On an official road in the east of the Northern Qi Kingdom, Lin Xiuwen walked quietly with the fat tiger. At this moment, Lin Xiuwen's state of mind could no longer keep up with his cultivation, and he had to slow down the pace of cultivation.

Knowing that it was not suitable to go to that valley at this time, he simply didn't care about anything, and just regarded himself as a mortal.

After the catastrophe, the fat tiger can already speak. Lin Xiuwen found that he was lazy and knew to sleep all day long. After walking this way, there was not even anyone to talk to, and Lin Xiuwen felt a little bored.

At this moment, a horse roared and a convoy appeared behind the official road, gradually approaching him.

"Hey, the people in front of you give way, let go of it. The first one was a big man on horseback, and he shouted at Lin Xiuwen.

It seems that not every mortal is as heroic as Long Xing, Lin Xiuwen shook his head and stepped aside.

"Brother Zhao, what's wrong?" a pleasant girl came out of the carriage behind.

"Miss, he's a nerd, demented, don't say it, he's really good-looking!" the big man surnamed Li hadn't yet spoken, and the woman sitting outside the carriage hurriedly replied. Listening to her tone, it was obvious that she was the personal maid of the woman in the carriage.

"Xiaocui, you ask him, where is he going? If you stop by the way, we will take him for a ride. The woman in the carriage said to her maid, Xiaocui.

"Okay, okay, Miss is good at everything, it's just too kind-hearted, otherwise you won't be bullied by those guys......" Xiao Cui was obviously a stubble, babbling non-stop.

"Emily. The woman in the carriage shouted, apparently not wanting her to say any more.

"Okay, Xiaocui, I don't say anything, I don't know anything. At this time, the convoy had stopped, Xiao Cui stepped out of the carriage, walked in front of Lin Xiuwen with small steps, and asked with a smile: "Nerd, where are you going?"

"Go to the city ahead, Xiaosheng has been walking for a long time, and I haven't met anyone on this road, and I don't know where I am now, I just want to go to the nearest city, I don't know if you can tell me?" Lin Xiuwen had already entered the role of a mortal at this time, as if he was a real scholar.

"Nerd, you definitely don't know how to ride a horse, do you?" he asked Lin Xiuwen, but before he could speak, he continued: "Get into the carriage behind, our young lady is kind and willing to take you for a ride." ”

"Thank you, young lady, and help me bring a good message to your young lady, thank you!" Lin Xiuwen thanked her, and did not forget to let her thank her young lady.

During the years when Yan participated in the imperial examination, Lin Xiuwen had already learned that the feudal etiquette of Yan was still very heavy, and presumably the Northern Qi State and the Southern Chu State were similar.

In such a country that also pays attention to three obedience and four virtues, women who have not been out of the cabinet cannot meet strange men casually.

"Miss, Miss, it's a lost nerd, hee-hee, I let him get into the carriage behind. Xiao Cuixing hurriedly ran back to report to her young lady, it seemed that she was very happy to see Lin Xiuwen lost.

"Hmm," the woman replied coldly, her voice seemed to be sad, and she sounded a little depressed.

"No, the carriage behind, hurry up," the man surnamed Zhao urged Lin Xiuwen.

Lin Xiuwen walked dozens of steps forward and got into the carriage. It is said to be a horse-drawn carriage, but it is actually a horse-drawn wagon, referred to as a horse-drawn carriage. The transportation power of several surrounding countries seems to be horse-drawn carriages, and Lin Xiuwen has never seen other transportation power methods. The things under his body were not unscrupulous, he touched them with his hands without a trace, it should be cloth and other goods.

"Drive, drive," the sound of horses sounded, and the convoy hit the road again.

"Miss, Miss, are all the scholars in the world so stupid and stupid?" Xiaocui obviously has a good relationship with her young lady, and she seems to be very relaxed and happy when she speaks. It is not as dull and restrained as many maids from high-ranking families.

"Where are people stupid and stupid, maybe they are dedicated to learning! That's why they are indifferent to other things, which makes you feel stupid. The young lady in the carriage excused Lin Xiuwen and explained to Xiaocui.

"Hehe, he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, how can he be very knowledgeable? It must be because of that talented man named Lin Xiuwen that you said this. The maid Xiaocui had been with her for a long time, obviously knowing a lot of inside information, and joked to her young lady.

The young lady in the carriage heard Xiao Cui's joke, but she didn't refute it, and sighed faintly after a while: "I don't know what kind of person he is?"

After a pause, the young lady continued: "In the future, the trade route of Yan Kingdom will not be wanted." ”

"Why, miss, isn't this business doing well?" asked Xiao Cui strangely.

"Didn't you find that you were all refugees all the way?" said the young lady in a cold voice with pity.

"Yes, miss, Xiaocui also found out, there are victims all the way, and I don't know what happened to Yan Kingdom. Xiao Cui was enlightened.

At this time, the young lady did not speak again, but sighed softly. Xiao Cui also seemed to look a little depressed, and stopped talking.

Although the two talked for a long time, it was only a whisper, and only Lin Xiuwen could hear it. When he heard Xiao Cui mention the name Lin Xiuwen, his heart jumped.

"I don't think it's me. Lin Xiuwen said to himself.

"Little brother, what are you talking about?" A young man next to him seemed to think that Lin Xiuwen was talking to him.

"Brother, where are you going?" Lin Xiuwen took the initiative to ask when he saw that someone took the initiative to take care of himself.

"Eastern Wilderness City, a large city in the eastern border of Northern Qi, we are the people of Eastern Wilderness City, this is just coming back from Yan Kingdom. Seeing that Lin Xiuwen looked like a weak scholar, the young man did not guard against him and explained to him.

Lin Xiuwen nodded clearly, and asked, "Under Lin Xiuwen, didn't you ask Brother Ren's surname?"

"Don't dare, my name is He Wu, and I have the same surname as Miss. He Wu seemed to be a little proud in his expression, it seemed that this woman's family was not ordinary.

Lin Xiuwen nodded, the big family of the high-ranking family will raise some children, it seems that He Wu is this kind of person. I wanted to ask him what the name of his young lady was, but after thinking about it, it was a bit rude, and maybe it would offend this group of people, so I secretly sighed in my heart that it was not easy to travel outside, so I gave up this question.

"It's not a secret, I am from Yan and not from Northern Qi. I don't have a little understanding of the Northern Qi Kingdom, can I please ask Brother He to introduce this Northern Qi to me?" It happened that Lin Xiuwen wanted to find someone to understand the Northern Qi Kingdom, so he changed the topic and asked He Wu directly.

"Oh, this matter, it's actually not a big deal, but this is the first time I've gone far away, and I don't know much about it, so you have to ask Uncle Zhao about it. He Wu was obviously the kind of person who was more upright, and he directly rejected Lin Xiuwen.

"Thank you!" Lin Xiuwen thanked him.

"No, no, I didn't help you much, I want to thank our young lady, if she hadn't taken you in, you would have to spend the night alone in the wilderness tonight." He Wu obviously admired and admired his young lady, and there was no sense of protection for her when he spoke.

As the sun sets, fiery red fiery clouds hang in the northwest corner of the sky.

The big man surnamed Zhao, who was walking in the front, shouted, and the convoy stopped. Lin Xiuwen watched from afar as he commanded everyone to fetch water, to collect firewood, to feed the horses, in an orderly manner, obviously an experienced old Jianghu. At this time, He Wu was talking to him about something, He Wu seemed to remember something, looked back at Lin Xiuwen and said something to the man surnamed Zhao, and pointed at him in the middle, and the man surnamed Zhao also looked at him.

Lin Xiuwen didn't pay too much attention to this, he was now attracted by other things, and on the edge of the official road farther away, there was a shrub and a figure in the forest flickering.

In this wilderness, the sudden appearance of a figure will naturally attract attention. However, except for Lin Xiuwen, no one else saw it.

Night had fallen.

A few fires jumped from time to time in the dark, and the firewood occasionally made a crackling sound, and it was already autumn at this time, and the weather had turned cool, and some people felt the cold, and from time to time rubbed their hands together and put their hands in front of the fire to bake.

Lin Xiuwen approached the bonfire in front of the middle-aged man surnamed Zhao and greeted him, he nodded and said nothing.

The young lady in the carriage also came out, dressed in a blue cloth skirt and with a veil on her face. Lin Xiuwen guessed that he wore it because of him.

Then Miss He walked straight to the bonfire in front of Lin Xiuwen, and Xiaocui set a small stool for her to sit in front of the bonfire.

The middle-aged man surnamed Zhao took a dry food for Lin Xiuwen, and Lin Xiuwen bit it, it was quite hard. But he thought about it and felt normal, after all, he was a mortal, and he didn't have all kinds of means like a monk, so he could only bring this kind of hard dry food.

"Xiao Cui, get him something to eat. Miss He saw Lin Xiuwen frowning, and told Xiaocui to bring Lin Xiuwen something to eat. What Xiaocui asked him to get was naturally not hard dry food, but what Miss He ate.

"Miss, we don't have much left. Xiao Cui reminded her.

Miss He didn't say anything, just stared at her.

"Okay, okay, I'll get it. Seeing that the young lady was about to get angry, Xiaocui hurriedly walked towards the carriage.

When she came back, she had a small bag of food like pastries in her hand. She said unhappily: "This is what our young lady eats, and it's cheap for you." ”

"Thank you!" Lin Xiuwen was not pretentious at all, took the food in his hand, and thanked him.

He opened the paper wrapped around the outer layer and found that it was indeed a pastry. He took a small piece and divided the rest among the few people around him.

"Well, why did you divide it?" asked Xiao Cui in surprise, we returned the food to you, and you actually divided it.

"Hehe, eating, it's just to be full," he said, picking up the dry food and taking a bite, chewing slowly.
