Chapter 52: Old Man Liu Qing
The four of them looked in the sound and saw a thin old man in front of him, leading a pony that was not much bigger than a donkey, running towards him in three steps.
He looked dusty and seemed to have been traveling for a long time. However, although this old man was thin, he didn't look as weak as he wanted to make up for his figure.
Although he ran over quickly, his feet were extremely calm, and every movement was clean and neat without any drag.
Xie Li was quite familiar with the old man's impression, and after a while he suddenly realized that he had seen too many similar veterans when he was in Xiangyang City and was "shopping" on the city wall every day.
They were born in the army and didn't know how many times they had been baptized by war. Although they were willing to be decisive, they were still alive after all. Every trauma was rare and extremely valuable experience. With so much experience, they had learned a style that suited them the most, and even more, just like the old man who had already reached the front, even every normal movement was as simple and practical as possible.
The old man had already arrived in front of the few people who were close to each other and stopped.
"Oh... my little husband and little wife, you ran away from home without saying a word, but I was exhausted by Liu Qing."
Huan Chan asked with surprise: "Brother Liu, why did you come here?"
"After you two disappeared from home, General Huan sent us a few of us to look for each other. Three days have passed, and I, Liu Qing, haven't even closed my eyes yet." After the old man finished speaking, he asked in confusion: "I, Liu Qing, came here to find you two, but why are you two here?"
"Uh... well... that's it." Huan Chan stammered for a while, and finally thought of something, and then explained: "This is the only way to Xiangyang to Jiangling. If the city of Xiangyang is urgently reported, it will definitely pass here and then walk this road. But Liu Bo, you also know how many mountain thieves there are along the way. If the postman who sent the letter was robbed or stolen halfway, wouldn't it be extremely unfavorable to our army? And anyway, we brother and sister were idle at home, and we came to do something within our ability to clear obstacles for this important postman. Are you right? Liu Bo."
Huan Xian next to him had turned his head and pretended to be unrelated to him. Although he could not think of a good excuse for a while, the reason he made up by his younger sister was too stupid. He asked him to go over and say, "Yes, this is the reason why we came out." It would be better to just tell the truth directly.
The old man Liu Qing on the opposite side seemed to listen very seriously. After Huan Chan finished speaking, she continued her words and asked: "I don't know if there are any postmen in Xiangyang City. If there is really an urgent report, then I, Liu Qing, should naturally follow the two young masters to ensure the safety of this postmen."
"Hey! Hey! It's the thin boy next to me... this little skinny guy. We finally came out and naturally we couldn't make no achievements. Otherwise, it would be too shameful for my father. The two of us were waiting to discover this in Yicheng."
"Oh?" Liu Qing looked very "surprised" and then looked in the direction of Huan Chan's finger.
Xie Li smiled and bowed to him and said, "Boy Xie Li, I have met Uncle Liu."
Liu Qing nodded, then asked Xie Li, "Are you really the messenger who sent a letter to the governor Zhu as my girl said? You have this military emergency?"
However, before Xie Li could answer, Huan Chan interrupted and said, "It's true that both my brother and I have checked it just now. It was indeed a letter written by Uncle Zhu to his father, and it was also covered with his seal from the governor of Liangzhou."
Xie Li waited for her to finish speaking and said: "It is not known whether it is an urgent matter between the military and the kid. Now he is just doing his job on orders."
"Okay! Since my husband and girl have verified it, it is naturally not fake. Now that I have found two young masters, I don't have to hurry back and report. On the way to Jiangling, even if I, Liu Qing, are the only ones."
Su Huixue beside Xie Li was still in her own mood, and Xie Li's little movement just now really made her very sweet.
At this time, she didn't care about who was around her, nor did she pay any attention to who the husband Huan Xian and Huan Chan was. Anyway, Xie Li decided on anything.
However, Xie Li was constantly thinking. Although the old man Liu Qing looked dusty and seemed to be on the road, it was really a coincidence that he found Huan Xian and Huan Chan on the street of Yicheng.
Moreover, the reason Huan Chan mentioned just now was too absurd, and Old Man Liu Qing was too calm. Although this calmness may come from the "professional ethics" of a division and family generals, it is too outrageous to be able to be so unmoved.
Xie Li looked at the old man, then looked at Huan Xian and Huan Chan, as if he had finally thought of something.
Then he put on a smiling face and stared at the old man Liu Qing and said, "You are rude. I want to ask if the money and money you carry on Uncle Liu this time. It is already difficult for Xie Li to support himself and his family. Brother Yanzu and Niang Huan came from a prominent family and did not value this money very much. They are often 'generous' when used, and now they are afraid that there are not many left."
Xie Li stared at the old man without blinking, and then continued, "There are more than 400 miles to Jiangling. If we don't have much money on us, it will be difficult for us to arrive in Jiangling safely..."
"The Xie Yi Envoy needs no worries. General Huan had already ordered people to prepare enough money when we came out, so when we went back, there was no need to worry about this."
"Haha... Since that's the case, the boy will feel relieved. However, when he was in Xiangyang, he often heard the old people in the city say that when he was out, he must keep his luggage and don't let the thief steal it in the middle of the night. Since Liu Bo has so much money and silk, he should be careful at night."
Liu Qing on the opposite side finally reacted. When Xie Li talked about stealing his son late at night, he looked at him deeply, which was meaningful.
After seeing Old Man Liu's eyes, Xie Li was quite satisfied and could not help but smile relaxed on his face.
What he wanted to figure out just now was just the mystery of losing money between the Huan brothers and sisters. Now that he has understood it, he no longer paid attention to this matter.
Then he turned around and said to Su Huixue: "Let's go and pick a more comfortable carriage. It's more than 400 miles away, so you can't be so satisfied..."
