Chapter 67 This Nursing Home Is Not Right
After Qin Song's explanation, Mo Ziming realized that going to Gusu was a complete task of following the flow.
Qin Song's mother, Yao, has not returned to her parents' home for seven or eight years because of her weak body.
My health has improved a little this year, so I kept muttering that I wanted to go back to my parents' home to see it.
Yesterday, Xu Xianyi announced that the academy would be on vacation for half a month, and Qin Song remembered this.
Just so happened that he could take this opportunity to go out for fun and relax.
I pulled Mo Ziming up because I wanted to have multiple companions along the way... After all, I was a good friend.
"Young Master Mo, I'm so embarrassed. I'll do you to follow the boat and ride..."
Yao walked up and said with a smile.
"Auntie is so serious, but will it be inconvenient for me to go to Gusu with me?"
"No, no, what's inconvenient? Many people are still more lively."
"Then thank you aunt."
After a few polite words, the group got on the carriage separately, while the guards rode a horse in front of the head to open the road.
Qiantang County is not far from Gusu Prefecture, about 300 miles away.
If you ride alone and don’t worry about being tired, you can arrive on the same day.
However, the carriage was slower, and Yao's body was relatively weak and could not stand the violent bumps.
Therefore, the speed of the carriage has to slow down a little.
The journey was quite smooth, after all, there were many people coming and going, so it was relatively safe.
On the third day, the situation changed...
According to the itinerary, we should have arrived at Gusu Prefecture at noon.
But now it's afternoon, but they are still wandering in the mountains.
Qin Song was a little confused, so he leaned over and asked the coachman: "Lao Ma, why haven't you arrived yet? And it doesn't look like an official road. Have you taken the wrong path?"
"Young Master, Liu Huyuan is leading the way in front. He said this is a shortcut."
"Fastway?"
Qin Song couldn't help but frowned.
If it is short-lived, it should be even more here.
"Hey, Liu Huyuan..." Qin Song couldn't help but put his palms together and shouted: "Come here."
Hearing the cry, Liu Huyuan turned his horse and ran over.
"What are the instructions for the young master?"
Qin Song said a little dissatisfied: "Liu Huyuan, what path did you lead? Before leaving, I said that I would take the official road all the way. How is this place like an official road?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Huyuan couldn't help but smile apologetically: "Young Master calm down, I'm kind-hearted and want to take a shortcut to Gusu earlier.
Unexpectedly, I seemed to be in the wrong direction.
Young Master, don’t worry, I’m looking for a way out, so it won’t take long.”
"sky!"
Qin Song couldn't help but touch his forehead.
At this time, Mo Ziming, who was sitting in the carriage, felt something was wrong.
Because he saw a trace of cold light passing by inadvertently from Liu Huyuan's eyes.
Could it be that this guy deliberately led the wrong way?
What is his purpose?
"Forget it, don't make any trouble. Find someone to ask for directions and hurry back to the official road."
"Yes, Master!"
Liu Huyuan responded and slapped his horse and left the carriage.
As soon as he left, Mo Ziming whispered to Qin Song: "Brother Qin, how long has the Liu Huyuan been in your house?"
"Well, it's about three or four years...what happened?"
"I always feel something is wrong with this guy..."
"Ah? No way?" Qin Song was shocked.
"Haha, maybe I'm thinking too much."
Mo Ziming smiled, and subconsciously glanced at Liu Huyuan's back.
With his strength, it doesn't matter if that guy has a crush on his heart.
Observe first and then talk about it.
I never thought that the mountain road was getting narrower and narrower, becoming more and more remote, and there was no ghost.
Even Yao began to feel something was wrong, so he lifted the curtain and let the carriage stop.
"What's going on? The sun is about to set, why is it still turning in the deep mountains?"
"Madam, this... this is the way led by Liu Huyuan."
"Call him here, what way do you take? Why do you do if you don't leave the official road and run to this mountain?"
Yao's temper has always been very gentle and he rarely scolds his subordinates once on weekdays.
But now I am really angry and my tone is a little angry.
"lady……"
Liu Huyuan rode over on a horse.
"Liu Huyuan, are you deliberately letting everyone spend the night in the mountains? Why don't you walk the official road and insist on walking the path?"
"Well..."
While responding, Liu Huyuan jumped off the horse's back and looked around, his face suddenly became ferocious.
"Madam, if you don't take you on the path, how can you do it?"
As soon as these words came out, Yao was shocked and quickly retracted back to the car.
At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Liu Huyuan, I warn you not to do anything nonsense, Lao Ma, Lao Ma, come here quickly."
Hearing the wife's scream, Lao Ma quickly jumped out of the carriage.
At the same time, Qin Song's face changed and he hurriedly ran down.
"Hahaha, what can you do if you have too many people? Are you not afraid of the knife in my hand?"
Liu Huyuan grinned and pulled out the long knife from his waist.
"Bold, Liu Huyuan, are you crazy? Are you not afraid of suing?"
Qin Song was worried about his mother's safety and shouted angrily while running.
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. But you don't have the chance to report to the official..."
"Liu Huyuan, what do you...what do you want? Don't hurt us, I'll give you money."
Although Yao was afraid, he had to muster up the courage to negotiate with the other party at the critical moment of life and death.
At the same time, I felt very regretful. I wanted to recruit someone to guard the house, but I never thought that it would attract a wolve.
"Haha, it's still the wife who is wise. In fact, Liu didn't want to come up with this bad plan, but he just went astray and became obsessed with gambling.
Not only did I lose all of my money, I also owed a lot of gambling debts.
I was worried about where to make a quick money, but the wife gave the opportunity.
Let’s just say a long story, give me two thousand taels of silver, and I will let you go..."
"Two thousand taels? Why don't you rob it?"
Qin Song might have been confused about reading and actually said this sentence.
"Hahaha, the young master is worthy of being a scholar..." Liu Huyuan couldn't help laughing: "Isn't Liu robbing now?"
"Song'er, don't talk, let my mother deal with this matter."
Yao was afraid that his son would anger Liu Huyuan, so he shouted immediately and bravely walked off the carriage, blocking his son intentionally or unintentionally.
"Liu Huyuan, I can agree to your conditions. However, I only brought three hundred taels with me on this trip.
Otherwise, after arriving in Gusu, I will find a way to borrow some from my parents’ home and make up 2,000 taels for you?”
"Madam, do you think Liu is a fool?
When you arrive at Gusu Mansion, you will report to the official position. Liu will not be fooled."
"But I really don't bring that much money..."
"This is simple. Madam, you can go to Gusu Mansion to raise money and others stay as hostages.
I would like to advise my wife not to be clever, otherwise I will tear up the votes and kill your son and these people!"
"No...please, please leave me as hostage and let them all go, please..."
