Lu Xuanbo followed behind Zhao Junsheng, and kept calling for the accompanying soldiers to bring the straw sandals he had bought.

After they were all loaded into the carriage, he asked suspiciously, "Young Master, why are you buying so many straw sandals under such heavy snowfall?"

"Of course it's for the soldiers. If we receive food and supplies tomorrow, we have to rush back to Jinling. If the road is frozen on the way, let the soldiers put a pair of straw sandals on the outside of the shoes to prevent slipping and moisture. If you don't wear straw sandals , the road is slippery, and the shoes are soaked in snow, how can we hurry?"

It was only then that Lu Xuanbo felt that this soldier had a lot of knowledge, and he was a little puzzled: "Master, you have never led a soldier before, how do you know so much?"

"I have never led soldiers, but my grandfather has!"

Lu Xuanbo was speechless.

Several people drove the carriage to the entire Shanwu County, and Zhao Junsheng bought all the straw sandals, and finally made up more than [-] pairs. Everyone who came to Shanwu County this time A pair would be available, but the money he brought was more or less spent.

Early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng walked out of the tent, and his eyes were covered in silver and white. The snow had stopped, but the snow on the ground had already covered his ankles.

The cold wind was still raging, the soldiers brought hot water from the kitchen with the copper basin bought yesterday, Zhao Junsheng washed himself up, and ate a large bowl of corn porridge and some steamed buns with pickles.

"Uncle Lu Xuan, bring the official documents, let's go to the mansion of the Governor General!" Zhao Junsheng called out, and ordered his soldiers to bring the horse.

Lu Xuanbo agreed: "Yes, young master!"

A few people rode horses and followed a large group of people into the city. The snow on the street was swept away by shopkeepers and waiters along both sides of the street, and there were still many pedestrians coming and going.

Zhao Junsheng and others soon arrived at the military governor's mansion, and the two people standing guard at the door were still the same as yesterday.

"Please inform me that Zhao Junsheng, Lieutenant of the garrison of Huaishuo town, has come to see Governor Dabo!"

The soldier on the left looked at Zhao Junsheng and said, "It's you again. You may have made another trip in vain today. With so much snow yesterday, my governor may have been stranded on the way and could not return!"

Zhao Junsheng was rather disappointed. Today is the third day since he arrived here. It took two days to come here, and four days have passed. It will take at least three days to escort a large amount of food and grass supplies back. That is to say, he can at most He could only wait another three days, but the governor's quartermaster was not here, and he couldn't lead his troops to the warehouse to rob, so he could only continue to wait.

For the next two days, Zhao Junsheng was unable to see Dabo Xinyi. His pressure was increasing, and the weather did not improve. It was snowing and the temperature was getting lower and lower.

On the sixth day, the ice and snow began to melt, and Zhao Junsheng was still not happy. The result of the melting of ice and snow was that the ground was covered with mud. To the Dabo Lutheran Governor.

"Brother, we really can't wait any longer. There are still thousands of people waiting for dinner in the barracks. If there is no food and something happens, it will be a catastrophe!"

Zhao Junsheng explained anxiously to the sentry soldier at the gate of the quartermaster's mansion, and quietly handed over a piece of gold to the man, "A little kindness, treat my brother to a meal, help!"

Chapter 139 Goodbye Wan Yutong

Unexpectedly, when the soldier saw the gold in his hand, he immediately flew into a rage: "Bold, I am guarding the gate for the governor, and I am trusted by the governor, yet you bribed me with dirty means? I have already said that the governor is not in the mansion, you If you keep messing around here again, don't blame me for asking people to arrest you all and put them in prison! Why don't you retreat quickly?"

Lu Xuanbo hurriedly pulled Zhao Junsheng away. Zhao Jun couldn't be more angry, and burst into a rage: "How important are the military supplies, food, grass and supplies? He, a military governor, is not working in the official residence for several days. This is a serious dereliction of duty! After returning, the official Be sure to report to our military master and ask him to submit a copy to the imperial court!"

Lu Xuanbo's face changed drastically, he immediately covered Zhao Junsheng's mouth, dragged him away, and apologized repeatedly to the sentry soldiers at the gate of the mansion: "I'm sorry, Jun, my captain got too drunk in the morning and was already drunk. I'm unconscious, please don't blame me!"

"It turns out he's a drunk, and I've been telling him for so long, get out of here!" The sentry guard waved and scolded like he was chasing flies with disgust on his face.

Lu Xuanbo hurriedly dragged Zhao Junsheng away.

In the quartermaster's mansion, a rather obese middle-aged official was practicing calligraphy at his desk. The soldier who had just driven Zhao Junsheng away went into the study and reported to the middle-aged official: "Master, they are gone!"

As Tuobasong's son-in-law, Dabo Xinyi's official career has always been smooth.The Dabo tribe is only a small tribe among the Xianbei tribes, with a small number of people and not strong enough soldiers and horses, but who made him have a very powerful father-in-law?

Dabo Xinyi stopped writing when he heard the words, and sighed: "Finally gone, Tuoba Ye's favor is not easy to get!"

The soldier hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master, if they come again tomorrow..."

Dabo thought for a while, and ordered the soldiers: "Tomorrow, delay them for another day, tell them that I will definitely come back the next morning, and let them bring their official documents and lists of food and supplies to the Governor's Mansion, and let their horses and chariots go directly to the warehouse door to wait. Hey, this is already the limit of what I can do, if it continues, once Wandu Guizhen writes a letter to impeach me because of this matter, I won't have enough reasons to explain it!"

"Yes, sir!"

Zhao Junsheng was dragged away by Lu Xuanbo to break away from Lu Xuanbo's control, glaring at him and shouting: "Why are you pulling me? There must be something wrong with Dabo's faith. I don't believe that he, the governor of military supplies, dares to stay away from the official residence for several days. Business!"

Lu Xuanbo smiled wryly: "Young Master, if I hadn't pulled you and let you do whatever you want, we would have been arrested and locked up in a big prison now. I can see something is wrong with this matter, we have no grudges against this Chief of Military Supplies, right? ?”

"Master, I haven't seen him in eight lifetimes, how can I have any grudge against him?" Zhao Junsheng walked forward with a depressed expression.

Lu Xuanbo followed him, frowning tightly: "This is strange... Dabo Xinyi shouldn't embarrass the young master for no reason, is it because the young master didn't give him tribute?"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "It's definitely not the case. If he has such a need, he will definitely meet me. If he doesn't say it in person, at least he will hint at it? But if he doesn't even see me, then it's not like he didn't pay tribute The problem!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Junsheng wiped his eyes and looked around the crowd in front of him.

Lu Xuanbo saw that he seemed to be looking for someone, "Master, who are you looking for?"

"I seem to have seen an acquaintance!" Zhao Junsheng immediately added

Quickly walk forward.

After searching around for a long time, Zhao Junsheng finally saw a familiar figure in front of a steamed stuffed bun shop, walked over and called, "Xiao Cui!"

The woman in front of the steamed stuffed bun shop turned her head when she heard the words, and it was indeed Xiao Cui. When she saw Zhao Junsheng, she also showed a surprised expression on her face: "Zhao Canjun, why are you here? You are still wearing armor ?”

"I arrived in Jinling a few days ago, and now I am still working under the command of General Wan. I am the captain of the heavy soldiers and responsible for escorting food and grass! Why are you here? Could it be... your lady also lives here in Shanwu county seat?"

"yes······"

"I can

Want to visit your lady?This is all here, if I don't visit her, if she finds out afterwards, she might blame me so much! " Zhao Junsheng asked.

Xiaocui knew something about Wan Yutong and Zhao Junsheng. She didn't want Zhao Junsheng to meet Wan Yutong, but she knew that since Zhao Junsheng came here, he would meet Wan Yutong sooner or later. Tong knew that she was the one who prevented them from meeting, so she would definitely blame her.

"Well, the road is not far away, I'll take you there!" Xiaocui hesitated for a while and finally agreed.

The two walked forward side by side while talking.

After less than a cup of tea, Zhao Junsheng, Lu Xuanbo and others followed Xiaocui to the gate of an ordinary courtyard, but there were two vicious soldiers standing guard at the gate.

"You guys wait outside!" Zhao Junsheng called Lu Xuanbo and the others, and followed Xiaocui into the courtyard.

Chirping birds could be heard in the yard, and Wan Yutong, wearing a white sable fur cloak, was sitting by the fireplace in front of the window embroidering, with meticulous stitches and threads, and an extremely focused expression.

Footsteps sounded, Wan Yutong did not raise her head, she continued to embroider, she knew that Xiaocui must be back, and asked, "Xiaocui, what are you eating this morning?"

"The maid cooked porridge and bought steamed buns...do you see who is here?" Xiaocui asked with a smile standing in the yard.

Wan Yutong thought it was Wan Du who had returned, and a smile appeared on his face: "Grandpa is back, right? I still have a little bit left to embroider!"

No one answered outside.

Wan Yutong's long eyelashes blinked, and he slowly raised his head. The expression on his face remained unchanged, but his eyes showed surprise. He immediately got up and walked to the door to look at Zhao Junsheng.

At this moment, in Zhao Junsheng's eyes, Wan Yutong was dressed in furs, her hair was exquisitely dressed, elegant and refined, she looked like a fairy in the picture, but she was wearing a pair of sandals (slippers) on her feet. The outer feet are wrapped in white foot wraps.

Zhao Junsheng smiled slightly and clasped his fists together: "Less than two months, we met again, I met Miss!"
