Chapter 360: Chase All the Way

"So that's what happened. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Ling Ling thought to himself: That's okay, at least it won't be broken for now, let's see if I can rush to the front of them to intercept it."

"Do you know which direction they're going, how long have they been walking?" Ling Lingqi asked.

"I really don't know, but this journey is not under my control. I think I might have left overnight after I got it last night. ”

"Then you should know whether you are taking a dry road or a water road, right?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I think it's more likely to be by water, although it's much slower and safer. ”

Ling Lingqi saw that he couldn't ask anything anymore, snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left the "Emerald Red Courtyard".

Just after walking a few steps out, the little girl Lan'er stopped him.

"Brother Ling, I finally found you. Lan'er ran out of breath, and her little face was red.

"Oh, it's Lan'er, your young lady's matter has already been resolved, I have to do this immediately, you go back and tell your master, let him rest assured, people are fine, it's on me." Ling Lingqi turned around and prepared to leave.

"Brother Ling, I think you can take me with you to find Miss? Lan'er pulled Ling Lingqi's sleeve and begged.

"That's not good, it's inconvenient on the road, I have to do errands and I'm not playing. Ling Ling replied.

"Inconvenient? Then we haven't heard you say it's inconvenient all the way from Yingtianfu to Luoyang? Why is it inconvenient at that time and now. The little girl still held on and didn't let go.

Ling Lingqi thought about it, the little girl was also quite clever along the way, she was a big ghost, and she did everything she did when she was in the guest house. After thinking about it, he said: "Then it's okay to go, you still have to dress as a woman, or people still think I'm kidnapping a little girl, hehe." ”

"Okay, Brother Ling, you agreed, and I will be your scholar. Thank you, Brother Ling!" the little girl jumped happily.

Ling Lingqi smiled and said, "Then let's go, are you still stunned?"

"Brother Ling, I have to go back and get some clothes and luggage, and I have to say something to the master. ”

"Oh, yes, I forgot about it, let's go. ”

When I arrived at Hua's house, I saw that the two unlucky messengers were busy asking inside and out, this time it was real, but unfortunately it was useless. The old man also walked around the garden with him.

As soon as they saw Ling Lingqi, the two immediately knelt down: "The little one has seen Lord Ling." ”

Ling Lingqi waved his hand and said, "That's it, you can go back, I already have an eye on this matter, it's useless for you two to be here, it will only make it more chaotic here." Oh, go back and tell the prefect, and say that I won't go back to the prefect, and immediately rush to the south to do business, and tell him not to wait. ”

"Yes, the little one will go back, Lord Ling will go all the way. ”

The old man immediately pulled the head of the catcher over and asked quietly, "Is this young man really a god hunt from the capital?"

The head catcher turned his face and replied with a cold snort: "What head catcher? I almost let you give away half of my life today, and I haven't settled it with you yet...... Thinking about it wrong, it seems that this adult has a special impression of the Hua family, and immediately showed a smile and said softly: "Hehe, forget it, I don't know what this adult does, I only know that our prefect immediately knelt down and kowtowed when he saw him, as if he had seen his father......"

The old man shrank his head in fright when he heard this, and he didn't dare to say anything anymore.

The little girl Lan'er just packed up the package and came over, and said to Master Hua: "The little maid is asking the master for leave, and the little maid wants to go to the young lady with this Brother Ling......"

Ling Lingqi said, "Yes, your young lady's affairs are on me, don't worry." ”

Master Hua immediately thanked Ling Lingqi for his kindness, but in the end, he couldn't hold back and cautiously asked Ling Lingqi what was the relationship between Ling Lingqi and Miss Hua Rui? Ling Lingqi thought that he couldn't tell the truth, so he simply replied: "I want to marry your daughter, and your daughter also agreed......

The old man Hua was so happy that he tore off a few whiskers, and said in his heart: The fortune teller is really spiritual, see that this prefect has to be a guest when he sees this young man, then now he is at least a third- or fourth-grade Beijing official, isn't he a first-class high-ranking official in a few years? hahaha......

Ling Lingqi didn't want to be entangled with this snobbish old man Hua, and was about to leave without saying a few words, but the old man Hua was anxious, pulling Ling Lingqi's sleeve and begging softly: "It's getting late, it's better for you to stay for one night, and it's not too late to leave early tomorrow morning, how can you rush at night." ”

Ling Lingqi thought about it and thought that it was good, but she always felt that it was not very pleasant to live here, of course, if Miss Hua Rui was at home, it would be another matter. Then he tactfully told Master Hua: "In this way, Lan'er and I will go to the dock to have a look first, if there is a boat that departs at night, then leave immediately, if not, then go back here and stay for one night." ”

Old Man Hua couldn't keep it, and Ling Lingqi was running around to save his daughter, so he had to thank him again and again and say goodbye. Before leaving, he also greeted from time to time that he would definitely come next time.

After a while, I arrived at the pier, and when I inquired, sure enough, there was no ship that set sail at night. I didn't want to stay another night, so I went around a few times and saw a small fast boat that was being cleaned, and the weather-covered boat boss on it was washing the deck with his head down, and the deck was also neatly tied, so he stepped forward and asked: "This ship boss is invited, do you want to ask if this ship is carrying passengers to the south?"

The captain of the boat raised his head and politely replied: "Exactly, but because the boat is small, it will not go far, but only to the southeast to Huzhou." ”

"Can I leave tonight?"

"The ship will leave tomorrow at noon, and the guest officer will carry it, please come over tomorrow." The boat boss replied.

"Then how much is the fare for a ship like my master and servant?"

"It's not expensive, two taels of silver per person, and food. ”

Ling Lingqi snorted and asked, "Is this okay then?" My master and servant took your boat and set off for the south to Huzhou overnight, and I will give you thirty taels of silver, and dock all the way, if you receive another guest, the fare is also yours, do you think it is feasible?"

The captain of the ship was overjoyed: "There is such a good thing?

Ling Lingqi smiled and said, "Of course it's true. As he spoke, he took out a silver dollar from his bosom and stretched out his hand and stuffed it into the ship's boss.

"Okay, okay, please get on board and leave the boat immediately. The captain of the boat was so happy that he immediately ordered the boat to be sailed and cooked.

The ship was not very large, with five small cabins, and could only accommodate eleven or twelve guests in total, but it was much faster than ordinary ships, and the boss of the ship must have been very good at sailing by just looking at the various sails on the mast, and there were several more fancy styles than others.

There are a total of four people in the ship's family, the wife and daughter cook, the son is in charge of the deck, and the ship boss supports the rudder. After sailing a section of the river, all the sails had been pulled, and the boat, which was full of tailwind, was speeding on the waves like an arrow, and sure enough, it was a bow clipper.
