Horse Posthouse?
Could this be the Horse Posthouse?
Originally, Wu Tianlang thought that this Horse Posthouse was a slightly popular market. Who knew that there were no decent buildings around it? Instead, there was an ancient monastery next to the posthouse.
Further west were some temporary tents, mostly the encampment of the Imperial Army. There were also the nobles and ministers who had fled with the Emperor and their families.
Mawei Posthouse wasn't big, but it looked like it had seven to eight Mu of land.
Compared to the palace in Chang 'an, this place was very small, but it was still heavily guarded.
A few hundred meters away, they set up roadblocks to prevent people from approaching.
Most of the so-called roadblocks were made of wood with a sharp end. They were put together and put up with the sharp end facing outwards. In this way, they could prevent cavalrymen and soldiers from entering.
There was one a few hundred meters away, and another one thirty meters away from the posthouse. There were even mighty soldiers guarding the entrance of the posthouse!
Every line of defense was guarded by guards, each five to six meters tall. It seemed that flies and mosquitoes could fly in, but it was impossible for rabbits or dogs!
Wang Daniu had the imperial army's ultimatum hanging on his waist, which was equivalent to an access card or pass in the future. Under Wang Daniu's lead, Wu Tianlang successfully entered the front of the posthouse.
Wu Tianlang could tell that Wang Daniu was quite popular. Some of the Imperial Army members even greeted him.
" It seems like you're quite popular," Wu Tianlang said.
Wang Daniu smiled honestly." I've been in the Imperial Army for two years. I should be able to get acquainted with them."”
"Hey, Daniu, I heard that you were transferred to the Crown Prince, right? Why did he come back? Is the mission complete?" When they reached the second checkpoint, a soldier asked Wang Daniu.
"Uh…" Wang Daniu thought for a moment and said,""Don't mention it. Our team was scattered. I followed this brother and escaped from death."
Wang Daniu looked around and whispered to the soldier,"" Brother, don't tell anyone. It's not easy for everyone…"
It seemed that the person was not a cunning person. He smiled and said,"I understand, I understand. Hurry up and return to the team. It's lunchtime.”
Wang Daniu was overjoyed and brought Wu Tianlang to the camp.
"Hey, Big Brother Bull, don't we have to think of a way to sneak into the posthouse? "After all, the situation is so urgent now…" Wu Tianlang couldn't help but ask as he watched Wang Daniu walk into the military camp with smoke rising from the chimneys.
Wang Daniu turned his head and smiled." Brother, as the saying goes, life is all about eating and drinking. We're hungry too. Let's eat first. Besides, we still have to think about it carefully…"
Wu Tianlang was shocked when he heard that. He wondered if this honest-looking Wang Daniu was up to something. He couldn't possibly be thinking of selling him out to Chen Xuanli to get a reward, could he?
When Wu Tianlang recalled how this kid had always wanted to marry his cousin, he could not help but feel his heart pounding.
Wu Tianlang followed behind Wang Daniu and walked towards the camp. The camp was set up between the first and second line of defense of the Mawei Posthouse. It looked like it was only a few dozen meters away from the high walls of the Mawei Posthouse.
Wu Tianlang realized that he did not have any memories of his current body after transmigrating. He did not even have any recollection of his name or hometown. All his memories were from the future. It was still difficult for him to adapt to the current life.
It was said that one had to live in the present. It was good, but one had to meet certain conditions.
They were lucky to have arrived just in time for the military camp's mealtime. Wu Tianlang was curious. He first found out what the military camp had to eat. When it was his turn to line up for food, he realized that the food was exceptionally poor!
A brawny man only got one piece of dough!
Wu Tianlang held the fist-sized dough in his hand and felt his heart break down.
"Is it not enough?" Wang Daniu asked Wu Tianlang as he chewed on the dough. When he asked, he was still very quiet, as if he was afraid that he would spit out the dough crumbs if he spoke.
It wasn't out of politeness, but out of cherishment.
"Brother Bull, I didn't expect your long-awaited lunch to be this kind of dough! He's really too spineless!" Wu Tianlang looked at the dough in his hand and felt like crying.
Wang Daniu smiled." That's not bad! As long as there was food! You don't know, but food is scarce right now, and the Imperial Army is treated better…"
"Just this-and you say that the treatment is very good?”Wu Tianlang was puzzled.
Wang Daniu swallowed a mouthful of dough and said,"You don't seem to remember anything! The soldiers outside the Imperial Army couldn't even eat this! I heard that they ran out of food yesterday and were starving-"
Wang Daniu was a little agitated. As soon as he spoke, he spat out a few crumbs of dough from his mouth. He immediately panicked and quickly closed his mouth, devoutly chewing the food in his mouth.
Wu Tianlang really didn't know what to say. In his impression, the military camp was filled with people who ate meat and drank wine. Who would have thought that the lunch he had been looking forward to for so long would be dough? Moreover, it was so little.
Wu Tianlang lowered his head and looked at the dough in his hand. It was made of wheat and had been ground to be very coarse. Even the bran had not been removed! In the future, if this was considered a raw wheat steamed bun, there would definitely be people who were used to eating fine rice and fine noodles. However, Wu Tianlang really did not want to eat it now.
"Brother Bull, isn't there a dish or something? Didn't horses die in every battle?”Wu Tianlang asked.
Wang Daniu looked at Wu Tianlang in surprise as if he was looking at an alien creature. Did a horse kick your brain? "To be honest, I've fought a battle in the past two years, but I haven't even eaten a horse's hair!”
Wu Tianlang smiled." What's there to eat about horse hair?! Was it that every time there was a war, only people died, not horses?”
"That's not it. I remember that year, when we were sent to the border to defend against the Hu, our leaders who died in battle were all wrapped in horse skin and transported back.”
"Uh, I've heard of it before. It's called returning a corpse wrapped in a horse's leather! However, have you ever thought about it? The horse is still here, but where is the horse meat?”Wu Tianlang was a little puzzled. There were too many things that he needed to understand as a transmigrator!
"Yes, the horse skin is still there, but where is the horse meat? Was there still a need to say? It must have entered the official's stomach!”Wang Daniu said in a low voice," We can't talk about the Emperor. The Emperor is the Son of Heaven. Even if there is only one mouthful of food in the world, it has to be given to the Emperor. But what are those princes and ministers who came out eating now? There's still wine and meat…"
"Wine and meat? There must be a story!" Wu Tianlang nodded.
Wang Daniu looked at the direction of the wind and said," It's fine now. It's the east wind. If the west wind blows, we will be able to smell the fragrance of their wine and meat!”
Wu Tianlang could not help but laugh when he heard Wang Daniu's teasing words.
Then, Wu Tianlang's stomach rumbled.
Wang Daniu smiled." Look, your stomach is protesting. Hurry up and eat the dough! At this time, you don't have to be particular. You'd better make do with it!”
Wu Tianlang stuffed the steamed bun into Wang Daniu's hands. He bent down and held his stomach as he said,""Big Brother Bull, I'm not hungry. I think I have diarrhea!”
"What? Had diarrhea? We didn't eat anything. It's impossible for us to have a stomachache!”Wang Daniu supported Wu Tianlang with concern.
"Maybe-it's the spring water! He's not acclimatized!" Wu Tianlang frowned.
Yes, he was not used to the environment.
One side was human, the other side was water, and there was a gap of more than 1,200 years between them.
