Chapter 834 "I am not an enemy!"

Generally speaking, when foreign missions completed their mission and returned home, their expenses were borne by the Daxuan court, including the mission's food and accommodation, carriages and horses, escorts, gifts, etc.

Moreover, relations between countries are often maintained with the help of valuable gifts, so even if the Voss mission does not make a lot of money, it will also add a lot of carriage and horse baggage.

But not this time.

Their inexplicable appearance was not recognized by Daxuan officials; and since they wanted people as soon as they arrived, the emperor would not look down upon them, so the delegation received nothing and even had to provide their own food.

The team of more than a thousand people had to eat and feed the horses. Naturally, the people of Vos did not have that much food, so they had to buy it along the way.

Therefore, every time he went to a post station, temple, or other places, Chu Qing would ask everyone to stop and wait for them to take care of things.

The problem is that even if they pay high prices, they can't buy much dairy and meat, and the people of Vos are not used to vegetarian food.

The Fourth Prince's nose was almost crooked with anger, because no matter where he went, Chu Qing only needed to send one or two guards, and he would soon be able to contact him with the cheapest food source, and it was very plentiful. If he wanted fish, he would have fish, and if he wanted meat, he would

Meat.

If they knew that every time people from Chuqing went out to buy things, they would spread the word that the Voss people were here, selling at high prices to make money, they would probably vomit blood.

The fourth prince really wanted Chu Qing to help buy food and grass for their group, but he couldn't bear to do so.

Chu Qing even pretended that they couldn't see or think about it, and let them worry about themselves.

However, every time it was time for meals, Chuqing and his wife were either grilling or shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-ing the meat. The smoke from the cooking pots was curling up and the aroma was overflowing, allowing the people of Voss to see it but smell it but not eat it.

Especially Xu Nianping, who would hold a jar of snacks even if it was not a meal, and keep talking all day long.

The people of Vos are quite miserable. They often just eat pancakes and "white snakes explore the sea", even if it's just one meal. As for drinking, haha, just think about it.

Even the name of the dish "White Snake Exploring the Sea" was given by Chu Qing - green onion dipping sauce.

This trip is probably the most thorough one the Voss people have ever taken to get rid of the smell of mutton, because now their mouths are full of the smell of green onions.

Finally, King Guli couldn't sit still anymore and dragged the fourth prince to find Chu Qing: "Master Chu, you are familiar with the land and have good popularity. Can you buy some food and grass for us? You won't suffer any loss!"

Xu Nianping was next to Chu Qing. He chewed the mustard pig ears in the small jar and thought, although King Guli couldn't get used to the smell of mustard, pig ears are also meat, and he was greedy just looking at them.

Chu Qing glanced at Xu Nianping, who was holding a jar and pouring soup into his mouth, and replied with infinite sincerity: "I will not succumb to the enemy!"

King Gu Li: "..."

The fourth prince turned around and left. He found that he hated the "sincere" Chu Qing more than the violent Chu Qing.

Chu Qing rode hard for six or seven days, and was delayed because of the people in Wos buying food everywhere. It took him twenty-two days to reach the boundary marker of Xinlun Prefecture.

In this way, Chu Qing still complained to Xu Nianping: "People who are outsiders don't understand how precious time is! What a damn waste of time!"

It was as if the delay had nothing to do with her.

"Lord Song!" Chu Qing was surprised to see Song Tingshan at the boundary monument: "Why did Lord Song come here in person? Are you still here?"

Song Tingshan cupped his hands and joked: "Come and greet the 'Iron Lady'!"

It seems that the rumors from Kyoto have spread here.

"Ah, this..." Chu Qing was a little surprised, but Song Tingshan was surprised: "You are still shy? What a strange scene!"

Then he turned his body sideways, as if to let Chu Qing see the officials following him, and Chu Qing saw Wei Chengyi.

Wei Chengyi was wearing long-sleeved clothes and followed Song Tingshan. He looked at Chu Qing carefully up and down with his eyes. He was relieved after confirming that Chu Qing had lost some weight and there was nothing wrong with him.

Chu Qing nodded to him imperceptibly and hurriedly greeted the other officials, while Song Tingshan had already greeted the fourth prince and the others.

Under Song Tingshan's warm invitation and meticulous and thoughtful arrangements, the people of Vos, who had been half full and not hungry for more than 20 days, followed Yi Cheng to his residence with green eyes.

Song Tingshan told them that in addition to going through the formalities, as the magistrate of Xinlun Prefecture, Song Tingshan would personally entertain these "distinguished guests" and invite them to take a good look around Xinlun Prefecture.

After hearing this, Chu Qing looked at Wei Chengyi and asked with his eyes: "What does Mr. Song want to do?"

It's a bit abnormal to entertain them in person and invite them to play! Doesn't Song Tingshan know that this will make him impeached by the official?

Wei Chengyi glanced at Chu Qing. As soon as they met, he could see that Xu Nianping was different from the Chu family, and judged that this person should be a supervisor. Therefore, in response to Chu Qing's questioning eyes, he shook his head slightly and did not answer.

Chu Qing was speechless.

Wei Chengyi appeared as a follower of the governor, fearing that Bai Hua had something to say or Wei Chengyi had something to do.

Song Tingshan's enthusiasm made the fourth prince and his party feel little respect. Instead, they now hoped to speed up their schedule and return to Voss quickly.

"You have to eat and drink enough, wash up and tidy up," Song Tingshan smiled and comforted: "After traveling thousands of miles, prince, the princes don't want to go to see King Voss looking tired and tired, right?"

This is true. Just look at these people from Vos who haven't eaten a few shredded pork in more than 20 days. They are guarding Daxuan, a place rich in products, and they can't get enough to eat.

They did hunt on the way, but how many wild animals could they hunt? There was not enough time for them to enter the mountains and forests.

In early spring, the biggest thing that can be hunted is a skinny wild boar that comes out to look for food.

Due to Chu Qing's attitude towards the guards, the Fourth Prince and others were too embarrassed to keep the meat to themselves, so they shared it with the soldiers, so they just had a taste.

"You can calm down and reorganize the team for the time being. With so many people, the border crossing procedures will take several days!" Song Tingshan said: "I have made it clear that entry and exit are strict. Every soldier, including the accompanying cooks, needs to be registered."

As expected of a veteran, just by saying "Enter with ease and with strict exit", the Voss mission's efforts to secretly sneak into Daxuan became one of the rules for entry and exit of Daxuan, saving some face for the court.

At the same time, he also pointed out: It is easy for you to come in, but if you want to go out, you have to undergo strict investigation. It is hard to say what problems will be found.

Song Tingshan glanced at Chu Qing naturally, and then said: "Master Chu, when you get to my place, your escort mission will be completed and you can leave on your own."

After speaking, he nodded to Wei Chengyi: "Xiao Weizi, send Master Chu off for me." He nodded to Xu Nianping again.

Chu Qing just needs to give Song Tingshan a thumbs up - "Easy in and strict out", you really have it! Leave these barbarians to you, I can rest assured!

Wei Chengyi played the role of a long-term follower very well, bowed and saluted, and then turned around to ask Chu Qing and Xu Nianping to get in the car.

Chu Qing dug out a can of beef slices mixed with mustard and stuffed it into Xu Nianping: "Xiao Xu, this place is still far from my Blue House. You should make up for it first, and we can get into the city in one go and then have a good meal!"

Xu Nianping happily carried the jar back to the carriage, and Chu Qingze and Wei Chengyi had a chance to talk.
