Gu Lianting said: "If it weren't for the long distance and the middle was not very peaceful, food would definitely not be a problem." ”

Wang Bodang resolutely said: "In this case, let's put together these old bones, and let's earn some face for the children." When the time comes, the commander will return victoriously, and we will bring back the grain, and then everyone will be happy. ”

"Yes!" Mei Fenglin glared and said, "When the time comes, see if that girl surnamed Shen dares to underestimate us!" ”

So these four people who are more than 200 years old together made a big decision, go out of the city to buy food!

Just as they were about to set off with some of their entourage, Wang Xian and Wang Po came. I don't know where they got the news, but when they heard that they were going to buy food, Wang Xian brought more than 20 soldiers, and Wang Po disguised himself as a man and followed them on the road.

"They're going to buy food?" Wan Linggen's face sank, "Just bring more than two dozen people?" ”

Shen Mingzhu nodded and lowered her head.

Wan Linggen stood up for a moment, forgetting the abrasions on his legs for a while, and he grinned in pain, and asked, "Zhan'er, didn't they go with them?" ”

Shen Mingzhu shook his head.

"Go and call them all." Wan Linggen said in a deep voice.

"Shall I go?" Shen Mingzhu looked at him in embarrassment.

"Yes, there you go! Ask for a lot of them to invite me here. ”

"Oh, okay." Seeing his grim face, Shen Mingzhu knew that he had made a big mistake, and went out with his head down.

Wan Linggen's mood was extremely heavy, he didn't know how serious the shortage of food in Kaifeng City was, the key was that these four old men who were over fifty years old and Wang Xian's brothers and sisters, plus more than 20 soldiers, could they transport the food back? Taking a step back, it would be a big problem to be able to guarantee their safe return.

The more he thought about it, the more serious he felt, so he hastily found a few soft cloths, wrapped the abrasions on the inner thighs, put on a pair of fat pants, and sat in the room waiting.

After more than an hour, those women walked in one after another, Wang Zhan'er and the others looked even haggard, and after saluting Wan Linggen, they sat in the corner and bowed their heads silently.

When everyone arrived, Shen Mingzhu walked in slowly, glanced at Wan Linggen, and leaned against the door with a small mouth, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Wan Linggen's gaze swept over everyone one by one, and finally stopped at Zhao Ling'er, "Ling'er, is the shortage of food in the city serious?" ”

Zhao Ling'er bowed and said, "Xianggong, it's true." Now that some families have started to eat grain, we have to cut back on our expenses. ”

"Do you know where the four elders are going to buy food?" Wan Linggen asked.

Zhao Ling'er looked at Wang Zhan'er and the other four women who bowed their heads and said softly: "Xianggong doesn't have to worry too much. I asked a few sisters in detail, and the four elders went to Henan Mansion. ”

"Henan Mansion?" Wan Linggen sounded a little confused, "What kind of place is that?" Do you have a map? ”

Everyone shook their heads, and Shen Mingzhu, who was leaning against the door at this time, spoke: "Xianggong, I have here a map of the state capital, county and county drawn by my ancestor. As he spoke, he took out a small bag from his bosom and opened it carefully, and sure enough, it was an extremely detailed map.

Wan Linggen was overjoyed, took the map and looked at it twice, and praised: "It's really a good thing, Mingzhu, thank you!" ”

Shen Mingzhu pursed her mouth and glanced at the women proudly, but everyone didn't look at her, and some even deliberately turned their heads, which made her feel very faceless, bit her lip and stood back again.

Wan Linggen searched carefully on that map, and finally saw a place marked "Henan Mansion" not far from Kaifeng Mansion, and he carefully recalled the Chinese territory in his memory, this so-called Henan Mansion should be near Luoyang, nearly two hundred kilometers away from Kaifeng.

Zhao Ling'er saw him staring at the map without saying a word, and said softly: "Xianggong, Mr. Gu and Mr. Fan have many protégés there, and there should be no problem in terms of safety." ”

Wan Linggen raised his head and glanced at her, let out a long breath and said, "But I can't rest assured, is the journey from Henan Mansion to Kaifeng Mansion really too peaceful?" ”

When everyone heard him say this, they stopped talking, and Wang Zhan'er and the others turned even paler.

Wan Linggen put away the map, looked around and said, "Sisters, you have to remember one thing, any of you have the same weight in my Wan Linggen's heart, you are all my family, very important to me!" Wang Zhan'er and the others raised their eyes full of tears and looked at him.

He also knew that the entanglement between them could not be eliminated by a sentence or two by himself, so he sighed and said, "Zhan'er, Hong'er, Xiangyu, Ting'er, the four of you will stay for a while, and the others will go back first." ”

When there were only these four people left in the room, Wan Linggen called them to sit down beside him, and said softly: "Sisters, other things have involved too much of my energy during this time, and I haven't taken care of your ......."

Wang Zhan'er shed two lines of tears and sobbed: "Why did the minister say this, my father...... They also wanted to help each other, but they didn't expect it...... On the contrary, he was worried. ”

Gu Hong'er, Fan Tingting and Mei Xiangyu also said in unison: "Xianggong! "It's all tears, and I can't speak.

"I promise you, I'll bring the four elders back safely." He said solemnly.

The women couldn't stop the tears in their eyes and could only nod desperately.

After comforting the troubled women with kind words and sending them out of the door, Wan Linggen ordered someone to call Uncle Zhang over.

"Lao Zhang, didn't you do that manager? Are you familiar with the journey from Kaifeng to Henan Province? Wan Linggen asked impatiently.

After Zhang Shuye figured out what was going on, he thought for a while and said, "I was the head of Nandao before. This Henan Mansion belongs to the North Beijing Road, from Kaifeng Mansion to Henan Mansion, even if it is fast and fast, it will take two days to arrive. According to the time when the four elders set off, they should have just arrived in Henan Mansion by now. He glanced at Wan Linggen and said: "Most of the roads are official roads, and I haven't heard of any thieves nearby, so don't worry, don't worry, Dashuai, let's wait for two more days, if there is no news back, it's not too late to plan an action." ”

Wan Linggen thought about it, it seemed that it could only be like this at present, so he nodded, and after the two talked about some military affairs, Uncle Zhang said goodbye and went back to the camp at night.

After sending Zhang Shuye away, he was still confused, took out Shen Mingzhu's map and looked at it carefully. From Kaifeng Mansion to Henan Mansion, this passes through Zhengzhou, but the mountains and rivers along the way can not be seen on the map, he put away the map and wanted to ask Shen Mingzhu, and suddenly thought of the delicate relationship between several women, and suddenly felt that his head was as big as a fight.
