Chapter 333
Spring in the north has always come late. Jiangnan is already a season of melting spring and flowers blooming. The sky in the north is still freezing, and the ice and snow on the ground have not yet melted. , I was so fascinated that I couldn't open my eyes, and the sky was gray.

Out of Tongjiang Mansion, on the official road to Tianxiang Mansion, three fine horses were galloping forward, led by two lean youths in black and strong clothes, followed by a young young man in green cloth.

Horses are a rarity these days, a healthy horse is worth a thousand gold at least, and only generals of the fifth rank and above are eligible to ride horses in the imperial court, let alone ordinary people, who must be either rich or expensive.

The three horses galloped past on the official road. The horses were vigorous and the knights on the horses were also handsome. They attracted the curiosity of many people along the way.

The three of them walked to one place, and Yu He, who was walking in the front, stopped, looked up at the sky, turned to Luo Tiandu and said, "It's getting late, I'll go ahead and check to see if there is any rest." The place."

Luo Tiandu nodded and said, "I'm bothering you, Captain."

The Northland is very different from the prosperous and prosperous Jiangnan. The land is vast and the people are sparsely populated. Sometimes it takes a hundred or eighty miles to see the villages and towns along the way, not to mention that it is close to the border and the folk customs are strong. Thieves and bandits are often haunted, so it is better to travel less during the day than to travel at night.

These two are Wei Que's confidantes, one surnamed Yu, whose name is Yu He, and the other whose surname is Jiang, whose name is Jiang Jun, and they are deeply trusted by Wei Que.Luo Tian knew that Yu He and Jiang Jun often hunted down important criminals and had rich experience in wild life, so even if she was anxious about Wei Que, she wished she could find news about Wei Que earlier, and she followed their arrangements honestly along the way. Never assert yourself.

Yu He kicked the horse's belly, and the horse disappeared like an arrow off the string in a blink of an eye, leaving only dust flying along the way.

Luo Tian looked very ashamed.When she came here, because she disliked the slow speed of the carriage, she chose to go north on horseback. Although she felt a little hard on the way, she was not left behind by Yu He and Jiang Jun. She thought she was very talented, so she only learned for a few months She was able to keep up with two master equestrians with her excellent equestrian skills. Only now did she realize that it was just Yu He and Jiang Jun accommodating her speed.

After more than half an hour, Yu He went back and said: "There is a small town twenty miles ahead, you can rest there at night, and you will arrive at Tianxiang Mansion tomorrow."

Luo Tiandu nodded and said, "It's all thanks to the Captain."

Yu He smiled and said: "The duty of the last general is, Mrs. Wei is polite."

He didn't say anything, but he actually admired Luo Tiandu in his heart.She usually looks like a delicate lady, who doesn't leave the door without leaving the door. Now that something happened to Mr. Wei, she has the courage to leave Shangjing and run to the edge of thousands of miles away. Courage is enough to be admired.

He saw the hard work along the way, and Luo Tian even endured it without saying a word, without complaining at all, and his impression of her changed a lot for a while, if it was because of Wei Que's orders before, so he He regarded protecting Luo Tian as a task, so now he really respected her as Mrs. Wei from the bottom of his heart.

Yu He's horse is fast, and his riding skills are also good. It took more than half an hour to go back and forth, and Luo Tian was much slower. to the town.

It is a small town, but it is more like a market made up of two or three streets. There are not many residents in the town, and most of them are local mountain people.

Luo Tiandu picked a small shop that looked clean from the outside, pushed the door open and entered.

Probably because of the cold weather, there was no business in the store. In the huge lobby, there was only one waiter dozing off with his chin propped up while warming himself by the fire.Seeing them coming in, the shop clerk immediately became energetic, came over and beckoned, "Guest, sit inside."

The three of Luo Tiandu chose a table near the fire and sat down. Yu He couldn't rest for a moment, looked around, and finally ran around in the kitchen, and said skillfully: "Three big bowls of noodles, and another Two pancakes for a full stomach, and two more guest rooms, we have to stay in the hotel."

"Okay——" the waiter dragged his voice, and informed the kitchen to go.

They traveled all the way, eating and sleeping in the open air, and most of the time they just dealt with it with cold water and dry food, especially after leaving the Tongjiang River, where there were few people and it was rare to have a bite of hot food, and finally found a shop to rest, Luo Tian was very concerned I want to buy some delicious treats for Yu He and Jiang Jun, but I also worry that the people who are not familiar with the place and their money should not be exposed, so I have to be patient.

After a while, the hot noodles were served.

Yu He and Jiang Jun were not polite either, they picked up their bowls and began to eat.

In the wilderness here, it is rare to see strangers passing by. The waiter in the shop saw that they were a bit unfamiliar, and Yu Jiang and the two looked handsome, so he couldn't help but take a second look, but he didn't pay much attention to Luo Tian.The folk customs here are tough, the women are also hot-tempered, and they can hold up half the sky just like men. There are not many people who ride donkeys and drive carts to show their faces, so it is nothing unusual.

Shenwuwei was used to running rampant in Shangjing, so Yu He glared at him immediately: "What are you looking at?!"

The waiter in the shop was very careless, he didn't care about Yu He's rude tone, and said with a smile: "I think the two gentlemen are very familiar, aren't they from our Tianxiang Mansion?"

Seeing Yu He's displeasure, Luo Tian hurried ahead of him and said with a smile: "Exactly, we are here to find relatives. An aunt married here. The elders in the family are concerned, so they specially sent us to come and have a look."

When the waiter heard this, he clicked his tongue and said, "Come at this time? It's not very good."

Luo Tiandu said: "Why not?"

Because the business in the store is not good, the clerk guards the dilapidated store all day long, cold and desolate, so boring, it is rare to have a customer today, and he is very enthusiastic, not to mention his busy schedule, he is very approachable when he sees Luo Tian , and was willing to listen to him with an open mind, feeling at ease, and wishing to drag her to talk about it for three days and three nights, when Luo Tian asked about it, he immediately talked about what he had heard like peas. Said to go.

"Hey, entering the city now is not like last year, but it is stricter. Anyone who enters or exits must be interrogated one by one. If the messenger says he will let you in, he will let you in. If he does not let you in, you will not be able to enter. Liu De, who went to the city, was arrested for some reason and was finally released after being locked up for several days. Although our town is so close to the city, no one enters the city now, so I’m afraid that someone who doesn’t Well, like Liu De, he was thrown into prison and suffered a lot in vain."

Luo Tiandu and Mr. Yu Hejiang looked at me and I looked at you, each other had doubts in their eyes, and in the end, Luo Tiandu, whose face was slightly kind, said, "Tianxiang Mansion is close to the border. Going in and out of the city gate is more troublesome than other places, and now there is a war, probably to prevent barbarian spies from sneaking into the city."

Seeing that they didn't know, the waiter in the shop showed off a little, and spoke more vigorously: "Well, if you want to talk about trouble, you have fought in wars before, and it was not as strict as this time. Later, Liu De came back and said that the officers and soldiers in the city What kind of assassin are you looking for! You just came here, but you don’t know that something terrible has happened to our Tianxiang Mansion.”

"What disaster?" Luo Tiandu asked.

The shop clerk was now convinced that they really came from a foreign country: "You don't even know this? A few days ago, a high-ranking official came to the city, and on the first day he came, he arrested General Sun from the North Now, say that he is negligent and dereliction of duty or something, you want him to..." When he was speaking, he put his hand on his neck and made a beheading motion.

"Is there such a thing?" Luo Tiandu asked in surprise.

"Can I still lie to you? It was originally planned to beheaded on the eighth day of the lunar new year, but that night, someone found the prison in the government office and killed General Sun. Now the officers and soldiers are chasing the assassin everywhere!"

"Assassin?" Luo Tiandu was really surprised this time, and he and Mr. Yu Hejiang looked at each other, Sun Houze was assassinated, he was clearly silenced.

"That's right, I heard that the assassin was very skilled. He not only killed General Sun, but even the prison guards were killed. Hey, what do you think this is all about? It’s good to be an official, how do you know that such a big official will go to prison as soon as he says he will go to prison, and he will be chased and killed in prison.”

After all, the waiter was just a clerk, so he couldn't be lazy for too long, so Yu He also brought the cakes he asked for, so he went to help in the kitchen.

As soon as he left, Luo Tiandu lowered his voice and said, "Sun Houze is dead? Cheng Enhou's family is down, and the fourth prince is also dead. Who else wants his life?"

Yu He and Jiang Jun obviously did not expect this result, and were greatly surprised.

Yu He said: "That old thief killed His Highness Eighth Prince and Lord Wei, he should have died long ago."

Jiang Jun has always been thoughtful, frowned and thought for a while, and said: "It is reasonable to say that Sun Houze's case was judged by His Majesty himself, and he will die sooner or later. There is really no need to risk entering Tianxiang Prison to assassinate him, just to let him die two days earlier, unless He knew something else that someone didn't want him to say."

"What exactly does he know?" Luo Tiandu asked.

Jiang Jun thought for a while, and said: "Tomorrow, I will go to Tianxiang Mansion to investigate and see the situation."

Mr. Yu Hejiang and his wife had big bellies. They ate a bowl of noodles and dipped the two pancakes in sauce. They didn't feel full until they were clean.

Luo Tian paid for the meal, and recruited the waiter from the shop, and said, "Second brother, please burn another two barrels of hot water, and I will keep the extra money for you to eat at the bar."

Although the waiter in the shop was a little surprised that the three of them were eating, it turned out that a woman paid for it, but he got a reward, so he didn't think about it, and happily went to the kitchen to boil water.

Luo Tiandu and Mr. Yu Hejiang went up to the second floor. Yu He went into the room to look around, then bent over and looked under the tables, chairs and benches. , From the beginning to the end, I really didn't miss anything, so I got up and said: "There is no trick, Mrs. Wei can rest assured to sleep tonight."

Luo Tian has been traveling all the way, and now he is too tired to care about other things, so he took a shower and went to bed.
