Chen Mo looked at the official document in his hand, this official document was quite strange, so strange that he didn't understand it.

In a few days, a convict will be sent from Anyang Province, and this group of prisoners will pass through the area under their jurisdiction.

This was not a big deal, but this official document made himself more vigilant and went to escort this group of prisoners.

There is something wrong with this, and it stands to reason that there is no need for me to escort the prisoners.

Unless the prisoners are important and someone wants to attack them, vigilance must be strengthened.

However, this official document does not specify this, and does not even say where the prisoners are going, but only asks him to escort them all the way.

Chen Mo really couldn't figure out what extremely important prisoners there would be in Anyang Mansion.

Even if there is a reason for the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao is basically about to be killed.

Even the nine clans of Zhou Cheng have been executed, it is difficult to become this group of prisoners, and it will involve higher-level figures.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent an official document and let myself go to escort him.

Chen Mo put away the official document, the description in the official document is unknown, and he can see the specific situation at a glance.

However, I have to make some preparations, and my father-in-law also deliberately ordered a sentence in the official document to make myself prepared, so it can be seen that this matter is quite risky.

Fortunately, I just helped escort him, and it was only an official document issued by my father-in-law, not an official document issued by the Ministry of War.

Even if there is a real problem with this matter, the main responsibility cannot be traced back to oneself.

Chen Mo put away the official documents, got up and walked outside the house and said, "There are some things in the army, I have to leave the day after tomorrow." ”

Zhao Yu was basking in the warm winter sun, sewing and mending clothes, and immediately stopped his work when he heard the sound.

"Okay, then I'll go and prepare some dry food for you." She put away her needlework.

Chen Mo himself went to check it, and turned around to prepare the light armor on his body.

This time it is an escort, and it is an escort with a certain risk, not a military battle, and the whole body heavy armor can play a small role.

On the contrary, it is better to wear light armor, which is more convenient and flexible, and if you really encounter a strong enemy, you can run faster.

After all, it's just escorting a group of prisoners, and the prisoners will die when they die, and they can't put their lives there.

As for the weapon that the mirage had changed, Chen Mo still decided to bring it with him.

Heavy armor affects the flexibility of action and can not be worn, and it is better to bring a weapon with a piece.

Get ready, rest at home for another day, and early the morning after tomorrow, Chen Mo officially set off.

did not drive a horse, dressed in armor, holding a blade, and carrying the dry food prepared by Zhao Yu.

Chen Mo walked all the way to the corner of the street, stopped and turned around, Zhao Yuguo was still standing in front of the door looking at himself.

He didn't say much, smiled slightly, and waved goodbye to her.

All the way out of Zhuniuji, Chen Mo walked along the official road, his speed was not very fast, but always maintained a stable and uniform speed.

It took about an hour and spanned more than 150 miles.

Chen Mo arrived at Shuangma Store at this time, and the difference between this and Zhu Niu Ji is not very big.

All of them are cattle and horse trading markets established for digging and transporting salt.

The salt envoy stationed here learned that Chen Mo was coming, and he was busy preparing a banquet, and found a quiet courtyard for Chen Mo to rest.

They waited here for a day and two nights, until noon the day after tomorrow, when a large number of people arrived.

Chen Mo didn't know exactly how many prisoners he was escorting, but so far, he had seen more than 400 soldiers.

Everyone is wearing armor, trained solemnly, and their movements are uniform, and they are all extremely rare elite soldiers.

The use of these people to escort prisoners shows the importance of those prisoners.

Chen Mo even saw the guards of Anyang Mansion, and it was obvious that he personally escorted and cared for these prisoners.

"Thirteenth brother." A loud and cordial cry rang out.

Following the voice, Chen Mo saw Mo Hu walking towards him with a smile.

"Fifth brother." Chen Mo greeted him with a smile, and he was not surprised to see him.

Since the father-in-law sent him an official document and asked him to escort him, it was normal for Mo Hu to go with him.

"What is the origin of this escorted prisoner, and why does the imperial court attach so much importance to it?" Chen Mo's tone was puzzled, and he asked in a low voice.

Mo Hu frowned slightly, and slowly shook his head, "I don't know, I only know that there are eighty prisoners, but looking at this posture, let alone eighty prisoners, I estimate that even eighty carts of gold don't need so many people to escort them." ”

Mo Hu is also a second monk who is confused, five hundred all-armor elite soldiers, it may not be enough to fight the capital city, but it is definitely more than enough to fight an ordinary county town.

All the bandits in the entire Dingzhou territory gathered together, and they may not be able to solve these 500 elite soldiers.

What's more, there are no bandits who can't think of it and suddenly want to rob the prisoner's car.

However, in this case, the fact that the imperial court still arranged so many aspects can only prove that these prisoners are extremely important.

And someone may have to take action against these prisoners, which is why the imperial court will arrange such precautions.

"You just saw Lord Yang in Anyang Mansion, right? The matter of escorting the prisoners was not in charge of him, but was personally led by General Zhou Dongzhou.

In addition to Lord Yang's elite soldiers, there were also a hundred Sky Survey Guards to escort him. ”

Mo Hu's tone was still a little surprised, and he said in a low voice.

If the pro-soldier is the elite of a general, then the Sky Survey Guard is the elite of the elite.

Anyone who can be selected as the guardian of the sky survey is almost all Wu Xiucai.

These Wu Xiucai have nothing to do with each other, so they can't go to the door, so they can only fight on their own.

If you join the Sky Survey Guard for two or three years, then you will have the opportunity to mix in an official position.

It can almost be said that every Sky Survey Guard is an elite martial artist, and at least being able to get the fame of Xiucai is enough to prove that their strength is not bad.

"Then it seems that this thing is very unusual!" When Chen Mo heard this, he understood even more how deep the water was in this matter.

Let an acquired powerhouse lead the most elite armor soldiers in the entire Dingzhou to escort these prisoners.

Chen Mo was now curious about who these prisoners colluded with so important.

Or is their own identity also very important, even if the emperor's relatives commit a major crime of rebellion, they will be sent to the capital to be tried by the Son of Heaven in person, I am afraid that this is the specification.

"Who said no, I can only hope that it will be safe and stable, and nothing will happen." Mo Hu also agreed.

"But Fifth Brother, what is the effect of your Spirit Nourishing Blood Pill?" Chen Mo looked at Mo Hu again and asked.

The Soul Nourishing Blood Pill can help the martial artist condense his internal qi, which is a reward from the imperial court.

Mo Hu has been getting this pill for more than a month, and I don't know if he has taken it.

"The effect is okay, I have cultivated a wisp of internal qi, but I haven't told you yet." Mo Hu smiled, talking about this matter, he was in a pretty good mood.

"That's a good thing! I'll let someone buy a banquet, and our brothers will have a few drinks today. ”

Chen Mo was very happy for Mo Hu, if he could cultivate his internal qi, his strength would inevitably increase.

At his age, as long as he cultivates well in the future, he will still have the opportunity to take the Jinshi meritorious service.

If you can't get the first and second grades, it's always possible to get the top three.

"Let's drink a few fewer glasses, and drink more in the evening." Mo Hu didn't refuse, but he wasn't sure how long the army would be stationed here.

If you don't leave until tomorrow, you can really have a few drinks.

"I have a temporary residence here, fifth brother, you go there to rest."

Chen Mo took out a key from his arms, although he only lived here temporarily.

But the salt envoy here still bought this mansion and gave it to Chen Mo, and also found him two maids to serve him.

"I'll go visit General Zhou first, and the two of us will go back and catch up."

Chen Mo handed him the key and turned to look for General Zhou.

He came to escort this time, not only to escort, but also to lead the way.

There are detailed maps, but it's best to have someone who knows the local situation well.

In addition, with him accompanying him, he can mobilize all the van troops within the jurisdiction of the entire salt transportation department.

Although the Xiang army is loosely armed, it can be used as an auxiliary soldier, and it can still help with some miscellaneous work.

And if he doesn't come forward, even Zhou Dong can't mobilize these van troops at will.

It's not that his official position is not high enough and his power is not big enough, it's because it's not in accordance with the rules.

It is impossible for the imperial court to allow him to be a commander-in-chief of the Heavenly Survey Guard and mobilize all the troops at will.

The so-called Sky Survey Guard is taken from the four characters of Dai Tian Xun Hunting, which is an intelligence organization that only serves today's children.

They have the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials and powerful families of the rivers and lakes.

They have a lot of power, but before the will of the Son of Heaven, they don't have much military power, and they only have a small number of elite armorers.

Only when they received a decree or order could they call in the court officials.

In order to escort a group of prisoners, Zhou Dong actually led the Sky Survey Guards to come, which shows that today's son attaches great importance to this.

"I'll go with you, and I won't have to worry about you anymore." Mo Hu accepted the key, although he had already met General Zhou, but now it would be okay to accompany Chen Mo on another trip.

The two of them walked side by side at the moment, all the way to the center of the many armorers.

Accompanied by Mo Hu, many armor soldiers naturally did not stop more, and made way for them.

Chen Mo also saw the prisoner cart guarded in the center by many armor soldiers, the prisoner cart was one zhang long and seven feet wide, and the whole body was wrapped in black cloth, so he couldn't see the internal situation clearly.

There were fourteen or fifteen such prisoner cars, each of which was pulled by two horses.

Crossing the prisoner's cart, we came to a small courtyard.

A few days earlier, the local yamen had received an official letter asking them to prepare a place for the soldiers who had come here to eat and rest.

As soon as many of the soldiers arrived, they were led to rest in various places.

The soldiers who remained in place were mainly there to take care of the prisoner carts.

Walking into the courtyard, Zhou Dong was dressed in a four-grade splendid military attache robe and sat in the main hall to rest.

"The lower official meets the chief envoy." Chen Mo stepped forward and bowed down.

"There's no need to be so rusty, I am the same year as your father-in-law, just call me Uncle Zhou."

Zhou Dong saw him coming and said with a smile.

His attitude towards Chen Mo is quite kind, firstly, because his relationship with Sun Shouren is acceptable, and secondly, because Chen Mo's talent is quite good.

"Your stepfather explained before, you are quite strong, and with you in this escort, I can also have some peace of mind."

He is telling the truth, a foreign martial artist with 3,000 catties of strength is rare in the entire Xingyuan Mansion.

Even if you go to the Jinshi examination, you can get in.

Although there are already two martial arts powerhouses in this escort, he and Anyang Mansion Zhenshou, it is undoubtedly safer to have one more.

"Uncle Zhou, the little nephew has a puzzle, I hope you can answer it." Chen Mo asked in a deep voice.

Zhou Dong nodded lightly, waved his hand and retreated, and even Mo Hu stepped back.

He knew that he shouldn't know these things, not because his official position was not high enough, but because his strength was not strong enough.

Possessing internal qi cultivation can go further, but even if he cultivates for a period of time, it is estimated that his qi strength is 1,600 catties, even if it is at the top.

There is still too much gap between Yu Chen Mo, and there are some things that he should not know because his strength is insufficient.

Knowing too much is not a good thing.

It wasn't until only Zhou Dong and Chen Mo were left in this small courtyard that he spoke, "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask, and I will tell you what I need to tell you." ”

As the powerhouse in the escort team second only to himself and the guards of Anyang Mansion, Chen Mo was already qualified to know many things.

"Uncle Zhou, what is the origin and identity of the prisoner escorted this time, and it is worth using such a battle."

Chen Mo's face was full of confusion and asked in a deep voice.
