An Rong couldn't go to Yingcheng in time before, because she thought that she rushed to the military camp and might be able to save those war horses.

Now that the group of war horses has been sentenced to death, even if they can be saved, they can't be used as war horses, what is she still doing at the border pass?

The Chi family is a family of horse breeders in the Great Zhou Dynasty, except for the imperial court, there are the most horses belonging to the Chi family, Xiao Zhan didn't want to buy horses from the Chi family, but it didn't succeed.

Now that the Chi family is close at hand, if she can persuade the Chi family to sell her horses, won't it solve Xiao Zhan's worries?

The carriage traveled for two days, and it was only thirty miles away from Hecheng.

An Rong lifted the curtain and looked at the twilight on the horizon, and the sunset was gorgeous.

The carriage bubbled forward, and when he saw that there was a post station, Zhao Cheng said, "Young grandma, we can't catch up with Hecheng today, we have to stay at the post station for one night, and then enter the city tomorrow." ”

"It's okay," An Rong smiled.

When they arrived at the post station, Zhao Cheng tightened the reins, and the carriage stopped.

The post station was set up by the imperial court, but not just anyone can live in the post station.

No, as soon as the carriage stopped, someone came over to greet him, and by the way, he checked the post house voucher.

Anyone who needs to transport official documents and goods to the post station for cars, horses, and people must have a post station certificate.

There are two types of post certificates.

The government uses it according to the survey.

The military department uses the fire card when it is used.

Anrong is only regarded as the family members of officials, only staying overnight, and there are no other requirements, as long as they have a pass.

However, An Rong did not use the pass of Xiao Guogong's mansion, but a family member of a five-grade petty official.

After reading the pass, the little guy said apologetically. "The inn is full."

Zhao Cheng frowned, glanced at the post station, and said, "This post station can accommodate more than a hundred people, but it is actually full?" ”

The little guy nodded, "It's really full, the little one didn't lie to you." ”

The post station is no different from other places, and the reception is not an official, or the family members of the officials, and none of them can be offended. So the attitude is extraordinarily good.

There is one post station every thirty miles. The farthest distance, only fifty miles, is to transport goods and convey information as much as possible.

But the post station is full, and Zhao Cheng has no problem with the sky as the cover and the earth as the bed. But what about Anrong?

Do you want to take An Rong to the previous post station?

Back and forth. That's an extra sixty miles. Then they hurried to Hezhou before, didn't they suffer in vain?

Zhao Cheng looked at An Rong and said, "Why don't we go to the inn to rest and see if we can find a way to get out of a room." ”

An Rong nodded. If she wants to go back, she is unwilling.

I really can't do it, so I'll sleep in the carriage for the night.

An Rong got out of the carriage and walked towards the post station.

The appearance of the post station is no different from the general inn, but with the addition of the word post station, it has changed from civilian to official.

There is an extra layer of protection in the post station, so you don't have to worry about petty theft and the like.

From a distance, An Rong saw seven or eight people sitting in the post station, drinking and eating.

Look at what they're wearing, they're all the same.

But when she stepped into the inn.

An Rong was dumbfounded.

The entire lobby of the post house was dressed in the same clothes, and all of them were men.

was glanced at by them, An Rong's heart jumped twice, and he was a little scared.

Zhao Cheng was even more so, his eyes were cowardly, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

Zhao Cheng and they pretended, but An Rong was really afraid.

Those people saw that An Rong was a maid who was not good-looking, and Zhao Cheng and a few little guys didn't have any martial arts, so they didn't take it to heart, they should eat and drink.

The little guy smiled, "The downstairs is full, and there are two empty tables upstairs, a few people go upstairs to sit, please here." ”

An Rong followed the little maid upstairs.

Someone downstairs urged, "Serve the food quickly, I'm hungry!" ”

The little guy over there came out with the food, not for him, and said, "Wait a while, there are too many people today, the kitchen can't greet you, please forgive me for the neglect." ”

An Rong stepped upstairs, waited for her to sit down, and then asked, "Downstairs is all from the guest house tonight?" ”

The little guy nodded and said, "It's all of them." ”

Zhao Cheng sat down, poured tea for An Rong, and asked casually, "Where did they all come from?" ”

Xiao Wu shook his head, "I don't know where they came from, but their pass is stamped with the seal of the Yunzhou Mansion." ”

The little guy has been in the post station for a long time, and he also knows some doorways.

Not all the people who live in the post station are the family members of the officials, there are also friends of the officials, and the post stations are cheap and safe, they are only responsible for hospitality, and they just look at the pass to do things, and nothing else matters.

But the two words Yunzhou made An Rong's eyebrows rise.

Yunzhou, that is the territory of King Pray.

An Rong ordered the food, and the little girl smiled, "I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while." ”

An Rong smiled, "No hurry." ”

After the little guy left, An Rong took a sip of tea.

She glanced at Zhao Cheng, although Zhao Cheng was also drinking tea, but he was obviously eavesdropping.

An Rong didn't bother him either.

After a while, Zhao Cheng frowned and said, "Young grandmother, these people are here for the Chi family's horses." ”

An Rong put down the teacup and said, "Is it the person who prays for the king?" ”

Zhao Cheng shook his head, "I didn't say it, but these people want to bring more than two thousand horses back to Yunzhou." ”

I don't say it explicitly, but I can guess it.

These people are not like merchants, and it is impossible for ten Yunzhou mansions to use more than 2,000 horses.

Zhao Chengdao, "I'll grab someone and ask in a while." ”

An Rong nodded his head, "Be careful." ”

After speaking, the little maid brought two small plates of peanuts and melon seeds to pass the time for An Rong and them.

Zhao Cheng gave the little guy two taels of silver, and said, "Please ask the little brother for me, see if they can squeeze it, and get out of a room, a few of us men are not in the way even if they sleep in the yard, and she has a daughter's house, which is inconvenient." ”

The little guy couldn't take his eyes off the silver when he saw it, took the silver and said, "It's okay to ask, but there is no guarantee that there will be a room." ”

Zhao Cheng nodded again and again, "Trouble little brother." ”

The little guy took the benefit, and went downstairs to help Zhao Cheng intercede.

After a while, the little maid came upstairs. Shaking his head, he said, "They didn't let it, saying that it was already very crowded for two people to sleep in one bed, but they would leave in less than three hours, and there would be more empty rooms by then, and you could sleep wherever you want." ”

An Rong nodded and said, "Then we'll sit here and wait." ”

After dinner, An Rong sat there and waited.

The people downstairs finished their meal and rested.

This one sits. It's two and a half hours.

An Rong propped up the table with his hands. Some drowsy.

The eyelids were dull as if they were glued.

An Rong simply slept on the table, so formless that the secret guards couldn't bear to look at it directly.

But they were also distressed, they all knew that An Rong came to Hezhou for Xiao Zhan. I'm not here to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Is there any pampered lady who can endure as much hardship as An Rong?

I have to say. Xiao Lao Guogong's vision is good.

Only young grandmothers are worthy of their masters.

The Dark Guard sat there. Don't squint.

An Rong was awakened by the sound of horses' hooves.

She shook her head and stood up.

Then the doors of the rooms were opened, and the men came out with their knives.

An Rong stood upstairs and took a look.

Outside the inn. It's all horses.

The men threw away a penia, and went out of the inn.

Only then did the little guy come up and say to An Rong, "There is a vacant room, and when I clean up, a few of us can go in and rest." ”

An Rong looked outside and asked the little guy, "Why are there so many horses?" ”

Xiao Wu smiled, "That's the Chi family's horse, in the past two months, there have been several groups of people to transport the horse, and the Chi family's business is getting bigger and bigger." ”

An Rong looked at it a few more times and said with a smile, "On this big night, so many horses are passing by, and those who don't know think that the enemy is coming." ”

The little servant wiped the table and said, "No way, the Chi family's horse farm is in the city, if it is daytime, there are people coming and going on the road, a few horses are okay to say, so many horses, it is easy to hurt passers-by, the Chi family is waiting for the city gate to close, and there are fewer pedestrians on the street before sending the horses out." ”

An Rong smiled and said, "The city gate is closed, and the Chi family can still send horses out of the city, and the Chi family has a great friendship with the government." ”

After the curfew, the gates are not allowed to be opened.

The Chi family and the Hecheng Mansion violated the laws of the Great Zhou.

The little servant chuckled, said no more, and then turned to clean up the house.

Peaceful, I have to sit down for a while.

Soon, Zhao Chengcheng came back and said, "I have found out clearly, it is indeed the horse bought by King Qi." ”

It was the same as guessing, so An Rong was not surprised, she only raised her eyebrows, "Just watching those horses slip away from her eyes?" ”

How could the ducks in front of you let them fly?

"The subordinates deducted one person and let Zhao Li mix in ......."

He is not a good person, and King Qi is not, so Zhao Cheng is very calm about robbing King Qi.

"The subordinates have to fly pigeons to pass the book, so that people can answer Zhao Li."

The little servant cleaned up the house and moved in peacefully.

instructed the little maid to bring hot water, An Rong took a bath, and went to bed to rest.

A good night's sleep.

After dawn, An Rong saw the barracks again.

An Rong is used to it.

Sometimes, An Rong even thinks that she is the general, and she watches the soldiers practice every day, and she is more competent than Xiao Zhan.

After seeing Xiao Zhan and the soldiers, An Rong went to see King Qi.

These are the three things An Rong must do in the morning.

Pray that the king has the heart of rebellion, she has to keep an eye on it.

Barracks, Big Tent.

King Qi was in a very good mood, he leaned on the couch and hummed a small tune in his mouth, which was very pleasant.

If the king is in a good mood, An Rong's mood is not good.

There are so many war horses and soldiers killed in the border pass, and he still laughs, what is there to be happy about?

I saw King Qi playing with a jade bottle in his hand, and his eyes were shining, as if he was looking at some treasure.

But that bottle, if you want to say beautiful, it is indeed beautiful, but in An Rong's eyes, it is very ordinary.

King Qi is not a person who has never seen good things, he can make him love it, this jade bottle must have an extraordinary origin.

It can't be sent by a girl, right?

An Rong guessed, and Du Zhong, who was only listening to the tea pouring on the side, said with a smile, "Lord Wang, you have been looking at this jade bottle for two days." ”

King Qi laughed, "Don't say that it's been two days, even if you watch it for a lifetime, I don't feel bored." ”

Du Zhong nodded and smiled, "It's still the prince's wisdom, he didn't go against Dongyan, just with the means of Emperor Dongyan, ten Xiao Zhan is not his opponent." ”

Saying that, Du Zhong stood up and said, "What is in this bottle, why is it so powerful, it can actually take the lives of so many war horses in just a few days?" The military doctor said that it was horse plague, and there was ...... in this jade bottle. ”

Du Zhong looked a little frightened.

King Qi smiled and said, "What are you afraid of, it's not a plague, this king hasn't heard of horse plague yet, and people will die." ”

If that's the case, that's a good thing.

After speaking, King Qi touched the jade bottle again, and he smiled, "He Xiao Zhan wants to form an iron horse, how many horses he has, this king will let him leave no one!" ”

Du Zhong said worriedly, "Lord Wang, Emperor Dongyan can destroy Xiao Zhan's war horse if he gives him a jade bottle, but what about the prince's horse in the future?" ”

King Qi's face changed, and his eyes were glowing with a cold light. (To be continued......)
