Chapter 561: Walking

It took more than 1,300 miles from the capital to the naturalized city. Although Cao Yong and his party took two days to arrive at Zhangjiakou, their speed slowed down after they reached the outside of their mouths.

There are more than 900 miles from Zhangjiakou to Naturalization, and a station is set up every 80 to 100 miles, with a total of eleven stations.

Not to mention the distance between the middle is far, the size of this station cannot be compared with that within the mouth.

The post station here is jointly managed by the Ministry of War and the Lifanyuan, but the post stations that are mostly Mongolian. Unlike the post stations within the mouth, the post station here is mainly for the convenience of conveying military information and transporting materials.

Not only is this place simple and small, the key is that there are not enough horses. Each station only has a dozen horses, and not all of them can be used. The remaining animals are camels.

There are fifty or sixty camels in each inn.

The road conditions here are not good, and the vast grassland can only be seen as the traces of the wheels.

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

Because Cao Yong and his team could only exchange half of the horses at the post station each time, they were not as fast as they were inside their mouths. They walked more than 900 miles and took eight days to arrive.

When this trip arrived in Guihua City, it was already the afternoon of the first day of May.

The moment I saw the naturalized city wall, Yiduli almost burst into tears.

Along the way, he gritted his teeth and held on. Although the first half was because of his face, he was afraid to rest afterwards.

He was afraid that after he rested, he would never want to ride a horse again, so he finally gritted his teeth and survived until now.

The guards were also happy. Not to mention anything else, when they arrived here, they were stationed with the Eight Banners of the Right Guards, so they could buy horses used on the road.

In the past few days, they have been beaten up by the bad horses in the inn along the way.

Now, there is nothing else to ask for, just to make this rider feel better. Otherwise, it would be depressing to be able to last longer on the horse's back every day.

When Yiduli arrived at his destination, Cao Yong and others only completed one-third of the itinerary.

The headquarters of the Great Lama of Hutuktu is in Urge, the central flag of the Tushetu Khan Kingdom, which is nearly 2,800 miles away from naturalization.

When we arrived at Guihua City, Cao Yong and the others received a piece of news.

Two days ago, naturalized general Fei Yanggu had already set off to Tuihe to defend the enemy with some of the Eight Banners soldiers from the Right Guard and the Eight Banners soldiers here.

In addition, from the General's Mansion, everyone also learned that on April 23, the emperor issued an order to transfer Heilongjiang and Kalaqin to naturalization and gather as the third army to the northwest.

This is already a war stance, and the purpose of Cao Yong's group is a bit funny.

The guards were quite passionate and sighed, and they regretted that they could not serve in front of General Fei Yanggu's tent.

Cao Yong was a little confused. He didn't know if history had changed. The war in the northwest of the late Kangxi years was moved to this time. It was still loud and the raindrops were small, and this "thunderous" war would be left unresolved.

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

According to the rules, the princes and princes in the Inner Mongolia area are considered inner vassals, while the outer vassals in Outer Mongolia are outer vassals. The imperial court can demarcate ranches in Inner Mongolia, but rarely intervene in Outer Mongolia.

Nalanfusen took Kangxi's handwriting 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.

In this industry, about seventy people were selected from the Eight Banners Right Guards, with two horses and two saddles for transfers on the road.

The grassland in May is not as hot as early summer, only verdant green and boundless sea of ​​flowers.

The blue sky, white clouds, green spaces, and white rivers are like gentle bands, radiating silver light between the sky and the earth.

Cao Yong's mood is also changing day by day.

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

Although I don’t have a earth-shaking heart, I also want to worry about managing my family and working hard for my future life.

"A sand and a world, a flower, a day of heaven. The palm of your hand is infinite, and the moment is eternity." I seem to attach too much importance to the results, but instead ignore the scenery along the way.

I became impetuous, sophisticated, and lost the calmness of the past.

Is it because I want to ask for more and care more in my heart, and am I a little greedy?

Cao Yong, who was riding on a horse and galloping on a horse, couldn't help but reflect on himself. He said that he wanted to travel with his wife, but he had not been able to travel for many years. He wanted to provide a good amusement venue for his children, and he always made excuses to delay and delay; he thought about being more filial to his parents, but he had a lot of skills in speaking every day.

I seemed to be busy, but I seemed to be lazy, and I just got through the days day after day.

How many days can there be in life? Although your destiny has not been as historical as it is, before the son was born, who can bless him to be a person who can live for a long time?

The way of birth, old age, sickness and death is not something that can be made more by human choices.

Although we cannot be sorrowful, and live trembling all the time; we cannot let go and do not plan the future.

Life is really a troublesome thing. It would be so pleasant if I could travel in the sky like this goshawk and run freely on the grassland like this gray wolf.

When Cao Yong discovered his changes, he couldn't help but be shocked. Could it be that he had become a Buddha-spirited because he was going to the Great Lama's headquarters?

Although compared with the nature of the world, the world makes people tired, only by being far away from their family members can we experience the value of family affection more and more.

Sometimes, Cao Yong only felt that he was funny.

It is a really contradictory idea. It feels tired due to family bondage in my heart, and is also attached to the warmth given by my family, making my heart no longer lonely.

Human nature is so selfish and hypocritical.

Along the way, not only Cao Yong changed, but also the ten guards also became restrained when they went to the capital during the day of racing.

From the initial complaint that the food at the station was not good, now everyone can hunt yellow sheep and rabbits at any time, peel them directly, and roast them half-baked, and they can also eat half-full.

Not to mention yellow sheep, 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 taken action long ago.

As Shi Yun said, after walking this trip, those who didn’t learn anything else and had some skills to peel and remove bones. Of course, there is no need to say anything about riding kung fu.

He is the nephew of Iduli, the youngest of the guards.

This year, it's only sixteen or seventeen. The most powerful thing is to open your mouth. Whenever you take a nap on the way, you will hear him "say" and "say" keep talking nonstop, and there is no time to be free.

When Xiaoman saw this, he was so surprised that during a nap, he couldn't help but ask Nalan Fusen: "Master Fu, is this the same when Mr. Yun was on the job?"

A word made the guards laugh.

Although their identities are different, these guards are all powerful and noble children, and Xiaoman is just a servant from the Cao family, but as he gets familiar with the journey, he becomes less restrained in his words.

Shi Yun smiled and coughed, hugged his arms and said, "The mountain man has his own tricks. You are a child, what do you do when you are a child?"

Among all the people, he was obviously the youngest, but he refused to admit it.

Because Xiaoman has a baby face and is not much older than him, he is treated as a small one.

Xiaoman was resentful when he heard this, but because he knew that Shi Yun had such a powerful mouth and he didn't take advantage of him, he refused to respond.

Nalanfusen smiled and looked at Shi Yun, then looked at Cao Yong next to him.

When Cao Yong first entered the capital, he was only at the age of Shi Yun, but he was steady and refused to say much in the first half of the sentence.

Seeing that Nalanfusson did not answer, Heshan smiled and said, "Xiaoman, Mr. Yun's trick was exchanged for the mountain. The secret is two pecans. When he was on duty, he stuffed the pecan into his mouth, and after two hours, it would pass."

Xiaoman was shocked when he heard this. When Cao Yong heard it, he couldn't help looking at Shi Yun.

Not only can you work in front of the emperor, but you can still retain this innocent and romance, is it a simple nature, or is it a relative of your family neglecting discipline?

Shi Yun had already laughed out loud, took out two thumb-sized pecans from his purse, and played with it, "This is a treasure, it cannot be said to be a door god, but it can also be the second general who can hold the door!"

Everyone was laughing at him, and the sound was far from being heard in this empty grassland...

Although everyone looks a lot darker because of the wind and sun every day, the initial fatigue gradually faded away, and their physical strength has increased a lot compared to the past.

In this industry, they are all young and strong, and after they gradually gained strength, they became a little energetic.

As the saying goes, stay in the military camp for three years, and the sows are as good as Diao Chan.

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

Occasionally, when passing by the Mongolian herdsmen's house, everyone's eyes shine when they look at Mongolian women. If they weren't considering the fact that they were in front of others, they would probably not be able to stand it and would have to hang their belts forward.

When Cao Yong saw this, he couldn't help but be alert and told Nalanfusen that the daily journey would be increased secretly, which made these people not have the energy to think about it.

But it is better to be dispersed than to be blocked. When this young man thinks of women, how can he ban it just by wanting to?

A few days later, I passed by the Khalkha County Prince's garrison, which was a relatively prosperous town and there were also some shops on both sides of the street.

I heard that it was the imperial envoy of the court who passed by here, and the royal palace was very attentive. The manager of the county prince's mansion came out to greet him in person and welcomed Cao Yong and his party to the royal palace to entertain him.

That night, besides roasting whole lamb, hand-held meat, horse milk and wine, a docile Mongolian slave was indispensable.

Seeing that those people were so uncomfortable, Nalanfusen and Cao Yong turned a blind eye and did not talk anymore.

Since we had to continue our journey tomorrow, Cao Yong and Nalanfusson had a drink and returned to the guest room.

The servants of the Cao family were all there, and the four guards in front of the imperial court were all arranged in squads and guards were placed around Cao Yong's bedroom.

Among the remaining four guards, Shi Yun was listed.

Nalanfusson saw it and was quite surprised. This kid had been yelling to ask for the most joyful thing a woman wanted. Why is he no longer honest now?

Shi Yun was embarrassed and didn't say anything.

He Shan smiled and said, "I think my head is strange, right? I was about to ask this kid, because he was so tender, he didn't put someone in his room to serve him?"

Shi Yun's face turned red, his chest was thrusting, and said with a hard mouth: "Who is tender, I can't stand the smell of sheep!"
