Chapter 172 Escape

Li Ran and his group rushed to the road, only resting for an hour or two when they were very tired.

Everyone was walking very quickly, and at noon on the fourth day, they left the Minzhou territory.

In the evening, when I arrived in Maoji Town, Hong Min took everyone into a cart shop.

Like the place where I rested and made a big fuss, the shopkeeper and the guy in this big car shop are all acquaintances with Hong Min.

"Uncle Hong is here!"

The shopkeeper warmly greeted Hong Min, while talking nonstop while giving in.

"Uncle Hong is earlier this year than in previous years. I heard that the fight in Licheng area started? Are your family okay? That's fine, please invite Uncle Hong, please invite this guy."

The shopkeeper let Hong Min and An Xiaorui enter the house. Li Ran, Zhou E and others, like before, squeezed among the crowd and went to the large shed next to the horses and porters to rest.

Zhou E shook her arms and looked very comfortable, but her steps were very fast. She entered the shed first, ran to the other side, turned around and looked around, turned around, raised her chin at Wang Cui, Shen Mai and others, indicating that she could come in.

At this moment, in the cart shop, except for a few porters and credentials, there are only one horse gang.

Zhou E looked at the other side again, returned to the shed, and said to Wang Cui and others: "I have escaped now, but even now, if something happens most, I am more alert. If you don't copy it in your hands, you have to copy it. As for horses, you will untie all the goods, and put on the saddle on the horse's back. You have to be ready to run and beat at any time."

Wang Cui and others responded quietly and prepared separately.

Li Ran sat on a small stool next to him. No matter how Zhou E arranged it, Tao Nong went into the shed and first found a big bowl of hot water, poured half a bowl of hot water to Li Ran.

In a row of main halls in the car shop, the shopkeeper asked Hong Min and An Xiaorui to sit down, and he also sat next to Hong Min, talking nonsense.

"...I'm afraid I know the letter from the court that wants to raise troops there, but I'm afraid I know much earlier than you. First, an old guest from Jinghu, which was just after the first month of the year, and that old guest came to me.

The old guest said that since last autumn, he had watched the imperial soldiers come and go, but they were not local soldiers. Their government office was so busy that they kicked the back of their heads. He felt something was wrong, thinking that it must be a war.

Speaking of which, the imperial court over there could not accommodate Shu all the time. This battle will definitely be fought early and late.

The old guest said that he thought that there were still many accounts in the north, and that the goods he collected in spring and summer would be sent here, and he would be able to lose everything inside and outside. He set off on the third day of the New Year and arrived at me just after the first month of the year.

What a smart man. At the beginning of last month, the goods were sold, and the money was almost done. Now it must have arrived. You just said that the fight has just started. Look at this old customer, I see that he can make a fortune in the future.

Next was the big butler of the Japanese army. He went to Minzhou City to buy things and passed by me and told me not to do business. He quickly closed the door and went back to his hometown. He said he was going to fight, but I was afraid that there would be no peace here.

He said that he had to go to war after buying this trip."

The guy brought the teapot and tea bowl over, and the shopkeeper took it over, pouring tea for Hong Min and An Xiaorui, while talking nonstop.

"What hometown should I go back to? This is my hometown, where can I go back to it?

My big car shop has been open for four or five generations. It was a mess a few years ago and it has never been closed. Oh, what should I eat after I closed it? Not only in my family, but also in them."

The shopkeeper pointed at the guy who was carrying the water in.

"Doctors of people all have family members. Oh, let's not talk about this anymore, no matter how difficult it is, it is even more difficult when you are young.

You came here at a bad time. You didn’t catch up with the morning, and you just didn’t answer now.

The Japanese army said that it had left, and there were still several stores, but they hadn't seen them for half a month. I heard that they had left, and you are not easy to sell. Several shops in the town have not opened their doors since the New Year!

Why did you come at this time? I thought you must wait for the battle to be over. You are a smart person. That old guest in Jinghu is not as good as you. Are you having something to do?"

The shopkeeper leaned forward and looked at Hong Min and asked.

An Xiaorui raised his eyebrows.

"It's something. My old man, you know that he is determined to save the world and save people. He said he is going to fight, but he is afraid that more poor people who can't afford to see a doctor will grow up, so he urged me to go there and exchange these tea bricks for some medicine."

"Your old man is really merciful, but...

It's late tonight, tomorrow morning, why don't I go there with you to search there to see if I can find the Japanese and Lianmen troops. Maybe I haven't walked away. If you are not in a hurry, let's go away..."

"No need." Hong Min sighed, "To be honest, I regret it halfway through it.

I originally thought that this battle would start to be a big fight, and no matter how long it would be until the end of the month, who knows…”

"Ah? It's already a big fight?" The shopkeeper's eyes widened.

"It's all these days." Hong Min sighed again, "Ship Qi's mansion is in Licheng. How close is Licheng to my house?

Halfway through the way, I felt anxious, but since I came out, alas, we have known each other for more than ten or twenty years. This time, I would like to ask you for a favor."

"You said you, just say it!" The shopkeeper agreed.

"I want to put this product here. I don't know when I will come next time. You can watch this product for me and sell it. It's okay. After selling the money, I will collect it with you first and wait for me to come down..."

Hong Min choked up and said for a moment, with a smile on her face, "If you can't come, you can give me the money, and you can give me any charity."

"Look at what you said, oh! Where are these words? Charity people like you and your old man will be blessed by gods and ghosts!

I'll wait for you next year! I'll be able to wait for you, and even you, you, will be able to sell for a good price!"

Every word from the shopkeeper was strongly increasing his tone, as if the heavier the tone, the more effective the words were.

"I'll ask you to be a wise man." Hong Min smiled and bowed. "Since that's the case, I'll let them unload the goods. Please prepare some dry food for us. We will set off for the day tomorrow. You know, in my heart...ah, I feel like returning home."

"I understand, I understand! Don't worry, sit down, I will get you a key first, and the goods will be piled up at the east end of the room, which is exactly empty.

I have to go to the kitchen myself and have to give a few more words. I remember Mr. Hong likes to eat our salty mutton braised with our Dangtou, so let Dangtou hurry up. It will be good to braised tonight, and I will bring you with you tomorrow. Let Dangtou add a few more handfuls of salt. It’s hot this day, so you have to be salty together. You can sit down."

The shopkeeper said as he stood up, and Hong Min also stood up, smiled and bowed to the shopkeeper, leaving the house with An Xiaorui one after another. Hong Min walked a few steps, stood in the middle of the yard, signaling An Xiaorui, "Go and say something, the wing room at the east end of the world pile will set off tomorrow at dawn."

Hong Min said, handing the key to An Xiaorui.

An Xiaorui took the key, walked and ran towards the shed.

The next day, before dawn, Hong Min resigned from the shopkeeper, and rode his horse back with the crowd. It was far away from the town. Zhou E stopped the horse. Looking at Hong Min, who was also stopped, he remained silent for a moment, jumped off the horse, walked to Hong Min, and bowed to the end.

"My kindness sir..."

"It's not worth it." Hong Min waved his hand and interrupted Zhou E's words, looking at Li Ran, "Just leave now. I hope the girl will be safe and safe from now on, and will be safe and happy, and will have a smooth life."

Hong Min said, immediately bowing to Li Ran.

"Thank you, Mr. Hong, for me." Li Ran bowed back.

Hong Min's face was slightly stiff.

Zhou E took a step forward, grabbed Hong Min's reins, looked up at him and said, "Let's follow us.

We discussed yesterday, and walked north and turned east, and then entered the imperial court. Your old man asked you to come, but he didn't say that he would follow the girl.

Come with us, the Hong family always has to leave one."

Li Ran was stunned for a moment, her face pale, and she looked straight at Hong Min.

She didn't expect it!

The Hong family is afraid that there will be more misfortunes.

"My third brother will travel with his little family and must be safe and sound. It's enough to have him. At home, father and others, you have to have a personal meal. Thank you, let's leave now."

Although Hong Min's tone was light, she was extremely determined. She bent down and pulled out the reins from Zhou E's hand, shook them hard, and drove away on her horse.

"How could such a king and such a minister be destroyed?"

An Xiaorui looked at Hong Min's figure getting farther and farther away, sighed deeply, and said with emotion.

"That's because, from Renzong to the top three generations, or even four or five generations, there is no one who is not confused. Let's go quickly, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time."
