Li Yang and Song Qiu had dinner and took a leisurely walk back to Xiushan Lane.
Song Qiu went to take a lunch break, and Li Yang went to the guard house.
In the second half of the day, Song Qiu took a break and used charcoal to draw the decoration drawings of the shop.
In addition, I also drew special drawings of chairs so that I could take them to the carpenter's shop for polishing.
When Li Yang comes back in the evening, give him all the drawings and let him do this.
But before evening, one of Li Yang's soldiers came to the door with a message.
Song Qiu only stayed in Fucheng for two days before leaving for Yunshan County. Li Yang knew that, so he planned to take leave to accompany her.
But down there, all the soldiers of a thousand households were making trouble, and they were afraid of causing a mutiny, so the commander assigned Li Yang to take people there immediately to solve the problem. He didn't even have time to come back. The matter was urgent, so he could only write a letter to ask people.
Send it back and explain the situation to Song Qiu so that she won't worry.
Song Qiu read the letter and knew that Li Yang would not come back in the next few days, so he left the drawings with the housekeeper and asked him to hand them over to him when Li Yang came back.
Not leaving that day longer, let Huang Qi and others pack up and prepare to leave early the next morning.
The weather in early May was neither cold nor hot, the days were much longer than in winter, and the sky lit up earlier.
There were only two carriages left, so they crowded into them. Song Qiu's was a little smaller, Ye Fang and Da Zhuang drove the carriage, and Song Qiu, Aling and Lu Jing, sat together on New Year's Day, which was just right.
Lu Jing's carriage was a little bigger, Huang Qi and Zhu Zhu were driving it, and there were Yue'er and Mian Mian A Xiang sitting in the carriage.
After leaving Xiushan Lane, we went to the city gate to have breakfast, and then we lined up to leave the city gate and headed towards Yunshan County.
From Qingping Fucheng to Yunshan County, we have to pass through a small county town.
They left the city gate at this time and could reach the next town before noon. By evening, they could just spend the night in this small county town.
Not long after leaving the city gate, Aling, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, opened his eyes and said, "Someone is following us."
When Lu Jing heard this, she couldn't help but lift the curtain and look behind. In addition to their own carriage, there were also many people traveling out of the city. This was a highway, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going.
If you don't come out, who will follow whom?
Anyone can walk on a broad road, so how can you say that others will follow it?
But Lu Jing did not dare to question her master.
The master has been acting strangely for the past two days. He stopped training them in the morning, and he actually stopped attacking Brother Ye.
The world of adults is so complicated, and Lu Jing, who is only ten years old, said she couldn't understand it.
"Do you know how many people are following? Is there any malice?" Song Qiu asked immediately without doubting Aling's sensitivity.
As soon as they left Fucheng, there were people following them. It was obvious that someone had been staring at Xiushan Lane and feeling for their movements.
Don’t know who it is?
Aling shook his head, "You can't tell it yet. Let's take a look step by step. There is a ginkgo forest ahead. Let's take a rest there and we'll find out."
Most people would not stop to rest just after leaving the city. If these people were really following them, it would depend on whether they stopped or just passed by.
Soon, we arrived at the ginkgo forest that Aling was talking about.
Two carriages stopped by the side of the road. Just in time, Da Zhuang wanted to take a pee. After stopping the carriage, he ran into the woods.
The convoy behind them passed them one by one and continued to move forward. Seven or eight big men on horseback also stopped and leaned on the other side of the official road. They dismounted from their horses and said dirty words about peeing and so on. Look.
Going up is usually because people have three urgent needs and just stop.
These seven or eight big men were not easy to get along with at first glance. Song Qiu lowered the car curtain and turned to look at Aling.
"We are being targeted." Aling laughed. She didn't take these people seriously, so she said, "Let's see how long they want to follow and what they want to do."
When Da Zhuang came back from urinating, the carriage continued to drive forward.
Lu Jing lifted the curtain and looked back, her eyes widened, "Master, they have also set off! It seems they are really following us!"
You can see from this that the person who came here is not good.
There may be no suitable time to make a move on the road ahead. In short, when Song Qiu and the others stopped, the people behind them also stopped. They walked, and the people behind them also walked, but there was no other movement.
Until noon, we entered Luoshan County.
Song Qiu and his entourage found a nearby restaurant to eat, and then those few people also walked in and happened to sit next to them.
Eat and drink when you should, it seems like it is just the right way, such a coincidence.
After the meal, Song Qiu and his party paid the bill and left the restaurant. They were not in a hurry to leave. Luoshan County was not far from Bian Town. It didn’t matter if they stayed in Luoshan County for one night. They would leave the city early tomorrow morning and arrive there.
It's morning in Bian Town, so it's a good time.
So after leaving the restaurant, I simply went to find a nice-looking inn to stay at.
Song Qiu had the habit of squinting for two-quarters of an hour after lunch without a bed. Now that he had a bed and took a nap, it usually lasted half an hour.
When I woke up, I happened to hear the three Alings chattering in front of the round table outside.
She got up and went out, "What did you say?"
"Auntie, are you awake?" Lu Jing said: "Those people who followed us also stayed at this inn. Master just went to listen in the corner and heard that they seemed to be planning a good move at night, saying that they were going to attack us.
Everyone among them will be taken captive."
Song Qiu took a sip of the New Year's water and raised his eyebrows after hearing this.
These people are following each other so closely, like brown sugar, which is also annoying.
We have to get rid of them completely here, otherwise, it would be a mistake to follow them to Bian Town.
Song Qiu also had the idea of solving those people. At that moment, several people started discussing in whispers.
It's night, and it's more quiet.
There are no stars or moon in the sky, it is dark, without the light of the moon, everything on the earth is dark and you can't see your fingers.
There were not many guests staying at the Sifang Inn tonight, only a few. Late at night, thunderous snoring came from an unknown room, so loud that the whole inn could hear it clearly, accompanied by the sound of teeth grinding from time to time, which sounded like playing the erhu.
It's rhythmic and noisy.
Under the cover of the snoring, the sound of opening and closing the door did not sound pleasant to the ear.
In the darkness, there seemed to be a few black shadows moving along the corridor on the second floor.
Quietly, the door of a wing on the left hand side at the end of the corridor was gently pried open, and the black figures rushed in. After entering the door, they stayed close to the ground and crawled forward, fearing that they would hit something.
There was a startling noise.
The distance from the outer room to the inner room was not far, but it took a long time. Fortunately, the people on the bed inside were not awakened.
The first one stuck his head under the bed and took a look. In the darkness, he couldn't see anything clearly. He only knew that there was a bulge on the bed and the sound of shallow breathing. It must be someone.
As soon as this person raised his hand, the people following him straightened up and came up quickly in a few steps. One person held a handkerchief that was almost soaked in sweat medicine, and he reached out to cover the mouth and nose of the person on the bed. The other person behind him held a handkerchief that was almost soaked in sweat medicine.
The sack is open and ready to be put in at any time.
