If you hide 'touching' and 'touching', it will arouse the suspicion of others, and at this time, anything suspicious may attract an investigation!
So Xuan Bao simply let them go and see it generously, which made the city guards even more suspicious, and one of them asked him in a low voice: "Tell me the truth to Lao Tzu, what kind of patients are inside?"
Xuan Bao leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Lord Tang in the city said that it seems to be leprosy, whether it is or not, I have to go to other places to see before I dare to conclude." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info [Look at the latest chapter of this book, please go to a few military masters, please check quickly, if you infect others, the villain can't afford it!"
As soon as they heard that it was leprosy, several city guards were all frightened and avoided it, eager to slash this guy on his body! Damn you, you are afraid of infecting passers-by, aren't you afraid that Lao Tzu will also be infected? A leader yelled: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, let them go first..."
It wasn't until the city 'gate' could no longer be seen that Ning Xian'er and Hong Mei lifted the dirty and smelly cotton curtain from the inside, and 'exposed' their heads from the inside, gasping for breath, retching from time to time.
Ning Wujin grabbed the broken curtain and the torn clothes piled up inside and was about to throw them away, but Xuan Bao hurriedly grabbed him: "Fifth master, it's better not to lose it!"
Ning Xian'er said with a bitter face: "Brother Xuan, if these things are put in the car, they will have to stink people to death! In this kind of weather, we are still dressed like this, even if we are not caught by those officers and soldiers, we will be covered to death!"
"There's no way to do that!" Xuan Bao said helplessly to everyone: "As long as we don't 'mess' Yunshan, these things can only be kept, because we have to avoid not only those city 'gate' soldiers, but also the patrols on the road and the eyeliner of the army and the government." ”
Not going into the city doesn't mean there is no danger. Compared with Jiangnan, Jiangbei is a relatively small place and a relatively concentrated population, unless you go to Mobei, from the south of Ice Cliff City, it is basically a city next to a city, and the distance is not more than a day's journey.
In this way, it has contributed to the official road extending in all directions, and the flow of people is bustling, among which there are many people in the public 'door', plus there are many people, if you want to pretend to be sick, you have to pretend to be in the end, otherwise it is easy to be looked at by people with intentions, and then report to the government or the army, causing trouble for yourself!
At the thought of having to walk with these stinking things to Ice Cliff City in a car with them, the two 'girl' children let out a painful 'moan' and reluctantly shrank into the carriage. If you want to be safe, you always have to pay a price, and they also understand this truth, who let themselves get into trouble!
However, I have to admit that the method that Xuanbao came up with is absolutely good enough and quite effective. [Fast update,Refreshing website pages,Few ads,,I like this kind of website the most,Be sure to praise] Although there are a lot of interrogations along the way, but as soon as I heard that it was a leper, I didn't even dare to lean up, and I avoided it all from afar!
After the Huanzhou City, it is a few small cities, and then it is necessary to detour to the west, avoid the Lingcheng Bingtun, and enter the Jingmo Ancient Road, which is the witness of the Central Plains and Mobei Helan for hundreds of years, and now it will soon become the military road of Helan to attack the Central Plains!
As long as you get on the Jingmo Ancient Road, the speed will be accelerated, and before you go again, you must first go to a place, that is, Fengxi Matun! This is a small city built by a special 'gate' to assist the Lingcheng soldiers, and it is famous for breeding good horses.
Now everyone's horses are old horses, with strong endurance and poor momentum, this is to make the carriage less conspicuous on the official road, and the broken car with a good horse will definitely arouse the suspicion of others!
However, once you pass Fengxi Matun and directly bypass the Lingcheng Bingtun and the 'chaotic' Yunshan, it is equivalent to getting rid of the blockade of the Yin army, and the government's investigation, you can quickly step up and run along the Jingmo Ancient Road to Ice Cliff City!
In the past two days, everyone has been sleeping in the open, and they haven't even eaten a hot meal, but this kind of weather doesn't care if it's hot or not, as long as there is water, anything can be swallowed!
When I arrived at Fengxi Matun, it was almost dark. This small town is not big, so there are no 'gates' and no walls. To say that it is not big refers to its size, in terms of territory and number of people, it is really not small, there are large and small horse farms everywhere, the small ones have dozens of horses, and the big ones have thousands!
Some people say that the most prosperous place in the Yin Dynasty was in Kyoto, but the richest place was in Fengxi! It can be seen that although Fengxi is small, it is more lively than Yucheng and Huanzhou!
The feed and cost of raising a horse a year can support two soldiers, so horses are more expensive than people, and it is very good for ordinary people to have a horse, and there are hundreds of horses at least, all of them are horse farm owners, and everyone's back and scenery are not simple, all of them are relatives of court officials!
Fengxi also has a name, called the City That Never Sleeps. As long as you have money, you can play everything you want here, and as long as you have money, you can eat any food you want here!
Not only those ministers of the DPRK and China, but even the officers and soldiers who guarded the Lingcheng also liked to run here, have fun all night, and then either lose a penny, or get drunk, before being taken to the carriage by the servants and sent home!
The advantage of a large number of people is that it will not be so conspicuous, here gold and silver jewelry is a pass, no matter where you come from and where you are going, as long as there is silver, this is heaven!
The horse market is closed in the evening, and if you want to buy a horse, you will have to wait until tomorrow. There was no way, everyone had to stay here for one night, I wanted to find an inn, but I didn't expect to find four or five houses, and they were already full!
There is a war going on in the north, and some of the merchants who have been in the Ice Cliff City all the year round have returned to the mainland, this gold cave between the northern Xinjiang and the Central Plains is also the favorite place for these merchants who come from the south to the north, so the inns in the city are overcrowded, but not only the inns can sleep, many places can sleep comfortably for a night, such as casinos, such as green buildings...
It's a pity that none of these places can go to Xuanbao, so there is no inn, and everyone can only live in the carriage, fortunately, the stinky curtains and rotten clothes that have been erected on the road I don't know how many times have been thrown away, and the food on the carriage has been almost consumed, enough for a few people to rest.
The crowd is now parked in the firewood room of an inn, which is still a place where 'spending' a tael of silver to live in. Although the guest room is full, the firewood room can still live in people, but the rich people disdain to come here, and Xuanbao and others don't pay attention to these.
The two 'girl' children slept in a carriage, and the remaining three old men slept on the ground, spreading the hay, and fell asleep in all directions.
Those two horses had already been bought by the shopkeeper in this shop when they moved in, and they were bought for almost forty silver in Huanzhou, but now they are sold for less than half the price, only fifteen taels, and two horses cannot be exchanged for one!
That can't be helped, the horse market here is the largest in the entire Central Plains, unless it is a high-quality horse with pure blood, it is not worth a few dollars at all!
The money to buy the horse was from Xuanbao, but the money from the sale of the horse has not been returned to him, it is still on Hong Sheng's body, and Xuanbao didn't ask for it, all the way he has seen that Hong Sheng can't raise his head and deliberately keeps a distance from him, thinking that it is also because he has no money in his pocket, he feels that he has no confidence, and the money may as well be given to him, if he feels that it is not enough, he can give him more, just don't affect the friendship between friends!
I didn't sleep well for several days after being tired, although the environment was not very good, and there were countless mosquito bites, but everyone fell asleep quickly!
Xiaobao also lay on the grass and closed his eyes, and soon his whole body relaxed, it had been a long time since he had used "A Thousand Miles of Marriage" with Xiao Yin, why don't you try to contact her?
After letting go of her divine sense, it took nearly half an hour, and Xuan Bao was still disappointed and chose to give up! Xiao Yin still didn't have the slightest sense, could it be that something had happened to her?
Xiao Yin didn't get in touch, but Hong Sheng next to him moved, quietly got up, looked around, and then whispered to Xuan Bao: "Ah Xuan, are you awake?"
His action made Xuanbao feel a little strange, so he didn't make a sound, just half-opened his eyes and watched what he was going to do next.
Hearing no response, Hong Sheng relieved himself, carefully got up from the ground, and then tiptoed to the carriage next to him.
It was Ning Xian'er who was asleep on the carriage, and at this moment, the thick curtain had been removed, and even the curtains were lowered for fear of the stuffiness on the car, so Ning Xian'er curled up on the car board, with a thin robe under her. Although the conditions are very simple, it is much cleaner than sleeping on the ground.
Hong Sheng stood beside Ning Xian'er, stretched out his hand to cover a thin blanket on her body, but his hand retracted halfway through! Xuan Bao looked at his face with a contradictory feeling of admiration and inferiority, and then gritted his teeth, turned his head and left.
It's so late, where is he going? Does he want to go to the informant? Xuan Bao quickly overturned his idea, and in the past few days of contact, he also saw that Hong Sheng was not a heartless person, and it was impossible for him to do such a treacherous thing.
So where will he go?" Xuanbao simply didn't sleep, got up from the ground, quietly followed, and followed him out of the back 'door' of the inn and onto the street.
At this moment, it should be almost the end of the day, but the streets are still brightly lit, all of them are small vendors selling wontons or dumplings, and some restaurants or green buildings with red lanterns, not the laughter of men!
Hong Sheng walked very hesitantly, as if he was still struggling in his heart about what he wanted to do, Xuanbao looked at him and wanted to turn back a few times, but he still stomped his feet and continued to walk forward!
Finally, Hong Sheng stood still, next to a small 'door', there was a burst of shouting from inside, Hong Sheng stood at the 'door' for a full quarter of an hour, and finally broke in!
What kind of place is this? Could it be that Hong Sheng didn't sleep in the middle of the night, just to come to this place? There are a few lanterns hanging at the 'door' of the building next to it, and there are a few girls at the 'door' entrance, obviously a green building, and this small 'door' is open next door to the green building, is it the side 'door'?
Haha? Hongsheng, this kid wants to go to the kiln? It's no wonder, he is older than Xuanbao, although he is interested in Ning Xian'er, but since he knew that he was the general's 'daughter', this guy was stunned, and he didn't dare to step forward at all, so why...
Xuan Bao smiled, but quickly denied his guess, because no Qinglou still needs to leave a side 'door' next to it, and this small 'door' should not be connected to the building next to it!
Looking around, Xuan Bao walked to a wonton stall next to him, took out a piece of broken silver, and bought the straw hat that the stall owner carried behind to shade the sun during the day, and then put it on his head, covering his face, and walked into the small 'door'.
