Dajin royal family

Chapter 203 Night March

There are some things that he can disregard his life because of his own interests, but he absolutely cannot tolerate things like "thoughts", because no one knows better than him the harm that such things bring.Maybe it is very weak now, but once it gets an opportunity, it will spread like a plague quickly, and it cannot be stopped.

The "great virtuous teacher" at the end of Han Dynasty is a living example.

For Jiang Chengxiao now, some things must never happen.

"Pass down the order to set off at the second watch tonight, aiming at Mushan, Dongnae County!"

The heavy rain filled the land of Shandong, and layers of water curtains covered his eyes. Hu Ergou stretched out his hand to wipe the water stains on his face, and raised his head. In front of him was the back of his companions who could not see the end. There was thunder above his head. Roaring, the soles of the feet are stepping in the muddy water, wearing the uniform leather armor of the Jin army, holding a horizontal knife in their hands, and carrying a shield on their backs, the team composed of coir raincoats hurried towards Donglai County in the rainy night go.

The whole process was very quiet, no one complained about the bad weather, and everyone spent their energy on the road.Occasionally, if a companion falls by his side, someone will come to help him immediately. This is done to avoid affecting the speed of the march.

Hu Ergou really wanted to tell the familiar captain beside him that he wanted to rest.But whenever he saw the numb expression on the captain's face, he immediately extinguished the thoughts in his heart.

I don't know how long they walked until dawn, when news suddenly came from the front that the county lieutenant asked them to rest in place for half an hour and eat some dry food to replenish their strength.But there is a rule that they are not allowed to sit down, they can only stand and eat.

This order is very strange, why don't you let them sit down, how can you rest if you don't sit down.

"Do you think it's the first time for the county lieutenant to lead troops? How can anyone not allow people to sit down and rest? It's better not to rest." Although Hu Ergou wanted to sit down very much, but seeing that no one around him dared to sit down, he Just stand and eat.

The sky gradually cleared up, and the rain became much lighter.The sun shines through the thick clouds and struggles to hit the ground.

The dry rations of the Jin army were very simple, three pieces of dry biscuits and one piece of salted mutton. In addition, each soldier carried a bamboo tube filled with clean water.In the words of the soldiers themselves, stones are easier to bite than cakes in their hands.

"What do you know, young man, the county lieutenant wants to march quickly."

An old soldier broke open the rock-hard cake in his hand, opened the bamboo tube and put it in, shook it casually, and then drank it down.However, it would be difficult for the clear water to melt the flatbread for a while, so the old soldier chewed the flatbread with great effort, and from time to time tore off a piece or two of shredded mutton and stuffed it into his mouth to taste the saltiness.

Seeing that the person who spoke was an old soldier, Hu Ergou also asked humbly: "What do you say, brother?"

The old pawn swallowed his dry food, took another sip of water, and explained: "We walked all night last night, and everyone is very tired now. If you are asked to sit down, you probably won't be able to get up after half an hour."

"According to my brother, we still have to hurry?" A young soldier asked.

The old pawn nodded, "It should be like this. According to this way of walking, I guess it should be after entering Donglai County that the county lieutenant will let us stop and rest."

The chat of several people was quickly interrupted, and a soldier on horseback shouted: "Everyone pack up and keep up with the team!"

At the front of the team, a main flag was flying, with the word "Ginger" embroidered on it.

Jiang Chengxiao was at the forefront of the team. His whole body was already wet by the heavy rain last night. The Mingguang Armor was not an airtight armor. The rain seeped in from the joints of his body, and now he felt a chill rushing around his body.

Looking back, he couldn't help but sigh.This is the shortcoming of the local government soldiers. Because they are only similar to "militia", they are not at all comparable to the soldiers of the Twelve Guards.After marching in a hurry all night, they only walked more than ten miles, maybe it was also due to the weather.

He thought so comfortingly.

"I ordered the whole army to speed up and arrive at Zichuan County to rest before dark." Jiang Chengxiao gave the order expressionlessly. Although they were in Qi County and had not yet arrived in Donglai County where the mob was, they could choose the city where they camped. Definitely not in the wild.

"Yes!"

"What did you say, Jiang Chengxiao led his army away last night?" Cui Yunxiang stared at Ge Huan, he didn't know where to put his hands, and then his face changed from surprise to anger.

"Are you kidding me?" Cui Yunxiang's voice was gloomy and terrifying, "5000 people marched, you didn't notice such a big movement?"

Ge Huan also knew that Cui Yunxiang was really furious this time, but he still bit the bullet and said: "The heavy rain last night covered up their voices, so I went there early the next morning, only to find that the barracks were empty, and neither did he." Say hello to me in advance."

"Why did he greet you in advance?" Cui Yunxiang sneered suddenly, "Can you, the sheriff, stay out of such a big incident in Qi County!"

"Damn it, I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it!"

There was one thing he didn't notice at first, and that was Ge Huan, the sheriff.Logically speaking, with such a big incident happening in Qi County, it is impossible for the county guard to live in peace. Even if it is a simple charge of "covering up", Ge Huan is now in jail.

But they didn't. The officials of Qi County arrested many people, but they didn't move Ge Huan.He has always ignored this point. Now that he thinks about it, Ge Huan is very likely to be the bait left by the other party, which is specially used for fishing.

And I am that fish!
He has now thought of a terrible fact, that is, Jiang Chengxiao probably sent someone to monitor Ge Huan secretly, and even himself was followed and monitored by the other party because of his careless contact with Ge Huan.

If so, then he made a sudden march last night
"Not good!" Cui Yunxiang turned pale, and immediately ordered: "Quick, prepare some fast horses for me, immediately!"

In the end, his voice became thinner, and his entire face distorted.Cui Yunxiang couldn't imagine the consequences if Jiang Chengxiao found out about Uncle Qi.That would not be something he could bear, nor would he be able to bear it.

Although Ge Huan didn't know what happened, but looking at Cui Yunxiang's frightened look, he knew that even if something serious happened, he didn't dare to neglect, so he turned around and went down to make arrangements.

After Ge Huan left, the guards immediately stopped Cui Yunxiang, "Mr. Lang, you can't go!"

Cui Yunxiang glared angrily, "Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know the consequences of this incident?"

He was tricked, he shouldn't underestimate that son of King Zhao, his every move is likely to be investigated deeply by the other party, otherwise he would never have marched quietly last night, he must have discovered something!
The guard looked at Cui Yunxiang firmly, "Mr. Lang, the army has already set off. What can we do if we catch up at this time? If the whereabouts of Mr. Lang are exposed there, I'm afraid it will be even more dangerous!"

"Don't follow the official road, take the side road!"

Facing Cui Yunxiang who was still stubborn, the guard tried to persuade him again: "Mr. Qi, Mr. Qi is far more resourceful than ordinary people. Even if he can't resist King Zhao's son, I believe it's okay for him to get away. Besides, Mr. Qi has been passed on three times. Master Qi must have received the letter."

Hearing this, Cui Yunxiang's face became cloudy and uncertain, and he walked back and forth in the house with his hands behind his back.After a long while, he finally said: "I know you're right, but the problem now is that I don't see Uncle Qi with my own eyes. I'm worried!"

How can he rest assured that if Cui Qi is caught by Jiang Chengxiao in Donglai County, it will not be a disaster for Cui Qi alone, it will be a disaster for the entire Qinghe Cui family!
At this time, another guard said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zheng's Mr. Lang will come over in a short time, and you can make an excuse to go with him then."

Yes, how could such a simple method be forgotten.Zheng Ruyi originally came here with Jiang Chengxiao, so it is reasonable to follow him to Donglai County this time, and he can also take this opportunity to confirm Uncle Qi's condition.

He was so impatient, he was a little nervous when he heard such news.It seems that I still need to be calm, and I haven't achieved what my ancestors said, "every major event is calm".
