Chapter 144: Jade Customs
A few days later, Hua Qianyue and his entourage finally arrived at the Jade Customs.
Hua Qianyue didn't know what words to use to describe the situation here.
The spring breeze does not pass the jade gate? The wind is dashing and the water is cold? Or is it lonely in the desert?
The city wall built of loess, inside and outside the city is a piece of yellow, and the dust raised by the northwest wind is more than two people high.
In fact, strictly speaking, it is not how desolate the Jade Customs is, mainly this place is in the tuyere, the northwest wind blows day and night, blowing the grass and dead wood and yellow leaves in the morning.
Because the merchants are reluctant to go out of the customs, the commerce here is very developed, it may be that the relationship between the herdsmen who live in the border pass is often in the relationship, the merchants here do not look down on foreign races as much as in the customs, and the herdsmen outside the customs who carry furs in exchange for grain and cloth can be seen everywhere in the market, of course, this beautiful scene is only limited to here, and the herdsmen must go through strict inspections when they enter the customs.
Hua Qianyue walked on the crowded street, staring at the Mongolian dress in the ready-to-wear shop, drooling, but could only stare dryly.
"Since Miss likes it, why don't you buy a set?"
Lan Xiang also felt that the Hu Fu was very beautiful, and tried her best to encourage Hua Qianyue.
"Wouldn't it be cumbersome to buy it and not be able to wear it."
Compared to the upper and lower lotus, it is much calmer.
"I think it's better to find a place to get something delicious."
Yuan Yi, who had been following behind him and was responsible for protection, interjected.
In the capital, Qi Haotian never treated them as outsiders, and later went to Huafu and often went to Ruyi Tower, this appetite has long been raised, and he has already hooked out his gluttony along the way.
Lan Xiang is also a foodie, as soon as she heard that she was busy eating, she left her clothes behind, and pulled Hua Qianyue with one hand and Helu with the other to find food.
Half an hour later, the four of them ordered a table of food on the Songhe Tower, and after eating a sigh, they remembered that Qi Haotian and Tong Yu flew to the city defense general and didn't know if they didn't care about the food, so they ordered a few more signature dishes and carried them back with food boxes.
This time, in order to avoid people's eyes, they entered the jade customs in batches.
Tong Yufei and Qi Haotian took two hundred sergeants dressed as Hua Qianyue and others' entourage and dart masters to escort Hua Qianyue and others into the city first, and stayed at the Laiyuan Inn not far from the border city army, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were led by Yimu and directly entered the border city army camp, and Tong Yufei and Qi Haotian also quietly went to the military camp after they were ready.
That night, the two didn't climb over the wall and return to the inn until they were young, and at this time, Hua Qianyue had not gone to bed to rest, and lit a candle to write a letter to her family on the sour branch wooden table near the window.
"Does Miss need to write so much?"
Lan Xiang pointed to the bundles of letters on the table, some of which were unbelievable.
"Is it much? I'm not too little. ”
Hua Qianyue carefully dried the ink of a letter to Tong Wanyu that she had just written.
"When you get out, how can anyone send you a letter? Write more and put it at the post station, make up the order, send a bundle back every month, so as not to receive letters, so that they can worry about us plainly. ”
"Miss, you're so smart."
Lan Xiang's big black and white eyes were full of admiration for her young lady.
"The slave and maid will polish your ink, you can write more."
"Still write." Helu gave Lan Xiang a shot of popping millet, "Don't look at the time of day, what kind of coaxing." ”
Lan Xiang reached out and touched her head, sticking out her tongue at Helu.
"Helu, you are becoming more and more like Mama Qian, who is in charge of your head and feet all day long."
Lan Xiang pouted and said.
Lan Xiang's temperament jumped out of the nagging of Mama Qian at home, I thought that I didn't have to listen to those nagging when I came out, but I didn't expect Helu to nag again.
The three masters and servants here are happily writing family letters, but Qi Haotian is not used to it.
These days, he has been accustomed to the night accompanied by Hua Qianyue, the dark room is without the soft light and the figure under the lamp, his heart is empty, Qi Haotian took the door with his backhand and walked aimlessly in the corridor of the inn.
Unconsciously walked to Hua Qianyue's window, the warm candlelight cast her figure on the window lattice, Qi Haotian's cold fingers touched the orange on the window lattice, as if her fingers had become warm......
On the second day, he still took 200 sergeants to escort Hua Qianyue and others out of the customs, while the other more than 4,000 people disguised themselves as herdsmen and went out of the customs in batches to protect them secretly.
Stepping out of the gate is another scene, although there is no wind blowing grass and seeing the grandeur of cattle and sheep, the boundless breadth still makes Hua Qianyue feel shocked.
Stepping on the half-dry grass under her feet, the sky was extraordinarily high, Hua Qianyue felt that her state of mind was also broadening with this grassland, and she could already imagine the beauty and magnificence of the grass and water in the coming year.
Horse, I want to ride a horse, Hua Qianyue screamed in her heart.
When you come to the prairie, you don't ride a high-headed horse and gallop once, and I'm embarrassed to say that I've been to the prairie.
But...... It seems like...... She didn't know how to ride, and Hua Qianyue suddenly deflated like a ball.
Hua Qianyue is very frustrated, but some people are more than just discouraged, for example, the wizard is now very annoyed with his neck shrunk, chasing all the way from the capital, I thought I would be able to succeed soon, but I didn't expect to see that group of people out of the customs and didn't look for a chance to start.
"Whoa."
A man in dark clothes with a helpless face threw a small brown bag into the sorcerer's arms.
The wizard was careless and failed to catch it, and a few new herdsmen's clothes were scattered all over the place, and he hurriedly squatted on the ground and stuffed them back into the baggage one by one.
"Does it really have to be like this?"
The wizard hugged the burden and cried with a sad face.
He hated that little rabbit cub and wished he was dead, but he didn't plan to put himself in, outside the gate, what can't those barbarians do? Wait until the snow covers the mountains and still be thorough.
Not going? was afraid that these two people would not allow him not to go, and he knew from the beginning that these two people were clearly saying that they were his assistants, but they were actually here to monitor and supervise his actions.
The wizard hated Hua Qianyue more and more, it was all this damn boy who was full of food and nosy, causing him to go all the way to the gate to suffer.
Hearing the wizard's words, the Xuanyi man was expressionless, and the young man beside him, who was short and dressed in gray, had his lungs exploded.
"You are embarrassed to say this, if you weren't as timid as a mouse, our brothers would accompany you to eat outside the gate? Our brother hasn't said anything yet, you call first. ”
What the steward said is indeed right, this guy is not only cunning and greedy for money, but also greedy for life and afraid of death, this way is not a chance to start at all, and there are even one or two excellent opportunities, but this guy wasted a great opportunity because he could not guarantee that he would retreat with his whole body. If it weren't for the repeated instructions of the steward before leaving: "Don't do it yourself, remember to take care of this person!" He had already slashed this guy with a knife and rushed forward.
"What are you talking to him, find a place to change your clothes quickly." The man in Xuanyi glared at the young man dissatisfied, and his words were hurried. "If you don't keep up with the outside of the gate, where can you find someone to go to."
Hearing this, the young man immediately fell silent, and dragged the wizard to the remote place.
