Soon after, the other lieutenants in brocade clothes who accompanied him also arrived. When the lieutenants saw the carriage in the river, someone exclaimed, "This Lord Xu must not have drowned in the river, right?" ”

Jinyi Wei Qianhu Xu Changqing glared and scolded: "Pick it up and see if you know?!" You guys can't go down and save people! ”

The lieutenants hurriedly jumped into the river, five or six people worked together to hold the carriage, the two lieutenants sank down, opened the door of the carriage, and then the people on the shore saw Xu Liang's long wet hair covering his face, poking out of the water, as soon as he came out of the water, Xu Liang couldn't stop coughing, and spit out several mouthfuls of yellow water, wiped his face, brushed away the scattered hair, and shouted in his mouth: "Damn, it's choking Lao Tzu." ”

Seeing that Xu Liang didn't have any major incidents, the captains all relaxed and helped Xu Liang ashore.

Xu Changqing stared at Xu Liang suspiciously, and said meaningfully, "It's so chaotic, it's rare that Lord Xu can still stay in the carriage honestly." ”

Xu Liang shook his hair with both hands, shook off the water droplets, and said with a smile: "I said it, if it falls into the hands of Jinyiwei, no matter how much you toss, you will ask for your own hardship." Xu has no other skills, that is, he can see clearly and know current affairs. ”

Xu Changqing nodded, "That's good." ”

Everyone looked at this riverside path again, and in a blink of an eye, it was deserted, and the group of people who were running to grab rice and noodles had long since disappeared, and the carriage was still sinking in the river, and the mounts of the Jinyi guards were also frightened in the turmoil just now and ran away, a long path, from the beginning to the end, there were only a dozen people left in Jinyiwei and Xu Liang.

Xu Changqing sneered again: "These people are inevitably running too quickly, right?" After a while, I passed by Liu Yuanwaifu, who fished for shizi, and I had to take a good look at how he put the grain. ”

More than a dozen people found three or four horses on the side of the road, and the group didn't even want a carriage and went on foot. Out of the town, I really saw a mansion with the words "Liu Mansion" written on the door plaque. The four Jinyi guards stepped forward to knock on the door, but no one answered, and the four of them were on fire in their hearts, pulled out embroidered spring knives, and drummed on the door bolt a few times, and opened the door. The four lieutenants rushed in to check it out, only to know that the Liu Mansion had already been empty.

Xu Qianhu looked at Xu Liang's eyes faintly, and he was a little unkind.

The next day, Jin Yiwei contacted the local government, equipped the horses and carriages, and then went on the road. When the team walked out of Pingyang Mansion, Xu Changqing abruptly stopped the team, turned around and looked behind him, and saw a team of men in Tsing Yi who were about forty horsemen, embroidered with a moire flying eagle pattern on their chests, with a green cloak on their shoulders and a saber on their waists, not far behind, led by a person with a square face, big thick eyebrows, a large beard on his chin, his face was slightly dark, he calmly raised his left hand, drank the team, and looked at Xu Changhu from afar.

More than a dozen Jinyi guard captains hulala surrounded Xu Qianhu, their knives unsheathed, and they stared at this team fiercely.

"Friend, since Pingyang left the city, you have been following us all the way," Xu Qianhu squinted his eyes at the square-faced man who was not outstanding in appearance, and said, "I advise you, don't follow anymore, otherwise, you will die a miserable death." ”

The square-faced man grinned, stretched out his hand to wipe it on his chin, wiped off the beard that was stuck to it, and arched his hand towards Xu Qianhu: "I have heard the prestige of Jinyiwei for a long time, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary." In Xia Nai, I am the housekeeper of Xu Liang Mansion in Zhenyuan Zhixian County, and the people in Zhenyuan City call me the iron housekeeper. ”

"It turned out to be Lord Xu's person." Xu Qianhu smiled, "It's rare that the iron housekeeper is loyal." It's just that Lord Xu was escorted into Beijing by us this time, if the iron housekeeper wants to rob people halfway, Xu advises you not to try. This official recognizes you as an iron butler, but I don't recognize the strength in my brocade guard's hands. ”

Tietou pointed to the row of Jinqi who was facing him, and smiled: "Xu Qianhu is right." However, Master Xu can rest assured that Tie has no idea of snatching people from Jinyiwei. I'm just worried that my young master will be calculated by gangsters along the way, so I followed all the way, and if something happens, I can take care of it. As for the strength that Lord Xu relies on, I'm really embarrassed to say it, we also have this kind of play. ”

As soon as Tietou finished speaking, he saw more than forty men in Tsing Yi behind him raise their right hands in unison, and leveled towards Xu Qianhu and others.

Xu Qianhu's heart jumped sharply when he saw this, and he looked at the iron head dumbfounded. The rest of the Jinyi guards were also very nervous, obviously the other party was also prepared, even if the performance of the hand in the hand was not as good as the Jinyiwei's specially equipped strength, but the two groups of people were so close to each other, a salvo came over, how could they still be fatal? The captains in Jinyi looked at Xu Qianhu and waited nervously for him to make an idea.

Tietou sat firmly on the horse, curled the corners of his mouth and waited for Xu Qianhu's reaction.

"Oh, what are you guys doing here?" Xu Liang jumped out of the carriage, stepped forward, pressed down the hand of the captain of the Jinyi Guard beside him with one hand, and persuaded bitterly: "Both sides are their own people, what are you doing like this!" Then he pointed to the iron head and the others and shouted, "Put things away quickly, don't scare Lord Xu." ”

He hugged his fist at Xu Qianhu and said: "Lord Xu, Xu has no way to govern his family, and the iron housekeeper is a childhood playmate who grew up with Xu, and he has a deep affection for Xu, and he is worried that Xu will have trouble on the road, so he privately advocates that he will escort Xu all the way to Beijing." But don't worry, Lord Xu, they won't dare to mess around without my instructions. ”

Xu Qianhu snorted coldly when he heard it, and said secretly, could it be that with your instructions, they dare to blatantly fight against Jinyiwei? Xu Qianhu also knew that the shape was not in his control at this time, and reluctantly smiled: "It turns out that it is really the manpower of Lord Xu's mansion, and it is rare to see such loyal subordinates." Lord Xu is not at ease with my brocade guard, and it is okay to be escorted, but it must not be within 100 meters. ”

Xu Liang hurriedly nodded and said with a sneer: "That's natural." Look at Brother Xu, what you said is right, isn't it cold to me? I have absolute trust in Jinyiwei. But I can't trust those who want to frame me. The road from Zhenyuan to the capital is high and long, and the road is long, and it is difficult to guarantee that those people will not have any moths, and they will come up halfway to seek people's lives. Xu is in the prime of life, wouldn't he be wronged if he died young because of this? Hehe, these people followed, but they were worried about Xu's safety, and they would never dare to have any disrespect for Jinyiwei. ”

"I hope so." Xu Qianhu snorted coldly, waved his hand to make people retract, and the four Jinyi guard captains monitored the team of Tietou at the back of the team, beckoned Xu Liang to get into the carriage, and the team continued on the road.

After that, along the way, Xu Qianhu took the Jinyi Wei in front, and the Tietou carried the Tsing Yi Wei behind, just a hundred steps apart, not far behind the carriage, Jin Yiwei hurried, Tsing Yiwei also hurried, Jinyi Wei stopped to rest, Tsing Yiwei also stopped to rest, Jinyi Wei stayed in the hotel, Tsing Yi Wei also found a store to stay......

Xu Qianhu saw that there was always such a group of people behind him like a dog skin plaster, and he couldn't fight it, and he couldn't shake it off, and he was depressed.

Xu Liang saw that Xu Qianhu's temper was getting worse and worse these days, and knew the crux of the problem, after staying in the hotel again, he asked a familiar Jinyi Wei lieutenant to bring a message to Tietou, and that night Tietou took people to the inn, and smiled and stuffed 1,000 taels of silver into each Jinyi Guard captain's hand, and sent 5,000 taels of silver tickets to Xu Qianhu's room, and then when he came out of Xu Qianhu's room, Xu Qianhu smiled and actually stood by the guardrail of the corridor on the second floor, watching Tietou go downstairs.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty are ridiculously low, Jinyiwei because of their special status, the treatment is better in comparison, but it is not much better, taking Xu Changqing Jinyiwei Zheng's five products and thousands of household officials as an example, the monthly salary is about sixteen stones, which is converted into silver and is a little more than three taels, less than four taels. Xu Liang sent five thousand taels at once, which was almost the income of Xu Qianhu for a hundred years.

Real money was placed in front of him, on one side was the court law, and on the other side was white silver, Xu Qianhu did not hesitate and accepted it with a smile.

That night, Xu Liang changed from the inferior room to the upper room to sleep, and even the guards at the door were withdrawn.

When they set off the next day, the two groups of people went out of the city, and the distance was shortened a lot, and they were separated by a distance of about ten steps.

The carriage Xu Liang rode in was replaced with a new carriage specially sent by Tietou early in the morning, with soft cushions in it and soft cushions for the backrest, and the body was also long, which could basically be used as a bed to sleep on, and the dark compartment on the side was full of preserved fruit snacks. Xu Qianhu glanced at the car, then squeezed into the carriage with a loud voice, and sat in the same car with Xu Liang, not even wanting to ride the horse.

There was nothing to do all the way, and after more than 20 days, the tall city walls of the capital were in sight. There were more and more pedestrians and carriages on the wide official road, and occasionally messengers with small flags galloped along the road.

When he was about to arrive at the Yongding Gate in the capital, Xu Qianhu jumped down from Xu Liang's carriage, turned to ride on his mount, and ordered the captains to cheer up and prepare to enter the city. Xu Qianhu looked back, and saw that the iron head and others who got along with his group of people along the way had long disappeared, nodded secretly, lifted the reins of the horse, put on an unsmiling appearance and handed over the waist card to the soldiers guarding the city, and led the team into Yongding Gate, crossed the Temple of Heaven, passed through Zhengyangmen Street, passed through Zhengyangmen, and then passed through two alleys, and then entered the location of Fusi in Beizhen.
