Why marry someone when you are reborn?

Chapter 225 Ready to go

Xu Yun's appointment order was sent directly to the Imperial College.

When it was delivered, no one was too surprised.

After all, before the appointment order came down, Xu Yun's affairs had already been known to everyone.

After receiving the appointment order, Xu Yun no longer had to go to the Imperial College.

In the afternoon, before Xu Yun left, Zhang Xiaozhi took out his treasured tea and said to Xu Yun with a smile: "I don't know when we will meet again, so this is a good way to practice."

Xu Yun thanked him quickly.

Lu An and Wang Cong also came over.

Wang Cong came over, and Xie Chunlin, Chang Sunqi, Lu Ran and others also came over.

It seems quite full.

As everyone talked, they inevitably talked about Lingtai County, where Xu Yun was going.

Lu Ran looked sympathetic and said, "I've been to Lingtai County once. That place is really poor. Those hunters are really tough. They dare to hunt tigers - that time we went there, we also wanted to get a tiger skin."

Xie Chunlin looked at Xu Yun with a smile, not knowing what he was thinking. Anyway, he just said, "Then County Magistrate Xu should be careful. I heard that the previous county magistrate was killed because of taxation."

The country is short of money now, and the first priority of local officials is to collect taxes.

Wang Cong glanced at Xie Chunlin and suddenly said, "I heard that Xu Tanhua's mother's surname is Xie? She is from the same family as Xie Jinshi—"

Xie Chunlin explained: "We have already separated from the Xie family in the south. We are not considered one family—"

Wang Cong smiled and said, "It's the same surname after all."

Xu Yun smiled and said, "If you really think about it, which family doesn't have a few wealthy relatives? But in the final analysis, they are still two families."

Wang Cong and Xu Yun looked at each other and nodded: "That's the truth."

Zhang Xiaozhi raised his teacup and said, "I am here to wish Xu Tanhua to achieve success soon. When the time comes, we will meet again in Beiping!"

"Don't worry, Zhang Siye. When I come back, I will definitely ask you for tea." Xu Yun smiled and joked, "Please don't dislike me then."

Zhang Xiaozhi laughed loudly: "If you bring Tuyi, I won't mind!"

After chatting and laughing, when it was time to go off duty, everyone dispersed and went home.

Wang Cong said goodbye to Xu Yun at the gate of the Imperial College, and bowed with a heavy face: "Xu Tanhua, please take care of yourself on your way. I will be in Beiping City, waiting for the day when we will be reunited."

Xu Yun replied: "Of course, of course. Wang Bangyan is in Beiping, please take care of yourself too."

Xu Yun went all the way back home.

Luo Zhan met her on the way and got on the bus to ride with her.

Luo Zhan looked very unhappy.

Xu Yun looked at him three times before he was sure that he was really injured. There was a bruise at the corner of his eye: "You...had a fight with someone?"

This is really...really...strange!

Luo Zhan automatically understood Xu Yun's question as concern, but he poked his cheek with his tongue and didn't want to talk.

It's nothing, just embarrassing.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Xu Yun didn't ask and turned the topic back to himself: "Have you been to Lingtai County?"

Luo Zhan glanced at Xu Yun coldly.

Xu Yun was confused: What did I say wrong? Why did he seem even more unhappy?

There was silence in the carriage for a long time. When the carriage stopped, Wang Li, the driver outside, said that they had arrived and asked them to get off. Luo Zhan was the first to get out.

Just as he was about to jump out of the car, he suddenly turned around and asked coldly, "Do you really want to go to Lingtai County?"

Xu Yun was completely confused.

After getting off the car, Luo Zhan went straight back to his home.

After Xu Yun came down, we could only see his back as he turned into his home.

This……

Xu Yun stood there, thinking seriously for a while, wondering if he had offended Luo Zhan.

But she felt that she had not offended Luo Zhan.

Isn't everything good lately?

Except for the day I first went to the Imperial College - but it's been almost a month. I can't remember it now, right?

Xu Yun was puzzled and could only return home in confusion.

As a result, not long after, Ashu came over to deliver something.

It's a list.

The words are as usual, making people unwilling to take a second look.

Xu Yun couldn't help but be distracted: If someone wanted to forge Luo Zhan's notes in the future, they would probably not know where to start after looking at these words.

But after reading the list, Xu Yun felt that he shouldn't think this way.

After all, Luo Zhan is so good.

He had such an attitude just now, but now he sent me such a practical thing.

The list contains everything you need to prepare for going to Lingtai County.

The first sentence is money.

At the end, it says that Lingtai County is rich in furs, so you don’t need to bring a mattress or quilt with you. You can just buy a fur mattress when you get there. It’s cheap and convenient.

You don't need to bring thick clothes, they won't protect you. Just buy them when you get there. They're cheaper in the summer.

The second thing to bring is various fine ingredients, as the food there is simple and crude.

The third thing to bring is a bodyguard. There is a number 15 on the back, and it is also noted that there should be three shifts, so that someone should always be by your side.

The fourth thing to bring is a gift. In every place, the gift of meeting someone is made of silk, satin, and fine utensils.

And then there is nothing.

There is only one more sentence at the end: Travel as soon as possible and settle down before September.

Xu Yun read it three times and said with emotion: "It's really thoughtful and meticulous."

Luo Li had already copied all these things, and couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "It's quite detailed. I really can't tell."

After all, although General Luo usually didn't put on airs when dealing with them, he had never been so meticulous.

Maybe you can't see it unless you encounter such a thing?

Luo Li asked Xu Yun: "Have the higher-ups agreed to give us what we want?"

Although Xu Yun hadn't gotten an accurate answer yet, he nodded confidently: "It should be no problem."

Luo Li put down his pen and asked one last question: "When do we set out?"

"The sooner the better, let's do it in five days." Xu Yun did not hesitate and made the decision quickly.

These five days are just right for preparation.

After making the decision, Xu Yun took the appointment order to meet Xie Wanqing and Hongyu.

Xie Wanqing couldn't resist Hongyu's persuasion, intentional or unintentional, and was already shaken. Although she hadn't given in yet, she probably accepted the matter in her heart.

Xu Yun came over with the appointment order, saying that he would leave in five days. Xie Wanqing's eyes were red: "So soon——"

"Go early and come back early." Xu Yun smiled, hugged Xie Wanqing's arm, put his face on her arm, and acted like a spoiled child: "In the next few days, mother will cook for me personally. Okay?"

Xie Wanqing hugged Xu Yun, knowing in her heart that she could not keep Xu Yun. She sighed secretly but agreed to it gently.

She tidied up Xu Yun's hair and said, "Then your aunt, please take good care of yourself and come back safely."

At this point, Xie Wanqing had agreed to let Xu Yun go to Lingtai County alone.

The next day, Xu Yun started packing up with Luo Li.

Then, he went out to meet Ding San and Tian Wang.

Ding San was still working as a rickshaw driver, soliciting passengers everywhere to inquire for information.

Tian Wang...has become the shopkeeper of that shopkeeper Jia.
