Chapter 663 Yunshankou Letter
When the mission arrived in Tongzhou, it was a rainy and rainy evening.
Chu Huan thought that Xu Congyang, the left censor of the Censorate, was still guarding Tongzhou. After arriving, he realized that Xu Congyang had returned to the capital a month ago. Originally, the food and supplies transported to the northwest through Tongzhou had turned around and transported them to the southeast.
The food and supplies supplied to the northwest were originally raised from Xishan Road and Anyi Road. These two roads have reached the extreme supply and cannot be continued to be connected in the future. The supplies left in Tongzhou have also turned to the southeast.
After Zhao Guangqing, the governor of Tongzhou, was killed in rebellion, the position of Tongzhou was still vacant today. Qiao Mingtang, the governor of Xishan Road, replaced Xu Congyang and temporarily stayed in Tongzhou.
Of course, Qiao Mingtang is not a waste of money to become a governor, and he is still quite capable.
When the war in the northwest began, Xigu Pass had not been blocked yet, and more than 100,000 people poured into Guanxi. When these people arrived in Tongzhou, they had been intercepted by officers and soldiers and were all settled in Tongzhou.
In order to avoid the northwest transportation line being blocked by refugees, refugees were moved to refugee areas specially designated by the government. The order in the refugee areas has always been very chaotic. After Qiao Mingtang arrived, he specially selected strong men from the refugees and formed a public security team. There was no need to use a regular army to avoid unfairness in the refugees. The public security team maintained public security and received salary, so he was naturally very happy.
Although there has been a shortage of food, Qiao Mingtang also tried his best to ensure that refugees could fill their stomachs.
When the mission arrived in Tongzhou City, Qiao Mingtang had to briefly introduce the situation in Tongzhou to Xue Huaian. Naturally, he did not expect that Chu Huan had a prosperous life in less than a year after entering Beijing. In his heart, Chu Huan came from Yunshan Mansion, as his own sect, and was also extremely friendly to Chu Huan. During the conversation, the governor of Xishan Road suddenly remembered something and said to Chu Huan anxiously: "Mr. Chu, I almost forgot a big thing. The first few days of the year the guards came to Tongzhou and brought a message that it was related to you."
"Oh?" Chu Huan was stunned.
Qiao Mingtang said: "The Wei General did not know that you were on the Xiliang mission. He sent someone to the capital and learned that you had already been on the mission. The Wei General knew that Tongzhou was the only way to enter Xigu Pass, so he sent someone to say hello to the official. If you rush back to the capital through Tongzhou, you must go back to Yunshan Prefecture."
When Chu Huan heard this, his heart sank.
Of course he understood that the Wei commander mentioned by Qiao Mingtang was Wei Tianqing. Wei Tianqing sent people to Beijing to find him, and even sent people to Tongzhou to pass messages to him. This only means that something big happened in his family.
After he entered Beijing, Wei Tianqing took the initiative to take responsibility for taking care of Chu Huan's family. If something hadn't happened at home, Wei Tianqing wouldn't have made such a big move.
When Chu Huan thought of this, he was anxious and asked, "Governor Qiao, is there... something happened to my family?"
Qiao Mingtang said: "Mr. Chu, don't be too anxious. The Wei General said that it seems that Lord Lingtang is in poor health, so...!"
Chu Huan's heart was even tighter and immediately looked at Xue Huaian. Xue Huaian had already frowned and said, "It's important to Lord Lingtang. Filial piety is the first priority. Lord Chu, if that's true, you can go back to Yunshan Mansion to take a look."
"Just a mission?"
"You don't have to worry about this. There will be no problem with me and General Xuanyuan." Xue Huaian said: "You can't delay returning to Beijing to report your life. Lord Chu, you should go back to take a look first. If Lord Lingtang is in good health, you must return to Beijing to report your life as soon as possible, otherwise... I will explain to the emperor that the emperor will understand your difficulties."
Qiao Mingtang also said: "Don't worry, Lord Chu, I will also give you a memorial to explain to the Lord Chu. The Lord has a kind and filial person, so he will definitely not blame him."
Chu Huan bowed respectfully to the two of them and said goodbye. He did not set off immediately. Instead, he called Sun Zikong and Lang Wazi, and went alone to the side and ordered: "Zikong, Wushuang, I want to go back to Yunshan Mansion. You follow the team to go back to Beijing directly. Zikong, Wushuang is not familiar with the capital, you are familiar with it. After returning to Beijing, you should take them back to the mansion first and settle properly."
Sun Zikong hurriedly asked, "Master, how do you arrange those two girls? They are also arranged in our mansion?"
Chu Huan thought for a while and sighed, "As well as arrange them in the mansion, and everything will be dealt with when I go back. After returning to Beijing, I will ask the doctor to take a good look at Bai Xiaozi's injuries. That monk, you can find a separate yard to settle down. Zikong, you feed him personally every day. He has no sense, and porridge and water can still be fed."
Sun Zikong nodded and said, "Don't worry, master, I understand."
"Wushuang, you follow Zikong back to Beijing, those brothers of Camel Guy will stay with you first. Remember, after returning to Beijing, stay in the mansion before I go back, don't go anywhere, and don't cause any trouble." Chu Huan said with a serious expression: "No matter who causes trouble, don't blame me for turning against me after I go back."
Sun Zikong nodded, Lang Wazi thought about it and made a gesture, which meant to go back to Yunshan Mansion with Chu Huan. Chu Huan saw it clearly and shook his head and said, "No, I will finish the matter soon. You can go back to Beijing with peace of mind." He took the silver note from his arms and gave Sun Zikong and Lang Wazi a few bills each, and gave it carefully to him. Then he found Xue Huaian again and said goodbye to him.
Xue Huaian comforted her and made Xuanyuan Sheng select ten skilled guard warriors from the guards, and went to Yunshan Mansion with Chu Huan to ensure Chu Huan's safety.
Chu Huan thought about it but did not refuse. However, the service of the Guards was too eye-catching. He and the ten Guards changed into casual clothes, worried about family affairs, and did not delay much, so he said goodbye.
The horses were whipping along the way, like a tiger and a dragon, without delay. Chu Huan was anxious. Wei Tianqing was eager to find him, but it was obvious that Chu Li's health must be very bad, otherwise Wei Tianqing would not have had such a big fight.
Chu Huan knew in his heart that Chu Li's physical condition has always been not very good. He only hoped that the old man could hold on and at least meet him.
Before he arrived at Yunshan Prefecture, a heavy rain broke out. Chu Huan was still whipping up and galloping in the rain. Ten guard warriors were able to endure hardships and follow closely behind.
This rain was indeed not bad. At dusk that day, Chu Huan finally arrived at Yunshan Prefecture City. After half a year of separation, Yunshan Prefecture City did not change at all and still stood tall.
Before the city gate was closed, Chu Huan and others rushed over. Seeing the more than ten riders in the rain, the soldiers immediately took their guns and shouted, "Stop the horse, what are you doing?"
A warrior of the Imperial Guard beside Chu Huan shouted sternly: "Do not go!" They are the most elite soldiers in the empire and the most noble soldiers in the empire. They never take ordinary local troops seriously.
The horse was flying. Seeing this, the soldiers were afraid of being stepped on by the horse, so they hurriedly dodged away. Chu Huan and his group walked in like lightning.
The soldiers guarding the gate were all surprised, and some people shouted, "Are you a bandit?" They waved, "Let's chase!"
One man said in a deep voice: "What a fool to chase? You didn't see that the one in front was wearing official boots. This is a casual dress for the official. If anyone is not afraid of death, just chase him!"
When he said this, everyone dared not speak.
The rain was much lighter, and the breeze and drizzle were all wet. After passing an inn, Chu Huan held his horse and told the soldiers not to follow him. He threw a piece of gold ingot for the guards around him, so that he would take his people to settle down in the inn.
The guards were sent to protect Chu Huan, but they dared not be negligent. They all wanted to escort Chu Huan to their home. Seeing that everyone insisted, Chu Huan couldn't refuse, so she continued to move forward. Fortunately, it was raining, and there were no pedestrians on the streets. When she walked through streets and alleys, she thought that she would see her family immediately, but Chu Huan was excited and prayed that everything must be safe in her home and that no misfortune would occur.
A familiar street appeared in front of him. Chu Huan slowed down his horse speed. The two cavalrymen behind him were in a row, followed closely. When he arrived at the door, Chu Huan turned over and got off the horse and walked forward. The door was closed tightly as always, so familiar. He hesitated for a moment, finally raised his hand and patted the door. At first no one agreed. Chu Huan then increased his strength and patted again. Not long after this time, the familiar voice that had been imprinted in his heart came from the house: "Who?"
Chu Huan whispered: "It's me!"
"Who are you?" Su Niang's voice came again, as if she had never expected Chu Huan to come back for a while: "It's rainy, there is no one at home!"
Chu Huan was amused and said loudly: "Sister Su Niang, it's me, I'm Erlang!"
Su Niang's scream immediately came from the room. Chu Huan could even clearly hear Su Niang's running. Soon, the door "creaked". The door opened a gap, and a familiar pretty face appeared in the gap. The pair of beautiful eyes were wide open. Seeing Chu Huan, he was stunned at first, then his face looked extremely surprised. He suddenly opened the door and stood in the door, staring at Chu Huan in a daze. Soon, he saw Su Niang's nose sore, his eyes were red, and he bit his red lips, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Chu Huan even wanted to hold Su Niang in her arms to express her longing, but naturally she would not do this rationally. When she saw Su Niang wearing a royal blue skirt, her upper body was a purple autumn outfit, her face was like lotus, her lips were as red as before, her skin was much whiter and red, her plump buttocks and waist were thin, and her beautiful figure was like a undulating wave. However, Chu Huan's familiar simplicity in the countryside did not disappear.
"Er... Erlang, you... are back..." Su Niang had already seen the group of cavalry outside the door, all of whom were tall and big, and very imposing. When she thought that Chu Huan was going to be a master in Beijing, she didn't know if these people were Master Chu's subordinates, she suddenly became a little nervous.
Chu Huan turned around and said, "Brothers, thank you for your hard work, go and rest first!"
A cavalryman said, "Sir, let's leave two people behind to wait for the call!"
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "No need, you can stay in the previous inn. If you need it, I will go to find you!"
The soldiers looked at each other, but did not dare to say anything. They bowed together: "Abide by the order!" They turned their horses' heads and galloped away in the neighing sound of the horses.
Su Niang leaned her head and looked at the street. Suddenly she felt a look at her. She turned to look at her, but saw Chu Huan's eyes looking at her. She felt a little fever on her face and asked, "Erlang, are those people... all your servants?"
Chu Huan laughed and said, "I can't call myself a servant, but now I do listen to my instructions."
Su Niang stuck out her tongue and couldn't help but say, "Erlang, you are so awesome." But she didn't know that the sweet tongue was so charming and charming.
