Chapter 521: Border City Incident
She didn't sleep well last night, and she barely had a sense of sleep until midnight, and she never dreamed this time, but she had a lot of strange dreams, and she couldn't sleep again after waking up in a daze.
She lay on the bed for a while, but she didn't feel sleepy and got up, and the maid guarding the door heard the movement and hurriedly called someone in to serve.
Soon the sky was bright, although there was a maid in the house to serve, but she was still used to making breakfast by herself, crispy sesame burritos with a bowl of chicken porridge, it can be said that she was very satisfied.
Thinking that he was going to Dacheng today, Gu Jinfeng also got up early to prepare, some daily necessities had already been placed in the carriage, in order to prevent bumps on the road, he also specially ordered someone to buy a lot of soft fur and put it in the carriage, which was not only beautiful but also practical, but Qi Ling was very happy.
Not long after the sun rose, Ning Ke rode to the mansion with four or five carts and horses dragging goods.
"Yo, Brother Gu got up early."
"Brother Ning is also quite early."
Gu Jinfeng greeted with a smile, glanced at the carriage behind him and asked, "Is this the spice in it?" ”
"Yes, this is still collected by the adults with great effort, he heard that Qi Yatou is very good at using these, so he ordered people to collect a lot, and some of them are not often used by ordinary people, and it is also convenient for the girl to show her skills, and when the time comes, the seasoning tube is enough!"
"Okay, thank you for me."
"No problem, I'll bring it!"
Not long after Ning Ke left, Zhang Mo also came, but he didn't bring condiments but Lu Ye, who had been in prison for a long time, since he wanted to release him back to Dacheng, Hengzong allowed the imperial doctor to treat most of the injuries on his body, and also sorted out his appearance, and now he looks like an ordinary person, not as bad as in prison.
Zhang Mo stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, with some apologies: "It's not that I didn't help that day, it's that adults... I'm sorry bro! ”
Gu Jinfeng expressed understanding: "I understand your difficulties, General Zhang should not blame himself." ”
"If you don't blame me, it's naturally the best, this is a long way, you take care all the way!"
Lu Ye is now broken in his hands and feet, and he can only barely walk after being cured by the imperial doctor, plus the suffering he suffered in prison for half a month, the whole person has long lost his previous bravery, in order to prevent him from hanging up halfway, Gu Jinfeng prepared an extra carriage for him very intimately.
After all, Rouille was their chief negotiator in approaching the people of Dacheng, and if he died halfway, the plan would not be able to proceed.
On this crisp autumn morning, a mighty carriage and horse set off from the capital.
Xu Yu stood in front of the window and looked at the big trees with scattered dead leaves in the yard, lowering his eyes and not knowing what he was thinking, and at the same time, in the palace mansion, a sneer bloomed at the corner of Han Chen's mouth.
The journey to Dacheng is extremely difficult, but there are opportunities to compete, so don't blame your subordinates for being ruthless when the time comes.
The journey has always been boring and boring, at the beginning it was fine, everything felt fresh, but after two hours of driving, it felt really boring.
Qingyu talked to her in the carriage, racking her brains to recall some of the scenes she had seen about Dacheng before, saying that to get there, she had to pass through a sandy land with wind and sand, and then she had to pass through the yellow wasteland, and finally arrived at Dacheng City.
Originally, I thought that what Qingyu said was just a description in the book, but when I really met it, Qi Ling's whole person was not good.
Six days after setting off from the capital, their team began to slowly approach the border city, and the first thing they could feel was the sudden drop in temperature, which was completely different from the suitable climate in the capital, and the cold that almost penetrated into the bones made everyone put on warm cotton clothes.
Qi Ling sat in the carriage holding the stove, and from time to time he could hear the wind whistling outside the carriage.
"Qingyu, are we almost in the border city?"
Qingyu lifted the curtain and looked at the surrounding scene, there was a strong wind outside, and the weather was very gray, as if a heavy rain was coming.
"We've been from the capital for five or six days, and we've been on the road with little rest along the way, so it's almost the same as the journey."
Qi Ling breathed a sigh of relief: "Then hurry up and go to the border city to rest before leaving." ”
The continuous rush in the past few days has made the guards extremely tired, and even Gu Jinfeng's whole person has lost a lot of weight, and she is quite distressed to see it.
What I can do is to change the tricks to make more nutritious food for him, so that the body does not lose too much.
There were ten guards who came to escort this time, all of them were indifferent and didn't like to talk, a few days ago, because they didn't catch up with the hotel, they could only spend the night in the wild, Gu Jinfeng went to catch a few wild pheasants and roe deer and handed them to her to cook, Qi Ling rolled up his sleeves and made a lot of good dishes without saying a word.
Several pheasants have done different cooking methods, fried and roasted, the overwhelming aroma of the rush to make the tired day of the people shocked, with the mushrooms and wild vegetables found by Qingyu with roe deer meat boiled a pot of fresh even the tongue to drop the wild vegetable broth, eat everyone convinced.
The next day, she was no longer so indifferent to her, and when she was forced to sleep in the wild, she would go to catch prey and hand it over to Qi Ling to cook.
The black oppressive sky carried an incomprehensible sense of oppression, the cloak on Gu Jinfeng's body was blown hunting, he looked up at the sky, frowned, and said, "Tell everyone to speed up, and try to enter the border city before the heavy rain." ”
"Yes!"
Fortunately, when the sky was completely dark, the team finally entered the border city, which also means that it is not far from Dacheng.
'Boom! ’
As soon as everyone settled down in the inn, there was a muffled thunder outside the inn, accompanied by heavy rain, pouring down from the sky like a basin of poured water, which was a little incredible.
The shopkeeper of the inn looked at the heavy rain outside and sighed: "This may be the biggest rain in the history of the border city, and it is estimated that it will take a few days." ”
Qi Ling asked curiously: "Shopkeeper, hasn't it rained in this city for a long time?" ”
"Yes, it has hardly rained in the past half a month, and a few people look at the faces, where did they come from?"
Gu Jinfeng took over with a smile: "We are from the capital, and we want to go to Dacheng to do some business." ”
The shopkeeper shook his head in disapproval when he heard this: "It's better for you to do business wherever you go than to Dacheng, since the last war, the people in the city have hated them, and they used to let them in to trade, but now it looks like the adults are all driven away!" And I've heard that these guys are starting to get restless again now, wandering around the border city, and I don't know what the hell they're up to! ”
Gu Jinfeng pretended to be surprised: "Could it be that they are preparing to attack again?" ”
The shopkeeper shook his head: "I don't know about this, young man, I advise you not to covet these, this adult is very vicious, you can be lost for money It's not worth it, Da Ming is wide, where you go to do business is better than going to that ghost place!" ”
It seems that the shopkeeper treats them as black merchants, and some bold merchants will resell some ordinary items when the relationship between the two countries is extremely poor, such as medicines, and the price is even more outrageous, but this is also risky, and it needs to pass through sand and wasteland, which is not something that ordinary people can insist on.
But once you persevere and successfully reach Dacheng, you will get several times the reward.
Facing the shopkeeper's persuasion, Gu Jinfeng smiled and did not answer.
As the shopkeeper said, the rain fell for two days in a row, until the morning of the third day barely stopped, these two days everyone is also a good rest, just as they are about to pack up their things and continue to set off, but suddenly heard some people talk that Dacheng seems to be attacking again!
Gu Jinfeng immediately put down the work in his hand and stepped forward to ask: "This little brother, I want to ask what happened?" ”
"What else could it be, those restless fellows are here again, and I heard that it seems to be coming to the city!"
