Chapter 67: The Difficulty of Pursuit
Facing the convoy, one person and one horse galloped wildly, rushed to the middle of the convoy, turned the horse's head, and shouted: "But Mingye's convoy? The little one was sent by Zheng Caosi from Hangzhou City to greet Ming Ye. ”
The curtain of a big car in front of him was lifted, and Ming Shaoping, the eldest son of Ming Shangshu Ming Zhenbang, probed out, "It's me, what's so urgent?" ”
"The eldest young master," Chang Sui hurriedly urged the horse to approach, leaning over to approach Ming Shaoping, "Cao Si got the letter, the prince is going to the chicken coop temple at noon to eat vegetarian fasting, send the little one to come over to greet him, the eldest young master ......"
Before he finished speaking, Ming Shaoping's eyes lit up, and he leaned over and asked, "How far is it from Hangzhou City?" ”
"Less than fifty miles to go." The steward hurriedly replied.
"Hurry up, stop the car! Change horses! Ming Shaoping commanded eagerly.
The convoy immediately stopped, the guards led the horses over, Ming Shaoping called Li Wenlin, got on the horse together, took a dozen small guards, followed the long entourage sent by Zheng Caosi, and galloped towards Hangzhou City.
But in half an hour, Ming Shaoping and his entourage rushed to the north gate of Hangzhou.
Zheng Caosi had already led people out of the city gate for a mile or two, and watched Ming Shaoping and his party coming from a distance, with joy on his face, and hurriedly greeted him, and did not get off the horse, he bowed his hand and said straightforwardly: "It's really a rare opportunity, the eldest young master is really fast, let's hurry up, it's a lot faster to bypass from outside the city." ”
Ming Shaoping's forehead was full of sweat, and he didn't care about greetings, "Thank you Caosi, let's go quickly." ”
The group quickly whipped up, bypassed half of Hangzhou City, and went straight to Jilong Temple.
Running in one breath to the chicken coop temple can already be seen clearly, Ming Shao Pingle stopped the horse, took out a handkerchief to wipe the hot sweat on his face, this breath ran, the small clothes inside have all been sweaty, but do not dare to delay more, from the letter that the prince wants to go to the chicken coop temple to eat vegetarian food to now, more than an hour has passed, and one night later, maybe the prince will finish eating and go back.
Zheng Caosi also hurriedly wiped his sweat one by one, tidied up his clothes slightly, took a few closer glances at Ming Shaoping, and arranged a few clothes for him, and then reined in the horse together and arrived in front of the Jilong Temple unhurriedly.
After getting off the horse, the young master of Ming looked around, and his heart was a little cold, there was no one outside this temple, I was afraid that the prince had already eaten vegetarian food and went back.
Zheng Caosi's heart also fell heavily, and he didn't tell the little guy, he jumped off the horse, ran a few steps, stepped into the temple gate, and saw an old monk with long eyebrows and white hair. ”
The old monk's ears didn't seem to be very good, he listened sideways, put his hands together, nodded at Zheng Caosi again and again, retreated all the way, retreated into the mountain gate, turned around, and walked fast.
Zheng Caosi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed up, only to see the old monk waving vigorously at a middle-aged monk standing at the door of the wing.
When the middle-aged monk saw the old monk waving his hand, he also saw Zheng Caosi, and hurriedly accompanied him with a smile, trotting all the way up to meet him, and clasping his hands together from afar. ”
"Did the prince come over and use vegetarian food? Gone? Zheng Caosi was not in the mood to be polite to the monk and asked bluntly.
The monk was stunned, and hurriedly bowed over to answer with a smile: "More than an hour ago, I sent someone to say that I wanted to come over to eat vegetarian food, and asked the small temple to prepare a few clean dishes, and then sent someone to say, but it came." ”
Zheng Zhensi's face sank, he didn't care about the Zhike monk, and hurriedly turned around, Ming Shaoping had already followed up, and when he heard the words of the Zhike monk, he frowned and asked, "Where did the prince go for lunch?" Did you mention it? ”
"I haven't heard of that, Cao Si also knows that the people who are waiting around the nobles never talk much." The monk hurriedly replied with a smile.
Ming Shaoping turned around and walked out of the Jicoo Temple with Zheng Caosi, Zheng Caosi hurriedly beckoned, and called the chief to follow the order: "Hurry up and ask, whether the prince is going back, or going somewhere else for lunch, go quickly!" ”
After a long time, he ran all the way back to report: "The teahouse over there, saying that I saw a group of sons and brothers in brocade clothes, as if they were discussing whether to go to Lin'an City or Hengshan County, and the shopkeeper of the tea shop said that he hadn't discussed it yet, and went in the direction of Lin'an City." ”
Hengshan County! Ming Shaoping's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously looked back at Li Wenlin, who was tired of supporting the two little guys, who could barely stand, and then looked at Zheng Caosi and said with a smile: "I heard that the prince likes to eat Longjing shrimp from Hengshan County's Pinglan Courtyard the most?" ”
"Yes, in the past half a year, I've been there several times, let's hurry up, the prince will go to Hengshan County, and the Li family brother will definitely accompany him." Zheng Caosi said, and also looked at Li Wenlin, whose face was pale and sweaty, "The eldest young master is really thoughtful. ”
………………
King Qin and his entourage made a slight bend to the Jilong Temple, and went straight to Hengshan County.
The group rode a good horse that was one in a thousand, and they ran to Hengshan County in one go, and it was only an hour.
When they arrived outside Hengshan County, everyone slowed down their horses, and the steward galloped to the Pinglan Courtyard to arrange, King Qin comfortably loosened his shoulders a few times, and pointed at Li Wenshan with a horse whip, "Go and take your younger brothers and sisters over and have a delicious meal." ”
Gu Liu laughed out loud, patting Li Wenshan's shoulder while laughing, "I didn't laugh at you...... You're going to ......."
Lu Yi smiled helplessly and instructed Chengying, "You go with the fifth master, don't alarm people too much." ”
Jin Cunyan was distracted, not knowing what he was thinking.
………………
Li Xia was startled when he saw the sweaty fifth brother, and when he heard the fifth brother say that King Qin had come to eat shrimp in Pinglan Courtyard again, his little brows furrowed, and he muttered, at this time, he came here to eat shrimp, and he also went to the chicken coop temple with a shot in the middle......
Well, let's go and take a look, maybe there's something going on here, the fifth brother is careless, I'm afraid I can't see it.
………………
King Qin and Jin Humble said a few, cleaned their hands and faces in the Pinglan Courtyard, and the small servants waited for King Qin to change out of wet clothes, and King Qin just tilted comfortably to the couch, Li Wenshan came in with Li Xia and Li Wenlan.
Gu Liu was far away, so he waved at Li Xia and Li Wenlan, signaling them to come over.
Jin Zhuoyan stood in the warm pavilion, slowly shaking the folding fan, and looked condescendingly at the three people who were tied together.
Lu Yi came out, looked at Li Wenshan's sweat stains on his face, and instructed the little servant Hanguang: "Hanguang take Li Wuye to wash it, and the sixth brother and Ah Xia will come in with me." ”
Li Wenlan's excited eyes lit up, there was only Gu Liu in his eyes, and he ran towards Gu Liu. The Sixth Young Master is his idol.
Li Xia took Lu Yi's hand and walked steadily into the warm pavilion.
King Qin was crooked on the couch, sipping a cup of tea, as if he didn't see Li Wenshan coming in with his younger brothers and sisters.
