Obviously, when the son grows up and becomes sensible, he has become the prince's son-in-law again, and his weight in the eyes of his parents has also increased a lot! After dealing with his mother's nagging, Du Long got on his horse. After saying hello, he led more than a hundred people and galloped straight to the south gate. Apart from Xia Qinglian, Du Caini, Su Jinbao, and Yuan Yu who set off with him from the Du Mansion, there were also martial arts master Lao Ma and a dozen people led by Fu Bo, and finally the elite team of one hundred people. He is an elite general trained by the Du Mansion! More than a hundred people rode horses and galloped along the spacious main road of the capital, and arrived at the south gate in less than half an hour. Seeing that their armor was bright and they were wearing Du's badge and flag, the gate guards would not be stupid. To block it, let it go straight away! After leaving the south city gate, there were already a dozen people waiting there, including Yue Xiaoshan, Zeng Wan'er, Lin Shi, Xu Luyin, and even Yang Yunfeng, the third son of the Yang family. With one or two guards, Princess Huofeng and Liu Zixin have not arrived yet! "I said brother! It took only one night, and you have assembled such a large team? Haha, you really deserve to be the king's son-in-law!" Seeing Du Long leading a group of people out of the city gate in a mighty manner , Yue Xiaoshan patted his horse and greeted him with a look of surprise and envy. "Let Brother Xiaoshan laugh! Hehe!" Du Long clasped his whip in both hands and smiled, then looked at Yang Yunfeng who was a little far away, turned his head and winked at Du Caini and said with a smile: "Hey, sister Caini! Your guardian The Flower Messenger is here too! You couldn't be the one who went to invite him last night, right?" Du Caini blushed on the spot, cast a glance at him but didn't answer, she waved her whip and patted the horse to meet Yang Yunfeng, and said softly, "Yunfeng! Why are you here?" "Hehe, I ran into Xiao Shan on the way home yesterday, and I heard about your travel plans, so I decided to join in the fun together. Anyway, there is nothing to do when you are free after the Chinese New Year!" Yang Yunfeng explained the reason why he appeared here. explained it again. Only then did Du Long and the others understand why he, an unplanned person, would appear here. It's a coincidence that it's better to come sooner than later!
"Wan'er! You guys came so early! Hehe!" Su Jinbao had already set his sights on Zeng Waner, a talented woman, and greeted her immediately. Zeng Wan'er was very speechless about his thick-skinned character, she gave him a blank look, but ignored him, pretending to chat with Lin Shi and Xu Luyin at the side, and left Su Huobao there! Fortunately, a rush of hoofbeats saved him and attracted everyone's attention! I saw Princess Huofeng rushing out of the south city gate with an elite imperial guards. She was dressed in fiery red, and she was riding on a blood-red war horse. There is a heroic feeling in the person, and the whole person appears in everyone's sight like a ball of fire! "Ah! Why are you so early? Did you miss me?" Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, and everyone heard Princess Huofeng's clear and melodious shout from a long distance away. "Except for you, Zixin is the only one missing!" Du Caini spoke loudly. "Zixin? Her father is Zhongshuling, he is always strict, so he probably won't let him out!" Princess Huofeng replied a little depressed, and within a few words, her war horse had already run to Du Long. In the end, she really guessed it right. Everyone waited until Chen Shi did not see Liu Zixin appearing, and after waiting for another half an hour, they had to leave as a whole team, and hurried all the way to the southwest along the official road. This group of people galloping on the official road was quite conspicuous, and many pedestrians along the way gave way one after another, watching curiously at their majestic and high-speed passing. In order to hurry, Du Long and others had to advance so ostentatiously. There is no way, from the capital city to Fengli County, you have to cross the boundaries of two state capitals, a total of more than a thousand miles. Even if the horses in this world are very strong, it will take two or three days to reach the destination in a hurry! If they rely on walking, it will take more than ten days to reach their destination. They don't have that much time to waste on the road. After all, they have to rush back to the academy to report in more than ten days! A group of more than two hundred people left the boundary of the capital, and the scenery along the way was beautiful. After all, this country has been peaceful for so many years, and the people under the rule live and work in peace and contentment, and there is a peaceful natural landscape everywhere. After lunch in a small town, everyone took a break, fed the horses enough water and fodder, and then continued to drive fast. In the afternoon, they basically passed the city without entering, and went directly around the city, heading southwest. After running for more than 200 miles, watching the sunset, everyone began to prepare to find a place to rest tonight. It never occurred to me that Du Long and the others missed a city where they could have rested due to their inexperience. Seeing that it was getting dark, they didn't want to turn around and run twenty or thirty miles back to that city. Grass! A group of people got together and spread out the map, and after a short discussion, they made a decision. There is a village going forward here, where they can rest overnight! A group of more than two hundred people galloped rapidly on their horses, which had already alarmed the villagers. Many people came out of their homes one after another, looking curiously at the group of elite cavalry who had suddenly visited. There has been no war for a long time, and this state capital is closer to the capital. Apart from being curious about these strange visitors, the villagers don't feel too scared. They are all watching with great interest as this team of brightly armored cavalry enters the village ! Du Long gathered his horse and led the team to stop, and came to the place where the villagers were densest and said loudly, "Which of you is the village chief here?" Among the crowd, a vigorous old man stepped out, cupped his hands and smiled at Du Long, "The old man is the village chief of Chenjiazhuang. I wonder if there is anything you can do for us?"
"Old man! We are rushing to Xiguzhou. We never thought of missing the last main city where we can rest. It is getting dark soon. I would like to borrow your village for a night's rest. Is it convenient?" Du Long asked politely. The old village chief said. "This..." The old village chief looked at the team of more than 200 people with a bit of embarrassment. To be honest, their entire village didn't have that many people. How could there be so much space for more than 200 people to live in? . "Old man! We have a marching tent, and we just want to trouble you to cook a dinner. Of course, we will pay the corresponding fee!" Du Long obviously saw what the old village chief was worried about, so he explained. When I came out this time, in order to speed up the march, I didn't bring too many things. Everyone only brought some emergency dry food. If you can have a delicious dinner, who would like to eat those cold dry food! "Okay! If that's the case, there's no problem. I'm going to gather people right now. It happens that our village ancestral hall has tables and chairs for banquets. It should be no problem to welcome more than two hundred people!" The old village head replied with a warm smile, and then So I started to ask a few young people around me to recruit people. At this moment, Du Long led his team into the village with the old village chief, came to a large ancestral hall, looked up and saw the plaque of Chen's ancestral hall hanging on the gate, Du Long asked curiously: "Old man Is everyone in your village surnamed Chen? This ancestral hall is not small!" "Hehe! The men in this village are all surnamed Chen. As for the women, some of the married people from other villages are not surnamed Chen, but most of the others are also surnamed Chen!" A famous general, later he came back and spent money to build this ancestral hall. During the holidays, people in our village like to gather here for banquets. There is no shortage of anything here. Once every household will send out some food, meat and vegetables. Make sure to prepare a delicious dinner for your son!"
