Chapter 012: Li Zhuang Town
April is fragrant, dark fragrance fills the heart. Fragrant and fragrant, full of flowers.
Rao is the scenery on the road is unique, but the pedestrians in a hurry have no intention of appreciating, Dada's horse's hooves play a unique melody on the official road of the bluestone slab, crisp with urgency, all the way wild.
The wind in the running lifted the hair behind him, fluttering in the air, accompanied by a wisp of softness.
Coming out of Kyoto in the Tianxing Kingdom, Qingchen and Tianquan went non-stop, all the way to Yancheng in the north, because she promised Mu Qingjue two months, two months, Su Baohua's head, she must do it.
Except for a short rest when feeding the horses and preparing dry food, the rest of the time was spent on horses, and when I was really tired, I found a place on the spot, under a big tree, in a stone cave, or somewhere else, and took a short rest, and then continued on my journey.
Such a thing that consumes physical strength and essence is a little unbearable even for Tianquan, a man with strong martial arts, but Mu Qingchen, a frail woman who has just recovered from a serious injury, survived.
Along the way, Tianquan was deeply impressed by Mu Qingchen's heart and tenacity, and he sometimes even wondered how much energy was contained in Mu Qingchen's petite body, allowing her to do things that a big man could almost not do.
Along the way, everything Mu Qingchen showed, whether it was his skillful posture when feeding the horses, or his strong forbearance when he was on the road, or his calmness and calmness in the wilderness late at night, everything was not in line with the identity of a royal princess, and he was even more suitable than him, a person who had been trained.
"Tianquan, go find an inn, we'll stay here tonight. Qingchen grabbed the reins and let the horse stop at the entrance of a small town, so commanded.
The name of this town is Lizhuang Town, which is developed from the original Lijia Village, probably because there are many people with the surname Li, so it is called this name.
The town is not big, and most of the people in the town are simple farmers and small businessmen, but the inn and restaurant business in this town is surprisingly good, because Lizhuang Town is the only way for merchants from the south of the Tianxing Kingdom to Yancheng, and many caravans will choose to settle in Lizhuang Town for one night before going to Yancheng, and prepare all the grain and grass before traveling.
"Yes, Childe, please wait. Tianquan nodded, dismounted, and walked forward.
Qingchen also got off the horse and walked slowly behind, looking at the street that was not very wide, and the small stalls and vendors on both sides of the street, residential households, or small grocery stores, although the town was small, but it looked prosperous.
Because there are a lot of businessmen coming and going in Lizhuang Town, most of the people here are very hospitable, and they won't feel strange when they see the living, but when everyone sees Qingchen, they still can't help but look at her a few more times, after all, in the whole town, no one has a silver mask on his face.
Obviously accustomed to the gaze of the crowd, Qingchen didn't care about the gaze cast by everyone, his eyes swept from left to right, taking everything in front of him into his eyes, and he already had an understanding of the general situation of this town in his heart.
Li Zhuang Town is not big, so it was only a short time to walk from the street to the end of the street, and it didn't take long for Tianquan to appear in front of Qingchen again and said:
"Childe, there is a Tianfeng Inn in front, which is said to be the best inn in Lizhuang Town, and the subordinates have already booked a room, please move. ”
"Let's go. Qingchen nodded, said, and then went to the legendary Tianfeng Inn with the best environment.
Qingchen handed over the horses to the shopkeeper to feed the grass, and then led himself and Tianquan upstairs by the shopkeeper and entered the two adjacent rooms.
With the flowers outside, Qingchen naturally doesn't have to worry, Mu Qingjue probably gave Tianquan enough money, the purpose is to take care of her on the road, it seems that Mu Qingjue still cares about this sister in his heart. It's a pity that she is not the real Mu Qingchen.
The room booked by Tianquan is the Tianzi room of Tianfeng Inn, which can be regarded as the best room in this town. Qingchen was indeed a little tired after driving for such a long time, but the reason why these tiredness was not shown in front of Tianquan was only because if she wanted Tianquan to truly obey her, she could only use this way.
"Guest, you want hot water. Qingchen was sitting on the chair, thinking about things, when he heard Xiao Er's voice outside.
Qingchen opened the door and asked the little second to bring hot water in, then closed the door, washed up briefly, and lay on the bed, closing his eyes and recuperating.
She and the night of the death of a few of them made an appointment to meet in this town, according to their speed, calculate the time, it is almost time to come, at the latest tomorrow, the night of the night they can reach Lizhuang Town, within three days, they can rush to Yancheng.
As long as Su Baohua is solved and Yancheng is controlled in the hands of Mu Qingjue, then the Heavenly Star Kingdom does not have to be afraid of Mobei suddenly attacking Yancheng, causing a flanking attack on both sides, so that the Heavenly Star Kingdom is overwhelmed. At that time, she could also return to Kyoto in the Celestial Star Country with peace of mind, arrange everything, and then concentrate on dealing with Ning Yue.
At this time, Qingchen didn't know that Xiao Ling had fled from the Ningyue Country, and what she didn't know was that in the near future, there was still a disaster waiting for her.
If she had the ability to be an unpredictable prophet, she probably wouldn't have let herself choose such a path, or maybe at the beginning, she wouldn't have chosen to become Ye Tingcheng in the eyes of everyone, but just an ordinary woman, marrying her beloved, washing her hands, making soup, weaving brocade, and loving her.
Qingchen was woken up by a knock on the door, when she woke up, looking at the sky outside, it was evening, she didn't know when she fell asleep, probably because of her frail body, and she was seriously injured and just recovered, and she was really unbearable under so many days of running around.
opened the door, but saw Tianquan standing outside the door: "Childe, dinner is ready, let's go downstairs to eat." ”
Qingchen nodded, walked out of the door, closed the door smoothly, and then followed Tianquan downstairs. But in the hall on the first floor of the inn, a table of meals had been prepared, which were very sumptuous, and they were all her favorite dishes.
Glancing at Tianquan in some surprise, Qingchen didn't say anything, just sat down at the table very naturally, beckoning Tianquan to eat together: "You can also sit down and eat together." ”
"Childe, this is not in order. Tianquan was stunned for a moment and refused.
"When you go out, why do you have so many rules? We have been on the road for days, and you haven't rested well, so hurry up and go back to your room to rest, and you will continue to rush tomorrow. Qingchen said very indifferently, there was no princess shelf at all, which made Tianquan even more surprised.
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your orders. Tianquan did not refuse Qingchen's request again, so he sat down and ate at the same table with Qingchen.
Qingchen's face was covered by a mask, and he couldn't see the expression on his face at all, but Tianquan could imagine that Qingchen at this time must have a calm expression, a clear look in his eyes, eating quietly and quietly, maybe thinking about things in his mind, but it was definitely not the love of children and daughters that ordinary women think.
"Tianquan, after eating in a while, I will go out, and you will stay at the inn and wait for me. Qingchen suddenly spoke.
"Where is Childe going? The master has instructed that his subordinates must not leave Childe for half a step, and must always protect Childe's safety. Tianquan said, speaking again, "So Childe ......"
And before Tianquan finished the second half of his sentence, he choked in his throat and lost his words.
Because he saw that the chopsticks in Qingchen's hand were against his neck, and a faint pain hit him, letting him know that the place where Qingchen attacked was the most vulnerable place in the entire neck, and he was a killer, so he naturally knew what it meant. As long as Qingchen's hand moved forward a little more, he would die in Huangquan.
Tianquan has been by Mu Qingjue's side for many years, and he has never missed a hand in protecting Mu Qingjue, and his martial arts are also the highest among Mu Qingjue's three henchmen, but this time, he didn't even see how Qingchen made a move, and he had already sent his death door into the hands of the other party.
"Do you need me to say more?" asked Qingchen's cold voice without a hint of warmth.
"The subordinates obeyed. Tianquan nodded and agreed.
Qingchen took back the chopsticks in his hand, took another pair of clean ones from the chopstick holder on the table, and continued to eat.
She told Tianquan that she couldn't be the only two of them when she went to Yancheng, and she also said that she had found a helper, but who the helper was, what his identity was, and what he was capable of, she definitely didn't want Tianquan to know. Because once Tianquan knows, then Mu Qingjue will definitely know that then Xingxinglou can't exist in this world with a low-key attitude of escapism in the past.
Therefore, she didn't want Tianquan to follow her all the time, because what she let Mu Qingjue know, just because she wanted Tianquan to know. If she didn't want to, no one could know anything from her.
After eating, Tianquan obeyed Qingchen's order to go back to the room, and he didn't plan to secretly follow Qingchen behind him to leave the inn together, after all, he can't see Qingchen's martial arts at the moment, but he knows that he can hold his life with one move without him seeing clearly, this kind of skill is really not to be underestimated.
Qingchen's ability convinced him, and Qingchen didn't always guard against him, he knew Qingchen's ability in his heart, and he didn't want to get any news from Qingchen in the future, so he could only go according to Qingchen's arrangement.
And after Mu Qingchen left the inn, without hesitation, she went directly to the remote place of the backing mountain of Lizhuang Town, because she knew that if they came at night, they would definitely not appear in front of everyone blatantly, but would only appear in a remote and deserted place for concealment.
The inn is obviously not a good place to meet, and besides, there is a heavenly power, and it is not convenient to talk, so she only needs to find the most remote place in Lizhuang Town and wait for them to appear in the night.
The sky in the north was already darker than in the south, so at this time, it was already twilight, and the surrounding scenery was a little faintly invisible.
The wind was blowing, and the night in the north was still very cold, but Qingchen didn't care, and the pace under his feet did not stop, and he went straight to his destination.
