Chapter 163: The ship leaves Kaifeng
When the convoy was over, Mr. Che You looked blankly at the empty bluestone road in front of him, and his mind was blank. Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from my ear: "May Mr. Che go with the convoy." ”
Mr. Che You turned around and saw a young man he didn't recognize. The young man introduced himself: "A certain Guo clan, the father of the clan is now the son. ”
Mr. Che You looked at it carefully, and could vaguely distinguish Mr. Guo's shadow, calmed down his mood, and said, "Why?" ”
Guo Zhong replied, "I don't know." That is, he turned to the workshop. Mr. Che You was stunned and felt that it was inconvenient to chase Guo Zhongjin, so he could only choose to believe what Guo Zhongjin said and tiptoe away.
Kaifeng Jinkou, the loading of the goods has been completed, Mr. Li paid 20 yuan as agreed, and this group of strong forces left. Mr. Li stood at the bow of the boat, waiting for Mr. Che You and another mysterious visitor. When he was young, a young man came over, bowed on the shore, and said, "Mr. Che presents Mr. Li, it is inconvenient, may Mr. Li go first." ”
Mr. Li was stunned when he heard this, and came ashore to stare at Guo Zhongjin and said, "Who are you, but I know Mr. Che." ”
Guo Zhong said solemnly: "The father of the clan is the son, so he knows it." Former helpers, and the generation of the fathers of the Zheng family. ”
Mr. Li said: "Asked on the counter, what can I do? ”
Guo Zhong said solemnly: "Mr. Che will explain. ”
Mr. Li looked at the empty dock and had to respond: "I wish to have a quality to rely on." ”
Guo Zhongjin felt a little surprised and said, "Mr. Che has nothing to leave behind. ”
Mr. Li said, "The things of the son are also obtained." ”
Guo Zhongjin touched his body and found a bamboo joint, which was written "Kaifeng Xiyi", which was a festival symbol. Now that the post station has been broken by the Qin army, it is natural that the new section will be remade when the post is reopened, and this festival charm should be useless, so he handed this piece of bamboo to Mr. Li and said: "The boy obtained from the old post can be regarded as a quality." ”
Mr. Li looked at the words on the festival and thought that it should be used as proof of identity, so he took it into his arms and gave it to the ship. Guo Zhongjin also turned to leave.
The bell of the forbidden city finally rang, and it seemed to be a little later than usual. Mr. Li finally gave up. There were many boats on Tsu, and the sailors on the shore untied the ropes one by one, and the boatmen who untied the ropes stretched out the boats and slid them out of the waterway. Mr. Lee's boat was in the middle, and it didn't take long for the cable to be untied, and the boatman slid the boat into the main channel, adjusted its course, and headed upstream. Due to the festival issued by the Qin people on the ship, the Qin army did not intercept the pass along the way, and sailed out of the boundary of Kaifeng smoothly. Mr. Li, who had been sitting in the bow of the boat, let out a sigh of relief, turned around and walked into the cabin, and was suddenly stunned: there was a person sitting in the cabin with a gray beard. Seeing Mr. Li come in, the man turned around and turned out to be Zhang Lu.
Zhang Lu was specially invited by Mr. Che You. At that time, as soon as the boat came out of the girder, Mr. Che You let him dock, and after a long time, he actually helped this gentleman with a rickety body and a white beard to get on the boat. If it weren't for Mr. Che You's introduction, Mr. Li would almost treat him as an old immortal monster. But listening to the voice, it seems to have some confidence. Although he is rickety, he is quite agile and does not need to be supported when he gets on the boat along the plank. Mr. Che You said that this Mr. Zhang Lu is a genius in the world. Zhang Lu didn't dare to say if he was surprised, but this dignity was strange enough.
Now that he suddenly saw Zhang Lu appear in the cabin, Mr. Li hurriedly stepped forward, ignoring the etiquette, and asked in a low voice: "Why is Mr. Zhang here, where is Mr. Che?" ”
Zhang Lu raised his hand to his chest and said, "Mr. Li doesn't need to be surprised, Mr. Che has been rescued by Wei Gongzi and is now fine." It was inconvenient for the ministers, so they dived into the boat and landed outside the city of Daliang. Here only Mr. Che entrusted the patient. ”
Mr. Li said: "What Mr. asks, should be remembered. Dare to ask where Mr. Che is? Who is the messenger? Why did the gentleman board the boat? ”
Zhang Lu said: "Mr. Che has gone with Gongzi Wei to join the Wei army, and it is expected that there will be no obstacles." Kaifeng Order, Wei Gongzi's men rescued him, and he will be fine......"
Before Zhang Lu could finish his words, Mr. Li shouted out in surprise: "Kaifeng Order, Captain?!" Zhang Lu immediately stopped it with his hand. Mr. Li quickly covered his mouth, looking incredulous.
Zhang Lu looked at Mr. Li quietly, waited for him to calm down, and said slowly: "With the virtue of Mr., this matter is still not good. It is difficult to be powerful, and it is inevitable that the family will be ruined unintentionally. ”
Mr. Li's face changed again, and he couldn't reply for a long time, but finally relieved himself and said, "Mr. is right." ”
Zhang Lu still looked at him quietly and said calmly: "What I said before, Mr. should forget; Mr. worked as a reporter, and I was a seriously ill person entrusted by my dear friend to seek medical treatment in Daliang. I don't know the rest, and even my surname ......"
Mr. Li's face changed again, but this time he quickly regained his composure and arched his hand: "Just as Mr. said." The two were speechless for a long time, and Mr. Li said, "Mr. is seriously ill and cannot sit for a long time, please lie down." The minister patrolled outside the cabin and looked for land. ”
Zhang Lu said: "Sir, please take care of yourself, Hugh thinks of the minister." ”
Mr. Li walked out of the cabin and let the cold wind blow on his face, so that the chaotic brain gradually cleared up. The only thing he knew now was Zhang Lu's words reminding him: The people in the cabin were seriously ill entrusted by their best friends, and they went to Daliang to seek medical treatment, but they didn't know the rest. I don't know, including his name, including Mr. Che. But the boatman on the boat is in the girder shop, and when Mr. Zhang Lu got on the boat, they also looked at it, and they had to watch it when they got off the boat, how could they hide it?
"Alas! Let's go through it for a while. Mr. Li thought dejectedly. He took out the bamboo with "Kaifeng Xiyi" written on it from his arms and looked at it blankly. I still want to leave evidence everywhere, but if I reveal the matter, I am afraid that there will be no place to die. He wanted to throw the bamboo into the river, but he was afraid that the bamboo would be light, and it would be very eye-catching if it floated on the water, and it would be even more complete if it was picked up. Or take it home and burn it clean.
Who is Mr. Che? I only knew that he was introduced by Hou Huan and brought over by Chen Si, and the shopkeeper was very enthusiastic about him. Although Mr. Che is wearing a long shirt, he is full of morale, is he also a famous son? And this Mr. Zhang Lu, a genius in the world? His appearance is not good, his language is not amazing, what is strange? Is it really the genius of the world, why is he so down? Why do you have to be a scholar, but it's a short brown, and even the long shirt was put on later, so it's a genius?
How can there be a matter of opening the seal and the captain? That's a big man, and it's hot, if this is known to the Qin people, he will lose his head immediately! Yes, this thing must be bitten, no, I don't know. But if you can also participate in it, it will be beautiful, how can you also glorify the township - why didn't Mr. Che call me, anyway, there is a tall man on top of the sky when the sky falls...... No, a stone fell on my head, and the account was settled immediately, so forget it.
and Wei Gongzi...... Can you see each other?
While thinking about it, Daliang City was already in sight. Mr. Li hurriedly collected his thoughts and directed the ship to stop in a secluded place. I went into the cabin and asked Mr. Zhang Lu to get off the ship.
Zhang Lu got off the boat along the slightly steep footboard and quickly disappeared into the vast night. And the boat did not row back to the main channel, but went down at the edge of the river, waiting for the girder to open the water gate after dawn.
Naturally, interaction with the defending sergeants was indispensable. As a salesman in one of the few grain stores in the city, Mr. Li is very familiar with sergeants and officials at all levels, which is his scope of business.
