"Brother," Fu Fu glanced at Erge, leaned into Jin Kuian's ear and whispered, "We've looked for all the inns in the city. Without them, there would never have been such people staying here."
Jin Kuian couldn't help looking at Erge, and asked with a sullen face, "Are you sure they're going to the Western Regions?"
Erge's heart sank, but his face remained calm, and he asked: "Since you have seen them in the desert inn, you should know that the road will definitely lead to Shazhou. Did you hear that, they have already arrived in Shazhou, Or have you left?"
"No," Jin Kui'an said with a gloomy expression, "They didn't go to Shazhou."
Erge was stunned for a moment and then said: "Impossible, they have to go to the Yumen Pass to go to the Western Regions, otherwise they have nowhere to go, and since they have been to the Desert Inn, they will definitely come to Shazhou, did something happen to them on the way?"
Jin Kui'an also hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There are quite a few of them, and this desert is not very big, so they won't get lost, there is no storm, and if something happens, there won't be any traces on the road."
He paused and then said: "In addition to going to Shazhou, that road can also turn to Suzhou."
"But why are they going to Suzhou?" Erge doubted: "If going to Suzhou, the other road is closer, right? There is no need to go to the Desert Inn."
"There is another possibility. They still want to come to Shazhou, but they turn back and take another road. The official road goes through Suzhou."
Ergo looked up at him, puzzled.
Jin Kuian did not explain, but said, "Didn't you say that they are cautious people?"
Ergo asked, "Did you threaten them at the Desert Inn?"
Jin Kui'an sneered, and did not answer. Instead, he lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying: "Leave three people behind, and the others will follow me from the official road to Suzhou. It's best to meet them on the road. From Suzhou to Shazhou now The area is unstable, and the government will not think too much about solving them on the road."
Jin Kuian quickly made up his mind, they were already several days behind them, and if they didn't hurry up, they might really lose them.
It was a carload of gold, silver and jewelry.
Ergo naturally went with them.
Before leaving, he said to Fufu who stayed behind: "If you encounter them coming back before we come back, don't do anything, try to find out about them, and if you can, join their team," Jin Kuian said with deep eyes. Said: "In short, we must get the gold and silver on them."
"yes!"
Jin Kuian quietly left Shazhou with his people and changed lanes to Suzhou, but what he thought was quiet was not quiet.
As soon as he left, Governor He of Shazhou immediately contacted General Meng at Yumen Pass, saying that the person who needed to be on guard turned back and ran away.
After sending someone to deliver the letter, Governor He felt something was wrong, "Who are those people, and why did they run back again?"
He frowned and asked, "Isn't he looking for someone?"
"My lord, do you want to send someone to Suzhou to talk about it?"
Governor He sighed, "Can our people reach Suzhou now?"
The master paused for a moment and didn't speak.
When Governor He remembered that the road was cut off now, he gritted his teeth a little bit, "I don't know who spread these messy rumors, you go, and then let people go out to refute the rumors, Your Majesty is at peace, Xiazhou is also safe, and the Central Plains is also safe, let everyone Be honest."
"yes."
He Cishi was running around early in the morning to refute the rumors, but Man Bao and the others just got up at this time.
She poked her head out of the car window, yawned, retracted her head and closed the car window, and then helped Zhou Liru comb each other's hair before jumping out of the car.
The two of them took a small wooden basin and went to Li Guanshi to get water to wash. Because there is little water in the desert, the water for washing is only enough for a wet handkerchief, and the excess is gone.
The disheveled heavy rain waited for the others to sit aside and watch, and turned their heads not quite understanding, what happened if they didn't wash their faces for a day, it was normal for them not to wash their faces for half a month in the desert.
Therefore, Heavy Rain took the lead in rejecting Li Guanshifen's water, saying that they only need to drink and don't need anything else.
Steward Li glanced at them approvingly, then turned around and went to share water for the young master and the others.
It's just right that they don't need it, the young master and Miss Man can use more.
The group of people was busy for half an hour, the sun rose a lot, the cold air disappeared, and everyone started to hurry when the temperature began to warm up.
Da Yu couldn't help asking Zhou Man and the others, "How many days are you going to travel to Shazhou?"
Man Bao said: "We've calculated it, and we can arrive in about twelve to eighteen days."
"The gap between you is long enough."
Man Bao said: "There is no way, no one knows what will be encountered on the road."
Da Yu: "Don't worry, we calculated before going out, we won't encounter sandstorms."
"I mean, I don't know if there will be any interesting people, interesting things, and interesting objects on the road. If there are, we may need to stay longer."
Heavy Rain: ... I feel that the mayor has miscalculated, and he should have agreed with them on a time, otherwise what would they do if they encountered an interesting place like their town on the road and would have to stay there for a day or two
This one hundred taels of silver is too difficult to earn, right
There are still twenty people to share, and that one person is... Heavy Yu calculated with his fingers, but found that he didn't calculate it, so he simply didn't count it. Anyway, there shouldn't be many, otherwise the housekeeper must envy them when they go out.
Since he wasn't envious, it was a loss for them this trip.
It's okay to lose a little, but how can you lose so much
So Da Yu urged Zhou Man and Bai Shan to speed up and arrive in Shazhou within ten days.
In fact, it is possible. If you march in a hurry, you can arrive in seven or eight days.
But Man Bao refused because there was an old man (Mr. Zhuang) and a young man (Zhou Liru) in the team.
Da Yu turned his head to look at Mr. Zhuang who was looking outside with the open window with great interest, and then at Zhou Liru who was running ahead on a horse, and was speechless for a while.
A group of people walked forward slowly, replenishing water when they encountered an oasis, and tried to find some good things to look at. Occasionally, they ran a long way to catch a gerbil, so the team had to move forward an hour and wait for them.
Heavy rain was worn out all the way, and finally saw the city gate of Shazhou after half a month, and he was about to cry.
finally reached!
finally reached! This is also the voice of Man Bao and the others.
Seeing the high city gate, everyone shouted excitedly, Man Bao even threw the veiled cap up, and caught it when it fell, she put on the veiled cap, lifted the scarf and Pointing in front of the finger, he said loudly with pride: "Chongya—let's go to the city!"
It caused people not far away to look back at them in shock, and someone had already rushed into the city in advance to warn.
Nie Canjun: ...
He had to change into his official uniform to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
When Bai Shan and the others saw it, they couldn't help laughing at Man Bao.
The people on the city gate saw it from a distance, twitched their lips and turned to ask their colleagues, "Is this like an enemy attack? Those young people looked like they came from some aristocratic or powerful family to practice. How can there be any banditry in them?"
See you tomorrow
