Willing to change Qingfeng to fight the rivers and lakes

Fifty,

It was a sunny day for many days. Xiaoyu took Yang Jian to the east and west with great interest. After a few days in Jinan, Yang Jian proposed to go to Qufu. Xiaoyu was still a little bit unsatisfied, but he couldn't refute it. He immediately paid the bill and drove. Ready to go.

The weather was slightly hot, Yang Jian changed into a white single robe, the neckline and sleeves were delicately embroidered with delicate patterns with silver thread, a very ordinary piece of clothing suddenly showed a distinctive aura.

Xiaoyu watched Yang Jian stepping into the car in a daze, and couldn't help sighing: "Uncle has such an expression, even if he is a mortal body and is rare in the Three Realms. If he is caught by some weird thing, it will be difficult to deal with."

Yang Jian reached out and tapped her on the head, dissatisfied: "Don't talk nonsense, it's not good for us to be hit by you, a ghostly guy, it's really bad luck."

Xiaoyu hurriedly covered her small mouth, poohed, and said, "Crow's mouth!"

Yang Jian got into the car with a smile and said: "Okay, let's go, I'm afraid it will take half a day's journey."

Xiaoyu drove away, and as soon as he left the city gate, he saw the officials of the brigade meandering, Xiaoyu knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Uncle, shall we go with the brigade too?"

Yang Jian said slowly in the car: "Why don't you join in the fun? Let's not take the official route, but take a shortcut first."

Xiaoyu responded, raised her hand and slapped a whip, and said, "Ma'er, did you hear what uncle said?"

The white horse bowed its head and snorted, the driver trembled and turned onto another ramp. Although it was not an official road, it was spacious and flat, and the carriage did not feel any bumps when walking on it.

Yang Jian was silent for a long time, Xiaoyu wanted to say something but couldn't find a suitable topic, so she swayed slightly with the carriage in such silence.Xiaoyu looked up at the bright sun in the sky, and suddenly missed that hot-tempered "cousin". He was enthusiastic and lively, and he would not be so dull when he was around.

After passing Feicheng, Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce, Zhan Zhao, and a dozen or so relatives left the brigade, and carefully arranged for Wang Chao Mahan to carry the empty sedan chair for eight people patrolled by Kaifeng's prefect and eight officials to accompany the brigade. While walking, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce only changed into casual clothes and walked casually in two small green cloth sedan chairs.

Zhan Zhao originally didn't agree with Bao Zheng's subdued behavior, and he was afraid that he would have offended some bandits and bearded him so that he would not be able to protect his safety.But Bao Zheng smiled and said: "Who in the blue sky knows who I am? We are only the boss's buddies, and we don't go to those remote mountain roads. Who is not a good player, what can ordinary gangsters do to me?"

Zhan Zhao thinks about it too, he is too careful, he walks the bright road in broad daylight, and the folk customs in Shandong are quite simple, so he probably wouldn't have the audacity to take such a risk.However, it took a long time to make an agreement with several leading long-term followers before obeying the order.

Gongsun Ce stuck his head out of the sedan chair and asked, "Have you seen Mr. Yang Jianyang in the past few days?"

Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "I saw it once, and I didn't say anything else. I didn't bother to ask about the master's book, but the second brother said that he might also go to Qufu to play recently. I saw Mr. Dingbang again. Just to ask."

Gongsun Ce's private intention was also to test whether Yang Jian had mentioned the book to him. Ever since he told Zhan Zhao about Yang Jian, Zhan Zhao hadn't mentioned it again. He thought Yang Jian had come to meet Zhan Zhao secretly. , but did not hear about Zhan Zhao.He was so busy these days that he didn't even touch the ground, he actually forgot to ask, and Zhan Zhao stopped him when he opened his mouth, so he was too embarrassed to ask any more.He had no choice but to sigh: "When did Guard Zhan become so shrewd, and you'll know everything after I've only said half a sentence."

Zhan Zhao pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Mister, why did you forget? It's fine if you don't talk to Zhan Zhao these few days, and you always have to mention this question when you open your mouth. No matter how dull Zhan Zhao is, doesn't he know what Mr. Zhao is thinking? But I made my husband tease me."

Gongsun Ce couldn't help smiling, and said: "Isn't it all your fault for your second brother, who sent a message to provoke me so well that he seduced his stomach, but he didn't have anything to say, who can bear it."

The two chatted and laughed for a while before Zhan Zhao hurried a few steps to guard Bao Zheng's sedan chair and rode along with him.

Zhan Zhao turned his head slightly and saw that Bao Zheng's car curtain was lifted and was looking at him, so he bent over and asked, "What's the matter, my lord?"

Bao Zheng didn't have a good rest these days, his face became darker and darker, and his eyes were bloodshot. When Zhan Zhao came to ask, he smiled and said: "It's okay, these days I'm either reading the case file or busy with the retrial. I'm tired and dazzled. Hearing you joking with Mr. Gongsun, I can't help but want to see what you are all doing."

Zhan Zhao looked back at Gongsun Ce's sedan chair, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's just joking with Mr. Gongsun, and I didn't say anything serious, but I disturbed your lord—it would take a whole day to get to Qufu fast." You have been working so hard for a long time, and adults have been working hard for days, so it is better to take advantage of the time and take a rest at this moment."

Bao Zheng rubbed his face, and said: "That's fine, I'll take a break, call me earlier if there's anything to do."

Zhan Zhao responded and walked at the front of the sedan chair, and ordered the bearer to keep his hands steady so that Bao Zheng could rest a little more securely.

At noon, although it was only the beginning of spring, it was getting hot and hot, and the land of Qilu was catching up with the spring drought again. Bao Zheng and his party were not walking on the official road, and there was a lot of floating dirt on the road. When the horse's hoof stepped on it, a string of white smoke would be emitted. General dust.

Zhan Zhao reached out his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, turned around and saw that there was no sound in Bao Zheng's sedan chair, he lowered his head in thought and turned back to Gongsun Ce's sedan chair, knocked on the sedan chair a few times, Gongsun Ce lifted the He opened the car curtain and asked, "What's the matter with Guard Zhan?"

Zhan Zhao said: "We went out of the city early in the morning and walked for half a day. We should find a place to rest now, but I didn't see half an inn and restaurant on this road. I just saw that there was a village not far away. Why don't we all rest there, okay?"

Gongsun Ce stretched out his head to look, but he couldn't see anything. There were few people around, the grass on the ground had just turned green, and a few scattered trees had just sprouted. It was a bit dazzling in the big sun, so he closed his eyes slightly and said: " Okay, have you asked your lord?"

Zhan Zhao said: "My lord, the voice in the sedan chair was peaceful, as if he had fallen asleep. If I'm not good, I'm going to bother you, so I came here to discuss with my husband first."

Gongsun Ce said: "Okay, I'll just come up with an idea, even if we can bear it, the bearers still have to eat and rest to replenish their strength, the Zhan guards can figure it out."

Zhan Zhao responded, and rode away.

When I got to the front, I found out that the village looks like a village, but I don’t know how long it has been in decay. The yellow mud walls are collapsed and dilapidated. In the village, I can’t even hear a cock crowing or a dog barking. It wasn't all out, and the wind blew and rattled, showing a bit of desolation.

After walking for a while, he found that a Town God's Temple hadn't collapsed, and the open space around it was spacious and flat. Zhan Zhao got off his horse here, arranged for the bearers to tidy up, and went to ask Bao Zheng to get off the sedan chair.

After getting out of the sedan chair, Bao Zheng took a few steps with numb legs and said, "This place should be close to Ningyang County. There used to be a population here, but it's far away from the river and there is no water source. Farmers cultivate land." It was really hard work, and they all moved slowly. It was an empty village ten years ago. When I came to Shandong for disaster relief a few years ago, it was already ruined. It is a good place for us to rest here. It is spacious and does not disturb the people. .”

At that moment, Gongsun Ce also got off the sedan chair, but he didn't agree with Bao Zheng's words, instead he frowned and looked around, seeing that no one was there, he couldn't help saying: "It's very deserted here, I always feel terrified in my heart, let the bearer take the lead." Let's hurry up and rest, I don't think we should wait any longer, let's go on the road after the big day at noon."

Bao Zheng said: "No one can see anything, Mr. Gongsun is overthinking - but we are also in a hurry, so it's okay, I will listen to you."

All of a sudden, the staff rushed to collect firewood and cook stoves, busy getting rice to light the fire. After a while, the aroma of rice porridge wafted.
