It turned out that the man was bribed by the Yue people. It cannot be said that he was bribed. It should be said that the Yue people had some leverage.

His mother is the child of a Yue and a girl from the Dayan Dynasty, and is half of Yue blood.

Half a year ago, a Yue man suddenly found him and asked him to bring a message to his mother, saying that people from the Bayan family were here and it was time to fulfill his promise.

He didn't know what it meant, so he went home and told his mother. As a result, his mother fainted with a look of horror on her face. When she woke up, she told him the secret.

Then he also told him that he must not disobey the other party's orders, otherwise the whole family would die miserably.

Then the man came to him several times, asking about insignificant things and giving him a lot of money.

Gradually, he was dazzled by more and more money. He would do whatever the other party asked him to do, but most of them asked him to deliver some well-known news. He didn't know the meaning of these.

This man is the son of Jiayuncheng County Sheriff's Mansion. This time he was sent to follow his master to go south to Nanyue City.

The owner of this convoy is the second son of the Nanyuecheng County Governor, named Shao Yang. And the Jiayun City County Governor is the grandfather of this Shaoyang Master.

A few months ago, he came to his mother's home to deliver things for his mother and stay for a few days.

Unexpectedly, the Yue people happened to attack Qiyang County. All the people in Qiyang County fled south, and refugees came out one after another. His grandfather did not dare to let him go back to Nanyue at that time, so he had to stay for a while.

He could have left two months ago, but he was worried that the Vietnamese would continue to invade the south and affect his grandfather, so he stayed for a while longer.

Unexpectedly, the Yue people stopped at Qiyang City and showed no signs of going south.

Winter has entered now, and the Chinese New Year will be celebrated in three months. Once it snows, we will be unable to travel, so we have to rush back to the south. After all, we still have to celebrate the Chinese New Year at home.

But he didn't expect that among the servants of his grandfather's family, there would be spies who surpassed others!

He had read the letters he had intercepted before, which contained the gate entry and exit times of the towns they stopped at along the way, as well as the number of soldiers defending the city, etc.

These are all on the surface, but experienced generals will be able to see the entire city's defense changes from this.

They only intercepted the messages after leaving Yicheng, which means that the previous messages have been sent out.

The top priority now is to tell his grandfather this so that he can take precautions. After all, his Jiayun City will bear the brunt of the Vietnamese invasion from the south!

Shaoyang didn't dare to delay, and quickly ordered someone to get pen and ink to quickly edit a letter. He wrote the whole thing exactly, and emphasized that the family members who had children in this family must be controlled, and they must not be given a chance to cooperate inside and outside!

Then ask one of the guards to hurry up and send the letter back to the renter.

The group of them will set off early tomorrow and will not be delayed on the road. They will quickly return to Nanyue to find his father and discuss a countermeasure.

Early the next morning, Jiayin and the others got up. They quickly made breakfast, packed up and continued on their way.

The light in this forest is relatively dark at dawn, and it will become brighter when the sun rises.

There are trees inside the mountain, and it's even colder than outside. Even if I put on cotton-padded clothes, I still don't feel warm enough.

The older people had already taken out the rabbit skins they had sewn before and wore them underneath or tied them around their legs.

Now they have a total of eleven carts, and the carts that were pushed by people before are also tied to the back of the bullock carts. In this way, one cow is pulling one and dragging another. But it frees up all the manpower.

Fang Yunping rearranged the car, and all the old, weak, women and children were in the car. In one car, a young man drove the car, and then the remaining twenty or so people walked around with knives to protect them.

Of course, the knife is not held in the hand, but is made into a scabbard made of tree bark and worn on the body, so that it can be drawn out at any time.

This is official law. It is not good to show the knife clearly and scare others. Although they also encountered the mule team transporting porcelain in front of them along the way and have not met anyone else, it is better to be careful.

They will rotate every two hours, and those who drive will switch to walking outside, which can be regarded as stretching their muscles.

In this way, there are three shifts a day, exactly six hours.

That night, everyone in the Fang family had just found a place to rest, when the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance on the road behind them.

There will be echoes if the sound is slightly louder in this mountain. Even if you hear it, it may still be far away.

Jiayin had already detected it with his spiritual sense. It was the convoy from before that was catching up, but it was still several miles away from here.

After their food was ready, the convoy came to them.

The steward, who was sitting on the edge of the owner's carriage, recognized them at a glance. He asked the coachman to stop the carriage, got off the carriage, paused, and then walked forward to say hello to them.

"Brother Fang, I didn't expect that we would meet again. What a fate! Hahaha..." Fang Yunping cupped his hands and smiled.

They had already exchanged surnames last time, and the housekeeper's surname was Shao.

Fang Yunping stood up from the tree stump and returned the greeting, "Steward Shao, we meet again! I didn't expect you to be behind us. I thought you had already gone to the town ahead."

Butler Shao chuckled and said, "We rested in Fengcheng City for one night before we hit the road."

Fang Yunping suddenly realized, this is a rich person! More than thirty people are willing to stay in the inn. Unlike himself and others, they are reluctant to stay even if they have money.

The Shao family's convoy decided to set up camp next to the Fang family's camp to rest. The two parties knew each other, not to mention that Fang Youwei had helped them catch a spy before because of Fang Youwei's reminder. They felt very safe being with the Fang family.

So we found a slightly flat place not far behind the Fang family's camp and began to set up the camp tent.

Jiayin glanced at their convoy with his consciousness. He found that the man with the black mole on his forehead was tied up with a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth and locked in a carriage at the back. There was a guard with a knife guarding the carriage.

With.

This time the master finally got out of the carriage. He came over and thanked Fang Youwei in person.

Others didn't understand why, but Fang Youwei still knew what was going on.

He quickly waved his hands and said: "It's just a small effort, sir, you don't need to be so polite."

Shao Yang smiled faintly, turned to Fang Yunping and said: Chief Fang, I wonder if you can sell me another meal? What you cook is much more delicious than what my servants cook."

After all, he was traveling far away and it was difficult to bring a cook with him. During the months of traveling back and forth, servants who knew how to cook were basically doing the cooking.

If you say you can cook, it means you can cook it well. The taste is not comparable to that of a chef, nor can it be compared to that of an ordinary woman.

It was not easy for him to take a maid with him on such a long journey. All he had to take with him were men.

I didn’t expect that the food cooked by me was not as good as that of a peasant woman.
