Chapter 187: I'm just a passerby
Naturally, the envoys had to follow the official path.
The scenery on both sides of the official road is a little monotonous.
Anyway, the time was not in a hurry, Zhou Fei simply changed the route of the carriage and turned from the official road into a small road.
The road was not wide, barely large enough for two carriages to crisscross.
Ling Zhaoyan glanced at the scenery outside the window and asked, "Do you recognize the way to Qin?"
Zhou Fei shook his head: "I don't recognize it." ”
"Then you still dare to change lanes at will?" Ling Zhaoyan was taken aback, "If we lose this, how can we go to Xianyang?"
Zhou Fei looked full of confidence and said, "Don't worry, the mountain people have their own clever plans, and they will never lose them." Besides, the carriages of the envoys were not engraved with inscriptions, and they could not run fast. When the time comes, we will return to the official road, let the horses gallop to their heart's content, and soon catch up. ”
Ling Zhaoyan shrugged his shoulders, with an expression of happiness that you are happy.
The scenery on the trail is much better than on the official road.
However, it is a little regrettable that because of the snow disaster, the dealer that should have grown up is nowhere to be seen at the moment.
The peasants are sowning like crazy.
It's a race against time with days.
Hopefully, by the fall, there will be no famine.
The car drove on the trail for more than two hours, and when the sun began to set in the west, Zhou Fei saw the village in front of him.
"Let's go, let's spend the night. Zhou Fei said with great interest: "By the way, go to the restaurant to eat some hot dishes and hot soup or something." ”
Although the carriage is comfortable, it is still not as good as the bed after all, Ling Zhaoyan has been in the carriage all day, and he really wants to get off the car and feel the taste of being down-to-earth.
The carriage drove slowly into the village and stopped next to an old millstone at the entrance of the village.
Zhou Fei jumped out of the car, untied the horse harness, and slapped each of the two horses on the buttocks, letting them go to forage for food by themselves.
He wasn't at all worried about the two horses being stolen.
The horse's hooves are branded with the official seal.
No matter how bold the thief is, he will not dare to steal the official's horse, once he is caught, it will be a big crime for the nine clans.
The air in the countryside was better than in Chang'an, and Zhou Fei stretched his waist fiercely and let out a comfortable moan.
Ling Zhaoyan also jumped out of the car, took a look at the surrounding environment, and felt that it was very good.
"I didn't expect you to be quite good at choosing places. Ling Zhaoyan praised.
Zhou Fei said: "God gave me a pair of black eyes, just to let me discover the beauty of the world. ”
Ling Zhaoyan tilted his head and thought for a while: "This is very reasonable." ”
Zhou Fei thought to himself that it was naturally reasonable, and he needed to be familiar with and memorize the full text in the future life, how could it be unreasonable?
Just as Zhou Fei was about to lead Ling Zhaoyan to the village restaurant, two shadows rushed over.
Zhou Fei's eyes were sick, and he found that these two shadows were his own sweat and blood BMW.
These two horses are given by the emperor, and they are the top horses that have been screened out layer by layer, and they are absolute leaders in terms of endurance and explosiveness and resistance to hitting.
What could make these two horses so flustered?
Zhou Fei's vigilance instantly rose to the highest.
One of Ling Zhaoyan's hands also rested on the hilt of his sword.
The two horses ran back behind Zhou Fei and let out heavy breathing.
At this time they were no longer two horses, but two dogs, huskits.
Zhou Fei touched the two horses and turned to look in the direction they were galloping from.
After a few breaths, I saw a farmer about thirty years old, running over with a hoe in his hand, shouting something in his mouth as he ran, but the country accent was a bit heavy, and Zhou Fei couldn't hear it too clearly.
But it's probably not a good word.
waited until the other party ran closer, and Zhou Fei finally understood what he was shouting.
"Shameless horse thief, return me bean cake. ”
Figuring out the situation, Zhou Fei really couldn't cry or laugh.
It turned out that the two horses had arrived at the farmer's door, and happened to catch up with each other eating bean cakes, and the two fools were attracted by the aroma of the bean cakes, so they ran over and ate each other's bean cakes, or the kind in turn.
So he was chased all the way here.
"This old brother should not be angry, I will compensate for the bean cakes they ate. Zhou Fei took out a piece of silver: "Do you think this money is enough?"
The farmer was also tired enough, and his hands pressed on the handle of the hoe, gasping for air.
"These two brutes are yours?" asked the farmer.
Zhou Fei nodded: "I'm really sorry for causing you trouble." ”
"Horses are good horses, but they are a little undisciplined. The farmer said: "It is the first time I have seen such a good horse, and even a general could not ride such a good horse in the barracks before." ”
The Tang Dynasty is still implementing the government military system of the previous dynasty, but the current emperor Li Hong is already considering changing the government military system to a recruitment system.
The biggest feature of the military system is the integration of soldiers and peasants, farming in leisure time, going out on expedition when busy, and solving all the horses and weapons by themselves.
So when it came to the barracks and the general, Zhou Fei was not surprised at all.
Datang advocates martial arts, and men have basically served as soldiers.
Zhou Fei stuffed the silver ingot over: "Bean cake money, please accept it." ”
The farmer didn't care, and said: "It's just a few cakes, why should I compensate, I just saw that I was happy, and I felt that these two beasts were just deliberately teasing them." It's not that I really came here to ask for compensation, okay, my mother-in-law is still waiting for me to go back to dinner. Leave. ”
Zhou Fei hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, this eldest brother, my friend and I have just come to Baodi, and we are hungry and thirsty, I don't know where to drink tea and eat in this village?"
The farmer glanced at Zhou Fei: "Look at the way you are dressed, and those two BMWs, it doesn't look like you're lost, aren't you going to Qin Country to participate in the Rausch Flower Food Festival?"
Zhou Fei was a little surprised: "Big brother also knows about the Flower Food Festival." ”
"Do you really think I'm a farmer in the countryside?" the farmer chuckled, "Let's go, go to my house." Nothing else, the flatbread is enough. ”
Zhou Fei took out the silver ingot he had just refused: "Then you must accept this money." ”
"You are ......," the farmer said, "It's really not as bold as my Tang boy." ”
Zhou Fei smiled: "I just don't like to take advantage of people." ”
"That's it, I'm too lazy to talk to you, come with me. The farmer waved his hand and strode forward.
Zhou Fei and Ling Zhaoyan followed.
Neither of them is bad, so they don't worry about an ambush or anything ahead.
The farmer's house is not far from the entrance of the village, less than ten minutes away, there are three grass huts, a small yard, a dozen chickens, and a black dog.
Very ordinary farmhouse.
Lovely farmhouse.
The farmer ran to the house, asked his aunt to get more food, and when he came out again, there was a huge wine jug in his hand, he slammed the wine jug on the table, and said, "Come, try my home-brewed rice wine!"
Since they are all here, Zhou Fei will naturally not be polite, drink all the bowls in one go, and say loudly: "Good wine!" I want to talk about "The Strongest Waste Material System" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
