"You Min, you'd better go to the carriage and rest for a while!"

Traveling on horseback is a very strenuous task. As a man, Li Xun can't bear it, let alone a weak woman like You Min. Moreover, she is at home, in a melancholy mood, eating very little every day, and her body bones are already weak.

Unfortunately, after three days of traveling, You Min gritted her teeth and persisted without complaining, but it could be seen from her pale face that she could no longer resist.

You Min gritted his teeth, shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

Li Xun pretended to be displeased and said: "I am the commander-in-chief of an army. Although you are not a member of the army, since you are in my team, you must obey my orders."

You Min knew that Li Xun said this because he was concerned about her. She was indeed a little overwhelmed. She glanced at Li Xun gratefully. You Min dismounted and got into the carriage to rest.

Fan Zhongyun got out of You Min's carriage, mounted his horse, looked lazily and yawned, and approached Li Xun.

Li Xun glanced at him and said dissatisfied: "Old Fan, you are still a man and stay in the carriage all day. You Min, a weak woman, is stronger than you."

Facing Li Xun's ridicule, Fan Zhongyun was not angry at all. He chuckled and said: "I am a man and a weak scholar. I rarely exercise on weekdays. I can't stand it if you ask me to stay on the horse all day long."

After speaking, Fan Zhongyun raised his head and glanced at the gloomy sky, and said: "The sky is gloomy, the atmosphere is humid, and heavy rain is coming. It seems that we need to find a place to rest and shelter from the rain quickly."

Li Xun nodded. The weather was so cold. Even if he had a strong body, he might not be able to bear it if he walked in the rain.

In the past few days, Li Xun and others have been resting in the wild, but the roads are easy to walk, so they are not very tired.

The road that Li Xun and others are taking now extends all the way to Shanzhou. During the Wuzong period, the entire Longyou was once recovered, and the road was built all the way to Wuzhou. However, when Xizong, Wuzhou and other seven states fell again, the Dashi Empire

The main focus was on the countries in the Western Regions. The roads were in disrepair and began to be abandoned. Therefore, before leaving Shanzhou, Li Xun and others could walk along the official road. The road was easy to walk.

At this time, Tan Ma returned and reported: "General, there is a small town fifty miles ahead. It is quite large. All five hundred of us can enter and rest."

Li Xun nodded: "Give me the order and speed up."

After that, Li Xun glanced at You Min's carriage behind him, waved to Lei Wanhai who was not far away, and when he came closer, he said: "You lead a hundred people to hold back, and I will lead the people to go ahead."

The town ahead will make arrangements."

"Yes, General."

Lei Wanhai also glanced at the carriage behind him and knew the purpose of Li Xun's arrangement.

Half an hour later, Li Xun arrived at a small town dozens of miles away. Although the time had just arrived, the sky had already turned completely dark, and raindrops began to fall from the sky.

It is said to be a small town, but there are no city walls. It is just a few small villages gathered together. It is relatively large, with hundreds of households. Thirty miles to the north is the famous Hongju Granary, so it is relatively prosperous.

There are many merchants coming and going.

Where there are many businessmen coming and going, there are naturally a lot of hotels. However, the weather was bad today, so many businessmen on their way stayed in the town. But luckily, there was a three-story hotel. The owner just died a few days ago.

The person who took over had just arrived in the past two days, so the shop had not yet opened for business. There were more than 20 rooms inside, all of which were vacant. Li Xun offered double the price. Seeing that the shop owner was a soldier, he did not dare to refuse.

He took the money and let Li Xun and others stay.

There are hundreds of people here in Li Xun, so naturally they can't all stay in the hotel.

"The oldest soldier followed me into the inn to rest, and the rest camped around the inn. I ordered them to stay with me and not go out to disturb the people."

Li Xun ordered to Lei Wanhai.

Lei Wanhai nodded and was about to go down to deliver the order when Shan Qiu came over and said: "Li Xun, why don't we find Li Zheng here and let them think of a solution. Anyway, we just need a night's rest. The problem shouldn't be a problem."

big."

Li Xun thought for a while, that's fine, since it's not like they have to work in vain, just give them money.

After a while, an old man in his sixties was brought to Li Xun. Looking at the majestic and strong soldiers around him, the old man leaned forward and looked a little timid.

Li Xun smiled gently and said: "Old sir, don't be nervous. I was sent by the imperial court to take up a post in Longyou. I passed by here and saw that heavy rain was coming, so I took my subordinates to stay here for one night. You are the leader here.

, I hope you will come forward to help and arrange accommodation for my subordinates."

"Don't worry, general, the people here are easy to talk to. I will make arrangements right away to free up fifty houses for you."

Although Li Zheng didn't even know the other party's name or official position, but with hundreds of soldiers as personal followers, his official position must be very high. The other party's request was not excessive, and Li Zheng would not dare to disobey it.

"Thank you very much."

Li Xun smiled, then raised his hand and nodded at Li Zheng. Jiang Daxiong took out a package and gave it to Li Zheng.

"This is one hundred taels of silver. Please tell the people who vacated their houses that we're sorry to trouble them. We'll stay here for one night and then leave."

Li Zheng took the money, and his face suddenly became happy. He did not expect that the general was so generous and easy-going, which was rare.

This person's surname is Wang. He once served as county magistrate in the early years. Although he is just a low-ranking official, in the eyes of the people here, he is already a very remarkable person, so he has a high prestige in the town.

The people will listen to what he says, but... Now that the heavy rain is coming, it is very troublesome to suddenly ask the people to move temporarily. I am definitely not willing to do it. But since the other party gives money, it will be much easier. The average family is two taels.

It only costs money to stay for one night. I'm afraid everyone will rush to borrow a room.

"General, wait a moment, I'll make arrangements right away."

Li Zheng bowed, took the money and left happily.

Half an hour later, heavy rain poured down, and You Min and others rushed to the town in time. At this time, Li Zheng arranged the house and left a lot of food, which saved the soldiers who had been tired for the day.

Many things made me very happy, and many people went to bed early after eating.

In the hotel, Li Xun, Shan Qiu and others were sitting around a table, eating. It was still very early and it was not the time to eat, but in the past few days, everyone had been eating dry food together, and they were a little greedy, so they ordered

I had a lot of food and had an early meal.

Li Xun was not a good drinker, but he didn't hate it either. He ate the dishes and drank wine from a small cup. Zhao Wei and Zheng Chun were extremely good drinkers. They took Jiang Daxiong and had a drinking competition.

As for Shan Qiu, he just ate the food. This was his principle. During the march, he did not drink any alcohol.

All the more than ten tables in the hotel are full. There are more than 60 veterans, all old subordinates of Shanqiu. What kind of generals are there are the same kinds of soldiers below. They are the same as Shanqiu.

A teetotaler.

Four or five waiters were busy bringing food to each table.

Li Xun glanced at the waiters and said with a smile: "These people are really quick in their skills."

Shan Qiu answered: "The figure is also very good, no worse than the people under me."
