Chapter 168: Departure Huiji
When the four of them arrived at the dining room, Zhang Xuan's family was already eating as usual. The only exception is that the Qingxu couple also had breakfast here today. They were already very familiar with each other, and after saying hello, the four of them unceremoniously chose their favorite breakfast.
Seeing that everyone was eating about the same, Zhang Xuan said: "Mrs. Wang, Wang Zhen was not there last night, you can tell him about your deployment!" Others clarify their work. β
Xie Daoyun said: "Okay! Husband, the purpose of our trip to the meeting is twofold: first, to find Tongyun's fiancΓ© Gu Gongzi; The second is to take the initiative to attack and lure out the enemy who is going to be unfavorable to Zhang. Taking the initiative means putting yourself in a disadvantageous situation, and the danger is still very high, so the personnel are mainly streamlined. The people who went were the Zhang brothers and sisters, our husband and wife, Tang Gongzi, Yinying, and ten nurses. Steward Zhang stayed behind to deal with big and small affairs, and Uncle and Daochang Jia stayed behind to guard the manor. Uncle's flying sword is paired with Jia Daochang's immobilization technique, and it should be more than enough to guard the manor. β
Wang Qiandao: "If something happens to the manor, Steward Zhang can go to Jianwei Mansion and ask the government to come forward to calm down!" Also, what are the big brand-new boxes stacked in the manor for? β
Xie Daoyun said with a smile: "Although our personnel is downsized, our purpose is to lure the enemy out, so we still have to do enough drama." Those boxes were used to hold the dowry, pretending to be Zhang Gongzi personally escorting Tongyun and the dowry to the courtyard of the Huiji Gu family. β
Wang Zhen asked in surprise: "You won't really escort the dowry, right?" β
Xie Daoyun said: "Of course not! Inside is water and dry food. Tang Gongzi, please tell them to go down, let them look a little more difficult when they move, otherwise it won't be like it! β
Tang Qiu said: "Mrs. Wang, please rest assured! I'll remind you later! β
The king asked, "Lady, is it necessary to bring so much food and water?" β
Xie Daoyun said: "The world is dangerous, knowing that there are people outside who are going to be unfavorable to us, of course we must be extra careful in terms of food!" Only by holding the rice bowl in your own hands can people feel at ease! β
Wang Zhen agreed: "The lady has a point! Caution is the best policy! β
Xie Daoyun said: "There is a direct official road from Jiankang to Huiji, so there is no need to think too much about the road. In terms of accommodation, I recommend staying in a post house instead of an inn. Although the accommodation conditions of the post house are not as good as the upper rooms of the inn, the advantage is that it is officially opened, and the personnel changes are relatively small, so there is no need to worry about the enemy arranging an ambush in advance. With my husband and I, it is not a problem to stay in the inn. β
Zhang Xuan said convincingly: "Mrs. Wang arranged, we just do it!" β
Xie Daoyun smiled and continued, "The most dangerous place is the Gu family's courtyard, and we must assume that there is already an enemy ambush there. β
Wang asked: "This is easy to do! When you arrive at Huiji, first find a lively and prosperous place to arrange for you to settle down, and then I will go there alone to find out! β
Xie Daoyun said: "Of course, it is best if there is no one to ambush, but even if there is a net set up inside, we must find a way to overcome it, and then send someone to the door to deliver the post, and invite Gu Gongzi to come to the other courtyard." β
Tang Qiu asked: "Why do you know that there is an enemy?" β
Xie Daoyun said: "Because we have the task of finding Gu Gongzi, if we can't thwart the enemy's plot and fully deter them, how can they easily hand over Gu Gongzi!" β
Zhang Xuan said: "Tang Qiu, we know that there are tigers in the mountains, and we prefer to go to the tiger mountains. Now that they have decided to go out, they can't retreat half a step, they dare to ambush me Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan must beat them, let them know that Zhang Xuan is not easy to bully, and let them dare not eat the delusion of the whale swallowing the Zhang family again! β
Tang Qiu said: "The owner's thoughts, Tang Qiu understands!" β
Xie Daoyun said: "Of course, the means are flexible, and it is definitely not a simple hard encounter. That's all I can think of at the moment, is there anything else you can add? β
Zhang Tongyun said: "I am familiar with the Gu family's industry, if Mengbai is really locked up, I think of two possible places of detention. β
Wang asked: "After you arrive at Huiji, I'll take you to have a look." Alright, let's go! Plans can't keep up with changes, it's useless to talk too much, we have to go out to know what awaits us! β
Zhang Xuan was the first to stand up and said, "Okay, let's go!" β
Everyone got up one after another to pack up, and then met at the door. Two carriages and a cart were already parked outside the gate, and ten nurses were already on their horses waiting to leave.
A few large boxes have been pasted with red double happiness and moved to the board car, on which there are still six small festive red flags.
Mrs. Zhang, Qingxu and his wife, and Jia Banxian came out to see them off.
Zhang Xuan said: "Madam, take care of the children at home, I will be back in a few days!" β
Mrs. Zhang said: "Husband, be careful in everything! β
Jia Banxian said with a bitter face: "Baby, you are all gone, but you have to suffocate the old Taoist." β
Wang Qiandao: "Isn't there a big brother and sister-in-law with you!" β
Jia Banxian whispered: "They are too serious, it's boring!" β
Mrs. Qingxu smiled: "Uncle Shi, we heard it!" β
Wang Zhen smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, Lao Jia is not serious, you don't care about him." Alright, everybody, go back! It's time for us to go! β
After saying goodbye, the convoy set off slowly. Zhang Xuan sat in a carriage in front, the cart walked in the middle, and the carriage behind sat Xie Daoyun, Zhang Tongyun and Yinying.
The ten guards are divided into four people in front of the road, four people in the back, and two people in the middle. Tang Qiu protected the carriage in front, and Wang Zhen protected the carriage behind.
Yinying asked, "Tongyun, how did you and that Gu Mengbai of yours meet?" β
Zhang Tongyun thought back to the past, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said: "The Zhang family and the Gu family are world friends, and when my father was alive, the relationship between the two families was very good!" When I was four years old, Mengbai's mother died, Mengbai was very sad, and he was often bullied by his two elder brothers, so Gu Shibo sent Mengbai to our family to raise. β
Silver Baby pretended to nod and said, "It turns out that you are childhood sweethearts!" Why did his brother, who was so good, bully him? β
Zhang Tongyun: "Because he is a concubine, his mother is Gu Shibo's concubine, so the Gu family doesn't take Mengbai as the same thing." After Mengbai's mother died, his life in the Gu family was even more difficult, Gu Shibo and Mengbai were father and son after all, and Gu Shibo still had some love for licking calves, so he left Mengbai in our house in the name of visiting the world, which was actually given to our family to raise. β
Yinying said in disgust: "This Gu family is too terrible, I have a little sympathy for this Gu Mengbai!" β
Xie Daoyun asked, "You grew up with Gu Gongzi like this?" β
Zhang Tongyun said: "Yes, there is a big age difference between my brother and me, I am very lonely at home, Mengbai is only one year older than me, he stays here just enough to accompany me to read, write, and play with me, and Mengbai is stable and polite." So, my dad and mother like Mengbai very much and are happy to let him stay and grow up with me. β
Yinying asked, "How long have you been living with Gu Mengbai?" β
Zhang Tongyun said: "In eight years, when he was thirteen years old, Gu Shibo was afraid of being gossiped, so he took him home to live. In order to reflect the exchange of courtesy, Gu Shibo invited me to live in Gu's house for half a year. β
Xie Daoyun said: "Is Gu Gongzi's life better after he goes home?" β
Zhang Tongyun shook his head and said, "It's not easy at all!" After eight years of walking and coming back, the people of the Gu family don't care about him even more, his status in the Gu family is about the same as that of his subordinates! β
Yinying sighed: "It's miserable! β
Zhang Tongyun said: "When I was in the Gu family, as long as I wasn't by his side, his two elder brothers would desperately bully him, saying that it was not an exaggeration to say that the fists and feet were combined. β
Yinying said angrily: "He has grown up, why doesn't he know how to resist?" β
Zhang Tongyun said: "He is too kind, and he has been bullied by his two elder brothers since he was a child, and later lived in someone else's house for a long time, and developed that kind of tame and obedient character with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, no matter what happens, he is the first to reflect on himself!" β
Silver Baby sighed, "How can this be? It's too weak! β
Zhang Tongyun said in a low voice: "Yes, people are good at being bullied, and I also hope that he can change!" β
Xie Daoyun said: "Maybe after this time, he will change." β
Yinying asked, "Sister, why do you say that?" β
Xie Daoyun said: "When a person has something that he cannot lose, he will let himself change. β
Silver Infant asked incredulously, "Really?" β
Xie Daoyun smiled: "Really! Let's take an example, I am usually a weak woman who has no quarrel with the world, if one day my husband is in a desperate situation, I will definitely become a brave and vicious woman who will help her husband get out of trouble! β
Silver Baby smiled: "I kind of understand! No wonder the king is invincible! β
Xie Daoyun said: "If Gu Gongzi really loves Tongyun and doesn't want to lose Tongyun, he will definitely make himself strong to protect Tongyun!" β
Yinying asked, "Tongyun, do you have confidence in Gu Mengbai?" β
Zhang Tongyun said with great certainty: "I have confidence in him!" β
Xie Daoyun and Yinying smiled at her with relief; Zhang Tongyun went through the explanation of the good sisters, gained courage, and smiled sweetly.
Yinying said: "Tongyun, I also have a childhood sweetheart, his name is Jiang Shoucheng, codenamed Gray Wolf." I'll tell you about him......"
Xie Daoyun lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Wang Zhen carrying a bow and arrows on his back, dressed in military uniform, riding a horse next to the carriage, looking around with a high degree of vigilance, and couldn't help but smile sweetly at him.
Wang Zhen felt the gaze, turned his head and saw Xie Daoyun with a smiling face, and immediately smiled back.
Xie Daoyun said distressedly: "Husband, there are still two or three days to go!" Take it easy and don't burn yourself out! β
Wang asked: "With the care of the lady, I don't feel tired at all, and the tiger can be killed!" β
Silver Baby forcibly popped out half of his head by the window, and said in distress: "Oops! You guys are okay, you talk sweetly early in the morning, and you don't let people live! β
The king asked, "Silver Baby, what's wrong?" β
