Chapter 42: Wangzhi Pass
Half a month later.
Across the mountain...
"Ahead is the car of the fourteenth princess?"
The big day is empty.
Hundreds of cavalrymen were stationed on both sides of the official road under the banner of the king.
"Who are you?"
Seeing that someone was blocking the road, the former military cadet stepped forward.
"I am under the command of General Zhengxing, the ranger captain Meng Huai, I heard that His Majesty sent the fourteenth princess to Wangzhi Pass to condole, so my general ordered me to be stationed here to receive the fourteenth princess's imperial drive."
Meng Huai took out a letter from his arms: "This is a letter written by the general of my family to the princess, with the seal of the garrison general on it, please take a look." ”
The former military captain took the letter but did not open it, but asked, "What about your identity card?" ”
"The waist card is here, please check it."
Meng Huai pulled down the waist card and handed it over.
"Wait..."
Holding the letter and the waist card, the former military captain rode back: "Princess, the people in front of me call themselves Meng Huai, the captain of the Wangzhi Pass Ranger School, saying that they are here to pick us up on the order of General Zhengxing, and there is also a letter from General Zhengxing and the identity of the leading captain as evidence." ”
"Grandpa Hong, take a look."
"Yes, Princess."
Grandpa Hong stepped out of the carriage and then took out a notebook and compared it with the notes in the letter.
After confirming that it was correct, he looked at the identity waist card again, and when he saw that the red rope on the waist card had been pulped, and one side was new and the other side was old, he nodded slightly: "Princess, it's General Wang's note, and the waist card looks fine." ”
"Meng Huai, right?"
The fourteenth princess nodded lightly: "Let him come by himself." ”
Stomp Tread...
Riding a horse to the front of the forbidden army's military formation, Meng Huai unloaded his weapon, turned over and dismounted, and walked to the carriage alone.
"Wangzhi Pass, Ranger Captain Meng Huai, see the princess."
Meng Huai took off his helmet and knelt on one knee as a sign of respect.
"Captain Meng, in your pass, the quartermaster who is responsible for distributing grain and grass can be surnamed Xu?" Princess Luo Ling asked.
Meng Huai shook his head: "Back to the princess, the quartermaster who distributed the grain and grass was surnamed Zheng, and the horse officer in charge of the horses was surnamed Xu." ”
"Oh, that's my mistake."
Princess Luo Ling asked again: "Is Doctor Hu's health okay?" ”
"Back to the princess, the military doctor in the camp is surnamed Liu, you should be asking veterinarian Hu, right?" As he spoke, Meng Huai added: "Veterinarian Hu is in good health, and it is a must to treat horse flatulence." ”
Seeing Meng Huai's answers, he was fluent.
Although Princess Luo Ling was a little relieved, she was still a little strange: "This place is still two or three hundred miles away from Wangzhi Pass, let alone two or three hundred miles, why are you running here and waiting." ”
"The princess doesn't know anything."
Meng Huai smiled bitterly: "Although the Henglian Mountain Range is dangerous, it is difficult for the Zhiguo army to cross, but the large army can't pass, and a small group of scouts is still okay, and the general is worried that this road will not be smooth, so let me respond as soon as possible." ”
Hear this.
Princess Luo Ling was completely relieved and ordered: "Captain Meng, you will lead your elite cavalry and lead the way in front of us." ”
"Wait..."
Just when Meng Huai was about to receive his life.
Jiang Xuan suddenly spoke: "Since Captain Meng is very familiar with things at the border pass, then he knows that there is a coolie camp under Wangzhi Pass. ”
"Of course I do." Meng Huai saw that Jiang Xuan was wearing armor all over his body, just thinking that he was a certain general in the forbidden army, so he spoke: "Actually, it shouldn't be called a coolie battalion, in the military system, this battalion is called a sin battalion." ”
Coolie camps are also good.
Sin camp too.
Jiang Xuan didn't care about the title, but asked: "There is a battalion leader in the coolie camp, named Yang Lu, does Captain Meng know him?" ”
"Recognize..."
Meng Huai opened his mouth and smiled: "That man is a fool, he never spares no effort to work, and he also takes a group of prisoners to reclaim wasteland, what crime is the body of a prisoner, he does not dare to waste rice and food on soldiers, and he must be self-sufficient." ”
That's right.
Meng Huai should really be a ranger lieutenant under General Zhengxing, if he was impersonated, even if the person who pretended to be him recognized the officials in the army, it would be impossible to tell Yang Lu about leading the coolie battalion to open up the wasteland and grow grain.
"Who is Yang Lu?"
Seeing that what the two said was very interesting, Princess Luo Ling also became interested: "Jiang Zhenchuan, how do you know the people in the crime camp?" ”
Hear this.
Jiang Xuan sighed and said: "Yang Lu, is the senior brother of my righteous sister, this matter is a long story, and I can't say that I have to ask the princess for help." ”
Thereupon.
Jiang Xuan told Yang Lu about it.
"And such people!"
Hearing that Yang Lu distributed official food for the people, and he didn't leave when he could go, he was willing to go to Wangzhi Pass with a group of peaceful Taoists to be punished, and the fourteenth princess was also very surprised: "This is a gentleman with a noble character, Jiang Zhenchuan, this palace is the time to use people now, you see..."
"It's hard."
Jiang Xuan said honestly: "Yang Lu has a grudge against the imperial court to kill his father, he went to Wangzhiguan to work as a coolie, first, he can't bear to be separated from the sect, and second, in order to save him, Elder Hong of Ping'an Dao did not hesitate to collude with Zhiguo's secret agents, and almost caused a catastrophe, he wanted to do something in the past, so as to atone for Elder Hong's affairs, not to let go of mustard." ”
"Then why should I save him?" Princess Luo Ling lost interest when she heard this.
"There is no danger in life than life and death."
Jiang Xuan took the initiative to say: "I have a very interesting deal, I don't know if the princess is interested." ”
Raise your hand.
Princess Luo Ling motioned for him to continue.
"Princess, you are a royal noble, and this trip to the front line is to boost the morale of the border soldiers, and the spies of the four countries must want to kill you.
I can't guarantee that I will be able to keep you alive under the assassination, but I can guarantee that whoever kills you, I will kill him and avenge you, you see this deal is not interesting. ”
This...
Princess Luo Ling thought about it, it was quite interesting.
But she knew Jiang Xuan's strength, and said suspiciously: "You are just a quasi-grandmaster who has completed the external training, and has not yet broken through to the internal training, I am dead, how can you guarantee that you are not dead."
Furthermore, if the person who killed me is the Grandmaster, with your strength, how can you avenge me. ”
Jiang Xuan didn't explain: "You just need to know that I can, come out and walk the rivers and lakes, you can't show your killing moves, and if you show too much, it won't work." ”
looked at Jiang Xuan quietly.
After a while, Princess Luo Ling smiled: "Don't hide any killer moves, otherwise, you can stay with me all night, as long as you are willing, I will promise you anything." ”
Jiang Xuan: "??? ”
......
Two days later.
Wangzhi Town.
"Brother, did the fourteenth princess really promise to release my brother and them?"
It took twenty-two days.
The team finally arrived at Wangzhi Town, a semi-military town only thirty miles from the border pass.
"No, she has a place to get me, not to mention that even if she repents, I have another way, and there is not only one way."
Walk down the street.
In fact, the earliest Wangzhi Town was not called Wangzhi Town, but called Dulunkou.
Why the name.
Because soldiers are also people, and there is also demand, so a business was created.
The coachman was pushing a wheelbarrow, and on the cart was a straw mat, on which lay a woman with her face covered.
Don't ask where the coachman is from, and don't ask who the woman is.
If you have money, you can come and play, and if you don't have money, you can have food.
Later.
Some shrewd businessmen simply don't leave here.
You build a small hut, I build a straw hut, and slowly it turns from a wheelbarrow into a small village.
And then later.
If you have good cooking skills, you will hang a wooden board in the store with a few side dishes written on it.
The result.
The one-wheeled mouth became the one-wheeled village.
Dulun Village has become Wangzhi Town again.
Today's Wangzhi Town.
The population is in the early 10,000s, and in addition to some people engaged in the service industry, there are also some family members of military families who have moved over.
Of course.
There are still many children who don't have fathers.
......
ps: Kavin, make up for it tonight.
