Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 557
It is more than [-] miles from the capital to Guihua.Although it took Cao Yong and his party two days to reach Zhangjiakou, their speed slowed down when they got outside the mouth.

Zhangjiakou is more than 900 miles away from Guihua, and there are [-] post stations every [-] to [-] miles.

Not to mention the long distance between them, the scale of this post station is also incomparable with that in Kouchi.

The post station here is jointly managed by the Ministry of War and the Lifan Academy, but most of the envoys are native Mongolians.Different from the post station in the mouth, the post station here is mainly for the convenience of conveying military information and transporting supplies.

Not to mention that the place is simple and small, the key is the lack of horses, each post station has only a dozen horses, and not all of them can be used.The rest of the animals are camels.

There are fifty or sixty camels in each station.

The road conditions here are not good either. The vast and endless grassland can only be seen from the traces of the wheels.

Fortunately, it is not the rainy season, otherwise, the delay on the road will be longer.

Because Cao Yong and the others could only change half of the horses at the post station each time, they were not as fast as in the mouth. They traveled more than 900 miles and took eight days to arrive.

When the group arrived at Guihua City, it was already the afternoon of the first day of May.

The moment he saw the city wall of Guihua, Yiduri almost burst into tears with excitement.

Along the way, he gritted his teeth and persevered. Although the first half of the pull was for the sake of saving face, he didn't dare to rest later.

Afraid that after he rested, he would never want to ride a horse again, so he gritted his teeth until now.

The guards were also filled with joy, among other things, when they arrived here, the Eight Banners of the Right Guards were stationed, so they could buy horses for the road no matter what.

In the past few days, they have been worn out by the bad horses in the station along the way.

Now, I really have nothing else to ask, I just want this ride to be more enjoyable.Otherwise, it would be really depressing to spend more time on horseback every day.

Yiduli arrived at the destination, but Cao Yong and others only completed one-third of their trip.

The residence of the Great Lama of Hutuktu is in Urge, Central Banner of the Tuxietu Khan, which is nearly [-] miles away from naturalization.

When they arrived at Guihua City, Cao Yong and the others got a message.

Two days ago, the naturalized general Fei Yanggu took some of the Right Guard Eight Banners soldiers and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers and set off for Tuihe to defend against the enemy.

In addition, from the general's mansion, everyone also learned that on April 23, the emperor decreed to transfer Heilongjiang and Karaqin to naturalization and gather as the third route to the northwest.

This is already a gesture of war, so the purpose of Cao Yong and his group seems a little funny.

The guards were quite passionate, and amidst their sighs, they regretted not being able to serve in General Fei Yanggu's account.

Cao Yong's heart is a little uncertain, and he doesn't know if history has changed. The war in the northwest that was originally in the last years of Kangxi was moved to this time.If there is still loud thunder and little rain, this "vigorous" battle will come to an end.

This Urge is the boundary of Outer Mongolia, and the influence of the imperial court there is very weak.

According to the rules, the princes at the border of Inner Mongolia are regarded as Inner Fans, while Outer Mongolia is the Outer Fans.The imperial court can designate pastures in Inner Mongolia, but rarely interferes in Outer Mongolia.

Nalan Fusen took the Kangxi letter and transferred fifty Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers from the general's mansion.

From naturalization to Urge, there are occasional post stations in the middle, and they are not as large as before.

There are about seventy people in this line, all of whom are selected from the Eight Banners Right Guards with top-quality gelding horses, two horses and two saddles, for transfer on the road.

The grassland in May does not have the scorching heat of early summer, but only verdant green and boundless flowers.

The blue sky, white clouds, green land, and the white river are like gentle belts, spreading silver light between the sky and the earth.

Cao Yong's state of mind also changes day by day.

People living in this world are the most insignificant, but they are born to think that they are the "leader of all spirits" and want to control the world.

In my heart, although I don't have an earth-shattering heart, I still want to take care of my business and work hard for the well-being of my family and my future comfortable life.

"A grain of sand is a world, a flower is a heaven. Hold infinity in your palm, and a moment is eternity." It seems that I value the result too much, but ignore the scenery along the way.

Impetuous, sophisticated, and lost the calmness of the past.

Is it because I want to ask for more, care more, and become a little greedy?

Cao Yong, who was galloping on horseback, couldn't help introspecting. He said that he wanted to go out with his wife, but he couldn't do it for many years; You have to honor your parents a lot, but you have to spend a lot of time talking every day.

I seem to be busy, and I seem to be lazy, so day after day, I muddle through the days.

How many days can there be in one's life, although one's own destiny is not according to the history, he died before his son was born, but who can bless himself that he will live a long life?
Birth, old age, sickness and death, the way of nature, how can the choice of people's hearts be changed.

Of course, you can't complain and live with trepidation all the time; but you can't let it go and don't plan for the future.

It is really troublesome to be born in the secular world. If you can fly freely in the sky like this goshawk and run freely on the grassland like this gray wolf, how pleasant it would be.

When Cao Yong discovered the change in himself, he couldn't help being stunned. Could it be that because he was going to the residence of the great lama, he also became Buddhist-minded?
Although compared with the nature of this world, the secular world of mortals makes people feel exhausted, but only when they are thousands of miles away from their families can they appreciate the preciousness of family affection.

Sometimes, Cao Yong only felt that he was so funny.

It's really a contradictory idea. I feel tired in my heart because of the bondage of family affection, but also I am attached to the warmth given by this kind of family, so that I am no longer lonely in my heart.

Human nature is so selfish and hypocritical.

Along the way, Cao Yong was not the only one who changed, even the ten bodyguards, who also went to the capital, became restrained from their arrogance when they went to the capital.

From complaining about the poor food at the inn at the beginning, to now everyone can shoot gazelle and hares at any time, peel them directly, roast half-cooked ones, and eat half full.

Not to mention gazelle, hare, or prairie wolf, these guards were itchy when they saw it, and wanted to try their skills.

If it weren't for the dozens of Mongolian soldiers, everyone would have done it long ago.

As Shi Yun said, after taking this trip, I didn't learn anything else. Those who peeled the skin and bones were considered to have some skills.Of course, there is no need to talk about the riding skills on the horse.

He is Yiduli's nephew and the youngest among the guards.

This year is only the [-]th or [-]th, and the ability to open one's mouth is the best. Whenever he takes a nap on the way, he can hear him talking non-stop, "baa", "baa", and he never has a moment to spare.

Seeing Xiaoman, he was so surprised that during a nap, he couldn't help asking Nalan Fusen, "Master Fu, is this also the case when Lord Yun is on duty?"

In one sentence, the guards all laughed.

Although their identities are different, these bodyguards are the sons of the rich and powerful, and Xiao Man is just a servant of the Cao family, but they have become familiar with each other during this journey, and they are less restrained when speaking.

Shi Yun smiled and "coughed", folded his arms and said, "Shanren has his own tricks. You are a child, why ask this?"

Among the crowd, he is obviously the youngest, but he refuses to admit it.

Because Xiao Man has a baby face and is not much older than him, he treats him like a child.

Xiao Man was upset when he heard this, but because he knew that Shi Yun had a strong mouth and he didn't take advantage of it by talking back, he didn't answer.

Nalan Fusen looked at Shiyun with a smile, and then at Cao Yong next to him.

When Cao Yong first entered Beijing, he was only Shi Yun's age, but he acted prudently, and he refused to say more in the first half of a sentence.

Seeing that Nalan Fusen didn't answer, He Shan smiled and said, "Xiao Man, Uncle Yun's clever trick was obtained from the mountains, and the secret is two hickory nuts. When he was on duty, he took the mountain Put the walnuts in your mouth, and two hours will pass.”

Xiaoman was stunned when he heard the words, Cao Yong couldn't help but look at Shiyun after hearing this.

Even if he is working in front of the imperial court, he can still retain this innocence and romance. Is it because of his simple nature, or is it because his parents are negligent in discipline?

Shi Yun had already laughed "hehe", took out two thumb-sized hickory nuts from his purse, played with them and said, "This is a precious thing, it can't be said to be a door god, but it can also be the second general of the door! "

Everyone watched him play tricks, and they all laughed "haha", and the sound was heard far away in this empty grassland...

Although the big guy looked a lot darker due to the wind and sun every day, but the initial exhaustion gradually disappeared, and his physical strength had increased.

Everyone in this line of work is young and strong, and as their physical strength gradually increases, they become more energetic.

As the saying goes, if you stay in the military camp for three years, a sow is better than Diaochan.

During this conversation, the big guys made more and more dirty jokes.

Occasionally, when passing by the Mongolian herdsmen's house, everyone looked at the Mongolian woman and their eyes lit up.If it weren't for the consideration of being in front of others, I'm afraid that some people would have been unbearable and would have stepped forward with their belts on their belts.

When Cao Yong saw it, he couldn't help being vigilant in his heart. He told Nalan Fusen that secretly increasing the daily journey made these people have no energy to think about it.

But blocking is worse than sparse. When this young man thinks of women, can he be banned if he wants to?

In a few days, I passed a resident of Khalkha County King. This is a relatively prosperous town, and there are also paved markets on both sides of the street.

I heard that it was the imperial envoy who passed by here, and the palace was very attentive. The steward of the county palace came out to greet Cao Yong and his party in person.

At night, in addition to eating roasted whole lamb, hand-meat meat, and kumiss, it is inevitable that docile Mongolian female slaves will be served to entertain the guests.

Seeing that those people were really uncomfortable, Nalan Fusen and Cao Yong just turned a blind eye and closed their eyes, and didn't say any more.

Because they will continue on their way tomorrow, Cao Yong and Nalan Fusen went back to the guest room after eating food and wine.

The young servants of Cao's family were all there, and there were four remaining imperial guards. They all lined up and placed guards around Cao Yong's bedroom.

Among the remaining four guards, Shi Yun was impressively listed.

Nalan Fusen looked at it, and was quite surprised. This kid was the most honest guy who was clamoring for women before. Why is he not honest now?
Shi Yun was embarrassed and didn't speak.

He Shan laughed beside him and said, "Is the head also strange? I was about to ask this kid, is it because he is so young that no one has been put in his room to serve him?"

Shi Yun's face turned red when he was told, he puffed out his chest, and said with a firm mouth: "Who is tender, I can't bear the smell of sheep!"

But He Shan didn't believe it, and joked: "Is it because I can't stand the smell of sheep, or is I thinking about others? What's the matter, can't I forget the one I met during the Lantern Festival? I haven't even seen the face, and I don't know if I have it." What's the point of thinking about it? Even if you meet again, you won't recognize it."

"Why can't I recognize it?" Shi Yun was somewhat unconvinced: "Although I was drunk, I heard her voice."

When Cao Yong and Nalan Fusen heard it, there was an allusion in it.

It turned out that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shiyun happened to catch up with Xiumu, and was dragged out to eat and drink by some old friends.I wanted to have a good time, so I left a young servant by my side to wait on me.

When he came back, he was drunk and urinated on the road, looking for a solution, he was in a daze, so he walked away from the boy.

But he was so drunk that he slid off the horse, not to mention, when the night wind blew, Shi Yun was already groggy and powerless.

The hooligans saw that he was dressed neatly, and took him off into the alley, stripping him clean except for his obscene pants.

Shi Yun knew it in his heart, but he couldn't move his body because he ate too much wine.

This fifteenth day has not yet melted, and there is still snow on the side of the road. Shi Yun doesn't know if he is drunk or cold, so he fell asleep in a daze.

When I was saving time, I was already wrapped in clothes, and I heard a woman say: "After all, it's a life. Send him to the nearest inn and let him rest for a night. In addition to paying for one night's accommodation, there is no need to leave any money. It's just drunk." If you have hands and feet, you won’t die of cold and hunger for nothing after waking up, so don’t waste your money.”

Then I heard another female voice praying: "Girl, it's pitiful to see that he is not very old. Otherwise, he will be taken in as a servant in our house?"

The woman before said: "There are countless poor people in this world, who can save whom? Life and death are up to fate, no one in this world is a Bodhisattva..."

Although the woman's voice was cold, Shi Yun was still grateful for what she said next.

"Go to the pawn shop and buy an old leather jacket for him. It's warm and not too eye-catching. It's the cheapest..." The woman casually ordered...

Shi Yun recalled the old memories, and said with a bit of heroism and stubbornness: "The kindness of a drop of water is still reciprocated by the spring. To me, it is already a life-saving grace. If I don't want to repay, then I am not as good as a beast? It is My mother, I also want to thank that girl..."

Beijing, Little Black Tiger Alley.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." Han Jiangshi covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and sneezed several times in a row, tears came out, and he felt his nose was sore and uncomfortable.

Seeing Xiaoxi, she hurriedly searched for a clean handkerchief and handed it over, worried: "Miss, are you tired? Let's rest early today. If you catch a cold in this hot summer, you will suffer!"

Han Jiangshi took the clean veil, wiped away his tears and nose, shook his head and said, "It's all right, we're about to finish the account reconciliation."

Speaking of this, she thought of something, and said: "Tomorrow's sacrifice is all ready, and the funeral of the third master of the Cao family is indispensable..."
