Chapter 361 He can also help cover up
"After sending you a thousand miles, we must finally say goodbye. I am deeply grateful for the care you have given me these past few days, Lord Ruan and Little Lord Ruan. I don't know how to repay you. Please accept my three bows!"
"Mr. Li, please don't be polite."
Ruan Weizhi extended his hand to support him, sparing him the three bows. He looked up at the sky and said kindly, "It's getting late. My dear nephew, please set off early to avoid any inconvenience along the way. Let's get into the city early and settle down quickly. There's still a lot of time to come."
"That's right." Ruan Peining said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Shaoqing also smiled and bowed to the two of them again, "Then I'll go first. Take care of yourselves, and we'll see each other again someday!"
Ruan Weizhi nodded.
He instructed his son, "Have you prepared everything for Lord Li?"
"Everything is ready, don't worry, father!"
"That's good." Ruan Weizhi felt relieved.
After Li Shaoqing entered the carriage, Ruan Peining stepped forward and gave the coachman some small change, and reminded him, "Remember to take good care of him on the road."
"Don't worry, Master!"
"Let's go. Don't rush in the dark."
"drive!"
The coachman flicked his whip, the horses galloped, and the wheels rolled. The Ruan family father and son stood at the foot of the city gate and watched Li Shaoqing's carriage disappear before they turned around and got on the carriage to return home.
The carriage was shaking. Li Shaoqing looked down at the letter left by his mentor in his hand and remained silent for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, he lifted the car curtain and looked out.
It was already dark outside the car, and the surroundings were remote. The suburban trees were rapidly receding, and there was no one in sight on the official road.
From today on, I will travel thousands of miles to the north, and I don’t know what I will encounter along the way.
The letter from his mentor Wang Yu was full of words of concern for him, and he also left a few names for him. The teacher's care and concern warmed his heart.
Li Shaoqing closed the letter, folded it carefully, and put it in the envelope.
He looked up and asked, "Don't go any further after nightfall. Let's first find a village house on the roadside and see if we can stay there."
"Okay, Master Li!"
Li Shaoqing was stunned when he heard this. After a moment of hesitation, he said in a gentle voice, "Now, I am no longer an official appointed by the Daliang court. You don't have to change my lord."
"Okay, I'll do as you say, sir." The groom was a straightforward man. He cracked his whip and asked with a smile, "How about I call you Sir from now on?"
Li Shaoqing was young, and when he suddenly heard someone call him "Sir", he felt that he was not qualified. The groom outside was also a smart man. Seeing that Li Shaoqing did not react much after he finished speaking, he said again: "Then I will call you Master. You are a handsome man, and I will definitely need your care on the road in the future."
Li Shaoqing smiled slightly and said, "I'm the one who needs your help."
"Oh, it's my pleasure! From now on, I belong to you, sir. If you need anything, just tell me what you want."
"good."
After the master and servant finished chatting with each other, they ran towards Li Shaoqing's fate in the cold wind in winter.
The North, a place with an unpredictable fate for him.
Li Shaoqing thought that maybe it was right to go with the flow.
In cold weather.
A carriage with people on it was heading north.
Some people, looking towards the north, wandered around and finally arrived at where they should go.
At the last moment before the city gate, Xu Su and a group of people finally returned to his own territory, Dengzhou Prefecture, exhausted.
The carriage carrying Chu Lingyuan stopped outside the side door of the Xu family. Because someone had been sent back to the mansion to report the news before returning, when Xu Su came back, the housekeeper of the mansion had already arranged to pick him up.
Chu Lingyuan got out of the car dressed in men's clothes and was not conspicuous.
With Xu Su's instructions in advance, Butler Xu was very respectful to Chu Lingyuan. He didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest towards the person who was personally escorted by the old master.
Xu Su whispered to the housekeeper: Female relatives.
Butler Xu immediately understood what he meant and hurriedly arranged for the maids to take people there to settle down first.
Xu Su's journey was very tiring, especially when he had to offer sacrifices to a large Buddha statue on the road. Although his body did not seem to be too tired, his mind was repeatedly traumatized.
Now, I am back in my own house and feel very relaxed.
However, as soon as he got home, someone from the Zhai Mansion came to deliver a letter, asking him to go to Lord Zhai.
After Xu Su finished his preparations, he went back to wash his face, changed into clean clothes, and planned to go meet the inspector Zhai Mo.
The housekeeper escorted him out the door, saying as they walked, "Young Master, a few days ago, Young Master Han sent over quite a few things. They all looked quite valuable. I've packed them up for you and will be waiting for you to come back tonight to take a look."
"Okay, now that you've sorted everything out, go back and look at what's important. Just show it to me. As for the unimportant things, you can handle them yourself."
"Yes, Master."
As they talked, they walked to the door.
Because Xu Su had just returned and was about to leave, the housekeeper asked, "Master, how are we taking care of that young lady?"
"Just listen to her. If she has no ideas, there's no need to bother her."
After receiving the instructions from his young master, the butler finally understood what was going on.
Xu Su went out and got in the car to meet Zhai Mo.
When I sent someone back in advance, I had already sent someone to notify Zhai Mo.
Zhai Mo did not leave and waited in the mansion for the young master of the Xu family to arrive.
He was surprised when Xu Su strode in.
He quickly stood up and came over, looking Xu Su up and down: "Are you really feeling better now?"
When someone from the Xu family came to report the news, he asked a few more questions, thinking that the servants were exaggerating. Unexpectedly, Xu Su himself was standing in front of him, and he looked no different from a healthy person.
He was naturally happy when he saw his men getting better.
Xu Su said with a smile: "Thanks to you, sir! I, Xu Su, am fine now!"
“Okay, okay, okay!”
Zhai Mo said hello three times and happily pulled Xu Su to sit in the hall.
Xu Su had been gone for many days, and he had a lot of things he wanted to talk to him about.
Xu Su felt that he was in good health now, so as soon as he came back, he asked if there was anything in Dengzhou Prefecture that needed his help.
He was a patient who had just recovered, so Zhai Mo didn't need him to do any work as soon as he came back.
"There's no rush for work. There are so many things to do, it's impossible to finish them all in a short time. But you, why don't you tell me about your situation first?"
At the beginning, Xu Su came to him without saying a word to inform him that he had important matters to attend to and had to lead his troops away from Dengzhou Prefecture, which was against the rules. However, seeing that he looked anxious, he did not ask anything and just let him go and do his job quickly.
No matter what happens, with him in Dengzhou, nothing will happen in a short time.
However, not long after Xu Su left Dengzhou, something happened.
The Xu family sent a letter saying that he was seriously injured and could not return to Dengzhou.
Although the letter was very vague, Zhai Mo could see the seriousness of the problem from the lines at a glance.
Reply immediately, he will take care of everything in Dengzhou.
Since Xu Su was away, those things fell on him. Fortunately, there were not many trivial matters in Dengzhou during this period, so he could help cover up some of them.
But later I heard that his condition had improved and he was on his way home.
Zhai Mo always felt that something was wrong.
So he asked with concern: "Are you really feeling better?"
At this time, Xu Su did not hide it from Zhai Mo, smiled and nodded:
"Thanks to the gods, I'm back alive!"
