Chapter 245: Departure North

Zhao Yunlan handed over all the affairs of the capital to Li Mingyi, and Li Dashan and they were also going back to Lijia Village, this time Lin Youjin followed Li Dashan's team over, and Li Bao and Ding Fengying temporarily stayed in the capital to cooperate with Li Mingyi's side of the matter.

There are many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, and they are just starting out, so Li Mingyi naturally has to keep an eye on them more. At the same time, Zhao Yunlan also asked Li Mingyi to keep an eye on the house in the capital, and take it down when he encounters a suitable one. The lease period of the house on Huaiyuan Street is also approaching, although the house is smaller, the landlord is not willing to sell, so Zhao Yunlan's idea of buying the house was dispelled in an instant.

Zhao Yunlan took Chunxiang and Li Hua's escort team, but she still felt that there were not enough people, so she went to buy some subordinates, a mother-in-law, two maids, and five strong men who knew some kung fu. These strong men are all from big families, and the nursing home that they used to make in the big house was brought home by Zhao Yunlan as soon as they were sold.

"Granny Tang, if you don't understand something, ask Chunxiang, Xiaozhen Xiaoman, you two follow Chunxiang first."

"Yes, ma'am." After the three of them saluted, they went to pack their luggage with Haruka.

At this time, Lin Youjin came and held a roll of what looked like a sheepskin in his hand.

Li Mingren asked, "What is Brother Lin taking?" ”

"It's the road map."

"From the north?" Li Mingren's eyes lit up, and the corners of Zhao Yunlan's mouth unconsciously raised.

Lin Youjin smiled and nodded: "Some forks in the road are not particularly accurate, but they should also come in handy, and I have also marked some places where robbers may haunt." ”

Li Mingren: "Great, thank you Brother Lin." ”

Lin Youjin shook his head: "Let's not say these polite words, but I'm afraid that you won't bring enough people." ”

In fact, there are not many people in those bandit gangs, but after all, they have fought with real swords and guns, and although the newly formed escort team of the Li family looks fierce and domineering there, they have little actual combat experience.

Li Mingren: "Well, there is news from the county order over there that someone will be sent to pick us up, so it shouldn't be a big problem." ”

"Okay, everything is self-centered."

Three days later, two teams set off from the capital.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, be careful on the road, and write to me when you arrive." Li Mingyi said worriedly.

Li Mingren: "Okay, don't worry. ”

After Li Dashan and Lin Youjin said goodbye to Li Mingren and his wife, they drove the carriage first.

Zhao Yunlan: "The affairs of the capital are hard for the second brother, and the second brother is more concerned about the down." ”

Li Mingyi nodded, and now the storefront of the restaurant that was vacated to sell down products has been hung with a plaque, and he will start selling it when the weather is cold again. But before this, Zhao Yunlan asked Li Mingren to send a duvet to the Wen family and the Zhou family, which was not only a personal exchange, but also the meaning of letting the two families make a live advertisement.

Of course, the Zhou family also gave one more backpack for men and women. Although Wen Zhiyu is Li Mingren's fellow countryman, he has a closer relationship with Zhou Hanwen since he came to the capital, after all, Zhou Hanwen has been running back and forth several times these days in order to get more news about Li Mingren's election officials.

The carriage drove out of the capital.

"Yunlan, Brother Hanwen also sent me a gift yesterday." Li Mingren took out a small wooden box from his baggage.

Zhao Yunlan took it and opened it, "This dagger is really beautiful." "The dagger is inlaid with a sapphire, which is very flattering to Li Mingren. Zhao Yunlan pulled out the dagger, wanting to learn to feel the sharpness of the dagger on TV, but was immediately stopped by Li Mingren.

"Be careful to cut your hand." Li Mingren inserted the dagger back and continued: "Brother Zhou also said that he borrowed a few secret guards for me to protect the safety of the two of us. ”

Zhao Yunlan said curiously: "Secret guard? Are you sure? Where? "I thought that this week's family is really not simple, it turns out that there is really an organization like the secret guard.

Li Mingren: "I don't know where it is, I should follow nearby, this secret guard has been there since he was a child, and he has always protected him." If nothing else, we should not be able to see them. ”

Zhao Yunlan nodded, arousing her curiosity, but there was no way to get verification, so she had to rely on the carriage to close her eyes and recuperate. What followed was another period of hard work.

"I hope we can make a smooth journey and arrive safely." Zhao Yunlan squinted her eyes and said in a daze.

I haven't left the capital too far, so the road is quite flat, and I can see some people from time to time. Before long, the group arrived in Qingfeng County, and Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren decided to have lunch here and continue on their way. Qingfeng County is a necessary place to enter and exit the capital, because this time to leave Beijing to the north, the route is different from the time he came, so Li Mingren does not plan to stay in Qingfeng County.

Moreover, Qingfeng County is far from the next foothold, and it can be reached in time if you are in a hurry.

After the meal, the husband and wife set off without much delay, Zhao Yunlan knew that they had to hurry immediately, and they didn't dare to eat too much, so as not to be thrown up by the carriage.

Now that the day is cold, it is darker earlier, and at this time Li Hua has already raised a torch in front of the carriage, just to rush to Qizhou.

Li Mingren lifted the curtain, looked at the twilight outside, looked at the light in front of him from afar, and thought that it was coming.

"Yunlan, you're about to enter the city."

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "Well, find a nearby inn to stay for one night." ”

The group entered the city, and soon found an inn near the gate of the city, the accommodation conditions of this inn were not bad, but the food was not very appetizing, Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan didn't care about it, and went to bed to rest after eating and washing.

Because it may not be so easy to rush after that, out of Qizhou, it will take about two days to travel north to reach the next foothold, which means that there is a night in the middle of the night.

On the second day, when Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan were about to set off, they found that He Wen was missing, and when they were about to send Li Hua to look for it, they saw He Wen rushing over with a big bag and a small bag.

"Madam, sir, I went to buy some medicine. I checked some luggage last night and was worried that I didn't have enough medicine to prepare, so I went to the pharmacy again early in the morning. ”

Li Mingren nodded, and Zhao Yunlan said: "Well, this kind of thing must be reported in the future, even if we sleep, you have to say a word to Chunxiang or Ye Sheng." ”

He Wen: "Yes, the little one didn't think about it last night, and he didn't think about it in the morning." ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, pay attention next time, but this time you should be punished, so I will punish you for this month's monthly case." ”

He Wen did not complain, but said respectfully: "Yes, madam." ”

When she was out of the house, Zhao Yunlan has always been accustomed to keeping track of everyone's dynamics, probably when she was a teacher before, Zhao Yunlan was used to taking children to outdoor activities, and if you want to act alone, you must say it in advance.

Of course, Zhao Yunlan cultivated He Wen as a housekeeper, so she had to pick out more details about He Wen, and from He Wen she had to start restraining her, so that He Wen could help restrain other people in the family in the future.
