(XXXVIII) A Trek
It has been five days since the opening of the city, and at the gate of Yunhui City, Lian Qingwu led the horse that was obviously tired, followed the crowd, and slowly walked into the city.
This Yunhui City is a city that must be passed through from Yu to Bo Yan Country, as long as you pass Yunhui City, you can get to Bo Yan Country if you ride a horse for half a day at most.
Originally, Lian Qingwen planned to eat some dry food and get on the horse and hurry, but she looked at the horse behind her, but she had to give up this idea. Even if it is a good horse that can travel thousands of miles a day, it can't bear the day and night of the past five days, if you continue to hurry, I'm afraid that if you don't reach the country of Boyan, the horse won't be able to survive, and you really should have a good night's rest, otherwise, if you have an accident, what should my brother do?
"Little two, an upper room."
In front of an inn that looked fairly clean, Lian Qingwen stopped and said to the shopkeeper who greeted customers at the door.
"Okay, girl, please."
The little second saw that although the girl in front of him was dusty, her clothes and hair were a little messy, but her demeanor was obviously incomparable to ordinary people, so he said earnestly.
"Feed the horses well, and remember to use the best forage."
casually threw a piece of silver to the shopkeeper, and Lian Qingwen instructed.
"Well, don't worry, girl, this horse will be handed over to the little one."
Seeing that this girl was so generous, the shopkeeper was even more convinced that this must be a young lady from a big family who came out to play in the mountains and rivers, but when he looked around, it seemed that this girl came alone and did not have an attendant, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"What are you doing?" Lian Qingwen shook her eyes with her hand, "Prepare hot water and food, and send it to my room quickly." ”
"Yes, yes, hehe, the little one shook his head for a while, the girl is not strange." The little second smiled and shouted to the store: "Little knife, take this girl to the second room of Tianzi." ”
"Come on."
Liu Xiaodao was wiping the table in the lobby, and when he heard his brother's shout, he threw the towel on his shoulder, and hurried out and said to Lian Qingwan: "Girl, please." ”
"There's Brother Lao."
Follow this little girl called Xiaodao to a guest room on the second floor, and even Qingwan said.
"You're welcome, girl." Liu Xiaodao scratched his head, "Hot water and food will be delivered immediately, and I ask the girl to wait for a while." ”
"Huh? How do you know I need this? ”
Lian Qingwan looked at the young man in front of her with some surprise, when she was talking to another junior outside just now, this person was obviously not there.
"Hehe, the little girl is in the dust, I think I want to take a hot bath to relieve my fatigue, and then look at the girl's hurried appearance, I shouldn't have time to eat."
"Ha, you're pretty smart."
Lian Qingwen nodded and looked at the person in front of her with a little appreciation.
"What's your name?"
"The little one's surname is Liu, and it's called Liu Xiaodao, and the girl can call me Xiaodao." Liu Xiaodao bent over, "Does the girl have any other orders?" ”
"No, you can go."
"Yes."
Seeing Liu Xiaodao go out of the room and close the door, Lian Qingwan sat on the chair, and then felt a burst of soreness and tiredness spread throughout his body. But when she thought of her brother's body again, Lian Qingwen couldn't help but sigh heavily.
……
After taking a shower and eating, the fatigue of many days finally dissipated a lot. Lian Qingwen sat by the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky through the window, still worried in her heart, I don't know what happened to my brother's body.
"That's it, let's get some rest."
Thinking that she would continue to hurry tomorrow morning, Lian Qingwan closed the window and lay on the bed with her clothes closed. After all, this Yunhui City is far away from the capital, and the crowd in the city is mixed, although I heard that the prefect in the city is properly governed, but he is alone, so it is naturally better to be careful.
……
"Did the girl sleep well last night?"
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Lian Qingwan got up and planned to continue walking, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw Liu Xiaodao standing outside the door.
"Knives? Why are you here? ”
Looking at the smiling person in front of her, Lian Qingwen became vigilant.
"Don't be careful, it's my shopkeeper who saw the girl's horse in the backyard, and knew that the girl and Liu Tinglan's son must be very close, so I ordered the little one to wait here for the girl's orders at any time."
As if he knew what Lian Qingwan was thinking, Liu Xiaodao hurriedly explained.
"Your shopkeeper?"
Lian Qingwen was still a little skeptical.
"The girl doesn't know, this inn is also the Liu family, last night when the shopkeeper of my house saw the horse in the backyard, he knew that it was the beloved horse of Liu Tinglan Gongzi, and thought that Liu Gongzi came in person, but when I asked, I knew that the horse was actually the girl's." Liu Xiaodao smiled very sincerely, "The little one didn't know that the girl was a distinguished guest yesterday, and she was so lazy, please don't blame the girl." ”
"I see."
Lian Qingwan nodded, but said in her heart, this Liu Tinglan family's business is really all over the Yu country.
"It's the first time I've seen a smart and clever junior like you, how can I blame it. I'm still in a hurry, so I'm asking the knife to help me get some hot water and prepare some food and dry food. ”
"Okay, let's go, girl, wait a minute."
Liu Xiaodao answered, and walked downstairs diligently. And Lian Qingwan returned to the room, remembering that before she set off, she forgot to tell Liu Tinglan, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
……
"Is the girl leaving?"
After freshening up and having breakfast, Lian Qingwen just went downstairs when she saw an old man about fifty years old walking towards her.
"Yes, I don't know who you are?"
"The old man is the shopkeeper of this inn, Liu Jingnian, yesterday the second child was lazy, and please don't blame the girl."
Seeing Lian Qingwan's doubts, Liu Jingnian waved his hand and said.
"Shopkeeper Liu is serious." Lian Qingwan said: "They are very clever with knives, how can they be lazy." ”
"That's fine." Liu Jingnian stroked his beard, "The girl is going to Bo Yanguo?" ”
"Yes."
Lian Qingwen nodded.
"That old man has something to tell the girl, now that the emperor is suddenly seriously ill in Bo Yanguo, the court is in chaos, and there are often turmoil in many places, and the girl is alone, so she must be careful."
Looking at the very handsome girl in front of him, Liu Jingnian said earnestly.
"Thank you for the reminder."
Lian Qingwen hugged her fists, very grateful in her heart.
"The old man wishes the girl a smooth journey. Knife, take the girl's horse out. ”
"Yes."
Hearing the shopkeeper's order, Liu Xiaodao hurriedly ran to the backyard to lead the horse, and respectfully waited for Lian Qingwu to come out at the door.
"Shopkeeper Liu, knife, there will be a period later."
Lian Qingwen turned over and sat on the horse's back, hugged her fists to the two people at the door, and then clamped the horse's belly and gradually disappeared into the morning light.
