Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

The guard nodded in agreement, then ran from front to back on horseback to pass on the news.

None of the coachmen, guards, servants, etc., complained privately.

At first, when they knew that the team leader was a young man, they were naturally a little unconvinced. But before they had gone two hundred miles, they encountered the first wave of thieves. Instead of hiding behind them in fear, the young leader dealt with them calmly.

First, they offered inducements. When they saw that the other gangsters were unwilling to compromise, they directly led others to kill them. The sharp darts were thrown out, killing and wounding three or five people. Finally, he took up the knife and went into battle in person. His cold posture made everyone look at him with admiration.

At last count, there were a dozen gangsters left in total, and one-third of them were killed by their young steward...

At this point, no one dares to look down on him or act against him.

All the way to this day, no matter whether it is accommodation, dealing with various gangsters, road bullies, or even exploitative petty officials, they have not hindered the progress of the team!

Later, someone familiar with the situation told the story, and everyone realized that the team leader was young, but he was a veteran who had been to the south of the Yangtze River and entered the grasslands. Even the royal court of the grasslands was a gangster!

In this way, it was another night of hurried travel. At dawn, everyone was tired, and the horses were a little weak in the legs and had a bad temper.

Yonglu finally asked to find a sheltered place to rest for the whole morning.

As a result, as soon as the camp was set up, a group of men and horses appeared in the distance, totaling two to three hundred people.

"alert!"

Everyone ignored their fatigue and drew out their swords, bows and arrows, and used the camp carriage as a cover to closely monitor the movements of the group of people.

Slowly, the team of men and horses approached, and the guard lying next to Yonglu suddenly shouted happily, "Steward, they put up a flag with 'Tai' written on it!"

Yonglu also saw it. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly, and then called the two guards, "Come on, come with me to have a look! Maybe it's my third uncle or eldest brother!"

Both guards are Chen Zhao's subordinates, the most trustworthy, and close to the Tai family.

At this moment, they grabbed Yonglu's arms from left to right and jumped out of the carriage.

In just a moment, the three of them arrived seven or eight feet away from the cavalry. Tai Yonglu recognized it at a glance. The person riding first on the horse was his grandfather. He was wearing a sheepskin jacket and a big hat. He was holding the reins with one arm and had a pipe and pot tucked into his belt.

"Grandpa, grandpa!" Tai Yonglu couldn't bear it anymore and ran forward!

Mr. Tai didn't recognize his grandson, but his voice was familiar.

He jumped off the horse and picked up his grandson. He laughed loudly and said, "Boy, it's really hard. Grandpa didn't even recognize you! It feels like you have grown taller after you went out!"

Yonglu's nose was sore. No matter how calm and thoughtful he was in front of outsiders, he would always be a child in front of his grandfather, a child who was protected and loved!

But he looked up at his grandfather's face, which was red from the wind and frost, and swallowed back the sourness.

Grandpa is old and he has grown up!

The old man was still asking, "Who did you come back with? Your Uncle Chen? Are your mother and Zhuzhu safe?"

Yong Lu shook his head and responded, "Grandpa, I am leading the team to transport grain to the border this time. Uncle Chen, brother Ruiyang, as well as my mother and sister are all in the south. Uncle Chen is buying grain one after another and transporting it back. It will probably last forever. Yue is also behind me, seven or eight days’ journey away!”

The old man was a little surprised. After all, Chen Zhao could safely leave such a big task to two and a half young men to lead the team.

But when he looked at his grandson who was obviously much more mature, he felt that what Chen Zhao did was good.

"Let's go to your camp first. If you have anything to say, it won't be too late." The two guards ran back to report the news in advance, and Yonglu took the old man and others away slowly. Behind the old man were the rest of the Tai family and fellow villagers from the surrounding villages. Those who knew Tai Yonglu spoke one after another.

Some praised Yonglu's future, some asked about the situation in the south of Yonglu, some mentioned their previous massacre of Rakshasa Japs, and some even talked about the situation at the border.

Tai Yonglu's heart felt hot and warm when he heard it. Even though he was still on the road, when his family came, it was equivalent to going home.

Unconsciously, his back relaxed three points, and it was no longer as stubborn and straight as before.

The old man patted his grandson on the shoulder, feeling a little distressed, but he still didn't say anything.

The small camp suddenly became more lively with two to three hundred people.

The scope of the conversation also spread from a few people to the entire camp. It was like thousands of ducks making a noise. Even Beifeng, who liked to listen in the corner, covered his ears and ran away!

Mr. Tai called several team captains, including Tai Jizu, Tai Jisheng, Zhang Tieniu, etc. The things that needed to be studied were not complicated.

Their mission here was to help transport food. Now that they have received Yonglu, they have completed part of it. They will continue to pick up Yongyue and even the rest of the Chen family's food transport team.

Finally, Tai Jisheng led a hundred people to help the grain transport team continue to the border. There are still about three hundred miles left. If everything goes well on the road, we will arrive in five days.

At this time, Mr. Tai and his people continue to go south, and they should be able to pick up Tai Yongyue.

Everyone agreed and set off immediately after eating.

Because there were new helpers joining, everyone in the convoy originally took a nap in the carriage, so that they could have a good rest without delaying their journey.

After wandering around for a long time, after five days, the grain transport team arrived at the border town.

The news was sent to the border guards, and the guards around He Xiong came to take over.

Yonglu often goes in and out of the military camp and is familiar with them, greeting them with a smile.

Several guards were happy, and one of them said to Tai Yonglu, "Little brother, General He is discussing official matters with the general, and asked us to come over and take over the food. General He said that the handover was completed, and asked the little brother to come over. The general has something to say. .”

Another guard couldn't help but praise, "In the past few days, your elder brother Yong'an has been killing like crazy, and his military exploits have almost caught up with His Highness the Sixth Highness. Your old man also led people to kill all the Rakshasa Japs who fled into the pass. Now you have led the team to transport military rations back. General He has always said that your family is born to be part of our border guard army, and your combined military merits are enough to make a general!"

"Yes," the other guards nodded, "You came back just when the army was short of food. It's so timely."

Tai Yonglu was young after all, so he listened with excitement, but he still remembered a few words of humility.

"My grandpa is getting older, and my eldest brother went into battle in a dangerous battle, so they deserve more credit. I just led the convoy on the road and killed a few bandits."

Several personal guards came here from this time. How could they not understand the young man's contradiction and pride? They all laughed and were soon busy handing over the food.

After He Xiong discussed military affairs with the general, he couldn't wait to come out to visit, and happened to meet Yonglu. He smiled and patted Yonglu on the shoulder, jokingly saying, "Oh, our timely food delivery steward is here!"

Everyone laughed, Yonglu blushed and scratched the back of his head.

"Let's go in and sit down. The general is waiting for you to speak." (End of Chapter)
