Twenty miles away from the capital, there is a small teahouse opened next to the official road; there is no teahouse within these dozens of miles, and this official road is the only way for southwest Kyushu to enter Beijing, and the owner of this teahouse is precisely interested in these two points, so he will think of opening a small teahouse in this remote place.

It just so happened that the royal family held happy events in the capital these days, and the state capitals of the Yuan Kingdom would send people to Beijing to watch the ceremony, so the business of the small teahouse was still booming these days.

Today's business in the small teahouse is also very good, it's noon, and there are still many people in the teahouse.

The owner of the teahouse went to the capital, leaving only one guy to watch the store, after all, it is only a small teahouse, there are not many things, and a guy can cope with it.

But at this time, the guy was stamping back and forth at the door of the teahouse, muttering again and again as he walked: "Why haven't you come yet...... Why haven't you come yet......"

Some people guessed that he was waiting for the boss who went to the capital, but he wasn't.

It all started this morning.

Early in the morning, the small teahouse had just opened, and the boss went out to the capital after a few words of advice.

As soon as the boss left with his front foot, a young man in a blue robe walked into the teahouse.

"Do you have a private room here?" the young man asked the young man.

"Yes, yes. The young man hurriedly replied, although this is only a small teahouse, but although the sparrows are small, there are still small private rooms for guests to rest.

So the man led the young man upstairs to a small private room.

The young man entered the room, looked around, nodded, took a small silver ingot from his sleeve and handed it to the man.

"This is the room money, and then give me a pot of the best tea, and you can keep the rest, and it will be treated as a reward for you." The young man said.

The man hurriedly thanked him, after all, the reward given by the young man was enough to cover his ten days' wages.

After the man brought in the tea that had been brewed, he exited the small private room, and the man had just pushed it out, and the voice of a young man sounded inside.

"Bring a pot of tea in an hour......

The guy didn't care, and slowly, there were more guests in the small teahouse, but the guy didn't forget the young man's words, and entertained other guests while counting the time.

It was almost an hour, and the man brought the second pot of tea.

This time, when the guy exited the small private room, he was stopped by the young man.

"Little Er, can you do me a small favor?" the young man said bluntly.

"Guest, please. "Maintaining excellent professional ethics and a strong sense of fortune, the man happily decided: this guest officer should be helped!

"It's not a big deal, you help me pay more attention to the convoy passing by the small teahouse, if there is a convoy escorted by a team of soldiers, you can go forward and ask if there is a son named Sima Youran in the convoy. If so, give him the letter, and if he wants to come to me, you will bring him directly. As he spoke, the young man took out a letter from his bosom and several silver ingots.

"If this is done well, the money is yours. The young man said.

The guy took the letter and hurriedly agreed, but it was just a letter to be handed over, which was a trivial matter.

Seeing that the man agreed so happily, the young man smiled slightly.

"Senior Brother Youran...... Don't keep me waiting. ”

So, as soon as the guy was not alive, he ran outside the door to observe the official road, and when he was tempted, he also paid attention to the door from time to time.

And just like that, the guy waited another hour.

In the blink of an eye, it was already noon, and the convoy escorted by the soldiers had not yet appeared...... The man was already a little anxious, and how he wished the convoy had come sooner, so that he could get those silver ingots sooner.

I'm afraid of long nights and dreams!

While waiting, the guy was fantasizing, "What if the convoy doesn't come, then I won't be able to get my money!"

At the thought of this, the young man was heartbroken, hoping that the convoy would arrive sooner.

Sure enough, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and a man riding a horse and wearing silver armor appeared on the camera of the official road.

"It should be here!" the man thought to himself.

Sure enough, as the silver-armored man approached, the convoy behind him was also revealed.

Two carriages, flanked on the left and right by soldiers in iron armor, and a few men with knives who were not wearing iron armor.

That's right, this is indeed Sima Youran and his party.

"Brother Youran, there is a small teahouse in front, should we go in and sit down. Chen Mingyu stuck his head out of the window and looked out, then retracted his head and said leisurely to Sima Ran.

"No need, the capital is already very close here, let's go directly to Beijing. Sima bowed leisurely.

At this point, the convoy came to an abrupt halt.

Sima leisurely opened the curtain and looked forward in confusion, only to see Xie Changfeng driving the horse to the carriage.

"Master Sima, the guy in the teahouse in front of you said your name, and said that someone asked him to hand over a letter to you. Xie Changfeng said as he took out the letter that the guy had just given him and handed it to Sima Youran.

Sima took the letter leisurely, closed the curtain, and opened the letter.

"Home" and "Country"

I saw these two big characters written on the letter.

Sima Youran frowned slightly after seeing these two words, turned his head to the other two people in the car and said, "You wait for me here, I'll come when I go." ”

Sima leisurely pinched the letter and jumped out of the carriage and saw the guy in front of the convoy.

"What about the person who gave you this letter?" Sima asked the man leisurely as he walked up to him.

"Back to Gongzi, that Gongzi is resting in my teahouse at this time. The man answered

"Can you take me to him?"

"Of course, Childe, please come with me. ”

At this time, Xie Changfeng jumped off the horse and came to Sima Youran's side, and whispered in Sima Youran's ear: "My lord, be careful of deception!"

Sima Ran shook his head leisurely and said, "It's okay." Commander Xie, you take them to the teahouse for a while. I'm going to meet this ...... Old friend. ”

Xie Changfeng nodded in response, and then, Sima Youran followed his men to the second floor of the teahouse.

"Objectively, that Sima Gongzi is here. The guy knocked on the door of the private room and said.

"Come in. As the voice of the young man in the small private room came, the man pushed open the door and entered with Sima Ran.

Sima stared at the young man leisurely and did not speak.

The young man smiled slightly, handed the silver ingot to the man, and commanded, "The silver is yours." Go out and don't let anyone disturb us. ”

The guy took the money and withdrew with a smile.

The small private room was suddenly much quieter, and Sima Youran and the young man looked at each other, neither of them spoke.

"Senior Brother Youran...... Long time no see. The young man broke the deadlock first and greeted Sima leisurely.

Hearing a title that he hadn't heard for many years, Sima leisurely sighed and spoke.

"Long time no see...... Lu Ziqing. ”
