Chapter 210: Da Liang Pass

In fact, when they said it, Su Fu had already noticed, and when Tie Zhu came over to say it, she thought about it and agreed.

After all, the innkeeper has had a friendship with the caravan for seven or eight years, and it will be inconvenient to offend him.

Moreover, Zhao Zhongyong's family is only five or six people at most, and they also drag their children and daughters, they definitely don't look like people with ulterior motives.

"Thank you Shaodong, Zhao will definitely not cause you trouble."

The man was overjoyed when he heard the news and hurriedly made a statement.

Because the caravan was going to depart before dawn the next day, the two sides agreed to meet at the city gate at the time.

Suzhou is different from the capital, the city gate is opened early, the sky is bright, and the blue-gray city tower is lit with stars.

The veterans, with tired faces, "babbled" and pushed open the heavy wooden door.

The caravan had checked the paperwork in advance, and as soon as it opened the door, it was the first to start leaving the city. Zhao Zhongyong's family of five drove the carriage and silently followed.

Su Fu glanced at it, and saw that it was a family of two with three children, and the eldest son was fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was riding a horse and following him.

The second daughter is about twelve or thirteen years old, which is the age of flowers and bones, and the women in the north develop early and look more mature than the people of the Central Plains.

He has a strong physique, a ruddy face, and a youthful vitality.

The youngest son is only a teenager, tiger-headed, very naughty, and sneaks out to play in front of the car from time to time.

Now that the situation at the border is tense, if it is not a last resort, who will drag their families to rush there.

After a short distance from Suzhou, I gradually entered the grassland, but it was different from what Su Fu imagined.

On the turquoise fields, the jade belt-like rivers twist and turn, and villages gather together, shaded by green trees, and smelled chickens and dogs.

It is very different from the scene of the sky and the wilderness, and the wind blows the grass and shows the cattle and sheep in her impression.

After asking curiously, I learned that the cattle and sheep here are all raised in captivity, and they usually go home to mow the grass and go to the river to graze in the morning and evening.

At noon, they camped in the roadside grove to rest, ate sesame cakes bought in Suzhou City, and cooked some soup with dried minced meat.

The youngest son of the Zhao family, taking advantage of his parents' inattention, sneaked to Su Fu and their side, watching curiously.

"What's your name?"

The child looked at her with a kind face, and was not afraid, so he blinked and replied: "My name is Tiedan, are you from the capital?" ”

"That's right."

Su Fu smiled and handed him a steamed bun with meat filling, Zhao Tiedan was not polite, thanked him, and took a big bite to eat.

"What does the capital look like? Is it as big as ten Suzhou cities? ”

For this innocent question, Su Fu did not laugh at him, but answered seriously.

"It's about the same, but if you connect to the outer city, it shouldn't be more than that."

Zhao Tiedan's eyes widened in surprise, and he sighed again and again, "Oh my God, such a big city, I really want to go and see it." ”

"When you grow up, you'll have a chance to go." Su Fu casually comforted.

"Have you been to Dragon City before?"

Tie Dan shook his head, "I've never been there, I've never been out of Suzhou City since I grew up so big." ”

"And what does your family do?"

This child is very talkative, not afraid of life, and basically answers all questions.

"My dad used to be a dartman, but unfortunately he was injured and worked in the warehouse."

Zhao Tiedan said regretfully, and then said to Su Fu with excitement on his face: "I will also be a dart master in the future, the kind that is very powerful." ”

Su Fu had long noticed that the eldest son of the Zhao family was carrying a knife behind him, and even their daughter was light on her feet, so she should have practiced. Jiujiu Chinese

No wonder Zhao Zhongyong boasted that he would never cause trouble to them when he encountered something.

As she was talking, the lady of the Zhao family had discovered her son's whereabouts, hurriedly ran over, took her son back, and apologized to Su Fu repeatedly.

Three days later, at dusk, they finally saw the famous Daliangguan, a military fortress with most of the residents being military dependents.

Hu Chengda, the general guarding the pass, is an old subordinate who has followed the eldest princess for many years, and he has already received the news that the prince is coming, and he is waiting at the gate of the city on horseback.

As soon as he saw Lin Yan, he jumped down and greeted him with a big smile.

"Haha, Childe, it's been two or three years since I last saw you."

He was very tall and burly, less than forty years old, he was in the prime of life, and ordinary people immediately became smaller in front of him.

Fortunately, Lin Yan was very tall, standing side by side with him, and his momentum was unexpectedly stable.

"Hu Langjiang still looks so energetic."

Lin Yan smiled and greeted him, it seemed that they had already met.

That night, Hu Chengda held a simple banquet to invite them, and Lin Yan took Su Fu and several subordinates to participate together.

For the rest of the people, Hu Chengda also arranged to send sumptuous wine and food.

Because Lin Yan made it clear in advance that he didn't want to make a big fuss, Hu Chengda only introduced a few henchmen to him.

During the banquet, Lin Yan talked and laughed, he had led troops in southern Xinjiang, and he knew how to get along with these rough generals.

This is the second largest fortress in the northwest, echoing with Dragon City, each other is horns, once the border fights, they can quickly horse support in the shortest possible time.

"Out of the Daliang Pass, it is the vast Gobi Desert, these days the border army can't take care of it, and some thieves inside have begun to be active again."

Regarding Lin Yan's inspection, Hu Chengda was quite worried.

"Tomorrow I will send a team of men and horses to escort you, I have already sent a letter over there, and General Feng will send someone to meet you here."

The most dangerous thing in the whole journey is this Gobi Desert, Lin Yan naturally will not shirk, and immediately thanked him.

"This is Kang Lu, who will be responsible for escorting you tomorrow."

Nakang Lulu was a lean man in his thirties, and immediately met Lin Yan.

Su Fu observed quietly beside him, but saw that his eyebrows were a little gloomy, as if something was on his mind.

Because they have to go tomorrow, they naturally can't be greedy, and a few people chatted for a while before saying goodbye one after another.

Only Lin Yan stayed and discussed the situation at the border with Hu Chengda, although he had secret guards to provide information along the way.

In the end, it is not as clear as Hu Chengda, who is at the border.

Su Fu also took her leave, and noticed that Kang Lu returned to the camp alone, and did not talk or laugh with the others.

It seems that this person is not popular in the army and is a little withdrawn.

It's just that since Hu Chengda asked him to escort him, he should be his confidant and can be trusted.

But with her own experience in seeing people, she always felt that this person was a little strange.

When he walked to the fast turn, he looked back, but found that Kang Lushu did not return to the camp, but walked through the door.

With a move in his heart, he gave Tie Zhu a look and asked him to send someone to follow him.

After an hour, the person in charge of tracking came back and reported to her the whereabouts of Kang Lulu.

It turned out that this person didn't go home, but he had a good friend in the town, and he was thinking about going out for a while, so he slipped over and fooled around with her.

Su Fu frowned slightly, to say that this kind of thing is common, many officers are in the garrison to keep an outer room or a good relationship.

But she still believes in her own sense of seeing people.

After thinking about it, he commanded in a low voice, "You go and check on his good looks, don't startle the snake." ”
