Chapter 388: Sending a Letter
It was pouring rain outside, and the roadside shops were noisy and noisy, almost crowded with people. It's been raining for a few days.
Spring rain is as expensive as oil, but for pedestrians, it is a little sticky and inconvenient. Most of the pedestrians in the foot shop are in a hurry, coming in the rain, and some of them don't even take off their clothes, so they sit in the foot shop and eat and drink.
The water on the robe fell to the ground, causing a lot of complaints. Steamed buns, large pieces of meat and pickled vegetables are constantly served, so that the people who are in a hurry can eat enough strength to walk. Usually walking on the road without talking, but now it is rare to have the ability to speak, and the laughter in the foot shop has never been suppressed. Some talk about the short in the family, but the more is what they have seen and heard on the road and recent current events.
"Further on is the ...... of the South-West Province"
"It also rained there for several days before we came from Yunzhou Mansion. After the southwest mansion is the Tianqian Mountain, it is not counted as the territory of my Great Chu, and it is the territory of the Miao people through the Tianqian Mountain......"
The sound of conversation continued, and the girls sitting by the window drank soup and ate while listening to all kinds of chattering around them.
This is almost the farthest place in the territory of Great Chu to the south. The natural danger of the Tianqian Mountain separates Dachu and Miao Jiang. And Miao Jiang does not belong to the territory of Great Chu, not only does it not belong to Great Chu, but the relationship is still somewhat hostile, the biggest reason is that it is rumored that there are many royal family members of the previous dynasty in Miao Jiang.
Miao Jiang witchcraft is prevalent, coupled with the unique talent of the royal family surnamed Liu in the previous dynasty, there are not a few people in the clan who know the secret art of yin and yang. Ordinary people are always afraid when they see this kind of yin and yang secret technique, afraid that something will happen to them without knowing it. It is the land of Miao Frontier, and few people dare to enter it.
"Eh, have you heard? Shen, the richest man in Jiangnan, was instructed to have an accident, ouch, I heard that the silver copied out when he raided his house was almost worth most of the national treasury! ”
"Shen has been the dominant family in Jinling all these years, and no one in Jiangnan Mansion dares to mess with it, do you know who did it?"
"Of course, there is only Jiangnan Pei who no one dares to mess with in Jiangnan, I heard that it was Pei Xiangye's personal order, and His Majesty was furious when the incident happened!"
"Shen was born in the Lu Shang Gang, and originally thought that the Lu Shang Shang Gang was going to be finished, but who expected that this time it was said that there were also people from the Lu Shang Gang who told the secret, and there were many people from the Shang Gang who were implicated."
"Although the current Lu Shang Shang Gang is a little injured, but it will be good to raise it for a few years, and the new chief steward of the Lu Shang Shang Gang is surnamed Yu ......"
……
The girl listened attentively and couldn't help but smile when she heard this. Steward Yu is really a smart person, not only did he leave early, but he also took the initiative to tell the secret, but he did not waste this opportunity. Originally, she planned to take a caravan all the way to this place, but she didn't expect something like that to happen in Jinling, so she went alone. There are advantages to being alone, walking faster, but there are also disadvantages, that is, she is a little tired, and when she enters the southwest mansion, she has to take a good rest and then find a way to walk the Tianqian Mountain into Miaojiang.
After listening to it for a while, these things came and went, and then it was the parents who talked about the mother-in-law and children in the family. This kind of parent is short, she doesn't want to listen to it and doesn't dare to listen to it. It's been more than a month since she left Jinan Mansion, and I don't know how Brother Xie is, she has been away from Chang'an for a long time, and she doesn't know what happened to the people in her family. She didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't have time to think about it. She was very careful when she went out, not to mention that what she had to do was so dangerous that there was no time left for her to think about.
Carrying her burden and umbrella out of the shop, her horse stayed outside, the horse was fed, and some forage and water were hung on the horse's back, and next to the shop was the post station, she hurried into the post house and wrote two letters.
A direct letter was sent to Jinan Mansion, and further on is Southwest Mansion, which is Chen Shan's real base camp, maybe there are not the most soldiers and horses in it, but it is a place that really needs to be careful, and she didn't plan to send letters there. So this will be the last letter I sent before entering Miaojiang. There are a lot of things to be explained. In this line, although she is not too sure, she doesn't dare to say ten, and it is dangerous to do anything, so she has to consider what will happen after she fails. This is also the reason why she took Brother Xie out of Chang'an and sent him to Jinan. Life and death are uncertain about the road ahead, and she always wants to settle down and talk about her brother.
There was another one to be sent to Chang'an, but she did not send it to Chang'an, but to Jinling. Then turn from Jinling to Chang'an. There are too many powerful characters in Chang'an City, she doesn't have the courage to send Chang'an directly, if the letter is robbed by some ill-intentioned people, then she is really putting herself in danger.
After all this, she stepped on the horse, and the rain was still falling, and her face was covered with muddy water, and she was a little embarrassed, as is the case with anyone who is on a rainy day. The girl touched the rain on her face disapprovingly, the end of this official road is the Southwest Mansion, and she should be able to enter the Southwest Mansion before tonight.
Southwest Mansion can be said to be the real base camp of Chen Shan.
Is this considered a lonely tiger? She smiled, grabbed the horse's belly, and galloped away.
……
……
Compared with the martial law of Chang'an City and the extravagance of Jinling, Jinan Mansion is extraordinarily peaceful. Song Er walked on Pingkang Street, went to the shop on the street to buy oil spins, and walked leisurely towards the old house of the Zhang family.
This day is really leisurely, leisurely and comfortable, there are children on the street who kick shuttlecock and make trouble, this situation and this scene, with oil spinning in hand, always makes people involuntarily indulge in it.
Song Er sighed: No wonder, this day makes him happy, no wonder the people are begging for peace and security.
The silence of the street was broken by the sound of horses' hooves, and a man dressed in a postman's robe galloped past on a fast horse, causing many passers-by on the street to look at the postman. Yichen turned into the alley in front, Song Er's heart instinctively tightened, and he hurriedly followed, and then saw that the fast horse stopped where he wanted, got off the horse, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door.
I didn't have time to think about it, and my feet instinctively chased after me.
When he arrived, he only heard the postman saying, "It's sent by Yunzhou Mansion, hurry up, and collect it." The postman got on the horse as he spoke, his face was a little tired, and he muttered, "Three hundred taels and one quick horse is really enough." Then he galloped away.
Urgent letters need to be rushed day and night, and they cannot be stopped for a day, and of course, there are a lot of credit that need to be paid. So there are very few people who choose this way, unless it's a big emergency.
Sent from Yunzhou Mansion? Song Er thought about the location on the map, and his face changed slightly.
Zhang Xiaogongzi had already taken the letter, read it very seriously, and his eyes turned red when he looked at it, and then tears fell down his eyes.
What was written? Although Zhang Xiaogongzi is young, he is much more sensible than ordinary children, and rarely cries. The letter was held in Zhang Xiaogongzi's hand, and Song Er could only see the last few words: "Solution, you need to be self-reliant, keep books at home, study them well, and live up to the reputation of my Zhang family." Life and death in this line are unpredictable, if it is successful, the day of revenge is just around the corner, if you do not return in the coming year, you can stay in the ancestral house The soul of the ancestors returns to a safe place, remember to give me an extra stick of incense. ”
The explanation is that when he was playing with his grandfather and sister in the past, his grandfather chose the words for him. said that when he was weak, he would take the two words of explanation. It was the first time she had confessed her identity in front of him, but it could be the last.
