Yao Shaohua gave a limited amount of time, they brought dry food on the road, and when they were hungry, they would nibble on horseback and nibble a few mouthfuls of dry food, and only when the night was like ink and they couldn't see the road ahead clearly, they would look for the nearest inn to stay.

They are simple in everything, and naturally they are not remembered.

After more than ten days, after passing through the sixteen states of Youyun, he arrived at the territory of the Khitan.

Chang Steward has been to the Khitan more than once, and he is very familiar with the way, and he took Su Fu to Linhuang Mansion on Shangjing Road, which is the capital of the Khitan.

The Khitan is different from the south and the north, the vast prairie is reflected in front of them, and the green spreads infinitely, spreading into their eyes, which is the farthest place Su Fu has ever been.

Steward Chang took her to knock on the door of a house, and a sturdy servant came out, and the servant said a few words, and Steward Chang nodded slightly and replied.

She didn't understand, probably Khitan.

When the servant closed the door again, she turned her head sideways and asked, "Chang Guan knows Khitan?" ”

When the steward heard this, he just nodded silently and stopped talking.

But after a cup of tea, the servant opened the door again, and after a few words, he stretched out his hand to invite them in, and the steward answered and led her in.

In terms of this courtyard alone, it is not much different from the courtyard of the Han people, or it may be imitated by the Han system.

A servant led them to a side hall, where two rows of low tables were side by side, and on one side of the low table were woolen mats spread flat on the ground.

The steward knelt on the wool mat, and Su Fu sat beside the steward as usual.

The servant on the side brought two bowls, and inside the bowls were milky white liquid, which tasted a little strange.

She looked at Chang Guan in confusion, and Chang Guan explained in a low voice, "This is goat's milk." ”

There are often herds of cattle and sheep on the grassland, just like tea is produced in the south, and the grassland produces milk.

After a while, someone walked into the side hall, with a rugged appearance, a sturdy body, and a luxurious robe, lying on the tiger skin couch on the side, and then spoke, "Why did you come so early this year?" ”

The words spoken were authentic Central Plains official dialects.

When Chang Guan heard this, his expression couldn't help but be a little uncomfortable, and then he said, "Brother Xiao, that's the case, this year's Ming Qian tea picking time has passed a few days, and the tea bricks are not in good condition, so the young master asked me to come over and ask if you can give you a few days, and then transport it when the tea is baked before the rain." ”

Chang Steward's voice fell, and the person known as Brother Xiao had an unswerving look on his face, and said coldly, "The dignitaries and nobles here are waiting, how can you let me explain to them?" ”

Chang Guan was embarrassed, "This is not bad for a few days, and when we rush back, the tea will probably arrive before the rain." ”

Xiao Ling snorted coldly, "You guys are roasting me on the fire." ”

After speaking, he was extremely dissatisfied, "Probably because the master thinks that I haven't listened to him much in the past two years, and is ready to abandon me!" ”

Chang Steward hurriedly waved his hand, "Brother Xiao, you think too much, we all know the master's personality, since we are brothers, he will never give up on you, it is really because of the tea garden, I am afraid that you will be condemned by the Khitan dignitaries, so I specially came to see you." ”

However, Xiao Ling did not believe this statement.

"I've done so many things for my master, a few days ago, Yingzhou Thorn Shi of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures went to Changle Mansion, and the master obviously wanted to change people to do eyeliner, you don't know about me?"

Xiao Ling was angry, so he didn't care about saying something rebellious, Chang Guan just wanted to stop it, but it was a little late, "Brother Xiao, you can't talk nonsense." ”

Steward Chang subconsciously glanced at Su Fu.

Xiao Lingcai doesn't matter who he is, he has been in the Khitan for so many years, and he has been more or less contaminated with the temperament of the Khitan, and he was originally a man from the north.

"You don't need to persuade me, this thing has to be poked out so that I can save my life."

After speaking, Xiao Ling looked at Su Fu again, "This little brother, when you go back, remember to meet more people and say that if you save my life, I will definitely repay you." ”

Su Fu didn't respond, just silently looked straight ahead, his eyes and nose looked at his nose, and his nose and heart did not move.

Chang Steward was very satisfied with Su Fu's expression at this time, he was worthy of being a little clever person, but he couldn't let Xiao Ling continue to speak unscrupulously, so he quickly stopped talking.

"This little brother is coming to Khitan for the first time, and he will have to deal with him more in the future, don't scare him."

Steward Chang is right, the people who are selected to come to the Khitan are either loyal or have only a dead end.

Xiao Ling sneered, "If you want to take this road, you can't be cowardly." ”

However, Xiao Ling is not a brainless person, and it is his code of conduct to see through it or not to say it.

Chang was in charge but smiled silently, picked up the goat milk on the low table, drank a few sips, and then said to Su Fu, "This goat milk is the most beautiful for women, and it is not bad for men, you can taste it." ”

Su Fu responded, picked up the bowl, and took a sip, without the unpleasant smell he imagined, he could still accept it.

The three of them had been sitting in the side hall for more than an hour, and Xiao Ling called a servant to lead them to the guest room, where she and Steward Yao lived.

After a long journey of more than ten days, he was naturally very sleepy, so he had a good meal and slept in the house.

On the second day, she got up and walked around the courtyard, but saw yesterday's servants facing a pair headed by a richly dressed son.

She waited there until the steward came, and then told him about it.

Steward Chang frowned and asked her to go back first, but he went towards the side hall.

Even though she was curious, she couldn't force her to stay any longer, so she had to go back to the room where she lived.

At the time of a stick of incense, the steward came back from the side hall, and his face was completely dark, and it was not good-looking.

She greeted her out and asked, "But what happened?" ”

The steward did not hide it, and said bluntly, "That group of people is a caravan from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and they have already been transported over with tea bricks at this time. ”

After he finished explaining to Su Fu, he became angry again and said sullenly, "If I hadn't come a few days earlier, I wouldn't have known that this kid Xiao Ling would have been following the tea bricks of the Southern Tang Dynasty." ”

After speaking, you sneered, "He also said that he had a hard life, and I think he is better than anyone else." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Su Fu again, "The purpose of your and my trip has been achieved, pack up the baggage, and we can leave." ”

Su Fu answered, went into the house, and closed the burden that had just been spread out yesterday, but with a cup of tea, they walked out of this Xiaoling residence.

The two horses were also brought out of the stable.

The servants in the palace hurriedly told Xiao Ling that the two guests who had just arrived yesterday had left, and Chang Guan and Su Fu had already galloped for several miles.

Xiao Ling looked at the empty courtyard and snorted angrily, "Let them go." ”

What if the matter of Nantang is poked out? He has already taken root in the Khitan, and the powerful people he has met have reached half of the Khitan world, can he still be afraid of them?

When the time comes, only they dare not lose a single soldier, and come to beg him.
