Chapter 229: Small Talk

Gu Yilan only took some carry-on luggage with her when she left, Fang Zhi and Fang Xin accompanied her in King Yi's car, while most of the Gu family's servants were crammed into the Gu family's only intact car.

And the car was not originally occupied, but full of gifts that Mrs. Gu brought to her son and daughter-in-law. Naturally, those items couldn't be carried, so Gu Yilan left all these things in the few broken cars on the official road.

However, these broken cars are not unattended, Yiwang Zheng Jin specially assigned four or five guards to guard there, and the Gu family's guards also left a few in place, waiting for Gu Yilan to arrive in the next town, and then come to pick them up after buying new cars and horses.

Because Zheng Jin, the king of Yi, sent people to the Chunzhou Prefecture in advance, so when they arrived in Tong County, the magistrate of Tong County had already received the news, welcomed out of the city early, and arranged Zheng Jin and his party to the official post.

Seventy miles of road is not far away, but it is not close to it, and when they arrived in Tong County, the sun was already westward. Although it was not early, everyone was very busy, Zheng Jin, who was preparing to suppress the bandits, took the guards directly to the Tongxian County Office, while Gu Yilan ordered the servants to go to the street to buy new horses and vehicles.

After tossing and turning this day, Gu Yilan was already very tired, after washing and changing her clothes in the post house, she originally wanted to rest before dinner, but the more tired she was, the more she couldn't sleep, and her mind was full of corpses on the official road. In order to distract herself, Gu Yilan simply put on a gauze hat that covered her face, and took the maids and servants out of the post house, planning to go shopping on the streets of Tongxian County.

Tong County is the first big town in the southeast direction of Tiantong Mountain, and the cars and horses who take the official road of Jiangnan Road will stop here for repair, so it is very lively.

Because Zheng Jin arrived here, the magistrate of Tong County was a little nervous, afraid that something would happen to the prince here, so there were many officers and soldiers patrolling the streets, Gu Yilan took the servants to wander around the street until the sun set, and she was safe, and no one came to harass her without a long eye.

When the sun set, Gu Yilan took the servants back to the post house, and the new carriages and horses had been bought, but Gu Yilan did not immediately order people to go back to Tiantong Mountain to change the carriages and horses, she felt unsafe, so she planned to stay in Tong County for two more days, and when the officials and soldiers of Chunzhou Mansion set off to suppress the bandits, they would let the guards at home go back to the Tiantong Mountain area with the officials and soldiers.

"Miss," when she was about to arrive at the post house, Fang Zhi thought about it, and still said more, "You haven't eaten anything this day, it's better to wait until you get to the post house, and the slave will borrow the kitchen and cook some porridge for you." ”

"No need." Gu Yilan sighed and waved her hand, "Where can I eat?" ”

Fang Zhi and Fang Xin also sighed with Gu Yilan and didn't say anything. I've just seen corpses paved with a road during the day, so it's strange that I can eat now. Not to mention their young lady, even those of them who are subordinates don't have much appetite.

"Then why don't you go and make some tea?" Fang Xin thought for a while and asked, "Miss go back to the room first, and the slave will come when she goes." ”

"Forget it," Gu Yilan shook her head, and listlessly found a corner in the lobby of the official post and sat down, "Don't toss, just ask the servants of the post house to bring a pot of tea, let's just sit here, and go back to the room to wash and rest later." ”

Fang Zhi nodded, and just turned around to call the servants, when he saw Zheng Jin walking in with a few guards, and the county magistrate of Tongxian nodded and accompanied him.

After Zheng Jin came in, Gu Yilan immediately stood up and made a blessing in the direction of Zheng Jin, Zheng Jin nodded slightly at her in response, and did not stay in the lobby, but directly led people into her room. The county magistrate of Tong County didn't dare to disturb him, and after sending people into the room, he left very familiarly.

Soon after the county order of Tong County went out, Mu Zhengyi walked in alone, Gu Yilan stood up again as soon as she sat down, and gave Mu Zhengyi a blessing from afar.

Mu Zhengyi was a little surprised when he saw Gu Yilan, who was still sitting in the lobby of the post house. He hesitated slightly, then turned his footsteps, walked towards Gu Yilan, and took the initiative to ask, "It's already late, why hasn't Miss Gu Jiu rested yet?" ”

Gu Yilan didn't say much, just shook her head slightly and replied, "I can't sleep." ”

But how could Mu Zhengyi, who had been on the battlefield, not understand why Gu Yilan was still sitting here, he nodded and comforted Gu Yilan, "Don't think too much about things during the day, the more you think about it, the more you can't get by." ”

"Little girl as much as possible." Gu Yilan took a deep breath and nodded, "I have to thank General Xiao Mu again, if it weren't for you, the little girl would probably be unable to escape today." ”

"Miss Gu Jiu doesn't have to be polite." Mu Zhengyi shook his head, "Don't talk about today's official road, no one who sees it will not help you, just say that you are a friend of the little sister, if you don't save you when you die, won't the little sister blame you when you go home?" ”

Speaking of Mu Hongshang, Gu Yilan and Mu Zhengyi both had a smile on their lips. Gu Yilan thought about it, and finally made one more request: "General Xiao Mu, please don't tell Hongshang about today's matter." If she knew, she would be worried. ”

"Got it." Mu Zhengyi nodded first, and then as if he remembered something, he couldn't help but chuckle, "That little girl, I don't know how she developed this character, she is not very old, but she is used to worrying." ”

"Hongshang is very delicate," Gu Yilan mentioned Mu Hongsheng, and seemed to be in a much better mood, and her voice was much lighter, "Speaking of which, how old is the little girl who is Hongshang, and it should be the little girl who takes care of her on weekdays." But Hongshang is a very careful and considerate child, and she usually takes the initiative to take care of the little girl. ”

"There aren't many friends in red clothes," Mu Zhengyi replied, "The only young ladies who can make her think about it all the time on weekdays are Miss Gu Jiu, and Miss Xie Si of the Xie family." ”

Gu Yilan did not show her dislike for Xie Shurou, but said, "Who wouldn't like a girl like Hongshang?" It was the little girl who was lucky enough to have the opportunity to date Hongshang and become friends with her. ”

Hearing Gu Yilan say this, Mu Zhengyi couldn't help but smile, "Although it is a bit boastful to say this, I also agree with Miss's words, my little sister is indeed the most likable little girl in the world." ”

"With a sister like Hongsheng, the general can indeed boast proudly." Gu Yilan couldn't help laughing, her smile was warm, and when she mentioned Mu Hongsheng, her whole person relaxed a lot, and she no longer looked like she was listless before.

Mu Zhengyi said that she was Mu Hongsheng's friend who always missed her, which made Gu Yilan very happy, because in fact, Mu Hongshang was also the only friend that Gu Yilan really missed.
