The emergence of Chidao greatly reduced the distance from Xuanfu to Jingshi. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info From the capital all the way to the west, and then to the north, along the way, a group of men and horses walked extremely fast, and a thousand carriages also played a great role, due to the smoothing of the road, a large number of carriages appeared, as in the past, relying on manpower to transport grain, grass, ordnance has been replaced by horse-drawn carriages.

In fact, this reason is very simple, there is no gallop road, the carriage is simply not fully loaded, the winding, muddy path can only rely on manpower to transport, and a manpower, from the capital to the border town takes at least half a month of effort, this person needs to eat and drink on the way, at least more than fifteen catties of grain must be consumed, and a person carries no more than thirty or fifty catties of grain at most, which means that if the former requisition of the people, completely rely on manpower to transport, At least more than half of the grain is consumed by these manpower, and not only that, but in the event of bad weather, the time and food consumed will be even more. That's it...... Or because the Jingshi is not far from the border town, if the Jingshi is set up in Nanjing, then the time and consumption will only double, and even the south and the north are almost cut, thanks to the Grand Canal opened up by Emperor Yang of Sui, if there is no canal, the north and the south are almost in a state of separation.

Now it is different, one or two people, after owning a carriage, can carry hundreds of pounds of baggage, and the speed of walking has been reduced from half a month to five to seven days, the wear and tear has been reduced to a minimum, and the speed has also increased by many times.

1,300 new troops had already set off, a carriage of six people, although crowded, it was much better than walking, and when they arrived at Datong, the border towns had already prepared military horses, so what they had to do was to use the carriage to transport them to Datong, and then ride out of the customs.

Qian Fang was both excited and a little nervous about this adventure, the new army that had been trained for two years finally came to use the army today, and in the depths of Qian Fang's heart, why didn't he want to establish some meritorious deeds. But this adventure is by no means fun, compared to the previous petty fights, it is almost always determined the future of the new army, this journey, he has not slept well, several times to meet Liu Chengfeng, but also revealed this concern.

However, Liu Chengfeng is still calm, his principle is like this, why don't you do it, since you choose to do it, you will never consider the consequences, his line is behind the new army, more than a dozen carriages, in addition to a guard, there are also cars for him and Li Ruofan.

For Li Ruofan, a woman, Liu Chengfeng is extremely wary, and people have been staring at her at any time, but on the surface, he still shows tolerance.

He vaguely felt in his heart that this woman would definitely play some tricks and would never be willing to be restrained.

It has been the third day of departure from Jingshi, and the speed of the mission is extremely fast, and now it has arrived in Lu'an Province, and after a short rest in Lu'an Province, it continues all the way north, straight to the direction of Datong.

Liu Chengfeng spent most of his time reading in his carriage, and when he left Beijing, the palace summoned him again, and Liu Chengfeng still remembers what the emperor said to him when he was leaving.

I don't live up to me, and I don't live up to me.

Just one sentence has already shown Zhu Youzhang's mentality, Zhu Youzhang knows the risks of Liu Chengfeng's trip, and at the same time when he is sober, Liu Chengfeng's mission is important, this kind of thing, except for Liu Chengfeng, who is courageous, can adapt, and has abundant physical strength, there is not even the slightest chance, so Liu Chengfeng must take risks, so there is such a sentence.

Success, it is a miracle, and defeat, there is only one death.

Liu Chengfeng sat in the carriage, his mind was quite calm, he didn't think about the consequences of failure, but he was still calm.

At noon, the convoy stopped in front of an inn, on both sides of the road, there are many inns, especially when passing through the market, the inns are lined up, the carriage is leaning, naturally someone goes to the sharp, collects, and buys horse materials, and Liu Chengfeng and his party go directly to eat.

It's just that most of the inns on the street are relatively simple, Liu Chengfeng is nothing, Li Ruofan's face is obviously not very good, but when Liu Chengfeng got out of the car, he saw Li Ruofan whispering something with a guard, this guard was originally brought by Li Ruofan from the desert, and he was Li Ruofan's clansman, and later he was all imprisoned by Jinyiwei, and then Li Ruofan had to release them all.

Liu Chengfeng also agreed to Li Ruofan's request, but seeing this Li Ruofan's low command, Liu Chengfeng had a bad premonition in his heart, he walked over quickly, only to know that they were speaking Mongolian, as soon as the two saw Liu Chengfeng approaching, they immediately stopped talking, Liu Chengfeng smiled, and said: "Does the county lord have something to tell his subordinates to do?" In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, if there are any orders in the future, just let Gao Qiang them do it. ”

Li Ruofan smiled, did not show anything unusual, and said in a light tone: "This kind of thing is definitely not something that Gao Qiang can do." ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

Li Ruofan glanced at Liu Chengfeng coldly, his tone became a little unkind, and said, "What, is Liu Chengshi guarding against me?" ”

Liu Chengfeng sighed and said, "Since it is sincere cooperation, we should trust each other, so it is inevitable to say that it is serious." But then again, since it's cooperation, wouldn't it be good for everyone to be more honest with each other? ”

When Li Ruofan heard this, he sighed: "Since Liu Yan wants to know, then it doesn't hurt to tell him, I told my entourage to let him go out first." ”

A trace of vigilance flashed in Liu Chengfeng's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "What's wrong with going out together, why do you have to go in order?" ”

Li Ruofan said: "I need to contact in advance, my uncle is the leader of the Monan Kaha Department, this time out of the customs, it is very dangerous, I want to contact my uncle first, with his help, it will be much easier to gather my father's old department." Moreover, the situation in the desert is changing rapidly, and it is necessary to be aware of it in advance in order to be foolproof. ”

Liu Chengfeng had no expression on his face, but he did admit that what Li Ruofan said was not wrong, so he smiled and said, "Oh, then I'm suspicious, let's use the meal first, and then think about it in the long run." ”

Liu Chengfeng felt that he had been tricked, Li Ruofan wanted to order her to go out of the customs with others, she must have a guide to get out of the customs, it can be said that if there was no Liu Chengfeng nodding, this person would never be able to enter and exit the ban, which means that Li Ruofan must first find Liu Chengfeng and discuss before he can order this guard to obtain Liu Chengfeng's approval, and then go out of the customs first to contact the uncle.

But Li Ruofan deliberately pulled this person aside and ordered, without telling Liu Chengfeng in advance, but because he knew that Liu Chengfeng's nose was smarter than a dog, he was very wary of her, and he would naturally come to inquire obediently at that time, so that Liu Chengfeng's 'ugliness' would be exposed in front of her.

At least this made Li Ruofan gradually take some initiative from a passive position, of course Liu Chengfeng knew this, and he even saw the trace of contempt in Li Ruofan's eyes. However, his face was as usual, but he did not expose this, and went into the inn with Li Ruofan to eat.

Because Liu Chengfeng and Li Ruofan's identities are special, so the two of them had lunch together in a side room, Li Ruofan saw these greasy meals, and immediately didn't have much appetite, but Liu Chengfeng didn't shy away from it, used a bowl of rice, asked someone to serve another bowl, looked up at Li Ruofan who was playing with chopsticks, and said casually: "What?" Why doesn't the county lord eat it? ”

Li Ruofan brushed the messy hair on his forehead, and then said lightly: "I don't need it, I'll ask someone to buy some cakes to eat later." ”

Liu Chengfeng didn't have any pity for the jade, and continued to feast, whether he ate or not was not his business, and in his opinion, he couldn't starve to death if he ate less, but he couldn't imagine that there were such picky people in this world.

After the meal, a shopkeeper poured tea, Li Ruofan naturally didn't eat such greasy coarse tea, just supported his chin with his hand, watched Liu Chengfeng drink the tea, and suddenly said: "Liu Yan's business." ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "I don't know what the county lord has to say." As he spoke, he put down the empty teacup and looked at Li Ruofan.

This woman is so strange, she is so calm and calm at all times, is she really a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world?

Li Ruofan pursed his lips and said lightly: "I used to think that Liu Yishi was the same person as me, but now it seems that it is completely different. ”

Liu Chengfeng didn't make a sound, knowing that Li Ruofan still had something to say.

Li Ruofan sighed faintly, suddenly burst into tears, and said: "I am very tired, my father is dead, the responsibility of revenge is on me, in order to take revenge, I have to cooperate with the mortal enemies of my people, sometimes, I even want to hide, find a beautiful place, never listen, don't see, don't think about these things." ”

Li Ruofan suddenly revealed her feminine side, perhaps deep in her heart, she has not always been as hard as iron.

"But I can't, I have to get revenge, I ......"

Liu Chengfeng's face was not softened by Li Ruofan's softening, but he glanced at Li Ruofan strangely, and said coldly: "Is there a time when the county lord is not hard-hearted?" Put away your tears, your trick won't work on me anymore, we just cooperate, you take revenge on you, I will complete my mission, okay, I've eaten and drunk enough, the county lord will eat slowly, I'll wait for you outside. ”

Liu Chengfeng's performance can only be described as iron-hearted, and until now, he has never dared to believe this Li Ruofan, this person...... It's too fake.

As soon as Liu Chengfeng went out, Li Ruofan's pretty face with pear blossoms suddenly let out a sneer that was not easy to understand, and the soul-hooking eyes seemed to have been insulted to some extent, with a trace of shame, but soon, they returned to their normal color.
