Chapter 272: Midnight
Luo Zhenxing picked up the soup that was already cold, and took a bite of dry food, only then did he remember that Zhang Chao had not had time to eat when he was called out by Han Dazhu, and it was already very tiring to carry goods and set up tents in the evening, but now Zhang Chao has to walk more than ten miles to find Han Dazhu's sister, it seems that Zhang Chao must not be able to walk on this way.

Thinking of this, Luo Zhenxing couldn't help but whisper, "It's broken!" ā
"Wang Peng, what's wrong with you? What's broken? A man who was eating with him asked.
"It's nothing, I went to the toilet, but when I came back, the food was cold." Luo Zhenxing explained with a smile and diverted the topic.
"It's all big men, you have to run so far like a girl in the toilet, can't you just solve it behind the tent? The soup is cold this time, right? The man next to him said with disdain.
"I'll solve it behind the tent, and you can eat when you smell it!" Luo Zhenxing fought back decisively, and the people in the tent all laughed when they heard this, and the matter of his late return was revealed.
"Why did Zeng Sheng go for so long and didn't come back?" After the folk men finished dinner, they found Zhang Chao, who had not yet returned, and one of them asked, "Didn't you let the wolf take it away?" ā
"No, didn't he let Brother Han call him away? In the past two days, he has been patting Brother Han's ass, and it is estimated that he has climbed to a high branch, and tomorrow we will ask him to take charge. The other folk man immediately said his conjecture, and he didn't even need Luo Zhenxing to find any excuse to be perfunctory, he just quietly listened to the folk husband's discussion.
"I think too, this Zeng Sheng is a sycophant, and a few days ago, wasn't he still following Steward Wang and Steward Song?"
"Be careful of your mouth, tomorrow someone will be in charge, if you know that you are talking bad about him behind your back, see that people still don't clean you up, and if you don't say anything, your wages will be deducted!"
"Ouch, why didn't I think of that! You must keep it a secret from your brother, don't tell Zeng Sheng, I am both old and young, how can I afford to have my salary deducted. ā
ā¦ā¦
At this time, they were discussing that Chao himself was of course impossible to be promoted to be in charge, and he was walking the grassland alone, thinking that it was no big deal to walk for more than ten miles, but there was no one at all on this boundless grassland, and there was no so-called road, Zhang Chaoshen walked with one shallow foot, and could only rely on the stars in the sky to judge the direction.
At night, it was much colder on the grassland than in Guannei, which Zhang Chao had fully realized in the previous two days, but at that time he finally had a tent to live in, and now he doesn't even have a tent. And more importantly, he didn't have time to eat at night, and his body couldn't replenish energy when he was hungry, so he naturally felt even more cold, and his legs were a little weak when he walked.
After finding a stone and sitting down, Zhang Chao happily took out an egg from his arms - this was still the morning when they were about to leave Zhangjiakou, Zhang Chao did not eat it at that time, but kept it in his arms, ready to use it for emergencies, and the current facts have indeed proved that his choice at that time can really be said to be far-sighted.
Eating this egg greedily, and even wishing to eat the egg skin together, Zhang Chao finally recovered a little strength, then stood up and continued to walk, after all, there are still more than ten miles of road, and the night on the grassland is so cold, rest for a while, I am afraid that the energy that has been recovered will be wasted again.
While walking with difficulty, while listening to the wolf howls from time to time around him, Zhang Chao also wondered in his heart that this grassland outside the Saiwai is really not suitable for ordinary people to live, that is, the kind of Mongolian Tartars who are strong and look like bears can survive here.
"Wang Dengku, businessmen like them, would run to such a place in order to make money, it seems that the profits in this are really not low." Zhang Chao felt that if it were him, he would definitely not do this kind of business - it was obviously a business, how could it be more tiring and dangerous than marching and fighting?
I don't know how long I walked, but just when Zhang Chao felt exhausted, a felt tent followed by moonlight finally caught his eyes.
Seeing that he had reached his destination, Zhang Chao's already exhausted body burst out of its last potential, and walked briskly towards the felt tent......
In fact, it was already late at night, and the people in the tent were all very tired after a day's journey and a lot of work, and they were all asleep at this moment, so that although there was a earth-shattering snoring sound in the tent, no one was woken up by the snoring - in this way, Luo Zhenxing quietly got up and walked out of the tent, and the other people did not know about it.
After coming out of the tent, Luo Zhenxing quickly saw Han Dazhu, because he only came out after hearing Han Dazhu's code outside the tent.
Tonight is Han Dazhu's night, of course, this is not due to any coincidence, but Han Dazhu's initiative to ask, after all, it is not a good thing to be on duty at night, since he took the initiative to take on this drudgery, others are naturally happy to give him this opportunity.
"How's it going?" After Luo Zhenxing saw Han Dazhu, he asked quietly.
"I just saw that there are more than a dozen people on Jiannu's side who take care of the goods, and if you want to kill them quietly and then set fire to the grain, I'm afraid it's very difficult to get hands on them." Han Dazhu said with some discouragement.
Luo Zhenxing said softly, "Brother Han, don't worry, it's still early, and I'm not in a hurry to start at this time, in my opinion, it's most appropriate to wait until it's almost dawn." ā
Luo Zhenxing's words are naturally very reasonable, as an industry insider's Jinyi guard, he is naturally much more experienced than Han Dazhu, who was born in Yeluzi, every day at dawn, before dawn is the time when everyone sleeps most soundly and has the lowest vigilance, even if they are the guards of Jiannu, they must be very sleepy at that time, or simply rest quietly - after all, they can't imagine that there are still people on this grassland who have the courage to fight their food and materials.
"Brother Wang Peng is right, if the journey goes well, it is estimated that Brother Zeng Sheng has already arrived at my sister's house, but they will definitely not have time to rush here to pick us up." Han Dazhu analyzed, "Since this is the case, why don't we wait a little longer, and then do it when the day is almost dawn, at that time, my sister-in-law and their people should also arrive." ā
