Chapter 26 Arriving at Ganzhou Prefecture
Ling Xiaoxiao put Ling Wuya on the ground, "Start walking! Since you said you want to start practicing martial arts, don't think about being lazy. I will personally urge you from today on. If you are lazy, then go to Yongzhou in the future On the road, just walk on it!"
After saying this, Ling Xiaoxiao didn't wait for Ling Wuya to speak, and started playing with her spear. Half an hour later, Zhou Yunniang made breakfast. The family was just about to eat when they saw a nanny with two people. A maid came over, carrying a food box in her hand.
The nanny smiled and said, "I'm really sorry. My master asked me to bring some snacks so that my wife and the two young ladies can eat on the way. It's just that I was in a hurry and didn't prepare so much. Please forgive me. I'll wait until next time." A town, let’s buy some more.”
Zhou Yunniang stood up quickly and said with a smile, "Oh, mama, Mrs. Lan is too polite. There is no need to be like this. That's all. Don't spend more money."
Ling Xiaoxiao sat without getting up to speak, as long as her mother was greeting her.
After seeing off the mama, the family started to pack their luggage after having a meal. After loading everything into the carriage, Ling Erzhuang drove the carriage to the end of the Lan family's team, but Mr. Lan came in person. Come and invite the Ling family's carriage to the middle of the procession, walking together with the Lan family master's procession.
Ling Xiaoxiao naturally saw what Lan Yanhang was thinking and didn't reveal it. It was the same wherever he went. Since he promised to protect them, even if he walked to the end of the team, he still had to protect those who should be protected. However, when the two families came to One of the advantages is that when you protect them, your own family is safe, and you don't have to worry about the safety of your own family.
The team began to walk forward. According to the map, if they wanted to go to the next city, they would need to walk for two days. However, they should be able to reach a small town in the evening, and they could stay in the small town tonight.
The whole day passed very peacefully, and there was no more assassination. Ling Xiaoxiao also breathed a sigh of relief. No one's strength is strength. It would be better if no one comes to assassinate him, and he can save some energy, right?
In the evening, the team arrived at a small town called Xile Town. The town didn't look very big, but because the town was located on the east-west thoroughfare, there were many merchants coming and going, so the town was very lively. Fortunately, the Lan family The servants were so powerful that they arrived in the town early and booked an entire inn here, so that the Lan family and the Ling family no longer had to worry about finding a place to stay.
After a busy period, he finally settled down. Ling Xiaoxiao watched his father, Ling Erzhuang, take a few horses to the backyard to feed them, and asked Ling Sanlang to follow him. He was unfamiliar with the place he came here, and he needed it again. Ling Sanlang slowly learned how to feed and bathe the horses.
In the following days, everything was very peaceful, and there was no more assassination. This made Ling Xiaoxiao very satisfied. Since she started following the Lan family, she never spent any money along the way. Everything was done by Lan Yanhang. He has come to take charge. Originally, Ling Xiaoxiao wanted to take out some money for food and drink for his family, but Lan Yanhang directly refused and said nothing.
"The safety along the way depends on the two Ling siblings. If I accept this money, how will I behave?"
Hearing what Lan Yanhang said, Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't hold on anymore. Therefore, in the past few days, Lan Yanhang has been responsible for the food, drink and accommodation along the way. To be honest, it is not the dozen or so that Ling Xiaoxiao received in the cottage. Boxes of gold and silver, including the silver notes defrauded from the man in black a few days ago, totaled more than 40,000 taels. In the past few days, Ling Xiaoxiao also took the opportunity to enter the space, took a look around, and found that The leader of the men in black really did not lie to himself. Although the total of these banknotes was not fifty thousand taels, it was more than forty-eight thousand taels, so Ling Xiaoxiao was not short of money at all.
After dinner in the evening, Ling Erzhuang walked in: "Erya, Mr. Lan just said that we have entered the boundary of Ganzhou today. After passing Ganzhou Prefecture, we will go south to Shuzhou. When we arrive Shuzhou continues eastward along the north bank of the Mingjiang River to Yongzhou, and the trip down here is estimated to take about twenty days!"
Ling Xiaoxiao said indifferently, "Dad, what happened in the past twenty days? Our family members are all in good health. During this time, you, Sanlang and Wuya are practicing martial arts. With such a short distance, you three should be fine. Now you are only worried about me." Mom, although my health has recovered a little, I don’t know if I can make it to Yongzhou Prefecture after such a long journey.”
As soon as Ling Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Zhou Yunniang walked in with a smile, "Don't worry, Erya, my mother's health is very good. Although she suffered a bit of losses in the past few years, she should be eating well and feeling comfortable during this period. , so you are in good health and don’t have to worry about your mother.”
Ling Xiaoxiao thought about it. The spiritual spring water in her own space should be good for her mother's health. When she thought about it, Ling Xiaoxiao felt relieved.
After another three days of travel, the group finally arrived at Fucheng, Ganzhou. This place belongs to the center of Ganzhou. It is also an important route from the hinterland of the Central Plains to the northwest frontier. There are many merchants coming and going. Just entering Fucheng from the city gate, they It took nearly an hour to enter Ganzhou Fucheng.
"Brother Ling, let's stay overnight in Ganzhou Mansion! If we go out of the city for a walk now, we will probably miss the place."
Ling Erzhuang also had this concern and agreed very much: "Well, Brother Lan is right. Let's stay here for one night first and leave the city before dawn tomorrow. We can still catch up with the hostel."
The Lan family's team is huge. Not to mention the Lan family's masters, there are dozens of servants and nearly twenty guards. Plus the Ling family, it really can't be accommodated in an ordinary small inn, because Ganzhou Prefecture is located on a traffic thoroughfare, with too many merchants coming and going, so the search for an inn was delayed for a long time. It was not until noon that the group finally found an inn and stayed.
Lan Yanhang's two children are still young. The eldest son is only four years old, and the daughter is just over one year old. Therefore, they did not come out after staying in the inn. If they wanted to buy something, they had to ask the grandmother around them. Grandma and her servants went out to buy something, but the Ling family had no scruples. As soon as Ling Sanlang and Ling Wuya settled in, they took their parents to go shopping.
Ling Xiaoxiao stayed behind. It wasn't that Ling Xiaoxiao didn't want to go shopping, but since she chose to go with the Lan family, the safety of the Lan family always needed to be taken into consideration, so Ling Xiaoxiao had to stay at the inn to protect the safety of the Lan family.
