Chapter 44: Preparing to Leave

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye, and in these two days, Long Jun has moved the men and horses of the Long family army to the previous cottage, leaving only the two hundred people led by Lin Yu in Tongjiabao to be handed over to Commander Tong Yuan. As for the previously ordered armor, except for Yuxian County, it will take a few days for the rest of the places to be delivered due to the road.

At this time, it has been seven days since the relocation of soldiers and horses, and in the past few days, the armor of Guangling and other places has also arrived. Long Jun summoned Zhao Yun and Xu Chu and ordered them to immediately check whether the weapons and equipment of each team were missing, and Ma Chao was sent by Long Jun to pick up people in the Jade Void Temple!

In the evening, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu in Long Jun's house were reporting to Long Jun about weapons and military funds! "Six hundred hard bows, three thousand pots of arrows, each pot holds twenty arrows, five hundred halberds, five hundred long knives, and only seven hundred armor for the time being!"

After Zhao Yun finished reporting, Long Jun pondered for a while, felt that the weapons and armor were not enough at all, and asked again, "Okay, what about the military resources such as grain and grass, military tents, and carriages and horses?" ”

Xu Chu on the other side replied, "800 stones of grain and grass, 300 military tents, and 20,000 yuan of silver!" There are 30 cars and horses, and the transport personnel are all escorted by ourselves, so as not to be known by outsiders! ”

"All the armaments, grain, grass and other materials add up, it's not enough for us to go to Qingzhou, can Guangling help us mobilize some of them!"

Zhao Yun knew that the ones in front of him were not enough for the Long family's army, and in terms of weapons, each person could not get together a handful of equipment, let alone military supplies such as armor and grain and grass.

"Uncle Shi, Meng Qi over there in Guangling has done his best, if we collect these things in Guangling again, not to mention that the county guard is not easy to explain, the Chen family will not be able to hide it."

Of course, Long Jun knew about this, but the matter of military horses was not sloppy, and the army of about 2,100 people, excluding the necessary weapons and equipment for the stay, the remaining 1,800 people, with only this little material, might not even be able to go out of Xuzhou.

After pondering for a while, Long Jun remembered the merchant ship they had brought back from Danyang before, if they took the sea route, they might be able to easily reach Qingzhou, so that they could avoid the eyes of others on the way, and also save expenses on the road, and after thinking about it, he whispered to Xu Chu, "Zhongkang, you go and meet the merchants who rented our ships before, ask them if they sell ships, let's buy three big ships!" ”

Xu Chu nodded to show that he understood, and Zhengse said, "I know the lord, I'll go now!" ”

Looking at the back of Xu Chu leaving, Long Jun turned his head again and said to Zhao Yun, "Zilong, you will set off overnight and enter Guangling early tomorrow morning, I will write a letter to you and hand it to Yin Zhao, and ask him to arrive in the county on the first day of the fourth month!" ”

"No!"

After explaining everything, Long Jun went back to the castle to meet Yu Zhenzi before leaving. After all, Yu Zhenzi hasn't seen him for several years, and there are some things he still needs to ask.

As soon as he arrived at the main mansion of Tongjiabao, he heard Ma Chao's unique voice outside the house, Long Jun knew that this should be Yu Zhenzi, so he left his mother who had just met, and immediately ran outside the house to greet him.

"Long Jun is here to welcome the Dao Captain!"

After seeing Long Jun coming, Yu Zhenzi also left Tong Yuan, who came first, and said with a smile, "Jun Gongzi hasn't seen him for many years, and the old Taoist looks at Gongzi's expression is still the same!" ”

I heard that Yu Zhenzi teased him like this, just to joke that when he sent himself to Jizhou, he asked some questions that made it difficult for him, and teased himself!

In this regard, Long Jun could only deeply rehearse that Yu Zhenzi had to worry about his own little child, but he saved his life before Yu Zhenzi, and he still stood in front of Yu Zhenzi, and said in a deep voice: "The Taoist saved my life back then, and escorted my two brothers to the senior brother to practice martial arts. The day before yesterday, I heard that the Taoist temple of the world brother was deeply affected because of offending the local family, and the kid could not serve the world brother justice for the time being, so he could only take you here, and I hope you will forgive me! ”

Yu Zhenzi knew Long Jun's temperament, waved his hand with a smile and said, "It's okay, the things back then were just a handy effort, you don't have to worry about it!" As for letting me go wherever I go, it's the same, I practice the poor path in my heart! ”

"The Tao is profound! My mother occasionally felt a cold wind a few days ago, and at this time she was resting in the house, and it was inconvenient to come to greet the Taoist, so please forgive the Taoist! ”

"How dare you bother your wife to greet you, since your wife is sick, she is mainly recuperating!"

After the politeness, Long Jun led everyone back to the house, and as soon as he arrived in the front hall, he saw the Dragon Mother leading Long Yang to wait on the side, and it was polite for several people to see each other!

Long Jun really didn't want to disturb Yaxing, who was gathered together, but he had already decided to leave in three days, so he could only interrupt everyone's conversation, looked at everyone's faces, and said in a deep voice, "Mother, brother, brother!" Now that you're safe, I'm relieved! As he spoke, Long Jun suddenly knelt down in front of the Dragon Mother, and said in a hoarse voice, "Mother, the child is not filial, I just went home to reunite with my mother for less than half a year, and I am going to leave you again!" But at this time, when my Long clan turned over, the child could only leave his mother temporarily, hoping that his mother would see him! ”

Long Cheng looked at the eldest son who knelt down in front of him, listened to what he said, with tears in his eyes, stretched out his hand to help Long Jun, stroked the eldest son who made him proud, and said softly, "It's okay, as long as you are safe, you can rest assured as a mother!" Do you want to write from time to time? I have also heard that bandits are rampant in the land of Qingzhou, you must pay attention to safety, and don't let yourself be injured when marching and fighting! Although you are now the head of my Long family and bear those responsibilities, you must not forget that you still have your mother, brother, and brother waiting for you at home!! The more the Dragon Mother spoke, the more tears she had, until finally she had already turned her head and covered her mouth, so as not to let her cry affect Long Jun!

The people present were also infected, even Yu Zhenzi, who had become a monk, had red eyes, and Long Jun, a cold-blooded killer in his previous life, was destined to be a male overlord in this life, and he could only bow his head at this moment and not let tears flow out of his eyes!

Ma Chao was even more deeply infected, with tears in his eyes, his mother died in his early years, and he was not loved by his father, but during this time in the Long family, Cheng's care for him was prepared, and all the food and clothing were no different from Long Jun and Long Yang! It can be said that Long Cheng is his second mother, thinking of this, he immediately said in a deep voice, "Madam, don't worry, we will definitely protect the master and will not let him die!" During this time, Mrs. will never forget the love and grace of my wife! ”

Long listened to Ma Chao's story, and her heart was even more reluctant, but she knew that she couldn't delay these children, so she said hoarsely, "The three of you are also good children, you must pay attention to yourself outside, you know?" ”

"Yes! Please rest assured, Madame."

Long Jun raised his head, looked at his mother's face, nodded to Tong Yuanyu Zhenzi and the others, and said softly, "Mother, senior brother, Daoist, then I will copycat first!" ”

Originally, Long Jun still wanted to stay in Tongjiabao for dinner, but unfortunately, after some conversation just now, he was afraid that he would regret it after staying, and when the time came, it would affect the plan, and the gains would outweigh the losses, so he hurriedly took Ma Chao back to the cottage.

Before the two of them walked to the cottage, the two found that there were figures swaying around the cottage, and after looking at each other, they glanced at Ma Chao, and saw Ma Chao rushing towards one of them on a horse.

Before Ma Chao could make a move, he heard the man hurriedly shouting, "Childe, it's me, don't do it, I'm Zhao Laibao, Zhao Laibao!" ”

Zhao Laibao? Of course he knew who this person was, and Long Jun had already told him what had happened before. Holding a long sword in his right hand, he pointed it at Zhao Laibao's throat and asked sharply, "Treacherous and shameless thief, dare to come back?" Say, "What is the matter here?" ”

Ma Chao was the first time he had seen it, but since he was walking into this village, it must be Long Jun's person, thinking of this, he hurriedly explained with embarrassment, "Childe spare his life, Childe spare his life!" We're here to find the castle owner with news! ”

As soon as he heard that he had news to offer, Ma Chao didn't dare to make decisions at will, pointed to another person and asked, "Who is this person?" ”

"He... He's the one who came to talk about cooperation! ”

"Cooperation? What to work with? ”

"It's... This one... Forgive the villain for not knowing! ”

The other person didn't have a worried look on his face, he waited for a smile, and said with a slight smile, "Jiang Gongzi, I don't think you can make the decision in this matter, right?" ”
