Chapter 15: The Journey
The preparations for going to Pali were more complicated than Sinampe had imagined, as it was not only Theresa and her attendants who traveled, but also a large number of nobles, craftsmen, and ...... The most important soldiers. It can be said that Theresa is not the protagonist of this team this time, the army is, and today's autumn harvest is abundant, even if the weather is unusually cold, the Caredonian side is likely to launch a new offensive, especially in the relatively warm south.
After Si Nanpei's calculations, the number of people who traveled this time was 3,217
Hundreds of people with dozens of cartloads of belongings gathered in the town of Aliai, and the momentum was so great that it looked like it was comparable to the king's procession.
Sinampe did not ride in the same car with Theresa this time, but sat with his assistant, Abel - this is understandable, if Sinampe sits with Theresa again, is this misunderstood?!
Before leaving, Theresa once again took Sinampe to visit the old man Clement and Master de Rice, the old man did not say anything more, but smiled and blessed the two, and de Rice looked at Sinampe with a smile again and handed him a letter.
"What is this?" Trisa covered her mouth in surprise at the sight of the gilded envelope.
"Shhhh De Les looked up for a moment and said, "You can keep him before you get to Pali." ”
"Hey, Master de Rice, you can't treat me like this!" Si Nanpei muttered dissatisfiedly: "I don't have to read it, but you have to tell me who this letter is for, and what is the use of it, right?
"A little patience, young man. After saying that, he conjured a cloth bag out of thin air and handed it to Theresa, "This is a small toy, even if it is a gift from the pair of ruby earrings you gave me last time, I believe it will be useful to you." ”
Theresa accepted it without being polite: "Thank you so much, Master de Rice. ”
"Alright, I'm done with what I'm going to explain, you two don't bother me here anymore!" he waved his hand, and the two of them instantly appeared in the square of Aliai Town.
"This ...... Is it magic?" This time, Sinampei, who had personally experienced this magical feeling, exclaimed, "Teleportation?" The mysterious power that subverts common sense always has great charm.
"Hmph, it's just a little trick, look at what scares you. Theresa waved her hand and took a step, "Let's go, my butler, I'm about to go." ”
"Your Highness, what did the old man give you?" Si Nanpei looked at the cloth bag hanging from Theresa's waist and couldn't help but ask. He had read many fantasy novels on Earth, and subconsciously guessed whether it was some kind of magic prop, such as a broomstick, a magic ring, and the like.
"There's nothing magical about it, it's just some jelly beans that can transform into other people in an hour. There is no use other than sneaking out of the palace. Theresa pouted, "I haven't eaten less before, and the novelty has long passed."
Si Nanpei's eyes are about to protrude, this is still useless?!If it was left on the earth, this kind of thing would have been snapped up by celebrities or intelligence agencies of various countries! Swallowing with difficulty, Si Nanpei could only sigh that Bai Fumei was Bai Fumei, holding a handful of good things that ordinary ** silk begged for a lifetime but couldn't get it, but he still didn't care.
By the time the two of them returned to the convoy, the final preparations had been completed, and the rich landowners had almost looted the supplies in the town of Aliai, and the jerky alone was two tons, and the only comparable thing was Theresa's clothes, which hit a full three-horse cart...... Ahem, this is purely Sinan Pei's complaint.
As the bearded Trian commanded sounded, the team began to depart. From beginning to end, the carriages began to turn their wheels in turn.
Lying in the carriage with simple springs, Sinampei was finally able to take a break. It's been exhausting enough for him.
"It's not easy to be a successful person. After two more sighs, Sinan Pei fell asleep in the carriage.
The convoy set out at 9 a.m. and traveled north along the main road trodden by the caravanserais, passing through the vast Central Province before reaching Pali in the north.
Since all the way is the hinterland of the kingdom and is not in the war zone, the journey is quite easy, but the clouds of war have already weighed on the attachés at the bottom.
The party was too large to be accommodated by the small towns along the way, and such a large group was not afraid of wild beasts, so the Earl of Trian, who was good at marching, ordered to camp in the wilderness.
Sinampe was woken up by Abel while camping in the evening, the bonfire had been lit, and he ran to the front with an empty stomach to have dinner with Theresa.
"Your Highness, do you look so unmotivated?" Seeing Theresa sitting on the carpet, her chin in her hands, looking listless, Sinan Pei asked with a smile.
Unlike Sinampei, who slept all day, Theresa, who had been bumpy in the car for a day, was extremely tired at the moment, after all, she was just a little girl, she had been pampered since she was a child, and it was normal for her to be tired when she suddenly followed the team for such a long way.
"Si, you're quite energetic. Theresa puffed out her cheeks and said weakly, "Are you all so good at long journeys?"
"It's not like that, it's just ...... I just slept all day today. Sinan Pei laughed.
"Sleep? That's a good idea, but I usually go to bed early to take care of my skin, and I can't sleep at all during the day!"
There is nothing Si Nanpei can do to solve this kind of little girl's troubles, he can only shrug his shoulders, saying that he can't do anything, and by the way, ask her if she wants to eat the Chinese food he made.
"I don't want to eat, I don't want to eat anything, my stomach is very upset. Teresa disregarded her image and collapsed on the carpet, "Just have some jam and bread in the evening." ”
Sinampei nodded, and was about to give the order, but found that Kara had already gone to make arrangements. Scratching his head and realizing that he had overstepped his bounds, Sinampei stopped talking about it and lay down next to Theresa.
Theresa got up and put her head on Sinampei's side: "Hey, unreasonable person, who allowed you to lie down next to me?" (ps: My dog is dead, I'm still very sad, I can't let it go...... )
