The news of Qi Dong being exiled spread. Only a few people knew that he had been exiled, but not many knew where he had been exiled to. Many people did not know where would be more suitable than Lingnan to be exiled?
In short, this person was no longer in Lu Zhou. Even his family had left with him, making it impossible for those who wanted to find him. With such an example, all the people in charge became obedient.
When Zhang Xiaobao saw that things were on track, he and Wang Juan led the 56 members of the No. 0 protection team to train. This time, the place they chose was a little far from the state capital. They were going to enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains to hunt for prey. The most important thing was to train the guards to fight in the jungle. Zhang Xiaobao was personally in charge of this.
Although Wang Juan was trained in martial arts, she was not as good as Zhang Xiaobao when it came to fighting in the jungle. Zhang Xiaobao had learned a thing or two in prison when he was in China. When he was abroad, he specially found a place with a lot of jungles to train hard. The instructors he hired were all people from the special forces. There were people from various countries, and each country had its own characteristics.
This was especially true when they entered Africa, which was still in turmoil. Some of those people had even lived in the jungle since they were young. This allowed Zhang Xiaobao to learn a lot, even though he was not as good as the experts who had lived in the jungle for most of their lives.
With such a good thing happening, Li Xun also came to join in the fun. When he knew that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were going to bring people to the mountains, he deliberately prepared his backpack, which was filled with the things he used to train in the wilderness. He also made sufficient preparations for the 50 guards he was going to bring this time. Each of them had a backpack.
However, when he met up with Zhang Xiaobao and the others at the entrance, he found that they did not have any backpacks at all. They were wearing different clothes, which were yellow and green. There were many pockets on their bodies, and there were some things stuffed in them. It did not look like much, and each of them was holding a black machete in their hands.
There was nothing else, not to mention that he was carrying a crossbow.
"Xiao Bao, that's not right. Where's the backpack? Why didn't you prepare it? Don't you have to organize everything in advance to survive in the wilderness? What are you going to eat when the time comes? "
Li Xun asked Zhang Xiaobao.
"Who said that we have to prepare everything in advance to survive in the wild? If I give you time to prepare, you can do it. If you don't have time, where will you go to prepare? Just like that, we put on the leg bindings and set off. We have to hurry all the way. This place is three hundred and twenty li away from the mountain. The requirement is that we reach it in three days and two nights, which is thirty hours. Young Master Li, when you can't run anymore, you can ride with me and Cuckoo. "
Zhang Xiaobao began to put on the leg bindings. Li Xun didn't say anything. He waved to the people behind him, and the guards of the Wang Mansion also began to put on the leg bindings. Li Xun also trained them normally, learning from Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. The fifty people who were selected listened to the distance and estimated the time. They felt that this was an impossible task.
After the leg bindings were done, the people of the protection team put their swords behind their backs, warmed up their legs a little, and stood in two rows to start running. Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan, and Li Xun followed behind the fifty-six people. There were more than ten horses beside them, and they also ran with them. Li Xun's guards were at the back, so that the three people in the middle would not be in danger.
This time, Li Xun also understood. It seemed to be different from the survival in the wild in the past. When he was running, he could still keep up at the beginning, but he didn't dare to speak. He adjusted his breathing and pace using the method he learned from Zhang Xiaobao.
This kind of speed was acceptable for adults, but it was a little difficult for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. The two of them used a quarter of an hour to run nearly seven miles. They left the team and jumped on their horses. This kind of speed was too slow for adults. They ran more than three kilometers in fifteen minutes.
However, for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, this was already the limit. Even if the two of them had been training very seriously and constantly improving themselves, they couldn't run further, let alone reduce their speed to less than three minutes per kilometer. They couldn't even vomit blood.
Moreover, they could only persist for such a long distance, and it was on the road that had been repaired. This had already frightened Li Xun. He followed the team's speed, but he couldn't continue after running for three miles. He sat on the horse at the side and panted. He regretted carrying a backpack. The things inside were very heavy.
The guards of the Prince's Mansion were not relaxed either. Not only did they carry backpacks, but they also carried knives and crossbows. It was very heavy. However, the people of the Sprout Protection Team could persist. They usually had to carry weights during their training. Now that they didn't carry weights, it was naturally not so tiring to run.
"Slow down. Don't run so fast. I'll let you run for a quarter of an hour to feel comfortable without weights. Do you really think you can keep running? You can run seven miles in a quarter of an hour, twenty-eight miles in two hours. Can you run one hundred and forty miles in ten hours? Today, you have to run for fourteen hours, one hundred miles. Adjust yourselves. Rest in the middle is also included. "
Wang Juan, who was on the horse, saw that the people of the Sprout Protection Team were in a frenzy. They were preparing to compete with the Prince's Mansion's guards on foot. She quickly shouted for them to slow down. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to do anything else after running for two hours at this speed.
Wang Juan knew in her heart that one hundred miles in fourteen hours was not a lot. When she looked at historical materials in the past, the People's Liberation Army's fastest forced march could run one hundred miles in fourteen hours. They also had to carry heavy weapons and ammunition with them. They could go into battle after a little rest. They were inhuman existences. It was also at that time that she decided to enter the military academy.
This time, it was three hundred and twenty miles. In fact, it was similar to the three hundred and forty-five miles in the other world. In two and a half days, they should be able to carry three days' worth of food, a knife, rope, and salt that didn't take up much weight. It should be very easy.
The people of the Sprout Protection Team were used to the doctrine that military orders were absolute. When they heard the young lady's words, they immediately began to adjust themselves. The Prince's Mansion's guards had been suppressed just now. Now that there was a chance, they rushed up and ran in front of the Sprout Protection Team.
Li Xun originally wanted them to slow down. But after thinking for a while, he felt that it was better to let them run. When they couldn't run anymore, he would take care of them properly in case it happened again in the future.

"Come on, come on, hurry up, overtake their boat. Overtake one more boat. There are more in front."
In the canal from Chuzhou to Hangzhou, a boat with full sail was moving fast all the way. Perhaps it felt that this speed was not fast enough. The wheels on both sides of the boat were also rotating. At the same time, the back of the boat turned over at the same time.
Xin Er stood at the bow of the boat and shouted excitedly. The guards next to her didn't know what "come on" meant. When they heard her shout, they asked curiously, "Young lady, what do you mean by come on?"
"Don't you know how to come on? Xiao Bao and Cuckoo sometimes shout like this. The propeller at the back needs to be turned like an axle. It needs some oil, otherwise it won't be able to turn. So you have to come on. "
Xin Er explained to the guards seriously. At this time, the boat overtook another boat, which made the people on the boats look sideways. They didn't know where the boat came from. It was so fast. When they saw the rice seedlings on the flag, they knew that it was a boat from Between the Clouds and the Water, the kind that could easily travel the sea.
The human-powered propeller below had been working for six hours, but it was still not broken. The things made by the Ministry of Works were indeed better than those made by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's family. The ones made by the Zhang family usually didn't dare to use, as they had a backup plan. Usually, it was good enough to guarantee that they could keep the propeller running for two hours.
Although the propeller was not as fast as the one that burned diesel, or rather, it couldn't be compared at all. The speed of rotation was slow, and it didn't work even if lever was used. However, for a boat at this time, it had some effect if the sail and wheels were used together.
Today, there was a good wind, so they could sail at full speed. Xin Er wanted to reach the destination early, and the old man also wanted to see how it looked like when the boat was at full speed. The wheels on both sides started to rotate, and the propeller below also started to rotate.
The boat overtook all the way like this. Some boats were not convinced, so they used both the sail and the oars to compete, but they were left behind even more.
"Quick, quick, there are two more boats. They are overtaking them too." Her clothes fluttered in the wind. Xin 'er felt very happy today. She jumped and screamed, scaring the people who were protecting her.
The two boats didn't seem to want to be overtaken, so they also rowed with all their might. However, the distance between the two boats was constantly closing. After a while, the boat caught up to the tail of one of the boats. No one knew what the people on the two boats were thinking, but suddenly, the boat in front of them started to turn to the side and slow down.
If the boat still followed the original route, it would definitely hit the side of the boat. Even if it was an ordinary boat now, it couldn't change the direction. Even if the sails were lowered and all the oars were leveled, it would still be useless.
The old man stood on the deck and scolded, "Whose boat is so arrogant? You want to risk your life? Lower the sails, stop the propellers, reverse the two wheels, and put up a stick. "
Following the old man's order, the sails quickly lowered, and the propellers behind also stopped. The people on both sides of the boat began to struggle to stop the pedals under their feet. Then, they began to reverse the pedals. The axles of the wheels on both sides of the boat made a squeaking sound. A few holes on the first floor of the boat were pulled open, and a thick piece of wood stretched out from the holes.
The old man took out his clairvoyance and looked at the boat in front of him. He wanted to know who was on the boat, but he couldn't see it from the stern. Even if the boat in front of him turned a little and made preparations to intercept, he still couldn't see the front deck.
The ship finally slowed down as its two wheels reversed. However, it did not completely stop, let alone reverse. Just as it was about to collide with the ship, the ship suddenly reversed its direction and accelerated again, leaving the ship behind.
The old man now understood that the people on the boat deliberately made such movements to scare people. Thinking of this, he became angrier and ordered, "Chase after them. If they slow down again, just hit them directly."
