Chapter 43 Jinyang City
"Dad~"
The horse's hoof is full of dust. Liu Yanzhao rode a horse and walked quickly on the slightly wide mud road, and the city of Fuzhou was far behind.
After a day of galloping, it was finally not far from Baode. The sun had not set yet, but Liu Yanzhao did not have to wait until sunset and crossed the city wall to enter.
Baode and Fugu County in Fuzhou are across the river. Although the two sides are hostile cities, how can there be no way to enter Baode City after hundreds of years of development?
Turning the horse's head, he continued to go east. When he arrived at the place mentioned by Zhe Yuxun, he found the man dressed as a fisherman. With their help, he crossed three rivers before he landed in a relatively remote place in Baode.
After saying thank you, Liu Yanzhao pulled out his legs and went on the road. Just now, the boat asked for the direction. There is still some distance from the main city of Baode, and there is no human smoke for miles. Even if there is money, I'm afraid you can't buy horses to walk.
Looking at the winding country path in front of him, Liu Yanzhao only felt that his scalp was a little numb. If he had known that he had climbed over the city wall, but he remembered that he was almost hit by an arrow last time and was shot into a hedgehog, and his heart was also cool.
That's all. It's enough to enjoy the pastoral night scene. At least it's much safer. To comfort himself, Liu Yanzhao strode forward.
At the slight light of day, I finally saw the outline of Baode City. Liu Yanzhao jumped down from a dilapidated ox cart, "Zhang Bo, thank you for being old!"
On the ox cart, an old man with a white beard waved his hand with a smile, "Old Zhang is just on the way, and thank you for your idea!"
He said goodbye and watched Liu Yanzhao leave. The old man turned his head and looked at the green vegetables in the truck behind him. He bought two catties and got one catty for free. This was the idea of the little brother on the road. The price was still the same as before. Can it really be sold out?
The cold winter is coming soon, and the family is counting on the fruits planted in exchange for money to spend the winter, hoping to be blessed by this little brother.
He sighed. Mr. Zhang pulled the rope and wanted to continue to move forward, but the six- or seven-year-old grandson pulled the corners of his clothes, "Aweng, this is for you."
Turning his head, he saw an ingot of silver. The old man was so scared that he immediately reached out and held it. He looked left and right, and found that no one looked at it. Then he hurriedly stuffed it into the arms of patched linen, "Imchangsheng, where did this come from?"
"The big brother gave it to me secretly just now, and asked me to give it to Ah Weng when he left."
With this money, there is really no need to worry about this winter. Mr. Zhang couldn't help but have a gentle smile in his mind, and he kept saying, "God opened his eyes and let old man Zhang meet a Bodhisattva..."
Liu Yanzhao, who passed the guard of the East Gate, did not know what happened behind him. He helped Mr. Zhang just to repay his kindness. It was also a prudent thing to get off the car in advance outside the city. The old man is a local. He often enters and exits the city and is easy to attract attention with strangers.
It was still early, and Baode City was not yet lively, but the inn and restaurant began to be busy. Liu Yanzhao did not stay, but directly took the horse deposited a few days ago and rushed to Xianzhou City.
There is not much obstacle for Baode City to go east. During the war, the inflow of population is better than the outflow, and the guards of the rider dare not ask more questions for fear of offending the anger of the big man.
He continued to hide his tracks all the way. At sunset the next day, Liu Yanzhao could faintly see the towering wall of Xianzhou City. Thinking that Qilang and others were still in the middle of the city, he couldn't help but speed up a few times.
After passing the gate and thinking about how to find Qilang's inn, a figure leaned against Liu Yanzhao and looked around, but it was one of the poisonous scorpions, Cui Ping.
came at the right time. The latter was also full of joy when he saw Liu Yanzhao. I'm afraid that he has been ordered to wait for his news here for the past few days.
"How are you guys when I'm away?"
Holding the reins in Liu Yanzhao's hand, Cui Ping took the road in front of him. "Intor Hui, nothing happened. The captain and other brothers are waiting in the Lefu Inn. Today, they are also lucky to wait for the instructor."
He laughed and arrived at the Carrefour Inn. The horses were given to the inn clerk. Cui Ping led Liu Yanzhao to the second floor, tapped a few times, and answered the inquiry in the room.
In a moment, the footsteps sounded, and Qilang opened the wooden door and came out, "Brother Six, you are finally back."
"Ye-huh."
Entering into the room, there were several people such as Yushan. They killed half of the chess game on the table and waved their hands to them who were saluteing. Liu Yanzhao couldn't help laughing and sitting down. "I thought you would wait in a hurry, but I didn't expect it to be so unhappy."
Hearing this, Qilang couldn't help scratching his head. "Brother Liu told me not to go out and leak the news. My brother and your brothers are naturally flustered, and the time can pass faster in the last few rounds."
Qirang said a word, and the mountain naturally smiled and came forward to echo. This appearance made Liu Yanzhao laugh and scold a few more words. Later, he asked about the business, "When I'm away, are there people who don't know the way to approach?"
"At that time, I didn't have it, but when I learned that the sixth brother was sick, the governor of Xianzhou City sent someone. Fortunately, he was witty, otherwise he would wear a gang. As for the rest, he was not aware of it."
He nodded with satisfaction, "Well, seventh brother, you did a good job, Yushan, go find a carriage, have a good rest tonight, set out tomorrow, and go to Jinyang City."
"The carriage?"
Liu Yanzhao's two sudden words Qilang was a little confused, "Sixth brother, everyone has horses, why do you still want a carriage?"
Leaning against the back of the chair and stretching out, Liu Yanzhao looked helplessly at the slow-moving brother, "Isn't there a patient here?"
On the wide pipeline, several people rode a carriage and walked slowly. It was Liu Yanzhao and others. The carriage was driven by the mountain, and the two horses pulling the carriage were the mounts of him and Liu Yanzhao.
During this war, ordinary people didn't have horses. After being busy for a long time, Liu Yanzhao finally decided to use a horse to pull the car, which also saved the waste of two horses.
"Yanshan, talk to my sixth brother, and you will arrive in Jinyang City in half an hour!"
Qilang, who was walking in the front, turned his head and said, and the mountain, who was driving the car, turned around and repeated it to the carriage. Not long after, a familiar voice came, "Let everyone slow down and enter the city at sunset."
The order came and looked at the high sun above his head. Qilang and others were very puzzled, but they didn't ask much. They all pulled the reins to slow down.
In the carriage, Liu Yanzhao closed his eyes and sat down and was about to go to Jinyang City. Although he didn't care about the small court of the Northern Han Dynasty, he was still a little nervous.
Slow down the journey. One is the uneasiness in my heart, and the other is to do a good job on the surface and rushing the road with illness. At least it will give the Northern Han Dynasty a loyal scene.
Because no matter how much Liu Jiyuan does, he is also the king of a country and holds the power of life and death. There is a plan for this trip, but the misfortune and fortune are still unpredictable.
As long as there are people, there will be fights. This sentence that I have read suddenly came to my mind, making Liu Yanzhao show a wry smile.
Jinyang City is also a place of right and wrong. Therefore, Liu Yanzhao has no choice but to get out of it. Only in this way can he have the opportunity to find out the key points of entanglement of interests and take advantage of the situation to control the current situation.
After a long time, the carriage stopped and Liu Yanzhao, who was closing his eyes, took a deep breath. At the same time, Qilang's voice came, "Sixth brother, we are outside the city."
"Yewell, get off and go to the city. Let's find an ordinary inn and stay for the time being."
Jinyang is the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty. There must have been many more people in the past than other state cities, but dozens of rides can still attract the attention of others.
Outside the imperial city, some people also think about the Prime Minister's Mansion on Chunxi Road, which is awe of ordinary people. In the flower hall, a man in gorgeous clothes played with the jade wrench in his hand. "Are you sure that it is the second son of Liu Jiye?"
"Go back to the big prince, what the little man saw with his own eyes must be fake. Dozens of them are still carrying a carriage."
A soldier in the armor of the Northern Han Dynasty buckled his body and said. The man in gorgeous clothes waved his hand to let him go down, picked up the jade wrench and gently blew it. "Sure enough, the sixth son of the Liu family is really sick. Isn't he scared? In this case, it's better to let me take some trouble and give you a ride!"
The corners of his mouth cracked, a bloodthirsty smile appeared, and the murder was full of narrow eyes.
