Volume 1: Looking to the Northwest, Shooting the Heavenly Wolf Chapter 49: The Way of Heaven
The night before leaving, Chai Tiannuo, Bian Sheng, Shen Tu Zijin and Wei Zhongxian drank together in the small courtyard.
When the cow drank into his throat, Wei Zhongxian put down his bowl and sighed:
"I'm the only one left now. You should be careful. Safety comes first in the battle formation. If you can hide behind others, don't take the lead. The bastard who takes the lead will die quickly."
Three slaps hit the back of Wei Zhongxian's head one after another, causing him to gasp in pain.
"There are review materials left by me and you in the room, be sure to memorize them all!"
"Dr. Wei told me that you have a high chance of passing the exam this autumn. If you work hard, there is hope for you in the spring."
"A man has to be tougher on himself. Uncle Wei is getting older, and you should make some progress!"
Chai Tiannuo glared, and Wei Zhongxian nodded reluctantly. Although he was the youngest, he was the well-deserved senior brother of the four.
Over the years, Chaitino's appearance and temperament have undergone earth-shaking changes.
The originally thin and short body has now become tall and strong. Although he still looks thin, he is as sharp as a knife and is terrifying to look at.
"After I left, I took good care of my uncle. After all, he is getting older and his health is getting worse every year."
Wei Zhongxian nodded, and the four of them looked at the yard next door. Presumably, the old uncle was drinking the cut-throat liquor at this time.
The next day, the four brothers respected each other and went their separate ways.
"Rabbit, I have brought you enough food this time, so just let go of your hooves and run as fast as you can!"
"咴咴~~~"
The red rouge rabbit raised its hooves and screamed happily, running into the distance like an arrow.
Chai Man'er lay on Rouge Rabbit's warm neck and asked Chai Tiannuo in a low voice:
"Master, can we come back?"
"I miss Uncle Xi, Sister and the others, and our Moxiangju."
Chai Tiannuo smiled bitterly and rubbed the little girl's head:
"It took us a while to have a cup of tea, your sorrow of separation came too quickly."
Chai Man'er pressed her little face into Rouge Rabbit's mane and said with a slight cry:
"This is the place where I have stayed for the longest time in my memory. My uncle, sister, and the others hurt me, and I can't bear to leave them."
Chai Tiannuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly. For Chai Maner, who had lost his memory, the place where he paused the longest in his life was probably Mo Xiangju.
The rouge rabbit ran wildly along the post road. Although it was fast, its body was very stable and only swayed slightly. Chai Tiannuo sighed in his heart. Spending two hundred taels of silver to lend the rabbit was really the right choice.
Brushing Chai Man'er's smooth hair, Chai Tiannuo said softly:
"We will come back. Moxiangju is our home."
After leaving Luoshui, Chai Tiannuo ran along the post road, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road.
After all, we are going to the desolate northwest frontier. Except for businessmen, no one has the leisure and leisure to feel the knife-like strong wind outside the Great Wall.
Enlisting in the army and training were under the public service, and food and sleep were free at the inns where he stopped along the way. This was what Chaitino was most satisfied with.
What I am most dissatisfied with is time.
I don't know if the director of the military department who gave the order was in a bad mood because he was slapped by his wife, so he and Chaitino issued a death order and must report to the border town within 18 days.
One day late, the cane will be five, two days late, the cane will be ten, and three days late, it will be punished by military law!
Damn it, Chaitino's teeth started to itch when he thought of this. The time limit was too tight. If he ran slower, he would never reach the border town.
Chaitino ran all the way until he could no longer see the road, and then he rested at the inn.
"My thighs~~!"
After dismounting, Chai Tiannuo complained repeatedly. He ran wildly all day. The little girl had nothing to do. He even slept on the horse for two times during the ride. On the contrary, he, a man who often rides horses, actually scratched his skin. What do you think this is?
Son!
Chai Tiannuo turned around and took a look. Not only was her skin bruised, but her butt was also swollen. She was really shameless in front of others.
"Master, boil some hot water and I can give you a hot compress tonight. It looks like a millstone. It's so ugly."
Chai Maner frowned, Chai Tiannuo shook his head and sighed:
"Forget it, the injury is really not in the right place. I can just take a hot bath and burn it."
After eating a bowl of noodles and taking a shower, Chaitino fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
After a night's rest, when he got up the next day, Chai Tiannuo found that his injury had healed. He couldn't help but sigh, his body's recovery ability was really strong after eating the fairy fruit and practicing the eightfold dragon and snake strength!
After running wildly for two days, Chaitino left the Zhili area and entered Shanbei Province through a narrow mountain pass.
The scenery immediately changed as soon as we came out of the mountain pass. Zhili is now covered with green grass and full of vitality wherever we look, but in the northern part of the mountain everything is gray and there is very little vegetation.
"Master, this scenery is really strange. The gap between the north and the south of the mountain is too big!"
Chai Man'er looked at the desolate land and was extremely surprised. The scene on both sides of a mountain that was not very tall was so different. It was really incredible.
"Actually the reason is very simple."
Chai Tiannuo thought of the geography knowledge he had learned in his previous life and said with a smile:
"Although the mountain is not too high, it is extremely long and narrow, which blocks most of the moisture in the south. As a result, rainfall in the northern province of the mountain is sparse, so vegetation cannot grow."
Chai Man'er nodded in sudden realization and looked at Chai Tiannuo with admiration in his eyes. The young master knows so much!
For a whole hour, I met no more than twenty pedestrians on the road, and they were all businessmen.
Chai Tiannuo felt that something was wrong. After all, it was a provincial-level post road. The number of people was too small. Could something have happened?
Whatever he thought came to him, in less than a quarter of an hour, Chaitino heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. Not long after, a large cavalryman with a spear came running over.
Seeing Chaitino in fine unicorn armor, the cavalry knew that he was an elite member of the army. They did not slow down, but beat their chests in salute, and quickly disappeared behind them.
Chaitino turned his head and frowned as he looked at the retreating figure. The cavalry looked in a hurry and it was not easy to disturb them, but they were stained with a lot of blood and some of them were injured. There must have been fighting before!
After thinking about it, Chai Tiannuo straightened his waist and strung up his moon rhinoceros, ready to deal with it.
After seven or eight miles, Chaitino patted Rouge Rabbit's neck to make it stop. There were several bloody corpses lying on the road ahead.
Chaitino dismounted and checked. Judging from the wounds, they should have been caused by those cavalrymen just now.
The clothes of the deceased were very complicated, but there was a golden fishhook embroidered on the cuffs, which must be some kind of emblem.
Continuing to move forward, it didn't take long for Chaitino to find many corpses lying on the road. This situation was very rare.
If the soldiers of the township army killed the bandits, they would definitely move their bodies away from the post road. The lack of cleaning at all could only mean that the situation was urgent and there was no time to deal with it.
Chai Tiannuo thought about it and decided not to rush today. He went to the inn early to rest and get some information to see what happened.
When they arrived at the post station, the post guard hurriedly came up to take the reins. Chai Tiannuo handed him a cloth bag:
"There are soybeans and five eggs in it. Feed them to my mount."
"Here!"
The postman sang a song and led Rouge Rabbit to the backyard. Chai Tiannuo took the paperwork and went to the postmaster to log in.
