692. Chapter 692 - Route Selection
The march was a dull and lonely one. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tang Zhou and the others walked for about half a month, and finally left the Shaanxi territory.
And when they left the Shaanxi border, there was a disagreement on what to do next.
They can pass through Shuzhong and go directly to Tibet.
You can also pass through Gansu first, then through Qinghai, and finally reach Tibet.
In comparison, the distance through Shuzhong will be relatively short, and the distance through Gansu and Qinghai will be relatively far.
However, it may be more troublesome to pass through Shu.
At this time, many places in Shuzhong are undeveloped, not even plank roads, and the terrain in Shuzhong is complex, there are many mountains, it is very difficult to go over, if they encounter a broken road, they can only detour, but such a detour, it is a waste of time.
But passing through Gansu and Qinghai did not believe that it was a good way, if they took this road, they would have to pass through the place where the party members lived, and there was a desert in Qinghai, and they might have to cross the desert.
The situation in the desert is also very complicated, and you may not be able to get out if you go in.
Faced with this question, Tang Zhou asked many people's opinions, but many people did not go through these two routes, so they couldn't give a reasonable answer at all, but what Ye Lian'er said was more reasonable.
She used to sell medicinal herbs everywhere and went to many places, and the advice she gave was to go to Gansu, pass through Qinghai, and finally arrive in Tubo, because she felt that although the road was farther, it would be relatively safer, and although it was far, it might be faster to reach Tubo than Shuzhong, because the first route had a lot of overlap with the Silk Road, and the Silk Road had been opened up since the Han Dynasty, so it would be easier to walk.
Tang Zhou hadn't been to these places, but he felt that what Ye Lian'er said had some truth, so after leaving Shaanxi, they went directly to Gansu.
In this way, in a warm spring season, they came to Qinzhou.
The distance between Qinzhou and Chang'an City is not too far, and Tang Zhou's fame has already been heard, so after Tang Zhou's team entered Qinzhou City, it was soon welcomed by the people of Qinzhou.
I have to say that Tang Zhou is too famous, he is the first genius of the Tang Dynasty, his limelight is unique in Chang'an City for a while, and now that he has come to Qinzhou, why are the people of Qinzhou City not curious?
Everyone gathered around to see Tang Zhou's true face, which made Tang Zhou feel like a star walking on the red carpet in later generations.
However, he is not a star after all, so after entering Qinzhou, he rarely showed up, and went directly to the Qinzhou Mansion in a carriage.
Qinzhou's assassin is called Fang Bai, a middle-aged man in his forties, who is quite handsome and extraordinary, Tang Zhou just came into contact with him, and found that he has a strange problem, a habit of cleanliness.
Because when the two were talking, he would always flick the sleeves of his shirt from time to time, which were actually not dusty.
It's not a bad thing to have a habit of cleanliness, but being like Fang Bai is a little uncomfortable, Tang Zhou couldn't help but want to tease him, so when talking to Fang Bai, he would be very enthusiastic from time to time to touch him.
And after Tang Zhou touched Fang Bai, Fang Bai's face became ugly, and he kept rubbing his body on the place where Tang Zhou touched, Tang Zhou looked at him, and he really doubted that he would rub off the skin on his body, of course, Tang Zhou was more interested in another question.
"Does Lord Fang have a wife?"
Tang Zhou suddenly asked such a question, Fang Bai was stunned for a moment, and then asked a little incomprehensibly: "Married, I don't know why the little marquis asked this question?" ”
Hearing that Fang Bai had already married a wife, Tang Zhou suddenly felt very surprised, how could he marry a wife with a cleanliness habit like Fang Bai, he had to have physical contact with his wife every day, didn't he feel dirty?
For people who have a habit of cleanliness, Tang Zhou is really a little incomprehensible.
And just when Tang Zhou wanted to change how to answer Fang Bai, Fang Bai himself suddenly said: "Although I have married a wife, my wife has passed away more than ten years ago, and I haven't married again since then." ”
Hearing this, Tang Zhou suddenly showed a look of enlightenment, no wonder this Fang Bai can live until now, it turns out that although he has married a wife, his wife has already died, otherwise Tang Zhou thinks it is unlikely, how can he have a wife if he is such a clean person?
"Lord Fang must be very affectionate to his wife."
"There, there, I don't know how long the little marquis is going to stay in my Qinzhou City?"
"We have eaten a lot of food from Chang'an, and we need to purchase it in Qinzhou, and we will continue to set off after purchasing, which will take about four or five days."
When they left Chang'an City, the weather was still a little cold, and a lot of food was easy to carry, but as the weather became warmer and warmer, the food would become more and more difficult to store, so they would carry less and less food in the future, and they would need to stop from time to time to replenish.
Fang Bai heard Tang Zhou say that he only needed to stay for four or five days, his face suddenly relaxed, and he also showed a slight smile: "When it comes to supplying food and daily necessities, the little marquis can tell you if you need anything, and the next official will handle it for you." ”
Fang Bai said it very well, but Tang Zhou was even more strange about the change in Fang Bai's face, why did he show a relieved look after hearing him say that he would only stay for four or five days, could it be that in this Qinzhou City, there was any secret that he didn't want to let himself know?
But what didn't he want to know?
Tang Zhou had doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it, and after thanking Fang Bai for his words, he was going to the post house to rest, but before leaving, Tang Zhou deliberately touched Fang Bai again.
After Tang Zhou left the mansion, Fang Bai suddenly became crazy in the living room, he took off the clothes that Tang Zhou had touched just now, and ordered someone to bring a basin of water, and kept washing the places Tang Zhou had touched.
It wasn't until his hands and arms were flushed that he finally stopped satisfied.
When Fang Bai was doing this, Yang Fei, the chief bookkeeper next to him, pouted, but after Fang Bai finished doing this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, this little marquis is definitely deliberate, how hateful you say he is." ”
Hearing this, Fang Bai's face showed a hideous expression, but then he sighed: "Forget it, even if you know that he deliberately disgusted the official, what can you do?" Can I still kill him? You send someone to keep an eye on Tang Feng, give him whatever he wants to supply, let him leave quickly, and definitely not let him find out about Qinzhou City. ”
Yang Fei responded again and again, and said: "Don't worry, my lord, then Tang Zhou has only been in Qinzhou for four or five days, and he will definitely not find out what is going on with us here, just where King Wei is?" ”
"Although the King of Wei hates Tang Zhou, but this official has not received an order to attack Tang Zhou, I think that our Qinzhou is still too close to Chang'an City, if Tang Zhou has an accident here, none of us can get out of it, King Wei does not let us do it, it is also a good thing for us, otherwise you are sure that you can kill Tang Zhou among the three thousand elite soldiers?"
"I can't."
"No, don't hurry up."
