Arrived at Baijia Village, left the fourth prince Xiao Cheng and Zhang Chen and Yang Hao, and then sent Luo Sanhe and Zhang Xiaohai, a student in the intermediate class of the public school who he thought was a talent to Hejiatun, which was less than five miles away, and explained to another village head, Zhang Shou immediately set off for his journey.

When he went, the three carriages, full of people, plus a dozen guards, drove for an hour and a half in the weather of the cold winter wax moon, and when he returned, the three carriages were so empty that only Zhang Shou was left, so that he almost wanted to call Ah Liu and the other guards to take turns to rest and shelter from the cold and wind.

However, before he could say this, Ah Liu directly rushed ahead: "Young master, since you are not in a hurry on the way back, you might as well go slower, the twelve people are divided into two groups, six groups, take turns to rest in the two cars for a while, recuperate, and then rest in the Zhuangzi between Tongzhou and the capital as discussed with the young lady before." ”

Even if Zhu Tingfang was in charge of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, he had consulted the emperor before, and he had always kept a coupon hole in the Xuanwu Gate of the inner city to pass, so that the inner and outer cities could be contacted at any time, and if something happened, he could immediately suppress it, but it was impossible to open any gate in the outer city of the capital at night. Not to mention that Zhang Shou is a brother-in-law, even the prince of the third prince, he can't pass without a will.

Even to put it more seriously, even if the emperor sneaks out of the city to play in his own micro-clothes and misses the time when the city gate is closed, it is still honest to find a place to stay overnight, otherwise the movement of opening the city gate will be too loud, and the minister's face will be light......

Of course, as far as Zhang Shou knew, even with the absurdity of the emperor in the past, this kind of thing had never been done, so since he planned to go thirty-six times before Zhang Chen and the four princes reacted, he didn't plan to go into the city, walk for a while, and then live in one of Zhu Ying's dowry granges, which was a decision he made after discussing with Zhu Ying early.

Although Zhu Hong wanted to argue, at least he wanted to accompany Ah Liu, but Ah Liu choked him with a single sentence and couldn't refute: "I don't need to, in terms of night eyesight, you and them are not as good as me." In terms of durability, you and they are no match for me. ”

Zhu Hong has seen Ah Liu's night arrows, and Ah Liu's equestrian skills, he has also seen them. Even the eldest son, who is talented and taught by a famous teacher, can hardly say whether he is an opponent or not, let alone a more specialized swordsmanship.

Moreover, he had also heard that Ah Liu was picked up by his own Hua Qiye from the horse thieves on the grassland, maybe sleeping on the horse was a common thing, and he didn't have to compare with others, so he agreed after thinking about it at the moment.

Seeing that the wind was getting stronger and stronger that night, and the temperature seemed to be getting lower and lower, Ah Liu was cruising outside the car with a serious face, although Zhang Shou, who was in possession of a carriage, said that he wanted to tell people not to be too nervous, but Ah Liu seemed to know his mind, and saw that Zhu Hong was dividing people into classes, so he quietly rode his horse to Zhang Shou's carriage and left an extremely serious sentence.

"Young master, I promise the eldest lady that this trip must be safe."

Ah Liu's words were simple, and he even kept his old name for Zhu Ying in a hurry, but Zhang Shou finally dispelled the idea of letting people get into the car in the face of the young man's serious tone. He also knew that although this was the border of Gyeonggi, it was impossible for the law and order to be so peaceful and prosperous that the road would not be closed at night, let alone walk at night.

Even if his enemies should all be dead now, there is a way that is a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff.

The abolition queen and the eldest prince are definitely dead, and the second prince's shipwreck is uncertain. What's more, how can he be sure that his enemies are only the mother and son? For example, people like Confucius University are considered enemies, and Jiang Ge Lao, who was Zhishi before, are they considered enemies? As for those scholars and officials in Guozijian, as well as those who hide political disagreements and hostile people, it is even more uncertain.

Next, sitting in the spacious and somewhat deserted carriage, as the carriage moved forward and bumped, thinking about Zhang Chen and the four princes who were about to spend at least half a month in the countryside to support teaching, as well as Luo Sanhe, who had sent him to the door, thinking about how they would overcome all difficulties in the future, cross the river by feeling the stones, and then start the road of being a teacher for the first time in his life, he couldn't help but smile.

I think that when he taught those children in the village, he tossed and jumped, and in the end he really brought out Qi Liang and Deng Xiaodu, Baijia Village and Hejiatun are a little bigger than Rongshui Village, I don't know if these three people can gain something in a month.

Thinking about it, Zhang Shou, who had always been strong before, gradually became sleepy, and dozed off unconsciously.

In his sleep, he vaguely felt the sound of someone talking outside, as if there was some strange noise, but since Ah Liu was there, and with Zhang Yuan's several guards who were taught by Ah Liu, as well as Zhu Hong and others who followed Zhu Ying to marry, he was already a little confused, so he simply closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Anyway, even if the sky falls, if these people can't cope with it, plus him, it won't help the situation, maybe it will be unhelpful, it's better to continue sleeping...... However, he really fell asleep!

When Ah Liu, who opened the car door and then opened the cotton curtain inside, found that Zhang Shou was wrapped in a thick fur coat and slept soundly, he was about to tell him about some of the things that had just happened, but he had to swallow the words that came to his lips.

Although the preliminary question came out, these are a few little thieves who are known as hungry and crazy, and they plan to grab a vote and go to the grass to be a thief, it is not a long-planned design, and he and Zhu Hong and others can be regarded as very fast, however, he really didn't expect Zhang Shou to fall asleep - after all, the movement of shouting and fighting outside is actually quite obvious.

And Zhu Hong, who was behind him, also saw Zhang Shou's sleeping appearance, and after the initial stunned, he couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "It is said that the side of the couch is not allowed to snore...... If you want me to say, sixth brother, as long as our son is here, then you can fall asleep anytime and anywhere. Because he has nothing to worry about at all. ”

Ah Liu's positioning of Zhu Hong in the past was a rival, and when Zhu Hong was sure that he would marry Zhu Ying and serve Zhang Yuan, he changed the person's position to a colleague - and when Zhu Ying personally spoke, saying that he, the housekeeper, could take the person she married, and manage it together, he changed the mode of getting along with the other party to his boss and subordinates.

After all, in the heart of the teenager, the creature of friends still does not exist for the time being.

But at this moment, hearing Zhu Hong's words, Ah Liu suddenly felt that the opponent, colleague, and subordinate in front of him, who he thought had always been good, was really discerning. For a moment, he even looked at people with a much softer gaze, and then he hummed, lowered the curtain lightly, and closed the car door again.

After doing this and getting on the horse again, Ah Liu looked at the few path cutting thieves who were tied up in a string behind the horse, and then said lightly: "Let's go, speed up a little, hurry up to Zhuangzi, the young master has a good rest." ”

Where would Zhu Hong not understand, if the speed of this road is accelerated, then the guys who are tied to the back of the horse will definitely suffer a lot, because the human legs can't outrun the horse's legs, plus in such a dark night, the people will definitely become a string of rolling gourds, and finally fall to the ground and be dragged all the way.

However, it was impossible for him to intercede for these path cutters, after all, according to the law, these guys were no longer ordinary thieves, but would be classified as thieves! Robbery is no better than theft, and after the yamen sentenced, nine out of ten were hanged, even if it was not a quick decision, and in the end it was either hard labor for life, or exile for 3,000 miles.

And after the culprit of the robbery was caught on the spot by the bitter master, he was killed and injured on the way to dismissal...... This is considered normal attrition, and killing people when dealing with thieves is completely justified defense. Not to mention the government, even the official has no right to put his beak. After all, they also seized some shoddy bows and arrows and knives and other weapons, which were enough evidence for these guys to sit through the prison.

Having said that, when he really started to drive again, he found that although Ah Liu's speed was slightly faster than before, it was still only at the level of trotting on a horse, Zhu Hong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Ah Liu's face was cold and hot, and he would not careless about human life, even the lives of a few thieves.

He didn't know that Ah Liu was moving forward, while looking at the car Zhang Shou was in from time to time, and there was only one thing in his heart, that is, how to make this night road go fast and steady, and not to wake up Zhang Shou, who was sleeping in the carriage.

Because of this, the speed of driving on this road has always been pressed by Ah Liu at a relatively gentle, slightly slower speed than when he came.

Even so, the thieves who were tied to the back of the horses and dragged were still suffering, among them the weak people who could not run early and fell to the ground to let the horses get away, and there were also those who were barely strong and barely exerted their strength for a while, but they were dragged down for a while, and then they struggled to get up and catch up when they slowed down, for fear that they would be dragged to death all the way......

When they finally heard a voice in front of them saying that it had arrived, the struggling little thieves were of course relieved, and the guards who had been blown back and forth by the cold wind were also relieved. The original rotation on the return trip was also terminated due to the robbery, and now they are also cold from head to toe, and they only hope that Zhuangzi will get the news and be fully prepared for everything from hot water to bed.

However, when he saw two huge and bright Qi Death Wind Lamps hanging on the gate of Zhuangzi's courtyard, Zhu Hong knew that he didn't have to worry about it. Sure enough, the door seemed to hear the sound of their carriage and horses, and soon someone came out to inquire, and when he identified himself and took out the token waist card, there was a commotion inside.

In an instant, the door was opened, and a few men hurriedly came out, some of them stepped forward to lead the horses, some of them went around the back to untie the ropes tied to the horses, and tied up the little thieves one by one with their hands and feet, and none of them asked much about right and wrong.

In the face of such a group of well-trained family members, Ah Liu naturally no longer worried about how the horses and others would take care of them, and went straight to Zhang Shou's carriage. When he opened the car door and lifted the curtain as he did at the beginning, he saw that Zhang Shou was still sleeping soundly, and he didn't mean to wake up because of the movement outside.

Seeing this scene, he thought about it, then reached out to his mouth and sighed, rubbed it vigorously, and then quietly got into the car and reached out to probe Zhang Shou's forehead. Sure enough, although he had warmed his hands, Zhang Shou still woke up with a spirit.

"Well, home? Why is it so cold......"

Ah Liu sighed helplessly at Zhang Shou, who was obviously still a little angry about getting up, and then said in an aggravated tone: "Young master, this is the young lady's Zhuangzi, we have arrived." "You've been sleeping all the way, and you're too unvigilant.

Although Ah Liu didn't say the last sentence, but Zhang Shou has been with people for so many years, how could he not hear this extraneous sound, he was stunned and thought about it carefully, then he remembered, and yawned immediately: "With you and other people here, what's the use of me being vigilant?" Even if something happens, can I beat others, or can I outrun others? I might as well get some sleep and recharge! ”

Zhu Hong, who came over with Zhuang Tou on the side, immediately smiled when he heard this similar to what he said before. And after he stepped forward, he had just introduced Zhang Shou to the Zhuang head who had served in the Zhao State Mansion and was now equivalent to marrying Zhu Ying, but he didn't want people to salute with a smile on his face, so he said something that surprised him.

"It's a big night, I didn't expect the eldest lady to rush over, and then the uncle also arrived, although someone came to report this in advance, but the little one really felt like a dream!"

"Yingying is actually here?"

"The eldest lady is here?"

Zhang Shou and Ah Liu asked such a sentence almost at the same time, and after getting the positive answer from the head of the village, the master and servant went to see Zhu Hong together, and saw a genuine bitter gourd face: "Son, sixth brother, I really didn't know that the young lady was also here." The young lady hadn't revealed a word before, and this damn fellow, he didn't even say a word to me. ”

Only then did the Zhuang head realize that his eldest lady had sneaked out. And then tasting Zhu Hong's name for Zhang Shou, he immediately realized his biggest mistake, and hurriedly changed his words, and by the way, he called out to hit the sky: "The conscience of heaven and earth, the little one still thinks that you know Hongye, and I think that the son also knows." The young lady has long since rested, and we don't dare to alarm her......"

If Zhu Ying has really arrived, don't look at it as the middle of the night, it's strange that people will have a good rest! Zhang Shou patted his head, and suddenly fell asleep. He didn't bother to listen to so many explanations, so he interrupted bluntly: "Where is Yingying now?" Take me there! ”

Before Ah Liu followed, he suddenly stopped, whispered two words to Zhu Hong, and entrusted the handling of the string of small thieves to Zhang Shou. For him, it is much more important to make sure that the head of the village did not say anything, and Zhu Ying is indeed here, which is much more important than those guys who robbed the road.

So, when he saw Zhu Ying, who was wrapped in a thick coat and hurried out like a gust of wind, the young man immediately stopped without hesitation. Especially when he saw Zhu Ying smiling and directly throwing himself into Zhang Shou's arms, he even picked up the beautiful Zhuang head, just turned his head and left. However, the silver bell-like laughter still penetrated into his ears.

"Ah Shou, are you surprised? Not surprised? My mother and I have already agreed to it, and then I will wait for you here! ”

"It's not so much a surprise as a fright! Yingying, I'll go back tomorrow, can't you wait for me at home? ”
