After twilight, the convoy of escorts finally caught up with the large force and arrived at the post station before dark.

The soldiers jumped out of their cars and drove their horses into the courtyard of the inn.

A man with a dark face who looked like a leader said to a short man, "I can rest in the post house today, you can have a good rest." But tomorrow will not be so comfortable, most of them will have to spend the night in the wilderness. ”

The shorter nodded.

The dark-faced man said, "You are still watching the carriages and horses in the courtyard." ”

The short man said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Captain Chen." ”

The soldier surnamed Chen said: "You're welcome, you are Lao Qian's friend, and his business is my business." ”

The soldiers who had arrived in the convoy had already set up camp in the surrounding area.

These soldiers followed His Royal Highness King Chen to the north, and the number was about three hundred.

Last year's severe drought was met in the north, and it was only with the help of the south that the crisis was finally overcome. Now that it was summer, the emperor could not rest assured, and ordered King Chen to go and see the growth of this year's spring ploughing.

The emperor's love for his people has attracted praise from all over the world.

This is the fourth night out of the capital.

The short soldier laid a bunk next to the cart and lay down hastily.

The man didn't feel sleepy for a while, and his eyes were wide open.

The moonlight shone on this man's face, and this man's face was a little worried.

Remembering that in order to find out the reason, he disguised himself as a man, mingled in the middle of this group of big men, and slept in the open, so hard, this person couldn't help but sigh.

This short soldier dressed as a woman is none other than Gu Pan.

She is now following the convoy of escorts.

This convoy was loaded with gifts from the emperor to King Shen, a whole five carts. She was on the road in a carriage during the day. The task at night is to watch these big cars watch the night, just in time to avoid camping with the men.

This dark-faced leader, Captain Chen, is a friend of Lao Qian, and Lao Qian is the connector left by Guan Xingji.

Gu Pan's current identity is Lao Qian's distant niece. In Chen's eyes, she is a daughter who is anxious to return to her hometown to visit her seriously ill father. Because he was alone, he couldn't run so far, and he happened to hear that the captain's team was going to the north, so Lao Qian asked him to pick her up with him.

Captain Chen has been a soldier for some years, and he is also a small official, and he also has some power in his hands. It just so happened that one of his team members was seriously ill. I can't go with the party. It is true that one more person has to come in. Of course, he wouldn't know that the person who was suffering from a sudden illness was also arranged by Lao Qian. Changing someone in is not a big deal for Captain Chen. But. If it's a man. That's it. Now it's such a girl, throw her in the pile of men, if something happens. How to explain?

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to her, someone will protect her." Lao Qian was confident at that time, and he was playing a package ticket.

Lao Qian's words have always been reassuring, but Captain Chen still hesitated: "The number of people is recorded, and it is okay to change people, but when I get to the place, she runs away, and there is one less person, how can I explain?" ”

"Don't worry! When you get to the place, even if there are fewer people, you won't be blamed for the safekeeping. "Old money is sure.

Old Qian's ability, Captain Chen knows, if he says yes, he must be able. Moreover, the amount he owes to the old man is too great, so although it is a little difficult to do, he still agrees.

The convoy they escorted, because it was loaded with supplies, walked a little slower than the large army, so it set off early every day. But at noon, you will be caught up by the people behind. Immediately after that, it was to chase after the butts of the large army, so it was very hard.

But Gu Pan endured it, because there were some things that she had to figure out.

She squinted and dozed off, when suddenly the fire in the courtyard was bright and noisy. Someone rushed down from the inn and shouted, "Where is the military doctor?" Come on quickly! Something happened! ”

Gu Pan's eyes immediately widened and he sat up.

Ordinary soldiers all slept in the barracks outside, and they could rest in the guest rooms of the post house, and they all had some ranks, but what happened to Fang Xiao? She stood up and almost rushed forward.

Fortunately, at this time, the man said sharply again: "By the order of the prince!" Thoroughly inspect the entire inn! ”

He can still give an order, that is, it will be fine, Gu Pan's heart was relieved, and he walked and sat down again

Suddenly the courtyard was in chaos, and the footsteps were hurried and the shouting was endless.

All the people in the inn were kicked out and began to be questioned one by one.

This night was extremely unpeaceful, and the screams, weeping, and scolding did not stop.

When it was almost dawn, it was finally quiet.

And the people dispersed.

At this time, a person was carried down from the upper floor of the post house, covered in blood. Someone whispered, "What's wrong with this man?" ”

"Suicide in fear of sin!" A man with a very thick voice said angrily: "This god killed him, and put poison in the prince's tea!" ”

The man from before exclaimed, "Is the prince okay?" ”

Gu Pan was suddenly a little worried, he hadn't seen Fang Xiao appear all night, and he hadn't heard his voice, so he replied in a rough voice: "The prince is fine, I didn't drink." ”

The man from before breathed a sigh of relief: "Thankfully! ”

gritted his teeth in a rough voice: "But Brother Wang and Brother Lin were killed!" ”

The man exclaimed, "Why did this man poison him?" ”

The rough voice hated and hated: "I don't know, I committed suicide before the trial came out!" ”

Upstairs someone was carried down again, covered with a white cloth, about the same two people who were killed.

Gu Pan frowned, it seemed that there would be no peace on this road.

After a night of tossing, she didn't sleep long before she was called to get up. After the preparation was completed, gathered at the door, Lao Chen came over and ordered: "Everyone has seen yesterday's incident, along the way, I am afraid that it will not be peaceful, everyone is vigilant, and pay attention to everything you eat." ”

As soon as their convoy was about to set off, someone came over and brought an order: "You don't have to go first, follow the big army, follow more closely." ”

It seems that yesterday's incident has aroused Fang Xiao's vigilance, for fear that they will fall behind and encounter danger, so they would rather slow down and go together.

Is it really going to be a storm?

The team began to depart, and the escort team still followed.

Gu Pan saw Fang Xiao, although he only saw a vague back from a distance, it was much better than the glimpse he had a few days ago.

The team walked boringly for another day, and in the evening, as Captain Chen said, they couldn't catch up with the post house in front, and the soldiers had to camp on the spot.

After the tent was set up, Gu Pan lay down by the chariot and horse as usual.

Fang Xiao's tent was far away, and she could only see the faint candle flame there.

For a moment, she was a little apprehensive. I don't know about him, has he stopped? (To be continued.) )
