The sound of hooves and the sparkling of wheels. On the Dongtao Plain, a procession more than a mile long slowly marched towards the north.

Most of the people in the procession were horse-drawn carriages, and the ruts left deep marks on the ground as the wheels moved, apparently carrying the weight of the goods on them.

Several sturdy knights galloped back and forth in front of and behind the convoy, and from time to time they let out reprimands to urge the convoy to move.

In the middle, on a light car that looked quite gorgeous, the curtain was slightly raised, and a young man's face poked out. When he saw the knight who happened to be galloping by, he hurriedly showed a flattering smile and greeted: "Third brother, do you want to drink some honey, I asked someone to buy it from the capital." ”

Immediately, the knight stopped his horse, waved his hand, and motioned to his companions to slow down their horses, so that the horses could slowly move side by side with the chariot. He turned his head and scolded with a smile: "Bah, which is rare for your soft stepping thing, you can keep it for yourself, our guys are good at this." As he spoke, he reached out and patted the skin on his waist.

The young man looked embarrassed, raised his hand and scratched his head, a little overwhelmed. Someone in the car seemed to be whispering something, the young man showed a look of surprise on his face, turned back, and when he leaned out again, he was holding a leather bag in his hand, and shouted at the third brother: "Yes, yes, third brother, I also have something that the master likes." Look, isn't it?" said him, tossing the leather in his hand at the knight.

The third brother sighed, raised his eyebrows, and reached out to catch the skin. I immediately pulled the cork, and suddenly a rich aroma of wine wafted out.

"Ha, is it Xinghua Village? You have such a good thing, not bad. He boasted as he took a deep sniff and a look of intoxication on his face. But instead of drinking it immediately, he put on the plug and threw the skin to a companion beside him.

The companion smiled and took it, and carefully hung the leather bag around his waist. Don't look at this as just a private soldier, but it has always been based on the rules of the regular army, and you can't drink alcohol unless you are ordered, if you violate it, you will lose your head.

It's not impossible to drink alcohol, but you have to wait until you are stationed and report to the higher authorities for approval. This is also because the third brother is one of the young masters of the family, so he has this treatment. If you try to change to an ordinary pawn, the military law will teach you how to be a man in minutes.

Over there, the third brother got a good wine, and his rugged face showed undisguised joy, and even his attitude towards the young man became closer.

"Xiao Meng, you said that you just got married, and you don't want to accompany your delicate wife at home, why do you have to follow this trip? ”

The third brother laughed, and laughed out loud at the end. Several companions next to him also followed with a wicked smile, and their faces showed expressions that all men understand.

There was a faint sound of chirping in the carriage, and it was obvious that the nonsense of a few men made the people inside a little unbearable.

Xiao Meng showed a stupid look, but it was not easy to attack, so he had to say helplessly: "The third brother is here to look down on people, I ...... I'm pretty good. Well, it's amazing!"

"Very powerful?hahaha, how good are you?" The third brother was very amused when he saw the young man arguing with his neck stiff, and couldn't help but laugh again. All the men next to him also coaxed, making the young Xiaomeng's face flush.

Just as he was about to say something, it seemed that the person in the carriage had moved again, Xiao Meng suffocated back, and stiffly diverted the topic: "Jun...... The gentleman is cautious in his words, and does not ...... I won't tell you...... Hmm, third brother, how far is it from that new city? It's been more than half a month. ”

The third brother stopped laughing, turned his head and glanced into the distance, nodded and said, "It's not far, turn the red salt pond in front, and then pass the Quye River." Ha, can't you stand it? I told you not to come and listen, you have to come, do you know the pain now?"

Xiao Meng stalked his neck again, and his face showed dissatisfaction, but before he could say anything, he flew in the distance, and immediately hugged his fists when he arrived, and said loudly: "Third master, the second master called you over, and there is something to discuss." ”

The third brother sighed, nodded and said I know. Then he waved at Xiao Meng, turned the horse's head, shouted, and galloped back with a few companions, and soon disappeared.

On the car, Xiao Meng watched a few people go away, with a look of envy on his face. Half a sound, only then did he retract sullenly. Then, the curtain of the carriage was lowered, and several intermittent voices came from inside.

“…… Don't have to...... What's new about that....... laugh at me......."

“………”

"Okay, well, according to you, all according to you...... No, I ...... Uh-huh, hmm......."

The woman's voice was inaudible, only the man's voice sounded from time to time, but it soon faded into a few laughs and unspeakable strange sounds.

On the other side, the third brother, who was ordered to gallop behind, ran to the front of the Chinese army, held down the reins in front of the three equally rough knights, clenched his fists and said in a rough voice: "Big brother, second brother, fourth brother, what are you calling me for?"

The eldest brother and the second brother glanced at each other, and they both shook their heads helplessly. The fourth brother next to him came over, and looked at the waist of the third brother's companion, his eyes shining. Obviously, he found the skin given by Xiao Meng, and he was a little eager to grab it.

The third brother's face turned pale, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it, and said angrily: "Fourth, don't even think about it! I haven't even tasted it yet." ”

The fourth child froze his face, but immediately changed his flattering smile and came up to grind. The brothers were entangled in each other's hands.

"Okay, let's get down to business, you both stop and stop. The second brother shook his head with a wry smile, and interrupted the two of them with words.

The third brother and the fourth brother all stopped, and they all turned their heads to look over.

The second brother beckoned the two of them to come closer, his face turned solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Mo sent someone to pass the news, saying that a group of horse bandits had sneaked over, telling us to be careful, and Hugh is going to get on the road......"

He elaborated on the news he had just received, and finally said: "You two widen your eyes, extend the scout five miles outward, but if you find a suspicious person, don't ask anything else, take it down first and then talk about it." This matter must not be careless, otherwise our brother will be embarrassed, but if we lose the face of my Fengxiang Chang family, then it will be a big matter. ”

It turned out that this team was none other than the four Chang brothers who had made trouble with Su Mo in the past. This time, I got Su Mo's message, and I set off for it more than half a month ago. It's just that this time, at Su Mo's request, he also has to gather the big businessmen and wealthy people in Shaanxi, which is really not fast. After almost everyone was ready, they went on the road, and they stopped and stopped, until recently, they stepped into the boundary of the Dongtao Plain.

At this time, the two brothers were told to the second Chang Leopard. Among the four brothers, he has always been positioned as a think tank, and the other three brothers, including the eldest Chang Hu, all take him as the leader.

After the Chang family was from Yongle, as they moved away from the court, they began to gradually decline. If it is according to the original history, this decline will become more and more aggravated, and finally disappear in the tide of history.

But now in this time and space, with Su Mo's birth, last time with the nonsense of the children, the Chang family had the hope of rising again, which made the Chang family overjoyed, so this time he did not hesitate to use all his strength, which led to this large-scale outburst.

But it is precisely because of this that the old lady of the Chang family, before the brothers left, told the four brothers to be cautious and never fall into the glory of the ancestors. Even if you don't seek merit but no fault, as long as you can firmly occupy a place in this city building, everything will be fine.

You know, after all, the Chang family was purged because they stood on the wrong team. The mistakes of the political team, no matter what dynasty or generation, will be a catastrophe. Unless there is a change of dynasty, or a fundamental change at the top, it is difficult to hope for a rise.

Now because of Su Mo, it can not only make today's favor, but also seem to be inseparable from the prince, as long as he can hold this thigh tightly, the Chang family does not dare to say that he will return to the peak of the past again, but it is no longer excluded and suppressed, but it is a certainty.

Therefore, the four brothers of the Chang family traveled this time, and it was different from the last time. They are no longer just random messes of children, they can ignore everything and have fun at will. What they represent this time is the famous "Chang 100,000" family in the past, Kaiping Palace!

Because of this, even Chang Xiong and Chang Zhen, who are the most noisy on weekdays, are all pressed and honestly move with the army, not daring to mess around.

At this time, hearing the second brother's advice again, Chang Xiong and Chang Zhen glanced at each other, both of them were awe-inspiring and taught, and they hugged their fists and promised.

Seeing that this had been said, Chang Xiong suddenly thought of something, turned his head and looked around, and said suspiciously: "Hey, why don't you see a cold face?" He asked Xu Guangzuo, who came to Fengxiang to convey Su Mo's invitation that day.

Chang Hu said: "Guangzuo left first. ”

Chang Xiong was stunned for a moment, and said with a sigh: "Where did you go?"

Chang Hu smiled: "Don't you know his temperament, since you know that there are bandits who want to make trouble, how can he wait here." Since I went to the front to inquire alone, I guessed that if he was really found, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to wait for us to make a move. It's a pity, it's a ”

He sighed, a look of undisguised regret on his face. Among the four brothers, don't look at him as the boss, it stands to reason that he should be the most stable. But in fact, including Chang Bao, the second child with the fastest brain, when it comes to home, he is still dominated by martial artists. Every time I hear about a war or something, it's like a small New Year, and the itch in my heart is not wanted.

But this caravan of merchants with them was the focus of Su Mo's message, and he didn't dare to go to Chuan Huan'er easily, he had to watch it with twelve points of spirit. Therefore, he could only watch Xu Guangzuo go by himself with envy.

Chang Xiong sighed, and said angrily: "This cold face, unrighteous anger! Such a good deal, how can one person eat alone? No, I have to chase him, how can this kind of excitement fall on me?"

Chang Zhen next to him also screamed excitedly, and followed with all his fists. Chang Hu and Chang Leopard's face changed, Chang Leopard glanced at the eldest brother complainingly, and reprimanded him: "You two are messing around! What you just said in vain? Give me honesty, this time I just need to bring these caravan merchants over, it will be a great achievement." Waiting for the delivery of errands, are you afraid that there will be no excitement to catch up?"

Chang Xiong was often in mourning, so he had to give up with a bitter face. Chang Leopard's face turned colored, but he also lamented in his heart. Unbridled waves, who doesn't want to be a grandson, I'm also desperate, okay? Alas, damn cold face, go back and settle accounts with him!

After this episode, the team regained its composure and continued to move forward slowly. On this day, suddenly a report came from the front, and a suspicious horse team with an unknown flag was found, and everyone's eyes instantly shone brightly.......
