"Well, the family has a difficult scripture, although my sister is not from Yanjing, but several generations have lived in Yanjing, the ancestors of the family have made a living from business, now the Taiping army controls Longdong, and the Western Regions in the west are said to be in constant conflict with the northwest and North Luzon, my father feels that this trade route is not very safe, I want to see how the situation is, if the risk is too great, my father wants to change to the south of the trade route, or by water into the sea, through the ship to transport the goods to the west. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info this was supposed to be my brother's coming, but my brother accidentally broke his leg when he went out on horseback before he set off, so my sister had to bear the burden. "I have lived in Yanjing for several years and seen a lot of ups and downs, and I have trained Sophia to be a sharp mouth that deceives the dead and does not pay for her life, and she makes up stories one after another.

Both sides are trying to find any loopholes or horses from each other's rhetoric, hoping to see the other party's origin, after all, it is too coincidental, the same travel direction, the same line of three people, one master, one maid and one servant, and the most important thing is that both masters have found many unusual sides hidden behind each other.

"Oh, it seems that my sister and my little sister are the same, they both came here to replace their father and brother. The snow-clad girl smiled faintly, perhaps she also found that the other party was just as reluctant to reveal her purpose as herself, and they all made up the reasons so well and so seamlessly.

"Well, we're both fallen people at the end of the world, girl, don't you say?" Sophia smiled in return.

Seeing that there is nothing to be said from the other party's mouth, the two daughters have invariably hung the customs of their respective hometowns as a topic, in order to find something from the other party's words, but the girl in snow is of course not leaking, and Sophia has lived in Yanjing for a long time, and she has been familiar with the customs of Yanjing for a long time, and she is already familiar with the customs of Yanjing, and she is also able to speak well.

Until the lights fell off and the night was dark, the two daughters talked quite deed, until the second daughter's maid reminded the time that it was not early, and the two daughters reluctantly ended the first meeting, and each returned to their respective rooms to sleep with the intention of guessing the identity of the other party. But when it comes to the itinerary, the two daughters invited each other to go with each other in unison, anyway, a large part of the journey from Partridge Pass to Qingyang is the only way for the two daughters, fortunately, they are already northwest jurisdictions along the way, and the public security situation has always been good, so there is no need to worry about any accidents.

After the Northwest Army captured the Partridge Pass, in view of the important surname of the road from Bonan Yangmakou to Partridge Pass, the northwest soon put the repair and widening of this road in the first place, it took only three months, the road from Yangmakou to Partridge Pass was doubled, and the road condition after leveling was very good, enough to accommodate two large carriages in parallel is still very loose.

The carriage galloped briskly on the wide avenue, swaying gusts of wind, the wind chimes hanging on the head of the carriage were imported from the Western Continent, the shape was quite elegant and beautiful, and a series of fine melodious bells sounded between the swaying in the wind, which sounded soothing to the mind.

"Sister, do you think this northwest scenery is a little different from the Central Plains of the Empire?" The snow-clad girl sitting on the left side lifted the curtain of the carriage and pointed to the farmer's house that had begun to get busy in the field.

"Well, the northwest is sparsely populated, but it seems that this area is still very calm, and I don't see anything different from other places. Sophia's eyes were also cast on the scenery outside the window, the ground in the early spring still could not get rid of some cold, but the hard farmer could not wait, and began to work non-stop, making various preparations for the next harvest.

"Well, it is said that this area has been taken over by Li Wufeng, the military and political envoy of the northwest of the empire and the governor of Northern Luzon, and now it is from Partridge Pass in the east to Bauhinia Pass in the westernmost part of North Luzon in the west, stretching for more than 2,000 miles, all of which are the territory of our imperial hero. The tone of the snow-clad girl was very flat, and she couldn't hear any inclination.

"Hey, my sister is very familiar with the situation in Luzon, and even knows the Bauhinia Pass in North Luzon?" asked Sophia, pretending to be puzzled.

"Uh, well," the girl in the snowcoat was shocked in her heart, she didn't expect the other party's sense of touch to be so keen, she was a little careless, and a little flaw on her mouth was noticed by the other party, "Oh, although the little sister doesn't go out much at home, but there are many relatives at home who make a living from business, and they often go in and out of North Luzon and even west to Indian, so the little sister has also heard about the customs and customs over there." ”

"Oh, it seems that the girl is also a caring person, and she knows the geographical situation thousands of miles away. Sophia didn't say anything more, just brought it casually, but it had already made the snow-clothed girl secretly vigilant in her heart.

My sister smiled, but my sister seemed to be familiar with the situation in the west of the empire. The girl in the snowcoat took the opportunity of the combing show to cover herself, while quietly counterattacking.

"That's true, my sister has been fond of travel since she was a child, and when she was a child, she spent two years traveling to the South Seas Alliance, Milan, Mahad, and the southern countries of Andako, and the empire's Jiangnan, East China Sea, Five Lakes, and Heshuo counties My sister has also traveled to many places, although the west has not yet been taken, but my sister is very fond of this aspect, so she loves to collect this aspect of the situation, so it can be regarded as familiar. Sophia replied with some pride.

What she said is not a lie, since she was a child who loves to travel, she has visited the scenic spots all over the Eastern Continent, and what she owes is to travel to the west, but before she has time to repay her wishes, the disaster of the death of the country has befallen her head, and as soon as the words came out, she evoked a trace of memories of her travel life, and even remembered that she had become a part of the Maqi Khanate, and a gloomy mood slowly floated in her heart.

The girl in the snow suit was also keenly aware of the changes in the other party's mood, first proud, then depressed, but of course she couldn't understand why the other party's mood had changed so much.

"Oh, it seems that my sister has really traveled thousands of miles and read thousands of books. The snow-clothed girl echoed with a smile, "It's just that the situation in the west of the empire is not very stable now, if my sister wants to take this opportunity to travel, she really has to plan her itinerary carefully to avoid any accidents." ”

"Well, I didn't plan to travel at first, but I don't think even the Longdong occupied by Taiping County doesn't seem to have any chaotic appearance, it seems to be governed quite like a thing, the girl came from Jiangchuan, and it should have passed through Hanzhong and Xikang, these two places are also controlled by the Taiping Army, isn't the situation the same?" Sophia's eyes flowed, but the surface was silent, she already felt that the companion on the other side was definitely not an ordinary person, and it was definitely not what the other party said in his own mouth, although it was not possible to determine the identity of the other party, but after this conversation and observation, she was sure that the identity of the other party would definitely not be the daughter of the ordinary rich and noble, this is an intuition, although there is no exact basis, but Sophia has always believed in her intuition.

"Well, it should be said that it's not bad, at least there haven't been many troubles, everything seems to be similar to the original empire, the girl heard from those relatives who had taken these two places before she set off, and it seems that the evaluation is very good, so she dares to do it, and the situation is indeed as they said. The girl in the snow suit also quietly observed the other party's demeanor, until now, she still can't hear what the other party's purpose is to ask these words, although she usually has less contact with outsiders, but she can also feel the other party's unusual bearing after the light veil mask, that kind of innate noble temperament is by no means something that ordinary businessmen can cultivate, but there is some taste of the emperor's family, the girl in the snow coat suddenly has such a feeling in her heart, even she herself feels a little ridiculous.

"Well, even the territory under the management of the Taiping Sect, which is feared by those dignitaries and nobles in the capital, must be better under the jurisdiction of Li Wufeng, who is known as the king of the northwest, as can be seen from the Partridge Pass, this Lord Li seems to be very unusual. The topic slowly turned to the veritable Emperor of the Northwest, and a look of expectation flashed in Sophia's eyes.

"Well, maybe, but I heard that this Lord Li seems to be having a very unpleasant quarrel with several countries in the Western Regions now, and I heard that there is a war some time ago, and I don't know if there is such a thing?"

Glancing at the other party slightly, Sophia smiled secretly in her heart, but on the surface she pretended not to notice at all, "Well, it seems that there is a war, but it doesn't seem to be in the northwest, it's on the side of North Luzon, right? Lord Li seems to be still the governor of North Luzon, so naturally the relationship between the countries of the Western Regions and the northwest is also tense, and I don't know what the situation is now? But looking at the situation in front of me, it seems that there is no too tense atmosphere." ”

"Well, maybe this is far from the western border, and it is a deserted village, so the common people can't feel it yet, and they may be able to know a thing or two when they get to Bonan. The girl in the snow suit was also a little surprised that the other party was well-informed, even if it was a business family, it may not be clear where the war would take place, but the other party was able to accurately say that it happened in North Luzon and not in the northwest, which could not help but make people suspicious, but the girl in snow did not say anything more.

In fact, neither of the two daughters is a spy for spying on intelligence, and they have never experienced professional training in this area, but they just deal with it by feeling. Not only is it difficult to justify themselves in their respective identities, but also the things exposed between gestures and words are full of loopholes, but novice to novice, the two girls still think that their performances are very perfect in place, and they are still proud of their own omissions in detecting each other's omissions.
