    Facing the morning breeze, a team of a hundred people came out of the fog guarding ten large carriages.  Currently, Mei Jingfeng is taking the lead, followed closely by Feng Jinxian and Liu Mei. Wu Yifan is in the middle to provide support, followed by Sun Luo, the two deputy chief escorts, and the rear. Each carriage is manned by two escorts and four riders.  The escorts and escorts this time were carefully selected, elites with rich experience and strong martial arts.

    The chief bodyguard and the deputy chief bodyguard both rode red date horses, the bodyguards rode yellow geldings, and the so-called eight bodyguards rode handsome white horses in groups of four, one in front and one in front.

    Since it is estimated that the task from the capital to the thirteen counties affected by the disaster is lighter, which is the first county to be reached, Anqing County, the previous journey should be relatively smooth, because there are checkpoints every ten miles along the way.  With a large number of Daxia troops, the bandits would not rob in this unfavorable place, so there was no need to ask people to explore this section of the road, and they could just pass by.

    Occasionally, a businessman who got up early in the morning would suddenly see a large group of people arriving suddenly in his daze. Just when he was about to scream in panic, the group had already swept away the dust on the ground, leaving only one person shouting, "  Damn me!"

    After running northwest for more than ten miles out of the city, we climbed over a small hillside and reached the first checkpoint today. Mr. Mei, who was walking in front, suddenly lifted the reins and stood motionless on the red date horse.  , staring closely down the slope.  Deputy escort leader Feng who was following him immediately raised his hand, and the convoy behind him immediately stopped one after another without any panic. It can be seen that the escorts and the horse drivers are both rare masters.

    "Is that Mr. Mei's bodyguard in front of you?" A general in full armor came out of the crowd and shouted loudly, "We are under Prince Rui and have been ordered to come to escort the relief funds." As he said this, he saw a man dressed in white dressed as a scribe.  Prince Rui rode over on a black horse.

    After walking ten feet away, the horse stood up neighing, and then listened steadily. Everyone secretly praised him, what a handsome skill!

    "I've met Mr. Mei, the escort chief!" He stopped and bowed his hands as a junior, "The last time I met Mr. Wu and your wife were at the market. It's been almost half a year." Hearing this, Mei was shocked.  Feng gave up his worries and immediately returned the gift, "Thank you for the prince's favor. Head escort Wu is in the escort team. I don't know what Prince Rui's instructions are when he comes in person."

    "Don't dare to give instructions! Nowadays, the disaster in the thirteen counties in the northwest is getting more serious. Although the five million disaster fund is just a drop in the bucket, it is better than nothing. This trip is extremely important. According to the news, there are many thieves  I am ready to make a move. Considering the threats along the way, I have asked the emperor to send another five hundred cavalry with half a month's worth of dry food and drinking water to escort Mr. Mei's escort. These five hundred cavalry are all capable people who have followed me in my expeditions east and west.  ", then waved his hand.

    "Come out!" A loud roar was heard. Under the leadership of the leading general, a charge was made. The peaceful morning was suddenly broken by the exciting thump of horse hooves.

    "Good guy! Who are you afraid of kidnapping the escort now?" The two deputy escort chiefs who followed up said with great joy.

    "This is General He. Brother Wu, you saw him last time," he said with a slight nod to Wu Yifan who ran forward.

    The situation at this time was such that some were happy and some were sad. Seeing Prince Rui suddenly thrust in, the faces of the four white horse guards in front were extremely exciting!

    "The Marquis entrusted this errand to eight of them, but at this moment Prince Rui intervened. Where would they go?  But it happened that at this time, he could not get instructions from the Marquis.

    Gritting his teeth, a man who looked like the leader of the eight guards got off his horse, stepped forward and knelt down to Prince Rui and said, "Little Liang Shang, the chief guard of Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, meets Prince Rui." Prince Rui just responded,  Then he waved his hand and signaled him to go aside, and said loudly and hurriedly, "I have been ordered by the Marquis to escort the escort all the way. Your Majesty has already left all this matter to the Marquis. His Highness, the Prince, is doing this."  How do people explain themselves in front of the Marquis?"

    "Hmph! Don't talk too much about the prince. This time, I have been ordered by the emperor to personally supervise you. Do you want to read the imperial edict!?"

    Liang Shang quickly replied "I don't dare". They usually look very majestic, but in front of these royal families, they are just ants. Liang Shang knows this very clearly. Even if they don't move their heads, they don't know what's going on.  So I had no choice but to accept this fact.

    "Since you have no objections, then stand down!"

    After defeating Liang Shang, everyone got acquainted with each other and assigned tasks. The large army began to march, with all five hundred cavalry clearing the way in front. At this time, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

    Yes, under the escort of a large army, which blind thief would dare to rob the escort!

    "However, after seeing Prince Rui leading five hundred cavalry to join the escort team, Wu Yifan didn't feel much relieved and couldn't help but feel even moreBe careful.

    It's funny to say that maybe the five hundred soldiers joined too suddenly. Along the way, in some harsh mountains and steep mountains, a few thieves did pop up, but before they could figure out what was going on,  He was charged by five hundred cavalry and was defeated. He threw away his armor and fled.

    There was even a funny scene. Not long ago, when the team was walking by the forest road, a man suddenly jumped out of the tree with a kitchen knife in his hand. He just said, "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree" When I opened my eyes,  Seeing the five hundred shining weapons, he was so frightened that he dropped his kitchen knife and said, "I'm passing by, cutting wood." After saying that, he ran into the dense forest like a puff of smoke, leaving the five hundred cavalrymen dumbfounded.  .

    After the escort car passed through seven or eight counties without any danger, the team has reached the center of thirteen counties.  On this day, when the team arrived at Kwai Tsing County, the thirteenth county in the northwest, after passing this county, there were five counties that were more seriously affected by the disaster, so they stopped at an inn with a tea hanging.

    Five hundred soldiers dismounted and stood on guard, while several deputy heads of the escort agency and Prince Rui entered the tea tent outside under the leadership of Mei Jingfeng.

    The waiter had already seen the arrival of this large group of people, and his eyes were green, but when he saw that only eight people had come in, he immediately went to greet him, "Sir, the tea is here!" Everyone was surprised when they saw the clear tea in the tea bowl.  Feeling full of doubts, Feng Jinxian asked the waiter: "Waiter, isn't there a drought in the northwest? Why do you still have such good tea here?"

    "Alas! Sir, haven't you seen this along the way? There is no water for dozens of miles around here. The small river flowing through our area has dried up long ago. It is a blessing from our ancestors. We still have a few wells that still produce water.  But I'm afraid it won't last long. Our tea is a time-honored brand that has been passed down for generations. The shopkeeper is reluctant to part with the ancestral business passed down from his ancestors, so he prepares a bowl of tea for the people who are fleeing. But there are regulations, no matter who.  Only one bowl per person, no more!" After saying that, he shook the empty teapot.
