198 [It's really not a crow's mouth]
It won't really be that coincidental, just run into it!
With this in mind, the convoy set off at dawn the next day.
Although it is not as serious as crossing mountains and mountains along the way, it is basically crossed in the middle of the two mountains.
As expected, before dark, he walked out of the mountain road safely and entered the territory of Yuzhou.
The convoy rested under a sloping cliff, and the personnel basically rested directly on the carriages and goods, and the outer periphery was the firm's own martial artists, as well as long-term cooperative dart masters.
Lin Zhiqi's carriage was naturally close to the mountain wall with the goods.
"Hongyi, you take Jin Zhu to find Aunt Miao, tell Aunt Miao, take a quilt from the carriage and give it to Young Master Cousin."
Sitting on the edge of the fire, Lin Zhiqi commanded Hongyi.
Rong Ziyu, who was on the other side of the fire, thanked him, "Trouble Cousin Qi." ”
Although the weather is warm now, it is still quite cold outdoors at night, even if the brothers sleep in the carriage, they are still "delicate" in the end, and they are not as good as Rong Ziyao's physique that is used to marching and fighting.
"There are a lot of quilts on the peach blossom carriage! Are you afraid of the cold? Eiko Qi said curiously.
"I recognize the bed, and when I go out, I have to recognize the quilt."
As soon as these words came out, the brothers looked at each other, a little embarrassed.
[The quilt that my cousin slept on, this ......]
Lin Zhiqi smiled and explained: "There are spare quilts that have not been used, don't worry!" "Even if she forgot this kind of thing for a while, how could Aunt Miao and the others forget. So. She wasn't worried at all that the quilt she had slept on would be taken out.
Sure enough, when the two brothers heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief. And then on to others.
"I didn't know there was such a shortcut?" Rong Ziyu said.
By the route they knew. Naturally, there are villages or post stations along the way, but caravan transportation, under the premise of ensuring safety, is naturally as fast as possible, and time is money!
"I don't know, there is no travel record given by Brother Jue. When the time comes, write it all down and go back to him. Lin Zhiqi said.
Hearing the mention of Yang Jue, Rong Ziqi asked, "Peach Blossom Essence." Is the short cousin going to take the children's exam this year? ”
"Huh? Isn't Jue Ge'er only eight years old? Coming to an end? Rong Ziyu was surprised.
Lin Zhiqi said: "It's almost ten years old, anyway, I don't expect him to be admitted, it's a kind of life experience!" After all, what Jue Ge'er usually learns is not the knowledge of the "serious" imperial examination at all. Of course. If you can get in. It will only do more good than harm to him.
Speaking of life, Lin Zhiqi asked Rong Ziyu, "Speaking of which, what will Cousin Yu do in the future?" Your eldest brother is a general, and the fat man is now the son of the world, and he will inherit the Guogong Mansion in the future, so what about you? ”
"Me?" Rong Ziyu smiled, "Of course it's a big guy who occupies the ancestral shade!" ”
"I'm so unambitious." Lin Zhiqi commented.
Rong Ziqi was envious. "I also want to be a gentleman, just like the second brother."
"Then should! And no one said that when you become a son, you can't be a gentleman. Lin Zhiqi said.
"Huh? May I? ”
"Of course you can!"
"But grandmother won't let me!"
"Don't let what?"
"I don't want to be a son. I just want to be a gentleman. As soon as Rong Ziqi said it, he was scolded by Rong Ziyu, "Why did the third brother say this again, grandfather and grandmother will definitely beat you if they know it." ”
Eiko shrunk her neck as if she was afraid, and muttered in her mouth.
Rong Ziyu smiled and said to Lin Zhiqi: "The third brother is playful, and my grandfather is strict, so sometimes he is impatient." Cousin Qi, don't care. ”
Lin Zhiqi blinked, in fact, because of the existence of mind reading, she knew what the Rong family didn't want Rong Zi to be the son of, but seeing that their brothers had a good relationship, and she was an outsider, so she didn't pay attention to it seriously.
Since Rong Ziyu said so, she also smiled and uncovered this stubble.
And Rong Ziqi secretly looked at the expressions of Wei Xing and the few guards who came with him after saying those words.
……
Dinner was very simple, a big pot of rice porridge with steamed buns and pickles. Lin Zhiqi asked the apple to add an extra handful of dried vegetables and minced meat to the porridge.
The hot porridge went down to the stomach and dispelled the chill of the night. Some buddies, martial artists, and dart masters will also drink a sip or two of wine, of course, no one will dare to drink more, just keep warm.
Hongyi and Jin Zhu gathered around a few dart masters and listened to them talk about the delivery of darts in the past.
"And there are robbers here, too?" Hongyi asked curiously.
Jin Zhu looked a little scared.
The dart master who spoke looked heroic, "Hahaha, it is said to be a robber, but in fact it is just a refugee who has no food, and he ran away after being scared." ”
"But I heard that bandits are rampant in the Eshan area!" Rong Ziyu also got up, these sons are still very interested in these stories, not to mention that the Rong family is from a military background, but there are few natural disasters in Xingzhou, and the people are already martial and strong, and there are no bandits breeding.
"That's true." The dart master said, "However, the route we took is far away from Eshan, and after the civil unrest last year, there have been Shouzhou Army and Yizhou Army wandering around here, and we are walking along this road, which is very safe." ”
Then, he also fulfilled everyone's request and told the legend of the Eshan bandits.
Rong Ziqi followed Rong Ziyu's side and listened interestingly, the Eshan bandits were the guys who later mixed up with the Shouzhou assassins.
Lin Zhiqi is also interested in such stories, but unfortunately, there are a bunch of stinky men over there, she just wants to go over, and Aunt Miao doesn't let her, just listens with her ears from afar.
"It is said that the bandits sometimes sneak up on the passing caravans at night, often in the dead of night, in the second half of the night, when people are most asleep, sneak in, touch your side, stab you with a dagger, and kill you directly."
"It's terrible, miss, don't listen to that, let's go back to the carriage!" Lychee pulled Lin Zhiqi to the carriage.
Lin Zhiqi couldn't cry or laugh, "This is the story, what's there to be afraid of, you can't be when those bandits in Eshan suddenly appear in front of you on horseback." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, which alerted the people in the resting place all of a sudden.
"Miss...... "QAQ [You're talking nonsense again.] 】
Angela Lam: "......"
"How can it be so accurate! Maybe it's just someone passing by in a hurry. Lin Zhiqi pulled away the hand that was holding the lychee and grabbed her arm.
This statement is naturally possible, but it is not safe to walk at night, and few people will choose it this way, not to mention listening to the sound of horses' hooves, there are still a lot of people!
Although the situation was unknown, the shopkeeper Qin still hurried over and let Lin Zhiqi and the Rong brothers stay in the carriage first to ensure safety. (To be continued......)
