Chapter 49 (The Unknown Road 3)
When she was free, she transplanted several pots of flowers for Chu Meier and put them indoors, and then arranged for her subordinates to clean the indoor and outdoor thoroughly updoor. After more than ten days, Chu Mei'er gradually got better, and her improvement was much ruddy.
An Ning plucked a trace of silver hair from her forehead for Chu Mei'er, and suddenly there were three bells in the castle. "This is the bell of the Minister of Emergency Gathering. Chu Mei'er said with a side eyebrow.
"But what happened?" An Ning asked, "Mother, I'll come and see, Inuo, you're here to take care of Mother." ”
"I'm fine. Chu Mei'er said, "Let Yinuo go with you." ”
An Ning did not refuse, and went out with Yinuo, and all the ministers walked towards the council hall, in a hurry, and grabbed one person to ask, but there was no result. As a daughter's family, An Ning is not qualified to participate in all the meetings of the council chamber, so she can only die outside. The meeting lasted for more than two hours and was not over, she was so anxious that she stomped her feet back and forth in the corridor, and her mind could not be calmed, and her only worry was whether something would happen to her father.
"Miss, shall we go for a walk outside? Inuo reminded on the side, and An Ning nodded, so it had to be. When they walked down the spiral staircase and were about to return to their room, Enoch first noticed a white pigeon parked on the floor not far away, "Purring" and chirping, and Enoch also saw a small piece of paper tube tied to the white pigeon's feet, "Miss, there is a carrier pigeon." ”
An Ning looked to see that the white pigeon flew on the railing beside her, and she picked up the pigeon, took the paper tube from the pigeon's feet, and released the pigeon. The paper tube was covered with dried mud and sealed with wax oil, there was no doubt that this was the style of the Rob City family, she opened the paper tube and looked at the handwriting on it, "This is my sister's handwriting." She said.
"What does the letter say?" asked Enoch.
An Ning had already finished reading the letter, "Sister let ......." She was about to say but took the words back, she put away the paper tube and put it in the pocket of her clothes, "It's nothing, my sister asked me how my mother and I were doing, and I will reply to my sister later." ”
Ino didn't believe what An Ning said, but he didn't debunk her either. It was not until the sun was about to set that the meeting of the council chamber, which lasted for six hours of incense, lasted from morning to afternoon.
An Ning and Yinuo waited for the coachman at the entrance of the spiral staircase in the council hall, and she greeted them and asked, "Master, what happened?"
The coachman walked down the steps, led An Ning and Ino a long way away, and stopped under a grove of trees. His expression was very complicated, and it was difficult to open his mouth to show different degrees on his face.
"What the hell is going on?" An Ning asked anxiously as she couldn't wait.
The coachman sighed stingily, "The Red Tooth Da Shan ordered each of our officials to pay more than half of the seduce as a tax, and also asked Luobu City to send an army of 1,000 people every year, 500 slaves and slaves, and also specially explained that slaves and slaves were mainly women. ”
"Woman?" An Ning exclaimed, "they want to go to Miko." She was simply out of breath, "What are we going to do next?"
The ministers grumbled, and after nearly a day of discussion, they were ready to hand over the money. ”
"Is it just that?"
"Everybody's here to save their lives. The coachman frowned, "The roster of everyone's taxes must be handed to the big order, and no one dares not to give it." With that, he let out a sigh of relief and walked away with his hands behind his back.
"What kind of world is this?" An Ning muttered to herself, she glanced at Enoch, then looked up at the blue sky, and thought to herself, "No matter what, I must go to Suqi City." ”
As soon as An Ning finished thinking about it, the coachman turned around and called, "Miss, I have already told the prince that I plan to leave for Issyk-Kul Lake tomorrow." ”
"How many men did the prince send to follow you?" An Ning asked.
"More than thirty people. The coachman replied, "Take care of your mother, remember, don't do anything out of the ordinary, try to be as patient as you can in front of Mrs. Right, and don't do Anville any good." ”
"Master, I know, Master, you have to take care!" An Ning lowered her eyebrows, she knew that what she was going to do now was to disappoint Master, but she had to do it.
The coachman patted An Ning's shoulder and left, dinner An Ning ate with Chu Mei'er, during the meal, An Ning told Chu Mei'er about paying taxes, Chu Mei'er didn't want to ask about this, she only muttered lightly, "I don't know if Angel is doing well in the royal court." ”
"Mother, don't worry. "Tranquility comforting.
"Hey!" Chu Mei'er let out a long sigh and put the chopsticks in her hand on the table, "You guys eat, I'm done." ”
"Mother, can you eat some more? How many bites have you eaten?" An Ning persuaded.
"I'm full, so eat. ”
An Ning simply put down her chopsticks, "Mother, it's still early, shall I go out for a walk with you?"
Chu Mei'er had no choice but to nod, they went out and walked on the forest path in the square, and Chu Mei'er followed behind. An Ning took Chu Mei'er's arm, looked at the sunset, and then walked to the dark sky, looking at Chu Meier's sad face, An Ning's heart was like a knife, she went to Su Qicheng, and she didn't know if it was appropriate to come back, "Mother, how can I bear to leave you behind in such a state, but for the sake of my father and brother, I'm afraid I really have to leave you for a while." ”
Sleeping peacefully at night is also sleeping with Chu Meier, and Yinuo is no exception, sleeping in Chu Meier's bedroom, always listening to the movement from the guest room. She talked a lot with Chu Mei'er, but the only thing she didn't mention about the coachman going to Issyk-Kul Lake, she was afraid that it would touch Chu Mei'er again, so she didn't say a word. She still wanted to go to Su Qicheng, and she would never talk about this kind of thing to Chu Mei'er.
On the second day, seeing off the master, An Ning was with Chu Mei'er, she deliberately told the doctor that he must do his best to regulate her mother's body, otherwise she would have died with a cane, and then she carefully explained to Yinuo, what details her mother should pay attention to on weekdays, what she likes to eat, and what she doesn't like to eat.
In the early hours of the night, Chu Mei'er had already fallen asleep, An Ning sneaked out of the room, and when she rode a horse in the stable yard and was about to leave, she saw a thin black shadow standing in the courtyard in the distance, and in the moonlight, An Ning recognized Yinuo.
"Inuo, get out of the way. An Ning rode on his horse and shouted at Enoch in front of him, the night was thick, and he could barely see the other party's face.
"Miss, you can't go. Enoch spread his hands and stopped in front of the horse, "I know you won't jump over me." ”
"Don't push me. An Ning begged for mercy, "Anyway, I must go to Suqi City." Seeing that Ino did not give way, she first let the horse's front feet into the air, then pulled the horse's reins to the left, and when she crossed Ino's side, Ino jumped back a few steps so that the horse did not step on her.
"Miss, are you really breaking in?" Yinuo looked bitter, she ran into the stable yard and rode a group of horses, and chased after them.
An Ning heard the galloping footsteps of the horses behind her, and she knew that it was Yinuo, so she hurried and continued to hurry.
"Miss, you wait for me. Ino shouted behind him.
"If you want to come with me, just follow me. An Ning shouted, the wind kept howling, and Ino didn't hear it at all.
The road to Suqicheng is all flat at the beginning, and the road is steep and the terrain is complicated. When it was daybreak, the horses were still running at a rapid pace, and the breeze whistled past their ears, and the wind did not overshadow the horses' hooves." "The sound of running.
There were no people here, there were several roads leading to the front in front of her, An Ning tightened the reins of her horse and stopped, she didn't know which way to take, so she turned back and asked Yinuo, who had just stopped her horse, "There are so many roads, which one should we take?"
Ino saw a road that snaked back and forth like a snake, a road that was intricately intertwined with a remote path, and a straight road that led straight ahead, and the uneven hills that almost completely disappeared the section, and when he looked around, the road appeared two kilometers away.
"Miss, these roads in front of me are too complicated, and I don't know which one to take. Ino said as he looked at the ups and downs, the intricate sections.
An Ning frowned, and let the horses pass through from a straight road, and Ino followed, and as he rounded a high hill, the road became more and more rugged, but there were green terraces and wheat waves in the distance, "Keep going from here, there must be someone ahead." An Ning said, whipping up the horse and letting the horse catch up from the winding mountain road.
After more than ten days of travel, An Ning was as tired as Yinuo's expression, his hair was messy, his clothes were dirty, his stomach was already growling, his throat and eyes were smoking, and his lips were chapped. In the distance was the endless Gobi, and the food on her body had long since run out, and the dim light on her face made her at a loss.
