    The area of ??Jingyuan Road is very peculiar, with a large geographical span. It goes up to the northwest and meets Xixia, and goes down to the southeast to be adjacent to Fengxiang Mansion. Weizhou is just below it, and Huizhou is at the top, where it meets Xixia.  .

    The north of Roulang Mountain is Xixia's "Xishhou Baotai Army Supervisor" and the south means Jingyuan Road Huizhou.

    Gu Xiuyuan, who left Shaanxi Road, complained non-stop on the road. He ran to Shaanxi Road to serve as a prisoner. He had to go to the post not long after he got home, and he had to run back after he had just taken office. It was really running on both sides.  break.

    After the rebirth of this world, the general direction of activities is towards the northwest and south, and has never been to the border junction. This has been escorted because of urgency, so the route given by the transshipment department is based on the shortest distance.

    The shortest route is along the border to the northwest until the north of Roulang Mountain. After leaving Shaanxi Road and walking down for several tens of miles, there are almost no houses in sight except for some small posthouses in Zhaibao.

    Even if it is a bit crowded, there are only three or five small courtyards and a dozen or so low-grass huts, and there is not much popularity.  Since it was the first time for Gu Xiuyuan to pass by here, he was very touched when he saw this sparse and desolate scene.

    "My lord, this is the boundary of Dingbian Junzhou on Huanqing Road. To the north is Weizhou in Xixia, Jingsai Military Supervision Division." The chief of the Imperial Army explained to Gu Xiuyuan.

    Because of the friction between the two parties all the year round, the border area is often deserted, even a relatively safe Huating is so decadent, not to mention the place where the two armies are handed over.

    Five people are in the army, why are they? Among the ten forbidden troops given by Fang Jun, there is a corps leader and a special leader.  The head of the corps was Wang Changping, and the head of the division was Wu Zhenjiang.

    For the sake of convenience, Gu Xiuyuan also gave Wang Changping and Wu Zhenjiang the jurisdiction of the Fifteenth Chamber Army sent by Lu Huainan.

    "Okay, how long does it take to get to Huizhou?" Gu Xiuyuan asked Wu Zhenjiang when he heard the words and looked away from Yuanwang.

    Wu Zhenjiang tilted his head and counted for a while, and replied: "If you hurry on the road, you can arrive within five days. If there is an accident on the road, it will be hard to say"

    Wu Zhenjiang didn't finish his words, but Gu Xiuyuan already understood. After all, he had heard this many times, and almost everyone would know that it was not easy to escort military supplies on the Northwest Road.

    Gu Xiuyuan did not continue to answer, but turned his head to look at the large group of people behind him, and then at the sky. It was already past noon, and the team had already walked dozens of miles away from Shaanxi Road.

    "It should be almost to the post station ahead, let's go down and rest when we arrive at the post station." Gu Xiuyuan instructed Wu Zhenjiang and Wang Changping.

    ?Because the imperial court wanted to send troops to the northwest, the military stations and post stations in the northwest had been rebuilt as early as when Fan Xianggong was in charge of the two routes of economic strategy and appeasement.

    Every 20 to 30 miles on the roads in the northwest, there will be a military depot, and every 40 to 50 miles there will be a post station, and there are barracks where soldiers, civilians or servants live.

    It was already an hour when we arrived at the post station, because he was ordered to escort and Gu Xiuyuan was in charge of the prison, and he was considered the highest-ranking person here, so the people in the post station were waiting outside to greet him early.

    The post station has already prepared food, cabbage broth, millet rice and white flour steamed buns with various grains and steamed buns. The post station cannot accommodate so many people, so a long table was set up outside the barracks.

    Escorting military resources, the Imperial Army and the Xiang Army naturally would not eat with the militiamen. They set up three other tables in the lobby of the inn, and the quality of the food must be better than that of the militiamen outside.

    Gu Xiuyuan and Zhang Hong hadn't dismounted yet. Looking outside, most of the peasants were not in a hurry to eat. Instead, they slowly set up the vehicles loaded with goods, fetched water and fetched fodder, and waited on the mules and horses first.  eat.

    Gu Xiuyuan was a little puzzled for a while, and looked at Zhang Hong beside him suspiciously. Zhang Hong nodded and said in a low voice, "They all want to avoid accidents on the road. If the mules and horses can't continue to work, they will hire people."  Pull the cart"

    After hearing this, Gu Xiuyuan felt a little helpless. He wanted to say something but couldn't say it. There was no way.

    Dismounting alone, Gu Xiuyuan patted the head of the horse he was riding, and told Zhang Hong: "After feeding the horse, come in and eat quickly." After finishing speaking, he straightened his clothes and walked towards the post station.

    The lobby on the first floor of the inn was already occupied by the Forbidden Army and the Xiang Army. After Gu Xiuyuan entered, a group of people immediately stood together, put down their bowls and chopsticks and bowed their heads and cupped their fists to salute him.

    "I've seen you, my lord!"

      To be quite angry, Gu Xiuyuan thought in his heart, it seems that the saying that people are iron rice is steel is right!

    Nodding his head, he took a steamed bun from a table next to him and took a bite. The taste was not bad, like the old noodle steamed buns from the north of the river, soft and sweet.

    "Don't be restrained, let's all sit down and eat." Gu Xiuyuan swallowed the steamed buns in his mouth, waved to everyone, and said with a smile.

    Despite this, most people are still not used to it, but they are no longer as restrained as before, and they all lowered their heads and started eating.

    Gu Xiuyuan looked at the food utensils on Wu Zhenjiang's table in front of him, and there was not much food left in the bucket and basin, so he asked again: "Is there still enough food?"

    Wu Zhenjiang was slightly stunned, not only him, but everyone else at the table did not expect that Gu Xiuyuan would ask them if they had enough to eat. After realizing it, Wu Zhenjiang bowed and replied: "My lord, enough is enough."

    Gu Xiuyuan didn't speak, but nodded, watching Zhang Hong and the other three outside also came in after finishing their work, and then sat in a corner casually, continuing to eat with the steamed buns he just took.

    "My lord" The three of Zhang Hong might not have thought that Gu Xiuyuan would find a random corner in the lobby to eat the leftovers of the soldiers, and they couldn't help being surprised.

    "It's okay, you guys hurry up and bring something to eat, I can't just eat steamed buns, Zhang Yi, serve me a bowl of soup." Gu Xiuyuan frowned, and waved his sleeves nonchalantly, signaling that they don't need to make any special arrangements.

    Seeing Gu Xiuyuan like this, the Imperial Army and Xiang Army in the room were even more surprised and speechless. These people had all served as escorts, but they had never seen that prisoner eating and drinking with soldiers like him.  Eat leftovers.

    Gu Xiuyuan took the soup bowl from Zhang Yi, didn't look at what kind of soup it was, took a sip straight away, swallowed the choked steamed buns and said casually: "Hurry up and eat, and leave when you're done.  Blame my military law for being ruthless."

    "My lord, don't worry, I don't need my lords to enforce the military law. I will definitely make them look good!" Wu Zhenjiang was the highest status among the group, so he stood up and answered.

    "Okay, I should eat too, don't even look at it, eat it and go out quickly, I will panic when I am watched."

    Gu Xiuyuan made a joke at random, which eased the oppressive atmosphere. The soldiers all smiled, and Gu Xiuyuan's figure had appeared in the hearts of a group of soldiers.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
