Chapter 1553 Lei Wuye’s Gift
Guo Daming was overjoyed, clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "Don't worry, little brother, I understand, I will definitely not cause you any trouble, thank you very much!"
He followed Zhang Yan into the Lei Family Village.
Leijia Zhuangzi is very large, and the courtyards in the Zhuangzi are much better than those in Laoguzhuang. They are set-style courtyards. Each large courtyard has three courtyards, the front yard, the main yard, and the back yard, just like a small house. .
There are also two rows of densely packed houses built next to the large courtyard, which were used for the servants to live in. Now they can be used for the families of the soldiers.
Gu Jinli and Qin Sanlang were guests of the Lei family, and they stayed in the main courtyard.
Kunzi said: "The fifth master has told me that you will live in the main room."
But Qin Sanlang and Gu Jinli didn't live there. They went to live in the left wing.
After all, they were guests, so it was not good to stay in the main room. Anyway, the left wing had three rooms, which was very spacious and very comfortable to live in.
When Kunzi saw that they didn't listen, he didn't force himself, so he felt very relieved, thinking that Sanlang and the Gu family girl knew the rules.
"Uncle Kunzi, here are the dried pine mushrooms, pickled green plums, steamed sake, and ham brought from home. There are three portions in total. They are for the Fifth Master's family, your family, and Achuan's family. Could you please give them to me? Send it over." Gu Jinli greeted Er Qing.
Erqing and Xiaoji picked out the gifts they had prepared long ago.
Uncle Kunzi smiled and said: "My little boss is very interested. Mr. Wu and Ah Chuan like to eat sake and ham. If they see these things, they will be very happy."
Kunzi was not polite and asked people to pick out the gifts.
After entering the outhouse where the main room was waiting for guests, he pointed at Gu Jinli's face and asked, "Is everything okay?"
And that stinky smell on my body, my goodness, it’s so suffocating.
Gu Jinli grinned and said, "It's okay, it's just a way to protect yourself."
Kunzi nodded and said, "It's a good idea. It's safe this way."
The girl of the Gu family was pretty when she was little. Now that she has grown up, her facial features have become more and more delicate. This chaos in the northwest has made her look ugly. She is safe... but the stench is really unbearable and unbearable.
Gu Jinli asked Kunzi: "Uncle Kunzi, are your injuries okay?"
The Lei family caravan had a shop in Longshan Mansion, but after Longshan Mansion was breached, the Lei family caravan had no choice but to retreat. Uncle Kun Zi was injured during the retreat.
When he saw Uncle Kun Zi this time, Gu Jinli found that he was weak in speech and his face was a little pale. He was obviously hurt.
Kunzi smiled and said, "I've been raising him for a few months. There's nothing serious. It's just that his skills are not as good as before and he can't run far. Now, the main job of crossing the Longshan Mountains is for Ah Chuan to run with him."
After hearing this, Qin Sanlang stood up and closed the door of the main room. After sitting down, he asked, "Uncle Kunzi, are Fifth Master and the others not in Dachu?"
Kunzi nodded and lowered his voice and said: "I left a year ago to go to the Longshan Mountains to find out the news. Half of the people in the caravan also went to the Longshan Mansion to get the news."
Kunzi glanced at Qin Sanlang and sighed: "The situation is not good... The Rong people seemed determined to take root in Longshan Mansion, so they captured several groups of people who knew farming and asked them to teach the Rong people how to farm. "
But the Rong people had never farmed before and had a bad temper. They couldn't learn how to do it and beat many farmers to death in anger.
He added: "The Rong people also captured many craftsmen who knew how to make iron, and asked the craftsmen to teach them how to find ores, make iron, and make weapons."
Qin Sanlang was shocked when he heard this, his face darkened, and he said: "Learn farming and iron smelting. They really want to take root in Dachu... Long'an Prefecture and Xing'an Prefecture are in danger."
There are iron mines in Xing'an Prefecture. When the Rong captured a craftsman who knew how to make iron, they must have pointed their sword at Xing'an Prefecture, which had iron mines. If they wanted to capture Xing'an Prefecture, they had to capture Long'an Prefecture first.
Now both cities are in danger.
Kunzi nodded: "Sanlang is right. The fifth master and the others saw the Rong people's intentions, so they became anxious and took the risk to go to the Longshan Mountains to inquire about the situation at this time."
"Are you just inquiring about the situation? Does Fifth Master have other plans?" Gu Jinli asked. Considering the person Lei Wu is, he may not be willing to just inquire about the situation.
Kunzi was silent, and after a moment, he said with red eyes: "The fifth master has already explained the matter. If there is a chance, he will not give up."
The words were cryptic, but Gu Jinli and Qin Sanlang both understood that Lei Wuye was determined to die and wanted to stop the Rong invasion.
Everyone's heart became heavy.
Uncle Kun Zi smiled and said: "You don't have to be like this. The Fifth Master has a lot of people over there in the Longshan Mountains, and the Fifth Master is very capable, so nothing will happen... The Fifth Master said that he has already lived a long time, If the end comes, if you can do what you want to do, it will be worthy of your ancestors."
Then he said: "You guys wait a moment, I'll be back as soon as I can."
Uncle Kunzi stood up and left the courtyard. Two-quarters of an hour later, he came back with three maps: "One is for the northwest, one is for the Longshan Mountains, and one is for Dayong. This is the fifth master's map. I have been running for decades and drew it myself, but there are many places on it that others don’t know.”
These three maps can be said to have carried the fifth master's lifelong efforts. He drew them by traveling back and forth between Da Rong and Da Chu again and again.
Qin Sanlang and Gu Jinli were both shocked. They stood up and looked at the three maps, especially the one of Longshan Mountains, which can be said to be a treasure.
The Longshan Mountains are like a ridge of sky, separating Dachu and Darong. There are countless peaks, old forests, wild beasts, rivers, trails, cliffs, and sinkholes in the Longshan Mountains. If a stranger enters, they will undoubtedly die.
But with this detailed map, not only can we take shortcuts between Da Chu and Da Rong, but we can also avoid many traps, wild beast dens, and miasmatic old forests in the mountains.
Qin Sanlang also entered the Longshan Mountains, but even he didn't know some of the places marked on this map.
Qin Sanlang put away the map, saluted Kunzi solemnly, and said: "Tell the fifth master, I thank him very much."
"I will definitely tell him." Kunzi smiled and helped him up, then handed him a box and said, "Here are the store distribution map of the Lei Family Caravan and the list of shopkeepers. Take it with you. When you arrive at Long'an Mansion, If you need anything, you can go to the people above."
Qin Sanlang accepted it.
Gu Jinli asked about Aji's situation: "Isn't Uncle Aji not in the northwest? If we have any difficulties, can we find him?"
The word "Uncle Ah Ji" was quite sweet, but Gu Jinli didn't like Ah Ji just as Ah Ji didn't like her, so the two of them were on guard against each other.
Kunzi said: "Aji is no longer in the northwest. He has gone to the northeast. He said that the business losses in Dayong were too great and he wanted to go to Dongqing."
Went to Northeast China?
Gu Jinli asked again: "When did Uncle Ah Ji go to the Northeast? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
The Gu family has been doing business with the Lei family caravan for several years. Kunzi has watched Gu Jinli grow up. Hearing this, he thought she was caring about A Ji, an elder, and answered her: "Since the year we started doing business with your family, I went to the Northeast, but I didn’t go back very often at that time, but later I went more often. Since last year, I have been in the Northeast and have never returned to the Northwest.”
