Chen Xidao: "Song Deputy Qianhu refused to believe it, so there was nothing he could do. However, it would be better to rush to Datong Prefecture City in one go. If you have hot water, you can take a good bath and eat hot soup and hot rice. It would be better than trembling in the wilderness."

"If you don't have to worry about ten thousand, just be afraid of one. If the Tatars really come, even if they are just dozens of Tatar cavalry, we will not be able to fight in our current state. At that time, we will really be lonely ghosts in the wilderness."

Song Shu was just a warrior. Even though he was a little sophisticated and treacherous, his ideas were relatively simple. After Chen Xi said this, he couldn't help but fight a cold war.

Song Shu said: "Is Lord Shen exaggerating?"

"Whether it is exaggerated, I will know when I arrive at Datong Mansion. I wonder if Deputy Qianhu Song has the courage to try it?" Chen Xi's face was cold. Song Shu finally gritted his teeth and decided to continue moving forward.

It is not impossible to arrest Shenxi, but he was afraid that what Chenxi said was true. After passing the Gaoshanwei, he found that the surrounding area of ​​the official road was too desolate, and all the villages along the way were empty. After asking the postman passing by, he realized that this was the result of repeated robbery by the Tatars.

If you really encounter the Tatars accidentally, even if you just encounter a small team, it will be very troublesome.

The escort this time was a weapon, and it was a Flang machine cannon cast by Qinshi.

Song Shu did not intend to fight against the barbaric Tatars. What he thought was that if the Tatars really came, I would definitely run away with people. But if they were only escaping but they lost the cannons they were escorted back to the capital for justice. Even if Zhang Heling helped to speak, it would be useless because the Folang machine cannon was of great importance. If the Tatars were taken away and successfully imitated, it would be like a disaster for the Ming army guarding the city.

Song Shu went to ask Chen Xi for instructions, but as soon as he returned, he was surrounded by his brothers below: "How is it, does Lord Shen agree to rest?"

"disagree!"

Song Shuban raised his face and replied.

"Damn, don't take my life seriously. He is lying comfortably in the carriage, but we have to endure the torture of wind, frost, rain and snow outside! Tie him!"

Veterans have a generally irritable temper... I'm almost frozen to death, no matter if you are a bad guy?

Song Shu raised his hand and said, "Master Shen said that the Tatars were invading the territory, and this last journey was the most dangerous. If we were traveling during the day, we would encounter the Tatars' cavalry."

"It's not that coincidental, right? It must be a scare. Who have I ever been afraid of in the Beijing camp?"

The officers and soldiers were not convinced, but their momentum was always weak. They said they were not afraid of the Tatars. But it was a big deal that could have the courage to go up and fight to the death. The soldiers in the Beijing camp were generally treated better. In their eyes, the army was just a bunny raised by stepmothers. If they wanted to fight to the death, they should let the border army go. The people in the Beijing camp just need to stay in the rear and share their military achievements.

"Stay on."

Song Shu's face was full of annoyance. He always thought that he was so strong that the young man Chen Xi was so tight, but in the past two days he suddenly felt that he had nowhere to use his strength in front of Shen Xi.

He could take down Chen Xi with an order, but he just didn't have the courage and courage.

When Song Shu asked him to rush on the road this time, the officers and soldiers below were not so resistant... He also heard that he might encounter Tatar cavalry. Driven by his fear of death, he would rather believe that he would not trust him than not. Anyway, he would be able to reach Datong Mansion in a few more hours. If he died under the city of Datong Mansion, it would be really unfair.

When Chen Xi marched at night, he didn't feel anything. At this moment, he was not only in his carriage, but also Yun Liu who was surveillance with him.

In this dark and confined space, he could be soft and fragrant with just one hand. With Yunliu's temperament, he would never resist. Unfortunately, he did not intend to be an irresponsible man. It was easy to be happy, but how could he bear the responsibility?

Yun Liu is Yu Niang's man, and he can't go with him when he is doing things for the court. He is now a man with a family and cannot marry a woman of unknown origin. If he is irresponsible, he will not be able to overcome this hurdle in his heart.

The carriage was invisible to see five fingers. It was clearly in front of me, but it was a bit uncomfortable to feel invisible but not able to eat. Although Chen Xi was a little tired, he already had two wives and concubines at home. He knew the taste of food and asked himself that he still had physiological needs.

"How did you know that the Tatars might come out to rob?"

Feeling the atmosphere awkward, Yun Liu broke the silence and asked.

Chen Xi smiled and replied: "I don't know, I just said it casually to scare Deputy Qianhu Song."

Yunliu couldn't help but smile. Although this was a very serious question, Chen Xi said this as a joke.

There was a little fragrance in the carriage, which was from Yunliu... After all, it was a girl who loved cleanliness. These days, the Guanyi had no chance to take a bath without preparing hot water. She could only wipe some fragrant powder to counteract the odor on her body. But in the end, this fragrance made Chen Xi feel extremely charming.

There was a icy and snowy outside, but the carriage was as warm as spring. There was also a stunning woman who wanted to give her a request. If you were not moved, you were deceiving yourself.

"Miss Yunliu, is Yun your original surname?" Chen Xi asked without saying a word.

Yunliu's tone was sad: "The little girl was sold to Jiaofangsi since she was a child. She didn't know her surname. Yunliu's name... was given by Yu Niang."

"Oh. I'm sold to Jiafangsi..."

The official prostitutes in Jiaofangsi should theoretically be criminal women, but obviously, it is difficult to meet the huge demands of Jiaofangsi by relying on the number of family members of the officials every year. A larger part can only buy some small-sized girls from the private sector to enter. Many girls used to be born in innocent families. After entering Jiaofangsi, they were equivalent to rootless duckweed and could only follow the trend.

Yunliu is still lucky. Yu Niang has planned for her and served the court, but the destination of a woman in this era is to marry and have children. Now it seems that Yunliu has almost no such possibility.

Shen Xi thought that when Yun Liu got older, Yu Niang might train her to become the next self. At that time, Yun Liu would inherit Yu Niang's mantle and, while being in power, had to collect information for the court.

Chen Xi was thinking about things and was a little lost. Suddenly, he heard Yun Liu calling him: "Mr. Shen?"

"Hmm?" Chen Xi reacted and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"No, if Lord Shen feels the carriage is crowded, the little woman can go down to the carriage behind..." Yun Liu's tone was a little sad.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "It's okay, there are few such night roads. You may not be used to it as your daughter's house. Be patient and you will be fine when you arrive in Datong City tomorrow. At that time, you can not only take a hot bath, but also have delicious food and drinks. The most important thing is to have a good sleep..."

Even Chen Xi himself began to imagine the comfortable days of a high bed and soft pillow. Isn’t this bumpy journey a torment for his body?

Because I knew that the court was going to send artillery, the people from Datong General's Office waited for a few days and finally waited for artillery.

"Fortunately it came in time."

The person who came out to greet a guerrilla general, surnamed Yu, was full of excitement when he saw the cannon entering the city. Earlier, the people from Datong Mansion had learned about the cannon Nanhaizi's artillery and knew that the Folang machine cannon was powerful and was tantamount to the defenders.

Song Shu said: "General Yu, there is no war in the middle of winter. How many days will it take to get a few days or later? What is the timely statement?"

The guerrilla general named Yu said, "That was the usual year. This year is not peaceful. The Tatars were not idle even in winter. A few days ago, their cavalry appeared at the city of Datong. It was probably the Tatars spies. Maybe their army would come. The general said he was afraid that you would rob the Tatars on the road. Now you can enter the city safely. Before you go, you burn high incense in the temple, right?"

One sentence scared Song Shu.

"Tsk, it's just a few ranger spies, and the Tatars didn't really come to attack the city. Who are they scaring?" As soon as the guerrilla general left, Song Shu said to the hundreds of households around him with a little disdain on his face, attracting a lot of consent.

After entering the city, you can go to the official post to rest and have border troops to protect them. All the soldiers can finally relax completely, not sleeping for a day and night, change into dry clothes, drink some hot mutton soup, and eat some soap buns or steamed buns. When your body is warm, you will sleep happily before talking.

But before noon, he heard the sound of gongs and drums outside. Song Shu almost scolded his mother for putting on his boots and walked out of the official post. It happened that the messenger from Datong Mansion was warning the four cities: "The Tatars are coming!"

Song Shu almost sat on the ground. As soon as he entered the city, the Tatars followed him and killed him. Is it a coincidence?

Thinking about how he really tied up Shen Xi last night and forced himself to camp in the wild overnight. Now that he is coming, he just happens to run into the Tatars. I guess he won’t even cry at that time.

Thinking of this, Song Shu was chilling.
