Let's say that Xu Jizong is full of ambition in this place, and in another place, more than ten miles away, in Jinliangqiao Street in the capital, there are a few horsemen and horses who took advantage of the night to rush into the depths of the alley and stop outside a courtyard.

Several people turned over and dismounted, and a small servant stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Although there is no curfew in the capital, it is already midnight at this time, Jinliangqiao Street is not a busy city, but it is just a place for residents, it is silent, Rao is this little guy tried to relax his hands and feet, the sound is still very abrupt.

The dog who was watching the door on the left could hear the knock on the door, and also barked, and for a while the sound was everywhere.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for someone inside the door to answer, "May I ask who it is?" ”

Before the little guy could answer, the person standing behind him had already heard the voice of the person answering the door, and replied, "Uncle Han, it's me, Rosin Xiang." ”

When the door was opened, the crack was opened with a "squeak", and one arm held the handle of the lantern and poked it out, and then a head came out, and the other head looked carefully outside, and saw that it was indeed a familiar person in the family, so he opened the door wide, and asked, "Why did you arrive so late?" ”

He turned his head again and shouted, "Xiao Yi, get up and help you Brother Rosin lead the horse!" ”

Then he turned around and asked, "But do you want to ask the cook to help you get some food?" ”

Rosin ran all the way, really tired, he asked the hour, heard only a little later, thanked once, handed over the reins in his hand, and then assigned a small servant to follow and said: "Go to the inner courtyard to find a sister and ask, see that the lady is resting." ”

The little guy was about to go out, but the porter said: "Stay, don't ask, Mrs. is not in the house, she has already gone south to Tanzhou!" ”

Rosin Xiang was still thinking about how to reply to the various news heard by this Quanzhou expedition for a while, one foot was stepping out, almost failed to step on it, and was so startled that she barely held on to the door frame, and asked in a lost voice: "What?" Where did Madame go? ”

The porter closed the door, and then replied in a low voice: "There is news from the south, saying that Jiaozhi is surrounding Yongzhou, because the officials are inside, Mrs. took people and went to Tanzhou the month before." ”

When Rosin heard what the other party said, she didn't know how to react for a while, and then asked, "Who is left in the house?" ”

The porter said, "Steward Liao's family sleeps in the second door." ”

Rosin didn't care about the side, hurriedly dressed up, and hurriedly went to the second door.

Steward Liao had already heard the news and came out, and when he saw Rosin, he was also a little confused, and he was chased and asked many questions, but he was only sent to stay here, and he didn't know much about the inside story, so he had to pick up what he knew and answered.

“…… Since I went to the place, there were only two times to send letters over, both of which were sent to Liufu, and the errand came back to live for one night, one time said that Mrs. was in Tanzhou, and the other was in Chenzhou, but I didn't know where it was at this time......"

Rosin listened for a long time, but didn't hear anything related to herself, so she hurriedly asked, "Madame, what do you have to say to me?" ”

Steward Liao shook his head and said: "Mrs. went to Tanzhou from Luoyang, and even the things were picked up by the next people, and I only told me to take out the house in Fengqiumen in exchange for pledge money and ask someone to send it to Tanzhou, and let me take good care of the industry in the capital, guard the door, don't make trouble, and there is no other words." ”

Rosin Xiang returned to Beijing day and night, although he occasionally heard the news that one or two ears had changed in Guangnan and kowtowed, but he never felt that this matter was so serious, let alone had anything to do with his master's family.

In his opinion, his own officials are just going to transfer with the army, and no matter how they fight, they are only fighting in the front, and there is no reason to hit the rear.

Although Rosin Xiang has read books, knows how to read, and has done a lot of errands with Gu Yanzhang, there has never been such a day when no one is leading the way.

Do you stay in the capital, or follow to Chenzhou?

But who knows if Mrs. is still in Chenzhou now!

What if you can chase it and find that there is no one in sight? Is it back in the dust?

But if you don't chase after it, you stay in the capital stupidly and cowardly, and one day the officials think that they are not doing a good job, and they will not take the initiative to worry about the safety of their wife, they only know that they are hiding here and being lazy, where can they be reused in the future! Maybe he will really follow the name and be sent to wipe the strings that have fallen to dust......

This is not going in, not retreating, not going, not staying, just at a loss, but he suddenly felt a heat on his forehead, as if something was dripping from the sky.

- Is it raining?

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to wipe it, but heard the Liao steward on the other side shouting urgently: "Ah, don't move!" How are you standing here? ”

As he spoke, he took a few steps away from him with his hand, and then turned around and shouted, "Little four! Hurry up and get you Brother Rosin a few pieces of confetti paper! ”

Roin Xiang realized that something was wrong, and when she looked up, she saw a big bamboo cage hanging on the eaves, because it was hanging high, and there was no big movement in it, so she didn't notice it.

Right on top of the circle where he was just standing.

The bamboo cage looked very familiar—it was the one that had hung outside the lady's house and contained two fat, white birds!

His whole person was suddenly a little unwell, and when the straw paper was delivered, he wiped it on his forehead, and immediately wiped off the gray and white puddle, which was mixed with water, although it was not a big lump, the taste and appearance were very bad, and it made people's hearts wilt.

Rosin Xiang traveled thousands of miles, running back and forth, thinking that he had done a good job, but he never imagined that when he came back, he was greeted not by his wife's praise, not by the hot soup and hot rice of the aunt in the kitchen, not by the warm care of the servants in the courtyard, but by this bubble of bird!

Steward Liao was also a little sneering, and said: "Madame instructed the subordinates to take care of these two animals, and my Hun family was afraid that these two treasures would be left unattended at night, so they moved outside...... Who would have thought ......"

He added: "In the past, it was not like this, when I saw people, I always avoided them...... I'm afraid that it was dark at this time and I fell asleep before I messed around here. ”

Rosin naturally couldn't say anything for this little thing, and she couldn't blame Liao for being in charge, let alone a stupid beast, even if she was vomiting blood in her heart, she still had to say that there was nothing to do on her face.

He turned his head and went out of the courtyard, and when he was halfway there, he could not help but look back at the two things that he could not see clearly, and went back to the house very uncomfortably, and washed his face five or six times, and rubbed it several times with soap, as if he could smell it.

He waited in the house for two days, and he couldn't wait any longer, counting that there was still a lot of coils left in the past, so he took the original two little guys and went to Chenzhou to find someone with courage.
