Chapter 234: The eldest lady of the Ji family

A veteran Longmen dart bureau located in a small town in the west, which has long ceased to be the prestige of the past, took a dart errand and transported dozens of large boxes full of loads to a certain place in Beijing, which should have been a very ordinary thing, but because the reward for this dart was a thousand taels of gold, it was spread all over the city.

The news obviously leaked out from within the Longmen Dart Bureau, whether it is true or not, but the large and small forces in Xizhou City are already ready to move.

Yan Mengyu was in the Longmen Inn, where the three sects and nine streams were mixed, so he naturally learned the news at the first time. The matter of the dart could not be hidden, but she didn't expect that even the dart reward would be clearly spread and cause such a big sensation in the small sandbank city, which was not what she wanted.

Ji Yuerong was born in the deteriorating Longmen Dart Game, although she did not suffer from childhood to adulthood, she did not enjoy the blessings that she should have as an eldest lady. Although the camel is thin, it is bigger than the horse, and Ji Yuerong before the age of eighteen can be regarded as carefree, although occasionally I will see my father sighing alone in the bedroom. It's just that recently, the iron sand gang in the west of the city has become more and more rampant, and when he came to the mansion a few days ago, he forcibly asked his father to marry him to the iron sand gang who was notorious in the city. Although her father did not agree on the spot, Ji Yuerong knew that in front of this world of the weak and the strong, it was absolutely a matter of course for the father to repay the debts of the son. Ji Yuerong, who was unable to struggle and had to be appointed, did not expect that there would be a turnaround today due to the arrival of a dart errand. After the middle-aged beautiful woman who still had the charm of the dart left, Daddy's mood was obviously different, and he couldn't help but find a few disciples to discuss the next dart matters.

Even Ji Yuerong, who was in a better mood, participated, but most of the time she kept silent. The girl who had just passed the age of Doukui thought that as long as she completed her errand this time, she could repay the huge debt owed to the Iron Sand Gang, and suddenly swept away the gloomy mood of the past few days, and the whole person was also a lot more relaxed.

Ji Donglai arranged everything and sent a few disciples down to prepare, but found that his beloved daughter was sitting motionless on the chair, without any intention of leaving, and said with a smile: "Yuerong, is there anything else?" ”

Ji Yuerong, who was accustomed to being a deep boudoir and had almost never gone far away, suddenly had some heroic light on her face, and hesitated: "Daddy, I want to go with you this time." ”

Although Ji Donglai, who has a lot of experience, doesn't know what the owner entrusts, he can see from the advance deposit that the value is definitely above 10,000 gold, and he shook his head with a wry smile: "This dart is different from the past, Yuerong, you still don't want to go." ”

Ji Yuerong looked stubborn when she heard this, and she made it clear that she would not give up until she reached her goal.

Ji Donglai, who is familiar with his daughter's temperament, finally compromised. The journey is a long way and will take a long time. If he fails, whether he loses his life or not, the daughter who stayed on the sandbank is afraid that he will not be able to escape the poison of the Iron Sand Gang, so it is better to take it with him. If he succeeds by luck, his daughter and him will naturally not encounter any danger, and they will be able to get a huge reward to pay off their debts, which is why he is determined to go on this journey.

Three days later, Granny Yu took Ah Da and others to send thirty huge ebony boxes with gold and iron patterns, and did not say much, but agreed that the dart team would set off from the East City Gate in five days, and arrive fifty miles west of the Beijing Division within one month at the latest, and then left in a hurry.

Ji Donglai, who got a deposit of 1,000 taels from Granny Yu, paced back and forth under the wide courtyard of the Longmen Dart Bureau, and finally made up his mind to pay back all the 5,000 taels of silver owed to the Iron Sand Gang before the dart. After all, the Iron Sand Gang is not a good type, and there is still a family in his old mansion, and it will be difficult for him to go on the road with peace of mind if this matter is not completely resolved.

The matter of the dart has now been rumored to be full of storms in the city. Yan Mengyu, who lived in the Longmen Inn, secretly screamed badly, thirty boxes of Loulan Secret Treasure, himself and Granny Yu, and even Ah Da They were not easy to shoot, and now the news was exposed, only with Ji Donglai of the Longmen Dart Bureau and the few people around him who could only be regarded as second-rate masters, it was tantamount to a fool's dream to cross thousands of miles to reach Jingshi safely.

Yan Mengyu, who had expected the difficulty of this matter, frowned and looked at the window, thinking deeply about how to solve the dilemma in front of him. At this time, Granny Fish's figure had appeared at the end of the street.

Granny Yu hurriedly entered the room with a look on her face, and said in a low voice: "Princess, the things have arrived at the Longmen Dart Bureau, and the old man left Ah Da and a few of them to stare in secret. It's just..."

Granny Yu's expression suddenly became a little abnormal, and she hesitated: "The state pastor's mansion issued a notice, and the Tubo army besieging Xizhou has retreated. ”

Yan Mengyu lost her voice and said, "What? The Tibetans actually retreated? How can they give up fat to the mouth? ”

Granny Yu shook her head and said with a smile: "The princess should be happy, the Tubo people have retreated, and Commander Li is safe." ”

Yan Mengyu, who had been deliberately not thinking about Xizhou for the past few days, had a soft body, and his whole back was tightly attached to the twisty and uneven wood-grain window edges, and his eyes were complicated and sighed lightly: "Surprise is greater than joy." Mother-in-law, on the one hand, I hope that Tubo will not easily withdraw from the army, so that the more chaotic the part of the capital division is, the better, and on the other hand, I don't want him to die, it is really a dilemma. ”

Granny Yu stopped talking and comforted: "Princess, the old body hopes that you should make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to fall deeper and deeper in the end." ”

Yan Mengyu smiled calmly and said softly, "Got it." Let's not talk about that, let's talk about what's in front of us. The matter of the dart is full of turmoil in the city, which is very bad for us. Uncle Shangguan is at the critical juncture of his upright retreat, if it is not so, it is most suitable to have his old man in charge. ”

Granny Yu said quietly: "Princess, I have thought of a person who is very suitable, but I am afraid that the young lady will invite me personally." ”

Yan Mengyu's eyes lit up, pointed to the northwest direction, and said softly: "Mother-in-law, do you mean him?" ”

Granny Yu nodded and said, "Not bad." Commander Li's current skills are unpredictable, and he has just retreated from the Tibetan army, but he is the uncrowned king of this western region within a radius of thousands of miles. If he agrees, this time it will be foolproof. ”

Yan Mengyu hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind: "Then I'll try it, after all, this time the stakes are very high, Guo Huang Liangzhou is a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and there must be no room for any mistakes." ”

Granny Yu said: "The princess can rest assured to go to Xizhou, and this side will be handed over to the old woman." ”

Suddenly, Yan Mengyu's beautiful eyes became brighter and brighter, and then a dodge shuttled out of the window and landed on the open stone street.

The unknown Granny Yu approached the window, until she saw the young lady standing in front of a tall man in a green shirt, she shook her head and sighed secretly.
