Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh: Heart is like a rock
The emergence of Chi Dao greatly shortened the distance from Xuanfu to the capital. From the capital all the way to the west, then turned north, along the way, a group of people and horses walked extremely fast, and thousands of carriages also played a great role.
Due to the smoothing of roads and the emergence of a large number of horse-drawn carriages, the use of manpower to transport grain and grass has been replaced by horse-drawn carriages.
In fact, the truth is very simple. Without a horse-drawn road, it is impossible for a carriage to pass with full load. The winding and muddy roads can only be transported by manpower. It takes at least half a month for one manpower to go from the capital to the border town. This person is in
We need to eat and drink on the way, which requires at least fifteen kilograms of grain to be consumed, and the food carried by one person is only thirty to fifty kilograms at most. This means that if we adopt the method of recruiting civilians in the past, we must rely entirely on manpower for transportation.
, at least there are
More than half of the food is wasted on these manpower. Not only that, if there is bad weather, more time and food will be consumed. That's it... or because the capital is not far from the border town, if the capital is
If it is set up in Nanjing, the time and consumption required will only double. Even the south and the north are almost cut off. This is also thanks to the Grand Canal opened up by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Without this canal, the north and south would be almost at a crossroads.
state of fragmentation.
Now it is different. After one or two civilians own a carriage, they can carry hundreds of kilograms of luggage, and the walking speed has been reduced from half a month to five to seven days. The wear and tear has been reduced to a minimum, and the speed has also been accelerated by an unknown amount.
times.
1,300 new troops have already set off. Six people per carriage. Although it is crowded, it is much better than walking. When they arrive at Datong, the army and horses have been prepared in the border town. So what they have to do is to use the carriage to transport them to Datong.
Datong, then ride out of the customs.
Qian Fang was both excited and a little nervous about this adventure. After two years of training in the new army, it was finally time to use the army. Deep in Qian Fang's heart, he didn't want to build some achievements. But this adventure was not
It was definitely not fun. Compared with the small fights in the past, the future of the new army was determined at every moment. He had not slept well during this journey. He visited Liu Chengfeng several times and revealed this.
concerns.
Liu Chengfeng, on the other hand, was still calm and composed. This was his principle, it was better not to do it. Since he chose to do it, he would never consider the consequences. He traveled behind the new army. There were more than a dozen carriages.
In addition to the bodyguards, there were also drivers for him and Li Ruofan.
Liu Chengfeng was extremely wary of this woman Li Ruofan and had people keep an eye on her at all times, but on the surface, he still showed a tolerant look.
He had a vague feeling in his heart that this woman would definitely play some tricks and would never be willing to be controlled.
It was already the third day after setting off from the capital. The mission was traveling very fast. Now it had arrived at Lu'an Mansion. After taking a short rest in Lu'an Mansion, it continued northward towards Datong.
Liu Chengfeng spent most of his time reading in his carriage. When he left Beijing, the palace summoned him again. Liu Chengfeng still remembers what the emperor said to him before leaving.
If you don't let me down, I will definitely not let you down.
Just one sentence has already shown Zhu Youtang's mentality. Zhu Youtang is well aware of the risks of Liu Chengfeng's trip. At the same time, when he is sober, he understands the importance of Liu Chengfeng's mission. This kind of thing, except for Liu Chengfeng,
People who are courageous, able to adapt, and have sufficient physical strength have no chance at all, so Liu Chengfeng must take risks, hence this sentence.
If you succeed, it will be an unparalleled achievement. If you fail, you will only die.
Liu Chengfeng was sitting in the carriage with a relatively calm state of mind. It was not that he had not thought about the consequences of failure, but he remained calm and composed.
At noon, the motorcade stopped in front of an inn. There were many inns on both sides of the road, especially when passing through the market. There were many inns. As soon as the carriage stopped, people would naturally go to sharpen, collect, and buy horse materials, and Liu
Chengfeng and his party went directly in to eat.
It's just that most of these street inns are relatively simple, Liu Chengfeng is not that bad, Li Ruofan's face is obviously not good, but when Liu Chengfeng got out of the car, he saw Li Ruofan whispering something to a guard, this
The guards were originally brought by Li Ruofan from the desert and were members of Li Ruofan's clan. Later, they were all imprisoned by the Jin Yiwei. Later, Li Ruofan had to release them all.
Liu Chengfeng agreed to Li Ruofan's request, but when he saw Li Ruofan's whispered instructions, Liu Chengfeng had a bad feeling in his heart. He walked over quickly and realized that they were speaking Mongolian.
As soon as the two of them saw Liu Chengfeng approaching, they immediately stopped talking. Liu Chengfeng laughed and said, "Does the princess have something to ask the subordinates to do? In fact, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. If you have any instructions in the future, just do it directly
Just let Gao Qiang and the others do it."
Li Ruofan smiled sweetly, without showing anything strange, and said in a calm tone: "Such a thing is definitely not something Gao Qiang can do."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
Li Ruofan glanced at Liu Chengfeng coldly, his tone became a little unkind, and said, "Why, is Liu Qianshi guarding against me?"
Liu Chengfeng sighed and said: "Since we are sincerely cooperating, we should trust each other. Such words are too strong. But then again, since it is cooperation, wouldn't it be good for everyone to be more honest with each other?"
When Li Ruofan heard this, he sighed and said: "Since Liu Qian wants to know, there is no harm in telling him. I ordered my followers to let him leave the confinement first."
A trace of vigilance flashed across Liu Chengfeng's eyes, and then he laughed and said: "What's wrong with leaving the quarantine together, why do we have to separate them?"
Li Ruofan said: "You need to contact me in advance. My uncle is the leader of the Kaha tribe in Monan. This trip is extremely dangerous. I want to contact my uncle first. With his help, I can gather my father's old tribe."
It feels a lot more relaxed. Moreover, the situation in the desert is changing rapidly, so you must be aware of it in advance in order to be foolproof."
Liu Chengfeng had no expression on his face, but he did admit that what Li Ruofan said was correct, so he chuckled and said, "Oh, I'm just paranoid. Let's eat first. After eating, we can think about it later."
Liu Chengfeng felt that she had been tricked. If Li Ruofan wanted to order her people to leave the detention center, they must have a certificate to leave the detention center. It can be said that without Liu Chengfeng's nod, this person would never be able to leave the detention center. This is
This meant that Li Ruofan had to find Liu Chengfeng first, and after discussion, he could order the guard to obtain Liu Chengfeng's approval before leaving the country to contact the uncle.
But Li Ruofan deliberately pulled this follower aside and gave instructions without telling Liu Chengfeng in advance, but because he knew that Liu Chengfeng's nose was sharper than a dog's, he was very wary of her, and he would naturally behave well when the time came.
Come to inquire, in this way, Liu Chengfeng's "ugly attitude" will be exposed in front of her.
At least this allowed Li Ruofan to gradually take some initiative from a passive position. Of course Liu Chengfeng knew this. He even saw a trace of profound contempt passing through Li Ruofan's eyes. However, his expression remained as usual, but he did not reveal this.
, went into the inn to have dinner with Li Ruofan.
Because of their special status, Liu Chengfeng and Li Ruofan had lunch together in a wing. Li Ruofan immediately lost his appetite when he saw the greasy food, but Liu Chengfeng didn't hesitate and had a bowl of rice.
, asked someone to bring another bowl, looked up at Li Ruofan who was playing with chopsticks, and said casually: "What? Why doesn't the princess eat?"
Li Ruofan smoothed the messy hair on his forehead, and then said calmly: "I can't use it anymore. I'll ask someone to buy some pancakes later."
Liu Chengfeng didn't have any sympathy for the fragrance and cherished the jade. He continued to feast. Whether to eat or not was not his business, and in his opinion, he would not starve to death if he skipped one meal. However, he did not expect that there were such picky Waci people in the world.
.
After the meal, a waiter poured tea. Naturally, Li Ruofan didn't want to eat such greasy tea. He just supported his chin with his hand, watched Liu Chengfeng drink up the tea, and suddenly said: "Liu Qian
thing."
Liu Chengfeng said: "I wonder if the princess has any advice." As he said this, he put down the empty tea cup and looked at Li Ruofan.
This woman is so strange. She is so calm and composed at all times. Is she really a fairy who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world?
Li Ruofan pursed his lips and said calmly: "I used to think that Liu Qianshi was the same person as me, but now it seems that he is completely different."
Liu Chengfeng remained silent, knowing that Li Ruofan had more to say.
Li Ruofan sighed quietly, suddenly bursting into tears, and said: "I am extremely tired, my father is dead, and the responsibility of revenge is on me. In order to take revenge, I have to cooperate with the mortal enemy of my people. Sometimes, I even
Want to hide, find a beautiful place, never hear, never see, never think about these things.”
Li Ruofan suddenly showed his feminine side. Perhaps deep down in her heart, she was not always as hard as iron.
"But I can't, I must take revenge, I..."
Liu Chengfeng's expression did not soften due to Li Ruofan's softening. Instead, he gave Li Ruofan a strange look and said coldly: "Is there a time when the princess is not hard-hearted? Put away your tears, you are doing this trick.
, it won't work for me anymore, we just cooperate, you take your revenge, I complete my mission, okay, I have eaten and drank enough, Princess, please eat slowly, I will wait for you outside."
Liu Chengfeng's behavior can only be described as hard-hearted. Until now, he can never believe this Li Ruofan, this person... is too fake.
As soon as Liu Chengfeng went out, Li Ruofan's pretty face suddenly burst into an unfathomable sneer, and his seductive eyes seemed to have been insulted to some extent, with a hint of shame and anger, but soon,
It returned to normal color again.
