Chapter 312： One ring within one ring

Chapter 312 A ring within a ring

In front of them stood a small grave. On the stone tablet in front of the grave was engraved, "Franco Robert".

The stone monument faces the sea in the distance and has a hill at its back. It is also a good place to rest.

The uncle and nephew kowtowed, guarding the brazier carefully and burning a lot of paper. The naughty sea breeze always wanted to blow out the fire, but the uncle and nephew blocked it tightly.

Not far away stood a steward and a caravan of a hundred or so people. Someone narrowed his eyes due to the sea breeze. He stepped forward and asked the steward in a low voice, "Steward Chen, do you want to hurry up? It's time to set off!"

 Manager Chen waved his hand. Although he was young, he could stand out among so many people under his master, so he certainly had his own merits.

At this moment, he responded in a low voice, "Just a little while, just wait. Thinking about how careful Mr. Li is in his daily life, he will not fail to consider that we are waiting. He should be fine soon."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhensheng stood up with his two nephews, bowed again, patted his clothes clean, and ran towards them.

"Sorry to trouble you, Manager Chen and all the brothers, let's go and return to Kyoto early. Everyone will feel at ease. It's just that the journey has been **** the brothers. When we get home safely, I will give a banquet to thank the brothers!" Li Zhensheng handed over, He smiled and bowed to everyone.

Everyone hurriedly got out of the way and said with a smile, "Mr. Li is very polite. We are also following orders."

Manager Chen quickly said, "Let's go. If everything goes well, we will be home in a month."

Everyone responded and took action one after another. Those who mounted their horses mounted their horses, and those who drove the carts drove the carts.

The entire convoy, consisting of thirty carriages, is the most loaded pallet cart. Box boards are added around them and are firmly fixed with ropes.

The advantage is that it is not easy to loosen and fall off during transportation.

The disadvantage is that if the wheels get stuck in a pit or the carriage breaks down and needs repairs, it will take some effort to unload the cargo.

But with Jiayi, a strong man, following the car, there is no need to worry about this matter.

When a carriage got stuck in a sand pit, before the horse could pull hard, he ran over in a few steps, raised his hands, and the wheels came out easily.

Everyone in the convoy saw it and couldn't help but be surprised, even more surprised.

They are all private soldiers of the Marquis Mansion. Some of them were the secret guards who made mistakes and were spared by the Marquis. Some are soldiers who do not want to continue fighting on the battlefield, and there are also people who have retired from the world.

They are usually scattered around various places, waiting for orders from the Marquis, inquiring about information or doing some small things.

I received the news earlier and rushed here. I originally thought it was a big event, but in the end, I escorted the three uncles and nephews of the Li family and some things back to Kyoto.

This is not a difficult matter, just a little hard work on the way.

Most of them know the details of the Li family. This is the family that the Marquis values ​​the most. It is said that they saved the Marquis' life, and the Li family's daughter is also the adopted daughter of the Marquis.

They originally thought that the Li family was just lucky and the Marquis repaid his kindness. Now it seems that the Li family may really have something special...

Li Zhensheng was sitting on the shaft of the carriage. He didn't know that everyone was thinking about it so much. He was rehearsing the whole process over and over again.

The three uncles and nephews went into the city that day to join the royal caravan and headed south.

Everyone in the caravan knew that the three of them entered through Xintinghou, and no one bullied them along the way.

As for the caravan manager, he had met them several times before and was even more familiar with them. He took great care of them.

When they arrived in Quanzhou, the caravan was buying goods, and the three uncles and nephews walked around to see what was new.

Then, he happened to "save" an old foreign monk who was about to die of illness.

The three uncles and nephews took care of the old monk's food, food and medicine. They also chatted with the old monk and learned a few words in foreign languages.

The old monks are different from the monks in Tianwu. They can eat meat and even drink alcohol. Although they don't understand the language, they can even guess each other's words and gestures. From his words, the three uncles and nephews learned about the wider world, what people in that world like, and what their customs are like.

When the royal caravan was about to return, the old monk's condition did not improve, so they stayed for the sake of the old monk.

The people in the caravan couldn't persuade him, so they left first.

Then they contacted Manager Chen with the token and saw the seeds that had been delivered early.

The steward Chen organized trustworthy people to buy carriages and horses and form a fleet.

The people who sent the seeds from Kyoto and the people who sent the seeds back were not the same group and did not know each other.

In this way, they can successfully place the origin of these seeds on the head of the foreign monk.

Even the group of people who transported the seeds saw with their own eyes the sunken ship that was said to be carrying the old monk.

And I firmly believe that these things in the convoy were gifts from foreign monks in gratitude for Li Zhensheng’s rescue.

Although the old monk did not survive in the end, the Li family deserved these things.

In this way, even if someone bribes these people in the future, they will never know that these seeds come from Kyoto. They just go to Quanzhou and then return to Kyoto.

The whole process was smoothly connected, meticulous and clear. Li Zhensheng asked himself that there was no oversight.

The only person who made him feel a little guilty was the old foreign monk.

I don’t know how Manager Chen found and persuaded the old monk.

At the end of his life, the old monk was still willing to accompany him in acting, chatting and laughing, and treating him as a true friend.

If there was a way, he would even take the risk of exposure and take the old monk home.

It's a pity that the old monk is old and his body is like a lamp withered...

At this moment, Mrs. Li was also holding her granddaughter and standing on the pile of rocks, looking in the direction of the official road.

“I don’t know where your uncle and the others have gone? We all have to take off our jackets here. Is your uncle’s face going to be oily from the sun?”

My mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles. In the past few days, the old lady has been thinking about her eldest son and then her younger son. She occasionally talks about her grandson, wishing that her belly would turn into dozens of twists and turns.

Jiayin didn’t want grandma to be like this. She looked around, trying to distract her from what she was talking about, but ended up pointing to the path and shouting happily, “Senior Sister, Senior Sister!”

Old Mrs. Li turned around and saw that Mrs. Cui was helping Sister-in-law Qiong to come this way.

She quickly got off the pile of stones and greeted, "Jinrou, when did you come? Why did you come here if you weren't waiting at home? The road is not easy to walk!"

Mrs. Cui smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I visited my aunt and Fu Niu. During this period, there is no spring planting in the village. Come and stay for a few days."

While she was talking, she hugged Good News, kissed her, and then asked, "Auntie, this place is a bit remote. Why did you come here to build a pig pen?"

This place is an open space behind Dongshan, not far from the river outside the village.

The village chief and others were happy when they heard that there were still many white pigs to be delivered.

But if a few more pig pens are added to the Li family’s back garden, there will be no room for growing vegetables.
