Chapter 83 Out of Luoyang

When Wang Shan came out of the west gate of Luoyang, he raised his eyes and saw Zhou Ting sitting in front of the tea stall slowly tasting tea, he shook his head and walked towards Zhou Ting, and said with a smile: "You are very leisurely." After speaking, he picked up a tea bowl and poured a cup of tea, and took a big sip with a grunt.

Zhou Ting stood up, walked to the house in the back, and when he walked out, he took a bunch of contracts in his hand, stuffed them into the hands of the tea stall guys, and said with a smile: "In the future, this tea stall will be yours." ”

The guy was stunned, watching Wang Shan and Zhou Ting drift away, and then he reacted and thanked them in the direction they were going.

Wang Shan and Zhou Ting rode on horses and galloped towards Pishan Manor, Wang Shan looked at Zhou Ting and said, "You are very generous, as soon as you make a move, you will give a tea stall to others." ”

Zhou Ting said with a smile: "It wasn't mine, it was bought by your father-in-law, he asked me to do a favor, of course I am obligated to do this benefit." "Zhou Ting whipped it, and the horse quickly rushed out.

Wang Shan shook his head, and quickly chased after him.

When they arrived at the manor, it was already nearly dusk, Xiao Ruoshui and the princess, Zhao Cheng was already a little anxious, and the princess was walking around the room, seemingly helpless.

The news of Wang Shan and Zhou Ting's return reached their ears as soon as possible, and they hurriedly rushed out of the city to see Wang Shan and Zhou Ting, as if they were afraid that they were missing something.

Wang Shan looked tired, and when he saw everyone, a smile appeared on his face. He beckoned everyone and said, "Go inside and speak." The group went to the living room, opened the crowd, and closed the door.

Wang Shan spread out the map on a table and said to everyone, "We now have the help of King Fu. He can escape from Luoyang City, but he can't do anything about the period from Luoyang to Chang'an. Now there are two paths to take. One is to take the canal directly to Chang'an by water, and then take the silk trafficking road from Chang'an to Jinzhou. The other is by road. Go directly to Chang'an, then go to Jincheng. The two roads are three days faster by land and three days slower by water. The problem with the waterways is that we don't know how to deal with the water, and it is difficult to deal with any situation on the river. The problem with the land route is that it is too difficult to pass through the Hangu Pass of the Qinling Mountains, so we have to take a small road to cross the Qinling Mountains, and then take the official road. When he arrived in Chang'an, Zhou Ting would arrange for someone to arrive directly in Jinzhou. So Chang'an is the first place we want to go. After Chang'an, Zhou Ting will explain the route to everyone. Zhou Ting, you will tell you the route after going down to Chang'an. ”

Zhou Ting nodded: "The news I got is that King Duan may want to go to the Great Wall at the border pass, so my people have prepared two routes." One is to go directly to Jinzhou, and the princess will be sent to Duanwang's Mansion. The second is to go directly to the Duanwang military camp. It depends on what the princess means. If the princess wants to see Duanwang directly, we will go directly to the Great Wall along the Chi Road after arriving in Chang'an, and if the prince will go directly to Duanwang's mansion, we will go directly to Jinzhou along the road of silk trafficking. Zhou Ting said here and looked at the princess.

"I don't go to Jinzhou, I can't see my father when I get to Jinzhou, if I let my father know the truth, I still have to go back to the palace, and I won't go back to the palace if I die." The princess said with a look of horror on her face.

"Yes. It's better to send it directly to King Duan's tent, depending on King Duan's meaning, where the princess should be able to get the best protection. Xiao Ruoshui said.

Zhou Ting looked at Wang Shan and Zhao Cheng, and the two of them nodded in agreement with the princess.

Zhou Ting also nodded. Then he pointed to the map and said, "To get to the Great Wall, you have to pass through deserts and swamps and mountains. So a little tired, we went straight to the Great Wall from Chidao. After going to Qingzhou after arriving at the Great Wall, Duanwang should be there. Zhou Ting finished speaking. Nodding at Wang Shan.

Wang Shan took over the conversation, put away the map and said, "We have a clear route now. Tonight, Xiao Xiao went to the canal wharf to check the guards, Zhao Cheng took the princess to sleep first, and Xiao Zhou and I went to the official road to see the situation. Before we set off, we need to make every little preparation. We'll leave early tomorrow morning. ”

After Wang Shan finished speaking, he went out with Zhou Ting, and Xiao Ruoshui also walked to the back gate dock and left by boat. The princess glanced at Xiao Xiao and wanted to say something but didn't say anything. Zhao Cheng glanced at the princess and said, "Let's go, they have nothing to do." ”

When the princess heard this, she walked towards the bedroom, and looked back at the place where she turned the corner, Zhao Cheng sighed in her heart, but walked into her bedroom without saying anything.

The moonlight is like a flower, Wang Shan and Zhou Ting are walking along the official road on horseback, they are chatting while walking, as if they are tourists walking after dinner, the official road is still lively on both sides, many people are still busy, it is true that the canal is opened, the official road is opened, and there are a lot more people coming and going. There are a lot more businessmen coming and going. The banks of the canal and the official roads are full. There have also been a lot more people-to-people exchanges between the North and the South.

Wang Shan and Zhou Ting's eyes never looked at the officers and soldiers, and they had already checked the deployment of the officers and soldiers with their spare eyes. The two have a clear division of labor, and one observes one side. After leaving Luoyang for about ten miles, the deployment of the officers and soldiers was no longer visible, so they slowly rode back to the manor.

Xiao Ruoshui sat on the bow of the boat, sailing along the canal to the upper reaches of the river, and on the table at the bow of the boat was a pot of fine wine, Du Kang, the famous wine of Luoyang. A few small dishes, like a bohemian layman, chasing the waves. Luoyang has many famous people since ancient times, and there are many such people on the canal, so no one thinks it is strange. Walking near the dock, he saw that there were only two doors left in the door of the water village, and the passing ships were checking next to each other. He carefully observed the inspection situation, and after looking at it for a long time, he turned around, and shouted to the captain of the boat: "Turn around, go back to the manor." The boat went down the river, and it wasn't long before he returned to the manor by boat.

When he came back from the dock, Wang Shan and Zhou Ting were already waiting for him in the living room, seeing him and looking at him. Xiao Ruoshui shook his head at the two of them and said, "The waterway is not easy to walk, it is too strict, unless we take the pass of King Fu, there is no way." ”

Wang Shan looked at the two of them and nodded, "We can't expose the clues that King Fu gave us protection, otherwise we, who will be involved in King Fu, will take the land route, and if we can't do it, we will break in." Wang Shan definitely didn't want to take advantage of King Fu, and he didn't want to have anything to do with King Fu and involve King Fu.

"Let's go to bed first, and then set off early tomorrow morning and ride our horses down the official road. There are less defended ones. After Wang Shan finished speaking, he went back to rest, and Xiao Ruoshui and Zhou Ting also went back to rest. What tomorrow will be like, no one knows, but as long as they can be together, they are not afraid of anything. The more difficult it is to get to the bottom of the road, the more you have to hold on at this time. They thought so silently in their hearts. (To be continued......)
