Chapter 66: A Sudden Change
He was even sent a list of trustworthy people at the stations along the way.
It is necessary to ensure that this grain and grass is delivered to General Xiao safe and sound, and there must be no mistakes.
Lord Zhang carefully hid the list in his breast pocket, and then cautiously clenched his fist at Lord Liu.
"Don't worry, Lord Liu, I will definitely be extra cautious in this matter, and I ask Lord Liu not to tell others about this news for the time being."
"Of course," Lord Liu bowed.
"But if you meet Master Gu, you can tell him directly, this matter of transporting grain and grass has been replaced, if he wants to mention it, just say that His Majesty agrees. The Prime Minister did report this to His Majesty. ”
"Yes, I know it all." Lord Zhang arched his hand at Lord Liu again, and then went back first.
However, as soon as he reached the road, he noticed a rather ornate carriage speeding towards him from a distance.
Mr. Zhang usually doesn't travel much in a carriage, but today he gave up riding because his foot was twisted.
As a result, the coachman driving the carriage did not expect a carriage to suddenly appear at the bend in front of him, and immediately tightened the reins.
The horse let out a somewhat terrible neigh, and the four hooves kicked the ground several times in succession, before finally they stopped.
After such a bump in the carriage, the whole person directly turned around in the carriage.
When he lifted the curtain in some annoyance, he found that the carriage on the opposite side had stopped in front of him, revealing a rather familiar face from the curtain.
Gu Jun also experienced a little bump in the carriage just now, and after opening the curtain of the carriage at this moment, he couldn't help but scold.
"Who are you? Don't have long eyes? Driving a carriage can also go staggering! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, this lord! Obviously, your carriage suddenly came around the bend, and I have avoided it in time, what do you want? ”
The coachman hired by Master Zhang was a little impatient, and when he saw that the adult in the carriage opposite actually scolded him directly without asking, he immediately refuted it without hesitation.
"Who are you? How dare you refute what Lord Ben said? ”
After Gu Jun got off the carriage angrily, he couldn't wait to kick the coachman off the carriage with one kick.
But because he was not very tall, and the coachman held the reins firmly in his hand, and did not look like he was going to come down, the two were in a stalemate with each other.
Seeing this, Lord Zhang thought of what Lord Liu said just now, and it seemed that he intended to let Gu Jun drink a good pot, and hurriedly opened the curtain of the carriage.
After seeing Gu Jun, a perfunctory smile appeared on his face, and he said hello lightly.
"Who should I be, I still have some doubts when I suddenly hear such a loud voice. It turned out to be Lord Gu, where is Lord Gu going in such a hurry? ”
"It's Lord Zhang," Finding that the other party was also a colleague who was an official in the court, Gu Jun reluctantly restrained the mockery on his face and replied.
"Of course I'm going to find Lord Liu, didn't I say before that I would be responsible for transporting grain and grass? This is a 100,000-strong matter, and it cannot be delayed! Therefore, just now I asked the coachman to drive the carriage faster, Lord Zhang shouldn't mind, right? ”
"Of course I don't mind." Master Zhang wanted to put a match for Gu Jun, and deliberately commanded the coachman "politely".
"Let's get to the side, didn't you hear Lord Gu say that there was something important? Let's not delay him. ”
"But your lord," the driver ...... a little puzzled.
Didn't Master Zhang just go to see Lord Liu just now? Why does this one have to go, is it possible that the same batch of grain and grass still has to be transported by people?
"Don't ask so much, just get out of the way." When the coachman heard Master Zhang's order, he could only drive the carriage to the side with some depression.
This Gu Jun thought that he was going to transport grain and grass, which shocked Master Zhang, and he was even more proud.
After getting into the carriage, he directly ordered the coachman to run all the way towards Lord Liu's mansion.
Seeing this, the corners of Mr. Zhang's mouth hooked up a mocking smile, ignored Gu Jun, and directly asked the coachman to take him back to the house.
As a result, after Gu Jun urged the coachman to hurry all the way to the outside of Lord Liu's mansion, he found that it was quiet outside, and the door was closed tightly.
After Gu Jun jumped down from the carriage, he came to the two little guys at the gate and took the initiative to ask.
"What about your family? I went to report it, saying that the official came to find Lord Liu for something, and my surname is Gu. ”
"Master Gu?" The little guy seems to be a little familiar with this surname, and when he remembered what the adults gave them before going out, he suddenly slapped his head and looked like he suddenly realized.
"Lord Gu is here to ask about transporting grain and grass, right?"
"Of course!" Gu Jun didn't expect that a little guy would know such an important thing, so he immediately straightened his waist proudly and said loudly.
"Get out of the way yet! Since you have commanded it, you must hand over this errand to me, so many soldiers are still waiting for this official, get out of the way! ”
"Your Excellency, you misunderstood." The little guy looked at Gu Jun's tail that was about to reach the sky, and he felt even more amused in his heart.
When Gu Jun looked at them with his nostrils, he immediately poured a basin of cold water on him from beginning to end.
"My lord said that if you come, Lord Gu, I will remind you that His Majesty the official who will transport grain and grass has already been decided. However, it is not you, Lord Gu, it is estimated that there will be specific news to be conveyed tomorrow. Lord Gu is here by mistake today, please go back. ”
"What did you say?" Gu Jun's eyes widened in an instant, and the smug smile on his face couldn't be hung up at all, and he grabbed the collar of the little guy and pulled him in front of him, glaring at him angrily.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The Prime Minister said that he clearly intended me to be an official who transported grain and grass! ”
"Even if it is ordered by the Prime Minister, the holy decree must be promulgated by His Majesty! The adults of our family said that this news is correct, the officials who transported the grain and grass have indeed changed, and Lord Gu is still dead. ”
After the little guy finished speaking, he used his strength to suck the milk, and after unscrewing Gu Jun's hand vigorously, he took two steps back and looked at him with a mocking expression.
"Lord Gu, you are really this hot day, and you came to ask us about transporting grain and grass, now, are you a little discouraged?"
At this moment, Gu Jun deeply realized what it means to suddenly fall from heaven to hell.
What the little guy said just now was like a hammer, constantly hitting his head.
