Li Yu wore a hat, rode a horse, and walked slowly on the road to Longquan. Although it is now the seventh month of Mengqiu, the weather in the early morning is still deeply stuffy. Li Yu remembered the years when his mother had just died, and every Chinese New Year, Jian Xin would take Li Yu to Longquan to visit his grandfather Ouyang Jian. But as Li Yu grew up, there was only one visit a year, which made Li Yu's impression of Zhurenmen gradually blurred. In the past two years, I haven't even visited the door for the New Year. Usually going to Longquan, Li Yu sits in the carriage, and others drive the carriage, so Li Yu doesn't need to worry about the trip. Now Li Yu is alone, and he only knows the direction of going to Longquan, but he is not clear at all about how to go. Riding horses, walking and stopping, from time to time, and asking for directions on the way, so three days have passed, but not much has been walked. Li Yu walked to a small town, next to a tea shed, and stopped to dismount. took down the hat, sat in the tea shed to rest, asked for some food and tea, and asked Xiao Er: "Have a pot of tea and food." Little Er, what kind of boundary is this? ”

Xiao Er brought a basket of steamed buns and a pot of tea, and said, "Guest officer, this is the boundary of Shenzhou, and if you walk twenty or thirty miles to the northeast, it will be Xinyang County." ”

Li Yu was a little helpless, he walked for two or three days, and he hadn't even left Henan, so he continued to ask: "Little Er, which direction should I go to Longquan if I want to?" ”

Xiao Er said: "Yo, guest officer, Longquan is relatively far, and it will take at least three days to ride a fast horse." If you go to Longquan, then you will leave our town and go southeast. ”

Li Yu gave the little two a tael of silver, and said, "I'm sorry for you, Xiao Er, this is my tea money." The extra money will be rewarded to you. "This Li Yu has never been out much, and he spends money in Luoyang lavishly, so he naturally doesn't know the usual prices. In this town, this pot of tea and a steamed bun are only 180 yuan. But Li Yu directly took out a tael of silver, because he felt that a tael of silver would definitely be enough.

When Xiao Er saw Yinzi, he naturally smiled very happily and said, "Thank you, officer, if there is anything, you can tell me again." By the way, I have to tell you something, if you want to go to Longquan, it is best to bypass the place in the town of Xiaolin in front of you. ”

Li Yu asked, "Oh? Why is that? ”

Xiao Er said: "Recently, I heard that there was a group of bandits who blocked the road and robbed a lot of caravans, and now many people don't dare to pass over there, so if you move forward, it's better to bypass." ”

Li Yu said: "Didn't the government take care of it?" ”

Xiao Er said: "The government has also sent people to encircle and suppress it, but this group of people is very hidden, hiding in the mountains, and the government can't find it." ”

Li Yu said: "I see. ”

Xiao Er said: "But I heard that now the people of the government plan to invite the experts of the rivers and lakes who have come to swear to the Jiang League to come and jointly suppress the bandits, and by then, their good days should come to an end!" ”

Li Yu nodded, continued to eat the food on the table, and heard the sound of horses' hooves running. Looking at the sound, several people on fast horses stopped nearby, constantly waving their portraits around. White paper was everywhere, and those people shouted: "Find this person, reward a thousand taels of gold!" ”

Li Yu took a portrait they threw out, it was a "search order", Li Yu's eyes widened, it turned out to be himself!

"Li Yu, the second son of Yinlong Villa, was lost in the third year of Jingde, on the twenty-fifth day of June, found this person, escorted him to Luoyang Yinlong Villa, and rewarded a thousand taels of silver and gold." Li Yu was shocked when he saw this, hurriedly put on his hat, mounted his horse and ran towards the southeast of the town.

This little second saw Li Yu leaving in a hurry, and packed up the things on the table with a puzzled face. saw the "missing person order" on the table, only to know that the person just now was Li Yu on the missing person order. Xiao Er looked around, and saw that Li Yu was gone, so he immediately ran over and shouted to those people on the horse: "Uncle! I've seen this guy! ”

Immediately, the man said: "Oh? When? ”

Xiao Er said: "I provide clues, do you have a reward?" ”

When the people heard it immediately, they were quite interested and said, "Yes! As long as you provide clues, I will give you ten taels of silver! ”

Xiao Er said: "Just now, he was still drinking tea with us." When I saw you, he immediately ran away, but I heard him say that he was going to Longquan! ”.

These people on the horse were all the guards of Yinlong Villa, and when they heard this little second say that Li Yu was going to Longquan, they felt that this was true, and said, "Little second, how is that person's physical condition?" ”

Xiao Er said: "It looks good." ”

The leader of the horse threw a silver ingot of ten taels to this little er, and said to Xiao Er: "If you lie to me, see how I clean you up when I come back!" ”

Xiao Er took the silver thrown with both hands, and said with a smile: "Don't dare, don't dare!" By the way, I just told him that recently, there were bandits in Sholin Town, and asked him to take a detour. ”

The person on the horse said to the person behind him: "You quickly go back and inform the owner, saying that the second young master is currently fine, and he should be planning to rush to Longquan." The rest of the people followed me and walked to Longquan! One rode home, and the rest of the group left the town and headed southeast.

On the way, one of the people in the group said, "Head! How do you give that little two, ten taels! ”

The leader replied: "I can't bear the child to trap the wolf!" As long as we find the second son first, it will be a thousand taels of gold! ”

Li Yu rode his horse and whipped, and quickly ran to the southeast, and after running for about half an hour, he saw a wooden road sign with Xiao Lin Town written on it, Li Yu hesitated for a moment, and then moved towards Xiao Lin Town. The guards of Yinlong Villa chased here, and they also saw the side of the road, and the leader thought for a moment and said, "That Xiao Er said that there are bandits in Xiaolin Town. In order to avoid trouble, the second son will definitely take a detour, let's go over there! So saying, the group ran for another way!

At noon, Han Ji and Su Erhua walked to Yinlong Villa and said to the guards of the villa: "Rumor of labor, Han Ji asks to see Master Li!" ”

The guard saw that this Han Ji came on foot, and he was not a gorgeously dressed person, and said, "The owner of the village has explained, and no one has been seen recently!" ”

Han Ji begged again: "Tired, you go and spread the word!" Your lord came back to me. ”

The guard was a little impatient, "You don't understand people, do you?" The owner said, no one is seen! ”

Seeing this, Su Erhua said, "Uncle." You're lying to me again! You also said on the way that after we came, they would entertain us like guests, but it turned out to be a closed door! ”

When Su Erhua said this, Han Ji couldn't hold back his face, and said: "Brother, I want to be friends with your owner, as long as you go and spread the word." ”

The guard said, "Who is your brother!" Everyone says they are friends with our owner! Do you know who our owner is? See you if you want! ”

Han Ji was a little angry and said, "If you are like this, then I will break through." ”

At this time, several other guards next to the gate heard this and surrounded them, and the man sneered: "Old man, with your bones, you are still ready to break in!" ”

Han Ji sneered, waved his hand, and sprinkled a white powder towards these guards. When the powder got wet, these people immediately felt extremely itchy, and they threw away the weapons in their hands one by one and kept scratching them. Han Ji took Su Erhua and swaggered into the Yinlong Villa, and the guard shouted loudly: "Someone! Someone forced their way into the villa! ”

A figure jumped out from a distance, stood in front of Han Ji, and said, "Who dares to break into my Yinlong Villa?" ”

After Han Ji saw that person, he hugged his fists and said, "Steward Li Ji, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

When Li Ji saw that it was Han Ji, his expression immediately became respectful, and he hugged his fists and saluted back: "Mr. Han!" How did you get here? ”

Han Ji said: "When you go out to travel, pass by here, come and see your owner!" But you guards don't seem to welcome me! ”

Li Ji reprimanded the guards who were rolling on the ground at the door: "Something that doesn't have long eyes! Divine Doctor Han Ji, Mr. Han, haven't you heard of it either! Then, he apologized to Han Ji and said, "Mr. Han, these guards are all young people, I have never heard of your name, Mr. Han, don't be surprised!" ”

A few people who were rolling on the ground, scratching blood marks on their necks, hurriedly said, "Mr. Han, it's our fault." Please also ask Mr. Han to give us medicine to relieve our symptoms. ”

Han Ji looked at the few people babbling on the ground and said, "Who made you dogs look down on people!" That's it, Erhua, you go and explain it to them! ”

Su Erhua took out a small white bottle, poured out some blue powder, clicked some powder with her little fingertips, walked briskly to the side of those people, and poked at the foreheads of those people, and those people immediately stopped itching, and immediately stood up, respectfully hugged Han Ji and said: "Mr. Han, it's me who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, don't be surprised!" ”

Han Ji didn't want to look at them, waved his hand, and said to Li Ji, "Steward Li, what's wrong with your owner lately?" ”

Li Ji sighed and said, "Alas, a few days ago, the second young master disappeared. The owner looked for him like crazy. ”

When Erhua heard this, she interjected and said, "Uncle, it's just... ”

Han Ji stretched out his palm, signaled Erhua not to speak, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Ji told Han Ji about the events of the previous day, Han Ji nodded thoughtfully, and said, "What about your master?" ”

Li Ji said: "In the back hall, in the room where Mrs. Ouyang once lived. ”

Han Ji nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go find him." He gave Su Erhua a look and asked Su Erhua to keep up with him. After all, Han Ji came to this Yinlong Villa, and roughly remembered the room where Ouyang Lan lived at the time, so he walked down the corridor to the back hall. At this time, a young woman about eighteen or nineteen years old was also walking towards Ouyang Lan's room. In the corridor of Ouyang Lan's door, Han Ji and Su Erhua happened to face the woman.

When the woman saw Han Ji, her eyes immediately lit up, and she walked quickly in front of Han Ji, bowed respectfully, and said, "Mr. Han, why are you here?" ”

Han Ji squinted at the woman, guessing who it was, but he didn't dare to recognize it.

The woman saw Han Ji's doubts and said, "Mr. Han, I'm Dulan!" Fang Dulan! ”

Han Ji smiled, "Sure enough, it's you!" I haven't seen her in the past few years, and she has grown into a slim girl! I can't even admit it. You're quite discerning, and you can recognize me at a glance. ”

Twilight said: "Thanks to Mr. Grace back then, Twilight will never forget it in this life." Who is this? Dulan looked at Su Erhua behind Han Ji.

Han Ji introduced: "This is the daughter of a friend of mine, named Su Erhua, who is fourteen years old this year. Count yourself as my apprentice! ”

Twilight Lan said hello, "Sister Erhua, hello." ”

Su Erhua looked at Dulan, her bumpy figure, and her fair-skinned melon seed face had a beautiful face, and she was a little jealous in her heart, but it was offset by an inexplicable affinity on her body, and then bowed her head and said, "Hello, Dulan, sister." ”

Twilight Lan smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Han, this sister seems to be a little shy!" ”

Han Ji pouted and smiled, "She's not usually like this!" ”
