Chapter 008: Operation Snow Day

Winter weather in December,

In the place of the Northeast,

Frozen.

A group of officers and soldiers came on horseback,

In front of a group of officers and soldiers riding tall horses,

In the middle are three carriages,

The carriage was covered with canvas,

There was also a group of officers and soldiers behind the carriage,

This team of officers and soldiers is the officers and soldiers who escort the official silver,

The one in front of you is the pipe belt Yu Jiang,

It's just that it's snowing when they go,

The road is really not easy to walk,

But in order to hurry to Ximen Mansion,

It's snowing all over the sky,

And they're going to keep going.

Yu Jiang rode a horse in front and said,

Let's go, everybody.

None of his men dared to speak.

I had to follow him forward,

There is only Steward Xia here,

Riding a white horse following Captain Yu,

He's the oldest here,

An old man who is almost sixty years old,

In the winter, I still ran with them all the way,

Steward Xia was unhappy,

Steward Xia rode over on a white horse.

He said to Jiang,

Captain Yu, if you succeed in coming back this time,

When you come back, the prefect will definitely reuse you.

Captain Yu immediately replied happily,

Thank you Mr. Xia for your kind words.

Yu Jiang said to his soldiers,

Soldiers, now we are going to enforce strict discipline,

Act during the day, stay at night,

Even if it snows heavily, you have to act,

But this goes back to the inn,

We rested early,

Wait until tomorrow to leave.

His soldiers were overjoyed,

On such a cold day, they don't like to act,

But the task is tight and the time is urgent.

They can't do it if they don't rush every day.

Otherwise, when will we be able to get to Simon Mansion?

Just two officers riding horses behind,

They were not convinced in the back.

An official said,

It seems that he was promoted and made a fortune,

We ran after him in the winter,

The credit is all his own,

It's really stinky.

These two officials had bad intentions,

They act immediately,

They rode horses and caught up with Steward Xia.

An official messenger said to Steward Xia,

Steward Xia, we're working so hard now,

It's snowing heavily,

was supposed to have a day off in the shop,

Wait for the snow to stop before we go,

But this Captain Yu is in a hurry,

It's really hard to walk on this snowy day,

When will I be able to get to the next hotel?

You can't listen to him in the future,

You don't have to rush on a snowy day,

We'll go again on a sunny day,

We are officials, we have the final say,

Now it's good to pour,

It's all up to him and Captain Yu alone.

Steward Xia disagreed with them,

Steward Xia replied angrily,

Captain Yu is in charge of it very right,

He was in a hurry to send the official money to Simon's mansion,

He's in a hurry, and that's right,

Although it was snowing heavily,

But it's also daytime,

Hurry during the day, stay at the hotel at night,

Here's our rule,

We have to go according to the rules,

This is not wrong for the captain,

It's a little uncomfortable to rush on a snowy day,

But I fully support the captain's approach,

Now we must hurry to Ximen Mansion,

Accomplished the task, but our wishes.

When he had finished speaking, he rode to the front,

Two officials walked behind on horses,

They saw that Steward Xia did not listen to them,

The two of them were talking to each other in the back,

I don't know what to say,

Anyway, I'm not satisfied,

You shouldn't be in a hurry on a snowy day,

Should stay in the shophouse for a day,

Wait for the weather to clear before leaving,

But Captain Yu was very anxious,

I'm still in a hurry on a snowy day,

This is something they are very unhappy with.

But if you're not satisfied, you can't help it.

After all, it's Captain Yu who has the final say here.

They told Steward Xia,

But Steward Xia turned to Captain Yu,

They can only whisper in the back.

At this time behind the woods,

There was a man looking at them through a telescope,

This person is the scout spy Gu Lao Ghost,

He used a monocular,

Look this way,

Gu Lao Ghost is well-informed,

He followed all the way,

and send out the information,

Walked into the afternoon,

Finally saw a shophouse,

They immediately moved into the shop.

A fire broke out in the shop,

Immediately warmed up,

Settle the wagon,

Everyone eats and drinks,

At night they stayed in the shop.

There was a stove and a big charcoal brazier in the shophouse.

That's when they feel warm,

But the warm days only passed one night,

The next day, at dawn,

They ate breakfast,

Ready to go on the road again,

These officers and soldiers are very reluctant,

Because it's too cold outside,

It's too warm in the shop,

So one by one they don't like to act.

It's just that Captain Yu insisted on saying,

Soldiers, we must have strict discipline,

It is stipulated that you will travel during the day and stay at the hotel at night.

We have to execute.

Although these soldiers are unwilling,

But the command of the ruler to act,

They can't do it if they don't want to.

One soldier also said,

Captain Yu,

Yesterday it snowed heavily overnight,

The snow outside in the morning is so thick,

It was very inconvenient for us to move in the snow,

It's better to take a day off,

Let's do it tomorrow.

Several other soldiers grinned in the cold,

A big fat soldier said,

That's it, this snowy day,

The shop is so warm,

It's never too late for us to rest for a day.

As soon as this fat soldier spoke,

The other soldiers agreed,

One by one, they also coaxed.

The fat soldier said,

That's it, it's a cold day,

Let's rest for one day and go the next day.

What if you freeze us to death?

These soldiers are all so noisy,

Captain Yu said angrily,

You lazy guys,

If time is lost,

Can't catch up with the hotel,

There is no store in front of the village, we are frozen in the snow,

Wouldn't it be more bitter then?

Then one of the soldiers replied,

Report to the captain, there is a hotel dozens of miles ahead,

Dozens of miles away, we arrived in a few hours,

It's okay to rest for half a day now.

All the soldiers cried out,

All asked for a morning break,

Rush in the afternoon,

Yu Jiang has no choice,

He also knows that it is not good to travel on snowy days in winter.

It's too cold outside,

But if you don't send this official money to its destination,

His worries won't stop,

But he couldn't resist these soldiers.

So he answered,

Well, since everyone is afraid of the cold,

In the morning we rest a little longer,

After lunch, we will definitely hit the road.

When the soldiers heard this, they could rest all morning,

And immediately they rejoiced,

It's so cold outside, they don't want to go out,

It can be delayed for a while,

And they immediately went back to rest under the covers.

By noon they had eaten,

And then they went on their way again,

It's still cold in the middle of winter,

But at noon the sun is full,

They walk towards the sun,

Keep moving forward,

This time the soldiers didn't dare to say more,

After all, you have to rush on this snowy day,

Rush to the next inn before evening,

They'll be safe,

Otherwise, there will be no store in front of Buba Village,

In the snow they must freeze to death,

The two officials followed behind Mr. Xia,

Walk forward together,

Captain Yu was anxious,

He rode ahead on horseback,

But he looked at the horse team behind him,

And the carts,

He slowed down again,

If he rides a horse himself,

He can run to the end of this road in three days,

But there's also a convoy,

He didn't expect to be there for a week.

He rode his horse ahead for a while,

But the convoy followed slowly,

He had to turn his horse's head around and come back.

He shouted to his soldiers,

Soldiers, hurry up,

Immediately go to the hotel in front.

The soldiers behind drove the wagon,

I can't speak if my heart is not happy,

They drove the wagons and knew that the road was not easy to walk,

But Captain Yu shouted in front,

He rode a horse,

didn't care,

At the urging of the captain, these officers and soldiers

Finally arrived at an inn before the evening.

Captain Yu immediately ordered,

Hurry up and put the wagon into the stable,

Unload the box into the shop,

It must be under our noses,

Can't leave our sight.

Under the captain's order,

The soldiers moved immediately,

And he put the chest of silver at the head of the bed,

They stared wide-eyed,

So they feel safe,

Captain Yu looked at the box and felt safe.

Captain Yu said to them,

You must not drink wine when you eat.

Drinking must be wrong,

This is what I ask of you,

It is also a command that must be executed.

Captain Yu gave the strictest orders to his soldiers,

Just don't let them drink,

But the two officials and the Xia steward are more special,

After all, they are also officials,

The rank is as big as the captain,

Even bigger than the captain's rank,

Because Captain Yu was slammed to the end,

became a big-headed soldier,

Later, the prefect saw that he was a talent,

And when human resources are needed,

only to promote him,

If this action can be successful,

He will be reinstated,

So now he's still a big soldier,

Only after this success can the official be reinstated,

But now Captain Yu is shouting,

Don't treat these overseers as officials,

So the two officials were very dissatisfied,

often said bad things about him to Steward Xia in the back,

This time they want Steward Xia to drink again,

Captain Yu didn't let it,

I don't know how their contradictions will be resolved?

See below.
