Chapter 18: To Nanzhao

"Thank you, subordinates!" Seeing that Baili Lan breathed a sigh of relief, the captain was busy breathing a sigh of relief, how dare he let these people wait in line at the moment, and hurriedly asked people to drive a carriage and escort them through the city gate.

Waiting for the carriage to gallop up, Baili Jun came back to his senses, looked at Bai Lilan in shock, and said, "Eldest sister, your identity is not ......" Before the words came out, Bai Lijun suddenly realized that the environment here was not suitable for saying this, so he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and just said vaguely, "Since it has nothing to do with Nanzhao, how can you make the officers and soldiers of Nanzhao so in awe of you?" Also, what is that jet-black stone for? It seems to work better than our token. ”

"There are only a few pieces in the entire Nanzhao, can it not be unusual." Lazily leaning on the cushion, Bai Lilan was not worried at all that she was in a foreign country, because in her opinion, neither Bac Ninh nor Nanzhao was her country, and she had always been just a sojourner.

"Fourth Miss, when the county lord was in Beining before, he had an acquaintance with Xin Xiang, and the two made an agreement, Xin Xiang first handed over the Panshan Stone to the county lord, and when he was done, he would exchange the treasure back."

After exploring this matter again, Bailijun roughly understood Chunfeng's words. It's just that this Baili Lan is really capable, and he actually got acquainted with Xin Xiang.

The carriage jolted into the town, and the captain arranged food and lodging for a few people, and then explained that the people below would take care of it, and then left in a hurry.

Nanzhao is different from Bac Ninh, with more cattle and sheep and less vegetables and fruits. Therefore, the first meal when I came to Nanzhao was the whole sheep banquet. The greasy and greasy meat made everyone unbearable, and after only a few movements, they all put down their chopsticks.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper approached in horror and said with a smiling face, "But don't the things in the small shop match the appetite of a few nobles?" ”

Wiping the corners of his mouth with the handkerchief handed over by the spring breeze, Xiaobao said dissatisfiedly, "It's all big pieces of mutton, of course you get tired of eating a little." I'm going to eat greens, and I'm going to have seafood soup, so hurry up and serve it! ”

Hearing such a request, the shopkeeper broke out in a cold sweat, and his back bent even more, "Everyone, it's not that the villain doesn't make it for the nobles, but those materials are not available here!" ”

"It's just vegetables and fish, there is nothing so simple as this, where did the captain lead us just now!" Xiaobao complained indignantly, "Is it that he has a grudge against the eldest sister and wants to take revenge on us!" ”

"This is the grassland, where do the fish come from?" Baili Lan pushed the plate in front of her outward, she wanted to drink tea to relieve her greasy, but she didn't want this mare's milk tea to be more greasy, so she frowned and put down the teacup and said, "If you can't get used to eating, let the spring breeze make you a bowl of one-sided soup in a while, bear with it first." When you arrive in Dadu, there are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and you will be feasting at that time. ”

Pursed his mouth in disappointment, Xiaobao whispered, "Then when will you get to Dadu?" ”

Seeing that these people were leaving, the shopkeeper suddenly came to his senses, and enthusiastically preemptively introduced, "There are five cities separated from Dadu here, which seems to be very far away, but our Nanzhao's horses are strong, and they can reach Dadu in a month." ”

"A month!" Xiaobao screamed, and then said depressedly, "Then won't I have to eat vegetables for a month?" Oh my God, it's horrible! ”

"There's nothing scary." Lazily stretched her waist, and Bai Lilan said, "The key is to see who makes this thing." With the spring breeze and summer rain here, can I still starve you? ”

Hearing Baili Lan say this, Chunfeng hurriedly bent down and smiled beside Xiaobao, "Little boy must believe in the craftsmanship of the slave." Don't you want to make soup, and the slave will use beef bones to make soup later, which is definitely not greasy. ”

"I'll just believe you. Ah, I still want to eat potpourri cake! ”

"Okay, good, slave and maid are going to prepare!" Chunfeng turned around and asked the shopkeeper where the kitchen was, and then secretly stuffed him with a few taels of silver, saying that he wanted to borrow the kitchen, so he went to the back kitchen with Xia Yu.

Bored of waiting, Xiaobao plans to go back to the room to rest. The bumps in the carriage in the past few days have made his little body a little unbearable.

Let Qiushuang take Xiaobao back to the room to rest, and Baili Lan and Dongxue will take the next journey.

"The shopkeeper is right, it is indeed separated from the capital by five cities. And the farther north, the colder the weather becomes, and I don't know if the master can adapt to the environment there. ”

The low temperature is nothing, Baili Lan once carried out a mission in Siberia, and the lowest temperature reached minus 50 degrees. At that time, she was so cold that she lost consciousness, and if it weren't for her tenacious willpower, I am afraid that she would have died in the line of duty.

"Before you go, get some winter clothes. Xiaobao has never been to the north, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand it. ”

"Yes!"

Looking at the people coming and going on the street, Baililan's eyes were like water, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

After a stick of incense, the spring breeze re-prepared a table of meals, and the fragrant smell instantly attracted everyone to look here. If it were normal, Xiaobao would definitely shout loudly and make those people turn their heads. But now all his energy is focused on the dishes on this table, and his index finger moves, and he raises his chopsticks and gobbles them up.

"Little boy, eat slowly, there will be braised hooves in a while, the spring breeze deliberately put more sugar, the little boy will definitely like it."

Taking the time to raise his head, Xiaobao nodded casually, unable to speak, only signaled with his eyes, "Take it all, I can eat it."

Looking at him like this, as if he hadn't eaten for a month, Bailijun was afraid that he would choke, so he poured a glass of water and handed it over, stroked Xiaobao's back with the other hand, and said, "No one will rob you, eat slowly!" It's not good to choke for a while. ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Xiaobao said vaguely, "The next time you have a full meal, it may be a month later, I have to eat more now!" ”

These childish words caused everyone to laugh, and looking at Baili Qingbao's eating appearance, people couldn't help but follow the index finger.

"Excuse me, girls, are you from Bac Ninh?"

Immediately putting away her smile, Baili Lan looked at the man standing at the table with vigilance. The man was in his early thirties, with a pale face and a kind smile in his eyes.

Seeing Baili Lan's full of vigilance, the man smiled gently, "Don't misunderstand, the girl is not Meng Lang's person, but when she smells the familiar hometown food, she can't help but come forward to ask." How many people are from the capital of Bac Ninh? ”

"It's just that we smell the fragrance of the vegetables, and we know where we come from, I don't know whether to praise the son for having a good nose or a good brain." Bai Lilan smiled faintly, although her tone was tepid, but the words she said were a little embarrassing.

But apparently, at the moment, the man did not care. He touched his nose and said kindly, "Friends say that my nose is like a dog's nose, and I smell things accurately." ”

The first time he heard someone say this about his nose, Bailijun couldn't help but look at that person a few more times. But that person seemed to feel Bailijun's attention, turned his head slightly sideways, and the two met their eyes, so shocked that Bailijun immediately turned his gaze, lowered his head, and felt like a little rabbit in his heart, pounding and jumping.

Bai Lilan naturally noticed Bai Lijun's red face, and she was more vigilant at the moment, and her tone became more and more unkind to the man, "What about the son's nose, it has nothing to do with us, please get out of the way, don't block our good mood of eating!" ”

The attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away made the man a little stupid, arched his hand, and said, "I'm sorry, it's abrupt again." The contemptible surname Shangguan, a single name and a Yan character, lived in the capital since childhood, and migrated to Nanzhao with his family after the age of ten. Today, when I smell the familiar smell, I can't help but be so bothered, bother the girl, and please Haihan! Giving another salute, Shangguan Yan took two steps back and sat back in his seat.

Seeing Shangguan Yan leaving, Baili Jun was a little disappointed, holding chopsticks in both hands, his eyes wandering.

"Why don't you eat it, these things won't taste good when they're cold." Baili Lan seemed to have no intention of standing Bai Lijun and did not mention what happened just now.

Seeing that Bai Lilan didn't take what happened just now to heart, Bai Lijun bit his lip and hesitated for a while, before he said timidly, "Eldest sister, we didn't know that person just now, and we annoyed him again, if he has bad intentions, will he retaliate against us?" ”

"Hmph, what about revenge, am I afraid of him?" Baili Lan didn't raise his head, ate a piece of dim sum made by the spring breeze, and said absent-mindedly, "I'm saying that without the permission of others, standing at the dinner table and talking to people, serious men can't do such a thing." Don't think about it, even if I marry you in the future, I won't consider such a man! ”

was told the central matter by Bai Lilan, Bai Li Jun immediately made a big red face, and shyly wanted to find a hole to drill into. The little hand ravaged the handkerchief, clutched it into a ball, and squeezed it in his palm.

"What did the eldest sister say, what did you marry the fourth sister?" Xiaobao saw that the atmosphere between the two was not right, and asked hurriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay, the eldest sister just made a hypothesis." Baili Jun forced a smile, patted Baili Qingbao's head, and said comfortingly, "And I don't want to get married, I want to follow the eldest sister and take care of you." ”

Licking his fingers unsatisfied, Xiaobao put his heart in his stomach and said, "So that's the case." But Xiaobao doesn't need to be taken care of by my sisters, I can take care of myself, and when I grow up, I have to protect my sisters! ”

Tapping the tip of his nose stained with sauce, Baili Lan teased, "What kind of protection do you use, is it your good appetite?" ”

"Big sister!" Baili Qingbao crossed his waist angrily, regardless of whether the oil stains on his hands would stain his clothes, and unwillingly maintained his little manly face, "I will practice martial arts well, so that no one can bully you." I also have to learn the art of power and be a character who turns the clouds and rain. Also, I want to make friends with the heroes of the world and make my sisters proud of me! ”

Looking at Baili Qingbao's appearance like a little adult, everyone couldn't help but laugh, and the inexplicable emotions between him and Baili Jun just now also subsided a little.

"Yes, yes, our little boy must be a hero in the world. It's just that this hero, the slave and the beef bone sesame soup are not served, can you still eat it? ”

"Of course you can!" patting his round little belly, Baili Qingbao's casual appearance really has a bit of a hero's shadow.

His indifferent gaze fell on Xiaobao's body, but Yu Guang was always observing the changes in Shangguan Yan.
