Chapter 126: Overnight stay at the inn
"Lao Qi, you talk about you, I really don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, the girl has to send you gold in the middle of the night, such a good thing, you still have to refuse, it's really ungraceful!"
At this moment, the door that had been closed suddenly opened. The person who came out was not the Wu Qing that Mu Yuelan expected.
The gold was not stuffed out, and it was rejected one after another, and no matter how thick Mu Yuelan's face was, she couldn't hold it anymore.
"Girl's self-respect!" The seventh flashed back quickly.
As she spoke, she took out a gold ingot from her sleeve and was about to stuff it into Lao Qi's arms.
Mu Yuelan stood there and refused to leave, "Uh, I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask, is the girl inside really His Highness's maidservant?" I don't look like it! ā
"The commander is resting, girl, please go back," Lao Qi's face was expressionless, and his whole zombie face did not even have a trace of superfluous affection.
Mu Yuelan stood there and said weakly: "This big brother, I came to find Commander Wu, isn't he there?" ā
"Girl, stay, your wing is on the other side, you don't have to go from here!"
After going upstairs, Mu Yuelan wanted to have a relationship with Wu Qinglala, so she came over with a high-quality fox fur coat, but a few meters away, she was stopped by Lao Qi.
The wing room where Mu Yuelan and the others lived was not far from Wu Qing's location.
As for Da Fei and He An, how can these two goods do the work of vigil.
The rooms of several of them are not far from each other, let the sixth and seventh keep the first half of the night, and he and Yan Zhong can stay in the second half of the night.
Wu Qing recruited the sixth and seventh elders and asked them to stay outside the wing.
Mu Xiang snorted coldly, turned around and went into the house.
On the one hand, she wanted to know how Wu Qing would react, if Wu Qing took into account her identity, it would mean that she had some hope, if not......
What kind of person Helian Sheng is, she has heard too much, but she has not really seen it, so she let Ginkgo accuse and abuse them.
What the two people upstairs said embarrassed her and taught her that she couldn't refute it.
"Yuelan doesn't dare, it's not good for me to discipline my subordinates, and I also ask Commander Wu not to go to my heart," Mu Yuelan lowered her head slightly, and the hand hidden in her sleeve trembled violently.
Wu Qing also walked to her side at this time, looking at Mu Yuelan with the same attitude, her tone was slightly pitying, "What kind of person my master is, the girl should be clear, if there is no need, it is best not to talk nonsense everywhere, so as to save the last time there is nothing, the girl has no face to see people." ā
Mu Xiang withdrew her hand and looked coldly at Mu Yuelan below, "I advise Miss Mu, the people around you have to take care of it, if you don't even know what to say and what not to say, what use do you want such a person to do, isn't there anyone around Miss Mu available?" ā
Mu Yuelan's face did not move, and she was not shocked, not only her, but even the two miscellaneous servants and three guards beside her also turned a deaf ear to what happened in front of her.
"Ah......h
As soon as Ginkgo finished scolding, a black object was thrown down from downstairs, and then, everyone only heard a bang, and the black object was smashing on Ginkgo's head.
Sou! Bang!
Angry stamped his feet, "You...... You bastard, we are from the Mu family, even the emperor has to give the Mu family some face, His Royal Highness King Xiang does not dare to embarrass the Mu family, he still asks the Mu family! Who do you think you dare to talk to us like this, and when you return to Beijing, you will have your good fruits to eat! ā
Ginkgo is used to following Mu Yuelan arrogantly on weekdays, how can she hear this barbarian insulting herself.
Wu Qing and the others also went upstairs, and Da Fei was the last one.
This little girl named Ginkgo biloba has a cheap mouth and is very noisy, which is really annoying.
Although Da Fei is stupid and can't hear the voiceover, he can still understand some words. Then, as soon as the momentum was collected, "I will let you go today, don't let me meet you again next time, see you once, I will beat you once, and you, little girl, no matter what men and women give or not, I will be the same!" ā
Although it is a complaining saliva, it reveals an unquestionable order.
Mu Xiang stopped at the fence on the second floor, "Da Fei, are you really in the water?" With these people, what is there to fight, waste time, waste energy, come back to rest, and have to rush tomorrow! ā
Da Fei too, the muscles on his cheeks are shaking and shaking, and the muscles on his forehead are even more bruised.
When the three of them received their master's order, they all retreated to the side, but they were all tense and glared angrily at Da Fei.
"Stop, Miss Ben doesn't want to do anything with a vulgar person, it's just a quick tongue, what's there to worry about," Mu Yuelan also stood up and prepared to go to the wing.
The three of them came over and surrounded Da Fei.
A blatant threat, how could the three guards behind Mu Yuelan stand by and watch.
After Da Fei got up, he snorted heavily at Mu Yuelan and warned her, "Ugly woman, put away your nonsense, no matter what her identity is, don't talk nonsense, otherwise, the master's sword will definitely leave a few gaps in you!" ā
dared to order Wu Qing, and let Wu Qing obey orders willingly, how could it be the identity of a servant?
No matter how she looked at it, she felt that the girl in front of her did not look like a maidservant.
Mu Yuelan watched her stand up and watched her go upstairs.
Mu Xiang was amused by Wu Qingyi's words, "It turns out that I haven't even said anything, alas, narcissism, there must be a limit, otherwise it will really be unbearable, let's go, go back and rest, I'm tired." ā
He was worried that he wouldn't have a chance to explain to Mu Xiang, this was not just the opportunity, he had to clear up the relationship between the master and Mu Yuelan, otherwise after returning to Beijing, the master would have to pick his skin.
Wu Qing chuckled, "No, His Royal Highness hasn't spoken to her!" ā
Mu Xiang rubbed the cup, learning from Helian Sheng's usual appearance, and looked at her with a smile, "Since I am the servant girl of King Xiang, why do I need to let you see it, and why do I need to explain to you, Wu Qing, is this necessary?" ā
"When did your Highness use a handmaiden? It's always been a little servant, you...... I don't think I've ever seen it, where did you come from, and how long have you been serving Your Highness? Mu Yue Lan'e frowned, not because she didn't believe it, but because she didn't understand.
"Oh, I'm the maidservant next to King Xiang, and I was delayed on the road because of the wind and snow," Mu Xiang said magnificently.
"She ......" Wu Qing was about to explain Mu Xiang's identity. The princess is a serious princess, and they all worship the church, and they are sent to the family tree. How can you be like you, relying on your own identity, everyone knows it, but in the end, it's not true, it's just your wishful thinking.
Why is he here, sitting with a strange woman, but not by Helian Sheng's side?
She had seen Wu Qing and knew that he was the person next to Heliansheng, and he always followed Heliansheng wherever he went.
As soon as he said this, Mu Yuelan put her eyes on the other people sitting together, and finally stopped her gaze on Mu Xiang's face, and asked Wu Qing very unfriendly, "Who is she?" Why are you with her! ā
Da Fei was unhappy, "Hey, you woman, how can you sit in someone else's place casually, don't sit in so many places, just sit here, besides, we don't seem to be familiar with you!" ā
After she finished speaking, she didn't go away, but sat down in Wu Qing's seat.
Mu Yuelan's eyes dimmed again for a moment when she heard Helian Sheng's absence, "I haven't met again, heh, since it's you, then live here, and the house money will be mine." ā
If you can say this, it's not bad, do you still have to sue her, did Helian Sheng enter Beijing ahead of schedule?
Wu Qing shook off her claws, stepped aside, distanced himself from her, and replied politely but distantly, "My master is not here." ā
Thinking of this possibility, Mu Yuelan's ordinary eyes were about to glow, she ran over, grabbed Wu Qing's hand and kept asking.
"You are the commander of Wu, why are you here, shouldn't you have followed King Xiang into Beijing a long time ago? Don't...... Could it be that Helian is here too? ā
This matter, no matter how Mu Yuelan found out, she actually recognized Wu Qing, and her attitude immediately changed one hundred and eighty degrees.
But no, extraneous and reckless actions have never been her style.
"It's all over the house, then I'm very scared, oops, I'm so scared ......" Mu Xiang made a look of fear of death. In fact, at this time, she could completely take out the jade pendant given by Helian Sheng, and she didn't need to say anything, just put the jade pendant in front of their eyes, and these people all had to shut up.
The two miscellaneous servants behind Mu Yuelan also stood up at this time, "I said that my young lady is the future princess Xiang, do you dare to make a mistake, aren't you afraid of being beheaded all over the house and dying without a corpse?" ā
"You...... What are you doing? My young lady also brings people, and we are not afraid of you! ā
Wu Qing stood up suddenly, and Ginkgo looked at his posture and thought that he was going to fight, so he jumped back in fright.
But she was still stubborn, "You, don't argue anymore, hurry up and pack your things and leave, it's too late, and even this tael of silver is gone!" ā
Ginkgo shivered at the coldness in her eyes, although it was far away and the light was not sufficient, she clearly felt the killing intent.
Mu Xiang rubbed her hands and sneered: "Little girl, if you grow so big, no one will teach you, you have to accumulate virtue in your mouth, at a young age, you can scold people when you open and close your mouth, others don't care about you, but they are not afraid of you!" ā
"Hey, I said a few of you, in the end, you want to be shameless, you can't get rid of it, whether it's on it or what's wrong, if you really don't want to go, then go to the back to sleep in the stable, my young lady is kind, I can send you a few quilts, save most of the night, and I have to get up to collect your body!"
Ginkgo giggled, "Yes, the slave is going to chase them away!" When she turned her head to face Mu Xiang and them, she immediately changed her face.
Mu Yuelan stretched out her slender jade hand, poked Ginkgo's head, and said angrily: "Dare to say nonsense, there is no matter that has been decided, you are not allowed to say it again, hurry up and arrange the accommodation, I am tired, I have to hurry tomorrow morning, I want to go to bed early." ā
She gives people the feeling that she is very capable, and to put it bluntly, she is a woman from a white-collar family.
How can I say it, this second young lady is not a country and a city, at least even Zhao Nianyun is better looking than her, and her facial features can only be regarded as beautiful and lovely.
The second lady took off the cloak on her head, revealing a shy but somewhat heroic face.
The girl named Ginkgo seemed to be very unconvinced, "Miss, how can this be my nonsense, how His Royal Highness King Xiang treats you, we are all looking at this, he has not yet decided to marry, isn't it to wait for Miss to become an adult?" Such an obvious thing, miss, don't be embarrassed, this time I went back to Beijing, according to the slave maid, this matter is not far from ten. ā
But what does she mean when she mentions King Xiang!
This young lady, who should have a different surname, returned to the Mu family because of the succession, and the surname was Mu, and the meaning of it was very different.
Mu Xiang suddenly realized that the people of the Mu family are really all human spirits.
She threw an inquiring look at Wu Qing, Wu Qing leaned over and explained to her in a low voice, "This second young lady, originally not surnamed Mu, was the youngest daughter of Old Man Mu, and passed on to Mu Qingyang and his father." ā
Mu Xiang remembered what He An said that day, he said that in the Mu family's generation, in addition to Mu Qingyang, there was only one Mu Fengting who entered the palace, where did the second miss pop up?
"Ginkgo, don't talk nonsense," the woman with the cloak on her head whispered. The voice is quite nice, but there is a bit of arrogance in the tone.
The girl slapped the table and stood up angrily, "Who do you say is a dog, and who are you, who are you, and if you don't leave, do you want to extort money?" is so bold, even the Mu family's money dares to be blackmailed, I think you are really tired of living, have you ever heard of the name of King Xiang? Hmph, it won't be long before my young lady will be ......"
"Smack!"
She was so loud that she deliberately wanted the people at the table to hear, especially the little maid with her pigtails.
"Of course, there is a little maid who is screaming and yelling, arrogant, domineering, and powerful, the most important!"
"Oh? If the origin is not important, what is? Wu Qing knew that she had something to say, so she took her words, otherwise she wouldn't be able to continue.
"Hey, the origin doesn't matter," Mu Xiang said with a smile, seemingly very kind. Although this is also the time and space of the father, there is no need to open and close your mouth, it is all on your lips.
Wu Qing didn't look at him either, sipped tea, and sneered: "Isn't it the Mu family?" If you can't afford to offend them, how can you offend us, and do you know where we come from? ā
After a while, he ran to Mu Xiang's table, and apologized to them, "I'm really sorry for a few, our store is a small business, and I can't afford to offend the people of the Mu family, do you think this is done?" I'll take you to find a place to live, and I'll refund you all the money for accommodation, and I don't need any money for these foods, you see, is this okay? ā
As soon as the shopkeeper heard her mention Mu's firm, his expression immediately changed, and he nodded and apologized to her.
They are all masters, and there are some things that don't need to be picked out, everyone knows it.
The three of them, when they entered the store, their eyes fell on the backs of Wu Qing and the others, and they paused slightly before moving away.
In addition to this, there were two young men in blue clothes dressed in miscellaneous labor, and three men with swords.
She doesn't stop or interfere with the little girls around her.
Next to the arrogant little maid, there was a woman sitting, also wrapped in a cape, and a hat on her head, as if she had stuffed the whole person into the cloak.
Da Fei didn't dare to shout this time, he touched his beard, looked at the noisy little girl, and then looked at Mu Xiang, but he didn't squeak.
After speaking, she also glanced at Mu Xiang's table defiantly, the meaning could not be more obvious, and it was clear that she wanted to drive them away.
"You are just a shopkeeper, do you dare me to bargain with my young lady? Do you know who my young lady is? Have you ever heard of Mu's Firm? My young lady is the second lady of Mu's firm, do you say you offended? If you don't hurry up, blast everyone out, my young lady won't lose their benefits, isn't it silver, my young lady has it, let them go quickly, and each person will give them one or two silver! ā
The girl had two pigtails, she was not good-looking, she was the same as Da Mei, and her attitude was even worse and arrogant.
This request made the shopkeeper embarrassed, "This ...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate, on a snowy day, people came first, how can there be a reason to drive people out, a few guest officers, we still have more rooms here, and it's enough for you to live, you don't need to bomb other guests to go! ā
One of them, who should have been the girl who knocked on the door before, said in a sharp voice: "Xiao Er, our young lady has chartered this inn, and the idlers are not allowed to stay, you let them quickly pack up their things and find a place to live as soon as possible!" ā
When those people came in, they just glanced at them lightly, and then talked to the shopkeeper.
The light of the candles is not too strong, and it is impossible for the shopkeeper to light a lot of candles, so the light in the hall is not sufficient.
He An happened to be cold, and he didn't notice who came in outside, so he took a candle, stood up and led them upstairs.
The people outside had already come in, judging by their clothes and pace, they were not ordinary people, and she had to stay here and find out the situation.
Mu Xiang said: "Caiyun, take Mu Lang upstairs, you still know which wing room you are in, well, bring this candle, He An, you send them up." ā
Mu Lang too, "Second sister, I want to cover the bed, my feet are numb." ā
"It's so cold," Caiyun tucked her hand into her sleeve and leaned low against the edge of the table.
As soon as the store opened, the cold wind from outside poured in, blowing the lights and candles a few times, and almost extinguished.
But in time, the shopkeeper had already opened the door, and he couldn't leave if he wanted to.
Wu Qing and Yan Zhong immediately put their minds on guard, and motioned for Mu Xiang to take people upstairs.
The voice was a young girl, but not a single person, for the wooden door was marked with a fire, and it should have been a lighted torch, not one or two, but at least several people.
"Store, do you have a room, we want to stay in the hotel!"
But at this moment, the closed door of the store was beaten and was about to fall apart.
The shopkeeper was dozing off again, the chef was already preparing to collect the bowls, and Mu Xiang was also preparing to take Mu Lang and Caiyun back.
A few of them quarreled, but the inn's shopkeeper and the chef who was about to explode were put aside, and they were not stupid, how could they really be more serious with them, and if they heard it, they just didn't hear it.
Wu Qing raised his big mother finger at Mu Xiang, and sure enough, pinching people's shortcomings is what Mu Xiang is best at.
Da Fei, a bastard, although he has some silver, but he is not a big money, if he really wants to pay for the tables and chairs of an inn, it must cost a lot of money, so he won't do it! It's a big deal, when you take a lunch break tomorrow, choose a place where no one is around, and then compete with Wu Qing, so you can save more money.
Such a simple sentence is more effective than any words of persuasion.
After Mu Xiang finished training He An, he was really annoyed by him, and coldly dropped a sentence: It's okay to compete, but if you smash something, you will pay for it yourself.
Da Fei was still yelling at Wu Qing, but Wu Qing still ignored him.
"No, really no, master, my mouth is strict...... Uh, I'll close it," He An wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and immediately covered his mouth, leaving only his eyes to turn left and right, looking even more funny.
Mu Xiang also had a hint of a smile in her eyes, but she still made a straight face, "If you don't close it tightly, I will add a lock to you when I turn around, and it will be strong." ā
Mu Lang and Caiyun watched his funny movements, and laughed non-stop.
He made a gesture to close the door, signaling that he had closed his mouth.
He An turned his head slowly, his face was full of flattering smiles, "The small one doesn't talk much, the small one thinks this store is too deserted, and he just wants to liven up the atmosphere, the master doesn't like to listen, the little one closes his mouth!" ā
Mu Xiang stretched out his index finger and pointed at the back of He An's head, his face was not smiling, "You seem to have a lot of words tonight, isn't your mouth too idle, otherwise you will go outside and shout twice and come back?" ā
If it was possible, he really wanted to move the stool to the corner to prevent Mu Xiang from noticing him, but this wish seemed unlikely to come true, because at this moment, he already felt a chill on his back.
"Uh...... This ......" He An, who knew that he had said the wrong thing, dodged Caiyun's gaze, "Hey, I said you two, do you want to fight, if you want to fight, hurry up, I'll be the referee for the two of you, hurry up!" ā
"Hurt? Protect us? Nothing happened today, did you? Caiyun blinked, she had finished her meal, threw it away, and asked him very idly.
He An's chopsticks stopped and retorted; "Master was injured today in order to protect the two of you, otherwise you think I wouldn't dare!"
Caiyun looked at He An with a disgusted expression, "Xiao Anzi, you instigated others to fight, so why can't you do it?" ā
He An knocked on the chopsticks and shouted, "Wu Qing, hurry up, hurry up!" ā
Wu Qing was bored eating, very leisurely, and ignored him at all.
"Yes, we have been fighting for so long, and we haven't been able to tell the winner, if it weren't for the wooden ...... If she intervenes, she will knock you down! Da Fei couldn't resist his instigation, besides, he was telling the truth, the battle between the two of them was indeed not over during the day!
He's a master who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, anyway, the night is long, and it's boring!
He An burst out laughing, couldn't stop laughing, and instigated: "You turn your face with him, hurry up and turn your face, isn't it not over the fight on the boat that day?" Keep fighting, I can't tell the winner, how do you know who is more powerful! ā
"What are you doing kicking me all the time, don't you let people say anything? What do you mean, don't you make it clear, I sue you, if you dare to kick the master, the master is going to turn his face with you! ā
Da Fei didn't see anyone's staring eyes, he only knew that he was kicked twice in succession, and it really hurt.
Wu Qing gave him another kick and glared at him warningly.
Only Da Fei didn't understand what she meant by going around in such a big circle, he only heard the superficial meaning, "How can I be stupider than him, look at his cowardice, if he doesn't work as a cook, it is estimated that he can't even grow a crop, Ye is different, Ye is a Hou ......"
The sixth and sixth couldn't help laughing, and sat back again. Secondly, they also heard Mu Xiang's voice, now they have a peaceful night's rest, and they will hurry tomorrow, this is their first priority, don't have nothing to do.
He An sneered, no wonder he didn't hold back, it's so funny!
Mu Xiang waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down, "What are you anxious about, we are civilized people, how can we be rough with people, his food is not good, it is not his fault, it can only show that he is stupid, if you do it with him, you can only say that you are stupider than him!" ā
When Chef Humpty saw this battle, how dare he be angry, so he shrank his head and sat back.
Da Fei was even more exaggerated, jumping up and kicking the bench behind him backwards, looking like he was going to fight with someone.
The sixth and seventh were all angry, and the chopsticks were slammed on the table, glaring at him angrily.
As soon as this remark came out, it absolutely angered a large area.
The chef was a stout middle-aged man, stood up suddenly, slapped the table, and said angrily: "It's good to eat some, you go out and take a look, in the first month, there are a few shops with open doors, and we also supply food in this store, out of this store, you can't buy it even if you have money, hum, you dare to pick three or four there, love to eat or not!" ā
As some people say, the tiger is not there, the monkey is the king.
In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, the boss went home to reunite with his family as soon as it was dark and handed over the store to them.
I can't bear it anymore when I hear them dislike that the noodles are not delicious.
On a cold day, I can't sleep, I can't even cover the warm bed, these two people are stuffy!
When they were eating, they didn't leave because they had to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but sat at the table in the corner of the inn.
Just as Wu Qing thought, these two little babies were spoiled by Mu Xiang, and they didn't know what to be afraid of.
They slept all the way, and finally their feet hit the ground, and their spirits returned.
Caiyun also nodded hurriedly, "It's really like batter, it's still leftover batter." ā
Wu Qing didn't dare to kick him this time, anyway, he got into trouble, and he was in his eldest sister's pocket, besides, he couldn't stop him!
Mu Lang didn't know that this kind of thing was not allowed to be said, and then Da Fei's words said: "The green onions are stewed yellow, and they have become dead leaves, unlike my eldest sister, who cut the shallots, and sprinkled them when the noodles are about to come out of the pot, the shallot fragrance is authentic, and the color is also good-looking, which is like you, like a pot of batter." ā
Da Fei closed his mouth stupidly, in fact, he still has a lot of opinions that he hasn't said! Besides, it's not that he deliberately picks thorns, it's really hard to eat!
Wu Qing kicked him under the table to stop him from talking.
He ate a bowl of noodles, smashed his mouth, and shook his head, "The noodles are not strong, the soup is too thick, the cabbage is too early, it is all cooked, and the green onions are all simmer......ed."
These coarse tea and light rice are also very good for people who have been on the road for a few days, who still accounts for the better food and not the tasty, except for Da Fei.
Mu Xiang made the bed, and took his younger brothers and sisters downstairs to eat, and asked Wu Qing to call the other guards as well, and he had to eat enough before he could go to the guards, right?
It must be too late to cook the rice now, so the chef ordered a pot of vegetarian noodles, and there were some salty goods boiled, and after cutting them, they were put on a plate, and it was okay.
But because the guests were all carrying swords, it was clear that they were from the source, and they couldn't afford to provoke them. Since I can't afford to provoke it, I have to serve honestly.
The shopkeeper will drag the chef out to cook on the fire, and the chef is also full of displeasure.
The other guards scattered around the inn to take on the duties of the guards.
The sixth and seventh children came in last, tied the horses, and carried all the bedding in the carriage.
Mu Xiang walked in front, Wu Qing and Da Fei, one carrying a little baby on his back, followed her, and Xiao Er led the way, and the group went upstairs.
"Okay, the little one will go to the chef immediately, a few of you will go to the wing room with the small one first, they are all upstairs, all the upper rooms, although the bedding is not brand new, but it has been dismantled and washed years ago, and it is absolutely clean."
But looking at the cloak she was wearing, and the few sword-wielding men behind her, at first glance, they were guards, and they were not good, how could the shopkeeper dare to question his words, and nodded again and again.
The shopkeeper plucked out his ears, this girl was so loud that his ears buzzed.
Mu Xiang's tone was unkind, almost roaring.
Four upper rooms, the bed should be soft, the bedding should be new, and then go to boil some hot water, we don't take a bath, but we have to soak our feet, and there is food in addition? If you don't have it, call all the chefs here, I'm a group of more than a dozen people, all have to eat, go quickly, go immediately! ā
Wu Qing stepped aside, and at this time, it was time for Mu Xiang to speak.
He got up, bent over, and asked politely, "Yes, of course there are guest rooms, I don't know how many side rooms you want to live in?" ā
The door where the shopkeeper was bounced back sat back on the ground, and when he saw Wu Qing's fierce face, he had to swallow back the complaint that rolled to his mouth.
Wu Qing kicked the door of the store open, as evil as a murderer, "What are you talking about, let's stay here, isn't your inn open?" ā
"Knock on what, are you alone? It's only the sixth day of the first month, you're in a hurry to be reincarnated! ā
The shopkeeper opened the door a crack, not wanting the cold air to pour in, so he only saw He An standing alone with the door blocked, and his attitude was not good.
He An ran and knocked on the door for a while, and then the shopkeeper rubbed his eyes and ran to open the door wearing a big cotton jacket.
There are six lanterns hanging at the door of this inn, because it is the first day of the first month, there are not many merchants in the aisle, and there are not many people in a hurry, so the inn has no business, and the door is closed very early, only the lanterns are kept, and the people who pass by are told that they still have a wing.
It was cold and snowing, and most of the townspeople went home and closed their doors to keep warm. There were very few people walking on the streets, and the whole town was a little lifeless.
When it was almost dark, they arrived at a small town with a small population and only one inn.
The snow on the road was getting thicker and thicker, and the wheels rolled into the snow, leaving deep axle marks.
When he left, it was late in the evening.
The only self-confidence belongs to Helian Sheng. His mount was Lightning, the best horse that recognized only him and no one.
Helian Sheng smiled confidently, "Xiang'er is too worried, the person who dares to stop me on the way back to Beijing has not yet been born!" ā
How could he only bring one person, at least he had to bring Yan Zhong or Wu Qing with him!
For his decision, Mu Xiang disagreed.
If you don't add the three Muxiang sisters and brothers, including Da Fei, there are a total of nine people.
As a last resort, he could only return to Beijing first, only taking two secret guards with him, and the rest were left to enter Beijing with Mu Xiang.
Helian Sheng hesitated again and again, and just when he hesitated, another urgent official document came, and he didn't say anything specifically, only said that the emperor was in a hurry.
She can ride a horse, if it weren't for Mu Lang and Caiyun, she would never be slower than them when she got on the horse.
Mu Xiang was also afraid of the hurry, so he built yƬ He went first, and as soon as he left, a day's journey, I was afraid that it would take two days to arrive. It just so happens that they can rest on the road, otherwise they will have to shed their skin if they don't die when they rush to the capital.
This decision is very difficult for him to know without thinking about it. On one side is the lady, and on the other side is the emperor's decree.
When he was still a day's journey from the capital, Helian Sheng received a secret report that he wanted to return to Beijing first.
It's very hard to hurry, Mu Xiang is better, Mu Lang and Caiyun's bodies can't help it, as soon as they get into the carriage, they lie on the soft cushion and sleep under the quilt.
When you reach a high place or a slope, someone has to get down and push the cart, but there are so many of them that you can pass even if you carry a carriage.
Mu Xiang knew that Helian Sheng was really in a hurry, and the further north they went, the heavier the wind and snow became, and the road they walked on was covered with snow. The wheels are wrapped with a thick layer of straw to prevent the wheels from slipping.
At this time, no one wants to eat more, in the morning, they can only drink some gruel, and at noon, everyone eats some pastries to barely fill their stomachs.
The carriage ride is very bumpy, and it is so fast that it can turn people's stomachs upside down. Fortunately, Muxiang brought a lot of quilts, spread underneath, which can more or less alleviate the feeling of bumps.
In this way, the trip will be faster.
Changed into a carriage, Mu Xiang took Mu Lang and Caiyun to ride in the carriage, He An and Da Fei sat in front and were responsible for driving the car, and Helian Sheng and Wu Qing rode horses.
By boat, there is still freshness in the first few days, but after a few days, what can be seen outside, in addition to the river or the river, sometimes you can also see the undulating peaks on both sides, but if you see too much, you will get tired of it, and there is nothing to see.
The boat traveled in the river for a few more days, and then turned to the land, and if it didn't turn again, Mu Lang and Caiyun would be suffocated.
Mu Xiang is the same, instead of eating those flashy things, it is better to eat something real. Besides, she can't watch herself eat well and let her subordinates eat cabbage and tofu. How awkward it is! They are not short of these money, and they have the strength to work only after they eat and drink well.
He doesn't need special treatment, he doesn't need to make another meal for him, he just needs to eat the same food as his subordinates.
Helian Sheng's style of acting, Mu Xiang can be regarded as a figure.
Mu Xiang cooked the meal and sent it out for others to eat. He An prepared the meal for his master, and also went out to eat with Yan Zhong and them.
It is inconvenient to eat steamed buns on the boat, and it is cold quickly, so it is better to cook some rice and serve it when eating, it is not easy to get cold.
With special spices, boiled out, as long as the heat is enough, the fragrance is tangy.
These are also prepared in the morning, salted, but when they are burned, they are just as delicious.
The wood fragrant stew filled two large pots, beef and mutton offal spicy pot.
For dinner that day, in order to suppress the shock of everyone.
They only knew that they had slept grogily, and they would not know what was happening on the ship, and they felt that their bodies hurt a lot, and they hurt everywhere.
Mu Lang and Caiyun were fine, and after sleeping for another hour, he woke up.
She really thought right, Helian Sheng had this arrogance and contempt for a qiÄ capital.
Big brother, how can you say it so easily? It is not to harvest wheat or cut rice, but to go down with a knife and cut a large field.
"Huh?" Mu Xiang was shocked.
"Yes, even if you cover it up again, some characteristics will still be revealed, Xiang'er, don't think about it, when you should meet it, you will meet it, you don't have to take his words to heart, it's just the Dragon Gang, let the seventh and sixth take someone to collect it another day."
"Okay, go back, that guy is too funny, wearing a mask, he thinks he's mysterious, ridiculous!"
"Let's go, go back to the house and see how Mu Lang and them are, and Wu Qing will handle the rest of the matter," He Liansheng hugged Mu Xiang.
Mu Xiang was still a little confident in his archery skills, knowing that the man's injuries were not light, and even if the external injuries were healed, the injuries on the bones would need to be healed for several days before they could heal.
Although the two arrows did not hit the vital point, the arrows were so powerful that they pierced into the bones. When he pulled it out, he felt the pain in his heart.
He drew the arrow, and he was still standing. The distance between the two ships was getting farther and farther away, and there was a thick fog blocking it, so that the masked man could barely stand without his opponent realizing that he was actually about to fall.
The man glared at her angrily, with the ruthlessness in his eyes, and he wanted to let her be broken, "I really should be ashamed, if you want to kill me, let's talk about it after practicing archery!" ā
Mu Xiang put down her bow and said in a mocking tone, "My skills are not bad, ten arrows failed to kill you, only let you hang the color, it seems that my archery skills have regressed too much, ashamed!" ā
Ten arrows later, the man was slashed in several places, one of which hit him in the thigh and one in the arm.
The arrow in Mu Xiang's hand continued to shoot at the person opposite, without interruption in the middle, no matter how he dodged, the arrow could always find him and chase him.
Before he could turn his head from the previous arrow, there was a whoosh, and another arrow came. This time it was to his heart.
The man wearing the golden mask didn't seem to expect that someone would release an arrow at this time, or dozens of feet away, the arrow was going straight to his face, but fortunately he flashed quickly, and the arrow earlobe grazed.
Mu Xiang grabbed the arrow, stuffed the quiver into Helian Sheng's hand, and bent the bow and shot the arrow, with a clean and neat movement.
When she saw that the princess wanted a bow and arrow, she immediately offered it with both hands.
Among Helian Sheng's secret guards, several of them carried bows and arrows, which was equivalent to the role of snipers.
"Give me a bow and arrows!"
