Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 299 Do You Know This?
Chapter 300 Do You Know This?
"Are you the postmaster here?" asked the leading knight.

"Yes! The younger one is Wei Shou, the station chief of Wangjiang Station."

"Do you know this?" The knight handed Xia Houba a token.

"Wangjiang post, up and down, follow the general's orders!"

Xia Houba took the token and glanced at it, and quickly returned it with both hands. This bastard took the token of General Sun Lang!
"You have good eyesight!" The knight smiled.

"This is a military station, the young ones and the postmen here are all from the army! So I recognize the general's warrant..."

"Call out all the people in the station, and bring the roster!"

"Ah! This... is! Yes!"

"Zhou Di, call everyone to gather in the yard! Lu Lei, get out the station's duty roster!" Xia Houba ordered loudly.

Xia Houba was very glad that he did what Cao Chong said and took care of all the details. These bastards came, so without further ado, they just assembled and called roll call!

"Tuesday Wei!"

"To!"

After the last name was called, several knights got off their horses and handed over the horses to everyone.

"It's nothing! Go and prepare some food. Take good care of the horses. I'll rest here tonight."

Xia Houba asked Zhou Cheng to lead these people to rest, and he and Zhang Ba looked at each other: It's so hot!It's so dangerous. Fortunately, I chose to occupy the post station the night before yesterday. I let everyone practice on this roster for a day yesterday.

The next morning, six of the eight knights left, and two stayed behind. This made Xiahouba's heart ache. What do these people want to do?
"Postmaster, there are three other chiefs coming, I have a task for you!" The two remaining knights shouted to Xia Houba.

"You two, what are your orders?"

"The general will take his family members by here tomorrow, you..."

Xia Houba sighed in his heart: Zhu Ran and Sun Lang are very cautious!Two days in advance, people were sent to explore the road ahead, and the post station personnel were also checked. This security work is too meticulous!
"That's all, do you understand? It's time to take care of you!"

"This is not easy!" Xia Houba wondered.

"Huh?" The two knights frowned and looked at Xia Houba: Isn't that what the station is for?What can't be done?
"You two, there are very few people coming to our Wangjiang station on weekdays, so we didn't prepare much food or other delicate food. According to you, there are a lot of people this time, and they are of noble status..." Xia Houba was embarrassed explain.

"How about I ask my men to go to Peng Ze to buy some fine ingredients?"

"Forget it, Peng Ze is tens of miles away from here, and we can't make it in time. The convoy has enough food and supplies. Hurry up and get someone to clean the post station carefully. The nobles are exhausted, so you can take a good rest at the post station." One of them said.

"That's good! I'll row the whole team!" Xia Houba quickly agreed.

"Let's find a way to collect some fresh vegetables and fruits nearby." Another person said.

"Okay! But there aren't many houses in a radius of more than ten miles. I'm afraid we can only get some crude vegetables and fruits..."

The two frowned and nodded, and let Xia Houba go down to prepare.

After Xia Houba went out, he whispered: "Go and prepare well! The nobleman will come tomorrow!"

The postmen at the post station scattered away immediately, and began to call for the people who were ambushing nearby in the name of collecting vegetables and fruits.

Not to mention that Xia Houba was planning to do something wrong here at Wangjiang Station, Zhu Ran and Sun Lang were miserable.

Hurrying on a hot day in July, traveling thousands of miles, this is not easy for anyone, and Wu Guotai is almost 60 years old!

Along the way, the two tried their best to hurry in the morning and evening, and found a windy tree shade to rest at noon, but it was still July after all, and the weather was so hot that Wu Guotai could hardly bear it!

The most irritating thing is that after passing Lincheng County, there is not even a decent county town on the way west, and the supply of the convoy is also a problem.

This time the convoy was complicated, unlike the army, not to mention the slow pace, and the various supplies were much more complicated. Food alone was not enough, so Wu Guotai and Sun Shangxiang couldn’t just eat pickles for plain rice, right?

I thought that the post stations along the way would have some reserves, but it turned out that they had plenty of food before the convoy, at least the food in the convoy was finer than theirs.

Zhu Ran and Sun Lang are both sons of rich families, and they are young, they only care about the safety on the road, they did not expect that there is such a large deserted place in the west of Danyang County.

The convoy traveled dozens of miles without meeting any pedestrians on the road!Those post stations are all military posts set up to convey military information, and there is no fine food preparation at all.

Xiahouba chose Wangjiang Station because of this point. The only way to go east and west is desolate and inhabited. Moreover, the Yangtze River in this section of the river is full of water thieves. Passing by Wangjiang Station will definitely stay in the Rest here!
"Mother, I will rest early tonight, and I will arrive in Pengze County, Yuzhang tomorrow. I have sent someone to inform Zhou Yu that he will send a big boat to wait at the official pavilion. Mother will have to work hard for two days at most. It would be much better to go to the official pavilion and take the water route." Already!" Sun Lang said looking at Wu Guotai with a tired face.

Wu Guotai nodded lightly: "Let the soldiers have a good rest. Marching under the sun is hard enough!"

After Sun Lang left, Wu Guotai rubbed his swollen forehead: "Hey, I can't accept the old age! It's still a car, and I can't stand it in just a few days. Back then, I went all the way from Xiapi to Jiangnan..."

At noon the next day, before Sun's caravan arrived, a caravan arrived instead!
"Everyone! I'm sorry, this station has received a military order and does not accept merchants today..."

"You bastard! How can there be a post station that doesn't accept business travelers? Tell your post chief to come out. How dare he not let Jiangxia Huang's motorcade enter the post station?"

Xia Houba hurriedly explained: "That's how it is. The young one really received the military order. General Sun's family members are coming soon. My inn is too small to accommodate that many people. Forgive me, there is another horse station fifty miles to the east. As a station, why don't you go there?"

boy!It must have been trained by Lu Xun. I have seen you several times, and you came quite quickly!Xia Houba took one look at the so-called shopkeeper Huang and recognized him.

"This poisonous sun, you let me go another fifty miles, you want to burn me to death! Which General Sun is so arrogant? If he is only allowed to live in a post station, I will have to bask in the sun?"

"Shopkeeper Huang, keep your voice down! It's that General Sun..." Xiahouba hurriedly pointed his thumb to the sky.

"That one?" Shopkeeper Huang was taken aback.

Xia Houba nodded.

"Why did you suddenly go overland? Where are you going?" Xia Houba asked again.

"Hmph! If Peng Lize's water thieves weren't too rampant, who would have a big ship to move slowly on the land without using it? We are unlucky! General Sun, we can't afford it, fill our water bags with water, and we go to the next station , is this always okay?"

"Good! Good!"

"Cheer up! Let's go to Ma Dang Yi, and have a good rest at night!" Shopkeeper Huang took a sip of water and waved the water bag to direct the caravan to move on.

Watching shopkeeper Huang leave, Xia Houba secretly rejoiced: Ling Tong's side is also ready!
