Chapter 114: The Way Home on a Snowy Night

Two days later, Jiang Chuan returned to Erlong Valley, accompanied by five more people in addition to the hundred guards: Mu Yi, Wang Siyuan, Huyan Jiaping, Yan Zhai, and Yangniu Mo Dai.

Wang Siyuan knew that his Lao Tzu would not agree, so he gave a prelude, left a letter and ran away.

Huyan Jiaping Jiang Chuan said hello to Li Yongnian, and he was also very happy to release people, 20,000 stone grain and grass and 20,000 taels of silver were all given up, and a small city gate official didn't care.

Yan Zhai, the post man, belonged to the prefect, and Bai Jinxiu said hello to Mu Zuo and it was done.

These two people were a little confused at first about Wu Anhou's sudden request for themselves, but after coming back to their senses, they both figured it out, and began to yearn and look forward to it.

Both of them know that if they don't seize this opportunity, they will probably be able to see the end in this life. And with this famous Wu Anhou, it is different, and there will be a lot of opportunities in the future.

Huyan Jiaping is alone, his parents have forgotten for a long time, and he has nothing to worry about. However, Yan Zhai has a wife and a child, Jiang Chuan directly gave him two hundred taels of silver to settle in the family to get his wife and children, and promised to wait for the settlement over there to pick up their mother and son.

As for the 20,000 stone grain and grass that Li Yongnian promised, he promised that he would follow the caravan led by Bai Jinxiu to Erlong Valley before the year.

The group was all on horseback, and when they returned, it was colder than when they came, and snow began to fall in the sky again. Jiang Chuan and his party don't care, they are all neatly dressed, how they came and how to go back. Huyan Jiaping is young and enthusiastic, and he has been in the army for a long time, so he is also in good condition.

What is surprising is that Yan Zhai, the post man, is also good at equestrianism, and the more than 100 miles of road has been supported all the way, without dragging down the team at all.

According to Jiang Chuan's thoughts, this foreign girl Mo Dai should not be able to ride a horse, so she prepared a carriage, but Mo Dai also asked to ride a horse after seeing Jiang Chuan, and said that her equestrian skills would never lose to Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan didn't believe it, but he didn't expect Mo Dai to jump on a horse with dexterity and gallop back and forth on the long street skillfully, and then turned over and dismounted lightly in front of Jiang Chuan, with her chin raised high, full of pride.

This surprised Jiang Chuan, and when he asked, he knew that Mo Dai had been practicing equestrianism since she was a child, which made her aristocratic status even more confirmed. Children from poor families don't have this condition.

Therefore, Mo Dai, who was dressed in men's clothes for the last time, successfully persuaded Jiang Chuan.

However, Mu Yi and Wang Siyuan, the two sons, although they have also ridden horses on weekdays, but in this cold and frozen Liaodong wasteland, the horses galloped for more than 100 miles, and the two pampered sons and brothers were also cold enough, and the roots of their thighs were red, swollen and painful from the saddle, and the original delicate skin also began to crack in the cold wind, and not long after leaving Datong City, the two of them fell behind.

Jiang Chuan was actually observing these four people along the way, especially Mu Yi, the two sons. He knew that these two sons and brothers were still relatively pure in their hearts compared to other gentlemen. But Brother Gongzi has been in office for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be arrogance in him.

If you don't grind off the arrogance of these two people, you won't be able to use it well in the future.

And this more than 100-mile wind and snow road is the first step to hone their arrogance.

Bai Mu rode up from behind, and rode side by side with Jiang Chuan: "Lord, those two sons and brothers have fallen behind, do you want to slow down the horse and wait for them." ”

The tone was obviously disdainful of these two. Of course, the warriors of Iron Horse Jingo do not look down on the noble son who is full of flowers.

Jiang Chuan gently shook the reins of the horse and rode forward, letting the bigger and bigger snowflakes be blown heavily on his face by the wind, although his ears were warm, and his face was covered with a thick mask, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes exposed.

"If you fall behind, you will fall behind, and if the opportunity is given to them, it depends on their own creation. The horses kept moving at the same speed, and they had to rush back to the valley before dark. Jiang Chuan's voice was a little ethereal in the wind and snow, but it was also a little cold.

After so many fights and so much blood, Jiang Chuan is no longer the ignorant, impulsive, pure and harmless young man he was half a year ago, not to mention that his heart is as hard as steel, he can also achieve the point where his heart is cold and difficult to melt when his heart should be hard.

People who are used to seeing too many killings have long since lost sight of the little tribulations in life. The so-called suffering in the eyes of others is greater than life and death in his eyes, and it is just a matter of whether he can persevere.

Bai Mu didn't say anything more, and ordered the whole team to continue to move forward at the same speed.

Fortunately, although Mu Yi and Wang Siyuan were not good at equestrianism, this willpower still did not disappoint Jiang Chuan, although they fell behind all the way, they still insisted on working hard not to fall behind, so that Jiang Chuan had a preliminary good impression of these two.

The group finally rushed back to Erlong Valley before dark, and at this time it was already full of wind and snow, and the north wind was howling.

Bai Mu had already sent someone back to report the news, and it didn't take long to see a team of cavalry braving the wind and snow to greet him, and the leader was Ran Wu.

Ran Wu was very happy to see Jiang Chuan turning. After the two finished greetings, Ran Wu gave an order, and the cavalry protected Jiang Chuan and his party in the middle, and galloped back towards Erlong Valley.

Mo Dai ran for more than 100 miles, and she didn't see much tiredness, but looked at the elite black-armored cavalry that appeared in the wind and snow with great interest, and was amazed.

Mu Yi and the others also have similar expressions, in the past, they all knew that the Jiang family army was strong and invincible, and today they finally saw the real elite cavalry of the Jiang family army, and the two of them saw the shock and yearning in each other's eyes, this team of black-armored cavalry walked like the wind, quiet as a pine, silent, silent like an ice sculpture, but the kind of arrogance that could not be concealed on the body was awe-inspiring and chilling.

When the group arrived at the fortress of Erlong Valley, the fortress was already bright with torches, and the towering and majestic fortress looked even more mysterious in the night, like a huge and majestic monster.

Looking at the majestic fortress in front of them, which was twice as tall as Datong City, which was known as the world's heroic city, Mo Dai, Mu Yi and the other five people were completely dumbfounded, looking up at it blankly, and their mouths were all muttering to themselves.

"God, there is such a tall castle, have I seen God's castle?" This is Mo Dai.

"My mother, this guy is so tall, he's about to poke into the sky, what's going on?" This is Huyan Jiaping, and he was so excited that his hometown dialect came out.

Mu Yi and Wang Siyuan were shocked, glanced at each other, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Yi Cheng Yan Zhai was also dumbfounded, looked at this towering and majestic fortress, and then looked ahead, muttering: "This Wu'an Hou has such an earth-shattering magnanimity, I really don't know how to do it."

A few people were in a daze, and the group ran out of the city gate again, but it was Liu Ji who came to greet him with Shanjia and Baishan.
