Chapter 21 On the way to disaster relief

On the official road, there was endless white snow.

Duke Liu looked at the carriage stuck in the snow, frowned, rubbed his frozen hands, and looked at the carriage stuck in the snow, wondering how he could get there! How much distance could he travel in a day?

Yun Li, the head of the Yunfei Escort Agency, took a sip from the kettle, looked at the worried-looking Duke Liu and said, "Duke, I have been escorting with our elders since I was a child. I have a clever idea that will help us get to Puyang faster." At the current speed, the snow will melt by the time we get there. Who knows how many people will die.

Ao Han, the commander of the Imperial Guards next to Duke Liu, looked alert and said, "As a bodyguard, what good suggestions do you have? Just protect your mark well."

Duke Liu patted Ao Han on the shoulder and looked at Yun Li, "Tell me what method you have and I'll see if it's feasible." Let's listen to them all, just in case they are useful.

Yun Li bowed and said, "Duke, if we remove the wheels of the carriage, the carriage will not sink. This way we can move faster without having to slowly clear the snow."

Duke Liu nodded. He had seen people playing ice hockey in Beijing before, so he did not deny it immediately. However, he was too responsible to give orders directly. He said, "Ao Han, take a few people with you to remove the wheels of the carriage next to you and make the reins longer. See if it is the same as he said."

Ao Han looked incredulous, "Duke, are you really going to listen to him? Is this possible?"

Duke Liu shook his head and said, "I don't know either. We have never come out in such bad weather. Let's give it a try first. We can use a carriage. We can afford it." He had to give it a try. His daughter was waiting for him to come home.

Ao Han didn't understand, but still waved his hand to call a few imperial guards, "You guys, take off the wheels of this grain carriage."

Several Royal Guards looked confused and didn't know why the wheels had to be removed. They started to remove them anyway. Their hands were covered in snow and it took them a while to remove them.

Ao Han said at this time, "You guys lead the horses forward and see what's going on."

Duke Liu also stared at it, and seeing that the carriage was indeed not sinking, he nodded and signaled Ao Han, "Take off all the wheels and tie them to the back of the carriage, and we will continue on our way." This solved the problem. He turned around and took out a 50-liang silver note and handed it to Yun Li, "Take it, it's your reward."

Yun Li took the banknote with both hands, put it in his pocket, and said happily, "Thank you, it's a reward from the Duke." Such a large amount of money is enough to marry a wife. The Duke's reward is really generous.

Duke Liu waved his hand, watched Yun Li retreat, and looked at the busy crowd, holding the sword tightly in his hand, fearing that someone would launch a sneak attack.

After all the carriage wheels were removed, he got back on his horse and followed the team forward.

After traveling for a day and a night, they finally arrived at the post station next to the official road.

Duke Liu led the horse inside. Ao Han, the commander of the Imperial Guards, looked at the Duke, shook his head and muttered to himself, "Why did His Majesty leave the matter to him?" He had no choice but to go up to the postmaster and say, "We are going to Jinyang and need to rest at the post station for one night."

The postmaster looked at the endless convoy behind him and was shocked. He called the postman and said, "Take the other brothers and clean up the post station. Heat some hot water so that the official can have a good rest."

Duke Liu watched Ao Han handling the matter and went straight to the upper room. He just needed Ao Han to make the arrangements. He was just a person who worked for credits and was paid. How could he handle so many things? Otherwise, His Majesty would not have arranged so many people to follow him.

He took off his coat, shook off the snow on his body, sat on the bench in his soft armor, rubbed his hands and face, and tried to calm himself down.

Looking at the hot meals and dishes brought by the postman, he raised an eyebrow and ate them with big mouthfuls without being picky. He was almost going crazy after eating cold water and bread all day and night.

After finishing his meal, he looked at the orderly crowd below and couldn't help but curl his lips. This Ao Han is really capable! Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't have sent him here.

After dinner, Duke Liu curled up on his bed and fell into a deep sleep, unaware that Ao Han and several escort leaders were living next door to him in order to protect him.

The next day, the sky was slightly bright

Duke Liu woke up, put on his armor, ate a bowl of hot noodles, and followed the convoy to Jinyang. He had no idea that several gangs of bandits attempted a surprise attack yesterday but were scared away by Ao Han's Royal Guards.

The cold wind was howling, and Duke Liu's face was so cold that it hurt, and he couldn't help rubbing his face. Ao Han looked helpless and handed over a bottle of antifreeze oil, "Wipe it on, otherwise your face will crack."

Duke Liu took it with some doubt, applied a little on his face, and returned the bottle to him. This Ao Han still had some good stuff. When Nannan got divorced, he could be a backup option. It was just that the Imperial Guards were too dangerous.

Duke Liu suddenly felt annoyed and said, "I was too sleepy yesterday and didn't write a letter to my daughter. I wonder if she will worry!" Looking at the white space in front of him, he gave up and decided to write at the next post station.

The team moved forward in a mighty manner, at a much faster speed than before, covering 300 miles in one day, several times more than yesterday. It looked like they would reach Jinyang in a few days, but no one knew what the situation was like in the city.

The group did not encounter any post station at night and did not dare to stop. They continued on their way until dawn, when they saw a village ahead and stopped.

Ao Han looked at the heavily defended village and left with his men. Duke Liu was very tired and wanted to rest. He watched Ao Han leave and left without saying a word.

After they walked away, Duke Liu finally spoke up, "Why don't you come in and stay there?"

Ao Han shook his head. "It doesn't look like an ordinary village inside. If we go in, we may risk our lives to get out, but it's hard to say whether we can get anything out."

Duke Liu said, "Let's keep on going. If the relief grains are lost, we won't be able to survive if we go back." The lazy days in the past were still so comfortable!

Ao Han also nodded and said, "Let's keep going. Let's keep going."

Yun Li watched the team leave the village, and only retracted his sword after they were far away. "Fortunately, we didn't go in. This place is not so easy to enter. I have never heard of anyone who went in coming out alive. This Ao Han is quite knowledgeable. Duke Liu, alas, we are lucky that we didn't rush in."

Yun Li rode on horseback beside the convoy, with no expression on his face. His hand holding the knife was shaking a little, showing his nervousness.

The more alert people in the team relaxed only after they were far away from the village.

Duke Liu resisted the urge to sleep and persisted. A few hours later, he came back to life when he saw the post station ahead.

He left everything to Ao Han, went upstairs, and fell asleep in his room. Several escort leaders followed him and lived next door to him to protect his safety.

Ao Han looked at Duke Liu and shook his head. He didn't understand why His Majesty asked him to provide disaster relief. Wasn't this just a pure burden?

Ao Han finished the negotiations with the postmaster and arranged accommodation for a group of people before going upstairs. After all, the emperor still cared about Duke Liu and asked him to protect him.

Duke Liu knew nothing about this and slept soundly.
