On the official road, a mighty team was marching.
Although it was called an official road, it was actually a muddy country road that could barely accommodate two carriages.
At this time, on the carriage in the middle of the team, Su Linglong ordered: "Let everyone take a break!"
The maid Xiao Cui quickly leaned out of the carriage and ordered everyone to stop and rest.
Huo Chenan was sitting in the carriage and his whole body was about to fall apart. He jumped off the carriage immediately after hearing that he could rest.
He suddenly felt uncomfortable in his stomach, so he went to the woods alone.
When the road was smooth, he suddenly heard voices coming from the dense forest ahead.
"Kong Renyu, you can't run away today.
Dare you come to Jinling to file a complaint?
You almost succeeded, kid.
It's useless to say more. Today will be your death anniversary next year."
"Go back and tell Kong Mo that I, Kong Renyu, will not let him go even if I become a ghost. He stole the things of the Kong family, and the ancestors of the Kong family will not forgive him."
Huo Chenan heard that the voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while. He quickly solved the problem and pulled up his pants to find out.
"You, a dying man, are not qualified to mention the name of Yanshenggong. From now on, the main household of the Kong family will be born from the current Yanshenggong, and the current Yanshenggong is the main household of the Kong family."
At this time, Huo Chenan opened the dense forest in front of him and saw that several people dressed as servants were surrounding a young man. The young man was none other than Zhang Renyu, who advanced to the semi-finals with Huo Chenan at the Jinling Poetry Conference.
But listening to the conversation between the two parties just now, it seems that he should be called Kong Renyu.
Huo Chenan pondered in his heart. It seemed that Kong Renyu went to the poetry meeting just to file a complaint with the emperor, but a "Huo Chenan" suddenly appeared halfway, causing him not to see the emperor.
Huo Chenan scratched his head awkwardly, as if he had delayed the other party's business, and he had drunk his wine on the day of the poetry meeting. It was reasonable to help him today.
With this in mind, Huo Chenan took out a flintlock rifle from his arms, aimed and shot in one go.
With a loud bang, a group of flying birds were startled in the forest. The leading servant fell down.
Deng Lingchong and Chu Xiaomei, who were resting in the distance, heard the noise and rushed towards Huo Chenan. Deng Lingchong shouted while running: "Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo."
"Mr. Huo" is the name of Huo Chenan by the Mohists.
The accident happened suddenly, and the other servants were leaderless and could only flee in a hurry.
Kong Renyu was also frightened by the loud noise just now, but he was relieved when he saw who was coming.
"Thank you, Brother Huo, for your help." Kong Renyu bowed to the bottom and said.
"Brother Kong, you are too polite." Huo Chenan said.
Kong Renyu was stunned, and then he knew that Huo Chenan had heard the conversation just now. He said frankly: "The right and wrong is a long story. It is better for Brother Huo not to know, so as not to be implicated."
Huo Chenan nodded, after all, he did not have the habit of prying into other people's privacy.
"Where are you going, Brother Huo?"
"I'm going south to Hangzhou."
"Unfortunately, I'm going north to Qingzhou. If we are going the same way, I will definitely have a drink with Brother Huo."
"It doesn't matter. Brother Kong can come to Jinling to find me when there is a chance. Maybe I will go to Qingzhou to ask for a drink after a while." Huo Chenan said.
"Okay, as long as Brother Huo comes, there will be enough wine."
At this time, Deng Lingchong and Chu Xiaomei came close to the two of them. Looking at the corpse on the ground and the two people who were talking happily, they both had black question marks on their faces.
Seeing that other people had arrived, Kong Renyu said to Huo Chenan: "Brother Huo, let's say goodbye here, take care."
Huo Chenan also said: "Take care."
Then Kong Renyu rode his horse northward.
After Kong Renyu left, looking at the questioning eyes of the crowd, Huo Chenan said: "A friend encountered some trouble."
Seeing that Huo Chenan was not going to say anything, everyone stopped asking.
...
In this way, everyone walked and stopped, and it took five days to reach Hangzhou City.
Hangzhou City was also built in a very grand manner. The prosperity of the city was not inferior to Jinling at all. There was an endless stream of pedestrians on the streets.
Huo Chenan had naturally been to Hangzhou in his previous life, but he had never seen Hangzhou in ancient times. At this time, he stretched his neck and looked around.
At this moment, a shout came: "Get out of the way, everyone get out of the way." Huo Chenan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a horse galloping on the street. The pedestrians on the street hurriedly dodged, and the street was immediately in chaos. On the horse was a heroic female general. Judging from the project, the woman was not very old, about the same age as Huo Chenan. She was wearing a silver armor and it was obvious that she was not ordinary. The woman's high ponytail swayed in the wind with the bumps of the horse. Her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, not only beautiful as a woman, but also with a bit of heroism. If it weren't for the armor, she would definitely be a beautiful woman. An old man dodged her horse and bumped into Huo Chenan's carriage. The woman on horseback didn't even apologize, and just galloped away. Huo Chenan couldn't help but frown. He stepped forward to help the old man who had fallen and asked, "Are you okay, uncle?"
"No, no, thank you, young man."
Huo Chenan then asked in confusion, "Isn't riding a horse in the city prohibited?"
The old man looked at Huo Chenan and said, "Young man, I can tell you're a foreigner. You don't even recognize the young princess."
"Not to mention the monarch, even the princess can't ride a horse in the street?" Huo Chenan said.
"Ah!" The old man sighed and said, "The little princess is actually a good person. This is also because of her recent marriage. The little princess is Lu Yingying, the daughter of the only king of a different surname in the dynasty, Pinghai Wang Lu Chengfeng. Prince Lu has no sons and only this daughter. Usually, the prince is extremely fond of the little princess, so the little princess behaves a little spoiled. Now, seeing that the little princess is about to turn 20, there is no suitable family yet, and the old prince is inevitably a little anxious. This is to choose a marriage for the little princess. The little princess is naturally unwilling, so she starts to ruin her family's reputation. Fighting and riding horses in the street have become commonplace these days. There are also rumors..." The old man paused here. He observed around and saw that no one was eavesdropping, so he continued: "There are also rumors that the little princess is a mirror grinder." "Grinding mirrors?" Huo Chenan was puzzled. "I just like women." The old man explained. Huo Chenan was speechless, thinking: "Uh, isn't that Lily? I didn't expect the old man to be so gossipy."
The old man hurriedly said to Huo Chenan: "Don't tell anyone else!"
Huo Chenan was speechless again, thinking: Uncle, I don't think I can be used when you are here.
The old man looked at Huo Chenan meaningfully, patted his butt and left.
