... This girl is really bold, she is actually alone...... Hey, isn't that Kan Derun? ”

A young man appeared next to Huang Yueying.

Cao Peng looked at each other, a little surprised.

Kan Ze?

How did he end up here?

"You're finally here...... I was saying that I was going to go back, so I would like to inquire about your itinerary and inform you by the way. ”

Kan Ze completely ignored Cao Peng's surprised gaze, with a bitter expression, "Ah Fu, please go and settle the account, I'm penniless now." ”

"Guest officer, do you still want to stay in the hotel?"

The postman of the carriage and horse post asked with some doubts.

"I don't stop, I don't stop...... Immediately turn the car around, and let's continue on our way. ”

Xun Yan smiled and waved his hand, and then retreated into the car.

Xia Houlan drove the car and exited the carriage and horse post. At this time, Cao Peng helped Kan Ze and Huang Yueying settle the account, Kan Ze drove an ox cart, and squeaked out of the carriage and horse post.

"This car battle cost me almost all my savings.

If you don't show up, I'm going to sell the cart to settle the bill...... But why did you leave so early and not with the group? ”

Standing next to the ox cart, Kan Ze smiled.

"Brother Kan, ...... are you?"

"Ah Fu, didn't you say, let me help you?

I want to make it clear, I can help you, but you have to take care of my food and all the clothes are yours, and it took a lot of effort for me to make up my mind. ”

Cao Peng couldn't help but laugh.

"Will you catch a car?"

"Uh, yes!"

Kan Ze shoved the whip into Cao Peng's hand, "Then you come to catch the car." ”

"What about you?"

"I ...... Hehe, I'll go take the car. ”

After Kan Ze finished speaking, he walked quickly to Xun Yan's carriage, waved towards the car, said a few words to Xun Yan, and sat down next to Xiahoulan.

Cao Peng looked at Kan Ze, then turned his head to look at Huang Yueying, and immediately understood what Kan Ze meant.

"Yueying, you get in the car."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and held out his hand.

Huang Yueying blushed and flirted her dress and boarded the ox cart.

Cao Peng ran to the carriage again, took the river treasure knife from the carriage, and hung it on the ox cart.

Then, he stepped into the car and flicked the whip in his hand, "Sir, let's go!" ”

"Let's go, let's go!"

Xia Houlan shouted loudly in front of her, whipping her horse and urging her horse.

The ox cart squeaked and squeaked onto the official road, followed the carriage slowly, and marched forward.

"Yueying, why are you and Brother Kan here?"

Huang Yueying Yao twisted her nose, raised her wrist, and flashed the red bean hand bead on her wrist, "Isn't it because your red bean is in trouble?" ”

"Oh?"

"Originally, Daddy was not in a hurry to leave, but when I saw the poem you wrote to me and this string of red beans, Daddy suddenly changed his mind. On the day you went to Huating, Daddy hurriedly said that he wanted to go home. I was also forced to have no choice, so I had to climb out of the back window and quietly slipped out the back door of my father's house. I also had nowhere to go at that time, so after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to go to Brother Kan.

Brother Kan is a good person, and after hearing about it, he asked the post official to resign without saying a word.

Before Daddy could react, he took me early the next morning and quietly left Wu County...... After we left Wu County, we didn't have much money with us, so we stayed at this carriage and horse station. Brother Kan said that you will come back from Huating in the next two days, and he will go back to contact you when the time comes. We stayed here for four days, and if you hadn't shown up today, Brother Kan would have already rushed to Wu County. ”

"I see......"

"Ah Fu, do you think Daddy will be very angry?"

Huang Yueying's words changed, and a touch of anxiety appeared in her face.

Not only angry, your father is already roaring...... Cao Peng stretched out his hand and clenched Huang Yueying's soft hand, "Yueying, don't worry. Huang Gong has someone around him to follow, so he won't be too angry.

After we passed the Biling Tomb, we sent a letter through the Lingting Station and told Huang Gong that you are safe and sound, just follow me to the Tanglin Pavilion to relax. Mr. Xiu Ruo has promised me just now that when he returns to Yingchuan, he will send someone to Jiangxia to propose marriage, what do you think? ”

Huang Yueying wanted to pull her hand out, but Cao Peng held it tightly.

Her cheeks were flushed, she lightly tapped her head, and a sound as light as a mosquito came out of her nose, which was considered to agree with Cao Peng's idea.

In Cao Peng's heart, he was overjoyed.

"By the way, Brother Gan knows about your acquaintance with Brother Kan, didn't he come here?"

"Stupid!" Huang Yueying said angrily: "If Brother Gan comes to the door, how can I sit with you now?" Broken ......"

"How?"

"Brother Gan is very thoughtful, if he stares at you, then I won't be able to leave?"

Cao Peng's body trembled, and he showed a nervous look.

"Yueying, if you want me to say, you must have been too worried. Brother Gan, he ......"

Before Cao Peng's words fell, he suddenly heard a burst of people in front of him shouting and neighing.

Immediately after, I heard Xun Yan's general shouting: "Who is the thief, who dares to block the road and still doesn't let me get out of the way?" ”

Before the shouting fell, a crisp bell rang and reached Cao Peng's ears.

Xi Yuyu, the war horse neighed.

With two screams from the general, there was no sound at all.

"Miss, if you say goodbye like this, Huang Gong is very worried.

Young Master Cao, please come out and see you, Gan Ning has been waiting for you here for a long time...... You have to wait for Hugh to step forward, otherwise Hugh blames Gan Ning for being spicy. ”

The last shout was like a huge thunder exploding in the air.

"It's Brother Gan!"

Huang Yueying's face suddenly lost color, but Cao Peng secretly complained in his heart.

However, he also knew that since Gan Ning appeared here, it might not be so easy to leave easily.

With a heart down, he stopped the ox cart.

"Yueying, you're in the car, don't get down."

After that, Cao Peng picked up the suede knife bag with his hand, strode forward without looking back, and shouted: "Gan Xingba, Cao Peng is here!" ”
