Chapter 977
It is impossible to camp outside in this weather. After passing Datong, I woke up and asked to find a station to rest.
"We only need stoves and firewood to cook our own meals."
Xin Laoqi went to negotiate with the inn and then asked someone to cook.
Fang Xing stood in the yard of the inn, looking at the steep cliff opposite. He turned around and was also backing the mountain, but it was a little wet, and the mountain walls were full of vegetation and trees.
And between the two mountains is the post station, and the road is in front of the post station.
"A good place, easy to defend but difficult to attack!"
Fang Xing evaluated the location of this inn with a military perspective. There were a lot of food, grass and horses stored here, which could be transported at any time.
"Just one thousand people need to defend, this path can block a hundred thousand army!"
Xin Laoqi always likes killing and battle formations. Peaceful days are a torment for him.
Fang Xing turned sideways and said, "It's a good life not to fight. At least Ximei won't worry that you've found a concubine outside. Last time I remember what she said when she threatened you?"
Xin Laoqi scratched his head and said, "That woman said she wanted to drown the tiger's head, and then she hanged her, causing the Xin family to cut off the incense."
Xin Laoqi's son Hutou was born the year before yesterday. At this point, Ximei felt that she had made great contributions to the Xin family, which made Xin Laoqi look even more and more nervous.
At this time, Zuo Wei also came out. He moved his hands and walked closer and said, "Brother, why should we go to Datong? It's much faster to go to the Zhending line!"
Fang Xing shook his head and said, "Zhu Jihui is in Taiyuan. It has been a while since he took over as King Jin. He must have set up his eyes and ears from the front line from the capital to Taiyuan. If we go really to set this line, you don't think about getting out of the carriage. You have to pull all the shit and urine in the carriage!"
Zuo Wei gritted her teeth and said, "As long as the old master can be saved, Zuo Wei is willing to suffer."
Fang Xing said lightly: "But I won't take risks for this!"
Once discovered, no one knows what Zhu Jihui will react. If this trip fails and Lao Zhu's violent temper breaks out, Fang Xing feels that he still can't stand it.
"I understand, thank you Xing and Bo."
Zuo Wei bowed and bowed, then entered the room.
Huang Zhong was observing him and came over after he left and said, "Brother, this person seems to be loyal to Zhu Ji-hui, and he has to be careful of his impulsive and bad things."
Fang Xing shook his head: "He dared not. Zhu Jihui was like a frightened bird at this time. If he mistakenly thought we were going to deal with him, do you believe it or not? He dared to struggle with his troops and flee to the grassland immediately!"
Huang Zhong said cautiously: "Master, if this is the case, Your Majesty may take his anger on you!"
"Your Majesty always sends me to do these secret matters. To be honest, I'm not happy."
Huang Zhong smiled and said, "But this is also the trust Your Majesty has in you. Otherwise, many civil servants and generals in the capital, why did Your Majesty just order your general!"
"Master, it's time to eat."
Fang Xing turned around and said, "Let's go, have a break after dinner."
Dinner is very simple, make soup with meat and pancakes.
The people at the station smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but be curious about the team.
"Sir, the food they cook is so delicious!"
A postman said enviously.
The official shouted, "That's someone else's ability. If you care more about food, how could those nobles from the past be stingy with rewards?"
The postman smiled dryly and said, "Sir, where do you think they are going?"
The Yicheng shook his head and narrowed his eyes and said, "They are walking close to the side walls. Unless they go to Yan/An Mansion, they are going to Yan/An Mansion... I haven't heard of any movement recently..."
This team of people looked elite and were very vigilant, which means that they had important figures on this trip.
The station itself comes with the task of escorting important people and sending important letters, so the analysis of the postmaster is very reliable.
So there is a dragon and a snake in the grassland. A small postmaster actually analyzed the purpose of Fang Xing and his party in two seconds. If he knew about it, he didn't know whether to silence or recruit him.
The postman bowed and said, "Sir, it's true that the adults are, and as soon as he said this, the young one will understand immediately."
...
In the early morning, Fang Xing got up and went outside. Seeing that the soldiers were packing and people were cooking in the kitchen, he nodded to wash.
In the yard, the official yawned out and saw Fang Xing, and quickly saluted: "Brother, the dew in the mountains is heavy, you can set off so early..."
Fang Xing nodded and said, "My unit is full of cavalry, no obstacle!"
When the postmaster saw that Fang Xing was unwilling to talk, he quickly kicked the postmasters and asked them to help clean up.
This Xing and Bo are a new high in the dynasty. If he goes back and says something messy, his position will be unstable.
The postmen complained that they had become the coolies who had been cursing to the powerful and unrestrained by their superiors. They passed by reluctantly, but were stopped by Xin Laoqi.
"Our department doesn't need help, thank you all."
After Fang Xing's training, Xin Laoqi now knows to be more tactful. If it were the case before, it would have been a tough sentence, "No need!"
The air in the mountains is really good, so good that I feel like I am in the primeval forest.
The birds chirped, and the sound seemed to be on the opposite cliff. Fang Xing couldn't help but step out of the station and stood in the middle of the road and looked up.
On the 90-degree rock wall, there are plants waiting for the breath of spring. The trees rooted in the rock wall make people feel awe of life at a glance.
Fang Xing walked forward almost, walked to the bottom of the rock wall and found a thin stream of water, and the source of water came from the underground.
Walk a short walk on the left, and there is a small pool here. The water in the pond is clear. Under the slight dawn, it seems like the jade liquid fluctuates, making people want to take a sip when they see it.
Wash your hands downstream of the pool, Fang Xing held it with his hands and drank a few sips of the pool water, feeling sweet and refreshed.
"Good water!"
Fang Xing poured water on his face and felt his spirits very excited.
"My uncle, you can't drink the water outside indiscriminately, some are poisonous!"
Fang Xing wiped his face with unfulfilled intentions: "Look here there are traces of rice washing and vegetables washing, so it must be drinkable."
Huang Zhong said embarrassedly: "I'm not sure what to do." Then Huang Zhong also tried it, praising the benefits of this water.
The Yicheng kept watching the actions of the two people at the door. When they came back, they boasted: "Master, the pool of water is very famous. When people coming and going, they would change all the water on their bodies before leaving. They all said they had never drunk such good water."
Fang Xing nodded: "It's good, and there is water here, so you don't have to worry even if you are surrounded. It's a good place!"
When the official secretary heard Fang Xing's tone, he felt a big stone in his heart and sighed: "That is, you are kind, you are kind. Those nobles pass by here to rest, and shout to the lower officials and others like slaves."
Fang Xing smiled and didn't answer this.
Of course, those noble people will not give them a good face. Even if the noble people's families pass by, they are domineering to the people at these post stations. If they are not satisfied, they will turn around and complain.
So the work at the post station is very tiring and you have to pretend to be a grandson.
By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the life of the post station was even more difficult, and the group of gentlemen in the court were helpless in the face of the terrible financial situation, so they finally cut off their consumption everywhere, and Li Zicheng was one of the members who were cut.
