Whether it’s mountains or flat land, with occasional small stones, the horses can handle it with ease.

"Okay! Okay!"

Although Gu Heng was a civil servant, he was not a pedantic scholar.

He is a man of both civil and military talents who can lead troops in battle when on horseback and govern the country when on foot.

This is also a true son of aristocratic family, proficient in the six arts of a gentleman, and can switch between the positions of general and minister of the imperial court at will.

Gu Heng had led troops in his youth, so he knew the importance of horseshoes.

"With this, my son will be able to hold a high position in the Northern Dynasty!"

Maybe I can even get a different title.

Gu Heng's eyes flashed with ambition.

He cares about his family, and even if he cannot gain a foothold in the Southern Dynasty, he will never decline.

Even after going to the Northern Dynasties, he was still able to continue to be prominent due to his "military achievements".

That night, a group of knights galloped towards the Northern Dynasty.

Some of these horses have horseshoes, and some don’t!

What Gu Heng wanted was a strong contrast that could be seen with the naked eye.

With such clear examples before him, he didn't need to waste any words in his letter.

…

"Lord You'an, it's been almost a month. Shouldn't we set off now?"

Zheng Mo tried to hold back again and again, but still couldn't hold it back.

That day, he came to ask to see Gu Heng and gave him a subtle reminder.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Gu Heng calculated the distance and agreed readily.

It was spring when I left Beijing. I walked and stopped on the road, stopped and walked again.

It has taken nearly two months.

It is early summer now.

It was still more than half the distance to his place of exile, Luozhou.

If we continue to travel at this speed, it will probably take another two or three months.

By then, it will be around the end of summer or the beginning of autumn.

Hurricane season should be over!

Gu Heng was knowledgeable and had served as the Minister of the Secretariat for many years, so he knew that there was a very terrible natural phenomenon in the southern coastal areas - hurricanes.

Every summer, strong winds blow from the sea.

The strong wind was so powerful that it could overturn houses and destroy farmland.

Even towering trees can be pulled out of the ground.

People, livestock, etc. will also be carried into the sky by the wind.

Such strong winds are also called "hurricanes" (typhoons).

Every time hurricane season comes, coastal states and counties will be affected by disasters, and many officials are frightened by the power of heaven and have to retreat inland to avoid it.

Gu Heng was not afraid of the miasma, snakes, insects, rats and ants in Lingnan, but he also didn't want to be blown into the sky by a hurricane.

If you know there is danger, then avoid it!

This is not cowardice, but a normal tendency to seek good fortune and avoid danger.

"Hey! Good!"

Zheng Mo didn't know what Gu Heng was planning, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his ancestor had finally given in.

Just be willing to keep going!

Zheng Mo really couldn't stand this kind of slow and dragged-out schedule anymore.

However, even though we had already “set off”, the journey was still delayed for three days.

First of all, we need to prepare supplies again.

These days are different from later times. There are not so many convenience stores and supermarkets.

Food, medicinal materials, clothing and other daily necessities need to be prepared in advance.

No one knows whether they will encounter a county town or a post station while traveling.

If you are in the wilderness and there is not enough food, you can only endure it.

With so many people eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, we must make sufficient preparations.

Gu Qingcheng started the large-scale purchasing mode again, sending people to nearby villages, towns, and even the county town to buy all kinds of things.

Meat, eggs, vegetables, seeds, medicinal herbs...

The Gu family was wealthy, and even when they were exiled, they took with them a large cart of copper coins, gold, and silver.

Therefore, Gu Qingcheng was very generous when it came to spending money.

After purchasing enough supplies for two large ox carts, Gu Qingcheng finally announced that the project was over.

At this moment, the guest girl that Gu Yi gave to Gu Qingcheng also arrived.

There were twenty little girls, the oldest was thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest was seven or eight years old, all of them were from the Gu family.

They were servants of the Gu family and private property.

"Sanniang!"

Twenty little girls knelt respectfully in front of Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng took a glance and found that they were all very respectful and not timid children.

"Can you read?"

Gu Qingcheng asked softly.

Seven or eight of the little girls raised their heads and said, "I know a few words!"

Not bad! Gu Qingcheng silently wrote down the words of these literate ladies.

"What other specialties do you have?"

Gu Qingcheng asked casually.

The little girls reported one by one.

This one said, "I know how to sew."

The other said, "I have learned cooking."

Others said, "I learned horse riding and archery from my father and brothers!"

Know martial arts?

Very good.

Gu Qingcheng made a special note of this guest girl.

Then it was the turn of a chubby-looking little girl, and she was very hesitant.

After grunting for a long time, the little girl said embarrassedly, "Slave, slave is a real eater!"

The other little girls couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

Even Gu Qingcheng smiled.

Having a big appetite, to put it nicely, means being able to eat is a blessing, to put it bluntly, means being a glutton.

However, does a big appetite mean big strength?

Gu Qingcheng waved her hand, calling the plump guest girl over, and pointed at the eucalyptus table in front of her, "Can you move it?"

The chubby girl looked about seven or eight years old. With normal strength, she should be able to push objects weighing more than ten kilograms.

"able!"

The chubby girl lifted the solid wood eucalyptus table with one hand without any effort!

ps: It’s the first day of March, please give me the guaranteed monthly ticket!
