Chapter 55
But after asking, I found out that Hong Qigong had left Zhangjiakou and went south to return to the territory of Song State... and this time it seemed that it was just a simple trip, so no one knew his specific whereabouts for the time being.
Well……
Wu Yun was a little helpless.
"It was inconvenient in ancient times! No matter how good the martial arts are, it is so troublesome to find someone."
After thinking about it, he reminded the head of the Beggars' Gang here and immediately sent a letter to inform the Beggars' Gang in various parts of the world, telling them that they had appeared and were safe and sound in the past few years. If Mr. Hong happened to arrive at the branch of the place, he would tell the news immediately.
Wu Yun felt that this would at least make the master feel at ease and know that he was still alive.
The master and the apprentice will meet again one day.
After doing this, he left Zhangjiakou and headed south to return to the territory of Song... As for Guo Jing's affairs, he didn't have the heart to care too much about it.
Although it has to be said that the iron-silly Guo Jing is indeed very popular, he was originally the protagonist of the The Legend of the Condor Heroes and had his own luck. Wu Yun felt that he didn't need to interfere too much, and the other party's future was also smooth.
For the next period of time, Wu Yun also traveled south while traveling, passing through Zhengzhou, Handan, Shijiazhuang and other cities in his previous lives were all famous cities... Of course, these cities now belong to the Jin Kingdom.

Drive! Drive!
The groom drove the carriage and drove on the official road, stirring up dust and flying.
There were three carriages in total, all led by tall horses, accompanying two grooms. Each carriage was accompanied by a knife guard on both sides. At the front, two people were leading the way.
Obviously, this should be some high-ranking officials or rushing to travel!
The first carriage was the largest and most spacious. One of the handsome men in a crescent white silk robe was looking at some of the documents in their hands.
He looked about 35 or 36 years old, with a dignified appearance and a righteous spirit. He was obviously a court official.
Beside him, a beautiful and dignified woman was peeling grapes and then kept putting them into his mouth...
"Husband, you eat."
The man put down the document in his hand and glanced at his wife helplessly: "Wan'er, I'm already full. If I eat it, I'm afraid my stomach will feel uncomfortable."
The woman pouted gently: "Who told me to keep reading the imperial court documents? You have time to read these things when you arrive in Xiangyang. Daddy is really good. You are doing well in the Privy Council in Beijing, but you just want to transfer to the north to become the Xiangyang Defense Envoy."
The man said seriously: "Wan'er, you are wrong about your father-in-law. This is what I took the initiative to ask to go to Xiangyang. My Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom have been in confrontation for nearly a hundred years, and Xiangyang is the front line of the border. If I can really take charge of the Privy Council in the future, I will not be able to do anything without the experience of the local area."
oh……
The woman was still a little unhappy, lowered her head and pulled the corner of her clothes in a posture of a little daughter.
The man smiled bitterly and shook his head, took her shoulders, and said softly: "But the family, country and the world always need someone to take responsibility. Although our Song Dynasty is declining, the Jin Dynasty is declining faster! As long as we persist for more than ten years, our Song Dynasty will definitely have the opportunity to launch a counterattack."
I have to say that this person’s judgment is quite accurate!
In history, although the military strength of the Song Dynasty was not strong, it was still very resilient. The rich commercial economy and open social atmosphere brought strong lasting capabilities.
This is also why the Northern Song Dynasty could drag down the Liao Kingdom, and the Southern Song Dynasty could survive until the Jin Dynasty was destroyed... If it weren't for the sudden rise of the Mongolian existence, the Southern Song Dynasty's counterattack against the Jin Kingdom would have been likely to have become a reality.
"But it's just a pain Wan'er."
"That's not! Anyway, I have been playing polo with the good sisters in Beijing since I was a child, and I am in good health. I will follow you to Xiangyang to avoid you from finding a concubine. If there is a fox charming person who dares to provoke you, I will knock them down."
As he said that, the woman deliberately acted fiercely.
The social atmosphere of the Song Dynasty was developed. In the same class, women could still show up. Even among dignitaries and nobles, women could ride horses, play polo, drink, play pots, etc. As long as they did not date men privately, there were not many rules for gatherings between families.
The couple was talking nonsense, suddenly!
Xilulu!
The carriage suddenly stopped in an emergency, and the driver grabbed the reins and stopped.
"Ouch!"
The violent inertia made both of them shake in the car.
The man frowned and lifted the curtain in front of the carriage: "What's going on?"
Before the coachman could reply, the guards on both sides had already stepped forward and clasped their fists and said, "Sir, there are collapsed trees in front of them blocking the way. I guess they need to be cleaned up."
oh?
The man left the carriage and looked carefully. His brows frowned even more: "It doesn't look like it collapses naturally. Instead, it looks like it was piled up by man."
A warning echoed in his heart.
Although this is an official road, it passes through remote mountainous lands, with no villages in front and no shops in the back, and hundreds of miles away from the nearest city. If you encounter...
Just as I was thinking about this, the sound of footsteps surrounding people sounded in the woods on both sides of the road. In a moment, dozens of masked men in black appeared.
They all held sharp swords and surrounded them both in front, back, left and right!
The sword-holder's face changed: "Not good! There are thieves who robbed the way."
After saying that, he pulled out his knife with a clang, surrounded the carriage and protected it in the center.
Although there were three carriages in total, the two cars in the back were actually loaded with some accompanying items. The real people were the officials and couples in the first carriage. The rest of the people and servants were naturally riding horses.
At this moment, there were eight imperial guards with swords and five servants. Facing at least sixty or seventy fully armed thieves, they were obviously in danger.
"Husband, are there any thieves who robbed the way? I heard that the world has begun to be in a state of chaos. I didn't expect that they would dare to rob the imperial officials on the official road."
Qin Wan held the man's hand. Although her face was calm, her palms were sweating, which showed that she was already very nervous.
"Wan'er, don't be afraid, these guards are all elite imperial guards sent by His Majesty. The thief is not their opponents. Don't worry."
"Oh, that's good."
Qin Wan was still a little panicked.
In fact, the man was also very nervous. Because the moment the thieves appeared just now, he could have seen that ordinary bandits and robbers could never have such excellent equipment.
Even those big sects in the world are unlikely to be!
So... he had a vague guess in his mind, but he was not sure yet.
Chapter completed!
