Chapter 67
An Qingchen continued to drive forward, walked for about two hours, and finally faintly saw a stone tablet. She pulled over again and came down to check. From what she could see on the map, there seemed to be more than a little bit of road from the hillside to the border. Seeing that the carriage had stopped, Xian'er also got out of the carriage and asked, "Childe, what's wrong?" ”
"I look at this monument, it seems that it has just been buried, and I am afraid that it has taken the wrong path."
Xian'er jumped with her eyebrows, but said quietly: "Childe, the old man also said just now that this road is newly opened by the government, and maybe this monument realm is also Xin'an, and it is unknown." ”
Qingchen listened to Xian'er's words and glanced at her deeply, this woman who didn't even know her surname but still insisted on following her, and she didn't know what the details were, Qingchen planned to part ways with her when she arrived in Nanzhao, she couldn't leave a stranger by her side.
Xian'er was a little hairy by her, she pretended to be shy, bowed her head and said, "Childe looks at Xian'er like this, Xian'er will blush." ”
Weathered. The woman in the dust will still blush, and Qingchen will not say anything, only said: "Get in the car." So he got into the carriage first.
Xian'er was worried and hurriedly climbed into the car without saying a word.
Qingchen thought carefully in her heart, she hadn't seen any more pursuers along the way, she didn't think that Zhou Xiao's Praetorian Guards would be so incompetent, even a weak woman like her couldn't catch up, of course, she had a certain amount of kung fu, but there was no shortage of masters in the Praetorian Guards......
With this thought in mind, the carriage had crossed the border and entered a new kingdom. Qingchen raised his eyes and saw that there was no one in the vast grassland, so he had to wave another whip and urge the carriage forward, and the two women must find a place to stay before nightfall. Fortunately, the carriage that the peasant woman was looking for was still genuine, and although it had been running for a long time, she still did not get tired. After about two more hours, just as both of them were hungry and exhausted, there was finally a sign of human activity in the distance.
When he got closer, it was actually a small town, Qingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and after leaving the Great Zhou, he found a place to stay, and then he could slow down and walk slowly, and find a quiet place to settle.
Southern Tang, Shengjing.
Gu Qianli took a note from the carrier pigeon, looked at it, handed it to Nan Fengyu, and said, "Young master, Miss An has arrived in Nantang, and is now about to enter Longmen Town, a town in the northernmost part of Yecheng. ”
Nan Fengyu was overjoyed, took the note and read it again, and instructed: "Take care of it all the way, prepare the best restaurant and the best inn in Yecheng first, and send her a few sets of clothes. ”
Gu Qianli was about to leave, and Nan Fengyu said again: "Wait, pass the message to Ye Xiaoqi, the battle in Xiyuan, you can slow down for a while, and order to go down, don't hurt General An." Also, order the wind brake to prepare for the armistice. ”
"Young Master, at present, my Southern Tang Dynasty is in a state of collapse, why do you want a truce?" Gu Qian asked puzzled.
"General Anguo of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not an idle person, and I am afraid that more soldiers will die on the battlefield if we fight again."
Gu Qian left to receive the order.
Nanfeng Yu took out a blood jade phoenix hairpin from his arms, looked at it carefully for a long time, and sighed: Qingchen, you are finally here!
Great Zhou Kyoto, Huayang Hall.
Zhou Xiao grimaced and asked, "No news yet?" ”
The commander of the Praetorian Guard knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, our people have been obstructed by a mysterious force several times and have not been able to approach Miss's carriage. ”
Zhou Xiao smashed the tea bowl in his hand to the ground, and said angrily: "Is my Great Zhou Praetorian Guard so incompetent, even a woman can't be recovered." In fact, Zhou Xiao also knew in his heart that this woman, even if he chased it in person, he might not be able to recover it.
"Emperor Qiqi, those people in black are very similar to the people of the Flame Alliance, the ministers have fought with them, and they will never admit their mistakes."
"Flame Alliance! Why did the Flame Alliance take away the dust? "Mo Feichen'er's identity is known to them, and they want to threaten General An with her.
"Your subordinates are incompetent!"
"Continue to track her down, and be sure to recover her before Chen'er leaves the Great Zhou." If it really falls into the hands of the Southern Tang Dynasty, according to the insidious nature of Nanfeng Yu, his dust is probably in danger......
"Command!"
An Qingchen drove the carriage and finally arrived at the entrance of the town, and when she looked up, it turned out to be Longmen Town, such a remote town, with such a domineering name, she couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Xian'er also opened the curtain and looked out, and couldn't help but "huh" when she saw the three words "Longmen Town".
Qingchen asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Childe, as far as Xian'er knows, this Longmen Town seems to be the land of the Southern Tang Dynasty, isn't Childe going to Nanzhao?"
An Qingchen was shocked, she seemed to have indeed seen the place Longmen Town on the map, and at that time she thought that this name was quite familiar, and it was a place name that often appeared in martial arts movies.
"Childe, it must be the old man who chopped wood to deceive us." Xian'er pursed her red lips, revealing a hint of girlish innocence.
It doesn't hurt to come to the Southern Tang Dynasty, but at this time the Southern Tang and the Great Zhou are at war, if the Southern Tang knows that she is the daughter of the Great Zhou Anguo General, it will definitely put her father in danger. But if you make a detour to Nanzhao again, you are afraid of encountering pursuers again.
If it comes, it will be safe. Qingchen decided to stay in Nantang for a while, and wait for Zhou Xiao to relax his vigilance before leaving for Nanzhao.
The idea was certain, and her heart suddenly relaxed, and she hit her horse into the town. At this time, it was already afternoon, and there were not many pedestrians on the road, Qingchen decided to find an inn to stay in first, and then, she found that the largest inn in the town had a louder name "Dragon Gate Inn".
An Qingchen and Xian'er stayed in this "Dragon Gate Inn" and asked for two upper rooms. As soon as I entered the room, Xiao Er knocked on the door and brought in a few dishes of side dishes, a pot of tea, and various pastries.
Qingchen was puzzled and said, "Shop, we didn't call these." ”
Xiao Er said diligently: "Guest officer, these are all free gifts from this store, and the guest officer also knows that business is not good these days, and our Longmen Inn is a repeat customer, so naturally we have to let the guest officer come comfortably and go satisfied." ”
Seeing that Xiao Er was talking energetically, Qingchen happily accepted it, and decided that if he came here in the future, he would definitely stay at this Dragon Gate Inn.
Just finished eating snacks and drinking tea, Xiao Er knocked on the door again, this time bringing hot water for washing, a big bucket full, and a female owner of a ready-to-wear shop.
Qingchen thought, this may also be the special service of the inn, so he didn't ask more, and picked a royal blue brocade robe, the workmanship is very good, and the price is also very favorable. I really can't imagine that in such a border town in ancient times, there is such a good one-stop service, no less than a modern five-star hotel!
Qingchen took out a certain amount of broken silver and wanted to reward Xiao Er, but Xiao Er resigned again and again, saying: "The guest officer is kind, but the store stipulates that you cannot receive a reward from the guest officer, small heart collar, thank you guest officer!" ”
There is no tip, Qingchen appreciates this "Dragon Gate Inn" even more, and it really has the style of "old famous store". Qingchen ate and drank to his heart's content, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and suddenly felt refreshed. She went out, came to the next room, knocked on the door, and said, "Xian'er open the door." ”
Xian'er opened the door and said in surprise: "Childe! ”
