Chapter 290: On the Road
(Thank you Xiao Qiao for rewarding He's Bi, thank you for your support)
Fengjing to Baizhou thousands of miles away, out of Jingding all the way to the southeast, through Yongchang and Yezhou, and then through the north of Linzhao, in order to enter the territory of Baizhou.
The first two expeditions, after the brigade left Beijing, they took the official road from Xionghuai to Xingcheng, Xingcheng is an important town in Yongchang, located in the easternmost part, and when they got there, it also meant that they had almost walked half the way to Baizhou.
However, this time, Ji Nantang directly ordered to take Lisong Cliff to the mountain jujube slope, this road is pinched from the beginning to the end, and there is a mountain road that winds for more than 100 miles in the middle, and normally speaking, it will take a day and a half to reach Yezhou than to take the official road.
He ordered thousands of men and horses to gallop at full speed, and in this way, the gap was revealed.
Most of this trip is Ji Nantang's personal guards, or they are also the descendants of Ji Jiajun, whether they are riding horses or walking, the speed of travel is very fast.
And this speed is not desperately crazy, the soldiers have been maintaining a uniform speed before going up the mountain road, what is the speed in the morning, and it is about the same speed when it is dark to set up camp, from the generals to the officers and soldiers are full of ease.
Wen Sheng had a feeling that since this team left Beijing, they let go of their hands and feet, like a dragon entering the sea, and their spirit and spirit were very different.
The musicians who were with the team were tired enough, and many of them had never ridden such a fast horse for such a long time, and their faces were like earth when they rested, and they even needed someone to help them get off the horse.
There was a mountain road ahead, and Ji Nantang sent the scouts out, and the rest of the people buried the pot to cook.
The musicians camped alone, and Jing Jie was ordered to bring five hundred soldiers over to help plus keep vigil. The dozens of people that Lu handed over to Wen Sheng were among them.
Yunlu was not at ease, so he also followed.
Fifty musicians didn't bring attendants, not to mention how uncomfortable high-ranking children like Hua Feizhou and An Minxue were. But take a look at Wen Sheng, a girl's family is not doing well, so she has to put all kinds of discomfort aside.
Jing Jie had long expected the situation that would occur on the musician's side, and if he threw away the aura of the musician, he was just a bunch of recruits who had never suffered hardship.
He brought the doctor in the army, prepared gold sore medicine, and planned to treat the blood blisters on his legs for everyone one by one. Unexpectedly, he was snatched by Ge Bin, Murong Changxing and others.
Zhong Tianzheng thought thoughtfully, and Ge Bin respected Xinle very much, and ran errands to take care of everyone. Opening and closing the mouth are all how Senior Brother Zhong is.
Wen Sheng and Zhong Tianzheng accompanied Jing Jie.
"I see that Brother Jing and General Ji's men and horses are very familiar with this mountain road, and they have walked many times before."
Compared with Hua Feizhou and others, Zhong Tianzheng has no musician's shelf, knowing that Jing Jie is just a scout captain under Ji Nantang. Not even a grade. and still call him brothers.
However, Jing Jie didn't feel flattered because he knew Wen Sheng, who had no shelf, and said honestly: "The first time I followed the general on this mountain road was nine years ago, when there was a group of bandits with nearly 1,000 people nearby, and the bandits' nest was located in Shenhualing, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was a good place to ambush. At that time, the Dongyi people had already gone ashore at the junction of Zhangzhou and Baizhou, and the general hurried to go. With the guide, he bulldozed the bandits directly. since. As long as the military situation is urgent, we will go from here. ”
Wen Sheng looked in the direction of the tent from afar, Ji Nantang has been coming and going in the wind and rain all these years, and he has worked tirelessly for the coastal defense of the East China Sea, can he feel tired?
Zhong Tianzheng didn't seem to hear Jing Jie's words clearly, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Shen Hualing?" The morning or the hour? ”
Jing Jie disagreed: "It's the sun sinking in the west, and the people who passed by about the first time saw the sun set on the mountain, so they gave it such a name." ”
Zhong Tianzheng nodded thoughtfully.
Jing Jie led people around the camp, staring at his soldiers helping the musicians to erect their tents.
Wen Sheng lived alone, the tent was in the middle, Jing Jie waved his hand, and left about 20 people outside her tent to keep vigil, and the Lu family accounted for half of them.
Everything was arranged, Jing Jie saw that there was nothing missing, and then he left to return to Ji Nantang.
After dinner, Wen Sheng told that there was no need to leave so many people outside the tent, she should patrol and patrol, she should rest and rest, and she was not a weak person who was powerless, so she didn't need to be so nervous.
Besides, the cloud heron is still nearby.
Spend the night in the wilderness, the stars in the sky are few, and the insects on the ground are gradually ringing.
After a day's journey, everyone was tired and went to bed early, and soon the whole camp was quiet, except for the occasional shout or two in the distance and the rustling footsteps of the patrol team.
Wen Sheng's tent is still lit by a lamp, and in terms of body, she is actually stronger than many musicians in her peers, so she is not like Lu Xuan, Wen Hongxue and others who are so tired that they can't get up.
It was not good to practice at night, so she brought out a few books, and was reading and pondering under the lamp, but she listened to a whispered conversation outside the tent.
Listening to the voice, it was like Zhong Tianzheng, Wen Sheng went over and opened the curtain.
The guards outside saluted when they saw her and moved out of the way.
"Just know you haven't slept yet." Zhong Tianzheng smiled, bent down into the tent, and looked at it by the light first, the conditions on the road were simple, everyone was similar, and there was nothing special about Wensheng here.
"Something?" Wen Sheng looked at him suspiciously.
"It's still early, I can't sleep, I'm coming to see you." He placed a small round jade box under the lamp, "You have also ridden a horse for a day, if you are not comfortable, deal with it early, so as not to suffer next." ”
It seems that it is an ointment to cure scratches and scratches the skin.
Wen Sheng's riding skills are good, her thighs are not worn out, so she can't use it, but the injury on her arm hasn't healed yet, Zhong Tianzheng didn't say a word, didn't he think that this matter was over?
Wen Sheng said "um", sat back in his place, picked up the book again, looked through it carefully, and hung Zhong Tianzheng there.
"I see that those few soldiers outside are not ordinary soldiers, but they look like people from the rivers and lakes, you found them?" Zhong Tianzheng also sat down and put on a posture of wanting to have a long talk.
Wen Sheng knew that Zhong Tianzheng would find out sooner or later, and he didn't plan to hide it from him, so he was silent at the moment: "That's someone from Cheng Guogong's mansion, come with us to Baizhou to see if there is a chance to rescue the grandfather." ”
Zhong Tianzheng sneered: "Save Li Chengyun? What do I say about you, you don't have that diamond diamond, and you prefer to work on porcelain. ”
Wen Sheng glanced at him, turned the book in his hand over a page, turned sideways and pointed his back at him, and said unhurriedly: "I don't have it, you have it." When you make a bet, it's not you who say it, if you lose, you will listen to me for everything when you get to Hakushu, and I say to the east, you are not allowed to go west. ”
Zhong Tianzheng choked up, paused for a long time, and then laughed angrily: "Okay, I listen to you, I see how you can rescue people." (To be continued......)
