Chapter 434: Uninvited Guest
Knowing that Nan Fengling was ill, he put aside all his affairs and devoted himself to taking care of her.
"Xiao Ying, is Qiao Shuyu still angry?" Nanfeng Ling's body was wrapped in a heavy cloud quilt, and he was still shivering coldly.
Xiao Ying stopped his movements and said seriously, "You really did bad things with good intentions this time." ”
"I was wrong, I won't meddle in the future." Nanfeng Ling was like a child who had done something wrong, and lowered his head a little aggrieved.
"Don't worry, when he's angry, it'll be fine, and I'll talk to him in a while."
Nanfeng nodded vigorously.
After feeding Nan Fengling to drink the porridge and putting her to sleep, Xiao Ying left the room.
Today's weather is very good, and the blue sky is hung with the warm sun, which is warmly enveloped on Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying walked through the corridor, stepped on the fine snow in the courtyard, and stopped in front of Qiao Shuyu's wing.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door twice, "Qiao Shuyu, can I come in?" ”
There was no response in the room, Xiao Ying waited for a moment, and the door creaked open.
Qiao Shuyu stood behind the door.
His lips were chapped and he looked haggard, but his expression was cold and indifferent, "Come in." ”
Xiao Ying followed Qiao Shuyu and walked to the table and sat down.
Qiao Shuyu held the teapot and poured him a cup of hot tea.
The fragrance of tea is lingering and the fragrance is overflowing.
Qiao Shuyu held the bottom of the cup with his left hand, held the cup with his right hand, and respectfully handed the hot tea to Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying was stunned and reached out to take it.
"You want to be a lobbyist this time? Or do you want to apologize for someone? Qiao Shuyu broke the silence with a voice.
"If I said both, would you accept it?"
"Yes." Qiao Shuyu replied without thinking.
I thought that I would abandon the persuasion of tongues, but I didn't expect it to be solved in a few words.
Qiao Shuyu was not angry for a long time, he didn't look at Nan Fengling, because he felt that she was in a hurry, and she was not unaware of his anxiety.
Pei Feng's abnormality in these days, Xiao Qing saw it in his eyes.
During lunch, she finally asked Pei Feng.
The day of departure is approaching, and everyone has all kinds of things to arrange.
"Pei Feng, are you hiding something from me?"
Pei Feng paused his hand and smiled: "What can I hide from you, has I annoyed you these days?" ”
"You didn't bother me, I just wanted to be with you every day, but I always felt that you guys were weird these days."
Pei Feng sandwiched some vegetarian dishes into Xiao Qing's bowl and said, "Don't think about it, they just want to deal with things quickly and then go back to Yong'an." ”
"Really?"
"Inevitably, I also want to return to Yong'an soon."
Pei Feng's expression was the same, and he said it seriously, and Xiao Qing believed it.
On the day of departure, it was not dawn, and Xiao Qing was still asleep.
They left quietly, without saying goodbye, for fear that Xiao Qing would insist on following.
This time I went to Nanzhuang, I don't know what danger I will encounter.
They did this for the sake of Xiao Qing's life.
Shang Lu and Moon Shadow did not follow, because one of them wanted to lead the troops back to Yong'an, and the other wanted to escort Xiao Qing back to Yong'an.
Moon Shadow's order to escort Xiao Qing back to Yong'an was, of course, given by Nanfeng Ling.
The Jiuyuan border pass was very close to the country of Nanyue, and they rode their horses for five days before entering the country of South Vietnam.
According to the information provided by Qiao Shuyu about Qingyou Palace, they were going to a small town called Poyang in Nanzhuang.
After arriving at the small town of Poyang, walk ten miles northwest and you will see a loess desert.
Qingyou Palace stands in that loess desert.
Except for the wind season, the desert looks extremely quiet, without a trace of sand and dust, without a trace of greenery, and there is a different kind of beauty.
But this piece of loess desert, which looks like a different kind of beauty and is extremely safe, hides many unknown dangers.
Not only are poisonous snakes and poisonous scorpions everywhere, but you can also get lost if you are not careful.
Therefore, if ordinary people want to find the Qingyou Palace from this desert, they need the people in the Qingyou Palace to come out and help guide them in order to reach it safely.
Stop-and-go, they rushed to Poyang Town, which took almost a month.
Poyang Town is a simple town, with teahouses, taverns, workshops on both sides of the street, and many small vendors with large umbrellas in the open space on both sides.
The four of them led Ma Shun Street to the end of the street, and stopped outside the door of an inn called Fanjian.
"It's better to rest in this inn tonight, and by the way, inquire about the exact direction of Qingyou Palace." Xiao Ying suggested out loud.
The three of them did not say anything and agreed to Xiao Ying's proposal.
They stood outside the door for a while, and Xiao Er in Fanjian saw it and hurried out to greet them.
And they came out, and took the reins from their hands, and set up their horses for them.
The horses were settled, and they both entered the inn one after the other.
On the right side of the door is the counter, and the shopkeeper standing behind the counter saw the person coming, and his eyebrows and eyes quickly put on a smiling face.
The shopkeeper was a man, wearing a gray brocade robe, medium fabric, and about thirty years of age.
He has thin eyebrows and small eyes, a nose that is not big or small, and thin lips, and has a feeling of frequent grinding of the skin of his mouth.
Anyway, when Nan Fengling saw this man's appearance, he thought of the four words "no treacherous and no business".
Xiao Ying paced to the counter and said in a voice that was neither high nor low: "Shopkeeper, four first-class guest rooms." ”
He took the money bag out of his bosom, took out some pieces of silver, and placed them on the counter.
Seeing the silver, the man's eyes lit up, he took a pen to record, and almost accosted: "Look at the son is not like a local, he is doing business, is he passing by here?" ”
Xiao Ying said "um" and responded.
After the man finished recording, he put down the pen, lowered his head and took out four wooden cards under the counter, and handed them to Xiao Ying with both hands.
Xiao Ying stretched out his hand to take it, and took the opportunity to ask in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, do you know where the Qingyou Palace is?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the woman in white sitting behind him suddenly slowed down the action of pouring tea in her hand, and looked at Xiao Ying intentionally or unintentionally.
The woman in white covered her face with a veil, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but her eyes were good-looking.
The man understood the intention of the son in front of him, and no longer smiled.
He straightened his face and replied in a low voice: "Childe, you are the right person, but ......"
To the point, the man suddenly paused.
Xiao Ying willingly took out a piece of broken silver from his money bag and put it in front of his eyes.
The man took the silver and finally let go, "Out of the city gate, to the suburbs, there are two roads, go to the left, all the way forward, see the small road Mo turn, about ten miles away, Gongzi can go to the place you want to go, but let me explain first, it is a desert, Qingyou Palace is hidden in the desert, whether you can find it, it depends on your ability." ”
Xu took the benefit, and before Xiao Ying could reply, the man reminded him again, "But I want to remind you that this Qingyou Palace generally does not accept men, and Childe is only afraid that if the door is not found, he will get lost in the desert." ”
Xiao Ying smiled, said "thank you", turned around and distributed the wooden cards to the three people behind him, "Have a good rest today, and then go tomorrow." ”
Xiao Ying turned and walked forward.
He took two steps forward, and the woman in white, who had been sitting at the table next to him, suddenly stood up and bumped into him.
The lobby is not very large, and the distance between the square table and the counter can only accommodate one person.
When Xiao Ying was talking to the shopkeeper, Pei Feng found that the eyes of the woman in white always fell on him intentionally or unintentionally.
