A few days have passed in the blink of an eye, Chen Mu has done a good job of training in the fields cultivated by the guard, and several of his subordinates are familiar with his queue and battle formation, and although the time is still short, it is not very effective, although the soldiers are always calling for hunger, but the queue is always better than not practicing like that. Bai Yuanjie also took the time to come over and take a look, but he didn't come up to say anything to Chen Mu, he just watched them practice from a distance, and then went to another place.

Chen Mu realized it later, and he couldn't figure out what Bai Yuanjie meant. Within a few days, a Bai clan's own soldiers came to him to send a message to prepare for the departure and asked him to bring all his six bannermen.

The only remaining brown rice in the house had already been eaten by Chen Mu, and he got some rice from the yamen of the hundred households with a shy face, and handed it over to Shao Tingda's Hun family to hype up military rations for consumption on the road. The day before leaving, Chen Xiaoqi was dizzy with hunger, but the lives of the Zhuding under Zuo Jin's banner were not easy, so he didn't have the idea of beating them. Came to this world for more than ten days without eating the smell of meat, gluttonous mouth full of liquid, simply carried the bird gun out of the guard wanted to go out to hunt some game, how did he walk two miles to see a rabbit but put an empty gun, for a time the birds were frightened all flew away, the rabbit and the fox ran nothing.

Fortunately, on the way back to the guardhouse, I found a bunch of wild vegetables in the backyard of someone else's house, picked up a few berries, and went home to clean up the bottom of the jar, mixed with water, and boiled two large bowls of soup with salt.

Chen Mu made a lot of money in his dream, and specially hired a cook to cook meat for himself, making a plate and a plate! At the end of the dream, an emperor suddenly appeared to want to connect him to the nine clans, because - my Ming military attache is not allowed to do business!

The next day, Chen Mu, who was scared and covered in cold sweat in the morning, washed his face and filled his face with water bladders under the service of Wei Balang, and asked Xiao Balang to go on errands and gather the bannermen to dress neatly, pack up their armor with military rations, and go to the avenue outside the guard to wait for Bai Yuanjie together.

On the way, Chen Mu still thought, isn't this dream a fart, who said that the officials of the DPRK can't do business!

They were not the only ones waiting outside the guard, there was already another small flag waiting outside. Compared with these crooked melons and cracked dates under Chen Mu's banner, the small flag of the people looks much better, not to mention the eleven people in the small banner, and there are two pack horses, and the mental state of the military households under them is also not bad.

These military households didn't say anything when they saw Chen Mu and the others, and they didn't look up to see each other, and most of the military households had a one-sided relationship with each other, because the flag officer was present just making eye contact or nodding to say hello. However, when their little flag officer saw Chen Mu, he stepped forward with a smile and said: "You are Chen Xiaoqi, I have always heard people talk about you practicing in the fields outside the city recently, I am Zhang Yongshou, a subordinate of Wang Baihu, I have seen it!" ”

Zhang Yongshou looks similar in age to Chen Mu, but his clothes are not as shabby as Chen Xiaoqi, although he is wearing a red mandarin duck jacket, he has a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a pair of fast-soled boots with fine skin, plus his lips and teeth are white and he looks like a noble son, so that Chen Xiaoqi can't help but feel a little ashamed of himself, but he has a lot of good feelings for him, nodded and smiled: "I have seen Zhang Xiaoqi, Chen Mu is a subordinate of 100 households in Xiabai." Wang Baihu is also going to Guangzhou Mansion this time? ”

Zhang Yongshou did not respond to Chen Mu's words, but looked at the six flagmen standing in a queue behind Chen Mu with a smile, and said to Chen Mu: "Chen Xiaoqi has a way of training, and this time he will support each other on the way to Guangzhou, and he will rely on Xiaoqi to take care of him." ”

As he was talking, there was the sound of horses' hooves on the road in the direction of the guard, Chen Mu turned his head to look and saw Bai Yuanjie galloping on a healthy horse, followed by four Bai family soldiers also riding horses, and two servants drove a carriage together, and they came together to look quite impressive.

Seeing Zhang Yongshou's small banner, Chen Mu suddenly had some hope for the disappointed Ming Dynasty, it seems that his small banner should be just an example of this kind of attrition, if so, although the guard is slightly slackened, it should not be bad. Otherwise, if all the small banners were like him, and there were only six posts of ten people, wouldn't there be only 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the 5,600 posts of the guardhouse?

However, as soon as Bai Yuanjie came over and opened his mouth, he dispelled Chen Mu's thoughts, "Have you two met?" Yongshou, this is Chen Mu Chen Erlang that my brother told you, and there are many rumors that the little flag who likes to operate firearms in the field is him. ”

After introducing Chen Mu to Zhang Yongshou, Bai Yuanjie turned his head and said to Chen Mu: "This is Zhang Xiaoqi, my ancestor was the commander of our Qingyuan Guard, and the commander of the guard on West Phoenix Street of Qingyuan City God's Temple was repaired by his ancestor." When we come back from Guangzhou, he may be promoted to the general flag, and they will take care of each other on the way. ”

Hearing Bai Yuanjie's words, Zhang Yongshou smiled reservedly and said: "The things of the ancestors have passed decades ago, and no one will remember them, and Brother Jingchen still remembers." Brother Chen doesn't have to worry too much, it will take seven or eight days to go to Guangzhou Mansion, so let's go on the road? ”

Everyone set off, but Zhang Yongshou brought a horse from his flag to Chen Mu to walk, a few people rode slowly, and more than a dozen flag soldiers escorted the car and horses on the road to Guangzhou Mansion.

Although there is no need to worry about it, where can Chen Mu not worry about it? I thought everyone was Bai Yuanjie's guard, and Zhang Yongshou also had an old relationship with the general Mo Chaoyu in the Wuluo clan for a long time, and this time Bai Yuanjie took Zhang Yongshou to mourn, but he was the only one who was a guard...... It's a bit embarrassing.

Not to mention that sometimes people with a lot of thoughts are unhappy in life, like Shao Tingda, Ma Daha has no trouble with Chen Mu at all, not to mention how happy he is to lead the way along the way, knowing that he is still as relaxed as a spring outing for 200 miles, it is really enviable.

But fortunately, Zhang Yongshou has an excellent personality, he is talkative and not unsightly, and the conversation along the way is also pleasant, so that Chen Mu can almost figure out his family background in the conversation with Bai Yuanjie in half a day. Zhang Yongshou's ancestor Zhang Lin was Xu Da's counselor in military affairs, and went to Zhang Guizeguan to worship the commander of Qing Yuanwei, but later Zhang's family fell into the middle of the road, and some of the clansmen went to other places, and some tried to study for the imperial examination to become civil officials, and there was never a three-grade master such as the commander of Qing Yuanwei.

This time, Zhang Yongshou went to Guangzhou Mansion, first, to mourn Mo Chaoyu, the general of Wuluo, and secondly, to go to Guangzhou Mansion to meet his relatives.

In fact, it is to run for office.

As for Bai Yuanjie's desire to take Chen Mu with him, it also has two meanings, one is to let Chen Mu's Xiaoqi be trained, and if there is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the future, there are people available at hand, and the other is to let Chen Mu, who is more close to him, see the world more, and it is not a matter to stay in the guard house all the time.

It was extremely easy to walk along the way, and it was not too hard to travel thirty or forty miles a day, not to mention that Bai Yuanjie's carriage also allowed the accompanying flagmen to place food and water bladders and other things, and the road was not difficult. However, when they arrived in the Heiling area, which was still eighty miles away from Guangzhou Mansion, Bai Yuanjie became nervous and urged them to pass as soon as possible.

"Recently, a road business trip in Heiling has been robbed, and the Guangzhou government has sent troops many times but has not looked for a trace of the thief, Chen Erlang, let the bannermen take their weapons and hurry carefully."
