Chapter 9 Departure
Time passed quickly, it was already dawn in a blink of an eye, Gu Xiuyuan didn't sleep all night, and sat quietly in the study all night. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hoo ......"
Gu Xiuyuan got up and took a deep breath and then spit it out, as if he wanted to spit out the discomfort and helplessness in his heart.
At this time, a small servant whispered a greeting from outside the door: "Childe, do you need to wash?"
"Go get ready."
"Got it?" The little guy replied and turned away.
Gu Xiuyuan opened the door, looked at the rising sun outside, and the morning glow stained the sky, thinking to himself: It seems that today is a good weather, and the road should be smoother.
As usual, Gu Xiuyuan came to the courtyard, playing the fists and feet given to him by his father when he was a child, and worked hard to exercise his muscles, and his every move was not as weak and weak as he was at the beginning, but there was a short-term and rapid explosive force that was fast, ruthless, and accurate.
The old housekeeper saw Gu Xiuyuan exercising there from a distance, but he didn't step forward to disturb him, but as usual, he instructed the little servant to prepare hot water and food.
After a while, Gu Xiuyuan saw the old housekeeper standing quietly in the distance, knowing in his heart that he didn't want to disturb himself, he was a little moved, so he put away his movements, and today's workout should be over.
"Da Lang, the hot water is ready, let's go wash first." The old housekeeper bent over Gu Xiuyuan and said with a smile.
"Got it, Uncle Ze, you will help me pack up those things I should bring later, I'm afraid that it will be too late for someone to come from the county government for a while." Gu Xiuyuan nodded and told the old housekeeper not to forget his salute.
"It was already cleaned up last night, so Da Lang doesn't have to worry about this."
The old housekeeper was also sleepless for half a night, and his heart was mixed, and the old man told him not to tell Da Lang those things, but he was still anxious to show his mouth for a while.
If Da Lang has a good time going this time, then he will not have the face to see the master and the lady.
After Gu Xiuyuan heard this, he knew in his heart that the old housekeeper must still be worried about himself, so he couldn't help but comfort him: "Uncle Ze, don't worry, I'm just going to go through the motions, so as to add some margins to this official position, so as not to be criticized by others, there is nothing dangerous about this trip, and it is all on the official road, so you can rest assured."
Then he seemed to think of something, and continued: "By the way, I left a prescription in the pharmacy in the city that day, and when I leave, you will go there, the prescription must be kept secret, and I have told the shopkeeper over there about the specific things, if there is a major matter that needs the principal to take an idea, you can just say a word, and the province will be silent in the house all day."
The old housekeeper actually knew in his heart that Gu Xiuyuan was comforting himself, but it did have some effect, and at this time, he didn't have the nervousness and uneasiness just now, so he urged Gu Xiuyuan to hurry up and take a bath, and if he didn't change it immediately when he was sweating, he would be susceptible to the cold.
Gu Xiuyuan also knew that in terms of his own health, the old housekeeper was more paranoid than anyone else, for fear of suffering from some illness, his heart was very warm when he thought of this, but he left with a wry smile on his face.
…………
Coincidentally, after Gu Xiuyuan finished washing and bathing, and then finished breakfast, Li Er came to Gu's mansion with the other three messengers.
"My lord......" Li Er took the lead in setting an example, and the remaining three said aloud according to their movements. I have been doing it in the government for some days, so the etiquette of the chief is more standardized than that of Gu Xiuyuan, who is a talent, and people can't find fault with it.
"It's all here, can you go?" Gu Xiuyuan got up and nodded in order to ask.
It seems that Wang Wenzhong is also proficient in human accidents, and he knows that he is familiar with Li Er, so he transferred him and became the leader of the other three.
"My lord, the escort team composed of the recruited people has already left the city." Li Er replied.
Hearing this, Gu Xiuyuan turned around and saluted the old housekeeper, and said seriously: "Uncle Ze, the affairs of the mansion and the pharmacy are entrusted to you."
The old housekeeper definitely couldn't accept this gift, so he hurriedly helped Gu Xiuyuan up and said, "Don't bother the villain, it's better to go with Brother Li and them quickly, so as not to miss the time of the Yasi."
Although the old housekeeper was reluctant to take care of Xiuyuan, and he didn't want him to do it alone, but he had to urge, after all, he had already recorded his name, if the period was wrong, or if there was a shortage of materials, it would be able to correct the military law.
Human life is at stake, and the old housekeeper is still not confused.
Gu Xiuyuan also knew the priority of the matter, and after saying goodbye to the old housekeeper and several stewards in the house, he left the Gu Mansion with Li Er and the four of them, and the old housekeeper watched Da Lang's departure in front of the door, silently praying in his heart that Da Lang would be safe and sound on the way.
After Gu Xiuyuan and the five of them left the Gu Mansion in a hurry, after taking the customs clearance documents and the voucher for escorting military funds from the county office, they rushed to the place where the people and materials gathered, Gu Xiuyuan personally checked the money, grain and vehicles for transporting ordnance, of course, the medicinal materials provided by the Gu family pharmacy were also among them.
After confirming that all the materials were correct, he said to Li Er and asked them to set off, and Gu Xiuyuan himself also took the first step of his plan.
Earn military merits and be promoted to military positions, take the name of the document and enter the court.
There are more than 30 people accompanying this group of people who escort military funds, and these 30 or so people's families are good households in this northwest region, and there is no need to serve as a civilian husband according to the system, but this northwest region is the border between Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, and the two sides have been rubbing against each other all year round.
Almost every household in Kansai will have a husband and son blood stained on the border, and over time, in this northwest region, it has become the norm for the people of good households to act as laborers, at least, it is better than going to the battlefield.
In addition to Li Er, the remaining three people are the bancha of the Yasi - Sun Ming and Sun Ji are brothers, and one person heard Li Er say that he was a distant relative of Lord Liu of Zhixian County, named Liu Yaozu.
On the surface, the three of them are all old officials in front of the ya, and their cunning is not much worse than that of a fox, Gu Xiuyuan made up his mind in his heart that if something happens, he will definitely not be able to rely on them.
It seems that we need to find some people in the people, otherwise we will definitely not be able to go this way.
Relying on the memory of the two lifetimes, Gu Xiuyuan probably knew that Huating County is bordered by Chongxin County in the east, Zhuanglang County in the west, Longxi in the south, and Pingliang is north of Huating.
Huating County to Beipingliang County will pass through the foothills of Guanshan Mountain, Liupan Mountain folded area, on the way to the territory of hills and ravines, mountains and winding, it is this complex and changeable environment, led to the breeding of rebels, homeless people, robbers, it can be said that this area is synonymous with chaos and crime.
It is precisely for this reason that all the large and small counties in Weizhou Prefecture are unwilling to escort military funds, it is good that they can be sent there, but if they can't be sent, they will be subject to military law, and they may not be able to save the lives of robbers on this road!
[Say, because I checked some information on the Internet, but there are still a lot of deficiencies, so I ask readers to forgive me, by the way, there is also this Weizhou, whether it belongs to Qinfeng Road or Jingyuan Road or Yongxing Military Road, because of this I am very distressed, because some maps are different, and each of the maps in my hand is different, so for the sake of simplicity, I directly zoned it to Qinfeng Road. ]
