Chapter 977 Mountain Station

The weather made it impossible to camp outside, after passing through Datong, Fang Xing asked the search station to rest.

"All we need is a stove and firewood, and we cook for ourselves."

Xin Laoqi went to negotiate with the post station, and then asked someone to cook.

Fang Xing stood in the yard of the post station, looking at the majestic cliff opposite. Turning around, it was also a backing mountain, but it was a little wet, and the mountain wall was full of vegetation and trees.

And between the two mountains is the post station, and in front of the post station is the road.

"A good place, easy to defend but hard to attack!"

Fang Xing evaluated the site selection of this post station with a military perspective. There are a lot of grain, grass and horses stored here, which can be dispatched at any time.

"It only takes a thousand people to defend, and this road can stop a hundred thousand troops!"

Xin Laoqi always likes to kill and fight, and peaceful days are suffering for him.

Fang Xing turned sideways and said, "It's not bad if you don't fight, at least Ximei won't worry about you finding a concubine outside. I remember what she said when she threatened you last time?"

Old Seven Xin scratched his head and said, "That woman, she said she was going to drown the tiger's head, and then she hanged herself, which made the Xin family cut off the incense."

Xin Laoqi's son, Hutou, was born the year before last. So far, Ximei feels that he has made a great contribution to the Xin family, and takes Xin Laoqi even more seriously.

At this time Zuo Wei also came out, he moved his arms and legs, leaned closer and said, "Uncle, why do we go to Datong? It's much faster to go from Baoding to Zhending!"

Fang Xing shook his head, and Xin Laoqi said: "Zhu Jixuan is in Taiyuan, and he has taken over as the King of Jin for some time. He must have set up eyes and ears on the line from the capital to Taiyuan. If we take this route, don't even think about sending a carriage." , shit and pee have to be pulled in the car!"

Zuo Wei gritted his teeth and said: "As long as the old master can be rescued, Zuo Wei is willing to suffer."

Fang Xing said lightly: "But I will not take risks for this!"

Once discovered, no one knows how Zhu Jihuang will react. If this trip fails, and Lao Zhu's violent temper flares up, Fang Xing feels that he still can't handle it.

"I understand, thank you Xing and Bo."

Zuo Wei bowed and saluted, then entered the room.

Huang Zhong has been watching him,

After he left, he came over and said, "Uncle, this man seems to be loyal to Zhu Jixuan, and we must be careful of his impulsiveness."

Fang Xing shook his head: "He dare not, Zhu Jixuan is like a frightened bird at this time, if he mistakenly thinks that we are going to deal with him, believe it or not, he dares to entangle people and flee to the grassland immediately!"

Huang Zhong said cautiously: "Uncle, if this is the case, His Majesty may take his anger out on you!"

"His Majesty always assigns me to do these confidential things. To be honest, I am not happy."

Huang Zhong said with a smile: "But this is also His Majesty's trust in you. If not, there are many civil servants and military generals in the capital. Why did Your Majesty only choose your generals?"

"Master, it's time to eat."

Fang Xing turned around and said, "Let's go, rest early after dinner."

Dinner is very simple, boiled vegetables and meat with soup and bread.

The people at the station smelled the fragrance and couldn't help being a little curious about this team.

"My lord, the food they cook is delicious!"

A postman said enviously.

Yicheng shouted: "That's someone's skill, if you put your heart into the food, how could those noble people who passed by be stingy with rewards?"

The postman laughed dryly and said, "My lord, where do you think they are going?"

Yicheng shook his head, squinted his eyes and said: "They are walking close to the side wall this way, unless they are going to Yan/An Mansion, Ke Yan/An Mansion...I haven't heard of any movement recently..."

This group of people seemed to be elite, and they were very vigilant, indicating that they had important people on their trip.

The station itself has the task of escorting important people and sending important letters, so this analysis of Yicheng is very reliable.

That's why there are dragons and snakes in the grass, a small post office, unexpectedly analyzed the purpose of Fang Xing and his party in two clicks, if he finds out, he doesn't know whether to silence or recruit.

The postman cupped his hands and said, "Your lord is indeed an adult. If you say it this way, the little ones will understand right away."

...

In the early hours of the morning, Fang Xing got up and went outside. Seeing that the sergeants were packing their bags and some people were cooking in the kitchen, he nodded and went to wash up.

In the yard, Yicheng came out yawning, and when he saw Fang Xing, he hurriedly saluted: "Uncle, the dew in this mountain is heavy, you set off so early..."

Fang Xing nodded and said, "My troops are all cavalry, no problem!"

Seeing that Fang Xing was unwilling to talk, Yi Cheng hurriedly kicked and beat up the postmen and asked them to help clean up.

This Bo Xinghe is the upstart of the country, if he goes back and says that the inn is in a mess, his position will not be secure.

Those postmen slandered that they had become coolies for their superiors to curry favor with the rich and powerful, so they passed reluctantly, but they were stopped by Laoqi Xin.

"I don't need any help, thank you all."

After Fang Xing's training, Xin Laoqi now knows how to be more tactful when rejecting people. Before, it would have been a blunt "No need!"

The air in the mountains is really good, so good that Fang Xing feels like he is in a primeval forest.

Birds were chirping, and the sound seemed to come from the cliff opposite, Fang Xing couldn't help but stepped out of the station, stood in the middle of the road and looked up.

On the ninety-degree rock wall, there are occasionally plants waiting for the breath of spring. The trees rooted in the rock walls make people feel awe of life at a glance.

Fang Xing went forward almost to the bottom of the rock wall, and found a thin stream of water, and the source of water came from the ground.

Walk a short distance to the left, and there is a small pool here. The water in the pool is clear, and under the slight morning light, it seems to be fluctuating jade liquid, which makes people want to drink it when they see it.

After washing his hands at the bottom of the pool, Fang Xing took a few sips of the pool water with his hands, feeling refreshed and refreshed.

"Good water!"

Fang Xing drenched his face with water and suddenly felt refreshed.

"Uncle, don't drink the water outside, some of it is poisonous!"

Fang Xing wiped his face with unsatisfied enthusiasm: "Look, there are traces of washing rice and washing vegetables here, so it must be drinkable."

Huang Zhong said embarrassingly: "I'm mistaken." Then Huang Zhong also tried it, and also praised the benefits of this water.

Yicheng has been watching the two people's actions at the door, and when they came back, he boasted: "Uncle, the reputation of that pool of water is not small, and people who come and go have to change all the water on their bodies before leaving. Said that he had never drank such good water."

Fang Xing nodded: "It's not bad, and there is a water source here, so you don't have to worry about being surrounded, it's a good place!"

As soon as Yicheng heard Fang Xing's kind tone, a big stone fell from his heart, and he said with emotion: "Uncle, you are kind, those nobles rest here in transit, and treat the officials and others like slaves at home."

Fang Xing smiled and didn't answer the question.

Of course, those nobles will not give them good looks, even the family members of the nobles pass by and boss around the people in these post stations. If they are not satisfied, they will file a complaint later.

So the job at the post station is very tiring, and I have to pretend to be a grandson.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the life of the post station was even more difficult, and the group of gentlemen in the court were helpless in the face of the terrible financial situation, and finally cut consumption everywhere, and Li Zicheng was one of the cut off.

As a result of this reduction, a reckless man who ruined the Ming Dynasty was eliminated.
