Passing through the station

If there is one of the two who is more reluctant to bear the fat guys, it must be Chu Hao.

Chu Hao's pampering of animals is almost unprincipled.Ruan Bai would teach the two fat guys a lesson from time to time, but Chu Hao had been bitten by so many pairs of shoes by the fat guys, and he never really got angry.Half of the two demolition team members were accustomed to by Chu Hao.

However, just as Ruan Bai worried, even Chu Hao knew the situation in the capital better than Ruan Bai.Among other things, the third child's family will definitely not be as free in the capital as they are here in Shunyang Pass.

At Shunyang Pass, some people would not recognize General Cao and Chu Hao, but there would be no one who did not know the third child's family.Whether it is their appearance or the contribution/destruction they usually make, there are always people talking about it.

At the very least, those soldiers whose heels were bitten by the fat guys must remember the big fat and the small fat firmly.

It was still dark the next day, Ruan Bai's walnut eyes were swollen, and Chu Hao's eye sockets were also red, but they were not conspicuous among the crowd who stayed up all night without sleep.

Chu Hao ordered [-] soldiers yesterday, everything was ready, and the prison wagon that imprisoned the Hungarian prince also followed the team and arrived at the gate of the post station.

General Cao held the line in person, but because his foot injury is still not healed, he is now sitting in a carriage, which does not have a carriage, but a flatbed cart, which looks a little funny.

The things that should be explained have already been explained, and there was no special handover ceremony between General Cao and Chu Hao. They just lit up the prison car with a torch and checked to make sure that the Hungarian prince was alive.In just a few days, the great prince of the Huns has almost changed his appearance.You can smell the stench on your body without getting close, your clothes are torn, your whole head is covered with knotted hair and beard, and you can see some fleas crawling in and out...

Ruan Bai is also ready.His own mare, still with her calf, was obviously not good for pulling a cart.In order to keep up with the speed of the team, donkey carts and ox carts obviously cannot be used.Although this time it is official business, he can use the horses at the post station.But he originally thought that the two men didn't have many things, but after packing up, there were three carriages when they traveled.Chu Hao's books alone cost half a carload.

Chu Hao still felt a little lacking, and sighed: "My second brother is really good at supporting the family." In the end, Ruan Bai was wronged.

The three carriages were not full, and there was actually only one carriage when the luggage was full.The rest will be seated.Even Ruan Bai didn't intend to ride a horse all the time during the long journey.

Obsidian circled the carriage around and around, and was pushed aside by Ruan Bai with a slap: "Go away." Getting in the way, he pushed Chu Hao away again, "Go on your way."

Chu Hao has nothing to do now, but as the team leader this time, he will check the team again at the end.

The third child's family squatted at the door of the post station with some puzzlement, looking at Ruan Bai for a while, and Chu Hao for a while.

Ruan Bai had a sore nose, couldn't help the tears falling again, tried not to blink, ran to the side of General Cao, and said in a low voice: "Brother, the third child..."

General Cao patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, no one in Shunyang Pass will dare to bully their family when your elder brother is around!" Moreover, he felt that once Ruan Bai left, the third child and the others would go straight back to the grassland.

"Thank you, brother." Ruan Bai sniffed, feeling the warmth of his legs, bent over and hugged Fatty who was coming over, "Be good, Fatty."

Xiaopang hadn't woken up yet, his big head rested on Ruan Bai's shoulder, and he opened his mouth and yawned big.

Chu Hao walked to the front of the team and shouted: "Get on the horse!"

Ruan Bai let go of Fatty, and rolled onto Obsidian's back.

The sky was slightly bright, and the shadows of the white fang trees on both sides of the official road were indistinct.The autumn wind made people shrink their necks.

Tang Yan and the others sat in a spacious carriage and subconsciously rubbed their hands and faces.

The wheels creaked slightly, and the shoed horse started to trot.

Fatty tilted his head, stood up suddenly and rushed to the back of the line, barking wildly.

Fatty looked up at his father, and then saw his mother rushing over, slapping Fatty over.Big Fatty rolled around on the ground, and was a little dizzy when he got up.

The third child led Xiaopang to the official road, watching the team gradually turn into a small dot, and then disappear on the horizon.

The dust raised by the horse team slowly calmed down as the sun rose.The four dogs have been standing on the official road without moving.

General Cao didn't move. He sat on the cart, drove away the others, and watched them silently.Until Zhang Dahu came out again, and called out: "The third, the fourth, the fat and the fat, it's time to eat!"

The third child shook his ears, looked back at Zhang Dahu, and did not move.

Xiaopang moved, and ran fast, passing Zhang Dahu without stopping.After a while, it came out with a big backpack in its mouth.

This backpack was made by Ruan Bai and Chu Hao.The third and fourth children are not used to it, and there is one for the fat and the fat.Ruan Bai would often prepare some food and water to put in it.

Xiaopang put the backpack at Zhang Dahu's feet and motioned him to help him carry it.After the backpack was secured, it quickly ran to the third child: "Wow!"

Big Fatty also followed Little Fatty into the door, also carried his bulging backpack, and turned his head to face the direction of the grassland.

Seeing this, General Cao heaved a long sigh, and said to the guards driving, "Let's go, send them out."

The gates of Guancheng facing the grasslands are basically closed except for patrolling soldiers entering and leaving.But the number of guards is the largest.

On this day, the soldiers guarding the city gate saw General Cao with their own eyes, and sent four dogs out of the city gate, and sent them a long way...

Chu Hao walked at the front of the team, no one knew what expression was on his face.

Ruan Bai walked in the middle of the team. Obsidian was a bit taller than ordinary horses. His little white face stood out among the pile of soy sauce eggs. As the sun rose, his walnut eyes were like red lanterns hanging high. .

Several nearby soldiers glanced at him, and then again after a while.

Ruan Bai was troubled by the small eyes, turned around and gave them a fierce look, gritted his teeth and said, "I told you to look at the prisoner, am I a prisoner?"

Several soldiers trembled all over, their backs straightened even more: "Thank you, Mr. Ruan, for your reminder."

They are all the elite around Chu Hao, especially the circle guarding the prison car, the weakest is the general flag.This is because the military merits of this war have not yet been distributed, otherwise more than half of them will be able to rise one more level.

Escorting the great prince of the Huns, the road will never be peaceful.As the last line of defense in the team, it goes without saying how heavy their responsibilities are.Unfortunately, they were distracted just now, fortunately Ruan Bai reminded them.

Just after leaving Shunyang Pass, there will be no problems in this section of the road.There must be Hungarian forces in the pass, whether it is the Hungarians who sneaked in, or the secret works bought by the Hungarians, there will be no shortage.There are also some desperadoes who are willing to be used by the Huns as long as the price is sufficient.

But this area is not far from the border where the army is stationed, and they have just set off, and all of them are strong and energetic.An idiot would not choose to do it at this time.

This kind of escort made people's spirits very tense, and Twitch's order actually made them have to take the Hungarian prince through the streets along the way...

Well, he can understand that this is to improve the morale of the people.Just like two adults fighting, Zhang San was always beaten to the point of bleeding by Li Si, and Li Si was so shameless that he often beat the old man and the boy.This time Zhang San raised his eyebrows, not only broke one of Li Si's legs, but also captured Li Si's son alive, he quickly took him out for a walk, and showed his children, your father is still very capable!

But there are too many variables that will be encountered in the middle.

Ruan Bai is especially not used to this kind of fighting between the dark and the clear.In the past, he was the one who secretly figured out things and made plans.

When passing through Leyang Town, it was still early, and almost no obstacles were encountered, so we walked through it directly.Thirty miles ahead, there will be a post station, where the team will stop, eat something, and let the horses rest.

They will pass through a total of 97 such post stations along the way, representing nearly [-] miles, equivalent to [-] kilometers.However, the establishment of the station will not strictly abide by the standard of one station in thirty miles.Dazhou has a vast territory, from Shunyang Pass to the capital, there are countless mountains and rivers in between.

Ruan Bai is a courier, of course he knows that there are "urgent" categories in the delivery message, usually three hundred miles urgent, that is, a day to travel three hundred miles; the fastest six hundred miles urgent, that is, a one-day run Six hundred miles away.

What is the speed of the horse running continuously?Like Obsidian, it can run up to [-] kilometers per hour at the fastest, which is almost the speed of a medium-sized motorcycle, and it won't last long.Thanks to the configuration in the current team, as well as horse-drawn carriages and prison carts, it can last for an hour and twenty miles, which is comparable to a lady-shaped small battery.Still have to remove the break time...

Ruan Bai felt powerless after thinking about it, how long would it take to walk?

As the team set off again, the temperature rose.It was getting hot and stuffy in the carriage. In the carriage, Fang Yu and Mr. Zhang were sitting on one side, and Tang Yan and the other three were sitting opposite.

Tang Yan moved his butt uncomfortably, looking for something to say: "It's getting hot."

Mr. Zhang suffered a serious crime at Shunyang Pass, and he was in a trance.It's not that General Cao made him short of eating and drinking. Although he lost a little weight, it was definitely not skinny.And probably because he didn't see the sun, his whole body was a lot paler, sitting with Fang Yu, a man from the grassland, was like black and white impermanence.

When he was eating just now, he probably finally found out that the carriage had left the boundary of Shunyang Pass, so he immediately shook up and yelled at Chu Hao: "Absurd! How dare you treat me like this? When I get to the capital, Zhang will definitely report to His Majesty." Ming, let His Majesty convict you!"

Chu Hao didn't move his expression, he just knocked Master Zhang unconscious with a punch, and ordered: "Come on, Master Zhang is motion sick, help him to the car quickly." After speaking, he didn't even look at Master Zhang who was unconscious on the ground, just walked away.

Tang Yan and the others didn't have much affection for Mr. Zhang.Besides, they are literati who have no strength to restrain a chicken, how can they move such a heavy person?They pretended not to see them, and they ate and drank water.

Relying on his nepotism, this person was exceptionally promoted to the Ministry of Industry. There are usually five people and six people in the yamen. Except for Lord Shangshu, even a few servants don't pay attention.This kind of weirdness is also rare in the world, and everyone in the Ministry of Industry regards it as a joke, depending on when this "uncle of the country" kills himself.

However, Mr. Zhang didn't know it at all, and thought that everyone was giving him face, so he became more and more rampant.Now that he's directly rampant in front of Chu Hao, he still wants the emperor to condemn Chu Hao, what crime?Don't say that Chu Hao is not guilty, to put it bluntly, Chu Hao killed him, let's see if the emperor will convict him?

As soon as Chu Hao made his statement, the soldiers below naturally followed suit.One by one was busy packing the horses' bags, and when they were about to leave, someone carried Mr. Zhang and threw them into the carriage, and then Fang Yu put them in the least obstructive/most stuffy corner.

Fang Yu looks like a mother. After shaving off his beard, his facial features look like a Zhou person. Except for his tall stature, there is nothing surprising about it.

Tang Yan and the others only knew that Fang Yu came back with Chu Hao, but they didn't know the details, and they didn't dare to inquire about it. "Motion sickness" was definitely not a correct way to travel.

When talking to people, Fang Yu's reaction was always two or three beats slower, and he still couldn't understand Da Zhou's words, so his reaction was even slower.After Tang Yan finished speaking and waited for a long time, Fang Yu kept staring at him in a daze, Tang Yan felt uncomfortable being watched by him.

Fang Yu: "Yes."

Tang Yan: What are you doing?I have forgotten what I asked you just now!

Fang Yu continued to stare blankly at Tang Yan. After a while, he seemed to remember something, took out a small notebook from a hidden compartment, and handed it to Tang Yan: "Teach." That's what Ergou said~ Tang Yan I took the small book, and there was a large character on the top of each page, and there were only ten characters in total.Although I don't quite understand why he turned into a schoolteacher for a dignified official of the Ministry of Industry, but anyway, he is just sitting, and it is not difficult to teach ten characters.Besides, being a teacher is better than being stared at all the time.

Tang Yan turned the booklet to the first page: "The first word..."

"Tuk-tuk", there were two light knocks on the carriage, Fang Yu opened the curtain to take a look, and greeted with a smile: "Ergou... good!"

Ruan Bai was riding on the side of the obsidian, and said helplessly, "Hi Mao Mao." After greeting, he stretched out his hand and hooked into the carriage, moving lightly like a butterfly.

When he got into the carriage, he didn’t sit still, but stretched out his hands to support the roof of the carriage. There were two clicks, and a hole was opened in the middle of the roof. He stretched out his hand again, and a light blue gauze made the hot air burn. The sun was blocked, leaving only the breeze blowing in.

When it was done, Ruan Bai turned it out again: "Maomao is serious about following Mr. Tang to learn how to read."

Fang Maomao: "Yes."

Ruan Bai smiled, and rode the obsidian back to the side of the prison car.Prison vans are originally "open tops", which are much more luxurious than the sunroof version.

There was no rest at noon, and I ate some dry food on horseback when I was hungry.

Knowing that it was the first time for Ruan Bai to leave Shunyang Pass so far, Chu Hao took some time to come over and explain: "This journey is not bad, try to reach Yongting Station before sunset today."

So I didn't rest all the way. Fortunately, the land here is sparsely populated, and there are no decent cities. Occasionally passing by two or three small towns, the common people were so frightened that their legs were weak when they saw the cavalry team of more than 200 people. Don't dare to approach.

Even so, it was Yongting Station that arrived at nearly Xushi.It had been dark for a while.

Without further explanation, Ruan Bai knew why Chu Hao had to come here.From a long distance, he could see the dark shadows of the mountains, and now at the foot of the mountains, even if he could only see a little bit, the feeling of being surrounded by cliffs seemed to be pressed down, making people very uncomfortable.

The Yi Cheng of Yongting Station is a gray-haired old man, and there are only two other postmen.Seeing so many of them, the old man almost fell on his back in fright, but Ruan Bai had a sharp eye and quick hands, and grabbed him. After verifying the official documents, the old Yi Cheng felt relieved.

The old postman held the lampstand and walked ahead to lead the way: "You all come in, there is not enough room in the station, and there is not enough food."

Yongting Station is just like this old post office. The houses are very old. If you step on it, you can make teeth-gritting noises.

Ruan Bai followed suit: "It doesn't matter, prepare as many as you can. See how many people can live in?" At night, people have to arrange a vigil, and it is impossible for everyone to sleep.Although the post house looked old, it was not a small place. If there was a floor shop, it would probably fit seventy or eighty people.

For this kind of official business, in fact, greetings have already been made in advance with the post stations in various places.The post station was originally like a guest house, and it had to provide board and lodging for officials coming and going, as well as standards.It's just a hello, in such a short period of time, if more than 200 people can be raised to eat and drink, it is estimated that Ruan Bai alone can do it.You must know that the life of post stations in remote areas like this is very hard.Moreover, even if Yicheng took official documents to the local county government to ask for money and food... Hehe, what kind of onion is Yicheng?

Even if Ruan Bai has no common sense, he will always plan ahead.After the autumn harvest, they didn't lack food, and the weather turned cold, so things were easy to preserve. They prepared dry food for three days overnight, and they also brought enough rice noodles. Everyone kept their own part.As for seasonings and even simple cooking utensils, Ruan Bai packed them in his luggage.

After a day of riding in a carriage/riding a horse, everyone got off the ground and walked around twice.Ruan Bai noticed that there were about twenty riders quietly hiding in the night, and they should have gone to investigate the surroundings.

Then, they picked up a lot of firewood and came back with a bunch of pheasants and a bunch of rabbits.

Ruan Bai: You really deserve to be an elite.The lights in the house are not very bright, and the outside is almost invisible, and I don't know how they hunt.

They didn't bring any special support personnel, and the gang leaders were mercilessly/defaulted to stay in the rear.

Of course, it is obviously unrealistic for Ruan Bai to take care of the meals of more than 200 people.At this time, the benefits of strength in numbers are revealed.

Peel the skin, wash it, cut it into pieces, set up the cauldron, and light the firewood.One pot of chicken soup, one pot of fried rabbit meat.The chicken soup is used to soak the dry cakes produced by Huotoubing, and the rabbit meat can only be divided into a very small piece.

Soon, there was only the faint sound of eating in the entire station.

Everyone knows that eating without sound is one of the codes of conduct for a more particular family.But there are very few people who can really do this, including a few Beijing officials, Chu Hao is the only one here.

Chu Hao is definitely not that boring, he trains his soldiers as if they were rich ladies.The reason for this situation is that it was on the grassland before.During the Grassland War, the main force was of course the Cao family army. These people led by Chu Hao were all scouts. Occasionally, when they encountered a small group of Huns, they went up and wiped them out.

When a scout, the first point is concealment.Don't you haven't discovered the enemy yet, be discovered by the enemy first.Do you eat "boldly" or take care of your life?Choose one of the two, of course choose the latter.There is no need for Chu Hao to emphasize that this is a habit formed by all those who have experienced that period of time.

It's just that this habit looks a little scary in the eyes of others.

Under the faint light, two hundred people were squatting, eating quietly...

At least Tang Yan and the others couldn't eat.The old postman's face was even paler, and he didn't dare to say anything with the two postmen.

One day away, in the Shunyang post, six post soldiers couldn't sleep at night, and they didn't speak, so they just found a table and sat around.

Tang Xinhou yawned.

Zhang Dahu seemed to wake up with a start: "It's so late, the vigilante, everyone else should go to bed. Tomorrow will be the same, get up in the morning to run and punch."

"Yes." The remaining five people responded in unison.

Ruan Bai explained before leaving, let Zhang Dahu temporarily act as Yi Cheng, and Xu Liu as assistant.But Tang Xinhou, who has always had the best grades, is still the same as the old man.

Tang Xinhou himself did not feel that he was being put on small shoes, but the two postmen who followed him complained about his injustice, and after returning to the dormitory, they went around to the stable again.

Tang Xinhou has a dormitory, but he prefers to live in a stable.Of course, even the stables have been meticulously arranged by Ruan Bai, with independent single rooms and everything one expects.

Two postmen came in, one of them closed the door, and the other said, "Brother Tang, why did your lord let Brother Da Hu be the postman?"

Another person interjected: "That's right, Mingming Brother Tang, you are the first in every evaluation."

Tang Xinhou looked at the two with a half-smile, and his tattooed face became more distorted and hideous because of the slight change in expression: "Brother Tang, you are tired enough to serve so many ancestors by yourself. Why do you still Do you want to give Big Brother Tang some work?"

"Brother Tang, we didn't mean that!"

"that is……"

"All right, all right." Tang Xinhou waved his hand, "My lord is going to the capital, and he will be back in a month or two."

"But we don't think the adult looks like walking for a month or two, it looks like moving!"

Tang Xinhou grinned wider: "Oh? You also went to see the adults move?"

The two cried out again and again: "How dare we?!"

Tang Xinhou sent off the two postmen in a few words, and smacked his lips: "Tsk."

The author has something to say: People are not as good as dogs

Soldier A (ノへ￣,): I can't beat the fat man.

Soldier B (ノへ￣,): The food is not as good as the fat man.

Soldier C (ノへ￣,): Fatty still has a backpack, but I don’t.

Soldier Ding (ノへ￣,): Fatty also has adults from thousands of households serving meals, bathing and sleeping, and I don’t even have one.
