In fact, according to Zhou Shaoyu's thoughts, it is completely possible to delay for a while and then appear, but some things are really unbearable. After all, after Zhou Shaoyu appeared, there was still time to hook up further.

Seeing that it was about to reach the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, that is, in 737, Concubine Wu Hui died suddenly in this year, which also made Li Longji lose his favor. Although Concubine Wu Hui doesn't like some of his actions, in the end, she is still his favorite and favorite concubine.

Such a sudden blank period, coupled with Yang Yuhuan's idea in advance, don't let Concubine Wu Hui go, Li Longji can't help but want to start directly. If this is the case, where will Zhou Shaoyu cry at that time.

The distance from Luoyang to Chang'an, and then in later generations, is only less than 400 kilometers, that is, more than 700 miles away, but this is in the case of high speed, changed to ancient times, it is impossible to route so straight, it is inevitable to turn east to watermelon and even over the mountains and mountains.

In addition, this trip is not a fast horse, and a large group of people and horses move slowly, so in terms of speed, it will not be much faster than walking, besides, some people walk on two legs, and not everyone is qualified to ride in a carriage. It takes about fifteen or twenty days to reach this journey, and if it is slower, it will be longer.

Basically, it won't be too smooth, otherwise, why would the emperor of the Tang Dynasty go to Luoyang to 'eat' all the time, isn't it that the materials are not easy to transport.

Chang'an's grain mainly depends on the Guanzhong Plain, although the Guanzhong Plain is known as a land of abundance, but after all, it is small and has a limited capacity, and once the population expands beyond its carrying capacity, or encounters a drought, there will be a food shortage. This situation has existed since the Qin Dynasty and is not a special case of the Tang Dynasty.

Who made Chang'an the capital all the time, so as far as the result is concerned, it will naturally cause more and more people. And more people mean more food and other supplies are needed.

Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the economic center of the country has slowly shifted to the southeast, and most of the materials are transported from the southeast.

But from Luoyang to Chang'an, I really thought it was so easy.

If you take the waterway, between Luoyang and Chang'an, there is a place called Sanmenxia, in ancient times, the shipwreck rate here is extremely high, the ships are sunk, and the materials can not be transported naturally. If you take the land route, then you will inevitably take the road of the Cuihan Ancient Road, which is the throat road from the Central Plains to the Guanzhong region. However, the problem is that because of disrepair and other reasons, the Cuihan Ancient Road has become more and more difficult to walk, and it is difficult to go through the mountains and mountains, even horse-drawn carriages and even walking, let alone large-scale transportation.

In short, under various factors, the materials transported from Luoyang to Chang'an will usually only be half, if there can be eighty percent, it will already be burning high incense, as for the full delivery? I didn't wake up from my dream, right?

As far as the overall route is concerned, it is natural to go out of Luoyang first, pass through Hanhan Valley Pass, then pass through Kip Shi Pass, pass through Shaanzhou, then pass through Qinhan Valley Pass, and then pass through Tongguan, then basically arrive in Chang'an.

There are so many hurdles to go through, which means that the speed will slow down even further.

The emperor's team is easy to say, and there is no one who does not open his eyes to check. Then there was no problem with the civil and military officials. But the last wave of merchant teams, that is, the target of the end point of the check, the local garrison will not let go of such a good opportunity to reap the benefits.

And this inspection naturally distanced itself from the front, and the speed was not fast. With this in mind, the time to actually arrive in Chang'an will be a month later.

That's a month. And most of them are in the wilderness, there is not no city on the road, but there will be a lot of people who will enter the city to rest, how can it be possible not to take the opportunity to increase prices? Even if you start to spend, you may not be able to grab a room.

It's good to say that the time is short, it's been a long time, and for a delicate girl like Yang Yuhuan, it's definitely a hard time, so appearing at this time is naturally a good opportunity.

Because of the existence of Li Tengkong, it is impossible to drive people out. Zhou Shaoyu continued to drive the carriage with a dead face, and said without a ride. Yang Yuhuan rarely replied, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Zhou Shaoyu was not in a hurry, no matter what people's attitudes were, they still looked happy, and they didn't say anything else, just watched them and their group gnaw dry food all day long.

Luoyang out of not far away, is the Hanhan Valley Pass, far away lined up a long line to check, the progress can be described as slow, to pass the inspection out of the pass is not far away, have passed two or three days, and this is just out of the customs, there is no city on the road, at most there is a village far away.

Because Li Tengkong always brought food from Zhou Shaoyu this year, Yang Yuhuan's small mouth had already been raised, and he suddenly ate dry food for a few days, where was he comfortable. Naturally, there were escorts with him, all of whom were brought by Li Tengkong. Li Longji's meaning is the same, the direct sending of the guards has too much influence, and he was originally going to give a TOEFL to Li Linfu, but since Li Tengkong will accompany him, there is naturally no need to ask for special instructions, and Yang Yuhuan's safety can be guaranteed. It is precisely because of this that Zhou Shaoyu can appear through Li Tengkong so aggressively.

But since it's a guard, it's naturally a guard to protect it, hunting or something, but you can't pull away. So if you taste it slowly or something, then don't think about it.

Halfway through, Yang Yuhuan didn't think about ordering people to go to the villages along the way to buy some food, but their carriage procession was not at the front, it was just a few villages, and how much food could there be, it had already been bought up by the team in front, and they couldn't even take out a spare egg. As a last resort, I can only continue to gnaw on dry food.

The old way of eating is naturally very boring, not to mention that the carriage of this year is not so comfortable to sit on, at this time, there will be no cushioning and shockproof technology, and the road will not be so smooth, a few days down, the spirit of the head fell directly to the trough, which made Yang Yuhuan, who was forced to leave Luoyang and go to Chang'an, even more confused, when he was in Luoyang, he was like this, and when he arrived in Chang'an, where he was unfamiliar with life, would it be even worse?

As for the original antipathy for Zhou Shaoyu...... This state of cowardice has long been forgotten, but in the same way, I don't have the energy to pay attention to Zhou Shaoyu's words.

"Looking at this day, it must rain soon, and then there is a rugged mountain road, which is inconvenient for rain, so let's camp here early and rest." Looking at the dark clouds floating in the sky, Zhou Shaoyu proposed.

Zhou Shaoyu's identity as a 'master senior' was said, no matter what other aspects were, at least it rained or something, it would definitely be right, Yang Yuhuan agreed without thinking much about it.

This kind of thing is camping, since it is not Yang Yuhuan's turn to do it himself, he has the Li family's guards to do it for him, and Zhou Shaoyu takes care of himself and builds his own tent.

It is now November, it is already the winter solstice, the weather is cold, plus the rain, the temperature plummets, even if the tent is set up, there is still no lack of cold, Yang Yuhuan is holding an oil-paper umbrella and is supported by the maid to get out of the carriage and enter the tent, it is inevitable that he will be wet by the rain, which makes Yang Yuhuan quite distressed.

This trip is a hurry, naturally there is no condition to come to a hot soup bath, if you get cold, it will never be too easy.

Before entering the tent, she looked at Zhou Shaoyu's unique tent not far in front of her, and she didn't know what Zhou Shaoyu was doing in it, anyway, she hadn't seen Zhou Shaoyu eat.

After resting for a while, the hungry Yang Yuhuan had to endure the nausea again and eat some dry food, he was still hungry, but he really couldn't swallow it, and he didn't want to be at this moment, a strong fragrance wafted in......

Zhou Shaoyu's tent is naturally peculiar, this is not an ancient product, it was brought directly from later generations, not to mention convenient and fast, the area is not small, and it is also attached to build another shed at the entrance of the tent, but it is very comfortable.

At this time, Zhou Shaoyu didn't know where to get a small bench and sit under the shed, a fire was burning in front of him, and a small pot was set up on it, and the strong fragrance came from here.

Li Tengkong, who was also not in high spirits, opened the curtain of the tent and took a look, and was immediately pleasantly surprised.

"Yu Niang, come on, we finally have a mouthful." As expected, he was a good girlfriend, and Li Tengkong immediately beckoned Yang Yuhuan to go over to fight the autumn breeze.

Yang Yuhuan was a little twisted, her senses for Zhou Shaoyu were still complicated.

On the one hand, there is still some antipathy and vigilance. But on the other hand, Li Tengkong's final impression of his predecessors has also been set. It's a bit uncomfortable to suddenly combine the two into one person, but in the end, it's still beating her up after all, so it's not easy to get close.

It's just that......

Yang Yuhuan sniffed, half dead in embarrassment.

"Oh, let's go, it's not the first time you've eaten his stuff." Li Tengkong didn't give Yang Yuhuan a chance to hesitate, he stepped forward and left, he didn't even care about the umbrella, and trotted over with Yang Yuhuan.

Zhou Shaoyu threw out two towels and said with a smile: "You, how can you still look like a cultivator, wipe it first, this thick soup will be fine for a while." ”

"No one said that Qing cultivators don't eat, right?" Li Tengkong blinked, and after getting acquainted with Zhou Shaoyu, it was much more natural. Salivating at the small pot, he asked, "Why is this soup?" ”

"Oh, simple, chicken and mushroom soup, and some ginger in it, just to ward off the cold." Zhou Shaoyu said, sprinkled some salt and stirred twice, this is okay, took out a bowl and spoon and handed it to Li Tengkong, and then handed it to Yang Yuhuan. Seeing that she was still a little hesitant, she smiled and said: "What's the point of hesitation, don't eat for nothing, don't eat for nothing, after all, it's not because of a bowl of soup that you owe me anything." ”

"Thank you." Yang Yuhuan blushed a little, took the bowl and spoon and blew it, feeling that the whole person had lived a lot.

Nonsense, how many days have I eaten dry food, and the first two days there were pastries prepared in advance to taste slowly, and now, the morning is gone.

At this time, Li Tengkong spoke and said, "Why didn't I see you preparing to eat a few days earlier?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Shaoyu raised his eyebrows, looked at Yang Yuhuan, and said, "Naturally, there is a purpose." ”

"What purpose can this be?" Li Tengkong was puzzled.

"This trip is no better than others, no matter how much you prepare to eat, you can only have dry food left, and there are many people on this trip, up to tens of thousands, we are behind the team, and it is impossible to replenish the supplies on the road, because it has already been bought by the people in front. In this way, you can only gnaw dry food, but this thing, just a day or two, and if it grows a little longer, I'm afraid it will be difficult. At this time, if you make food, it is possible for Yu Niang to accept it, right? It's not like you owe anything for a little food, but at least you'll be grateful. ”

Okay, what I said was really straightforward enough, and it suddenly made Yang Yuhuan's movements stiffen, and it was not okay to continue drinking, nor was it to not drink.

"Don't worry, Yu Niang, this must be a joke with you." Li Tengkong hurriedly spoke.

How do you think that Zhou Shaoyu is very ignorant of current affairs: "No, it's not a joke, but serious." ”

After that, he looked at Yang Yuhuan and said freely: "I know that the way I appeared at the beginning was wrong, which caused you to be vigilant and disgusted." But I also won't hide what I mean, but at one point you can rest assured, I'm completely different from a certain big person, and I will never force it on you, under this premise, success or failure, it's not bad to have multiple friends, so there is no need to have a burden in my heart, and I won't be able to live because I can't get you. After all, I will not leave Chang'an, and you can't stay away, why don't you just give me a chance to understand? If I'm still disgusted, I'll never be in front of you again, what? ”

This is Zhou Shaoyu's strategy, anyway, no matter how you explain it, people will have precautions, because people have already decided that they are interesting, since this is the case, why not simply admit it, simple and direct, as long as you put on a frank and free appearance, once people accept this setting, then correspondingly, it will not be so much of a defense and burden, so that there will be no natural opportunity for further relations?

Seeing that Zhou Shaoyu said frankly, his demeanor was not fake, the other party was so frank, and he was 'soft-mouthed', Yang Yuhuan's attitude softened a little. If you think about it, it's true that people have never really been entangled.

So the next trip can be described as a day and a place.

In the first few days, I wanted to die just by gnawing on dry food, but now, it almost changes. God knows where Zhou Shaoyu got the food, and they won't miss their share after all.

After a few more days, we arrived at the Cuihan Ancient Road. It's a difficult and slow process, and it's a lot of anxiety.

"Don't look at this time, as early as the spring period, there was a big war here!" Zhou Shaoyu's words immediately attracted attention.

"In the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin Mugong ascended the throne, the national strength is growing, and he has the intention of dominating the Central Plains, but if he wants to enter the Central Plains, he must fight with the Jin State, and the road to the east is blocked by the Jin State. In that year, Qin Mugong learned that the monarchs of Zheng and Jin were newly mourned, and insisted on sending troops to prepare to cross the Jin State to attack Zheng State. ”

The voice fell, a gust of wind blew, and Yang Yuhuan shuddered, thinking that tens of thousands of people had died in such a place, and for a while I felt that everything was gloomy!
