In Shule City, snowflakes were falling in the sky again.
Li Dalang and more than a dozen soldiers from his team braved the cold wind and entered the city. None of them wore standard clothes, only ordinary clothes, and they also came in as civilians when they entered the city.
As soon as Wang boldly entered the house, he stamped his feet, "The sky here is really unpredictable.
It's already March, and there are still snowflakes falling in the sky.< br>
If we were in Jiangnan, the grass on the roadside would be green now. ”
After Li Dalang said a few words to the lame Uncle Zhao who was guarding the gate of this stronghold, he took the hot water bottle from Uncle Zhao's hand and carried the hot water bottle into the house.
Gao Haiping followed Li Dalang and took a stack of pottery bowls into the house. After closing the door, Li Dalang poured a bowl of hot water for one person.
"Let's all drink a bowl of hot food to warm ourselves up first. It will be colder at night, so we have to endure it."
Turning his head, Li Dalang took out a purse from his arms and threw it to He asked Gao Haiping, "You can go out and buy some dry food for us to eat on the way."
"Captain, how can we use your money here? Didn't the superiors give us money?"
Wang DaDa sat on the table and blew a drink from a pottery bowl. When he heard Gao Haiping's words, he was very discerning. He blew the hot water while looking at it as if he was answering Gao Haiping's words, but in fact he was explaining to the room. The other soldiers inside listened.
“Hey, the few dollars above are just to ensure that we don’t starve to death.
We can eat less and drink less on the way, and the horses that Uncle Zhao pulls to feed in the backyard are more valuable than us. There is so much money, you are not allowed to eat or drink?
Most of the money has been spent on horses, what else can people eat?
The team is giving you more money, why not? Some dry food so that we can eat well on the way.”
The first batch of special forces had already lost a lot of their lives during the previous raid on the Western Turkic King's tent. Among those who were lucky enough to survive, there were only a dozen or so, including Li Dalang, Wang Dadan, and Gao Haiping.
But I have to say that the new special forces unit has really proven itself.
The Tang Dynasty was able to win the war against the Western Turks so quickly. In addition to the black powder, the special forces were able to seriously injure the Turkic Khan in the royal tent, which really played a decisive role.
Therefore, this branch of arms was preserved, and excellent soldiers were selected from the army to be added to the special forces.
This time, Li Dalang is leading a team to Shule City to perform a mission. More than half of these more than ten people are meeting each other for the first time, and it is the first time for everyone to cooperate. Among them, There are also two or three people who have collaborated once or twice.
Only Wang Dalang and Gao Haiping have been with Li Dalang since the early days of the special forces.
So, at this moment, Gao Haiping and Wang Dalang are singing together, which can be regarded as supporting Li Dalang.
How could Li Dalang not know what Wang Dadan and Gao Haiping meant by this incident?
I just want him to get more value for his money, so that the people who are cooperating on a mission for the first time can be more interested.
Li Dalang smiled and waved his hand to Gao Haiping, letting him go.
After Gao Haiping walked out of the door, Li Dalang sat down and said to the dozen or so people sitting in groups in the room: "Be bold and say good things for me. Don't feel pressured."
< br>Wang DaDabao stared and was about to speak, but Li Dalang quickly stopped him with his eyes, and Wang DaLang sat down again with his mouth flat.
“The money given to us by the superiors is actually enough, plus the consumption of horses on the road, it is also enough.
Not to mention, this is official business, and we are on the road back. It doesn’t cost anything to live in the inn.
As for why I pay?
First, it is really to allow us to eat well on the way. The caravan we are following this time from Shule should be going to Chang'an and then heading south from Chang'an.
The journey is long and no one knows what will happen. If we eat well, we will have the strength to escape if we encounter danger.
Secondly, since I am your captain, I should be responsible for my brothers. I paid this money voluntarily, so please don’t feel any pressure.
If our tasks are done well in the future, I will be able to explain it to my superiors. ”
When Li Dalang said this, he showed more sincerity. Others, being sincere, bowed their hands to Li Dalang, and Li Dalang naturally returned the gesture.
After nightfall, Gao Haiping came back with large and small bags.
"Gui Zheng, I went out for a walk and saw that the steward next to the merchant also came out to buy. It seemed that he wanted to leave the city at dawn."
" Let the brothers have a good meal and get some sleep quickly.”
As expected, when the sky was still dark and lanterns were still needed to light up, there were many people who were in a hurry to leave the city. There was a long line of people.
Li Dalang and the others were pretending to be small traders selling furs, and they were almost a hundred steps away from the group of traders they were following.
People in the border towns started to move, as did the bad guys from far away in Jiangnan East Road and the people under Du Qinghui's command.
In one of the hundreds of docks on a pier, among the lights tonight, there was a boat closer to the shore, with five people sitting around a large flame on the table.
“The boss wants us to catch as many living ones as possible. The living ones are useful, and the dead ones can’t talk.” You can catch a few.”
A man with a scar on his face took out a paper bag and threw it on the table. He pointed at it and said.
The man codenamed Thirty-Four in the Bad Guys picked up the thing, opened it, took a look, smelled it, his expression changed, and he winked with his companion beside him.
“Hey, it’s not poison, what’s the look?
The one Scar took is sweat medicine, it can’t kill people.”
Thirty of the bad guys Four and Thirty-five looked at each other again. Thirty-four rolled his eyes speechlessly, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Who is this person?
Are these soldiers under General Du's command?
Why do you look like a water bandit? ”
Actually, what Thirty-Four thought was really right. Aren’t Scar and the other three people from water bandits?
It’s just that they were captured earlier. After Du Qinghui led the troops to disperse them and gathered them into his hands, he became a soldier.
As a soldier, he had only been a soldier for less than two years, and he still didn't smell like a water bandit. Can be completely dissipated
After half an hour, most of the lights in the dock on the pier were extinguished, with only a few scattered lights still on.
Scar and Broken Finger San, who had three broken fingers on his left hand, took advantage of the darkness and carefully dropped the sampan (shān) not far from the large ship anchored in Deep Water Bay. , jumped directly into the water.
Thirty-four and thirty-five don’t know how to swim, so they have to wait here.
Half an hour later, Thirty-Four saw someone waving a small flag on the bow of the big ship in the distance. Then he and Thirty-Fifth hurriedly paddled towards the big ship.
After a lot of effort, Thirty-four and Thirty-five arrived on the deck.
If you eat raw or cold food, your spleen and stomach will be weak, and you will have diarrhea.
I am so convinced by my own body that I hate the iron!
I really want to have a body as strong as an ox! ! !
