    But he was obviously wearing such a thick cotton coat, it was impossible to feel anything at all.

    That warm and oppressive feeling was clearly his illusion.

    The moment before the two left the soldier card, Rong Zhuo caught a glimpse of two other soldiers who came with horses out of the corner of his eyes.

    He subconsciously turned his head to look at Yu Jingdu, trying to remind the other soldier that he was not without extra horses, did he make a mistake?

    However, they were too close, and when he turned around, Yu Jingdu bowed his head slightly, and the tip of his nose was caught off guard by the corner of Yu Jingdu's lips.

    Both of them were startled, one turned his head, and the other coughed uncomfortably.

    "Do you want to say that there are still extra horses?" Yu Jingdu asked him after a while.

    "Yeah." Rong Zhuo replied absentmindedly, still thinking about the soft touch on the corner of Yu Jingdu's lips just now.

    He thought to himself, Yu Jingdu is such a cold and hard person, why is his mouth so soft?

    "I want to ride with you." Yu Jingdu whispered in his ear, "This way you don't have to worry about running for your life."

    Rong Zhuo didn't expect that he still remembered the incident when he fell a horse in the Yuzhou camp yesterday.

    "Will we be in danger?" Rong Zhuo asked him.

    "No." Yu Jingdu said, "With me, I wouldn't."

    His words were firm and firm, and the restless emotions in Rong Zhuo's heart gradually calmed down a lot.

    The two rode their horses for about a quarter of an hour before arriving at the foot of a mountain.

    Yu Jingdu slowed down and turned his horse to a path.

    There should not be many people walking on the trail on weekdays. The low branches almost blocked the road, and the two had to bend forward on horseback.

    "Where are we going?" Rong Zhuo asked him in a low voice.

    "Didn't I tell you to watch the fun?" Yu Jingdu said, "Find a place with good terrain to see clearly."

    Most of his body is now lying on Rong Zhuo's back, and when he speaks, he is close to Rong Zhuo's ear, causing the other party to breathe quickly and chaotically. For a moment, Rong Zhuo couldn't help but suspect that he might be suffocating.

    At first, it felt uncomfortable, too oppressive.

    But gradually, Rong Zhuo got used to this warm and reliable feeling.

    As if everything in the outside world was isolated by this warm and generous chest, he didn't have to think about anything, as long as he could rely on the other party wholeheartedly.

    After a while, the eyes suddenly opened up, and the two of them were finally able to straighten their bodies.

    The back was suddenly empty, causing Rong Zhuo to feel a little lost.

    "Dismount." Yu Jingdu jumped off the horse first, followed by Rong Zhuo.

    Yu Jingdu tied his horse to a tree beside the road and led Rong Zhuo up the mountain road.

    The field of vision is not very wide, so Rong Zhuo was quite curious along the way, wondering where Yu Jingdu wanted to take him.

    Until the two of them turned a corner on the mountain road, there was a platform about 10 feet square in front of them, just enough to accommodate the two of them. There are stones and trees in front of the platform, so the two of them can hide well as long as they bend over slightly.

    Standing on the platform and looking down, you can have a panoramic view of the road leading to the private army camp at the foot of the mountain.

    If you look closely, you will find that there are many people ambushed on the mountain roads on both sides.

    Although these people did not wear the uniforms of the Yuzhou battalion, Rong Zhuo knew that they were the personal soldiers brought by Vice-General Liu.

    "This is the place where the bandits on Dawen Mountain posted their guards." Yu Jingdu said to Rong Zhuo.

    Rong Zhuo suddenly realized, and then carefully looked at the stone in front of him, it seemed that someone moved here deliberately.

    Therefore, the low branches on the path just now may have been deliberately not pruned and allowed to grow, in order to hide them here.

    "Will they pass by here?" Rong Zhuo asked Yu Jingdu.

    "There is a man named Lu Sheng in the private army. He is a big official. He used to be a big boss on Dawen Mountain. Although he broke up with the bandits here, his friendship is still there." Yu Jingdu He explained to him: "The rations escorted by the private army battalion do not dare to take the official road again, for fear of attracting attention, so just walking here can get the protection of the bandits. As tolls, they will leave some rations for the bandits every time."

    Therefore, the food and salaries they escort will definitely pass through this road.

    "When the fight starts, what if the bandits can't help themselves?" Rong Zhuo asked him.

    "The bandits help either for food or for friendship." Yu Jingdu said: "We can also give them the toll from the private army camp. As for friendship... After paying the private army camp, I will keep Lu Sheng one. Fate is."

    "Take ten thousand steps back, even if they really can't hold their breath, it's a big deal to take them all in one pot." Yu Jingdu said.

    The people that Vice-General Liu picked were all elites. Those bandits who squatted on the mountain all day would be okay to bluff the common people.

    And Yu Jingdu didn't tell Rong Zhuo that, in order to make sure nothing went wrong, he asked Vice-General Liu to transfer the people from another nearby army card last night and hid nearby, so he didn't worry about the bandits on the mountain at all. The reason why he asked people to say hello in advance last night was because he was afraid that they would be messed up.

    "Here!" Rong Zhuo's eyes suddenly lit up, looking towards the end of the mountain road.

    I saw a grain transport team slowly appearing there. The team kept entering the field of vision, getting longer and longer, and it was almost impossible to forget it at a glance.

    "So much?" Rong Zhuo asked in surprise.

    "It's not too much." Yu Jingdu said lightly: "According to their previous habit, every time they send three months' worth of food, it is estimated that a food transport team of this size will have to send it several times. What you see, It is estimated that even half a month's food for the private army may not be enough."

    "It's no wonder that the bandits don't make their minds up. With so much grain, dozens of bandits can get enough food for a long time in a cart." Rong Zhuo hid behind the stone and looked out, "It's strange that they have such a spectacular grain transport team. Even if you don’t follow the official road, it’s enough to attract attention, right? The private army has been established for so long, and the local government really didn’t notice it?”

    Yu Jingdu turned his head and glanced at him, "Do you know why most of the disaster relief money and grain allocated to Yuzhou were allocated from other prefectures and counties instead of being shipped directly from the capital?"
