Luo Heng nodded slowly and said: "It's not that I don't believe in Xin'er, but I just think that Xin'er's going into business and letting others know that he becomes a businessman will be looked down upon by those scholars and will affect his future official career."

"Yes, Xin'er." Luo Zhi took the conversation and said with concern: "Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have the lowest status. If you go into business, you will lose the opportunity to be an official. Businessmen fight for profit and are despised by scholars. Don't be careless."

Luo Xin nodded and said, "I know, I'm just giving advice to others, I'm not the one doing business."

"That's good!" Luo Heng and Luo Zhi nodded together, with a relaxed look on their faces.Afterwards, Luo Heng's face tightened again and he said:

"We packed up overnight and tried to enter the city as soon as possible."

"Father, our family only has one bullock cart, which is not enough at all." Luo Ye said.

"Then make another car overnight, and then I, you, and Sheng'er will take turns pulling the car."

Luo Ye looked at Luo Ping and said, "Second brother, your family has three horses, can you borrow a horse-drawn cart?"

Before Luo Ping could speak, Luo Xin immediately said, "No, there is no guarantee that we will not encounter bandits on the way to the county seat, so all horses must be ready to fight at any time."

At the beginning when Luo Xin disagreed, not to mention Luo Ye, even Luo Heng's expression was a bit ugly, but after hearing Luo Xin's explanation, Luo Heng gave Luo Ye a look and said:

"Did you hear that? Xin'er is not as thoughtful as Xin'er is at such an advanced age."

"Yes!" Luo Ye lowered his head and answered.

"Grandpa, our family has three horses, and Uncle Zhang's family also has three horses. At that time, the four servants of the teacher's family will also leave with us. In this way, we will have ten horses. As long as we don't encounter big gangsters, we should We were able to reach the county seat safely."

"Hmm!" Luo Heng said proudly, "Grandpa is not a vegetarian, and the Zhang family should have some young and strong family members following them. Even if there are one or two hundred rogues, we can deal with them."

Luo Xin also nodded, chatted for a few more words, then Luo Ping and Luo Xin left.After leaving the house, Luo Xin told his father that he was going to Lin Chang's house, invited the teacher to go to the county town with him, and then walked towards Lin Chang's house, while Luo Ping went back to pack up his things.

Lin Chang agreed very happily. In this era, teachers are like fathers. Lin Chang felt that it was normal to go to the county town to live in Luo Xin's house.With the teacher's permission, Luo Xin returned home happily.

the next day.

The whole village was busy, and Zhang Shu and his family were busy distributing food.Zhang Shu's wife directed the other servants in the family to pack the soft and food and other things to be moved.

In the afternoon, Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun rode to Shanglin Village with four yamen servants.These two people were afraid that Zhang Shu and Luo Xin would not move to the county seat, so they rushed back to Shanglin Village in person, and Zhou Zhixian was worried about them, so he chose four yamen servants with relatively best martial arts skills to protect them.

As soon as Luo Xin saw the two of them, he was overjoyed. Each of the two brothers had a knife on them. This was not the kind of decorative saber worn by a scholar, but a real knife for killing people.It's just that the two brothers hold the knife like they don't want to cut people.

I have been busy for six days, in fact, most of the time is waiting for Zhang Shu's family.The Luo family is a small family, even if Luo Xin's family has improved now, but the time is too short and there is not much to take. An ox cart can solve the problem. On the car is the big box that Luo Xin used to transcribe the article. , and then the food takes up some space, as for the soft...

Luo Xin's family didn't have much money, but his grandfather's family had a lot of things. Luo Xin couldn't help sighing that the family was worth a lot. As long as this family exists for a long time, there will be many things.An ox cart was fully loaded, and there was another cart pulled by Luo Ye, just like that, there were still some things put on the ox cart of Luo Xin's family.

Zhang Shu's family assembled four carts, including two ox carts, two donkey carts, and a mule cart. Zhang Shu's wife sat on it, and invited Luo Xin's grandmother, mother, and eldest aunt. Sitting on it with my aunt, Zhang Shu's two sisters-in-law, and a few little girls, as for the man, he can walk on two legs.

Zhang Shu's two younger brothers also own two carts, one for ox carts and one for donkey carts.Now there are twelve cars in total, but eleven of them are pulled by livestock, and one car in Luo Heng's family is pulled by Luo Ye.

The number of horses has increased to sixteen, but Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun actually have no combat power and cannot be considered cavalry at all.But no one dared to borrow a horse from them, even Luo Ye, who was pulling the cart, couldn't open his mouth, and even Luo Xin couldn't open his mouth.If they encounter rogues, these two people can escape on horseback.Zhou Yu is the son of Zhou Zhixian and Zhang Shu of Zhang Xun.Zhang Xun wanted to give the horse to his father to ride, but Zhang Shu sat next to the owner of the car, and he resolutely refused to ride. He also told him that if there is a rogue, he should run away on horseback if he has the opportunity, and leave him alone. Dad.

Luo Xin asked Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun to lead the four yamen servants in the rear. With their combat power, they couldn't charge forward at all, and it was okay to run behind.The three cavalry servants of Zhang Shu's family were placed on the right by Luo Xin, three of the four servants of Lu's family were placed on the left by Luo Xin, and the remaining one was used as a scout to investigate ahead.And Luo Ping, Luo Qing and Luo Xinye walked in the front to open the way.

At the beginning, Luo Ye and Luo Sheng wanted to let Luo Xin give up the horse to one of them. They were worried that Luo Xin, a scholar, would hurt themselves if he charged, but Luo Xin said "Your riding skills are not good" so that the Grandpa drooped his head.The two of them have never ridden a horse before. Last time they snatched Zhang Shujiading's horse to hunt down the bandits, but they almost fell off the horse themselves.As for Luo Xin, father and son, because they had horses at home, Luo Xin never stopped riding when they went back and forth to the county, so they still had some foundation in riding skills.

Shanglin Village gradually moved away behind. Twelve vehicles and dozens of people were heading towards the county town on the road, forming a line.Zhang Yunniang sat on the donkey cart and looked at Luo Qing's back, blinking her eyes and blushing.

A sound of hoofbeats woke Zhang Yunniang who was in a daze. She raised her eyes and looked forward, and saw the servant of Lu's mansion galloping towards them on horseback.

"Master Luo, it's not good." The servant's face was serious.

"What's the matter?" Luo Xin was also taken aback, and asked hastily.

"The gates of the county seat have been closed, and the suspension bridge is suspended, preventing them from entering the city. Many refugees gathered outside the city and were kept out."

"Why?" At this time, everyone gathered around and asked in a hurry.
