040 This princess can bend and stretch, and she can sleep anywhere!
There are four states in the north of Jokhang, Liangzhou, Quzhou, Liaozhou, and Yanzhou.
Among them, Liangzhou is the most difficult, Yanzhou is the northernmost, and Qi Xiao's hometown Hanyuguan is outside Yanzhou City.
To be honest, even Qi Xiao didn't expect the team to run to the Northland within seven days and rest all night before entering Liangzhou.
After all, the Imperial Forest Army and the 800 elite soldiers of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing can march in a hurry, and he and his men can march in a hurry, but what about those high-ranking officials and imperial doctors who stay in Beijing all the year round, and Princess Zhaoming, who is the most delicate in the team?
Qi Xiao's positioning of them is very simple, he doesn't ask them to march in a hurry, he just asks them not to slow down the original speed of the team.
As a result, as soon as his request was put forward, he was ruthlessly opposed by Feng Xi.
"Running so slowly, are you going to disaster relief or collecting corpses?"
Qi Xiao: "......"
was stunned by Feng Xi like this, and originally wanted to say that the speed was a little fast, but the other officials who could not be slower suddenly shut up obediently.
In this way, the disaster relief team in charge of the princess has never stayed in a hotel since she left Beijing, whether it is a princess or a soldier, there is a sleeping carriage with a carriage, and a sleeping shack without a carriage, and they have arrived at their destination three or five days earlier than originally planned.
"Oops, hey, hey, slow down, slow down, my old waist......"
"Quick, help Lord Ben to lie down in the house, the bones of this day are about to fall apart."
"I can get a good night's sleep tonight, when did I not have to rest for two or three hours before I had to leave again?"
β¦β¦
In the small square in front of the post station, the officials and doctors who got off the carriage were all as white as paper, and those who were in worse condition were supported by their own little people, and some of them still had a little strength to chat with their colleagues.
"Lao Lin, who do you think our emperor will send to provide disaster relief? Is Princess Zhaoming really good? We haven't entered the Northland yet, and Elder Li Ge and the Judgment of the Historical Yuan are about to turn her upside down......"
Liu Wanshi, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, quietly pulled Lin Qiandao, the waiter of the Ministry of Households.
The two of them are fellow scholars, and their relationship is already good, and it just so happens that the imperial examination was still the main examination of the old Guogong Xie Boyuan that year, so they are also considered to be the protΓ©gΓ©s of the old Guogong.
They also know that the emperor chose them this time, in addition to valuing their abilities, I am afraid there is also a reason for this relationship.
After all, no matter what Zhaoming says, she is also the granddaughter of their teacher, if they don't help her well, let alone her career, I am afraid that her reputation after returning to Beijing will stink.
"Who's to say it isn't? Before we left, my colleagues congratulated each other, saying that we had received a good deal. But who doesn't know that Princess Zhaoming is a showman, and this time she just blocked the way of the crown prince and the fourth prince? β
Lin Qian, the head of the household department, sneered while directing people to count the supplies.
Yes, such an errand that even the crown prince and the fourth prince have to rob, if they follow Princess Zhaoming to do it, it will be half a foot on the position of Shangshu, and the future is limitless.
But no matter how infinite the future is, it must also have a life to enjoy!
"Hey......"
Liu Wanshi lowered his head and sighed, so what can he do?
They are honest people who were born in the imperial examination, have a shallow foundation, and are not willing to stand in line, but how the emperor arranges it, what do they have to do?
"But you don't have to be depressed, the princess's body and bones may be worse than Li Ge's old ones."
Lin Qian gestured with his eyes to the largest carriage over there, and his tone was a rare teasing.
It's not, Princess Zhaoming has been hiding in the car almost every day during the days when she was on the road, and she hasn't come down yet.
Not only Liu Wanshi and Lin Qian were looking over there, but even a few imperial doctors were not in a hurry to enter the post station, for fear that they would sit down and rest on their front feet, and the princess would come to call someone on their back feet.
Such a pampered princess, it's no wonder that these days can be better!
They even suspected that the other party had wanted to slow down for a long time, but they didn't dare to say it because of their faces.
Just like now, it must be that they are afraid that they will see her embarrassment, so they refuse to get out of the car.
And when Qi Xiao, who was dressed in a dark robe, jumped out of the carriage and stood in front of the carriage with a complicated face, the officials watching the excitement were more sure of what they thought in their hearts.
Look, look, princess, she's really strong~
As a result, they saw Qi Xiao rubbing his eyebrows, and his sharp and cold facial features softened and smiled:
"Feng Xi, are you sure you don't want to spend the night in the post station?"
"Don't!"
The girl in the car cut the railway:
"It's just one night, why do you have to climb up and down? Is it uncomfortable in the carriage? Or is Hongu idle and has nothing to do? β
Qi Xiao was moved with affection:
"But it's cold in the carriage."
Feng Xi Xiaozhi reasoned:
"Hongu is not afraid of the cold."
Qi Xiao: "......"
God knows, Princess Zhaoming, who was originally pampered and couldn't even bear the slightest hardship, now wants to continue sleeping in the carriage outside because she is afraid of trouble......
If it was in Shengjing, Qi Xiao would have gone by her, but they were in the north, and they didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at them.
"Tomorrow we will enter Liangzhou City, and tonight I will arrange for someone to clean up all the carriages, including yours. Feng Xi, didn't you say that you would listen to me? β
Feng Xi in the carriage tilted his head:
"Is there one? If there is, let's withdraw it. β
Qi Xiao: "......"
The crowd watching the excitement around sneered, feeling that a certain princess was afraid that she couldn't move upside down, and when she was messing around and asking Qi Xiao to hug her, Qi Xiao no longer comforted Feng Xi, and turned to Qin on the side and said:
"Except for a few adults and the imperial doctor, everyone else camped around the princess's carriage and swore to protect the princess's safety."
Feng Xi, who was paralyzed in the car like a salted fish, wished he could stay outside as a target: "......"
So, before Qi Xiao had taken a few steps, the girl in the moon-white brocade skirt wore a maple cloak, and the whole person got off the carriage refreshed.
"How's that going to work? This palace is for the country and the people, Corporal Lixian, how can he involve other people because he wants to sleep in the carriage, so that they can't have a good rest? Where are the rooms in the main palace? Lead the way! β
As he spoke, he trotted to catch up with Qi Xiao, in stark contrast to the adults who were limping on the side.
The sharp-eyed doctor knew at a glance that she was not only not upside down, but also ruddy and rested quite well.
Officials: "? β
Aren't we in the same way?
Feng Xi naturally didn't know what they thought, and she didn't care, she just felt that the post room seemed to be more suitable for the enemy than the carriage surrounded by a group of soldiers.
After all, there was such a small position outside the room, and Qi Xiao asked two big men to guard the door for her.
Of course, with Qi Xiao's cautiousness, there will definitely be a large number of defenders outside the post station, but compared to being directly surrounded in the center of the defenders, the maneuverable space inside the post station is larger.
With this thought, Feng Xi ate and washed up very early, and then lay quietly on her bed.
As she expected, at three o'clock, the fire outside the house was soaring, and the defenders who were originally in order under Qi Xiao quickly became chaotic.
