Chapter 202: Transporting Grain and Grass in the Secret Passage

The passage was dim, with only a little light from the oil lamp making the road ahead clearer.

Su Hengyu sniffed the strong smell of earth on the tip of his nose and was led all the way forward. The dark passage is very long, but fortunately, the climate at the border pass is dry, so that it is not humid here, and it is easy to walk.

The passage was silent, with the only sounds of footsteps and wheels rolling.

The sky outside could not be seen in the dark tunnel, and everyone did not know how long they had been walking in the dark tunnel.

Xie Cheng, who was following the team, finally didn't hold back, and took the initiative to speak to Su Hengyu: "Master Su, how long do we have to walk before we can reach Luoyan Pass?" ”

He had come to the border secretly, and he hadn't told anyone about it before he came.

Originally, he thought that when he came to the border at this time, he should be heavily checked, and he was afraid that it would not be so easy to enter the city.

But he forgot that now Nanyi City is already Su Hengyu's territory, he met Yan Shen at the gate of the city, and the two recognized each other at a glance.

Relying on his previous friendship with Su Hengyu, Xie Cheng successfully entered Nanyi City and met Su Hengyu.

He wants to enter Luoyan Pass, but now Luoyan Pass is under martial law, in order to prevent the Hun spies from having the opportunity to mix in, the current Luoyan Pass is very strict both in and out.

Moreover, Xie Cheng came from the capital, and he was very clear about the complicated feelings of those people in the DPRK and China towards the border pass. He was worried that he would bring trouble to his family by coming to the border alone.

After all, as the youngest generation of the Xie family, he is the only child living in the capital, on the one hand, to accompany his mother, and on the other hand, he is also an invisible "proton".

Emperor Wei may not have the intention of being jealous of their family, but Cui Xiang's faction is not.

Now that the DPRK and China are in a good mood, if he is found secretly running to the border at this time, I don't know how the people of Choi Xiang's faction will take advantage of this to attack his father.

However, after he told Su Hengyu about the concerns in his heart, the other party waved his hand and told him that these were trivial matters, and she could help Xie Cheng quietly enter Luoyan Pass.

So, he saw a super long secret passage leading from Nanyi City to Luoyan Pass.

When Xie Cheng first saw the entrance of the secret passage, he was really taken aback, and asked Su Hengyu in disbelief: "When did you start cultivating such a long secret passage?" How did you come up with the idea of fixing this thing? ”

"It didn't take long to repair, just more than half a year. When I first took up the position of magistrate, I had this idea, but I didn't have enough resources and manpower in my hands before, so I delayed it for a few months and slowly started to repair. ”

Cement is used in the dark tunnel, but because it is not easy to transport inside, it is only reinforced around the top of the head, and the ground is smoothed a little more to facilitate the transportation of the wheelbarrow.

The dark passage is not very spacious, and the carriage cannot be walked here, so Su Hengyu thought about it, so he made a wheelbarrow with the help of a craftsman, and let people use this method to transport grain and grass to Luoyan Pass.

She didn't tell Xie Jing at the beginning of repairing this secret passage, but she was about to open up the two sides later, so she found Xie Jing, told her about it, and asked her to help her find a suitable place to repair the passage in order to hide people's eyes.

Xie Jing was also frightened at first, and thought that Su Hengyu was going to do something to endanger Great Wei.

But after Su Hengyu explained to her seriously, Xie Jing thought about it and decided to believe Su Hengyu, helped her build the secret passage, and covered it up.

Because both of them knew very well that as long as the Xiongnu existed, they would be an eternal threat to the Great Wei, and they would have to usher in war again sooner or later.

However, now the Cui Xiang faction in the court has always occupied a place, if they make a stumbling block for the border garrison at a critical moment, then what their situation will be, can be imagined.

For the sake of self-preservation, Xie Jing secretly reached a consensus with Su Hengyu and did not let the rest of Xie Jiajun except her know about it.

And now, this secret passage has played a role, just like in the plan of the two.

After listening to Su Hengyu's explanation, Xie Cheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was also worried that Su Hengyu secretly made it himself, if his father's old old man knew what Su Hengyu had done, even if she was dedicated to Da Wei, I am afraid that he would be suspicious.

Now that his second sister also knows about this, his father has no reason to question Su Hengyu.

As the two spoke, they had already reached the end of the dark passage.

Xie Jing, who had already gotten the news, had been waiting at the other end of the dark passage with people, and now that he heard a sound below, he immediately led someone to lift the heavy wooden plank.

The light from the outside entered the dark passage, allowing Xie Jing to see his younger brother at a glance who he hadn't seen for many years.

She immediately became agitated and reached out to pull her brother out.

The one who followed Xie Cheng was Su Hengyu. When Xie Jing saw her, a smile also appeared on his face, and he helped Su Hengyu out with a more gentle force than when he pulled out his younger brother before.

Then the soldiers who followed behind Xie Jing kept jumping into the dark passage, slowly transporting the grain and grass they sent this time to the ground.

Xie Jing arranged the exit of the secret passage in his backyard, which was spacious enough that so many people were crowded here that it didn't even seem crowded.

"Your kid is from here, we received news a few days ago, and my father has arranged for someone to guard the pass, just waiting for you to come." Xie Jing raised his hand and patted his younger brother's shoulder, feeling the strong arm of the other party under his hand, thinking that although this kid returned to the capital, he did not relax his martial arts.

waited until he saw his relatives, and only then did Xie Cheng have a smile on his face.

He said: "I know that it is not easy for my father and brothers and sisters to be at the border, and seeing the Huns committing crimes, how can I see you in danger, but I am living a good life in the capital?" ”

When Xie Jing heard this, he reached out and touched his brother's head again, and then turned his head to look at Su Hengyu: "You came just in time, my father also came over today to keep an eye on the grain and grass, you can go with me to meet him." ”

After speaking, she led Su Hengyu and Xie Cheng into the roof to meet General Xie, and handed over the matter of carrying grain and grass to the deputy general who came over.

However, before that, Su Hengyu also told a steward who came with him, asking him to hand over the accounts of the grain and grass transported this time to the tall lieutenant general, so that it would be convenient for the military camp to count and distribute it at that time.

After doing this, the three of them quickly went into the house.

The adjutant general, who had been arranged so many things, kept his eyes on the three people who left, and he couldn't help but sigh to the brothers beside him: "Don't say it, this female magistrate is really capable, and she actually predicted the crisis of our Luoyanguan so early." This time, thanks to the help, otherwise we don't know if we can continue this battle. ”

The soldiers who followed him also nodded, he looked at the steady stream of grain and grass, and said with emotion: "You are right! ”
