The bright moon is in the sky, as bright as a silver plate.

The frost was rustling on the endless wilderness.

The cold moonlight and the light emitted by the cold frost were connected, making the heavens and the earth uninterrupted.

On a hillside in the distance, a wolf howled at the moon, and then a wolf howl came from farther away.

Other than that, only the sound of Zhu Bai's horses' hooves echoed in the moonlight like water.

The change in the color of the ground and the sound of horses' hooves on the ground allowed Zhu Bai to faintly perceive that they were passing through deserts, oases, and deserts.

Countless pairs of eyes in the night looked at this special group of people with curiosity or greed.

But when he saw that there were more than fifty of them, they all quietly retracted their heads again.

The horses are fast, there are many people, they are all strong men, and they cannot be provoked.

When the dawn dawned on the horizon, they arrived at the high platform.

There is only one hundred households stationed here.

Zhu Bai only said that they were merchants, and then rested in the sheltered place of Gaotai Station until the next day before setting off for Suzhou again.

Gaotai to Suzhou all the way to the desert, the brown sand and gravel in the sun white swaying very dazzling.

Only occasionally can you see a light shade of green on the ground, indicating that there may be grass here in the summer.

The herd of deer, grazing on the turf, was frightened away by the sound of horses' hooves, and then stopped to probe their brains in the distance.

Zhu Bai stopped and grinned at Zhang Yu: "Hit a few deer and bring them, so you don't have to gnaw dry at night." ”

Zhang Yu said: "Your Highness, this is a good idea. We-Chen......"

Zhu Bai interrupted him: "Uncle." You're calling it wrong. ”

Before they came out of the high platform, they said that before returning to Ganzhou, Zhang Yu and Zhu Bai were called uncles and nephews, and the others were the guards invited by their family.

Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment before he stubbornly said, "Got it." ”

Zhang Yu took a few people and dragged five deer back in less than half a pillar of incense, and then divided them into several pieces for everyone to carry on horseback, and continued to march towards Suzhou City.

The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.

The earthy yellow walls of Suzhou City turned vermilion in the bloody sun, giving Zhu Bai the illusion that he was not running to the remote Northwest Pass at this time, but returning to Emperor Ying's door, outside the city.

Family......

He never imagined that one day he would really make that palace his home, and he would miss it so much.

He thought he would covet the feeling of being unfettered and completely free as the wind blew through the wilderness.

Maybe I just miss the comfortable bed and my mother in the dormitory......

Zhu Bai blinked vigorously, as if he could get rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart.

The city walls of Suzhou were only used to keep out the wind and sand, so there were neither gates nor guards.

Zhu Bai and the others drove straight into the city and stopped in front of the largest inn in Suzhou City.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind, mixed with mud, sand and dust, obscured the sky and the sun, and people could not open their eyes.

Zhang Yu and Fugui subconsciously formed a circle, blocking the wind and sand, and surrounded Zhu Bai in the middle.

After the wind and sand passed, Zhu Bai caught a glimpse of a few men leading horses not far away, staring at them, and seeing that most of them were Mongols.

Tsk tsk. Sure enough, if you are not careful, you will be exposed.

Don't take it lightly for a moment.

Zhu Bai secretly smacked his lips and ran to the inn: "Ah, uncle, we can finally have a good meal." ”

Zhang Yu struggled to squeeze out a smile on his face: "But isn't it?" ”

Every time Zhu Bai called him "uncle", he felt that he was one step closer to the Hades Palace.

Zhu Baidong looked west.

Fugui shouted "Young Master slow down" in his mouth, walked to the counter and patted a silver ingot, and asked for two single rooms, one single room, and twelve four-person rooms.

The pro-army lieutenant gave the venison to the men to help cook it.

Zhu Bai leaned on the counter and said, "I want to eat roast venison, cumin fried venison." ”

Then he looked at Zhang Yu and motioned for him to cooperate with the performance.

Zhang Yu squeezed out a smile with difficulty: "Okay, good." The shopkeeper will help with it. ”

Everyone went up and rested for half an hour, and then came down to eat.

At the moment, the lobby is bustling, and there are people dressed in all kinds of clothes.

Some wore small white hats, some wore turbans, and some wore winged crowns.

At this time, the two groups of people were arguing, and everyone was blushing and obviously a little drunk.

A group of people are Han Chinese, one of whom is middle-aged and said: "Outside Jiayu Pass, it is not my land in China, and the people there are all barbarians. ”

Another group of people were obviously lustful, and a young man with brown hair and glassy eyes sneered: "Hehe, you frogs at the bottom of the well, think that there is only Da Ming in the world, and there is no other place." In addition to Confucianism, there is no other etiquette in the world. The etiquette of the Ming Dynasty is only suitable for the people of the Ming Dynasty. Why can't people in other countries follow their own rituals? Why do you have to be the same? ”

Zhu Bai's spirits perked: Roar, novelty. It's the first time I've heard such a profound discussion in the few years I've been here.

This is the collision of Eastern and Western cultures, and the discussion that really touches the feudal spirit.

This situation is only possible in the area where the three are not possible, and it is impossible to be in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, or out of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, in Lao Zhu's eyes, challenging Confucian etiquette is challenging imperial power, and it is to kill the head.

Zhang Yu pursed his lips and kept glancing at them, for fear that Zhu Bai would be angry when he heard it, and couldn't help but be angry and expose his identity.

Zhu Bai smiled and found a remote corner where he could hear the sound and see the whole picture, and sat down, and continued to listen to their discussion.

Zhang Yu and the others sighed secretly: I forgot, our "little Yama King" has never played cards according to common sense.

Although he is the prince and should be the most staunch defender of the imperial power, he can be calm and stay out of the excitement.

Zhu Bai raised his chin towards the seat next to him, suggesting that he was sitting next to him.

Zhang Yu secretly confessed to Zhu Bai in his heart before he dared to go over and sit down.

The others were amused by Zhang Yu's expression of chasing ducks to the shelves, and then silently sat down at the table outside Zhu Bai, a table of eight people, and formed a small circle.

A guy ran out to wipe the table and asked Zhang Yu, "What do you want to eat?" ”

This guy was only a few years older than Zhu Bai, and he was still half an old child.

With big eyes and long eyelashes, a high nose, and curly hair, he looks like a Uyghur.

Zhang Yu said: "We have venison, and we can just serve other staple foods and fruits and vegetables." ”

Zhu Bai asked; "What's your name?"

The guy said, "Master Hui, my name is Hadir." ”

The two groups over there are still in a heated discussion.

Han middle-aged man: "Only the Confucian etiquette of my Ming Dynasty is the orthodox etiquette that teaches the person who knows the book and is a normal person." The monkeys of my Ming Dynasty are more civilized than the barbarians. The people of the Yuan Dynasty were a model of barbarianism, feeding on human flesh, no different from jackals, tigers and leopards. ”

The young man with colored eyes: "Hehe, Da Mingjing is a self-contained, self-righteous fool like you." The beasts are wiser than you, and they know where there is food. ”
