Chapter 254: See Shuangshu Again
Xiao Ding and the others hurried slowly for a day, and before evening, they happened to pass by a town, Xiao Ding was worried that he would not be able to catch up with the next village and town if he continued to hurry, so he decided to find an inn to rest in advance.
After staying at the inn, when Xiao Ding asked the innkeeper for the way, he heard bad news. The official road to Jinju was blocked by an avalanche at the mountain pass west of the town. Heavy snow closes the road, and if you want to pass, you can only wait until the weather warms up and the snow melts.
After listening to this, Xiao Ding's heart twitched, and his heart said What should I do now?
Asked the guy again, is there any other road to Jinju, but the guy shook his head and said: "This official road on the west side of the town is the only official road leading to Jinju in this vicinity. There is no other road to Jinju in this vicinity except for the road in the west of Jinju. ”
"Then I want to go to Jinju, is there any other way?" Xiao Ding asked unrelentingly.
"I heard that there is another road from Jizhou to Jinzhou in the south, which seems to be in Fuyang County, which is seven or eight hundred miles away from here. There is another way, which is to go north to Bingzhou, we belong to the territory of Zhending County in Jizhou, you continue to the north, you can enter Bingzhou, and then detour from Bingzhou to Jinju. The shopkeeper said.
"So how far is it to enter the state of the north and the state?" Xiao Ding asked.
"It's not that far, it's only about two or three hundred miles. Our Zhending County is not far from Bingzhou and Youzhou. The shopkeeper said.
Xiao Ding heard the guy say this, and thought that this place might be located at the junction of Jizhou, Jinzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou. So I still think that it may be closer to Jinju from the northern side of Bingju.
If you go south to Fuyang County, you have to walk seven or eight hundred miles, you just came from the south, and then go back again, I don't know how long you will have to delay.
So, he immediately decided to start tomorrow morning and travel north, first to Bingju, and then to Jinju.
When he finished eating, Xiao Ding was in the hall where he was eating, and he met the five or six officials again. When the officials saw Xiao Ding looking at them, they were all so frightened that they cowered, not daring to look at Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding secretly said in his heart, what a coincidence, I met a few of them again. But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising that the road is closed by heavy snow ahead, and they are also going to Jinju, and the official road is blocked, and they can't get through it either. There is only one town in the vicinity, and this inn is the largest inn in the entire town. If they can choose this inn to live in, they will naturally choose this inn as well.
Since those officials didn't recognize Zheng Die'er, Xiao Ding didn't plan to take the initiative to provoke them. They finished their dinner peacefully, and then went back to their rooms to take a shower and sleep.
The next morning, check out and continue on the road. This time they went all the way north, straight in the direction of the state.
Bingzhou is located in the northwest direction of Jizhou, next to Youzhou in the east, Jinzhou in the south, and northeast of Yongzhou in the west. To the north is the Great Hara Kingdom, so Bingzhou, like Youzhou, is also a frontier in the north.
However, the terrain in the territory of Bingju is similar to that of Jinju, with many mountains and mountains, and less arable land available, so the economy of Bingju is relatively backward. At the same time, the border was often harassed by the state of Dahara, so many residents of the state moved to Jiju, Jinju, or further south.
Most of the merchants who lived in the same inn as Xiaoding and the others also planned to go to Jinju, and due to the heavy snow blocking the road, most of them also began to go north, intending to bypass the territory of Bingju.
So Xiao Ding is in a hurry today, not like there was no one on the road two days ago, but some pedestrians and vehicles on the road can be seen this time.
Among them were the five or six officials, who once again rode past Xiao Ding's slow carriage and galloped forward.
The snow road is not easy to walk, and the surrounding mountains are gradually increasing, and the official road is not as easy to walk as before. Fortunately, after two days of cultivation, Bai Junfei's body recovered quickly, and now he can get up and defecate on his own. This saves a lot of embarrassment. After all, Zheng Die'er, who took care of him, has not officially become his wife.
The reason why Bai Junfei was able to recover so quickly was inseparable from Zheng Die'er's careful care, feeding medicine, food and water three times a day, and serving him very thoughtfully. In addition, Bai Junfei is a person who practices martial arts, and his physical foundation is good, after Xiao Ding helps him open up the meridians, his own internal force can run smoothly, which is also conducive to the recovery of the body. It is supplemented with medication for recuperation. So it is only natural that the recovery will be fast.
After walking slowly for three days, I finally got out of the border of Jizhou and entered the territory of Bingzhou.
The people who were traveling together who lived in the same inn as Xiao Ding and the others had already surpassed Xiao Ding and walked to the front.
Therefore, on the official road leading to Bingzhou, in addition to the snow, it was Xiao Ding's three horse-drawn carriages that were connected together.
During these three days, they were more fortunate than before, and they were able to catch up with the village and town around the evening and stay at the inn. Instead, he slept in the wild for two nights in a row. Thanks to the abundant supplies they carried in the car, they did not suffer from hunger and cold. It's just that I sleep in a carriage and a tent at night, not as comfortable as sleeping on a bed in an inn.
On this day, Xiao Ding and his family came to a town called Meihuizhai. The reason why this town is called this name is because there is a big mountain near here, called Meihui Mountain.
As soon as Liu San drove the car into the streets of the town, Xiao Ding heard the sound of fighting on the streets of the town. Xiao Ding Xin said, who is fighting here.
Waiting for Liu San to catch the car, he came to the front to take a look. Xiao Ding was happy, and said in his heart, there is such a coincidence in the world, it turns out that he knows all the people who are fighting.
I saw that in the middle of a group of people eating melons, there were five or six people dressed in official clothes, fighting around two young people dressed as young students.
The two young people dressed as young students, they are not very old, their faces are delicate, their bodies are thin, one is wearing a moon-white robe, the other is wearing a lake-blue robe, the two look almost identical, they are actually a pair of twins, each of them holds a sword in their hands, the two swords are combined, and the martial arts are extraordinary.
Those people wearing official clothes are the same officials who have met Xiao Ding several times along the way. As for the twins, Xiao Ding has also recognized that they are the "Mei Shuangshu" who dresses as men, the Mei sisters of Meijian Villa.
Xiao Ding secretly said, how did their sisters get here?
