Chapter 220: Qiang City
When Zhou Huaiyu heard this, he immediately pretended to wipe away his tears, "I was originally a young lady from a big family in the capital, and I had a tall and handsome fiancΓ©, but on a trip, Gesen coveted my beauty, so he abducted me and asked me to go home with him to be his woman, I didn't obey, she tied me up and didn't let me eat, hey, this beautiful sister, can you help me send a letter back to the capital, so that my family can take me home?" β
The woman hesitated slightly, and Zhou Huaiyu continued: "Sister, I asked my family to send you a box of grease that I touched, so that your face will be smoother than mine in less than a month!" β
The woman didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately nodded, "Okay, okay." β
With a "bang", the door was suddenly pushed open, and as soon as the two women turned around, they saw Gesen standing at the door with a cold face. The local woman was so frightened that she quickly stood up, looked at Zhou Huaiyu nervously, and looked at Gesen. And Zhou Huaiyu raised his eyebrows, not knowing if Gesen had just come back, or if he had already stood outside the door and heard their conversation.
"What are you talking about?"
As soon as Gesen spoke, with his cold expression, the local woman was frightened and wanted to explain, but Zhou Huaiyu had already spoken quickly: "I said I wanted to send some grease to this sister, and she said yes, okay." The woman nodded in agreement.
Gesen didn't say anything more, and he didn't know if he believed Zhou Huaiyu's words.
After the woman left, Gesen said, "We leave tonight, do you want to go by yourself, or will I tie you up and go?" β
Zhou Huaiyu immediately said solemnly: "Don't worry, I don't want to stay in the capital anymore, otherwise I won't run out by myself, so you don't have to tie me up and worry about me escaping, because no matter where you go, as long as you don't go back to the capital." β
Gesen looked at Zhou Huaiyu silently for a while, and found that her two eyes were staring at him with roundness, not timid at all, so he went downstairs by himself, asked for something to eat, and packed some after eating, it was already evening.
At night, everyone stayed at the guest house, so in order not to arouse suspicion, Gesen did not leave the room, and directly took Zhou Huaiyu downstairs to prepare to leave.
As soon as I walked downstairs, I saw the woman waiting downstairs, and when I saw them coming down, I immediately stood up and looked at Zhou Huaiyu expectantly. As soon as Gesen frowned, Zhou Huaiyu walked up to the woman by himself, took her hand, and took the opportunity to stuff the strip of cloth with handwriting into the woman's hand. "Sister, let's go out of the courtyard for the time being, and when we come back, I'll take you to buy grease, you wait for me."
The woman nodded, and then Zhou Huaiyu smiled and left with Gesen.
The Great Calendar Dynasty and the Northern Barbarians are now in a temporary state of peace, because Guo Hongye won a great victory in the north before, and the Northern Barbarians suffered relatively heavy losses, and temporarily belonged to the Great Calendar Dynasty, but in fact, both the Great Calendar Dynasty and the Northern Barbarian soldiers understood that if there was an opportunity, the two sides would still fight desperately to fight for land.
But because of this temporary surface peace, over the past year or so, the northern border began to have some unusual prosperity, and some merchants of the northern barbarians obtained passes and were allowed to come to a place called Qiangcheng on the border to do business and exchange goods, so Qiangcheng is the most prosperous city in the north of the Great Calendar Dynasty.
Since Qiangcheng is the territory of the Great Calendar Dynasty, it is still necessary to follow the rules of the Great Calendar Dynasty and close the city gate at night, so Gesen gave up the carriage and rode directly on the horse, letting Zhou Huaiyu sit in front of him, galloping all the way, and finally entered Qiangcheng before the city gate was closed.
As soon as Zhou Huaiyu arrived in Qiangcheng, he immediately liked it here, because the lights were bright, the streets and alleys were full of all kinds of vendor stalls, and the things sold were also varied and strange.
"Geson, are we going out of town overnight?"
Since leaving the inn, Zhou Huaiyu has returned to his manly dress, and along the way, he and Gesen have not attracted anyone's attention, but Zhou Huaiyu is sensitive to the fact that as soon as he stepped into Qiang City, Gesen became extremely nervous.
In fact, Zhou Huaiyu didn't understand Gesen's behavior, because if he meant to bring her from the Great Calendar Dynasty to Beiban, but why didn't he take advantage of the daytime to come directly to Qiangcheng and then leave, but now he rested in the last place for nearly a day, knowing that in the evening, he came here just in time for the city gate to close, and it seems that he wants to stay here for one night.
Isn't he afraid that she will get in touch with the generals who defend the city of the Great Calendar Dynasty, and then this mission will fail?
But I have to say that Zhou Huaiyu's heart began to move, because this should be her last chance.
"Shut up and follow me."
Gesen didn't take Zhou Huaiyu to the inn, but turned around and came to a shop, and the words on it looked like ants, so that she immediately understood that this was not a shop opened by the people of the Dali Dynasty, and before she could resist, Gesen forcibly dragged her into the courtyard.
As soon as Gesen entered the courtyard, three strong men came out of the courtyard, and unlike Gesen, they were all tall and mighty, and they walked as if the ground under their feet was about to be trampled apart.
"#@Β₯#%@#......" One of the three strong men opened his mouth in a chirping bird language, Zhou Huaiyu couldn't understand it, but looking at the expressions of these three people, he found that they were not very enthusiastic about Gesen.
And Gesen also replied in bird language, and in an instant, the three of them showed respectful looks, and hurriedly welcomed Gesen into the house, and at the same time showed respect to Zhou Huaiyu, but after Gesen said another word, the three of them immediately put away their respect, and then their eyes began to become ruthless.
Gesen also noticed it, and scolded in a stern tone, but it didn't have much effect, because although the three of them no longer looked at her openly with terrible eyes, they occasionally turned around or raised their eyes, which still made Zhou Huaiyu feel cold.
Zhou Huaiyu was a little scared at first, so when Gesen let her sleep in a room alone, Zhou Huaiyu was not happy. "Geson, since you brought me out, you are responsible for my safety, I have a hunch that something will happen tonight, so I want to sleep in a room with you."
Gesen's eyes as he looked at Zhou Huaiyu began to become complicated, and his brows furrowed deeply. Zhou Huaiyu realized what he had just said, and then immediately explained: "I mean to sleep in the same room with you, I sleep on the bed, and you sleep on the ground!" β
Gesen's eyes became more complicated, and he didn't say a word, and turned to leave.
Zhou Huaiyu smiled and immediately followed, but in the end he was still locked out of the door by Gesen, "Your room is next door, if you don't sleep, sleep in the yard." β
Zhou Huaiyu snorted coldly at the door panel, and had no choice but to push open the door next door. If it's next door, it's okay, if she yells at something, Gesen should hear it, and Zhou Huaiyu feels a lot safer in his heart.
