King of Song

Chapter 91
The Lantern Festival is over, and the New Year holiday is over!

The emperor's edict had arrived, and Lin Zhao had to go to Hangzhou to take up his post. The Meng family inevitably felt a little sad.

Gu Qi has always disapproved of his nephew getting too involved in official careers, but the emperor's edict has been issued, he cannot resist the edict, he must act according to it.

Although officials in the Song Dynasty had the habit of being modest, many of them refused to be conferred an official position.When the imperial court transferred Wang Anshi to Beijing to serve in the pavilion, he resigned for various reasons but refused.Song Shenzong appointed Sima Guang as a Hanlin scholar, and he also submitted letters many times in a row, but he refused to accept it.

However, they are all important officials, and it is humility to resign because they think they are not capable enough.But a small promotion to the city bureau, if you don't accept it, it's stealing and playing tricks, and it's shameless.

The saddest ones are Meng Ruoying and Gu Yuelun. Lin Zhao went to Hangzhou, but the two of them had to go back to Bianjing to take charge of Jiangnanju's business.It is inevitable to be a little sad to separate the two places!
Especially Gu Yuelun, who is younger, has a more pure mind, and is more dependent on his cousin, his small eyes are a little red and swollen, so pitiful!

Lin Zhao comforted: "It's okay, I will write to Wang Yuanze, Cao Jian and the others to take care of you, and Jiangnanju's business is on the right track, don't worry..."

"Yuelun, when Bianjing is done, we can consider going to Hangzhou and opening a branch by the West Lake!" Meng Ruoying came up with a solution, which was her own wish besides comforting Gu Yuelun.

"Really?" Gu Yuelun was suddenly excited!

"That's natural!" Lin Zhao agreed, but smiled inwardly, how long can he stay in Hangzhou?Next time I'm transferred to another place, wouldn't Jiangnanju need another branch?
"Cousin, take good care of yourself in Hangzhou!" Gu Yuelun did not forget to remind her!
"Don't worry, I'm fine!" It's good to feel that someone cares.

That being said, Lin Zhao also had troubles. He went to Hangzhou alone without a helper around him!I don't know how the situation in Hangzhou is, whether it will be very difficult... Sigh!

Fortunately, there is no need to worry about life, the Meng family has business in Hangzhou, Meng Ruoying has already made arrangements, and there will naturally be someone to take care of everything.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Lin Zhao set off for Hangzhou, and Meng Ruoying and Gu Yuelun also set off for Bianjing.There are a few more old people left in the family, but this time there are two more children, Yan Gu and Gu Dongping... Lin Zhao couldn't help but sigh, there were also problems of left-behind children and empty-nest old people in ancient times... When will I be able to settle down and take my uncle's family to my side? it's good...

Gu Qi was depressed again, and sent off his nephew and daughter with full of concern, and did not forget to give instructions repeatedly before leaving.She doesn't worry about her daughter, Meng Ruoying will take good care of her, the key is her nephew, and she doesn't know what twists and turns will happen when she goes to Hangzhou... This child is really worrying...

From Jiangning to Hangzhou, take the waterway through Zhenjiang, and go straight to Hangzhou along the Jiangnan section of the canal, which is very convenient.But it's too roundabout and time-consuming.The distance itself is not too far, let alone with the white dragon in hand, it is not too troublesome to ride the horse to go there.

Since it is by land, it is natural to choose the most convenient road.Lin Zhao went directly south from Jiangning, took the line of Liyang, Yixing, and Huzhou, and went south to Hangzhou.

The Jiangnan water town more than 900 years ago has not undergone too much destruction and pollution, and has remained relatively primitive and natural. The scenery is fresh and pleasant, and it is more agile and charming than later generations.

Green mountains and green waters, rippling lake water, clear water and blue sky, small bridges and flowing water.On the plains outside the town, rivers and lakes are densely covered, and large tracts of fertile fields will be cultivated after the beginning of spring. In autumn, the rice fields are endless and the mulberry forests are lush.

The land in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile, warm and humid, a land of absolute prosperity, a land of fish and rice.In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a saying that Suhu was cooked and the world was full.A large amount of money and food produced will be transported northward through the river, which is closely related to the rise and fall of the empire...

Along the way, Lin Zhao has seen the prosperity of the Song Dynasty better, as well as the local customs and customs, and fell in love with this era even more deeply...

After passing Huzhou this day, I galloped south, and saw that Hangzhou was already in sight.Although it was getting late, Lin Zhao didn't want to delay any longer, and went all out to take shortcuts, hoping to enter Hangzhou City before dark.

In many cases, accidents are easy to happen when you are in a hurry!

After noon, the sky was getting late, when passing through a forest, someone jumped out suddenly and blocked the way.

These people are all holding whistle sticks, and they are all fierce and vicious. They don't look like good people at first glance!

Highway robbery?

You must know that the Song Dynasty had strict restrictions on weapons, and private possession and use of weapons were not allowed among the people.In this era, there will be no legendary stories about scholars or rangers traveling with swords...

Therefore, the most common weapon among the people is the whistle stick, which is very common in the Water Margin.In name, imitating Emperor Taizu to beat the world with an eyebrow-level stick, but in fact he was forced to do nothing.

After being reborn for more than half a year, Lin Zhao still has this common sense.When it was getting dark, a few vicious men appeared and blocked the way with whistle sticks, what good would it do?
Lin Zhao felt that he had somewhat overestimated the security situation in the Song Dynasty. Life in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty was considered stable and prosperous, and Jiangnan was a land of fish and rice. In "broad daylight", there will be bandits robbing the road?What an adventure!

"What are you doing?"

Lin Zhao will not be stingy if he can save money and avoid disaster, it would be best not to do anything.In his previous life, Lin Zhao was a nerd with a weak body. After more than half a year of rebirth, he kept exercising, and his physique became stronger and stronger.

Although I have learned some martial arts from Su An, I am still not proficient in them.There are seven or eight people on the opposite side, I don't know how deep they are, let alone they are holding whistle sticks, and I am unarmed, obviously I will suffer.It would be best if money could be used to solve the problem. The gangsters who robbed houses were just for money!

If it doesn't work, then only 36 counts can be used.Lin Zhao began to observe the terrain and roads. As long as he found a road, it would not be a problem to quickly get out of danger with the white dragon's steed.

There is a river on one side and a hillside on the other. The location is well chosen. It seems that these gangsters are very smart!

Lin Zhao wanted to turn the horse's head, but as soon as he moved, he found several people appeared behind him, and his retreat was blocked.

What are these people trying to do?
Lin Zhao suddenly discovered that these people seemed not only to rob Dao, but also seemed to have another purpose...

Sure enough, without saying a word, a few people rushed up with whistle sticks...

Nima, this is life-threatening!Lin Zhao finally realized that the visitor was not kind!
Judging by the opponent's posture, these people's skills may not be weak. I am alone, and I am doomed to be outnumbered...

It so happened that it was getting dark again, and this section of the road was a bit deserted, with no pedestrians passing by...

Lin Zhao turned his attention and looked at the small hill on the left. To be precise, it should be just a hill...

The speed of the horse going uphill will inevitably decrease, but if he can get over before these people stop him, four hooves are better than two legs...

But the other party obviously thought of this, and the reaction speed was not weak at all. As soon as the white dragon moved, a person rushed over, and swung the long whistle stick towards the horse's hoof. Judging by the speed, it should be very powerful...

If he gets hit this time, Bailong's horse leg will be useless...

How could Lin Zhao's horse be injured, so he reined in the horse abruptly, jumped up to avoid the heavy blow...

But just at this moment, the chance of escape was lost, and the two big men rushed up the slope, blocked his way, and surrounded him in the middle.

Nima, this is to put people to death!

"Everyone, what do you want to do? Even if I die, I have to die to understand. Who appointed you?"

The result can be imagined, asking is useless, but I really wonder in my heart, who is going to deal with me?Offended a lot of people in Bianjing, but it hasn't reached the point of killing people for thousands of miles, right?
Could it be Chen Hong, he has motives, but he is from a family of officials, dare to fight against the imperial court officials so openly?What's more, as we all know, the two had conflicts by the Qinhuai River a few days ago. If something happened to him, he would be the first to be suspected... Although impulsiveness is a devil, he can't be so stupid, right?
I don't have time to think so much, the biggest crisis is approaching after rebirth, even surpassing the escape in Liao Kingdom...

At least for now, Lin Zhao doesn't see a chance of escape...

Is it really possible to die here?What a joke, the good old days have not had time to enjoy in the future, how can you just die like this?
It has to be said that Lin Zhao was very lucky. When his life was on the line twice, someone came to rescue him.At this critical moment, the sound of horseshoes sounded in the distance...

You must know that there was a shortage of horses in the Song Dynasty. How could ordinary people use horses?I heard a figure of a fast horse running on the road, could it be an ordinary person?
There is a chance, at least there is a chance!

Someone really came to rescue him, and what Lin Zhao never expected was that it was Su An, Su Bozhou.

The comrades-in-arms when I was sent to Liao and went to Dengzhou, I fought side by side, and my friendship was life-threatening!Coincidentally, he was the one who rushed to the rescue in time during the two critical moments.But shouldn't he be in Bianjing?Why did it suddenly appear here?
Su An is good at martial arts, and more importantly, he has weapons in his hands.He is a lieutenant of the Imperial Army and can wear a sword.

Just such a weapon can completely save lives at this time...

"Young master, let's go!"

Su An waved his long knife, and the gangster holding a whistle stick was naturally afraid. He hid back and was forced away in an instant... At this gap, a road was vacant...

Lin Zhao was very nervous, and without any hesitation, he whipped his horse quickly, and the two rushed over in an instant...

Although there are weapons in hand, after all, there is only Su An, who is hard to beat with two fists and four hands. He may not be the opponent of all the gangsters, so he dare not love to fight...

After the two rushed past, they rode their horses and galloped all the way. After running for twenty miles in a row, it was not until night fell that they finally felt safe...

"Mr. Lin, are you okay?" Su An asked softly when he stopped to rest.

Lin Zhao shook his head and said, "You came very timely, you're fine! By the way, why did you appear here?" This is the biggest doubt right now!

Of course, at the same time, I was also very curious, who exactly wanted to kill me?
