Before the words fell, the deer hunter landed lightly on the ground behind the two of them.

"Back to Zhuozhou?" Li Yiru Meichuan lightly locked, "I ...... I can't-"

"Listen to the second brother's persuasion, when did the second brother lie to you." Bai Ling said softly, "Postpone your trip to Jingzhou for three months." ”

"I'm not here for this, I won't go to Jingzhou again at this time - if the second brother feels that it is dangerous here and it is necessary to leave, why don't you go with me?" Li Yiru said, "Since your family and friends are in Jingzhou, then we might as well be together next year-"

"It's not that I won't go." Bai Ling said softly, "I haven't finished the matter yet, in short, you pack your bags first." ”

With that, Bai Ling got up and turned to the deer hunter, "Can you please do me another favor?" ”

"Please."

"Can you send me to Shao Kuan's Shao County Commander's tent silently tonight?"

The deer hunter didn't answer, just smiled a little wider.

……

Early the next morning, the main road looking at the east gate was already full of people waiting to leave the city, whether fleeing the famine or migrating, this kind of thing was not unfamiliar to them.

It's just that for most people, it's the first time to go on the road on such a snowy day.

Originally, it was set to open the city gate and set off at the time of the hour, but now half an hour has passed, and Shao Kuan still has not appeared.

Cao Xun was still sleeping in a daze on the kang head of the government office, and suddenly someone came to report, saying that Shao Kuan had been waiting for more than half an hour at the entrance of the yamen, Cao Xun was a little unhappy, and left the soft quilt tremblingly, changed into an official robe and went out to meet.

"What about people?" He walked through the courtyard of the back office, and saw that there was snow on the ground, and there was no one sitting on a chair in the place where the guests were entertained.

"It's still at the front of the yamen," replied the servant, "and the Shao county order said that the people were still waiting in the city, and he didn't dare to go into the county ya's high seat to drink tea by himself." ”

"Hmph, I think he just can't get along with this mansion, I know that this mansion is afraid of the cold, and it is a ...... for me to walk a little longer" Cao Xun sneered, "The grasshopper after the autumn, I want to see how long he can jump, and you lead the way." ”

"Yes."

At the entrance of the county government office looking at both ends, Shao Kuan was really standing there, motionless, with a thin layer of snow already falling on his shoulders.

"Lord Shao." Cao Xun stepped forward quite affectionately, "Look at you, this Futai originally wanted to send you and the people who looked at each other for a ride, but I was worried that it would be too late at this time and I wouldn't be able to catch up, but I didn't expect you to run back to this county yali again...... What's wrong? ”

"There's nothing wrong with that." Shao Kuan didn't raise his eyes, "It's just that last night, Xia Guan thought about the people's way to move north all night, and felt that it was a bad idea for everyone to go on the road together, so he redrafted a plan to take the people away——"

"It's useless to procrastinate, Shao Kuan." Cao Xun's voice lowered, "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?" Be good and don't push me. ”

"Governor Cao, I also made it clear to you," Shao Kuan's eyes were a little resolute and cold, "After all, I am a two-headed parent official, if I am really forced to a dead end by you, I will not care about anything, the big deal is that we will die in the net, let Jingzhong also take a good look at your face of excluding dissent...... Risking the lives of my whole family and blocking the way for Lord Cao to enter the cabinet in the future, Shao should still be able to do it. ”

Cao Xun laughed.

"There is only so much food, and it has dragged on for a long time, if the people want to share the military rations in the city, I will not show the slightest mercy."

"All five days...... No, the four days' food, the lower officials understand. Shao Kuan said softly, "I won't take one more grain from the city to go, but I have to go out of the city in batches, and the latest batch can also be on the road tomorrow night, so it won't delay too much." ”

"That's fine. Lord Shao loves the people like a son, and he is very moved by this house. ”

Cao Xun stroked his round abdomen, smiled and watched Shao Kuan disappear into the corner with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The scene in front of him really made him find it funny.

"By the way, my lord," the servants gathered around, "Wang Meng sent someone from there, saying that from today onwards, every day at noon, I will have a pair with you about the situation of the day......

Cao Xun glanced at the servant, "Tell Vice General Wang that I don't understand the war, but it's easy to say how to cooperate, and all the music that has been seen from both ends will be copied to Wang Meng's barracks." What is the noon of Rausch to the situation...... I'm not going. ”

……

In the evening of this day, the two horses broke through the snow and went straight to the south gate of Zhuozhou Mansion.

Since the beginning of winter, it has been getting darker and earlier, and the time to close the city gate has also been much earlier.

The soldiers defending the city saw two black horses in the snow from a distance, and when they came to the city with their men and horses, the soldiers immediately shouted, "The city gate has been closed!" Come back tomorrow! ”

Two people in the city took off their hoods at the same time, one with black hair and the other with white hair, with a handsome appearance.

The black-haired man looked up and replied, "Excuse me! May I ask if General Chang Sheng is in Zhuozhou Mansion now? ”

"Who are you?"

The mount under the crotch of the black-haired young man was obviously still a little wild, and he was jumping under the city gate at the moment, and the young man was firmly in control of the reins, and he raised his head and replied, "I am Lin Bai, the military doctor of Jingzhou Mansion, and this one next to me is Wei Izuyun, who has also been serving in the Jingzhou Changjia Army all these years——"

The officers and soldiers on the city gate exclaimed for a while, "It's Dr. Lin and Wei Shaoxia!" ”

Before Bai Yi could explain his intentions, the soldier had already poked his head out, "Wait a while, you two, let's go and pass it on!" ”

About a cup of tea later, the south gate of Zhuozhou Mansion opened.

The two dark horses hurried into the city one after the other, and without the slightest delay, they hurried to the east of the city, where Chang Sheng was.

After dismounting, Bai Yi and Wei Shishi did not delay for a moment, and quickly ran to the courtyard, where they met Chang Sheng, who went out to greet them.

"General Chang!" Bai Yi stepped forward in a few steps, and rushed down all the way, both of them were already sweating, the hair on their foreheads was even soaked with sweat, and the whole person was steaming white in the cold night.

Bai Yi's eyes looked behind Chang Sheng—but no one else came out for a long time.

"Why are you here?" Chang Sheng looked at the two of them with some surprise, "Could it be that there has been a change in Jingzhou?" ”

"No, Jingzhou is very good!" Bai Yi quickly replied, "We are here to find someone, and we received a letter from the general in early September, and we couldn't wait, so we rushed over——"

"You guys came all the way from the official road?" Chang Sheng asked with a frown.

Seeing Chang Sheng's serious expression, Bai Yi and Wei Shishi felt ominous in their hearts.

"yes." Wei 14 replied, "From Fuzhou to Yanzhou, we have asked about the Chang family army we met along the way, except for being delayed by gold thieves for a period of time when we were in Yanzhou...... They all said that they had never heard the name Wei Songqing, so they thought it should be in Zhuozhou...... Why, isn't she here? ”

"Wei Songqing should stay with Wang Meng now." Chang Sheng looked at the two people in front of him, "Have you also been to the two ends?" ”
