Chapter 523 Long Journey ([-])

On this day, the autumn weather was high and the air was cloudless.

A convoy of hundreds of vehicles left the city gate unhurriedly.

The people queuing up and waiting to enter the city had nothing to do, and stretched their necks to watch the excitement.I saw that most of the convoys in this row of convoys that could not be seen were large carriages, the horses pulling the carts were handsome, and the drivers who drove the carts were all strong and strong men.Beside the convoy were many young men on horses.

The one in the lead was tall and long-legged, with a handsome face, an outstanding demeanor, and condensed eyes.After being glanced at, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

Beside this young man was a vigorous young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a lively smile on his face.

These two people are brothers Shen You and Shen Jia.

Because I am going to the frontier army with my family, I have to bring a lot of clothes and luggage.Mrs. Xu wished she could pack all the things she could bring into the carriage, but the result was that the six carriages originally prepared were far from enough, and six more carriages were added to be barely enough.Shen Jia brought slightly fewer carriages, and there were ten carriages.

The rest of the emperor's personal guards are similar.Therefore, when they left the city today, when the carriages gathered at the gate of the city, the battle was so mighty that it frightened the officers and soldiers guarding the city.When it was found out that it was Shen You and his party, the city guards immediately changed their expressions and looked eager.

Shen You, the commander of Jinyiwei who had not been in office for a long time, was sent to the frontier army to take on important tasks in a blink of an eye.Such a young man has to be reused, which shows that the holy family is strong.It's too late to flatter such a character, who dares to provoke him.

"Fourth brother," Shen Jiace immediately stepped forward, walking side by side with Shen You, his handsome face was full of excitement: "Today is really a good day, suitable for a long journey."

Shen You hummed with a smile.

With Shen Jia around, there was never a deserted place.Shen Jia laughed and said: "It's a pity that there are too many carriages, and the speed is too slow. If you want to gallop, it will be impossible."

There were not only female relatives on the carriage, but also a bunch of children of different sizes.You have to do it slowly and steadily.Shen Jia was just talking casually.

Fang Peng quickly chased after him, and whistled at Shen Jia: "The two of us will go ahead for a while, and stop after running ten miles to wait for the convoy. Shall we go?"

Shen Jia's bones were already itchy, so she agreed without saying a word, and turned to Shen You, "Do you want to be together?"

Shen You smiled: "Ride your horses and run for a while, don't run too far, I won't go."

A group of people is headed by him, and he has to take care of the convoy.There are also a few restless masters in the carriage behind.He has to keep an eye on it all the time!
Fang Peng and Shen Jia each let out a yow, and rode their horses to gallop quickly.

Many carriages had their curtains lifted, some female family members looked at the bustle, some children shouted excitedly, and there was laughter everywhere, noisy and lively.

Shen You was actually not used to it.In the past, when I left Kyoto, I drove in silence and galloped. This was the first time I took my family on the road.It's nothing more than a slow speed, and there are voices of women's family members talking from time to time, and the laughter of children is one after another...

"father!"

Suddenly there was a clear and loud shout from behind.

Shen You's heart suddenly softened into spring water, he slowed down, and walked in parallel with Brother Xu who was poking his head and waving his hands and shouting for his father.Brother Xu was traveling a long distance for the first time, and he was so excited early in the morning that he called Shen You countless times along the way.

A soft and beautiful pretty face appeared by the car window with a smile, it was Feng Shaojun.

As soon as Shen You turned his head, he could see his wife and children, and his mood suddenly improved.

"I just left the city gate," Feng Shaojun slightly raised his voice, "At this speed, I'm afraid we won't be able to go far in a day."

Shen You nodded slightly: "You can travel forty miles a day."

When rushing on the road, one person and three horses can change riders, and can travel nearly two hundred miles a day.Under normal marching, it can also travel about a hundred miles.

With women and children, and so many carriages, don't think too fast, and put safety first.During the day, they have to stop several times to let everyone rest and rectify.It's not bad to be able to travel forty miles a day.

In this way, it will take at least 20 days to reach the border.

It was also the first time for Feng Shaojun to experience such a long journey, and he was quite interested: "I will also ride a horse later."

Shen You stretched his brows and smiled: "Okay."

Brother Xu immediately reached out and hugged his mother's neck tightly, and shouted loudly: "I want it too."

He's just there for the fun of it.

Feng Shaojun laughed, and patted his son's firm butt lightly: "You are still young, wait for two years, let your father take you to ride a horse."

While joking, the carriage at the end of the convoy also left the city gate.A caravan stretches forward on the official road, which is spectacular.Cui Yuanhan, who came to see him off, sent him ten li away from the city gate before reluctantly saying goodbye to Shen You and Feng Shaojun.

"Cousin, take care all the way." Cui Yuanhan repeatedly asked: "After arriving at the border and settling down, write back immediately. If you are short of money, just open your mouth."

Feng Shaojun smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I'm sure I won't be polite to you. Don't send it away, go back!"

Cui Yuanhan nodded, waved and watched the convoy go away.A pair of eyes were quietly reddened, and a few tears fell.He stayed where he was for a long time before wiping his tears with his sleeves and riding his horse back.

When I returned to Cui's house, I saw Mrs. Xu wiping away tears.

Cui Yuanhan endured his sorrow and comforted Xu: "Don't be sad, grandma. I'm going to see them off today. There are hundreds of carriages in a group, and there are quite a few people going with them. Even when we get to the border, it won't be deserted."

Xu choked up and said, "I just can't bear to part with Brother Xu."

Shen You and Feng Shaojun have already grown up, and they each have errands to go to the border, so there is nothing to worry about.The Xu family is the great-grandson who is reluctant to raise him alone.

Cui Yuanhan had no choice but to comfort him in every possible way.Xu cried for a while, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Cui Yuanhan asked in a low voice: "Grandmother, not long after Shen You was promoted, the Commander of Jin Yiwei did a good job, why was he suddenly sent to serve in the frontier army?"

Among them, there is clearly something strange.

However, Mrs. Xu was tight-lipped and refused to reveal a word: "This is the order of the emperor. I think the emperor wants to reorganize the frontier army. He can't trust others, so he sent Shen You there."

Cui Yuanhan has been working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for two years, and his knowledge is far from what he used to be.Ever since I found out about this, I knew something was wrong.However, Xu has been refusing to say it clearly, and Cui Yuanhan has no choice but to suppress the mystery.

"Your Majesty's deeds are really very people can guess." Cui Yuanhan said with a casual smile: "Shen You and the others went to the frontier army, and even let Zhao Wangshizi and the county king and others from Prince Fu's mansion go with them."

Xu's mouth responded: "This is all the mighty grace of the emperor."

A heart was lifted secretly.

Emperor Qing'an's intentions can only be glimpsed by those who know the inside story.This is to warn Prince Zhao Wangfu not to act rashly with the three sons of King Zhao as hostages.I don't know if this journey will be safe or not.
