Chapter 502 Road Rumors
Under the shade of a tree, Liang Han took out a map. He should be not far from Yuyang.
The leader took off his straw hat and stretched his neck to look at the road ahead.
The sweat on his forehead was glistening. He said while fanning himself: "Madam, it's really hot. There is a town ahead. Let's take a rest there and continue on our way."
Liang Huan turned to look at the other people in the team, with fatigue on their faces.
She took off the purse from her waist and handed it to the leader.
“We’ll be in town soon, buy some herbal tea for everyone, and share the rest with them.”
The team leader was surprised, with hesitation on his face: “This…how is this? "
Liang Huan smiled and put the purse into his hand: "Take it, thank you for taking care of us along the way, otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to go so smoothly."
The team leader thought for a while, then waved his hand: "You are our big boss's distinguished guest, how dare we take your money..."
Liang Huan smiled and said: "You can accept it with peace of mind, there will be no problem."
Seeing her insistence, the team leader hesitated to collect the money, thanked him respectfully, and then went to tell others that there was more inside. Somewhat dedicated.
Gao Qian walked up from behind Liang Huan, looked up at the dazzling sun, then looked at the back of the team leader, and sneered: "I think you run this grain store and medicine store, right?"< br>
If it hadn’t been for last year’s New Year’s Eve, he wouldn’t have been able to notice it. There were grain stores, pharmacies, clothing stores, rouge and gouache shops... On the surface, they bore the name of Song Ji and were managed by Song Tan, but they were basically just... She was scheming behind the scenes.
Liang Huan was stunned, turned to the side and smiled, with a low voice: "What do you mean, Your Majesty? Officials have always been strictly prohibited from doing business. The concubine is the queen, how can she know the law and break the law? Besides, doing business is shameful, so How could a concubine do this? ”
Is it shameful to do business? Degrading yourself?
Gao Qian looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile. He had not forgotten to deliver the food and medicinal materials to Tu Yang. Is that something he could do just by being "the boss's distinguished guest"?
"Who took Gu Gu to set up a stall on New Year's Eve?"
Liang Huan smiled sarcastically and did not intend to continue to argue with him about this issue. She turned around to look for him before he asked the next question. Wang Tingyue.
I still need to tell him a few more words about my appointment with the governor of Yuyang.
Qingshui Town is not a big place. There is a tea shed under the leafy ginkgo tree. When pedestrians passing by, they will always sit under the tree to rest and drink a bowl of herbal tea.
This is the time when the sun is at its most poisonous, and there are many people sitting under the tea shed.
Liang Huan and Gao Qian were sitting at the same table, holding a cold tea bowl in their hands, but their eyes were paying attention to the people around them.
Whether it is the Queen Mother, King Guangping, or anyone else, it is best not to expose their whereabouts until they return to Jinye safely.
Gao Qian glanced at the coarse porcelain bowl. There were unknown residues floating on the dark brown tea soup. He frowned and dropped the bowl in disgust.
"Liang Han, what do you want to do, or what do you want?"
Liang Han turned his head and met a pair of dark eyes, full of inquiry. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Why did he suddenly Ask about this.
Just as she was about to speak, Gao Qian sneered.
“Don’t coax me.”
Seeing him like this, Liang Huan was silent for a long time.
She had asked this question before and was asked by others.
At first, what she wanted was simple, that is, revenge, no matter the cost or any means, as long as she could get revenge.
The initial purpose of running a drug store and a grain store was to save oneself, but later it was felt to be a way out.
Liang Huan smiled calmly and said, "I'm afraid of being hungry, I'm afraid of being poor, and I'm even more afraid of being betrayed."
Gao Qian frowned, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Liang Huan didn't care about his gaze, picked up the bowl, and took a sip of herbal tea to moisten her throat, heartlessly.
"People have always asked women to obey their father at home, their husbands when they get married, and their sons when their husbands die." She paused and asked, "I didn't understand before. Why should I obey? Isn't it okay if I don't?" Liang Wan pursed her lips: "I didn't understand when I was young, and mistakenly thought I could disobey. Later, I suffered a lot, and it was only then that I realized that I had to disobey. Until now, I have never disobeyed -"
She stopped talking and continued the previous question with a smile on her face: "What I want, at best, is the same wind thousands of miles away, and a banquet on the sea and clear rivers. To put it bluntly, I just thought about it. Let’s live a peaceful life.”
Gao Qian looked at the person in front of him quietly. The disguised face was very unfamiliar, but his eyes remained unchanged, but the light in these eyes was more dazzling than the sunlight above his head. .
"Liang Huan——"
He moved his lips, and just as he said these two words, two people suddenly came next to him.
"Is there no one sitting here?"
Gao Qian glanced over, but before he spoke, the two of them sat down and shouted to the tea stall owner at the top of their lungs I asked for two bowls of herbal tea.
Gao Qian's face turned dark and he was about to get angry. Liang Huan quickly grabbed him with quick eyes and hands. She looked into his eyes and shook her head gently. They must not conflict with others now.
What's more, these two people knew they were emissaries just by looking at their clothes.
Gao Qian lowered his head and glanced at the hand holding his own. He could only suppress his anger and turned his head to look into the distance.
After the two emissaries sat down, they glanced at Liang Huan's face wildly, and then looked at Gao Qian again. Seeing that they were just ordinary people, they turned their attention elsewhere and spoke as if no one was watching.
Not long after they sat down, three or five more people came. Although they were sweating profusely, they were well-dressed but not very particular about their words and deeds. They cursed the weather and sat at the next table.
Everyone is there in the tea shed, the weather is hot, the smell of sweat is overwhelming, and now it is even more noisy.
Gao Qian's face turned darker and darker, and he couldn't bear it anymore: "Let's go."
Liang Huan didn't dare to force it, for fear that he would go crazy in the next moment, so he had no choice but to nod: "Okay... "
"Tell me, isn't this a torment? "
As soon as the people at the table sat down, they began to complain, and their voices were not low.
"Oh, forget it. I have been unlucky for eight lifetimes. As soon as I heard that Zhou Jun arrived in Lianzhou, he sold his ancestral home and farm overnight. The price was so low that it was like giving it away for free. It's better now. They actually withdrew their troops. Isn’t this harmful?”
Did Zhou withdraw his troops?
Liang Huan and Gao Qian looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then simply pulled the hem of their clothes when they stood up.
The people at the same table with the man also shook their heads and sighed: "I am the same..."
A few people sat around with their heads hanging down.
The boss just brought herbal tea, and while putting it on the table, he shook his head and sighed.
"Didn't they suddenly withdraw their troops the year before last, and what kind of agreement was signed? We don't understand. We don't want to come back just after the Chinese New Year this year. Don't think they are going to stop fighting now, but who knows when they will come again. We should sell them earlier. Whether it’s a house or a field, no one can say what will happen tomorrow. What else is more important than life these days!”
A few people sighed and felt better after thinking about it.
As soon as they finished speaking, the messenger suddenly took over: "There won't be any calls for a while."
Suddenly, everyone looked at He came over and looked at the speaker carefully.
“Two gentlemen, are you telling the truth?”
The messenger raised his eyelids and looked around. Seeing that the people in the tea shed were looking over curiously, he boldly said.
"You don't know something. The state of Zhou is in mourning and the king of Zhou is gone!"
Everyone was surprised.
The post envoy said: "The new king is busy dealing with internal affairs, so how can he have time to fight with us again!"
Yu Wenhui is dead? Why did he die?
Liang Huan felt chills all over. That Yu Wenjue was in charge of military and political affairs...didn't he become the Grand Master Lu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty?
