Chapter 202 Big Foot Gathering
Chapter 202 Dazu Gathering
If according to Anqi's original statement, Tang Li should be in Guanzhong now, not Bajun.
Moreover, Liu Kan couldn't think of a reason for Tang Li to go to the Qin family to be a guest. The title? He has! Money and silk? This is not the reason. Although Tang Li was not as rich as Shen Shiqi or Liu Kan, he would not have lost money. Besides, Shen Shiqi is now in Ba County. If Tang Li really has no money, he only needs to go to Jiangyang, and more than a dozen taels of gold cakes will not be a problem.
But why did he stay in Jiangzhou as a disciple?
Liu Kan and Tang Li have known each other for several years, and during the first period, they were together almost every day.
Therefore, he believed that he would never admit his mistake. If it was Tang Li, then there must be something that forced him to stay in Jiangzhou.
That night, Qin Man held a banquet to entertain Liu Kan.
However, not many people attended the banquet, and they talked about several people, and most of them were Qin Man's confidants.
None of the other rooms in the Qin family appeared... Qin Man explained: This is just a small banquet. After Qin Qing comes back, he will definitely invite Liu Kan again. By that time, all rooms in the Qin family will attend. Today's banquet is just a banquet in Qin Man in his private name.
There are really enough rules for wealthy families!
"Miss Man, are your second uncle and the others not here?"
During the banquet, Liu Kan asked intentionally or unintentionally.
Qin Man smiled, "Oh, Uncle Meng is now in Langzhong, and Uncle Ji is mostly in Chengdu, mainly dealing with the Di people. If there is no special thing, or in the name of his grandmother, they rarely come back. As for Uncle Er, he is not in Tianzhuang now. In the middle of the year, the indigenous Ba people in Daba Mountain were a little uneasy. Uncle Er is familiar with it, so he went to check it out in the name of his grandmother.
If you calculate the day, it's almost time to come back.
During this period, I have never heard of Dabashan’s incident. I guess it must have been solved.”
"I see!"
Liu Kan pretended to realize suddenly, nodded, and did not continue to ask.
After all, this is all internal affairs of the Qin family. Now he is an outsider, so he can't ask too much. This meal was very easy to eat. It rained a day and stopped after nightfall. The dark clouds dissipated, and a few light clouds like veil floated in the night, making the bright moonlight even more hazy. The flashes of stars indicate that tomorrow will be a sunny and good weather.
"Miss Man..."
"kindness?"
The moonlight shines like a wash, making Qin Man's delicate face look white.
Perhaps because of the relationship between drinking two glasses of wine, the whiteness reveals a touch of bright redness, which makes it look even more delicate and charming.
Liu Kan hesitated for a moment and asked softly: "I heard from Bawen today that there seems to be a difference in your guest?"
"the difference?"
Qin Man was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "You are talking about diners under the Second Uncle... In fact, most of the diners in my family are under the Second Uncle. My grandmother is relatively light-hearted and is not enthusiastic about raising scholars. She just couldn't stand the persuasion of her uncle, so she opened the door to raising scholars.
Most of these diners are managed by Uncle Er.
My grandmother rarely interferes in this matter, unless it is the people from the Bashu Wu Alliance, and they usually pay attention to it. Over time, it becomes what she is today. However, in the past two years, my grandmother seems to want to rectify her diners, and the number of people has decreased a lot compared to two years ago."
Do you really want to rectify?
Liu Kan frowned slightly and couldn't help but feel suspicious.
It can be seen that Qin Qing seemed to want to train Qin Man as his heir. However, there were so many diners in his family, but he followed Qin Man's second uncle Qin Zhi. When Qin Man takes power in the future, these diners... it seems that Qin Qing also realized that something was wrong.
This is to clear the obstacles for Qin Man!
Liu Kan thought in his heart. But these words could never be said. From Qin Man's tone, he seemed to respect Qin Zhi very much. If he said it at this time, he would only be treated as a villain for nothing. Besides, even if Qin Man listened to him, how should he speak about this matter?
Could it be that you tell Qin Man: Be careful of your second uncle!
I guess Qin Qing had already made plans, so he didn't need to worry about it anymore.
"Miss Man, since it will take some time for Mr. Qing to come back, I want to go to Jiangyang in the past two days. Brother Qi and others have a day left, and they are quite worried. Lao Guan's family is also in Jiangyang. When he comes, he asks me to visit him. After Mr. Qing comes back, I am afraid there is no time... It's better to go to Jiangyang first, handle the matter well, and come back to wait for Mr. Qing."
He raised his delicate eyebrows.
Qin Man thought for a while, "Okay! It's probably going to take some time for my grandmother to come back. You won't delay anything when you go to Jiangyang, but I can't go with you. I still need to take care of my family. It's not too late for me to go to Jiangyang to find you later when my second uncle comes back in a few days."
This wealthy family is indeed full of trivial matters.
Liu Kan could understand it, so he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll be waiting in Jiangyang!"
The banquet ended until the hour of Xu, and Qin Manxun was also a little drunk. Her close maid helped her back to the room.
Ba Wenze led Liu Kan and others back to his residence.
Kuai Che and others were all asleep.
But Liu Kan was lying on the couch, tossing and turning and unable to sleep. Sometimes it was Tang Li's shadow, and sometimes it was the current situation of the Qin family. Qin Man's second uncle... I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as Qin Man described. He is generous and straightforward?
If this is true, why did Qin Qing clean up his servants?
Maybe it was just a chance, but if Qin Qing saw something, he started to clean up Qin Zhi's disciples... Then there would be more tricks here. Of course, Liu Kan was not very worried. Even if Qin Zhi was very talented, Qin Zhi was afraid that as long as Qin Qing was there for one day, Qin Zhi would not be able to make any tricks. If even his son could not handle it, how could Qin Qing have such a big family business?
But why is Tang Li here?
Liu Kan is really curious!
But unless Tang Li takes the initiative to come to the door, Liu Kan cannot contact Tang Li.
Because he is now a guest of the Qin family, his goal is too obvious. If he takes the initiative to find Tang Li, wouldn’t it be troublesome if Tang Li’s affairs are ruined?
What Liu Kan is sure of is that Tang Li already knows that he is in the Qin family.
The reason why he asked Qin Man to go to Jiangyang at the banquet was that Liu Kan also hoped that Tang Li could contact him as soon as possible.
I originally thought it was an easy trip, but I didn't expect...
When Liu Kan thought of this, she couldn't help but sigh.
Twist!
It seems that someone is knocking on the window lattice.
Liu Kan suddenly woke up, turned over and sat up, and whispered: "Who!"
No one spoke outside the window, but someone broke the window paper and threw a piece of white silk in. Liu Kan hurried over and picked up the white silk.
Then I opened the window and saw a figure flashing at the corner door of the backyard, and then disappeared without a trace.
Although it was just a glance, it did not prevent Liu Kan from recognizing the identity of the man.
It should be Tang Li's personal old servant.
Liu Kan immediately lit a candle and took the white silk to come over, which read six official scripts, "Chen Shi Dazu Gai" on it. In just a moment, Liu Kan recognized that this was Tang Li's handwriting. For nothing else, under the entire Qin Dynasty, there must be no more than eight people who can write official scripts.
Cheng Miao and Liu Kan, there is no need to say this.
After studying for a while, Sima Xi and Qi Ji should be able to master it with Cheng Miao.
In addition, only Tang Li could write official script, and even Lu Ge, Chen Ping and others only knew, but could not write.
Now in the Qin family, except for Liu Kan and Kuai Che, it is only possible that Tang Li can be.
Dazuju is a place name.
Liu Kan put away the white silk, took out a map from the bookshelf, and soon found the location of Dazuju, which was twenty-five miles southwest of Jiangzhou City.
It seems that Tang Li has indeed known about him and is about to meet him tomorrow.
OK, since you have contacted me, you don’t have to worry about it anymore.
Liu Kan breathed a sigh of relief, blew out the candlelight, lay on the couch, and fell asleep quickly.
The next day, Liu Kan got up early. Qin Man got up earlier. The two of them had breakfast together, so Liu Kan offered to say goodbye.
However, he did not take everyone away.
He only brought Kuai Che and fifty Loufan cavalry, Lin Su and the remaining more than 200 cavalrymen, and stayed at the Qin family farm.
It is hard to say why. Firstly, Liu Kan did not go to war or visit Shen Shiqi and others, and there was no need to bring all the troops with him. Secondly, Liu Kan had a premonition that Qin Man could use these cavalry. As for how to use it? Why? Liu Kan couldn't explain it clearly.
In private, he explained to Lin Su.
Liu Kan said goodbye to Qin Man and took Kuai Che to leave the Qin family farm.
The weather in Ba County is really unpredictable. Last night, it felt clear that the sky was clear, but early in the morning, it started to drizzle again.
Liu Kan recognized the direction clearly, whipped the horse and walked quickly in the light rain.
It was about to come, and the group was blocked by a big river. The river water was turbulent and spiraled towards the direction of the river.
"According to the map, this place should be Dazu gathering!"
Liu Kan stopped the horse and looked around in confusion. Here, there was little population, but you could vaguely see the outline of the village in the distance.
If you want to go to Jiangyang, you can only cross the river.
There was no bridge on the river surface, and a small boat was floating on the river surface not far away.
The ship is not big, it can carry five horses and five people at a time.
Kuai Che whispered: "When I left, I asked Ba Wen. When I went to Jiangyang, I could only go through the Dazuju Ferry. The Duwei, it seems that we are going to take a boat."
"Call the boatman here!"
Liu Kan calculated that it would take more than a dozen trips for fifty people to cross the river, and it would take at least half a day.
No wonder Jiangzhou is not far from Jiangyang, but Ba Wen said it would take five or six days to go back and forth. Liu Kan thought of this and jumped off the horse.
At this time, the boatman also walked to Liu Kan.
"Customer, this water is called Dazu Water. It takes half an hour to go back and forth. If it is just a man, the old man can carry twenty people on the boat, and one guest can cost two dollars... But if it is a horse that crosses the river, a horse will cost six dollars. And this exchange needs to be counted as two trips."
This ship's man is a person with meticulous plans, and Liu Kan did not bargain with him.
"Then prepare quickly. Before dark, you need to cross the river."
Liu Kan said as she looked around, but her eyes swept across the corner. She didn't see Tang Li's shadow... Could it be that this guy was discovered?
"Callant, there are now two guests on the boat." The boatman said: "So, this first trip can only carry four people and four horses."
There are two people on the boat?
Liu Kan's heart moved, his eyes rolled, and he immediately said to Kuai Che: "Old Kuai, I will take people to cross the river first. You can arrange this for the last batch of crossing the river."
After saying that, he led the Red Rabbit Horse and boarded the ferry.
Chapter completed!
