The time was close to evening, and sure enough, as Chu Guoxiong said, since the convoy left the south gate of Jinyang City, there were a few people hanging behind it, and the people from Jinyiwei, Dali Temple and even Yamen appeared and left several times, Chopin thought that they were here to help him clean up his tail, and only under Chu Guoxiong's explanation did he understand that all cities and counties in the imperial court had jurisdiction, and all they wanted was not to have a case on their own one-acre and three-point land, and they naturally didn't care about it when they got to other lands.

Entering the boundary of Yangyi City, the people from the Yamen of Jinyang City never appeared again, and the people from the Yamen of Yangyi City only appeared once and disappeared after talking with Chopin, and the people of Jinyiwei and Dali Temple did not appear after the last appearance an hour ago, and it was too late to move forward again, so they found a suitable place to camp and prepare to spend the night.

Shi Xuanxuan, who had been in the carriage all afternoon, also stepped on the horse, followed Feng Yishan's side, ran from the middle of the team to the front, looked at the huge abandoned camp in front of him, and asked, "This is the Beidaying outside Yangyi City?"

Chu Guoxiong and Chopin were standing in front of the camp and looking at the camp and talking, when they heard the female voice, they knew who was coming, and replied, "Yes, this is the Beida Camp, two years ago, the Beifeng Emperor quelled the rebellion of the princes, and the troops of the six counties in the Northern Regions were all gathered here, and it was also here that the Beifeng Emperor broke through the princes' alliance to attack. ”

Chopin said, "Yes, even though it has been two years since the last garrison left, the camp is still strong, and many of the caravans are stationed here. ”

Feng Yishan looked at the camp and said, "Such a large camp can accommodate a lot of caravans, but there are no caravans stationed within the sight, is this road we are taking not a trade route?"

Chopin sighed, "During this period of martial arts turmoil, they all went to the heroes conference in the central and southern regions, and the caravans avoided if they could, and they avoided if they could, and there were many fewer caravans on this road!

Feng Yishan nodded, looking at your scale, he knew that you had no choice but to do it, and said loudly, "This kind of camp has a large radiation range, is solid and reliable, and extends in all directions, there must be people who have been walking this road for a long time to renovate it in it to facilitate their own rest, I'm afraid it will not be calm tonight, let the night patrol people strengthen their defense!"

Chopin said, "It's impossible! Next to this is Yangyi City, and there are often troops who pass by here who will stay here, and the people and horses of the imperial court have not all been in contact with us, they still dare to do it here, in my opinion, the lofty mountains near Hukou Pass are dangerous areas, so let's have a good rest tonight." ”

Chu Guoxiong said instead, "Brother Feng has good eyesight, our Jinyang Dart Bureau maintains a camp here, and those who usually take this road will stay here for the night, and it will be fine." ”

Feng Yishan asked curiously, "Do you know that you maintain a camp here, and let you get one under your nose like this?"

Chopin also looked at Chu Guoxiong curiously, their caravan was in Yangyi City every time, although he knew that someone was maintaining a camp here, but he didn't expect that there was actually one in the Jinyang Dart Bureau.

Chu Guoxiong smiled and said, "Third Master Xiao, Brother Feng, this is not for nothing, we have to spend a lot of silver every year, and the imperial court still has to requisition it from time to time, it is not an exaggeration to say that we are maintaining the operation of this big camp for the imperial court, everyone, please!"

Chu Guoxiong took the reins and took the lead to go in, Chopin also followed, Feng Yishan looked at the old dragon head, the old dragon head nodded imperceptibly to indicate that what Chu Guoxiong said was still reliable, and the group went to the place maintained by the Jinyang Dart Bureau under the leadership of Chu Guoxiong to set up camp, Feng Yishan observed the abandoned camp from time to time, and indeed found that there were traces of new maintenance in some places, and some places still had people sneakily on the lookout, and after confirming the flag, they hid again, but as Chu Guoxiong said, there are many forces that are maintaining the operation of this camp for their own use, thinking that the imperial court has thought of a good way。

After walking a short distance, the camp of Jinyang Dart Bureau arrived, which is a hidden place hidden in the old camp, with the help of the heavy camp to hide their figure, between several abandoned camps with a wall to enclose a camp, look at the size of the original there should be a few camps, but it is a good place as a camp.

The gate of the village is not large, and the carriages are entering the camp one by one under the command of the people of the Jinyang Dart Bureau, obviously there has been a plan before, and it is orderly and not panicked. Feng Yishan and the others got off the horse and let the groom and others lead in, and they walked into the camp on foot, and the first side was a conspicuous wellhead.

Feng Yishan pointed to the mouth of the well and opened his mouth, Chu Guoxiong said, "We chose this place because there is this well here, looking at the location and construction method, it should be the baggage camp of the original army, with it, as long as the hoarding materials are enough, even if it is surrounded, we are not afraid." ”

Feng Yishan said: "But isn't this more conducive to the enemy's poisoning?"

Chu Guoxiong pointed to the surroundings, six small wooden buildings surrounded, in the periphery is the wall, the inside of the wall is lower than the outside, the guards stand on the outside of the wall can not see, I think that many camps here are built like this, the outside is disguised as a dilapidated abandoned camp, but there is a hole inside, under the wall is the tent set up for the caravan, surrounded by a circle, it is extremely difficult to poison in front of everyone.

Chopin looked around and asked, "This is indeed a good place, Yangyi is a trade route that must always be used, and it will indeed save a lot of trouble if a camp is built here." ”

Chu Guoxiong saw that Chopin was a little moved, and then said, "If Xiao Sanye also has this idea, he can introduce Xiao Sanye, and then the Xiao family's caravan can go directly to the outside of Yushe City through here, not only has one more choice than others, but the speed is also incomparable to others." ”

Chopin asked, "If this is so natural, it would be good, but how much would it cost to maintain this camp?"

Chu Guoxiong said, "You don't need any manpower, you can maintain it every day, and there are more than a dozen people responsible for cleaning and accepting the imperial court inspection, as for the cost, it depends on the relationship between the Xiao family and this Yangyi Taiwei." ”

"Tai Lieutenant?" Feng Yishan asked puzzled.

"This Beida battalion is an asset of the military, so it naturally requires the permission of the captain. Chu Guoxiong explained, with a proud expression.

Feng Yishan looked at the old dragon head with some interest, such a camp half a day away from Jinyang City has extremely important strategic significance, the old dragon head naturally knows the true meaning of Feng Yi Mountain, his own Huanglong Gang discarded a lot of strongholds from the light to the dark, and now it is natural to start the layout again, but the current Ming Department does not have this demand, so he said, "Owner, there are not so many people in our villa, and the gain of maintaining a camp here outweighs the loss!"

When Chu Guoxiong saw this, he was shocked in his heart, the ambition of this Feng Yi Mountain is not small! Just after settling in Jinyang City, he thought about expanding outward, and said politely: "Why do you need to get one yourself, according to the friendship between you and me, the owner of this camp is to use it yourself, why be polite." ”

Feng Yishan thought in his heart, "If I use yours, wouldn't you know everything, how can this work." "Opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Chu has misunderstood, my Jiulian Villa has just been established, and I haven't even done my own things yet, how can I have the energy to take care of this, Mr. Chu's good intentions can only be understood." ”

Chopin looked at Feng Yishan and only felt that this kid must be hiding something, as a businessman, it is the most basic ability to observe words and feelings, he thought that the eyes of Feng Yishan and the old dragon head just now must have ulterior motives, and the conversation with Chu Guoxiong was just to deal with errands, but as a businessman, he would not ask such a tasteless thing in person, thinking about the possible meaning of Feng Yishan, while saying goodbye to them, he went back to the caravan to arrange, hesitating whether to let Liu Fu explore the details.

Chopin left, Chu Guoxiong wanted to arrange guards, Feng Yishan arranged for Heyuan to follow the instructions of the Jinyang Dart Bureau and be responsible for the security of the entire camp together, while he and the old dragon head went to the branch division Xuanxuan under the pretext of going to rest, and asked her to go to see the guards, but in fact, to discuss the necessity of making a camp.
