"I've been looking for you for a long time, so you're here."

Qu Mingli stopped the spear he was practicing, and looked back to see Ban Fei who was looking for him.

"Hurry up and sort out the baggage, we are going to travel with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the general."

Qu Mingli asked him suspiciously: "Traveling?" ”

Ban Fei explained for him: "The prince originally had to go out of the palace once a year to parade, in order to observe the people's feelings, and the general has always been by the prince's side. This year you came, and you went with you. ”

"Then you don't have to worry about the affairs of the DPRK and China?"

Ban Fei smiled: "There has been no major incident in the DPRK and China recently, and the southern insect plague has also been handed over to other generals, so I think it will be idle for a while." If there is really something, you can also report it again. Don't worry. ”

Qu Mingli nodded, and asked him again: "In addition to the prince and the general, are there any other people?" ”

"Oh, by the way, Miss Wei is going too. She had nothing to do in Beijing, and when she heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was out playing, she asked him to take it with her. It just so happened that Miss Wei hadn't played before, just together. ”

Qu Mingli was even happier when he heard that Wei Qin was also going with him, and he couldn't wait to go back to the room to pack his bags.

He has never been anywhere else, and he is happy to have acquaintances to accompany him when he goes out.

It is the middle of summer, the heat is getting stronger, and it is the best choice to go west, with many hydrological and mountains, which is an excellent place to escape the heat.

Wei Qin heard about Qu Mingli's old affairs in Jianzhou, and he had an impression of him. On this trip, I flew with him and Ban in a car. Among the three people, only Ban Fei walked more outside, so he often explained the one or two scenery of the way to the two, and he was happy to see the novelty of the two.

Shi Shu and Ning Zeqing were in the car, and they were both people who had seen the great rivers and mountains, so they sat in the car, just discussing some books, games, chess, and the like. In order to prevent the affairs of the court and the central government from being too closed, he left the guards Zhiyou and Guan Jie in the house to take care of them, and if there was a court, they wore a flying letter.

The five of them are all incognito, don't worry about identities being recognized, and besides, Ah Li, Ban Fei, Wei Qin and others are all military generals, although Ning Zeqing has a weak physique, he still has moves in his hands, and Shi Shu doesn't have to worry too much. Moreover, the people who accompanied him were all trusted by Shi Shu, so they were even closer.

The two carriages left the magnificent national capital, crossed the uninhabited forest road, stepped through the lonely land of barren smoke, wandered away from the hustle and bustle of the market, enjoyed the insects in the wilderness, tasted the food along the way, tasted the homemade food, slept in the clean inn, slept in the cool of the stars and moon, and so on, and finally had a place to stay.

The carriage stopped at the fork in the road, a slightly lower hill in front of it, divided the road into a wide official road and a secluded forest path, if you go to the official road, it is the place marked on the map, if you take the path, it is a wild place that you don't know much about, I think it is because there are few people passing, and there are not too many signs on the map.

Shi Shu stepped out of the carriage and said with a smile: "It has been many years to say nothing in the country, but it is the first time I have encountered a place that is not marked in the national map." If you go forward, you don't know what kind of scenery it is, if you encounter a barren mountain, I'm afraid you have to come back the same way, but if you follow the map to the main road, you can't help but lose some sense of mystery. Zeqing, in your opinion, where should you go? ”

Ning Zeqing shook his head: "Everything depends on the will of Master Shu." ”

Shi Shu can't walk with his real name, so he assumes the name Shu Shi, which has always been like this, and Ning Zeqing also knows the rules.

Shi Shu smiled: "I have the final say on everything, what's the point." As I said, since everyone comes out to play together, they come up with ideas together, don't be locked. ”

When Wei Qin saw him say this, he said what he thought: "I think it's better to go to the path, it's just a casual play, so why do you have to follow the route." I see that there are people passing by on this path, and it should not be a barren place. If there is no way, it will not be too late to return. ”

Shi Shu was also happy when he saw Wei Qin say what he thought, and asked again, "Brother Qu, what do you think?" ”

Qu Mingli didn't want to be asked suddenly, so he replied a little flustered: "I also think it's better to have a small road." ”

Shi Shu said with a smile: "Since this is the case, let's take the path." ”

So all the people walked in unison to the path.

Although the road is small and a little bumpy, there are uneven trees on both sides of the road, and there are occasional rows of wild vegetables, which does not lose the interest of the countryside.

After walking like this for an hour, seeing that the grass in front of them was full of green furrows, and there were many vegetable fields, ponds, and shallow streams, and it was difficult for the carriages and horses to travel, and they could not bear to let the carriages and horses spoil the rural scenery and the peasants' efforts, so the five of them got out of the carriage and returned the coachman.

After walking for a short time, there are small ridges of vegetables in the fields in front of you, it is summer, the climate is hot, but there is a lot of water and trees here, and it does not seem that the weather is dry and hot.

There were still people working in the fields, and they were not surprised to see the group of people who suddenly came, but just nodded and said hello, and everyone walked forward, and they also saw that the various houses scattered on the roadside were similar in pattern and different layouts.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid you're not looking for a place to stay today?"

An aunt suddenly came out of the roadside, dressed in red and green, born strong, smiling, and grabbed Shi Shu who was walking in front.

Shi Shu saw her dressed as a mountain and wild village woman, and when she came up, she used her hands and feet to arrest people, but she was not annoyed, but just smoothed her hand away and said to her: "Auntie, we are new here, we don't know anything, but you want to guide us?" ”

The aunt naturally agreed, and the group followed her into the village.

Along the way, the aunt told them that this is Bi'an Village, although it is located in a remote area, the scenery is very good, and outsiders often come to have fun, and people who come have to stay for a few more days, so that the people in the village are used to catching tourists, so they are not surprised to see the arrival of the living.

Everyone listened to the aunt say this, seeing that the surrounding mountains and rivers are indeed beautiful, and the villagers are not afraid of outsiders, they think that it is indeed a tourist attraction, and they happened to find a good place.

Everyone followed the aunt and walked to a courtyard, where some chickens and ducks were chattering and rattling, and a half-old man was scattering rice grains on the ground, and when he saw someone coming, he went into the house.

"That's my bad old man, I can't see anyone, let him go into the house."

The aunt led everyone into the main house, gave them the large, clean bedrooms, and took some packages and lived in the side room.

Shi Shu saw that they were so polite and skillful, and knew that they were used to this, and it was useless to persuade them, so he let her go.
