2014-08-16

The frost is not dry, and the evening breeze is dawning.

I don't know the years in the mountains. Now, it's about July and August. It's actually a silly question to tangle the season in the north, especially in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, where biting-cold wind is almost perennial. The so-called season change is just a matter of the degree of cold wind here.

Of course, this is not true everywhere in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, otherwise the commoners on the farms would not be able to grow crops. For example, if you find a place that is sunny and backed by the mountains, you can still plant it. It's just that the harvest will indeed be less, which is one of the reasons why the poor in the north are more miserable than those in the south. Perhaps, this is the reason why the barbarians of the northern barren keep trying to break into the Titus Empire... But no matter what, just like the sun rises in the east and sets in the west as usual, life will be the same no matter how hard it is.

At the front line, the Titus soldiers and the northern barbarians are still fighting, blood flowing into a river. Generally speaking, although Beihuang's offensive momentum has weakened, it has not been suppressed in the end. According to occasional reports from the city's secret services, some villages and towns close to the front lines have begun to be harassed.

As for the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, the Grey Cloth Armed Force is still working hard to build its own homeland, and it is gradually paying off. The bandits are also fighting fiercely. The scale is not comparable to the front line, but the frequency is extremely high. Some bandits not built within 30 kilometers of the village have been dragged into the water, grabbing the territory, grabbing the cottage, and defending the village. The site, guarding the cottage... Repeatedly every day, the roles are reversed, some thieves are not sure what they want to do... In the city, Joah has established more and more secret institutions, first Hundred Thousand Great Cities around the Mountains, then gradually radiate, with the intention of covering the entire north. As a result, the publicity area is naturally wider and wider. Of course, this process is not all smooth sailing. Recently, the Propaganda Department has been recruiting people constantly. Although there is a need for development, there is also the dilemma of losing manpower and urgently needing to be replenished. Fortunately, this is generally benign and can be expected.

The official mouthpiece newspaper, after being slapped several times in the face, has now simply changed its strategy, no longer entangled in bandits, and has instead vigorously promoted the heroic deeds of frontline warriors. And standing at the height of the country, strongly rebuked the Grey Cloth Armed Force for disregarding the enemy and making trouble behind it. It has to be said that this method of stealing the concept is still a good entry point, and it has also won some supportive voices.

All in all, in this northern season, everyone and each group are walking on the road in accordance with their own interests.... Similarly, Tang En is also walking on the road, but he can Not virtual, but real and flat mountain roads. Needless to say, the reason is naturally because Luosha was promised to go to the city to purchase.

"Tang En Captain, we are still ten li or so away from Cold Water City." A young scout who ran back from a distance saluted.

"Well, hard work!" Tang En nodded, and couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart, it's not easy, it's finally here.

You must know that they have been gone for four days. I believe that if there are no horses, it is estimated that this time will be doubled.

In fact, to be more specific, it is similar to the first publicity of Riva City, which is closer to the Grey Cloth Armed Force station, only about two or three days away. However, after discussing with the senior management of Luosha, they decided to go to Cold Light City, which is far away, to purchase. As for the reason, of course, it is worried that small and medium-sized cities cannot buy all those contraband. The cold light city is different. This is a large city that can be counted in the north. If you can't buy it here, it's no use to go to other places.

"By the way, I'll let the others know later, we'll go to the city in batches."

It's about purchasing, and it's still such a big thing to buy, there are many aspects involved. , Of course, it is not something that a few people can handle. In fact, the Grey Cloth Armed Force dispatched nearly 200 people this time. Such obvious goals naturally need to be dispersed so as not to attract attention.

"Yes!" The young scout carefully glanced at Tang En, making sure there were no other orders, and turned to retreat.

The Eisoan team is very well-known in the army. Although it may not be all praise, no one can deny that their combat strength is indeed strong. In this way, Tang En, who built this team, is naturally more curious and talked about. Actually speaking of which, in the army, the nature of the scout is most similar to that of Eisoan, so I am not curious about this young scout's attitude towards Tang En cautiously.

In fact, it was more reassuring that David and the others did such path-finding work, but the matter of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains Bandit Group was not over yet, and they were being taught by Zofan. So Tang En didn't take them with him when he came out this time...

"Tang En, are you almost there..." Fei Rui, with a bruised face, walked over from behind, with frivolous steps and a weak voice.

"Well, there are still ten miles." Tang En turned his head, and when he saw Fei Rui's appearance, he couldn't help shaking his head, reached out and patted his shoulder twice, "I said you are too I'm sorry, I'm still in the army anyway, so why don't you even ride a horse?"

"Hey, don't, don't..." Ferry's shoulders were half slumped, and he hurriedly avoided Tang En's palm, and then briefly He said embarrassedly, "Isn't the road too pothole... and I can ride it now."

"Hehe, yes." Tang En put his forehead down, unable to bear "I know, I thought you were riding a horse. If I didn't know, I thought you had a deep hatred with this horse, so I had to strangle it to death."

This is exactly the case. After leaving the station, Tang En knew that this Phi Rui simply couldn't ride a horse. But it's a long way to go, and it's definitely not possible without riding a horse. Fei Rui was not willing to go back and miss this opportunity, so he finally gritted his teeth. Although Tang En imparted his experience unreservedly and chose the most docile old horse for him, the result of Fei Rui was still very, extremely tragic... Fei Rui's brain is speechless, praised as He is not too smart at all. He also remembers the experience Tang En said, but when he turned it into actual action, his limbs seemed to be glued to powerful spiders and became extremely rigid. Tang En sometimes suspects that if he hadn't been watching over him, this Ferry might have finished apprenticeship and died before he was able to be killed by a horse... Fortunately, the mountain road is rough and difficult to walk, and the horse can't run fast. After bumping and bumping, Ferry was finally able to stay on horseback. Note that it's just "waiting". As for the heroic riding posture, it has nothing to do with him... "Aha, I finally got over it." Although Tang En was a little embarrassed by the blow, when Fei Rui determined the purpose The ground was right in front of him, and his spirit was suddenly lifted, and he couldn't help opening his mouth to cheer.

Tang En curl one's lip , said indifferently: "Don't be too happy, don't forget, you have to get back."

"Uh... When Fei Rui heard the words, his face immediately stiffened, and then his tone was sad and angry, "Tang En, don't you say you will die? Will you die..."

Tang En opened his mouth and was about to speak. But then eyebrow raised and turned to look. At this time, an old voice suddenly came, "hehe, what are you talking about, so happy... eh?" This is an old man with curly hair. He obviously heard the cheers when he came over, but now Seeing Fei Rui's sad and angry expression, he couldn't help but feel a little unfathomable mystery.

"Minister Bosco!" Tang En squinted slightly and gave a simple salute. Naturally, Fei Rui couldn't do this, so he bowed solemnly to greet him.

The person here is Bosco. The purchase of such a great generity of Grey Cloth Armed Force naturally requires a high-level array. Bosco used to be an aristocrat, experienced and knowledgeable, and he has also dabbled in this kind of things. Coupled with rich negotiation experience, he is naturally the best choice.

"Yes." Bosco first returned the nodded salute, then waved his hand and said in a harmonious voice, "You don't need to be so polite when you go out."

Tang En didn't respond, just remained silent. stand. He didn't have a good impression of Bosco, and the two of them didn't have any communication in the past few days. To be honest, Tang En suspects that Bo Lai's death, and the empty tomb after that, were all created by him. Such speculation is not unfounded. Although Borg has motives and people are smart enough, there is absolutely no such old-fashioned means and after-the-fact arrangements for not one drop of water can leak out.

Seeing that Tang En didn't talk to him, Fei Rui moved in his heart. The affair between Bolai and Tang En's had already spread in the station, and even Tang En had a lot of infamy for it. Fei Rui only thought that Tang En had opinions on the Bosco family, so Brace Oneself quickly stepped forward to take over the topic.

Bosco's eyes flashed when he saw this, but he didn't say anything. He talked to Ferry as if he didn't see it, and then inadvertently asked: "Tang En Captain, we Are you coming to the city soon?”

Such a question by name, and as Bosco’s identity in the Grey Cloth Armed Force, as long as Tang En has not officially turned his back on him, it can’t be avoided. . So, even if Tang En didn't think Bosco didn't know the scouts' results, he still said indifferently: "Yes, Minister, about ten miles away."

"Oh? It's finally here. Well." Bosco's face flashed a bit of exhaustion, and he stretched out his hand and squeezed his waist, "It seems that I am really old, and I can't hold it after a few days of riding."

Fei Rui blinked aside, and immediately knew that he was superfluous, glanced at Tang En's pale face, relieved a little, and then quickly bowed to say goodbye.

Tang En didn't hold back, and he also saw that Bosco seemed to have something to say to him.

"Since it's only about ten miles away, how about Tang En Captain, let's walk over together?" Bosco still had that smile on his face, as if nothing was in the heart, and he seemed to be everything. in control.

Tang En raised his eyebrows, met Bosco's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Okay, please!"

This place is close to the city, the mountain road gradually opens up, and the road beside it Also mostly flat grass, occasionally low mounds. Tang En and Bosco left the team and walked onto the grass together, walking diagonally towards the city.

The crowd behind them gradually dispersed as the scouts kept shouting and running, and then a few people, or a dozen people, walked towards Hanshui City every few minutes. After a while, twenty or thirty teams of people appeared intermittently on the avenue, looking like ants from a distance...
