Chapter 1975: Happiness...
What is happiness?
When you feel stable in this environment.
When you feel a little bit of joy.
When you are busy all day but feel full.
Then you are in bliss.
Guan Qisheng used to think that happiness means getting promoted and getting rich, but now he finds that peace is the greatest wealth.
"Meier is tempted, no, it's because she has obvious ambitions."
Zhao Chun is sorting out all kinds of collected information, which will not be written down, but everyone will keep it firmly in their hearts.
"Remember, Ye Siya didn't do any meritorious service. Instead, his arrival contributed to Mergan's decision to unify Harlei and guard against Daming."
"Pugu and Wu En are like kites, and the line has gradually been transferred from meat fans to Mergan's hands. Mergan is ambitious. This is a tonic."
"Mergan must be lobbying and threatening the other princes. Now that he has a strong army, he has a great possibility to unify Harlei. That will be...a formidable enemy."
Zhao Chun raised his head and asked, "Do you have anything to add?"
Miao Xi thought for a while and said, "Sir, Samarkand is now like a bright light in the dark night. There is food here, so it has attracted countless wandering small tribes. Mergan is gradually becoming stronger. If he gathers those Prince, will he take the initiative to attack?"
"I don't think so, but this is not something we should consider. Let Chaozhong have a headache."
Zhao Chun got up comfortably, looked at his three subordinates, and then at the bag containing Wang Shi's ashes, and said, "Take Wang Shi, let's go home."
"go home!"
"go home!"
There was joy and relief in the deep voice, everyone wanted to leave this city that made them restless.
The bundles were unwrapped and rechecked, then tied up and carried on their backs.
Zhao Chun was destroying the traces. He soaked the large piece of paper on which various information was recorded, and then kneaded it into mud.
...
"This is the last suspect location.
"
A pair of cold eyes scanned the surrounding buildings.
"They stole the corpse, even if it was disguised as traces of wild dogs, but the wild dogs will not drag the whole body away, stupid Mingren!"
Behind him gathered more than a hundred soldiers and two civilians.
"is it here?"
asked the officer, turning around.
A commoner said flatteringly: "Yes, my lord, there were originally five of them, but for some reason, one was missing. They went out in batches all day, and hid in the house when they came back..."
Another commoner also hurriedly said: "They never quarrel, they are quiet, like dead people, this is not normal sir."
The officer nodded and said with a sneer: "It's not normal, these stupid smart people, surround them."
...
In the yard, the four of them had already carried their burdens. Most of the baggage is dry biscuits, which will be their main food along the way. If there is not enough, they can only rely on looting and buying to supplement.
Zhao Chun carried two burdens, one of which was Wang Shi's ashes.
He tried the weight, then touched the bag containing the ashes, and said, "Brother Wang Shi, bless us all the way home safely."
Miao Xi smiled and said: "My lord, the people of Harlei are busy repairing the city, how can they take care of so much?"
Chen Hui also smiled and said: "Finally I can leave, my lord, I would rather wander on the grassland than have nightmares here all day."
"The nightmare is over, let's go."
Zhao Chun glanced at Guan Qisheng with an excited expression, and then led everyone out over the wall from behind.
...
Just as they walked out of another alley, a group of soldiers climbed over the wall and entered their place of residence.
"no one?"
The officer turned around and looked at the two civilians who reported the letter with cold eyes.
A sergeant went over to check the scene. He reached out to touch a few stools, and looked back, "My lord, they didn't leave for long."
The officer turned around sharply and roared, "Chase, find them, kill them!"
...
Cars are still coming and going on the street, and ox carts and horse-drawn carts transporting materials are constantly shuttling.
The four of them separated back and forth, hurriedly took the horse from a horse dealer they had agreed with earlier, and then quickly approached the city gate.
The sun was westward, and the soldiers at the city gate were already exhausted after a day of surveillance.
There are a lot of spices and tea bricks on horseback.
This is a standard caravan, although it is small, but under the background of the chaos in Halle, the small caravan can survive better and turn around easily.
At the city gate, the sergeant guarding the gate took a piece of silver handed over by Zhao Chun, skillfully put it in his arms, and then pretended to check it, then said impatiently: "Get lost!"
A flattering smile appeared on Zhao Chun's dark face, he nodded and bowed, and led the horse team slowly out of the city.
It can't be fast, otherwise under the policy of rewarding spies if they are found, the sergeants guarding the gate will stop them without hesitation, and then the bows and arrows in the city will nail them to death on the hard ground crushed by carts.
"stop!"
A loud shout came from behind, Zhao Chun's body froze, and he turned to look at the sergeant.
The sergeant stared at him and said, "Go get me something out."
As soon as Zhao Chun's body relaxed, he knew it was smuggling.
After Mergan broke through Samarkand, many people found the treasure, but they dared not reveal it. They could only look for opportunities to bring it out, and then asked for leave to go to the caravan to dispose of it.
And for safety - all the loot must be handed over, and then some property will be returned from above. The source of the caravan's goods is strictly checked in the city, so they can only trade outside the city.
And the need for horses to bring goods shows that the sergeant has a lot of private goods.
This is not a matter, so Zhao Chun is going to go in person, and the other three will be left here as hostages.
"I go."
Miao Xi took over the matter without hesitation, Zhao Chun was taken aback, the sergeant had already told the address impatiently, and who else to ask for the goods.
At this time, there were only five sergeants at the city gate, and the other four pretended not to see it, which shows that this kind of thing is just normal.
Miao Xi repeated the address and contact person, and the sergeant nodded in satisfaction, signaling Zhao Chun and the others to wait outside the city gate.
Zhao Chun suppressed his anxiety and said in a low voice, "Be careful, run away if something goes wrong."
Miao Xi handed the burden to Zhao Chun and said, "It's all right, if something is wrong, my lord..."
He smiled, a very bright smile.
The low-pitched conversation between the two was only for a moment, and Miao Xi immediately rode into the city.
Zhao Chun waited outside the city, Guan Qi said anxiously: "My lord, it's getting dark soon."
Zhao Chun looked up at the sky dyed red by the setting sun, and said, "No problem, let's..."
"ah……"
At this time, a long howl suddenly came out from the city.
The city that has gradually ceased to be noisy is like a small lake where a stone has been thrown suddenly, and ripples immediately appeared.
Guan Qisheng's body trembled, and he said in a low voice, "My lord, it's Miao Xi's voice."
Chen Hui glanced at the sergeant who was already on guard, and said, "My lord, I'm afraid... just kill these people and respond..."
"ah……"
The howling sound gradually faded away, Zhao Chun closed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Get on the horse, let's go!"
"grown ups……"
Zhao Chun said hastily: "Miao Xi shouted to warn, he... went to the city, let's go!"
This was a move to distract the enemy, Guan Qisheng gave a painful look at the few sergeants who turned their backs to him and the others.
The three got on their horses and left quietly.
After one of the sergeants turned around, he couldn't help exclaiming: "Those three people ran away!"
The surrounding fields are vast, and the back of Sanqi is blood red reflected by the setting sun.
"Chasing! Chasing!"
There was a panic at the city gate, and the sergeants who were resting in the nearby room got on their horses one after another under the leadership of the officers, and then chased them out.
But twilight is approaching, who can chase after...
...
This is retribution!
From the moment he saw the two commoners pointing at him in ecstasy, Miao Xi knew that he went to fetch Wang Shi's body and leaked his whereabouts, but he had no regrets.
He beat his horse and galloped crazily in the city until the horse hissed and fell out suddenly.
In the air, Miao Xi held a short blade and rushed towards an enemy in front of him.
The sharp pain of the collision came, without Miao Xi swinging the knife, the enemy was already heavily crushed to the ground.
There are a few arrows stuck in the back of the war horse behind him, and he is still trying to get up. But it struggled a few times, and finally fell powerlessly to the ground, its body twitching and neighing softly...
Miao Xi stumbled to his feet, surrounded by enemies in front and pursuers behind.
He has nowhere to go!
