Chapter 647: Escape
It only took more than three days to reach Daliang, but there was still a distance from the capital of Daliang, and the news of their return Zhou Linmo naturally made people spread the news, and Qin Tianze must have made people talk about the situation quickly.
"Prime Minister, I wonder if the grain and grass are ready?" A day after Zhou Linmo arrived in the capital, the emperor who was responsible for the preparation of grain and grass was also handed over to the prime minister, and he did not mean to see Zhou Linmo, Zhou Linmo did not want to enter the palace to see the emperor, and he still needed to salute in the province.
The prime minister looked embarrassed at this time, and said to Zhou Linmo: "Last time, Deputy General Jiao took a batch away, and we also knew that there was danger on the way, this time the military division came over again, how can the grain and grass be prepared so easily, besides, the military division, don't blame me for not listening to what I say, what if I am attacked again on the way?"
As soon as he heard this, Zhou Linmo's face changed, "Is this the reason why the prime minister doesn't give grain and grass?" Do you want me to make trouble in front of the emperor? Or do you want the people of this big beam to know that the prime minister turned out to be such a person? ”
"Strategist, I don't mean that, I just let the strategist wait for a few days, and the strategist will have more people in front of the emperor, and it will be safer in the rest of the journey." The prime minister immediately said that he was really afraid that Zhou Linmo would go to the emperor.
"It turns out that the prime minister will take a few days, but the prime minister, I really don't need people, it's not good to be too eye-catching!" Zhou Linmo also calmed down, there was no need for him to be angry with the prime minister in front of him.
Seeing that Zhou Linmo was not so angry, he was relieved, he really did not lie to Zhou Linmo, it takes time to raise grain and grass, otherwise the people will complain, what is collected must be within the scope of their acceptance, and the grain in the treasury can only be used when it is really special.
"I'm in charge of preparing food and grass, and as for other things, I won't interfere, I believe that the military advisor has his own opinions." After the prime minister finished speaking, he left.
Zhou Linmo did not go back to his mansion, but went to the general's mansion, and Qin Tianze came to him the night before they left, telling him that there were people in the general's mansion who helped him.
"The person that the general prepared for the military division is inside." The housekeeper naturally also received Qin Tianze's news, and quietly said something in Zhou Linmo's ear.
Zhou Linmo also said loudly: "Butler, can this general's mansion be cleaned up properly?"
Of course, he was hiding from others, and he didn't want anyone to know what he was doing in the General's Mansion, he just wanted to tell others that he was just coming to see it.
"The military advisor must also want to see here, please inside." As an old man in the General's Mansion, he is not a fool, so he naturally understands what Zhou Linmo wants to express, so he greets Zhou Linmo with a smile.
Zhou Linmo walked in, and there were twenty people waiting inside.
"It turned out to be the general's secret guard!" Zhou Linmo had seen several people before, and it seemed that Qin Tianze was quite concerned about his life.
"Strategist, we will change our clothes and quietly mix in your team, the general asked me to convey a word to you, if you lose the grain and grass, you will lose it, and save your life for me."
Hearing the secret guard say this, Zhou Linmo was still quite moved, and after a brief exchange with them, he went home, and Xie Linger was still waiting for him at home.
"I'm back, have the grain and grass been left? Are we going to leave for it again? When Xie Ling'er saw him come back, she immediately asked.
Zhou Linmo thought about it and persuaded him to add more people, and Qin Tianze sent him another twenty people, I am afraid that this trip is really dangerous, and he suddenly didn't want Xie Ling'er to go back with him.
"Ling'er, I don't want you to go back with me, you stay at home, I don't worry, I'm very selfish, I don't want you to be in danger." Zhou Linmo said this to Xie Ling'er very seriously this time.
Hearing Zhou Linmo's words, Xie Ling'er didn't get angry, of course she could understand that Zhou Linmo was for her safety, but she didn't need it.
"Linmo, do you know how lonely it is to wait alone? I don't want to wait for you to come back in fear, I want to accompany you to face the difficulties, and you don't mention these words in the future, okay? Xie Linger also said this to Zhou Linmo very seriously.
Zhou Linmo stood in place, did not answer, but was struggling in his heart, and then responded, "If you can survive in a dangerous time, you must live, don't worry about what will happen to me." ”
Xie Ling'er nodded obediently.
In two or three days, the prime minister also prepared all the grain and grass, and waited for Zhou Linmo to take over and leave.
"It seems that the Prime Minister's efficiency is not slow!" Zhou Linmo doesn't have such a good temper with the prime minister, but his words are not sarcastic.
Of course, he knew that he would need food and grass twice in a row, and it was indeed necessary to prepare.
"It looks like the military advisor is about to set off." The prime minister looked at the hundreds of people behind Zhou Linmo, he really felt that such a lineup was a bit small, and there were not enough manpower, so it would be troublesome if he encountered danger.
"Well, we'll just go, the prime minister doesn't have to send it." Although Zhou Linmo said so, the prime minister still sent them out of the city gate, and after standing at the city gate for a while, he shook his head and went home.
Zhou Linmo walked a distance with the people, and said to everyone: "This trip is very dangerous, maybe we must be prepared to sacrifice, and we must also maintain a good mental state."
"Understood." The others immediately spoke to show that they understood.
Hearing such a powerful answer, Zhou Linmo also led the people to continue to set off.
"There is another team of people transporting grain and grass, don't you know that there is no return?" The manpower arranged by Duan Youshu also appeared on the road, and there were only 100 people.
"Have you gone or not? I'm going to see how it's gone. Zhou Linmo was not afraid, and the others protected him behind him, after all, he was not very good at martial arts.
There were twenty secret guards inside, and naturally it was not so easy to deal with, and the two sides were deadlocked, and they couldn't see that they could deal with them, so they all withdrew.
After several waves came one after another, half of them were killed and wounded, and the grain and grass were hidden by Zhou Linmo.
"You have all seen the situation now, at the moment we are going to escape, so that they don't find us, this is a letter, you can send a letter to the general, change into clean clothes, and not attract attention."
Zhou Linmo knew that it would be difficult to transport the grain and grass back, so he could only do this in front of him, let one person deliver the letter, and he took the others to continue to evade the pursuit, and he did escape in front of him.
