Chapter 927: A letter from home, rushing to Kuizhou
Chapter 927: Letter from home, rush to Kuizhou
Shen Tang looked up and down, and then said kindly, "I see you are somewhat kind-hearted, have we met before?"
Fan Yi nodded excitedly, "Sir, this villain is one of the refugees who followed you outside Shanyin. If it weren't for you, I would have starved to death.
In the past two years, the villain has been following Master Lu Feng, and was introduced to Dark Night Pavilion by Master Lu Feng a year ago and came to the land of Kuizhou."
Shen Tang was not surprised by this. This group of people was his earliest team. Some were under the command of Teng Wu and Cheng Yuhu, and some were in Dark Night Pavilion.
After all, these people followed Shen Tang when he was still in his infancy, and are far more trustworthy than some people who joined later.
"Two secret letters have been sent, and I sent them to you, my lord!"
Then he handed the two secret letters sealed with fire paint to Shen Tang!
"Well, you have worked hard all the way! Just rest here for the night and return to Kuizhou early tomorrow morning!"
"Thank you, sir!"
After Fan Yi left, Shen Tang opened the first letter, which was sent by Lu Feng.
The follow-up matters in Mianzhou have been settled and all the people have been resettled, so Lu Feng and his party continued to move forward to Xingyuan Mansion.
Shen Tang was mainly concerned about the current situation of the Mianzhou affairs and the arrangements he planned to make in Xingyuan Mansion. Shen Tang was naturally relieved about these arrangements made by Lu Feng.
So, I just browsed it briefly and put it aside.
When I opened another secret letter, four or five folded pieces of paper fell out.
Opening one of them, Shen Tang's face showed a light smile and warmth!
"Sir, I have already made arrangements for the grain and rice matters with shopkeepers in various places, and also passed the news to my second brother. It won't be long before a large amount of grain and rice will be delivered, so you don't need to worry... I am running around outside. , don’t take care, Mu Yu is waiting for her husband to return.”
These letters were sent by several ladies at home.
Most of Liu Xiangling's letters were about trivial matters at home, Shao Muyu informed Shen Tang more about the situation of grain and rice collection, and Wanyan Yue's letters were about letters from home. However, what each letter has in common is that There is a feeling of longing for Shen Tang between the lines.
In addition to the three girls, several girls also worked together to write a letter.
Lian'er's handwriting is a bit dull, but every word and sentence is as sweet as honey. Although Zhu'er and Yun'er's handwriting is not as good as Liu Xiangling's three daughters, it is much more delicate than Lian'er's. There is no need to look at the names. , the one who said "I miss my grandpa" must be Bold Zhu'er, and the other one "I hope my grandpa will come back soon" must be Yun'er.
After carefully reading each letter, the melancholy and pressure in Shen Tang's heart disappeared! This is his biggest concern in this life, and also the sweetest happiness! With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for! The so-called fame and fortune, Status and money are nothing compared to them! Having these gentle and wonderful women by his side in this life is a blessing he has accumulated over many lifetimes.
After extinguishing the candle, Shen Tang fell asleep with a sweet smile on his face!
Early the next morning, after breakfast, the army set off again! However, just after walking for more than an hour, there was a cavalry rushing towards the opposite side.
"Sir, it's General Cheng who brought the people back!"
Not long after, after investigating the situation, Shen Qiu came back and said to Shen Tang.
Shen Tang frowned slightly. Did something unexpected happen to Yun Anjun?
Not long after, a somewhat embarrassed Cheng Yuhu came to Shen Tang! In order to inform Shen Tang of the news as soon as possible, they did not rest at all that night.
After hearing Cheng Yuhu's report, Shen Tang frowned and thought deeply, "It seems that Gu Chengyi got the news in advance and left!"
"east?
Where does Gu Chengyi want to go?"
Shen Tang thought to himself.
Suddenly, Shen Tang's face changed drastically, "Wu Hai, Wu Xiangyu, select a thousand elites for me immediately! Cheng Yuhu, select two thousand horses with good physical strength!"
Although they didn't know why, several people subconsciously followed the order.
In less than half an hour, two thousand horses and one thousand elites gathered in front of Shen Tang.
"Wu Hai, Cheng Yuhu! You lead our troops and horses and continue to return to the Yun'an Army station. If there is a change in the Yun'an Army, capture it directly for me! Wu Xiangyu, lead your troops to change direction and march towards Kuizhou to join me!"
After saying that, Shen Tang got on his horse and headed towards Kuizhou with a thousand elite troops.
Fortunately, Cheng Yuhu brought many horses. Although they had traveled all night, the physical exhaustion of some of the horses was not serious.
Otherwise, Shen Tang would not be able to leave even if he wanted to.
The reason why Shen Tang was so eager to go to Kuizhou was because he guessed Gu Chengyi's destination.
In the letter he received last night, Xiangling mentioned Zhao Ling's return to Lin'an.
Calculating the time and distance, he passed by Kuizhou in the past few days! If Gu Chengyi got this news, then he jumped over the wall when he knew he had no way to go, then it would be reasonable to head east to Kuizhou pass.
Otherwise, he should choose to go north to the Jin Kingdom's territory, or go all the way south to Luo's territory. The Wumeng Tribe's territory is more reasonable, because only these two places can allow him to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the Song Dynasty soldiers and horses...
On the mighty Minjiang River, a series of large ships are moving down the river from west to east!
On a large ship in the middle, a pretty woman stood on the deck!
"Princess, please go back to the cabin! It's windy on the deck, don't get cold!"
A maid said respectfully.
This team is none other than Zhao Ling who returned to Lin'an from Chengdu!
"Qingqiu, where are we?"
"Princess, now is the boundary of Kuizhou. In about twenty or thirty miles, we will pass by Kuizhou!"
Zhao Ling rolled his eyes when he heard this, "Qingqiu, pass on the order. I am tired. We will arrive at Kuizhou in a while. Let's stop the boat and go ashore! Let's rest for a while before continuing on our way."
"Princess, the time for our return is already a bit tight. Moreover, things will be complicated after we land ashore, and we are not familiar with this place! If something wrong comes to your door, I am afraid that your Majesty will punish you when you return.
If the princess needs to buy something, and I ask others to buy it, it would be better for us to be on the boat."
Although Zhao Ling has a naughty temper, he is also very kind to the people around him! After hearing Qingqiu's words, her eyes were filled with disappointment, but she nodded helplessly!
At this time, a small boat exploring the way in front came quickly towards the ship where Zhao Ling was! Not long after, the two ships were parallel. A guard on the ship got on the big ship, took two steps forward and saluted Zhao Ling and said, "Qizhen County Lord, I just found out that the Qutang Pass ahead was damaged due to heavy rains, and is now being repaired. It will take about two days to complete the repairs. Please decide what to do, Princess!"
