Chapter 501: The north of the Jade Gate is an enemy country
The number is verdant, and there are many yellow leaves in the mountains and forests, and the autumn is deep, and the leaves are withered.
The convoy meandered along the mountain road, and Su Lu was tired from the road, so he abandoned his horse and continued to ride.
"Lord Wang, you've arrived in the capital in front, do you have anything to bring to Your Majesty?"
Su Ge, who was sitting on the wheel, asked Su Lu, his tone full of joy. Since he came to protect Su Lu in place of Changning last year, Su Ge has not returned to the capital for a long time.
"Then stop in front of the market town and buy some small gifts."
Su Lu casually commanded.
Li Qinggui is the emperor, rich all over the world, he has never seen any strange things, he picks one in the market, and it is enough to do his best.
The convoy entered the market town and stopped in front of a restaurant, Su Ge stood on the wheel of the car and ordered: "Call for good wine and good food, I will accompany the adults to visit the market town, and when I come back, I will start eating, and we will return to Beijing after eating." ”
A few guards went in to order the wine and food to arrange the table, and Su Lu got out of the carriage and, accompanied by Su Ge, searched for gifts in the market town.
People come and go in the market town, and the sound of selling and bargaining is endless.
The cauldron of fried fruit sizzled, white smoke billowed from the freshly opened steamer, and the smell of stewed vegetables filled most of the market town.
"Sugar gourd, fresh and delicious sugar gourd."
"Fried buns, the most authentic fried buns in Sand Town."
"Haggis soup, mutton soup, ten big characters in a bowl, come in a bowl."
Amidst all kinds of food and aromas, Su Lu arrived at a stall selling small handicrafts, looked at a black wooden sign and asked:
"Boss, how much does this thing cost?"
"Take the ten eldest sons."
The boss is a middle-aged man with a goatee, who should have not opened it today, looking at the mutton soup stall next to him, and constantly swallowing in his throat.
Su Lu stretched out his hand and touched his waist, and then he came to his senses, he was used to leading soldiers to fight, how could he bring money on his body on weekdays.
Su Ge next to him took out the money bag, counted out ten copper coins, and handed them to the boss.
"Ten eldest sons, the boss has taken it."
The boss took the money, but he didn't care about counting it, so he turned around and handed it to the guy at the mutton soup stall next to him.
"Lao Niu, bring your uncle a bowl of haggis soup, the ingredients should be sufficient, damn, put less spicy seeds, Lao Tzu has no money to buy cakes."
Under the disgusted gaze of the sheep soup stall guy, the boss picked up the black porcelain soup bowl, took a sip along the edge of the bowl, closed his eyes, and his face was full of satisfaction.
Su Lu took the black card, looked at it carefully, and didn't see anything, but he always felt a little strange, so he simply handed it to Su Ge and said:
"Wrap it up and give it to Your Majesty."
Su Ge bought a small box from the stall next to him, used fifteen big ones, and then put away the cards with great importance.
Su Lu sat down on the haggis soup stall and said to the boss, "Boss, have a bowl of haggis soup and another cake." ”
Su Ge looked at the grease on the table, the pulp on the stool, and the hand holding the handkerchief with disgust, not knowing where to wipe it.
"Your Excellency?"
Su Lu glanced at Xiao Liu next to him, and said with a smile: "The things are bought, Su Ge, you take someone back first, Xiao Liu, you bring a few brothers from Huzi to stay, and drink a bowl of haggis soup with me." ”
"Gotcha"
The farmer came over with a bowl of haggis soup and put it in front of Su Lu, and then looked at the few big men sitting around him, his face was grim.
"This, objectively, we have enough sheep soup, but only one person is enough, but no matter how many of them are enough."
Su Lu glanced at Su Ge, Su Ge took out a small piece of broken silver from the bag, slapped it on the table, and stared at the work viciously: "If there are good things, go ahead." ”
The guy grew his mouth: "This, guest, you don't need so much, a bowl of soup is only ten big children." ”
Su Ge didn't leave after all, he wiped and wiped the stool he was going to sit on, and the chopsticks sent by the guy were also wiped seven or eight times before he dared to use them.
Xiao Liu is casual, pick up chopsticks and start eating, applauding while eating, this mutton soup stall business is so good, there is a reason.
"I heard that the North Road was defeated, and the Tianqi City was lost, and General Xie's head was ordered to be the head of the city."
"Tian Yan Xie family? Is it Diaoyin County's festival envoy Xie Wan, that General Xie? ”
"It's not a problem, Lord Su pressed the Jiedu Envoy Mansion of Diaoyin County in Hanshui City, she had to move to Tianqian City, now it's okay, the entire Diaoyin is gone."
"I heard that the four royal courts of Tule have all rebelled, don't blame General Xie."
"Then who knows, it's dead anyway."
The sound of the diners next to him talking made Su Lu stunned for a moment, and he paused to drink the soup.
The city of Tianqi was broken, Xie Wan was killed in battle, and the court of the four kings of Thule rebelled?
How so!
Su Lu looked at Su Ge next to him, "How many days have you received the military intelligence report?" ”
Su Ge shook his head: "Our group stayed at the post station, and I have heard from the post man several times that there is a sergeant who transmits military information, if there is such important information, it should be here now." ”
Su Lu's face darkened, and he was about to speak, when the crowd in the market town suddenly became noisy.
A guard led an eight-hundred-mile urgent summons sergeant over and tapped the ground on one knee in front of the sheep soup stall.
"The little one has seen the prince, this is an eight-hundred-mile rush from the military department."
Before he could finish speaking, two more horsemen galloped from outside the market town, and immediately the knights also arrived in front of the sheep soup stall and touched the ground on one knee.
"The little one has seen the prince, this is the eight hundred miles of General Gongqian Guan Zhang Lu."
"The little one has seen the prince, this is the eight hundred miles of General Dong Cheng of Yumen Pass."
Su Lu glanced at the people around him, picked up the mutton soup bowl and took a sip, the taste was good, the salty and spicy was moderate, the taste was delicious, and he couldn't complain that the business was so good.
Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Su Lu got up and commanded:
"Since it's all 800 miles expedited, then you don't need to read it, go back to Beijing with me."
"Su Ge, abandon the car and change horses, and rush back to the capital tonight."
On the sheep soup stall, the guy with the silver money in his hand reacted and chased out of the stall a few steps.
"Lord Wang, I haven't looked for your money yet."
After shouting a few words, seeing that no one wanted to turn back, the man rolled his eyes, stuffed the silver into his bag, took out dozens of big coins from his bag, and counted them carefully.
"One bowl, two bowls, great, twenty big sons will do."
As soon as I turned my face, I saw the shopkeeper's unkind gaze.
"Bring the money paid by the prince."
"Just these twenty eldest sons."
The guy said with a stiff neck.
The shopkeeper's face was annoyed: "I saw it, the prince's guards gave a handful of silver, not to mention hundreds of big sons, are you kid me blind." ”
The guy's face was red, "Nonsense, whoever eats two bowls of mutton soup will give hundreds of big sons, it's not that you take the prince for a fool." ”
The surrounding diners are also talking.
"This sheep soup is good, the prince is willing to stay and eat it, it is worthy of a good reputation."
"In the future, you have to recognize the number of this family when you drink soup, and the mutton soup that the prince is willing to drink will definitely not taste bad."
For a while, there were voices of discussion everywhere, and the villagers who had been watching the excitement around also rushed over.
"The mutton soup that the prince has eaten, that is what the heavenly martial arts have eaten, and I will also eat a mouthful."
"After eating soup today, tomorrow will go to join the army, and we will also get back to the light of the prince's martial arts star."
