Chapter 123: Joints
On the second day, the team departed.
Take the official road from Dingyang City, if you keep hurrying, you can stay in the town for one night when it is dark, and if you rush again the next day, you can reach Licheng after noon.
Yue Hanzhang's subordinate Li Bida observed the surrounding terrain, and was about to turn onto another fork in the road when Gu Mingzhu lifted the curtain: "General Li."
Li Bida turned around and stepped forward: "What's the matter?"
Gu Mingzhu said in a low voice, "Her Royal Highness the princess is unwell and dizzy, and I want the doctor to see what is going on."
Li Bida didn't doubt that he had him, but he didn't bring a doctor with him, thought for a while, and said, "The princess's jade body is important, and she will be able to go to Licheng in half an hour, and she will find a doctor in the city to see the disease."
Gu Mingzhu nodded in thanks, "Thank you, General Li."
The curtain was about to be lowered, and when he noticed the gaze cast by Zhou Yuanshu not far away, Gu Mingzhu's eyes cooled a little, and he covered the light outside as if nothing happened.
Zhou Yan whispered, "Sister."
Gu Mingzhu patted the back of her hand comfortingly: "It's okay, rest assured, we just have a meal in Licheng."
Zhou Yan didn't know her plans, nodded obediently, and Gu Mingzhu said again: "When you arrive in Licheng, you pretend to have a bad appetite, and you want to eat fresh dishes in the west of the city, it's best to go to the store to eat, do you know?"
Zhou Yan nodded: "It's simple, I see that Li Bida is quite respectful to me, and Zhou Yuanshu hasn't been a moth along the way, so it's no problem to eat a meal."
Gu Mingzhu nodded and said, "You are responsible for eating."
At noon, the team finally stepped into Licheng.
The team settled in an ordinary inn, and after cleaning up, Li Bida invited a doctor to give Zhou Yan a pulse.
Zhou Yan is naturally not sick.
Gu Mingzhu stood beside him, blocking most of his sight, and handed over a silver ticket.
These are all the belongings that Zhou Yan brought from the Qin State, and they were exchanged for a silver ticket from the Li State on the way to make it easy to carry.
The doctor was stunned, took the silver ticket and stuffed it into his sleeve with a calm face, and asked Zhou Yan, "Girl, do you feel pain in your body?"
Zhou Yan said: "It doesn't hurt, it's just nausea and dizziness."
As soon as the doctor thought about it, he didn't say hello, what kind of disease should he diagnose?
Zhou Yan waited for a while, and said in a weak voice, "I just suddenly want to eat something delicious, that's how I was cured when I was nauseous before."
The doctor was about to think about answering, the person on the side stretched out a hand, and hurriedly glanced at it, and the doctor smiled suddenly: "I think it's a disease of water and soil adaptation, since the girl has a precedent, then the old man has the courage to introduce the girl to our Yipinxian Restaurant in Licheng, where Chef Guan cooks food that even General Yue can praise in person."
Zhou Yan's eyebrows bent: "Doctor Lao bothered."
Zhou Yuanshu stepped forward and said, "I ordered someone to bring the food, what do you want to eat?"
He was asking Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's face was a little colder, and he didn't look at him: "Don't be so troublesome, the food is still delicious just out of the fire, and it's not far away, it's too boring to take a car on the way, I just want to take a walk."
Zhou Yuanshu listened to her implicit explanation, and seemed to sense the change in her attitude, and smiled slightly: "It's okay, I'll be with you for a while." ….
Zhou Yan pursed his lips, but he still didn't say anything after all.
Zhou Yuanshu went to inform Li Bida, and Li Bida said in his heart that it was just a meal, and there would be no trouble, so he brought a few personal soldiers to follow.
A group of nine people stopped at the door of Yipin Xian Restaurant after a while.
It was early to eat, and there were only a few tables of guests sitting in the hall.
As soon as he saw so many people coming, he immediately came forward to greet him: "A few guest officers, please."
A few people went up to the second floor and found a place with few people to sit down, Li Bida said, "Pick up your good food and bring it up, and then make a pot of tea."
"Okay."
As July approaches, the weather is already getting hot.
Xiao Er's tea was served quickly, and after a while, the meal was also served, Gu Mingzhu followed and ate a few bites and went to scoop the soup
, the spoon did not hold steadily, and suddenly fell to the ground, shattering into two pieces.
Gu Mingzhu was annoyed: "Clumsy ...... I'll go get a new one, and by the way, let the kitchen make two snacks, and give the princess a meal on the way to relieve her boredom."
Li Bida hooked his hand and said, "Go and follow the girl alone."
Gu Mingzhu took the broken soup spoon, walked downstairs, and found the little servant on the first floor and said, "Excuse me, get a new spoon."
Runtang immediately hurried to the back kitchen to get a spoon.
As soon as he left, Gu Mingzhu pointed to the food list on the side and said, "I forgot to ask the princess what snacks he wants to eat, I will drive this military master up and ask, I will go to the back kitchen to get a spoon and come back."
She didn't give the soldiers room to refuse, and the men followed them over the threshold and went after them.
The soldier was in a dilemma, and saw her go to the back kitchen with his own eyes, so he went upstairs with the food list and asked.
"Why are you alone? What about Miss Gu?" Li Bida was surprised to see that he was the only one who came up.
The soldier bowed his head: "She went to the back kitchen to get a spoon, let me ask the princess what kind of dim sum she wants to eat."
Li Bida's pupils sank slightly: "I'll let you follow her!" That's how you followed?"
He stood up suddenly, but Zhou Yan frowned and said, "What is General Li doing in such a big anger, she just went to get a spoon, and it's not that she won't come back."
Li Bida didn't listen to her, got up and went downstairs, just stepped on the threshold of the back kitchen, collided with a person head-on, and the sound of porcelain breaking came from the ground.
Gu Mingzhu sighed and looked at the spoon that was shattered, and looked at Li Bida with a little complaint: "General Li, this is the new spoon I just exchanged, so you broke it again recklessly......
Li Bida took a step back, glanced at her, and then said, "I'm sorry, I asked Xiao Er to come with a new one, and in the future, I don't need the girl to run these things herself, just send my subordinates to do it."
Gu Mingzhu smiled lightly: "It's okay, it's idle anyway."
Li Bida was noncommittal and personally took her back to the second floor.
The rest of the meal was eaten peacefully.
Before leaving, Li Bida sent the soldiers to urge snacks, and the soldiers just took a step, and then a young man came out of the face, holding two packets of snacks in his hand, and said with a smile: "You have been waiting for a long time, the bean flour cake and chestnut cake you want are all freshly made, and if you like it, remember to come often."
Guan Pinggui took two steps, deliberately handed the things to Gu Mingzhu in person, and sent the guests off with a calm face: "Everyone go slowly."
Gu Mingzhu carried the pastries and returned to the inn.
Zhou Yan didn't know what Gu Mingzhu had done in the back kitchen for a short time today, and thought that she was not a person who did useless work, so after the surroundings were quiet, he whispered, "Sister, is it going well today?"
Gu Mingzhu nodded: "Smooth."
One by one, she looked at the chestnut cakes.
Zhou Yan said, "Then what should I do next?"
"Wait." Gu Mingzhu replied, his eyes fell on the last piece of chestnut cake, and then he broke it open, and there was a small note hidden inside.
Zhou Yan stepped forward in surprise, and Gu Mingzhu opened the note, and only two words were written on it.
It has been passed on.
