Chapter 38: The Chu Family's Famous Store
"Think about what kind of enemy we're going to encounter." Lu Zhiyao turned his head to look at Shen Xing and replied softly. "Pack your things, and I'll take you around the neighborhood after dark."
Lu Zhiyao and Shen Xing were talking, and there was a knock on the door. Opening the door, Mo Xiaoying walked in and asked Lu Zhiyao in a low voice: "Go out for a walk?" ”
Lu Zhiyao didn't say anything, just looked at her, and then Mo Xiaoying said again: "Let's go, Jun Fan is with us." ”
Lu Zhiyao saw that the two had already agreed, so she had no reason to refuse. took Shen Xing out of the house together, leaving Yunfei, Geng Zhengxin and Bailichen waiting at the inn, walking on the street, standing in the flow of people, Lu Zhiyao was somewhat uncomfortable.
A few people just walked around the inn, and by the way, they confirmed whether Lin Mubai's army could be stationed here.
After eating, when the sky was getting dark, Lu Zhiyao sent Shen Xing back, and Xuanyuan Junfan came to Yongcheng, found the location of the granary, and stood in the distance and looked there.
It can be seen that the defense of the periphery is far beyond what they thought before, and Lin Yinan does not intend to give them any chance to succeed.
"What should I do?"
"The prince asked me?" Lu Zhiyao looked at Xuanyuan Junfan who spoke up.
"Of course." Xuanyuan Junfan nodded, "The emperor has handed over this matter to you to deal with, whether it is me or the queen, we will listen to your dispatch." ”
Lu Zhiyao chuckled, feeling that Xuanyuan Junfan's words were a little too good.
"Then should I delay for a few more days and enjoy the taste of being a master?" Lu Zhiyao's gaze was fixed in the direction in the distance, and there were about fifty soldiers that could be seen with his eyes alone, and he didn't know how many there would be.
"Let's go, let's go in and have a look."
Lu Zhiyao made a decision, and the three of them acted together.
Because Lu Zhiyao had previous experience in fighting with Xuanyuan Junfan, he had a good idea of what his skills were. As for Na Mo Xiaoying, although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Zhiyao thought that Xuanyuan Haotian would not send a person who was dragging his feet. And the facts have proved that what she thinks is not wrong at all, Mo Xiaoying's keen sense and her reflexes show that she belongs to the category of experienced battles.
Inside the enemy, the trio scattered. The place here is not small, Lu Zhiyao looked around, trying to find a place that could accommodate her and Shen Xing, with a relatively wide field of vision, and the distance could not be too far away from a few places where the grain was stored. Lu Zhiyao didn't plan to fight the enemy face to face at close range, that kind of thing was enough for Xuanyuan Junfan to do, and it was the best choice to let Shen Xing shoot a rocket from a distance.
Lu Zhiyao inspected the entire place in the shortest possible time, and then joined the other two and left here.
After arriving at the safety zone, Lu Zhiyao frowned and said, "I always feel that something is wrong." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Mo Xiaoying asked curiously.
"Did you just spot anyone suspicious?" Lu Zhiyao said her opinion, there, she did not find any masters who seemed to have keen observation, nor did she feel that there was such a person there.
"He wouldn't be so defenseless." Lu Zhiyao said with some uneasiness.
"It seems that you can afford Lin Yinan." Xuanyuan Junfan interjected.
"I also want to look down on him, but don't forget, Lord Wang, who suffered a loss at whose hands not long ago, and who destroyed those life-saving foods." Lu Zhiyao looked at Xuanyuan Junfan coldly and asked, "There is no bigger grain storage area than here nearby, right?" ”
"Nope."
"You wait here, I'll go around the neighborhood." After Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, he turned around and left, and Xuanyuan Junfan looked at her back and had no intention of catching up.
"Look, before we have met a real enemy, our small distance is starting to be uneasy." Xuanyuan Junfan said to Mo Xiaoying with interest.
"She can hear you." Mo Xiaoying squinted at Xuanyuan Junfan, feeling that he shouldn't say this.
It didn't take long for Lu Zhiyao to return, and she returned to her residence without saying a word, and she locked herself in her room.
Shen Xing had already picked up his bow and arrows, just waiting for Lu Zhiyao to fulfill her promise to take him out. Lu Zhiyao sat there quietly for a long time before he stood up, walked to the window and called Shen Xing over.
Lu Zhiyao jumped out of the window with Shen Xing and reached the roof, Shen Xing was startled, but he didn't scream.
After crossing a few streets, Lu Zhiyao finally stopped. Letting go of the hand that grabbed Shen Xing, she asked, "Where can you shoot the farthest place?" ”
Shen Xing looked up at her sideways, then pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind his back, and shot it out a moment later.
Lu Zhiyao only glanced at the range and smiled with satisfaction. If that's the case, then things might be much easier.
Shen Xing saw that Lu Zhiyao didn't speak, thinking that she was dissatisfied, so he was stunned and raised his hand again, ready to try again.
"That's enough." Lu Zhiyao stopped him with a voice, but he didn't want to return to the inn immediately, but sat down with his clothes brushed away, looked up at the starry sky, and chatted with Shen Xing. "Have you been there alone for most of the year?"
Shen Xing shook his head and said, "I live in the Xuanyuan Palace. ”
"Oh? Did Xuanyuan Jun teach you martial arts? "Lu Zhiyao didn't expect Xuanyuan Junfan to be so good at doing things.
"Yes." Shen Xing nodded seriously, "I was only sent there a month ago, and the prince said that you would go, so ......"
"Well, we won't be separated again." Lu Zhiyao took Shen Xing's hand and sat down, neither of them said anything, cherishing this hard-won reunion. Lu Zhiyao thought about the three children in the mountains, especially Qingmo and Qinghan.
Lu Zhiyao returned to the inn with Shen Xing very late, slept all night, and on the second day all the people went to Yongcheng to prepare for the mission.
When they arrived at their destination, they arranged Shen Xing at the foothold, and the others all went to the grain storage site to explore the surrounding environment. Just in case, several people still acted separately, Lu Zhiyao stood in the alley, looked down at the map in his hand, and thought about which way to choose to retreat, so that he could leave here and return to the border of the Qing Netherworld as soon as possible.
Suddenly, Lu Zhiyao's gaze shifted to a certain direction on his left. Quickly left, hid in the shadows, and sure enough, within a while, someone passed by.
Lu Zhiyao fixed his eyes, his expression was stunned for a moment, it was Chu Ziqian and another strange man she had never seen.
Could it be that Lin Yinan sent Chu Ziqian to guard here this time?
Lu Zhiyao watched the two gradually move away, and then looked in the direction where the two came here, and his breathing dared to return to normal recklessly.
The first time he came out, it was a tough battle, Lu Zhiyao's vision changed several times, and then it became the original cold again. This path was chosen by herself, and she should stick to it.
Returning to the foothold, Lu Zhiyao quickly drew a picture on the paper, put it on the table and said to a few other people: "These are the two routes that I think are safer, in addition to the yamen near the granary, there is a large open space, there are some residents living in this area, but there are not many people, and I suspect that there are also people from the other side lurking there." After we start, we can return to the border pass as soon as we take this road, but in this open space, we are more likely to become the target of the enemy, and once we alarm the border pass, it will be difficult to return to Qingguo safely. ”
"You sneaked over to see it last night?" Xuanyuan Junfan was a little surprised, and asked where Lu Zhiyao went last night, otherwise, she had only been there twice with them, and she could draw such detailed drawings?
"Whether to return immediately after the move, or choose to go to the yamen to hide from the limelight, and then wait for the opportunity to go back, please decide." Lu Zhiyao didn't answer Xuanyuan Junfan's question and continued to say his words.
"Yamen?" Mo Xiaoying raised her eyebrows, "How to hide?" ”
"Once there is a problem with the food, the yamen will not sit idly by, and the most dangerous place is also the safest, and it is not a good plan to avoid the enemy's pursuit there, but it will also delay the best time to leave the country of Charai."
After pondering for a while, Xuanyuan Junfan said: "Go back directly, there will be an opportunity to come here in the future, don't worry about not having time to go to the yamen to sit." ”
"Okay, if you go directly, I will prepare the carriage this afternoon, and then use it to clear the customs, I'm afraid I won't be able to get through."
Lu Zhiyao immediately made a decision and followed Xuanyuan Junfan's decision to think about the next thing. Several other people looked at her calm appearance, thinking about something.
"She is worthy of being the daughter of the general of Zhenguo." Xuanyuan Junfan opened his mouth without fear of death, which made the atmosphere in the room a little unusual.
"I'll just take it as a prince and praise me."
"I was praising you."
"Shen Xing, come out with me." Lu Zhiyao didn't look at him, and took Shen Xing out of Lu to do errands. Mo Xiaoying saw that the door was closed, and hurriedly got up and chased after him.
"Wait for me." Mo Xiaoying said: "I'm with you." ”
According to Lu Zhiyao's understanding, in addition to the dart game, there are only businessmen who often travel between the two countries. She bought two carriages, a few pieces of good fabric, and a few clothes, and ordered someone to send them to the inn, and was pulled by Mo Xiaoying to a seemingly good restaurant, ready to fill her stomach.
Lu Zhiyao only glanced at the plaque and said to Mo Xiaoying: "The things here are good." ”
"Have you eaten?"
"Hmm." Lu Zhiyao replied in a low voice, this is the Chu family's famous store, Chu Ziqian should have done things for Lin Yinan under the pretext of coming here to deal with business, right? The Chu family, who will never smash their own signboard, should be in the southern area, and those shops in the capital are considered new, so the taste of the old shops will naturally not be worse than there.
Throwing down Xuanyuan Junfan, Mo Xiaoying ordered a large table of dishes. Lu Zhiyao tasted the taste of a long-lost taste by the light, and his memory was a little vague for a while.
"It's really good!"
Mo Xiaoying will reveal her true nature as soon as she sees what she eats, and Lu Zhiyao looked at her happy appearance, and her mood also rose.
