Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1791: The trip to the north is a hidden worry!

Chapter 1801 Journey to the north, hidden worries!

Fenzhou, the county seat of Xihe County.

"Mr. Mo, how did you guys sleep last night? Are you all about to rest?"

The best inn in the county town, the lobby on the first floor of Penglai Inn, Li Tai asked Mo Chui while having breakfast with Tie Dan and others.

A total of thirty-two members of the Assassin Project were dispatched this time. Most of them are students, and some of them are gentlemen from the physics department of the college. In any case, the gentlemen of the college are older and outside than the students. Life experience should also be richer, so the students' food and daily life along the way are arranged by the gentlemen such as Mo Huai!

"Hehe! This inn is not bad, it’s quite quiet at night. I just saw everyone was in good spirits. I wanted to come here and we should have a good rest last night! After a while after breakfast, we set off. It’s a short distance from Taiyuan Mansion. The journey of more than one hundred miles will definitely not make it today. We will not stop at noon, and strive to settle in Qixian before dark, start from Qixian tomorrow morning, and arrive in Taiyuan probably tomorrow evening!"

Mo Chui smiled and replied lightly.

This time leading all the teachers and students to go north, the "activity funds" provided by the academy are quite sufficient. Before leaving, Yan Silu specifically confessed to him that teachers and students of the academy must eat and drink along the way If you live well, you must not feel sorry for the money. This is what Yan Silu meant and what Li Zexuan meant!

Because the thirty-two people in this line are all elite members of the Academy’s Assassin Project. They are the “baby bumps” of the Academy. This trip to the north is far away and the traffic is exhausting. The students are already very hard. It is impossible to suffer them in terms of food and accommodation!

So on the way from Lantian County to Xihe County, Mo Chui and the whole group lived in the best inn. They ate the most delicious food, in order to reduce the traffic on the road. The pain of fatigue!

"Well! Then bring some dry food and strive to arrive in Qi County this evening!"

Li Tai nodded and decided to say.

Although he is a student and Motri is the husband, he is the commander-in-chief of this northward operation, so he should naturally be the one who makes the final decision.

Moreover, Mo Chui also recognized Li Tai’s talent in engineering, so along the way, he did not feel uncomfortable with Li Tai looking at the overall situation and commanding and dispatching. On the contrary, he was willing to help Li Tai check out the missing vacancies. Because although Li Tai was born in the royal family, he was born with a certain commanding ability, but after all he was young and was not as rich as Mo Chui in terms of life experience. Often at this time, Mo Chui was needed to come forward!

After the two agreed, Duguxin walked in from the outside and whispered in Li Tai's ear: "Your Majesty, the general has ordered the scout team to clear the way first, and the rest of the army can move out at any time, waiting for His Highness to leave the city and meet. !"

Although Mo Chui had packaged the entire inn last night, there were no other guests in the lobby at this time, but Du Gu Xin, who was used to staying in the army, had a strong sense of alertness, so he chose to use this The way of speaking is to avoid revealing the whereabouts of Li Tai and others!

This time, along with the teachers and students of the academy, there were also a thousand imperial imperial troops led by Duguxin and Dugu Feiying. As the mission of this trip involved secrets, they did not disturb the local government and encountered the county. It's just that the people from the academy enter the city to live in the inn, and the thousand forbidden troops are secretly stationed outside the city. Under normal circumstances, Duguxin will take a few personal guards to protect Li Tai, and Dugu Feiying will lead the army outside the city!

It’s not that Li Tai, Mo Chui, etc. treat them differently, but the students and gentlemen of the academy. Their physical fitness is definitely not as good as that of the soldiers who have been working with them for so many years. It's hard work. If they are allowed to sleep in camps outside the city like the Forbidden Army, it is estimated that most of the people in the academy will have fallen before they reach Taiyuan!

"Well! Are the materials in the college safe?"

Li Tae nodded and asked softly.

This trip to the north was mainly to build a telegraph relay station. When coming out of Lantian County, three of the carriages in the academy’s carriages were loaded with the machinery, parts and other materials needed to build the telegraph relay station. Naturally, this important thing is It is not possible to bring them into the city or the inn. In case they are caught by a thief, they will be blind after walking so far. Therefore, the materials of the academy have always been guarded by the forbidden army under Duguxin!

"Your Highness, rest assured, the supplies are intact!"

Duguxin replied briefly.

Able to take away the supplies of the college’s troika under the guard of a thousand forbidden troops, unless the enemy can send five thousand soldiers and horses to kill all the 1,000 forbidden troops, otherwise it is impossible to take away the supplies of the college.

"That's good!"

Li Tai nodded. At this time, he had almost eaten. He got up and said to the surrounding Tiedan, Meng Wenhao, Mo Chui and others: "Everyone hurry up and eat and drink. After eating, go back to the room and pack things, half an hour. Let's go out of town together!"

"Yes!"

Everyone whispered.

Not far away, the shopkeeper and the young man in the inn didn’t dare to say a word when seeing this. They didn’t even dare to look over here, because Duguxin and the people around him all had swords in their hands. It's not a messy master!

Everyone in business understands that more is worse than less. The inn’s shopkeeper instructed his servants to wait for Li Tai carefully last night. Don’t ask anything that shouldn’t be asked. He is only Li Tai. It's a tyrant from somewhere outside the county passing by here, can you not provoke it without provoke!

Half a quarter of an hour later, all the thirty-two people from the academy plus Dugu Xin and other people left the inn and walked outside the city gate. As for the accommodation expenses, Mo Chui had already settled the inn shopkeeper.

"The shopkeeper, what do you say these people are? The carriages they ride are all made by Qiquge!"

After Li Tai and the others left, the inn Xiaoer couldn't help asking.

"Which son may be traveling~!"

Although the shopkeeper was also curious in his heart, he faintly responded to Xiao Si's words, said.

"Hey! The fat boy just now must be the son of the big family, and the person who just walked in is the guard of their house, but I look at the teenagers sitting next to the son, it seems It’s not his servant!"

The young man squeezed his chin, guessing seriously.

"Slap~!"

It's just that his voice fell off, and the shopkeeper's slap fell on the back of his head. He just listened to the shopkeeper's angrily roaring: "Aren't you idle? Who are you in charge of? Quickly? Take someone to clean the table and tidy up the guest room!"

The young man was in pain for a while, jumped to the side, rubbing the back of his head and replied: "Oh! I'm going now!"

"Hey! Curiosity killed the cat, this kid will suffer sooner or later!"

The shopkeeper muttered to himself while looking at the young man's back.

However, his attention was quickly attracted by the pile of Tang Yuan on the counter in front of him. This was the money that Mo Chui had just paid him for the house. Penglai Inn is also the largest inn in Xihe County. There are nearly 50 guest rooms. Li Tai and his party booked the inn this time, and the room was a lot of money for one night!

"What do they do? Just pay for the room!"

The shopkeeper picked up the pile of Tang Yuan and said with a smile.

"Yo~! Guest officer, are you eating or staying in the shop so early?"

At this moment, a big man with dark skin and coarse cloth short coat came outside the door. Xiao Er hurriedly greeted him, but the big man ignored him at all and went straight to the shopkeeper at the counter. Go.

"The shopkeeper, did you have dozens of teenagers staying in your inn last night?"

The big man knocked on the accounting desk, and looked at the shopkeeper and asked in an authentic Guanzhong voice.

"Oh, guest officer, here is where we live, not the place to inquire about news!"

The shopkeeper's eyes narrowed. He listened to the accent of the other party, and he knew that the other party was probably from the capital, but the other party was dressed and completely not like a rich person, so he didn't bother to take care of it!

"Slap~!"

Who knows, the big man took out a hanging copper coin from his waist, slapped it in front of the shopkeeper, and said: "This is consistent money. If you answer certain questions truthfully, a certain family has another important Thanks!"

For Tang Chu, whose prices are extremely low, always money is considered a huge sum of money in the eyes of ordinary people. The shopkeeper is naturally rich, not bad for the usual money, but answers a few questions , You can get consistent money. For him, it is still a very cost-effective business, but he is a bit strange. Isn't it too heavy for him to hang so much copper?

Here, I have to say that since the Yanhuang Bank was established and the court personally came out to promote Tang Yuan, more and more people in Datang began to use Tang Yuan slowly and gradually accepted Tang Yuan, accustomed to it. After the convenience, almost no one will be willing to use copper coins, especially in the Guanzhong area. At present, it is basically difficult to see copper coins in large transactions in many states and counties!

"Hehe! Good to talk! Good to talk!"

The shopkeeper smiled and reached out to take the copper coin that the big man patted on the table, and then said: "There were indeed a group of teenagers and a few adults staying at the inn last night. Why did this guest inquire about this?"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask!"

The big man glanced at the shopkeeper indifferently, without a trace of emotion or vitality in his eyes, he then asked: "How many people are there in their party? How many are there in young men and how many in adults?"

"Um, this...there are about thirty-eight people in total, of which there seem to be more than 20 teenagers, um... the old man can’t remember the exact number. Among adults, it seems that there are five or six people among them. Guard of the boy!"

The shopkeeper recalled for a moment and replied.

"Five or six guards? Then do you know where they are going and what are they doing there?"

The big man asked again.

The shopkeeper waved his hand after hearing the words: "This guest officer, you laughed, I'm just the shopkeeper of the inn, where do I know this? And we come to the inn, but we never inquire about the secrets of our guests!"

"Huh~?"

Hearing this, the big man changed his face instantly and showed a fierce look.

The shopkeeper was taken aback, couldn't help taking two steps back, and hurriedly said: "This guest officer, the old man really doesn't know this, and... and the county office is not far from our inn..."

The implication is that you'd better not make trouble here, or the county government will send you over to jail for a while!

After that, the shopkeeper winked at Xiao Er who was not far away, and then Xiao Er nodded and cautiously leaned toward the door. He wanted to go to the county government office!

"Huh!"

Dahan paused for a moment and snorted. He obviously noticed the actions of the second person behind him. It stands to reason that he can tie up both the shopkeeper and the second person at this time, but then he is bound to be wanted by the government. After thinking about it, he didn't continue to struggle with the shopkeeper, but just turned and left.

As for the "other thanks" he said earlier, it is naturally impossible!

"The shopkeeper, this person is definitely not a beloved person. I'm afraid that the young man who just left is not in danger. Should we report to the government?"

Xiao Er went out to look, and saw that the big man disappeared on the street, he hurried in and said to the shopkeeper behind the counter.

This little second is not stupid. He can see that the previous big man asked Li Tai and his party's whereabouts to be unkind, so he suggested that the shopkeeper go directly to the officer.

"Report your head, take care of your business, and get out of work!"

But the shopkeeper doesn’t think so. He’s just a business man. He doesn’t know Li Tai and the big guy just now. He can’t offend the other party for their sake. It’s not thankful. More is worse than less One thing!

"Oh~! Yes, the shopkeeper~!"

Xiao Er rubbed the back of his head and left in surprise.

…………………………………………………………

On the official road from Xihe County to Qi County, twelve carriages loaded with machines and parts necessary for the teachers and students of the academy and the construction of the telegraph relay station were going northeastward under the **** of more than a thousand imperial palace troops.

Now that the large team has left the county seat, there is nothing to hide from the forbidden army carried by Duguxin. This group of people looks like the imperial army is escorting something to the north. Now the northern border of Datang displays heavy soldiers. The situation between the two countries is suddenly tense, and there are usually many food transport teams rushing north from Guanzhong, so it is not surprising that pedestrians on the road see the team of Duguxin!

It's just that none of them knows. In that carriage, there are the current King Wei and more than 30 teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy!

"Tiedan~IndoMTL.com~Wenhao, what do you say Shanchang is doing now?"

In the carriage, Li Tai suddenly spoke out inexplicably.

The iron egg sitting opposite him frowned at this moment, paused for a moment, and replied: "Before we left the academy, Master had already been in the barracks. Should we now train soldiers in the Xuanjia Army?"

Meng Wenhao turned to look at Li Tai. He didn't understand what Li Tai meant when he mentioned Li Zexuan.

I saw Li Tai sighed and said:

"The mountain leader was with you last time to kill the locusts northward, so even if you encounter problems like this on the road, the mountain leader can solve it for you. But this time you went to the north to repair the telegraph relay station, the mountain leader had no time. Doppelganger, let me be in the front, but in terms of strategizing ability, how can I be as long as the mountain? This is okay to go to Taiyuan. I am worried that if I go to Yunzhou, if the Turks know our purpose, I am afraid they will not let it go! I am always faint. I feel that our journey will not be too smooth!"
