Chapter 219: Escorting Grain and Grass
When she returned to the yard where she lived temporarily, the heat on her face dissipated a little.
patted his cheeks, trying his best to suppress the dryness in his heart, Shi Jin's eyes became a little more serious.
The second master did not return for many days, but he was sent to Durle.
Once the grain, grass and ordnance are transported into Qiangrong, it is equivalent to the enemy. If the second master secretly obstructs this matter, will he encounter danger?
Thinking like this, her heart suddenly became tormented.
Thinking that the second master left Shimo by his side, he only left Zichuan with him, and the uneasiness in his heart spread in circles.
After staying in place and coiling around a few more times, Shi Jin finally raised his voice to call for double happiness, "Double happiness, go and call Shi Mo over." ”
Shuangxi heard Shi Jin's advice to her, hurriedly put down the embroidery work in his hand, and ran to the front yard to find the ink.
When he brought Shi Mo over, Shi Jin's expression on his face became a little colder.
Xu has been with the second master for a long time, but he doesn't even feel a little majestic on Shi Jin's face.
Especially when she is not smiling, her face is cold, as if she has a lot of things on her mind.
Shi Mo originally took advantage of the cold weather to drink with the people of Kefu to keep out the cold, but when he didn't think about it, Shi Jin hurriedly called him, and he couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart.
After sending Shuangxi out and confirming that no one was present, Shi Jin lowered his voice and explained to Shi Mo, "I am talking to Ke Susu today, and I heard that at this time in the past, Luo Cheng sent people to Durle to transport ordnance, grain and grass. The second master hasn't returned for a long time, and I'm afraid he will be sent away. ”
Shi Mo's expression was solemn, and his face also showed some seriousness, "Are these words serious?" ”
"It should be taken seriously." Shi Jin's brows frowned again, "There is only one Zichuan by the master's side, and I am really uneasy in my heart." You have always been close to your grandfather, why don't you go and explore the truth. If the second master is really in trouble, it is better than fighting alone. ”
Shi Mo was quite moved, but thinking of the second master's entrustment before leaving, he was a little hesitant.
Shi Jin saw that his expression loosened slightly, and pushed him again, "You just go to find the second master, I stay in Kefu with peace of mind, and there will be no accidents." ”
She said this truthfully to Shi Mo's heart. He finally nodded, and asked Shi Jinwan to be careful, and then left with twelve dignified points......
.
The wind and snow are getting worse, and all traces are hidden.
The farther north he went, the more doubts Qi Mojing had in his heart.
Looking at the convoy that was walking in a winding way, he turned his head and asked Zichuan, "Is the Qiangrong territory in front?" ”
Zichuan has always been dissatisfied with Qi Mojing, and only glanced at him obliquely now, "Yes, that's the tribe where Nadal's royal court is located." ”
"Which royal court are you from?" Qi Mojing didn't care about the disrespect in his words, and only used the sparse trees to cast his eyes on the snowy grassland in the distance.
"Tamu Tso."
"Tamu Tso?" Qi Mojing's eyes showed some deep thought.
This name was once famous in the Qiangrong grassland. Unfortunately, the riot eight years ago caused Damu to lose his vitality and was finally driven to the depths of the grassland by the royal court of Durle.
"Why did you become a slave?" Qi Mojing rarely had the interest to care about a slave's past.
"He was captured by the magnates of Durle and sold to Luo Cheng along with other Damco people." When Zichuan said these words, it seemed that he was talking about other people's experiences, but there was a faint sadness and anger in his eyes, "My sister was treated as a plaything by the magnates of Durle and stayed in the grassland. ”
"That's pathetic." Qi Mojing sighed.
He used the word "pitiful", Zichuan's heart seemed to be stabbed, and he looked at Qi Mojing's gaze with some cruelty, "The people of Damu Co don't need fake pity. ”
"That's a pity, because I don't even bother to give mercy." Qi Mojing's voice was faint, as if what Zichuan said was not half touched by himself.
Zichuan's eyes were a little disdainful, "I really don't know why Madame likes a cold-blooded person like you." ”
"If you don't like you, do you like a good-for-nothing slave like you?" Qi Mojing raised his eyebrows slightly, and stabbed him in the heart again.
When it comes to tribal grievances, Zichuan can remain quiet. But Qi Mojing's words made him grit his teeth very much.
Turning his head to ignore Qi Mojing's provocation, Zichuan returned to the traffic and advanced with the soldiers escorting grain and grass.
The creaking snow is knee-deep, and every step is difficult.
Qi Mojing turned over and got on his horse, catching up with Yan Yong along the route of grain and grass, and the two brothers secretly handed over a wine gourd, "How long will it take to arrive?" I haven't returned for a few days, and my wife is afraid that she will be in a hurry. ”
Yan Yong respectfully called Qi Mojing a master, but he was stuffed with a wine gourd by the master, and the emotion in his heart was earth-shattering.
He couldn't help but squeeze the wine gourd tightly, and approached Qi Mojing and was about to speak, but Zhang Dameng, who came back from the inspection, snorted coldly, "Yan Yong! What to do! ”
Yan Yong hurriedly separated from Qi Mojing and drove his horse to his brother-in-law, "Qi Yong is always afraid that we will freeze, so he specially sent half a gourd of soju." ”
"You can't drink alcohol on the march." Zhang Dameng scolded with a cold face, and Yan Yong couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Qi Mojing had to smile and say, "It's a medicinal wine made by subordinates, and my subordinates have a lot of bruises and bruises in the army, so use some of them to invigorate blood and dispel stasis." ”
Zhang Dameng stopped talking, and let the two of them perform their duties and move forward with the carriage and horse.
Yan Yong had no choice but to give Qi Mojing a helpless look and continued to drive the horse forward.
After reaching the boundary of Nadal's royal court, Zhang Dameng's eyes relaxed a little.
In winter, Qiang Rong is like a hungry wolf, and when they transport grain, grass and ordnance, it is like hanging meat from the mouth of a hungry wolf.
Only these meats were given to Durle, so naturally they had to avoid the sight of the other seven royal courts.
As the sun rises over the horizon, the snow-covered grasslands usher in a dawn of light.
It was in this morning light that an abrupt eagle roar sounded from the sky above the grassland, and several Haidongqing circled their wings and swooped down from top to bottom.
Zhang Dameng's eyes suddenly showed some horror, and a "resisting the enemy" suddenly resounded throughout the entire grain and grass team.
Qi Mojing rode on a horse, standing in place with a spear in his hand, looking at the people and horses coming out of the snow from a distance.
They seemed to have predicted the direction of the grain and grass team, and lay in the snow and waited for the day, just for this momentary raid.
"Which royal court is ahead? How dare you intercept the chariot and horse of a king with a different surname?! I'm afraid I'm going to die! Zhang Dameng roared angrily, and a spear flew two men wearing Qiang Rong costumes in an instant.
Qi Mojing galloped under his crotch, and with a quick order, he surrounded his soldiers in a circle and gathered the supplies together.
Each soldier removed his spear and shield from his horse, and in an instant he formed an impregnable barrier. Where the shield overlaps is the spear.
The spear shaft can be long or short, and the length can be changed with Qi Mojing's order, and it can be long and short, and it can be used in one place, and it can be divided and attacked. At this moment, Qi Mojing is their eyes, and they are the guards who follow their orders.
This tacit understanding seems to have been practiced countless times, trusting and cooperating with each other, and complementing each other to form a whole.
Slowly, those Qiang Rong people found that the team on Qi Mojing's side was like a difficult bone to gnaw, and gradually retreated to Yan Yong's side.
Although Yan Yong was better than ordinary people, he was not victorious in all battles, and gradually realized that he was struggling and began to shout for Zhang Dameng to help.
Listening to the cowardly Yan Yong's shout, Zhang Dameng was so upset that he picked up a sharp arrow, and heard Yan Yong's howl like killing a pig.
In the end, he cared about his brother-in-law, he didn't entangle with the people behind him, he saw the gap, and turned the horse away in an instant.
