Chapter 692 Eighty-Five Changes

Rock Fort is much closer to Datong Town than Desheng Fort is from Datong Town, and if you hurry up, you can basically get there in half a day. Governor Jiao gave a strict order, and the herald did not dare to slack off, and rushed to the Rock Fort under the stars.

However, the Ming Dynasty was no better than later generations, and the roads were also worse, and there could be no street lights on both sides, so they could only rush by starlight and moonlight. But in this era, no matter where it is, it is much darker at night than in later generations.

Fortunately, the stars are shining tonight, but even so, you can't really see anything in the wild, and everywhere you look is vague and black.

Generally speaking, there is absolutely no way to travel at night, but Governor Jiao is too anxious, and under the urging, this messenger must not travel overnight.

However, it was impossible to be too fast in the evening, and the messenger had to walk all night long when it could have been completed in two hours.

The next morning, at dawn, the messenger finally saw the outline of the Rock Fort.

Sitting on horseback, the messenger could not help but open his mouth wide and his face was full of disbelief at the sight of the majestic city with mountains and rivers in its back, and at the sight of the houses and houses that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.

The Messenger was of great stature, not only tall, but strong, even more majestic than his height. His shoulders and back were extremely wide, but he was afraid that he would be more than two feet, wide and thick, and it was indescribable with the door panels, such a figure was more like a thick wall.

His muscles are extremely developed, his muscles are knotted, his entire upper body is like a cube, and he is wearing a green cloth iron armor, which looks majestic.

His name is Hu Yanguang!

There is a nickname: Huyan Dadao.

This was his first time in Rock Fort, but it was not his first time in Dashigu.

In fact, his hometown is in a nearby village not far away, and speaking of which, he and Dong Ce can be regarded as coming from the same territory. He was also a soldier of Shilibao before, and his background was also very poor, but he was born with divine power, and the laborious weapons used by others were as light as a reed in his hand. He didn't have a weapon to fit his hand, so he took a large guillotine—the same kind of guillotine used in the farms and pastures.

Counting the handle of the knife, the length has reached five feet, the narrowest place is also as wide as the palm horizontally, the widest place is close to a foot, the back of the knife is nearly an inch thick, the handle is as thick as a child's arm, and it weighs more than 40 catties!

Later, Hu Yanguang was very powerful in a battle, and hacked to death more than a dozen Tartars with a big guillotine, and suddenly became famous, and many people in Northern Hebei Province knew his fame.

It's similar to Dong Ce last year.

However, last year's Dong Ce became an official, and he was still messing around here and did not leave. And he was favored by the Northern Hebei Bingdao at that time, he liked his excellent martial arts, and he was taciturn, and he looked very reliable, so he was selected to be a guard.

As the escort of the Lord of the Soldiers, and it is also the nature of the personal soldier, it is naturally very beneficial to reap some benefits. After working for more than half a year, he saved up money and hired a blacksmith to build a large knife.

This big knife is the same as his big guillotine knife originally, even the size and thickness are average, after all, it is easy to use, and he is not willing to change it easily. But the original big guillotine was cast from pig iron, and now in this one, an old blacksmith who has been experienced in playing iron for decades, known as the first in Zhenhe Fort, hammered it out with fine iron.

Speaking of strength and sharpness. I don't know how much stronger than the original one, and even the weight has increased by 30%!

He held this extremely eye-catching big guillotine and followed the Lord Bingbeidao, which could be said to have earned enough attention. At first, it was the soldiers in Zhenhe Fort who called him Huyan Dadao, but then it slowly spread, and others began to call him also. Later, even many people didn't know his name, so they just called him Huyan Dadao.

Then there was another chance, and finally Huyan Dadao became a guard under the governor of Datong, this time as a messenger.

It's also thanks to him that he grew up here, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to discredit coming to Rock Castle.

When he was a soldier in Shilibao, he went home once or twice a month, and he passed by this place countless times. I have the impression that there are only large boulders, a stream that cuts deep into the ground, and the huge blue-gray ruins, which looks like a desolate and dilapidated scene.

But now, how did it become like this!?

God!

Hu Yanguang even thought that he had a delusion.

In front of him was a large and wide river, which was more than ten zhang wide, although it had narrowed due to the lack of water, and even a part of the riverbed that was relatively close to the bank was exposed. The water is also very deep, and there are more than a dozen fishing boats parked on the bare riverbed - indicating that the river is at least capable of boating.

Not far to his left was a bridge, seven or eight huge piers of stone piled up in the middle of the river, covered with huge planks made of large logs. The bridge deck is wide enough for two carriages to run side by side.

At the end of the bridge on the other side of the river, a two-story watchtower was built, two feet high, made of large wood, which could only accommodate two people. The watchtower is built on the bank of a wide river, and the view is extremely high, and at that height it is enough to see far away.

At the end of the bridge, below the watchtower, there is a loess road, which leads straight to the tall city in the distance. On both sides of this road that is two or three miles long, there are endless golden wheat fields, and when a gust of wind comes, the wheat waves are rolling, and the smell of the wind seems to be intoxicating.

Most of the stones that used to be everywhere have disappeared, and in the endless wheat fields, only a huge boulder can occasionally be seen, which is the size of a small house, and it seems that it cannot be moved, while the other stones are naturally removed. However, there are so many stones left in the wheat field, and it still has a special charm to look at.

In the wheat field, every short distance, you can see a house, which looks like a dozen families gathered together. Hu Yanguang's eyes are excellent, and he can see it really, most of the locations where these people are located are slightly higher, and many of them are next to small streams.

The wheat fields are endless, and I don't know how many such small settlements there are, and I can't count them.

But Hu Yanguang seems that there are always at least sixty or seventy, and after a little calculation, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: a dozen households in a settlement is thirty or forty people, and even if there are only sixty or seventy settlements, it is a population of thousands!

In the midst of the wheat fields, ditches were drawn from the river for irrigation.

Such a scene can only be described as vast and rich! Hu Yanguang, who has never been very convinced by others, couldn't help but have a strong admiration for Dong Ce, who had never met before. Being able to turn Da Shigu into what he looks like in front of him, this Lord Dong is really amazing!
