After dressing as a widow

Chapter 277

Lin Zhen felt that the carriage was slow, so he directly rode on the bay red horse and went to the shop of the horse shopkeeper who provided rice for the water powder workshop, and asked them how much buckwheat and sorghum wheat they had in the shop, and he wanted it urgently.

The shopkeepers of these grain stores have been doing business with him for a few months, and no matter what needs they have in other places, they have to keep close to him. Soon, Lin Zhen brought grain trucks to the gate of the Yamen. Before he came out, he went back to the backyard of the yamen and changed into a thicker robe with thick soft fur sewn inside, and added a heavy cloak on the outside, wearing the same winter must-haves here in Lizhou With boots that reach to the knees, the whole person is rounded several times.

When he came out, the little official in charge of transporting grain and grass was also ready, wrapped in cotton and wearing a bamboo hat that could cover his shoulders.

Following the order of the little official, the horses that were also wrapped tightly pulled the carriage full of grain to the gate of the city.

The snow outside the city is deep and thick, the cement paved road is better, the snow is a little thinner, and the snow on the grass next to it has formed thick ice at the bottom, which makes people imagine what will happen next How difficult the road will be.

Lin Zhen was riding on the horse, listening to the sound of the wheels rolling on the concrete road. After more than 20 miles, the last section of the concrete road was finished.

The little official strolled up to Lin Zhen: "Boss Lin, the road ahead will be difficult. If you can't take it anymore, tell me that you can take a rest."

"fine."

It's not about galloping on horseback, Lin Zhen is still okay, he asked the little official: "According to our current speed, how long will it take to reach Luo Ran?"

"About seven or eight days," said the clerk, who ran around and knew these places very well, "the side of the state capital is not bad, it's not that cold, and the snow on Luo Ran's side can completely bury the house." If you stand outside for a while, your blood will freeze."

In the same way, the northerly it is, the colder the Che Luo Kingdom is, which is why the Che Luo Kingdom is plundered every winter.

When people can't even save their lives, it is very easy to raise the butcher's knife.

Lin Zhen looked at the vast snow field, and exhaled hot air from the lower half of his face covered with several layers of cotton cloth.

On the other side, led by Gu Lin, more than 100 cavalrymen galloped to Luoran on horseback, looking at the Luoran county government where dead bodies were everywhere, their faces sank.

The little soldier who went down to explore the road came back and said to Gu Lin: "Sir, these people have been dead for two or three days, and the traitors from the Che Luo Kingdom who fled here may have left here long ago."

Gu Lin looked at Luo Ran, the county magistrate who was wearing an official robe and fell on his back to the ground, his leaking intestines were frozen solid: "There is no need to stay here, people from Che Luo Kingdom will not come back here again .”

"Two people form a group, search around for two miles, and report back immediately if you find any traces."

"Yes." Several people searched around in groups of two and two according to what Care Rin said.

The rest of the people followed Gu Lin, got off their horses to rest first, and lighted a few fires to get something to eat.

The military situation was urgent, and they didn't have much food on their bodies. Apart from what was consumed on the road, it was enough for about five or six days.

But the big guys are not in a hurry. The current state capital is not short of this amount of food, and the food transport officer must be on the way.

The corpses scattered all over the place were moved aside by the sergeants, and then they found the kitchen of the county government, and used the dry firewood piled inside to light a fire.

A group of old men don't know how to cook, so a large pot of water is boiled, and the miscellaneous grains they brought are put in it to cook, and they are filled out when they think it is almost done.

"My lord." The sergeant below served Gu Lin the dryest bowl first.

Gu Lin took it, as if he didn't see the mushy shell and the smell of mush coming from his nose, he finished a bowl of thick porridge in a few strokes.

These sergeants saw Gu Lin for the first time, and they murmured a little when they first set off, such a young man who knows the state is not very useful, and they will not have to take care of him on the road.

But soon they saw Gu Lin's excellent riding skills, and there were no moths on the road. They even told the deputy Qianhu to let the deputy Qianhu continue on the road with the remaining infantry, and he led the cavalry to the Luo Ran gallops.

Although the sergeants didn't say anything, they took Gu Lin seriously and no longer looked down upon him like they did when they first set off.

After eating, Gu Lin unfolded the map of Lizhou, looked at Luo Ran, and then looked at the surrounding counties.

"My lord, where do you think this gang of Cheluo country thieves who robbed the county government will go?"

"This." Gu Lin's finger landed on one place.

Originally, he was just asking casually, and the little leader who was close to Master Zhizhou looked at the place Gu Lin pointed to.

Gu Lin said: "If you enter, you can attack several villages, and if you retreat, you can avoid entering the country of Che Luo, and it will be difficult to pursue."

Suddenly, several groups of people who went to investigate came back, "My lord, there is no difference in the direction of our investigation."

"My lord, there is nothing wrong with the places we investigated."

"So are we……"

"My lord, this is a broken branch I picked up on the ground. Look at the gap." The two who came back last handed a branch to Gu Lin.

When Gu Lin received it, he saw that the branch was not a dead branch, but a living branch, and it was as thick as a thumb. It was a kind of cold-resistant tree that can be seen everywhere in Lizhou.

The only difference is the notch.

A very neat cut of the gap requires both strength and weapons.

The sergeant said: "The location of this branch happens to be where riding on a horse will block the direction of progress, so this subordinate judges that the gang of thieves must be going there."

The sergeant who spoke to Gu Lin just now said: "It is also possible that the thieves from the Che Luo State came to the county government and chopped it down casually, and it may not be the direction they left."

The sergeant who brought the branch was also dumbed down by this question, indeed, this is also half possible.

Gu Lin asked the sergeant who brought back the branch: "Where does the broken part of the tree face?"

The sergeant's eyes lit up, "Towards the county government office!"

"Rectify immediately and catch up."

"Yes!"

According to the inertia of people using knives, if the incision faces the county government, it can be proved that it was made after leaving the county government. After all, it is impossible for a person to change the direction because of a branch.

The other people who touched the knife every day understood what it meant when they heard it. After the sergeants who went out to search drank the porridge in a few gulps, they immediately mounted their horses and galloped towards the direction where the broken branches were left.

The sergeant who talked to Gu Lin looked at him, and this direction was clearly the direction he had pointed out with his fingers before.

This Zhizhou...

The cavalry led by Gu Lin had only been chasing for three days, when they suddenly saw billowing smoke about a mile away.

Today they were able to capture the traces that had not been completely covered by the heavy snow, and urged the horses to come, and they caught up!

"My lord?" The sergeant behind him looked at Gu Lin.

Holding the reins, Gu Lin lowered his body and gave a "drive" sound, and said, "Divide into two roads, one left and one right, and move forward. If there are too many enemies, don't get confused."

"Yes!" The sergeants rode on their horses and drew their knives.

Gu Lin is equipped with both a knife and a sword, as well as a heavy bow on his back.

He was still wearing the crimson official robe that he hadn't changed in time, and the thick cloak that was occasionally blown up by the wind exposed a corner.

"Drive—" He was at the forefront, as swift as a thread.

The place where the smoke rises is getting closer and closer.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

"Help--"

The wild laughter, the desperate cries of help from the villagers, and the heart-piercing cries of the child, which stopped abruptly, intertwined.

Gu Lin, who was at the front, saw this small village. There were only about 20 households, but they were looted by a group of more than 300 thieves from the Cheluo Kingdom. The pale corpse.

Gu Lin looked at the Cheluo people who were about to throw a child into the burning thatched hut, and pulled out an arrow with an astonishing amount of iron, which was one-third longer than ordinary arrows, and flew out with the bow.

"Hoo--" The arrow, which was longer than ordinary arrows, made a screaming sound, passed through the Cheluo man holding the child with a bang, and was nailed to the ground.

The child caught by him rolled to the edge of the fire due to inertia, and his disheveled hair was ignited by the fire.

The child screamed and rolled on the ground trying to put out the fire on his head.

The people of Che Luo who watched the excitement quickly looked at Gu Lin who was galloping here: "Someone is coming."

Gu Lin could see clearly that these people were all dressed up, wearing armor covering the whole body, and wearing pointed hats unique to the people of Che Luo, and the weapons in their hands were also very different. They were swords that were longer than ordinary swords and heavy. Many weapons.

Gu Lin could almost instantly imagine how destructive such a weapon would be under the charge of manpower and horses. It could pierce through armor and was invincible.

Looking at the village that had been burned to the ground and it was almost impossible to have a living, Gu Lin raised his hand and made a gesture, and the sergeants who were a little behind him slowed down. All are equipped with a tripping rope with a hook at one end.

Gu Lin reined in the horse, pulled out another arrow with his finger and put it on the bow, and the arrow shot straight at the group of Cheluo people.

The people of Che Luoguo didn't expect that Gu Lin, who brought such a small number of people, would not run away immediately, but dared to shoot arrows at them immediately, and slashed at the arrows with a knife.

As soon as this man took that arrow, the other two arrows flew straight towards his face like shooting stars, without waiting for himself and others to move, one of the arrows had entered his eye socket and passed out from the back of his head.

"Kill him!" After coming to the border, the people of Cheluo, who were always in danger, felt that this was tantamount to slapping themselves in the face, and immediately got on their horses to chop this reckless Dayu man into eight pieces.

The others didn't pay attention to Gu Lin and the other 100 people, and they were about to take them all down like pinching birds.

"Woo—" the Che Luo people roared like wild animals, and rushed over on their horses.

Gu Lin immediately patted his horse and galloped, raising his hand and making gestures different from just now. When he shot and killed the two Che Luo people, the soldiers who were ready all made gestures of throwing tripping ropes, regardless of whether this trick was successful or not. Without hesitation, he immediately urged the horse to run forward.

Gu Lin immediately found the right opportunity, the heavy bow in his hand made a teeth-piercing sound one after another, taking advantage of his illness to kill him, and shot to death seven or eight Che Luo who was accidentally caught in the quilt and was a little distracted Chinese.
