Chapter 35: Heading North

The old man saw Ye Jinqing's dazed face, and he looked completely unaware, Su Xuan, this kid is really more and more capable as he lives, so he just got a person to go to Zhenbei Pass. Dai Lao briefly talked about the causes and consequences, but Ye Jinqing was still in a fog when he heard it. Su Xuan asked Dai Lao to rush to Zhenbei Pass, which is very reasonable, Dai Lao is proficient in medical skills, and he is good at external injuries, and what Zhenbei Pass lacks most now is a medical saint like Dai Lao. But at such an urgent juncture, Su Xuan also asked Dai Lao to delay his departure for a few days, and deliberately brought himself, what does this mean?

If Ye Jinqing knew about the current situation in the Great Yuan Kingdom, she might be able to guess some of Su Xuan's intentions.

For Su Xuan, how important Ye Jinqing is now, so important that he can only feel at ease if he is by his side. Without her, his letter to Bishan would have lost its weight.

Ye Jinqing thought about it, and after not figuring it out, he focused his attention on the book in his hand. One afternoon, except for some dry food in the middle, Ye Jinqing was reading the book, and occasionally asked Dai Lao, who was sitting on the side, if he didn't understand something. came and went, the old and the young became familiar with each other. In the evening, the carriage finally stopped, and Ye Jinqing couldn't wait to get out of the car and stretch. I didn't realize it when I was reading, but now I feel a sore back.

Hearing the sound of the car curtain being lifted again, Ye Jinqing hurriedly turned around and said, "Dai Lao, I'll help you." ”

Dai Lao smiled and said: "An An, the old man doesn't want to serve the old man yet." ”

Although he said so, Dai Lao still got out of the carriage with Ye Jinqing's men. Su Zhe on the side looked at this scene, he didn't expect that Ye Jinqing, who didn't have much respect for his master, would have great respect for Dai Laohui.

Ye Jinqing watched a few guards skillfully sweep out a small area of camping open space between the woods, and a stove had been set up in the middle of the clearing, some people went to get firewood, some went to fetch water, and some went to the mountains and forests to try their luck to see if there was any game.

These people have a clear division of labor and do things in an orderly manner, and it seems that they are all used to practicing their families.

Of course, Su Zhe was not idle, and gathered around a few people to support the tent.

Among them, the most idle ones are Ye Jinqing and Dai Lao, one of them is still young, the other is old, and these physical jobs really can't help much.

As soon as the tent was set up, the guards who had gone to the jungle returned with three pheasants with colored feathers. Everyone who was still busy seeing this couldn't help but be happy.

Although the amount of game in these three is not much, they can still fight tooth sacrifices. This day is all on the horse, only a little bit of hard and tasteless dry food has been gnawed in the middle, these old men saw that there was meat, all of them were beaten with chicken blood, and they worked harder.

One of them finished his work first, and then went to brush the cauldron and boil hot water. Immediately after that, one of them brought a large bundle of firewood.

The chickens were killed, the feathers were removed, and the last three pheasants were strung on branches and roasted on the fire.

It was getting dark, and the people sat around the fire, leaving only a few sentry posts.

Ye Jinqing looked at the chicken on the fire, the chicken skin was roasted golden, and the chicken fat came out, dripping into the fire from time to time, making a "snort", and Ye Jinqing, who was fragrant, swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

Su Zhe took the lead and took down one of the chickens, "You can divide the rest." ”

The remaining five or six men heard this, and ran to the two remaining chickens with a snort.

"Mr. Dai." Su Zhi respectfully handed the chicken to Dai Lao first.

Dai Lao waved his hand and said, "I'm old, so I won't eat these greasy foods." ”

Su Zhen responded, and then handed the chicken to Ye Jinqing, Ye Jinqing knew that he was just hungry, and he had eaten two large pieces of steamed bread before, so he just asked for a chicken wing.

Su Zhe then took the remaining chicken wings and walked towards his subordinates.

Ye Jinqing wrapped the chicken wings with a handkerchief, and was so greedy that he didn't care about the hot mouth, so he took a bite. I can't help but be a little disappointed when I take a bite, although this roast chicken smells fragrant, it can't help but be a little light and tasteless.

Dai Lao didn't know what was going on when he saw Ye Jinqing's disappointed face, they didn't come out to enjoy the mountains and rivers this time, how could they bring some spices like salt or something.

"An An, you go to the carriage, in the medicine box, in the small drawer at the bottom, take something and sprinkle it, and make sure it's delicious."

"Really?" Ye Jinqing wrapped the chicken wings in a handkerchief, carefully placed them on the ground, trotted all the way, and got into the carriage.

On the bonfire not far away, Ye Jinqing opened the small drawer and found a few small porcelain bottles. I vaguely saw a note pasted on it with tangerine peel, fennel, and nutmeg.

Ye Jinqing took these small bottles away in one go, and returned to the bonfire, only to see her pinching the small porcelain bottle, tapping the bottle with her index finger, and the powdery stuff inside was sprinkled on the chicken wings.

Ye Jinqing picked up the chicken wings again, took a bite, the fragrance between the teeth, and the tangerine peel relieved the oiliness of the roast chicken, which was really delicious.

After eating and drinking, Ye Jinqing remembered a big problem, although she was dressed as a man, she was a real daughter, but there were only two tents in total. Ye Jinqing glanced at the carriage, she was petite, and it was not too crowded to sleep in the carriage.

Ye Jinqing took a gap and came to Su Zhe: "Su Zhe, can I sleep in the carriage tonight?" ”

In fact, Su Zhe was also struggling with this before, knowing that Su An was a little girl, obviously the master cared about her very much, and he couldn't let Su An and their big men squeeze together.

He was still thinking about whether to vacate a tent and stay outside with his subordinates, but he didn't expect Su An to suddenly mention this.

Su Zhe looked at the carriage and nodded in agreement. But he led the carriage into the camp, he didn't forget it, he said in front of his master that he would take Su An to Zhenbei Pass unharmed.

The night was peaceful, Su Zhe and they had people taking turns to guard all night, and Ye Jinqing slept very peacefully.

The next few days are almost like this, but the further north you go, the colder the weather becomes, and the harder it is to find the game, and Ye Jinqing and his party have been vegetarian for several days.

Ye Jinqing shrank in the carriage, although there was carbon in the carriage, Ye Jinqing still felt the cold wind coming in through some cracks in the wall of the carriage.

But fortunately, she found a pure white fox fur from a package handed to her by Su Zhe, and covered the fox fur on her body, which was much better.

"Dai Lao, you warm your hands with a hand stove." Ye Jinqing took out a small hand stove, which was also prepared by Su Zhe.

"No, An An, you better cover it yourself."

Ye Jinqing stuffed the hand stove over and said with a smile: "Dai Lao, you should use it, I have this." ”

After speaking, Ye Jinqing touched the fox fur, it was fluffy and very comfortable.

Dai Lao looked at the fox fur, he had been in Su Xuan's mansion for several years, of course, he could see at a glance that this fox fur was extraordinary.

Seeing that although Ye Jinqing has not grown, but her current appearance is not bad, Dai Lao secretly thought, Su Xuan's kid's vision is really good, this little girl will definitely not be bad if she grows up for a few years.

Hmph, Su Xuan, this kid, deliberately let An An, the girl, dress up as a man, but he was still seen by the old man at a glance. In the garrison mansion of Zhenbei Pass, Su Xuan was discussing things with Zhou Kairen on the side, and suddenly felt a slight itch in his ears. Could it be because he has been meddling in the affairs of Beiguan in this town in the past few days, and he has been remembered again, Su Xuan smiled helplessly.

At noon that day, Ye Jinqing was dozing off in a daze, and suddenly heard a little commotion outside the carriage, and heard someone shouting that Zhenbei Pass had arrived.

Ye Jinqing suddenly sobered up, hurriedly opened the window next to him a crack, and vaguely saw the gray city wall stretching for miles. This is Zhenbei Pass!
