Chapter 260: Borrowing a boat
In Lin Luoyu's eyes, Shen Leng had too many weaknesses, the most obvious being impulsiveness, so after Shi Dongcheng left, she asked in a very serious tone that the next things should be handed over to her to deal with, if Shen Leng became impulsive again, it would really be hopeless.
After Shen Leng was imprisoned for more than 20 days, Zhuang Yong, who was training in the Pingyue Daoshui Division's camp, also saw the people sent by Shi Dongcheng and took Shi Dongcheng's handwritten letter.
The army is up.
It stands to reason that if you want to ask for an order, how can the army move privately.
But Zhuang Yong knew that if he really spent more than a month of time and other wills back and forth, His Majesty would be annoyed, Shen Leng might not be that child, or it could be that this one might make His Majesty murderous.
Hearing that the army was pulled, Shen Leng's chief secretary of the marching army, Dou Huainan, trotted all the way to see Zhuang Yong, and when he arrived at Zhuang Yong's big tent, he didn't see anyone, and he heard that the general went to Yacheng County to draw grain and grass from the treasury, and he couldn't ride a horse, so he had to run all the way to Yacheng again, tired and out of breath.
When he found Zhuang Yong, he found that the blood red in the general's eyes had not yet receded, so he knew that he couldn't persuade him, he felt that Zhuang Yong was such a calm person should understand how angry the sailor would be when he privately touched His Majesty, and when he saw Zhuang Yong's appearance, what he wanted to say was not spoken.
"General, it is not easy for the army to go directly to the country of Yao, it may cause disputes between the two countries, why don't you send a lowly post first?"
"You take Shen Leng's banner soldiers and go ahead immediately, no matter what, you can't let Shen Leng have an accident, the army will arrive two days later than you at the latest."
Zhuang Yong did not hesitate at all, and when he gave the order, he was clean and neat.
"Yes."
Dou Huainan didn't want to persuade anything, so he trotted back all the way, sweating like rain.
Half a day later, the fifteen warships that had sorted out the equipment and grass were assembled first, and in order to strengthen the momentum, Zhuang Yong specially allocated three Wanjun to Dou Huainan, nine Fubo, one collision ship Tiexi, and two cargo ships full of supplies.
At noon fifteen ships left the harbor and sailed southwest.
On the warship, the cold soldiers sank like water one by one, but their eyes were full of killing intent.
At this moment, a wooden cart pulled by a donkey swayed from the official road to the north, the small bell hanging around the donkey's neck made a very crisp sound, and a young man who looked a little lazy leaned on the wooden cart to rest, as if he was not used to the sultry heat of this southern weather, and the collar of his clothes was untied, revealing the bronzed skin inside.
His cuffs were pulled, and his fingers tapped rhythmically on the wooden cart with the sound of bells, and when his fingers moved, the muscles on his forearms moved one by one, like the undulation of the waves.
"I can see that you are also a military master."
The old man who was driving the car handed over a jug of water, and the young man took it and thanked him and asked, "How can you see that?" ”
The old man said with a smile: "Nowadays, young people have a kind of unpleasant yin qi, and they can't wait to dress up more fancy than women when they go out on weekdays, where is there a little bit of what a man should look like, only the men in the army, looking at it makes people feel comfortable, the cold and hard energy on your body, the old man, I can see at a glance that he is from the military." ”
He asked, "Master Jun, where are you in the army?" ”
"Northern Xinjiang."
"Northern Xinjiang?!"
The old man was taken aback: "Thousands of miles away, why did you come to southern Xinjiang." ”
"I made a little contribution in northern Xinjiang, and took advantage of the general's happiness to take the leave that I had accumulated over the past few years, and I made up for two months, and now it seems that these two months are only enough for one trip, and I will have to walk for a few months when I go back."
The young man laughed at this, thinking that he would delay it for a few months, and finally see the silly boy.
"Are you a local?"
He asked.
The old man nodded: "Yes, I have lived here for most of my life." ”
"What do you think of our Daning sailor, old man?"
"Amazing!"
The old man picked a thumbs up: "To be honest, I don't think I'm a serious Ning person, the identity of the Yue people has been for decades, and it will always be a little uncomfortable to suddenly not be a Yue person, but Daning is really good, Your Majesty exempted us from paying taxes on money and grain for three years, and now the sailor has gone south and fought to find the wild dogs all over the ground to find teeth, the old man is happy, and then think about the sailor of the Yue country back then, what is that called?!" ”
The young man laughed, and the fatigue along the way seemed lighter, so he asked again: "The old man, have you heard that there is a young general named Shen Leng in the water division?" ”
"I haven't heard of it."
The old man smiled embarrassedly: "The old man is lonely and unheard." ”
The young man pouted: "It doesn't seem to be very powerful, it's been a few months since I arrived in southern Xinjiang, why haven't I made a well-known reputation." ”
"Master Jun, it's here."
The old man stopped outside Yacheng County, jumped down and pointed to the side of the boat port: "That's the sailor camp." ”
Standing on a high place, I happened to see fifteen warships sailing out of the ship harbor, raising their sails, waving the red battle flag of Daning Lie that seemed to be waving a soldier's horizontal sword, and the fleet headed towards the southwest.
"I'm afraid there will be war again."
The old man couldn't help but sigh as he watched the fleet leave the port: "I don't know how many wild dogs are going to be unlucky." ”
The young man smiled, took out some broken silver and gave it to the old man, the old man said that he didn't want anything, just said that he would bring you over by the way, if you want your silver, it will be a slap in the face of the people of Yacheng County, how can there be such a greedy for money, the young man hugged his fists and bowed, the old man hurriedly returned the salute and drove away.
The young man put his backpack on his back, and looked at the harbor with the black-threaded knife he had wrapped in coarse cloth in his arms, thinking what kind of expression would the stinky boy have on his face if he knew that he was coming.
At this time, a huge black mastiff rushed out of the gate of Yacheng, that guy startled Meng Changan, the snow mastiff in the northern Xinjiang is also surprisingly big, but it is still worse than this black mastiff, even the cold dog of the black warrior is not as good as this guy.
The dog passed, followed by a girl, who swept past him like a gust of wind.
"That!"
Meng Changan shouted and stretched out his hand, the girl was already seven or eight meters away.
He smiled wryly, and was just about to catch up, when he saw the girl walking back with an incredible face: "Meng ......"
Meng Chang'an: "Chang'an." ”
"I know!"
Tea Ye's eyes widened: "You, why did you come here?" ”
"Originally, I was going back to Chang'an to participate in the military competition, and when I was in northern Xinjiang, I thought that it would be two months later, so I simply invited the leave I had saved in the past few years, and went back to see the old dean first, and I also went to the military workshop to see how I let them design and manufacture the equipment, and the time was almost to participate in the big competition in Chang'an City, but when I walked to Chang'an City, the old dean said to me, Your Majesty has postponed the date of the military competition, and I have nothing to do in Chang'an City, so I went south to see Leng Zi...... and you guys. ”
"Lengzi, something happened."
"Huh?!"
Meng Changan raised his eyebrows.
Inside the Tooth City.
Zhuang Yong was personally coordinating the grain and grass in the treasury, and saw a few people hurrying over from outside, it stands to reason that they shouldn't have appeared in front of everyone so blatantly, after all, they are the identities in the secret road.
The guy at the head is black-eyed, and he is followed by the three of them.
"General!"
The black eyes ran to Zhuang Yong in one breath: "Shen Leng has an accident?" ”
"Hmm."
Zhuang Yong nodded: "I am coordinating the grain and grass, and the army will definitely go to the country of Miao within five days, and he was detained by the country of Qiao." ”
"Look for death!"
The black eyes were cold: "Can the general lend us a boat?" ”
"Don't mess up the situation, I will take the sailor to pick up Shen Leng back, you go first, if you can't hold back the impulse, Shen Leng will be more dangerous."
"General, we are naturally inferior to you in the open, but we still go to do a lot of things in the dark, and ask the general to lend us a boat, by the way, we still need enough food and water."
"That's fine."
Zhuang Yong said: "How many people can you bring?" ”
"I brought about 200 people to the south this time, and I can still go to them and bring some more from the Tingwei Mansion, there are still more than 300 people."
"I'll give you two boats, and then transfer two hundred of my own soldiers to you, after you go, protect Shen Leng in the dark as much as possible, I won't be there, don't act rashly, if you can spend some silver to get people out of the palace detention first, don't be stingy."
"I know."
Black-eyed fists: "Thank you, General!" ”
Zhuang Yong sighed slowly: "All the costs, after I arrive, I will come back to the people of the country." ”
The black eye hummed and left in a hurry with the person, just out of the gate of the treasury and almost collided with a man, the black eye was anxious, and subconsciously pushed it to the man's chest, one went out and one entered the door, and when they met, they were already close at hand, and the moment his hand was raised, he was buckled by the other party, followed by an over-the-shoulder fall and threw him out......
The black eye didn't even react, where did he think that he would meet such a hard guy when he went out, that is, he was extraordinary, he forcibly twisted in mid-air, supported there with both hands and one knee, stood up and glared at the man, and then he was stunned.
This man was familiar to him.
Meng Changan threw the black eyes out but didn't look at him again, but turned around to go to the treasury to see Zhuang Yong borrow a boat, but at this time, there were more than a dozen people on horseback from the other side of the horse at a very fast speed, they were wearing Daning's battle armor whistling, these people galloped to the door of the treasury before they stopped suddenly, one by one the war horses stood up, the general led by jumped down from the horse, casually threw the reins to his subordinates and strode into the door, and it happened that he entered at the same time as Meng Changan, and the general reached out and pulled Meng Changan:" Get out of the way! ”
The hand was stretched out, but Meng Changan didn't go out.
The general was Shi Podang, he felt a sudden tightness on his arm, and then he involuntarily flew backwards, this time he almost blew him up, and forcibly twisted and landed in mid-air, the posture was exactly the same as the posture of the black eyes landing before, but his temper was much more irritable than the black eyes, he was in a hurry to see Zhuang Yong was robbed by a wild boy who didn't know where he came from, how could he bear it?
He strode up and shouted to stop, but Meng Chang'an ignored him and had already entered the gate of the treasury.
Shi Podang was just about to scold, when he saw Shen Chayan following the young man, his face changed: "Miss Cha'er, who is that?" ”
"Leng Zi's brother, Meng Changan."
"Him?!"
Shi Podang was stunned, and said in his heart that this guy was Meng Chang'an, who took the scouts to the Black Martial Kingdom in the northern Xinjiang and finally entered and exited nine times? No wonder, no wonder!
But he was not convinced.
Meng Changan glanced back at him, his eyes were empty, he didn't care who the people who came at all, he only cared if he could borrow a boat as soon as possible.
"Lord Admiral!"
Shi Podang shouted out in a voice behind him: "Give me fifty ships!" ”
