"Han law, stealing forbidden objects at the border passes, and those who come out of the officials and pawns are all in the same law as thieves, and they should die!""
Fu knows, the official will be fined four taels for negligence!"
Before Ren Hong led the horse out of the house, he repeated the seriousness of the matter to the people in Suizhong: "Ling Hu Suichang bought the money, Liu and the others raped the goods, and the people of Sui failed to notice it, if the law is strictly followed, everyone present will be fined four taels each, and the border time will be increased by two years!"
”The gold of the Han Dynasty is the upper currency, one tael is about 16 grams, and four taels of gold is equivalent to 2500 five baht, which is not a small amount, which is equivalent to half a year's ration for ordinary flints."
For the sake of today's plan, the only way to take the initiative to report this case is to not only not have to pay a fine, but even a reward!"
After Ren Hong moved out of his "backer" to bluff everyone, he frightened them and lured them to their advantage, so that they could stand in the same boat with him: "I rushed to the barrier city overnight to report to the lieutenant in the middle of the city, and the second and third sons stayed in the flint, watching the criminals, if it goes well, I will be able to return when the sky is bright!"
”"We must be optimistic about Fengsui and wait for the good news of Suichang!"
Han Dare is gearing up, Lu Guangsu also hopes to make meritorious service to make up for his previous concealment of drinking and neglect, and Zhao Hu'er takes the initiative to guard Fengsui, with these three combat forces, Posui should be fine."
I hope so."
Ren Hong can't help it, the central lieutenant has to go in person, but it's a pity that he doesn't know how to do the trick, so he can only trust these people.At this time, it was dark outside, and Ren Hong rode a turnip, carefully marching on the mountain road, and he had to travel forty or fifty miles overnight to reach the barrier city where the central governor was stationed.Ren Hong had a very good meal when he was in the hanging spring, he didn't eat less sheep liver and other things, he didn't get night blindness, and there was a crescent moon hanging in the sky, so he provided a point light source, and the first ten miles of the road went very smoothly.But as the crescent moon was obscured by the clouds, the light source was gone, and when he turned around, the broken flint was completely hidden in the darkness, and in the vast wilderness between the Great Wall and the Tunshu area, he was the only one and the same as a horse.The autumn wind blew at night, making people shiver, and what was worse was that the pine torch in his hand was also blown out by the cold wind, and the wind was so strong that he couldn't even relight the fire, so he could only wrap the sheepskin fur on his body, and his legs couldn't help but clamp tighter.Ren Hong's riding skills can't be said to be good, after all, he has only practiced for half a year, and this is the first time to ride at night, so it is inevitable that he is a little nervous.The only thing he could rely on now was the turnip that sat down.The eyes of horses have better vision at night than humans, and there is a film behind the retina, which makes walking at night as if walking on the ground.However, it also has its drawbacks, although it has a wide field of vision, it has a poor sense of distance from nearby objects and is easily frightened.When Ren Hong manipulated the radish and bypassed the wind-eroded rocks of a Yadan landform, it actually stepped on the gravel, and its hind feet slipped, and it was suddenly shocked, jumping and jumping, and actually threw Ren Hong off the horse!
Then he hissed and ran away!"
You brute."
Ren Hong got up from the pile of rubble with difficulty, fortunately he didn't hit his head, he endured the pain in his shoulder, put his hand in his mouth, whistled several times, and shouted the name of the horse, but what answered him was only the whistling autumn wind He was suddenly depressed, and he was still half the way away from the barrier city of the central governor, and it was estimated that it was dawn when he walked there."
Could it be that I am really the second in Di Shan, and the great talent of Zhida is sparse" For a while, Ren Hong only felt that the whole world was surrounded by darkness.But he gritted his teeth again: "Ren Hong, Ren Hong, Fu Jiezi is right to let you come to Biansai to practice, if you can't even get over such a small bump, do you still want to go to the Western Regions?"
Do you still want to do big things, change your destiny, and change the times?
He used his hands and feet at the same time, climbed back to the road with difficulty, and walked forward against the wind, even if he climbed, he had to climb to the barrier city, this matter was not only related to his future, but also related to the lives of the people who broke the Sui!
At this time, a familiar neighing sounded in his ears, and he left Ren Hong's horse, but at this time he stepped back to find him with small steps."
Good radish, Dad didn't hurt you in vain!"
Ren Hong hugged the radish tightly, tears were in his eyes, and he only felt that the warmth from the horse was so comfortable.After turning over and getting on his horse again, Ren Hong slowed down, and the next twenty miles were much better, and in the middle of the moon, he could already see the faint light of the barrier city in the distance, which was the torch of the night watchman who kept going all night.It's time to get started!
As the residence of the Central Governor's Mansion and the Buguang Waiting Officer, the Buguang barrier was three times the size of the Hanging Spring, but the walls were higher and thicker, and the rammed earth was built with reeds.Even in the middle of the night, there were soldiers guarding the barrier city, and torches were planted on the side of the road, and they were far away, and they found Ren Hong, who was riding closer, "Who is coming?"
”"Break the Suisui Chang Ren Hong."
Ren Hong held high the semi-seal of the hand-me-down and flint that he had only obtained the day before yesterday, and sent it up from the hanging wooden basket.The guard above was a tun chief, and after he checked that the talisman was correct, he still did not open the barrier, but shone his face with a torch: "It turned out to be Ren Hong, didn't you just go to Po Sui to go to the post, why did you come here overnight." ”But it is Ren Hong's old acquaintance, Su Yannian, who has fought twice in Hanging Springs, he and Chen Pengzu are both cronies of the central governor, and it is their turn to guard the obstacle today.Ren Hong was immediately overjoyed: "It turned out to be Brother Su, I have an urgent matter to visit the central lieutenant!"
”Su Yannian shook his head and said: "According to military law, if you are waiting for an emergency, you should tell it with a beacon, today is not a flying sand fog and you can't see the fire, why do you want to come in person?"
”Ren Hong wanted to speak and stopped, there were many small officials and soldiers standing on the barrier city, what if there were people involved?
Su Yannian understood: "Since it's inconvenient to say, I won't ask much, but according to military law, before the rooster crows, unless an envoy arrives with an urgent report of the military situation, outsiders are not allowed to enter the obstacle."
Rules are rules, Ren Hong, you better wait outside. ”In other words, Ren Hong would think that he was deliberately making it difficult to ask for a bribe, but above it was Su Yannian, the bearded tun chief had a rough temperament, and he also admired Ren Hong, so it shouldn't be like this.Ren Hong once heard that during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Guang was captured in the Han-Hungarian War, and after fleeing back from the horse, he was dismissed as a commoner.Once he and Yingyin Hou Guanping shot in the south mountain of Lantian, and returned late from drinking, and when he went to Baling Pavilion, he was stopped by Baling Lieutenant.Li Guang's entourage said that this was the late General Li.Captain Baling said: "Today's general is not allowed to travel at night, let alone the general?"
”So Li Guang could only spend the night under the pavilion, and he had to be released at dawn.A few years later, Li Guang was reappointed, and he actually recruited Naha Ling Lieutenant to accompany the army, and found an excuse in the army to behead him!
It can be seen that Li Guang, a "famous general", has a small stomach.But as a general, he is not allowed to make an exception to cross the pavilion barrier at night, what else does Ren Hong, the little flint, have to say?
He could only sit cross-legged under the barrier and wait.Su Yannian threw down a leather bag."
It's cold outside, drink some wine to warm up!"
The yellow rice wine was cold at first, but after a few sips, it also produced a trace of warmth, just like the hope in Ren Hong's heart, which was slowly expanding.Although Su Yannian knew Ren Hong, he strictly followed the military law and did not open the back door for him, you can say that he was pedantic and did not know how to be flexible, but it also means that maybe the border plug of the Han Dynasty did not rot to the root until a long time later, the first rooster crow sounded, and the gate of the barrier city slowly opened.Su Yannian was still standing on the barrier, he didn't leave his post without permission, it was Chen Pengzu who came out, he was woken up by Su Yannian, there was still a big eye feces in the corner of his eyes, and he was surprised when he saw Ren Hong: "It's really you, didn't I just send you to Po Sui to take up the post the day before yesterday, what happened?"
”"Brother Chen, brother has something to ask you."
Ren Hong's hands were so cold that Chen Pengzu couldn't help but shiver."
Brother Chen is a confidant of the Central Governor, do you know what is the relationship between the Central Governor and the Broken Hu Waiting Officer?"
Chen Pengzu was inexplicable: "What are you asking about?"
The lieutenant of the central part of the country was newly transferred from Guanzhong this year, and the Houguan of Pohu had served in Dunhuang for many years, and the two had never met each other a few times, and the relationship was only between a boss and a subordinate. ”Ren Hong put his mind at ease, the rooster has passed, will the dawn be far away?
He then bowed his hand to Chen Pengzu and said in a low voice: "My brother is here today because of a great merit, and I want to share it with Brother Chen!"
”"About the death of Liu Suichang, the predecessor of Po Sui, about the traitorous things" "About, how to make up for it, a big hole in Dunhuang's defense!"
”At the same time, in the broken Sui on the south bank of the Shule River, the first rooster crow also sounded in the chicken on the wall, Lu Guangsu's eyes were a little red, according to Ren Hong's instructions, he didn't sleep all night, holding a spear to guard the door of the Fengsui courtyard, and exhaled after hearing the rooster's crow."
It's almost dawn, and the flint has arrived at the barrier city" But at this moment, the big black dog tied to the outside of the courtyard suddenly barked wildly!
Immediately, from the house where the flints were sleeping, an exclamation came: "Someone has escaped over the wall!"
