Shu Blossoms

Xiao Yucheng said calmly: "We must first find a safe place to settle down the seriously injured soldiers, so that we can go on our way with peace of mind."

Zhao Mingzhi interrupted suddenly: "If you use Pengze water to go north, you must pass through Pengze County. There is an old friend of mine in the county. If the princess is at ease, he can entrust these seriously injured soldiers to my old friend for a while, and ask him to help find a water boat. "

Zheng Wei was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Master, it would be great if we can do this!"

The people dragged their exhausted bodies and continued to walk to Pengze County. After a day's driving, the curfew was already in place when they arrived in Pengze County. Zhao Mingzhi asked them to wait outside the city, and went to the county by himself.

After more than half an hour, the city gate of Pengze County opened suddenly, and a figure could be faintly seen coming out by the faint firelight on the city wall.

Zheng Wei and Xiao Yucheng glanced at each other, and they watched vigilantly as two figures approached.

When I got closer, I realized that one of the people who came out was Master Zhao Mingzhi.

"Master, isn't your old friend the county magistrate of Pengze?"

Zheng Wei went up to look at the people behind him, and asked curiously.There was faint worry in her words. After all, Pengze County was too close to Jiujiang City, so she was worried about the parents and Han family members in Pengze County.

"No," Zhao Mingzhi shook his head, Zheng Wei had just breathed a sigh of relief, and then he continued: "My old friend's surname is Peng, the father-in-law of Sun You, the magistrate of Pengze County!"

Although the question was not uttered, everyone looked at each other tacitly. Zhao Mingzhi suggested, "Go to the side and hide, and Bei'er and I will find a way to find out."

Hearing what he said, Xiao Yucheng took it to look at it again, and gave it to Chu Ping again, but Chu Ping didn't pick it up, his duty was to protect Zheng Wei, he would go wherever Zheng Wei went.

They finally reached the bank of Pengze Water, and they felt worried again, "How should we cross the water next?"

Qing Shishi and Qing Shisan naturally didn't look at it either, so Xiao Yucheng could only return it to Zhao Mingzhi, "Then let's hurry up, those who are injured will not be able to hold on if they don't get treated!"

Zhao Bei smiled proudly, "What is this? There are so many thrilling things in these years, even..."

"Army!" Zheng Wei spat out two words, causing everyone to fall into silence, and everyone had doubts in their hearts, "Whose army is this coming, is it an enemy or a friend?"

Zheng Wei and Xiao Yucheng also looked over and counted more than a dozen big boats. Seeing the size of the boats, each boat can accommodate dozens of people, everyone's expressions immediately became serious, and Zhao Mingzhi said in a deep voice: "I didn't hear that there is a boat nearby. Such a large caravan, but if it is not a caravan, why do we need so many ships?"

Zhao Bei heard the words and thought for a while, then looked at Master, "Master, do you still remember that when we passed by Peng Zeshui, we helped the nearby fishermen repel a group of water bandits."

Until Zheng Wei read the letter carefully, in the letter he told the farm steward that spring planting would be prepared in half a month, they were some distant relatives of his wife's natal family, their family was hit by a disaster, and they asked for a place to stay.They were temporarily placed on Zhuangzi to help prepare for the spring planting.The letter also entrusted them not to treat them harshly according to the usual rules of daily life and food.

"How about I try my luck?" Zhao Bei tentatively asked, and Ma Xingyun suddenly said: "Princess, look, are those water boats?"

At the end of the letter, Peng Yuanzhi's private seal was also printed.

Zhou Guanshi smiled and said: "The princess can rest assured, Mr. Peng will take good care of everyone."

Zheng Wei subconsciously wanted to show Xiao Yucheng to read the letter again, and suddenly realized that her actions might cause people to misunderstand, so she took it back embarrassingly, and smiled foolishly at Zhao Mingzhi.

Zheng Wei jumped over in surprise, and asked repeatedly, "Really? Have you guys ever experienced such a thrilling thing?"

What can the blind people see here?
Zhao Mingzhi reached out and knocked on her forehead, then took out an oil candle and lit it like a magic trick, Zheng Wei touched the painful place, and muttered, "You are the master, I can bear it!"

In this way, Zheng Wei and his party left from outside Pengze County, heading for the farm they mentioned.

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Mingzhi looked at the people behind him, and introduced to everyone, "This is Guanshi Zhou from Peng Gong's residence, let him take us to the farm." Zheng Wei and the others bowed to Guanshi Zhou, but Guanshi didn't dare to turn sideways Shou, took out a small burden from behind.

Zhao Mingzhi showed Peng Gong's letter to Zheng Wei, Zheng Wei looked at him helplessly, and said angrily, "Master!"

He opened it and there were a lot of shortbread inside. Zhao Mingzhi took it, handed it to Zhao Bei together with his own baggage, and said, "I can't take too much, share it with everyone! You can have a full meal when you arrive at the farm."

Zhao Mingzhi took back the letter, handed it to Xiao Yucheng himself, and admitted: "You are the backbone of everyone now, and it is a good thing to act safely. You have also grown up, and you are no longer the frizzy child you used to be."

"This..." Zheng Wei stared blankly, "Is it reliable?"

Zheng Wei looked at Zhao Bei and asked: "Senior Brother, you and Master have traveled all over the world, is there any fisherman you know here?"

"Bei'er! What time are you still joking!" Zhao Mingzhi interrupted Zhao Bei's words, and pondered: "It has been many years now, I wonder if those fishermen still remember us, and this kind of favor may not be able to ask for it!"

"Yes, it seems that there are quite a few ships." Xiao Feng and Xiao Yang jumped up and looked into the distance.

Zheng Wei reminded him, "Give those seriously injured first, those who don't have the strength to walk."

"The princess is kind!" Steward Zhou praised, and then said to everyone: "Peng Gong prepared some carriages for everyone at the Changting Pavilion not far away, we can see them after a few steps."

"I know you are worried," Zhao Mingzhi patted her reassuringly, and patiently explained, "Although Duke Peng is the father-in-law of County Magistrate Sun, the late Emperor was kind to him, so he is absolutely loyal to His Majesty and Da Zhou. Mr. Peng thought it would be too eye-catching for so many of us to enter the city together, so he wrote a letter and asked us to take it to the farm three miles away, where it would be more appropriate to hide."

In the night, they could see a large area of ​​cultivated land standing outside the village. Zheng smiled and said, "If we become farmers, we will not be conspicuous in this vast land."

Without embarrassing her after speaking, he said to Xiao Yucheng and the others: "I haven't seen Mr. Peng for many years, you should also take a look, if something goes wrong, you can be prepared for it."

After receiving the letter and reading it, Xiao Yucheng, Zhao Bei and the others quietly watched their master and apprentice getting along, and no one spoke.

After settling them down, Zheng Wei and the others ate and drank enough to rest for an hour, and then quietly left with the remaining fifty or so people before dawn.

"Thank you!" Zheng Wei solemnly thanked.

Zheng Wei also wanted to go, but was glared at by her master and senior brother Qi Qi, and Xiao Yucheng even dragged her behind her, so she could only shut up embarrassingly.

They waited anxiously for a long time, and when the sun was high, there was no news from Zhao Mingzhi's master and apprentice, and everyone was full of worries, Ma Xingyun took the initiative to say: "Princess, General Xiao, why don't I go check again?"

Zheng Wei refused, "Wait another quarter of an hour, if there is no news, let's talk!"

"Princess, Sister Wei!" At this moment, there was a clear and clear female voice.

"Linger!"
