Chapter 040: Shattered Leaf City

By the time the convoy arrived at Shattered Leaf City, it was already getting dark. Although there were steamed buns prepared by Ziyu to satisfy hunger, when it came to the meal, the stomach still began to cry for help.

Fortunately, the city lord of Broken Leaf City was very generous and prepared a sumptuous meal, but for those of us in the Central Plains, we were a little discouraged after seeing these foods.

Roasted lamb shank, roasted naan, and tea and milk are stirred together, and a rare little green vegetables are stirred into foam. Smelling the smell of qi, I suddenly lost my appetite at all.

"It seems that I should be right to leave Ziyu behind." I was secretly glad in my heart.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please don't be polite, this is the best roast mutton on our grassland, try it, it's very delicious."

Su Muli, the city lord of Shattered Leaf City, greeted him warmly, and also gave a demonstration in person. Tear off a lock of mutton with one hand, dip it in the foam on the side, and then put it in your mouth to chew.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, taste it, it's very fragrant."

Urhan, who was on the side, also suggested with a smile. Out of politeness, I tore a small lock of lamb that was a little smelly, dipped it in the foam, put it in my mouth and chewed it, but I didn't expect it to taste really good.

"Well, that's good." I hurriedly tore off a few more pieces of meat and tasted them for Du Ruo, Ziyu, Cuiyun and Yutang behind me, at first they still refused, but after eating them, they all thought it was delicious.

"I'll just say, there's no one who doesn't like to eat roast lamb shank, haha!"

I glanced at the other soldiers sitting on the side, including Gu Shoucheng, Li Da, Ye Liuyun, Sun Zhengcheng and others, who had already eaten happily.

It seems that for hungry people, this smell is not a problem at all.

"There is no fruit in the season now, but there is still fruit wine in storage." Su Muli waved his hand, and several crescent girls came up with silver wine jugs and poured wine for everyone seated.

"I won't drink anymore." I motioned to remove the wine utensils, but Su Muli on the side still persuaded enthusiastically: "Your Royal Highness Princess, just have a drink and taste it, this is sweet wine, it will not be intoxicating." ”

"Thank you, old city lord, I really can't smell the smell of wine, just drink it." I picked up the milk tea mixture on the side and gestured, "The Central Plains said that tea is used instead of wine, and today I will replace wine with milk, thank you for the warm hospitality of the old city lord and General Urhan." ”

When the old city lord saw me like this, he was no longer embarrassed, and cheerfully raised his wine glass and drank with me.

After this dinner, I also understood a truth: the difference in regional culture can easily cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.

It turned out that the people of the Crescent Country ate two meals a day, one in the late morning and one in the evening, so Urhan didn't mean to starve us at all, but didn't think about having lunch.

As for the carriage fight with Urhan during the day, it was not as complicated as I thought.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, Urhan has been a little reckless today, but in the Crescent Moon Country, if you don't give the best treatment to your distinguished guests, you will be looked down upon." Urhan was obviously a little drunk, raised his wine glass and asked me to plead guilty, and also explained with some grievances: "But it is true that we have not prepared the best treatment for you, the carriage did accidentally break down on the road, this is my sin, and I ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to forgive Urhan." ”

Ye Liuyun, who was on the side, saw Urhan coming over with wine, and hurriedly took the wine and stopped him.

"General Urhan's words are serious, Her Royal Highness the princess just doesn't want to delay the time to enter the city because of the change of car, it's all good intentions, come, drink!"

Ye Liuyun drank a glass of wine with Urhan, turned his head and raised his eyebrows at me, and then pulled him to his original position and sat down.

I feel a little guilty in my heart, it seems that the people of the Crescent Moon Country are still quite simple units, at least this is the case with Urhan and Su Muli. As for Moss and Zuo Duolong, looking at their naΓ―ve appearance eating on the side, they also think it is a little cute.

Suddenly, a rapid drum beat sounded, and a column of girls dressed in purple costumes stepped briskly to the open space in the center of the dinner party, and then began to dance.

I don't know if it was because of hunger, or because I accepted the taste of mutton, and this dinner, I ate a little hard. Although Du Ruo's maids and soldiers ate on the side more simply, the taste and quantity were definitely full of sincerity.

I roughly calculated in my heart that at this dinner, the soldiers of both sides would eat at least dozens of sheep together, which shows the generosity of Su Muli.

The place to stay, Su Muli is also very clean and tidy, it stands to reason that this day's fatigue should be rested earlier. But because I first arrived in a foreign town, it was still a little fresh, and I heard that there was no curfew in the crescent, and there were stalls operating at night, so I planned to go out for a stroll.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I think you're eating too much, so let's try to eliminate it."

Du Ruo, this girl became more and more presumptuous, and even began to make fun of me.

"If you want to travel, let Ye Huwei and Li Da follow!" Du Ruo suggested on the side: "Do you want to find another guide?" ”

"It's rare that you think about it thoroughly, the guide can find it, Ye Liuyun and they have drunk wine, and it is still rare to see the wind." I pointed to Cuiyun and Yutang, the two maids who were arranging the bedding on the side, "I think with Cuiyun and Yutang following, it should be about the same." ”

Du Ruo turned his head to look at it, and still a little uneasy to suggest: "Miss, I think we still need Ye Guard and Li Da." ”

As he spoke, the door was suddenly pushed open. "Your Royal Highness, what do you command?" Li Da stood at the door and bowed his hand to ask for instructions.

I looked at Du Ruo, and Du Ruo looked at me again, and laughed in one place.

"We're going to go outside for a walk, you talk to Gu Shoucheng, and by the way, let Ye Liuyun and Sun Zhengcheng follow."

As soon as I finished giving the order, Li Da immediately bowed and left the house.

"Miss, you haven't said anything about the guide?"

"Don't worry, this, Gu Shoucheng will definitely arrange it in place, you go and call Ziyu over, let's go to the night market in Broken Leaf City together."

Facts have proved that Gu Shouguo is very trustworthy, not only helped me find a guide, but also sent a few guards to accompany me through Su Muli and Urhan. I was going to go out and play easily, but I ended up patrolling the streets with a large army.

Although we changed into civilian clothes, because the clothes were still different from the crescent moon, and with so many guards around us, it attracted the constant attention of pedestrians on the street.

Anyway, the night market in Shattered Leaf City is really good, although the outdoor of the new moon is still a little cool, but it can't stop people's enthusiasm to come out and play.

"Is it the same here in winter?"

I asked curiously about the guide sent by Su Muli, a young man named Sedum.

"Well, as long as the weather is good, even in winter, people will come out." Sedum responded to me while introducing the stall, "A barbecue business like this will be patronized by people regardless of winter and summer, so it will be out of the stall all year round." ”

As he was talking, an old man selling barbecue greeted Sedum, who also waved in response.

"Uncle Wuda, how is business today?"

"Okay, there's only a small pot of mutton left, there are so many of you, do you want to try it?"

"Oh, next time, we're all full." Sedum waved his hand and led us on, "Don't listen to him, every time I ask him, he will say that there is only a small pot of mutton left, that is not that he sells fast, but that he has never prepared a small pot of mutton, the taste is very good, but the price is more expensive than others." ”

"If it's delicious, it doesn't matter if it's expensive." Du Ruo said with a smile on the side.

"The main thing is that he is a little outrageously expensive, basically twice as expensive as others."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel that it was indeed a bit expensive.

"It's so expensive, no wonder no one buys it." Du Ruo pouted on the side.

"Haha, this distinguished guest is wrong, he's going to sell it every day." Sedum said: "The city lord of Su Muli has given an order, but Uncle Wuda's roast mutton is as much as you want." ”

"It seems that the city lord is quite taking care of this Uncle Uda." I glanced back at Uncle Uda, who was selling barbecue, and still greeted others, "There is only one pot left, and if you don't buy it, you won't have a chance." ”

"Hehe, the city lord is kind, but to be honest, Uncle Wuda's roast mutton is really delicious." Sedum took us through the night market in Broken Leaf City, in addition to selling food, there are also scarves for sale.

The scarves of Broken Leaf City have strong regional characteristics, whether it is the pattern or the color structure, they are significantly different from the Central Plains.

When the girls saw these scarves, their eyes turned red.

"Let's see, this princess has a treat tonight, and I will give each of you one." My joyful promise drew cheers from several of the girls.

"Do I want one?" Ye Liuyun suddenly said on the side: "I heard that there is often wind and sand here, so I want to prepare a scarf." ”

"You're a big man, are you still afraid of this bit of wind and sand?" I laughed and said, "If you want, pay for it yourself." ”

Ye Liuyun raised his eyebrows, "If you buy it yourself, you can buy it yourself." ”

Several girls quickly chose scarves, but Ziyu did not choose.

"Why, there is no agreeable one."

Ziyu shook her head and said, "I want to choose a purple one, but there is no one here." ”

"The girl likes purple, I said it earlier." The owner of the scarf seller immediately took out a bamboo basket from behind him, rummaged through it, and took out a ball of purple scarves. "This color doesn't sell well, I'll put it away, since the girl likes it, just pick it, and I'll give you another one."

"Really?!" Ziyu said happily: "Ha, it seems that Zi's luck is really good." ”

Ziyu immediately began to flip through the selections, and I saw a cyan scarf, embroidered with small flowers, which looked very chic and eye-catching, and I was about to take it, when suddenly a hand pulled it out.

"Boss, I'll take this."

Ye Liuyun stuffed the scarf into his arms, then threw a piece of broken silver to the shopkeeper, smiled at me, and turned to leave.

"Ye Liuyun, you are a big man with a gauze scarf with flowers, you are not shy." I roared in my heart, but because of my identity, I still calmly chose a red scarf.

I have to say that the night market in Shattered Leaf City has a lively feeling of Kyoto's Shangyuan Festival, but the night market is not very long, and it will soon come to an end.

"Sedum, is there anything else to see about Broken Leaf Cheng?" I continued to ask curiously.

Sedum said proudly: "Of course there is, such as Jade Terrace and Bibo Lake, they are all good places to go, but it is inconvenient to play at night, but when the convoy walks tomorrow morning, it will pass by Jade Terrace." ”

"Emerald Terrace?" I wondered, "That's?" What the? A mountain? ”

Sedum shook his head, "It's a grassland, a verdant grassland, with white sheep on it, looking at it from a distance, like a piece of emerald jade, so it's called Jade Terrace." ”

"No wonder the mutton here is so delicious, there is such a good grassland." Ziyu said in surprise on the side.

I turned my head to look at Ziyu with two purple scarves, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is a cook, and he wants to eat when he sees the scenery." ”

"It's beautiful." Ziyu smiled, turned her head to Sun Zheng, who was chatting with Du Ruo on the side, and asked, "Master, I didn't use the wrong place, right?" ”

Sun Zhengzheng was chatting happily with Du Ruo, and he didn't pay attention to what Ziyu said at all.

"Ah, what did you say?"

"It's delicious!"

"Who?"

Ziyu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Du Ruo is also a beautiful and delicious woman, right?" ”

Sun Zheng smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's right." ”

Hearing Sun uphold this, a few of us couldn't help laughing, and Du Ruo on the side was so ashamed that he hurriedly hid behind me.

After visiting the night market, a few people returned to the inn where they stayed.

"Sedum, thank you for being our guide today, if he has the opportunity for us to break the leaves again, please give me our guide."

"It's an honor."

Sedum saluted us, then turned around and went back to the city lord Su Muli to pay his errand.

After bidding farewell to the guide Sedum, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, Li Da hesitated and worried about my safety, and prepared to be on duty at the door at night.

"No need, this is already the new moon, naturally there are soldiers of the new moon to defend it, if something really happens to me, then the new moon country will be really in trouble." I smiled and instructed Li Dadao: "You have worked hard in the past few days, go back and rest." ”

"But ......"

"It's okay, Cuiyun and Yutang are by my side, what's the accident, we don't live far away, it's in time."

Li Da was still a little uneasy, Ye Liuyun came over and persuaded him: "Don't worry, this is the Crescent Moon Realm, and it is the place chosen by the city lord, will there be Yasukuni people to assassinate the princess?" ”

Ye Liuyun's stinky mouth was obviously a kind persuasion, but when he said this, it made Li Da even more worried.

"That's right, it won't be easy to do if there is Yasukuni, Ye Huwei, let's protect the princess's safety in the corridor tonight!"

With that, Li Da pulled Ye Liuyun upstairs.

"Hey, Li Da, it's good that you're on the night shift by yourself, why do you pull me in?"

"I'm afraid I'll doze off on my own, and we can monitor each other."

"You can sleep when you're sleepy, I drank too much today, so I won't accompany you."

"That's not going to work......"

I watched the two men pulling and pulling upstairs, and couldn't help but laugh in the back: "Lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot, it's still unreliable." ”
