The important matter had already come to an end, but Deng Ao was still trapped in the mountains because of some trivial matters, and he couldn't go back for a while.

I had to ask my henchmen to bring a message back, saying that within three or five days, someone would be sent to send Ah Yu and others to the border.

The master here was not at home for three days, and when Ah Yu heard the guard's words again, he blinked and felt that something was wrong.

"Why did Uncle Deng send someone to take us to the border gate?" Ah Yu thought that Deng Ao said last time that the matter was important and he couldn't show the news, so he didn't contact Guan Yi and the others, "But isn't Uncle Deng's important matter already done?" You don't have to wait for him to be completely empty, just get Guan Yi and them back, isn't it? ”

The guard scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

Previously, Deng Ao asked them to deal with the follow-up, but at that time, they didn't know that Guan Yi and the others were Ah Yu's guards, so they secretly did something to lead people elsewhere.

At this time, even they can't tell the whereabouts of Guan Yi and the others.

If you want to get in touch with that group of people, it's quite difficult to calculate carefully.

It is better to wait for Deng Ao to be free, personally send someone to send Ah Yu and Deng Shuang to the border gate, and then send a letter back to Kyoto, and explain the process carefully.

I think that Master Wen San will not blame him.

Listening to the guard's explanation, Ah Yu couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his cheeks.

Deng Shuang looked at her inexplicable movements and asked her strangely, "Do you have a toothache?" ”

Originally, the tooth didn't hurt, but listening to the guard's words, Ah Yu felt that he should have a toothache.

She rubbed a soft flesh under her palm, and suddenly there was a hint of timidity about what might happen in the future.

As early as when she made the decision to travel far away, she thought that she had thought through all aspects of everything, and even made plans for her death. But at that time, she didn't know that she would meet Deng Shuang in the Land Temple, and she didn't expect that she would be separated from Guan Yi and the others.

Aoba and Aorui are not with her now, and the letters they wrote back then are probably lost on the road.

No one can fully predict the future, and the chance that Ah Yu can get away with is already a rare thing.

"Don't bother Uncle Deng too much, you can send me directly to Yunzhou Mansion City!" Ah Yu thought about it carefully, and still thought that Deng Ao shouldn't be too troublesome, after all, if she really had three longs and two shorts, wouldn't it make her father and mother complain about innocent people, "If they can't find me, they will definitely go to Yunzhou Mansion City to wait for me......"

Although she swore that she was confident, there was still a lot of uncertainty in her heart.

Earlier, she was almost abducted on the night of the Lantern Festival, although that incident did not spread, but the problem of Ah Yu not knowing the road is almost well known.

If you accidentally get separated from someone and can't remember the way back, then go directly to the most conspicuous place to stand, so that people can see her at a glance.

If you can't find anyone else, then create conditions so that others can easily find her.

Others didn't know that this was what Ah Yu took for granted, and they all thought that she had really made an appointment with someone in advance.

I couldn't help but sigh twice in my heart, and then I began to prepare for the trip to Yunzhou Mansion City.

Even if Ah Yu may have made an appointment with someone to meet in Yunzhou Mansion City, no one can be sure when the other party will arrive in Yunzhou Mansion City, maybe a day or two, maybe three or five days, there is no fixed number. And Deng Ao's subordinates had done the wrong thing because of their own assertions before, and when they dealt with things this time, they would definitely be extremely cautious.

When they passed through the city gate and entered the city of Yunzhou Mansion, they inexplicably found that the atmosphere in the city was a little stagnant.

Passers-by lowered their heads and hurried to and fro, as if they were caught by something unspeakable if they moved a little slower for half a beat.

There were no vendors on the streets, many of the shops were closed, and the whole city looked depressed and lonely.

Ah Yu thought back to the letter Wen Huan had sent back the year after the year.

At that time, Wen Huan happened to travel to Yunzhou, and they spent their faith in the capital city of Yunzhou.

Therefore, in his letters, he used a lot of pen and ink to describe the scenery in the city of Yunzhou, the pedestrians coming and going, and various characteristic shops, which is a good place to play.

Wen Huan even compared Kyoto with the capital city of Yunzhou, compared to Kyoto at the foot of the imperial city, Yunzhou is because it is located on the transportation hub from south to north, so it can be very lively. It is precisely because of the large flow of people that there is an all-encompassing scenery in Yunzhou City.

But those scenes that are completely different from what Ah Yu saw in front of his eyes are completely different.

Walking silently to their temporary residence in the city, Ah Yu saw that there was no one else next to him, and then whispered to the guards who sent them into the city.

"Has something big happened in Yunzhou Mansion City recently? How can I see that many people in the city are lifeless, and people look a little scared when they see it......"

If you ask someone else, you will probably only get two or three prevarications.

But Deng Ao's subordinates happened to know the cause and effect of the matter, and in the face of Ah Yu's inquiry, he roughly explained the reason, anyway, their boss had already said that he could tell Ah Yu and Deng Shuang.

He smiled: "A small iron mine has been mined outside the city, but the officials in the city don't know about the iron mine. No, the above specially sent someone from Kyoto to take over the subway mine, and the officials in the city learned about it, so they naturally lived cautiously. The so-called upward and downward effect, others also follow suit, that's pretty much it! ”

Iron ore?

Ah Yu recalled Wen Ru's memory, Xu because the other party had been trapped in the backyard of Duanfu since then, and she didn't know if iron ore had been found in Yunzhou at that time.

But it's better to have iron ore than no iron ore.

Once the iron ore is mined, the armor and weapons of the border soldiers will naturally be well equipped, and it will no longer be necessary to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall as before.

The house where Ah Yu and the others temporarily lived in the city of Yunzhou was settled in the name of Deng Ao, and he had his own property in many cities, although he may not have been to those places, but the house deed and title deed were available. Every year, a large sum of silver taels is spent on the maintenance of houses in various places.

He was really a rich man.

Ah Yu chose a wing room in the west, because of the experience of being brought back by Deng Ao last time, she also stumbled to clean up the room by herself this time.

Only then did he find a clean quilt from the cabinet and spread it on top of the cleaned bed, Ah Yu looked at the clean side room and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

When she walked out of the door, it was getting late, and she was about to ask the people in the courtyard how to eat at night, but who knew that she only saw Deng Shuang in the courtyard.

"Huh! What about the big brother who sent us just now? Did he go out to buy us food? ”

Taverns in Kyoto allow you to take out food, but you need to send someone to pick it up, and they won't deliver it to your door.

Just when Ah Yu thought that the tavern in Yunzhou Mansion City was the same, he heard Deng Shuang say, "Oh, he has already gone back." ”

A few simple words, but Ah Yu frowned.

She looked at Deng Shuang, her face full of disbelief: "Then there are only two of us in the yard now?" ”

After being picked up from the side of the grove last time, although I also need to take care of my daily life, I have someone to help wash my clothes, and some people have people deliver meals to the door three times a day, which is not the same thing as the need to do it completely by myself now!

Deng Shuang nodded.

She looked up at the room behind her, and from her vantage point she could see that it was cleaned up.

"He left the silver two just now, saying that there are still many things to do after we go back, and there is definitely no need to worry about our safety in the state capital, and he also pointed out the direction of the tooth shop, let us hire people ourselves."

However, although the selection of subordinates is indeed a skill that the wife of the family should learn, Ah Yu and Deng Shuang in this mansion, one is still young, and she has not had time to learn these on weekdays, and the other age is enough, but when she should learn these skills, she thinks about how to take revenge on the person who has a bad heart all day long, and she will not either.

After the two looked at each other, they felt that things should not be too complicated.

Ah Yu touched the small purse on his waist and whispered: "Actually, I still have some silver taels on me, so if you don't go back, you can directly ask the people from the restaurant to bring the food over." As for the clothes on weekdays, it should be okay to wash them yourself. ”

She nodded affirmatively, and added: "I saw a well in the yard, and I can fetch water directly from the well, but I don't have to go out to buy water like in Kyoto." ”

Deng Shuang paused, when she was a child, because there was a well at home, she thought that other families were the same, and they could fetch water at home. Later, after meeting Le Yan, I learned that some people didn't even have a well, and they needed to spend money to buy water for daily food and drink, so it was no wonder that others would say that Kyoto was big and it was not easy to live.

Why did you think of him again?

She shook her head, and when Ah Yu looked at her suspiciously, she chuckled: "Instead of worrying about how to wash the clothes, I think Ah Yu should go out with me first to buy two changes of clothes!" When they took us out today, they didn't have any luggage for us. ”

When I go out on weekdays, I have someone to help pack my luggage.

Ah Yu only needs to say what she thinks when they ask, and she never needs to pack her own luggage.

No, until now, she didn't think about the luggage, if it wasn't for Deng Shuang's mention of changing clothes, she would probably have to wait until the evening to find out that there was no change of clothes.

Rubbing his cheeks, Ah Yu rubbed to Deng Shuang's side: "Aunt Deng, why don't we come here first and list all the things that we haven't prepared, and we won't have to go back and forget anything." ”

"I don't think there's anything else to prepare!" Deng Shuang thought about it carefully, and when she turned her head, she saw that the ground in the courtyard was full of dead branches and leaves, and she was suddenly startled: "I almost forgot." This is the state capital, not the Yamashita Courtyard like before, and you still need to buy some firewood. ”

Don't look at what they are talking about at this time, in fact, their hearts are full of uncertainty.

Finally, the two looked at each other, thinking that they might as well go to the inn for a few days, so that someone could help prepare the daily water and change of clothes, instead of doing everything in this empty mansion, they needed to do it themselves.

But because of their own face problems, no one took the lead in speaking out, but they all put on an appearance of courage to face difficulties and obstacles.

In addition to selling cloth, cloth farms usually sell some finished clothes.

Although Ah Yu had never been to Yunzhou Prefecture, her brother had lived here for a while, and in his letter to Ah Yu, he also talked about the layout of the city.

Of course, even if Ah Yu can memorize all Wen Huan's original words, she doesn't know which road she should turn on.

So she obediently followed behind Deng Shuang, originally to find a local to ask for directions, but the passers-by all lowered their heads, and once they found that someone wanted to get on the front line, they ran faster than anyone else.

They had been out for a while, but they still couldn't find someone to ask for directions, so they had to follow a path down, maybe they could get to where they wanted to go.

Seeing that the sky is getting darker and darker, it is almost time for curfew.

Ah Yu and Deng Shuang not only didn't find their cloth village, but they didn't even find a restaurant, and the two of them were so hungry that they couldn't even find their way back.

Leaning against the wall at the entrance of the alley, Ah Yu touched his stomach and looked at Deng Shuang aggrievedly: "Aunt Deng, I can't walk." ”

After all, the little girl is an ordinary person who has not learned martial arts, and it is already a rare thing to be able to follow Deng Shuang for more than an hour.

Deng Shuang also felt a trace of tiredness.

She squinted to the east, where there was a building that was much higher than the other houses, and she didn't know what it was used for.

If she jumped on the roof of that building with light skills at this moment, she would be able to collect most of the layout of Yunzhou Mansion City at the moment, and combined with what Wen Huan wrote in his letter, it should be very easy to find Buzhuang.

No matter how bad it is, she can quietly follow the direction of the city gate, and follow the route they came from the city gate again, and then they can walk back to the courtyard that Deng Ao arranged for them.

It's just that she can jump on the roof by herself, but she can't take Ah Yu with her.

If Ah Yu is left here, but she can't find a way back, it won't be because of a small loss.

Deng Shuang shook his head, stretched out his hand and patted Ah Yu's shoulder, and said, "Let's go further, maybe we can see the restaurant at the next intersection." ”

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in his ears, and it dissipated lightly in the wind.

Le Yan raised his hand and made a gesture of silence, so that all the subordinates beside him closed their mouths and listened carefully to the sound coming from the wind.

Is it because he misses the frost too much, so he has auditory hallucinations?

After holding his breath and concentrating, he didn't hear a familiar voice anymore, Le Yan couldn't help but sigh, and he didn't know what Bullying was doing at this moment.

He didn't worry about the safety of the deception, after all, he was a powerful person who could still escape under the siege of the king's masters. He was just worried that Frost Bullying had brought an oil bottle, and the oil bottle would affect his family.
