Chapter 165: Escorting Disaster Food
Chu Xiao got up and took her over, and made some arrangements, "Junjun, your father is in danger now, there is no one in the family, your two sisters are married, and your father doesn't want them to know and worry, now that you know, you should go back to the house to accompany General Ye, and we will take care of the grain." ”
Yao Yuran also felt reasonable when he heard it, people need to be accompanied by their relatives the most when they are vulnerable, and when such a thing happens, General Ye's safety is in danger, and he needs backing the most.
She walked over and took Ye Junjun's hand, wiped away the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of her eyes, and comforted her softly.
"You are angry, but General Ye will always be your father, this matter insults his innocence, and the situation is serious, go back to accompany him, you can also get rid of a lot of suffering!"
When Ye Junjun heard this, he no longer insisted on protecting the food, but only worried, "Sister Yao! Then you must keep the disaster grain, as long as the disaster food is safely delivered to the yamen, my father will report to the emperor, and everything will be solved! ”
"Okay, Sister Yao will definitely do her best to keep the disaster food!" Yao Yuran made a promise to Ye Junjun, and the next second, he saw her suddenly plunge into Chu Xiao's arms, her face full of guilt.
Seeing that she was so sudden, Chu Xiao stretched out his hand to hug her and said with relief, "Junjun, don't worry too much, Mrs. Zhao and I are both good at martial arts, and if we bring some of our subordinates, those disaster grains will definitely be able to keep them, this matter is related to General Ye's innocence, we will not be negligent." ”
"I'm not here for this, Chu Xiao, I just feel so sorry for you, my father hurt you with such a serious thing this morning, you don't mind, and you are willing to do these things for him, I will definitely tell him what you have done, so that he can look at you again!" Ye Junjun hugged Chu Xiao tighter, and said with a touched face.
Chu Xiao smiled with relief, pulled her body out of his arms, and didn't mind, "Don't worry, I didn't care about this, General Ye is doing this for your own good, I can understand it, and I believe that I can impress him one day." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and hugged each other stickily, endlessly exuding sweetness, which made someone's heart tickle.
Zhao Hengzhi glanced at Yao Yuran, and when he saw her looking at this scene, he smiled with an aunt, and secretly walked to her side, and also tried to say, "Lady, I also want to have a kiss and hug and hold it high!" ”
"Believe it or not, I'll give you an over-the-shoulder throw?" Yao Yuran squinted his eyes and asked coldly.
Seeing that she was so puzzled, Zhao Hengzhi knew that she had done such a ridiculous behavior, and hurriedly shook his head like a rattle.
"No need for the lady, I'll just eat their dog food!"
Yao Yuran was satisfied and commanded him, "It's good to know each other, what are you still doing in a daze?" Hurry up and arrange for your subordinates, do you want to get the disaster food? ”
Zhao Hengzhi was stopped, looking aggrieved, but he could only retract his thoughts, and this remark also woke up Chu Xiao and Ye Junjun, who were hugging and hugging, and they looked embarrassed and immediately separated.
Chu Xiao escorted Ye Junjun to the entrance of the Yamen Mansion, and watched her get into the carriage, and the two of them still had a reluctant look.
"Junjun, all the way, go back and accompany General Ye well."
"Okay, Xiao Xiao, take care of yourself!"
Two people
is so sticky and greasy, so that Yao Yuran, who came behind him, couldn't help but shudder, only felt that men and women in love were too good at taking everything seriously, and now that General Ye was framed, the stakes were very high, how could they still be in the mood to give up on each other.
"Don't look at Lord Chulou, the monarch has a simple temperament, you should also realize that the situation is more than that simple, I'm afraid ...... General Ye wants to explain to the emperor, and it is difficult to explain this matter clearly! ”
Seeing that the carriage was gradually moving away, Yao Yuran tapped Chu Xiao's shoulder with a fan and reminded him.
At this time, Yao Yuran had abandoned her women's dress in order to facilitate the food protection on the way, dressed in a light white robe, and switched gender to go into battle.
"I know!" Chu Xiao finally came back to his senses from his reluctance, and his face was solemn.
"Prime Minister Wen is highly valued by the emperor, and General Ye has repeatedly defeated battles in recent years, if the two of them speak at the same time to protect their innocence, it is clear who the emperor will choose to believe."
"Looks like you know what to do!" Yao Yuran said with relief, looking at the carriage that had already driven away, and was melancholy.
"This matter will definitely make things happen in the General's Mansion, both pity General Ye and pity Junjun, if she knows that her father will be speechless in the court, she must be very sad."
Even Chu Xiao sighed and said what was in his mind.
"I just pretended to be calm on the surface, but I just want Junjun to go back all the way to rest assured, before the matter is decided, it is best not to let her have any worries!"
"I know, you don't want her to worry about anything!" Yao Yuran guessed it through, and felt unhappy for Ye Zhenyuan in his heart.
"Wen Zhili, that old fox, is really sinister and cunning, I haven't seen such a bad person in reality, such dirty behavior, you can go to play "Palace Scheming"."
"What is the palace scheming?" Chu Xiao asked puzzled.
Yao Yuran realized that he had said so many incomprehensible words out of anger, and he was busy beating Ma Ha to change the topic.
"It's nothing, it's just to describe that the people are quite scheming, this time Prime Minister Wen planted the stolen disaster grain to General Ye, and he must be afraid that one day he will find out on his head, so he will find the incredible reason and splash the dirty water out, I really pity General Ye, I hope he has a natural appearance and ability to prove his innocence."
"I hope so!" Chu Xiao echoed, and did not continue to investigate what the palace scheming was, but the worry in his eyes was a little deeper than Yao Yuran's.
"Lady, let's go!"
Zhao Hengzhi's voice came from behind him, and the two turned around together, and saw that the people accompanying him were Yue Yiyi, Shen Yuhong, Ah Da Ah Er, and some Yamen subordinates.
Knowing that Ye Junjun's father had an accident, Yue Yiyi and Shen Yuhong also wanted to help.
Shen Yuhong also said to Yao Yuran with a little blame, "Master, this matter is very important, why didn't you tell us, if it wasn't for Lord Zhao, we wouldn't be able to do our part, plus us, even if we encounter vicious gangsters on the road, we have a better chance of winning." ”
"I'm afraid that it will not be a gangster, but someone with ulterior motives!" Zhao Hengzhi frowned and said, everyone knew who he was referring to.
Yao Yuran didn't want to be numb
Annoyed Shen Yuhong Yue Yiyi, after all, this matter has nothing to do with them, but seeing that both of them wanted to lend a hand, they gave up, smiled at them and said, "Then let's go!" ”
I heard that everyone was deliberately ready to go, and Zhao Hengzhi wanted to lead the way, but was stopped by Yao Yuran with his hand, and asked with raised eyebrows, "What are you doing?" ”
Zhao Hengzhi responded casually, "Lady, what are you talking about, isn't this obvious, I am the county magistrate, responsible for the storage of disaster grain, of course, I am following the road to escort the grain, this is the responsibility, I must make a contribution." ”
After speaking, Zhao Hengzhi's steps were about to step out of the threshold, "You stop!" But Yao Yuran blocked it with his feet and hands, although he was worried, he still looked at his husband like an idiot.
"You don't know any martial arts, and the injury on your buttocks is just right, and the matter of protecting the food will be up to us, so don't mix it up blindly, rest well in the yamen, and we will transport the disaster grain back safely."
"Don't, lady, although I don't know martial arts, I also want to protect you, so let me follow with me, in case something happens to you, I can drag you back." Zhao Hengzhi pleaded, but was glared at by Yao Yuran in displeasure.
"What do you say? How can something happen to me at my level of martial arts, don't help me, stay! ”
"Forget Mrs. Zhao, let Lord Zhao follow along, he also wants to do his part to leave a good reputation, it's not too early, we can't delay the time to protect the food, the heart is one step ahead, and all the preparations will fall short."
Just when the two were arguing, Chu Xiao opened his mouth to speak for Zhao Hengzhi.
Yao Yuran also knew the severity, and no longer dwelled up, but just let Zhao Hengzhi follow closely behind him, and was plotted against on the road.
Seeing that he had the opportunity to go on the road together, Zhao Heng was overjoyed, and showed a grateful look towards Chu Xiao, Chu Xiao wanted to help Ye Zhenyuan escort the disaster grain to the county mansion, but he didn't notice his look, and Zhao Hengzi could only laugh twice to hide his embarrassment.
On the outskirts of Beijing, the wheels of the carts cut across the muddy roads, making a heavy rolling sound, while at the same time, the panting of the cart pullers and the rustle of leaves in the wind were heard.
Ye Zhen sent a total of fifty strong men to transport the disaster grain to the lost city, and the halfway down was quite smooth, and he did not encounter anyone who tried to rob the disaster food.
Yao Yuran and the others also secretly guarded all the way, and they did not find any hidden gangsters around.
A group of people hid in the bushes, secretly watched the delivery of disaster grain, 300 bags of rice were loaded in 20 carts, the team pulled a long length, one after another, in order to prevent the grain bags from leaking, the grain guards were also very cautious and slow, from time to time to check a few eyes, as if missing a grain of rice, Ye Zhenyuan could not get rid of the planting.
The smooth progress of the road made Zhao Heng's voice complain.
"Lady, do you think it's because we're too careful? After being escorted for a long time, no villains appeared, maybe there would be no movement on Prime Minister Wen's side at all! ”
"Why don't you go back?" Yao Yuran responded unceremoniously, Zhao Hengzhi saw that her expression was wrong, and hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, "Don't, lady, I said that I would escort the disaster food and protect you, how can you."
If you don't believe in your words, you will go back? ”
"Then shut up for me, don't talk about these useless things, my heart is sailing a ship of ten thousand years, you know?" Yao Yuran reminded sharply, dissatisfied with Zhao Hengzhi's casualness.
Zhao Hengzhi immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, the lady is right, she has a clever opinion!" After saying that, he was sleepy and yawned.
I heard Yao Yuran say again, "Talk less and do more, in case there is a good thing, this disaster grain cannot be delivered, are you really willing to pay the thousand taels?" ”
Zhao Hengzhi shook his head violently, to be honest, he didn't want to do it too much, let anyone post the thousand taels upside down, this was his dereliction of duty as a county magistrate.
Looking at the husband who had not closed his mouth when he yawned, Yao Yuran reached out and automatically closed him, and reminded, "Don't make a sound for people to hear, so as not to startle the snake!" ”
Zhao Hengzhi finally shut up and no longer complained.
They followed secretly all the way, but they just wanted to catch the thief off guard, if it was someone sent by Prime Minister Wen and left a living testimony, Ye Zhenyuan would not be at a loss.
They continued to follow quietly, and they had already followed all the way to the outskirts of Micheng, and they sighed as they watched the people transporting the grain, and they were extremely tired.
The brother who led the grain transportation also waved his hand in a timely manner, and shouted loudly, "Everyone is fortunate, now it is almost dark, when it is time for dinner, take out the dry food to eat, rest for a while and continue to hurry, today we have to rush overnight, be sure to send the disaster grain to the Yamen of Micheng County as soon as possible, and return the general to a clean slate." ”
Hearing this, the younger brother who was transporting the grain stopped his pace, and finally had a chance to breathe, perhaps he was too tired, someone pulled the cart to the side of the road, and began to sit on the ground, leaning on the trunk of the tree and devouring the dry food, thinking that he could spare half an hour to rest.
Yao Yuran and his group also began to hide in the dark to eat, the same dry food, chew as much as possible so as not to be discovered, Zhao Hengzhi shook his head and regretted.
"If it weren't for the fact that there was so much disaster food that needed to be carefully cared for, it was estimated that if you rode a horse, you would be able to get to Micheng in half a day, and there are really people under General Lao Ye."
"It doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as the disaster food can be delivered safely, it is more important than anything else!" Chu Xiao took the next sentence and glanced at the group of grain transportation teams.
It is worthy of the subordinates trained by General Ye, even if their dry food is steamed bread and pickles, they don't touch a penny on the cart, and there are dozens of bags of dry food filled with baked meat.
If that group of grain transporters wanted to move and steal a few pieces, no one would find out, but they only gnawed on the coarse tea and light rice they brought.
After the permission of the leader of the grain transport, they could set off after half an hour after eating, and the grain transport brothers were in a hurry to take a break, leaving two guards with their eyes open.
The sky gradually darkened, and in the desolate suburbs, bursts of crows sounded, terrible and loud, causing Yue Yiyi to shrink her neck, she was a little afraid of ghosts, and she had never been in the desolate wilderness.
Seeing this, Shen Yuhong showed manliness, and took her into his arms and comforted her gently, "Don't be afraid, they will light the torch in a while, let's just follow behind!" ”
"Then you have to hold my hand!
Yue Yiyi said shyly, and the fear in her heart had gone a lot.
When he said this, Shen Yuhong held Yue Yiyi's hand with great discernment, and the two snuggled up to each other, making Chu Xiao, a man who had no beauty by his side, feel uncomfortable.
He twisted his head to the side, and looked at Yao Yuran and Zhao Hengzhi, who were sitting alone against a big tree, without stickiness, and were tired together.
Yao Yuran did sit cross-legged leaning on the trunk of the tree, and he was holding a baked cake in one hand and a branch in the other hand to scratch the ground boringly, just waiting for a break to hurry.
However, Zhao Hengzhi wanted to lean over, but he was afraid that Yao Yuran would scold him for not doing his job, so he held back first and pretended to be concerned about the temptation.
"Lady, if you are afraid, you can come to my arms, I can protect you!"
After speaking, Zhao Hengzhi also deliberately opened his hands to hint, showing his masculinity, but he didn't think that after Yao Yuran took a bite of the baked cake, he simply refused, "No need, I'm a leopard guts, what are you afraid of!" ”
"Oh! It seems that he is worried about his husband! Zhao Hengzhi said with a slight loss, and like Chu Xiao, looking at the sweetness of Shen Yuhong's pair, his heart was not a taste.
Yao Yuran saw his aggrieved look like a daughter-in-law, bit off the last bite of the baked cake, threw away the branch by the way, patted the oil stains in his hand, and opened his hand to give Zhao Hengzhi a chance.
"Although I'm not afraid of any bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, if you're afraid, come to me, and I'll protect you!"
"Okay girl!" Zhao Hengzhi suddenly looked happy, unwilling to miss this great opportunity, and moved his body to Yao Yuran's side, but instead of hiding in her arms, he directly hugged her and said proudly, "Lady, let your husband protect you!" ”
The two couples at the scene were showing affection, Chu Xiao looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees, so sad that he couldn't help himself, thinking about how good it would be if Ye Junjun was there, I don't know if the relationship with Ye Zhenyuan has eased a little after she returned home.
Just as everyone had let down their guard and rested for a while, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, getting closer and closer, and at the same time a rough voice sounded.
"Someone! I'll take all this food, and don't have any left! ”
