78. Shelter from the rain
Things are not as good as imagined, a few people did not find a place to settle that day, still sleeping in the open air, fortunately, after the third day, a few people finally arrived at the more developed town, the town is as shallow Sakura thought, the investigation at the city gate is very strict, the four people looked at each other, or went in casually, but went in very smoothly, and no one came to ask them anything.
Entered the city, Asakura looked left and right, the West is indeed not as developed as the South at this point, dress, or architecture, are relatively poor, finally no longer have to eat and sleep, the four of them specially found a restaurant to eat, the restaurant sounds quite tall, but compared to Dragon City, it is simply a big difference, but it will be, it is better than continuing to eat things without salt in the wild, Sakura feels that in a few days, their sense of taste will be invalid.
After ordering a few good dishes, Nangong Mingyu whispered, "This city gate is so tightly investigated, but it doesn't seem to be aimed at us."
"What are we doing, we're wearing Western clothes now, so we can't see anything," Sakura took a sip of water.
"Then why are they so nervous?"
"Just ask." After Sakura finished speaking, she shouted to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, come here"
The shopkeeper came over, after all, it is rare for a distinguished guest to come to the door to see people's clothes, although it is dusty, but it can be seen that it is a top good material, where can ordinary people afford to wear?
This is all thanks to Yang Ni, who picked the best when stealing.
"We're from other towns, but you guys are very strict here, and we don't see this here
Tight, huh? ”
"Oh, it seems that it was because someone in the palace stole the king's jade seal and escaped, so how strict is the investigation," the shopkeeper whispered.
"That's right," the few nodded secretly.
Seeing that a few people had no questions to ask, the shopkeeper automatically retreated.
"Why do you say this person wants to steal the jade seal?" asked Sasura.
"Steal it and sell it?" Yang Ni tried to say.
"You can sell the real jade seal, besides, you are wanted by the whole country, and you may not be able to die."
"That's probably because this person has a grudge against the king of the west, and then ...... Or, is it a spy from another country? You must know that although Nanguo is a big country, there are many small countries around it," Nangong Mingyu also tried to analyze.
"What are you stealing for?" Sakura questioned again. "Escaping is nothing more than a treasure for other countries, completely useless"
It just so happened that the dishes were all on at this time, and several people did not continue the topic.
After eating, I bought some dry food, and Asakura specially bought salt, so that sleeping in the wind and eating will not be tasteless.
Their goal was to rush to the royal city of the West Kingdom as soon as possible, and then take off the head of the King of the West and return to the West Kingdom.
At noon, they were on the road again, but it began to rain at ten o'clock in the evening. I hurriedly found a dilapidated house to hide from the rain.
Bai Yu lit a fire and said, "Look at this rain, it won't stop for a while."
Sakura nodded, and put her cold hands on the fire to roast.
"Lei Feng, you, will you go back to the barracks after killing the King of the West" Nangong Mingyu suddenly asked.
"Uh...... Can you go back? Sakura said with her eyelids lowered.
"If you don't want to go back, just be an idle cloud wild crane with me, I won't let you suffer" Nangong Mingyu's eyes became affectionate again.
"When you talk about this, I want to ask, Nangong Mingyu, how do you know that I am a woman?" Asakura had the heart to divert the topic, although she knew that she had no chance with Nangong Mingmo, she didn't want to get involved in other relationships so early.
"Uh...... Can I say I'm guessing," Nangong Mingyu said hesitantly.
"No, I've been in the barracks for so long, you can guess it alone, do you think I believe it" Asakura glanced at Nangong Mingyu, it is necessary to figure out this problem, so that it can be improved in the future.
"Okay......" Nangong Mingyu didn't want to say it, he was afraid that he would be killed by Asakura with one palm if he said it.
"So you explain it to me well," Sakura didn't relent.
Nangong Mingyu didn't speak, Yang Ni didn't look over, he didn't know anything.
"Did you peek at me taking a bath" Asakura saw that the two masters and servants were suffocating and didn't say anything, in fact, Yang Ni really didn't know anything. Occasionally, when it's hot, she'll run out to take a shower alone, or she'll be smoked to death by herself.
"I didn't ...... There is no "Nangong Mingyu spits."
"Huh?" Sakura and Hakutama both cast inquiring glances, with a little contempt.
Then looking at Nangong Mingyu's blushing face, Yang Nie looked at his Royal Highness like this, and also cast it with BS eyes.
"Okay, yes, but I swear, only one glance" Nangong Mingyu finally admitted, and then defended himself.
"That time?"
"It was the time you saved Yu Li and the four of them, I would have found you when you were taking a bath......" Nangong Mingyu continued to confess.
"You're hiding deep enough," Sakura squinted.
"So, your innocence is ruined now, I swear I will be responsible" Nangong Mingyu continued to play his shamelessness.
"It's okay, nothing happened to the blind eyes," Sakura said, drawing her sword.
Bai Yu fully supported and said, "You go, I'll stop Yang Ni"
"Hey, hey, hey, be lenient in your confession," Nangong Mingyu said pitifully.
A few people were fighting, and the dilapidated door creaked open, accompanied by the rain and wind.
The four of them turned their gaze to the door in unison.
At the doorway stood a trembling, ragged old man.
It looked pitiful, and the old man probably saw that someone inside was planning to leave.
Asakura's heart softened, and she walked over to help the old man and said, "If you don't mind, just bake the fire with us."
It was the king of the West who committed the sin, and it was not this old man, so she relented.
The old man was a little cold, so he didn't refuse, just gently shook off Sakura's hand, and then walked to the fire, sat down alone, and never said a word.
Sakura closed the door, walked to the fire, and then took out dry food and gave it to the old man.
The old man did not refuse, and took the dry food and devoured it.
The four of them each looked at each other and didn't say anything, and for a while there was only the sound of the fire crackling and the sound of the old man eating, and the silence was a little embarrassing.
Asakura sighed to herself, no matter where there are poor people who can't eat.
Suddenly remembered that in the dilapidated house in Shaping City, there were more than 20 old, weak, sick and disabled, I don't know what happened to them now, it seems that after finishing the affairs of the Western Kingdom, she still has to find a way to make money, and may have to go back to the barracks.
Bai Yu saw the distress in Asakura's eyes, and patted Asakura on the shoulder with her hand to express comfort.
The rain outside had not stopped, and after a while, there was another sound of horses' hooves and talking at the door.
Bai Yu got up and walked to the door, glanced outside, his face sank, and whispered, "It's a soldier from the Western Kingdom."
