I played as an assistant in ancient times

It turned out that the brother-in-law became curious when he saw that the legendary Gongwei Division had hired a doctor to prepare medicine and prepared meals for Lu Guan.

When delivering midnight snack to the advisor who was working under the lamp, he asked a few more questions and learned that Lu Guanyuan's father had once risked his life to save the emperor on the battlefield.

The descendants of those soldiers who died while saving the emperor were all granted the hereditary title of centurion in the Gongwei Division and were allowed to join the camp when they reached the age of sixteen.

Shen Changsui never thought that Lu Guan was captured by his own people. It seemed that he would be really fine.

The second in command's brother-in-law was very satisfied with Shen Changsui's sincerity. He glanced at his brother-in-law who was pacing in the courtyard and said, "Second Master Shen saved Young Master Lu's life. If we talk about this friendship now, it will surely be much easier for him to take the imperial examination in Beijing."

"Master Hu, you don't know, there were several people who offered help yesterday, and I was just one of them." Shen Changsui pretended to feel regretful.

Master Hu smiled and said, "If you are interested, I can pass on a message."

He naturally raised the thumb and index finger of his right hand and rubbed them together, asking for more money.

"It would be better to wait until he leaves and then have a chance to take a look." Not satisfied with the one or two taels of silver he had just given, Shen Changsui knew that the man in front of him was just a cook and had no chance of getting close to the guards from the Guard Bureau.

Scholars are really good at pretending. Master Hu slowly put away his smile and said, "What a coincidence. I heard that one of the two men went to the ferry early this morning."

"It looks like he's leaving soon." Shen Changsui looked a little disappointed, but after a few breaths he bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, I won't bother you anymore."

After saying this, he reached out and put a silver ingot weighing more than two coins into the other person's hand.

Master Hu subconsciously weighed it, coughed lightly and accepted it, "If it comes in handy in the future, just go to the government office and let me know."

"Thank you." Shen Changsui nodded and went out. After a while, he said goodbye to Chang Erdangjia in the courtyard.

But he did not leave the city. Instead, he went to a bookstore to rent paper and pen to write down many messages.

Soon, we arrived at the Caoqiao Ferry on the riverside, five miles southeast of the East Gate.

The river here is wide, the water is slow and the beach is flat, with many ships and carriages traveling back and forth, connecting the capital with the outside world.

The government has done a lot of maintenance on the ferry, making the water clear and bright. Whenever the sun rises, the colorful light shines through the green grass and swaying willows on both sides of the river.

Such a beautiful scenery attracted many literati and idlers to stop and fish.

Shen Changsui specially found a small boat operated by an old man and asked the old man to row it in the direction of the capital and wait there. He had a hunch that Lu Guan would definitely leave today.

After swinging the rod into the water, he put on a bamboo hat, sat firmly on the bow and closed his eyes to rest. In fact, he was holding the pendant tightly and communicating with the little black cat.

The little black cat, who hadn't seen Hunxing for a long time, pulled him into the carriage. It envied the fish swimming in the water outside and said, "If he shows up, I promise to bring him in.

But you have to buy me some dried fish, the delicious kind."

"Yes." Shen Changsui was very skeptical whether he could eat it.

Little Black Cat: "Buy one and try it first."

You are such a clever little ghost! Shen Changsui had no choice but to ask the old man at the stern, but when he learned that there was nothing on the boat, he had no way to get it out immediately.

The little black cat refused, "I have to buy it. I won't care if he comes."

Shen Changsui had no choice but to ask the old man to row the boat to the ferry again. There were many people here carrying baskets and backpacks selling snacks for the passing merchants to taste.

On the old man's recommendation, he bought a bag of dried fish, which made the little black cat in the carriage meow with greed.

However, at this moment, Shen Changsui saw a group of people coming from a distance. It was clearly Captain Lu leading the way, with two guards, the Siti riders, riding on horses on both sides of a sedan chair.

He quickly pressed down his bamboo hat and quickly fed some dried fish to the little black cat. He covered his mouth and said, "Lu Guan is here. Can you call him in now?"

"Aren't you going on the boat?" The little black cat lay on the dried fish, but unfortunately he could only smell it but couldn't eat it. It felt so uncomfortable.

Of course Shen Changsui had to get on board, otherwise his body would easily attract attention if he stood there in a daze in public in the hall.

"Can you help me see which one they're sitting on?"

"Yes, I can see farther than a weak kitten."

"Can you see ten meters?"

"Hmph, I can see thirty meters."

"Awesome." Shen Changsui was basically certain that the little black cat did not come from an older ancient time. He picked some chicken beans and rice, but his eyes were always focused on the direction the sedan chair was moving.

Fortunately, the ferry was crowded and noisy, making it convenient for him to walk among the people and goods and watch.

After determining the location, he returned to the old man's boat calmly. On the other side, Lu Guan had already been carried on a sedan chair onto a boat that could carry both people and cargo.

"Oh, I can't see him anymore." The little black cat jumped up in the back seat of the car.

Shen Changsui chatted with the old man leisurely, asking him to turn to the center of the river and then row in the previous direction.

The little black cat was confused: "It's getting farther and farther away."

"No." Shen Changsui said to it attentively this time: "You will see him in a while."

"Will it?" The little black cat expressed its doubt, but before long, it saw the man on the boat following behind the boat. With a meow, it called Lu Guan into the car.

Suddenly changing places, Lu Guan hadn't had time to be surprised to see an extra cat, when he saw Shen Heng come in. He said happily, "I thought I would have to wait a long time before we could meet."

"To make a long story short, this is Linghe County under Shuntian Prefecture of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Your current father is... because before... I don't know anything more." Shen Changsui told him everything he knew as quickly as possible, his eyes always observing the distance between the two ships.

Fortunately, it was still within thirty meters, so there was no need to take the risk of asking him to take the letter back to read it.

Lu Guan nodded, "Pu Jiu, who is guarding me, calls me Lu Xiaosi, so he should be close to my original uncle's family.

How can we meet here? And what are your current identities and addresses? "

"Thirty meters away." Shen Changsui pointed at the little black cat and said, "It's all thanks to it. I, Shen Changsui and Shen Xiaoye, live in Jiuli Village, more than 20 miles northeast of the county seat."

"Okay," Lu Guan couldn't help but touch the cat's back. Just as he was about to say that he would come to find them when he was free, the little black cat pricked up its fur and meowed, and then he returned to his body.

The moment he regained consciousness, he saw Pu Jiu shaking him gently, "Lu Xiaosi."

"I'm here." Lu Guan grabbed his arm with his backhand and almost couldn't control himself and threw him out.

Pu Jiu's nervous expression subsided a little. He was really worried that he would suddenly vomit blood again. "The wind is strong. I'll send you to the warehouse."

"Thank you, Brother Jiu. I'm fine. I just suddenly remembered the scene of my father's teachings." Lu Guan covered his eyes with his right hand. He wanted to grasp more information.

Pu Jiu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Be more alert next time and don't get close to certain people."

Lu Guan said in a muffled voice: "Well, are my uncle and the others okay?"

Pu Jiu glanced at his companions who were standing at the stern guarding the horses, and said in a deep voice, "Go find the commander of the imperial guards and submit a petition for help."

"His job?" Lu Guan put down his hand.

Pu Jiu glared at him: "Did you leave the garden through the side door he was guarding?"
