Zhao Quan, the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion, has been extremely busy recently, mainly customizing and collecting dry food.

First of all, I ordered 50,000 Hu cakes and 50,000 dough cakes in several nearby pastry shops, which are used to make dry food, contain very little water, and can be stored for a long time without spoiling.

Then there is the collection of dried beef, the Song Dynasty was not allowed to slaughter the cattle, so the beef at that time was already scarce, and the dried beef was even more scarce, and the dried beef in the entire Bianliang City was almost bought out, and even collected to other counties in Kaifeng Prefecture, for which the Jinyi Wei of the Qianlong Battalion was also launched.

There is no way, the task given by Zhao Hao is two thousand catties of beef jerky, and it is really difficult to collect so much for a while just by relying on Bianliang City.

Although Gongzi should go out and bring some dry food, Zhao Quan didn't understand why he had to bring so much dry food, which was simply the weight of three or four hundred people for more than a month. Gongzi sent an envoy to Liaodong, and there were government receptions along the way, and when he arrived at the Bohai Sea, there were naturally officials who arranged a big boat to pick him up, and the food on the ship should be everything, where did he still use it for his own backup?

Doubts are doubts, and the order of the son is naturally to be carried out.

In addition, before leaving, I bought hundreds of jars of good wine, and bought hundreds of leather wine bags and filled them with wine.

I feel that Gongzi's trip is not like a business trip, but like taking a caravan of hundreds of people to go to the city to go to the city, and the food alone is enough for thirty carriages, and the cost of the carriage alone is 20,000 yuan.

……

After more than a month of busy preparations, the day of the envoy to Liaodong has arrived.

In order to avoid the team being too large and slow on the day of travel, Zhao Hao asked Liang Lie and Li Hong, two henchmen, and twenty elite Jinyi guards to escort thirty carts full of materials used on the road, and left Bianliang City one day early.

In the early morning of the next day, the east just revealed the white of the fish's belly, the north gate of Bianliang, the defenders who had been on duty at the head of the city all night yawned, slowly hoisted the jack gate, and then slowly opened the inner door.

Knock da~

A cavalry slowly arrived late, attracting the attention of the defenders.

A banner like a cloud, a halberd like a forest, and a horse's hooves like rain......

The Great Song Dynasty was short of horses, and in those years, a seven-foot war horse was as eye-catching as a mid-range car. However, all of them are seven-foot-and-five-tall war horses, just like high-end sedans such as the BMW 5 Series or the Mercedes-Benz E Series. When the defenders saw more than 300 war horses about 7 feet 5 tall marching out, Rao is they were well-informed, and their hearts were also full of shock.

Under the banner, a slender young man rode an eight-foot white horse, dressed in a splendid robe, wearing a heroic hat, wearing a red tassel sunshade iron hat, and a long sword hanging from his waist.

Behind him were Wu Song, Fang Baihua and Liang Hongyu and more than 30 Jinyi guards, and then behind was Lu Zhishen with more than 100 elite soldiers of the forbidden army, while Han Shizhong and Yang Keshi led 200 Baiqi soldiers to open the way in front.

Needless to say, six famous generals in history, and whether it is the old kind of pro-guard forbidden army, or the famous white soldiers, they are the elite of the elite, the whole body exudes a brave atmosphere, and the eyes are full of indifference and murderous aura that is accustomed to life and death.

In addition to their strong combat effectiveness, their equipment is also an elite configuration, all of them are dressed in mountain armor, which is heavier than the starting people's armor, and the mountain armor not only has good protective performance, but also is light and flexible, and the appearance is also extremely beautiful. In addition to this, each man carried a large crossbow on his back, and two jugs of arrows hung from the saddle.

Zhao Hao recognized the crossbow, and the crossbow was the king of crossbows - the Great Song God Arm Crossbow with a range of up to 300 steps!

This kind of crossbow, the production process is extremely complicated and time-consuming, and the difficulty of the process is extremely high, the entire Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses, there are only more than a thousand, in order to protect the safety of Zhao Hao, Tong Guan and the old breed can be said to be sparing no blood.

There are three generals with a force of more than 94, plus three generals with a force of more than 85, and more than 300 elite soldiers in a hundred battles, most of whom are around 65, all of whom are at the level of the king of soldiers. Whether it is the old kind of personal guard forbidden army originally from the Western Army, and the Bai Qi soldiers were first formed by the old people, the three hundred elite soldiers are all considered to be soldiers and horses of the Western Army, they are familiar with each other, and they have all fought side by side in the Western Xia. With such combat effectiveness, even if it encounters an ordinary cavalry unit with twice the strength, it can only rush forward, if it is just ordinary infantry, even thousands of people will not be able to stop Zhao Hao's advance.

The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, but Zhao Hao wants to be a hero and a hero admired by tens of thousands of people, so he has to put himself in the sea of swords and fires, and only such elite soldiers can ensure safety along the way.

The group walked out of the north gate of Bianliang and went straight to the wharf by the Bianhe River, where several official ships were waiting.

As soon as I arrived near the dock, I heard someone shouting loudly behind me: "Childe stays, Childe stays......"

As soon as Zhao Hao looked up, he saw a group of cars and horses galloping towards him, about a dozen people, who had rushed close in a blink of an eye, and slowly stopped dozens of steps away.

The old race, the small race, Jin Chongyue, Xu Churen, Wu Min and others personally led the crowd to see each other, Zhao Hao's heart was hot, and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and the other generals saw the arrival of the old race and the small race, and they also came forward to greet each other.

Everyone greeted each other, and the old man waved his hand and shouted, "Bring it here!" ”

With a sound of response, more than a dozen personal soldiers unloaded a mouthful of large suitcases from the carriage, carried them over, and put them in front of Zhao Hao and the others.

The seed master opened one of the boxes, revealing a colorful thing, and the old seed took out a thing, but it was a grimace mask, painted with a colorful face, with a flower face and fangs, and an extremely ugly and vicious face, which was not good in his hand, but it looked extremely terrifying on his face.

The seed master said: "These masks, although they are just decorations, may be able to win at a critical moment, I hope that the son will raise the prestige of the Song Dynasty and return in triumph!" ”

Zhao Hao's expression was solemn, and he bowed respectfully to the enthusiastic old general to show his gratitude.

At this moment, there was another sound of horses' hooves and noise in the distance, which provoked Zhao Hao to look up and be stunned.

I saw that not far away, Zhao Fujin's horse galloped like a gust of wind, and seven or eight eunuchs behind him followed closely with their horses, shouting "Emperor Ji stays", but Zhao Fujin didn't pay attention to it at all, just beat the horse and galloped wildly.

The fourteen-year-old little Lori, dressed in a sky blue dress, lay tightly on the horse's back, her hair like a cloud fluttered in the wind, and the pearls on her head shone in the sun, like a gorgeous cloud, floating in.

Zhao Hao's expression was shocked, Zhao Fujin was obviously not very skilled in riding, and he might fall off the horse if he was not careful, and hurriedly walked forward. When the horse came near, he flew up, dodged the galloping hooves, grabbed the reins of the horse and pulled hard, and the horse's front hooves were raised high and came to a halt.

Zhao Fujin on horseback also fell, Zhao Hao hurriedly copied forward, hugged Zhao Fujin's body, and then slowly put it down.

"Why did you sneak out of the palace again?" Zhao Hao's expression was a little annoyed and a little distressed.

Zhao Fujin's mouth was deflated, and tears flowed down: "Brother Hao, I want to go to Liaodong with you......"

Zhao Hao looked at the pretty face like a pear blossom in the rain, and suddenly felt that something was melted in his heart, and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

At this moment, the eunuchs who were chasing after each other turned over and dismounted, ran to Zhao Hao and Zhao Fujin, knelt on the ground with a puff, and shouted one by one with a crying voice: "Son, the emperor can't go with him, otherwise the little ones will die!" ”

Zhao Hao waved his hand, and the eunuchs slowly got up.

Zhao Hao turned around, grabbed Zhao Fujin's shoulder, stared at Zhao Fujin's extremely beautiful little face with soft eyes, and said with a smile: "Can Sister Di Ji beat the drum?" ”

Zhao Fujin's face was full of doubts, and he said timidly: "Daddy has taught some." ”

Zhao Ji is really versatile, even this can ......

Zhao Hao showed a bright smile on his face, let go of the hand that grabbed Zhao Fujin's shoulder, turned around and pointed to the city gate in the distance, and said with a smile: "Well, on the day when the foolish brother returns triumphantly, Sister Di Ji will personally beat the drum to greet him at the head of the city, how about it?" ”

Zhao Fujin's eyes lit up with a bright light and said, "Okay...... Cannot...... I want to go with Brother Hao to envoy the Jurchen! ”

Zhao Hao's voice became softer and softer, and he said in a low voice: "How can there be a reason for the emperor to send an envoy to Fanguo...... Sister Di Ji is in Bianliang City, don't let the foolish brother's brocade guard be bullied, how about it? ”

Zhao Fujin showed a pitiful look in his eyes, and looked at Zhao Hao's face tightly, as if he couldn't see enough, and wanted to imprint his face in his heart so as not to forget.

After a long time, Zhao Fujin responded in a low voice: "Okay......"

Zhao Hao smiled, touched her head gently, and said with a smile: "Go back." ”

After speaking, he resolutely turned around and stopped looking at Zhao Fujin.

Zhao Fujin finally re-boarded the horse, and under the escort of a group of eunuchs, slowly walked towards the north gate of Bianliang, turning back three times in one step......

Seeing that Zhao Fujin had entered the north gate, Zhao Hao was about to retract his gaze, but he saw that inside the northeast gate of the north gate, a large group of people rushed out and went straight to the direction of the dock.

Hundreds of people!

"Tai student Chen Dong and 235 classmates, grateful for the loyalty of the son, came to see off the son, and wished the son a triumphant return!"

Zhao Hao looked at this scholar in his early thirties and the students behind him, and his heart was relieved.

Scholars and literati, this force seems to be weak, but for him, it is extremely important, because they represent the people's will to a large extent and dominate the direction of public opinion.

The sound of the flute and drum sounded, and the singing voice also rose high, tragic and generous, which was the long song of hundreds of students to bid farewell to the sons of the Great Song Dynasty...... Although Zhao Hao's heart was a little moved, he was also a little crying and laughing.

Bianshui is not easy water, and this son is not going to stab Yan Agu......

Finally, as soon as the students finished singing, they also slowly said goodbye, Zhao Hao also let out a long breath in his heart, and slowly boarded the deck of the official ship.

Just when Zhao Hao was about to give the order to anchor and cross the river, he saw a group of people and horses galloping over, shouting loudly to stay, and he was stunned again.

When he saw the cart and the flag of the comer, his face could not help but change again, and he hurriedly disembarked to meet him.

Prince Zhao Huan came to see him off!
