The long November has finally passed, the first day of December, just in time for the year to break, the four away from the big murder on duty, the year of Tai Sui, the passing year of the flying stars are all uneven, it is the day of the great murder of all things, but the team of offering silver still set off from Wuchang City, to the Beijing Division.

Zhu Huachi led dozens of royal guards, plus more than a dozen northern scholars who returned by the way, Wang Shouren, a hundred households left behind in Beijing, and a group of celebrant eunuchs and eunuchs, and there were local officers and soldiers to defend, and the convoy was also mighty, and the speed was not fast.

The weather was not necessarily good, the clouds were low all day, but it was terribly cold, and the cold wind and drizzle blew on the face like silver needles head-on.

The road was muddy, and the drivers could only wear non-slip straw sandals, steaming with sweat and heat, like cattle and horses, dragging the silver carts and the cars in which the big men were riding.

Although the wheels of the sedan are very large and tall, and the shockproof design is specially installed, it is still bumpy and tight, and people in the cabin are like in a tumbling laundry bucket.

Li Mi is not so delicate, he, Xiong Tingbi, Zhao Guangling and others are all accompanied by horseback and guards, and they are also cautious enough.

As for Zheng Duofu and Qiu Dong and others, they naturally shrunk in the car, covered with a warm blanket on their knees, and dozed off with their eyes slightly closed.

The snorts and neighing of the mules and horses, the shouting of the coachmen, and the loud directions of the guards from time to time not only make people feel lively, but also set off the surroundings more quietly, as if the road did not lead to the capital, but to the underworld!

Because it is the official road, at noon, it has been out of Wuchang, and the city can no longer be seen when I turn back, and the farmland on both sides is gradually decreasing, all of which are some hills and dense forests, and there are some scattered tea trees on the hills, but there are no people.

Occasionally, a woodcutter with firewood on his back passed by, looking at the banner of the procession with some numbness and some consternation, and then he fell to his knees beside the road, causing the guards of the palace to laugh at him.

These palace guards are also confident enough, and they also rode out to hunt along the way, but the dart master hired by the palace is calm and steady, and the dart head comes over from time to time and humbly gives Zhu Huachi some advice.

The palace guards looked down on these dart masters, thinking that these dart masters were just leading the way, but they regarded themselves as garlic, so they often ridiculed these dart masters.

The dart masters are not allowed to carry bows and crossbows, only knives, and the knives cannot be military long knives and goose feather knives, but only folk ring knives or simply machetes, and each knife has a number, which needs to be recorded in the official register, with the ticket issued by the government.

The dart masters can't wear armor, and they look cold, and the palace guards in fresh clothes and angry horses don't look down on these dart masters.

Zu Dashou and other martial artists are all generals, and at this time, they also bring their own blades and armor, which are more majestic than those palace guards.

However, Xiong Tingbi and Zhao Guangling often talked with these dart masters, inquired about all kinds of interesting things in Tiannan and Haibei, and also took out the wine and food given by the king of Chu to share with them.

Although Zhao Guangling is a noble disciple of the gatekeeper, he does not have any shelf, his appearance is higher than the force value, people always have such a mentality, like things close to beauty, so the dart masters are also very close to Zhao Guangling.

And although Xiong Tingbi is taciturn, he is actually a heroic and straightforward character, and he also mingles with these dart masters, as for Suo Changsheng, it is like returning home, and in less than half a day, these dart masters can't be called by their brothers and brothers, and Suo Changsheng has become a lifelong friendship.

Li Mi also wanted to make friends with these dart masters, after all, their experience in walking was very sophisticated, and they were a very precious treasure.

Through conversation, Li Mi also has a deeper understanding of the dart masters, they are not characters who fight and kill in film and television dramas.

Although there have been times when swords fight, but more often they are exploring the way ahead, the major dart bureaus are somewhat famous in the martial arts, and the bandits along the way are also willing to give this face, as long as you pay the toll, usually will not fight with you, and will not rob the dart.

So it's not so much their guards as brokers, brokers between the footmen and the bandits, brokers who spend money to buy peace.

Even so, their way of dealing with the world is full of a philosophy of life that values harmony, and Li Mi and Xiong Tingbi and others have also benefited a lot.

Although Li Mi couldn't have a deep friendship with them, he still learned a lot by listening to their conversations.

He finally understood why Zhao Guangling and Xiong Tingbi were so outstanding, because they treated everything with a learning attitude, that is, making friends, they also had great sincerity, although they were not shallow and deep, but they did a lot of work on the surface.

In contrast, Zu Dashou and the others could only hunt along the way with those royal guards, barbecue their prey in the camp, and eat and drink recklessly, as if eating meat and drinking wine in a big bowl was a heroic dry cloud.

But in the eyes of others, shrinking in a corner of the camp, carefully gnawing on the dry food of the hard state, that is, going to the river to drink a sip of spring water, all of them have to pluck water with one hand, and those dart masters who watch and listen to all directions are really full of rivers and lakes.

Zheng Duofu was arrogant and expensive, so he hid in the car, and except for necessary physiological problems that needed to get out of the car, he did not come into contact with these people at any other time.

After all, they are women, and Zheng Duofu can't do without Zhang Huangting, so he stayed in the car and chatted with them to relieve his boredom.

After walking like this for a day, in the evening, I walked out of more than 20 miles, which also made people a little speechless, at this speed, it is not easy to arrive in Beijing before the year.

Of course, Li Mi will not follow them to Jingshi, they are just returning to Suzhou Mansion together.

Despite this, Li Mi was still walking on thin ice, and the guards disdained to provide food for the dart masters, but they couldn't snub Li Mi.

However, Li Mi and Zhao Guangling and others followed the dart masters all day long, and they didn't want the food brought by the guards.

At night, the royal guards set up large tents, lit bonfires that soared to the sky, and after eating and drinking, they fell asleep, and the dart masters scattered around the camp, vigilant of the surrounding environment.

Li Mi is a night owl, so he smokes a cigarette stick and patrols with these dart masters, but the dart masters are a little lukewarm to Li Mi.

First, Li Mi didn't have a way to talk to them more, and secondly, the relationship between Li Mi and Zhu Huachi was too close.

Moreover, Li Mi has an official body in the end, and the people of the green forest have never dealt with the government, so they have kept a distance from Li Mi.

Li Mi didn't show anything on weekdays, and these dart masters didn't see what he was capable of, so there was nothing to say in the two compartments.

Li Mi didn't care, so he kept watch all night, and continued to move forward on the second day, after a night of camping, Zu Dashou and others and the palace guards were too lazy to go out hunting, and as soon as the freshness passed, it was dull.

These people let the dart master do everything, and they are still complacent about the dart master, and sometimes Li Mi can't stand it, and he will mention it.

In any case, in the evening, seeing that he was finally about to leave the border of Wuchang, there were still differences after all.

The dart masters decided that this place should not be stayed for long, and they needed to move on and choose a safe place to set up camp again.

The royal guards believed that it was taboo to walk at night, and the dart masters did not even understand the most basic common sense, and insisted on settling down at the border.

The dart masters also tried hard to persuade them, because the border land is the most complicated, after committing a crime, both sides don't want to care, and it is easiest to get out, so the border land is a paradise for bandits, and most of the robberies occur at the border.

What the dart masters said is not unreasonable, if the head snake commits a crime in the territory, it is easy to be recognized, and the risk of outsiders entering the territory to commit crimes is too great, so the border is the best choice for the bandits.

Li Mi knew this, he supported the dart masters, but Zhu Huachi and Wang Shouren finally decided to set up camp first, and Li Mi couldn't say anything more.

Because after walking for two days, everyone was tired, and the night quickly buried the pot to cook, and the guards and warriors stopped making noise, and it was not long after night, and there was a large amount of snoring in the camp.

Li Mi didn't sleep endlessly, but he couldn't hold on, so he didn't stay outside tonight, and when he got into the car of Qiu Dong and the others, he leaned on the wheel, covered with a blanket, and his feet were roasting on the fire, and he dozed off in a daze.

After everyone quieted down, Li Mi opened his eyes again, looked around, the fire was still burning, and even the dart masters were a little drowsy, so Li Mi got up and walked to the black forest next to the camp.

When he arrived in the black forest, Li Mi took out an ocarina, whined and blew three rounds, and after about half a cup of tea, a person came out of the forest and said to Li Mi.

"Master Li, I'm here!"

When Li Mi saw the man, he asked, "Are the people of Guan County still following?" ”

The man: "Yes, the county magistrate led a group of officers and soldiers, followed five miles away, and saw that he was about to leave the Wuchang border, and after crossing this line, we couldn't keep up anymore......"

"The county master said, I'm afraid that you are too worried, Lord Li, and now it is safe and sound, after tonight, we can only return to Wuchang......"

Li Mi also frowned, and he also had some doubts in his heart, because according to his expectations, Zhu Huachi and Zhu Xianju and other behind-the-scenes masterminds should not let the convoy leave Wuchang.

Because after leaving Wuchang, the power of these Chu Wang Sects is beyond their reach, and it will become more difficult to intercept the convoy, so they should do it in Wuchang, tonight is the last chance, if they can spend tonight safely, this convoy will be safe.

This is also why Li Mi insisted on not eating the guards' things, because he was afraid that Zhu Huachi would steal from him, drug them, and take the opportunity to rob them.

But now, it seems that he is really worried, so he said to the man: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, you go back and tell the county master, if everything is as usual, you can return to Wuchang tomorrow." ”

The man hugged his fist at Li Mi, and was about to leave, but the surrounding forest was full of shadows, and many figures appeared!

"Li Mi, you are really shrewd enough, but it's a pity, don't even think about going back tonight!"

Li Mi heard this voice, and his heart was also tight, and his heart said that he should have come in the end, but Zhu Huachi finally couldn't sit still!

"General, what do you mean by that?" Li Mi turned around, and sure enough, he saw Zhu Huachi walking out of the darkness, with a vicious and vicious face!

"What do you mean? Of course, it's killing people and robbing the bars to get rich! ”

Although Li Mi had expected it, he didn't expect Zhu Huachi to be so blatant, so he asked him.

"Aren't you afraid that the King of Chu will take revenge on you if he finds out?"

Zhu Huachi laughed and said, "You are all dead, how can the King of Chu know?" It's a big deal to repay him and say that he was robbed, the emperor doesn't have a good temper for those who rebel, the king of Chu said that he wanted to offer silver, but it was not delivered, how do you think the emperor would do it? ”

"So you have a plan!" Li Mi also pretended to be surprised, just to guide Zhu Huachi to tell the conspiracy himself!
