Chapter 718
As soon as the words fell, the deer hunter landed lightly on the ground behind the two of them.

"Back to Zhuozhou?" Li Yiru locked his eyebrows lightly, "I...I can't—"

"Listen to the second brother's advice, when did the second brother lie to you." Bai Ling said softly, "Put back your trip to Jingzhou for three months."

"I'm not for this. I won't go to Jingzhou for this time. If the second brother thinks it's dangerous and needs to leave, why don't you go with me?" Li Yiru said, "Since your family and friends are in Jingzhou State, why don't we come together next year—”

"It's not that I'm leaving." Bo Ling said softly, "I haven't finished my work yet. Anyway, you should pack your luggage first."

With that said, Bo Ling got up and turned to the deer hunter, "Can I trouble you to do me another favor?"

"Please say."

"Can you send me silently to Shao Kuan Shao's camp tonight?"

The deer hunter didn't answer, but his smile widened slightly.

……

In the early morning of the next day, the main road at both ends of the east gate was already full of people waiting to leave the city. Whether fleeing famine or migrating, such things were not unfamiliar to them.

It's just that for most people, it's the first time to go on the road in such a snowy day.

It was originally scheduled to open the city gate at Chenshi, but now half an hour has passed since Chenshi, and Shao Kuan still hasn't appeared.

Cao Xun was still sleeping on the kang in the government office, and suddenly someone came to report that Shao Kuan had been waiting for more than half an hour at the gate of the office, Cao Xun was a little unhappy, and left trembling Soft quilt, put on official robes and go out to meet each other.

"Where are people?" He walked through the courtyard of the back office, and saw snow all over the ground, and there was no chair in the reception area for people to sit on.

"It's still at the gate of the yamen in front," the servant replied, "Magistrate Shao said that the people are still waiting in the city, so he dare not enter the high seat of the yamen to drink tea by himself."

"Hmph, I think he just can't get along with me. I know my house is afraid of the cold, so I can walk a little longer..." Cao Xun sneered, "The grasshopper after autumn, I want to see if he can do it." How long does it take to jump, you will lead the way."

"Yes."

Looking at the gate of the county government office, Shao Kuan was standing there, motionless, with a thin layer of snow on his shoulders.

"Master Shao." Cao Xun greeted him very affectionately, "Look at you, I originally wanted to see you and the people on both sides of the house for a ride, but I was worried that it would be late now. Can't catch up, I didn't expect you to come back to the county government again... What, what's the problem?"

"It's not a problem." Shao Kuan didn't raise his eyes, "It's just that last night, the officials thought about the way for the people to move north, and felt that it was a bad idea for everyone to go on the road together, so they drafted a new plan to bring the people out. plan of--"

"Delay is useless, Shao Kuan." Cao Xun's voice dropped, "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Be good, don't force me."

"Prefect Cao, I've made it clear to you," Shao Kuan said with a bit of determination in his eyes, "after all, I am a parent official who looks at both ends. If you really corner me, I will ignore everything In the worst case, we'll die, let Jingzhong take a good look at your face of rejecting dissidents... To risk the lives of my whole family and block Mr. Cao's path to the cabinet in the future, someone Shao should still be able to do it .”

Cao Xun laughed.

"There is only so much food. If it takes a long time, if the people want to share the food in the city, I will not show any mercy."

"It's only five days in total... No, the lower officials understand the food for four days." Shao Kuan said softly, "I won't take an extra piece of food from the city, but I have to leave the city in batches, and the latest batch will be tomorrow night You can also go on the road without too much delay."

"That's no problem. Mr. Shao loves the people like a son, and this TV station is very moved."

Cao Xun caressed his round belly, smiled and watched Shao Kuan disappear into the corner of the street with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The scene in front of him really made him feel funny.

"By the way, my lord," the servants surrounded him, "Wang Meng sent someone to say that starting today, at noon every day, he will check with you about the situation of the day..."

Cao Xun glanced at the servant, "Tell Vice General Wang that I don't understand the war, but it's easy to talk about how to cooperate. All the memorials that have been seen on both sides of the walk should be copied to Wang Meng's barracks. What a waste Regarding the situation at noon... I will not go."

……

In the evening of that day, two horses broke through the wind and snow and went straight to the south gate of Zhuozhou Prefecture.

Since the beginning of winter, the sky has gotten darker and earlier, and the time for closing the city gate has also been moved earlier.

The soldiers guarding the city saw two black horses in the snow from a distance. When they came to the city with their horses, the soldiers immediately shouted, "The city gate has been closed! Come back tomorrow!"

The two people under the city took off their hoods at the same time, one with black hair and the other with white hair, with handsome looks.

The man with black hair raised his head and replied, "Excuse me! May I ask if General Chang Sheng is currently in Zhuozhou Mansion?"

"Who are you?"

The black-haired young man's horse was obviously wild, and he was jumping happily under the city gate at this moment. While firmly controlling the reins, the young man raised his head and replied, "I am Lin Jingzhou, a doctor accompanying the army. Bai, next to him is Wei Chuyun, who has been serving in the Jingzhou Chang Family Army all these years—"

The officers and soldiers on the city gate suddenly exclaimed, "It's Doctor Lin and Shaoxia Wei!"

Before Bai Yi explained his purpose, the soldier poked his head out, "Wait a moment, you two, we'll pass it on!"

After about a cup of tea, the south gate of Zhuozhou Prefecture opened.

The two black horses quickly entered the city one after the other, without any delay, they drove to the east of the city with ease - Changsheng was there.

After dismounting, Bai Yi and Wei Shishi didn't delay for a moment, and ran quickly to the courtyard, where they met Chang Sheng who was out to meet him.

"General Chang!" Bai Yi stepped forward and ran all the way down. He and Wei 14 were already drenched in sweat, and the hair on their foreheads was drenched with sweat. The whole body was steaming white in the cold night.

Bai Yi's eyes looked behind Chang Sheng - but it was a long time before anyone else came out.

"Why are you here?" Chang Sheng looked at the two of them in surprise, "Could there be any changes in Jingzhou?"

"No, Jingzhou is very good!" Bai Yi quickly replied, "We are here to find someone. We received a letter from the general at the beginning of September. We couldn't wait, so we rushed over—"

"Did you find it all the way from the official road?" Chang Sheng asked with a frown.

Seeing Chang Sheng's serious expression, Bai Yi and Wei Shishi felt ominous in their hearts.

"Yes." Wei Shishi replied, "From Fuzhou to Yanzhou, we have asked all the Chang Jiajun we met along the way, except that we were delayed by gold thieves in Yanzhou... They all said I have never heard of the name Wei Songqing, so I think she must be in Zhuozhou...Why, isn't she here?"

"Wei Songqing and Wang Meng should stay on both sides to watch now." Chang Sheng looked at the two people in front of him, "Have you guys been to both sides to look at it?"
