Chapter 6: Confinement

Jin and the postman got out of the car. Zheng Anping endured the back pain, got out of the car as casually as possible, and moved closer to Jin Contempt.

When the three cars of people gathered, Jin Wei said: "The front has reached the boundary river in the prison. You work in pairs, look up and down, see where the bridge is, and when you find it, give three high-fives. ”

Zheng Anping seemed to hear the pardon: he could finally come down and take two steps. He and the other post guards bowed their hands together and said, "Order!" And he and his companions went upstream.

Before he could warm his body, a stone bridge appeared in front of him. Zheng Anping crossed the bridge and tested that there was no problem with the stone bridge, and his companion high-fived and signaled to the others that the bridge had been found.

After a while, the three carriages and horses arrived and passed the stone bridge in turn.

After getting into the car, Jin Wei climbed into the chariot, looked forward for a while, pointed in a direction, and the chariot continued to move forward, while the other two chariots still followed the wings.

After driving forward for a while, by the moonlight, Zheng Anping could already faintly see the black city in front of him, and there seemed to be a few points of light on the city.

"This should be Midtown."

The so-called confinement is actually the hunting ground of the King of Wei, which refers to a large area of desolate wilderness far away from Daliang. Ten years ago, the Qin army invaded the prison and swept away the prey inside. In order to strengthen the defense of the central government, the king of Wei built a city here. Based on this city, the county seat of Zhongmu was formed in later generations.

"It's almost there." Zheng Anping thought to himself. He was already a little sleepy. From the time he received the post in the early morning to the present, he has been running almost on the road, only eating a few bites of food in a hurry at home and chatting with the old man for a few days.

Thinking of the old man, Zheng Anping's heart tightened again. He didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse to hide such an old man in his home.

Then he thought of the people's army in Donghongli, and they should seem to be coming in this direction. "They don't think they're going to march at night! Where have they gone? Arrived at the station? ”

Thinking for a while, taking a nap for a while, Midtown is already in sight.

The sentinels in the city had apparently spotted them, and the guards had already arrived and waited.

"Who are you?" The doorman asked.

"King Wei's Golden Festival is here!" Jin Contempt took the copper knot out of his arms.

The doorman replied: "Since it is the Golden Festival of King Wei, the villain does not dare to take it." Please allow the villain to be confined and go out of the city to greet you! ”

Jin said disdainfully: "There is Brother Lao!" ”

After a while, the doorman came back and shouted to Jin Cong at the head of the city: "Hold on to the driver, please get out of the car!" ”

Jin De got out of the car by himself and took about fifty steps back. The gates opened, and a group of officers, large and small, came out. The leader is a man dressed as a scholar, short in stature; The one next to him was tall and tall. Jin contempt saw that someone was out of the city, so he greeted him. The tall man walked a few steps to block the front, stopped Jin Shi and said, "Dare to ask for the Golden Festival!" ”

Jin Contempt handed over the copper knot, the tall one took it, turned around and handed it to the short one. The short one took it and looked at it carefully, took two steps closely, and said, "I don't want to see the general, how fortunate I am!" ”

Jin returned the salute and said, "How dare you! Ordered by the king to be restrained and guarded, how fortunate the boy is! ”

The guard bowed his hand to the city gate to invite Jin Contempt into the city, and said to the tall man: "Please rest in the soldier's hall." ”

The tall man walked in front of the center car, and said to the people in the three cars: "Please come with me!" ”

The post officer looked ignorant, and the driver said, "Childe, please get in the car!" ”

The tall one immediately bowed his hand to the driver: "Don't dare, I'm fierce." ”

The driver still held the whip in one hand and the reins in the other, and only replied with his mouth: "Gongzi Wei Xinling Jun is under the door." ”

The lieutenant got into the car, showed the way, and the driver drove around to the south of the city, and the other two cars followed suit. Outside the south gate, there is a pavilion enclosed by an earthen wall. The lieutenant called to open the door, and an old post man came out to greet him. The lieutenant said: "The military situation is urgent, the young and strong have entered the city, there are only old soldiers here, but it is not thoughtful!" ”

It was the driver named Qi who replied: "Captain has worked hard, I will wait for my own placement!" He turned back to the post man Ma San and said, "You take your own people to clean up the three houses and settle them, and the three of us feed the horses in the backyard." ”

Ma San seemed to have just come to his senses at this time, got out of the car, beckoned Zheng Anping and the four post guards to get out of the car together, and followed the old pawn to the side courtyard to open the three guest rooms; He also went to the kitchen with the old man to receive food, fruits and vegetables, and prepared to make his own fire to cook. This is all what the post guards are familiar with on weekdays, so they are ready to catch it - but they do it for others on weekdays, and now they do it for themselves.

Seeing that everything was going well here, the lieutenant called for resettlement and left by himself. All day long, Zheng Anping seemed to have just returned to his original self at this time, sitting on the ground with his butt regardless of decency, allowing his two rough legs to be exposed. The other post guards also let out an "oops", collapsed on the ground, and fell down.

Ma San still whispered as if in a dream: "I saw Xinlingjun ......, ...... behind him, ...... by car, lived in a post house ......, received a post meal...... my mother will know!" Everyone seemed to understand when they heard it, but they didn't want to ask more, so they just lay down and relaxed the soreness all over their bodies. Not long after, someone snored loudly.

Despite receiving the rice, it seems that no one plans to eat, but chooses to sleep. The room was quiet. Zheng Anping also closed his eyes, but he did not fall asleep. He heard the three riders also return to the room, but it was quiet, and there must not be such an undignified scene. "Probably this is the so-called gentleman's style!" Zheng Anping smiled bitterly in his heart.

But in an instant, his heart was pinched: the faint sound of carriages and horses sounded in his ears. "Such a large convoy? Is it Xinling-kun who is coming? ”

Listening carefully, the sound of the convoy seemed to have stopped again; Ah no, just a few cars. Zheng Anping was confused by what he heard. "What's going on! Jump the track! He laughed at himself.

The cars seemed to be heading in this direction,...... Stop at the edge of the city,...... It's in town......

Zheng Anping felt a little tired, and fell asleep with a sinking head.

It seemed that he had just fallen asleep when there was a knock on the door.

Zheng Anping woke up suddenly and sat up suddenly. He heard the old man go out to open the door, and several people walked in, and a loud voice shouted, "Where does the new post man live?" As soon as he saw the man go into the courtyard. Zheng Anping woke up the remaining people, the door opened, and Jin Cong stood in front of the door, his voice unusually loud: "Where are your scouts?" ”

The postman was visibly alarmed. Rest in the pavilion, and still want to scout?

Jin said sharply: "The Qin army is near, and you are still so careless, do you want to die?" ”

Zheng Anping was completely confused, and didn't know why Jin Cong was so angry.
