Chapter 182: Flower Protector
Before dark, the brigade finally arrived at the town, which looked like a village surrounded by adobe walls in the middle of nowhere, but as far as the eye could see, there were many people, and people who wanted to live here had gathered.
In the middle is the widest street, on both sides are two-story restaurants and inns, as soon as the brigade enters, there are immediately guarded city soldiers to the county yamen, the county lord runs out while wearing clothes, and runs away when waiting for the city gate to greet him.
"The lower official has seen the prince" Outside the carriage, the county lord knelt down and saluted.
At this time, the doors on both sides of the street were not closed, and when they saw that the prince had come to this small place, how could they not be flattered and frightened, and they all came out to kneel down to greet them, and Long Hu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he saw it.
Mu Lingxue poked her head out and looked forward, after all, she was sitting in a carriage loaded with medicinal herbs, and she rushed back from behind, so at the last person, seeing that no one noticed here, she got out of the carriage.
He said to the guard in the back, "I'm going to buy something for women." β
The guard twitched the corners of his lips, the woman's things were nothing more than the moon belt used for some menstrual affairs, and only the princess could say it bluntly without blushing, taking advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, Mu Lingxue turned around and hid her figure in the crowd, and when she saw that no one was paying attention, she slowly walked into the depths of the alley.
Along the way, she also thought about it, the inn can't live, and when you look for someone, you will definitely find it, and everyone's family is not good at the moment, this town is not big or small, in case you have to check door to door, it is not safe.
When he saw a place selling cotton clothes, he walked in, and when he came out, he had changed into a man's cotton clothes, and when he found a place where there was no one, he lay on the ground and rolled around a few times, stained his clothes, and took out the hemp rope that he had just asked for from the shopkeeper and tied it around his waist, and then he looked for a place where the beggar lived.
Along the way, the bun was also scattered and wrapped in a broken cloth.
At this time, it was time to cook dinner, the smoke rose from the house, Mu Lingxue retracted her eyes enviously, she would not be able to be free in a few days, she tightened the clothes on her body, and when she found a broken temple, she saw a few beggars crowded in the corner.
Seeing her come in and look at it, Mu Lingxue's face was muddy at this time, and the newly bought cotton clothes made her tear it again, rolling on the ground, compared with these beggars, she was even more broken than others.
She found a sheltered corner and squatted down, although she later bought more cotton and stuffed it into her cotton pants, but lying on the ground could not protect herself from the cold, her eyes searched in the temple for a week, and saw that some of the hay was taken by the beggars to block the cold, and finally she could only sit on the ground first.
Thinking that she was forced to become a beggar from the princess, she was embarrassed to talk to people when she went back in the future, but fortunately, she ate a rabbit leg in the carriage and survived until tomorrow night.
Here, Mu Lingxue found a good place for herself, and after everyone arrived at the yamen, they found that the person was gone, Long Hu only felt a chill on his back, and it was impossible to hide it from the prince after such a big thing.
Running all the way, Feng Guqiu was welcomed into the main courtyard by the county lord, and when he saw the appearance of the prince, this small county town had already boiled, this is a fairy-like person, even the lady of the county lord's family looked at her eyes straight, and the county lord shouted a few times before coming back to his senses.
The county lord only felt ashamed, and he was angry in his heart, "Don't let people prepare hot soup soon." β
The county lady blessed her body, and when she went out, she didn't forget to take a sneak look, and the county lord saw everything in his eyes, thinking that he was cleaning up this at night for the mother-in-law who wanted to steal.
Feng Guqiu saw Long Hu coming in, and said softly, "It's arranged?" β
Long Hu knelt on the ground, "Master, the princess is lost." β
Fenggu Qiuteng stood up suddenly, and when the county lord saw this posture, he was frightened and knelt on the ground, obediently, the princess was lost? Didn't you lose it when you got to town? Wouldn't you be greedy for responsibility?
Thinking that he has been an official in this town for decades, he is no different from a farmer, and it is a blessing to be fortunate to see the prince today, and he doesn't want to be a disaster, and the sweat on his forehead is also frightened.
Feng Gu Qiu sat back in the chair with a gloomy face, "Find, dig three feet into the ground to find people." β
The county lord heard that he was busy forgiving his sins, "The lower official will send someone to find it." β
Waiting for you? A hint of sarcasm flashed in Feng Guqiu's eyes, not to underestimate him, just with that woman's IQ, since she had walked, she must have made a perfect plan, how could it be easy for people to find it.
"Let's start with the beggars and homeless people." Definitely not staying in an inn.
Long Hu responded to the order and retreated, the county lord didn't dare to get up, wiped the sweat on his head, "The lower official is guilty, ask the prince to punish." β
"Get up."
I trembled when I said anything, and he didn't lose people, these officialsγγγ
The county lord got up from the ground, and he didn't dare to breathe, this is the majesty of the heavenly family, he knelt down to the ground in fright with a word, if he really lost his temper, wouldn't he have to lose his head?
Outside, Long Hu took the prince's guards to inquire about where there were beggars from people's mouths, and went in the direction, Mu Lingxue in the broken temple heard footsteps outside, and tilted his head to expose his face outside.
She thought about it, the more she dodged, the more suspicious it became, so it was better to let them see their faces directly, after all, it was night, even if the torches were lit, the light in the broken temple was not bright, and the dragon and tiger's eyes swept over a few beggars for a week, and finally stopped at a lone figure in another corner, looked at it, and then turned around and left with people.
Mu Lingxue was afraid that people would turn back, so she still had that expression, and when she got to the few beggars on the opposite side, she saw that something was wrong, obviously she was fine when she came in, why did the official change his appearance as soon as he came in?
Sure enough, Long Hu took people back again, and after looking around in the broken temple, he took people away, Mu Lingxue let out a sigh of relief, and when she saw that those people were still looking at her, she glared at her coldly.
The frightened beggars hurriedly withdrew their eyes, looking at the different clothes of those officials, this new beggar is afraid that he is a big criminal, and his eyes can freeze to death, where do he dare to do much.
Mu Lingxue enjoyed the fun of being a 'wicked person' very much, and secretly snickered enough, before she shrank down and looked at the sky, squatting in this corner to see the stars in the starry sky outside.
I never knew that the starry sky was so beautiful, as if I could reach those stars by running over and reaching out.
Breathing in his hand, he just hoped that the night would pass quickly, and in this broken temple, he could still hear the sound of looking for someone outside, it seemed that Feng Guqiu really wanted to find himself out.
It's been four days since I calculated it, and I don't know what happened to my eldest brother? Is it true that you want to go back to the capital by yourself? But in such weather, if I want to go back, I have to wait for the weather to be warm, and I have to find someone to lead the way, and I don't know how long the twenty taels of silver in my pocket can last.
It's really not okay to be a foot doctor, at least you can't starve to death.
Planned for the worst outcome of the long-term thing, yawned, and calculated that it had been nearly three hours since the dragon and tiger brought people to the present, and an hour in ancient times was two hours in modern times, and she only stood up when it was about to dawn.
If he really slept here, he was still a little afraid that those beggars would have bad intentions towards him, the important thing was that he didn't know if he froze to death after he fell asleep, all the way along the street, Mu Lingxue stopped in front of the most remote inn on the most main street in the town, hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door, Xiao Er came out with a lantern, and when he saw that he was asking for food, he opened his mouth to scold.
Mu Lingxue took out a piece of silver, how could she have half a tael, handed it over, as soon as she saw that there was money, Xiao Er smiled and welcomed people in, doing business in the town, and the general business was not very good.
After all, this is remote, and there are no merchants passing by, so most of the inns are their own houses, and only in the summer, there are rich merchants who come here to collect mountain goods and furs to do it for a few months, and there are people in those months throughout the year, and there is not even a fly at other times.
"How much a day?" Mu Lingxue lowered her voice, making people sound like a man, and her outfit was according to a man.
Where would Xiao Er pay attention to these in the middle of the night, "The guest officer's half a tael of silver can live for seven days." β
While leading people to the guest room on the first floor, fortunately this is the north, and the guests live downstairs in winter, so that they can sleep on the hot ondol, Mu Lingxue is really tired, and after entering the room, he gave Xiao Er and a half two taels of silver, "Send three meals a day for seven days." β
Xiao Er happily took the silver and went down, in this poor place, a family of five or six people spent only two or three taels of silver a year, and earned one or two silver this night, how could he not be happy, looking at the worn clothes, he was rich, and he was generous.
Mu Lingxue took off the dirty clothes on her body, revealed her own clothes inside, grabbed the quilt and smelled it, fortunately it was very clean, but she was not taking off her clothes, she pulled the quilt with her clothes together and fell asleep.
I have been on the road for the past few days, although I have a better life than the guards, but I have not suffered less, once I occupy this hot kang, how can I be uncomfortable, there is a reason why Mu Lingxue is so relieved, I have searched it at night, and it is impossible to come to search it early in the morning, so I am so relieved.
On the other side, Lin Chengzhi took his father to his own people, and rushed all the way non-stop, and when the horse was tired, he let people change horses, although he was late for one night, and he also entered the town at this time.
They were dressed as businessmen, and after arriving in the town, Li Wang went to inquire first, and after returning to report, Lin Cheng heard that he happened to be in the town, and he couldn't stop smiling.
"Let's find an inn to live in first, don't alarm them, and then there will be a sudden demand, and we want to see what Feng Guqiu has to say." Lin Cheng was holding his breath on the way, just waiting to find someone and Fenggu Qiu to make trouble.
Li Wang heard that the young master didn't want people to find out, so he found the smallest and most remote inn and settled down, coincidentally, it was the inn where Mu Lingxue lived.
