Chapter 253 Su County
"General Chengping? Did you know about it before?"

In the guest room of the inn, Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren had a meal and chatted about the border affairs.

Li Mingren: "I didn't know about it. I only know that he is the younger brother of Concubine Hui in the palace. Brother Hanwen didn't mention much about the harem before."

Zhao Yunlan: "Maybe it's because the capital city is too stable, or maybe this Concubine Hui is patient..." Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Yunlan fell into the drama of Gongdou that she had seen, thinking A few days ago, the old emperor fell ill, and the crown prince was about to ascend the throne. Perhaps this Concubine Hui couldn't take it anymore, so she asked the brothers at the border to make trouble...

"Yunlan, Yunlan." Li Mingren yelled twice before Zhao Yunlan came back to her senses and asked:
"what happened?"

"Look at your bowl, you've scratched the rice all over the place, what are you thinking about?"

Zhao Yunlan chuckled: "No, I didn't think about anything, I'm full."

Li Mingren looked over with suspicious eyes, Zhao Yunlan was a little embarrassed, thought for a while and said: "Didn't Bachelor Zhou Hanlin arrange two hidden guards? Let them take the letter back and ask about the situation!"

"That's right, if my lady didn't tell me, I almost forgot about the secret guard."

Zhao Yunlan: "Do you know how to find them?"

Li Mingren smiled, and said something in Zhao Yunlan's ear, and after Zhao Yunlan heard it, he felt speechless for a while.

"Okay, you can do this yourself! What about the villagers in Shitou Village? You asked the magistrate, but there was no result."

Li Mingren sighed helplessly, "I can't do anything about it. The prefect Zhou said it's just to let them arrest people to vent their anger! I'd better send a letter to Village Chief Shi, saying that my ability is limited, and I will send some money past as compensation."

Zhao Yunlan shook her head: "There is no need for money. We didn't give money at the beginning, and it would be inappropriate to give it now. Instead, it will become someone else's trick."

"Well, let's do that."

"Then you go and do it quickly. I'm going to bed. Don't disturb me when you come back."

Li Mingren: "Are you sleepy so early?"

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "It's easy to get sleepy after eating a full meal. It's better to go to bed early, and then I have to go on a journey. I have to lie down on the bed."

"Okay, then you rest first, I will be quiet when I come back from work."

……

The next day, Li Mingren got up early, while Zhao Yunlan was still lying down.

"Yunlan, we're getting up soon, we can hurry after we have dinner."

Zhao Yunlan opened her eyes in a daze, and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's time."

"Ah, why didn't you call me earlier? It's so late, and it takes a lot of time, and I won't be able to make it to the city by then."

Li Mingren said with a helpless smile: "I have already called my lady, but she is very sound asleep."

"Huh? All right, it's my problem." Zhao Yunlan got out of bed and had a quick meal, and the group set off.

On the way, Li Mingren talked about the next journey.

"Next, we will be able to reach the boundary of Youzhou in about five days' journey. We probably won't be able to meet the village in the past few days. Zhou Zhifu said that Cangzhou City is sparsely populated when going north."

Zhao Yunlan nodded her head and knocked on the carriage, Li Mingren realized that Zhao Yunlan had fallen asleep.He had no choice but to hug Zhao Yunlan to lean against him, with mattresses all around, so that Zhao Yunlan could feel more comfortable.

Zhao Yunlan didn't wake up until the car was parked.The neck is a little stiff.

"I fell asleep again." Zhao Yunlan said while twisting her neck gently.

Li Mingren: "That's right. I've been dozing off more and more in the past two days."

Zhao Yunlan: "Maybe it's because I was too tired from the journey some time ago, and I just wanted to sleep in the past two days. Besides, the road to the north is quite flat, so it's much easier to sit in a carriage."

Li Mingren nodded, that's true, the journey from Cangzhou is indeed easier.

"We'll have a rest here tonight, and we'll be on our way early tomorrow. It's getting colder as we go north. We need to light more fires at night."

"It's a bit cold. It seems that we are going to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival on the road."

"Well, yes." Li Mingren only felt sorry for Zhao Yunlan, just as he reached out to hug the person beside him, he was pushed away by an arm.

"I went down and walked around. I stayed in the carriage all day, and my legs were numb."

"Okay, I'll accompany you down."

The couple got out of the carriage and did not dare to go far. They walked back and forth within the area illuminated by the fire and returned to the crowd.

"Li Hua, we still send someone to guard at night, everyone in the wilderness should pay more attention."

"Yes, sir."

Beside the small pot on the other side, He Hua cooked the rice.In fact, it is just a meal of soup, rice balls and biscuits that were prepared at the inn before.

"Master, madam, it's time for dinner."

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, let's eat."

There was a lot of movement in the group, but fortunately there was no one around here.It's just that the two hiding in the dark ate dry pancakes and kept swallowing.

On the second day Maoshi continued on the road, and for the next few days, Zhao Yunlan was always sleepy.Li Mingren was worried about whether Zhao Yunlan was sick, but every time Zhao Yunlan woke up, he looked alive again.

"Master, Su County is ahead." Li Hua reported to Li Mingren.

"Well, let's go to the city, I can finally sleep well."

"Where is the magistrate of Shiyang County to meet us?" Zhao Yunlan asked.

Li Mingren: "It should be waiting for me to go to Youzhou Prefecture to apply for the paperwork, then I have to meet us in Changhe County."

"Are we going to do the paperwork first?"

"Well, didn't I tell you a few days ago?"

"Ah, maybe I didn't hear it."

Li Mingren was a little worried: "Yunlan, let's go to a doctor to take a look when we enter the city later."

Zhao Yunlan shook her head: "I'm fine, it's just that I've consumed too much traveling recently, and I need to rest more, but don't make trouble for nothing, it's more important for us to hurry."

Li Mingren wanted to say that it wasn't too late, but Zhao Yunlan silenced him: "It's long-winded."

Being kissed suddenly, Li Mingren was still a little at a loss, and smiled instead.

Chunxiang next to her was a little embarrassed, so she had to turn her head outside.

"Okay, let's find an inn." Zhao Yunlan was talking, when she opened the curtain and saw a posthouse, she turned her head and asked, "Why didn't we stay at any posthouse all the way?"

Li Mingren glanced at the dilapidated inn outside, and said, "Just look at the decoration outside, are you willing to live there?"

"Are all the post stations so broken along the way?" Zhao Yunlan was a little puzzled.

"Well, it's like this all the way from the north. Don't get entangled, let's find an inn to stay."

"Well, there are too few people in Su County." Zhao Yunlan looked at the people on the street as nothing.

Li Mingren: "Suxian is the lower county of Youzhou. There are few people, so it's not so prosperous. It will be fine when we arrive in Youzhou City."

"What about Shiyang County?"

Li Mingren was a little embarrassed: "Hey, in the hands of County Magistrate Lu, it is already a middle-lower county."

"Zhongxia County? What is the rating?" Zhao Yunlan asked with a smile.

"It is barely rated as Zhong County, but it is still far behind other Zhong counties."

Zhao Yunlan curled her lips, thinking in her heart how many thorns Li Mingren had to step on to get to that road!
