IV. 310 Timely rain

The sky was slightly bright, and Yin Lei, dressed in military uniform, had already arrived at the riverside camp. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The normal march from Huijiang to Taiping is that the cavalry will take at least six or seven days, and Yin Lei must arrive within three days.

After Taiping, there are still hundreds of miles away from Fengze Lake, where is the boundary of Ziyun, Yin Lei can't rush like this anymore, so he must squeeze out more time.

When he arrived at the barracks, Yin Lei didn't even have time to eat, and after changing to a mount, he came to the riverside.

In the distance, a group of several luxurious carriages were setting off on the other side, looking at the team escorting the carriage, Yin Lei knew that this was a big force, but he definitely didn't expect that it was his nemesis Zhou Jiliang sitting in the car.

When he came to the river, Yin Lei was dumbfounded, only to see that the five people who lined up to cross the river were also discharged dozens of feet away, although there were four big ships working hard, but it was impossible to think that there would be more than two hours in the past.

Seeing this, Yin Lei was a little anxious, thinking that he would have to wait at least a morning, and suddenly Yin Lei's heart moved and ran towards the barracks again.

"This brother, there is an urgent report to be sent to Taiping, but there are too many people at the ferry, I wonder if we have a ferry in our headquarters that can be used?"

Yin Lei came to the barracks and asked the sergeant guarding the door, and smiled when he saw Yin Lei dressed as a messenger.

"Yesterday, our army requisitioned all the ferries to cross the river, so a large number of passengers were stranded, and it was difficult for you to queue up to cross the river normally, but our ferries were also busy yesterday, and everyone was tired and half dead to go back to rest, unless you can find Xue Tianhua, the deputy chief soldier in charge of shipping, it will be difficult."

Yin Lei's current identity is a genuine messenger, so he can ask the local governor to cooperate with his actions through normal channels.

"May I ask where is this Xue Zongbing?"

"He crossed the river to see off General Lou, he was also tired for a day, he had to rest on the eighth floor for a night tonight, and he had to come back tomorrow.

Although this Lou general Yin Lei has not seen but heard of it, he is the deputy general of General Zhao, and when Huijiang was besieged last time, he took 50,000 horses to hold on here for more than half a month.

Yin Lei was dumbfounded when he heard this, and suddenly his heart moved: "Brother Tai, may I ask if there is a ferry on our special pier?" ”

"I don't know about this, you can go and see for yourself."

Yin Lei just wanted to leave, and suddenly remembered something and asked, "I don't know how many of us crossed the river to Taiping yesterday?" ”

"There are 40,000 or 50,000 of them, and I heard that there are nearly 100,000 auxiliary troops."

"Thank you, brother, for your advice."

Yin Lei said goodbye to the gatekeeper and immediately turned his horse's head and rushed to the riverside outside Lixu, turning a special ferry for the military in sight, Yin Lei was immediately overjoyed when he saw it, only to see several boats parked by the river.

Yin Lei immediately slapped his horse and hurried, and when he was still more than ten zhang away from the river, he only heard a slightly hoarse voice shouting: "Who dares to trespass on the important land in the army and don't want to live?" ”

Yin Lei hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Here is a messenger sent to Taiping, because there are too many people at the rich wharf, so I want to ask you brothers to take me across the river for convenience." ”

"No, yesterday the masters were tired all day, and they didn't fall asleep until four shifts in the morning, and they woke you up as soon as you closed your eyes, if it weren't for the fact that you were a messenger, I would have beaten you up for disturbing my dreams, don't you get out of here, when will you cross the river and pass my?"

Yin Lei frowned when he heard this, what this person said was really angry, but when he thought that people were also busy in the middle of the night, he let himself figure it out when he fell asleep, no wonder people were angry.

He really wanted to abandon the horse and find a no-man's place to fly over alone, and then go to the other side to buy a horse, but after thinking about it, forget it, there must be a lot of the other party's meticulous work near the crossing of the army, in case the secret cultivators or the secret agents of the Ziyun Sect near the army find out, there must be big trouble, so it is better for him to secretly fly at night.

Thinking of this, Yin Lei had already come to the riverside, he got off the horse, regardless of whether the people on the boat agreed or not, and went straight to the gangplank.

There were two people on the deck who were leaning on the side of the ship in a daze, and when they saw Yin Lei on the boat, they couldn't help but be angry and said: "Boy, don't think that if you are a messenger, I won't dare to do anything to you, you will have to bear the beating of you." ”

As he spoke, one of the men with thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly jumped up and grabbed Yin Lei's collar by the neck.

But he obviously saw that he had caught Yin Lei, but there was nothing in his hand.

"Why is Brother Tai so angry? You won't suffer if you send me across the river. ”

The man turned his head suddenly, and he tried to say something, but he suddenly paused, and what was in front of him was a silver ingot weighing ten taels.

"It's ......."

"Brother Tai, as the so-called emperor is not a hungry soldier, how can the little brother in the morning let you be busy in vain? Please smile at this bit of silver, the younger brother really needs to go to Taiping in an emergency, how about asking the brother to ask for a convenience? ”

"This ...... Of course there is no problem, Liu Laosan, Lao Wu, Lao Ma and Xiao He got up to work, hurry up and don't delay this brother's rich time. ”

As he spoke, his face changed to a smile, and then he kicked the man who had been sleeping with him just now.

Yin Lei couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw it, 'Money is really everything', and then turned around and went down to lead the horse.

Soon after, Yin Lei galloped towards Qingjin Town from the other side, and when he came to the vicinity of Qingjin Town, his brow furrowed again.

I saw that on the official road leading through Qingjin Town, eight floors of the three-zhang-wide official road were occupied by the southbound army, and the remaining little road had various cavalry rushing back and forth from time to time to convey various orders, and most of the pedestrians were crowded to the side of the road.

In the north of Qingjin Town, countless armies and baggage were still waiting to hit the road, and many people in the town were pausing to see that many of them were carrying things, obviously wanting to hurry.

Then Yin Lei retracted his gaze, stretched out his hand and took out a flag embroidered with the word 'urgent' from the horse's back, and then inserted the flag into his back, flicked the horsewhip lightly, and galloped towards the small road that was only wide.

Seeing that it was a messenger passing by, and the heralds who were speeding along the way also gave way, Yin Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it, it seemed that he had not prepared this identity in vain.

That's it, Yin Lei's speed can't be let go, there are too many people on the side of the road.

After a while, Yin Leixu finally entered Qingjin Town, and at this time, there were more people on the road, and the people waiting to cross the street on both sides crowded the intersection.

There is a huge village courtyard in the south of Qingjin Town, this courtyard is too big, there are hundreds of acres in circumference, although the most expensive land in Qingjin Town is in the north, but it is not ordinary people who can do such a big house here.

Just as Yin Lei stepped on the shore, a group of fifty or sixty people arrived here.

Seeing the four big words of 'Wanhua Villa' on the gate, Zhou Jiliang, who had a bad face, finally showed a smile, because the road was too narrow, they were forced to abandon the car and walk, which made him feel angry in his heart, and it was only at this time that his mood was slightly better, because he knew that there was a lovely person he had been thinking about for a long time.

He was in a good mood, but an old woman in the distance who was looking at him trembled and almost fell.

It was an ordinary peasant woman, who looked to be in her sixties, with goosebumps on her face and dark eyes, and just as her body trembled, the crutch in her hand slammed into the ground more than half a foot with a 'poof'.

Then a burst of cold light suddenly shot out of her originally dim eyes, but when she saw Zhou Jiliang's four extraordinary top masters on the side, her heart immediately cooled, and then she found that the four top masters and Zhou Jiliang were all in awe of the melon skin hat, and it was even more like being struck by lightning.

"It's ...... Sword Immortal. ”

She murmured a whisper of despair in her eyes.

There were already several top masters in this Wanhua Villa, but now there are four masters of the same level, and even a sword immortal, so that she doesn't even have a chance to get lucky.

Two lines of clear tears flowed down instantly, and she said softly: "Miss, since I can't save you, then I won't live alone." ”

Speaking of this, she straightened up, and her thin and withered body suddenly rose a few inches, and at the same time, a powerful momentum was also revealed, and the people around him immediately noticed that something was wrong and retreated.

Just when she was about to take risks regardless of everything, a gong sound came from not far away, and she saw dozens of tall horses coming out of the restaurant not far away and starting to turn on the official road.

Immediately, dozens of majestic generals embraced the two of them and walked in the front, these two people were tall and mighty and a thin spirit, after these people appeared, countless elite soldiers appeared one after another to occupy all the official roads that had occupied eight floors.

Seeing this, she hesitated, if she forcibly attacked at this time, it was very likely to cause the interference of these soldiers, and it was possible that she would be captured without killing any of her enemies.

Thinking of this, she suppressed the anger that was already erupting.

But at this moment, a messenger with a banner with the word "urgent" behind him appeared, and seeing that the elite soldiers pouring out from the side were about to close the road, the messenger slapped his horse hard and was about to rush over.

If these people are allowed to go ahead, it will be difficult for him to overtake them.

But the ordinary soldiers made way for him, but these elite soldiers who poured out from behind were different, and several of them stopped the road and said coldly: "General Lou travels, stop the horse and give way." ”

"I have an urgent ......."

The elite soldiers led by him turned pale and said, "Nothing can stop the general's trip." ”

At this moment, the thinner of the two people suddenly shouted: "Xuanyuan, why are you so anxious to come out, come to me." ”

Yin Lei was anxious, and when he heard the familiar call, he looked up, but found that it was Xiao Qiang, a fast knife, who shouted him, Yin Lei couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it, last night he heard Chen Qinglong say that Mr. Xiao had been going to Taiping for several days, but he didn't expect to meet here.

The thoughts in his heart were racing, Yin Lei had already collected the word 'urgent' and pulled his horse to Xiao Qiang, and these elite soldiers also had surprise on their faces when they heard Xiao Qiang's words, so they all got out of the way and let Yin Lei pass.

In the distance, when Xiao Qiang shouted the word 'Xuanyuan', the old woman's eyes also fell on Yin Lei, and suddenly her tears could no longer help rolling down, and when she was in need of help, the person she missed in her heart miraculously appeared.
