Chapter 135: Wooden Ox Flowing Horse

A chance encounter with a person suspected of catching fast did not affect Li Anran's appetite. Although two steaks were given away, there was no shortage of them in the cooler, and it didn't take long to re-bake them.

Just as Li Anran continued to enjoy his sumptuous and delicious lunch, Wei Yan, who had just left, chose a place to stop his horse after running a few miles away, and then lit a bonfire and began to eat.

If Li Anran was present at this time, it would be easy to find that the place chosen by the other party was not chosen randomly. There is a shelter in front and a way to retreat, and the field of vision is quite wide, even if someone wants to lurk in front of them, it will be easy to be spotted.

After the bonfire was lit, ignoring the drooling expression of the little maid, who was also dressed as a woman and a man, looking at the steak, Wei Yan took out a silver needle and carefully inserted it on it. After confirming that there was no problem, I tested it in bread and water as well.

That's not all, in addition to using the silver needle, Wei Yan also got a little water, a little bread and a little steak, and put them in his mouth and tried them. In the end, it was confirmed that there was nothing wrong with these things, and there was nothing unclean.

While Wei Yan was doing these things, the two guys, one big and one small, dressed as men, took out the dough and jerky they brought with them and roasted them by the bonfire, and at the same time guarded the surrounding environment, and put two horizontal knives, one long and one short, within reach.

"Come, let's taste the difference between the food of other dignitaries and nobles." Looking at the actions of the two, Wei Yan nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the steak and bread that had been poked with many fine holes, and finished with a smile. I got a little bit of it and stuffed it into my mouth.

The taste of the fine white bread is not comparable to that of the coarse bread. As for the sirloin steak that is cooked to five or six medium rare, it is not comparable to the dried meat after it has been dried.

"Yes, yes, in the end, he is a wealthy nobleman, and he never gets tired of eating and being fine even when he goes out. The taste of this high-quality beef is better than the best dishes in the county's Chunfeng Pavilion, come, come and try it. After a bite of steak meat, Wei Yan shook his head and smiled.

"Aya (father), who are they?" He took the beef and bread from the maid. Wei Yuanxiang, dressed as a woman. He asked.

"Huh...... Didn't you say it, dignitaries? Picked up the gourd and took a sip, only to think that the water was very luscious, and said with a smile.

"Dignitaries? Ayer. Are they officials? "Wei Yuanxiang, who was just about to eat meat. I was stunned for a moment. Asked.

"Yes, it's an official, and it's not a petty official. If you guessed it right. It should be a great official with the emperor's order. Wei Yan, who tore off a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth, nodded and said.

"The Emperor's Order? Aye, how do you tell? Wei Yuanxiang, who was becoming more and more curious, asked.

"The knife in the man's hand has a strange shape, and it is not something ordinary people can have. No, it should be impossible for ordinary eunuchs to have it. Although he did not wear an official uniform, he was very particular about the materials. The point is that the other party has a token tied around his waist, an extraordinary token. ”

Moreover, this man is burly and strong, and there is a little bit of fierceness between his words and deeds, and at a glance he knows that he is from the military. But the smell of blood on this person's body has faded, if I guessed correctly, this person should be the personal guard next to those dignitaries. Wai Yan, who was eating bread and steak, explained.

"Tokens? Private guards? Could it be that they are running errands? Wei Yuanxiang, who figured out the trick, asked.

"That's right." Wei Yan nodded and said.

"And what are the ancient monsters around them?" Wei Yuanxiang, who thought of the black ancient monster body, asked.

"I don't know, I think it's probably a wooden ox and a horse that has been handed down from ancient times." Shaking his head, Wei Yan, who was also incomprehensible, guessed.

If Li Anran was present at this time, he would definitely be glad that he didn't stupidly think that those historical figures were "proteins" like those predecessors of the traversers. You think, such a person who lives in the lower echelons of the official system can see at a glance that the off-road vehicle is likely to be an organ such as a wooden ox and a flowing horse, and God knows what those high-ranking and powerful people can see.

After Li Anran finished lunch, he had enough rest. Without any further delay, after packing up his things, he drove the off-road vehicle towards the nearest county seat.

The official roads of the Tang Dynasty, although they are not as good as the highways of modern time and space, are much better than the previous mountain roads. With the increase in speed, after driving for two quarters of an hour, three familiar figures were found in the sight not far away.

Hearing the sound from behind, Wei Yan, who subconsciously turned around, suddenly changed his face when he saw that the black "Wooden Ox Flowing Horse" was approaching at a very fast speed.

"Elder Wei, meet again." In order to avoid misunderstanding, Li Anran, who just drove the car closer, pressed the window, stretched out his hand to say hello, and said hello.

"It turned out to be Li Langjun." When I saw someone actually poke his head out of the "Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse", with Wei Yan's experience mixed up in the past few decades, it was not easy to hold back and not lose his temper.

"Elder Wei, are you familiar with this county?" Li Anran, who was not clear about the situation before, and was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, did not ask the other party about the affairs of this county, and said with a smile while slowing down.

Wei Yan, who was barely able to control the horses under him and was not surprised by the "wooden ox flowing horse" beside him, asked Yan but breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The old man is the fast catcher in this Xiangyang City, if Li Langjun wants to go to the county office, the old man can just lead the way." It's just that I don't know if Lang Jun went to the county government ......"

While Li Anran felt the hidden vigilance under the other party's calm expression, he also found that the two were some distance behind, and the master and servant, who were also disguised as men, had already pressed their hands on the bag on the side of the horse at this time. It is estimated that if I don't answer correctly at this time, I am afraid that there will be a round of attacks.

"Look at me, I forgot to identify myself." Li Anran, who slapped his forehead, took advantage of the fact that the speed of the car had been reduced a lot, and at the same time, he stretched out his hand to Zhao Er on the side and said, "Erlang, token." ”

Zhao Er, who heard the order, neatly handed the token on his waist to his hand.

"Elder Wei, this is my token, and I am the observer of the Holy Majesty. However, the purpose of this trip is confidential, and I hope you will not make it public. Li Anran, who handed the token in his hand, said.

As the most famous and highest-status catcher in Xiangzhou, Shannan Province, Wei Yan can naturally tell at a glance whether the token in front of him is real or fake. The next one grabbed the horse under him and rolled over.

"Aye!" Wei Yuanxiang, who was originally deliberately lagging behind for a distance, hurriedly caught up and said.

"Don't panic, it's fine." Throwing a glance over, Wei Yan said.

At this time, Li Anran also stopped with a foot on the brake. thought that the token just now had not dispelled the other party's suspicions, so she asked Su Xiaomei to take out the holy decree that Li Shimin had prepared for a similar situation, and then opened the car door and jumped down.

"Xiangyang County, Shannan Province, has seen the observation envoy." After seeing someone come down from the "wooden ox and flowing horse" with the holy decree, Wei Yan immediately bowed and said.

"It turned out to be Wei Catch quickly, as for my identity, there is a holy decree here, I don't know if I want to check one or two?" Raising the holy decree in his hand, Li Anran said with a smile.

"Please observe the forgiveness of sins, and I am not yet qualified to examine the decree." After clasping his fists and saluting, Wei Yan, who straightened up, said with a wry smile.

The implication is that when you get to the county office, someone will naturally check it.

Li Anran understands the meaning of these words very well. However, this holy decree is not fake in the first place, so it is naturally not afraid of inspection. Seeing that I had a ready-made guide halfway through, I was a little depressed because of the broken road before, but I finally got better.

With Wei Yan, the head snake, acting as the "leading party", Li Anran's entry into the city will naturally be much easier. The only thing that was a little unhappy was that I found that my young master was always watched by the two Xibei goods, especially Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun, who were frequently watched by the big tomboy.

Even if it is difficult for the other party to intersect with his own young master, it is still inevitable to be a little cautious because of the nature of a woman. (To be continued......)
