The manpower is almost ready, and the rest is to explain the family affairs, and Liu Yu must try his best to appease the emotions of the Han sisters.

It is already the emperor's grace to go out on a business trip to bring his family, and if he brings his wife and concubine, it is not a business trip but a family trip. In these years, the transportation is inconvenient, and no one wants to travel thousands of miles.

Before parting, Liu Yu's most important "errand" was to dedicate two nights to comfort his two little wives.

Before dawn on the eighth day of the first month of May, Qu Zhu and Hu Xuan had already waited in front of the general's mansion in front of the palace with their baggage, Su Yan and Liu Wu slept in the mansion last night, and at this time, they came out with Liu Yu and his wife and Lu Chu'er and other fifty guards, and rode to the school field outside Dongcheng together.

The guards at home are still in charge of Cai Yingnu.

When I arrived at the gate of the city, the sky was dark, and I happened to meet Su Bi and Chai Jin going out of the city with dozens of domestic servants. Su Bi rode closer on her horse, greeting with a slightly hostile smile on her face. She had a strong heart to gather Su Yan and Liu Yu and his wife, but she didn't expect that this time the emperor would send them to accompany Su Zhe.

"I wish Xinzhujun a successful trip." The city gate opened, and Liu Yu made a gesture of invitation and said with a fist.

"General Xie Liu's auspicious words." Su Bi glanced at Liu Yu, her tone was not good, and she went out of the city first.

When Su Bi walked away, Liu Yu beckoned everyone out of the city. Xu Xuanzhu asked, "Husband, did the fourth princess misunderstand us?" ”

Liu Yu smiled helplessly and said, "What is a little misunderstanding these years?" Set off early, don't let the King of Chu wait. ”

Based on his understanding of Su Zhe, the obsessive-compulsive patient is estimated to have arrived a long time ago.

When the group entered the school grounds, Su Zhe, the king of Chu, had been waiting inside for more than an hour, and Liu Yu calculated that he should be the son and came out of the house at the end of the day. It is said that it is not bad to set off on the eighth day of the fifth month.

Su Zhe was accompanied by fifty relatives except for him. There was another young man. Introduce talents. It is the new member of the household department of Xinke Tanhua, Wailang Mingjin, whose official rank is not high and from the sixth grade, but he can make friends with Su Zhe and has a promising future.

His words were still quite polite, especially to Su Yan, the king of Yu, and Liu Yu, who had a military position.

Qi Fang was ordering troops at the school, and when Qi Fang came over, he was followed by Zhang Wuzhu, who had not been seen for many days, and Zhang Wuzhu was the adjutant in charge of escorting. Old friends naturally have to say a few words of greeting when they meet.

Qi Fang is now a lieutenant and has more than 1,000 soldiers under his command. This time, only a hundred people were needed to escort King Chu and King Yu, all of whom were carefully selected from his subordinates, all of whom were heroic and upright.

Liu Yu and his entourage did not arrive at the end of the year, and the Department of Household Affairs sentenced Wei Ru and Liu Ting, the left attendant of the Ministry of Households, to arrive a moment later than them. The group finally gathered.

There was no farewell ceremony, light and simple, only a carriage, driven by Liu Wu, and everyone's dry food and daily necessities were carried on horseback. All the way to the east of Tongguan without stopping.

Hu Xuan and Su Yan are both people who are not used to riding horses, and they complain on the road, and Ming Jin, Wei Ru and Liu Ting, who are civil officials, are not much better. Liu Yu seemed more adaptable.

The terrain in Guanzhong is flat, and the road is easy to walk in the first two days. Two meals a day in the morning and evening on the road non-stop, overnight at the station.

Before arriving at Tongguan, it began to rain, and everyone put on their coats and hats.

After the Tong Pass, it rained for several days.

Outside Tongguan, there was just a military disaster, the official road was sluggish, and the official road was muddy due to rain, so it was easy to delay the time to enter the post station. The night rain is not suitable for sleeping in the open, so you can only go to the nearest city to sleep.

The head of the household department judged that Wei Ru was familiar with the terrain and acted as a guide. There is a talisman to mobilize the local garrison camp, and the gate will be opened even if it is called late.

On May 16, the sixth day after leaving Tongguan, the party had entered the boundary of Huaibei, and the more it rained, the more difficult the road became.

At noon on this day, we arrived in Tangwu County, Huaibei Province, and the road ahead was suddenly blocked, and many merchants were blocked on the official road.

Liu Yu called Wei Ru and asked, "Wei Siju, is there another way to change careers?" ”

"There is only one official road to Huaibei by land, and the waterway can take the way to Dingshui, but the heavy rain will make the water rise sharply, and no boat dares to cross the river in the flood."

Originally, Liu Yue thought that he would not be able to arrive on time, but Wei Ru said: "But there is a mountain road that may be passable, but it is just ......."

A merchant next to him heard about it and immediately reminded: "That mountain road passes through the Fierce Ghost Forest, and you can't walk." ”

Liu Yu thought that he couldn't go, and only after asking carefully did he know that there were bandits in the Fierce Ghost Forest, and half of the merchants would be robbed when they passed by, so that road was also called "half of the road", and only those who were in a hurry to take shortcuts or merchants and dart teams who had paved the road would take the risk to go.

Zhang Wuzhu: "Huh! He pulled out the knife and shouted: "What are you afraid of, Lao Tzu is a soldier, and he will be afraid of a few thieves?" ”

Liu Yu knew that he couldn't make a decision on this matter, so he first asked Su Zhe and Su Yan's opinions, Su Yan naturally turned his gaze to Liu Yu, Su Zhe pondered for a moment and said: "If you can't arrive on time, you have to take the risk." ”

This answer Liu Yue expected early that Su Zhe was rigid and would definitely not delay his travel time due to road blockage. No matter how strong the bandits are, they will not dare to rob the officers and soldiers, especially the officers and soldiers have more than 200 officers, and the bandits in the Fierce Ghost Forest are said to be only more than 100, and the contrast in strength is obvious.

"Still be careful." This is the first time Liu Tinglu has expressed his opinion.

Under the guidance of Wei Ru, the group retreated more than ten miles back from the original road and turned halfway.

Half of the road is a mountain road, which is more difficult than the official road, and the first part of the road is a slope uphill road, and the carriage walking in the back is often stuck in the muddy water, and several people have to go down to push it. After walking for more than ten miles on such a bumpy mountain road, half of the road was almost half of the fierce ghost forest, and suddenly someone in front of him blocked the way, not the bandits, but the passing dart team, because they had a lot of goods, and the carriage sank, and as a result, a few cars were stuck in the muddy water and could not be pushed out.

In addition to the people of the dart team, there were also a few traveling merchants who traveled together, and they discussed with the dart team to give some money to accompany the dart team through the fierce ghost forest to hurry.

"It's okay, it's all good people. The dart game is the Huining dart game in Jiangxi, and there are some famous names in the rivers and lakes. Qi Fang stepped forward to inquire about the situation, and came back to ask for instructions, "Do you want to go over and help?" ”

The rain has stopped for a while, but you can't sleep open, especially on the bandit-infested roads. It is necessary to go out of the road before dark and enter the nearest county seat to rest.

Liu Yu said: "Find a few people to help them unload the car, push it out, and move forward together to take care of it." ”

Qi Fang brought more than 20 people over, and together with more than 20 people from the dart team, they still didn't push the carriage out, Liu Yu led people to step forward, dismounted and looked, and asked, "Why don't you unload the goods?" ”

A middle-aged dart head came over and said: "This military master, these truckloads of goods we escort are all good tea leaves in the south, if they are unloaded and soaked in water on the ground, this tea will not taste even if it is dried." ”

Liu Yu said: "Then find some thicker wooden sticks to warp out!" ”

"Sticks?" The dart master was puzzled.

At first glance, this person has never done farm work, in fact, there are still many tools that use the principle of levers among the people, but there are few used to warp heavy objects, Liu Yue asked people to find wooden sticks, put stones under the wheels, and use the force of two or three people to top more than a dozen people, and soon the carriage was out of the mud pit.

The dart head was very grateful, and Liu Yu also returned to the team. With this group of people shouting in front, the thieves who passed through the Fierce Ghost Forest really didn't appear.

It was almost dusk before he walked out of the halfway road, and walked more than 20 miles forward and entered the county seat of Tangwu County, when it was already more than an hour at night.

The dart team couldn't enter the county seat after the time of closing the city gate, and they wanted to camp at the city gate to rest, and there would be no bandits to harass them. Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers behind called the door open, and a soldier-like person went over to inform them that they could enter the city together.

The two princes drove to the small county town, and the county lieutenant hurriedly brought the people from the yamen to greet them and placed them in the official office, because the number of people in this line was too large, and the county government also borrowed the guest room of the chamber of commerce.

The official office was to be left to the two kings and the accompanying civil officials to live, Liu Yu and his wife and Qi Fang Zhang Wuzhu and other military generals just entered the hall of the Chamber of Commerce, and they smelled a burst of vegetable fragrance from the courtyard next to the Chamber of Commerce.

After the meal, the cooks of the Chamber of Commerce all returned to their homes outside the city, and there was no shortage of anyone in this group except a good cook.

Zhang Wuzhu was a little unappetizing while eating dry food, and complained: "Whose chef is so skilled, how good is it to bring a few dishes?" Why don't I cook a few? ”

"It's the same with the soldiers, we can't be special." Liu Yu took a bite of dry food, "Rest early after eating." ”

At this time, the dart head of the Ning Dart Bureau who had seen it before came to thank him, both for helping to push the cart and for helping to enter the city without sleeping in the open air, and his words were very respectful.

Liu Yu didn't take it too seriously, helping others is equivalent to helping himself, and they can't do it if they don't go to the cart and the road is blocked.

However, the dart head at the end of the year said: "Our head of the house personally cooked a few dishes, and I would like to invite a few military masters to come over and thank you in person." ”

Liu Yu also felt tasteless when he ate dry food, and he was a little moved, and said that Su Yan and Hu Xuan had eaten well in the official office, but it was not a treatment for him to eat dry food here.

Xu Xuanzhu saw that Liu Yu was silent, and said with a smile: "Husband, let's go over with Brother Qi and Brother Zhang, it's rare for the master of the dart game to have a heart." ”

Liu Yu didn't want to leave his wife here to eat the hard dry food, and said, "Madame will also go over." ”

As he spoke, Liu Yu glanced at the dry food in Xu Xuanzhu's hand, which meant that if you want to satisfy your appetite, you can't let yourself suffer here alone. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
