This is already a country that still retains the slavery system, and Daikin and Rouran have always been hostile countries, and now they are fighting on the border. Rouran is known for its courage in battle, Daikin has always been rich and comfortable, emphasizing literature over martial arts, if it is not for the national strength to defeat Rouran, I am afraid that it will be defeated and retreated.

In Suri's impression, Rouran is a country full of violence and barbarism. So as soon as he stepped into the town, although Suri was very curious about foreign countries, in order to avoid causing trouble, he still tried to hide his presence.

Her identity is now very sensitive, not only the princess of Dajin, but also the deceased queen of Hu Guo. If Rouranren knew her identity, the consequences would be unimaginable.

She didn't know why Nalan Jingxue brought herself to Rouran, she was very worried that Nalan Jingxue would use her identity to do something. Although Nalan Jingxue said that she would not hand herself over, who knows.

Sikong Jin also said that he would not exchange himself for his father's antidote? And later. It's not that he stabbed her in the heart and then exchanged it for medicine to save his father.

In the face of power, everything else seems so pale and weak.

Su Rui understands that she is now powerless, powerless, and has nothing to rely on, and Nalan Jingxue is almost in control of her life, death and freedom, although she is very reluctant to admit it, but this is the truth.

Rouran's inn is also very different from Dajin and Hu's, not as comfortable and clean as Dajin and Hu's, chickens and ducks are actually raised in the house, as soon as Su Rui walks in, some poultry fly up in shock.

As soon as Su Rui lowered her head, she dodged a half-flying and half-jumping chicken, and her nose was filled with the smell of poultry, and there were other smells that she couldn't tell, in short, it was very unpleasant.

The shopkeeper saw someone come in, but he was very enthusiastic, this inn is very small, there is no shopkeeper, it seems that there is a person in charge of the shopkeeper inside and out.

It was a tall middle-aged man with brown hair and gray eyes, and he spoke a language that Suri didn't understand, neither English nor Russian, another language that Suri hadn't been exposed to in modern times, and Suri peeked at the text, which she couldn't understand.

Su Rui sighed speechlessly, it's okay now, when Rouran has become completely illiterate, it is estimated that she will be sold and she doesn't know what happened.

At this point, she really has to keep an eye on everything.

Nalan Jingxue naturally spoke softly, and after saying a few words, the shopkeeper took Nalan Jingxue and Su Rui upstairs very attentively.

The staircase is made of whole pine wood, which is very pristine, and when you enter the house, the strange smell outside is much lighter.

The white-clothed servant who followed behind Nalan Jingxue took an incense burner from the carriage and lit the incense first, and a faint aroma completely eliminated the strange smell in the room.

Suri's first impression of Rouran was really bad.

It's too primitive and wild, and it's very different from Dajin and Hu.

The servants changed all the covers on the bed again, and Nalan Jingxue sat on the stone bed.

"Come and get some rest." Nalan Jingxue said to Su Rui, "It's not as simple as Dajin and Hu Guo here, you can make do with it first, and it will be better to get to the big city in two days." ”

Suri isn't picky about anything else, but the poultry is a little unbearable when they are kept at home.

"Why do they keep poultry where people live?" Su Rui asked with a frown.

"Haha." Nalan Jingxue laughed, "You are really a noble who doesn't know the suffering of the world, this kind of poor and remote land, if you don't keep poultry and livestock at home, where will you keep them?" It's freezing outside, and those are their precious possessions, so they naturally have to keep their possessions at home to feel at ease, if they freeze to death. Do you lose them money? ”

Su Rui was speechless for a while, Nalan Jingxue was right, this place is not as rich as Dajin, even Hu Guo is not comparable, and it is cold, those domestic animals are naturally better kept at home, and they have no extra money to make fires for poultry and livestock to keep warm.

"Is this like this everywhere?" Su Rui asked curiously.

"Not really. This is the closest town to Hu, it is very remote, we take a shortcut, and the caravan will not take this road because it is too unsafe, so the people here are very poor. There are also rich places in Rouran, such as Shengjing. Nalan Jingxue actually explained to Su Rui in a very good-natured manner.

"Why is your language different from that of Dajin and Hu?" Suri asked again.

After she came to this world, Dajin and Hu Guo said that she could speak Mandarin, which made her not have the slightest sense of disobedience, but when she came here, she couldn't understand half a word, which really made her feel very uneasy.

"The ancestors of Rouran migrated from a long distance to the west, so they retained the words of the ancestors of the West, and after arriving in Rouran, they began to be a few scattered tribes, which slowly developed, and then a powerful tribe annexed other small tribes and established a unified Rouran country, so the writing and language here are different from Dajin in Middle-earth and Hu in the east." Nalan Jingxue said, "From today onwards, I will teach you to speak Rouran, there is still half a month to Shengjing from here, if you are smart, you can understand simple words before you arrive in Shengjing, and you will not be embarrassed." ”

Su Rui glanced at Nalan Jingxue, he would be so kind......

Rouran's meal is similar to the food of medieval Western Europe, just a black scone with a pea and a little beef in soup, which is almost pig food compared to the food of Daikin and Hu. But this is already the best thing the inn can come up with.

But there is a drink here that is very delicious, similar to modern wort, sweet, Suri drank a lot, she also took it out to ice it, outside is a natural refrigerator, as long as it takes a while, the wort will become cold, and it tastes better.

Nalan Jingxue saw that Su Rui was drinking happily, and also took his own wort out to try it, he tasted it lightly, and smiled silently bitterly.

He looked at the cup of wort quietly, slightly distracted, he had actually learned to eat with Suri. But he forgot that he had long since lost his sense of taste, and that anything that came to his mouth was a taste, that is, there was no taste.

He used to know that this wort was sweet, but that was a long, long time ago, and he had almost forgotten what sweetness was like.

His mother never allowed him to eat these things, but someone quietly handed him one, and he tasted the sweetness for the first time, but at the cost of being so poisonous that he almost died.

People, if you get points, you lose points.

Su Rui saw Nalan Jingxue looking at the cup in his hand and was stunned, and looked at the wort in his hand suspiciously. He only took one sip.

"Doesn't it taste good?" Suri asked.

"It's okay." Nalan Jingxue replied lightly, the smile on her face had disappeared, and she felt a little unhappy.

That's when Suri remembered. She had hardly seen how Nalan Jingxue had eaten, no wonder he was so thin.

At this time, a white-clothed servant asked to enter, and after he came in, he respectfully handed Nalan Jingxue a wax pill.

"Master, this is what I just received." The white-clothed servant said.

Nalan Jingxue took the wax pill, waved her hand, and then crushed the sealing wax outside, and inside was a neatly folded letter.

Nalan Jingxue did not shy away from Su Rui, unfolded the letter, and gradually smiled between her eyebrows.

"Your little lover is now reused by your father." Nalan Jingxue smiled, and after reading the letter, he handed it to Su Rui.

Su Rui took it and looked at it, and there was a sign of the Burning Heaven Palace on the letterhead.

The content is roughly that because the Rouran cavalry is brave, the Dajin war is unfavorable, and while asking Hu Guo to send troops, he replaced the commander who is now fighting with Rouran, and Jun Rushuang is in command instead. The army of the Jun family has been marched from the border of Hu to the border of Rouran.

The Jun family is still the home of Dajin's first military general. After reading it, Su Rui's heart was also dark, at the beginning, his father was taboo about the military force of the Jun family, and kept trying to find ways to weaken the power of the Jun family, but now the disaster is at the head, and it is the Jun family that has to be relied on. Su Rui thought of Jun Rushuang's gentle and handsome man, but he was also a little worried about him in his heart.

If you win. Of course, if you lose, I'm afraid that the end of the Jun family will be very miserable.

His father has long been jealous of the Jun family, and he used the Jun family's divorce to receive the Jun family's gold medal for avoiding death, but now once the Jun family makes a mistake, what he wants to collect is the lives of all the young and old of the Jun family.

Even if he wins, it is not necessarily a good thing for the Jun family, after all, his father is already very jealous of the Jun family, and if he wins the battle again, the prestige of the Jun family will inevitably rise, and even if he doesn't say it, he will be even more dissatisfied in his heart.

The Jun family no longer has a gold medal for avoiding death, and when the time comes, he will also find a reason to remove the influence of the Jun family in Dajin, and when the time comes, he is afraid that it will not be a good thing to wait for Jun Rushuang.

The emperor's house has always been like this, the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden.

"He's not my little lover. How many times have I said it! Su Rui silently returned the letterhead to Nalan Jingxue and said unhappily.

"Okay. No, it's not. Nalan Jingxue said.

Su Rui saw that he didn't believe him, and he didn't bother to argue with him. She admires Jun Rushuang, but it's just appreciation. As for saving Jun Rushuang twice in a row, it can be regarded as a coincidence and the arrangement of fate. And nothing else.

"The messenger is still there, is there anything that needs to be delivered?" Nalan Jingxue asked.

Su Rui thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes!" She asked the servant for pen and paper, and began to write on the humble table.

Nalan Jingxue saw that Su Rui did not avoid him, so she simply stood on the side and watched, but the more she looked at him, the more interested she became, and the more she looked at him, the brighter her eyes became.

Su Rui's letter was addressed to Su Yuanfeng.

She exchanged 100,000 quintals of grain and grass from Sikong Jin for an open-pit coal mine, and the understanding of coal in this era was limited, and the use of coal was not fully developed.

What Suri saw from that Bunzaki was a rich, shallow open-pit mine that did not need to be excavated very deep. So Su Rui asked Su Yuanfeng to take the workers to walk over there, and she drew all the places where she saw the road map on the notebook at that time, and the black stones that were recorded in the notebook.

She also told Su Yuanfeng how to mine, in order to save labor, she recruited local farmers in the local area, and distributed money and food every month, believing that with the current situation of Hu State, many people will be willing to do it.

She believed in Su Yuanfeng's character, but in this way, I am afraid that Su Yuanfeng will not be able to spend the New Year at home.

The letter was written until late at night, Su Rui's neck was a little stiff, his eyes were dry and astringent, the conditions in the Rouran Inn were not good, a small oil lamp was illuminated, the optical fiber was dim, and writing would be very tiring.

Su Rui looked at it, and he actually wrote a thick stack.

After she sorted out the letter, she handed it to Nalan Jingxue, and then she thought for a while, "Can I ask you how many more people to borrow?" ”

"Who do you want?" Nalan Jingxue was also very interested in what Su Rui wrote, and he secretly regretted that Su Rui was worthy of being from the same place as the first Lord of the Burning Heaven Palace, and what was written and painted in the letter just now was something he had never seen in the classics of the Burning Heaven Palace.

"Borrow someone who is reliable, has martial arts." Su Rui said to Nalan Jingxue, "That place is remote, I'm afraid that something will happen to Su Yuanfeng." After all, he is still a little weaker, although he has a good mind, but he has traveled so far with money, what if he encounters bad people along the way? ”

Su Rui was thoughtful, and after she proposed it, she was afraid that Nalan Jingxue would not care, but she didn't expect Nalan Jingxue to agree very happily.

Su Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she now has the Burning Heaven Palace to guard her honor, otherwise it would be really difficult to mine coal mines.
