The official post looks in disrepair, maybe it still leaks, or the house of the military post is more spacious.

He Chengye asked someone to bring hot water and a stove to warm them, and Lu Xu saw that his face was red from the cold, and his fingers and ears were frostbitten, and he held back the yin and yang strange qi in his stomach.

"We brought chilblain cream, Lu Zhou, you go and find it."

Lu Zhou said "um" and ran to the carriage to get it.

He Chengye was surprised: "You brought chilblain cream?" ”

Lu Xu smiled "hehe": "Contemptible people are not talented, and they just have several years of experience in running the north." ”

He Chengye ignored the strangeness in his tone, and when Lu Zhou took the ointment in, he opened the bottle and smelled it, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the ointment of Jishitang." ”

Lu Xu said in his heart, that is, can he buy it badly?

He Chengye dipped a small piece and wiped it on the frostbite on the back of his hand and fingers, first ice, then a tingling sensation of numbness and itching, and soon the moisturizing sensation penetrated into the skin, and there was a faint fragrance of ointment on his hands.

He Chengye sighed silently in his heart, no matter what the environment, whenever he saw Lu Xu, he seemed to be very good at enjoying it.

He Chengye closed the lid and returned it to Lu Zhou, "Lu Zhou seems to have lost a little weight." ”

Hearing He Chengye's homely opening, Lu Xu's vigilant radar swished, and now he was vigilant when he saw the surname He, and felt that they were not good people.

Without waiting for Lu Zhou to answer, Lu Xu said first: "I can't eat well on the road, I can't sleep well, and I can't stay up." ”

Lu Zhou looked left and right, and said obediently: "I'm not very thin." ”

Lu Xu: "Well, this time it's okay, thanks to the experience of going to Beijing last time, we are well prepared, we have traveled a long way, and we have not had any serious illnesses along the way." ”

Yan Junqi couldn't listen to it anymore, and glancing at him, Lu Xu immediately put away his complaints and sat up straight.

He Chengye knew from the letter that he didn't want to come, so he only laughed silently.

Yan Junqi asked: "Inspector He, we have just arrived, and we are not familiar with Dingbei County, I heard on the road that Master Su seems to be in Crouching Tiger Pass, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

He Chengye: "Su Jun is recuperating in Crouching Tiger Pass, if you want to visit him, you might as well go over tomorrow." ”

Lu Xu was surprised: "Really sick?" ”

Su Lingzhong is the county guard of Dingbei County, and the north of Crouching Tiger Pass is the territory of Dingbei County, he is a county guard, what kind of illness should he look outside his territory, is there no doctor in Dingbei County?

Yan Junqi: "Ahem." ”

Lu Xu immediately changed his words: "We also brought a lot of medicinal materials this time, I don't know what kind of illness Master Su is, maybe we can use it?" ”

He Chengye signaled that it was okay, but he still lowered his voice slightly: "The barbarians in Zhen'an County had a conflict with the people, the situation was a little out of control, Lord Su went to coordinate, and on the way back, he encountered wolves, his horse was frightened and out of control, and he fell off the horse, Dingbei County lacked medical treatment and medicine, and the doctor was afraid that the treatment would not be good, so he was urgently sent to Crouching Tiger Pass." ”

Yan Junqi: "Is there a big problem?" ”

He Chengye shook his head, "People have been awake for a few days, but they are too frightened, and they will have a fever from time to time, if you bring enough medicine, you might as well ask the military doctor tomorrow if you can use it." ”

Yan Junqi: "Okay, I'll go over early tomorrow morning." ”

Lu Xu listened to it with a heavy heart.

Su Lingzhong is a county guard, and he fell and injured himself in Dingbei County, and he actually had to go to Crouching Tiger Pass for treatment.

So what is the situation in Beiting County?

He Chengye: "Brother Lu, it just so happens that I have something to discuss with you. ”

Lu Xu came back to his senses, "Huh? Oh, what's the matter? ”

He Chengye: "Those things you sent from Beijing ......"

Lu Xu thought that he was disgusted with occupying the place, and immediately said: "When we settle down, I will transport it away immediately." ”

He Chengye: "No, I want to ask if you have brought a lot of grain, oil and salt?" ”

Lu Xu: "Huh? ”

Lu Xu refused three times: "What I brought is our own rations!" ”

He Chengye smiled: "When will the three of you eat so much food?" ”

Lu Xu: "When we arrived in Beiting County, we still had to raise officials and send officials to guard the master of the hospital." ”

Daqi's salary for the officials is limited, and the excess has to be solved by the magistrate himself, Lu Xu has inquired before he came, and the silver in Dingbei County is not easy to use at all, and what is eaten is the royal road.

Is that food?

That's the wages he hired to keep the peace.

He Chengye discussed with him: "Is it feasible to resell half of us?" ”

Lu Xu shook his head.

He Chengye: "Thirty percent is fine. ”

Lu Xu's head shook like a rattle.

He wasn't fooled, he gave the Xiao cavalry the food on credit in Shuozhou, and the Xiao cavalry didn't pay half of the account when he left from Guanyang.

If it weren't for the fact that he made money well and could rely on other mouthfuls of blood, their Guanyang Alliance would have been dragged to death by this group of people who didn't give money on credit.

Lu Xu: "Brother He, you are an overseer, not a quartermaster, don't care about military rations, right?" Why don't you urge the capital? ”

He Chengye smiled bitterly.

Where does he not urge.

Not only did he urge, but Wei Dingshan also urged, and even Su Lingzhong sent letters to the capital every day to cry poverty.

The household department doesn't pay attention to it at all!

When he came, the household department was somewhat squeezed out because of his relationship with He Taishi and Fan Xiao, and then it was useless for him to ask for it.

The household department asked him to follow the example of Shuozhou and try to solve it on the spot, but the situation here is not as good as Shuozhou, and he can't get food and grass even if he catches the county guard in Sulingzhong.

He Chengye: "Maybe some of the herbs are left?" ”

Lu Xu struggled for a long time and nodded: "I can only leave a third at most." ”

He Chengye: "Okay. ”

Lu Xu: "On the way we came, we saw that there are many small businesses in nearby towns, can't you buy them from them?" ”

He Chengye smiled bitterly, "You'll know when you get to Beiting County." ”

Lu Xu was at a loss.

He Chengye didn't say anything more, and made an appointment that he would send troops to send them to their posts tomorrow, so he offered to leave.

He lifted the curtain and looked at the more than 20 carriages parked in the courtyard, and stood for a while, which made Lu Xu feel weak and scared for a while, for fear that he would not agree with him and order their luggage to be detained.

Lu Xu: "After you meet the county guard tomorrow, let's leave quickly, I think this is a den of thieves." ”

Yan Junqi couldn't cry or laugh, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Lu Zhou: "Brother, is the same in the north?" ”

Lu Xu: "Not anymore. Let's go, go see what we have to eat, eat early, rest early, and I'll have to hurry tomorrow. ”

Lu Zhou nodded.

However, when writing a letter in the evening, Lu Zhou wrote all the things he had seen and heard today into the letter, and went to the post house to deliver a letter to Jiang Hao early the next morning.

It's just that when he sent the letter, he inexplicably felt that the other party was a little hostile to him.

Lu Zhou has never used a military post, there is only a military post in Crouching Tiger Pass, there is no official post, seeing that the other party's expression is not good, he asked if there is any inconvenience, if it is inconvenient, he can not send it for the time being.

The messenger soldier said with a stinky face: "Your county order is going to deliver the letter before you go to work?" ”

Lu Zhou: "It's not Yan County's order to send it." ”

Receiver: "Who's sending it?" ”

Lu Zhou: "Me." ”

Receiver: "You?" What official position do you have? We are a military post, we have no military information, and you want us to brave the heavy snow to deliver a letter for you? ”

Lu Zhou paused, and wanted to take the token given to him by Jiang Hao to the other party, but seeing the snow outside that was not more than half of his calf, he took the letter back again, "I'm sorry, I'll send it another day." ”

He was just about to leave, but the other party suddenly stopped him, "Alas, child, did your county order the adults to go to the army to send a lot of grain and grass first?" ”

Lu Zhou nodded and shook his head: "It's not all food, it's mainly some daily necessities." ”

"Is there any grass in there?"

Lu Zhou nodded.

"You use our military post to transport grain, and you don't want to leave us a bag of grain, do you?"

Lu Zhou was stunned.

On the other side, Lu Xu also quarreled with the grain officer of Crouching Tiger Pass because of this matter.

Lu Xu: "I'll say it again, your overseers are just collecting on your behalf, and these are all bought by me with my own money, not the military rations allocated to you by the imperial court." ”

The grain officer played a scoundrel: "I don't care what kind of food you have, since it is sent from the military post, it is military food." ”

Lu Xu was happy: "What about He Chengye, I want to see He Chengye." ”

Grain officer: "He Dujun left the customs early in the morning. ”

Lu Xu: "What about General Wei Dingshan?" ”

Food officer: "The general is not here. ”

Lu Xu: "Are you such a big pass without a person in charge?" Call him. ”

The grain officer smiled: "I am, you can just talk to me about the grain." ”

Lu Xu: "I'll talk to you about a fart!" Do you let it go? ”

The grain officer smiled: "You leave the grain and go casually, I will ask the brothers to escort the county commander to take office." ”

Lu Xu: "If I don't leave food, you won't ask us to take office, right?" ”

The grain officer only smiled and did not answer.

Lu Xu also smiled, "That's right, are you happy to go as Lao Tzu?" ”

He ran to the car and took down the letter written by Fan Xiao to Wei Dingshan and He Chengye, slapped it into his arms together with Yan Junqi's appointment documents, and sneered: "I don't want food, and we won't do it anymore, this county orders you to do it!" ”

Food Officer: ???
