197 The First Emperor of the Ages (24)
After eating and drinking like this, they quickly traveled four-fifths of the way, and they had been on the road for ten days, and in another two or three days, they would be able to reach the city closest to the border, Baiyun City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although Baiyun City is a border, because of its unique geographical location, it has gradually become a place where merchants settle down when they trade with the merchants of the Great New Dynasty and the countries of the Western Regions.
A place where people gather, a place where commerce and trade flourish, gradually, the originally desolate and remote Baiyun City has taken on the scene of a big city.
And the closer it is to Baiyun City, the more inns there are for merchants to stay in the hotel.
However, it was very unfortunate that Ning Xiguang and the others came late this time, the inn was actually full, and the rooms were all booked.
Ning Xiguang was a little worried, "What should I do? It's getting dark." Well, this is not the most important thing, but this day is gloomy, there is lightning and thunder, and it is about to rain, so we can't rush at this time, right?"
Spring rain is as precious as oil, and the same applies in this time and space.
It can be said that throughout the winter, there was hardly a drop of rain in the entire Daxin Dynasty, which was naturally better for Ning Xiguang and others who were in a hurry. However, for those people who depend on the sky for food, it is not good news.
However, this is also a normal phenomenon, crops lack water, but they can carry water or drink water for irrigation, which is not a big deal for the people.
Of course, if there is a rainstorm in the spring, they can't ask for it.
And this spring rain, which is as expensive as oil in the eyes of the people, makes Ning Xiguang sincerely worried. The merchants had already booked a room, and even the firewood room of this inn was rented out by the shopkeeper at the price of one or two silver a night. Even the entire restaurant lobby has prepared ground shops, and the corners and corners are occupied, so it is obvious that they are ready to sleep in the lobby at night.
So, the question is, are they going to sleep on the streets tonight?
Fu Siyan rubbed her hair silently, but there was a light smile in her eyes. When Ning Xiguang saw it, he slapped him in annoyance, "You can still laugh, when you really sleep on the street tonight, I see if you will cry by then." ā
Just as he was complaining like this, Ning Xiguang saw an old man who looked like a shopkeeper, glanced at them, and then his eyes brightened, flashing with surprise, but his attitude became very respectful.
The shopkeeper walked over, respectfully saluted Fu Si, and then ......
When Ning Xiguang followed the group to the backyard, he was still a little dizzy. Why does the shopkeeper call the marshal "master"?
So, this shop knows the marshal? Is it the marshal's secret chess set up here? This restaurant is opened by the marshal?!!
With such an obvious directionality, if Ning Xiguang can't guess the joints in it, then she is a mallet.
But it was precisely because she guessed that she wanted to scratch the wall depressedly.
She was worried about the lack of housing just now, and the marshal went to watch the joke for a long time, and was not prepared to tell him the truth, she was so angry!!
The owner led them to a secluded and tidy backyard and withdrew to prepare food and hot water.
Ning Xiguang entered the room, sat at the table and sulked, Fu Siyan came over to hug her when she saw this, Ning Xiguang struggled and did not cooperate. But she is very powerful, like a cat, and she was easily suppressed by the marshal.
After being held in the arms of the marshal, the man rubbed his ears with her sideburns and let out a pleasant chuckle, "Wang Qi is a person in the secret guard. It's just that he injured his leg and foot while performing the mission, so I asked him to turn from darkness to light, open a restaurant here in the Western Regions, and collect information by the way. ā
Ning Xiguang turned his head and ignored him, "Why are you telling me this, I don't care?" But their ears are set high, ready to hear.
"You don't care, but I want you to know. Fu Siyan said in a deep voice, "A few years ago, Wang Qi trained assistants, so he went to the Western Regions according to my wishes, personally went to Tatar to sell goods, contacted Tatar nobles in the name of merchants, and provided me with all kinds of information. This time I had to use troops against the Tatars, so I summoned him back. ā
"What?" Ning Xiguang noticed that he had finished speaking, and couldn't help muttering, "It has nothing to do with me." ā
That's right, since it has nothing to do with her, what kind of idleness is she having?
Just because the marshal saw her joke just now and didn't tell her in time, is she the owner of this restaurant?
But what does it matter?
Isn't the most important thing now that they have a place to live, and they don't have to live in the wilderness and endure the wind and rain?
Just as he was thinking this, there was a thunderclap outside, which shook the entire restaurant. Immediately, heavy rain fell from the sky, accompanied by bursts of lightning and thunderbolts from time to time.
The window was violently blown open by the strong wind, and the cold wind blew in, freezing Ning Xiguang shivering.
Fu Siyan got up to close the window, but Ning Xiguang hurriedly stopped, "Wait, let me take a look first." ā
"What's there to see?"
"Oh, it's been a long time since I've seen rain, it's a bit rare. ā
He chuckled and looked at her, his eyes deep and dark, with a slight smile, as if he was teasing her little daughter.
Ning Xiguang didn't care, just said, "I really haven't seen such a scene for a long time." Before...... The place where I lived before was like spring all year round, like a fairyland. ā
"What about dreams?" Fu Siyan rubbed her hair lightly, "There are places where the four seasons are like spring, but it's a pity that it's far away in southern Xinjiang." You've never been out of the capital, so how did you get to southern Xinjiang?"
Ning Xiguang replied to him with a "you don't understand" look, Gu Zi said sadly, "As soon as it rains, I am full of sorrow, and I feel very much like a young woman in literature and art." ā
Fu Siyan had already walked away.
The owner brought in the food and hot water, and the meals were very delicate, completely different from the ones that had been placed on the tables of the rest of the guests in the lobby before, and it was obvious that the owner had prepared them carefully.
Ning Xiguang tasted it, was amazed, gave a thumbs up, and said, "It's delicious." ā
"It's not as good as the food you cooked. The marshal said very calmly.
Ning Xiguang was overjoyed when he heard this, and it was a doglegged promise, "I think too." Hehe, when I have the chance, I'll cook for you and make sure your stomach is served well. ā
"Hmm. ā
After the meal, Ning Xiguang went to wash, and the marshal turned around and disappeared. A note was left in the house, saying that he had gotten to talk to Wang Qi.
Ning Xiguang understood that this was a matter for the marshal to listen to Wang Qi's detailed report, so as to further decide on the strategy of using troops against the Tatars.
This is a big deal, she will not make a mess, so she sat in the room and twisted her hair, and when it was over, she sat silently at the window and started to start.
The rain was still heavy outside, and the good thing was that the wind had stopped, and the thunder and lightning had stopped. Opening the window to look at the rain scene outside is also a special charm.
Unconsciously, there was a knock on the door outside, it should have been knocking for a while, Ning Xiguang hurriedly answered, "Who?"
"Madame, the slave has come to bring you new clothes. ā
Ning Xiguang went over to open the door, and outside the door was a very delicate and thin little girl, combing her hair down, looking like she was only twelve or thirteen years old.
The little girl has a very shy temperament, and when she smiles at Ning Xiguang, she is a little cowardly and embarrassed.
She presented the clothes in her hand and said, "This is the shirt that the master instructed the slave maid to prepare for his wife, saying that he will let his wife wear it tomorrow." ā
Ning Xiguang took the clothes and entered the house in a daze, and his mind was always swiped by a thought:!! Sure enough, people can't look good! Just that little girl, if she looks at it, she thinks she is a restrained and cowardly little girl, but in fact, lying down, people are secret guards!!
Since she can call the marshal "master" and "madam", and she can still be on standby in the Western Regions, it can be seen that this girl is a talent and is very valued by the top.
Let's see that this girl is only twelve or thirteen years old now, lying down, is this a hero out of a teenager!
was shocked by this little girl, and then when he saw that the clothes were men's clothes, Ning Xiguang's expression was not so shocked.
After a little thought, she understood that this was about to arrive in Baiyun City, and what did the marshal not want her to expose?!!
It may also be that as a female dependent, she does not enter the barracks, so if she insists on following, she can only dress as a man. The marshal specified that he had prepared her clothes in advance because of this situation.
Hey, hey, hey, Lord Marshal is so caring.
Anyway, now that he has nothing to do, Ning Xiguang simply put the men's clothes on his body.
This dress is a servant's outfit, obviously her identity is the marshal's personal servant, but the clothes are made of fine cotton, and the collar, sleeve corners, and hem of the clothes also have exquisite patterns, which shows that she is very favored as a "slave".
Ning Xiguang was very satisfied, not to mention that this dress was comfortable to wear, and the color was also good-looking, but it was a plain and elegant light cyan.
Ning Xiguang himself is fair-skinned and not very old, wearing this plain and elegant cyan, dressing up as a man, and combing out a man's bun, he instantly became a handsome man who is indisputable.
She quite complacently imitated the way the marshal walked, and walked back and forth in the house twice, feeling that she had succeeded in playing the role of a servant, so she saluted to the window as if she were pranked, and said, "Sir, it is getting late, let the servants wait for you to rest." ā
"Yes. ā
A deep and hoarse male voice suddenly sounded from the door, and the frightened Ning Xiguang was almost jumped to his feet.
And when she realized that the person who spoke was the marshal, and she had just cosplayed yes, and said something bastard, her face suddenly burned, as if the colorful glow of the western sky was on it.
"Ahem, ahem...... What the hell, when did you come back, why didn't you squeak in advance? Don't you know that people are scary and scared to death? I almost stopped beating my new heart when I was scared by you. ā
Her eyes wandered around, but she didn't dare to open her eyes to look at Fu Siyan. But out of the corner of her eye, when the marshal was walking towards her in a heavy manner, Ning Xiguang instantly jumped to her feet like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"I, I, that, my stomach hurts so much all of a sudden, I'm going to ......"
Before the words were spoken, Ning Xiguang noticed that his waist was grasped.
The marshal's strength was amazing, and her hands clamped Ning Xiguang's waist like iron pliers, making it difficult for her to even move.
The man in front of him looked at him with a smile in his eyes, which made Ning Xiguang's face even redder, and the whole person was even more ashamed.
However, this serious man in the past also said a very indecent sentence at this time, "Xiao Langjun wants to give me a good bed, and change your clothes and sleep peacefully." ā
Ning Xiguang: Lie down, lie down,
It's a pity that Ning Xiguang didn't have time to let out this wail at all, and he was thrown on the bed entirely.
And the man immediately leaned over, stared at her and examined her carefully, the smile in his eyes became stronger, and he said in a low and magnetic voice: "Xiao Langjun will go to bed." ā
Ning Xiguang:!! I didn't take off my clothes, why did you just get straight to the point.
Light, light, I want to be old!!
This night, the marshal's combat power was amazing, as if he had taken some kind of medicine, and he was reluctant to stop for a quarter of an hour.
And Ning Xiguang didn't take off any of the clothes on his body until that was over, and none of them were taken off.
So, did she discover some unknown fetish of Lord Marshal?
Role-playing or something.,I think I should have hit a certain point in the marshal.ć
It's a pity that she will never die a second time!!
The next day, Ning Xiguang was standing on the bed with a sore back and legs, and after a long time, he noticed that the door of the room was pushed open, and someone's breath followed.
Ning Xiguang lifted the quilt up and buried his head, out of sight and out of mind.
"Xiguang, get up and eat. ā
Ning Xiguang grabbed the corners of the quilt hard, preventing someone from lifting people up, and at the same time said, "If you don't eat, I'm going on a hunger strike." ā
"Obedient, husband and wife are human nature, there is nothing to be ashamed of. ā
Ning Xiguang lifted the quilt in shame, revealing her red face, "Am I shy? I'm because I don't want to see you!!"
"Okay, then you close your eyes and I'll feed you. ā
Ning Xiguang: I'll circle you with a fork fork fork!
Ning Xiguang was finally amused by the marshal, and he couldn't get angry, but because of last night's role-playing, he couldn't pull his face.
Tell the truth!! Although the baby has done a lot of things that have no lower limit, it is really the first time to refresh the lower limit like last night. I think it should be the only time, because she decided to blacklist and delete those four words permanently in the future.
The rain outside hasn't stopped, but it's changing. There was no way to hurry in such weather, so Ning Xiguang continued to lie on the bed with peace of mind.
ā¦ā¦
By the time the group arrived at Baiyun City, it was already three days later. At this time, Baiyun City was bustling with people, constantly coming and going, and the bustle was no different from some commercial cities in the hinterland of Daxin.
Among them, the people of the Great New Dynasty traded with various tribes in the Western Regions, and when walking on the street, you can see people of different races in different costumes from time to time.
They have all kinds of bird feathers on their heads, or they have various totems painted on their faces, or they wear the teeth of wolves and various beasts of prey on their necks and wrists, and so on.
