In the lobby of the post station, Wen Feng took a sip of hot tea, and looked at Pei Zheng's eyes with softness: "You are very good, the old man is very pleased, Zhao Gu chose you to be the guide, and it is not in vain that the old man taught him a game." ”

Pei smiled and arched his hand to show respect, but he was slandering in his heart: "How can I be like the leaders of the company in later generations, I only know verbal praise, but I don't know anything substantial." ”

"Divine weapons, superb elixirs, no matter how bad it is, it's okay to give some white silver. ”

Wen Feng saw that Pei Zheng was silent, thinking that he was still thinking about changing the route, so he put down the teacup and said earnestly: "The old man knows that you are out of good intentions, but the route must not be changed easily, the specific reason is inconvenient for the old man to tell you in detail now, you should understand it in the future." ”

Pei Zheng shook his head secretly, what can't be said, it's just that someone has responded to the established route, once the route is changed, the reinforcements arranged in advance will not be useful.

But after all, this is the Northwest Road, how can the reinforcements found by the mission be as far as the emperor of the heavens, and can be called a family of princes?

Not to mention walking according to the established route, the speed was still so slow, Pei Zheng had no doubt that the mission would be completely wiped out before the reinforcements arrived.

It stands to reason that Wen Feng is in the position of a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he inevitably has to fight wits and courage with his political enemies in the court on weekdays, how could he be so naïve to think that things would develop according to his expected results?

Isn't it that he has been in Chang'an's deceitful environment for a long time, and his IQ has plummeted after leaving Chang'an?

Well, not necessarily, it may also be because of insufficient IQ, the court struggle failed, and someone was kicked out.

Otherwise, how could he have taken on this drudgery?

Seeing that Pei Zheng was still indifferent, Wen Feng couldn't help but feel a little excited: "This official is like this, it's up to you to listen or not, go and rest, and set off on time tomorrow morning." ”

When Wen Feng changed his title from an old man to an official, Pei Zheng knew that it was impossible to move the other party in a short time, even if he had just made a small contribution.

The mission did not reach the moment of life and death, and the possibility of him convincing Wen Feng was estimated to be very small.

So Pei Zheng said unhurriedly: "My lord is far-sighted, and he can't understand it from his humble position, so he will retire from his humble position." ”

After speaking, he decisively led his five men to the warehouse.

The guest rooms on the second floor are limited, Wenfeng Linxing Grassland King has a noble status, and each occupies one room, and no matter how crowded the rest is, they can't sleep with thirty-five people.

Pei Zhenggang made a meritorious service, and he was originally qualified to sleep in the upstairs guest room, but he refused and offered to sleep in the warehouse with his subordinates.

The reason is simple, the warehouse is safe.

By the way, there are still five captives in the warehouse waiting for him to deal with.

When Pei Zheng returned to the warehouse with Sangou and others, he was surprised to find that the five people were bleeding and silent.

Pei Zheng hurried to the side of Yi Cheng's corpse, checked the whites of his eyes and the back of his neck, took out a silver needle and poked it at the vital point, only to see that the silver needle was plated with a layer of jet black.

"Carelessly, this group of dead soldiers took poison at the beginning, and if they didn't take the antidote on time, they would die of poison. ”

"I thought that I had captured them alive and tortured them, and I could get a lot of information, but I didn't expect to end up. ”

"Sangou, you go and report this matter to the two adults, if the two adults ask about me, you will say that I am ashamed and dare not meet them. ”

"Fox and rabbit, you two go outside, the enemy is not simple, brothers can't capsize in the gutter. ”

"The little wolf goes to make the bed, it's cold, spread more hay, don't wake up in the middle of the night. ”

"The rats are ready to cook, do what you are good at, the ingredients are available in the kitchen, the brethren eat more, you take more. ”

Pei Zheng arranged all this, took out two pills from his arms, stuffed them into his mouth, and started to practice martial arts.

After a while, Pei Zheng's whole body was steaming, and his strength was like a wave, wave after wave.

If you listen carefully, you may be able to hear the sound of waves crashing on the shore.

......

The deaths of the five dead soldiers did not attract the attention of Wen Feng and Lin Xing, and the two heard that Pei Zheng was ashamed and refused to see each other, and specially asked Sangou to comfort them a few words.

Lin Xing even suddenly opened his mind, took a bottle of pill for the Blood Realm, and asked Sangou to bring it to Pei Zheng.

As for why it was used for the Blood Exchange Realm, because there were no warriors below the Blood Exchange Realm in the entire mission, except for the Prince of the Grassland King.

Even this bottle of elixir was taken by Lin Xing's subordinates, and he promised to return to Chang'an to double the compensation.

Pei Zheng, who got the pill, had a look of embarrassment on his face, it was not easy to get some benefits, in addition to working hard, he had to pretend to be miserable.

I finally understood why the female colleagues in the department in my previous life burst into tears as soon as they were criticized by the leaders.

......

A dreamless night.

On the morning of the second day, Pei Zheng, who has the habit of getting up early, first spent two quarters of an hour warming up, then ate a breakfast for three, checked and maintained all the weapons and hidden weapons he carried, and finally waited for Wen Feng to get up.

The first thing Wen Feng did when he got up was to knock on the door of the prince of the grassland.

Pei Zheng waited for another half an hour, and witnessed the whole process of the thirty or so people of the mission hurriedly freshening up, eating breakfast, packing up their things and preparing to leave.

Before Wen Feng gave the order to officially set off, the three dogs and the rats who were in charge of exploring the path had already ridden forward and disappeared into the snow.

The team traveled south for most of the day, stopping twice in between, and sat there eating a lot to replenish their strength.

At three o'clock, the mouse who went out to explore the road turned back and came to Pei Zheng: "Head, the front has reached Zhaopo Mountain, the mountain road is undulating, which is not conducive to the carriage to move forward, do you recommend that adults take a detour?"

When Pei Zheng heard this, he immediately took out the map from his horse, compared it carefully, turned his horse's head, and faced Wen Feng and Lin Xing, who were a hundred meters behind.

When Lin Xing saw Pei Zheng turn around, he immediately realized that nothing was good, and asked in advance, "What happened ahead?"

Pei Zheng looked at him in surprise: "The general really expected things like a god, and he could actually guess that there was something ahead." ”

Lin Xing said angrily: "If it's okay, will you kid turn around?"

I have to say that sharing hardships is always the easiest and fastest way to enhance the friendship between the two sides.

At the beginning, Lin Xing called Pei Zheng Pei Team Zheng, but after the post station incident, the title became Brother Pei, and today, it has directly become your kid.

It can be seen from the proximity to the close.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

Pei Zheng arched his hand and said: "The front is Zhaopo Mountain, the road is a little difficult to walk, and I have come to ask Lord Shiwen and the general to go around the mountain." ”

Lin Xing thought for a while and said, "You wait first, I will listen to what Master Wen has to say." ”

Without waiting for Lin Xing to ask, Wen Feng sat in the carriage and said in a steady tone: "How long will it take to detour?"

Pei Zheng arched his hand and said: "Zhaopo Mountain is not big, and it can be surrounded by the surroundings in one day." ”

"Is there a lot of this kind of mountain going all the way?"

Pei Zheng thought about it and replied honestly: "Not much, about ten or twenty seats." ”

Wen Feng said in a slightly stern tone: "If you say so, it will take twenty more days to bypass everything, so you won't bypass." ”

Pei Zheng felt bad in his heart, and tried to persuade him: "My lord, think twice, the easiest place in the mountains is to set traps and ambushes, when the carriage crosses the valley, if someone causes an avalanche on the top of the mountain, except for a few people in the mission, I am afraid that no one will be able to escape." ”

Wen Feng said fiercely: "You are a scout, is there anyone on the mountain, can't you find out in advance?"

Pei Zheng's expression was stunned, and he said with a wry smile: "The lowly will try its best to explore the way, but the other party's power is not weak, and the lowly position does not dare to guarantee the absolute safety of the road ahead, if you don't notice it for a while, won't it be too late to regret it?"

"Ahem"

Wen Feng coughed twice, and said indifferently: "That's something you have to think about, this official only thinks about returning to Chang'an as soon as possible and recovering the holy order." ”

Pei Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Isn't the safety of the prince of the grassland king out of the consideration of adults?"

"I think that it is good to go far away, or to return to Chang'an a few days late, it is nothing compared to safety. ”

Through the thick curtain, Wen Feng said in an indifferent tone: "An is not safe, you don't count what you say, this official and General Lin will consider it carefully." This official will never allow easy detours and changes of course, go and lead the way. ”

"General Lin, things like detours and changing routes should not be mentioned in the future, and don't miss the itinerary easily. ”

Pei Zheng still wanted to persuade him again, a broad palm put on his shoulder, he looked back, Lin Xing shook his head at him.

Pei Zheng was silent for a while, and rode his horse forward.

Lin Xing couldn't help asking, "Why is my brother going?"

Pei Zheng didn't look back, and replied: "Go explore the way." ”

Lin Xing shook his head slightly: "I didn't expect to be a stubborn person." ”
