A small carriage left ten miles outside Bianliang City and merged with the large group of people on the official road from the trail. Before the escorting officers and soldiers could stop it, they were stopped by the Dutou Dynasty of the Renma Army, who then personally led the way.
The carriage was led to the Su family's motorcade.
Sitting in the car was Xia Siling. When she learned that Su Jin was taking her to Weizhou in the northwest to take office, Xia Siling was very excited, just like a canary in a cage that sings endlessly once it is released from its cage.
Su Jin dismounted and got into the car. Xia Siling flew into her arms, kissed Su Jin's face with her small mouth, and gasped: "Brother Su, the slave family has finally left the capital."
Su Jin pinched her little face and smiled: "How many people dream of coming to the capital, but you are happy to leave the capital. If people know about it, they will definitely say that you are not blessed even though you are in the midst of blessings."
Xia Siling smiled sweetly and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't enjoy that kind of blessing. I am in a very good mood. I will go out to ride horses and see the scenery later."
Su Jin hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't mess around. This is still the boundary of the capital. Maybe your father will send someone to follow and monitor secretly. Don't cause trouble."
Xia Siling shivered, and when she thought of Xia Song, Xia Siling's brows furrowed, and she felt gloomy again. Su Jin secretly blamed herself for not mentioning these things. After all, Xia Song was her father, and now she left her father alone without saying goodbye.
It is conceivable that Xia Siling also feels self-blame and guilt in her heart.
Su Jin hugged Xia Siling, kissed her twice, and comforted her: "Don't worry, you and your daughter will be reunited, but we just have to wait until everything calms down. When I came, Mr. Xia also came to see me off outside the city, and he told me
Be kind to you."
Xia Siling almost jumped up and said in shock: "Does daddy know that I am with you? If it is such a trouble, he will definitely have someone chase me back."
Su Jin patted her back gently and comforted: "That's not the case, your father is such a smart man, he must have guessed that you were rescued by me, but he has no evidence, and there is nothing he can do even if he knows;
And now that I am the magistrate of Weizhou, he needs to think twice before doing anything, but we also need to be more careful, so you can't show your face before leaving the capital."
Xia Siling nodded and said: "The slave family understands. There are also these officers and soldiers escorting the grain and grass. If I, a woman, show up, I will inevitably attract attention. When I get back, my father may interrogate these people, which will be equivalent to leaving evidence behind."
Su Jin smiled and said, "As long as you understand."
Xia Siling leaned in Su Jin's arms, bit her fingers and thought for a while, then said, "How about this? Brother Su goes and helps me find a set of men's clothing. Just like in Yingtian, the slave family dresses up as a man and rides with him. Wouldn't this be a way to deceive others?"
What?"
Su Jin Dale, why have you forgotten this? This girl has a criminal record and has done a lot of shocking things. She is indeed the daughter of Xia Song. A tiger girl from a general family is different from other girls.
Su Jin let her do whatever she wanted, as long as she didn't appear as a daughter. After all, she was alone with her, so Su Jin naturally had a lot of pampering and pampering towards her.
The large team of people and horses moved slowly, and the weather was extremely hot. The team that stretched for several miles needed to be looked after and checked back and forth. Although Su Jin tried his best not to worry about it, there were always troubles of one kind or another. At one moment, a cart carrying food crashed.
A moment later, animals were slapping their hooves, and a moment later someone was fainting from heatstroke. Everyone was busy like firefighters. Su Jin and Wang Lang were busy directing and dispatching, and they were sweating profusely.
The convoy finally traveled twenty miles, but the scorching sun at noon had already made it difficult for the entire team. Su Jin glanced at the situation of the team and thought that this was not going to work. In less than three days, everyone would fall off.
Skin, you have to change the time of travel.
Su Jin called Wang Lang to tell Wang Lang his worries, and Wang Lang agreed, so he frowned and said, "What Master Su is saying is that the weather is extremely hot this year, and the weather is indeed quite harsh. What should Master Su do?
"
Su Jin thought for a while and said: "Since we are walking along the official road, we don't have to worry about taking the wrong road, so traveling during the day and at night are the same. It is hot during the day, and such a long journey cannot be sustained in a day or two.
You can get through it if you persevere. I think we should avoid the hot weather and rest during the day and march at night. This will increase the marching time."
Wang Lang said: "It's good, but it's hard to deal with the problem of marching at night. After walking a hundred miles, we will leave the capital and reach the Yongxing Army Road. If we encounter Western bandits or rogue bandits, if we can't move the mules at night,
With horses and vehicles gathered in one place, it may be difficult to defend against them."
Su Jin nodded and said: "Chief Wang is right, but compared to the torment of high temperature, I feel that the danger of being attacked is smaller. So, leave it to me to guard against enemy attacks. Chief Wang is responsible for the convoy at night.
What do you think of the traveling order? Set off in the afternoon when the heat subsides, and then find a place to rest the next day when the temperature rises."
Wang Lang looked at the soldiers and civilians around him who were dizzy from the heat and could only do this.
The convoy found a forest next to the official road to rest. Wang Lang announced this decision, and everyone immediately agreed. Wang Lang ordered everyone to cut some branches and make some torches. Among the supplies escorted were dozens of barrels of kerosene, which were dipped in kerosene at night.
After adding kerosene, the torch will last longer.
After everyone had been busy for a while, it was already noon. After eating dry food and feeding the mules and horses with water and fodder, everyone fell asleep on the grass in the woods.
Su Jin was leaning on a corner of the edge of the woods, biting a grass stem, chatting quietly with Wang Chao, Mahan, Wu Hengxin and others. Suddenly, someone behind him called out: "Hello, Mr. Su. I am polite to you for my humble position."
Su Jin turned around to look, and saw a thin man wearing horse armor saluting him. Su Jin quickly stood up and returned the salute: "Who are you? What do you have to report?"
The horse army soldier said with a cunning look in his eyes: "It's a humble job. I'm just a casual chatter with Mr. Su."
Su Jin frowned and said: "Where did such a low-ranking soldier come from? He is so courageous that he dares to make fun of himself." Just as he was about to scold him, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Wu Hengxin's snickering face from the corner of his eye.
I understood immediately.
"That's fine. I happen to be chatting too. I saw a pond in the south of the woods and wanted to take a bath in the pond. How about you go with me and take a bath together?"
"This..." The soldier looked panicked, and said with cupped hands: "It's a humble position and I don't know the nature of water, so I'm sorry that I can't obey my order."
Su Jin's stomach cramped with laughter, and he said with a straight face: "This is a military order, do you dare to disobey it? You will have to take off your pants and slap the boards."
The soldier stammered: "This... we can't force it on others."
Su Jin shouted with a straight face: "What's wrong with forcing people to do something difficult? In the army, you only have to obey orders. Even if there is a cliff in front of you, you have to jump when the officer orders you to jump. How did you become a soldier? You actually pushed back and blocked me. It seems that you want to be punished.
Already."
The soldier raised his hands in surrender and said, "Okay, Brother Su, if you win, I know I can't hide it from you."
Su Jin laughed loudly and said: "I have already seen through you once, and you still dare to act like a ghost in front of me. Isn't this a knife edge?"
That soldier was Xia Siling, who looked like a cavalry soldier. She stamped her feet and said: "You are pretending to be serving the public for your own benefit, and you actually used military orders to suppress me. How do you think I look like?"
Wang Chao and others all nodded and praised him, saying that he looked very good and that as long as he didn't speak, he would not be recognized at first glance.
Xia Siling bowed her hand to Wu Hengxin and said, "Thank you, Brother Wu, for helping me find this suit of clothes that fits me. When I get to Weizhou City, I will treat you to a nice meal."
Wu Hengxin chuckled and said, "I want to eat chicken butt."
Su Jin stumbled. This guy hadn't gotten rid of his habit of eating chicken butts. He was appointed as the chief arrester of Weizhou Prefecture in the future. He still looked like this. Speaking of which, several people around him
My brother's IQ seems a bit worrying, but this is the reason why I dare to confide in them.
Su Jin tutted and praised Xia Siling for her good makeup. If it weren't for the deliberate criticism, there would be no flaws. She looked just like an ordinary horse soldier. It seemed that holding it in the car really made this girl uncomfortable, so that was fine.
, if you blend in among the horse soldiers, you won't attract anyone's attention.
"Brother Xia, I have specially appointed you as my personal bodyguard and report to the capital of the dynasty immediately." Su Jin said with a smile.
Xia Siling was overjoyed and said to the dynasty: "Xia Silin, a soldier of the Ma Army, has come to report. Please give me your advice."
Chao Chao laughed and said: "Protect Mr. Su and never leave. This is your responsibility. You will take care of Mr. Su's food, clothing and daily life."
Xia Siling's face turned red and it was hard to answer. Ma Han muttered at the side: "I also have to be responsible for washing Mr. Su's underwear..."
