At the same time, Xiang Yan also received a message from Yuan Hongxuan, she quickly disposed of the paper roll, and quietly told the news to Miao Zhi, who was originally dozing in the car.

The carriage and horses were tiring for several days, although they also stayed at inns and hotels on the way, but after all, they were a few. There are many people walking in the group, and it is not surprising that they cannot reach a fixed place at a fixed time.

Last night, they still didn't arrive at the expected foothold, and seeing that it was getting late, the two young generals who escorted them could only once again order their soldiers to start building camping tents.

Although the tent where Miao Zhi and Zhaohua lived was the most forgiving and comfortable among them, in the wild, the cold wind was bleak, and no matter how thick the tarpaulin was, it couldn't withstand the biting cold wind in the middle of the night, and it woke her up several times.

Eating is not as good as at home, most of the days are air-dried pancakes or steamed buns, drinking some boiled goat's milk or tea. After a few meals, Miao Zhi's stomach was a little unbearable, and she was always tossing and turning for the past few days.

That's it, Zhaohua heard the sound of her losing her temper or smashing things all day long, but fortunately, the eldest brother expected everything, and the dim sum of 'Mingyuefang' and the sour plum she loved to eat were quietly stuffed into her.

As princesses, their treatment has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the soldiers who escorted them on foot are even more difficult, they do the hardest things every day, wear heavy armor, but eat the worst, often half a dry bun, they can't even drink hot water, sleep in the open at night, more than a dozen of them are crammed into a small tent, not even a bedding, just simply spread some hay, and lean together to warm and rest.

The long line continued to move, Xu is dusk again, everyone was almost listless, hungry, Miao Zhi felt sorry for Ning Er and Xiang Yan, and let them get into their own Luan car as soon as they left the city, her action undoubtedly made the little palace maids around Zhaohua red.

The soldier who had gone out to inquire about the route quickly ran back and pointed at the leading general and said something. After hearing this, the general immediately came to his senses, and Le Ma turned back to the team behind him to convey the good news he had just heard.

"Everyone cheer up, walk more than ten miles to reach Yintai City, when we arrive at Yintai City, we can have a hot meal tonight and have a good night's sleep."

This is undoubtedly an exciting good news for the tired people, everyone has a happy face when they hear it, and their spirits have recovered a lot.

Miao Zhi was also very happy to hear it, just now Xiang Yan told him that Yintai City is almost as prosperous as Xinjin City, which means that the team can have a good rest here, and can also make up for the materials consumed in the past few days, and Xiang Yan also said that Yintai City is also the place where she and Zhaohua and her party parted ways.

It's really good, every day I hear Zhaohua shrew scolding the street as if it is noisy, and she also comes to complain to herself from time to time, and even takes the opportunity to get close to the eldest brother, wiping tears and pretending to be pitiful in front of their brothers and sisters all day long, which is simply annoying. Now it's okay, it's about to be separated from this plague god, how can it not make people happy.

Everyone had hope in their hearts, and they had strength under their feet, and finally arrived at the so-called Yintai City when it was just dark.

The person who came out to pick them up was the county magistrate in the city, named Li Hao, forty years old, not tall, and his appearance did not have any protruding features, but his walking style of one meter three and one meter four on the foot of the slope made people remember it immediately.

That night, Miao Zhi and Zhaohua were arranged in the mansion of the county magistrate, and the rest of the people all lived in a restaurant called Fumanlou in Yintai City.

It was easy to take a comfortable bath, and all the fatigue of the past few days was swept away, and the bedding was soft and fragrant, so that Miao Zhi, who had slept on a hard bed for a few days, couldn't even close her mouth with joy.

The dinner was personally sent by the wife of the Li Governor's Mansion, don't look at the Li Governor's Mansion is not very good-looking, this lady is very beautiful, with plump breasts and fat buttocks, a face like peach blossoms, and a clever mouth in the end, which makes people listen to it very comfortably.

The dinner is a standard four-dish and one-soup, as well as a plate of roasted osmanthus warm duck with burnt outside and tender inside, which is particularly fragrant when smelled from afar, which is undoubtedly a sumptuous dinner for a few people who have never been exposed to meat for a few days.

When the lady retreated with a flattering smile, the three of them moved their fingers and began to feast, dividing five by two to solve the four dishes and one soup.

******

The night was quiet, Yuan Hongxuan and his party stayed in the good re-inn in the city, the light in the room was a little dim, and there was only a faint kerosene lamp on the table, and the black smoke curled up, rising into the air along the firelight.

"Your Highness, Miss Miaozhi and they have arrived in Yintai City, and they will be separated from Princess Zhaohua's men tomorrow." Qin Guan handed over a small note, turned around and took a piece of raw meat to feed the flower carving standing on the shelf.

Yuan Hongxuan only glanced at it, and then lit the note, "Tomorrow, the two groups of them will be separated, how many of them are there?" I heard that out of Yintai City, the road to the east is basically barren mountains and mountains, and there are often robbers and bandits, I hope they have a safe journey! ”

His face was still cold, but there was a hint of worry in his tone.

Qin Guan scratched the fluff under the neck of the flower carving, "In addition to the little girl, there are two maidservants in the team, and the other three are soldiers disguised as escorts. Several of them have all achieved martial arts, and they will not put Miss Miao Zhi in danger, Your Highness can rest assured! ”

He paused, and then said, "It's us, who live with the Eastern Yuan envoys who came to pick up their relatives, and our subordinates are worried that they will find out. ”

As soon as Qin Guan's hand left Hua Diao's neck, the eagle began to snort dissatisfied, but then Yuan Hongxuan's cold and piercing eyes made this sturdy and fierce eagle immediately hang his head.

"We're not living here for those TECO people." Yuan Hongxuan picked up a wooden skewer and flicked the wick that was lying in the oil, "Have you forgotten that when the sixth wilted old man talked to us today, he also mentioned another group of people." ”

When Qin Guan heard this, he tilted his head and recalled, "Why does Your Highness care about that group of people, does Your Highness suspect that their purpose here is not pure?" ”

Today, the old six did mention a group of people, seven or eight of them, who arrived some time earlier than them, and also stayed at the inn again. The sixth man also said that the accents of these people were very similar to them, and they also asked for tea at the tea stall at the city gate a few days ago.

This can't help but make people wonder, what are these people who are also from Xinjin City choosing to come here at this time?

As soon as they checked into the inn, they contacted their brother who had arrived earlier, and it was certain that it was not their people.

Yuan Hongxuan sat on the chair, coldly looking at the flickering fire on the wick, holding a cup of tea and sipping gently, his intuition has always been sharp, this group of people must not have come here for no reason, so it is better to be careful. (To be continued.) )
