Chapter 141: Ink Shop! Black shop!
Since crossing the valley that day, Qin Hui and his party have traveled all the way in the next five days. Even if you eat and rest, most of them are spent on horseback.
"Tick, tick!" As the sky drizzled, a group of officers and soldiers on war horses. Around a black carriage, trampling on a muddy path.
As the rain became heavier and heavier, an officer and soldier in a cloak rode his horse to the front of the line and shouted; "My lord, our food and grass have run out, what should we do now?"
The leading general, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, replied; "How many more? Can you hold on for two days? ”
The soldier listened, wiped the rain that had flowed into his eyes, and replied; "Lord Qianhu, we have been galloping all the way, and we have not replenished supplies at all. Now we have nothing but some bread. And even the bread is not enough for today's share. ”
"Damn it!" The middle-aged general cursed, then turned his horse's head and looked at the soldiers galloping in the wind and rain behind him.
"Lord Qin, you go first, I'll ask Lord Fu what he means."
After saying this, Zuo Qianhu, after seeing Qin Hui nodding, walked towards the convoy behind.
With the general's movements, a cart drawn by four horses stopped beside him. After the carriage stopped, a beautiful woman in a tight green dress pushed open the curtain of the carriage.
The woman who showed her head looked at Zuo Qianhu, who was still soaked in a robe, and said; "Senho-sama, what's wrong!"
Zuo Qianhu raised his hand to block the wind and rain in his face, and said loudly; "We have run out of food. Miss Qingfeng, you talk to Master Fu, we need to find a place to replenish. But rest assured, we won't delay our trip to Beijing. ”
Fu Qingfeng looked at the soldiers who were speeding in the heavy rain and said with some reluctance; "Zuo Qianhu, why don't we wait for the rain to stop before leaving. With such a heavy rain, the soldiers' robes could not be stopped. ”
Zuo Qianhu looked at Qin Hui and them, who had already run to the front of the big one, and said while urging the coachman to hurry; "There are dark clouds above us, and we don't know when the rain will stop! The soldiers are very fast, and the soldiers under my command are all killed with me all the way in the field, and this bit of rain is nothing. Now we just need to find a place to resupply, and we'll be fine. ”
"Drive!" After Zuo Qianhu finished speaking, he didn't care about the reaction of the woman in Tsing Yi. He patted the horse that sat down and galloped towards the front.
Zuo Qianhu, who came to the front of the horse team, looked at the side, Qin Hui, who was on horseback with his eyes closed and recuperating, shouted behind him; "We'll rest for an hour while we're going to replenish the grain and grass in front. Now everyone cheer up and follow me on! ”
"Tread, trample." With Zuo Qianhu's loud shouts, the soldiers cheered up and galloped forward quickly.
Looking at the rain that kept sliding from Qin Hui's face, Zuo Qianhu opened his mouth while running; "Lord Qin, we are still two hours away from the nearest village, why don't you go back to the carriage and rest."
Qin Hui, who was originally closing her eyes and recuperating, opened her eyes and said after hearing Zuo Qianhu's words; "The car is full of old and weak women and children, I went, like something!"
Zuo Qianhu looked at Qin Hui, who closed his eyes again, and said; "Lord Qin, you are not a soldier, go to the carriage to rest for a while to avoid the wind and rain, who will gossip!"
While riding a horse, Qin Hui spread out her hands to meet the heavy rain that kept falling. Feeling the raindrops that kept falling on his face, Qin Hui smiled; "I am a warrior, and my heart is also the heart of a warrior. With my strength, this bit of wind and rain is nothing! ”
After saying this, Qin Hui pointed to the carriage and smiled at Zuo Qianhu; "You haven't slept in a few days, so I think you should go and rest for a while. I'm in charge here, and there's nothing wrong with it. And Master Fu's two daughters are good-looking, maybe you will be taken by them, and you can be a door-to-door son-in-law! ”
Zuo Qianhu looked at Qin Hui on the side, shook his head helplessly, and said; "Hehe, Lord Qin is really joking! It's all about this time, and you can still think of this mess! And as the commander-in-chief, how can I leave my own soldiers behind! ”
"Eighteen brides and eighty langs, pale hair should be red makeup! Haha, haha! Qin Hui laughed, and then rushed out first, leaving Zuo Qianhu with a stunned face.
In this way, just after Qin Hui and his party ran for more than half an hour, a cavalryman with a command flag on his back quickly rushed over.
"Two adults, I went to the Malay newspaper in front of me, and said that at the intersection not far from us, there is an inn called Modian, which is open."
"Inn!" When Zuo Qianhu heard this, he shouted in an echo; "Escort Master Fu's carriage in the middle, our whole army will speed up and go to the inn to rest and recuperate."
"Yes, my lord." With a pleasant answer, the speed of the carriage and horse's march was obviously increased by one percent.
In the inn not far from Qin Hui and his party, a fat cook with a boning knife in his hand was saying to the shopkeeper with a money hat beside him at this time; "The shopkeepers, it seems that they are all elite people of the imperial court! What do we do now, should we slip away before they do? ”
The shopkeeper who heard this looked at the shopkeeper and the fat cook who came around, and whispered; "Slip what! I don't know where they came from. But looking at this posture, it doesn't look like those officials who know about catching fugitives and receiving rewards all day long. I don't think these people will know us either, so we just need to keep our feet out of the way. ”
A brocade guard standing at the door looked at the few people behind the counter, constantly muttering, and said impatiently; "Shopkeeper, we have hundreds of people. If you don't go cook now, be careful when our adults arrive, so you can't eat and walk around. ”
"Don't worry, the little one will go, and the one will go." The shopkeeper said a few words of flattery, and then whispered to the cook; "You go and prepare the food, and I'll deal with them."
The shopkeeper carefully looked at the brocade guard at the door and said; "Boss, let's run! There are hundreds of them, and if they recognize us, we'll be dead! ”
The shopkeeper glared at Xiao Er when he heard the sound and scolded; "Fart, this is our place to beg for a living, if we leave here. These officers and soldiers will definitely suspect us, and when the time comes, we will really die! After saying this, the shopkeeper looked at the fat cook with an embarrassed face and said directly to him;" Don't talk nonsense, go get ready to eat. With me on top here, I can't go out on a business trip. ”
The fat cook listened to the boss's scolding, and said with some grievances; "Shopkeeper, this inn is a signboard, how can we have anything to eat!"
"You're useless!" The loader complained, then pointed and said; "Didn't there be two monks yesterday, after coming here to turn the fate, we turned it over! You go and pull them out, wash them, and make them into buns, isn't that enough! ”
"Gao, boss, you're really tall!" The cook said a few respectful words, and then held the boning knife in his hand. hooked shoulders with the shopkeeper and walked into the back kitchen with a smile.
"Woo, woo! Help, bang! ”
Listen to the crackling sound coming from the back kitchen. The brocade guard, who was guarding the door, asked the shopkeeper with a flattering face; "What are they doing behind the scenes? I seem to hear someone shouting for help! ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he said with a smile on his face; "Help! How could it be! You must have been hungry and misheard! ”
Listening to the shopkeeper's explanation, the brocade guard guarding the door rubbed his already hungry stomach and asked; "What are you going to eat behind you?"
The shopkeeper gestured a circle with his hand and said with a smile; "Buns, big and round meat buns, will definitely satisfy you!"
"Meat buns!" When the brocade guard heard this, he swallowed and spit, and his face really showed a satisfied expression.
"You're done, remember to give me a taste first!"
"Of course, of course!" The shopkeeper replied with a smile on his face.
