Compared with the Red Army's 25,000-mile Long March, Yun Chu felt that his expedition was basically equivalent to a holiday excursion.

The best part is that the scenery on this hike is so beautiful that it doesn’t look like it’s on earth.

For this reason, Yun Chu also wrote many good poems on the march.

Of course, this is just his idea as a coach.

Soldiers generally don't think so.

In particular, the officers and soldiers of the Dandy Camp had fundamentally different views on Yun Chu.

They originally thought that they were here to gain military merit. Unexpectedly, ever since the army set foot on the Ziwu Road, they had become a group of people who worked hard to train for military merit.

Thinking of their mother's tears when they said goodbye in Qujiang City, they wanted to cry, but unfortunately, they couldn't cry because all the moisture in their bodies turned into sweat and flowed out.

Carrying a hundred kilograms of weight on mountain roads and marching thirty miles a day, and carrying a hundred kilograms of weight on flat land and marching fifty miles a day. Such intense labor intensity caused Di Guangsi's round belly to begin to take shape.

Although this child has become darker, his chubby face has become smaller, and his eyebrows have become more energetic.

Although the child Yun Jin has also turned darker, he did not expect that in just half a month after he was born, the hundreds of kilograms of backpack he was carrying did not weigh him down, but instead he grew a lot taller. At least, he and Li Si They are already about the same height when standing together.

The kid Wen Huan doesn't know why, but he just likes his pretty face. Even when he is sweating while carrying heavy objects, he still has to use a curtain to block the sun. Unfortunately, the curtain can only cover his face, but not his face* With the arms exposed, this child has a white face and dark limbs, making it look even weirder.

The only person who has not changed is Li Chengxiu. He walks easily with heavy loads on his back. The swords of several people are on his back. Climbing the mountain road is still fast and easy.

These young people have all been through hardships since they were young, so they can still bear some hardships.

Yun Jin thought that the dudes in the Zhixu camp might complain incessantly, but unexpectedly, after the heavy backpack was put on their shoulders, each of them seemed to be more tolerant than the other.

There are some guys with oily hair and pink faces who look spoiled at first glance. People like this will suffer more than a camel after they hit the road. Their feet will be covered with blood blisters when they walk at night. When they take a rest at night, they will be broken open and the blood will flow out.

Yun Jin thought that the four of them should be the four most outstanding among the seven hundred people, but now it seems that he doesn't think so.

Wen Huan said: "Master Wife has set a very high threshold."

Di Guangsi asked: "How high?"

Wen Huan said: "It's as high as five hundred guan. When the master collects the money, I keep the account book."

Li Chengxiu asked: "Have you collected the money from the people from Luoyang?"

Wen Huan sighed and said: "Maybe it was taken over by His Majesty..."

Yun Jin, who was drinking water, coughed violently and said, "No way?"

Wen Huan said: "My wife was smiling all over her face when she collected the money. I saw it clearly. If I hadn't agreed with His Majesty, how could I have dared to collect the money so confidently and only wanted cash!"

Li Chengxiu said: "Five hundred guan. Logically speaking, this money can already buy a small official's pawn."

Wen Huan shook his head and said: "Nowadays, the way to buy an official position is basically banned by the prince. You can only buy a minor official with money. Five hundred guan is not worth it.

These people who came here all have some titles, either as a lieutenant or as a lieutenant. These titles all came from His Majesty's execution of the "Tweening Grace Order" during the Taishan Fengzen Period, and the great titles were divided among them. A shredded one.

Those people are not fools. The hard-earned titles cannot be used on real dandies. You know, if they don’t work hard, they can only show off their titles for a while, and then they will be gone. That’s not true. If there is no more, you will be kicked out by the nobles. In that case, you will not be able to enter the four schools, and you can only marry a woman from a merchant's family or a commoner's family.

Therefore, those that are worth spending a lot of money on are not considered dandy, but are basically a temporary choice for the family.

Only after he was sure that a trip to the southwest would bring him military glory would he be willing to pay. 「

Li Chengxiu said: "No wonder, it's been half a month, and not one person has been thrown into the cliff to feed the wild beasts. Ah Huan, master, my wife loves you the most. You said, if someone can't keep up, master will really kill him." Throw it off a cliff? "

Wen Huan said: "Even if Master is joking, the various commanders will not think it is a joke. Since it is a military order from the Chinese army's headquarters, they will strictly implement it and throw it away without delay."

Just when a few people were talking in full swing, they suddenly heard the captain and brigade commander in front of them starting to shout loudly to take a rest and have lunch.

Yun Jin placed his backpack on the ground, and so did Li Chengxiu and the others. They had already entered the Qinling Mountains. Many trees and rocks looked harmless to humans and animals. God knew what bad things might be on, behind, or underneath those things.

At the beginning of the break, everyone did it

Under the envious eyes of many people, the bandit army came to Yunjin and the others to dig food from their backpacks in preparation for making rice.

Looking at the deflated backpack, Li Chengxiu said proudly: "Is it right to listen to my choice?"

Without waiting for Yun Jin and others to praise him, Cheng Hu immediately leaned his head closer and said, "In the past, I, Azu, never made a mistake when listening to Ying Gong, and our brothers never made a mistake when listening to Uncle Li."

Wen Huan said dissatisfiedly: "We are senior brothers and you should all call us uncle."

Cheng Hu saluted Wen Huan and the others without any embarrassment: "Uncle Yun, Uncle Wen, and Uncle Di, this time when we go to the southwest, my nephew will rely on these uncles."

Wen Huan looked at Yun Jin and said, "Why don't I feel like I'm taking advantage of you?"

Yun Jin pointed at Li Sid who came over with a food box and said, "I'm afraid I'll still suffer a loss."

Cheng Bao said with a smile: "I don't know what delicious food Aunt Li Si brought today."

The six brothers of the Cheng family all stepped forward to greet their Aunt Li Si. Li Si, who didn't know that she had been promoted to a six-and-a-half-year-old man, thought these six guys were very sensible, until they started calling her in unison. I didn’t realize anything was wrong until I came to my aunt.

There were four large pieces of roast beef in the food box, as well as a roast chicken, a pork knuckle, and a bowl of porridge.

Cheng Hu smiled and served them the beef that was obviously prepared for the four Yunjin brothers. Cheng Jiao also thoughtfully packed four bowls of porridge for them and said: "Uncles eat beef, and those who don't eat are left for My nephews."

Wen Huan took a bite of his roast beef and watched the six brothers of the Cheng family happily eating roast chicken and nibbling on the elbow. He said to Yun Jin with some sadness: "Guang Si likes to nibble on the elbow the most."

Di Guangsi finished the palm-sized piece of beef on the plate early, licked his lips and said, "Damn it, I have to eat pig food from the army."

Li Si sat next to Yun Jin and said, "My aunt, where did they come from?"

Yun Jin pointed at Wen Huan angrily.

Wen Huan immediately threw the pot to Li Chengxiu.

Li Chengxiu sighed and said, "There is no way. I, Aye, and Cheng Gong are brothers in life and death. There is no problem with me being an uncle. And because we are senior brothers, that's how you, Senior Sister Sisi, become an aunt."

Li Si saw the Cheng family brothers all raising their heads and grinning at him, and chuckled: "I know it's clinging, but it's not annoying at all."

After that, he waved to Cheng Long and the others and said, "Come here and call me aunt again so that I, the princess, can listen."

Since the death of Emperor Taizong, in order to avoid suspicion and because of Changsun Wuji's domineering character, the Cheng Yaojin family has basically severed close ties with the royal family. Now, the emperor's legitimate daughter and the prince's sister Princess Anding asked them to call them aunt , and this aunt did not mean humiliation, so in the disdainful eyes of many people, the six nearly grown men of the Cheng family were surrounding Li Si's affectionate aunt in men's clothing, and the aunt kept shouting, It's like a group of pigeons suddenly appeared on the mountain road.

Call it contempt, but there is still a hint of envy in many people's eyes.

There is never a shortage of military rations in Yunchu's army, but it is purely a dream to expect the gang leaders to cook well for you.

Waiting for the gang leader

When the soldiers were carrying huge wooden buckets to load rice into the soldiers' rice bowls, a full spoonful of sticky stuff was dropped into the rice bowls. It is said that this thing was soup cakes, and there was a lot of dry food in it. Meat.

A piece of beef and a bowl of soup would naturally not be enough to feed big-bellied men like Yun Jin, Wen Huan, Di Guangsi, and Li Chengxiu.

Yun Jin fished out a green forest frog from the so-called soup cake and was about to throw it away, but Cheng Hu took it away, removed the four legs of the forest frog and started chewing it.

Wen Huan had a hard time eating, but there were no forest frogs in his rice bowl. The gang leader also looked after people when serving food. Yun Jin was the handsome young master, so he naturally deserved special care.

The forest frog might have been accidentally caught by the gang leader while he was cooking, so he threw it into the rice pot and cooked it together. Anyway, it was just a piece of meat, so it was a good thing.

Di Guangsi was foul-mouthed and would not refuse anyone who came with food. As for Li Chengxiu, he was already used to the food in the army.

Li Si felt nauseated and couldn't bear to see Yun Jin trying hard to eat. He was obviously a gentle and noble young master, but now he was living worse than even Chang'an's groom.

"If you can't eat it, don't eat it. I'll get it for you again."

Yun Jin put the last mouthful of rice into his mouth and said, "Don't take it anymore. It will not be good if it confuses the morale of the army."

Li Sidao: "Why is this so?"

Yun Jin smiled and said: "What I bear now is what I have to bear."

"Are you going to do big things like Aye and my brother in the future?"

Yun Jin shook his head and said: "I prefer studying, practicing martial arts, and tinkering with porcelain now. Although I don't want to do anything big, but as a family, it's one thing not to do big things. You must have the ability to do big things. .”
