Chapter Eighty-Five: Guards
From Xi'an Fucheng to Mizhi County, more than 1,200 miles, the carriage takes at least 20 days, counting the delay on the way, at least 25 days, in fact, according to the previous rules, there is no need for so much time, mainly because the road is not particularly safe, and many places are plundered by bandits.

Wu Fanhui has determined that the time of departure from Xi'an Fucheng is September 25, so that he can return to Mizhi County in late October, and after spending the Spring Festival in Mizhi County, he will set off again, choosing to go out to travel and see the outside world, rather than choosing to attend classes in the county.
The carriage has been hired, Wu Fanhui, Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin are riding horses, Li Jiacui and Li Jingfei are riding in the carriage, plus some things purchased, so only one carriage is enough.
Early in the morning of the 25th, when starting from the inn, Wu Fanhui did not show nostalgia, Xi'an Mansion City is indeed prosperous, especially in the past few days of wandering and shopping for things, the shops on the street are lined up one after another, it seems that the famine in Shaanxi has little to do with here, but here has little to do with him Wu Fanhui for the time being.
Walking out of the south gate, Wu Fanhui didn't even look back.
Wu Fanhui and the other three rode horses and followed behind the carriage, the carriage trunk had been covered with a curtain, after all, the climate began to become cold, Li Jiacui and Li Jingfei were in the curtain, it must be warmer.
Walking less than five miles, Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin began to look around, as if looking for something, which made Wu Fanhui a little strange, this is only five miles away from Xi'an Fucheng, whether it is bandits, or peasant rebels, but not so bold, it is said that this section of the road is safe, until after passing Fuping County, the official road around it became unsafe.
In just a few minutes, two black shadows on horseback appeared in front of the official road, and after seeing the two black shadows, Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin's faces became a little lighter.
"Childe, it's not very safe along the way, Brother Sun and I have found two helpers, a total of four people, and we can also deal with what happened on the road."
"Ma Jigang, Sun Kailin, these two are your former companions."
"What Childe said is that we used to do things together."
When the two people who galloped were still about ten meters away from Wu Fanhui and the others, they pulled the reins.
The two rode Mongolian horses, which were common in places such as Shaanxi and Shanxi, and were mainly used by the army.
"Brother Li, Brother Liu, this is Gongzi Wu."
Ma Jigang hurriedly opened his mouth to introduce, but Wu Fanhui's brows furrowed slightly.
The leader is called Brother Li, a middle-aged man, who looks steady and capable, and there is a brave aura revealed between his eyebrows.
Wu Fanhui clasped his fists on horseback and saluted.
"Two eldest brothers, in Xia Wu Fanhui, a native of Mizhi County."
"Childe is polite, I'm Li Yong, and this is Liu Fangheng."
"All brothers in the four seas, since we are destined to get together, please take care of them in the future."
"Don't worry, Childe, we will definitely do our best."
Li Yong's attitude was very bold, but Wu Fanhui felt a trace of exquisite meaning, he speculated about the meaning, from the attitude shown by Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin, this Li Yong must have been their eldest brother before, or the boss, the patriarch once told him that Ma Jigang and others are Jinyiwei, presumably this Li Yong is also Jinyiwei, the dignity and humility within Jinyiwei are very clear, the commander, the commander and the commander are the senior officers in the Jinyiwei, and the Zhenfu is a middle-level officer. The governor and the officials are considered low-level officers, and the officers at the core of the Jinyi Guard are pacified, because the pacification is a pure military position, and they can lead troops to perform many tasks.
The suppression is from the rank of the fifth grade, but it belongs to the military attaché, if it is not in the Jinyi Guard, the military attache from the fifth grade is really nothing, but the pacification of the guard belongs to the official in charge of military discipline, and he still has a certain amount of power.
Wu Fanhui predicts that this Li Yong is likely to be the pacification of Jinyi Wei in the past, and Ma Jigang, Sun Kailin, Liu Fangheng and others were all accepted by Li Yong.
Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin invited Li Yong at this time, what does it mean, I'm afraid it's not as simple as guarding on the road.
When it was about to get dark, Wu Fanhui and his entourage arrived in Jingyang.
Xi'an Fucheng to Jingyang County nearly ninety miles, set off in the morning, arrive in the evening is nothing, especially Wu Fanhui and others are riding horses, but the carriage is a little difficult, fortunately Wu Fanhui gave a high salary, the coachman did not complain, just arrived in Jingyang County, found the inn to stay, the coachman quickly fed the horse soybeans and water.
Wu Fanhui proposed to arrange accommodation, Li Yong did not object, and the other three did not speak.
This made Wu Fanhui a little unhappy, before Li Yong arrived, Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin almost listened to his arrangement, but after Li Yong came, the two seemed to look at Li Yong's face and act, thinking about it carefully, Wu Fanhui also felt relieved, Li Yong is the boss and eldest brother of Ma Jigang and others, and the relationship is not ordinary.
When eating, Li Jiacui still won't go to the table, but Li Jingfei will sit with everyone to eat.
Because it was the first time to eat together, Wu Fanhui personally held the pot and poured wine for Li Yong and Liu Fangheng.
Li Yong didn't refuse, just looked at Li Jingfei, and of course this action was discovered by Wu Fanhui.
"Today's acquaintance is fate, come, I salute Brother Li and Brother Liu with a bowl of wine, Ma Jigang, Sun Kailin, you drink together, Li Jingfei, you are too young to drink, replace wine with tea."
Wu Fanhui's toast showed a momentum, not at all like a young man, and specifically mentioned Li Jingfei, which made Li Yong slightly surprised, when he was in a hurry during the day, Wu Fanhui barely said anything.
"Thank you, Childe, I'm dry for this bowl of wine."
"Slow down, Brother Li, Brother Liu, I'll do it first as respect."
Wu Fanhui drank it in one go, turned the wine bowl down, and not a drop of wine came out.
Scholars don't drink like this, such momentum can only be shown in the army, Wu Fanhui is a little Sanyuan after all, the leader among scholars, he actually has such actions and heroism, which makes Li Yong can't help but squint his eyes.
After drinking the first bowl of wine, Li Yong held the pot and poured the bowl full of wine again.
"Childe is the head of the county trial, the head of the government trial and the head of the hospital test, we are very admired, thanks to Gongzi just toasted a bowl of wine, I return a bowl of wine on behalf of my brothers."
Wu Fanhui stood up with a smile and picked up the wine bowl.
"Brother Li, I have a straightforward temper, the so-called what mountain to sing what song, with Brother Li and his brothers, what I pay attention to is boldness, eating meat and drinking wine in a big bowl, there are not so many crepe things, I drank this bowl of wine."
Seeing that Li Yong and everyone drank it in one go, Wu Fanhui also drank it in one go.
Next, Liu Fangheng held the pot and poured the bowl full of wine again.
Wu Fanhui didn't frown, picked up the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp.
Before he started eating, he drank three bowls of wine in a row, and Wu Fanhui's face changed color and his heart didn't beat.
Li Yong and Liu Fangheng couldn't think of it, they actually had doubts in their hearts, no matter what Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin said, they wouldn't believe it when they didn't see it with their own eyes, they had also come into contact with readers, there were too many rules, so they couldn't stand it, but the little Sanyuan in front of him didn't have the sourness of a scholar at all, but showed the heroism of a soldier.
Things gather people in groups, what kind of people should show what temperament, unless it is the kind of wisdom and courage that is not born in the world, can be comprehensive.
"Childe is a scholar, I can't imagine that he is so heroic, our brother admires it very much."
"Brother Li is polite, we have only been together for a day, Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin have been with me for more than a month, they know my temper, people treat me loyally, I treat people with sincerity, there are not so many fake things, if they are brothers, they will be honest with each other, and they can trust each other's lives, and if they are opponents, they will simply be decisive, and they don't have to drag their hands together."
"What Childe said is, but things in this world are not as simple as Childe said."
"Of course, Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been popular for a long time, and there is no one in this world who is a fool, and those who play others as fools in applause are ultimately playing with themselves."
When Wu Fanhui said this, Li Yong and the others were stunned, they couldn't believe that such words came from the mouth of a fourteen-year-old boy, who was this Wu Fanhui, and why did he say the words, which had gone through vicissitudes.
Seeing that everyone was a little stunned, Wu Fanhui smiled and picked up the wine bowl.
"Okay, let's not say that, after thirty years, it's time for us to savor it slowly."
When he was resting, Wu Fanhui's expression was serious, and he faintly felt that Li Yong was actually observing him, as for what would happen later, he couldn't predict it, but Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin must have reported everything to Li Yong, and they were cautious before Li Yong appeared in front of him, and he was actually exquisite.
Next, they will go all the way to Mizhi County, with the addition of Li Yong and Liu Fangheng, the safety factor is much higher, it can be said that there is no need to worry too much on the road, between him and Li Yong and others, get along well, but the patriarch said that the origin and past of Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin and others, not surprisingly, Li Yong is the leader of this gang.
To be able to have such a group of people around him, that is something that everyone dreams of, think about Wei Zhongxian back then, one person is above 10,000 people, and a group of loyal warriors are needed, not to mention him Wu Fanhui.
How to really envelop these people around them and make them die is not something that can be done by just talking, I am afraid that it will come to fruition after really experiencing some things.
Wu Fanhui has such confidence.
