Chapter 238: Carrier Pigeon
"Liang Xu traveled, and Xia Zhi carried the messenger bought by Su Mo on his back to intercept the latest letter from Liang Xu. Liang Xu still reported his itinerary one by one, it seemed that he had arrived in the Lingnan area, and planned to stay for a while before going on the road. The summer solstice calculates the distance, and it will take seven or eight days to travel. And Liang Xu didn't know anything about it, plus the time when the letter was delivered, he couldn't catch up with the wedding at all.
The summer solstice was at a loss, looking at the sky in a daze. The swallows squeak on the branches, which makes people not very irritable. Hmph, if you make any more noise, I'll catch you one by two, pluck the feathers, and see how you can fly. Wait, the birds can fly, it's much faster than on land. Summer Solstice jumped up and rushed to the Correspondence Museum.
In addition to the general land and water routes, the use of carrier pigeons to convey letters is also one of the common ways. It's just that the cost of carrier pigeons is more than ten times more than that of ordinary horses, so it is only for the rich and the like.
When the summer solstice arrived at the communication hall, a small postman had already come up to peddle business,
The summer solstice is straight to the point, holding enough silver taels. The matter was urgent, even if she was ripped off, she admitted it.
The postman's eyes lit up,
Xia Solstice took advantage of this gap and borrowed paper and pen. There is not much information that carrier pigeons can carry, and Xia Zhi only briefly wrote the news that Rouge was going to marry, and invited him to come to Anyang City for a gathering. I want to write a few more sentences, but there is no room for it. That's it, let's wait for the others to come and meet and talk about it in detail.
The postman quickly turned back, with an apologetic expression on his face, and the postman was very attentive in peddling business.
The black line of the summer solstice, why is there a situation at this time. No matter how fast the land route is, the wedding will not wait for anyone, and the late news will have no other use than to create a tragedy. Xia Zhi asked cheekily,
The postman shook his head,
Xia Zhi sighed weakly, and the new road that he had finally discovered was sealed with a bang.
The postman said hesitantly, probably because he couldn't see Xia Zhi's annoyance.
When Xia Zhi heard this, he immediately turned to the postman, and his eyes lit up to rekindle hope.
The postman leaned in and whispered,
Xia Zhi sincerely thanked him, and then walked to the small courtyard on the side of the communication hall under the guidance of the postman. This is where the pigeons rest, and the five or six hanging cages are empty. Only in the last birdcage, a snow-white carrier pigeon is quietly staying inside, cooing at the sky.
An older postman waited, his face already impatient. On the stone table next to it, the guest who was going to send the letter had his back to him and was thinking about a sentence with his head down, and he was probably dissatisfied with writing two or three words, so he crumpled the note and threw it back, and then pulled out a new white note to rewrite. There were already seven or eight small paper balls scattered under the man's feet, and it seemed that it had really been grinding for quite some time.
Xia Zhi confirmed the chips in his hand, and then walked over softly.
Xia Zhi coughed softly twice to get the other party's attention.
The guest turned around, looked at Xia Solstice and thought about it for two seconds, and then smiled and showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth,
The black line of the summer solstice, how did I just run into such a living treasure. It was no one else in front of him, it was Wang Mang who went out to enjoy the flowers that day. Xia Zhi hurriedly hid the written note behind him so as not to leak the news.
Summer Solstice smiles politely. Seeing that the guest was Wang Mang, Lu Lan stepped forward very courteously to say hello, and her waist straightened a lot.
Xia Solstice's eyes turned around and said with a smile,
Wang Mang saw that Xia Zhi was so enthusiastically invited, how could he refuse, so he hurriedly wanted to finish the matter at hand and immediately went to the banquet with the two beauties.
Xia Solstice pretended to be unintentional and leaned over a little,
Judging from Wang Mang's procrastination, nine times out of ten, it will not be too urgent, otherwise if he can still rub his eyebrows so slowly, he will either have a big heart or become a Buddha.
Wang Mang replied,
Hey? Could it be a misjudgment? But what Wang Mang said verbally was 100,000 urgent, but he didn't see it at all when he looked at his actions, don't be funny.
Xia Zhi inquired.
Wang Mang was delusional and showed a foolish smile.
The black line of the summer solstice is such a ridiculous and boring reason to occupy this last carrier pigeon. But first come, first come, she can't force Wang Mang to give up the right to use this carrier pigeon. If the hard one doesn't work, then you can only use the soft one. “
