The proprietress didn't mind Xuanyi's attitude, and turned to Dongshuang, "Little boy, take a look." ”

"Okay, let's do ten." Winter frost directly claps the board. Ten sets cost one hundred taels of silver, and Xuanyi said that it was not expensive.

The proprietress looked at a few of them and asked them, "Are you going out?" ”

Winterfrost: "Boss, let's go west." ”

The proprietress kindly reminded them: "Nobles, you had better prepare sufficient horse food and food, the further west you go, the more desolate it becomes, and there are not as many people in the market as here." ”

The group prepares food for the journey. Xuanyi muttered: "I thought it would be unpleasant to travel in the mountains and rivers, but I didn't expect it to be such a down-and-out appearance." ”

Winter frost: "Nomads raise cattle and sheep, and the food and clothing are all on livestock. Girl, you can follow the local customs. ”

Winter Frost couldn't understand Xuanyi's hypocrisy. The group prepared a cart of food and returned to the inn to rest. At dawn the next day, the group got up to wash and eat, and prepared to hit the road.

The weather was cold in the early morning, and when I walked out of the door of the inn, the cool air came to my face. There is frost on the ground,

Xuanyi sat on the horse with his hands in his hands, and there was a fox fur in the clothes he carried, but it was a snow-white fox fur. She couldn't bear to take it out and let the wind and sand poison the fox fur.

Dongshuang took out the leather robe and threw it to Xuanyi, who took it in his hand, his eyes were full of disgust, and he still draped it on his body. Winter Frost is right, follow the local customs.

Leaving the county seat, the suburbs are vast grasslands, withered grass, cattle and sheep are everywhere, and tents are scattered on the grassland. Smoke rose from the tent.

"It's so beautiful, this is what it is to enjoy the mountains and rivers." Xuanyi's horse galloped in the meadow.

Xuanyi ran around, but no one cooperated with him, so he ran back and encouraged the two of them to say, "You are indifferent to such a beautiful scenery." ”

Jiang Yao and Dongshuang looked at each other and smiled, and the three of them galloped. There are herders milking cows outside the yurt.

Xuanyi turned the horse's head and ran towards the yurt, and Jiang Yao and Dongshuang followed. "Hello, sister-in-law."

Xuanyi turned over and dismounted, squatted in front of the woman, and watched with interest.

The woman greeted Xuanyi warmly, "Girl, sister-in-law will make milk tea for you in a while." ”

Xuanyi nodded, "Thank you, sister-in-law, Jiang Yao, Dongshuang, sister-in-law invited us to drink milk tea." ”

Yesterday I was disgusted with the fishy leather robe, but today I changed my attitude. The guards came in a carriage. There were several shepherd dogs around the yurt, barking at strangers.

"They are guests, and you have to be kind to them." The hostess said softly to the sheepdog.

Xuanyi had been following the woman, curious about the life of the herders. Outside the yurt, there was a simple stove, and the hostess piled up cow dung and lit it to sit in a cauldron.

The aroma of boiled milk overflows. The man boiled a pot of hand-handled mutton, and a group of people sat around the grass, and the grass was covered with thick wool felt.

The male host enthusiastically persuaded him to drink, and the boldness and enthusiasm of the grassland people moved Jiang Yao and the others, and they unconsciously ate and drank a meal, and most of the day passed.

Before leaving, Dongshuang left twenty taels of silver, and the hostess said nothing, "We are happy that you can stay as guests." We rarely see people passing by here, and our meeting in Pingshui is fate. How much money can be spent on a meal is something produced in your own home. ”

"Sister-in-law, it's not about money, it's your sincere heart that touches us. There are very few opportunities for you to go to Chang'an, even if we want to express our hearts. This is reserved for the children, give the children pocket money, and hope that the sister-in-law will not dislike it, please accept our meager heart. ”

Winter Frost handed over the silver taels to the children, rode on the horse, forked hands and said goodbye to the sister-in-law. The kindness between people from the heart touched Winterfrost.

"Sister-in-law will have a period later. If one day, you can come to Chang'an and mention Frost Gongzi, someone will take you to contact me. ”

The group walked for a day until sunset, the sky was dark, and there was no one on the road ahead. As soon as the sun sets, the coolness immediately envelops from all sides.

The group set up camp on the spot, picked up dead branches and leaves, and set up a fire. The terrible howls of the wild wolves came from all directions.

In order to keep the fire bright all night, the guards found two trees, cut down the trees with an axe, cut off the branches to make a fire, and put a pot to boil water for cooking.

The cake is cut into pieces and the meat is stewed in a pot, and the soup and water are hot anyway. After eating a full meal, he felt a little hot, and Xuanyi sat by the fire, wearing a leather robe.

The guards laid out bearskin mats and went to bed early around the fire. In the second half of the night, someone was going to get up and keep vigil. The seven of them were huddled together, and the leather robes were stacked together, so much warmer, and even the head and face were covered in the leather robes.

The temperature at night is too different from the day, and at night it is dripping into ice. Jiang Yao kept adding firewood to the fire, "You guys rest early." Jiang Yao said to Xuanyi and the others.

Xuanyi moved the mat to the side of Winter Frost, "Squeezing and sleeping hot." ”

Winter Frost gave up a place without saying a word, turned his back and lay down. Xuanyi stacked the two leather robes together, curled up and lay down, his head and face covered in the leather robes.

Jiang Yao and his entourage slept in the wild for two days in a row. Xuanyi truly understands what it is to travel and travel around, eat and sleep in the open.

Last time, she returned to Chang'an from Luoyang with Jiang Yao and Dongshuang, and she could always catch up with the post station to rest earlier or later along the way. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are not as comfortable as at home, at least they can be guaranteed.

This is good, there is no one for a hundred and ten miles. On the way, a river passed through the grassland, and the group came to the river to wash.

Xuanyi took a picture near the water, and the reflection in the water frightened her to jump. Who is that unkempt man? She hadn't looked in the mirror for a few days. This clear river betrays her true image.

She stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Yao's sleeve, "Jiang Yao, I don't want to wear this mask, it's ugly." I've just been scared of myself, that ugly woman, I don't want to be an ugly woman. ”

Jiang Yao agreed, "Okay, I'll remove the mask now." Winter frost, do you want a mask to shield the wind and sand in the wilderness? ”

"Childe, okay." Winter Frost rushed over.

"I'll wear it anyway." Ugly is a little ugly, but you can protect your original face.

Xuanyi went to the river to wash his face again, closing his eyes to avoid this face that he couldn't bear to look at directly.

Jiang Yao and his entourage hurried away with a meal and a camping place. Liu Ye and his party traveled lightly and hurried to Zhaoyi Town.

Liu Ye and they rested at the post station all the way, and more than 100 people were equipped with thousands of good horses. In four days, the group came to Luzhou.

Half a year after the last time he left Luzhou, Liu Ye returned to his old place. Last year was still bloody and bloody, and this year he stepped on this land again, and Liu Ye was proud of his military career.

Because of their bloody struggle, there is peace and stability in Luzhou today. The group planned to quietly enter Luzhou, and did not notify Lu Jun, the envoy of Zhaoyi Jiedu, in advance.
