Chapter 113: Temptation

The post station is a place for officials who transmit military information to eat and lodge on the way and change horses.

When the convoy arrived, it was already the middle of the day, that is, around 8 o'clock in the evening.

In early winter, it can be said that it is very late.

The post station is not very large, but it occupies a very good location, and belongs to the widest and flattest part of the road.

As soon as the convoy arrived, five people rushed out.

The head of the fat army, named Pang Randa, is in charge of everything in the post station, and the remaining four people have their own responsibilities.

One person is in charge of logistics, two people go to patrol the road every once in a while, and the other is dedicated to delivering news.

In terms of positions in the army, Yang Qi was much higher than them, so as soon as they met, Pang Randa handed over the rights in his hands.

In a word, let it be told.

Yang Qi was also polite, after all, the matter of transporting materials was too important to allow any mistakes, so he made arrangements.

First, the carriages were grouped.

Every ten cars are gathered together, and the wheels, or handlebars, all face outwards to protect the supplies inside.

Secondly, the horses took turns to drink water, and when they came back they were tied to the wheels and fed the fodder with their heads in the direction of the supplies.

In this way, it can not only prevent the horses from escaping in fear in the event of an accident, but also play a role in care.

If someone wants to get close to supplies, they must first pass through the horseshoe.

Finally, all the coachmen were not allowed to leave, and all entered the circle formed by the carriage.

First, it's winter, and gathering together can keep you warm.

Second, in case of emergencies, they can also respond in time and strive for a greater chance of survival.

As for the escorted sergeants, they all entered the post station to rest, and when the time came, they could make patrols in groups of two.

Everything was arranged, and everyone was busy in an orderly manner.

In terms of time, it has been three days and two nights since I left Baihe County, although I have rested on the road, but more of it is supported by freshness. And now, when even the horses are tired, how much better can people be?

At least Chen Mo felt a dilemma.

"Meishu, how are you?"

Chen Mo has made a decision in his heart that he will keep a good distance from Huameishu in the future.

However, before this trip, he promised Hua Tiannan that he would take care of Hua Meishu, so he must grasp the other party's physical condition in order to respond in time.

"I'm fine, but I haven't taken a shower for a few days, and I'm not feeling well."

Hua Meishu's pretty face was a little tired.

The appearance of the wind and dust, the people who watched felt pity.

Chen Mo can help with other things, and the matter of taking a bath is really fine.

"Bear with me for a few more days, and you'll be fine when you get to the fortress. I inquired with Brother Yang, and there are all kinds of living facilities there. ”

"That's all it can be." Hua Meishu said, getting up to go to the backyard, "I'll go get some hot water and soak my feet." ”

"You wait for dinner, I'll go." Chen Mo just wanted to go to the back to have a look.

The backyard is very large, there is a special place to park and rest the horses, and the living facilities are relatively complete.

As the person in charge of the post station, Pang Randa naturally wanted to behave well at this time, plus so many people were waiting for a hot meal, so he led a few of his subordinates, all of whom were stuck in the kitchen, which can be said to be dedicated.

"Pang Juntou, excuse me."

"Hey, you can't stand calling me that, so call me Lao Pang."

The official position of the person in charge of the post station is not big, but it is a relatively comfortable errand, and being able to get it in his hands is enough to show Pang Randa's ability.

Especially in terms of dealing with the world, he is very sophisticated at a glance.

"Lao Pang, is there any hot water, soak your feet."

Chen Mo said as he looked around, not noticing anything abnormal.

If you have to say yes, maybe the person in the kitchen is one.

The cooking technique looks a little rusty.

This is not normal!

Generally speaking, people who have been stationed outside for a long time will be very proficient in various life skills.

Of course, on the other hand, this is actually normal.

After all, there is a division of labor in every team.

Pang Randa only thought that Chen Mo was fresh when he first came here, so he didn't care about his eyes sweeping around, and nodded vigorously.

"Shopkeeper Chen, wait a minute, I'll let people burn a pot."

Shouting inside, Pang Randa continued to ask.

"The conditions here are limited, and if there is anything you need to ask, I will try to meet it."

"Lao Pang, you are too polite, call me Chen Mo. The others don't dare to hope for extravagance, just want to eat a hot meal. ”

"It's easy to do, right away." Pang Randa urged inside again.

"Lao Pang, take a step to speak." Chen Mo motioned to the side.

"Shopkeeper Chen, what do you want to say?" Pang Randa asked.

"That's right, I'd like to inquire about the fortress." Chen Mo was blunt.

"W-isn't this okay?" Pang Randa said embarrassedly, "Although you have undertaken the errand of transporting supplies, you will be killed if you leak military information." ”

"Lao Pang, you misunderstood, I'm just asking if there's a hurry?" Chen Mo explained, "It's not a secret, we people, except for Captain Yang, who has experience in this area, all the others are big girls who go to the sedan chair once. ”

"If the situation at the fortress is urgent, then we will have to leave overnight after eating. Instead, stay here for one night. It's a shame to say that I haven't suffered this kind of rush since I was a child, so I can't help but be a little hypocritical. ”

"I see." After hearing this, Pang Randa waved his hand without hesitation, "There is a saying that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, so I personally recommend that you stay for one night and recuperate enough before you go." The main thing is that there is no post station further ahead, and it is better to rectify it again for one night. ”

"Okay, then listen to the old brother."

Chen Mo nodded and motioned to see if the water was good.

Returning to the front room with a basin of water, Chen Mo motioned for Huameishu to go to the inner room.

First, it is not appropriate for girls to wash their feet outside.

Second, he has something to tell Huameishu.

"You hide this thing closely, don't be soft when it's critical."

Chen Mo said and handed Bai Zhenbei's dagger over, although it was broken, it was also quite sharp.

"What's wrong, isn't it good?"

Hua Meishu took it without hesitation, and also pierced the window paper.

"Meishu, if I'm not mistaken, the five people led by Pang Randa have all been bought, and they will do it later."

Chen Mo deliberately accosted Pang Randa just now, just to be a temptation.

As a result, it is very unoptimistic.

The flaw lies in Pang Randa's retention.

It stands to reason that in his capacity, and in his errand, he should not have made any suggestions about the delivery of supplies.

Even if he mentions it, he should go to Yang Qi, instead of blowing the wind directly to Chen Mo.

Combined with the person who was not skilled in cooking, Chen Mo concluded that someone had buried a thunderbolt here.

And it's the kind that can blow everyone up!

Not surprisingly, inside the meal, they will also use their hands and feet.
