Chapter Seventy-Eight: Westbound

On the fifth day of the world's drunkenness, the Marquis of Linchuan Mansion celebrated for a full ten days.

After five days of indifference, Wang Xiang didn't go anywhere, just accompanied Wu Shun and Xiao Lori in the house.

When they woke up on this day, the residents of Chang'an City were surprised to find that the peach trees on the shore of Jinguang Lake had bloomed, one branch in the east and one branch in the west, and the peach blossoms in the first bloom were white, like fat, jade, and snow.

An unobtrusive caravan walked through the peach grove on the shore of Jinguang Lake, through the bustling West Market, exited the Yanping Gate, and headed west along the official road.

Chang'an City is the imperial capital of the imperial city, and there are countless caravans coming and going every day, and no one will deliberately pay attention to a small caravan of more than ten people.

Wang Xiang sat bored on the carriage, holding the dim sum box specially prepared for him by Aunt Lin in his hand, and throwing a piece of dim sum in his mouth from time to time. The carriage was not a carriage carrying people, there were bags of grain piled on it, there were corn from the north and rice from the south, the bags of grain were somewhat similar to the sacks of later generations, people would feel hot and dry when they sat on it in this season, but it was better for Wang Xiang than riding a horse.

Sitting on the grain pile with him was Li Huiming, Li Hanming didn't know how to ride a horse, he just felt that it was easier, and he could eat the dim sum in Wang Xiang's snack box at any time.

"Brother Wang, I heard that you went to Yicui Building to offer 100,000 yuan to redeem yourself for Miss Ningxiang, but my little brother admires you very much."

Li Huiming picked out a piece of honey-filled dim sum from the dim sum box and threw it into his mouth like Wang Xiang.

Wang Xiang looked at Li Hanming with a cheap smile on his face and knew that he was also gloating in his heart, this thing's heart was also very wide, a few days ago he was still putting on a miserable appearance in front of Wang Xiang, but now he seems to be fine.

Not only did he fail to help Ning Xiang redeem himself when he went to Yicuilou that day, but even Xiaobei and the others failed to redeem it, and Xiang didn't want to say much about it.

"Brother Li seems to be in a good mood today, and he is willing to send an envoy to Gaochang? Don't worry about running into thieves on the road? ”

Li Hanming smiled: "We are a caravan now, I heard that Xizhou is very kind to the caravan of Datang, besides, there is a place where Brother Liang is still afraid of what kind of thieves." ”

Cheng Chuliang rode Jinghong and followed the carriage, and grinned when he heard Li Huiming's words: "If a thief dares to come, he will not come back!" ”

Since he was nailed to the horseshoe, after a period of cultivation, he has regained his former vigor.

Wang Xiang glanced at them: "I don't want to meet any thieves, it's best to go all the way to Xizhou all the way to Xizhou, and then hurry up to finish His Majesty's errand and then return to Chang'an all the way safely." ”

Cheng Chuliang ignored Wang Xiang's chatter, and said to Li Huiming: "Brother Li, bring me a snack with mutton filling." ”

"Okay." Li Huiming is very enthusiastic about Cheng Chuliang, and this guy pointed to Cheng Chuliang to protect him in his heart.

The three of them ate snacks along the way, chatting about whether it was comfortable.

"Aqinu, that chef in Dengxian Tower is really hateful, even if he is lazy to sit in the truck, he actually secretly prepared snacks."

Wang Xiang is comfortable, and some people are not happy, Ju Yiya has been paying attention to Wang Xiang all the way...... A snack box in your hand.

Looking at Ju Yiya's angry appearance, Ajinu smiled helplessly, for some reason, Ju Yiya always likes to call Wang Xiang cook.

"Princess, the prince is the new deputy envoy, don't let him hear it."

"What's wrong with that?" Ju Yiya raised her neck, and suddenly whispered to Aqinu again, "Aqinu, what kind of snacks did you say his box contained, why is it different from the dim sum we have seen?" ”

Akinu sweated in her heart, and sure enough, her own foodie princess had taken a fancy to other people's dim sum, and Ju Yiya had always had no resistance to food.

In fact, they also purchased some snacks and snacks in Chang'an City before they set off, but after all, they couldn't bring more of these things, and Ju Yiya always couldn't help but taste them and try them again along the way...... As a result, before she had gone far, the prepared snacks had already been tasted by Ju Yiya, and then she noticed the dim sum box in Wang Xiang's hand, which seemed to be even more delicious than the ones they had purchased from the dim sum shop.

The dim sum specially prepared by Aunt Lin is naturally not comparable to those dim sum shops in Chang'an City, not to mention the taste, just the appearance looks very attractive.

"Princess, let's eat some cakes first."

Ju Yiya wrinkled her nose: "Akinu, we should prepare more snacks." ”

"Princess, dim sum is not like dry food, it won't be long enough."

Ju Yiya pouted and took a small bite of the Hu Cake: "The chef of Dengxian Tower has prepared a lot of dim sum, and I see that the three of them have not finished eating all the way." ”

Speaking of this, Ju Yiya suddenly thought of something, she found that Wang Xiang seemed to have more than one dim sum box, every time he finished eating dim sum, he always jumped out of the carriage and didn't know where he went, and when he came back, he had a dim sum box in his hand.

He must have hidden the snack box somewhere. Ju Yiya's eyes rolled, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Wang Xiang did ask Aunt Lin to prepare a lot of snacks, much more than Ju Yiya imagined, these snacks were put into the warehouse by him, the food in the warehouse will not spoil, it will take a lot of time to go to Gaochang, he doesn't want to follow the mission to gnaw on dry food for a few months.

……

"What does Daoist Yuan think of Wang Zixin?"

There are only two people in the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin and Yuan Tiangang, Li Shimin put down the small book in his hand and asked lightly, the small book recorded a conversation between Li Chunfeng and Wang Xiang in the Gewu Academy.

"I can't see through it."

"Oh?" Li Shimin was surprised: "It's the first time I've heard these three words from Daoist Yuan's mouth. ”

"Poor Dao is just ordinary people, and naturally there will be people who can't see through things that can't be seen through."

"Does Daochang Yuan mean that Wang Zixin is not an ordinary person?"

Yuan Tiangang smiled and said nothing.

"The study of sages is the study of emperors, and the study of things is the study of the people of the world." Li Shimin picked up the small notebook again and muttered.

"Your Majesty, Wang Zixin left Chunfeng with something for him to give to His Majesty before leaving."

Li Shimin said curiously: "What is it, why didn't he give it to me personally?" ”

Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said: "What the prince gave to Chunfeng was a sealed box, and Poor Dao didn't know what was inside, but Chunfeng said that the prince asked him to hand over this thing to His Majesty before leaving, and it must not be leaked out." ”

Li Shimin suddenly became interested: "Where is the box?" ”

Yuan Tiangang pulled out a wooden box the size of an inkstone from his wide sleeve, which was sealed with fire paint.

Li Shimin took the wooden box, observed that the fire paint was no different, and then removed the fire paint, and after opening the box, he saw that there was only a folded piece of rice paper inside.
