According to the traditional system of the imperial court, it is true that the local officials are sent to transfer the servants to guard the food, so it is reasonable for Cai Zhen to make this request.

However, Huang County has been rectified by Chuning with an iron fist, and the former subordinates were all driven away by Chuning. Now even Wang Yi's county government is supported by only a few of his own entourage. It could only fall on Chuning's head.

Chu Ning didn't refuse, and Dang even agreed to let Wang Yizheng come to serve as his husband, and asked Zhu Erxi and Huo Wanqing to prepare logistics materials for two bureau-level troops.

From Huangxian County to Donglai County City, if there is no delay in the middle, the round trip will take about four days. In other words, this mission is the longest march of the Weimin Army so far, and it needs to be stationed in the field .

Originally, Chu Ning wanted Liu Changgui to take someone on a trip, but after thinking about it, since he came to this world, he has been living in such a small county, so he decided to follow him to open his eyes.

In the early morning of the next day, more than two hundred servants had already loaded the grain and cloth onto the wheelbarrow, and the two rounds of soldiers drawn from the first and second divisions of the Guards and People's Army had also been assembled.

Although Chu Ning felt that there was no danger in this trip, after thinking twice, he still transferred Yan Lingge from the recruit training ground, and handed over [-] cavalry sentries to Yan Lingge to lead the army in front of the army. Pathfinder.

After bidding farewell to Wang Yi, Huo Yunshu and others outside the city, Chuning took the rein with his left hand, waved the long whip with his right hand, and gave the order to set off.

Although this dispatch was only for the purpose of garrisoning food, the guards took it very seriously as a long-distance marching training. All matters, big or small, were handled in accordance with the regulations of the army. If there is no rule to follow, It needs to be recorded and reported to Captain Captain.

Wearing leather armor and carrying a long lance, Yan Lingge led twenty sentry riders to clear the way first, like a runaway horse, whizzing away on billowing smoke and dust.

Chu Ning led the infantry of the first division of the first division to follow closely behind, guarding the food delivery servants in the middle, and the archers of the second division of the second division, led by Liu Changgui, cut off the rear.

Walking along the official road, after a short walk, Yan Lingge heard a sentry cavalry report that there were a large number of civilians occupying the road ahead, and asked if the road should be cleared in advance.

Yan Lingge rode forward, took a closer look, and saw the flag of the Bai family, and then saw Feng Jiuqing wearing a hard suit, holding the wine jar, sitting on the carriage full of goods, happily Like a fairy.

Feng Jiuqing also saw Yan Lingge, and immediately laughed and shouted: "Hey! President Yan, you look so rushed, where are you going?"

"Hahaha, go to the county town with Captain Chu on business." Yan Lingge approached the horse and asked, "Where is Miss Qing going to be free and easy? Why haven't I heard anyone say that you are leaving?"

"Who said I want to leave? I'm just going to escort your goods to the county seat with your boss." Feng Jiuqing said: "It's no wonder that President Yan is now a popular person on Captain Chu's side, and he is busy with military affairs. Of course, I don’t know about the trivial matters.”

Hearing this, Yan Lingge couldn't help smiling bitterly. According to her wish, she naturally wanted to stay by Bai Su's side, but unfortunately, Bai Su and Chuning had already agreed that both military and political powers belonged to Chuning. Therefore, Yan Ling Ge and her cavalry were packed and sent to Chuning.

Of course, Chuning accepted all the orders, and directly gave Yan Lingge the position of the Chief of the Cavalry Division of the Third Division, which caused a great shock in the Guards Army.

Compared with Yan Lingge's gloomy face, Feng Jiuqing looked much happier, and said repeatedly: "Yan Si! Tell me, how does Captain Chu treat you? But you are happy in the Weimin Army? These two days I didn’t see you coming out of the camp to drink with me, but I’m so curious.”

"If life is worse than death, it can be considered happy, I really hope that Miss Qing will also enjoy it." Thinking of the two days in the camp, Yan Lingge couldn't help shivering, really wishing to get Feng Jiuqing out of it. Come share joys and sorrows.

Feng Jiuqing suddenly became interested: "Quickly tell me, why is life worse than death these two days?"

"At three o'clock, get up after hearing the whistle, train in line until Chen hour, then spend two quarters eating breakfast, half a quarter washing up, and then reciting military orders, folding quilts, folding clothes... training until noon, eating morning meals on time Meal, after lunch, there is a lunch break of [-] minutes, wake up and then recite the law, fold the quilt and fold the clothes..."

"That's it?" Feng Jiuqing was dumbfounded, and said in surprise, "You train like this in the morning and afternoon? Nothing else? Just laundry and quilts?"

"Yes! If you learn to stand with a wooden pole, it counts." Yan Lingge added: "In the morning, I stand with a wooden pole on my back, and in the afternoon, I stand with a wooden/gun."

It was the first time that Feng Jiuqing knew that there would be strange things like folded quilts and folded clothes in the army. Instead of feeling scary, she became interested and became more and more curious about the Weimin Army. From the perspective of combat effectiveness, it is worthy of the name of an elite soldier, but he was trained by folding quilts and clothes?

After talking to Feng Jiuqing a few more words, Yan Lingge rode away, and not long after she left, Chu Ning led the infantry to follow.

Yaoyao saw at a glance that there was a double-riding carriage in this team with the flag of the Bai family hanging on it, and Chu Ning immediately laughed.

"Lieutenant Chu smiled so heartily, what good happened? Do you want some wine to cheer you up?" Feng Jiuqing's eyes were sharp, and he could see Chu Ning's smile from afar.

"Alcohol is banned in the army, I can only thank Miss Qing for her kindness." Chu Ning rode over and asked, "The person in the carriage is Mr. Bai?"

The director-general of Bai Su refers to Bai Su. The two cooperated to establish the Kyushu Trading Company. for different.

When Feng Jiuqing heard Chu Ning's question, she immediately smiled and narrowed her eyes, like a fox who just stole a chicken: "It seems that in the eyes of Mr. Xiaowei, there is room for Mr. Bai."

"Hahaha, Miss Qing's words are wrong!" Chu Ning said: "As long as Miss Qing is willing, not to mention the position of the chief, even the post of school lieutenant, Chu Ning is willing to offer it."

Although this Feng Jiuqing did not appear to be as sharp-edged as Yan Lingge, in fact she had a bit of courage and ability. Chu Ning had long wanted to abduct her into his gang.

"It seems that Feng has also fallen into the eyes of the captain." Feng Jiuqing said with a smile: "Then is the captain planning to make Feng the chief of which department?"

"Which division did Miss Qing take a fancy to?"

"Feng doesn't like any of your officers who fight and kill."

"If that's the case, then I'll give you a new job that doesn't kill people." Chuning thought for a while, then smiled and said, "How about the Department of Foreign Affairs? Although the name is not prestigious enough, it has great power!"

Feng Jiuqing's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she said, "How big is it? Let's hear it?"

"It's something you can't talk about casually." Chu Ning shook his head with a smile, and said, "Miss Qing, you can refer to Mr. Huo's job to think about it. If you are really interested, you might as well find a time to sit down and talk about it in detail." , if you have any request, you can just ask me."

Feng Jiuqing also knew that Chu Ning was sincerely trying to recruit her, so she made an agreement with Chuning that no matter what, she would definitely give Chuning an answer when she got to the county seat.

Chu Ning knew that Feng Jiuqing had already moved, so she decided to give her some more time.

After bidding farewell to Feng Jiuqing, Chu Ning rode his horse and rushed forward, and sure enough, he saw Bai Su's maid Bai Qingmo beside the carriage.

"Miss Qingmo, is the head of the Bai family in the sedan chair?" In front of the Kyushu Trading Company and Chuning, Bai Su is the chief executive of Bai, but in front of Bai Qingmo, the former old people of the Bai family, she is still the head of the Bai family. .

"Captain Chu has something to do with the boss?"

I want to have a little romance with Master Bai, is this considered a big deal?

Chuning pursed her lips and smiled, and opened the curtain of the car with a whip.

Bai Su held a book in his hand and was fascinated by it. When Chuning interrupted him, he had to ask the groom to stop and invite Chuning in.

There is quite a lot of space inside the carriage, let alone two people, even if two people come in, it is more than enough.

Therefore, Bai Su didn't need to move to make room, the space next to her was enough for Chuning to sit beside her.

Chu Ning climbed into the carriage very swiftly. Before Bai Su could speak, she scrambled to sit next to Bai Su. After she sat down, she took a sneak peek and found that Bai Su did not want to drive her away. He meant to leave, so he felt relieved and looked at the situation in the carriage.

In front of Bai Su, there was a small wooden table. On the table was not only a small charcoal stove, but also some easy-to-eat pastries. Seeing this, Chuning burst into tears and almost cursed out loud.

corruption!

It's just too corrupt!

Sure enough, the wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and there are people starving to death on the road.My dignified accompanying captain of the Daqing Dynasty can only ride on a horse and drink cold wind, but she, Bai Su, a profiteer, is a good businessman, and she can enjoy it even when she goes out!

It is simply tempting corruption!

So, is it too late to ask for support? ! ! !

Therefore, something that can be replenished in a single sleep, such as festival/exercise, should not be too precious to Colonel Chu.

Bai Su watched Chu Ning fumble around in her carriage, and as the carriage set off again, she continued to read a book.

Chuning didn't put all her effort into reading books with Bai Su, but when she saw Bai Su's obsessed with the sea of ​​books, trying to absorb every piece of knowledge and nourishment, she couldn't bear to disturb her, and she pretended to be full of words. It's easy to let yourself be entangled and quiet down.

Bai Su carefully read the book in his hand.

Chuning looked at Bai Su who was studying seriously.

She slowly remembered that once upon a time, she seemed to be as ambitious as Bai Su, thinking that knowledge could change fate, and wanted to hold her own destiny in her hands and step on her feet, trying hard to absorb every bit of it that came from her. The nutrition of the sea of ​​books, even in the most difficult time, I read old newspapers, stood at the bottom of my life and looked up at the clouds.

But why, have you become like this now?

Where did the ideal go?

Where did the faith go?

Where did the once hot heart go?

Was it buried in a previous life?

Or lost in this life?

Thinking about these questions, Chuning suddenly felt a little sad, and she even began to wonder if she really liked Bai Su.

She was very scared, very scared, afraid that she was just too lonely in this world, so in despair she grabbed Bai Su as a lifeline and wove a love lie for herself.

Or, is this just a dream?If she continues to love recklessly, how will she face this broken dream when she wakes up in the future?

……

At some point, Bai Su had finished reading the entire volume of the book in her hand. She smoothed and closed the pages cherishingly, and then remembered that Captain Chu seemed to be in her carriage too. When she turned her head slightly, she saw her rare Sitting there quietly, leaning against the wall of the car, his expression froze.

Bai Su had seen such a look on Chuning's face once, on the eve before the city was broken in Huang County, after the death of a reserve soldier of the Weimin Army, this young female school captain had this look on her face as she faced the bone-piercing Wind and snow, trekking in the middle of the night.

For a long time after that, Bai Su always remembered the look in the eyes of this young female captain looking back in the snow.

Sad and lonely.

Struggling and desperate.

It was as if she was the only one in the whole world, walking on the road full of thorns.

No one can stand shoulder to shoulder.

No one can hold hands.

At that time, the sky was full of wind and snow, and the weak light in Bai Su's hand was not enough to illuminate the face of the young female captain, but she still firmly believed that she really saw her looking back.

That kind of gaze seemed to cross thousands of mountains, wade through thousands of rivers, pass through the bitter wind and snow and endless time, and finally landed on her eyebrows.

Silently telling her dark background and boundless future.

Is that so?

It must be so, right?

Otherwise, with my own self-restraint, how could I quietly connive again and again later?

Yeah, pampering!

Later, I really indulged myself!

When she was lonely and helpless, talk to her heart; Take a seat in your own carriage.

Bai Su's thoughts turned, and her eyes were filled with storms, but she quickly restrained her emotions, and hid all the turbulent waves deeply in her heart.

Everything, in an instant, returned to calm and calm again.

Chuning was still sorting out his thoughts.

Bai Su is still reading her favorite book seriously.

If the team hadn't come to a sudden stop, and if Yan Lingge hadn't returned with two fast horses on sentry post, perhaps such a weird and harmonious atmosphere would have lasted until the end of the road.

"Lord Colonel! Sir Colonel!" Yan Lingge asked someone about Chuning's whereabouts, and immediately rushed to Bai Su's carriage, knocked on the window and said urgently: "Our army rode a sentry and found that the officers two miles ahead There are traces of battle on the road!"

Suddenly, Chu Ning woke up as if from a nightmare. After hearing Yan Lingge repeating the information for the third time in a row, his mind just came to his senses, and he quickly asked, "Where are you now? Can you find out who the two sides in the battle are based on the traces left at the scene?" Who? Have you asked anyone if there are bandits in the vicinity?"

"Return to Captain, our army has now left the border of Huang County, and entered Ping County about three miles away." Yan Lingge immediately replied: "After confirmation by the cavalry sentry, the party where the battle took place may be our people from Huang County. "

"what?!!!"

Hearing this, Chu Ning immediately got up and got off Bai Su's carriage, got on his own horse, and went to confirm with his personal guards and Yan Lingge.

The place where the battle took place was very messy, the blood had solidified into black, and the corpses had formed a giant view. According to the knowledge Chuning read from the book in his previous life, this shows that these people have been dead for more than three days, and they may even be dead for a long time. More than six or seven days...

With almost one glance, Chuning had already confirmed the identities of the dead.

These people were the wealthy families who made a fuss about relocating from Huang County. Chuning had dealt with most of them, and even though their faces had changed now, they still vaguely recognized them.

"It seems that these people suffered disasters as soon as they left Huang County..."

There were only traces of the corpses left by the fighting at the scene, and the money transported away by these people had disappeared. Not only the money was missing, but even the jewelry worn by these people was stripped clean, and even the wealthy families The accompanying family members were all gone.

Yes, there was no woman's body left at the scene, so she disappeared.

"Why bother?" Chu Ning pinched his nose, held back the overwhelming feeling in his heart, and sighed, "I'm making a fuss about moving out, but in the end, I'm all trapped here. I don't know who's going to take advantage of so much wealth... ..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Chuning couldn't help but feel like vomiting. She felt that at this moment, she needed the embrace and comfort of Master Bai very much.

Thinking of this, Chuning ran back, shouting for Yan Lingge to lead someone to bury him.
