Chapter 31: The Strange Traveler
Liu put down his daughter and asked the servant woman to go down with the child first.
"What's going on?" Liu asked, "Didn't my father-in-law say that you should not return to the capital in the future......
"Look." Zhang Jingzhen handed the letter to his wife, and Liu took it and looked back one by one.
When she finished reading the full text, her face was also slightly pale.
"Who is this writer ......?" Ryu asked.
"I don't recognize it." Zhang Jingzhen frowned, "But...... There may be some origins. β
Zhang Jingzhen said, and handed the note to his wife, and then told the story of a few people watching the snow in the Huxin Pavilion in the third year of Shengming.
Liu rarely heard her husband mention his past in Pingjing, and at first he listened with a little curiosity, but he didn't want to hear it, but then he felt a little embarrassed.
"That's ......," Liu lowered his eyes and placed the letter on the stone table, "I originally thought that since the source of this letter is unknown, what he said may not be credible. β
"I also thought of it," Zhang Jingzhen looked at his wife, "but the time, place, and experience in the letter are very clear, I think even if the Huizhou Mansion Yamen has suppressed this matter, there are still clues left, the dart game, the inn, and the village in Qingzhou...... These are all things that can be overt and covertly visited. β
Liu Shi said softly, "Who do you want to present this letter to when you enter Beijing?" β
ββ¦β¦ Haven't figured it out yet. Zhang Jingzhen replied, "You can present it to my father, and he will present it to the emperor, or ...... Presented directly to the emperor. β
Both of them fell silent for a moment, except for the sound of the wind carrying the fallen leaves.
"What do you think, ma'am?" Zhang Jingzhen looked at his wife.
Liu sighed, "I'm not saying that my father-in-law is bad, it's just that ...... Mr. Zhang probably won't have the courage to submit. β
"Why?"
"Master Zhang is in a high position in the temple, and he knows the undercurrent best. Now that the autumn war is coming, everything should also focus on the overall situation. Liu said softly, "I think the same is true for the emperor, if you want to enter Beijing to submit a letter, you can only gamble to see if the emperor regards himself as the monarch of the world, and whether he will feel pity when he sees Li Min suffering innocently." β
Zhang Jingzhen's throat movedβhe did think the same thing, but he couldn't say it.
"'The water is the tears of the people'," Liu said softly, "Sometimes it may not be that you don't know, you know, but you don't care...... It's also something that can't be helped. β
"If he doesn't care, then I'll be back after handing over the letter." Zhang Jingzhen looked at his wife and said with a smile.
Liu didn't smile, just looked at her husband with a faint gaze, "I'll go with you." β
Zhang Jingzhen was stunned for a moment, "You're gone, who will take care of Yuan'er?" β
"Yuan'er put it to her grandmother, and their grandchildren were originally close to her." Liu Shi said in a low voice, "You entered Beijing for no reason, it's too eye-catching, it's better to take me with you." We have been in Jiangzhou for three years, and we just took advantage of this autumn to prepare some Jiangzhou specialties and go to Beijing to meet my father. β
Zhang Jingzhen's heart was shaken, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she had to hold his wife's hand.
"Holding the hand of the son, what more can the husband ask for."
β¦β¦
Bai Ling and Li Yiru waited outside the crowd, and after a while, Mu Cheng squeezed out.
"I see," Mu Cheng said, "It means that the Jiangzhou Mansion Yamen recently received a report that there are several bandits active between Jiangzhou and Zhuozhou's official road, but because the autumn war is approaching, the bandits' haunted trajectories are scattered, so it is inconvenient to send troops to encircle and suppress at the moment, and it is best to live in the city until the spring of next year, when the government will clean up the remnants of bandits on the official road." β
"No wonder you don't let the traveler go alone." Li Yiru understood, he looked at Mu Cheng, "Then let's go find someone to partner with now?" β
Mu Cheng and Bai Ling looked at the tea shop pointed by the officers and soldiers at the city gate before.
To tell the truth, at a glance, there are only a handful of those people who seem to be able to reassure people, and most of them have a bandit-like aura, and they are tied up out of the city with such people, and I don't know if they will be robbed halfway......
However, ordinary people would not have insisted on going north at this time.
"Let's go check it out." Mu Cheng said softly, "There seems to be a partner notice at the tea shop, let's see if there is anyone who can leave today...... Even if we can't get along, it doesn't matter, when we get out of the gate of Jiangzhou Mansion, we can still go alone. β
The three of them had just led their horses to the tea shop, when they were suddenly blocked again.
- It's still the traveler who grabbed Li Yiru.
The man was wearing a gray-white cloak that could no longer be seen in its primary color, and only one face was exposed on the whole body, with a kind expression.
At this moment, there were six or seven more companions leading horses behind him, and they were all wearing cloaks of similar styles, and they did not look like a makeshift team.
The traveler was still smiling as before, "It was abrupt just now. β
Mu Cheng didn't speak, but his left hand was already silently pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
ββ¦β¦ We're just three to ten. The traveler said politely, he raised his hand, and motioned to Bai Ling and the others to look at the horse team behind him, "I just happened to see that you are all leading the horses, and it is convenient to go on the road together, so I came to ask if you have any wishes to go out of the city together." β
"Nope." Without waiting for Mu Cheng to answer, Bai Ling had already spoken first, "We are still waiting for our friends, and we can only go on the road when we are all together." β
The traveler looked a little surprised, and then sighed with a bit of regret, "That's really unfortunate, as soon as I saw the three of them, I felt very eye-catching, and thought that we could go together, who would have thought-"
"Goodbye." Mu Cheng gave up his hand, and without the slightest hesitation, he took Bai Ling and Li Yiru to the tea shop on the other side of the city gate.
Although this was a bit rude, the traveler did not stop him, and several people behind him even took the initiative to lead the horses and make way for the three of Bai Ling.
When the three of them sat down in the tea shop, Li Yiru still looked sideways with some concernβthe horses who were tightly wrapped were still standing at the city gate, looking like they were going to continue to look for people and get people out of the city.
"Why didn't you come with them just now?" Li Yiru looked at Bai Ling and Mu Cheng on the left and right, "Didn't the eldest brother just say that even if we can't get along, we can go out of the city and go alone?" β
"These people...... It feels strange to me. Bai Ling lowered his head to drink tea and said softly, "Does Brother Mu feel the same way?" β
Mu Cheng looked at the table the whole time, and didn't raise his eyes to look to the side, "It's a little weird, it makes people feel uncomfortable when they get close." β
"Well, anyway, let's wait," Bai Ling said softly, she glanced at Li Yiru, "To be on the safe side, let's not have anything to do with this kind of person." β
