Autumn is crisp, a gust of autumn wind blows through the treetops, and the yellow leaves on the trees swirl and fall, like dancing butterflies.

The wheels of the carriage swept over the thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, rolling up patches of golden.

"Alas!" A soft sigh came from the carriage, which made Mingmo, who was sitting in front of the car, hook the corners of his mouth.

Sure enough, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift!

Gu Chengyu sat in the carriage all night, and felt that his body was about to fall apart.

He used to take a carriage back and forth between Jingyuan Mansion and Shangling Village, and he didn't feel too tired at that time.

He stretched, lifted the curtains, and looked at the carriage along the way.

"My lord! Shall we rest and come down with some food? Ming Yan in the car saw that Gu Chengyu's expression was a little sluggish, and he couldn't help but suggest.

Gu Chengyu immediately nodded, "It's okay!" Just let Mingmo rest. ”

"Mingmo, just park under that tree! There are no restaurants or tea houses here, so when you go out, you should just do it! ”

Mingmo answered, and drove the carriage towards the big tree in front of him.

"My lord! Lord Gu's carriage stopped, look? One of the attendants shouted into the carriage as he drove the car.

Lu Chen rubbed the corners of his forehead, "They all stopped, we can only wait." ”

Lu Chen was very helpless, Gu Chengyu handed him a letter yesterday, and he had to leave at night.

Although he was dissatisfied with this, he could understand it. Even if the emperor blocks the news, it will always be leaked, right?

If you go early, you can avoid unnecessary trouble.

But the carriage has been on the road all night, how far has it gone?

Lu Chen looked back at the road, and sadly found that if he continued like this, by the time he arrived in Hejian Mansion, the daylilies would be cold.

"Gu Shiyu, we have only traveled such a little distance since we set off last night. At this rate, it will take the Year of the Monkey to reach Hejian Mansion! ”

The entourage put the carriage well, and Lu Chen jumped out of the carriage.

He saw that Mingmo had already spread a thick velvet blanket on the ground, and there were a lot of ingredients on it. There was also a small tandoor next to it that was steaming, and the corners of my mouth twitched.

Are they here for an autumn tour, or are they here to grab a treasure map?

Gu Chengyu secretly rolled his eyes, he didn't seek a position before, he had a mouthful of Jinyu, and he called them as if they were quite familiar.

But now that he has only been a commander for a long time, he has called his official position, and it is called a smooth one.

"Lord Lu, let's go day and night, are you still too slow? They can't bear it, and it's even more dangerous to travel at night. ”

Gu Chengyu is not in a hurry, he went so early, and the whereabouts of the treasure map have not yet been figured out, is it possible that he still has to spend time to find out the news?

Naturally, we have to wait until everyone's battle reaches the end of the day, and then we will go to the horizontal bar, wouldn't it save time and effort?

Lu Chen took a deep breath, "This time we have a great responsibility, but Master Gu is not in a hurry at all. ”

He sighed and sat down beside Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu smiled faintly, "Is it useful to be anxious?" Lord Lu is sincere in his meritorious service, and the lower officials can understand. But if we go in such a hurry, won't we become lambs who have strayed into the wolves? ”

Those people haven't done it yet! They just rushed away, isn't that what cannon fodder should do?

Lu Chen was stunned when he heard this, he pondered for a moment, and then put his heart back.

This was the first time he had received such an important errand, and he naturally wanted to make meritorious contributions, so his heart was so eager, for fear that he would mess up this errand.

But now that he has been mentioned by Gu Chengyu, he also knows that this matter is in a hurry now.

Gu Chengyu saw that the other party had figured it out, so he no longer urged, and he no longer persuaded him.

He knew that Lu Chen's heart was so anxious that he lost his normal heart. But who is Lu Chen? He just had to click and stop.

However, Lu Chen is in such a hurry to go to Hejian Mansion, will he have other plans?

I hope Lu Chen won't hold himself back this time, otherwise don't blame himself for being polite.

Gu Chengyu's gaze swept over Lu Chen, who was drinking hot soup, and saw that Lu Chen had regained his former calmness, as if the person who was eager just now was not him.

"Childe, there is Hejian Mansion ahead!" Ming Yan looked at the long queue in front of him and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although from the capital to Hejian Province, if you travel quickly, day and night, you may be able to reach your destination in less than three days.

But in the past three days, Gu Chengyu and the others have walked for seven days.

Gu Chengyu and the others honestly lined up at the gate of the city, and the road was calm, and there were no emergencies.

Gu Chengyu felt that even if King Jing knew that he had come to Hejian Mansion, it would be impossible for him to start so quickly.

After all, Lu Chen was also involved, Lu Chen was sent by the emperor to protect and monitor him, and if King Jing wanted to deal with him, he would inevitably attack Lu Chen.

With Lu Chen here, King Jing couldn't be ambushed on the road so quickly.

In order to conceal their identity, Mingmo and they still called Gu Chengyu their son.

Gu Chengyu watched the crowd entering the city moving slowly in front of him, but he was thinking about how to get rid of Lu Chen in his heart.

He didn't know the details of the treasure map, but he had sent someone to inquire about the three major families of Hejian Mansion.

Before, he still had the manpower to inquire about the news in Hejian Mansion, but the manpower was limited, and he didn't know if Guo Moruo had any news there that he could use.

If Lu Chen had been following him, wouldn't it be dangerous if Guo Mo and them were discovered?

After all, the Guo family is full of beheadings, and Guo Moruo and her two younger brothers should not have survived. If he is discovered by Lu Chen, he will have to affect himself at that time.

Besides, King Jing originally wanted to recruit himself, maybe after he knew about this, he would threaten himself with the lives of the Guo brothers and sisters.

"Let's find an inn to stay in first!" After entering the city, Lu Chen jumped into Gu Chengyu's carriage.

Gu Chengyu shook his head, "It's not very convenient to enter and exit the inn, and it's easy to be targeted." Let's rent a small courtyard and settle down for the time being. ”

People come and go in the inn, not only to take care of the property, but also to be cautious when entering and leaving. It is much more convenient to find a small hidden yard.

Lu Chen nodded in agreement, "Then so be it!" Let your entourage rent a yard, after all, we're going to live here for a while. ”

Lu Chen took the tea bowl on the table and took a sip, and Gu Chengyu frowned slightly.

This second son of Lu is too unparticular, this is obviously his own tea bowl.

Gu Chengyu made up his mind that this tea bowl would be thrown away later.

Tonight is not the night of the full moon, and the crescent moon on the horizon glows faintly.

Two black shadows swept over the roof, and in the faint moonlight, only two afterimages could barely be seen.

The black shadow at the front can cross a roof with just one jump.

The shadow came to a quiet village and stopped in front of a small courtyard with two entrances.

Gu Chengyu raised his chin to Mingmo on the side, and motioned for Mingmo to knock on the door. I want to talk with more like-minded people about "The Road to the Peasant Family's Fortune and Prosperity", and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
