In the empty wilderness, a carriage and three horses were leisurely looking for food in the snow. Not far away were two fainted people and a corpse. Chang Yu squatted on the ground, breathing heavily, and simply
He pricked the wound on his shoulder, and his brain was spinning rapidly.
This matter was probably not caused by Fang Ba. First of all, Fang Ba would not be so impulsive, let alone attack him for five hundred taels of silver. Secondly, Fang Ba knew his skills. If he really wanted to kill the three of him, he would definitely not be able to do it!
It can only be that Fang Ba's subordinates were jealous when they saw the money and suddenly took action. After all, five hundred taels of silver was enough for them to have murderous intentions. Moreover, these three people definitely did not participate in the last fight. Otherwise, they would not have used the courage after seeing Chang Yu fight.
come over.
But these are just his inferences. What are the facts?
Chang Yu didn't think about it now. He dragged the body into the carriage, tied the three horses to the carriage, left the two fainted men behind, and drove away.
Panjiayao is located more than ten miles east and south of Guangqumen. The village is famous for its brick-burning kilns. They make full use of everything and collect soil nearby. As a result, dozens of large and small pits several miles around the village accumulate water in the summer and are covered with water in the winter.
Snow.
Three miles northeast of the village, there are several pits, covered with snow. At this time, there are hundreds of people crawling around inside, fighting in teams, or simulating a charge. Needless to say, these people covered in mud, with bruises and swollen faces, are Chang Yu's men and eunuchs.
military!
Rewards and punishments are clear. If the eunuch army doesn't win this fight, it will be considered a loss. Chang Yu's punishment is simple and rough, which is one word, paralysis, paralysis for training paralysis.
Above the pit, four of Chang Yu's confidants, Fan Jiaqian, Hu Ling, Chen Jingzhong, and Li Tiezhu, each carrying a short stick in their hands, were patrolling and supervising. They scolded and brainwashed them from time to time. They were willing to accept defeat without any complaints and receive double salaries.
If you can't even do such a small amount of work, if you have the face to complain, you can get out if you think it's hard, go back and continue to do some menial and rough work...
No one wants to go back, no one wants to go to the palace to do those menial and menial jobs. The actual benefits of joining the eunuch army are not just a double salary, but more importantly, an improvement in status compared to other eunuchs.
He has a sense of psychological superiority. After all, eunuchs themselves are a lowly person and profession. Not only others but themselves look down on themselves, and they have extremely low self-esteem.
But after joining the eunuch army, they gradually felt the respect from other eunuchs and palace maids. Whether it was the look in their eyes or the tone of their words, they were very different from before, and their confidence and bloodiness gradually emerged. This was the reason why they persisted.
In other words, although training is very hard now, everyone also understands how to become strong and confident without such high-intensity training.
A person walked slowly from a distance, with a tall and straight figure and a calm demeanor. The first person he noticed was Li Tiezhu. He stared at him with squinted eyes for a while, then called Hu Ling next to him and raised his finger.
Hu Ling frowned and said, "Village nearby?"
"Why do I look like the boss?" Fan Jiaqian asked.
"No, I'm going to take a look." Li Tiezhu said and ran towards the visitor.
It really is Chang Yu.
"Boss, you..." Li Tiezhu noticed the blood stains on Chang Yu's left shoulder at a glance.
Chang Yu smiled bitterly, pointed to the north, and took two people there. My carriage was tied there. There was a corpse in the carriage buried on the spot. Don't move the three horses. Then he drove back to the city and circled a few times before waiting for me outside Dong'an Gate.
.
Corpse! Li Tiezhu was shocked. It was obvious that this information had a great impact on him. He wanted to ask something, but suddenly saw Chang Yu's cold eyes and quickly held back: "Yes, boss" and turned to leave.
"Also, send a message to them. You won't go back to the palace tonight. You will spend the night here and survive in the wild." After saying that, he walked straight towards Panjiayao.
Parking the car two places away, and then taking a detour into the city was naturally to prevent being tracked. Although Chang Yu knew that whether it was Fang Ba's instigation or his subordinates who were motivated by the money, if someone died, the two would wake up.
He absolutely didn't have the guts to follow him any further. Either he was busy going back to report or he was on the run from now on. However, just to be on the safe side, he still dealt with the aftermath carefully.
In the mansion in the west of the village, Chang Yu stood at the entrance of the tunnel with a very satisfied expression. With Luo Tang and others working overnight, the tunnel reinforcement project has been completed perfectly. Walls were built on both sides, reinforced with wooden piles on top, paved with stone bricks on the ground, and burned
Firewood drying.
"You can rest early tonight, and there is no need to get up early to practice tomorrow morning." Chang Yu looked at Luo Tang and others who were busy repairing three broken houses with a very kind expression.
After being praised by Butler Chang, Luo Tang and others' faces showed joy, even though everyone looked extremely tired: "Brother Chang, this house will be repaired before sunset, and you can sleep here tonight, but I still feel like sleeping low-key."
It’s comfortable”
Chang Yu smiled and nodded: "Starting tonight, we can't all sleep in the tunnel, we have to take turns in batches."
Luo Tang and others didn't quite understand what taking turns in batches meant, but Chang Yu didn't explain and they didn't dare to ask. Doing more and asking less is the necessary attitude for being a servant.
"Boss, did you win the fight today? What happened to your injuries?" Chunxiang and Jiang Quan were unable to participate because they had been supervising here last night, and they were full of curiosity.
"We didn't win," Chang Yu said, looking at his left shoulder and raising his arm, feeling a slight pain. The knife only hurt the skin and flesh, not the muscles and bones, otherwise he would have chopped all three of them into pieces.
"Ah! I lost." Chunxiang and Jiang Chun looked disappointed.
"I didn't lose either." Chang Yu smiled and said, "That's why they all kneel down in the pit over there." He pointed to the north.
The two people's expressions suddenly changed, and they looked at the sky: "Boss, you won't be denied permission to return to the palace tonight, right?"
Chang Yu nodded: "It's time to take a wilderness survival lesson, but we have to go back before dark. We have important things to do tonight."
Survival in the wilderness is simple to say. Even in the era of all kinds of black technology in later generations, it is not easy. What's more, when these eunuchs who had nothing were exhausted from being tortured in the snow pit, they were suddenly told that if they did not return to the palace tonight, they would die.
They are not provided with food, water, or bedding, they are not allowed to go out within ten miles, and they are not allowed to enter the village to steal and disturb the people.
It was like an atomic bomb on a sunny day. These eunuchs were so shocked that they were not given anything to drink or snow to quench their thirst. They could not starve to death even if they were not given food for a whole night. However, they had no bedding. In this cold weather, they froze to death in minutes.
Some people panicked.
But there were also some excited people. They immediately thought that keeping warm and fighting the cold was the first step. They immediately started looking for dry firewood, branches and other materials to make a fire. Some people took the lead, and others started to get busy. Some started to build fires in the soil.
The pit was dug with rocks and branches on the rock wall. Could it be that he was thinking of living in a cave dwelling at night...
But Chang Yu has no intention of looking at these people, and he is not worried that these people will slip away. They are eunuchs, and they all chose to enter the palace when they had no chance of survival. Naturally, they will not slip away again. In short, the world is so big,
It's hard for them to gain a foothold, so they won't be deserters.
It was getting dark, and three horses were tied to the roadside in the wilderness. Chang Yu, Chun Xin, and Jiang Quan walked from existence and entered the city one by one with their whips raised.
Riding a horse is definitely a technical job, comparable to driving in later generations, and you need to go to a driving school. Chang Yu has never ridden a horse, and the same goes for Chunxiang. The three of them have no riding skills at all, and they are all novices on the road.
But fortunately, the car was an automatic transmission, and the three horses were all well-trained, so they could hit the road just by stepping on the accelerator. Even so, the three of them still rode back to the city in fear.
For more than ten miles, twenty minutes is enough for a normal person to ride a horse. However, the three novices, who were not good at riding and did not dare to ride horses, actually took almost forty minutes to enter the city before dark, and met Li Tiezhu at the city gate.
After waiting for the three eunuchs to turn around, they took a carriage and entered the palace in a hurry just before the palace closed.
