The courier arrived at this courier station a month later than Zhao Changlong. In the words of the present world, he was considered to have arrived here by air.
The original post station official was found guilty by his superior and was arrested. However, that post station official was a good friend of Zhao Changlong. He was the one who recruited Zhao Changlong into the post station. Therefore, Zhao Changlong knew the whole story and knew that the current post station official was the trusted aide of his superior. He could not escape from the punishment.
Thus, from the moment the post station official arrived at the post station, he had been at odds with Zhao Changlong and the others. There were countless conflicts of all sizes, but they were not to the extent that they could use this as an excuse to get rid of Zhao Changlong. Facing the common enemy of the post station official, Zhao Changlong and the trusted aides of the former post station official were still rather united. They had never given the post station official a good opportunity.
Would there be a chance this time?
"Keep an eye on Zhao Changlong and see where he got his immortal wavy face from. I don't believe it. Since it smells like beef, it must be made with beef. Just because he didn't see beef doesn't mean he didn't kill the cow.”
The post station official said fiercely, his expression uncertain.
"Humph! What gods and ghosts? I think they're all pretending to be gods and ghosts.”
He couldn't stop preparing his backup plan. The posthouse official told himself that if Zhao Chang Long were to cause trouble again while pretending to be mysterious, he would see how he would catch him.
Let's see if your Granddad Deity's token is useful or my methods are more powerful.
Humph!

Two days later, it was Zhao Chang Long's turn to lead the team. He led six horse grooms from Team A to escort three large carts to Daizhou.
As a relay station, it usually had two main functions. One was to provide food and lodging for officials on business trips, and the other was to deliver official documents and letters. The latter was divided into several types, the most urgent of which was called urgent foot delivery. It stipulated that they had to rush 400 roads a day, which was a hard job. If the road was flat and the weather was fine, as long as there was plenty of horse power along the way, there was still a guarantee. If they were on the mountain road or encountered heavy rain and snow, they would be punished for missing the time. If it was light, they would be beaten. If it was serious, they would even be beheaded. Fortunately, there were not many military affairs in this area in the past two years. Most of the official documents and letters were delivered by horse, so the time requirement was not so high.
However, apart from the role of a courier station, Guangwu Posthouse also served as a delivery station, transporting military and official supplies, and sometimes escorting prisoners. Last time when Slave Jian came, Team B happened to be delivering goods to Daizhou. Today, it was Zhao Changlong's turn.
The delivery duty did not have such a strict time requirement. After all, it was a big cart. In this day and age, even if the cart was pulled by horses, it would not be fast. It was already a blessing from the heavens to be able to reach the next delivery office in two days.
In fact, when there was no military intelligence, Guangwu Posthouse would spend more time and manpower on the delivery.
After taking on this errand, Zhao Changlong was a little worried. What about the Transdimensional Delivery Box?
Put it in the relay station?
He was worried!
As soon as the post station official returned, Zhao Chang Long immediately felt a strong sense of danger. This white-bearded Granddad Deity's words were enough to fool the horse coachmen of the post station. However, the same words must have already reached the ears of the posthouse official. Although he did not reprimand him in public, his gaze did not look right. It meant," You can continue to fool me. Let's see when I'll teach you a lesson!"”
These days, the posthouse officials would definitely stay at the posthouse. What if they sabotaged it and burned the chest?
He had to be careful! Be extra careful!
I'll compensate you with three taels of silver later. What else can you say?
She couldn't even find a place to cry.
He was extremely worried!
Anyway, it was a big car, so it was better to bring it along.
Zhao Changlong thought for a moment and hid the two extra helmets under the bed. He also loaded the wooden box into the car and tied it up with a rope.
As for the helmet and the stab-resistant suit, they were already put on since they were not heavy and did not consume any horsepower.
To get to Daizhou, one had to walk 18 miles east along the valley before reaching the northernmost gate of Yanmen Pass. All the way, they followed a mountain stream that had almost no water. The mountain road gradually became gentle. At the beginning, one could still ride a horse at full speed. When they reached the pass, even a strong horse could only walk slowly.
There were actually several passes in Yanmen Pass. The first pass in the north was called Yanmen Stronghold. It was tall and majestic, and the entrance was very small, only enough for a large cart to pass through. The slope after passing Yanmen Stronghold was even steeper than before the pass. There were low houses on both sides of the road. In fact, Yanmen Stronghold referred to this stockade surrounded by tall city walls, which was equivalent to a large barbican.
They walked up another mile and passed through the sparse villages. The real Great Wall was on the ridge behind them. This section of the Great Wall was divided into two parallel layers, north and south, more than 100 meters apart. The two gates of the Great Wall were called Dili Gate and Tianxian Gate respectively. The Thousand Households of Yanmen Pass were stationed on the tower between the two gates. Standing on the top of the tower and looking down, the inside and outside of the pass could be seen at a glance.
After passing the Great Wall, there was another pass halfway up the mountain two miles south. It was called Fuge Stronghold, but because this pass faced inward, the walls and facilities on the side were much smaller.
There were four walls in the entire Yanmen Pass. The two in the middle were the real Great Wall. Although the two outside were not the Great Wall, they were not shorter than the Great Wall due to the mountain terrain. They were very easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Yanmen Pass was located in the inner Great Wall, and it was not the first checkpoint facing the enemies in the north. If they wanted to get close to Yanmen Pass, the enemies would have to bypass or break through the outer Great Wall first.
