Nalan He walked on the road for more than half a month.

The weather is hot, they mostly walk at night, and during the day, they mostly rest and enjoy the cool by the post station, gazebo, stream and river.

It has been more than a month since he handed the letter to the Emperor of Wei and replied to the road, and the weather that was not very hot has become very hot and scorching.

There are many varieties of flowers blooming in this season, and the flowers he brought to pay tribute are still well maintained, which is somewhat comforting.

"Prince, we will arrive at the capital Shaoliang in three days." A guard hurriedly walked to Nalan Qihe, who was holding water by the stream to wipe his face to cool off, and whispered respectfully.

"Hmm" Nalan He replied in a low voice, turned his head to look at the convoy over there, there were some Wei people who were staring at them firmly, according to the Wei side, because Nalan He had arrived in the territory of Wei, so Wei had the responsibility to protect his safety.

Nalan and He are in the Wei Kingdom, and there will be special personnel to protect them throughout the whole process, so every time they pass through a post station, they will change a group of people until they are transferred to Kyoto Shaoliang. When they arrived in Shaoliang, Ning Ze, the king of Guanghan, specially arranged all the daily affairs of Nalan and He in Shaoliang City.

On the surface, it is protection, but in fact, Nalan and He know in their hearts that this is surveillance in disguise, and they are worried that he will have any special actions in the territory of Wei and have to guard against it.

Regarding Wei's jealousy of him, Nalan Hehe's heart was more or less proud, and he was the one who played a key role in the battle with Wei.

"Has anything happened in Shaoliang City recently? Have you made contact with the princess? Nalan and He spoke the language of his native country, and the attendants returned in the same way.

Because the letter is inconvenient to take out, it can only be said verbally that Nalan and Rong did receive the news from Nalan and He to Shaoliang, but it was known from the mouth of that Fang Jie, and it can be speculated that in Shaoliang, the princess's news channel is very closed, and we can't inquire or even inform us of any news.

Nalan He's eyes inadvertently revealed a trace of pain, the most freedom-loving and unrestrained sister was actually imprisoned in the General's Mansion, how could he accept it, Rong'er must miss him very much, miss the Dian Kingdom!

When the time is right, he will definitely bring Rong'er back like that.

"How's she doing?"

The guard showed a look of indescribability, shook his head and said, "What the princess said is not bad, but the maid doesn't seem to think so." ”

"Well, got it, you go." After talking to the guards, Nalan Qihe turned his head and looked at his face reflected in the stream, which was full of cruel expressions.

With a stroke of his hand, his face blurred, Nalan and He adjusted his mood, and his face returned to a calm and waveless state.

The people of Wei really saw it, it must be Nalan Hehe who heard some news.

The prince instructed that whoever Nalan He talked to on the road, or what he did, should be recorded with a pen, and not a word could be missed. They did not dare to disobey the prince.

What's more, this person's identity is very special, and they must ensure that nothing goes wrong, and if something happens, then they can't cut off 10,000 heads.

The guard next to him stabbed the guard next to him, and the eyes that handed it over seemed to say, "Did you remember it?" The other person nodded slightly, very sure that he had written it down.

When the other person is snooping on you, you are also snooping on the other person.

These guards have no experience in marking people, and everything they do is very obvious, where will they be the opponents of the scheming Nalan Jihe? If Nalan Jihe wanted to do something, he would have done it secretly a long time ago, so he wouldn't have waited until now.

"Let's go!"

Seeing them muttering for a long time, Nalan Qihe watched for a while and then came over and told the team that they could go.

Seeing Nalan He coming over, the people of Wei immediately stopped talking, and when they heard Nalan He say that he was leaving, he also packed his luggage.

It's really hot this day, if you can have ice to eat, it won't be so difficult, it's a chore!

Some people are flushed with heat and complain, and some people faint with horses and suffer from heat stroke, and the cooling oil is not useful.

Although it is cool to walk at night, there are a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and mosquitoes suck their blood at will.

The spies who were exploring the way in front came with the news that they had also seen Peijun, and beyond Peijun was Shaoliang City, less than three days away.

This made the big guys cheer up, so that they would not be so miserable.

And Nalan Hehe didn't have any dissatisfaction with the hot weather throughout the whole process, but he just guessed what the capital of Wei looked like, and whether it was really as recorded in the history books of the Dian Kingdom.

The capital of Wei is Shaoliang, covering a wide area. , a large population, a prosperous market, flowing gold everywhere, very rich, the palace covers an area of more than 10,000 acres......

Nalan Jihe was very disdainful when he first read this record, but he vaguely remembered some words, and he didn't remember the others, and now he still regrets it.

There are people outside the people, there are countries abroad, this time it can be regarded as broadening his horizons, no longer so short-sighted, although he feels that his own country is strong, but other countries are not worse than Yunnan.

The reason why Nalan and He would choose to fight with Wei was simply because he felt that Wei was remedied and his foundation was unstable. Now looking at the waste waiting to be rebuilt, the appearance of vitality everywhere is also a change from the previous idea.

In general, now it's only time to come to Shaoliang City to experience it for himself.

On the one hand, the news reached Nalan Hehe, and on the other hand, it also reached Ning Ze.

There are still three days before Nalan and He arrive, so Ning Ze has to give him a hotel to stay.

Because Qi Shu gave Ning Ze cherries, Ning Ze thought that Qi Shu forgave him and didn't care about him. So I came to the door a few times happily, but I didn't want to, I was very reluctant to eat behind closed doors.

But there is no way, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

Seeing that Nalan and He were about to arrive, Ning Ze made an extremely solemn appointment with Qi Shu on the grounds of the prince of Yunnan.

Of course, not at noon, but in the evening, when the weather cooled down a little, so that the hot people were not restless.

Qi Shu went out with the two maids, and he didn't understand why he wanted to make an appointment at the Duchun Tavern, although Xizi Street was a more prosperous street in Shaoliang City, but he didn't want to go every time, not to mention, Zhao Huanting, the owner of the Dusk Spring Tavern, had already left.

The old man has to say that there is still some nostalgia.

Walking on the bustling streets, the lanterns hanging in the shops dazzle people's eyes, and the river in the middle is dark, reflecting the street scenes on both sides and the stars in the sky.

The atmosphere is very harmonious, and the slight night breeze also brings a little coolness, which makes people feel very soothing and relaxed, and the night street has its own charm.

Ning Ze didn't rush to get down to business, but took Qi Shu to a small shed built by a middle-aged woman. The shed just covered the stove, and there were two somewhat broken tables and stools.

A small flag was raised, and three words were written on it with an ink pen: mung bean soup

Mung beans are good at relieving the heat, but doesn't it mean to get down to business? Why did you come over to take her to eat mung bean soup again?

Qi Shu's puzzled look Ning Ze of course received it, but Ning Ze pushed the mung bean soup in front of her unhurriedly and motioned her to taste it quickly.

The coarse porcelain bowl, the mouth of the bowl is not deep, the portion is not much, the soup is also pale green and a little turbid, and the aunt who looks at the soup has a simple face, and her body is also quite neat.

Without much hesitation, Qi Shu picked up the bowl and drank it.

The soup has been cooled. Well? There seems to be more than just mung beans in it, there seem to be soft and small balls? What is it?

Halfway through the drink, Qi Shu lowered his head and saw that some small white balls were sinking at the bottom of the bowl, which were small Lantern Festival. couldn't help but be a little surprised, and when he raised his eyes to look at Ning Ze, he found that he didn't know when he wasn't sitting opposite.

Where did it go?

was looking up, but found that Ning Ze was holding two bowls in his hands, trotting over, the expression on his face was irrepressible excitement, and he was completely no longer serious and arrogant.

"Hurry up and try it, this is red bean wine, this is red bean Lantern Festival." Ning Ze looked at Qi Shu with burning eyes, which made Qi Shu a little unbearable and wanted to dodge, it was too dazzling.

"Hmm." Qi Shu replied in a low voice, then put down the bowl of mung bean soup that had not yet been drunk, and then reached out to take the left hand side of the two bowls that Ning Ze brought over.

And Ning Ze subconsciously reached out and took the bowl that Qi Shu had just drunk, but didn't finish drinking, and sent it directly to his mouth, and raised his head slightly to drink it.

Qi Shuxiao's face flushed, a little embarrassed, she just wanted to stop it, it was what she had just drunk, how could Ning Ze take it?

Aunt Mung Bean Soup, who witnessed all this, couldn't help but blurt out: "Yo, this little couple is so sweet, how good." We don't feel sorry for people in our family......" The aunt was probably jealous, and crackled and said a bunch of bad things about her man.

Later, Ning Ze and Qi Shu knew that on the opposite side of the aunt's stall, why did the uncle who bought the cakes look here intentionally or unintentionally, probably because he stretched out his ears to hear what his mother-in-law said excitedly, and the concern in his eyes was very obvious.

"This is delicious, the best!" After thinking about it, Qi Shu pointed to the red bean wine brewed by Ning Ze and said with a smile, "Mung bean soup is also delicious, mung beans and red beans are different beans, there is no comparison!" ”

didn't want to disappoint this enthusiastic aunt, so Qi Shu added again.

"Well, okay, bring this place next time!" Ning Ze said solemnly.

Qi Shu glanced at him, lowered his head and stopped talking. This person has always been so bold that he doesn't speak in the air, just ignore it.

"Let's go, let's get down to business!"

Qi Shu and Ning Ze stood up at the same time and walked outside, Ning Ze seemed to be a frequent visitor to this mung bean stall, and he didn't say anything and just put down the copper plate and left. Qi Shu also consciously didn't ask much.

After a while, the two of them still came to the place they had planned during the day, the Twilight Tavern.

Just when Qi Shu and Ning Ze were about to go upstairs to talk about things, they accidentally ran into someone.

Ji Ci old prince.

He's here for tea, and he doesn't usually have a chance to meet him. The old prince was sitting on the edge of the door of the Duchun Tavern, so obvious, his sharp eyes were staring at the two of them after Qi Shu and Ning Ze came in.

Such eyes, Qi Shu and Ning Ze naturally did not ignore them, and intuitively looked at the person who came, and after finding out that it was the old prince Ji Ci, they were also shocked, and they didn't dare to come out.

The old prince's aura has always been very powerful.

How can it be so coincidental? Qi Shu's heart was surprised.

How by coincidence! Ning Ze's heart was speechless.

What a coincidence. These are the two words that the old prince Ji Ci held back after snorting coldly.

Qi Shu and Ning Ze glanced at each other, knowing that the old prince had misunderstood, Ning Ze hurriedly said: "Old prince, Xiao Bei came here today to do business, please don't misunderstand." ”

"There's no misunderstanding, it's just that in the middle of the night, what can a lonely man and a widow talk about?" Ji Ci asked unhurriedly.

"Old prince, you are not above the court, but you haven't heard of it? The prince of the Dian Kingdom will come to Shaoliang in a few days, isn't this an arrangement? Qi Shu is very familiar with the owner of this twilight tavern, this place can't be too deserted, can't be too lively, can't be too simple, can't be too luxurious, right? Ning Ze said in one breath.

Ji Ci glanced at him: "There is a mansion that doesn't live here?" ”

"Ning Ze knows, he must be living in the mansion! But when the time comes, if Nalan He says that he is going to walk around in our Shaoliang City, won't he have to step on it in advance? Ning Ze replied skillfully.

"Stinky boy, I know I can't talk about you! Hum! Ji Ci glared at him dissatisfied, and then added: "Take me and talk together, I also want to know what you are talking about!" ”

Ning Ze originally thought that he had escaped, but he didn't expect Ji Ci to still refuse to let him go and want to get involved.

A good chance to be alone! That's it!
