Chapter 202: Hopeless
As soon as the words were spoken, Zhou Qi also felt that something was wrong.
The main reason is that in recent days, there have been a lot of visits to the green buildings in various counties, and they don't choose what to say.
The Seven Princesses also have a little understanding of this, although the words are different but the meaning is the same, she has always been noble, she was suddenly ashamed, scolded the disciple is not enough, completely disregarded the manners and picked up the wooden stick on the ground and knocked it at him......
was shaken by Zhou Qi's backhand: "The girl's family, pay attention to the image." ”
Hearing this, the seventh princess's face was so angry that she was red and white, and she pulled the wooden stick with all her might, but she was finally defeated.
"Dengzi, let me tell you, you remember it for me, I will definitely not let you go!"
Hearing her put down her cruel words, Zhou Qi still shrugged his shoulders senselessly, and the noodles had already been eaten, and after explaining to Liu Zhufang to clean up the boiler, he got into the carriage, this has to occupy a position first, right?
The Seven Princesses haven't finished eating the fruit yet, but they won't have any thoughts.
He threw the fruit down and kicked the stone twice, pouted and got into the carriage, and the maid guards immediately followed.
Da Liu and Zhu Fang cleaned up the scene, and when they saw that the guard was still sitting in the front room, they couldn't help but ask.
"Brother, you don't have to rest?"
It's been a night's journey, and the iron body can't stand it, right?
The two guards looked at each other and said, "No need! ”
Yes, Da Liu and Zhu Yi no longer talked to each other and squeezed in, but unfortunately they were driven out by Zhou Qi before they could sit down.
Seeing that the mountains and forests are full of cliffs and cliffs, and the mountain roads are difficult to walk, as a modern person, of course he knows the dangers of fatigue driving, but don't Xiju didn't arrive, and died first......
Along the way, although the carriage was crowded with panic.
But fortunately, the people in the carriage have rested, and if everyone is laid off in rotation, it is safer than the two guards to drive the horses.
The two guards were suddenly embarrassed, and they hesitated in place and were a little stunned.
Until the seventh princess snorted twice and said, "Come in." ”
Only then did the two of them give up the front room to Da Liu and Zhu Fang, and when they got in, they saw that the unknown man inside was much more pleasing to the eye.
One of the lame guards remained in the front room, pointing to the map and explaining: "This map has not been changed for many years, and the road it refers to has encountered a rockflow a few years ago, and there is a small path here but there are many poisonous insects, so we have to take a detour." ”
Zhu Fang nodded in understanding.
Da Liu said happily: "It's true! Then thank you brother! ”
The conversation between the people was clearly heard in the carriage......
The seventh princess raised her chin proudly and said, "Dengzi, I see that you are unfamiliar with life, if you don't have us to lead the way, I'm afraid you can only feed the insects!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhou Qi pursed his lips and nodded, his face full of sincerity: "What you said is right." ”
Hearing this, the Seventh Princess, who originally wanted to be grateful for a while, was like a fist hitting the cotton, and suddenly choked so much that she couldn't speak, snorted angrily, and glanced over.
The carriage continued on......
After the guard held on for a while, he finally crossed his arms and narrowed over, while the little maid was still serving someone.
I saw two little maids pouring out some water with a water bladder, and another person found toiletries from a small box, squeezed a touch of cyan paste, and respectfully handed it over: "Miss, please rinse." ”
The Seventh Princess raised her eyebrows and took something over.
The two little maids quickly pulled out a piece of five-foot silk and folded it in half, covering her, and soon the sound of washing came from inside.
A moment later, a Qianqianyu hand stretched out, and the little maid handed the water cup over again.
Zhou Qi leaned on the side of the car with his arms folded, looked at this operation coldly, and pulled the corners of his mouth a little playfully, but did not speak.
The curtain was lifted, and the Seventh Princess glanced in his direction, blushing a little but still arrogant.
"What do you see? Have you ever seen it? ”
Zhou Qi looked down at the little maid who washed the jade-handled toothbrush and then dried it with a handkerchief, and then put it away as if it was a baby, and then lifted the curtain and splashed the water in the water cup......
He shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.
Seeing that the people were silent again, the seventh princess couldn't stay idle, and took out the jade-handled toothbrush she had just put in, and she was proud.
"I see that although you are from Qizhou, you don't have this thing, right?"
"This is the latest model that I deliberately went around to the general store in Jinfeng County to buy, but not everyone can buy it, if you want to buy this thing, you need two senior members as a guarantee to buy it, and it is also limited, there are only these three handles in the world......"
After speaking, the seventh princess glanced at him, a little disdainful: "But you don't need to think about it, it's your blessing to meet here." ”
After saying this, Zhou Qi was still cold-eyed, his face was expressionless, and he even tilted his head directly and closed his eyes.
It's not that he doesn't want to communicate with her, but he really remembers the teachings of Governor Liu, and it is important to do the right thing less provokingly.
The seventh princess only thought that he was speechless, and sighed contentedly, so she began to pick up the small bronze mirror she carried with her and stroked her hair.
And at this time, Da Liu and Zhufang in front of the door laughed when they heard the conversation inside, as the people of the Zhou family, they naturally knew what industries their sons had handled, like the shops in Qizhou City, they had to go over to help from time to time.
But their own sons didn't mention it, and they didn't talk much, but drove the carriage with a thief's smile on their faces and rushed to the border.
A peaceful journey.
In less than half an afternoon, they had already crossed the mountains and forests, and further on, the border between the two countries.
Although Xiju was a friend of the Qian Dynasty, there were still heavy troops in the frontier areas.
However, for the Qian Dynasty, the force was insufficient, so it naturally placed important military forces in the east and north.
For example, a few hundred miles from Qizhou to the east in the direction of the salt pans is the Xuanhai Customs, mainly to fight against the Dongkou Kingdom on the other side of the coast and the Dahan tribe in the northeast.
Though......
It didn't work.
Otherwise, there would not be a situation where 30,000 iron horsemen could go directly to the interior of Qizhou.
Therefore, most of the soldiers of the Qian Dynasty stationed in the west were old and weak sergeants, and when they retired from the front line and returned home, they found that their wives and relatives had already started another family, and they were physically disabled again, and they probably had no way to make a living if they remarried, so they had no choice but to go to the barracks again.
But if they can go to the front again, it will not be able to be cut off, and they will be sent to this kind of friendly country junction to survive.
Zhou Qi lifted the curtain of the car, and at this time, he could still see many veterans helping each other to the bridge in groups of threes and twos, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
"It's a quiet place, but it's hopeless."
Hearing this, the Seventh Princess glanced at it, blinked her big eyes and asked, "How can you see it?" ”
If it was a woman next to him to ask, it would be fine, but Zhou Qi thought of her identity, and was willing to discuss it with her.
"They went to the battlefield although there was no meritorious service but really paid for the protection of the territory, not to mention that the family is not guaranteed after the army, and there is no subsidy after retiring, although they have picked up a cheap life but have lost their relatives and the future, they are disabled and even difficult to find a way to make a living, so they can only be assigned to this desolate place, although it is stable, but there is no hope and no desire, at a glance, they are buried in the soil, they have been in this world? Nobody remembers ......"
