Congrats to the boss and his brother

Chi Jingyao and Ruan Baozi?, and set off with the two people at the station that day.

Among the two people walking together, the black-faced young man is named Lu Ming. Will not let go.

Another relatively fair young man named Dong Chang'an, his words were relatively few, but rather calm.

"Today we can take you for a ride, but tomorrow we can ride by ourselves!" Lu Ming said to Ruan Baozi and Chi Jingyao.

Chi Jingyao had learned to ride a horse when he was in the southern border, but it was the first time in his life for Ruan Baozi.

"I thought I would take a carriage." Ruan Baozi whispered.

"Do you know how far we are from the border town?" Lu Ming said, "If we were in a carriage, when would we have walked slowly?"

Qizhou is not too close to the border city, but it is not too far away. If it is a fast horse, it can arrive in a few days, but if you change the carriage, the speed will be completely different.Lu Ming and Dong Chang'an were going to the border towns to deliver letters, so naturally it was impossible to use a horse-drawn carriage.

"Brother Dong, are you also sending the military newspapers to and from the border town?" Chi Jingyao asked Dong Chang'an.

"Military newspapers are all escorted by special personnel on fast horses, and Lu Ming and I only communicate with family letters." Dong Chang'an said: "There are not only Qizhou battalions in the border town, but also people from the Zhongdu and Xizhou battalions. Generals and soldiers come from all over the world, and there are family letters that have been handed down to us from the southern border to Qizhou."

The family letters from other places will be sent here through the post station, and finally sent to the border town by Lu Ming and Dong Chang'an.

Afterwards, they would bring the family letters from Border City back to the Qizhou post station, and send them out one by one by the same route.

"Why did you send it to the border town instead of the people at the back station?" Chi Jingyao asked puzzled.

"This rule was set by General Yangcheng." Dong Chang'an said, "Because two years ago? It was the border town where the Qizhou camp went first, so Qizhou has the most family letters. He doesn't worry about going back and forth in the middle. He intentionally arranged for a few of us to pass letters from home to and fro."

Later, the war? Although it expanded, the rules remained.

So Lu Ming and Dong Chang'an went northward, and they would also collect letters sent from other post stations to border towns.

Chi Jingyao immediately remembered that the family letter he passed on to Pei Ye when he was in the southern border should also be passed on by Dong Changan and the others.Thinking of it this way, he couldn't help feeling a little kind to Dong Changan and Lu Ming.

They traveled for nearly a day, and they arrived at the post station when it was dark.

According to what Lu Ming meant? Because the four of them rode two horses, the speed of the horses was too slow.

"You can't leave like this tomorrow." Lu Ming said, "I'll say hello to the station tonight and help you get two more horses. Tomorrow you'll each ride on the road."

Ruan Baozi? Hearing this, he felt a little worried, and said to Chi Jingyao, "Is there still time for me to go back now?"

"You really want to go back?" Chi Jingyao asked.

He shook his head and said: "My uncle finally agreed to let me follow you. If I go back, I don't think I will ever come to the border town again."

"Why did Uncle Qiu agree to let you come out?" Chi Jingyao puzzled, "I thought he wouldn't agree."

"My uncle knows that everyone in my family was killed by bandits. He said that the man is a man. He can't look forward if he carries the past on his back." Ruan Baozi said: "And the man is strong and strong. ?Do something for the country.”

Hearing this, Lu Ming smiled and said, "If you want to serve your country, you have to join the army. If you follow us to the border town, you won't be able to fight the enemy."

"You don't know, our Ah Yao is a doctor, and I'm his drug boy." Ruan Baozi said, "We can save many people by going to the border town, and that's also serving our country."

"Tsk!" Lu Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "Then little drug boy, can you ride a horse by yourself tomorrow?"

Ruan Baozi? He choked on his words and fell silent for a while, then looked at Chi Jingyao for help.

"When I was learning how to ride a horse in the southern border, my senior brother only told me to hold on to the reins, and then I slapped the horse's buttocks, and I ran away with the horse." Chi Jingyao said: "It's dangerous to think about it now, but it's so dangerous to run away." One trip, that's it? I learned it inexplicably."

Of course, he can't do it fast or on difficult roads, but he can still make a living on ordinary horseback riding.

Chi Jingyao thinks that riding a horse is a bit similar to swimming. If you throw someone into the water, he will be able to figure it out with a few thumps.But for some people, it is very difficult to learn. After tossing for ten days and a half months, it will sink to the bottom of the pool.

"How about this, you will ride with me tomorrow, get used to it first, after a few days you will get used to it, and then ride by yourself." Chi Jingyao looked at Lu Ming after finishing speaking, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, do you think this is good?"

Lu Mingben didn't intend to embarrass them, and they were not bad at sending letters, so he agreed.

In the next few days, Chi Jingyao and Ruan Baozi rode together, letting him sit in front of the horse and control the horse.

Ruan Baozi? He learned quickly. In just a few days, he was able to ride in style.

It was the first time for both of them to ride such a long distance on horseback. Within a few days, wounds appeared on their legs.

After arriving at the inn every day, the first thing Chi Jingyao did was to find out the ointment, and rub the ointment on each other's legs with Ruan Baozi.

"Oh!" Lu Ming opened the door and went in. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly said, "I forgot to knock on the door."

Chi Jingyao hurriedly put on his trousers, then heard Lu Ming say again: "Both of your legs are worn out, why don't we take a day off tomorrow before we go on our way?"

"It doesn't matter." How could Chi Jingyao have the nerve? To delay them, he hurriedly said: "My wound medicine is very powerful. I apply it once every night before going to bed, and apply it again in the morning. It doesn't hurt much."

"It's like this at the beginning of horseback riding, but it's fine once you get used to it." Lu Ming said.

"Brother Lu came to see us, what's the matter?" Chi Jingyao asked.

Lu Ming hurriedly said: "We rest at the post station every day on this road, but tomorrow's section of the road is special, because it is far away from the next post station, so every time we come here, we have to sleep outside One night."

"Would it be possible to freeze to death in such a cold day?" Ruan Baozi asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I won't let you really sleep outside. There are many ruined temples nearby." Lu Ming said, "Just to tell you in advance, get a good sleep tonight, and when you leave tomorrow, bring Put on a quilt? When we come back, we will return it to them at the inn along the way."

Lu Ming said and left.

Chi Jingyao went to close the door and came back. He was about to continue to give medicine to "Ruan Baozi", but he heard the big guy squatting by the window "Zhi Zhi" twice.

"What's wrong?" Chi Jingyao opened the window and took a look outside. It was dark outside, and there was no special movement.He closed the window, hugged the elder brother to comfort him for a while, the elder brother was not stable all the time, and looked a little anxious.

"Is it too cold, it's not used to it?" Ruan Baozi asked.

As they got closer and closer to the border town, the temperature did drop day by day.

Chi Jingyao thought for a while, and said, "I'll put him in the cloak tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he put the boss on the couch, went to the window and inserted the latch of the window, and then went to fix the bolt of the door.

Probably because of lingering fears about what happened before, Chi Jingyao didn't sleep well that night.

Fortunately, I spent the night safely, and there was nothing unusual.

The next day everyone continued on their way, and in the evening they finally arrived at the ruined temple that Lu Ming had mentioned.

"This section of the road is quite a toss every time." Dong Chang'an tied the horses of the people outside the ruined temple, and said, "There is no village in the front and no shop in the back. Only this ruined temple is in a good location. We Every time I rest here."

Chi Jingyao went in and took a look. The inside of this dilapidated temple was not particularly decadent, probably because people often rested their feet, the dust inside was not thick, and there were even a few piles of straw mats on the walls on both sides.

Chi Jingyao and Ruan Baozi untied the quilt they brought, first spread a layer of burlap on the straw mat, and then spread the quilt.

"Have some dry food in a while? Go to sleep, get up early tomorrow, maybe you can have a hot meal at noon." Lu Ming said.

"Brother Lu, should we take turns keeping watch?" Chi Jingyao asked.

Lu Ming smiled and said: "You are a storybook? You? Have you read too much? All we carry are family letters. Firstly, it is not important. Secondly, there is no gold and silver. Thirdly, although you two look good She's pretty, but she's not a big girl either, who would come here to make trouble with us? You just? Go to sleep, okay? "

Although Chi Jingyao felt that what he said made sense, he was still a little worried.

Because things like ruined temples are standard for accidents in film and television works, it is really hard for him to feel at ease in it now.

That night, both Lu Ming and Dong Changan took a rest early.

Chi Jingyao nestled under the quilt with the boss in his arms, but he never fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, he heard a neighing sound from outside, and hurriedly stuffed the boss into Ruan Baozi's blanket, tiptoed to the door, and took a peek outside.There is only one and a half doors left in this dilapidated temple, and the gap in the door is wide enough for a person to slip through directly.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt something strange behind him, and then his mouth and nose were covered by someone.

Chi Jingyao was so frightened that he wanted to shout, but his mouth and nose were covered and he couldn't make a sound.

"Shh." Dong Chang'an's voice rang in his ears, and he whispered: "It's me, let me go, don't make a sound."

Chi Jingyao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and nodded hurriedly.

Dong Changan let go of him, motioning him to hide behind him.

It was only then that Chi Jingyao realized that Dong Changan hadn't slept at all, or hadn't slept soundly.So when the horse neighed, he woke up.

"Someone is coming." Dong Chang'an whispered, and he pulled out the dagger from his waist.

Chi Jingyao took out a pack of medicinal powder from the storage space and stuffed it into his hand, then made two gestures of raising his hands at him, and another gesture of covering his nose.

Dong Changan understood and motioned Chi Jingyao to hide behind the altar.

Seeing that the people outside had already arrived at the door, Chi Jingyao didn't have time to wake up Lu Ming and Ruan Baozi. He could only dodge and hide behind the altar according to Dong Chang'an's instructions, thinking about adapting to the situation.

At the same time, he took out his two throwing knives and held them in his hands, forcing himself to calm down.

The people outside walked to the door, stretched out their hands and pushed gently on the door.

Taking advantage of the moment the other party entered the door, Dong Chang'an threw out the medicine powder in his hand.

However, because he was too nervous, he did not follow Chi Jingyao's instructions to sprinkle out the medicine powder, but directly threw the medicine bag out.The medicine bag hit the person who came, and barely spilled out, and then fell to the ground with a thud.

Dong Changan: ...

Chi Jingyao: ...

The visitor was only stunned for a moment, stepped forward and kicked Dong Changan to the ground, and then moved swiftly with a knife to stab Dong Changan.Dong Chang'an roared and dodged to dodge.

At the same time, another person came to Lu Ming who was lying on the ground.

The man gestured at Lu Ming with a knife, and heard his companion say in a deep voice, "Be gentle, don't get your clothes dirty."

Hearing this, the man changed the hilt of the knife to face down, and threw it at Lu Ming.

Chi Jingyao didn't think much about it, and suddenly shot the throwing knife in his hand.

However, Lu Ming was one step ahead of him, and suddenly grabbed the man's skirt and pulled him down. Chi Jingyao's throwing knife was about to hit his wrist, but it flew past his head and pierced him. on the other wall.

The person being dragged by Lu Ming twitched a few times, then lay down next to Lu Ming and remained still.

This person probably didn't expect that Lu Ming was not asleep, so he was unprepared. He was stabbed in the heart by Lu Ming, and he was silent for a while.

The person who dealt with Dong Chang'an reacted very quickly, and he didn't want to fight when he saw that the momentum was not good. He kicked up Dong Chang'an's medicine bag that was still on the ground just now, and then swiped the long knife in his hand to put the medicine bag inside the medicine bag. The powder of the medicine was thrown towards Dong Chang'an on the ground.

"Be careful!" Chi Jingyao hurriedly reminded.

Dong Chang'an quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hands, the man took the opportunity to stab Dong Chang'an with the long knife in his hand, and then rushed out the door.

"Boss!" Chi Jingyao didn't have time to think, and chased him out with the remaining flying knife in his hand.

If this person was allowed to run away, they would have to walk in fear the rest of the way, so he ignored his fear, and his first thought was to keep this person.

The boss and Ruan Baozi? Fang? Cai had already woken up. Now that he heard Chi Jingyao's voice, the boss ran after him.

The man outside was extremely fast. He drew out the dagger at his waist, cut off the reins that tied the horse, and got on the horse. It was almost dark.

Chi Jingyao threw a bag of medicinal powder to the boss, and the boss jumped forward a few times, leaning on the tree and leaping forward, taking advantage of the situation to sprinkle the medicinal powder in his hand at the man.

The other party? He was vigilant, covering his mouth and nose with his hands.

However, the man's mouth and nose were covered, but the horse sucked in a lot of the medicine powder, and immediately his legs went limp, and the man fell off the horse's back.

Chi Jingyao seized the opportunity and threw the throwing knife in his hand, hitting the man's calf.

The opponent? Struggled and wanted to run again, but Lu Ming chased him out in an instant.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man sneered and took poison directly to kill himself.

"Don't get close to him." Seeing that Chi Jingyao was about to step forward, Lu Ming hurriedly stopped him: "Be careful of fraud."

Chi Jingyao dare not act rashly? Hearing this, he hurriedly took a few steps back.

The boss patted off the powder on his hands, and ran over and jumped into Chi Jingyao's arms.

Chi Jingyao hugged the boss, and then realized that his hands were covered in cold sweat. He was so nervous just now that he didn't care about his fear at all.

Lu Ming stepped forward to check the man, and after confirming that he was utterly dead, he dragged his body back to the ruined temple.

Chi Jingyao went to give the horse the antidote, and comforted him a bit, then he connected the horse's bridle and re-tied the horse.

In the ruined temple, Ruan Baozi? He was scared out of his wits long ago, but he still had his senses, and now he still cared about treating Dong Changan's wound.Dong Chang'an's martial arts were inferior to Lu Ming's, so Fang Cai couldn't dodge, and was stabbed in the lower abdomen by that man's long knife.

"That's right, you didn't pee your pants?" Lu Ming glanced at Ruan Baozi and said.

Chi Jingyao was a little surprised when he saw that he still cared about joking.

"You have long expected that they will come?" Chi Jingyao asked while stopping Dong Changan's bleeding.

"Just be on guard, but I'm not sure." Dong Chang'an said, "It's always right to be careful when you go out. No one will dislike yourself? Is my life long?"

While inspecting the two corpses, Lu Ming asked Chi Jingyao, "Little brother, you have to learn a little bit about walking outside in the future, otherwise it will be easy to break your stomach."

It was only then that Chi Jingyao realized that Lu Ming and Dong Chang'an hadn't slept at all, but had been pretending to be asleep.

No wonder Lu Ming arranged for him and Ruan Baozi to sleep next to the wall in the back to prevent accidental fights from affecting them.

Facts have proved that this arrangement is indeed very appropriate, just a few people were "lively" like this, and Ruan Baozi was huddled by the wall for nothing?

"What do they want to do?" Chi Jingyao asked: "All you are carrying are family letters. Could it be that they want to snatch the family letters?"

"It's hard to say." Dong Chang'an said, "Maybe it's just for fun."

Chi Jingyao frowned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and said, "Fang? Just when that man was about to kill Brother Lu, his companion said, don't dirty your clothes... Are they trying to steal your clothes?"

"You don't have to kill people if you're afraid of the cold, right?" Ruan Baozi said tremblingly.

"It's not because they're afraid of the cold." Chi Jingyao said, "They want to rob Brother Lu and Brother Dong of their clothes..."

Both of them were dressed in military uniforms, with the special logo of soldiers summoned by post stations.

Chi Jingyao has seen similar plots in film and television works before, where spies will kill people and steal clothes, and then pretend to be their identities.

"They want to pretend to be your identities and deliver letters to Qizhou camp?" Chi Jingyao asked.

Lu Ming and Dong Chang'an looked at Chi Jingyao in surprise, as if they didn't expect him to speculate so clearly.

Lu Ming took off the throwing knife from the corpse, wiped off the blood, and walked over to take off the throwing knife nailed to the wall by Chi Jingyao earlier, and handed it to Chi Jingyao before speaking. Said: "The flying knife is very good! I told you before I came here that this period of time is not peaceful, so you must come here."

"Chen Guo has been going crazy these days. He's not idle before the battle, and he's also doing tricks behind the scenes." He continued: "It's not so easy for them to pretend to be us, but It's also an opportunity, if you sneak into the Qizhou camp, you might be able to make great contributions."

Chi Jingyao remembered that in the original book, Chen Guoming secretly sent a lot of secret writers to the Qizhou camp.

However, most of the people who were sent there were actually cannon fodder, just to attract everyone's attention.

As for the truly useful secret work, as long as one person successfully sneaks into the Qizhou camp, it may bring a huge blow to the Qizhou camp.

Chi Jingyao in the original book belongs to the kind of meticulous work that is very close to success. If Pei Ye in the original book is not alert, he might really be able to successfully assassinate Pei Ye.

"How is his injury?" Lu Ming asked.

"The injury is in the abdomen. Don't be sloppy. I'm afraid I won't be able to continue riding." Chi Jingyao said: "I need to find a place? Let him recuperate."

Lu Ming thought for a while and said, "There is a village not far from the front. When you pass by there, put him down."

Chi Jingyao nodded when he heard the words, helped Dong Changan bandage the wound, and gave him pills to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation.

They disposed of the corpse overnight and buried them in a pit dug behind the ruined temple.

After everything was tidied up and the sky was dawning, everyone left the ruined temple and continued their journey.

When we arrived at the village at the front end, Lu Ming went to a family and temporarily placed Dong Chang'an there, and Chi Jingyao left some medicine for him.

When he came back after a few days of delay from the border town, Dong Chang'an's injury would probably be almost healed.

The remaining three people and one monkey continued on their way. Now that Ruan Baozi can ride a horse, everyone's journey has been much faster.

Unexpectedly, upon seeing the border town, it suddenly began to snow. The snow was so heavy that a thick layer had accumulated on the ground in half a day.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the station today. I remember that there is a small road nearby. There is a village over there. Let's see if I can find a place to stay away from the snow." Lu Mingchao said to the two.

Chi Jingyao and Ruan Baozi didn't know anything about this place, so naturally they could only listen to him.

So the three of them turned to the path.

Unexpectedly, after walking for less than an hour, they encountered a temporary soldier card.

Seeing the three of them and a monkey rushing through the snow, the guards felt a little strange and immediately stopped them.

"Are you the soldiers of the Qizhou camp?" Lu Ming took out his guide and showed it to the patrolling soldiers. The soldiers glanced at his guide, and then noticed the blood on his body.

The blood was stained after he killed the assassin that day, and it was inconvenient to wash it off, so he ignored it all the time.

"Are you still on your way under such heavy snow?" asked the patrolling soldier.

"I was just looking for a place? I just wanted to settle down. I didn't expect to meet you." Lu Ming said, "We are from the Qizhou post station, and we came here to deliver letters from the family. These two little brothers are doctors, and they came to the Qizhou camp to find someone."

Hearing this, the patrolling soldiers exchanged glances with their companions, with complicated expressions on their faces.

"Come to Qizhou camp to find someone?" The soldier asked Chi Jingyao.

"Yes, we're here to find... Pei Ye." Chi Jingyao said.

After all he said, he was a little proud, his second brother is now one of the top figures in the Qizhou camp, how much is he as the younger brother?

Didn't expect the other party? Hearing the words, he immediately snorted coldly, and said to the soldiers beside him, "Take them away first, and lock them up with the people caught in the first two days."

"No... Is there some misunderstanding?" Lu Ming asked hurriedly.

"Aren't you from Qizhou camp? You can't be from Chen Guo, right?" Chi Jingyao asked hastily.

The other party? He didn't even look at them, he just said to his subordinates: "Watch closely, don't something go wrong?"

"Brother!" Chi Jingyao said anxiously: "You must have made a mistake. I recognize your clothes. You guys are from the Qizhou camp. I really came here to look for Pei Ye. You don't know Pei Ye." If so, General Yang Cheng? Jun, do you know? And his son? Yang Yue, he and I are brothers who don’t know what to do..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his mouth was blocked.

A few soldiers moved very neatly and directly tied up all three of them.

Seeing that Chi Jingyao was tied up, the boss did not run away, but yelled at the soldiers a few times to express his anger.

"This monkey? What to do?" the soldier asked.

"Tie them together, maybe there is something harmful to others?" The man ordered.

The soldiers quickly tied up the three of them and one of the monkeys.

Then the man said coldly: "Is there no one available in Chen Guo? The secret workers sent recently are not as good as one, and they don't know how to wash the blood stains first if they rob someone's clothes."

"That's right, that kid? It's even more ridiculous. He hasn't even grown his hair yet, yet he's still looking for General Pei." Another person said, "We've captured no less than ten of them in the past three to five days, and we're going to join General Pei and General Pei." It's ridiculous that General Yang is dead."

Chi Jingyao and others were dragged by the soldiers and put into a wooden cage.That wooden cage should be a temporary place for people to be locked up at this checkpoint?

Chi Jingyao took a look and saw several wooden cages nearby, filled with more than a dozen people.

"Master Jun, you made a mistake, help me to send a message to General Pei? The young boy said to the soldier.

The soldier kicked the wooden cage, and Jiang? He shivered in fright and shrank back.

"You... Who are you from General Pei's army?" Chi Jingyao was locked in a wooden cage at the moment, and finally had time to take out the cloth towel that blocked his mouth, and asked the boy next to him Said: "You also know General Pei? Jun?"

"I'm his old acquaintance. We used to hunt together when we were in Qizhou," said the young man.

"These guys are all looking for General Pei, just like you. You can communicate together." The soldier pointed to Chi Jingyao and said to him.

Chi Jingyao: ...

What kind of bad luck is this, to get mixed up with these low-level secret operations.

Now I can't speak clearly.

On the other side, outside the tent.

A soldier stood at the door and said to the people inside: "General Pei, just now you have caught three more spies, pretending to be people who came to deliver letters from home, and just opened their mouths to say that they want to see you, and that they are talking to General Yang. The army is also very familiar."

"Few people know about the fact that General Pei came to patrol the checkpoint. If you look for General Pei, you can actually find this place. Seriously, these meticulous operations are becoming more and more nonsense." Pei Qing laughed and said: " General, what do you think we should do?"

"Shut up for a day first, and ask someone to interrogate tomorrow. If you can ask something, then? Ask, if you can't, then?...Kill it." Pei Ye said lightly.

The soldier hurriedly responded when he heard the words, then turned and left.

Pei Ye was reading a document at the desk when he suddenly felt his right eyelid twitch.

He frowned, put down the paperwork in his hand, and rubbed the space between his brows, always feeling a little uneasy.

"General, what's the matter?" Pei Qing asked.

"I can't tell, but I always feel that something is going to happen?" Pei Ye said, "You can go out with me for a while."

After finishing speaking, Pei Ye looked out of the tent with a serious expression.
