Chapter 662: Frontier
What Dongfang Shuo wants to do, Ji Henghu certainly can't figure it out.
Because if Dongfang Shuo doesn't mention this matter, I'm afraid few people in the world can see what he wants to do.
But now that Dongfang Shuo has asked them to pack up, Ji Henghu and the little girl have to be busy.
All kinds of things in the room are classified, and they are all packed in different rings, but they are also very clearly divided by Ji Henghu.
In the end, when more than a dozen different types of Na rings were stuffed into the same Na ring by Ji Henghu, the two people who had been busy for a long time were finally able to sit down and take a good rest.
"Ah Hu, you said, Brother Shuo asked us to pack up, are we about to leave?" the little girl suddenly asked, "Then what do you think we are going to go next?"
But Ji Henghu shook his head.
He also asked Dongfang Shuo himself the same question, but Dongfang Shuo's answer to him was......
"I don't know," Ji Henghu shook his head, "The master himself doesn't know." ”
"And such a thing?"
The little girl pursed her mouth, but she didn't ask any more.
And almost at this moment, there was no knock on the door, and it was pushed open from the outside.
"Master, you're back. ”
Looking at Dongfang Shuo who walked into the room, Ji Henghu hurriedly got up.
Dongfang Shuo nodded: "Have I made all the outfits of your jewelry?"
"It's all done," Ji Henghu said, "It's just that I don't understand, why buy so many kinds of things?"
Dongfang Shuo glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth hooked.
"If you can't see through it, then I'll rest assured, but the secret of heaven can't be revealed, and I can't tell you two for the time being," Dongfang Shuo said, "But I think you should be able to understand my intentions soon." ”
"Soon?"
Ji Henghu was puzzled, obviously Dongfang Shuo had said before that he would take one step at a time.
"We?"
The little girl was stunned, she obviously didn't understand anything, why did Dongfang Shuo think she could understand.
And in the face of the doubts written on the faces of the two people, Dongfang Shuo just smiled.
"Alright, now that we've packed up, we should also go," Dongfang Shuo said, facing the door, "Fat cat, take it to the backyard and lead the carriage to the front door of the inn." ”
"The hosts. ”
"What's wrong?"
"Can you ...... in the future?"
"Can it be anything?"
"Can you stop calling me a fat cat?"
"Why?"
Dongfang Shuo asked.
Ji Henghu glanced at the little girl on the side, intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Because ...... I'm not fat at all. ”
Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth hooked.
"It seems that my little cat has grown up," Dongfang Shuo said, "However, I'm used to calling fat cats, do I have to change my words now?"
"It doesn't have to be, it's just ......"
"Then I'll call you a fat cat in the future. ”
Dongfang Shuo smiled and glanced at him with his spare eyes.
“...... Oh......"
Ji Henghu lowered his head, but he didn't continue to distinguish.
Then he walked out of the room and went to lead the horse.
"Little girl, did you tell him anything?"
Dongfang Shuo asked.
The little girl nodded: "Yes, I said that I don't think the title of 'fat cat' is very suitable for him." ”
Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes.
"Maybe you haven't seen him just break out of his shell, fat as a ball, and learn to meow. He said this, looking at the little girl's expression, revealing a bit of emotions that seemed to yearn.
The little girl looked at him, but it was a shell.
"Broken shell?" the little girl asked, "Wasn't the little tiger born directly from the big tiger?"
"The little tiger born to the big tiger is naturally born directly, but Ji Henghu is not an ordinary little tiger," Dongfang Shuo paused and continued, "He was born of a dragon." ”
"Dragons?"
The little girl asked again, "Is it a big monster like the big white snake a few months ago?"
"The big white snake you are talking about should be the nephew of the fat cat. ”
"Nephew...... Son?"
The little girl became more and more confused.
And just as the two were chatting briefly, there were a few neighing sounds outside the inn.
The horse hissed and ended the conversation between the two, and the two walked out of the room one after the other.
Looking at the back of the little girl, Dongfang Shuo shook his head slightly.
"A little girl's words can make the fat cat dislike the name I gave...... Is it?" Dongfang Shuo muttered in a low voice.
Soon, however, he stopped thinking about it and walked out of the inn.
After departing, the carriage drove quickly into the wilderness beyond the imperial city.
Dongfang Shuo lifted the curtain and looked out into the wilderness outside the city.
At this moment, in his mind, the scenery he had seen on horseback two hundred years later gradually appeared.
What a prosperity.
And how can the scene at this moment be desolate?
The carriage traveled for more than half a day in this vast wilderness before finally reaching the nearest city in the south of the Imperial City.
However, they did not enter the city, but hurried to the road after a little rest for half an hour.
Although Dongfang Shuo didn't say a word about it, Ji Henghu could also vaguely feel that he seemed to be chasing something.
Three days later, they finally reached the edge of the empire.
This is the border set half a year ago, and in the past six months, the border town has been repeatedly attacked, and it is still in a dilapidated state.
Although there are shops in the town, it is quite desolate, and the people are panicked, and no one knows when the next raid will come.
But if they want to move away, there is no place for them in the huge empire.
"Guest, is it wine or tea?"
After Dongfang Shuo entered the inn, the shopkeeper immediately rushed to his front.
Dongfang Shuo looked back at the sky dyed red by the setting sun, and said, "Give us two rooms, we will stay for one night." ”
"This ...... It's not that the shop doesn't entertain, it's just for the sake of the guests, even if it's a night trip, it's better to invite the guests to spend the night somewhere else. ”
"Other stores are trying their best to keep customers, why did they come to you and drive customers away?"
"The guest is from out of town, right?
"People from the Longlin Empire...... Sort of. ”
"Even if it's not, the shop doesn't care, as long as it's not a thief from the Sea Seal Country, the shop can treat customers well. "The shopkeeper said.
Dongfang Shuo pursed his lips.
"In that case, why did the store drive us away?"
"My lord doesn't know, there are thieves looting in our town every three or five days, although the thieves haven't come for almost half a month, but they can't be ...... tonight."
Speaking of this, there was a sudden commotion outside the shop.
"Oh no! The army of the dog country is coming!"
The shouts soon reached the ears of Dongfang Shuo and the shopkeeper.
And this time, the shopkeeper's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said: "Guest, it's a thief, hurry up and ...... with me."
But before he finished speaking, Dongfang Shuo grabbed his sleeve.
"Don't panic, this time it must not be an enemy. ”
