Volume 1 Chapter 55 My aunt is seriously ill
Early the next morning, when everyone went to see Lu Yun again, they saw that Lu Yun had already set up the guard of honor and was ready to leave Hailing.
Xu He found his uncle Xu Song and Xie Kun in the crowd who were in a state of mind and apparently hadn't slept all night.
Thinking about it, Lu Yun went south from Beijing to Hangzhou to take up his post, and took the Grand Canal waterway to Yangzhou to get off the boat and cross the river, without detouring to Hailing at all.
Xu He estimated that he had made a special detour to find these two people to discuss the matter of exterminating the widows.
Before leaving, Li Zhijie sent Zhuangxing wine to the old ministry on behalf of Hailing County, although Lu Yun is a civil official, he has been leading troops all these years, and he does not have the vanity of a civilian official.
I saw him take the wine cup and drink it and said with a smile: "But it doesn't hurt the white-haired old man to make the carving murderous." Is Xu He here? ”
Xu He came out of the crowd and bowed and saluted: "I wish the Lord of the Ministry Hall a victory and success!" ”
Lu Yun laughed: "Accept your auspicious words!" ”
Speaking of this, he took out a shark sheath sword from the hand of the sergeant behind him, and pulled out the sword one by one, only to see that the sword body was like a pool of autumn water, and the chill was pressing.
Seeing this, everyone exclaimed: "What a good sword!" ”
Lu Yunmo held the sword body, it seemed that he couldn't put it down, and after a while, he withdrew the sword into the scabbard and handed it to Xu He: "The old man can't be plain about your two good poems, this sword has followed me since my governor Xuanda and Shanxi, and now I give it to you!" ”
Seeing Xu He take the sword, Lu Yun reluctantly said: "The name of this sword is [Bai Hong], do you know the source?" ”
Xu He thought for a while and said, "Tang Li Qiao's poems? ”
Lu Yun laughed and said to Xu Song beside him: "Your nephew is really rich and rich!" ”
Xu Song smiled slightly: "Let the adults of the ministry laugh!" ”
Lu Yun recited with his hand: "I have the Kunwu sword, and I ask for the master's court."
When the white rainbow cuts the jade, the purple gas dries the star at night.
The hibiscus on the hoe moves, and the frost and snow in the box are bright.
Relying on the sky to serve the country, painting the land to take the male name. ”
"Xu He, I hope you will hold this sword, cut the thief and kill the enemy, be famous, and rely on the sky to serve the country!"
At this moment, the voice of Lu Yun, a thin old man, was so deafening that everyone present was shaken and excited.
Xu He was also infected by his voice, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, he only felt that his chest was hot, and he seemed to have some emotions accumulating.
Lu Yun obviously felt his excitement, nodded at him slightly, and then got on his horse and went out of the city with everyone's blessing.
Looking at the honor guard in the distance, Xu He felt as if he was in a dream, but the cold touch of the sharkskin in his hand reminded him that everything was real.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and Lu Yun's team gradually disappeared into the distance.
At this time, a sigh came from Xu He's ear: "I want to serve the country with this length, why should I be born in Yumen Pass." ”
When he turned his head, he found that the person who spoke was his uncle, who liked to scare people.
"Uncle Shi, aren't you optimistic about Lu Butang's trip?" Xu He asked.
Xie Kun shook his head: "The rebellion of the Japanese Invaders is likely to become more and more intense, and it is imperative that the imperial court should use the momentum of thunder and send a large army to suppress it in order to deter the southeast." ”
"The southeast has been peaceful for a long time, and the guard is corrupt and unusable, and he Lu Yun only has 8,000 border troops, and he pounced on the south, and the north burned again; The east side was suppressed, and the west side was noisy. How long will this widow go? ”
"Besides, although Lu Yun is the same year as Qin Yan, he has never joined the Qin Party, in case this widow often can't destroy the emperor and blame him, the first person to be pushed out by the Qin Party as a substitute for the dead ghost is the old man!"
Xu He hurriedly said when he heard this: "Then uncle, did you tell Lu Butang this?" ”
The corners of Xie Kun's mouth twitched, turned around and walked towards the yamen, and the moment he turned around, Xu He heard him say in a low voice: "He's a fool!" ”
……
After Xie Kun left, Xu He was just about to go back to Huibin Building first to wait for Qian Jizu to come back, but he didn't expect the uncle Xu Song to stop him again.
"I heard that you have been studying with Xie Kun recently?" Xu Song looked at the direction Xie Kun left and said warmly.
Xu He nodded.
"Ahem! He is a famous person in the sea, he has the talent of a famous person, and he also has the problems of a famous person, you follow him to study, you want to take the essence of it and remove its dross! Got it? Xu Song coughed twice and continued.
Although Xu He didn't know what was going on on the Xu family's side of the sect.
But at present, Xu Song doesn't seem to know that Xu Dai wants to let him join the Feng family.
Just when he was hesitant to tell Xu Song about this, suddenly a figure in the distance attracted his attention.
"Little Crane, Little Crane, you are here, but you can find me to death!" When Xu Peng saw Xu He, he couldn't breathe, and he held his knees and coughed for a long time before he recovered.
"What's wrong? Brother Peng! Xu He was taken aback.
Xu Peng said: "Hurry up, there is news from your aunt's family in Dong'an, saying that your aunt is very sick, and my aunt is very anxious when she hears about this, and says that she wants to go to Dong'an in person, and we can't stop it!" ”
Speaking of this, Xu Peng looked to his side, it didn't matter, and he was suddenly startled: "Big, uncle!" ”
Only then did Xu Song know that the black and thin young man in front of him was also his Xu family.
He didn't miss a word for what he said just now, so he nodded at Xu Peng, and then said to Xu He: "You hurry up and go back and have a look!" Ahem......"
……
When Xu He came to the house, he found that Xu Peng's mother was persuading the Xie family.
The old captain also helped to persuade on the side: "You are a female streamer, and it is inconvenient for you to go out by yourself, let's talk about it when Xiaohe comes back!" ”
Xie Shi said anxiously on his face: "Uncle Parents, you know, our family has been in difficulty all these years, and sometimes we have eaten the last meal without the next meal, if it weren't for my brother's help, maybe our mother and son would have starved to death." ”
"On weekdays, two or three coins of silver, my brother and sister have never said a word of complaint."
"The person with the letter said that she was very sick, in case she died, no one in our family was present, and my heart would not be at ease in this life!"
When Xu He heard this sentence outside the hospital, he immediately remembered that his family seemed to owe his uncle three coins of silver.
The family was in difficulty before, and the ancestral few acres of paddy fields were favored by the Huang family, if it weren't for the uncle's trust to hand over the silver to help tide over the difficulties, maybe the Xu family's previous situation would have been even worse.
"Mother, I'm back!" Xu He pushed the door in, "Don't go, I'll go!" ”
"You?" Xie shook his head: "No, no, now it is rumored that the bandits in Jiangyanpu are fierce, they robbed Taixing a few days ago, the road is too unsafe, you are the pillar of the family, you can't go!" ”
Yes, if you don't go to a Tibetan man, do you shrink back at home and let your mother go out on adventures?
No one can do this kind of bird thing!
"Mother, don't worry, I heard about the situation of the bandits from the county order teacher, this gang of bandits was killed by Caojiang Yushi and his troops after robbing the library, and now, the remaining thieves went north to Huai'an Mansion!"
Xie Shi was still a little uneasy when he heard this.
The reason is that Jiangyanpu and Dong'an Town, where the bandits are entrenched, are both in the east of Hailing County.
If you go to the Dong'an Inspection Division where Xu He's uncle is located, you have to take a boat to carry the Salt River through Jiangyanpu.
Although this group of thieves went to Taixing, God knows that there are no thieves left behind in the Qintong swamp next to Jiangyanpu.
If you don't take this road, there is still a salt river to the north leading to Dong'an, but the thieves are going north, and this road is not easy to walk.
In the end, all that remained was a detour from the south.
To the south is Taixing County, which has just been plundered, first go south from Hailing, and then take the Hexia Trail to detour.
Lao Jia walked this road when he was young, he thought about it and felt that it was quite safe, so he said to Xu He: "In this case, let Brother Peng follow you, and there will be a care on the road." ”
Xu He nodded in response.
Seeing this, Xu Peng hurriedly went out to hire a boat!
