Chapter 1053: Not In Southern Xinjiang
Chapter 1053 Not in the Southern Border
You’er looked at the man from a distance and slowly shook his head, “Forget it.”
“In order to beg for more money, he is willing to endure the bitter cold and the bitter wind, which is also unbearable for ordinary people.”
He paused, “Those 10 taels of silver should be bought as a lesson.”
He clamped the horse’s belly, and the horse galloped past the beggar quickly.
The remaining horses galloped away one by one.
The group walked for about ten days and entered the southern border.
Qi Er was also excited.
He made inquiries a few times with Grandpa Guo and Jiang Youzhi, and they all said that his father had been transferred to a place called Yutang in the southern border.
This place is of course not made up by Grandpa Guo and Jiang Youzhi.
The transfer order issued by the Ministry of Personnel to Lin Shuo stated that this is the place.
That night, they were resting in an inn. Qier took out the map and looked at it. He happily said to Youer, “It’s only more than fifty miles away from Yutang. Hurry up tomorrow, and you’ll be there before evening.”
The mountain road is not easy to walk, and you can’t walk very far in a day.
You’er was also very happy, “Have an early rest tonight and get up at 90 tomorrow.”
The two were talking when Ma Fei knocked on the door, “Young Master, someone asked to see him, saying that it was sent by General Wu.”
You’er and Qi’er looked at each other and said in unison, “Please come in.”
Not long after, Ma Fei came in with a man in his thirties.
The man cupped his hands and said: “The two young masters, under the order of General Wu, bring a message to the two of them. General Lin is not in Yutang, and the two sons please return to Xiangcheng as soon as possible.”
Qi’er and You’er couldn’t believe what they heard, “What?”
The man continued: “General Wu received the letter from Lord Shoufu, and originally planned to come to meet the two young masters in person, but recently the Sakubang rebellion was recently suppressed by the general with his troops.”
Qi’er said eagerly, “Is my father there too?”
The man shook his head, “No, as far as I know, General Lin is indeed not in the southern border.”
Qi’er’s eyes turned red, “I don’t believe it!”
“Is it because my father is afraid of the unsafe place of the rebellion, so he doesn’t want us to go there?”
The man smiled bitterly, “Young master, it’s not true, there is only General Wu in Sagupang, and there really is no General Lin.”
Qi’er’s eyes gradually turned red, her fists were clenched, and she ran all the way. Seeing that she was about to reach her destination, she suddenly appeared and said that her father was not here. How would you make him accept it?
You’er saw that Qi’er was out of control for a while, and hurriedly grabbed him, “Brother, otherwise, we might as usual go to Yutang tomorrow, and ask the guards over there for clear information first.”
“If Uncle Lin really wants to quell the rebellion, let’s make another plan,”
Qi’er nodded and calmed down after hearing this.
The man smiled bitterly, “You two young masters, please don’t go to Yutang.”
Youer frowned, “Why?”
The man said: “I came here on purpose, just to tell you, because there is a band of bandits entrenched in Yutang, I’m afraid I can’t get through.”
You’er was even more puzzled, “Since there are bandits? Why didn’t General Wu send someone to destroy them?”
The man smiled wryly, “Young Master, General Wu cannot deploy his own troops without an order from above!”
The man sighed, “Let’s put it this way, it’s not that easy to get the army to go over to suppress the bandits. First of all, Yutang has to report to the top, and the top can only move if it moves.”
“Even if the above agrees to suppress the bandits, the bandit suppression is not a one-time event, that is, only 10,000 or 20,000 troops are dispatched, and the local Yutang is responsible for the food and grass. Yutang is already poor, how can you afford it?”
