Chapter 33: Bailihe's Thoughts
The shopkeeper was about to saliva with the gold ingot, and Bai Lihe asked him if he knew, and he quickly nodded his head.
Wu Qingqiu, who was lying on the table, wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, "I'll go!" Crazy, crazy, you didn't let me drink, I should have complimented you on your good looks. ”
took Qin Mengyu's hand and went upstairs, watched her return to the room, and asked Baili Fourteen to go outside and buy all the small things.
"It's not that I won't let you go, it's too dangerous outside, we are not familiar with this side of the Western Regions, this king is afraid that you will be injured, you have to be good, what do you want to eat and play, just let Qing Ning tell Fourteen."
Qing Mengyu, who was killed by touching his head, nodded, it was really warm, but unfortunately the big hand on the top of his head was quickly withdrawn.
After a while, Fourteen really brought a lot of things with her, probably because the host was a twelve-year-old child, so she really had the idea of playing.
"County Lord, look at this mud doll." Qing Ling was overjoyed when he took it out.
"You like you to take it, anyway, there are too many."
"The prince is really the best person for the county lord."
The two girls were having fun in the room, and Bai Lihe nodded after listening to the fourteenth report, "You go out first, I'm calling you for something, and arrange more people to protect the county lord secretly, so there must be no mistakes." ”
After Fourteen retreated, he drank a cup of tea and looked out the window It was getting late, he rubbed his eyebrows, this matter has to be done slowly step by step, he can't be in a hurry, how to deal with the king of the Western Regions, he hasn't thought about it yet.
After a whistle, a carrier pigeon heard the sound and landed on the side of the bed and tilted its head to look at him.
He took out a note on which was a task addressed to his henchmen, and he placed it on the pigeon's feet.
The content of the letter is very concise, that is, let the henchmen quickly investigate the matter of the king of the Western Regions.
"Bring it to him, and don't let anyone else find out."
The pigeon flapped its wings as if he understood what he was saying, and as he agreed, he touched it and then looked around and quickly threw the pigeon out.
The carrier pigeon flew away in the night, his eyes wandering, hoping to convey his meaning quickly.
This time it was not just a simple investigation of the king of the Western Regions, but when he knew that the emperor was afraid of him, he also had a plan for himself.
He must be careful in every step he takes now, Qin Mengyu is a key existence, he has to protect her, she is a crucial link in his plan, there can be no sloppiness or any mistakes.
"It's hard to dream of Yu, we will be in the Western Regions soon, so we don't have to be in such a hurry." Bai Lihe looked at Qin Mengyu, who was getting thinner and thinner, and felt a little distressed.
The delicate princess has ever been treated like this, and it is really difficult for her to eat and sleep with her.
It's just that Bai Lihe was very surprised along the way, he thought that Qin Mengyu would complain bitterly, and even lose his temper and delay the trip, but Qin Mengyu didn't complain from beginning to end.
Since coming back this time, he really felt that this adopted daughter had changed a lot, and Bai Lihe looked at Qin Mengyu with interest What else did he not know.
"Adoptive father, let's continue, we can go back as soon as possible after we rush to the Western Regions." Qin Mengyu pursed her thirsty lips and said, it's not that she doesn't have feelings for the boat along the way, it's just that she is too lazy to complain.
Qin Mengyu didn't have any good feelings about the desert in the Western Regions, from the joy of meeting at the beginning to the fact that there was no change in the scenery for half a day, so that the smoke and sand that filled the sky made her miss the scenery of the Central Plains very much.
"Alright then, we should be able to get to the Western Regions at three o'clock in the afternoon today." Bailihe looked at the map in his hand and said, in order to take care of Bailihe, they have slowed down as much as possible, but this is still a little unbearable for a delicate girl.
Finally at noon, a few people finally came to a city, Qin Mengyu looked at the bustling crowd on the street and instantly became happy.
"This should be the Western Regions!" Qin Mengyu was tired of the yellow sand that had been going on all along, and now that he had finally entered a human city, he was naturally ecstatic.
Looking at Qin Mengyu with a light in his eyes, Bai Lihe smiled dotingly, "Well, we have entered the area under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions, but there is still some distance from the Western Regions Palace." "They're just on the edge.
As soon as he entered the city, Qin Mengyu was attracted by the dazzling array of ornaments in the Western Regions, looking at this side for a while, and looking at that side for a while, he felt overwhelmed.
Looking at Qin Mengyu's appearance, Bai Lihe felt in his heart that Qin Mengyu felt a little like a girl of this age, and he was still full of curiosity about things he had never seen.
It's just that Qin Mengyu didn't know, what Bai Lihe thought was that this was the Western Regions, and these decorations seemed to be somewhat similar to the time and space before her.
"Are you interested here? Otherwise, I'll arrange for someone to accompany you around, and I'll go to the king of the Western Regions to ask for medicine." Bai Lihe arranged it considerately, he didn't plan to let Qin Mengyu do anything for him.
As soon as he heard that Bai Lihe was going to find the king of the Western Regions alone, Qin Mengyu was immediately dissatisfied, "No, I will also go with you, we don't have much time to waste, just go straight to the point." ”
Next, Qin Mengyu really didn't squint, and followed Bai Lihe seriously, and Bai Lihe looked at this and decided to go straight to the point.
After entering the Western Regions City, Bai Lihe no longer looked at the map, and began to communicate with the merchants around him, Qin Mengyu didn't understand a word, and was a little bored playing with his hair.
Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, Qin Mengyu pursed his lips, mastering a foreign language is amazing! She used to speak English too!
Of course, Bai Lihe also noticed Qin Mengyu's boring appearance, so he quickly sent away the merchants from the Western Regions around him, and turned around and came to Qin Mengyu's side.
"Your friend?" Qin Mengyu couldn't help but ask when he saw Bailihe come back.
"No, just ask for some news." Bailihe shook his head straightly, this kind of small businessman is still not qualified to be his friend.
Didn't friends talk for so long? Qin Mengyu instantly felt that Bailihe had a tendency to be self-cooked, but it didn't seem to be right, Bailihe was notoriously unapproachable. "And what did you ask?"
"He told me that the royal family in the Western Regions has been a little unquiet recently, and the animation has been very serious recently, the two princes are fighting for power, and the royal city has been banned, and it is unrealistic to want to see the king now." Bai Lihe's brows furrowed as he spoke.
That's not a coincidence! Qin Mengyu shrugged his shoulders, as if they had come at a bad time, and they didn't have time to pay attention to them when the courtyard was on fire now.
"Is the information reliable? How could he tell you all these things? Qin Mengyu still had a hint of fantasy, she didn't want to stay in this Western Regions for too long.
Bai Lihe listened to Qin Mengyu's words with some suspicion, and directly took out a silver ingot from his pocket and shook it, "Are we friends, but money can make ghosts grind, he may not know me, but he must know this." ”
Momentarily speechless, Qin Mengyu realized that Bai Lihe would still do such a thing, and use silver to inquire about the news from the gossip merchants.
But Qin Mengyu had to admit that this was undoubtedly the best channel they could do to get the news at the moment, otherwise if they didn't get it right, it would rise to their malicious infiltration, and it would be bad if they were used as spies.
"So what do we do now? Do you still go to the palace now? Qin Mengyu looked at Bai Lihe sideways, but he actually already had the answer in his heart.
They wanted to go directly to the king of the Western Regions to ask for that miracle medicine, but the Western Regions had recently been turbulent and in an internal struggle, and this matter seemed to have reached a dead end, but Bai Lihe was unwilling to run in vain.
It was very difficult to see the king at the moment, and he was very melancholy, and he could not just go home empty-handed for the sake of the future, so he could only wait for the situation to ease up a little.
"Let's go, let's go to the post station first, put down something, eat something, take a rest, and then I'll accompany you shopping, I have time to go shopping with you now." Bailihe smiled helplessly and said, for now I can only wait.
They can only find a place to stay in the Western Regions City now, and then wait for an opportunity.
With an automatic wallet to accompany her shopping, Qin Mengyu was instantly interested, and she was very interested in the exquisite glass jewelry that she hadn't finished reading just now.
Choosing a good post station nearby, Qin Mengyu finally took a bath satisfied, and instantly felt refreshed.
I found out when I went out. Bailihe ordered a table of food and was waiting for her.
"I'm just hungry, so I'm welcome." Qin Mengyu smiled and said directly.
Looking at the large and flowery Qin Mengyu, Bai Lihe smiled dotingly, she didn't seem to be like this before, it seemed that those royal etiquette had been lost by her and she didn't know where to go, but she had to deny that Bai Lihe preferred Qin Mengyu like this.
Maybe that's her nature! Bai Lihe couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but Qin Mengyu didn't see it at all.
The next days were quite boring, except for the first two days when Bai Lihe would take Qin Mengyu out to experience the exotic customs, the time they were more in the post station, for no other reason Qin Mengyu was not interested in the Western Regions at all.
As time passed, Bailihe became more and more anxious, they were anxious to ask for medicine, but there was no news that the situation had eased for so many days.
On this day, Bai Lihe, who was waiting for news in the post house every day, was drinking tea, but his heart didn't know where he had flown to.
There was a panic at this post, and a woman in tattered clothes rushed in from the outside, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were grabbed one by one, barely covering the sensitive parts.
Many people were watching the excitement, but no one dared to come over to help, Bailihe never liked to meddle in messy things, and naturally he was not in the mood to watch the excitement, but just continued to drink tea slowly.
As soon as the woman entered the door, she began to look around with a pair of beautiful eyes who might be able to help her, and instantly locked on Bailihe, who had an extraordinary temperament.
