From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 66

The next day, just after midnight, an ordinary and no longer ordinary carriage arrived at the gate of the city.The man driving the car showed a token in the shape of a plum blossom, and the guards took a look at it and opened the side door respectfully.Stepping aside, he immediately closed the side door again after the carriage passed by.

The night was full of silence, and the cold moonlight filled the ground. As soon as the carriage left the city gate, it quickly walked towards the official road.

In the small woods three miles away, Mei Jinze's deputy general and entourage, Du Quan, had been waiting for a long time with [-] elite soldiers.Although Mei Xin didn't say anything to her brother when she returned to Beijing this time, Mei Jinze was worried that she would be bullied, so that on the day she decided to let her go, she picked [-] elite soldiers from the army to go back to Beijing with her overnight.

These three hundred elite soldiers are not ordinary elite soldiers in the Mei family army, but elite soldiers out of ten elite soldiers with one enemy.Some of them are sharp archers, who can shoot arrows with a hundred steps without fail, while others are scouts, who are best at scouting and inquiring about news.There are specializations in the field of surgery, and different divisions of labor. Mei Jinze heard An Qi say that the capital is a dragon's lake and a tiger's den, a place more terrifying than the battlefield, so he allocated all the troops in the barracks.

Fearing that her sister would suffer, Mei Jinze was also worried.If it wasn't for his father's absence, and Liangzhou Nineteenth City needed someone to sit in town, he would definitely go back with his sister.

Brother and sister have been siblings for many years, although they were not born to the same mother, he watched Mei Xin grow up, and they have never been separated from each other in the past ten years, and he has never let his sister go to places as far away as the capital.

It is too conspicuous for the general to travel with so many people. At first, Mei Xin was very opposed to it, saying that a hundred elite soldiers would be enough.Mei Jinze disagreed, mainly because there were really too many ghosts and monsters in Prince Liang's Mansion.Therefore, if she doesn't bring more people back, I'm afraid people will take advantage of the loopholes.

Thinking of the current situation of Prince Liang's Mansion and considering that she was going to rob, Mei Xin agreed after careful consideration.As a result, the original one hundred elite soldiers became the three hundred elite soldiers in front of us.

Three hundred people plus three hundred war horses should have made a lot of noise, but because they were all well-trained, they didn't make any noise standing in the woods.Not only was there no sound at all, but it was very quiet, with the sound of a needle falling.

The sound of the wheels approaching from far away, when they stopped, everyone saluted and shouted in unison: "Young General!"

The voice was not loud, but there was a tacit understanding, as if it had been discussed in advance, and the tone was also very respectful.

Opening the curtain, Mei Xin came out of the carriage, nodded to everyone to signal them to get up, she looked at Du Quan and said, "Thank you for your hard work, are you all ready?"

While talking, Mei Xin got off the carriage and looked around.

The journey was far away and she was pregnant, Mei Xin didn't dare to be careless for a moment, and there were so many people and things to bring, she ordered Du Quan to prepare two more carriages.

Cupping his hands and saluting, Du Quan reported truthfully, "Everything is ready, and we can start our journey only after the Major General gives an order."

Seeing two unattractive but very large carriages parked not far away, Mei Xin nodded and said, "It's getting late, let's go."

In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Mei Xin decided to go out at night, rest during the day and travel at night.Therefore, she has to rush to the first resting place before dawn tomorrow.

"Yes, the carriage ordered by the major general has been built, please get on the carriage, major general." Du Quan led the way by raising his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Mei Xin glanced back at Luo Qiu, motioned her to move all the things on the carriage, and then followed Du Quan to leave first.

The carriage was newly customized according to Mei Xin's request, and the hardest black wood was used.The first day she woke up, she knew she was going to Beijing, and in order not to suffer from the bumps on the road, she found the best horse-drawn carriage master in the nineteenth city of Liangzhou.

Of course, it's not as good-looking as the carriages in the capital, but the most important thing is that the black wood is so hard that it can't be cut with a knife or an axe, and a sharp arrow can't pierce it.Due to the weight of the black wood, the masters tried every means to absorb the shock, so the large carriage was smooth, stable and comfortable on the road.

"According to the order of the major general, a hidden compartment was made inside, which can not only put the stove but also hold food. Major general, go in and have a look." When he went to pick up the carriage, Du Quan looked inside and out, and found it novel. I specifically asked the master who made the carriage.Knowing that the large and small grids have their own uses, and there is a row of feathered arrows underneath, he is very happy.

The major general is the jewel in the palm of the great general, with many pairs of eyes staring at him both openly and secretly.This time I have to be careful when I return to Beijing, and I have to put up 12 points of energy along the way.And if you encounter an assassin on the way, this carriage can withstand it for a while.So, it doesn't look like much from the outside, but there are secrets hidden inside.

In the previous life, she stayed in the capital for several years and saw all kinds of carriages. In order not to be punished on the way back, she gathered the directors of various families.It had the hardwood she wanted and the comfort of a rich man's carriage.Of course, it was mainly because she couldn't ride a horse, and she was afraid that something might happen to the child in her belly.Therefore, this carriage is considered a luxury for Mei Xin.

Nodding as a response, Mei Xin lifted her feet and got on the carriage. Seeing that there were all the things inside, she couldn't help but asked in surprise, "You prepared these?"

Shaking his head instinctively, Du Quan hurriedly said: "No, it was prepared by Mrs. Che Su after picking it up at noon yesterday."

He is a big bastard and wants to prepare, but he doesn't understand.Especially thinking of what Yuan Muqiu said to the waiter in the shop yesterday when he was buying a quilt, his head hurts.Why silk is not warm in winter, you must use cotton, and there are several types of cotton, huh, his head will explode when he hears it.

Looking at the thick quilt and the furry white fox fur cloak Mei Xin felt warm in his heart.For more than ten years, the godmother has always done her best to take care of her, food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. She has thought of everything she didn't expect, and with these quilts, she will not be afraid of the cold even if she walks on the road.

"Understood, let's go!" Bending down into the carriage, Mei Xin took off her cloak, and Luo Qiu came in carrying three bundles before she could sit on the quilt with her slippers.

Seeing that the carriage was very spacious and could sleep people, she was overjoyed, she threw her burden and jumped on it and said, "The major general is amazing, this carriage is so practical. And those prepared by Mrs. Su are so comfortable."

Sitting down on her ass, she was very happy. At first she was worried that Mei Xin would not be able to ride a horse all the way, and it was uncomfortable to sit all the time. Now it is great to be able to lie down and sleep on the road.

Mei Xin laughed immediately when she saw that she liked it, took off her calfskin boots and put them aside, and said, "I specially ordered a large carriage. When you get tired from riding, you can come in and sleep. There are hidden compartments under the table in the middle of the side. , I guess the godmother has put food in there, so open it and see what's there."
