Chapter 116: Westbound
Soon, it was time for the Games to depart.
In the past few months, Lin Qing recruited another 300 people, armed them, and incorporated them into the Qiao Jockey.
Ji Qiao asked these 300 people to stay in the Hou Mansion, and the previous 500 people were taken to Luoyi.
The Anbang Marquis Mansion was under the sole responsibility of Steward Chen, and some capable generals were left to help him.
And Ji Qiao repeatedly told him to manage the people below, not to go out to make trouble, to guard the Hou Mansion wholeheartedly, especially the iron smelting visit, and not to let any idle people enter or leave.
......
The king of Qi asked Tian Xi to lead the state and military affairs, and the Xiangguo Cai Hun and the generals assisted him, and he and the queen set off with 50,000 elite soldiers and some ministers.
King Qi was afraid that Xuanwu Hou would make trouble at home, so he deliberately took him with him.
Wei Hua also brought more than 20 people, but Ji Qiao had already explained to her that these people were not allowed to leave the barracks and could not transmit information to the outside world.
Wei Hua nodded his head and agreed.
Qichun also begged to go this time, saying that Ji Qiao promised her to eat alone last time, so she changed it to this trip.
Ji Qiao had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Since there were more women brought this time, there were more than a dozen, Ji Qiao didn't want to be too ostentatious, so he asked these women to set off in several carriages.
Lin Shi, Wei Hua, Tian Yan, and Ji Ling refused to live or die, and had to ride horses.
Ji Qiao couldn't twist it, so she had to follow their temperament, but she got into the spring-like carriage.
But before he entered, he was brought out by Lin Shi, and said fiercely: "You are impatient, aren't you?" ”
Ji Qiao said angrily: "If you don't take the carriage, forget it, and you won't let me sit either." ”
Lin Shi continued to say fiercely: "But you can't sit with these women!" ”
Ji Qiao asked helplessly, "Who are you sitting with?" There are all carriages of women, and the king and queen sit in one, and I can't squeeze them out. ”
Lin Shi said loudly: "Horseback riding!" ”
Ji Qiao shook his head: "No, this march is too slow, it will take half a month to arrive in Luoyi, and I can't stand it on horseback." ”
Lin Shi suddenly suggested: "Then we don't go with the army, we go first on horseback." ”
Wei Hua, Tian Yan, and Ji Ling were very excited after hearing this, and they all agreed.
Ji Qiao continued to shake his head: "No, the king will not agree." ”
"I'll go and talk to my father." Tian Yan didn't wait for Ji Qiao's consent, and immediately went to find King Qi.
After seeing it, he said directly: "Father, Ji Qiao said that the marching speed was too slow, and he couldn't stand it on horseback, so he had to leave in advance, so I went with him." ”
King Qi was a little unconvinced, now it was a march, and if Gongzi Qiao wanted to set off alone, he would definitely report to himself! So he asked, "Why didn't he come here?" ”
Tian Yan replied: "Is it different for me to come, let's go first." ”
Tian Yan doesn't care if her father agrees? Immediately gone.
The king of Qi was about to stop it, but the queen advised: "Let them go!" ”
......
Tian Yan said to everyone at this time: "My father is approved! ”
Ji Qiao was a little unconvinced: "I'll go and confirm." ”
Tian Yan stopped and said to Lin Shi: "We will take him away directly." ”
Ji Qiao said loudly: "You can't mess around!" This is a march, and you have to be prepared to go, just a few of you women, you can't do anything, who will serve you on the road? In case something happens, who will send the information? ”
Tian Yan had no choice but to get out of the way.
......
After Ji Qiao obtained the consent of King Qi, he explained to Dongfang Jiao and Lin Qing.
The next day, he set off with four women and more than 20 elite horsemen, and Wei Hua's people were not allowed to follow.
A horse can run eighty miles in an hour, but it can't run for two hours, so it will do its best. So Ji Qiao didn't ask for it so fast, it was enough to run fifty or sixty miles in one hour, walk for four to five hours a day, and rest for an hour in between.
At this rate, it will take four to five days to reach Luoyi, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.
Now the march is not like the first day, giggling, but speechless all the way, in a hurry.
On the first day, we walked 300 miles, and it was not until the sun went down that everyone entered a small town and stopped to rest.
The next day, everyone traveled all the way, walked more than 300 miles, entered the territory of Weiguo, and found a place to rest.
On the third day, everyone walked out of Weiguo, entered Wei Jing again, and passed by a small town called Baima by the Yellow River.
The highest administrative level of Baima was the county, after more than 1,500 years, Ming Hongwu abolished Baima County into Huazhou for three years, and the most famous historical event of Baima was "the siege of Baima".
Ji Qiao said at this time: "You can't just rush to the road, just rest here tonight, and I'll take everyone to the Yellow River to have a look." ”
Lin Shi and Tian Yan had never seen the Yellow River, so they urged: "Let's get something to eat and go right away." ”
Wei Hua crossed the Yellow River when he went to Qi, and Ji Ling grew up by the sea, so she didn't have much interest.
After eating, Ji Qiao took everyone to the Yellow River.
Lin Shi and Tian Yan have been screaming non-stop.
Ji Qiao really couldn't stand it: "Aren't you tired?" Last night it was said that the bones were falling apart. ”
Lin Shi smiled: "It's too boring all the way, be happy!" We've never seen the Yellow River before, and it's spectacular! ”
Ji Qiao said in his heart: This is a good time for me to pretend to be forced, don't miss it! Especially before Wei Hua had seen himself compose a poem, he thought of a poem by his descendants, which was more suitable for the current situation, and immediately pretended to read it:
The shore is wide and the waves are sparse,
Thinking about the danger alone;
Xiao Xiao is far away from the sparse forest,
Half of the autumn mountains with the sunset.
Meaning: The Yellow River is wide, there are only a few boats sailing, and the waves are rolling in front of you, and it is slim. I climbed the pavilion by the river alone, leaning against the railing, and my sorrow was like a river, flowing endlessly. In the distance by the river, in the bleak autumn wind, there was a sparse forest, behind which were towering mountains, half bathed in the sunshine of the west.
But the crowd ignored him and said, "Don't show off the poems, and have some fun." ”
Ji Qiao had no choice but to walk to the river: "Let's rent a boat and go to the river to play." ”
Everyone immediately followed.
Tian Yan was a little scared at first, but under the persuasion of everyone, she still got on the boat.
And then it's crazy out of control!
......
On the fourth day, the group continued westward and walked more than 300 miles before stopping to rest.
Ji Qiao said to a few women at this time: "It is less than two hundred miles away from Luoyi City, and it will be there tomorrow, and everyone will be crazy at that time." ”
The women were very excited!
On the afternoon of the fifth day, the group arrived in Luoyi.
Ji Qiao only brought a few retinues into the city, and the rest stayed outside the city, just in case something happened, so that they could take over.
At this time, the city is full of lights and lively! There is a festive atmosphere everywhere, just like a festival!
More than 200,000 people inside and outside the city got carried away and waited for the final celebration!
Ji Qiao found the best inn, paid for ten days' room, and then everyone stayed.
The women didn't care about the fatigue and immediately went shopping.
Ji Qiao refused to go with him, so they took two of their attendants out and said that they would eat out in the evening.
