Chapter 680: The Unwillingness of the Weak Chicken
It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles.
The little fat man once heard Yue Qianqiu say such a sentence, he has been holding back in Jinling for so many years, and he also yearns for the life of traveling thousands of miles, however, after a few days of hurrying down, he didn't have time to see any customs and customs, if he didn't remember the responsibilities on his body and his father's instructions, he couldn't wait to go back to Jinling directly.
He doesn't want to travel the world in his life!
Although the inner thigh was wrapped layer after layer by layer by Yue Qianqiu with silk tape, and it was grinded a lot, and when riding a horse, it gradually did not have the initial feeling of dying in pain, but the boring rush made the little fat man who had always been greedy for freshness very weak. In addition, three meals a day are casually dealt with to fill his stomach, and after only four or five days, he quickly lost weight.
If you weren't very familiar with him before, at first glance, your body shape will quickly distinguish him from the legendary Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was nicknamed Ying Xiaochuan by the Prince of Yue Jiu, would be so thin? Fool the ghost!
In the evening of this day, when he saw another city in front of him, the little fat man had already been accustomed to not entering the city, or Qing Fengnian or the little monkey went to buy supplies, anyway, he didn't have the share of entering the city by himself, so he didn't move his eyes. But to his surprise, Yue Qianqiu, who was walking in front, suddenly greeted him.
"I'm ready to enter the city, Jiyue, you help watch it, don't forget everyone's identity!"
The little fat man's eyes widened unexpectedly, and when he confirmed that Yue Qianqiu was indeed talking about entering the city, he suddenly felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart after sleeping in the open for days. You know, he's been longing for a clean bed and a well-prepared meal for a long time.
It's just that when the group followed the caravan in front of them through the city gate, and saw a number of soldiers guarding it tightly, checking the road guide, he couldn't help but feel his heart pounding again.
Don't be aware of your identity, otherwise the hardships he had to suffer all the way would be in vain!
The nervous little fat man looked at Yue Qianqiu, who was smiling, and went up to talk to people, the kind of long-sleeved and good dancing words and deeds were completely different from the arrogant Nine Princes in Jinling City, and he couldn't help but secretly marvel. Seeing that Zhou Jiyue was beside him, he asked in a low voice: "Sister Zhou, does Qianqiu count this as seeing people talking about people, and talking nonsense when you see ghosts?" ”
Zhou Jiyue suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Just think about his master." ”
The little fat man suddenly realized. Back then, Yan Xu had been in the market for several years, how could he not have this ability? So, seeing that Yue Qianqiu's acting skills were full of enthusiasm to deal with the inspection of the road guide, and he raised his hand to beckon them into the city, he followed everyone very calmly.
As he passed by a few city guards, he noticed that others were glancing at his face, and he was actually curious to look at the other person's face for a moment. After a while, he saw people retract their gazes and talk in a low voice with their companions.
"It was the Luo Ji firm over there in Jurong, and the elders died of illness, so the young owner ran out with the children. This interest is good, I went all the way to the mountains and rivers before, and even ate and drank all the way, you look at their dusty bodies. ”
"The one in the middle is the owner? It doesn't look small, why are people in their thirties so unreliable? ”
"What's the use of thirty? Just now, the kid who was very good at talking complained that this owner didn't have a serious job, how important it was to come out to do the goods this time, he knew how to play around, and just bring a stupid nephew out, all the old people were lost, and the ones brought were young and useless. That kid boasted that he could do the math, and said that everyone else was a half-sized kid who didn't know anything about it......"
The little fat man has good ears, and besides, those city guards are not afraid of them hearing at all, and they are talking there unscrupulously, and he suddenly looks at Yue Qianqiu angrily. How dare you say he's stupid? And say that others don't understand anything?
After entering the city, even the little monkey couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Brother Yue Jiu, are we really that useless?" ”
"Do you know the reckoning? Do you know the bargain? What's the best thing to sell in the north, what's the best thing to collect, you know? Yue Qianqiu asked several questions in one breath, and when he saw that the little monkey suddenly shut up, he glanced at the little fat man who was huffing and said, "Our owner is still a person who has earned a lot of money lightly and skillfully, you don't know how to do business, of course it's a mallet." ”
The extension of the mallet, people in these years really don't understand, but even the most honest Qingfeng Nian, after a trip to Beiyan, has also gained a lot of experience, and the original square and hard character has added a lot of sleekness, so as not to get angry rashly. Therefore, only the little fat man muttered to Zhou Jiyue angrily: "Sister Zhou, you still want to cure Qianqiu?" He even scolded you! ”
Zhou Jiyue smiled indifferently: "If it is the south, he dares to say this about me, I naturally want to give him something powerful, but I really haven't been to the place north of Jinling, if he wants to say that I am a mallet, I can't help it." ”
Seeing Zhou Jiyue say while throwing a meaningful look, Yue Qianqiu hurriedly raised his hand and surrendered: "I'm just making an analogy, I really don't mean to belittle you." These gate guards, the more you behave inscrutablely, the more likely they will be to inquire about you behind their backs. Besides, I didn't enter the city all the way before, so I have to find an excuse......"
Xiao Jingxian saw that the streets were gradually becoming less crowded because of the sunset, so he smiled and said, "But you are not afraid of being smart but being mistaken by being smart?" You know, many people know who our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is close to, and they may not guess that he left his large army and rushed alone with us. ”
Yue Qianqiu found that Xiao Jingxian's voice seemed to be ringing in his ears, and then looked at the others, except for the little fat man who realized it later, they all noticed this phenomenon, and he was quite moved by this, he saw that there were no outsiders around, so he whispered: "This is the reason why I left Ah Yuan and Ah Ning to follow Master and them together." As long as they are a little swaggering, who will pay attention to how many of us are here? ”
Nonsense is all the way, but at this time, after all, it is the accommodation that is the most important. Since they all kindly laughed at their companions for being inexperienced, Yue Qianqiu naturally resigned himself to inquiring about the inn and hostel that matched their identity this time, and it was already night when they settled down. However, as soon as he stepped into the independent small courtyard, the little fat man who had been tossing for several days couldn't help but moan.
"Finally a good night's sleep!"
"Not only can you get a good night's sleep, but you can also take a good bath." Speaking of this, Yue Qianqiu suddenly said meaningfully, "I have to add some ingredients to the bath water to get rid of the lice on your body." ”
The little fat man didn't hear this, but when he heard this, he suddenly felt itchy all over his body, and he was terrified. He is not the kind of Emperor Jin Hui who doesn't eat minced meat, he often goes out and wanders around, and he knows what lice are that are absolutely impossible in the palace, and at this time he even feels that even the roots of his hair are itchy.
It was easy to get to Yue Qianqiu to allocate the house, and sure enough, he was assigned to a piece with him, and he immediately grabbed someone and planned to settle the account. didn't think that Yue Qianqiu would easily break free from him, and then said angrily: "Everyone has to clean up tonight, and then you can't go on the road in the dust, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, and I have to go to hot water." ”
It turns out that the hot water is indeed to be rushed. This inn, which is known as a century-old inn, has a lot of customers, especially the group of people who have not stayed well for a few days, and the demand for hot water is very high. If it weren't for Xiao Jingxian's appearance as if he was not bad for the second ancestor of Qian and rewarded that guy with a small silver bill, there would have been no continuous buckets of hot water sent over.
And the little fat man who originally suspected that Yue Qianqiu was pampering himself, after watching the person take out the medicinal powder from the package and sprinkle half of it in the big bath bucket in one go, and then pour hot water in one go, he only felt that his scalp was numb. If he knew that he would have to burn the pig before killing it, the bad feeling would have been even stronger.
"What are you doing in a daze, go wash it! It was my master's special sterilization and disinfection powder, which used to be used for the big and small pairs, because the two mud monkeys didn't know where to roll back in the mud, and the teacher was afraid of attracting lice, so she had to catch someone in the yard every day and wash it well. Remember, hold your breath and sink into the water as soon as you enter, otherwise I don't care if you really get lice on your head! ”
After saying this, Yue Qianqiu stretched out his hand and said, "Hurry up, take off your clothes and give it to me, I'll let the guy send it to be burned, and then change it to a new one." Well, the previous journey was hard for you, and you won't be so tired anymore! ”
The little fat man was stunned, and his robe had been picked off by Yue Qianqiu's movements. Although the two of them had taken a bath together in the Jin Palace, it was different from the current scene. He hurriedly drove Yue Qianqiu outside the screen, stripped off his clothes and piled them under the bathtub, and quickly climbed in. As a result, he panicked so much that he planted it headfirst down.
Hearing the ooo and the sound of the water that followed, Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but be angry and funny. Sure enough, if he hadn't run over to take a hand, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was freshly baked by Dawu, would probably have choked half to death in the bathtub. It was easy to straighten the little fat man and sit down, and after hearing an earth-shattering cough, he patted the wet shoulder considerately.
"Exercise more in the future. To be honest, this time I have to go this way, but also to let you know how difficult it is to travel thousands of miles. As for this bath water, it's your own anyway, it's not a big problem to drink it, the powder is edible, and I think the big and small pairs didn't eat their bath water at the beginning. Okay, soak up the bubbles to relieve fatigue, I'll bring in clean clothes later, and you can change into them and sleep. ”
Seeing that Yue Qianqiu had already strode out after speaking, the little fat man couldn't help but shout: "What about you?" ”
Yue Qianqiu waved his hand casually: "Although I also take a hot bath, it is common to take a bath with well water after getting up early to practice martial arts, just flush a few buckets of water, and save trouble." As for lice, although I haven't reached the point where I can't add a feather and flies can't fall, it would be an exaggeration to not be able to detect lice on my body. Wash well, and remember to dry your hair when you turn around, otherwise it will be terrible to get caught in the wind and cold after sleeping at night. ”
As soon as Yue Qianqiu left, the little fat man's almost angry emotion just now slowly receded, and was replaced by unspeakable unwillingness. If he doesn't walk out of the palace, he used to be a prince, and now he is a prince, and he doesn't feel that he is very weak, but in the past few days, he has realized again and again how his weakness has slowed down the pace of others.
It can be said that without him, the speed of others can be increased by at least half! Many times the rest was for him.
And now soaking in the hot water that is a little hot, but it makes people feel very comfortable, obviously lazy and doesn't even want to move a finger, but the little fat man only feels that his thinking is extremely active, and even faintly feels that this time he suddenly threw off the army and moved forward in disguise not because of his complaints, nor because of Yan Xu's whim, but I am afraid that my father has already decided.
But he, the prince, is the one who was kept in the dark! Dare to love Yue Qianqiu and Yan Xu teamed up to get him, it's really infuriating!
Although the weather in February was still a little cold, Yue Qianqiu really said to the little fat man, pouring a few buckets of cold water from the head to the end, and washing himself up happily.
In fact, when they were sleeping in the open before, they didn't choose a random place, every place had the mark of the Xuanlong Division, and every place had a clean water source, so when the little fat man was still asleep, he had already taken a cold shower. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stand being in such a hurry, sweaty and sticky.
After wiping off the water droplets on his body, he changed into the clean clothes that the little monkey specially sent to him, but he didn't send the little fat man's set of clothes back to the house first, but went straight to the door of the main room distributed to Xiao Jingxian and Qing Fengnian and knocked on it.
When there was a response from inside, he pushed the door and went in, only to see Xiao Jingxian sitting on stilts, but there was a sound of water in the back room, which was clearly Qingfengnian taking a bath. Seeing him coming, Xiao Jingxian raised his eyebrows and asked, "What, do you have something to say?" ”
Seeing that Xiao Jing got straight to the point first, Yue Qianqiu simply asked, "Is there any follow-up news from Beiyan?" ”
Xiao Jingxian heard the sound of the water in the inner room suddenly became much softer, knowing that Qing Fengnian was probably also pricking up his ears to listen to his answer, he smiled and said lightly: "Now that this is on the road, I have always been with you, where can I inquire about this?" ”
"Don't pretend, Ji Yue's attention has been on you all the way. Who did you see and what actions she did, she remembered them all, do you want me to call her in and do it for you as it is? Or do you think that now that Beiyan is in chaos, we in Dawu will only have you as the only channel to get the news? ”
"I'm not so conceited." Xiao Jing first glanced at Yue Qianqiu, who was sitting on his own ass, and then said in a deep voice, "There was an inner ghost in the palace, but it was attacked from the inside from the outside. Fortunately, Xiao Changheng and Zhen Rong were not unprepared, one was wise at the feet, the other was brave and fearless, and the two of them burned down the palace and fought their way out of the encirclement. Then ......"
Xiao Jingxian heard that there was not even the slightest movement in the inner room, as if Qing Fengnian had held his breath, but Yue Qianqiu in front of him still looked so nervous, he couldn't help but laugh again.
"It seems that it was a mistake to sell you off. Anyway, hundreds of people, including Xiao Changhui and Zhen Rong and the emperor and crown prince, completely disappeared under the noses of the people in Shangjing. And the Northern Yan Emperor's decree to the kings of the Daoqin was spread everywhere. Therefore, it does not matter whether the decree I have at hand is true or false. The important thing is that Beiyan has been in chaos. ”
