Chapter 137 Arrived in Luoyang
"You let me down, I can walk by myself......" Lin Yue struggled so weakly that every inch of his muscles and bones hurt.
Song Che said: "I should have been wrong before. ”
"What's wrong?"
"I should call them colleagues, not your sisters," Song Che glanced at the woman in his arms, "When you fought with that big man, they could have come to help you, but they were indifferent. You're hurt, and they should have come to your aid, but they didn't. ”
Lin Yue was sad, there was self-deprecating pathos in his eyes, and he said softly: "You have observed carefully......"
"A woman shouldn't be covered in wounds, right?" Song Che asked again.
Lin Yue turned to look at the bright moon in the sky, his eyes were like autumn waves, and he was deliberately uneasy.
A woman with a slightly better family will not come to take care of the home and do this kind of business of licking blood on the knife.
Song Che carried Lin Yue back to the car, left the iodophor potion and a painkiller, and asked Han Xiang to take care of it, while he continued to go into the village to supervise the bandits.
This gang of bandits, burning, killing and looting, even children are not spared, everyone is guilty, everyone deserves to die.
The fire burned half the sky red and burned out half the night.
At the end of the night, everything came to an abrupt end.
The aroma of charred meat mixed with the smell of fireworks, and the fresh morning dew soaked the blood all over the ground. Panlong Mountain is shrouded in a mysterious black veil.
The sergeants were disgraced and smiled with white teeth, which was the joy of victory in the war.
"Aunt Song, don't leave any of them, give them all to his mother!"
"Good! Everyone go to wash their faces, let's go over Panlong Mountain in one go, and stay in the county town ahead, my uncle will invite you to a big meal! ”
There are at least four or five hundred bandits tonight, and there are still remnants in the cottage to protect Qi.
Song Che reorganized the captured horses into a cavalry, held high the heads of the bandits, and swaggered into Panlong Mountain.
The caravan set off on the fifth watch, all the way unimpeded, and it was noon to descend the mountain.
Last night, after fighting continuously and crossing mountains and mountains, the sergeants were already tired, and Song Che divided the Suzhou army and the Shouzhou army into two groups and took turns to rest and rest.
In the afternoon, the sun's fire faded and the caravan continued its journey.
When the night came, he arrived in Zao County smoothly, and Song Che chartered the largest hotel in the county, allowing the sergeants to drink happily and make up for the joy of last night's victory.
After resting in Zao County for one night, the next day, the mission of the Shouzhou Army was completed and preparations were ready to return.
"Uncle Song, I have offended a lot before, my Wang Zhi is a first-order rough person, please bear with me!"
Last night's battle has made Wang Zhi convinced.
"Song is not a stingy person," Song Che said with a smile: "Although most of the bandits in Panlong Mountain have been exterminated, there must still be remnants of evil, General Wang returned to Shouzhou this time, and he should immediately ask Han Lao Xianggong to take advantage of his illness to kill him, and send troops to break the cottage." ”
Wang Zhi admired it from the bottom of his heart and bowed deeply, "With Aunt Song here, the princess will definitely be safe and sound." With that, the leader left Zao County.
Zao County ordered fifty guards to escort the caravan to departure.
The eighteenth day of the journey.
The caravan arrived at Yingzhou City, less than four hundred miles from Luoyang.
Although he walked with the princess as a backer, the closer he got to the goal, the more uneasy Song Che's heart became.
Luoyang is the imperial capital, seemingly safe but full of dangers, and the powerful can kill people with a snap of their fingers.
Night.
It's still deep.
Although the Yingzhou Mansion tried its best to invite him into the city, Song Che politely refused, and only stopped at a post thirty miles outside the city with the caravan.
On a sunny summer evening, Song Che leaned on the windowsill alone, pillowing on the breeze, waiting for news.
Counting the days, it should be about the same.
"Flutter Flutter Flutter ......"
A white pigeon landed on the windowsill, Song Che picked up the rice ear and fed it, and said with a smile: "If you come later, I really think you are a pigeon." ”
He took off the creed on the feet of the white dove, and the good news was that the cargo ship had arrived in Nanjing Yingtian today, and would arrive in Bianliang, Tokyo, tomorrow, and Luoyang, Xijing, the day after tomorrow.
Song Che finally breathed a sigh of relief, burned the creed to ashes, and casually called: "Xu Dutou." ”
Moment.
Xu Xiao pushed the door in: "Something?" ”
Song Che covered the doors and windows, "Don't be surprised when you hear what I'm going to say next." ”
Xu Xiao squinted his eyes, "That must be very surprising." ”
Song Che lowered his voice: "Tomorrow's fourth watch, I will drive with the princess first, and then you set a fire and burn all the fifty cars of coins." ”
Xu Xiao couldn't hide his shock, and frowned, "There must be a reason for what you have assigned, I fully believe it, but there are more than two hundred brothers outside, and most of them will not be able to understand when they travel thousands of miles." ”
After all, only Song Che and He Qiu knew about the plan of "Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang", and it was common sense not to understand it.
Song Che briefly explained the plan to Xu Xiao, and Xu Xiao disappeared from the surprise in his expression, but he was puzzled: "There is still a distance from Luoyang, will there be a change if you destroy the goods so early?" ”
Song Che shook his head and said: "Out of Yingzhou Mansion, it is the imperial city to accompany the capital, the 'chicken feather order arrow' that He Qiu gave me is no longer useful, and the gecko broke its tail earlier, saving the bad guys from painstaking calculations, and we ourselves are also bothering." ”
He said to Xu Xiao again: "After you burn the goods tomorrow, you have to appease the sergeants, but you don't have to tell them the plan, just tell them to rest assured and go back to Suzhou City to receive the reward." ”
Xu Xiao nodded, hesitated and asked, "So, you want to break into Luoyang alone?" Can you? ”
"A real man, how can you say that you can't do it?" Song Che took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Xiaodao: "This letter from home is bothered to bring to my wife, telling her not to worry, I will return as promised." ”
"Luoyang is not as good as Jiangnan, you have to be very careful."
Xu Xiao clenched his fists and left the room.
Next.
Four watches.
Lin Yue and the female swordsmen prepared the carriage and horses long before the princess's mother and son got up.
The princess was not a delicate person, and she took her daughter, who was still asleep, and stepped into the carriage.
Song Che pushed the wheelbarrow, walked to the front of the car, and greeted Lin Yue with a smile, "I'm afraid that I will be the only one walking with you on the next journey." ”
In the past four watches, the caravan was ready to go, but today there was no action at all, Lin Yue couldn't help but wonder: "You don't plan to escort it personally?" Or is your caravan going on a different route? ”
"It's inconvenient to disclose, anyway, from today onwards, I'll be in charge of catching the car."
Lin Yue didn't ask any more questions, after a few days of getting along, she believed in Song Che more than anyone else, and rode on the horse with the female swordsman.
Song Che loaded the wheelbarrow onto the wheelbarrow and sat in the driver's seat.
Spur the horse and set off for Luoyang.
Jingzhou Avenue is spacious, flat and easy to walk, originally thirty miles of a post, here there are ten miles, not counting the wine shops along the way, tea stalls, anyway, rest and supply do not have to worry at all.
Without the caravan dragging, the carriage was much faster, and it was not a big problem to arrive in Luoyang within two days.
"Mr. Song, you're tired all day, you might as well come and sit in the car." Han Xiang greeted.
If it weren't for Song Che really having something, he wouldn't have dared to enter the princess's carriage.
Song was interrupted.
Song Che took out a bag of ice drink from the refrigerator of the wheelbarrow, got into the carriage and handed it to the little county lord.
The little girl looked forward to this bite every day, and poured it into her mouth while holding the bag.
"This kid, can't even say thank you?" Han Xiang shook her head in reproach.
The little girl said sweetly: "Thank you, Uncle Song!" ”
Lin Yue took over from Song Che and sat in the coachman's position, opening half of the carriage door, and glancing inside the carriage from time to time, for fear that Song Che, a big man, would slighten the princess.
"Don't hide it, when you enter the princess's car, you have something to ask for."
"Mr. treated Tan'er, and assisted my father to suppress bandits, and took good care of my mother and daughter along the way, don't say that you come to beg, when I get to Xijing, I will definitely find a way to repay Mr. for his great kindness," Han Xiang paused, thought about it, and said:
"My husband Zhao Heng has a lot of prestige in Luoyang, and when he returns to Beijing on a business trip, I can ask him to recommend Mr. to enter the house, and with Mr. 's talent, he will definitely be able to be reused by the king."
Song Che shook his head and bluntly refused: "Song has never been interested in officialdom."
Han Xiang couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
Lin Yue said softly: "Pawn, you are a little ignorant, just ask how many people in the world today can be recommended by the King of Anyang, this favor is not comparable to your Luoyang Mansion Yin."
I don't know what to do, but if I don't want to do it, how can I force it?
"In the past, before the war in Xiliang started, the Kingdom of the Western Regions once sent a blue blood agate, and I will give it to Mr." Han Xiang said.
"Such a rarity, even if Mrs. gives it away, it will be absolutely unacceptable," Song Che still refused, and said: "I just ask Mrs. to help me transfer that batch of New Year's coins in Luoyang." ”
Han Xiang was puzzled: "New Year's coin...... Why do I need to transfer it? ”
Song Che talked about the risks of transporting the New Year's coins this time, as well as his worries about Luoyang's internal affairs, and told Han Xiang about it, and then said: "If the New Year's coins can be placed in the palace, those traitors will not dare to snoop." ”
Han Xiang hesitated for a long time, and had the intention of refusing: "It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that my husband is on business in Beijing, although the prince is a prince, he is not a minister, and he never participates in the court's deception......"
Of course she was smart, knowing that if she touched it, she would be dragged down the puddle.
"Madame, don't worry, I have my own clever plan to quietly transport the New Year's coins into the palace," Song Che said, and said: "Moreover, the New Year's coins are related to the national fortune of the Great Liang, and the prince, as a member of the Zhao royal family, will definitely be willing to help with this." ”
Han Xiang was silent for a long time, and sighed lightly: "What should I do?" ”
Song "According to this speed, I can arrive in Luoyang tomorrow at night, and I will send the New Year's coin to the palace in the morning of the next day, please ask my wife to help me introduce a degree of branch, and when the delivery is completed, the matter will be over;
Madame doesn't need to deliberately ask someone to greet her, I will deliver it as soon as I can, if I can leave a token, that is the best,"
At this point, Song Che glanced at Lin Yue, who was driving the horse, and said with a smile: "In my opinion, Lin Nuxia's sword is good." ”
Lin Yuexiu frowned slightly, "Swordsman, the sword doesn't leave you, why do you want my sword?" ”
Song Che smiled: "The sword is not good, and the whip is also good." ”
"Sister Lin, the token naturally has to be returned, so you can borrow Mr. Song once." Han Xiang persuaded him.
Lin Yue pursed his lips, although he was very reluctant, he also acquiesced.
Two days later, the second watch.
The carriage staggered into Luoyang City.
Even if it's late at night, the streets are still full of traffic, pedestrians coming and going, all kinds of vendors, and even many exotic faces.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has not arrived, the festive has been sent to the market in advance, thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, thousands of lights are bright, and people are dazzled.
There are poems:
Outside the mountain, when will the West Lake sing and dance?
The warm breeze smokes the tourists drunk, and Hangzhou is regarded as Bianzhou!
In fact, people will only find when they arrive in Kyoto, and then it is the tender Jiangnan water town, where can it compare to the flowery Luoyang?
"My sword is very sharp, don't unsheath it at will, let alone stain it, you will return it to me tomorrow, understand?" Lin Yue took off the saddle sword and reluctantly handed it to Song Che.
"Don't worry, Lady Lin, tomorrow will definitely give you a big surprise."
Song Che took the sword, said goodbye to the princess, turned around and didn't take a few steps, and then disappeared into the crowd.
