People and horses were galloping on the road, and the baggage train behind them did not slow down because it was pulled by three horses.
He walked quickly through the wilderness, left the main road, and walked on a path that could only accommodate two horses.
The marching speed slowed down, but the queue remained orderly.
This path seemed to have no end, the villages on both sides were dilapidated, and no one was encountered in the surrounding areas.
Looking at Zhao Hanqing who was leading the way, Liang Chengdong's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"Is this the right way?" He couldn't help but say, "There are no roads here."
The people next to him looked intently and didn't seem to hear what he said.
On the other hand, Lei Zhonglian was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see Liang Chengdong being left out and embarrassed.
"Are you an officer or soldier?" he asked.
They have been together for some time, and Miss Jun did not hide Mrs. Yu's identity from Lei Zhonglian.
However, Madam Yu's guards do not necessarily have to be officers and soldiers, they can also be servants, and servants are completely different from officers and soldiers.
Liang Chengdong glanced at him.
"I am an officer and soldier," he said.
Lei Zhonglian said oh.
"I thought you weren't." Lei Zhonglian said, "You're not like them."
He pointed to the front, back, left... and when he reached the right, he pulled back his hand.
"He doesn't count." Lei Zhonglian said, looking at the man on the right.
Jin Shiba looked at him coldly.
Either people had to bow their heads under the eaves, or they had to bear the humiliation. Jin Shiba and others also put on armor and walked quietly and quietly, no different from the villagers and others.
Liang Chengdong didn't recognize the difference between Jin Shiba and didn't bother to pay attention to it. In fact, he didn't want to pay much attention to Lei Zhonglian's words, but he stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling person. It was hard to ignore someone who took the initiative to speak.
"Why is it different?" he said.
"They obeyed orders and never asked questions, let alone questioned." Lei Zhonglian said, "I thought officers and soldiers were like this."
Liang Chengdong was furious.
This person is so bad!
I walked around for a long time just to scold him!
So bad!
Of course he is not an officer or soldier. If this is a soldier in his hands, give this boy a whip first to let him know what it means not to ask questions and not to question.
"There is a river ahead!" Zhao Hanqing, who was walking at the front, suddenly shouted happily.
Interrupted Liang Chengdong's anger.
Sure enough, there is a river.
He raised his head and looked ahead. As dusk fell, the land became even more vast. Not far away, a river curved and outlined a line.
"The Baiyang River has arrived." Miss Jun's voice came from the car behind, "Camp here tonight, and you can enter Hejian Mansion tomorrow."
So fast? As she said, walking is the fastest way.
Liang Chengdong swallowed his anger and watched as the villagers began to dismount as Miss Jun said they were setting up camp, and the people on the baggage truck also began to unload their tents. He also urged his horse forward to help.
Miss Jun got off the car and looked at the surrounding fields. Zhao Hanqing and the women began to cook rice, chatting and laughing very lively.
"Miss Jun, the price is indeed worth it." Mrs. Yu's voice came, "Miss Jun is so familiar with this place that she can walk with her eyes closed."
Miss Jun looked back and saw Mrs. Yu also getting off the carriage, accompanied by Liang Chengdong walking over.
It was supposed to be light and simple, but Miss Jun still prepared two carriages. After all, she didn't like to share a carriage with others, even though this Mrs. Yu was the person she was curious about.
Mrs. Yu seemed to be the same, very satisfied with her arrangement.
"If you don't have diamonds, you can't do porcelain work." Miss Jun said with a smile.
"But I think we could have been faster." Liang Chengdong couldn't help but interjected.
If we don't rescue those refugees along the way.
Miss Jun understands what he means.
Although we try to be quick and simple, it will still waste time in the end.
When Miss Jun wanted to say something, Mrs. Yu spoke first.
"Why are we going to Hejian?" she said, "It's not just for the people. The people there are refugees, and so are the people here. We are all refugees. We cannot ignore nature when we encounter it."
Liang Chengdong's face turned red and he backed away.
"He is just a rough guy. If you tell him a purpose, he will just run away without thinking." Mrs. Yu looked at Miss Jun and said.
Miss Jun smiled.
"But Madam, you can get through it with just a few words." She said, "Madam is really amazing."
This little girl had a sweet mouth, and Mrs. Yu laughed. She smiled and looked at the wilderness in front of her with a serious expression.
"The peace talks have not yet been completed, and the Jin soldiers have not yet entered the country. The road has been devastated." She said, lowering her head and digging a piece of soil from the ground. "It's such a good soil, but it's a pity that next year's spring plowing is over."
"So if you fight, you will live; if you don't fight, you will die." Miss Jun said, "They say that Duke Cheng is so happy with success and greedy for war, but they don't know that it is precisely for the sake of not fighting that Duke Cheng fights without retreating."
Mrs. Yu smiled and nodded.
"Miss Jun is indeed a good doctor and a top doctor," she said.
Go to medical school to help the country?
Miss Jun also smiled.
"Are we flattering each other?" she asked seriously.
Mrs. Yu laughed again, then thought of something and took out something from her sleeve and handed it over.
"What is this?" Miss Jun asked, looking at it as a red paper envelope.
"Today is the first day of the new year." Mrs. Yu said, "I'm giving you the lucky money."
First grade of junior high school?
Miss Jun smiled and reached out to take it.
"I'm already this old..." she said, with a bit of emotion.
I haven't received any New Year's money for several years.
First, her father and mother died, and then she got married and became an adult, not to mention receiving lucky money.
"In front of the elders, you will always be a child." Mrs. Yu smiled and pinched out another picture, "This one is for my son. He is very old."
Zhu Zan? How old? How could he be that old?
Miss Jun couldn't help laughing and was a little curious.
I wonder if Zhu Zan ever mentioned himself to Mrs. Yu?
"Sister Jun."
Zhao Hanqing's voice came.
"It's time to eat."
Miss Jun swallowed what she was about to say and stretched out her hand to greet Mrs. Yu. Mrs. Yu was not polite and put her hand on her arm naturally, stepping on the mud and walking towards the camp where the bonfire had been lit.
A few bamboos were thrown into the bonfire, and the sound of firecrackers rang out in the wilderness, spreading in the lonely night sky, adding a bit of New Year's atmosphere.
Under the same night sky, someone also threw a bamboo into the bonfire.
The crisp sound of firecrackers sounded one after another.
"My mother should give me New Year's money. I don't know if it will increase this year." Zhu Zan said, looking at the bonfire and scratching his nose.
Someone was walking over in a hurry. Hearing these words, his footsteps stopped, and his expression was complicated under the light of the bonfire.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. I'm not a delicate little lady. I can't bear any news." Zhu Zan said, as if there were eyes behind him.
"There is no news about Madam in Daming Mansion." The man whispered.
Zhu Zan's hand scratching his nose froze.
"There is no trace of Madam in the various state capitals leading to Daming Mansion." The man continued.
Zhu Zan's hand slowly scratched his nose.
"My mother's trip to be a lobbyist must be something that many people are not willing to do and will definitely stop her. It is normal for her to keep her whereabouts secret." He said, his voice a little relaxed, "Besides, we have already negotiated a peace, and mother also knows about Uncle Qinghe.
The coward will definitely not cooperate with my father again, there is no need to go, maybe he has turned around and gone back."
The man behind him said nothing.
Only the crackling sound of the bonfire was heard.
"If there is any bad news, let's talk about it together." Zhu Zan turned around and said angrily.
The face of the man illuminated by the bonfire suddenly brightened and darkened.
"Five thousand gold soldiers have entered Bazhou from Langcheng Village," he said.
In the end, Cheng Guogong's defense was broken.
"Fuck." Zhu Zan looked at the bonfire and cursed, and the people jumped up, "Continue on your way."
Figures of people jumped up in the night all around, and horses neighed and galloped through the night with a burst of noise.
But even if the horse takes wings and flies, it cannot reach the far north in the blink of an eye.
………………………………
News came from Bazhou Prefecture that Hejian Prefecture was already in chaos.
As early as a few months ago, refugees from three states continued to arrive, and the number has been even greater in the past few days.
But the government suddenly issued an order to close the city gates and prevent refugees from entering.
There was a wailing outside the few forts located on the boundary of the government, especially those near Bazhou.
"Sir, those are our people."
In the official office in Changfeng City, several generals roared with red eyes, seemingly unable to see the official robes of the military officers and civilian officials in front of them, and forgetting their rank.
"Are we just going to watch them being slaughtered by gold thieves?" they shouted in confusion.
Li Guorui, the conductor of the Changfeng Army, didn't look too good either, and his face was trembling slightly.
"Do I think?" He also shouted, "Five thousand gold soldiers have arrived in Bazhou and will rush into Hejian in the next moment. For the sake of those refugees, do I ignore the people in Hejian?"
Sun Sanjie, the county magistrate here, also sighed.
"We are the barrier between the rivers. Once it is broken, the whole river will be destroyed." He sighed and said with a sad smile, "As for Bazhou, there may not be massacres. Those people will be the people of the Jin people from now on.
.”
Bazhou is about to be ceded to the Jin people, and everyone knows this news.
These words made the atmosphere in the hall even more tense, and one general cursed.
"Why did a good man suddenly become a golden man?" he shouted, "I can't watch these people crying outside the castle. I can't tell them that we don't want them anymore. They are golden men. I can't say this.
exit."
Li Guorui shouted at him angrily.
"We have no reinforcements. All the nearby soldiers have retreated. How are you going to save them?" he shouted, "If Duke Cheng Guo can't hold on, how can we people hold on?"
Yes, there are no reinforcements. Once the city gate is opened and the Jin people rush in, it will be difficult for them to fight.
The general stopped and clenched his fists.
There were soldiers outside the door cautiously probing their heads.
"Sir," he said with some uneasiness, "a group of people came outside, they said they were reinforcements."
Reinforcements?
Everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment.
"Where are the reinforcements coming at this time?" Li Guorui asked, "Which army?"
The soldiers looked even more worried.
"I don't know which army it is." He said, pointing outside, "I just said it is the Qingshan Army."
