Chapter 425 Wang Mandu (3)
The autumn rain is cold and mixed with hail like grains of rice, pouring down.
Two pack horses were hit by hail and fell to the ground to wail. The remaining horses, led by Dajin, got into the temporary shed to hide.
Dayu has become honest and no longer thinks about soaring in the sky.
It stood on Yang Shouwen's shoulder and his head was pressed against Yang Shouwen's face, as if it was a little scared.
Even the pride of nature, even the pride of Dayu, who is known as the divine bird, is no longer as powerful as before.
Yang Shouwen gently combed Dayu's feathers, stood by the pavilion, and looked at the night sky with a bright look.
Since that night, after accidentally breaking through the "foundation" skill of the Golden Toad Guidance Technique, he seems to have entered a brand new world. That mouthful of "big toad energy" made his spiritual world a little different and he is more sensitive to changes in the outside world.
For some reason, he was a little scared and seemed to feel a sense of danger in his spiritual world.
He turned his head to look at Gao Lishi who was sheltering from the rain in the pavilion, and then looked at Fei Fugui. He saw Fei Fugui shook his head at him, which meant: Gao Lishi had no strange performance, and he had not relaxed his vigilance.
"Silo, let everyone wake up."
"how?"
Yang Shouwen buried his fingers in Dayu's smooth feathers and whispered: "I don't know, I just feel something is wrong."
For such a reason, if someone else changes, he may not be able to manage his finances.
But Mingxiu agreed and waved his hand to signal Mingli to come over. After whispering in his ear, Mingli turned around and left.
"Morality."
"The villain is here."
"Tell me the order, let everyone be careful and not to be too relaxed."
"Here!"
Although Yang Daoyi is a man from the martial arts world, it does not mean that he does not know how to enforce orders. He has been wandering for many years and has been in danger of peace... Yang Daoyi and others actually want a stable life. This is also when Yang Sixu surrenders, they immediately expressed that they would follow him. If you have a backer behind him, life will be much easier, and they are very clear about this.
"Let the women and the elderly enter the pavilion. Let's guard outside.
In addition, put those carriages across and you can deal with them if something happens so as not to be caught off guard.”
Lu Chengzhi came forward to offer advice, and Yang Shouwen and Mingxiu agreed without hesitation.
From this point of view, it can be seen that Lu Chengzhi, who had been a county magistrate for three years, was more serious in some details than Yang Shouwen and Mingxiu. With his help, he could indeed make up for the gaps and save Yang Shouwen and others from a lot of trouble... Zhang Jiuling was also busy with Lu Chengzhi. After all, everyone was busy, so it was inappropriate for him to stand by and watch.
The rain and hail lasted for about ten minutes.
The hailstones stopped and the rain was slowly getting smaller.
Everything was normal and calm, nothing happened.
However, Yang Shouwen's sense of crisis became stronger and stronger.
"Xiao Gao, is there any other way to cross the river?"
Gao Lishi thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "From this way, it is about forty miles north to be sour jujubes. There is a ferry over there, which is very solid and should not be washed away by mountain torrents. But the road is muddy now, and it is not easy to move forward. I guess if we march in the rain, we will have to reach it at dawn... And in this way, we will take a long way and take about 200 miles more."
After hearing this, Yang Shouwen felt a little embarrassed.
Staying here may be dangerous, but if you force yourself to rush and take a detour, it may be even more dangerous.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and asked Gao Lishi to retreat.
Mingxiu walked up and said softly: "Qingzhi, is there something wrong with being uneasy?"
"I don't know, I just think it's inappropriate."
Mingxiu's originally lazy expression disappeared, but was replaced by a hint of solemnity.
He thought for a while and whispered: "This place is located on a key road, less than thirty miles from Junyi.
If an accident occurs, Junyi's official army can arrive within one hour. As long as we keep it, there will be no danger. If we force ourselves to travel, more changes may occur. I mean, just be here and hold on until dawn."
"Okay!"
Since Mingxiu said that, Yang Shouwen couldn't ask for anything else.
What he said makes sense, it is better to be calm than to move, and not to mention that he doesn't know what danger will occur now.
It was almost midnight when the rain stopped.
After the autumn rain, the temperature dropped a lot.
Many people were wet by the rain just now, but they were shaking by the cold wind.
"Alang, let everyone make a fire, otherwise they will not be able to withstand it."
Lu Chengzhi hurried over and suggested to Yang Shouwen and Mingxiu: "With the fire, everyone can relax. Otherwise, it would be dark and I wouldn't be able to see the situation clearly. Even if we are on duty, we will cause a lot of trouble..."
Yang Shouwen thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Soon, several bonfires were lit in front of the octagonal pavilion.
Mingxiu ordered everyone to pull the horses off, then cross the carriage, surrounding a semicircle with the octagonal pavilion as the center. There were three fires inside and two fires outside to illuminate. Yang Chou'er jumped over to the car, half squatted on the roof, and could look out at the wilderness outside the car. When the bonfire was lit, Yang Shouwen clearly felt that the tension that permeated the team seemed to have relieved a lot...
"Qingzhi, you are a good military advisor."
Mingxiu walked to Yang Shouwen, handed him a pot of wine, and said with a smile.
He stared at Lu Chengzhi's busy figure, and his eyes showed admiration.
Yang Shouwen smiled and said to himself: Of course it is not bad! This is a person who once presided over the overall situation in Changping and resisted the Khitan Tartars!
A thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
Yang Shouwen felt that Lu Chengzhi was obviously a little embarrassed when he was following him.
Now he is just a judge, and he has been a scattered rank of a conscript. When he returns to Luoyang, he may not even be able to maintain his position as a judge in the Sixing Temple. Lu Chengzhi is such a talent, and he is a little bit full of pearls following him. His father is now a Sima of Luozhou, and he is in the position of a delegation training envoy in Luozhou. This is equivalent to the military and public security outside Luoyang, all on his shoulders.
Yang Shouwen did not underestimate Yang Chenglie's ability, but felt that he had to be more trembling in his position and could not tolerate any deviation.
My father once took charge of the Zhechong Mansion, and there is no need to doubt his military capabilities.
He has been a county magistrate for more than ten years and has a very skilled public security... But this is Luozhou, who is responsible for the vigilance of the periphery of Shendu. The responsibility is of great importance and complex form. It is by no means comparable to that of the Zhechong Prefecture or Changping in Junzhou.
In this case, Yang Chenglie needs a helper and an aide who can give him advice.
But if this helper was not his own, Yang Chenglie would not trust him. Yang Shouwen would not be relieved... But if it was Lu Chengzhi...
Yang Shouwen vaguely remembered that when Lu Chengzhi was exposed, his father praised him very much after he fled from Changping.
The two are old partners. If Lu Chengzhi was asked to help his father, I believe his father would not refuse. They may be a little embarrassed, but they will definitely cooperate perfectly. Similarly, Lu Chengzhi's family is in Luoyang and can find errands in the yamen. I believe that it will be a good thing for his wife and daughter, and they will not be worried about him.
Well, this matter seems to be something to do.
When Yang Shouwen thought of this, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and a strange smile appeared.
"You smiled so badly, did you think of something good?"
"Silo, your mouth is really cheap."
He and Mingxiu had a few words, and then walked out of the pavilion.
"My people guard the first half of the night, yours guard the second half of the night, let's work harder today, don't rest any more."
Yang Shouwen jumped to the carriage as he spoke.
He stood on the roof of the car, looked into the distance, and then said to Mingxiu under the car.
Mingxiu did not sing the opposite tune with Yang Shouwen this time. Although this is his favorite thing, he can experience a different kind of happiness from the quarrel with Yang Shouwen. But now, it is best to follow Yang Shouwen's instructions.
Midnight is coming quietly.
Although the rain stopped, the wind blew.
Mingxiu brought this time without any female relatives, and she could still feel a little chill when she hid in the pavilion.
So, everyone surrounded them and squeezed to rest by the bonfire.
The originally messy octagonal mound has become much quieter.
Yang Shouwen changed into dry clothes and leaned against the carriage to rest. Mingxiu was a little sleepy, laying a wooden board next to the carriage, sitting on it and napping against the wheel. At this moment, footsteps came. Mingxiu opened her eyes and saw that Gao Lishi was coming, so she closed her eyes again, without stopping, and even more so she ignored him.
"Shengshiman!"
"Um?"
Gao Lishi hesitated for a moment and said softly: "I know that this incident is a bit strange, so it will inevitably make the Congman suspicious.
But this matter is absolutely true. It was the order of the servant to go to the Conqueror to find the Conqueror.
The young master said that the Zhengshilang will definitely come back, and only if the Zhengshilang comes back can he save him in this matter."
This sentence was a bit confusing, but Yang Shouwen had already heard what Gao Lishi meant.
He found that Fei Fugui was monitoring him, or that he felt Yang Shouwen's suspicion about him. From this point of view, Gao Lishi was definitely a clever guy. No wonder he was favored by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and he was indeed well-deserved.
Yang Shouwen said in a deep voice: "Xiao Gao, what did Xiao Guo anger the saint because of it?"
"this……"
Gao Lishi smiled bitterly and said softly: "I really don't know! I only heard the people from Shangyang Palace say that the young master went to Shangyang Palace to pay tribute to the saint that day, and somehow he had a dispute with the saint, and his words were very fierce.
Later, the saint drove the young master into the heavenly prison... When I visited him, he asked the servant to bring a fan to find the Zhengshilang, and said that this matter would not be resolved, otherwise it would not be resolved. In addition, the prince had gone to Di Guo Lao for this matter and wanted Di Guo Lao to plead for the young master, but for some reason, Di Guo Lao did not agree."
Yang Shouwen frowned with thick eyebrows, revealing a look of doubt.
Even Di Renjie dared not come forward to mediate? You know, Di Renjie has been helping the Li Tang royal family and Li Xian!
What is the use of a problem that Di Renjie cannot solve?
Yang Shouwen really couldn't figure out why Li Guo angered Wu Zetian, but in the end he involved himself...
He took a deep breath and was about to continue asking.
Suddenly, the big jade parked on the roof of the car let out a hawk's cry and spread its wings and soared into the sky.
"Dayu!"
Yang Shouwen was stunned and shouted quickly.
Chapter completed!
