Chapter 61: Road Meets Allies 1
Duan Qingqian and Shadow took the lead in setting off, and Dark Night was injured again because he played An Qinghuan, Duan Qingqian asked him to heal his injuries and catch up with them, so it was later, at this time Duan Qingqian had already arrived at the border town of An Chao and Qiao Kingdom.
Duan Qingqian and the shadow continued to hurry after lunch, hoping to enter the city before dark, just out of the border town of An Dynasty, Duan Qingqian felt that the road was a little weird, and the bright and dazzling sun of An Dynasty seemed to put away its light at this time, and it looked much darker.
The shadow looked up at the sky, and the people were also a little vigilant, the last time he entered Qiao Country with Shen Rihui, he didn't feel this way.
"Princess, it's a little weird?"
Duan Qingqian also felt it, but she didn't feel the dangerous aura.
"It's okay, take it easy, after all, it's ten miles of different days."
Although Duan Qingqian said that he was fine, the shadow did not dare to relax for half a minute.
The two of them continued to walk forward, and the sky became darker and darker, as if it was dusk.
Duan Qingqian looked up at Heavenly Dao.
"Hurry up, I'm afraid it's going to rain."
As he spoke, the rain began to fall.
The two hurried forward, hoping to find shelter from the rain.
"There is a stone cave in front, take shelter from the rain first."
"Yes, Princess."
The rain has just come down, they avoided it in time, the rain only wet the coat, this is also easy to do, there are clothes in the baggage, just change it, but the rain does not look like it wants to stop, how can they hurry?
Just as they were bored and looking at the rain outside, footsteps were heard not far away, and the shadow said.
"Princess, someone is coming."
Although Duan Qingqian is not proficient in the use of internal force, because she has internal strength, she can also be as deaf and clear as a martial arts practitioner.
"Well, I heard it too, there are two of them, and we'll wait and see what happens."
"Yes."
Duan Qingqian was still looking at the non-stop rain outside as he had just now, but the shadow couldn't be as calm as Fang Cai's heart, it was unknown whether the person who came was friend or foe, he had to be cautious and cautious.
The two people outside, because they were in a hurry to avoid the rain, saw a cave in front of them, and directly transported them to the cave.
The two of them came in only to find Duan Qingqian and Shadow.
"Excuse me."
Duan Qingqian nodded slightly in response.
The two people who just came in wrung the water on their clothes on the side, and when the water met, they went their separate ways when the rain stopped, and they had their own things, so the two sides were silent for a while, looking at the rain outside.
Qiaoguo is a country with its own mystery, the rain will fall when it is said, and it will stop when it is said, it is dusk at this time, and the rain is gradually getting lighter.
Duan Qingqian originally planned to enter the city before dark, at this dusk, although it was later to hurry, it was better than spending the night in this cave, this is the boundary of Qiao Country, barren mountains and mountains, and it would be troublesome for the third watch to run out of some unknown creatures in the middle of the night to attack them.
The two people who sheltered from the rain here also planned to enter the city before dark, and both sides had the same idea, and after giving a hint to their respective guards, they resigned to each other, but they didn't expect to speak at the same time.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Duan Qingqian asked.
"Your Excellency is also leaving?"
The man nodded.
"Exactly, and so is Your Excellency?"
"Hmm."
"Why don't you join us?"
"It's fine."
As he spoke, the four of them took advantage of the rain to move forward together.
Duan Qingqian didn't have the idea of getting too familiar with the other party, and walked on his own, but the man who was with her wanted to befriend Duan Qingqian, he recalled that when they rushed into the cave just now, Duan Qingqian and they were still calm, presumably they knew that they were rushing to the cave, and at this time, they were walking calmly and their breath was not chaotic, which showed that their internal strength was profound, as far as the current point of view, it was difficult for him to see their depth, so he took the initiative to talk.
"Under the surname Yu, the name is Yubin, this is my guard, Jiang Gao, I don't know what Your Excellency is called?"
Duan Qing looked at the other party and didn't look like a sinister villain, and replied.
"Jian Qing, this is Lin Ping."
The shadow greeted Yu Yubin, and Yu Yubin politely replied.
"Fortunately. Are you coming from the An Dynasty? ”
"Well, presumably Childe is too?"
"Exactly. Looking at Childe's outfit, it's not like doing business in the past? I don't know if the son came to Qiao ......"
Yu Yubin didn't finish his words, Duan Qingqian smiled and said, looking like you and I knew it.
"The best thing in Qiao Country is all kinds of strange medicinal herbs, what do you say?"
"You're here looking for medicinal herbs?"
Duan Qingqian nodded.
Yu Yubin saw Duan Qingqian's reply like this, and doubts flashed in his eyes, Duan Qingqian thought about whether there were really any special medicinal materials?
Duan Qingqian continued to deceive him and said calmly.
"Yu Gongzi, we understand that people don't talk foolishly, and I will also say it bluntly, I am here for medicinal materials."
Although Yu Yubin was shrewd, he had a preconceived idea, thinking that the people who went to Qiao Country at this time should have the same purpose as him, otherwise what would he be doing in the city at this time? This is not the peak season for buying and selling medicinal herbs.
"Jian Gongzi is refreshing, I don't hide it, I also went to the medicinal herbs, I didn't expect it to rain on the way, and the weather in Qiao Country is also like Qiao Guo, which is always different from ordinary people and common things."
"Not really."
"Childe is looking for medicinal herbs this time, but there are also seriously ill people in the family?"
Duan Qingqian sighed helplessly.
"Not really."
Yu Yubin patted Duan Qingqian's shoulder, and said worriedly.
"Alas, I just hope that this trip will be fruitful."
"Seeing that the son is full of sorrow, the sick people at home are close to the son?"
"Hmm. You and I are destined, don't come to the son, I'm a few years older than you, if you don't dislike it, you can call me big brother. ”
Duan Qingqian didn't shirk it, and generously called the eldest brother.
"Brother Yu."
"Brother Jane."
They chatted a little along the way, but the two sides were still a little guarded, and they finally entered the city before the city gate closed.
A farm in the An Dynasty.
At this time, the dark night has been released, and he is checking the news everywhere in Zhuangzi in order to grasp the movements everywhere in time, so that he knows in his heart.
"Does the princess have a message for me?"
"Nope."
Duan Qingqian didn't leave a word for Dark Night, according to what they agreed before, Dark Night would find a way to meet Duan Qingqian after arriving in Qiao Kingdom, and after checking the news, Dark Night immediately set off for Qiao Kingdom.
The first three towns of the town where Dark Night is located are the town where An Yunmo is located.
Although An Yunmo eats and sleeps in the open, this does not prevent him from learning about the news everywhere.
"Where is the princess now?"
"According to the distance calculation, the princess should enter the city at this time."
"Did you leave in the dark?"
"The night guard has set off, and he can go to Qiao Country in three days."
An Yunmo heard that the dark night had set off, and he was also relieved, Qiao Guo was not as good as An Chao, Duan Qingqian returned to Qiao Guo this time to find medicinal materials, if he met a pharmacist, it would be difficult to deal with, and he also had to speed up his journey, the border towns were relatively large, and he couldn't get out of the town for a day.
Qiaoguo Town.
Duan Qingqian and Yu Yubin had entered the city at this time.
"Brother Jian, it's getting late, why don't we rest for the night at the inn in front?"
"Okay."
"The shopkeeper, four rooms."
"Okay, four rooms. Guest officer, please. ”
After Duan Qingqian, Yu Yubin and others went back to the room to put their luggage, they had dinner in the hall.
Duan Qingqian was a little absent-minded when he was eating, and Yu Yubin also noticed it and asked.
"Brother Jian, what's the trouble? I don't know if it's inconvenient to talk to Brother Wei, see if Brother Wei can help in any way? ”
Duan Qingqian frowned, opened his mouth and hesitated, and sighed before he said.
"Don't hide it from Brother Yu, I sneaked out this time, at that time I overheard the elders mention that there is a place here in Qiao Guo where there are rare medicinal materials, saying that it is very magical, I know that the elders are worried about my safety, and they will definitely not agree to me to go to Qiao Country alone, so I don't dare to ask carefully, thinking about coming to Qiao Country and then investigating carefully. Alas! I didn't expect to encounter a strange heavy rain before I entered the city, and if it wasn't for Brother Yu to lead the way, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find my way into the city, but now that I'm in the city, I'm worried about how to get to that place. ”
Brother Jian said this, politely. I know some friends for my brother, and I will find them to lead the way tomorrow, and it will be much easier for us to go. ”
"Brother Yu's friends are all over the world, and the younger brother admires him very much."
"You're welcome, you're welcome, come, eat."
At night, Duan Qing was in a shallow room.
"Shadow, you go and find out, Qiao Guo has produced any precious medicinal materials, you can still tell Yu Yubin in a day or two, after a long time, I'm afraid he will find out."
"Yes."
"By the way, let people inquire about Yu Yubin."
"Yes."
Next to another room.
Jiang Gao asked puzzled.
"Childe, why did we invite each other to go with us? There is only one bottle of medicine, and one more person to go to it is not one more opponent? ”
"Don't worry, Qiao Guo's news is not something that can be heard casually, especially this kind of secret news."
"Shall we take them there tomorrow?"
"Well, let's take a look at their details first, there are too many people who want to get the medicine, maybe there will be any danger on the road, one more person can help us share the danger, I think the guard called Lin Ping's martial arts are on par with us, Jian Qing's martial arts are mediocre, his internal strength comes and goes, I'm afraid it's just getting started, and it can't be well controlled, there is such a person with strong martial arts as a guard, Jian Qing's identity is not low."
"It's still Childe's thoughtfulness."
"Keep an eye on them along the way, and if you find them cheating on me at the end, I'll leave them behind halfway."
"Yes, Childe."
In the middle of the night, the shadow spy came back from hearing the news, and brought back the letter written by An Yunmo before.
In these days when he was away, Duan Qingqian slept lightly, and as soon as the shadow arrived at the window, Duan Qingqian was already aware of it.
"How?"
"I haven't heard anything, and I've already sent someone out to investigate."
"Well, report back immediately if there's news."
"Yes. This is the king's letter, and it has been for many days. ”
Duan Qingqian glanced at it and said.
"You look at him back, it's not all those few words."
The shadow didn't dare to look at it, but still handed it respectfully.
Duan Qingqian knew that the shadow was persistent, and reached out to take it.
"Go down and rest."
"Yes. The subordinates retired. ”
Duan Qingqian opened the letter, the content of this time made her eyes shine, although she couldn't understand An Yunmo's arrangement, but this time she was finally satisfied with what he wrote, and finally told her the truth, not until he came to her to know, nor did she listen to anyone outside.
Duan Qingqian looked at the last time left in the letter, in this way, in five days, An Yunmo will also arrive in Qiao Kingdom, and it will not be difficult to catch up with them after entering Qiao Kingdom.
Could it be that An Yunmo knew about Qiao Guo's rare medicinal materials, so he came over in person? If so, it won't be a problem to hold Yu Yubin for a few days.
Duan Qingqian burned the letter written by An Yunmo, and did not reply to An Yunmo, since he is almost here, everything will be talked about when he arrives, now that there is Yu Yubin, an unknown person, it is better for her to use less of the power that An Yunmo has secretly cultivated, so as not to be discovered by him.
