Chapter 176: Letter for Help

While everyone was deliberating, a post house guy nodded respectfully outside the door and asked, "Is there a young lady named Zhang Tongyun here?" ”

Zhang Tongyun stood up and said, "I am!" ”

The guy said, "The little one has a letter from you!" ”

Zhang Tongyun stepped forward to answer the letter, and everyone followed.

Zhang Tongyun looked at the envelope, which read: Zhang Tongyun personally opened.

Zhang Tongyun asked, "Who gave you this letter?" ”

The guy said: "The little one doesn't know who he is, he handed the letter to the little one, gave a sentence to Miss Zhang and left, coming and going in a hurry, and he couldn't allow the little one to ask more than half a word." ”

Wang Zhen took out a dozen copper coins from his arms and handed them to the man, and asked, "What does this person look like?" ”

The man said, "It's a man in his forties, dark-skinned, and dressed like a nearby mountain villager." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "If there is still a letter, send it over as soon as possible, and then reward it when we leave the night!" ”

After thanking Zhang Xuan, the man bowed and left.

Wang asked: "It's strange! As soon as we settled on our front feet, they sent a letter on our back feet. Are we all being tracked along the way? How else would they know where we live? ”

Tang Qiu said: "It's not like it! I specifically told them to be careful, and I myself was on guard everywhere, and I didn't find any suspicious people! ”

Zhang Xuan said: "The person who delivered the letter is probably hired to deliver the letter." ”

Silver Baby said: "Oops! Don't guess, let Tongyun open the letter and see what is written inside! ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Yinying has a point, Tongyun, let's see whose letter it is!" ”

Wang Qiandao: "Be careful that there is fraud in it, Yinying is wearing gloves, let her dismantle it!" ”

Zhang Xuan said: "That's true, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!" They poisoned the letter, but it is unknown, Tongyun, give the letter to Yinying! ”

Yinying took the letter and asked, "Tongyun, can I really dismantle it?" ”

Zhang Tongyun said with a smile: "Tear it down, Mengbai and I don't have anything to see anyone else!" ”

Yinying opened the envelope, spread out the letterhead, and everyone looked at the place where the payment was made. At the back of the letter was written: Gu Mengbai.

Yinying exclaimed: "It turned out to be written by Gu Mengbai!" ”

Zhang Tongyun said: "You read it!" ”

Yinying said: "Tongyun: I am imprisoned by my family, please come to the rescue quickly!" Gu Mengbai. Yes! Gu Mengbai was really caught! ”

Zhang Tongyun said without thinking: "Fake! ”

Silver Baby asked, "How do you know it's fake?" ”

Zhang Tongyun said: "Mengbai has always reported good news and not bad news, even if he is bullied very badly, he will still pick what I like to hear!" ”

Yinying asked: "Will it be that this time he told you the truth because he had no way to ask for help, and asked you to find someone to help him get out of trouble?" ”

Zhang Tongyun stepped forward, read the letter carefully, and said, "The letter was not written by Mengbai!" Although the person who wrote the letter tried to imitate Mengbai's handwriting, I'm sure it's not Mengbai's handwriting! ”

Xie Daoyun said: "The letter is fake, but the content of the letter is true!" ”

Yinying was puzzled: "Sister, what are you talking about?" ”

Xie Daoyun said: "That is to say, Gu Gongzi was indeed imprisoned, and then, someone wrote this letter to Tongyun in the name of Gu Gongzi." ”

Zhang Tongyun's heart jumped to her throat after hearing this, but she tried her best to restrain the uneasiness in her heart, because she didn't want to cause trouble to everyone.

Yinying asked, "Sister, why are you so sure?" ”

Xie Daoyun said: "First of all, this letter is definitely not written by Gu Gongzi, because if it is really as he said in his letter, he was imprisoned, even if he can find someone to help him deliver the letter, the letter will not be sent here." Only those who have been following us will know that we are here. Who will keep an eye on us? It's the enemy we're fighting along the way! What is the purpose of the enemy's message to Tongyun? It is to make Tongyun's heart anxious, to make us hurry up, and to let us take the mountain road. In order to achieve this goal, they couldn't just talk about panic in the letter, but really imprisoned Gu Gongzi and grabbed our handle! ”

Yinying said: "My sister said it so well! But I get it! Tongyun, don't worry, we will definitely rescue Gu Mengbai! ”

Zhang Tongyun reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Silver Baby, thank you!" Don't worry, every step is a matter of life and death now, and I won't mess around! Moreover, since they are threatening us with Mengbai, Mengbai should not be in danger of his life for the time being! ”

Wang Zhen praised: "Tongyun, you have really grown a lot!" ”

Zhang Tongyun smiled: "I have to thank you, you don't know how many times you have saved me!" ”

Xie Daoyun grabbed Zhang Tongyun's arm and said, "Tongyun, just like Yinying said, we will definitely rescue Gu Gongzi." ”

Zhang Tongyun leaned close to Xie Daoyun's body, raised his head and smiled.

Zhang Xuan asked: "Mrs. Wang, do you have a good plan for the current situation?" ”

Xie Daoyun said: "It's not a good strategy, I advocate taking the mountain road." ”

The crowd looked at her in amazement.

Zhang Xuan asked: "I know that there is an ambush on the mountain road, but I still have to walk the mountain road, why is this?" ”

Xie Daoyun said: "Gongzi Zhang, the purpose of our trip has always been two: one is to find Gu Gongzi, there are already some eyebrows, Gu Gongzi is imprisoned; The other is to take a risk, lure the snake out of the hole, let those who intend to do evil to the Zhang family take the initiative to jump out, and then beat them into fear, so that they dare not have delusions again. Now that we know that they are waiting for us in the mountain road, how can we retreat? ”

Zhang Xuan arched his hand and said: "Mrs. Wang is bold and talented, Zhang Xuan admires it!" How to do it, please Mrs. Wang make it clear! ”

Xie Daoyun said: "They want us to be impatient and rush forward, and we can't do what he wants." What I mean is to recuperate here for a few days, one is to wait for the husband to recover so that he can cope with the fierce battle that follows; The second is to wait for the official road to be restored and unimpeded. ”

Zhang Xuan asked: "What is the use of the restoration of official roads for us?" ”

Xie Daoyun said: "They seem to be very good at tracking and can accurately know our location, so the suspicious array does not work, so the smooth flow of official roads is of little use to us." However, the vain efforts to set the trap can somewhat demoralize them. After my husband recovered, I wanted to divide the soldiers into two ways, Zhang Gongzi, Tongyun, and Tang Gongzi as one way and stay in the post house; The rest of the people went all the way, carrying cars and luggage across the mountain road. When you've cleaned up the enemies, you'll come back and pick up the three! ”

Zhang Xuan, Zhang Tongyun and Tang Qiu flatly refused.

Zhang Xuan said: "You are born and died for me Zhang Xuan, how can I, Zhang Xuan, be greedy for life and afraid of death, and watch from the wall?" ”

Zhang Tongyun said: "Sister, I know that I am very useless, but I want to live and die with you!" ”

Tang Qiu said: "Let you take my responsibility to go into battle to kill the enemy, and I myself will shrink in the rear?" Mrs. Wang, this is something that Tang Qiu can't do! ”

Xie Daoyun asked, "Do the three of you want to advance and retreat with us?" ”

The three of them said in unison: "It should be so!" ”

Xie Daoyun looked at Wang Zhen helplessly.

Zhang Xuan asked, "Wang Qian, what do you mean?" ”

Wang asked: "I am on the side of the lady at all times!" The owner and Tongyun did not have the slightest combat power, and Tang Qiu protected us, which relieved our worries and was more conducive to us smoothing the road ahead. The lady's plan is thoughtful, and it is the safest way. Can you deny it? ”

Zhang Xuan, Zhang Tongyun and Tang Qiu each stated their own reasons.

Wang Zhen interrupted: "Don't worry, everyone! The lady's plan is only a preliminary plan, and it depends on the situation! ”

Zhang Xuan asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Wang asked: "The lady just said that she would recuperate here for a few days, but in fact, there is another purpose. We are not the only people who are in a hurry, the official road has been cut off, and there should be a lot of people who plan to bypass Yazui Ridge from the mountain road, after all, it is only a dozen miles, and the half-day journey is better than being trapped here. So we waited a few days to more or less know what was waiting for us on the trail ahead. ”

Silver Baby said: "It sounds cruel! ”

Xie Daoyun said: "Yinying, we have no way to remind others, because we don't know if those people will make a move. ”

Wang asked: "What the lady said is that maybe we can't wait for anything." ”

Xie Daoyun said: "The most important thing now is that the husband's body recovers as soon as possible, and the rest can be left for later." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Then let's talk about it later!" ”

Yinying said loudly: "I won't eat a blood-tonifying meal tonight, it's too hot, I have been dreaming last night!" ”

Everyone said, "Me too!" ”

Xie Daoyun smiled and said: "In this case, the husband will open a small stove alone!" ”

Continuously eating blood-replenishing ingredients, Wang Zhi is also hot and dry, but fortunately, Xie Daoyun helped him reduce the fire.

The next day, Tang Qiu rode to the front to check the blocking of the official road, and did not come back until noon. The crowd stepped forward to inquire about the results.

Tang Qiu shook his head and said, "That boulder is much bigger than I imagined, sealing the valley to death, leaving almost no gaps. The government of the nearby county sent craftsmen to the scene to inspect it, and I went up to ask and learned that the stone was too big to be moved, and it would take at least half a month to open the official road only a little by chiseling. ”

Xie Daoyun said: "We can't wait that long, Fujun's body and blood will recover and leave." ”

Tang Qiu said: "The strange thing is that the craftsmen of the government surveyed the boulder and found that the texture of this big rock did not match the nearby geological landform, and thought that the boulder did not belong here. Craftsmen marvel at how the boulders were transported from elsewhere. ”

Zhang Xuan sighed: "Our opponent is really powerful!" ”

Wang Zhen said: "At least let us know that the other party's secret technique can carry boulders." ”

That's all there is to it, and the rest is just a matter of waiting. Everyone should eat, sleep, and spend their time.

Since the afternoon, the number of people staying in the inn has been increasing, because the news of the boulder road closure has long been spreading.

In the afternoon, the people and horses who were in a hurry in the morning and decided to take the mountain road ran back to one person. The man looked terrified, his head was broken, and he was covered in blood. The director of the inn and the man hurriedly helped him inside, took care of him to sit down, and offered strong tea to help him stabilize his mood.

The idle guests in the inn heard about this and hurried to inquire, and Wang Zhen was among them.
