When he got out of the car, Xia Yuhua couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but saw that Mo Yang was already holding the horse and standing aside, looking at him with a smile.

"Brother Mo, why are you here?" Xia Yuhua said and looked at the horse led by Mo Yang, there were many objects hanging on it, it didn't look like he was just here to see her off: "Didn't you say yesterday that you don't have to come to see each other off?" ”

Mo Yang patted the mane on the horse's back, and knew that Yuhua had seen these things hanging on the horse's back at a glance just now, so he replied directly: "I didn't come to see you off today, but after I went back last night, I suddenly received news that the business on the northwest border just needs someone to go over to take care of it, so wouldn't it be good to go along with you anyway?" ”

"So coincidentally?" As soon as Xia Yuhua heard it, she knew that Mo Yang was definitely not such a coincidence, thinking that all this had been arranged a long time ago, but she didn't tell her in advance.

At first, she didn't want Mo Yang to accompany her to Xishu, after all, it will take a long time, and Mo Yang has a lot of things in his hands, and besides, everything else has already been arranged, so there is no need to let him take the time to accompany her. But it turned out that he had planned to accompany her a long time ago, but he was afraid that she would not agree, so he simply came to cut it first and then play.

"Coincidentally, I just caught up anyway. In that case, then let me accompany you to Xishu, anyway, it's all over there, and there won't be any delay. Mo Yang said as he said to Xiangxue on the side: "Okay Xiangxue, hurry up and help your young lady get into the car, before noon, we have to rush to Sanlipo to have a place to stay." ”

Xiangxue listened on the sidelines, and her heart was already happy, and now that Miss was escorted by Mo Gongzi on this trip to Xishu, it was naturally too good to be better. Therefore, when she heard Mo Yang's words, she hurriedly stepped forward to help Xia Yuhua and said, "Miss, let's get in the car and set off!" ”

Xia Yuhua wanted to say something. However, Mo Yang smiled at her again, and then turned over directly and said, "I'll lead the way in front, just let Songzi call me if there's anything." ”

With that, he rode his horse first and began to set off slowly.

Looked at. Xia Yuhua had no choice but to say nothing, and instead gestured to Xiangxue, who was excited, and the master and servant got into the car together.

"Miss, sit down, we're leaving!" Songzi shouted outside, and then drove the horse forward quickly, chasing Mo Yang in front.

"Miss, look at the slave. My uncle must have deliberately gone with you. How could this be such a coincidence, obviously I just want to surprise you! Xiangxue said proudly, and even she didn't even realize that she had consciously replaced the title of Mo Gongzi as her aunt just now, and she called it so smoothly.

"Xiangxue, your young lady hasn't gotten married yet!" Xia Yuhua stretched out his hand and stroked Xiangxue's forehead, and said with a smile: "You are your uncle's from the beginning, so people should listen to jokes." ”

"Okay, well, Miss has taught you the right lesson. Xiangxue remembered, wait until you marry Mo Gongzi before changing your words. Xiangxue nodded with a smile, seeing that her young lady said so. But the mood is very good, and I am even more happy at the moment.

"Okay, let's rest for a while, there's still a long way to go." Seeing this, Xia Yuhua didn't say anything, thinking about Mo Yang, who was riding a horse in front of him and leading the way, and accompanying him all the way, he felt more at ease than anything else.

The journey was originally the most monotonous and boring, but because of Mo Yang's joining, everything seemed to become interesting. Although most of the time. They were all on their horses or cars, and they didn't talk much, but it was nice to know that you were right next to me.

After seven days of walking, the group had reached the north-western border, and they were on their way very fast, usually staying and resting at about dark. We set off early in the morning. It's not for fun, so there's no room for wasting a moment. Sometimes it's just in time to get into a small town or a farmhouse, but sometimes there are no people all the way, so you have to find a suitable place to sleep.

Songzi and Mo Yang seem to be very good at sleeping in the wild like this, so it is not difficult for them at all, and Xia Yuhua does not have a delicate posture, and seems to be extremely adaptable to everything. This surprised several people.

No matter what, the way down was smooth anyway, and when it was almost dark today, they finally rushed into the town on the border of the northwest border and Xishu.

It was getting late, so they decided to find an inn in the town for the night, and then leave the border for Xishu the next day.

Xia Yuhua knew that this time, the destination she was going to was not far from here, and when it was delivered tomorrow, it would be almost enough to embark on another day's journey, so she would no longer be in such a hurry. Of course, the most important thing is that at this time, the border has been closed, and ordinary business travelers can only wait until the next day when the switch is opened and closed before they can pass the customs with the customs clearance disc.

Since a few years ago, after my father led his troops to defeat Xishu, the war between the two countries ended temporarily, and slowly the two sides began to continue to communicate with each other, but because the border has not been very peaceful, especially since my father was demoted to a common people, the border between the two countries is becoming more and more unpeaceful, and there will be some friction from time to time.

However, the contest between countries still cannot stop the exchanges between the people of the two countries and the mutual trade of the economy after all, so although the scale of this border town is not large, but it is very prosperous, especially the inns are very numerous, and there are all kinds of levels, which obviously shows that it is because there are many people who come and go between the two countries.

The group stopped at the door of a neat-looking inn, where they had stopped tonight. Xia Yuhua got out of the carriage and habitually looked around first, and Mo Yang had already dismounted, and it didn't take long to see a guy in the inn running out quickly.

"How many guest officers, do you want to play the tip or stay in the hotel?"

"Both." Mo Yang said as he handed the horse rope to Xiao Er and said, "Feed the horses!" ”

"Okay!" The shopkeeper responded very happily, and then compared it in the direction of Shitou, and said loudly: "A few guest officers, please come inside!" ”

After pulling the horses and carriage to the backyard to take care of them, several people quickly entered the inn. After a day's journey, I ate some dry food at noon, so everyone was hungry for a long time.

As soon as they entered, the enthusiastic Xiao Er quickly took them to an empty table in the lobby, and there were not so many rules when going out, so Xia Yuhua had already let Xiangxue and Songzi eat at the same table without being formal.

After the four of them sat down, Mo Yang asked Xiao Er to prepare a few good side rooms, and then ordered some more meals to eat. It's a small place, but like anywhere else, as long as you have money, it's not a big problem to eat whatever you want. It's like what they're eating now, the ingredients are fresh and taste great, but the price is not cheap.

Seeing that they had eaten almost, Xiao Er immediately came over to serve tea, the tea was not too good, but it was already very good in this kind of place, Xia Yuhua took a sip, not to mention going out, even if he was usually at home, he was never too picky about these things.

"I didn't expect this border place to have such a look, I really don't know what it will become like this place once there is a war!" After eating and drinking, Xiangxue couldn't help but muttered with emotion.

"When there is a war, the people here still have to live, it's just that the business is a little worse." Although it is difficult for Matsuko to speak, but this voice is to the point.

Xiangxue couldn't help laughing when she saw that Songzi took the initiative to speak, and was about to speak again, but when she heard Xiao Er on the side, she immediately responded: "This guest officer is right, when General Xia led his troops to fight with Xishu a few years ago, how tense the war was, but we are still doing business here." Now that General Xia is no longer here, although this heart is not as secure as before, but business still has to be done. ”

Hearing this little er's words, Xia Yuhua couldn't help asking: "Now that there has been no war on this side of the border for a few years, it stands to reason that it should be more secure than when there was a war, how can you say that this heart is not as secure as before?" ”

The others couldn't help but look at the shopkeeper, obviously a little curious about this issue, and didn't know what it had to do with General Xia.

Seeing this, Xiao Er first looked around, and when he saw that there were no others, he lowered his voice a little and said to Xia Yuhua and the others: "A few guest officers are not locals at first glance, so they don't know much about our situation here. We haven't fought any formal battles here in the past few years, but the Xishu side will stir up some incidents from time to time, two months ago, there were soldiers who crossed the border to the town to rob once, and small shops like ours were all washed, let alone other places. ”

"And this kind of thing? Isn't there such an army stationed in the northwest? Doesn't anyone care? Xia Yuhua was even more surprised, although his father is not here now, aren't they still here Uncle Dongfang?

When Xiao Er heard this, he hurriedly explained: "You don't know, that Xishu is not officially attacked, but from time to time a small group of people sneak over to make a riot, these people are extremely fast, and they never confront the defenders head-on, and they run away after doing it, and they can't wait for the army to come at all!" ”

"I see! This is not surprising, after all, it is impossible for the defenders to camp their troops here every day, but it is also possible that those Xishu people can sneak attack and rob successfully. Mo Yang turned and said, "According to what you mean, didn't there ever be such a thing when General Xia was here before?" ”
