Under Oak's petty care, they found a long-distance carriage with food and accommodation. They spent a long time and talkatively, and worked hard to cut the travel expenses into three gold coins per person.

Oak, who manages finance, knows that he does not have the ability to open source, so he focuses on saving money.

If it weren't for the military's material personnel to allocate and replenish them nearby, Oak would probably instigate Cons to find the logistics department to see if he could take the ride.

On the way, during a chat with the two coachmen, Cons learned that Wenbei Province was the most important province in the northwest of the empire, namely the desert grassland nomadic countries adjacent to the Emirates of Berat, the Chengsi Khanate, and the Feimuqi Allied Powers.

However, the empire is really weird. Apart from being economically complementary to the empire, the Wilt Free Alliance, which is in the southeast of the empire, did not go to war with other countries around it.

Of course, due to different national habits, friction is inevitable, but there has never been a war, and it is not like the Wilt Free Alliance. There was a war of millions after a year or two.

Since it is the northwest area, the landform is mostly wasteland, the crop harvest is pitifully low, and there is not much animal husbandry, and the taxes collected are not enough to maintain the salary of government personnel, which makes the imperial finances pay a large sum of money every year to maintain the operation of the government and the garrison.

And I don’t know whether it was the good intention of the imperial cabinet or the good luck of the enfeoffed personnel, no officer or nobleman was enfeoffed in this province with poor materials.

It took seventeen or eighteen days to finally enter the Wenbei Provincial Government. This was directly under the empire. With the help of the empire's large amount of funds, urban construction is no different from other provinces. All the government offices of the provincial government have been built to be tall and majestic.

The only difference is that the people's skin is darker, and most of them are dressed as nomadic peoples, and even three-year-old children can ride horses and go shopping. At the same time, both men and women have weapons on them, and they all drink big bowls and eat meat in big mouthfuls, which made both Letter and Lei Kai envious.

Seeing these, Cons couldn't help but feel that it is a city on the border of the empire, and the people are extremely fierce.

Cons knew that the division headquarters of the 5th Division of the 20th Army was stationed here, and he did not stay in the provincial capital. The logistics officer of the brigade with the rank of second lieutenant like him was not qualified to report to the division headquarters at all.

The carriage continued to move forward. After leaving the provincial government, the stone-paved road immediately turned into a dirt road. It was galloping on the dry road, and the dust was flying, making people unable to hide in the car and dare not show their heads.

After five or six days of travel, Cons and his party set out on the stone road again and entered Chengqiu County, which was directly led by the empire.

The Fifth Brigade of the Fifth Division was stationed here, and Cons was still not qualified to report here. He just took a short rest in the county government and hurriedly rushed to the road.

Time is a bit tight, and it will be bad if you don’t report before the limited time and you will be punished.

The road after leaving the county government made Cons and others miserable, and the two coachmen felt even more sorry for the loss of their cars. There was no flat section of the dirt road at all, all of which were bumpy, and from time to time there were stones that made the car jump up suddenly.

Finally, when the bones were almost broken, and it was two days before September 15th, Cons finally arrived at Sishi County, which was the garrison of the Fifth Regiment of the Fifth Brigade of the Fifth Division.

The two guards stopped the gray-headed Cons. If they hadn't seen Cons' military uniform, the guards would have been fist-and-footed for a long time.

After carefully checking Cons' military status and registration files, the guards were allowed to leave, but Cons' five logistics soldiers were blocked. The guards said that they were not regular soldiers and could not enter.

In fact, it’s not that they are dressed in a shabby manner? Cons’s five logistics soldiers are still wearing their old clothes as officials slaves. They are also rushing to travel these days, not to mention dust, but also extremely depressed and tired. The most important thing about appearance has lost its luster, let alone other people.

The wing leader of the Fifth United did not meet Cons, but a major wing staff officer met Cons. Originally, the major looked like he was doing his job, but after seeing Cons's registration documents, he couldn't help but look at Cons with a weird look, then squeezed out a smile on his face, and quickly helped Cons complete the registration procedures.

"Hey, Lieutenant Cons, your fifth brigade is stationed in Kulong Town to the west. It will take at least two days to go there. Now that you have already reported, you don't have to hurry up. You can rest at the county hotel first and hold a welcome meeting for you tonight." The major said while giving out another certificate.

"Welcome? No, right?" Cons was a little confused.

As a little officer as myself, there is no need to hold a welcome meeting so grandly, right?

"Hey, I want it, I want it. Lieutenant Cons came to serve in this corps from the imperial capital. The corps chief would welcome him no matter how much. Everyone is his own people, so you have no need to be polite." The major was polite and recruited a guard in.

The major asked, "Did Lieutenant Cons come alone?"

"Oh, I brought five personal guards." Cons responded casually.

Hearing this, the major's brows twitched slightly, and then ordered the guards to book a six-question suite at the hotel.

Only then did Cons understand why the major asked someone to come in.

Is the officer actually arranged to stay in the hotel? Is there no barracks at the wing station?

Although Cons thought it was strange, he knew that he was a newcomer and didn't say anything.

Only after leaving the gate did Cons have time to observe the county government.

Of course, the ground here cannot be a whole piece of stone slab, but it is paved with pebbles. Although it is not flat, it is much better than the muddy ground.

Although the shops around are not as good as those in the province and county, there are dozens of them, but they are not as crowded as those in the province and county, or they can be said to be a bit strangely deserted, with only a few people walking on the street.

The major who accompanied him noticed Cons' attention and quickly explained: "Because our land is vast and few people, and most of the people make a living by graze, the county government will only become lively during the market every month, and it will be so deserted at other times."

While speaking, the major looked at the five personal guards brought by Cons carefully. His eyes were so fierce that he could see the abilities of these five people and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

After watching Cons leave with the guards, the major immediately ran into the county government and came to a room decorated in magnificently and filled with antique decorations.

In the seat of Li Jian, there was an obese middle-aged man enjoying the massage of two beauties on her.

This middle-aged man with a fat brain is the master of Sishi County and the lieutenant colonel captain of the Fifth Regiment.

The captain glanced at the major and said casually: "What? Have you dealt with the logistics officer of the second lieutenant brigade? I don't know what the logistics department of the brigade was thinking, but he sent someone without saying hello. Is it the chief of the brigade?"

"Sir, he was not transferred from the brigade." The major said respectfully, and handed over Cons's registration certificate.

The corps leader signaled a woman to take the thing over, and while unfolding it, he said, "It's not from the brigade, is it from the division?"

After seeing the seal, he immediately stood up and exclaimed: "Ah? It was actually a registration order issued by the Military Command?"

The major immediately gave a clever wink at the two beauties, and the two beauties also quickly retreated.

They know very well what trouble they will cause when they know what they shouldn't know.

"Damn it! A little lieutenant was actually arranged by the Military Command? How is this possible? Usually the Military Command is in charge, and the headquarters is a unit above the division! What is the origin of this kid?" The corps leader said anxiously.

The major shook his head and said, "What's wrong, but it is absolutely not easy to get the military command to issue a certificate for a second lieutenant, and his military qualifications are issued by the military command."

"Also, he brought five personal guards, one was obviously a housekeeper, one was a personal servant, one was a errand, and two were bodyguards. They were completely standard configurations for children of wealthy families when traveling. It should be confirmed that his identity was either rich or noble. When his subordinate was a second lieutenant, he didn't dare to use personal guards at all. That little salary was not enough for his own expenses, let alone burdening so many people."

The corps captain patted his forehead: "It's either rich or noble? We don't care whether he is a rich man! Rarente? I haven't heard of this surname, but there are so many nobles in the empire, so we, the lower-level personnel, don't know at all. What are you saying that such a lieutenant with great background, ran to the lower-level garrison in our border area to serve? Could it be that we are here to check our details?"

Seeing that the corps captain was a little panicked, the major couldn't help but comfort him: "Sir, this matter seems to be very big, but in the eyes of the great figures in the imperial army, it is not as important as their cat's pregnancy, and the brigade divisions and corps have benefited and will not cause trouble for us at all.

"According to the subordinates, the second lieutenant is either a down-and-out household with some connections. He ran here to avoid his enemies, or he was a noble young man, who came here to seek excitement."

The captain of the regiment nodded: "Well, if it is the first type, just treat it well and ignore it. If it is the second type, we have to see how we can pull him into the water."

The major hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, my subordinates had held a welcome meeting for him in the name of the corps."

"Okay, call the corps chief to hold a welcome meeting for him in the evening, so let's get along with him first." The corps captain nodded and said this, and suddenly said viciously: "If he doesn't know the truth, then destroy him! We brothers who have no backing have fought for many years and finally climbed to this position. Now we finally start to enjoy our happiness. We must not let him, a little bastard, be ruined!"

"Of course!" The major's face suddenly became ferocious.

In the evening, Cons was pulled to the most luxurious restaurant in the county to drink.

Here, Cons met all the chief officers of the wing headquarters, but what made Cons feel strange was that few of these chief officers were not fat, especially the wing leader and the wing logistics officer, who were more like nouveau riche than soldiers.

What surprised Cons was that all five captains attended the welcome meeting. Could it be that the brigade headquarters was stationed in the county town?

After a while the welcome party began, Cons found that several chief officers began to inquire about his situation. Of course, Cons answered truthfully.

After getting the truth, the enthusiasm of the chief officials dropped significantly. In just a while, the chief officials threw Cons aside and drank it happily, and then left the table, shifting the position to the brothel next to them.

Of course, there is no share of the protagonist Cons.

The next morning, a team leader with the order of the wing logistics commander appeared in front of Cons, threw several carriages and several horses full of supplies to Cons, and ordered Cons to set off immediately to the brigade's headquarters, and then he turned around and left without even waiting for a reply.

Kons, who knew that he was not familiar with the place, searched for a while before finding his immediate boss, the fifth captain who stayed overnight in the brothel.

"What? Didn't you ask you to escort supplies back to your base? Why haven't you set off yet?" The fifth captain, who was not dressed, sleepy and drunk, looked unhappy.

When Cons asked him to send guards to accompany him, he was interrupted by the captain's rough wave: "Tell you this rookie! Under the wise leadership of our team leader, the security of the entire Sishi County is very good! It is absolutely, well, it is definitely the one who never closes the door at night, does not pick up the leftovers on the road, is calm and there is no danger, so there is no need to send guards to guard! Our guard department is working hard enough, and they still need to sleep in the open air, and they should also be a little conscience?

"Besides, don't you have five personal guards? There is enough manpower, so you can get on the road as soon as possible. But you have to remember that if there is anything wrong on the road, as long as something happens, this team leader will cause trouble for you. Don't blame me for not giving you a favor and deal with your military law! Okay, go quickly, this team leader will have to rest."

As he said that, he muttered and didn't know what to curse, he slammed the door and closed it.

Cons, who felt that those guys were too realistic, had to order five subordinates to string the carriage and horses together and drive it himself.

This is also impossible. These five subordinates can’t ride horses at all, let alone ride horse carriages.

However, when leaving the city gate, I still got the specific direction of Kulong Town from the guards.

The convoy left the county town and walked west not far, the road completely disappeared, and there was a wilderness around him, so he could only move in the general direction.
Chapter completed!
