Zhang Zheng put the written letter into the envelope, folded the seal, and put it in his arms.

When the letter was written, I lost the idea of sending it.

"Forget it, deal with the matter here as soon as possible, and rush back for the New Year, it won't be long. I miss my mother, I miss the little green dress. ”

Zhang Zheng chuckled lightly, then shook his head and stood up.

Because he had already heard Li Chengqian's shout telling him to eat.

Zhang Zheng walked out of his big tent with his hands behind his back.

The sky, which had not been overcast since the beginning of summer, was cloudy at this time.

Unconsciously, the autumn wind is blowing, and it is the trend of the mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.

Although the rain came a long time late, it was very likely to affect Li Chengqian's plan to travel at night.

But Zhang Zheng is still in a good mood.

"It's a good day, it's just a pity that I didn't smell the fragrance of osmanthus this year."

Zhang Zheng looked up at the sky, and after a while, a slight drizzle passed across Zhang Zheng's face.

It was a modest autumn rain.

"Brother Zheng'er, what are you rubbing, eating."

Li Chengqian's urging voice came again, and Zhang Zheng quickened his pace.

The drizzle was slight, and the rain was not heavy.

But whether it is Zhang Zheng, Li Chengqian, or a group of soldiers who are guarded by the prince.

I haven't seen rain in almost three months.

Therefore, after eating, the soldiers gathered together in twos and threes and began to walk in the rain.

Enjoy the sweetness of this evening.

It was also because of the rain that Li Chengqian ordered to wait until the rain stopped before pulling out.

However, God always likes to joke, when all the soldiers go out into the rain.

The rain stopped, and the sun came out.

provoked a group of soldiers to secretly scold and disappoint.

"All the troops are out!"

With Li Chengqian's order, the soldiers who had already packed up and finished once again embarked on the road to the north.

Because it didn't start until noon today, it was in the afternoon, and the group didn't go far.

Seeing that the sun was about to go down again, Li Chengqian once again ordered to set up camp.

After the soldiers set up the camp in an orderly and clear division of labor.

Li Chengqian summoned Zhang Zheng, as often as he said, and Duan Heng, his personal guard.

After a period of conspiracy in the big tent of the Chinese army, everyone returned to their tents and began to catch up on sleep.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Zheng put on his armor under the service of another guard.

Originally, Chen Yu and Liu San had always been responsible for this matter.

However, Chen Yu and Liu San, two capable generals, were secretly sent to Jinyang by Zhang Zheng to investigate the situation as early as ten years ago.

Because of this, he was taken over by another guard who came from the Guogong Mansion.

The guard's name is Da Mao, which is different from Liu San, who is full of murderous aura wherever he stands.

is also different from Chen Yu, a sunny young man who seems to be upright but actually has a black belly.

This guard named Da Mao belongs to the kind of person who is thrown into the crowd and can no longer be seen.

In his forties, he looks like an honest and honest farmer.

But people are ordinary, but the style is not ordinary.

It is not like an ordinary soldier with a knife and a halberd, but with a plum blossom in his hand.

Everyone calls him Da Mao, so Zhang Zheng also calls him Da Mao.

But Zhang Zheng knew that he actually had a big name, and it seemed that his name was Fang Mu.

It's a good name, and it sounds quite cultured.

"Shaolangjun, the brothers have already dispersed first, just waiting for you and His Royal Highness the Prince."

Fang Mu buckled the last buckle on his armor for Zhang Zheng and said to Zhang Zheng.

"Let's go, let's go."

Zhang Zheng carried the horizontal knife that his father used to smash his head on his waist.

Without saying a word, he got up and strode out of the tent.

Li Chengqian and Chang Yan also put on the armor of ordinary soldiers.

Eight horses and four men broke away from the large group in the night, ran the path next to the official road, and galloped forward.

The four of them rode their horses for more than 20 miles and found a faint fire in a dense forest.

It was the prince's personal guard who served as a scout.

A hundred cavalry soldiers in full armor lined up in the forest, but without making a sound, quietly waiting for the arrival of the four.

"The whole army set off, and the stars and nights are on the way."

Li Chengqian shouted in a small voice.

"Whoa!"

The soldiers praised each other, and then drove their horses to protect Li Chengqian and Zhang Zheng in the center.

Extinguish the torches and take advantage of the moonlight to run north.

……

The stars in the sky turn, and the curtain on earth hangs.

When only the morning star twinkles in the sky.

A team of 100 people, who had been rushing out for nearly 100 miles, finally heard the sound of the whole army repairing from Li Chengqian.

Even if it is one person and two horses, a group of soldiers still meticulously take care of the war horse first, smooth the hair of the war horse, and feed the bean feed.

Then he took out the new military ration invented by Zhang Zheng, and sent the powder with a good taste into his stomach with the water in the water bladder.

Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian are no exception, since they are soldiers and nobles, it is naturally inconvenient for the chef of the Guogong Mansion to follow.

Not to mention the size of the two chefs, it is rare to find a war horse that can carry them on a gallop, not to mention a bunch of bottles and cans.

Zhang Zheng took a bag sewn from cowhide from his horse.

Then he took off the helmet from his head, poured out some of the same new military rations as the soldiers from the cowhide pocket, and put them into the helmet.

Pour in a little more water, mix it with your hands, knead it into a dough and send it to your mouth.

Li Chengqian and Chang Yan learned and learned, and they also learned from Zhang Zheng and began to eat.

Only Zhang Zheng's new personal guard leader, Da Mao, has the most rugged eating appearance.

As if drinking water, he poured the powder-like military rations from the cowhide bag into his mouth, and then swallowed them into his stomach, and he was not afraid of choking to death.

The group took a brief rest, and then began to hurry again.

Along the way, eating and drinking are basically settled on horseback.

Even if you rest, it won't last more than an hour.

On the morning of the third day, Li Chengqian, Zhang Zheng and their entourage finally saw the boundary monument in Pingyao County.

The soldiers who ran wildly for two days and three nights showed fatigue on their faces.

The Tang Dynasty soldiers with superb riding skills are still like this, not to mention Li Chengqian and Zhang Zheng, who have been pampered since childhood.

His eyes were already heavily dark, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips and face were blown apart by the autumn wind.

If it weren't all supported by a belief in my heart, I would have given up a long time ago.

"There is a river ahead, and the whole army rests for an hour, and a group of ten people takes turns to guard it."

After Li Chengqian said this, his body was crooked when the war horse galloped to the edge of the river.

He collapsed to the ground, without the image of a prince at all.

Then he climbed to the edge of the stream, buried his whole face in the stream, and drank the cold water in a big gulp.

Zhang Zheng is not much better than Li Chengqian, and Zhang Zheng can't control the ban on not drinking raw water at this time.

Like Li Chengqian, he buried his whole head in the stream, and suddenly felt that his whole brain was much clearer.

For two days and three nights, he traveled nearly 800 miles.

At the moment when he saw the boundary monument in Pingyao County, Zhang Zheng almost couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes.
