Chapter 36: The Great Yan Kingdom
Early in the morning, Qiu Blade opened the utility room, put the hot food on the ground, and prepared to leave without saying a word.
Qiu Bai saw him turn around and wanted to leave, so he hurriedly stopped him, "Big brother! I...... I want to go to the toilet......" was in an embarrassed tone with a thick pleading.
There is no way, people have three urgencies.
Qiu Feng frowned impatiently, and when he was about to refuse with a bad word, he suddenly remembered what Li Zhi had explained.
“…… You wait. He spoke slowly, lifted his legs and walked away, and of course, the door was locked again.
When he came in again, he had an extra barrel in his hand.
He slammed the barrel on the ground, "Settle it here." After saying that, he turned around and left.
In the next few days, the Qiu family's siblings behaved very well-behaved, and had no intention of trying to escape, and Qiu Blade's vigilant heart relaxed a little.
Early that morning, when he opened the door to deliver food, he found that the house was empty!
He looked anxiously around the house, but found no one else, but found a large hole in the corner of the house.
The house was on the outermost side of the courtyard, and behind the wall was a quiet alley, and it was not long down the alley to Donglai Street.
His heart tightened, sweat broke out on his forehead, and Mu Ran stood for a moment before turning around and leaving the house.
"Lord ......" Qiu Blade stood in front of Ye Zhiheng with his head down, his heart was like numbness, he messed up the things that the prince had explained, and he could already predict what would happen to him later.
"People...... The man is gone......" he said, his head hanging to his chest.
Silence, long silence.
A cold sweat broke out in Qiu Blade's palms, and he knelt down with a soft knee, "The slave deserves death, I hope the prince can give him a chance to atone for his sins, and the slave will definitely find them back, they will not be able to run far!" ”
Ye Zhiheng picked up the blue and white porcelain cup, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "No need, you can go down."
Qiu Blade's heart was cold, and he wanted to ask for another favor but was afraid of completely annoying his master, so he could only slowly retreat.

"Sister, where are we going now?" Qiu Ling asked Qiu Bai with a helpless face.
Qiu Bai looked at the unfamiliar street blankly, and clenched Qiu Xiaobao's hand, "Find a place to live first." "Strange places, strange streets, and unfamiliar faces made her, who has always been strong, a little panicked.
The sisters and brothers looked around the street and chose an inn with relatively simple decoration.
"Shopkeeper, how much is the cheapest room for a night?" Qiu Bai crossed his feet and asked the elderly shopkeeper behind the counter.
The shopkeeper glanced at Qiubai, and then said slowly: "There is a chase shop in this store, and it only costs 20 yuan for one person a night."
Chase shop? It's just a bunch of people who don't know each other living together, and they just experienced the kidnapping incident, and Qiubai is really a little scared.
She thought for a moment and asked, "What about ...... Do you have private rooms? The cheapest. ”
"Yes, 400 silver a night, tea and food."
Four hundred texts! It's really a bit expensive.
Qiubai touched the small bag on his waist, licked his dry lips, nodded and said, "Then come to a small single room, is there hot water?"
"Yes."
"Is it free?"
"Hmm."
She is relieved that she doesn't need money for hot water, her sister and brother haven't taken a bath for a while, and their bodies are very itchy, since hot water doesn't cost money, then you must take a comfortable bath, otherwise how can you be worthy of the four hundred dollars.
Qiubai pinched the bath towel and rubbed it east and west on his body.
After taking a shower, she stood up, picked up the dirty clothes on the screen, and put them back on.
Bypassing the screen, Qiu Ling was sitting at the table with a deep frown.
Qiubai sat beside her, "You look at the two of them, I'll go out and buy food." ”
Qiu Ling nodded, "Be careful!" ”
"yes, I know."
Donglai Street.
Qiubai came to a steamed bun shop and bought a large bag of white-flour steamed buns.
It's a total of 10 cents.
While taking out the money, she asked the boss: "Uncle, do you know which direction Quankou Town is?"
The boss thought about it carefully when he heard this, and finally shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Oh......" Qiubai was a little disappointed, thought about it and asked, "What about Qingzhou?" Did You Know? ”
The boss still shook his head, "I haven't heard of it." ”
"Oh, thank you." Qiubai politely thanked him and turned to leave.
They were kidnapped and on the road for three days, and they were on the road for three days, and they definitely went far no matter how slow they were.
The owner of the steamed bun seller said that he didn't know Quankou Town, not even Qingzhou Province, so it proved that they must have been taken far away.
Qiubai stopped and walked back to the bun shop, "Boss, do you know where to sell maps?" ”
The boss still shook his head, "I really don't know about this, and I don't need that thing, so I don't know, but there is a bookstore opposite, do you want to go and see it." ”
"Oh, thank you."
The bookstore is not very big, there are not many people, and the owner of the bookstore is a white-bearded old man, who is shaking his head and carrying the surnames of hundreds of families.
Qiubai walked over and asked, "Grandpa, do you have maps to sell here?"
The white-bearded old man stopped shaking his head when he heard this, "Yes, there is a refined version and a regular version, which one do you want?" ”
"How much does the Refined Edition cost?"
"A tael of silver."
“…… And what about the regular version? ”
"Three hundred dollars."
Qiubai said without hesitation: "Just give me a regular version."
The white-bearded old man took out a pale yellow piece of paper from the lattice behind him.
"No."
Qiu Bai counted out three hundred coins and put them on the counter, took the map and glanced at it.
And she saw that there were many lines drawn on it, and there were many words on the sides of the lines, but she did not recognize any of them.
"Grandpa...... Can you help me find out where Qingzhou Province is, I don't know how to read......" she said with some embarrassment.
When the white-bearded old man heard this, he didn't even glance at the map, so he said, "There is no Qingzhou Province in Dayan Country, are you mistaken?"
Qiu Bai was really taken aback when he heard this, "Dayan Kingdom!?" ”
The white-bearded old man glanced at her with a foolish look, and said impatiently: "I'm a place to do business here, I don't have time to play with you, I want to go home and find your father!"
Qiubai walked out of the book house with a map and a bun in his arms.
Dayan Country! However, it took three days to arrive in Dayan Kingdom
Qiu Ling opened the door and saw that Qiu Bai's face was wrong, and she was shocked, "What's wrong?" Isn't it catching up! ”
Qiu Bai walked to the table and sat down, and said quietly for a long time: "Xiaoling, do you know Dayan Kingdom?"
"Huh?" Qiu Ling was asked by Qiu Bai's headless words, "I don't know." "She is a peasant girl, and she can't even recognize all the provinces of the Great Yuan Kingdom, how can she know about other countries.
"We're in Dayan now." Qiu Bai said calmly.
Qiu Ling blinked and didn't react, "Dayan Kingdom? ”
"Well, Dayan Kingdom."
