As time passes, the sound of horse hooves is getting closer and closer! Listening to the sound, the horse does not seem to be running very fast. But at this time and terrain, this speed is almost the limit of ordinary horses!
"Who is on the road at this late night? They can't be bandits, right?! No! If we are small and can't defeat them, should I surrender or run away..."
Just when Xiao Han was still scratching the raincloth and thinking wildly, the sound of horse hooves finally came closer. Xiao Han stared hard and looked forward, and saw a black shadow wrapped in heavy water mist suddenly rushing out on the ancient road.
!
"boom!!!"
A huge lightning split in the sky at the right time, and the sky and the earth were covered with white light! With this fleeting light, Xiao Han immediately saw the knight on the horse clearly.
I don’t know how long he has been wearing the cloth armor, but it is covered with mud and water! The copper helmet is a little black, and under the helmet, the knight’s face is pale! Fortunately, there are others around Xiao Han, otherwise
Seeing such a ghostly appearance in a place like this, Xiao Han was frightened to death!
There was no fighting, no camp robbery, not even a word! The knight on horseback also discovered this small camp on the roadside, but he just glanced at the camp coldly, and then disappeared from sight.
.
"Huh... who is this? Are you going to die if you walk like this at night?"
After the people left, Xiao Han jumped out from behind the rice seeds and looked at the place where the knight disappeared and asked strangely.
Ren Qing looked solemn and looked at the direction in which the man disappeared and said slowly: "This is the Red Feather Messenger! Seeing as he is coming from the south, something must have happened there!"
"What is it? Is it related to military affairs?"
"I don't know! But it is definitely a big deal for the Red Feather Messenger to still be on his way under such circumstances!"
"South, what big thing can this be..."
The red feather messenger has gone away, but Xiao Han and Ren Qing both fell silent! Looking at the dark ancient road, they suddenly felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
Hanzhong, Qinling Mountain Pass.
A silver-gray half-sized dog jumped down the mountain road, startling a large group of foraging sparrows on the grass.
"Xiao Qi! Run slowly. Have you forgotten that you were almost slapped to death by a blind bear last time?"
Just behind the happy dog, a young man riding a donkey followed out of the mountain with a tired face.
Perhaps because he was not used to the strong sun outside, after walking out of the forest, the young man subconsciously covered his eyes with his dirty sleeves. Then he put them down little by little and curiously looked at everything in front of him.
There is no doubt that this young man is Xiao Han, who has been crawling in the Qinling Mountains for more than eight days! Since that rainy night, everyone in the team has speeded up, and the result is two days faster than the scheduled time.
!
A small group of mules and horses came out of the ancient road one after another. A few men with messy beards looked at the plain in front of them and smiled rarely. After walking on the mountain road for so long, I almost forgot how to walk on the flat road!
Xiaodong and Lengzi are now covered in filth, and their hair is as long and prickly as if it had a dog hole!
But it’s not their fault, there is one in the team now, even Xiao Han has this dignified appearance! Who has the mind to pack these things after the rapid march in recent days!
"Xiao Hou, don't go forward yet! Take a rest here!" Ren Qing shouted from behind! Xiao Han at the front heard it, responded, and then pulled Xiaoji's ears hard to make him stop.
Follow Xiaoqi’s footsteps!
Perhaps because they are both Xiao Han's pets, this miraculous pair gets along extremely harmoniously, with the donkey and the dog developing a somewhat cross-species friendship.
Driving these two guys to join the main force, among this group, Xiao Han seems to be the most relaxed. He doesn't have to do any rough work! Of course, this is not because he is squeamish, but because this guy really doesn't know how to do any work.
It can only be a disservice...
The group of people who had just left the Qinling Mountains stopped briefly at the mountain pass to gather their people and organize their supplies. Then this group of people who seemed to be on the run continued to rush forward!
From now on, I no longer have to act like a savage in the woods, and the team is obviously much more relaxed.
After living and eating together for the past few days, Xiao Han had already become close to these people. Several people, including the supervisor of agriculture, were also used to Xiao Han, a noble man with no airs. Occasionally, they could still get together.
Make a few harmless jokes to liven up the tense atmosphere!
Hanzhong has been a big city since ancient times! And it is almost the birthplace of the Han nation! So not long after coming out of the Qinling Mountains, Xiao Han could see obvious traces of human settlement. On both sides of the road, cultivated fields looked everywhere.
So neat.
Xiao Han rode Xiaoji and ran at the front of the team. When he saw a paddy field on the side of the road, he immediately cheered, jumped off the donkey and rushed to the field, bending his waist and peering into the water!
"Hey, Brother Ren, look at this land. This land has not been planted yet. Can we requisition it?"
Ren Qing heard Xiao Han's shout and ran over in large strides. She stepped into the water without rolling up her trouser legs and groped for a while under the water with her hands.
"Huh? Really no planting? What kind of lazy man's land is this? Why haven't you planted any food at this time of year?!" After touching in the water for a long time, Ren Qing looked at his muddy hands and was surprised!
Logically speaking, the grain should have sprouted by now! But there is nothing in this apparently well-kept land, no rice seeds, no seedlings. This is simply unbelievable in the eyes of Ren Qing, who was born in a farmer's family!
In the paddy field, Ren Qing's face was full of surprise, but Xiao Han didn't think so much! He only knew that there was ready-made land on which to grow food directly. He didn't have to do what he had imagined before coming: using strong orders to acquire land, and then planting all the food that others had grown.
Pull it out and plant your own...
"This is simply God helping me!" Xiao Han felt ecstatic in his heart. Since ancient times, land has been the lifeblood of farmers. He had seen countless tragedies caused by land expropriation in his previous life, and he really didn't want to happen again in this world!
Now you see how good it is, if you don’t plant it, then I will plant it! The land can’t be left uncultivated, right? When the landlord comes to ask for an explanation in the future, just use money to settle the matter! No matter how you put it, it’s all your own! This is simply God’s gift.
Our face!
"Hurry up, that Asan! Don't be stunned. Hurry up and show me how this piece of land is. Is it enough to grow our rice? Show me the water and other things carefully! Don't make any mistakes.
!If something goes wrong, just dig a hole and bury yourself here!"
Xiao Han happily shouted to a dark-looking guy in the agricultural supervisory department. Xiao Han looked around, then ran along the edge of the field to the foot of a tree. He climbed up to the branch in twos and twos, and looked far into the distance.
Following Xiao Han's order, the accompanying agricultural supervisors immediately got busy! Surveying the terrain when it was time to survey the terrain, and measuring the land when it was time to measure the land! There were even some who studied water and soil! Sure enough, professional things are always done.
Leave it to professionals!
Everyone was busy working, and the guards all stopped. The idiot took off the package on his back, scratched his head and asked Xiaodong: "Huh? Why do I remember that Mr. Hou can't climb trees? Why can he climb better than a monkey now?
Soon?"
When Xiaodong heard this, he rolled his eyes angrily, and walked toward Xiao Han and said, "Idiot! Did you forget that the day before yesterday, the Marquis was frightened by a long worm? He can climb up even a pine tree that is so tall and difficult to climb.
