Chapter 275: Dangerous Omens

Spring rain is as precious as oil.

For farmers facing the loess and facing the sky, a spring rain that comes in time is enough to make them happy, but for those who are away from home, the spring rain brings trouble.

Li Ze and his group were suffering from poor traffic conditions and traveled only dozens of miles a day. As soon as the continuous spring rain arrived, the speed of progress suddenly dropped to only twenty or thirty miles a day.

The official road was bumpy and muddy. When the carriage walked on it, it was often stuck in the mud and unable to move. Fortunately, they and their group were waiting for enough labor, so they could only use manpower to push it out.

It doesn't matter if the carriage loads, but it's not enough for human beings. Especially for Mrs. Wang, who hasn't left for more than ten years, he suffered a lot. The bumpy carriage is enough to make a strong man unable to bear it, let alone Mrs. Wang's slender woman. Almost all of the female relatives such as Xia Zhu were like this, most of them looked yellow, as if they were seriously ill.

However, after suffering for a while, Liu Ruyan came out of the carriage regardless of her parents' stop and asked for a horse. She would rather ride on the horse than stay in the carriage and suffer.

At this time, there is no shock absorption equipment for the carriage at this time. Whenever there is a small hole, it will jump firmly. Even if the carriage is arranged comfortably, it cannot withstand the entire carriage jumping forward like this.

It is actually not very pleasant to ride on a horse. Although the spring rain is sometimes soft, the spring rain is soft and silent. The poet always writes it very romantic, but it doesn’t feel good when it falls on his body.

I won’t talk about the cold anymore. The key is that after he fell on him, he didn’t care at first. Once he felt the cold, his clothes would be soaked, and the cold began to penetrate deep into the bone marrow. If he was not careful, he would come to him.

Fortunately, Li Ze was foresighted and brought Yan Jiu with him. He was originally used to take care of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu, but he was afraid that they would feel uncomfortable on a long journey, but now it has become the support of the whole team. Whenever he reached the point of his stay, Yan Jiu was the busiest one.

On the way, Tu Hu and his group finally met with Li Ze. With these veterans who have been traveling around for many years, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The more than thirty cavalry of the Hu team made Li Ze and his group greatly enhanced the escort power of Li Ze and his group.

"Young Master, look at the sky. You can't cross the Yellow River today. You have to rest in Mengjin for one night." Tu Hu looked at the sky, then looked at the speed of the team's progress, and told Li Ze.

"That's all. Where is Mengjin? Is there a suitable inn?" Li Ze asked.

"Young Master, there is a market town in Mengjin Du and there is also an official post, which is specially used to receive officials who cannot cross the river for the time being. You are a key official today, so you naturally have to stay in the official post. Whether it is in terms of conditions or safety, it is much better than other ordinary inns." Tu Hu smiled.

"Then let's live in this official office." Li Ze said: "I'll take a good rest for a day or two before crossing the river. Once I cross the river, I'll reach Dongdu. We can't go into the east with a shame, right?"

Tu Hu smiled and said, "Young Master is the commander of Henghai Jie and the general of Qianniu Guard. Naturally, he must have the power of a general. I will make arrangements in advance and clear the official post."

"Go!"

Tuhu ran away with several riders and horses.

Gongsun Changming rode his horse to Li Ze. After a long journey, the old man who had traveled around the world was now also looked haggard.

"Mr. Gongsun, we can have a good rest tonight. If we don't leave tomorrow, we will stay in the official post for another day. Do you think the censors and censors in the court will be included in my book? Tu Hu said that he will clear all the people in the official post!" Li Ze said half-jokingly.

"Now you are the commander of the Yizhen Zhen, the General Qianniu Guard, and a good official of the court. Judging from your current position, even the emperor will give you three points of thin air. Not to mention that you live for one day or ten days, who dares to say what? Of course, it is not ruled out that you want to become famous and crazy and you will use it as a copy. Of course, the premise is that this person is not afraid of death, and the town is generally very domineering." Gongsun Changming smiled dryly: "Even if someone participates in you, these memorials will be thrown into the trash can by the subordinates of the Secretariat."

"After the Dongdu, even if you enter the core area of ​​the Tang Dynasty," Li Ze said with emotion.

"There are not many places that the court can effectively control. Even if it is Hedong, areas like Hezhong will vary from person to person. For example, Gao Pian was appointed as Jie Town in Hedong, and Chen Bang is called as Jie Town in Hezhong. These places can be regarded as loyal to the court. But once these two people are resigned, will the two places in Hedong and Hezhong still be loyal to the court? It's still a matter of two people!" Gongsun Changming sighed and shook his head: "The Dongdu is different, and the imperial court's control over this place is extremely effective. The current Dongdu Defense Envoy is the emperor's uncle, the Fuwang Li Xin, who is a smart and capable person. The 50,000 Shence Army stationed in Dongdu is commanded by him. This is a gate of Chang'an! You must not lose it."

"This King of Fu, I need to make friends with you." Li Ze nodded.

The two of them were talking all the way, and the entire convoy moved forward slowly. Anyway, they couldn't cross the river today, so everyone relaxed. Until Mengjindu Town finally appeared in their sight, the everyone's mood became even higher.

During the journey, they were quite prepared, but they could only ensure that they could eat hot rice and drink hot water. Things like taking a hot bath, let alone ordinary guards, even Li Ze did not have one. At night, they could stay in Guanyi, take a hot bath, drink a bowl of hot soup, and then lie on the bed instead of sleeping on the hard floor. That was the greatest enjoyment.

The sound of horse hooves came, and the tiger was slaughtered and the horse came.

"Are you ready?" Li Ze asked with a smile. Tuhu traveled around the world and was always familiar with these aspects.

Tu Hu's face was a little solemn, he glanced at the people around the convoy, and whispered: "Young Master, let me speak with you."

Li Ze was shocked. The two rode their horses to the side. Li Ze reached out and called Gongsun Changming over.

"What's wrong?"

"Young Master, what's wrong with Guanyi!" Tu Hu whispered.

"Not right?"

Tu Hu nodded: "A month ago, I visited this official post. At that time, the official in this official post was not the current one."

"It is normal for officials to be transferred. What is there to be curious about?" Li Ze was puzzled.

"Young Master, it's normal for officials to be transferred, but it's not normal for the postmen below to be replaced. I secretly observed, and the doorkeepers, the kitchen staff, and even the people in charge of livestock were changed." Tu Hu shook his head and said.

This is very abnormal.

Gongsun Changming narrowed his eyes: "Tuhu, how do you know that they have all changed?"

Tu Hu said: "We are running business outside, even if we have more eyes on the back of our heads, otherwise we won't know how to die if we die. A month ago, I started to survey the route for the young master in Beijing. I naturally looked more carefully along the way, especially those who wanted to contact the young master, and they were even more careful."

"So, there is something wrong with this official post, but who is going to plot against me? Mengjin is only a Yellow River from the east, only dozens of miles away. Could it be that King Fu wants to deal with me?"

"This is unlikely!" Gongsun Changming shook his head: "Young Master is now carrying the safety of the north. If something happens to King Fu's land, how can King Fu bear this responsibility?"

"No matter who is going to be unfavorable to the young master, this official post is incredible." Tu Hu said. "I have asked someone to go and find a boat to cross the river overnight."

Li Ze and Gongsun Changming looked at each other and shook their heads slowly.

"I'm afraid we have to move in this official post." Li Ze whispered.

"Why?" Tu Hu didn't want to know that there was a tiger in the mountain, but he was still walking towards Hu Mountain. If he was alone, he would not be afraid. But now Li Ze, the old lady and others are in the team, how could he dare to take this risk?

Gongsun Changming looked at Tu Hu and explained: "No matter who wants to attack the young master, this person must be an amazing person. Since even places like the post station can be replaced, do you think the opponent will not make arrangements in other places?"

Slaughtered the tiger.

"At least, the official post is in the market town, and the building is solid. Since we know there are problems inside, we can control these people first and then garrison them. If we set up camp in the wild, the danger will be even greater." Gongsun Changming said.

"Why not cross the river overnight?" Tu Hu said.

"Cross the river?" Li Ze smiled: "After more than 100 people, where can such a large boat cross us at one time? Even if there are, do we dare to sit? How many of us are proficient in water? If we can only pass by a group of people at one time, the other party only needs to make some arrangements on both sides of the straits, and we will disperse our own hands."

Tuhu was shocked, "Young Master, I don't think about it."

"We are still staying at Guanyi. You send someone to find a boat to cross the river, take my seal and find Fu King Li Xin. If this matter has nothing to do with him, he will definitely raise a large army to pick me up. If there is anything, we will probably resist it in Guanyi tonight. I want to see who it is, who has so much trouble to want my Li Ze's life."

"There are so many people who want your life." Gongsun Changming became relaxed at this moment. "Young Master, this matter cannot be hidden from the old lady and the others. You should first let the old lady wait for a letter, and then make it clear to the generals and prepare for the battle. Even though you know that the young master is carrying more than a hundred elite combat powers, you will still dare to make plans. At that time, the enemy will definitely have a lot of people."

"I'll send someone to cross the river right away." Tu Hu said.
