Chapter 1244: Safe
Little Treasure and the others walked on the unobstructed official road with the farm produce. Although they were slow due to the fact that they were now traveling on foot, fortunately, there were no longer assassins suddenly jumping out to assassinate them.
When Little Treasure saw a scholar carrying a briefcase on his back, he quickly gave a look to the guard beside him. The guard immediately chased after the scholar with a smile on his face.
Not long after, the scholar in front stopped and took out a piece of paper, envelope, brush, and ink from his basket...
The scholar wrote the name of the recipient on the envelope, then raised his head and asked gently: "Uncle, what content would you like to include in this letter?"
The guard almost couldn’t help but touch his face. Thinking that there was no mistake in calling him uncle with his current image, he hurriedly said, "There’s no need to write anything. My eldest nephew said that if I were to seek refuge with him, just tell the servant at the door that it’s someone from his hometown. Hand him a blank letter and he’ll know that I’m here."
The scholar put the letter into the envelope and smiled: "Your nephew is quite interesting."
The guard gave him a few copper coins as compensation and returned with the envelope.
At night, Little Treasure took out the Crown Prince’s seal and stamped it on the empty letter paper.
There were many people rushing to Jinan like Little Treasure and his group, so after dark, someone suggested that everyone rest by the official road and look out for each other at night.
It was common for people to help each other when they were outside, so Little Treasure, Little Bear, and the others also stopped and leaned against each other in twos and threes.
