The four horses galloped desperately, and a gust of wind turned into the main road of the Lin family's courtyard at the Qingfeng Teahouse, Yu Zhu in the teahouse was stunned, glanced at the horses behind them, hesitated, and did not pull the rope.

Yu Zhu didn't pull the rope, and the Lin family's courtyard naturally didn't react, so the farmers and long-term workers who were busy in the field, the family members who looked out on the courtyard wall, and the guards patrolling in the Zhuangzi silently watched the four people and four horses gallop to the gate of the Lin family's courtyard, and shouted "help" as soon as they rolled down.

Shang Mingjie was familiar with the Lin family's courtyard, and grabbed the guard at the door and said: "Quick, tell Aunt Lin quickly, someone is chasing us, go and stop people, don't let them run away, otherwise there will be endless trouble!" ”

Jiading glanced at the embarrassed four people, didn't dare to slack off, and immediately asked people to notify Lin Qingwan who was in the threshing floor, as well as to report to Yi Han.

Yi Han frowned, nodded to the three guards, and said, "You go and take a look, just don't let people run away, if the idea is not hard, take it." ”

The three guards answered and went to lead the horses in the stable.

When they ran to the Qingfeng Teahouse, they saw Shang Mingjie and the people they said were drinking tea in the teahouse.

Those people were asking Yu Zhu, "Who are the four people who ran just now, and why do they look like fools?" ”

Yu Zhu carried the teapot and poured him tea with a smile, and changed the topic: "The little eyes are not good, a gust of wind passed just now, and I really didn't see it clearly." How many officials are coming to Suzhou for business? ”

"Yes, I came to deliver the official document, isn't this Your Majesty's longevity, and I specially ordered that both low and middle households have some tax reductions this summer?" The man was obviously still very interested in Shang Mingjie and them, and then asked, "You really don't know each other?" I watched them turn in directly, who lives in the Zhuangzi there? ”

As soon as these words came out, the person sitting next to him pulled him, "You don't know? That's the Lin family's courtyard, and it's the Lord of Lin. ”

The person who pulled him secretly glanced at him and asked him not to say more, the people who often ran this road knew the influence of the Lin family in Suzhou, not to mention that this teahouse belonged to the Lin family.

Talking about the master in front of his subordinates, no matter if it is good or bad.

But apparently, the airborne squad leader failed to comprehend what he meant, and pouted: "Is it a relative of the Lin family?" What bad things did you do, why did you run away when you saw us? ”

The three guards frowned when they heard this, but they didn't speak, but nodded to Yu Zhu, glanced at their saddle again, and made sure that it was indeed from the post station, and then turned back.

The rest of the affairs in the teahouse will handle it by themselves, and they don't need to worry about it.

Sure enough, before they got on the horse, they heard Yu Zhu laugh and said: "The official said that he was joking, our Lin family is famous for its benevolence and virtue......"

The guards ran back to report, "Head, the people chasing them should not have arrived, they mistook the people at the post station for the pursuers." ”

Yi Han bowed, "Transfer out two people and replace Yu Zhu back at night." ”

Yu Zhu has a disability in the end, no matter how good his eyes are, it is difficult to escape when he finds out about the enemy.

They have all investigated here, Zhou Tong and Shang Mingjie at the gate are still sitting on the ground and have not gotten up, too tired and wooden, the two legs have already been numb, before they were bent on running for their lives, but now they are in a safe place, and after they have relied on, they feel that their bodies are sinking for a while, as if they are about to die.

This kind of exhaustion from the heart to the body makes them not want to move, so no matter how much the family persuades them, they can't pull them up.

Shang Mingjie even lay on the ground directly after letting go of himself.

Zhou Tong hesitated for a moment, looked at the dirt on the ground, and was a little disgusted, but he was really tired and panicked, and after hesitating for a moment, he still obeyed his heart and fell to the ground.

The masters are all lying down, how can the slaves not lie down?

Washing inkstone and Yinquan were relieved, and they lay down directly, and the ground was so comfortable!

The family who pulled them was speechless, they didn't know about others, but the second cousin young master has always loved to be clean, this is on the ground, on the ground, although it hasn't rained in the past few days, it's not clean.

He was hesitating whether to carry people in, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Lin Qingwan who was surrounded by people and came this way.

He immediately straightened his back, stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Auntie, the second cousin and young master are tired, so you can see ......"

Lin Qingwan looked down at the four clay figures on the ground, frowned and said, "What's the matter with carrying people in and lying at the door?" ”

Zhou Tong lay down and didn't move, waiting for someone to carry him, but Shang Mingjie tried to get up when he heard the words "aunt and grandmother", although he didn't succeed.

He wanted to cry without tears, he knew that he was not lying down, and he didn't know what Aunt Lin was going to think of him.

In the end, the four people were carried in by the family, and the two little servants were carried directly to the guest room, where they could take a bath, eat and sleep directly.

The two masters were more miserable, Lin Qingwan asked people to throw them into the courtyard, and then asked condescendingly, "Didn't you go on a study tour, shouldn't you be in the capital at this time?" ”

Shang Mingjie burst into tears, "According to the itinerary, we should indeed be in the capital soon, but auntie, we are lost!" ”

Zhou Tong nodded silently on the side, his father, and the maps given by other fathers were unreliable.

"There wasn't even a road sign on the road, so we walked off the road, and when we found out, we were already in Chizhou." Their original plan was to go to Xuanzhou to Luzhou, especially Luzhou, where there were several great Confucians, and they could go to meet them at that time.

Lin Qingwan said expressionlessly: "It's okay to continue north from Chizhou, it's not too far away." ”

"Uh-"

"So what did you do?"

The two of them lowered their heads and said dejectedly: "Then we thought that we would simply go to Ezhou by mistake, and then go to Beijing from Ezhou." ”

Lin Qingwan frowned, Ezhou is the area of Wuhan, and it is indeed a way to get to the capital from there, but the situation there is not good at this time, Daliang and Jiangling Mansion are facing off, and even the second prince has been transferred.

Looking at the two young men, and then thinking that the oldest of them was no more than a crown, he must be young and vigorous, and he was curious, and couldn't help but sigh: "You are looking for death." ”

Zhou Tong nodded thoughtfully, isn't it just looking for death? They didn't even enter Ezhou before they encountered a fatal incident.

Zhou Tong came back to his senses, didn't care about being tired, jumped up and kicked Shang Mingjie, "What are you grinding, let's get to the point." ”

Shang Mingjie was stunned, and he also came back to his senses, raised his head and looked at Lin Qingwan seriously: "Aunt Lin, something big happened in Hongzhou. ”

Lin Qingwan was stunned, "Didn't you go to Ezhou, why did you get involved in Hongzhou again?" ”

Hongzhou is where Zhong Ruying is stationed, Lin Qingwan couldn't help but straighten her face and asked, "What happened to Hongzhou?" ”

"Da Chu is attacking in a big way, and the border is in danger!"

Lin Qingwan looked at him suspiciously, "If there is a war at the border, how can we not hear the slightest rumor?" ”

She didn't believe that Zhong Ruying would hide the war.

Shang Mingjie said anxiously: "That's because the news of General Zhong can't be transmitted, Aunt Lin, Hongzhou is surrounded, and the news can only go in, not out, if it weren't for our chance to save the communication soldiers who came out of Hongzhou and went to the capital, I'm afraid that the news is still being concealed now." ”
