Chapter 238: Bai Dai Mountain

In this kind of atmosphere that all parties can accept but not very harmonious, Ye Tao set off. The day after leaving Danyang with Lian Fei and his party's ceremonial guard, he left the road from Danyang to Yuhang, turned southwest, and first headed towards Jinzhou. Whether it was Dongping or Yunzhou, he would not have so simply handed over Ye Tao's safety to Chunnan to take charge. Behind Ye Tao and his party, two small-scale troops quietly adjoined behind them for a few hours. One of them was a special camp.

Team A is currently only 150 people. After the basic training is completed, performing this stealth marching mission that seems to not happen is a transfer for them; the other team is a 129 cavalry composed of elite troops from the Iron Cloud Cavalry, Jing Yun Cavalry, Frost Wolf Blade, Guard Cavalry Battalion, Blood Qi Army, and Imperial Guards. All of these troops are strong main combat troops. Due to the fierce competition for quotas, almost every soldier in this quietly formed temporary cavalry team has unique skills.

The tasks of these two troops were very simple. Follow Ye Tao into Chunnan, and without being discovered by Chunnan, Ye Tao kept Ye Tao within a distance they could reach for about an hour until Ye Tao boarded the ship in Yuhang. This task is very challenging. Compared to Dongping, Chunnan's army may have loose training and combat power, but it is not easy to sneak for several months in Chunnan without supply. But these two small troops accepted this challenge very happily. It is precisely because of the difficulty of this kind that makes this type of marching task very interesting. In fact, the A team of the Special Battalion began to deliberately misunderstand this task at the same time as receiving the task. Their understanding is that they can be found to be bandits, horse thieves, robbers, smuggling caravans, gangs of the rivers, migrant refugees... Anyway, don't be regarded as Dongping's army.

Perhaps it was because of the desire to strengthen the connection between the two parties, Sun Jin and Ye Tao and others traveled together. For those who were scheduled to play an important role in accompanying Chang Ling, Sun Jin was indeed dispensable to Lian Fei and her party. In fact, too many people did not understand why Chang Hongquan would not have thought of why Chang Huaiyin, perhaps not particularly favored in the royal family, but no one questioned her, and no one questioned her importance to marry such a "insignificant" poor student. That was not something that Chang Hongquan could explain in order to avoid suspicion and not want to marry a noble family's children to continue to attract court officials to fear him.

As Sun Jin accompanied Ye Tao on his way, the Changfu naturally had to send people to take care of Sun Jin's daily life and safety accordingly. Among the many people who came to Changfu this time, the real manager Chang Zeng, who was once deprived of his face by Ye Tao.

Ye Tao and his party's speed was different than that of the car of Concubine Lian, who slowly enjoyed the admiration and admiration of the people along the way. They entered Chunnan in just four days.

Jinzhou is located quite west of Chunnan, and only 300 miles away from the border between Chunnan and Xiling. In fact, the lineage of Juxian King Chang Hongquan became the mainstay of regional resistance to Xiling when Xiling invaded repeatedly, which made their position in Chunnan always stand firm no matter how the court fought. Those who dared to move the lineage of Xianwang may not be able to be eliminated, but will attract a comprehensive rebound from Jinzhou and the four states on the entire defense line west of Jinzhou. Not only that, in the territory of several prefectures around Jinzhou, although Juxian King Chang Hongquan did not deliberately win over and buy it,

The people in Juxian Prince's Mansion also have a high influence. Ye Tao and others felt very obvious in this regard. The territory was still three days away from Jinzhou, and the envoys sent by Chang Zeng first often just talked to the local officials. When Ye Tao and his party arrived, all arrangements were implemented according to the highest standards. Chunnan was indeed rich and rich and a bit extravagant. Although Ye Tao might not like this feeling of being extravagant and wasted along the way, it didn't seem to matter since he didn't pay the bill himself. He knew that the reception fee along the way was not the one who paid the bill on Juxian Prince's Mansion. Instead, it was all included in Chunnan's reception fee for this visit to relatives.

This day I came to Yizhou. This is a prefecture with a strange terrain in central Chunnan. Most of Yizhou is very flat, with lush plain deciduous broad-leaved forests and farmland, and both agriculture and forestry are very developed.

But Yizhou can almost be called a flat landform, but there are three mountains standing in an incongruous manner. The bases of these three mountains are not large, but the height is impressive. The steep terrain and good view make these three villas always the best place for wealthy families who control the boundaries of these three mountains to build villa residences.

Due to the terrain of Zangjian Peak, only a Taoist sect with little reputation has built Taoist temples on the top of the mountain. Except for daily purchases, Baima Mountain has never completely belonged to any family. From the top of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, there are many manors of wealthy families. Although it does not reduce the beauty of looking at the plains from the mountain, it will be a bit complicated and trivial to settle hundreds of people.

So, the place they stayed in Yizhou was the Vanke Villa, which belongs to the extremely famous Yizhou Wang Family on Mount Ye Dai. Vanke Villa was a man from the Wang family. Wang Shi spent almost twenty years to renovate and renovate when he was young, and finally reached its current scale. The exquisiteness in the dullness and sparse and dense architectural complexes and mountains perfectly matched together, taking into account the natural landscape, architectural beauty, practicality, safety and defense, and the simplicity of daily maintenance. In the cumbersome and glittering architectural style of Chunnan, he can be regarded as an alien. After the old man Wang Shi showed off his flauntful view of Vanke Villa, Ye Tao privately withdrew Sun Jin's comment that "There is no garden worth his visit to Chunnan", which can be regarded as a very high evaluation of Mr. Wang Shi.

Mr. Wang Shi had already handed over the family affairs to his nephews and fell in love with all kinds of things, especially those exquisite things. Ye Tao's arrival made Wang Shi very happy. There were three Tissot clocks produced by Ye's workshop in his study that he had broken up and couldn't be fully installed. Wang Shi bought a total of six clocks, and except for three in various places in the villa, he had all removed the other three. He had originally removed one clock with an anchor escapement but failed to be installed. He wanted to buy another one for reference, but the people below bought the second generation clock with a locust claw escapement. When he disassembled it and didn't fit it, he bought another one... As a result, the Ye's workshop only produced a small number of the latest coaxial escapement clocks.

Mr. Wang Shi's cute personality and the huge charm of Vanke Villa made Ye Tao decide to stay here for two more days. It can also be regarded as the guards of Chunnan who were desperately following the Chunnan side who did not fall behind to take a breath and rest. The next day at noon, Bi Xiaoqing suddenly came to report: "Sir, the special camp has sent information. They were stationed in the forest in the northwest yesterday. There was something unusual in the forest. In order not to be discovered at night, they did not move. After investigation, they found that after a fight in the forest, they came from the traces left. Both sides of the pursuit and fugitive were passing through the forest, and they should have come in the rough direction."

Ye Tao frowned and said, "You ask everyone to be more careful. After all, this is Chunnan. As long as you don't really have conflicts with us, we should try not to interfere in other people's internal affairs."

Bi Xiaoqing responded: "Yes. Please rest assured, sir." For the guards around Ye Tao, they were always very vigilant, and their strong personal abilities made situations such as double posts and double whistles meaningless. Bi Xiaoqing only ordered that there might be a situation, so that everyone would be careful. Then he sent a total of fifteen people to divide them into five groups to search the surrounding Vanke Villa in the name of hunting and playing. The two trained golden eagles they carried who could be used to deliver letters or search the ground were also released to ensure that at least before nightfall, there was no abnormality on the surrounding ground.

Although Bi Xiaoqing's affairs were arranged very low-key, the abnormal movements of Ye Tao's guards still attracted Chun Nan's attention.

Not long after, Huo Dong, the commander of the Chunnan Army, found Bi Xiaoqing and asked carefully what was going on.

Bi Xiaoqing weighed the situation and thought that as long as the people from Chunnan were not allowed to discover the special camp or guard cavalry, it would not matter. The special camp reported the situation to him, which was enough to prove that there must be something they paid attention to. What happened in their lurking forest may not be that simple. But how could they explain it to Huo Dong? The golden eagle flashed before Bi Xiaoqing's eyes, and he immediately had an idea.

"General Huo, the eagle we brought with us found something in the forest in the north." Bi Xiaoqing explained with kindness: "This is the eagle in Yunzhou for battlefield reconnaissance and military training. The range of visits to the ground is particularly large. It should have been seen something, which is relatively far away from here, so it should not be for this. However, even if it is not to prevent problems before they happen, at least we brothers will loosen our muscles and go out for a run."

Bi Xiaoqing's words are very convincing. The golden eagle who is truly flying in the air is the best footnote.

Huo Dong didn't think much, and naturally showed a look of worry. He was just an intermediate officer in the Chunnan Imperial Army. He was almost forty-five years old and still had no place to go. I'm afraid he would have to retreat from the army in a few years. Ye Tao was still very easy to get along with for this guard mission. Except for tightly grasping the itinerary, he was very easy to talk to at other times. Jinzhou was already looking forward, which made Huo Dong a little relaxed.
