Ten days passed by in a flash.

This place is the easternmost county in Chang'an. It has a nice name called Lantian. Lantian County is backed by the Qinling Mountains and about fifty miles away from Chang'an City. It is known as the gateway to the Guanlong Land and has a small town specially built to guard it.

It was early in the morning, and the sky was just getting brighter. Suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves, followed closely by a cavalry of about a hundred people.

It's the Gu family cavalry.

But he was not wearing armor.

This hundred-man-level cavalry not only did not wear armor, they did not even hold the weapons that the cavalry never left their hands. Instead, more than a hundred people were all carrying huge packages, and there was an even bigger package on the back of the horse.

.

At first glance, it looks like it’s carrying goods.

But in this era, as long as the cavalry is eye-catching.

Even the cavalry transporting goods still makes people watch frequently.

The common people who got up early to go to the market watched from a distance and pointed at this strange group of cavalry from time to time. Unfortunately, the cavalry was so fast that they roared away in the blink of an eye. So the common people just started talking. When they went to look, they found the cavalry.

Already gone very far.

At most, the people were just curious, but some people had different thoughts.

For example, the defenders of Lantian County...

Another example is some ‘common people’ who look like common people.

…

"It's very strange. How could such a group of soldiers appear in Chang'an? They are very elite and murderous."

"Lao Qixen is right. These are indeed elite soldiers. Brother, I have been a soldier for several years, so I can confirm with just one glance that this cavalry is extraordinary. It is full of energy and has murderous intent in its eyes. This

They are cavalrymen who have been on the battlefield, not private soldiers raised by ordinary families."

"Then it's even more strange. How can such cavalry be used to transport goods? Even if the man in charge doesn't feel distressed, aren't we afraid that the cavalry will have resentment in their hearts? Using cavalry to transport goods can no longer be described as a waste.

It's just nonsense, it's just harsh treatment..."

"Okay, okay, Lao Qi, why don't you say a few words. Let me ask you, did you see any resentment on the faces of those cavalry just now? No, they looked extremely calm."

"Hey, that seems to be the case. That makes it even more strange. Don't these cavalry care about glory? They are cavalry, known as the most precious kind of soldiers on the battlefield. I used to be a soldier in the army, and I was also a soldier in the army.

I have seen some cavalry, and those guys were all extremely proud. They looked at each other with their nostrils raised to the sky. Even if they met the commander? They still looked angry. But this cavalry just now..."

"This group of cavalry just now is more elite than the cavalry you have seen before, and the spirit of the cavalry is stronger than the ones you have seen before, but? They were sent out to transport goods. And? They actually showed no resentment...

...Lao Qi, is this what you want to say?"

"Yes, yes? Brother, you have also been a soldier, so you must know what I am referring to."

"Okay, let's stop talking here, shall we? Stop? Don't talk anymore. Lao Qi, haven't you noticed that this group of cavalry came from the north? From the north? Under that man's command."

"Hiss? Brother, you are talking about Gu..."

"Okay? Shut up. Don't say more? Don't talk about it. Are you going back to the mountain right away? Tell the brothers who are staying in the Qinling Mountains? Everyone has been quiet in the past few days, and no one is allowed to run out and cause trouble.

"

"Okay, I'll go back and warn them now... By the way, brother, do you want to send someone to report this matter to the main branch?"

"Report to the main branch? I don't think it's necessary. Our main branch is in Chang'an City, and the direction of the cavalry just now is Chang'an City. Such a group of cavalry entered Chang'an? Our main branch will definitely know about it soon. But

Is that what the main line should worry about? It's not our turn for the dark line to get involved? We just need to restrain our subordinates and keep them from going out for a while."

"What brother said makes sense."

"Remember, you must severely warn those bastards in the mountains to be honest? Don't cause trouble. What I'm most worried about now is that when this cavalry returns to the North, there are some blind people in the mountains who want to treat them as ordinary people.

If the caravan goes to rob it, it will be a joke, this cavalry of a hundred people can kill all of us."

"Hiss, what big brother said is that I will give them a severe warning and promise not to let anyone do anything stupid."

"Well, go quickly."

…

The cavalry galloped like the wind, covering more than ten miles in the blink of an eye.

At this time, we were very close to Chang'an City, and the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased. Suddenly, the young man in the lead tightened the reins, and the rushing horse almost stopped for a few breaths. More than a hundred cavalry behind him were puzzled.

However, the confusion in their hearts did not prevent them from reining in the reins in time, so in the blink of an eye, this group of cavalry stopped moving.

It was only then that another young man asked, slightly shocked: "Cheng Chumo, what are you doing?"

"Call me Senior Brother!" The leading boy glared at him.

"Okay, senior brother, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly pull the reins?"

"It's nothing. I just want everyone to take a breath and rest their energy before we continue on our way."

"Take a breath? Rest your energy? I said, Senior Brother, are you okay? When did our Gu family's cavalry become so weak? We have only been riding for more than ten miles. Do you think we all need to rest?"

"I think it's necessary..."

The leading boy looked serious.

As for the young man who asked the question, he was obviously confused at this time. After a long time, he frowned and said, "Do you have any explanation?"

This young man was none other than Li Chongyi, Gu Tianya's second disciple. It was precisely because he was the second disciple that he dared to question Cheng Chumo in a relatively equal tone.

But he saw Cheng Chumo looking forward from a distance, suddenly opened his mouth and slowly exhaled, saying: "Actually, I don't have much to say, I just want everyone to have a rest. We are about to enter Chang'an City, and there are several of our homes in Chang'an City.

Master once said that wealth and wealth are like walking at night without returning home. Now we are famous disciples of the Gu family. Returning this time is an honorable act to pay respects to relatives. Therefore, I feel that everyone should always keep their spirits high and prepare for the trip to Chang'an.

The moment he entered the city, everyone turned their attention..."

Li Chongyi's face was in a daze when he heard it, and he subconsciously said: "So it's because of this? What's the point of fighting for this face?"

He was complaining about Cheng Chu's stupidity.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Chumo looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "I think it makes sense!"

Li Chongyi was stunned again. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly nodded and said solemnly: "Elder brother, you are right, this face must be earned."

Cheng Chumo glanced at him and said with an honest smile: "Although we are coming back this time to visit relatives, we are disciples of the Gu family after all, and every move we make will be watched. If we lose someone, it will actually be Master's face that we lose.

"

Li Chongyi nodded again and said more solemnly: "Elder brother, you are serious."

At this time, a little guy came up next to him, grinning and winking at Cheng Chumo, and said: "Master always says that the senior brother is stupid, but I think the senior brother is not stupid at all. Just based on the idea just now, the senior brother is better than all of us."

powerful."

Cheng Chumo laughed, stretched out his hand to rub the little guy's head, and asked in a warm voice: "Are you tired? Are you riding a bumpy horse? If you feel that you can't bear it anymore, just speak up, and senior brother will carry you on my horse."

The little guy clearly had this idea in mind. Hearing this, he nodded quickly and said, "I'm tired. I'm tired. It hurts my butt so much that my whole body is about to fall apart."

Cheng Chumo laughed again, turned to one side and hugged the little guy over, then turned his head and looked back, calling softly to a cavalryman: "You are responsible for carrying my fourth junior brother's mount. I will let you go later when we are about to enter Chang'an."

He got back on his horse."

The cavalryman respectfully agreed, rode forward on his horse and took away the little guy's mount. Before leaving, he suddenly got off his horse again, looked at the little guy with doting eyes and said, "Actually, the Fourth Young Master doesn't have to ride the horse himself. He is so young."

No one will talk about age..."

Unexpectedly, Cheng Chumo nodded slowly and said solemnly: "I still say what I said, we are disciples of the Gu family, and every move we make represents the master. Although the fourth junior brother is young, he also represents the master, so

, you still have to suffer a little bit."

The cavalryman sighed and said: "My main concern is for the Fourth Young Master."

Cheng Chumo said: "I am Wang Bo's eldest brother. I care about him more than you do. Otherwise, I would not hold him in my arms. But I can only hold him for a short while until I enter Chang'an City.

Then he must ride the horse himself."

The cavalryman stopped trying to dissuade him and said respectfully, "Yes!"

At this time, another little guy came over on horseback. He looked at Cheng Chumo eagerly and said, "Elder brother, my butt is also hurt by the bump."

Cheng Chumo's face suddenly tightened and he said in a deep voice: "Lu Zhaolin, you are three years older than Fourth Junior Brother and two months more."

It turns out that this little guy who wants to be lazy is Lu Zhaolin.

When he was scolded by Cheng Chumo, he did not hesitate to smile playfully and continued to pretend to be pitiful: "Although I am three years older than the fourth child, I am only an eleven-year-old child. Senior brother, I am still a child."

Cheng Chumo's face was bulging with anger.

Suddenly Li Chongyi stretched out his hand from the side and directly hugged Lu Zhaolin onto his horse. Then he smiled at Cheng Chumo and said, "Elder brother, please spare him for once. The third child is indeed a child. I am responsible for holding him."

Let’s go a long way.”

Cheng Chumo looked angry and scolded: "Just pamper me, don't you see that this kid is deliberately lazy? He is already eleven years old and should have suffered a little. You..."

It's a pity that although he said something fierce, he never put it into practice. He only spoke harshly and did not actually order Li Chongyi to put Lu Zhaolin back.

The cavalrymen behind laughed secretly, and someone stepped forward and took Lu Zhaolin's horse away.

After this short period of tugging, everyone had almost rested. Cheng Chumo shook the reins a little, looked at the other two teenagers, and asked with a cold face: "Where are you two? Do you want to be lazy too?
