Chapter 6 Confinement

Jin Bi and the postman got out of the car. Zheng Anping endured the soreness in his back and got out of the car as calmly as possible and approached Jin Bi.

When the people in the three cars gathered together, Jin Bi said: "We have reached the boundary river in the middle of the circle. You work in pairs and search up and down to see where the bridge is. When you find it, give three high-fives as a signal."

Zheng Anping seemed to have heard the pardon order: he could finally come down and take a few steps. He and other postmen raised their hands together and said, "I have the order!" and then he and his companions headed upstream.

Before he could warm himself up, a stone bridge appeared in front of him. Zheng Anping crossed the bridge and tested that there was no problem with the stone bridge. His companions high-fived and signaled to others that the bridge had been found.

After a while, the three cars and horses arrived and passed the stone bridge one by one.

After getting on the chariot, Jin Bi climbed onto Cha Shi, looked forward for a while, and pointed in the direction. The chariot continued to move forward, and the other two chariots still followed on the wings.

After driving forward for a while, Zheng Anping could vaguely see the dark city in front of him through the moonlight, and there seemed to be a few lights on the city.

"This should be Zhongzhong City."

The so-called Xinzhong is actually the hunting ground where King Wei hunted, which refers to a large desolate wilderness far away from Daliang. Ten years ago, the Qin army invaded Xinzhong and wiped out all the prey inside. In order to strengthen the defense of Xinzhong, King Wei

A city was built here. Based on this city, Zhongmu County was formed in later generations.

"We're almost there." Zheng Anping thought to himself. He was already a little sleepy. From the time he received Chuanyi in the early morning to now, he has been running almost all the time on the road, only eating a few bites of food in a hurry at home.

Chatted with the old man for a while.

Thinking of the old man, Zheng Anping's heart tightened again. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to have such an old man in his family.

Then he thought of the militiamen marching in Donghongli. They seemed to be coming in this direction. "They shouldn't be marching at night! Where did they go? Did they arrive at the inn?"

Sometimes I was thinking wildly, and sometimes I was taking a nap. The city was already in sight.

The sentries on the city had obviously noticed them, and the gatekeepers were already waiting.

"Who are you?" the guard asked.

"King Jin Jie of Wei is here!" Jin Bi took out the bronze jie from his arms.

The guard replied: "Since it is King Wei's Golden Festival, I don't dare to greet you. Please allow me to inform the guards and go out of the city to greet you!"

Jin Bi said: "Thank you, brother!"

After a while, the guard came back and shouted to Jin Bi at the top of the city: "The guard will pick you up, please get out of the car!"

Jin Bi got out of the car himself and moved back about fifty steps. The city gate opened and a group of officers, big and small, came out. The leader was a man dressed as a scholar, short in stature; the one next to him was tall and tall.

When Jin Bi saw someone leaving the city, he went to greet him. The tall man walked a few steps in front of him, stopped Jin Bi and saluted, "How dare you invite me to the Golden Festival!"

Jin Bi handed over the copper festival. The tall man took it and turned around and handed it to the short man. The short man took it and looked at it carefully. He took two steps and saluted, "I'm so lucky to see the general. What a blessing!"

"

Jin Bi returned the greeting and said, "How dare you! I was ordered by the king to watch and guard the style. How lucky is this boy!"

The guard held up his hands and asked Jin Bi to enter the city gate. He said to the tall man, "Please rest in peace at the post."

The tall man walked in front of the car in the middle and said to the people in the three cars: "Please follow me!"

The post official looked confused, and the driver said: "Sir, please get in the car!"

The tall man immediately raised his hand to the driver and said, "I don't dare, I'm so fierce."

The driver still held the whip in one hand and the reins in the other, and only answered with his mouth: "Wei Gongzi Xinlingjun's door is open."

Weiwei got on the car and showed the road. The driver drove around to the south of the city, and the other two cars also followed. There was a pavilion post surrounded by earthen walls outside the south gate. Weiwei called the door, and an old postman opened the door.

The soldiers came out to greet them. Wei Wei said: "The military situation is urgent. All the young and strong people have entered the city. There are only old soldiers here, but this is not careful!"

The driver named Qi answered again: "Thank you for your hard work, Lieutenant, I will settle it myself!" He turned back to the post official Masan and said: "You take your own people to clean up the three houses and settle them, and the three of us will feed the horses in the backyard.

"

Ma San seemed to have come to his senses at this moment. He got out of the car, called Zheng Anping and the four postmen to get out of the car together, followed the old soldier to the side courtyard to open three guest rooms, and followed the old soldier to the kitchen to receive the food.

Grain, fruits and vegetables, prepare to make a fire to cook by yourself. These are all things that the postmen have done on a daily basis, so they are readily available - but they usually do it for others, but now they do it for themselves.

Seeing that everything was going well here, Wei Wei called for resettlement and left on his own. Throughout the whole day, Zheng Anping seemed to have just returned to his original self. He sat down on the ground regardless of dignity and let his two thick hairy legs be exposed.

The other postmen also said "Oh!" and collapsed on the ground, laying down.

Masan was still murmuring as if in a dream: "I saw Lord Xinling..., followed him..., took a bus..., stayed in the post house..., received the post meal..., my mother will know

Yes!" After hearing this, everyone seemed to understand, but they didn't want to ask any more questions. They just lay down flat and relaxed their sore and swollen bodies. Not long after, someone snored loudly.

Although they received the rice, no one seemed to be planning to eat and chose to sleep. The room became quiet. Zheng Anping also closed his eyes, but he did not fall asleep. He heard the three drivers returning to the room, but then

The room was quiet, and there must not be such an unseemly scene. "Maybe this is the so-called gentleman's style!" Zheng Anping smiled bitterly in his heart.

But in an instant, his heart was tugged: the sound of carriages and horses could be heard faintly in his ears. "Such a big convoy? Is this Mr. Xinling following you?"

After listening carefully, the sound of the motorcade seemed to have stopped again; ah, no, there were only a few cars. Zheng Anping was confused by what he heard. "What's going on! Random thoughts!" He laughed at himself.

These cars seemed to be driving in this direction,... stopped at the edge of the city,... entered the city...

Zheng Anping felt a little tired and fell asleep as soon as his head fell.

It seemed that just when he fell asleep, there was a knock on the door.

Zheng Anping suddenly woke up and sat up. He heard the old soldier go out to open the door, and several people walked in. A loud voice shouted: "Where does the new postman live?" A group of people walked into the yard. Zheng Anping pushed

After waking up the remaining people, the door opened, and Jin Bi stood in front of the door, his voice unusually loud: "Where is your scout?"

The post officer was obviously panicked. He was resting in the post, but he still wanted to scold the prince?

Jin Bi said sternly: "The Qin army is approaching, but you are still so careless. Are you risking your life?"
