If you want to say which of the two is more reluctant to be fat, it must be Chu Hao.

Chu Hao's spoiling of animals is almost unprincipled. Ruan Bai would often teach the two fat men a lesson, but Chu Hao was bitten by the fat men and broke so many pairs of shoes, and he never saw him really angry. Half of the members of the two demolition teams were used to being by Chu Hao.

However, just like Ruan Bai's concerns, even Chu Hao knew more about the situation in the capital than Ruan Bai. Not to mention anything else, the third family will definitely not be as free in the capital as they are in Shunyangguan.

In Shunyang Pass, there will be people who can't recognize General Cao and Chu Hao, but there will be no people who don't know the third family. Whether it's their appearance, or the contributions/damages they usually make, there are always people talking about it.

At the very least, those soldiers who were bitten by the fat men and broke their heels must remember the big fat and the little fat firmly.

Before dawn the next day, Ruan Bai was swollen with a pair of walnut eyes, and Chu Hao's eye sockets were also red, but they were not conspicuous in a group of people who stayed up all night and didn't sleep.

Chu Hao ordered two hundred soldiers yesterday, and all the items were ready, and the prisoner cart holding the Hun prince also followed the team and arrived at the gate of the post station.

General Cao personally pressed the formation, but because his foot injury was not yet healed, he was now sitting in a carriage, not with a carriage, but with a flatbed car, which looked a little funny.

The things that should have been explained have already been explained, and there was no special handover ceremony between General Cao and Chu Hao, but he lit the prisoner cart with a torch and checked it to make sure that the Hun prince was alive. In just a few days, the Hun prince has almost changed. You don't have to get close to smell the stench on your body, your clothes are in tatters, your whole head is covered in knotted hair and beard, and you can see some fleas burrowing in and out......

Ruan Bai's side is also ready. His own horse still carries cubs, which obviously cannot be used to pull carts. In order to keep up with the speed of the team, the donkey cart ox cart obviously could not be used. Although this time it was official business, he could use the horses of the post house. But he originally thought that the two men didn't have much to do, but as soon as they packed up, they traveled in three carriages. Chu Hao's books alone have to have a small half car.

Chu Hao still felt a little little, and sighed: "My second brother is really good at supporting the family." In the end, I still wronged Ruan Bai.

The three wagons were not full, and the luggage was actually one car. The rest are to sit people. After a long journey, even Ruan Bai didn't plan to ride a horse all the time.

Obsidian circled around the carriage and was pushed aside by Ruan Bai with a slap: "Go away." In the way, he pushed Chu Hao away again, "Busy with your going." ”

Chu Hao has nothing to do now, just as the leader of the team this time, he will check the team again at the end.

The third family squatted at the door of the post station with some puzzlement, looking at Ruan Bai for a while, and Chu Hao for a while.

Ruan Bai's nose was sour, he couldn't help his tears and was about to fall again, he didn't dare to blink, trotted to General Cao's side, and whispered: "Big brother, the third one, they ......."

General Cao patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, one day when your eldest brother is here, no one in the entire Shunyang Pass will dare to bully their family!" Moreover, he felt that as soon as Ruan Bai left, the third child would go back to the grassland directly.

"Thank you, big brother." Ruan Bai sniffed, felt the warm weight on his legs, and bent down to hug the little fat who came over, "Little fat should be good." ”

Xiaopang hadn't woken up yet, his head was pillowed on Ruan Bai's shoulder, and he opened his mouth and yawned big.

Chu Hao walked to the front of the team and shouted, "Get on the horse!" ”

Ruan Bai let go of Xiaopang and turned over on the obsidian's back.

The sky is slightly light, and the shadows of the white-toothed trees on both sides of the official road are sufficient. The autumn wind blew people couldn't help but shrink their necks.

Tang Yan and the others sat in a spacious carriage and subconsciously rubbed their hands and faces.

The wheels creaked slightly, and the horseshoe-nailed horses strode along.

The big fat tilted his head, suddenly stood up and rushed to the back of the line, and began to scream.

Chubby looked up at his father, and then saw his mother rushing over and slapping Big Fat over. Big Fat rolled around on the ground, and he was still a little dizzy when he got up.

The third child walked to the official road with Xiaopang, watched the team gradually become a small dot, and then disappeared on the horizon.

The dust raised by the horse team slowly calmed down as the sun rose. The four dogs stood on the official road and did not move.

General Cao didn't move, sat on the cart, drove away the others, and watched them silently. Until Zhang Dahu came out again and shouted: "The third and fourth are fat and fat, it's time to eat!" ”

The third child shook his ears, looked back at Zhang Dahu, and didn't move.

Xiaopang moved, ran fast, and didn't stop passing by Zhang Dahu's side. After a while, it came out of the room with a large backpack in its mouth.

This backpack was made by Ruan Bai and Chu Hao. The third and fourth are not used to it, and there is one big fat and little fat. Ruan Bai would often prepare some food and water and put it inside.

Xiaopang put the backpack at Zhang Dahu's feet and motioned for him to help him carry it. After the backpack was secured, it ran to the third child with a smoke: "Wang! ”

Big Fat also followed Little Fat into the door, carried the bulging backpack on his back, and turned around in the direction of the grassland.

Seeing this, General Cao let out a long sigh and said to the guards who were driving, "Let's go, send them out." ”

The gate facing the grassland, which is open to the city, is basically not open except for the entry and exit of the patrolling soldiers. But the number of guards was the largest.

On this day, the soldiers guarding the city gate saw General Cao send four dogs out of the city gate, and sent them all the way to the city......

Chu Hao walked at the front of the team, and no one knew what expression he had on his face.

Ruan Bai walked in the middle of the group, obsidian was a cut taller than the average horse, a small white face stood out in a pile of soy sauce eggs, and as the sun rose, a pair of walnut eyes on his face were simply red lanterns hanging high.

Several nearby soldiers looked at him, and then at him again a moment.

Ruan Bai was disturbed by this little look, turned around and glared at them fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Let you look at the prisoner, am I a prisoner?" ”

Several soldiers were stunned, and their backs were even straighter: "Thank you Lord Ruan for mentioning this." ”

These people are all the elites around Chu Hao, especially the circle guarding the prisoner car, and the weakest is also a general flag. This is still the military merit of this great war has not yet been distributed, otherwise more than half of it can rise again.

Escorting the Hun Prince, this road will definitely not be peaceful. As the last line of defense in the team, it goes without saying how much responsibility they have. However, they were distracted just now, but fortunately Ruan Bai reminded them.

Just out of Shunyang Pass, there will be no problems on this part of the road. There must be Hun forces in the pass, whether it is the Huns who have mixed in, or the meticulous work that has been bought by the Huns, there will be no less. There are also some outlaws, as long as the price is sufficient, willing to be used by the Huns.

However, this piece is not far from the border pass where the army is stationed, and they have just set off, and they are all strong and energetic. Idiots don't choose to do it at such a time.

This kind of escort made people's spirits very tense, and the order of the brain pump even made them take the Hun prince on a parade along the way......

Well, he can understand that this is to raise the morale of the people. Just like two adults fighting, Zhang San was beaten by Li Si to the point of bleeding, and Li Si was very shameless and often beat Lao Tzu and boys. This time, Zhang San raised his eyebrows and exhaled, not only broke Li Si's leg, but also arrested Li Si's son alive, quickly pulled it out for a walk, and showed his own children, your father is still very capable!

But there are too many variables to be encountered in the process.

This kind of enemy is dark and clear, and Ruan Bai is especially uncomfortable. In the past, he was secretly scrambling to do something and plan something.

When I passed through Leyang Town, it was still early, and I almost didn't encounter any obstacles, so I walked through it directly. Thirty miles further on, they would pass by a post station, where the procession would stop for a moment, have a bite to eat, and give the horses a rest.

They would pass through a total of ninety-seven such stations along the way, representing nearly three thousand miles, equivalent to 1,500 kilometers. However, the establishment of the post station will not strictly abide by the standard of thirty miles and one post. The Great Perimeter is vast, from Shunyang Pass to the capital, I don't know how many mountains and rivers are separated in the middle.

Ruan Bai is a post man, of course, he knows that there is also a "urgent" classification in the delivery message, which is generally 300 miles expedited, that is, 300 miles a day; The fastest is 600 miles expedited, that is, 600 miles a day.

What is the speed at which a horse can run continuously? Like the Obsidian, the fastest can run up to 60 kilometers per hour, which is about the speed of a medium-sized motorcycle, and it won't last long. With this configuration in the team now, as well as a carriage and a prisoner's carriage, it is already thankful that it can be maintained for an hour and twenty miles, which is comparable to a lady-type small battery. You have to remove the breaks......

Ruan Bai felt powerless when he thought about it, how long would it take to go?

As the team set off again, the temperature rose. The carriage was getting stuffy, and in the carriage Fang Yu and Master Zhang were sitting on one side, and Tang Yan and the three of them were sitting opposite.

Tang Yan moved his butt uncomfortably, and said without words: "It's a little hot." ”

Master Zhang suffered a big crime in Shunyang Pass, and the whole person was in a trance. It's not that General Cao is short of him to eat and drink, although he has lost a little weight, but he is definitely not as skinny as Cheng Dù. And probably because he didn't see the sun, the whole person was a lot whiter, and sitting with Fang Yu, a grassland man, was the same as black and white impermanence.

When he was eating just now, he probably finally found that the carriage had left the boundary of Shunyang Pass, and immediately trembled, shouting at Chu Hao: "Ridiculous! dared to treat this official like this, and when he arrived in the capital, Zhang Mou would definitely make it clear to His Majesty and let His Majesty condemn you! ”

Chu Hao's expression didn't move, and he directly knocked Master Zhang unconscious with a punch, and ordered: "Someone, Lord Zhang is motion sick, hurry up and help him to the car." After speaking, he didn't look at Master Zhang, who was unconscious on the ground, and walked away.

Tang Yan didn't have much sympathy for Master Zhang. Besides, they are powerless literati, how can they move such a heavy person? And they pretended not to see, and ate to the eater, and the drinker to drink.

This person relied on nepotism, and he was exceptionally promoted to the Ministry of Industry, and there were usually five or six people in the yamen, except for Lord Shangshu, even a few waiters did not look at him. This kind of strange thing is also rare in the world, and everyone in the whole Ministry of Engineering sees it as a joke, just to see when this "Uncle Guo" killed himself.

But Master Zhang didn't know it at all, and thought that everyone would give him face, and he became more and more rampant. Now that he is rampant directly in front of Chu Hao, he still wants the emperor to condemn Chu Hao, what kind of crime? Don't say that Chu Hao is not guilty, to put it bluntly, Chu Hao slaughtered him, see if the emperor will be guilty?

As soon as Chu Hao said his position, the soldiers below naturally followed suit. They were busy taking care of the horses and bags, and when they were about to set off, someone carried Master Zhang and threw them into the carriage, and then was put in the most unobstructed/depressed corner by Fang Yu.

Fang Yu looks like a mother, after shaving off his beard, his facial features look like a Zhou person, except for being a little taller, there is nothing surprising about it.

Tang Yan and the others only knew that Fang Yu came back with Chu Hao, but they didn't know the details, and they didn't dare to inquire, "motion sickness" or something was definitely not a correct way to hurry.

When talking to people, Fang Yu's reaction was always two or three beats slower, and he didn't understand Da Zhou's dialect very well, so his reaction was even slower. After Tang Yan finished speaking, he waited for a long time, Fang Yu kept staring at him in a daze, and Tang Yan was uncomfortable with him.

Fang Yu: "Hmm. ”

Tang Yan: What are you doing? I've forgotten what I just asked you!

Fang Yu continued to stare at Tang Yan in a daze, and after a while, as if he remembered something, he took out a small notebook from a secret compartment and handed it to Tang Yan: "Teach." "That's what Ergou said~

Tang Yan took the small notebook, and there was a big character on one page in it, a total of ten words. Although I don't quite understand why he wants to become a teacher as an official of the Ministry of Works, he is sitting anyway, and it is not difficult to teach ten words. Besides, it's better to be a teacher than to be stared at all the time.

Tang Yan flipped the booklet to the first page: "This first word ......"

"Tuk Tuk", the carriage was lightly knocked twice, Fang Yu opened the curtain to take a look, and greeted with a smile: "Ergou...... Good! ”

Ruan Bai rode obsidian on the side, and said helplessly: "Maomao is good." After greeting him, he reached out and got into the carriage with a hook, his movements light as a butterfly.

When he got into the carriage, he did not sit, but reached out to support the roof of the carriage, and with two clicks, a hole was opened in the middle of the roof plate, and then he stretched out his hand and pulled it, and a light blue tulle covered the hot sun, leaving only the breeze to blow in.

After getting it done, Ruan Bai flipped out again: "Mao Mao seriously followed Master Tang to read and write." ”

Fang Maomao: "Hmm. ”

Ruan Bai smiled and rode back to the prisoner cart on Obsidian. The prisoner car was originally "open-topped", which was much more luxurious than the sunroof version.

There was no rest at noon, and the hungry ate some dry food on horseback.

Chu Hao knew that Ruan Bai had left Shunyang Pass so far for the first time, so he took the time to come over and explain: "This journey is not bad, strive to arrive at Yongting Station before sunset today." ”

So there was no rest all the way, but fortunately the land here was sparsely populated, and there was no decent city, and occasionally passing by two or three small towns, the people looked at the cavalry of more than two hundred people, and they were already frightened and weak, and did not dare to approach at all.

Even so, it was the Yongting Station that arrived at the end of the day. It's been dark for a while.

Without much explanation, Ruan Bai knew why Chu Hao had to rush here. From afar, he saw the dark shadows of the mountains, and now at the foot of the mountain, even if he could only see a little bit, the feeling of being surrounded by cliffs seemed to be pressed down, which made people very uncomfortable.

The post man of Yongting Station is an old man with gray hair, and there are only two post guards. Seeing so many people in their group, the old man almost fell down in fright, but Ruan Bai's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the person, and after verifying the official document, Lao Yicheng was relieved.

Lao Yicheng walked in front with a lampstand to lead the way: "You all come in, you can't live in the post station, and there is not enough food." ”

Yongting Yi is like this old post man, the houses are so old that they can't be done, and wherever they step on it, they can make a squeaky sound that makes people's teeth ache.

Ruan Bai followed: "It doesn't matter, you can prepare as much as you can." See how many people can live? "You have to arrange a vigil at night, and you can't sleep all of them. Although the post house looks old, the place is not small, and if you make a floor shop, it is estimated that seventy or eighty people can fit it.

Like this kind of official business, in fact, I have already greeted the post stations in various places in advance. The inn was originally like a guest house, and it had to provide food and lodging for officials who came and went, as well as standards. It's just a greeting and greeting, in such a short period of time, if more than 200 people can be raised to eat and drink, it is estimated that Ruan Bai alone can do it. You must know that in general, the life of a post station in a remote area like this is very hard. Moreover, even if Yicheng took the official document to the local county government to ask for money and food...... Hehe, which onion is Yicheng?

Even if Ruan Bai doesn't have common sense, he will always take precautions. After the autumn harvest, they did not lack food, and the weather became colder, so things were easy to preserve, so they prepared dry food for three days overnight, and brought enough rice and noodles, and each of them kept his own part. As for the spices, even simple cooking utensils, they were all packed in Ruan Bai's luggage.

After a day of carriage riding/a day of horseback riding, everyone went down and walked twice. Ruan Bai noticed that there were about twenty horsemen, quietly hidden in the night, and should have gone to explore the surroundings.

Then, by the way, they picked up a lot of firewood and came back, and they also brought a bunch of pheasants and a bunch of rabbits.

Ruan Bai: It's really elite. The lights in the house were not very bright, and the outside was almost out of sight, and I didn't know how they hunted.

There were no special logistics personnel, and the gang leader was mercilessly left behind in the rear by them.

Of course, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on Ruan Bai alone to take care of the food of more than 200 people. At this time, the advantages of large numbers of people and great strength are revealed.

Peel, clean, cut into pieces, set up a cauldron, and light the firewood. A pot of chicken broth, a pot of stir-fried rabbit meat. The chicken soup is used to soak the dry cakes that are the specialties of the head soldiers, and the rabbit meat can only be divided into a very small piece.

Soon, there was a faint sound of eating in the whole station.

Everyone knows that eating without sound is one of the behavioral criteria for people who are particular about it. However, there are very few people who can really do this, including several Jingguan, and only Chu Hao is here.

Chu Hao was definitely not so boring, and trained his soldiers as a daughter. The reason for this situation is still in the grassland. During the Great War on the Grassland, of course, the main force was the Cao family's army, and these people led by Chu Hao were all scouts, and occasionally encountered a small group of Huns, so they went up directly to destroy them.

As a scout, the first point is to be hidden. Don't be aware of the enemy yourself, but be discovered by the enemy first. Is it to eat "boldly", or to take care of your life? Choose one or the other, of course. There is no need for Chu Hao to emphasize, this is a habit developed by all those who have experienced that time.

It's just that this habit looks a little scary in the eyes of others.

In the dim light, two hundred people squatted and ate quietly......

At least Tang Yan and they couldn't swallow it a little. The old post man was even more white, and he didn't dare to say a word with the two post guards.

A day away, in the Shunyang Station, the six post guards couldn't sleep at night, and they didn't speak, so they found a table to sit around.

Tang Xinhou yawned.

Zhang Dahu seemed to wake up: "It's so late, vigil, everyone else should go to sleep." Tomorrow will be the same, get up in the morning and run and box. ”

"Yes." The remaining five responded in unison.

Ruan Bai explained before leaving, and asked Zhang Dahu to temporarily replace Yicheng, and Xu Liu assisted. And Tang Xinhou, who has always had the best grades, is still the same, being a Bi Ma Wen.

Tang Xinhou didn't feel that he was wearing small shoes, but the two post guards hugged him later, and after returning to the dormitory, he went around the stable.

Tang Xinhou has a dormitory, but prefers to live in the stables. Of course, even the stables are carefully tinkered with by Ruan Bai, and there are independent single rooms, everything.

Two post guards came in, one closed the door, and the other said: "Brother Tang, why did the adults let Brother Big Tiger be the post man?" ”

Another person said: "That's it, Brother Mingming, Brother Tang, you are the first in every evaluation." ”

Tang Xin looked at the two of them with a smile, and his tattooed face became more distorted and hideous because of the slight change in his expression: "You Brother Tang have to serve so many ancestors alone, it's tired enough." Why do you still want to give Brother Tang some work? ”

"Brother Tang, that's not what we mean!"

"It's ......"

"Alright, alright." Tang Xinhou waved his hand, "My lord just went to the capital once, and he will be back in a month or two." ”

"But we don't look like adults like they are walking for a month or two, it's like moving!"

Tang Xin's thick mouth grinned even more: "Oh? You also went to see the adults move? ”

The two shouted again and again: "How dare we?!" ”

Tang Xinhou sent the two post guards away in a few words, and smacked his lips: "Tsk." ”
