It was about fifty or sixty miles from Qingyang Town to Moshan Post. Ye Yunxiu packed up and set off on his horse. After an hour, he arrived near Moshan Post.
The waning moon is like a bow under the night, the starry sky is lonely, and the lanterns hanging high on the post station flagpole are particularly conspicuous in the dark night. Ye Yunxiu stood quietly, and a few long owls cried out in the grass beside the road, and a black shadow ran over quietly with his waist.
“The master of the village,” Xu Santai whispered, “The situation seems to be something wrong. My subordinates found that there were dozens of horses in the yard of the inn, which must be not from the He family. This group of people came from and were on guard. There were people on duty around the inn, so my subordinates did not dare to approach.”
Ye Yunxiu thought for a while, but the situation was unclear, so he had to decide to wait until dawn.
She hid her horse in the nearby mountains and forests, quietly approached Moshan Post, stopped dozens of feet away from the post station, picked up a big tree with dense branches and leaves on the side of the road and climbed up. She looked at the station diagonally opposite and observed. She couldn’t see anything in the night, so she leaned on the tree branch and closed her eyes to rest.
After all, this place is the official post of the court. There were two people coming at night, both of whom were one person and one horse. They should be postmen who conveyed military information. They quickly replaced people and horses and galloped away, and they were at peace all night.
After waiting, I waited until the east sky revealed the whiteness of the fish belly, and the morning light was dim, and there was movement in the station. Looking from Ye Yunxiu’s perspective, I saw the postman coming out to feed the horses from afar. There were indeed many horses tied in the stable in the yard. When I saw that there were at least fifty or sixty horses, and there were also a large carriage with green curtains and dark green tassels. It looked quite luxurious. The carriage seemed to be a bit particular, but unfortunately she didn’t understand. Xie Ring would know if she was there. Moshan Post is not big, the whole courtyard is full, and soldiers in military uniforms come out to walk around from time to time.
He Shouyong’s second-horse carriage was also parked on one side of the yard, and he couldn’t see anything else. From this height, he was blocked by the wall and could not see the entire yard.
Ye Yunxiu frowned. Could Xie Rang’s analysis be wrong? He Shouyong was so handsome that the officers and soldiers had already arrived last night.
If this is true, she had to stop.
It was getting darker and I didn’t seem to see the servants and women from the He family coming out to play. Ye Yunxiu pondered for a moment, and called on his subordinates who were hidden nearby to try to inquire. Not long after, a man pretended to be a mountain man, and was carrying a bundle of firewood behind him, bowing his head and bent over and walking past the gate of the station.
At this moment, several servants appeared in the yard and stood there to pack up He Shouyong’s carriage. Ye Yunxiu speculated that the He family was about to set off and immediately slipped down the tree to find her horse. She hid in the forest and waited for a while, but there was no movement across the street.
“Master,” Xu Santai bent over and ran over and whispered, “It’s roughly clear. It’s a coincidence that another group of people who moved in last night heard that it was Prince Jing. There were too many people and could not stay there. They didn’t give enough rooms for the He family. Most of the He family’s family members were all married.The follower lived in a rural wild shop not far away. It was more than half a mile away in front of him. The subordinates saw the He family’s carriage. “
It’s so good!
Ye Yunxiu was delighted and immediately decided: “I happened to be hungry, so I just went to the store for breakfast! “
Xu Santai hurriedly said, “I will bring someone with you again, otherwise it would be unreasonable for the leader of the village to travel alone, a young woman, riding a horse. “
“You showed up yesterday, so don’t go. “Ye Yunxiu said, “Besides, I am a weak woman, but I don’t feel wary. “
“…” Xu Santai opened his mouth and looked tangled. Let’s go, a weak woman.
Ye Yunxiu put on his hat and rode his horse on the road alone, passing by the entrance of Moshan Post. The official post did not entertain the people. It was true that there must be a wild shop where there was a few thatched huts on the roadside. There were a large wine flags on one side of the road. There were indeed a row of carriages parked along the roadside at the door. It was indeed the He family’s convoy.
She got off at the door and walked in generously. The servants of the He family at the door drove him away and said with a bad voice: “Go and go, don’t come, we have booked this shop. “
“I don’t live in a store, can I buy a meal?” Ye Yunxiu asked in a soft voice, “My second brother is a regular customer. There are no other stores on this road, but he can still sell a meal.”
“It’s sold. “The waiter hurried over and smiled at the servant, “It’s convenient for you to go out. This girl comes often, and it’s okay to buy a meal.” “
The waiter asked her to go into the store to sit down. There was not much breakfast in the store, so Ye Yunxiu ordered a bowl of porridge, two meat buns and a boiled egg.
Fortunately, Xie Rang was careful and brought her money yesterday. When the waiter brought the meal, Ye Yunxiu quickly paid the money first, otherwise if he started to fight back and shortened the meal.
“Is the girl the only one?” The waiter put down the bowl and asked.
“My family will arrive later. “Ye Yunxiu said.
She lifted up the white gauze in front of the curtain and ate on her own. She finished her meal slowly, and the people from the He family didn’t move, so she continued to sit in the store and waited. From time to time, the maids and servants of the He family came down and told the waiter to ask for this and that.
Ye Yunxiu originally thought that He Shouyong, He Zichen and others would set off from the post station, pass through the wild shop to meet other families, and go to Shigu County together. Who knew that she had waited for a while, and when the curtain was lifted, He Zichen wore a blue brocade robe and suddenly came out of the door in the lobby.
It turned out that this guy didn’t live at the post station last night, Ye Yunxiu was very happy and found it without any effort. He came to the door!
He Zichen followed a few servants and a woman in pink. While walking out, the woman in pink asked, “Master, why are you going back again? Are we not going to rush today?”
“Drive your motherNothing! “He Zichen cursed, “I was robbed yesterday and I didn’t even have any money. How do you think my father is going to leave? Now we have to stay here for two days. First, we want to find some money for travel expenses, second, there is no one in the yamen runners in Shigu County, so we still have to rely on Lingzhou to arrest the bandits, and this group of escort masters are useless, so we have to change them. Besides, the Cui family who lost yesterday has to look for her. She still has the seeds of her master in her belly. ”
