Chapter 228: Liaodong County
Yu Yuanxuan returned to the guest room with a large bag of dry food and water.
She told Lopinsha and Angelica what she had inquired about.
"Xiao Luo, do you know about the rampant rogues in Liaodong County?"
Luo Pingsha thought for a moment before saying.
"The Fa-rectification Division originally planted spies in Liaodong County.
But for some reason, since three years ago, those spies have stopped sending messages back.
We followed up with some people who went to Liaodong County to inquire about intelligence, but they were all lost.
Because Liaodong County is too far away from Yujing, although we have doubts in our hearts, we are also beyond the reach of the whip. ”
In other words, he didn't know how there were so many rogues in Liaodong County.
Angelica asked with a blank eye, "What do we do next?" ”
Yu Yuan pondered slightly: "Let's take a look at Lu Yao's reaction first, he is a native of Liaodong County, and he must know more about Liaodong County than us, if he also feels that he needs to hire guards, then we will spend money to hire some people." ”
Angelica and Luo Pingsha nodded in agreement.
Lu Yao had something on his mind tonight, and he slept very unsteadily.
He finally managed to stay up until dawn, and as soon as he got up, there was a knock on the door.
Lu Yao asked who it was?
An lingering voice came through the door.
"It's me, I have something I want to talk to Lu Gongzi about."
Lu Yao's first reaction was whether Angelica would come with her sister?
He quickly got dressed, and deliberately straightened his hair to make sure that it was neat, and then stepped forward and opened the door.
But I saw that there was only one person standing outside.
The brilliance in Lu Yao's eyes dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Yu Yuan didn't know why: "Lu Gongzi doesn't seem to be in a good mood, did he sleep badly last night?" ”
Lu Yao bowed slightly: "Well, what is the matter with you coming to me?" ”
Yu Xuan: "That's right,
I heard that there are rampant bandits in Liaodong County, and I am afraid of danger, so I wonder if I should hire a few masters to protect my safety?
Lu Gongzi knows Liaodong County better than us, so I came to ask what you mean. ”
Hearing this, Lu Yao couldn't help frowning.
"I grew up in Liaodong County since I was a child, and it has always been very peaceful, and there has never been a troublemaker, who did you listen to when you said this?"
Yu Yuanxuan explained truthfully.
"It was the innkeeper who told me that he didn't look like a liar.
Besides, he didn't have to lie like that.
Could it be because Lu Gongzi has been studying abroad for many years and has never returned home, so he doesn't know the changes in his hometown? ”
Lu Yao replied without hesitation.
"There can't be rogues, Liaodong County is guarded by the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and General Zhengyuan can fight well, and be jealous of evil.
If there were really rogues in Liaodong County, General Zhengyuan would definitely send troops to extinguish them as soon as possible.
They must never be allowed to run amok. ”
Yu Yuan whispered: "What if something goes wrong with the Eastern Expeditionary Army?" ”
Lu Yao didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?" ”
Yu Yuanxuan immediately shook his head: "It's nothing, since Lu Gongzi said that there are no rogues in Liaodong County, then we will listen to you and leave after breakfast." ”
Lu Yao said yes.
"Then I'll go first."
After Yu Yuanxuan finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Lu Yao couldn't help but stop her: "Wait a minute." ”
Yu Yuan looked back at him: "What else is wrong with Lu Gongzi?" ”
Lu Yao wanted to ask if Angelica was sad after he went back last night?
He behaved so coldly last night, it must have hurt Angelica's heart.
But when the words came to his mouth, he forcibly swallowed them back.
Now that he had decided to keep his distance, he could no longer procrastinate.
He smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I just want to remind you that the weather has been getting cold recently, you have to remember to add clothes, so as not to freeze." ”
Yu Yuan nodded: "Well, thank you for the reminder." ”
It is already late summer and early autumn, and Liaodong County is located in the north, so the temperature is indeed lower.
Fortunately, they brought enough clothes for this trip, so they don't have to worry about not having thick clothes to wear.
Yu Yuanxuan and Angelica and Luo Pingsha used to cook, so they walked outside the guest house with large bags of luggage.
The innkeeper took the initiative to come over and ask.
"Little lady, do you want to hire guards? If so, I can introduce you to a few, and the price is absolutely fair. ”
Without waiting for Yu Yuan to answer, Lu Yao, who was walking over here, spoke first.
"Thank you for your kindness, but no."
The innkeeper was surprised: "Aren't you afraid of being robbed by the rogue?" ”
Lu Yao: "We are taking the official road, we don't have to worry about the rogues, even if we are really unlucky, we can still report to the official." ”
The innkeeper shook his head: "You are still too young, if the official is useful, there will not be so many rogues in Liaodong County now." ”
Seeing Lu Yao's firm attitude, he knew that it was useless to talk more, and he would only know the mistake by letting the other party go to the other party to break the bleeding, so he stopped talking about it and stepped forward to help them carry their luggage.
Lu Yao first looked at Angelica, who was putting luggage on the carriage, and saw that she didn't look at herself more, so he withdrew his gaze and turned to Yu Yuan next to him.
"You saw it just now.
The reason why the shopkeeper said that there were rogue people in Liaodong County.
must see that you are not from Liaodong County, and want to pit your money on the pretext of introducing you to guards. ”
Yu Yuan asked in a low voice, "But what if he said that he was fighting?" ”
Lu Yao said in a deep voice.
"If there really is a rogue, we will report it to the official.
Don't worry, my family still has some power in Liaodong County, and the government will not dare to snub me. ”
Yu Yuanyuan had long guessed that his origin was unusual, and his words confirmed her guess.
Two wagons and a donkey set off again.
A day later, they finally entered the territory of Liaodong County.
Angelica leaned on the car window, and the probe looked out, and as far as the eye could see, there was a large dense mountain forest.
Liaodong County is located in the northeast border of the Dayan Dynasty, there are many mountains and forests here, because the terrain is not suitable for planting rice, because the people here mostly eat noodles.
At noon they found a place with water and stopped to rest.
Lu Yao said to them.
"A little further on, you should be able to see a village, we can spend the night in that village tonight, and taste the specialties of Liaodong County by the way."
As soon as he heard that there was something delicious, Angelica immediately had a spirit.
She has been eating dry food every day for the past two days, and she has eaten so much that her mouth has no taste, and she especially wants to eat a hot meal.
Angelica asked expectantly while nibbling on steamed buns.
"What's delicious in Liaodong County?"
Lu Yao wanted to introduce a few dishes he liked to eat, but he swallowed back when the words came to his mouth.
He kept his emotions under control and tried not to look into the other person's eyes.
"You'll know when the time comes."
With that, he turned and went back to his car.
No matter how sluggish Angelica is, he can feel Lu Yao's coldness towards him.
Not only that, Lu Yao didn't talk to her much in the past two days, as if he was deliberately avoiding her.
She couldn't help but ask, "Sister, does Mr. Lu have any opinions about me?" ”
Yu Yuanyu didn't understand what Lu Yao was thinking.
She hummed softly.
"Don't guess the boy's thoughts, you can't guess it~"
