The night was dark, and a winter rain came unexpectedly. Although the rain was not heavy, it lasted for a long time. It gradually stopped until midnight. The temperature seemed to drop several degrees. Even Gao Bufan felt a slight chill. It was obvious that this rain

The cold rain has announced the arrival of winter.

At this moment, Gao Bufan was lying on the bed in the inn, listening to the dripping on the eaves outside the window, feeling a little worried. He and Cui Hu went to Lu Sanlang and Lu Hongbo's dinner tonight. After the banquet, the city gate had been closed, so he could only

I stayed in the inn for one night and planned to go through the delivery procedures with Li Yuan tomorrow before leaving the city and returning to camp. Unexpectedly, a cold rain suddenly fell, which will undoubtedly have a negative impact on the people and animals sleeping outside the city.

However, as the saying goes, Gao Bufan is now in the city and has no control over things outside the city, so it is useless to worry. The only thing he can do is to close his eyes and sleep, and pray for smooth delivery tomorrow, because the war horse has not been delivered for a moment, and the responsibility

Just be on his side for a moment.

However, the next morning, the damn thing still happened. When Gao Bufan and Cui Hu came to the Supervision and Transportation Office again to find Li Yuan, they found that the latter was not there. After asking, they learned that it was Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.

The imperial chariot has arrived to the north of Hejian County. Li Yuan actually set out overnight to meet the chariot last night. It would take at least ten or eight days to turn back.

Gao Bufan was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. He greeted the eighteenth generation of Li Yuan's ancestors in his heart, and then greeted the eighteenth generation of Yang Guang's ancestors. He couldn't come back a few days later. After all, he asked the young master to deliver the war horse. Not now.

If you can't get down, aren't you sincerely cheating people?

Cui Hu also had a bitter look on his face. The Cui family has five thousand war horses, and they invest countless amounts of beans every day. Waiting for ten or eight more days means a lot of extra expenses, and these expenses cannot be calculated into the cost.

, because the court's horse purchase price is fixed, there is no way to raise the price, unless you don't want to lose your head.

Unwilling to give up, Gao Bufan found the assistant officer who was staying at the Supervision and Transportation Department and proposed to deliver the war horse as soon as possible. As a result, the officer did not dare to accept it because he did not have the power, and Li Yuan took the seal with him when he left.

Gao Bufan couldn't help but secretly curse, a little bit suspicious that "Grandma Li" was deliberately trying to mess with him. There was no other way, and in the end Gao Bufan and Cui Hu had no choice but to return to the camp outside the city in dejection.

"Master, Miss Dou left without saying goodbye!" As soon as Gao Bufan returned to the camp, the leader reported with regret.

Gao Ren rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean by leaving without saying goodbye? Miss Dou clearly left a farewell letter to the young master, okay?"

"You know what the heck, if you don't say goodbye in person, you just leave without saying goodbye." Gao Shou retorted.

Gao Bufan ignored these two bargainers and quickly came to the tent where Dou Xian Niang lived. He found that the bed was neatly packed, the protective dagger was missing, and he had not taken all the new clothes with him.

She took two sets, but the men's suit that Gao Bufan had given her to wear before was not left behind. He probably took it with him.

There is a piece of paper under the bed, which should be a message from Dou Xianniang. Gao Shou and Gao Ren understand the rules and don't dare to move!

Gao Bufan picked up the piece of paper and glanced at it. There was only half a line of words on it: "Brother Gao, I'm going to find dad, don't read it!", and below it were three small words: "Xian Niangliu".

Dou Xianniang's handwriting is beautiful, and she has obviously read a book. In addition, there are some round dents on the note, which seem to be caused by water droplets, but they have dried after being left to dry overnight.

Gao Bufan folded the note and put it in his arms, feeling a little lost. Gao Shou and Gao Ren poked their heads out from behind him, and said one after another: "Master, do you want to bring Miss Dou back?"

Another said: "It should be too late to chase now!"

Gao Bufan frowned and asked: "I can't get away now, who is going to chase me?"

Gao Shou immediately patted his chest and said, "I'm going!"

Gao Ren also puffed up his chest and said, "Gao Da and I are going."

Gao Bufan wondered: "Hey, you two are so active?"

Gao Ren puffed up his chest again and said: "Madam, didn't you always say that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda? Liaodong is preparing for war. Miss Dou's daughter ran to the front line to risk her death. Gao Da and I found her.

Wouldn’t it be equivalent to saving her life?”

Gao Bufan nodded and said: "That makes sense, then you can go after him."

"Don't worry, young master. Me and the second brother will definitely bring the young lady back intact. If there is a hair missing, you can cut us off!" Gao Shou promised, patting his chest.

"Gao Da, can you have some integrity? We have agreed before that the eldest grandson is the young lady, and you have betrayed her so quickly?" Gao Ren said dissatisfied.

Gao Shou curled his lips and said: "When did I betray you? Who said there can only be one young lady? Even Qingyun has dozens of good mares. Could it be that our young master is not as good as that beast like Qingyun? I see the eldest grandson and the young lady.

Miss Dou is very good..."

"Get out!" Gao Bufan flew up in anger and kicked these two tough guys out. How dare you compare me with a big stallion like Qingyun!

When Gao Shou and Gao Ren saw that the young master was angry, they did not dare to play tricks anymore. They ran away quickly with their buttocks between their legs, each mounted a horse and chased eastward. To the east of Zhuo County is Yuyang County, and then there is

Beiping County, Liucheng County, Yan County, and finally Liaodong County. If they are lucky, they will have a chance to catch up with Dou Xianniang on the road.

In fact, Gao Bufan is the fastest to chase after riding Qingyun, but the war horse has not been delivered yet, and he cannot leave without authorization. Things have priorities, and the delivery of the war horse is a top priority for the entire Flying Eagle Racecourse, so for Gao Bufan

It is said that delivering the war horse is far more important than recovering Dou Xian Niang.

If a person can't even tell the difference between lightness and weight, how can others trust you in the future? After all, you will just hang around casually in your life, and you can only hang around casually!

Gao Bufan didn't know whether Gao Shou and Gao Ren had caught up with Dou Xianniang. They probably hadn't, because ten days had passed in the blink of an eye. Gao Shou and Gao Ren had not turned around, but Sui Emperor Yang Guang came.

Yes, the battle is very big!

Yes, the formation is very, very big. In short, it is beyond Gao Bufan's imagination. Chidao had been cleaned and leveled several days ago, and not even a single weed could be found.

On the day when Yang Guang Yujia arrived, the weather was fine, but he saw mountains and plains covered with banners covering the sky, fierce beasts clearing the way, forests of swords and guns, gongs and drums shaking the sky, row after row of majestic soldiers passing by, row after row of mighty warriors.

The cavalry passed by, and then row after row of chariots...

Gao Bufan and others saw that their necks had grown longer, and finally they saw the shadow of the imperial chariot. Tsk, tsk, that was the imperial chariot. It was clearly a small mobile palace. It was said that there were thousands more warriors responsible for carrying the chariot.

There are densely packed human legs underneath. The most rare thing is that these warriors carrying the chariot cooperate very well. The steps of thousands of people are coordinated. Although they don't walk fast, they walk steadily.

There is no way, the person sitting on it is the Nine-Fifth King. If the dragon's buttocks are bumped, his head will fall off, so the warriors have developed skills that are as stable as Mount Tai.

The imperial chariot was covered with bright red brocade, and a bright yellow umbrella was propped up in the middle. Underneath was a magnificent dragon chair. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was sitting on it, surrounded by palace and bodyguards.

The favored minister also had the honor to stand on the royal chariot.

For example, Li Yuan and Yu Wenhuaji, one on the left and one on the right, each holding a flag, with serious expressions, standing upright with their buttocks between their legs, meticulous, and did not even dare to speak out loud.

Gao Bufan felt strange. Because he was far away, he couldn't see clearly what Yang Guang looked like on the dragon throne, but he had seen Li Yuan and Yu Wenhua, so he recognized these two guys at a glance from a distance.

Now he is raising flags and cheering for Yang Guang like a grandson. Unexpectedly, one of them will seize the kingdom of Sui Dynasty in the future, and the other will even kill Yang Guang!

It is true that things in the world are unpredictable. If Yang Guang knew about it now, he would probably jump up from the dragon throne, kick these two guys off the chariot, and let the strong men trample them into a pulp!

"Tsk, tsk, being an emperor means being majestic, and so should a man!" Gao Shixiong sighed, actually imitating others to throw away his book bag, he probably learned it from drama.

Gao Bufan secretly sweated. Fortunately, this guy didn't say "I'll replace him with him." Otherwise, he would have been regarded as a rebel by the Sui soldiers who were responsible for maintaining order and would have been used as a sieve with spears.

When everyone's eyes were focused on the royal chariot, no one noticed that two men wearing bamboo hats were walking away from the crowd with depressed and resentful expressions.
