After arranging these, Zhu Bai set off again.

The commander of the Gongchang Guard Station escorted them for fifty miles before turning back, and reluctantly asked, "When will Your Highness come again?" ”

Zhang Yu couldn't laugh or cry.

Also, the guards in the northwest of Xi'an are poorer than the other, and each is more miserable than the other.

In addition to being divided into Beijing and outside, the guards of the Ming Dynasty were divided into Tuntian guards, mausoleum guards, pro-military guards and so on according to their functions.

It is also broadly divided into three categories according to whether it is solid or not.

Siltu Guard. All the Liaodong Prefecture and Shaanxi Xingdu Divisions have only the Wei Institute and no prefectures and counties, and the Wei Institute has taken over the role of the state and county, and the Wei Institute military generals have been on the horse to manage the army and the people on the horse.

The quasi-real earth guard station is nominally in the territory of Fuzhou County, but it also occupies a large area of land and population, and competes with the chief executive of Fuzhou County.

Solid soil and quasi-solid earth guards are mostly distributed in border areas or ethnic minority settlements.

The land governed by the non-real earth guard is Fuzhou County, and Fuzhou County has an absolute advantage in land and population. This kind of guard is only in charge of the army, not the people. It is mainly distributed in the mainland, Yingtian and some coastal and border guards.

The Gongchang Guard is a solid earth guard, nominally owning a large area of land, but it is either an uninhabited desert or a deep mountain full of wild beasts.

If you don't hear a good word, let alone collect taxes from the people, you may also have to help the local people.

It is estimated that there will not be one like Zhu Bai who delivers food and materials to the door in ten years.

Therefore, it is understandable that the commander of Gongchang Guard is so reluctant to Zhu Bai.

The further northwest you go, the more difficult it becomes, the road is slippery and dangerous, and the colder it gets.

Originally, the speed of riding horses slowed down, not to mention pulling more than a dozen truckloads of goods.

The speed went from a few hundred miles a day to a hundred.

But fortunately, it is only 400 miles from here to Hezhou.

If it weren't for the goods, he wouldn't even want to bring fifty people.

Now a car of three people is escorted, Zhu Bai leads Fugui and ten people to open the road in front, and Zhang Yu takes ten broken backs.

Just enough people.

The pro-army captains secretly complained bitterly.

I thought that following Zhu Bai would just be enough to watch him and not let him run around and not take risks.

After doing it for a long time, Zhu Bai wanted them to be cattle and horses.

The road gets steeper and steeper.

Zhu Bai saw that the mountains on both sides of the front were towering, and there was only a narrow road between the valleys.

Tsk, what a great place to rob and ambush.

He immediately stopped and looked around.

He has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, and everyone was surprised that he would suddenly not leave.

Zhu Bai stood there and took a closer look.

The middle road is too narrow and there is no place to hide.

If you want to lay an ambush, you can either wait for them to enter the valley, block them at both ends, close the door and beat the dogs; Or just condescending.

There is no one to follow them all the way, and it is impossible to block them at both ends.

So it can only be in high places.

In a high place, you should also choose one that is easy to attack and can run down quickly.

Otherwise, before the bandits could run down, they would have already run out of the valley.

This valley, on the left is a cliff, and you can't go down or up.

Then you can only hide on the right.

And the shrubs on the right are dense, and it is really good for Tibetans.

Coincidentally, he saw a few dots moving rapidly at the top of the trees on the cliff on the right.

Wild golden snub-nosed monkey ......

This place belongs to Gansu, and these golden snub-nosed monkeys should belong to the Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys.

The best thing for him, a veterinarian, is to be able to see all kinds of animals in the wild that were easily invisible in the past.

He excitedly took out his binoculars and stared at the small black dots.

The snub-nosed monkeys had apparently seen them as well, but they were far away, so they ignored them at all.

The monkeys stopped on a tall wild peach to pick flowers and eat.

The wild peach tree is full of flowers and is a rare food in this early spring season.

One of them suddenly screamed, and the group of golden monkeys ran into the mountain together.

If not frightened, the golden monkey will not leave its precious food and run away.

That is, there are people hidden under the fruit tree.

Zhu Bai took out the binoculars and looked at it. Behind the bushes, a human head looms.

Hehe, thanks to those golden monkeys, otherwise he would not be able to position.

Although they knew that there was an ambush, they pulled the cart and could not go around the wooded cliffs.

Fugui asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”

Zhu Bai didn't answer but asked, "How far is it from Lintaowei?" ”

Fugui said, "More than eighty miles." ”

Zhu Bai: "Stop and rest. Choose four or five guards who are nimble and have accurate marksmanship, and bring them to the king with their muskets. ”

Zhang Yu said: "Where is Your Highness going, let this official follow." ”

Zhu Bai said: "Lord Zhang wants to guard the goods for this king. This king and rich are small and easy to sneak attack. When you hear the king blow the brass whistle, one long and one short, go forward. This king will come after you. ”

Zhu Bai has always had a great idea, and he didn't miss it.

Although Zhang Yu disagreed, he could only say: "Your Highness, be careful." ”

Zhu Bai said: "If this king is in danger, he will blow three long sounds." You are only allowed to divide ten men to save the king. In addition, no matter what happens, do not move, lest you fall for someone else's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. ”

Zhu Bai told all the people who followed him to put their guns on gunpowder, and then took Fugui down the mountain road on the right.

They lowered their bodies and moved forward silently.

Fugui, they don't know where Zhu Bai is going.

Zhu Bai stopped near the wild peach tree and gestured to Fugui and them to prepare to attack.

Unaware that someone had touched behind them, they were all staring at the road below.

Zhu Bai pulled out his handcuff, aimed at the tallest one in the middle, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang, and the man fell backwards.

They also shot one after another. The group fell four or five at once.

Zhu Bai reloads and shoots again.

The group finally woke up from their stupor, and ran down the mountain road in a puff of smoke.

Zhu Bai and the others only fired two shots, and the men had already fled into the woods, unable to shoot any more.

There were people on the ground.

It's really a poor mountain and a bad water.

The poorer and more remote the place, the more people will do evil.

Zhu Bai reloaded, took out a whistle and blew it, one long and one short to prompt Zhang Yu that they could go, and then slowly walked forward with a handcuff.

Fugui asked, "Your Highness, don't we have to go back the way we came?" ”

Zhu Bai said: "They are ambushed here, there must be a shortcut here to go to the bottom of the valley." We stand on guard from a high place to prevent others from sneaking up again. ”

Then they walked a little way, and sure enough, they saw a road going down.

Those people stopped to see if there was any other opportunity as they ran, but they didn't expect Zhu Bai to follow, and they didn't dare to stay anymore, like birds and beasts.

Below, Zhang Yu and the others had already quickly gone out along the valley floor.

Zhu Bai was just about to leave when he smelled a fishy smell in the wind.

How to put it, it's like going to the zoo to see the tiger through the cage smell.
