Chapter 150 150: Action (8) [Please vote]
Slippery?
Encountering slippery ground at this time?
The captain's heart sank, and his face trembled slightly.
"Captain Yang, what happened?"
Zhai Huan, who was at the rear of the tax collection team, noticed that the team had stopped and it was not the time to rest, so he rode forward to ask.
"The ground ahead is slippery and we can't walk."
When the captain saw that the person coming was Zhai Huan, he felt unhappy but did not show it on his face. It was just that he was habitually cold-faced. , his face is not that good either. Zhai Huan didn't pay attention to this detail. He had "worked" with the captain for a few days, and his likes and dislikes had little to do with him.
“The floor is slippery?”
Zhai Huan’s sensitive nerves were touched.
He turned to ask the scout: "Is there any man-made sign?"
Although slippery ground is a relatively common natural disaster, and it happens during marches and battles, it happened to be this sensitive moment, and it happened that they met at this time. , he couldn't help but think too much.
The scout glanced at his real superior out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that the latter had no objection, he replied: "After careful inspection, there are no signs of man-made trouble."
Zhai Huan frowned.
There are no human signs, so is it a coincidence?
He asked again: "How long will it take to clear it?"
Strong and brave warriors can even shake mountains with one person, so it is not a problem to clear a road in a short time.
The scout's reply disappointed him. Because the mountain was unstable and he could not violently clear the way, he was still optimistic about half a day's time. If there are other unexpected situations along the way, I'm afraid it will be delayed for a whole day.
This scout is also an indigenous person of Sibao County and is very familiar with the terrain and roads in the county. According to his experience, if he chooses to take a detour, he will be delayed by at most an hour compared to the original route. This time can be completely compensated by reducing rest time.
Zhai Huan was noncommittal about this suggestion.
The heavy rains of the past few days may not have only affected the nearby official road. Who knows that the detour will not encounter the same trouble?
However, he is not the decision-maker.
Zhai Huan asked: "What do you think, Captain Yang?"
Captain Yang was hesitant.
Wasted half a day clearing the road?
Although it is safe and secure, the scout also said that a second landslide may occur midway, which may cause more time delays and miss the handover moment. If we take a detour, the risks are unknown...
His hesitation lasted half a quarter of an hour.
Zhai Huan is not easy to urge.
Zhai Le has a small complaint.
He was riding on the horse, leaning towards his cousin, and Zhai Huan made a tacit understanding to prevent outsiders from prying. Zhai Le complained with confidence: "Brother, is that captain so hard at work?"
What's the point of hesitating about this kind of thing?
Of course we have to send people to clear the roads.
As for the detour, it will take a day and a half?
Please, fake team to confuse the eyes of others, not to mention it is delayed for one day, so what if it is delayed for ten days and a half?
Detour?
No need!
Zhai Huan's face was slightly different, and a terrible guess flashed through his heart. His eyes seemed to be inadvertently scanning the boxes of tax money boxes with seals, and his chest bulged several times.
He became unusually stern: "Ale!"
Zhai Le instantly withered into frost and hit the eggplant.
Ever since he had a formal word, he didn't like others calling him that anymore. The title "Ale" was too delicate and not manly enough. My cousin also knows his secret intentions, and rarely calls him like this, but once he does...
Zhai Le was stunned instantly.
He pursed his lips in grievance. He complained in private but it didn’t mean he was offending in front of others... It couldn’t be like that, right?
Zhai Huan solemnly said: "Ale, be careful next time."
Zhai Le was puzzled: "Is there something wrong?"
"There is a problem with the tax bank. Zhai Le was frightened: "Is there a problem? What can I do with the tax money that was originally fake...ah, what do you mean...is it true?"
Zhai Huan responded very softly: "Yes."
Nine times out of ten it is true...
If not, why would Captain Yang worry about wasting time? ?
Zhai Huan patted his cousin on the shoulder and warned: "Always be vigilant to prevent secret assassinations. Your own safety is the most important thing."
As for tax money?
It’s best if you can keep it, but it’s God’s will if you can’t.
After all, he doesn’t know that this is real tax money, does he?
If you really meet a powerful enemy, why would you risk your life and put yourself and A Le in danger for a batch of fake tax money?
The only thing I didn't expect was that the county guard was a ruthless person.
He actually had the guts to take this risk.
Zhai Huan, who is as cold and cold as he is, also feels a little angry.
After a while, Captain Yang finally came to the conclusion, gritted his teeth, and decided to take a risky detour and take another more remote path. There are almost no travelers on this path, and it is almost always a narrow mountain road that can only accommodate a carriage.
There are dense forests on both sides of the mountain road.
The uneven and muddy mountain road that has not yet dried out adds a lot of difficulty to the team. Ordinary people would have a hard time walking around lightly, let alone pushing vehicles loaded with heavy boxes. Within half an hour, some soldiers were out of breath.
It was obviously autumn but it was so hot that I was sweating profusely.
"Hurry up! Why are you stopping?" Captain Yang was riding a horse with a sullen face. Seeing the soldiers walking slower and slower, he felt angry and shouted harshly, "It has only been a long journey and you are so tired." Virtue? You have to get up even if you are crawling! How many of you can afford to lose time?"
The soldiers dare not speak.
Even Captain Yang’s deputy officers only dared to watch.
So, the soldier gritted his teeth and walked for most of the hour.
In the end, he couldn't stand it any longer. The soldier who was whipped by Captain Yang begged for mercy: "I wouldn't move unless I waited. The road is really too difficult to walk, let alone people. Even the mules have to lie down when they come. General." Okay, let me stop and have a rest.”
How long has it been?
His clothes were completely wet with sweat, and his whole body was drenched in sweat as if he had been fished out of water. His limbs were exhausted, swollen, sore, and limp. Not to mention pushing the tax collection vehicle away, even if he was asked to walk a few more steps, his chest was burning and he couldn't breathe.
They have practiced martial arts, but their physical strength is only slightly better than that of ordinary people. They are not even low-ranking soldiers. Even the carts and carts carry five or six hundred kilograms. Even if they work together, one person can Even if you push and pull, you won't be able to withstand such a muddy and uneven road.
Duwei Yang’s face turned dark when he heard this.
Zhai Le, who was at the rear, was not used to his behavior of scolding and whipping his subordinates frequently, but when he saw this scene, he burst out laughing for some reason. Although he reacted quickly, he still leaked the news, earning an unfriendly glare from Captain Yang.
Zhai Huan was helpless: "Why are you laughing?"
Zhai Le: "I laughed because I suddenly thought of something funny."
Zhai Huan asked him again: " What’s so funny?”
“Brother, does this look like that group of Liangshan heroes trying to outwit the birthday card? It’s a coincidence that this captain’s surname is Yang...”
Zhai Huan: "..."
The Thief Star Fragments record countless contents, including powerful and unpredictable civil and military spirits, as well as popular novels, such as "Water Margin" that Zhai Le likes very much, but Zhai Huan didn't like it, so he couldn't make his cousin laugh.
Zhai Le couldn't help it, and whispered: "It would be really interesting if a group of date sellers and wine sellers appear later..."

In order to keep his manicure on for a few more days, Shiigugu plans to give up his laptop’s soft keyboard and switch to an external mechanical keyboard.
I dug out the keyboard from the February monthly ticket lottery (it is said that the red axis is very suitable for typing) and connected it to the expansion dock.
I am used to the keyboard of a laptop. I was not used to using a mechanical keyboard at first. I would always press the wrong keys and make typos. The feel was a bit weird, but the crackling sound of typing was really nice. Once you get familiar with it for a few days, it should be fine, hehe.
