Chapter 248 Departure North

Zhao Yunlan handed over everything about the capital to Li Mingyi, and Li Dashan and the others were going back to Lijia Village. This time, Lin Youjin followed Li Dashan's team and Li Bao and Ding Fengying and his wife stayed in the capital for the time being to cooperate with Li Mingyi's various matters.

There are many dignitaries and nobles in the capital and they are just starting out, so Li Mingyi naturally has to keep an eye on more. At the same time, Zhao Yunlan also asked Li Mingyi to pay attention to the house in the capital and take it down when he encounters a suitable one. The lease period of the house on Huaiyuan Street is almost here. Although the house is a little smaller, the landlord is unwilling to sell it, so Zhao Yunlan's idea of ​​buying the house was dispelled for a moment.

Zhao Yunlan brought Chunxiang and Li Hua's guard team, but she still felt that there was not enough people, so she went to buy some servants, an old lady, two maids, and five strong men who knew how to punch and kick. These strong men were all from wealthy families. They used to be guards in big houses, but they were taken home by Zhao Yunlan as soon as they were sold out.

"Grandma Tang, if you don't understand, please ask Chunxiang. Xiaozhen Xiaoman, you two follow Chunxiang first."

"Yes, madam." After the three of them saluted, they followed Chunxiang to pack their luggage.

At this moment, Lin Youjin found it and was holding a roll of something like sheepskin in his hand.

Li Mingren asked, "What is Brother Lin holding?"

“It’s the roadmap.”

"Is it from the north?" Li Mingren's eyes lit up, and Zhao Yunlan's mouth also raised its corners.

Lin Youjin nodded with a smile: "Some forks are not particularly accurate, but they should be useful. I also marked some places where robbers may appear."

On the second day, when Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan were about to set off, they found that He Wen was missing. When they were about to send Li Hua to search, they saw He Wen coming over.

Moreover, Qingfeng County is about to reach the next stop, so you can arrive at the Xu hour if you are anxious to hurry up.

"Be careful to cut your hand." Li Mingren inserted the dagger back and continued, "Brother Zhou also said that he had borrowed a few secret guards to protect our safety."

"Brother, sister-in-law, be careful on the way. I'll send me a letter when I arrive." Li Mingyi said worriedly.

"Okay, everything is up to oneself."

Of course, I also gave Zhou's family an extra bag for men and women. Although Wen Zhiyu was Li Mingren's fellow villager, he had a closer relationship with Zhou Hanwen since he came to Beijing. After all, Zhou Hanwen had been back and forth several times in order to get more information for Li Mingren's selection of official positions these days.

Zhao Yunlan: "It's hard for me to do something in the capital. I'll keep an eye on down."

"I hope we can get along smoothly and arrive safely." Zhao Yunlan said in a daze, squinting her eyes.

After Li Dashan and Lin Youjin bid farewell to Li Mingren and his wife, they drove the carriage to take the lead.

Lin Youjin shook his head: "We won't say these polite words anymore, but I'm afraid you don't have enough staff."

Zhao Yunlan nodded, aroused curiosity, but she could not prove it, so she had to rely on the carriage to close her eyes and rest. The next time was another hard-earned day.

He Wen: "Yes, I didn't think about it last night, and I didn't remember it in a hurry in the morning."

The group entered the city and soon found an inn near the city gate. The accommodation conditions of the inn were pretty good, but the food was not very suitable for the appetite. Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan didn't care about it, so they went to bed to rest after eating, washed up and took a break.

Lee Mingren: "Okay, don't worry."

"Yunlan, Brother Hanwen gave me a gift yesterday." Li Mingren took out a small wooden box from his bag.

Li Mingren nodded, Zhao Yunlan said, "Well, you must report this kind of thing in the future. Even if we are asleep, you must say something to Chunxiang or Ye Sheng."

Now that the day is getting colder, it is getting darker earlier. Li Hua has raised a torch in front of the carriage just to arrive in Qizhou.

Li Mingyi nodded. Now the restaurant's vacant store selling down products had a plaque on it, and he just waited for the weather to get colder again and started selling. But before that, Zhao Yunlan asked Li Mingren to give each of the Wen family and the Zhou family a down quilt. This was not only a relationship of favors, but also the two families were asking them to advertise their lives.

The road was not too far away from the capital, so the road was quite flat and you could see some people from time to time. In the afternoon, the group arrived in Qingfeng County. Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren decided to have lunch here and continue their journey. Qingfeng County is the only place to go to the capital. Because this time, Li Mingren went north from Beijing, which was different from the route he came to when he came, so Li Mingren did not plan to stay in Qingfeng County.

The carriage drove out of the capital.

Li Mingren: "I don't know where, I should follow you nearby. He has had this secret guard since he was a child and has been protecting him. If nothing unexpected happens, we shouldn't see them."

Zhao Yunlan took it and opened it, "This dagger looks so beautiful." A sapphire was inlaid on the dagger, which made Li Mingren very suitable for Li Mingren. Zhao Yunlan pulled out the dagger and wanted to learn to feel the sharpness of the dagger on TV, but Li Mingren immediately stopped it.

Li Mingren lifted the curtain and looked at the twilight outside. He looked at the light in front from afar. He thought he was about to arrive.

In fact, there are not many people in those robber gangs, but they have fought with real swords and guns after all. Although the Li family's newly formed guards looked there, they had little practical experience.

Because the journey may not be so easy afterwards. After leaving Qizhou, it will take about two days to go north to reach the next stop, which means that one night in the middle I have to sleep in the wilderness again.

"Madam, Master, I went to buy some medicine. I checked some luggage last night and was worried that I didn't prepare enough medicine, so I went to the pharmacy again early in the morning."

Li Mingren: "That's great, thank you Brother Lin."

After the meal, the couple set off without delaying much. Zhao Yunlan knew that she was going to rush to the road immediately, but she did not dare to eat too much, so as not to be spit out by the carriage.

Three days later, two teams set off from the capital.

"Yunlan, you're about to enter the city."

Li Mingren: "Well, the county magistrate over there said that he would send someone to pick us up, so there should be no big problem."

Zhao Yunlan said curiously: "Dark Guard? Really? Where is it?" She thought to herself that the Zhou family is really not simple, and it turns out that there is an organization like Dark Guard.

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "Well, find a nearby inn to stay for one night."

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, be careful next time, but you should also punish those who should be punished this time. Let's punish you for the monthly routine this month."

He Wen did not complain, but said respectfully: "Yes, madam."

When he was away, Zhao Yunlan had always been accustomed to grasping everyone's dynamics. Perhaps when he was a teacher, Zhao Yunlan was used to calling out the name when he took the children to outdoor activities. If he wanted to act alone, he had to say it in advance.

Of course, Zhao Yunlan trained He Wen as a housekeeper, so she had to sting more details about He Wen. From He Wen, she had to start restraining him. In the future, He Wen could help restrain other servants in the family.
