Shen Xi said: "Deputy Song Qianhu doesn't want to believe it, there is no way, but to rest in this kind of wilderness, it is really better to rush to Datong Mansion City in one go, and then there is hot water to take a good bath, and then eat hot soup and hot rice, it is better than shivering in the wilderness." ”

"Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, if the Tatars really come, even if it is only a few dozen Tatar cavalry, in our current state, we will not be able to defeat it, and then we will really be a lonely ghost in this wilderness."

Song Shu is just a martial artist, even if he is a little sophisticated and treacherous, but his ideas are relatively simple, and when Shen Xi said this, he couldn't help but shudder.

Song Shu said: "Is Lord Shen alarmist? ”

"Is it alarmist, you will know when you arrive in Datong Mansion, I wonder if Deputy Song Qianhu has the courage to try?" Shen Xi's face was grim, and Song Shu finally gritted his teeth and decided to move on.

It is not impossible to detain Shen Xi, but he is afraid that what Shen Xi said is true, after passing Gao Shanwei, he found that the area around this official road is too desolate, and all the villages along the way are empty.

If you really accidentally encounter the Tatars, even if you only run into a small group, it will be very troublesome.

This time, it was a weapon, and it was a Franc cannon cast by the order of Qin.

Song Shu didn't plan to fight with those barbaric Tatars, what he thought was that if the Tatars really killed, I would definitely flee with them. But if they only fled for their lives and lost the artillery they were escorted, the imperial court might escort them back to Jingshi Zhengfa, even if Zhang Heling helped to speak, it was useless, because this Franc machine gun was very important, if the Tatars took it and successfully copied it, it would be tantamount to a disaster for the Ming army defending the city.

Song Shu went to ask Shen Xi for advice, and as soon as he turned back, he was surrounded by the brothers below: "How is it, does Lord Shen agree to stay overnight?" ”

"Disagree!"

Song Shuban replied with a raised face.

"**** mother, don't take Lao Tzu's life seriously, he is lying comfortably in the carriage, but we have to endure the torment of wind, frost, rain and snow outside! Tie him up! ”

The veteran oilman is generally short-tempered...... Lao Tzu is about to freeze to death, don't care if you're on a bad day?

Song Shu raised his hand and said, "Lord Shen said that the Tatars invaded the territory, and this last section of the journey is the most dangerous, and if we rush during the day, we will probably encounter the Tatar cavalry." ”

"It can't be that coincidental, right? It must be to scare people, who was Lao Tzu afraid of in Beijing? ”

The officers and soldiers were not convinced, but their momentum was always weak, saying that they were not afraid of the Tatars, but it was two things to say that they could really muster up the courage to go up and fight hard, and the soldiers in the Beijing camp were generally treated better, and in their eyes, the border army was a group of rabbit cubs raised by their stepmothers, and they should let the border army go to work hard. The people of the Beijing camp only need to stay in the rear and share the merits of the war.

"Keep going."

Song Shu's face was full of chagrin, he had always thought that he had crushed Shen Xi, a hairy boy, but in the past two days, he suddenly felt that he had nowhere to use in front of Shen Xi.

Obviously, Shen Xi can be taken down with an order, but he doesn't have the courage and courage.

Song Shu let him hurry again this time, and the officers and soldiers below were not so resistant...... I also heard that the cavalry of the Tatars may be encountered, driven by the mentality of fear of death, with the attitude of rather believing it or not, anyway, it will be possible to reach Datong Mansion after a few hours, if you die under the head of Datong Mansion, it is really too wrong.

Marching at night, Shen Xi didn't feel anything, at this time there was not only him in his carriage, but also Yun Liu, who was watching with him.

In this kind of confined space with black lights and blind fire, as long as he stretches out his hand, he can have nephrite warm fragrance in his arms, and he will never resist with Yunliu's temperament, but unfortunately he doesn't plan to be an irresponsible man, it's easy to be happy, but how to bear the responsibility?

Yun Liu is a person from Yu Niang, he works for the imperial court, he can't go with him, he is now a family man, and it is impossible to marry a woman of unknown origin. If he is not responsible, he will not be able to pass this level in his heart.

Shen Xi is a little tired, but he already has two wives and concubines at home, and he knows the taste of eating marrow, and he still has physiological needs.

"How do you know that the Tatars are likely to come out and plunder?"

Feeling that the atmosphere was awkward, Yun Liu broke the silence and asked.

Shen Xi replied with a smile: "I don't know, I just said it casually to scare Deputy Song Qianhu." ”

Yun Liu couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, although this was a very serious question, but when Shen Xi said this, it seemed like a joke that was really not worth mentioning.

There was a slight aroma in the carriage, which came from Yun Liu...... In the end, she is a girl who loves cleanliness, these days in a hurry, the official post does not prepare hot water, so naturally there is no chance to bathe, she can only wipe some incense powder to offset the smell on her body. But after all, this fragrance made Shen Xi feel extremely charming.

It's cold and snowy outside, but it's warm like spring in the carriage, and there is a stunning woman who wants to be unmoved, and she is deceiving herself.

"Miss Yunliu, is Yun your real surname?" Shen Xi asked without words.

Yun Liu's tone was sad: "The little girl has been sold to the Teaching Department since she was a child, and she doesn't know her surname, Yun Liu's name...... It was given by Yu Niang. ”

"Oh. It's a ...... that was sold to the Faculty Division."

The official prostitutes of the Department of Education should theoretically be convicted of official women, but it is obvious that it is difficult to meet the huge demand of the Department of Education by the number of official families every year, and a larger part can only buy some girls from small households from the people.

Yunliu is lucky, there is a jade girl to plan for her and do things for the court, but the destination of women in this era is to marry and have children after all, and at present, Yunliu has almost no such possibility.

In Shen Xi's mind, when Yun Liu is older, Yu Niang may train her to be the next self, and then Yun Liu will inherit the mantle of Yu Niang, and at the same time as he has to collect intelligence for the imperial court.

Shen Xi thought about things, and was a little distracted, and suddenly heard Yun Liu calling him: "Lord Shen? ”

"Huh?" Shen Xi reacted and asked, "Something?" ”

"No, if Lord Shen feels that the carriage is crowded, the little woman can go down to the carriage behind......" Yun Liu's tone was a little sad.

Shen Xi smiled: "It's okay, there are few such night roads, you may not be used to it as a daughter." Bear with me, just wait until tomorrow when you arrive in Datong City, when you can not only take a hot bath, but also eat and drink, and the most important thing is that you can sleep beautifully......"

Even Shen Xi himself began to imagine the comfortable days of the high bed and soft pillows, the bumps of this journey, how could it not be a kind of torment for his body and bones?

Then Shen Xi and Yun Liu fell silent again, although Lang may not be affectionate, but the concubine is intentional, something should happen on this occasion, Yun Liu is very much looking forward to Shen Xi taking that step, but unfortunately she has never been able to wait.

It wasn't until dawn that a glimmer of light came through the curtain of the carriage, and Shen Xi moved his body, Yun Liu thought that Shen Xi had fallen asleep, but only then did she know that Shen Xi had not slept all night.

It was a difficult night for Yunliu, and she even felt that she would never forget it for the rest of her life.

Even though they were just sitting across from each other, nothing happened for the night.

……

……

After a day and a night of hurrying, the group had no strength, but the road was not over yet, and there were still twenty or thirty miles left.

This night, I only walked more than 70 miles.

I walked one hundred and forty miles a day and one night, and I didn't care about walking for another hour or two.

Fortunately, the official roads around Datong Mansion were quite flat, and the officers and soldiers continued to hurry while scolding Shen Xi, but they were secretly glad that the carriages were quite solid, and none of the carriages fell apart due to bumps, otherwise it would be difficult to reload the artillery in the rain and snow at night.

"My lord, there are still twenty miles ahead, why don't you come down and take a walk?" There is also the guy who doesn't open his eyes and wants Shen Xi to go down to "move his muscles and bones", and is ready to occupy Shen Xi's carriage to rest.

Shen Xi said coldly: "The rain and snow have just stopped, and the official is not in good health, so he doesn't want to get sick." ”

The officers and soldiers around were angry when they heard this, this kid was too shameless, he was simply a demon king of the world, how could he be ashamed to say "I don't want to get sick"? Feelings: Your body is expensive, you can't get sick, we're just a bunch of cheap people who die and no one cares, right?

The soldier was furious, but he still had to keep on his way.

After walking for two hours, I finally saw the high city walls of Datongfu City, the sun had not yet come out at this time, the weather was gloomy, the rain and snow had fallen all night, although it stopped in the early morning, the road was a little frozen, it seemed extremely slippery, and the energy was not good after staying up all night, at this moment I saw that the spirit of success was about to relax, many officers and soldiers fell to the ground, and they helped each other all the way to the head of the city, and the officers and soldiers almost had a feeling of reincarnation.

"After the moat and the urn city, we will be able to enter the city, what a fucking hard work, I already knew it...... I walked a few more miles in the past few days, why can't I walk on my legs now? ”

A hundred households complained to Song Shu, the deputy thousand households next to him, and Song Shu had already scolded the eighteenth generation of Shen Xi's ancestors in his heart at this time...... It's really unlucky, there is such an eventful difference, and when he goes back, he will definitely sue him in front of Shou Ninghou, so that he can't eat and go around!

Datong Mansion City as the main city of Datong Town, the defense can be regarded as impregnable, this city was the capital of the middle of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Liao, Jin and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty are Xijing, the city is large-scale, there are pieces of palace groups, but the end of the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed in the war, the founding general Xu Da presided over the reconstruction in the fifth year of Hongwu.

Datong is square, thirteen miles around, four zhang and two feet high, wrapping bricks, setting up four gates, all have urn city, suspension bridge, moat. The four gates are called Heyang in the east, Yongtai in the south, Qingyuan in the west, and Wuding in the north. The four gates are built city towers, there are corner towers at the four corners, and there is an archway in the middle of the city. The overall layout is like "phoenix single wings".

After crossing the suspension bridge, passing the arch again, entering the urn city, and walking for a while before finally entering the city, the chief soldier in the city Yamen sent people to greet him.

Because they knew earlier that the imperial court was going to send artillery, the people of the Datong General Military Office waited for a few days, and finally looked forward to the artillery.

"It's good to have come in time."

Coming out to greet a guerrilla general, surnamed Yu, his face was full of excitement when he saw the artillery entering the city, and the people of Datong Mansion had already learned about Nanhaizi's artillery exercise, and knew that this Franc machine gun was not small, and it was tantamount to a big killer for the defenders.

Song Shu said: "General Yu, there is no war in the winter, a few days earlier and a few days later, what is the timely or not?" ”

The guerrilla general surnamed Yu said: "It was a normal year, this year is not peaceful, the Tatars have not been idle even in winter, a few days ago their rangers appeared under the city of Datong Prefecture, it is estimated that they are the spies of the Tatars, or maybe their army will come." The chief soldier said that he was afraid that you would rob those Tatars on the road, and now you can enter the city safely, and you went to the temple to burn high incense before you traveled, right? ”

One sentence frightened Song Shu.

"Cut, it's just a few ranger spies, and the Tatars haven't really come to attack the city, who are you scaring about?" As soon as the guerrilla general left, Song Shu said to the surrounding hundreds of households with a little disdain on his face, attracting a chorus of echoes.

After entering the city, you can go to the official post to rest, and there is also the protection of the border army, all the soldiers can finally relax completely, have not slept for a day and a night, change into dry clothes, drink some hot mutton soup, and then eat some steamed buns or steamed bread cakes, and wait for the body to warm up and sleep beautifully.

But before noon, I heard the sound of gongs and drums outside, and Song Shu almost scolded his mother to put on boots and walk out of the official post, just as the heralds of Datong Mansion were warning the four cities: "The Tatars are coming!" ”

Song Shu almost didn't sit on the ground, as soon as he entered the city with his front foot, the Tatars followed and killed, and it was too coincidental, right?

Thinking about it, he really tied up Shen Xi last night and forcibly camped in the field for the night, and now he came and happened to bump into the Tatars, and it is estimated that he will not even be able to cry by then.

Thinking of this, Song Shu shuddered.
