I listened to the conversation of passers-by on the street and glanced sideways at the sky.

After thinking about it, I asked, "Senior brother, let's go abroad to the capital to the northland, and we take the waterway, but I heard that the north is bitterly cold, do we have to change the carriage and take the land route in the middle?" “

Tianfang nodded.

My face froze, I lowered my eyelids and thought for a while, and then I thought of the words before I asked him: "What is the difference in time between the empress's team and ours by land?" “

In other words, according to the different plans of the two sides, which side will reach the Northland faster?

That's what I care about the most!

There are many long nights and dreams, and the time spent on the road is also related to the current situation in the Northland, and I know that if there is a choice, the empress will definitely choose to arrive in the fastest time.

But when he went to the north, not only the king, but also the people who accompanied him, would definitely stop on the road, not only for supplies and rest, but also to take care of them.

Marching and fighting is like playing a big game of chess, with the hard work of strategizing in the middle, and the people who control it understand.

The Empress commanded this huge team, and she had a lot to worry about.

Tianfang looked at me for a while, and couldn't help but slow down.

He thought about it carefully before answering me, "Little junior sister, because I don't know how many times they stopped along the way, it's really hard to judge the order of time. “

Tianfang said it very pertinently.

He pondered for a moment and added, "However, in my opinion, the variables of the water route are relatively small, and it should be faster than the land route. “

Tianfang glanced in the direction of the city gate, then turned to look at me and said, "But once it is changed to land." Our itinerary may not have the empress's team. "They are so loud that they not only provide convenience but give way everywhere they go." "So I can't tell you whether it's us or them first," Tianfang said in a changed tone. "Little junior sister, but I estimate that there is a great possibility of encountering them along the way, unless we deliberately avoid them"

He said something I hadn't thought of at all, and I looked at him in a daze, lowered my head and didn't speak.

Passing through a small alley, it is the nearest street to Mei Xian Court. The flow of people here, a lot of desertion.

When I walked with Tianfang to the side door of the alley, I saw that the carriage of the winery had stopped there.

Because the alley is narrow. As soon as the carriage stopped, no more cars could come out, and the alley could only allow one carriage to pass at a time, and passers-by could cross sideways.

Tianfang and I saw the situation in the alley at a glance at the mouth of the alley. Before he went in, he said, "Go back to the building and wait for me." Little sister, I said a few words to them, and gave them things by the way. "It's not good if their carriage has been parked at the door for a long time."

Tianfang brought me closer and whispered to me, nodding knowingly.

Subconsciously stopped, and I looked at the carriage.

The shopkeeper of the winery should have prepared in advance, and he deliberately chose a car that is common on the streets of the national capital, and people who come and go from south to north will not pay much attention to it.

The people in the carriage, except for the young man I had met once, were driving a young man I didn't know. He was dressed like the guy at the brewery.

It's probably the person under the shopkeeper who sent him to do this mission.

I obey the word of heaven. I went upstairs to wait for him in the first door, and when I had nothing to do, I looked at all the things that had been prepared for me in the room, along with the change of clothes that had been prepared for me in the closet.

About half an hour later, the footsteps of Tianfang sounded at the door. "Senior brother, but it's all done?" I walked over to the table and poured him tea, and asked as I brought it over. "It's all right, they went out of the city gate, drove directly to the river, and sent everything over first, and when we left, it was the lightest."

Tianfang glanced at me, and I nodded: "Senior brother has arranged it properly, but you didn't tell me that when I go out of the city this evening, I have to change my clothes?" "Not many people in the palace have seen your face, right?" Tianfang asked me in a tentative tone, and his gaze stayed on my face and said.

I bowed my head: "It's true that no one has seen it, or I'll go out of the city as I am?" ”

A trace of hesitation flashed in Tianfang's eyes, and after thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "I don't think it's very good, today's inventory at the city gate is still quite strict according to the people in the pavilion." ”

"How so?" I looked at the sky in amazement and said, "The king has left the city, and now at this point, he should have left the national capital city some distance." "Is it necessary to be so strict in the inventory at the city gates?"

When it comes to Shun lì leaving here, Senior Brother shouldn't be joking with me, I feel a little surprised, or do I not understand the situation? Could it be that there are still the rest of the people who haven't left the city?

Tianfang glanced sideways at me and explained to me: "From now until there is a result in the Northland dispute, the investigation here in the capital city may not be relaxed. "You must know that the sword in front has no eyes, but the rear is also the place where they are clinging, so they can't be careless, the empress must have made it clear to them before leaving."

"The burden on the shoulders of the city defense team is not light."

I looked at him with a froze gaze, and I was right, if there was a problem in the rear or even a spy was mixed in, it was also possible if a fire broke out in the backyard and disturbed the situation.

The empress's prudence is completely justified!

Tianfang's eyes flickered, looked out the window and said, "Little junior sister, there are still a few hours for you to prepare, you can also rest here." ”

"Senior brother, let's go out of the city in the evening and go directly to the riverside, do you want to walk at night?"

I speculated for a moment of silence, then looked up at Tianfang and asked.

"It's up to you." Tianfang looked at me with deep eyes and suddenly smiled, "Little junior sister, if you want to make progress faster than others, we might as well rush to the water at night." ”

"The people on board are carefully selected and experienced, and night travel is not a problem."

"If you're not in a hurry at all," Tianfang paused, his gaze running across my face. Then he said softly, "Then feel free, and tell me when you get on the boat." ”

He said a few words. Turning around and exiting the door, he gently closed the door for me.

As the wind in the forest outside the house increased, I couldn't help but feel a little confused as I listened to the sound of the leaves blowing by the wind outside.

By the time the day came, I was already a little restless waiting in the house.

"Little junior sister, give!" Tianfang handed over a set of clothes. When I looked down, it was clearly a men's outfit.

The sets of clothes I bought at the ready-to-wear shop, they were sent to the wagon of the winery, along with the parcels and miscellaneous items. I was sent to the boat by the river in advance.

The cupboards in the house were all good looking women's clothes for me, so what he gave me in front of me was another change of clothes.

"Senior brother, what do you say?" My eyes rolled over the suit. Turning his head to him, he asked.

"Little junior sister. I thought about it, and I felt that I would be relieved to change my appearance for you. ”

Tianfang said to me in a calm tone: "Otherwise, when I pass through the city gate, I will sweat a handful." "It's a trivial matter, senior brother, you can decide," I said calmly, "Listen to you." “

So, the scene that had been staged before was once again rehearsed upstairs in the Meixian Pavilion.

Tianfang found a lot more tools this time. In a place like Meixian Pavilion, the most important thing is rouge gouache.

Because of well-known reasons. This item in the pavilion consumes a lot.

As he reached out to draw on my face, I suddenly remembered a conversation I had with someone a long time ago.

At that time, I was full of curiosity about this place, especially when I heard that there was a special courtyard here, in fact, I said that I would have the opportunity to visit Sealand.

As a result, I did come to Sealand, and I also went to the national capital, and even lived in related places, but from the time I came in until I left this evening, I didn't even have a chance to see the legendary little courtyard.

Is this the biggest regret of Sealand Bank?!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile, and caused Tianfang to complain: "Little junior sister, don't move if you have nothing to do, otherwise the makeup will be spent." “

As soon as my mind was interrupted, the irritable feelings were relieved a lot, and the makeup was completed very quickly.

As I stood up and looked in the mirror, I was once again amazed by his work.

Yes, at that time, I was shocked! I looked at the new image in the mirror with my eyes wide open.

After a few seconds, I turned my head to look at Tianfang in anger and said, "Senior brother, why did you put a big mole on my face?" “

Tianfang's craftsmanship is excellent, and the person in the mirror is obviously a boy's face, but what is even more noticeable is the mole on the left cheek, which is simply too conspicuous!

One is enough, and he will bring me three!!

I gritted my teeth and looked at the sky, did I point the important mole three times?! "Little junior sister, you mentioned it to me when you went to the street," Tianfang carefully looked at my face and said with a deep smile, "I think it's not bad, it's just a good time to practice." “

Practice your sister!! "I'm talking about you, you attract bees and butterflies! You need it, get it off for me right away! I looked at Tianfang and said angrily

Until I went out, I didn't bother to pay attention to the carriage, let him tell jokes and tease me, I resolutely ignored him, stubbornly twisted my head out of the window, and always looked at the street scene passing by.

When the celebration was over, there were many fewer people on the road, and when there was still one turn left from the city gate, I got out of the carriage with Tianfang.

This was a plan that had been agreed upon before departure, for the carriage passing through the city gate was obviously much more noticeable than the average passer-by.

The plan was to get off the bus near the city gate first, and then I walked over with Tianfang on my own.

The coachman drove the carriage through the city gate, and then waited for us in a forest on the way.

After leaving the city gates, we went out into the woods and came with the carriage first, and met the coachman who was waiting for us.

When I got out of the carriage, I walked very fast, and Tianfang followed me closely behind me and walked through the crowd to the city gate.

"Little junior brother, you slow down." Heaven shouted behind me.

I'm still too lazy to deal with him, I really don't want to deal with him, anyway, he can't lose me, I'm sure!

The inspection at the gate of the city was really smooth, and seeing that the two of us didn't even have anything on our hands, and that we were going out of the city instead of entering the city, we were let out without much questioning.

Walking all the way to the promised forest, I saw a tea stall set up on the side of the road halfway through, I was a little tired of walking, so I walked in that direction immediately.

I asked for a bowl of hot tea, I sat down to rest, and Tianfang still followed behind, and also asked for tea and sat beside me. "I apologize to you, I apologize solemnly." After Tianfang sat down, he looked at me with a smile.

I snorted in my nostrils and glanced at him obliquely.

After drinking all the tea in the bowl in one go, Tianfang looked at me funny, and he raised his voice a little and said, "Little junior sister, why don't you do this, when you get to the boat, I'll teach you the disguise technique, haven't you always wanted to learn it?" ”

My eyes lit up, and I couldn't help but look at him, and there was a trace of doubt in my heart when I looked at it.

"Little junior sister, when the time comes, I will be the object of your trial, are you satisfied?" Tianfang coughed, winked at me with a smile.

I finally lost my breath, and secretly thought in my heart, when I tried it, I must make him a pockmarked face to get out of this sulking!

It was getting dark, and after meeting the coachman in the woods, he got into the car and hurried to the vicinity of the river.

Wait until you reach the cliff and cross a narrow winding road to reach the riverbank.

On the drawings, I saw the boat that the shopkeeper of the winery discussed with Tianfang, and when it appeared in front of my eyes, I still had a moment of emotion.

Looking at the boat, I clenched my fists secretly, and exhaled for a moment, I used to worry about it, but I always felt that I didn't see it with my own eyes, and my heart was not steady. "What are you waiting for, it's important to get on the boat quickly." Heaven beside me urged.

We boarded the boat on the gangplank, and several people in the entourage waited at the bow of the boat to watch us.

I probably glanced at the people and knew what to expect.

The oldest dark-skinned one should be the boss of the boat, and the remaining two young people, looking at their shrewd and capable appearance, can also see that they are good at kung fu, and they should be the accompanying guards.

Because of the special requirements mentioned by Tianfang, the shopkeeper of the winery was deliberate when arranging.

Therefore, there was another man on board, a chubby cook, but when Tianfang saw him, he frowned, and exchanged glances with the people waiting on the shore.

As a result, the cook was unable to stay on the ship and was driven ashore.

Such a large boat, there are only five people in total.

Tianfang nodded with satisfaction, and after some greetings, the boat slowly started.

I stood at the stern of the boat, watching the cliff gradually move away from us, and the few people who saw us off were getting smaller and smaller, and finally I couldn't see it, and a sentimental feeling swelled up in my heart for no reason.

Turning around and approaching the specially requested galley at the stern of the boat, the richness of the gary was still beyond my imagination. (To be continued......)
