When Ji Sheng learned that Kang Jingyu had taken people away, he thought that he was finally obedient for once.
Then, he saw the letter Kang Jingyu left for him before leaving in his big tent.
My brother Xuanjun:
Your brother will persuade your sister-in-law to return home on your behalf.
No thanks.
Ji Sheng: "..."
He knew there was no way this kid could go home honestly.
…
Zhou Yunshu didn't know that Ji Sheng sent people to Luzhou, and it was even more impossible for her to know that someone rushed all the way from the north to Luzhou for her.
However, even if Zhou Yunshu knew about it, she would not delay her affairs.
After having a hearty meal last night, Zhou Yunshu hugged her fragrant and soft daughter and slept until she woke up naturally. Zhou Yunshu was so comfortable that she didn't want to get up.
Of course, this is just a thought, they still have a lot to do.
After breakfast, only Mr. Xue, Uncle He and Hu Zi were left in the yard. The rest followed Zhou Yunshu and Wu Gui into the street.
Yesterday they just had a quick stroll, and today they planned to take the children to have fun in Fucheng, Luzhou.
Zhou Yunshu and Wu Gui walked in front, holding Xixi and Yuan Ruo respectively. Behind them, Li Jialan held Yuan Li, Fang Huiwen held Yuan Yi, and Wu Yue held An Sheng. Not a single child was left behind.
Chunque and Feng Xujie followed behind them.
It's been a long time since the kids went out shopping so easily, and everything they saw was novel.
Zhou Yunshu and the others also felt sorry for the suffering of the little ones in the family who were constantly running away from home, so they tried their best to satisfy them no matter what they wanted.
Not long after they came out, every child had a candied haws in their hand, and they didn't miss anyone selling candy paintings.
Paper kites, cloth tigers, Cuju, Kong Mingsuo, slingshots, straw crickets, etc. were all arranged. If the children couldn't hold them, they handed them to Chunque and Liang Laosan behind them. Even Zhou Yunshu and Wu Gui took them. learned a lot.
Luo Xiaoshan took a bite of the candied haws in his hand and wanted to help, but with the candied haws and sugar paintings in one hand and the steaming sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the other, he couldn't spare any time.
The children had a lot of fun in the morning, and even Ansheng had a smile on his face.
At noon, Zhou Yunshu and Wu Gui took everyone to the restaurant recommended by the manager of Yunlai Inn. They directly booked a large private room and had another delicious meal with the children.
After lunch, they headed back home. Xixi and Yuanruo were still young and needed a lunch break at noon.
After Zhou Yunshu and Wu Gui dropped off the children, they left the yard with Liang Laosan and Feng Xujie.
They drove a carriage to the most popular teahouse in the city, found a table and listened to the storyteller downstairs while listening to the gossip of the people around them.
There is no way, who makes a place like the teahouse the most well-informed, and this teahouse did not disappoint Zhou Yunshu and others.
First, there was the war in the north. It is said that after Wei Wang Jisheng rushed to the battlefield in Youzhou, the war situation turned around, and the Zhou Dynasty finally began to win one after another.
Then there is news about the plague and the war in the northwest.
Because the plague in the northwest was too serious, and the infection did not distinguish between races, the war finally stopped due to the plague, and Tubo retreated to its home base. There were almost no deaths in Yizhou and Xizhou.
Then there was the follow-up to the murder of victims that Zhou Yunshu had heard in Hengyang before. Although the interception and killing of victims spared the capital and nearby areas, it actually aroused public outrage.
Among them, a refugee named Chen Fangping from the northwest rose up in rebellion.
Originally, the local officials did not take this man like Chen Fangping seriously. After all, there were too many refugees. They were not well fed, clothed, warm, and strong. How could such a person fight with the imperial court?
But this group of people not only robbed a county town along the way, but also quickly occupied most of Yanzhou in less than a month in a manner that could start a prairie fire.
Chen Fangping's success was like a slap in the face of the court and the emperor.
Compared with the invasion of foreigners, the emperor and the court could not accept that a country man actually defeated the government, drove back the garrison, and even said that he was the destiny.
There is a reason why Chen Fangping dares to promote it like this.
It is said that they once encountered a white python on the way to escape. After seeing Chen Fangping, the white python straightened up and knelt before Chen Fangping, recognizing him as its master. From then on, there were rumors that Chen Fangping was destined to die.
The four words "Destiny" directly touched the emperor's objection. The emperor ordered King Qi to lead troops to suppress the bandits, and Chen Fangping's head must be obtained.
Yes, the emperor did not admit those rumors at all, and directly blamed Chen Fangping on the head of an ignorant gangster.
In order for King Qi to succeed in one fell swoop, the emperor also cut off the court's supply to the northern army.
In other words, if the Eastern Turks and Tiele tribes come back again, Ji Sheng and other generals who are currently guarding the northern border will have to rely on themselves to survive.
Most of the people in the northern border have fled long ago. Not to mention military service, there are not even a few grains and grass in sight.
Zhou Yunshu couldn't help but laugh sarcastically when she heard the news. According to the dog emperor's tossing method, it is estimated that the Great Zhou Dynasty will be finished in less than ten years.
The last and more important news I heard at the teahouse was that there was a huge commotion in Wolong Mountain on the day of the birthday party of Our Lady of the Red Lotus.
I heard that bandits came to the mountain to commit murder. Not only did they kill many people from the Red Lotus Sect, but many people who went to celebrate the birthday of Our Lady of the Red Lotus were killed by the bandits.
When Zhou Yunshu first heard about it, she thought it was one of her own people, but the more she heard, the more something was wrong. It was obvious that other forces were involved.
But think about it, the Red Lotus Virgin holding the account book and strangling the family's neck so openly is no different from seeking death.
I just don’t know what happened to Yang Yuhao and Zhou Yunjia who were also on the mountain at that time.
"Who is so bold as to dare to touch the princess's wife?"
"Who knows, what the Red Lotus did this year is so eye-catching, maybe it blocked someone's way."
When they said this, there was a sudden noise outside the building.
Zhou Yunshu's table was right next to the window, and he could see the scene outside the teahouse from the side.
I saw a team suddenly appeared on the broad street.
Call this team flamboyant. They walked very slowly and paid great attention to their surroundings. They did not do anything to hurt anyone. Call it unflashy. Each of them was a tall horse and each wore a red robe. In the middle of the procession was a carriage drawn by three horses.
"Hey, this Holy Mother of Red Lotus has only been away from Fucheng for a long time, and she came back so early."
Someone said: "Didn't you hear what the neighbor at the table said just now? The home of Our Lady of the Red Lotus was burned down, and she was not allowed to come back and hold her thigh to complain!"
"Keep your voice down, this is Fucheng, and Our Lady of the Red Lotus is the guest of Princess Yuyang and Master Yang!"
"Hmph." Although the man calmed down his expression, he still cursed in a low voice: "Witch."
When Wu Gui saw that the team passing by downstairs were members of the Red Lotus Sect, she subconsciously withdrew her gaze and lowered her head, for fear of being recognized.
Only Zhou Yunshu looked downstairs intently.
Next to the carriage, in addition to the strong man named Ma who was seen in the inner treasury before, there was also Zheng Qianshi, but Sun Chengyang and the Qianshi surnamed Zhao were missing.
Zhou Yunshu looked carefully at the Red Lotus Envoy's convoy downstairs. When the entire convoy left in front of her, she did not see the shadow of Zhou Yunjia and Yang Yuhao.
Did they go back to Fucheng to Yang's house a long time ago, or was there something really unexpected?
