    After leaving Daxing City, Huang Mingyuan and his party headed north, taking the Guanbei Official Road built on the basis of Qinzhi Road. As expected, they spent the night in Huayuan.

    From Daxing to Huayuan, it was only more than 150 miles, which is about 160 miles today.  Although Huang Mingyuan was in a hurry to rush to Jiuyuan, he did not waste too much horsepower. One person and two horses, the group passed through Yongzhou, Fuzhou, Shangzhou, and Xiazhou, and arrived at Dejing Town that evening.

    Dejing Town, belongs to Xiazhou, formerly Shuofang County of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty established Mihun garrison here, with Mihunshui in the south. In the third year of Kaihuang's reign, Mihun garrison was established as a town, and it belongs to Yanlv County.  On the east bank of the Liutu River in the West Sea of ??Yulin City, Shaanxi today, it is considered the southern end of the Mu Us Desert in Ordos. Later, it was promoted to Dejing County in the 9th year of Daye.  Xiazhou is named after the Great Xia Kingdom established by the Huns Helianbobo during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. The most famous history in later generations is that the Xixia people became powerful here.  However, it is still the Great Sui Dynasty, and Dejing Town is only a military fortress in the Guanbei region to defend against bandits, horse bandits, nomadic tribes and other forces, but it does have a lot of garrisons.

    The setting sun is setting in the west, but it leaves an afterglow that looks like blood.  The dark clouds from the north are coming up, and a snowstorm is coming.

    A fast horse came from the direction of Dejing and drove quickly to Huang Mingyuan's horse.

    "Lang Jun, ahead is Dejingguanyu." Wu Zeng, who had led the way before, pointed it out to Huang Mingyuan.

    Everyone followed them to the entrance of the official post. The small official post looked a little dilapidated, and the word "post" floating in the wind was swaying casually.  An old soldier guarding the gate was wearing a sheepskin coat and leaning against the door with his neck hunched. When he saw someone approaching, he quickly ran forward to greet them.  The old army knew very well about these young men riding tall horses, and must make them happy, and save them trouble if they were rewarded.

    "General, please." He said and hurriedly came to lead the horse, shouting at the top of his voice, "Xiaowuzi, you idiot, you haven't come to lead the horse yet."

    "Lead the way, we'll do it ourselves." The Jiao brothers who were leading the way didn't let the old army touch their horses at all. They got down and held the horses themselves, letting the old army lead the way into the post house.

    Seeing such an old soldier, he was not upset at all, and let Xiao Wuzi, who hurriedly ran over, lead everyone to the stable in the backyard. However, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart that these people were "quite small."

    "Please ask the veteran to prepare some food and hot soup (hot water) for us."

    A group of people entered the courtyard, and half of the stables were filled with many horses.  The Jiao brothers and a few people were busy feeding the horses, and Huang Mingyuan led everyone into the east chamber.

    After the group of people finished eating in two groups, it was completely dark. The dark wind filled the entire yard with a rustling roar, and soon there were snowflakes falling from the sky.

    "Tonight, Gongying and Sanlang will take the people to guard the stables. Fang Jie and Yan Qing will be on the secret sentry duty, while Ziren and I will be on the bright sentry duty. If it doesn't snow heavily tonight, we will eat at 10:00 tomorrow morning and set off at 3:00."

    "No!"

    In fact, whether in the army or on the march, Huang Mingyuan attached great importance to the arrangement of scouts, light and dark sentries, and one and two sentries. After all, many warriors and famous generals died in sudden enemy attacks.

    Huang Mingyuan understands very well that as a soldier, he must not let down his guard at any time. He needs to give himself time to react. He cannot be paralyzed just because he is in a good environment, otherwise he will suffer a big loss.  It's too late.  When the Red Army marched into southern Jiangxi, Lin Shuai, a former enemy commander, forgot to place sentries because he was short of men and horses, which led to a surprise attack by the Kuomintang army Liu Shiyi's troops. Commander-in-Chief Zhu almost died in the battle.  The bloody lessons of future generations cannot be forgotten even in this life.

    The snow gradually became heavier, and the night slowly fell.

    At about the beginning of the second watch, a group of noisy voices came into the yard. Huang Mingyuan looked out through the window. There were quite a few people. I don¡¯t know which official was delayed, and there were men and women.

    After a while, the sound became louder, with women¡¯s shrill screams, men¡¯s curses, and begging for mercy, as if they were in the city.  Soon someone came knocking on Huang Mingyuan's door.

    "Generals, I'm sorry to bother you. Outside is the son of General Yuan Da. He just came over from Baicheng Town overnight. He is not satisfied with the room in the west wing and has to change it. Do you think you can give in  "" The person who knocked on the door was Yi Cheng, who was in his forties, with traces of snow on his back and red marks on his face. He stammered to Huang Mingyuan with a twinkle in his eye.

    Huang Mingyuan has no interest in competing with others, nor does he want to cause more trouble. He has seen many such young masters from aristocratic families in Chang'an, so there is no need to cause trouble here.

    "Okay." Without further words, everyone who had been awake for a long time walked towards the west wing carrying their weapons and luggage.  He has no interest in going againMeet Mr. Brother, they have to go on their way tomorrow.

    After entering the west wing, Huang Mingyuan whispered a few words to Huang Qing, and everyone went to rest.  Huang Qing walked out of the room and disappeared after a while.

    In the noise of Yixin and other pedestrians, everyone gradually fell asleep.  It's as if the episode just now never happened.

    But it was said that the next group of people in the inn were none other than Yuanju, the third son of Dianmin, the general of Wuyuan County, Zuowei. Yuanmin was an important minister in the court, and was in charge of the imperial guards. He was favored. Yuanju also had a bright future due to his father's merits.  The official rank of Fuyi and the Third Division does not have any actual duties.  He came to Baicheng Town for fun, and he stopped and stopped on the way back. He missed the time and encountered a snowstorm, so he temporarily rested at Dejingyi.  The group was dissatisfied with both the room and the food, so they kept fussing for a long time before resting.

    The snow was now very heavy, and soon it covered the roof and the ground, as if a huge mat had been covered from the sky.

    When it was almost five o'clock, someone knocked on the door three times.  Li Ziren, who was on duty at night, quickly opened the door. At this time, Huang Ming, who was sleeping in the back room, heard the noise and got up.

    "Mr. Lang, someone came to the stable to steal our horses just now. Mr. Sanlang and I have arrested the person without making any announcement. Now he is locked up in the stable." The person who replied was Ou who was staying at the stable with Huang Mingzhen for the night.  Yan.

    Hearing Ou Yan¡¯s words, Huang Mingyuan thought for a moment and immediately asked everyone to get up, put on their clothes and get ready.

    Huang Mingyuan couldn't help but wonder, what happened today is really strange, Yuan Min's young master stole a horse, but since he is Yuan Min's young master, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to be kind.

    Suddenly, several dogs barked from the yard, which seemed very abrupt in the silent cold night.  Everyone's hearts tightened. This was the secret code for the night watch.

    At this time, suddenly there was chaos outside the courtyard, and the sound of a noisy crowd came over.

    Li Ziren, who was leaning at the door, immediately looked through the window and saw that the group of people holding fire outside the house were the soldiers of the Yuan family. They came so fast that Huang Mingyuan was caught off guard.

    Not mentioning how they came so fast, Huang Mingyuan immediately ordered everyone to prepare for battle with their weapons, but he opened the door and walked out.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
