Spring came as soon as it left. The weather was getting warmer, and Bai Ziyang continued on his journey. Half a month later, he rode to Jin Ling City, changed his clothes, and bought some dry rations.
Bai Ziyang had also entrusted the red pony to a merchant who was heading north to the grasslands. The merchant had given him a certain amount of gold and asked him to bring the red pony to the grasslands and set it free. Bai Ziyang was not being pretentious. The red pony was just a name, but it was actually an old horse. It was getting old and could no longer walk.
After following Bai Ziyang for two years, it had gained some spirituality. Bai Ziyang did this because he couldn't bear to see it die of exhaustion.
Bai Ziyang immediately paid for a carriage and hired a coachman. He took the dry rations and luggage and drove the carriage on its way. On the way, he met a group of escorts. The coachman found the escorts for safety and wanted to go with them. The escorts saw a scholar in the carriage and kindly agreed. However, at first, they were a little wary of Bai Ziyang and Bai Ziyang.
The coachman was a skinny old man. He smiled at Bai Ziyang, revealing his black teeth."Master Bai, they've already set off. Shall we follow them?”
"Just follow me!" Bai Ziyang said.”
The coachman raised his horsewhip, and the carriage started to spin. Amidst the shouts of the escorts, Bai Ziyang sat in the wobbly carriage and headed north.
In this era, the wheels of the carriage were made of wood, which was neither smooth nor shock-absorbing. It was fine in Jinling City, but after leaving Jinling City, the road was full of bumps and hollows. It was as if one's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were going to be knocked out. Bai Ziyang only sat there for two hours before he couldn't take it anymore. He rolled over to the roof of the car to bask in the sun.
The journey was peaceful.
From Jinling to the capital, the escorts were familiar with the roads. The roads had been tidied up, and there was not a single person who stopped them. Bai Ziyang did not know that all of this was his credit.
Master Bai was heading south from the north. He had killed many bandits on the way, and 90% of them had been killed.
When they arrived at Shandong, the escort leader found Bai Ziyang and said,""Young master, the world is not peaceful now. The south is still fine, but we are not far from Liaodong now, so we have to be extra careful. The Tartars were eyeing outside the pass, and the Liaodong border was the place where the Tartars plundered.”
"I'll be extra careful!" Bai Ziyang smiled.”
The escort leader was helpless against this scholar. It was unknown if he had listened to him or if he was perfunctory. He advised,"Young Master, it's better for you to enter the carriage. If you encounter a strong person, you can block the arrows.”
Bai Ziyang did not want to waste his goodwill, so he entered the carriage to rest.
After walking for half a day, the escort team stopped by a small stream. They sent a few people to guard outside while the rest began to rest.
Bai Ziyang had just lifted the curtain when he saw a few guards on duty outside running over, panting." Escort leader, the Tartars…the Tartars are here!”
The escort leader, who was eating with an iron bowl, was stunned."Tartars? What Tartars?" Not long ago, he had reminded Bai Ziyang, but he had not reacted in time. Suddenly, he was so shocked that his bowl fell to the ground."The Tartars have attacked the capital?"
"They're coming!" The waiter nodded. They were snatching food and women from the village ahead!”
"What about the imperial court?" the escort leader asked in disbelief. Why did the Tartars attack?"
"Stop eating and quickly put out the fire! Disperse the smoke, don't let the Tartars find us!”
He stood up and instructed his subordinates,"Quickly push the goods into the forest, quick, quick! Be very careful, put the horses on the bridles, and don't let them make any noise!”
After hearing the news of the Tartars coming, he was so scared that his face turned pale. He urged his subordinates to pull the carriages and horses into the forest to hide.
When he saw Bai Ziyang get off the carriage and look around in a daze, he panicked."You scholar, you're still wandering around. The Tartars outside are already coming, why aren't you hiding in the forest?”
"Come into the forest quickly!" the escort leader said anxiously. We can't let the Tartars see any traces, or we'll all die!”
Bai Ziyang followed his instructions and helped the coachman cover the carriage with leaves. He then asked the escort leader in amusement,""On the way, I heard from the brothers in the escort agency that the escort leader is skilled in martial arts. Why is he afraid of these Tartars?”
"Speak softly!" the escort leader said in a low voice. These Tartars come and go like the wind. I won't be afraid if I meet them alone. Even if I meet two or three of them, I won't have a problem. But if there are more of them, I have to run away. Otherwise, I'll have to see the King of Hell!”
Bai Ziyang had wanted to go out of seclusion and go crazy, so he asked,"Why?"
The escort leader explained," These Tartars have been riding horses and hunting since they were young. They are skilled in archery and horse riding, and their cooperation is also very tacit. When they fight, they are not afraid of death. It is very difficult for ordinary Jianghu people to deal with them."”
When Bai Ziyang heard this, he had a little understanding of the Manchu Qing outside the Great Wall. He made up his mind and replied,""Oh? So that's how it is?" Bai Zi waved his hand, and the Crystal Feather Bone Fan appeared in his hand. He smiled and said,"Do you know what this is?"
