Chapter 1846: Overnight in the Desert

More words of advice have already been said at home, and at the moment the mother and daughter are just enjoying the time they spend together before parting.

After Song Chongjin's farewell ceremony was completed, the team finally started.

The people of Chicheng County automatically and spontaneously bid farewell at the gate of the city, among which there are naturally relatives in the team.

Especially those traders, they can travel thousands of miles a day, and they can fly to the grassland in one day, and immediately start their business, and make good money.

The team was mighty, and while no one was paying attention, Wang Yongzhu said goodbye to Mrs. Zhang, and mixed into the convoy of Jinju and Zhang Yinbao in a flash.

Mrs. Zhang looked at her daughter's back, wiped a handful of tears, turned her head and ordered the coachman to drive the carriage, while the rest of the people were still watching the team, and took a shortcut to go home without mentioning it.

Let's just say that Wang Yongzhu and his entourage, because the team is too large, it took four days of hard work to reach the border barracks.

The military camp has already received the order of the imperial court, and has selected an elite team of 100 people to protect the safety of the mission.

Of course, if it is true that after they enter the grassland, the grassland and Da Chu turn their faces, even if the team of thousands of people is afraid that they will also fold on the grassland.

But in this situation, it is enough for a team of 100 people to fight outposts, to protect the mission from small bandits, and to raid by beasts at night.

This hundred-person team was personally selected by the border master, he was Song Hong's subordinate back then, and although many years have passed, he still respects Song Hong.

Song Chongjin is the son of Song Hong, and he is also the son of the Weiguo Mansion, the future heir, so he naturally has to be extra cautious and careful, if there is a real accident, I am afraid that his life will not be enough.

If he could, the lord would like to allocate 5,000 sergeants to protect Song Chongjin closely, go in safely, and come back with a lot of hair.

But he doesn't allow it under realistic conditions! He could only select one hundred and eighty good players in the army, told him again and again, and promised that if this trip went well and protected Song Chongjin to come back safely, he would definitely give credit to the hundred-person team at that time.

even made it clear in private that if there is really danger, Song Chongjin must be kept alive and returned to Dachu! Because if Song Chongjin died on the grassland, they would also die when they came back.

If Song Chongjin can return to Dachu alive, even if they die, their families and descendants must be taken care of.

The words are so clear and clear, who still doesn't understand the hundreds of people who have been selected? They're dead! If you want to die worthwhile, then let Song Chongjin come back safely, at least their relatives will be taken care of.

What's more, they have seen Song Chongjin and dealt with him.

At that time, when negotiating, Song Chongjin lived in the camp for a long time, Wang Yongzhu felt a little sorry for Song Chongjin, and secondly, he also admired them as soldiers, guarding the frontier with flesh and blood, and guarding the people of Dachu, so he often sent supplies over, and the soldiers in the camp also stained a lot of light.

Therefore, he was also convinced of the words of the main general, and he made up his mind to protect Song Chongjin with his life.

Because the attitude of the imperial court and the grassland was a little urging, Song Chongjin didn't dare to delay more, thanked the main general, and personally inspected the team of 100 people, only slightly trimmed, and set off again.

The main general took the army to the rear and sent the people to the border line to show his attention, which is also the meaning of deterring the grassland.

Officials have also been sent from the grassland to greet them.

The first one is the one I saw during the negotiation, Qi Le's confidant, the unobtrusive document, Batu.

But this time I saw him, it was a luxurious dress, but it was very different from the last time we met.

Seeing Song Chongjin and his entourage, he was particularly enthusiastic, first shouting for warmth, and then diligently leading the way in front, riding a horse, holding a horsewhip while walking and pointing to the nearby scenery, at first glance, it was very harmonious.

This side of the grassland is not like Dachu has a garrison, this is a desert, and few people come here, except for the entourage brought by Batu, there are really no other grassland herdsmen.

Batu also looked apologetic, saying that he wanted everyone to hurry, and when they crossed the desert, there would be a cloud of people.

On the other hand, he said that the grassland is poor, not as rich as Da Chu, and the hospitality is not good, so please bear with me.

With this in front of you, it is naturally difficult for everyone to say anything.

However, these things, Da Chu's side is naturally mentally prepared, they carry their own dry food, and they don't have to worry about the grassland at all.

Besides, even if there are big fish and meat on the grassland, everyone doesn't dare to eat it, for fear of poisoning it, right?

This desert doesn't look big, but it usually takes a day or two to cross it, let alone such a long line.

Before we had gone far, it was already dark, and in this desert, it was better to have the sun in the daytime, and as soon as it was dark, the wind blew to the bone.

Batu suggested that everyone rest for the night first, and get up early tomorrow to hurry.

In the team of 100 people, there are naturally those who are familiar with the terrain on this side of the grassland, and they also know that there are so many people at night that it is difficult to rush again.

What's more, the place chosen by Batu is an excellent location, it is a dry river, which can block the night wind at night, and because there are dry trees on both sides of the river before, you can also warm up some branches.

Therefore, when Song Chongjin looked over, he nodded, and Song Chongjin ordered to stop here and set off after a day of repair.

As soon as the order was given, the team moved in an orderly manner.

Someone went to the back to give the order, and the soldiers had already begun to set up camp, and soon set up a few tents, which were for the officers of the mission.

The dry trees not far away were dragged directly over, then cut into small pieces, and soon bonfires were set up one after another.

Under the guidance of these soldiers, the convoys formed a circle, with goods and vehicles on the periphery, then livestock such as horses and camels, and then campfires and tents set up by people inside.

Each convoy has a certain distance between them, guarding and guarding each other.

Not to mention, the dart masters and guards hired by the caravan are even more vigilant patrolling from time to time.

When Batu saw this scene, his eyes darkened, but the sky was so dark that no one could see his expression clearly.

Soon he put on a smiling face again, knowing that Da Chu was guarding against them, so he was very knowledgeable, and settled down not far away and lit a bonfire.

They were familiar with this piece, and a few people rode out for a while, and it didn't take long for them to come back with a few bloody prey, and not long after, there was a smell of barbecue wafting along the wind.

After the meat was cooked, he specially sent half of the roasted sheep to Song Chongjin's tent.

It's a pity that Song Chongjin's tent was surrounded by those soldiers three layers inside and three layers outside, and the person who delivered the barbecue could only stand far away, waiting for the soldiers to go in and report.

It took half a day for someone to come out, take the barbecue, throw him a piece of silver, and it was over.

The man pinched the silver, looked at the tent unwillingly, and only vaguely heard that the moment the tent was opened, there seemed to be a woman's voice coming out?

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he turned around and went back.
