On the next road, Almond was ridden with Sheng Jingyu.

She sat behind Sheng Jingyu and leaned on his back, not as tired as she seemed to be.

The soldiers were a little curious, not knowing where this person came out of nowhere, and had such a close relationship with the emperor.

After some inquiry, I learned that this was actually Concubine Xue who followed her out of the palace, just dressed as a man.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were always looking behind the horse.

Almonds are used to such a gaze, so they don't care.

When they arrived at the next post station, Sheng Jingyu took into account the delicate nature of the almond and sent Li Sheng to buy a carriage.

With the carriage, Almond is finally much more comfortable to sit in, and can sleep in the carriage.

It's just that the carriage is running a little slower, and the speed of the troops is a little slower than before, but it doesn't get in the way.

Today is the fifth day, and it is only a hundred kilometers from Beisai.

It was getting dark, and they finally arrived at a post station, where they could not go any further, and everyone rested in the city.

The closer you get to Beisai, the more the city here gives people a feeling of weathering the sand.

It was the first time for almonds to feel such an exotic atmosphere, and they were very curious to look around along the way.

The crowd poured into the city in armor, and the inns of the whole city were filled for a while.

Almond was a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask Sheng Jingyu.

"How much money does it cost to live with so many people?"

"It's not much, maybe just over a thousand taels." Sheng Jingyu said lightly.

Almond: "......"

It's more than a thousand taels, and her house in the capital is only more than a thousand taels, okay?

That's it, she doesn't understand the world of rich people.

Sheng Jingyu was surprised when she saw her, and added an explanation.

"The wind and sand outside the city are too heavy to build a camp. It is much better to have walls in the city. ”

"Oh."

Almond nodded clearly, and walked into an inn with Sheng Jingyu and Li Sheng, as well as some generals.

"A few military masters, are you going to be a top soldier or staying in a hotel?"

Xiao Er greeted him, and when he saw that there were many of them, he was so enthusiastic that his eyes narrowed with a smile.

"How many rooms do you have here, it's all inclusive, and then prepare a hall of good food and wine for us."

"Hey, okay, the little one will go and prepare it right away!"

Everyone waited at the front desk for a while, and Xiao Er led the shopkeeper to come.

The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, we still have three rooms in the sky, five rooms in the ground, and ten rooms in the personhood, and the shop can sleep more than 100 people, you see...... Are you all-inclusive? ”

"Hmm. It's all inclusive. ”

Li Sheng didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out a few gold ingots and threw them on the table.

"It's a deposit."

The fat-headed, big-eared shopkeeper picked up the gold with shining eyes, put it to his mouth and bit it with his teeth, and his face was even more smiling.

"Okay, Xiao Er will take you to your respective rooms first."

Almond took his own package, followed by Sheng Jingyu and others, and went to choose the Tianzi room first.

There are eight rooms in the Tianzi and Dizi combined, but there are more people on their side, and after Sheng Jingyu and Almond are selected, there is a deputy general who can only go to live in the herringbone room.

The deputy general naturally had no opinion, after all, there were all big guys here, and there was no place for him to speak, but Sheng Jingyu stopped him.

"You live in my room."

Where did this lieutenant dare to stop, he shook his head again and again after hearing this.

Sheng Jingyu said: "You can live, I and Concubine Xue are in one room." ”

The lieutenant general instantly understood something, shook his head, and went directly into the room with his luggage.

Almond was confused on the side, and then he reacted to what Sheng Jingyu said.

Is Your Majesty addicted to sleeping with her now?

She is a person who sleeps so badly, he can even get used to it!

To be honest, almonds are actually used to it, and they don't have the same nervousness as they did at the beginning.

Because she found that Sheng Jingyu seemed to think that she was a man, she had no other suspicions at all.

This made her gradually relax her vigilance, and the two got along very naturally.

The allocation of rooms was arranged, and everyone put their bags and went downstairs to eat.

At this time, the hall on the first floor was already serving food one after another, and almost the entire hall was filled.

Almond and Sheng Jingyu sat down by the window, and they could also look at the scene on the street outside.

"Sure enough, the capital is much more prosperous, there are so few vendors on the streets here, and it is not lively at all." Almond sighed as she looked out the window.

"Well, there has always been a problem with food and clothing here, let alone how developed the business can be. However, this place is remote, and it is really difficult to improve. Sheng Jingyu felt it.

"Your Majesty, you will definitely be able to do it, and you will definitely be able to do it, so that the local people can live and work in peace and contentment."

Almond comforted seriously, and wanted to say something, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by a place outside the window.

On the corner across the street, a skinny teenager was squatting.

He was dressed very sloppily, as if he hadn't washed it for a long time, and his face was so dirty that he couldn't even see his appearance clearly.

At this time, he was holding the white-flour steamed bun in his hand and devouring it, looking like he should be hungry.

Almond thought that this should be a little beggar, but those bright eyes made her look twice.

"Let's eat."

The meals were all served, and Sheng Jingyu's voice recalled Almond's gaze.

Almond looked at the big fish and meat on the table, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Wow! It smells so good! I'm going! ”

In the days she was on the road, she simply hadn't had a good meal.

If you want to say that the food cooked by logistics is unpalatable, it's not, it may be similar to what she ate when she first entered the palace.

It's just that her appetite has been raised by Sheng Jingyu these days, and at first glance she has eaten coarse tea and light rice, and she is still a little unaccustomed to it.

There is a good saying, it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, and almonds are like that.

After eating coarse tea and light rice for a few days, I can eat such a delicacy, although it is not as good as in the palace, but the almonds are also very satisfied.

She lowered her head and listened to what was going on outside the window, until there was a loud movement outside the window, and she put down her chopsticks in confusion and looked at the source of the sound.

I saw that the young man in the corner just now was no longer there, but was dragged down the street by five or six beggars.

The young man grabbed the steamed bun in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and the few people who were so hungry and red-eyed that they were so anxious that they beat and kicked him.

The boy curled up on the ground with a muffled grunt, curling himself into a ball to protect the food in his mouth.

Almond couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up directly with a hot head.

"How can they do this! It's too much! ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Sheng Jingyu who was sitting next to him, and rushed out directly.

Just now she heard Sheng Jingyu say that this place is poor, and food and clothing are problems, and she doesn't care about it.

But now, she understands that there are not only poor people here, but also extremely vicious people!

People are not afraid of poverty, and they can create with their own hands.

What I'm afraid of is that I have lost my moral bottom line and become a walking corpse! That can't be called human at all!
