The guards were busy feeding the horses, and Tian Jianxiu, as their leader, naturally didn't have to do these things. At this moment, he was leaning against a big tree, holding a piece of cake in his hand and eating in a big mouthful of cold water.

Guangcai, also known as marching cake, is a cake-like food made of flour and a little salt. It is about the size of a sea bowl and has a perforation in the middle. Because it has a long shelf life and anti-hunger characteristics, it is not only the main grain for marching in the Ming army, but many merchants often use it as dry food on the road when doing long distances.

While eating the dry and hard pancake, Tian Jianxiu drank water in a big mouthful of water in her pants, but she was recalling what had happened in the past two days in her heart like lightning.

What happened two days ago was simply a nightmare. Six days ago, he and his escorts followed the convoy escorting gold, silver and food to head towards Huizhou Prefecture through the hidden path.

At the beginning, the team was moving smoothly, and nothing happened for three or four days, but until two days ago, a small team of cavalry from the Jiangning Army suddenly met them.

The cavalry team probably didn't expect to meet them. Both sides were stunned for a while, and then the cavalry team immediately broke off from contact with them without thinking.

Although both sides did not have time to fight, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom of the valley, and their whereabouts were revealed. If nothing unexpected happens, the large group of cavalry of the Jiangning Army should have arrived here soon.

At that time, Tian Jianxiu immediately told the brigade in charge of escorting the team that he asked him to immediately leave all the food, grass, gold and silver, and everyone evacuated at full speed, so that he might be able to arrive at Huizhou Prefecture before the Ming army brigade arrived.

But the proposal was rejected by the brigade. The order he received was that if there was any mistake in this batch of food, grass and gold and silver, he could wipe his neck himself.

Of course, he could also use oil to escape and hide. Anyway, Liu Zongmin could not look for him all over the world.

But it is obvious that this brigade was Liu Zongmin's confidant, and he was a little stubborn. He had never thought about such a thought at all. And the most important point was that there were more than 3,000 people responsible for escorting this batch of gold, silver, food and grass, including 500 cavalrymen. It was these people who gave him the confidence.

In the eyes of this brigade, with so many people guarding it, it is useless for the Jiangning Army to come in less people. Even if there are too many people, with these troops and so many big chariots as cover, they can still stand up to the reinforcements from Huizhou Prefecture to arrive.

It is precisely because of this that the brigade made the decision to speed up and continue moving forward.

But no one expected that the Jiangning Army would come so quickly. In less than two hours, a group of Jiangning Army cavalry began to chase after them. As time went by, the number of people increased, and soon the Jiangning Army cavalry began to attack them.

Although the brigade ordered formation to defend when it discovered that the cavalry of the Jiangning Army brigade appeared, their defeat still occurred.

In less than half an hour, with the sound of muskets and the enemy of ten thousand people hitting them one after another, the temporary round formation was exploding and holes were shattered. A cavalry swung into the round formation with long swords, killing the people inside, and blood flowing into the river. As for the cavalry that had high hopes for more than 500 people, the entire army was wiped out in less than two quarters of an hour.

Seeing that even after being defeated, Tian Jianxiu immediately fled towards Huizhou Prefecture with dozens of his guards, but their actions were soon noticed by the Jiangning army, and a team of cavalry followed them and chased them. Along the way, Tian Jianxiu fought and retreated. After losing more than ten guards, he escaped here.

While eating hard light cakes and drinking cold water, Tian Jianxiu felt increasingly depressed. His plan was about to come true. He was about to enter the city of Ningguo Mansion. Unexpectedly, the cavalry of the Jiangning Army suddenly appeared and beat the three thousand soldiers that he had finally pulled up, and he turned into a bare palm brigade again.

"Tian Master."

An escort next to him came to him and sat down, handed him a piece of stuff.

Tian Jianxiu took the thing and saw it was a rectangular biscuit that was only half a palm-sized size.

He couldn't help but be stunned and cursed with a smile: "Lu Dacai of Donkeys, you have hidden enough that you can only take out such a good thing now."

The thing this guard took out was actually the compressed biscuits equipped by Yang Feng for the Jiangning Army. This is also the standard configuration of the Jiangning Army. This biscuit is much stronger in terms of taste, nutrition and portability than the light cakes commonly used by the people now, and is very popular among the soldiers of the Jiangning Army.

It is just that because Jiangning Army never sells such things to the outside world, it is rarely circulated outside.

The reason why this guard was able to be taken out was that he searched you from the soldiers of Jiangning Army who died in battle was that when Yi Tian saw the scholar, he smiled.

The guard named Lu Dacai laughed and said, "I searched this from a dead soldier a few days ago. There was originally a large bag, but I ate a few pieces. It was salty and sweet. You can try it."

Tian Jianxiu didn't blame the guard for hiding his own private affairs without hiding it. They were originally from bandits, so it was normal for them to hide good things themselves.

After finishing the compressed biscuit in just a few seconds, Tian Jianxiu nodded: "Not bad, it's really delicious. It's much better than our pancakes, but it's a little less."

Lu Dacai smiled and said, "Master Tian, ​​don't look like this small piece. After eating this piece, you can drink a bowl of water to make a meal. If you like to eat it, I'll find some for you next time."

"Forget it." Tian Jianxiu waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "It's fine to taste this thing occasionally, but it's not enough to eat it often. It's up to you to exchange for your brothers' lives."

Lu Dacai suddenly asked, "Master Tian, ​​we have lost all our money this time. Can the military advisor and the King of Chuang fulfill his promise after returning to Huizhou Prefecture?"

Tian Jianxiu's two colors flashed with a hint of gloom, and then he forced a smile and said, "What a hero, the King of Chuang, how can I break my trust? After I go back this time, I believe that the King of Chuang and the Military Advisor will give us a soldier. In addition, we have made such great contributions, both gold and silver and women will have it."

“So what you said.”

A hint of joy flashed in Lu Dacai's eyes, "I used to think that women with big butts and thick waists are good. It was not until I slept with an official lady a few days ago that I realized that those young ladies with fine skin and tender flesh that could produce water with just one pinch are really good. After I go back this time, I must ask the military advisor for one... No, I ask three young ladies and ask them to give birth to a son for me, so that my life will not be in vain."

"Hahaha……"
