356 en route

Shen Yue said it lightly, and Ye Xinyi also reluctantly pulled out a smile and nodded. But in my heart, there is still no way to really relax.

Before they left Beijing, the crown prince had been imprisoned in the East Palace because of the assassin's affairs, although Emperor Qianhe had not yet issued the will to abolish the prince, but it was obvious that he had the heart of Yi Chu.

Otherwise, such a major event as disaster relief would not have fallen on the King of Sui, among them, no one in the Manchu Dynasty mentioned half a sentence about the prince, as if he had forgotten the existence of such a person, even the biological mother of the prince and the king of Sui, Empress Chen.

After all, as far as Empress Chen is concerned, she has three sons, and no matter which one inherits the throne, she is the queen mother.

But now, something happened to King Sui again.

It's too coincidental, if it weren't for someone plotting something in the dark, Ye Xinyi wouldn't believe it.

The first thing she thought of was the person who targeted Empress Chen and Concubine Xie Guifei earlier, perhaps, it happened to be the person who secretly colluded with the Nanyue Imperial Court and the Suo Luo Sect.

The capital looks at the rivers and mountains separated from Shu by half of the Daimyo, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, but if the situation in the capital is related to South Vietnam, once the wind and clouds rise, the Shu they want to go to, and the Xia family they want to meet, I am afraid that they will bear the brunt.

The world is in chaos, how can there be a place to live?

She still knows, let alone a person like Shen Yue who cares about the peace of the world and the well-being of the people? He just relieved her heart, and didn't want her to worry about it too.

After having breakfast in the front hall of the official post, they continued to hurry.

It has been a few days since they entered Shudi, and they are not far from Chengdu Mansion.

A group of more than a dozen riders galloped on the official road, stepping on bursts of dust and smoke.

Ye Xinyi has never been far away, although she can ride a horse and her riding skills are good, but at first, Shen Yue was worried that she would not be able to endure the hardships of hurrying, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.

In the first two days, seeing her red and swollen legs, Shen Yue felt so distressed, thanks to her kung fu, and it was not bad, but now she is more and more handy, it is those Jinyi guards who accompany them, and they are all impressed by Lord Shen's wife.

After galloping for almost twenty miles, it was past noon, and although it was the end of summer, the weather was still very hot, and it was all dust and stinking sweat. The pathfinder reported that there was a teahouse not far ahead, and Shen Yue ordered to rest in the teahouse for a while.

The teahouse was not large, and there were only three square tables, and their people sat at two tables next to each other, and at the other table sat a man and a woman, dressed in ordinary cloth clothes, sitting with their backs to them, and only when they came in, they quietly raised their eyes and glanced over, and after only one glance, they lowered their eyes again.

Although it was only a glimpse, Ye Xinyi and Shen Yue also saw the faces of those two people. The complexion is slightly dark, the facial features are deep, and it doesn't look like a Han person.

However, in the southwest area, there are already a lot of Yi people, and there was a saying of the southwest Yi in the past, so it is not uncommon to see Yi people here.

Ye Xinyi and Shen Yue glanced at each other, and after exchanging glances, they sat down as if nothing had happened.

The teahouse was opened by a father and daughter, and after they sat down, the father and daughter were trembling, and finally smiled before they came forward, "Guest officer, what do you want?" ”

Although they are all dressed in regular clothes, everyone has weapons on them, and those horses are also good horses with good foot strength, coupled with the momentum and coercion of this team of brocade guards that have been immersed for a long time and the evil aura that is still faint even if it is restrained, it makes others can't help but feel nervous.

It is almost instinctive for people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, not to mention the father and daughter, even the man and woman sitting at the table in the corner have already quietly looked at each other again, with scantience and vigilance in their eyes.

Shen Yue and Ye Xinyi didn't know at all, Shen Yue glanced at Ye Xinyi with a smile, and Ye Xinyi said with a smile, "Let's have a pot of tea at the table first!" I saw that there were cakes and beef in sauce, and counted the heads, and each of us served two large cakes, half a catty of beef. ”

These are all men who can eat, and they can't be deducted from eating.

When Ye Xinyi finished speaking, Shen Yue had already taken out a silver ingot of five taels and handed it to the old man in the tea house, and said in a cold tone, "Move faster, my brothers are hungry, and they have to hurry when they are full." ”

As soon as the old man heard about such a large amount of business, and then looked at the white silver, and saw that although Shen Yue was cold, he was still polite, and the female dependents he was carrying were even more sweet and smiling without saying a word.

After a while, the girl had already brought the teapot, she was about to pour the tea, but Ye Xinyi had already smiled and reached out to take it, and personally poured a bowl of tea for Shen Yue first, as for the other Jinyi guards who accompanied Shen Yue, but before she could do it, she was already busy taking the teapot, "How dare you bother Mrs. Sister-in-law to do it, let's just come by ourselves, just come by ourselves." ”

After walking all the way for more than half a month, if they still can't see how precious Lord Shen is to his wife, then they are blind. Who dares to work this Mrs. Shen to serve them, she is not afraid of being skinned.

Shen Yue didn't seem to notice it at all, picked up the tea bowl and put it to his lips, paused slightly, just for a moment, but he had already inspected the color and smell of the tea soup, and felt that it was okay, so he took a big sip, then looked at Ye Xinyi with a smile and said, "You are tired after a long day's journey, hurry up and take a sip of tea and rest." When he did this, it was only a matter of a moment, and he looked as usual, and if it were not for the fact that the people at this table were familiar with his actions, they would not have noticed it at all.

The tea in this tea house is brewed out of the last tea foam, the tea taste is not good, and there is an indescribable taste, Ye Xinyi was not used to drinking it at first, but along the way, he will drink it from time to time, and now he is a little used to it.

What's more, this tea house is also cooked, the weather is hot, this tea also has a faint salty taste, and you can also dissipate two points of heat after drinking it, so as not to sweat too much and collapse.

Everyone drank a bowl of tea, and finally felt relieved by two points.

This tea house is located next to the official road, surrounded by blooming hollyhocks, shaded by trees on the top, and cicadas and birds are singing everywhere, but it has two wild interests.

After a while, the father and daughter brought cakes and sauced beef, and each table contained an extra bowl of clear soup and vegetables and a small plate of pickles. Soup and pickles are delivered, no money. ”

Ye Xinyi nodded lightly, thanked the father and daughter with a smile, and then served a bowl of soup to Shen Yue, "I have long heard that people in Shu have to prepare a bowl of soup when they eat, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”
