Zao Ying followed Cheng Xu all the way south.
The militia group did not move fast. After all, everyone was wearing heavy armor and could not march faster. When they walked out of Huanglong Mountain, it was already dark.
When we arrived on the loess plains outside the mountain, walking became much easier and our steps became brisk.
The private salt dealers who ran out first were waiting here with 500 horses.
Cheng Xu shouted: "Get on the horse! It's getting dark, I don't know when I'll have to go home again, so get on the horse."
The fifth grade of high school: "But we don't know how to ride."
"If you don't know how to ride, just lie down on the horse's back and hug the horse's neck."
Gao Chuwu has experience in this matter. When Zhong Guangdao and Zheng Yanfu attacked Gaojiacun at night, Gao Chuwu went to Bai Yuan for help and ran back holding the horse's neck.
Now he was doing it again, and he was already familiar with it. He climbed on the horse's back and hugged the horse's neck. Others followed his example. Five hundred horses were not enough, so some private salt dealers rode two people on one horse. This was finally enough. .
Five hundred cavalry plus Zaoying's one hundred and twenty cavalry galloped towards Gaojiacun together. With the war horses, the distance seemed to be shortened all of a sudden. It originally took half a day to walk from Duzhong Village to Gaojiacun, but now it only takes More than half an hour.
In the distance, the lights of Gaojia Business District can be seen ahead, a scene of feasting and feasting.
Zao Ying couldn't help but say "Hey", it was already dark, but there was still a light ahead? How can this land of barren mountains and villages be so prosperous even if it is not a big city?
Cheng Xu smiled and said: "That's our nest.
Zao Ying still thinks that Cheng Xu is the "Guyuan rebels", and thinks to herself: These rebels have actually built towns in the mountains, and are they also having a feast? No wonder they dare to openly invite me as a guest. They are indeed confident and are not afraid of the location of their hometown being leaked, because there are so many people living here. If the news was to be leaked, it would have been leaked by these people long ago.
The people did not spread the news about them, which shows that these rebels have won the hearts of the people. The common people were unwilling to sell themselves out for a small reward from the government.
Zao Ying quite appreciates this.
She has always regarded herself as a righteous thief who does not touch the common people and only robs high-ranking officials. Since these Guyuan rebels have won the hearts of the people, it means that they are not the enemies of the common people, so she can feel free to make friends with them boldly.
Cheng Xu smiled and said: "We can't go to the business district now. It's inappropriate to go there covered in armor. Let's go to our military camp first.
Zao Ying nodded: "It should be so."
As Cheng Xu arrived at the barracks, she expected to see a dirty, messy, shabby, and rickety barracks. However, she did not expect that what she saw was a super huge stone fortress-shaped building, luxurious. The atmosphere occupies the size of an entire valley.
Although it was night, there were lights everywhere around the barracks, illuminating the entire valley.
turn out to be…..
After the number of the militiamen expanded to 500, it was no longer suitable to live in Gaojiabao. There were only more than 200 rooms in the fort, which could not accommodate the militiamen at all, so Li Daoxuan had already opened a new building for them on the periphery. military base. "
This base is not far from the firearms bureau. It is also made of a "huge stone cylinder" that is turned upside down. The wall of the stone cylinder is several centimeters thick. Once it is placed in the box, the thickness is very terrifying. Even a nuclear bomb may not be able to penetrate it. .
It is really suitable for use as a barracks!
After the stone jar was turned upside down, Li Daoxuan ignored the details inside and asked the craftsmen to create small rooms inside for the soldiers to live in. He also separated warehouses for stacking weapons and even some food inside. , just in case there is a very small chance that the militia needs to huddle in this barracks and hold on, they must have food to eat.
Of course, this possibility is too small, and it is basically impossible to use those grains.
As soon as Cheng Xu returned to the entrance of the barracks, he shouted inside: "Where are the logistics soldiers who are left on duty? Let the cooking team get up and work immediately... Oops, we have traveled dozens of miles on this trip, and we are all hungry. "
Hearing the news of eating, Zao Ying woke up from the shock of the "huge barracks" and thought: This is a year of great disaster. I don't know if your food is enough... to entertain us 120 horse thieves. But it’s a big expense. "
Just as she was thinking of this, she saw the cook squad leader running out of the barracks with excitement on his face: "Teacher He, you are back."
He teaches? Zao Ying was confused when she heard this: Isn’t it Gui Qianhu?
Cheng Xu saw the happy face of the cooking squad leader and couldn't help but wonder: "What are you having fun with?"
The cooking squad leader chuckled and said: "Not long before you came back, Tianzun had already given you food. He also said that the militia had made great achievements today, so he wanted to give you special food."
Cheng Xu was overjoyed: "Oh? What is it delicious?"
Zaoying: "Tianzun?
The cooking squad leader turned around and shouted into the barracks: "Bring out the delicacies given by the Heavenly Lord..."
A large group of cooking squads and logistics soldiers came out of the barracks, each holding a large pot in their hands. Each group of eight people, that is, a group of eight pots of vegetables, each pot of vegetables is different.
Zao Ying took a closer look and gasped: "Stewed chicken, steamed pork with rice flour, jujube pork, pork elbow, wind chicken, bacon, eight-treasure rice. Is this... luxurious?"
It turned out that Li Daoxuan's takeout was delivered halfway back. He took out eight large bowls of takeout, took a small piece out of each bowl, put it in the box, and handed it to the cooking team.
Then the people in the cooking class divided the "eight giant bowls" given to them by Li Daoxuan into several portions. Each portion was placed in a basin, and each eight basins was matched into a set, making a total of five sets.
The one hundred and twenty horse thieves behind Zao Ying once again made an embarrassing sound of swallowing saliva.
"This...is this the Eight Great Bowls of Xi'an?"
"It's indeed eight big bowls! But they are put in basins here."
"This is the Eight Great Basins of Xi'an!"
"No, are we really in a disaster year now?"
"There is famine everywhere, why can eight bowls be made here?"
"What are your family conditions?"
Cheng Xu actually felt the same shock. He originally wanted to express his gratitude to Tianzun for his generous gift, but when he heard the embarrassing comments from the group of horse thieves behind him, he knew not to thank Tianzun in a hurry.
Tianzun put up this battle, and it was clear that he wanted to enhance the prestige of the militia and shock the outsiders. He could not weaken the momentum of Gaojiacun, he had to shock the foreign bumpkins a little bit.
Cheng Xu stopped thanking Tian Zun for the time being. He turned his head and showed a calm smile to Zao Ying: "It's just eight side dishes. We often eat like this."
Zaoying: "Do you often eat like this?"
Horse thieves: "!!!"
Cheng Xu was laughing wildly in his heart. He was laughing wildly, but on the surface he remained calm: "What are you all doing standing still? Are you all starving?"
Get the bowls and chopsticks and start cooking!
