Shu Blossoms

Chapter 493
Zheng Cong was thinking about the time, he had to send these things back to Xiulizhuang, and then change vehicles to transport them out of the city. I'll come again, just the carriage can't hold so many things!"

As he spoke, Zheng Cong took out a cloth bag from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Zhai You, "This is your wages, order some!"

Zhai You put it into his arms without even looking at it, and asked him, "Where is that person?"

"Who?" Zheng Cong didn't understand for a moment.

"The gentleman surnamed Xiao!" Zhai You wanted to see Xiao Yucheng again.

"If you want to see him, go to the place before. He won't come today." Zheng Cong said, grabbed a rice bag and walked out, "Help me!"

"Okay!" Zhai You hurriedly helped to hide the bags under the plain brocade, hiding them tightly.

Zheng Cong left with the carriage, and Zhai You thought about it and hurriedly chased him out, "I'll send you the rest, it will save some time."

Zheng Cong thought for a while and agreed, "Then you can send it to Xiuli Village, you should know where it is!"

When Zhai You sent the last four sacks of rice, Zheng Cong had already left the city in a carriage, and a young man came out and told him, "Our manager told you to keep it for yourself. It's best not to go there again these few days. I bought food, so as not to get into trouble."

Feeling a little disappointed, Zhai You distributed the food to Da Ya and the others. He thought that they would leave when Xiao Yucheng was gone, and ran back to Shi Ye unwillingly.

He didn't dare to go in through the gate, but made a detour around the back, taking advantage of people's unpreparedness to climb over the wall and enter.

Relying on his memory, he searched for the room he had been to while hiding from people. After a while, he saw the room with a smile on his face. Just as he was about to run over, a figure jumped out in front of him. Hidden, but was caught, and then the familiar voice came from behind, "Why are you running, aren't you here to find me?"

Zhai You said pleasantly: "You didn't leave?"

The corners of Xiao Yucheng's mouth curled up imperceptibly, and then said lightly: "Follow me!"

The two returned to the house, Xiao Yucheng looked up at him, "Why are you looking for me?"

Zhai You gritted his teeth when he heard the words, and knelt down, "I want to follow you!"

"What are you following me for? You don't know who I am, so you're not afraid that I will lead you astray?" Xiao Yucheng asked coldly.

Zhai You said to himself: "Although I am young, I have never seen him before. I know that Mr. Lang is a powerful person, and he is the person I dream of becoming."

"Good boy, you dare to say it!" Xiao Yucheng couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and he who didn't like to talk too much asked him instead, "What if you got it wrong this time?"

Zhai You was taken aback by the question, he struggled for a moment and gritted his teeth: "I admit it!"

Xiao Yucheng nodded, "I advise you not to make a hasty decision, don't go out recently and think about it carefully, when everything is settled here, if you still don't change your original intention, come find me again!"

The words were ambiguous, and Zhai You asked puzzledly, "Why is everything settled? When was that?"

After asking, he looked at Xiao Yucheng's eyes and immediately understood that he couldn't ask, so he got up silently and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he asked, "I'll share those bags of rice with Da Ya, Liang Zi, and He Sheng, the brothers who helped me buy grain together."

"Tell them not to go out these few days, and the rice will be your rations for these days!"

After hearing Xiao Yucheng's words, Zhai You was relieved, and promised: "I will be optimistic about them."

Zheng Cong came to the gate of the city with two carriages brought by his personal servants. The guards stopped them and asked, "What is in the carriage? What are you doing out of the city at this hour?"

"This one belongs to Xiuli Village in Jingdu. It is full of clothes for Mrs. Yang's daughter."

Zheng Cong hurriedly opened the door of the carriage, revealing exquisite sandalwood boxes inside, and then opened one, inside was a delicately embroidered, lifelike snow-covered skirt.

"This is the clothes ordered by Hongdu's wife. I am in a hurry. The Yang family's female family members went to the Puji Temple outside the city to pray for blessings. Didn't the servants order us to send them over immediately. To be honest, it was too sudden. , We left the city at this hour in a hurry, I guess we won't be able to make it back to the city tonight, we have to wait in the wilderness all night."

Zheng Cong complained and felt helpless, but he was holding a note with the official seal of Governor Yang's office in his hand.

The guards reassured them after discussing for a few words, and Zheng Cong was relieved when he left the city gate, only then did he feel his back was soaked!

Zheng Cong and the others passed a mountain depression in a carriage, and suddenly a group of masked men ran out from the nearby forest and surrounded them.

"Lang Jun, what, what should I do?" Although the servant's face was pale, he still insisted on protecting Zheng Cong behind him, "No, I will lead them away with the carriage, you run first!"

Zheng Cong patted the servant's shoulder in relief, and then solemnly warned: "There are too many of them, if they can't do it, let's withdraw first, don't resist, life is more important!"

Then when the thieves were about to surround them, their master and servant turned their heads decisively and fled.

These thieves were not interested in the two of them, so they just pulled the carriage and left quickly.

When the bandits left with the carriage, the servant who fled and hid not far away asked Zheng Cong, "Your Majesty, do you look like a slave?"

Zheng Cong patted him with a smile, "It's quite similar, don't delay, we still have to go to Puji Temple, if it's late, it's hard to explain to Madam Yang."

What he discussed with Xiao Yucheng before was still on the pretext of going out of the city to buy goods, but this morning he was collecting plain brocade in Zhixiu Lane with great fanfare, it was already too ostentatious, if the guards wanted to strictly investigate, it would be impossible to hide it.

Unexpectedly, after he went back, he heard that the county guard's family had come to deliver the letter, asking them to send all the clothes Mrs. Yang had ordered to Puji Temple outside the city.So the reason they left the city this time was not a lie, and the guards in Hongdu City also knew that the wife of the county guard went to Puji Temple to pray for blessings a few days ago. Famous for saying one thing, even Yang Junshou would not dare to reprimand her on weekdays.

Therefore, when Zheng Cong took out the stamped note, the guards didn't doubt it at all, and they didn't dare to search the carriage containing the sheriff's wife's things, so they were able to leave the city smoothly.

If Xiulizhuang wants to gain a foothold in Hongdu, it has to take good care of Mrs. Yang, and she dare not neglect her at all!

Zheng Cong and his servants rushed to a hidden path somewhere in the forest and whistled a few times, a carriage squeezed out with difficulty.

If Zheng Cong hadn't strayed into this place when he first came to Hongdu, he really didn't know that the bushes here could never hide a carriage.

And after the group of thieves who robbed the carriage entered the forest, they looked at each other with excited expressions, and the leader pulled the kerchief on his face, revealing the delicate face inside, it was Zheng Heng.

Seeing him like this, the others also tore off the veils covering their faces, including Hao Zesong and Zhang Dazhang Er.

Zheng Heng waved his hand and said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, do it!"

They quickly opened the door of the carriage, and after a closer look, they could see that the carriage looked like a normal carriage on the outside, but it was much smaller inside, and could only accommodate one or two people.

Zhang Da jumped into the carriage and quickly disassembled it. After a while, he dismantled a pile of wooden boards, revealing the bags of grain hidden inside.

Then they put the grain on the horses, or carried it on their own. After all the grain was moved, they abandoned the carriage and rushed towards the deep mountains.
