"Dang! Dang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

A fierce sword duel is going on in the school grounds of Hongshan Village.

Qin Hao was holding a long sword, and Chen Hu was holding a broadsword. The former was powerful and powerful, opening and closing, while the latter was superb in swordsmanship and could handle it with ease. For a while, the two were inseparable from each other.

Many sergeants surrounding the school grounds were immersed in it, and many of them cheered to add to the fun.

"Ah!"

Not long after, Qin Hao caught a flaw and slashed out with his sword, knocking Chen Hu's sword away.

The long sword was pressed against Chen Hu's neck, and the competition officially came to an end. Qin Hao won without any surprise.

Picking up the saber, Chen Hu was surprised. There were several gaps in the blade. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "My lord, you are really good at martial arts."

Qin Hao looked at the edge of the curled sword, shook his head and said: "It's just winning with strength, it's nothing."

Chen Hu has been on the battlefield for a long time and has the best say on this. He said: "On the battlefield, most of the fights are based on bravery. Strength is the advantage. It is completely different from the swordsman in the drama. Ten enemies are rare, and killing a hundred people is rare." It's just nonsense and I can't stand it. Even though I have been in battle for a long time, I have never met anyone like you."

"Hahaha" Qin Hao smiled but said nothing.

He knew his own body best. On the surface, his physique looked the same as that of ordinary people, but if he took off his shirt, he could see the looming muscles on his body. There were not many muscles, but they were beautiful, similar to those of people who exercised all year round.

And the explosive power is strong. If the two are not competing in martial arts, but fighting on the battlefield, Qin Hao is absolutely sure to knock out the sword in Chen Hu's hand within three moves, and then cut off the head with one sword. This process will not exceed 30 seconds.

I had to save my hand just now, otherwise the competition would end hastily and it would be meaningless.

Afterwards, Qin Hao put down his sword and planned to return home.

In the past few days, the school grounds of Hongshan Village are being renovated and paved. All the original villagers have been taken away to build a military camp. Now it is under construction. It is very busy. The soldiers are helping. After a hard day, Qin Hao While they were having dinner, they had a duel with Chen Hu to let the soldiers relax.

Now that it's over, it's not convenient for him to stay any longer.

"Sir, please stay." Seeing Qin Hao getting on his horse and about to leave, Chen Hu called out.

"What's wrong?" Qin Hao looked back and asked.

"That's right." Chen Hu twisted his eyebrows and spoke, then stopped.

Looking at his appearance, you can tell that he has something on his mind, and it's written all over his face.

"If you have something to say, tell me quickly. I have to go back to eat." Qin Hao urged in disgust, why would a grown man be so ink?

When urged, Chen Hu immediately said: "Sir, I heard from Han Xian and Zhao Chang that you are going to Yingtian Mansion in a few days. Can you take me with you?"

He, Han Xian, and Zhao Chang were both in charge of the army. They were training the new army these days, and they were very close. They mentioned this matter when they were drinking together at night, and silently recorded it in their hearts. They couldn't sleep for several nights. , Qin Hao came today, and he couldn't help but say it after all. I didn't dare to go back before, but now I have regained some confidence in Qin Hao's underground, and I can no longer suppress it.

"Why?" Qin Hao looked confused.

"There is still an old mother at home, and I want to go back and see her to make sure she is safe. When we received the transfer order, our three brothers went to war with our father, while my mother stayed in her hometown in Penglai, Shandong. After the defeat in the Battle of Hunhe, she was afraid of being implicated. At home, even when I was passing through Shandong during my escape, I didn’t dare to go back and take a look. It’s been eight years now and I don’t know how my mother is doing.”

Chen Hu burst into tears as he spoke, which made Qin Hao couldn't help but be moved. It was human nature to go back to visit relatives, so I would not refuse, so I agreed immediately. However, I was afraid that he would be anxious, so I kindly reminded him: "Although I want to go back, I don't know for sure now."

Then he told him about his previous encounter with the Spanish Amorim: "That means we can set off after Amorim comes back. As for when he will come back, I don't know."

"Thank you, sir." Chen Hu thanked him and told Qin Hao something unexpected: "Don't bother me, sir. I can go back by myself."

"What, you can go back." Qin Hao was shocked by the news, but he quickly calmed down.

Chen Hu said he would probably go back in a small boat.

After he finished speaking, the result was as Qin Hao expected. Chen Hu had been guarding Jiangsu and Zhejiang with his father in his early years. He knew the coastal terrain well. He was the one who led the refugees across the strait to get here.

Seeing that he was full of confidence, Qin Hao asked: "What if we encounter wind and rain, or encounter pirates? Let's not talk about wind and rain, let's talk about these pirates. You also know that the sea has not been peaceful recently, and there are battlefields everywhere. Once you go How it should be encountered.”

Chen Hu knew that the adults asked him because he was concerned about his own safety, but he could say that he didn't take it for granted and had his own way.

His method is also very simple, that is, hide in the water and then swim to another place in the water. He is good at water and does not need to change his breath several times in the middle. He can escape from wind, rain and ships.

In order to prove it, he insisted on letting Qin Hao go to the beach with him to try, but it was getting late and Qin Hao was afraid of being unsafe, so he refused and asked him to try again tomorrow.

"It's a deal!"

After receiving the promise, Chen Hu stopped pestering him, helped Qin Hao mount his horse, and pulled him all the way until he was delivered to the mansion before going back on his own.

Qin Hao also smiled bitterly, but since he had agreed, it was not easy to go back on his word. He was just trying to figure out how to dispel his idea of ​​going back alone.

This road was too dangerous. If he was not careful, he would not be able to return. Then he would cry.

The next day, the two of them took their guards to the sea area near Yantian Village to test the water. Zhuge Xuan happened to be going to Yantian Village to calculate the production of green salt and followed along.

"Sir, look." Chen Hu shouted excitedly in the water. He had been in the sea for almost three hours. During this time, he had tried rolling, deep water, and diving in the water, which fully proved his ability to swim.

He could go back alone.

Zhuge Xuan came over to take a look after handling government affairs. After thinking for a while, he said to Qin Hao: "Why don't you let him try."

"Huh?!"

Qin Hao was surprised when he heard this. He didn't know why Zhuge Xuan, who was cautious in the past, changed his usual behavior today and let Chen Hu take risks. Can't we wait for Amorim to come back before going back? Compared with safety, what's the problem with going back later? Chen Hu doesn't understand, but don't you, Zhuge Xuan, understand it?

Zhuge Xuan seemed to see the anger on Qin Hao's face, and hurriedly explained: "Sir, it's not easy to go to Daming. We can't get the pass needed on the road."

His answer made Qin Hao speechless, forgetting that there was such a thing as a pass.

In Daming, going out is not necessarily an easy thing. Daming law stipulates that anyone who is more than 100 miles away from his place of residence must issue a document from the county government, which records your place of origin, identity, and reason for leaving your hometown. This pass is equivalent to an identity certificate in later generations.

Without this certificate, you will not be able to walk safely on the road. You will be checked every time you pass through a prefecture or county. If you are found, you will be waiting for a prison meal, starting from half a year, and there is no upper limit.

"According to what you said, Chen Hu has to go back?" Qin Hao asked.

Zhuge Xuan nodded.

As a junior general of the Qi family army, Chen Hu still has connections in his hometown, so it is not difficult for him to get the pass.

The principle that it is easy to get things done by local bosses applies everywhere!

"In that case, let him go back to do his job and also explore the way for us." Qin Hao smiled. It was really right to accept Chen Hu.
