Chapter 20 Hurry up
The sound of laughter pierced through the eardrums, and Han Yu felt dizzy and fell to the ground uncontrollably. The soldiers outside were even more unbearable, falling to the ground and convulsing, foaming at the mouth with poor physical strength.
When Han Yu couldn't hold on anymore, two cold snorts came from the sky. After a few breaths, I felt a lightness on my body and my body returned to normal.
Standing up and thinking about how to do it, Ouyang Cheng ran out of the military tent with his pants up, only to see that the night sky in the distance was pitch black, and the strange voice disappeared without a trace.
This Ouyang Cheng seemed to think of something, and explained a sentence to send the woman away, called a few good hands and hurriedly left, his face was gloomy, and he could unscrew the water, it seems that something terrible happened.
In the next few days, the major cities around the mine battlefield seemed to have reached some agreement to stop fighting, and each closed its camp gates.
After another three days, Han Yu was taking a group of auxiliaries to count the soldiers' armor and grain and grass, Ouyang Cheng rushed over, and handed Han Yu a secret letter with a pale face: "Hurry up and send this letter to the City Lord's Mansion and give it to my grandfather! Remember, the sooner the better!"
"Childe, is there something important? And looking at the sky, I'm afraid it's going to be a rainstorm..."Han Yu hurriedly ran over and asked with some confusion.
"This matter cannot be delayed, something big has happened over there. Han Yu, this matter is also to give you a chance to show your face on my grandfather's side, so this matter must be done for me beautifully, hurry up!" Ouyang Cheng urged a little impatiently.
Han Yu didn't dare to slack off, agreed, and immediately held Ouyang City's token, mobilized two cavalry, and galloped all the way in the direction of Jian'an City.
This sycophant can have a vision, no matter how well you usually serve, if you drop the chain once at a critical moment, it will be in vain.
Looking at Ouyang Cheng's impatient appearance, he must be in a hurry at this time. He is willing to hand over this kind of thing to Han Yu, it must be that Han Yu usually serves well, he is clever, smart and capable, if he does this well, the reward will naturally be indispensable.
Isn't it just the fastest way to send a letter? Although Han Yu has never done this, it doesn't mean that he won't do it. The two cavalry, a total of more than 20 people, asked a team of cavalry to go to the passing town first, find the mayor, show the military order, and order him to prepare the fast horse early.
The mayor of the town is also under the jurisdiction of Jian'an City, and with the military order, he naturally does not dare to slack off, prepare the horses, prepare food, and wait for Han Yu to arrive, change horses and take food and run all the way.
In this way, the five-day journey was shortened by nearly half, and by the third day, the city walls of Jian'an City had been seen in the distance.
"Hurry up!"
"Hurry up!"
The horses galloped all the way, and the cavalry following behind shouted loudly, and the people in the city were frightened to give way one after another, and the cavalry passed all the way like a whirlwind.
The gatekeeper of the city gate saw the cavalry in the distance, quickly moved out the stake, stood in the distance and shouted: "Do you have any proof of the men and horses in front?"
Han Yu took out Ouyang Cheng's personal waist card, and the soldiers guarding the city gate hurriedly got out of the way and rode all the way to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Urgent letter from the front!" came to the gate of the city lord's mansion, stopped the horse, took out the envelope from his bosom and said.
The man glanced at the letter skin and hurriedly let him go, led by a guard, and went to the main room, and saw an old man who was the city lord Ouyang who he saw at the wedding banquet.
Ouyang City Lord glanced at the envelope, carefully checked to make sure that it had not been opened, and then motioned for Han Yu to leave first.
At this moment, Han Yuru, who was a little weak-hearted, was amnesty, saluted and left quickly. I saw the Taoist priest sitting on the chair slowly unwrapping the envelope.
"Wanfa Gate has also been mixed in?" The old man glanced at it and quickly sat up, and the tea splashed on the ground.
The city lord on the side was also shocked when he heard this, got up from his chair, and the two of them read the content of the letter together, and their faces were a little solemn.
"It's a problem. Lao Dao sighed, and then whispered something.
Ouyang City Lord's face turned pale, he smashed a blue and white porcelain, sat on the chair and said firmly: "I don't agree!"
"Don't agree?" Lao Dao changed his face, looked at Ouyang City Lord with a smile, and then said, "I have already discussed the matter, and if you don't agree, you have to agree!"
Lao Dao saw that his face was cloudy, and persuaded him: "This matter is good for all of us." As for the young and strong population, it can be replenished with just one jiazi, how precious the lives of mortals can be. Our Qingyang Sect only got thirty percent, if you can help me grab forty percent, I will apply to the sect for a longevity pill. ”
"Is this true?" asked the City Lord Ouyang's eyes as he became fiery and eagerly asked.
"Seriously!"
"Okay, I'll arrange it!" Ouyang City Lord received an affirmative answer from Lao Dao, and left the door quickly.
"How can the benefits of Yicheng be so easy to take?" Old Dao Neng Ouyang City Lord walked away, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of sarcasm.
Lao Dao drank a few sips of tea and left elegantly. For him, mortal life is just a consumable, no different from a pig, a dog, a cow or a sheep. Seeing the urgency of the old city lord, Lao Dao sneered in his heart, a longevity pill that can extend the life span of five years can make mortals so crazy, he may get a foundation building pill if he does this well, once he enters the foundation building period, it can have two hundred years of life!
Han Yu, who was waiting outside the door, saw the old city lord leaving in a hurry, thinking that he could get some benefits by showing his face, but it seemed that he was in vain.
I saw that the old city lord ordered a few words to the armor soldiers at the door, and then summoned a few henchmen. Han Yu saw that two of them had gone to the thatched house, Han Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and he walked around them first.
Hiding in the woods behind the hut, pricking up his ears to listen to the movement. After a while, there were footsteps, followed by the sound of "booming" water, and one henchman complained: "If the city lord insists on doing this, then he will lose the support of the people." ”
"You're not the city lord, why are you so idle?" the other retorted, and then reminded in a deep voice, "Hurry up and inform your nephew and let them take refuge in the mountains first." I think our city lord is in a hurry, don't involve them too. ”
"Brother Qian is reasonable!" the man who started to speak first said gratefully.
Another person's voice was lowered: "Hurry up and prepare, and leave overnight tonight at the latest." By the way, remember to bring my outer room and young son with you, and take good care of them. ”
"Don't worry!"
The two of them left quickly, and Han Yu came out of the bamboo forest after a while, pretending to enter the thatched house. The cavalry had already been placed by the City Lord's Mansion, and Han Yu said goodbye and left.
The content of the overheard was vague, and it was certain that it was dangerous to stay in Jian'an City. Han Yu thought for a moment and went to the Siping Gang, after all, he owed a favor to someone that time, and it was none of his business whether he listened or not.
Dai Yi, who found the Siping Gang, informed him of this, and Han Yu went to Wang's house. Now that he is also an official, although the Wang family has some power, it is impossible for Han Yu to continue to be the guard, and it is too late to tie up.
When the door went to inform the palace, the middle door, which was not often opened on weekdays, opened, and the king went out to greet him in person. Don't look at the small nine products now, when the reward is down, it can't be said to be the upstart in the city.
The housekeepers, housekeepers, maids, and cooks of the palace all looked enviously at the people who were originally acquainted with each other and were greeting and laughing accompanied by the master, and with a little stammer, although these people envied Han Yu's good luck, they didn't want to think about how many guards were buried on the battlefield.
The family who had already had a spirit packed up Han Yu's things and respectfully handed them over to his own hands. The hall was full of people from the Wang family, and Han Yu felt a fresh and familiar breath from the little young master, but Han Yu would not do that forcible robbery.
"What about Qin Feng?" After drinking a cup of tea, Han Yu saw that there was no Qin Feng next to the little young master, and asked casually.
"It's still on the battlefield and hasn't returned yet. Master Wang smiled and said. At the beginning, Qin Feng also followed, although he had no martial arts, he was also arranged to do something in the army.
Knowing that Qin Feng did not return to Jian'an, Han Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, the longer this matter could be hidden, the better.
Refusing the Wang family's retention, Han Yu left the city and went straight to Xiaowangzhuang, not far from the city.
When I came to a small courtyard, I saw Zhang Minggui chopping firewood, his mother was making rice, and saw Han Yu Zhang Minggui hurriedly put down the axe and ran over.
"Big brother!" Zhang Minggui hugged Han Yu with surprise in his voice.
His old mother went to the back room to get the money bag and wanted to go out to buy some wine and food, but Han Yu stopped her and took out a silver ticket.
"Minggui, let's gossip. You take your brothers, buy some firewood, rice, oil and salt, and go to the mountains to hide for a while. Han Yu handed him the silver ticket, then patted his shoulder and said.
His mother was also taken aback and went back to the house without asking. Han Yu briefly explained what had happened, and Zhang Minggui was eager to go out when he heard it.
"Remember, if you want to follow you, don't force what you don't want. Han Yu's eyes were a little ruthless, "You can't say this to anyone!"
"I know, big brother!" Zhang Minggui knew the seriousness of the matter as soon as he thought about it, and said solemnly.
Han Yu explained a few more words, and rode a fast horse to the mine again. This time the time was not rushed, Han Yu ate and drank on the road, and it took six days to arrive.
In the evening, Han Yu returned to the camp, and Ouyang Cheng arrived as soon as possible. Han Yu hurriedly ordered someone to serve the wine and food.
"Childe, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life! Xiao didn't rest for a moment and spread the news to the City Lord's Mansion. Childe, what's the matter?"
"I'm not going to say it for a few days, you know. Ouyang Cheng raised his head and poured a glass of wine into his mouth, ate a few more mouthfuls of wine and food, and then continued: "The war has changed, and several more cities in the southwest have received the news and are also coming to join the war. I don't know how many people will die in this great war. ”
"Could it be that there are gold bumps in that mine?" Childe, you tell the little one about it, and let the little one also rise in knowledge!" Han Yu hurriedly poured a glass of wine for Ouyang Cheng and expressed his loyalty.
"Gold?" Ouyang Cheng glanced at Han Yu, and then laughed: "Even if it is a mountain of gold, is it worth so many people to snatch it?Let me tell you, the treasure in this mine is a hundred times more valuable than gold!"
"Gold is not qualified, the little one really doesn't know what is more valuable than gold, is it an immortal medicine?" Han Yu asked pretending to be puzzled.
Ouyang Cheng shook his head, and then said in a mysterious whisper: "It's a spirit stone, a spirit stone used by immortals!"
"Immortal, Childe, you will joke with the little one, by the way, could it be that the little one suddenly fell to the ground that night, and it was the immortal who did it?" Han Yu finally took the opportunity to ask his own question.
