Chapter 378 Caravan
Clear shade and clear summer, clear water.
The long carriages and horses occupied the official road, and the soldiers held long spears and protected them on both sides of the carriage.
This is a convoy that transports food and grass, with chariots and horses constantly heading north like a long snake.
There were two inconspicuous figures avoiding the distance, looking at the gradually moving team.
"Young Master, how should we get in?"
"The King of Qi is still behind, carrying military pay..." The young man, known as the young master, looked deeper and deeper when he thought of this. He almost forgot something and suddenly said, "Lianxia, we must hurry back as soon as possible."
"Where are you going?"
"The journey of King Qi is not going to be so easy."
The King of Qi was appointed commander of the reinforcements, but in fact he was escorting food and military pay.
The King of Qi once went to the northern expedition with the emperor and had great experience in war. For this northern expedition, the most suitable candidate for the main general was the King of Qi. Of course, many people in the court recommended the King of Qi.
Now that the matter of supporting the King of Qi is put on the head of the King of Qi, the emperor just wants to suppress the King of Qi's long-term restlessness.
After a hurry, I hurried to Neihuang, it was already evening.
"Young Master, are we going to enter the city? It's still time to enter the city."
Yan Hanyu looked at a caravan passing by and couldn't help but take a look.
"Young Master, nine out of ten teams in this team are masters, and they are all wary." Lian Xia carefully approached her and whispered.
"Yeah?"
It seemed that Lian Xia's words reminded her, and then looked at the mark left by the wheels.
The wheels on the ground were very deep, and they were obviously loaded with heavy goods.
It looks like a very ordinary caravan, but what exactly is it? Will it require so many experts to escort it?
Thinking of this, Yan Hanyu hurriedly followed the convoy.
"Uncle, uncle, please disturb me, where are you going?" The voice was crisp, the person who spoke, with an ordinary face, and a friendly smile appeared on his face.
"What are you doing? Let's go!" One of the big men came out and pushed her away without hesitation.
Yan Hanyu was suddenly fell to the ground.
"Young Master, are you okay?" Lian Xia hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and said angrily to the big man, "What's wrong with you? Our young master just asked you a question. If you don't want to answer, forget it, why do you push people!"
"Forget it, Lian Xia." She was not angry on her face, but her expression of disappointment was revealed. "It would be safer to find a caravan with her, but it seems that it would not work."
The rest of the men around the carriage reached out and touched the carriage. Seeing this, Lian Xia held Yan Hanyu's hand tightly.
"What's going on?" A middle-aged man in dark blue clothes came over from the front on a horse.
The big man looked over and his voice was deep, "They were causing trouble!"
"No, no." Yan Hanyu waved her hand and explained in a hurry, "Uncle, we are not making trouble."
"Two little brothers, it's getting dark, we are still in a hurry to go, so I can't stay with you for a long time."
The middle-aged man's attitude was obviously better.
"I'm so sorry uncle. We are also in a hurry to go. It's just because it's getting dark and we both want to find a companion to accompany us, so we disturb you. I'm sorry."
"Where are you going?"
"Go to Jinzhou. I think you are also in that direction, so you should go to Jinzhou, right?"
"We won't go to Jinzhou." said the middle-aged man, "But you can follow me by the way, just follow me on the way."
"Thank you so much." Yan Hanyu followed with joy.
What else did the big man say, but was stopped by the middle-aged man.
"Uncle, you are a good person, but the people in your family are so fierce!" Yan Hanyu followed and chatted with her.
The middle-aged man smiled, "Only he has a bad temper, don't be afraid of little brother, he is not a bad person either."
"I'm not afraid now." Yan Hanyu smiled friendly, "I haven't told the uncle what my name is. My surname is Guo, Guo Yan. I haven't asked the uncle's name for him, what's the uncle's surname?"
"My surname is Li."
"Uncle Li."
"Hey, you can shut up!"
A cold voice suddenly came from behind.
The middle-aged man named Li only glanced at the man and said nothing.
Yan Hanyu was shocked by the sound, and knew that no matter how much she said, she would be driven away, so she rode her horse and leaned against Lian Xia.
The caravan transported five carriages in total and escorted more than twenty people. These people were dressed as strongmen, and the walking people were fast, so they protected each side of the carriage. Two people were riding horses, one of which was a middle-aged man named Li.
Because the goods are heavy, the journey is not fast.
The dusk is vast and the sky is getting darker, leaving only the stars and the moon that are accompanying you all the way.
After walking for more than an hour, I was in a state of trouble and had to rest.
The caravans set up two simple tents casually, drinking water, and dry food, guarding next to the carriage.
"Young Master, do we really want to follow?" Lian Xia whispered with his head down, "These people and horses and cars are hiding weapons, which is very dangerous."
Yan Hanyu looked at the movements of those people carefully. She really cared about the things in the carriages and weapons, so it would definitely not be simple.
"Give me some water." Without answering Lian Xia's words, she just said.
Lian Xia handed over to the kettle and whispered, "I've let the young master suffer."
It was completely unexpected that a noble lady had such tolerance for Lian Xia.
"This is only one time in this life..." She murmured in a low voice, then raised a faint smile, and said softly, "I'm fine, I won't be unable to endure hardship."
"I don't know why Brother Guo is rushing to travel in such a hurry at night?" The middle-aged man named Li suddenly stood behind them.
Yan Hanyu said ashamed, "Uncle Li, I dare not hide it from my uncle. Because it is the family's family scandal, I am really embarrassed to say that something happened at home. I want to rush to Jinzhou to find people from my grandfather's family for help, but it is not stable along the way, so I find someone to join me."
"So that's how it is." The man surnamed Li nodded.
"Where are you, uncle? Why are you in a hurry to travel?"
"Oh, we have to deliver the goods before the delivery period. The time is tight, so we have to hurry up."
The man surnamed Li stopped talking, "You will get up early tomorrow morning and you will have to rest early!"
"Yeah, thank you uncle."
"We don't have any extra tents. If you want to rest, go in and rest. You will leave two places for you, and they will also have to watch.
"Guo Yan appreciates Uncle Li's kindness, so we can just go to bed here."
A white light in the east ushers in a new day.
After the morning smoke from the morning cooking, an army was about to set off, but heard a loud voice of a soldier coming into the tent, "Report!"
"What's the matter?" the lazy voice responded.
"Prince, someone took this and said he must meet the prince."
"If you don't see me, is this the kind of person who can see casually?" He said incredibly proud.
The soldier hesitated, "That person, that person said..."
"say what?"
"Say, the prince took his things and wanted to return them to him."
"I took his stuff? It's nonsense! Let him get out!"
"Prince!" The soldier was embarrassed.
"Get out too!"
"That person said spring flowers and autumn moon..."
The soldier said these words without any knotting words. He only dared to look up and take a quick look, strode forward, put down what he was in his hand, and did a series of words and actions at the same time. He did not dare to look at His Royal Highness Qi's face and quickly retreated.
