Chapter 2963 Delicate (8 for book friend Murong Qingqing)
Chapter 2963 Exquisite (Additional update 8 for the reward for book friend "Murong qingqing")
Bai Shan tied the horse to the back of the car and let it run and rest, and then he sat in the car.
Daji also took over the work of the coachman, tied his horse behind, and then drove the carriage away.
The guards of the Bai family brought out by Zhou Man rode up to follow them. Less than two quarters of an hour later, it was already dark.
Zhou Man had already prepared, and without her instructions, the guards lit torches and headed on the road. Lanterns were also lit on both sides of the carriage. There were two horses walking in front. Daji could barely see the road with the torches they held.
The group of people were not walking very fast, so they walked in a leisurely manner for an hour. After walking about half the way, they stopped and found a flat place on the side of the road to camp.
Bai Shan was sweating all over the day and felt a little uncomfortable now. He could only wet his handkerchief with water and wipe his neck. When he saw the officer who was following the team in a low-key manner, he raised his chin at Zhou Man and said, "You
Didn’t you let the person go?”
"Wouldn't it be a shame if he went back alone to revive himself? So I left him behind."
Well, if we go to the city together tomorrow, either he and Governor Guo will still be in harmony with each other, or he will meet each other's anger, which will indeed affect the officers.
Bai Shan withdrew his gaze and said to Zhou Man, "We will set off early tomorrow."
Zhou Man looked at him happily, so it turns out that you are not afraid or worried?
Bai Shan tapped her nose and said, "It's better to untie enemies than to make knots. Let's take a rest."
He and Daji had eaten dry food in the car, and there was no need to eat anymore. They lit a fire, drove away the mosquitoes, and got in the car to lie down.
Lying in the car is indeed better than lying outside.
Before dawn the next day, Zhou Man was woken up by Keke.
So she reached out and pushed Bai Shan.
Bai Shan got out of the car with a confused look on his face, looked at the stars hanging in the dark sky, and doubted Zhou Man's judgment, "Is it the Yin time?"
Zhou Man nodded affirmatively: "Yes!"
"There is no hourglass, how do you know that?" Bai Shan felt that he had just closed his eyes and slept for less than a quarter of an hour. How could it be that it was Yin hour?
But Zhou Man insisted, "It's Yinshi, just wash your face and leave."
Traveling at night is slower. They have to get to the city gate before it opens, and they have to get up now.
Bai Shan wiped his face and woke everyone up, and everyone moved forward holding torches.
Facts have proved that Zhou Man's time was very accurate. By the time they arrived outside Qingzhou City, the stars in the sky had become much sparser and the sky was slightly brighter.
There were also some people waiting outside the city. Some came into the city early in the morning carrying vegetables and other things to sell, and there were also caravans who had not had time to enter the city yesterday.
Bai Shan and his carriage stopped outside, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the city gate hadn't been opened yet.
When the time came, the sky became brighter, the city gate opened, and Bai Shan and his carriage immediately went to the small gate next to them.
When the officers and soldiers guarding the gate saw the uniforms of all the government officials on the other side, they stared slightly and stepped forward to find out their origins.
Bai Shan opened the curtain and said hello from behind. The officer came forward and said to the city guard with a confused expression, "This is Magistrate Bai of Beihai County, who has entered the city on the order of the governor."
The city guard immediately let him go.
After entering the city gate, Zhou Man looked at Bai Shan, "Are you going directly, or..."
Bai Shan was in a dilemma, "Although it seems sincere to me to see Governor Guo like this, it's too embarrassing. And is Governor Guo at this time?"
Zhou Man made a quick decision, "Then let's go to the inn first."
Bai Shan thought so too, but he still asked his guards and officers to go to the Governor's Mansion first, "Just say that I will come to visit Governor Guo and the nobles later."
The servant said: "How about I wait for the adults to freshen up before we go together?"
Seeing that he was so worried and scared, Bai Shan didn't want to embarrass him. He nodded and asked him to follow, and then asked the guard to deliver a message to the governor's office first.
The group of people went to the inn first.
At this time, there were only a few business travelers who paid to stay in the hotel. Although Bai Shan and the others arrived too early, the Yi Cheng still received them warmly.
Bai Shan couldn't stand the smell of sweat on his body, so he said to Yi Cheng: "Let the kitchen fetch us two buckets of hot water, and put the others away first. Don't worry."
Yi Cheng was stunned and asked: "Master, don't you eat first?"
You obviously traveled all night, aren't you hungry?
He was hungry, but Bai Shan didn't like the food at the inn. He would rather go out and eat the steamed stuffed buns from the small stall outside. However, he couldn't say that to them, so he smiled and said: "No hurry, wash up first, we have something to eat."
I need to go out to meet people later, so I can eat outside."
The manpower in the kitchen was also limited. When Yi Cheng heard that they would not eat at the inn, he became happy and immediately promised to prepare hot water for them immediately.
Bai Shan and Zhou Man took a bath and washed their hair.
Xibing took out their official uniforms and carefully scented them with incense, and then took out the accessories they could wear and arranged them...
Bai Shan and Zhou Man put on their fragrant official uniforms and finally felt alive and refreshed.
When he was in a good mood, he became generous, turned to Zhou Man and said, "Give me some money."
Zhou Man: "You have no money?"
Bai Shan: "What will I do with money when I go to the countryside? I don't have much left."
Zhou Man then went to see Xiang Xiang Cake. Xi Cake took out a box from the box and opened it. There were two pennies and several fat silver ingots inside.
Bai Shan took one look and said, "Just give me a sling of money."
I just took out a bunch of money for the cakes.
Bai Shan took it and took it out to Daji, "Let everyone go out to eat something good. You have been through a lot of trouble this night. We only need to bring two people with us, and let the others catch up on their sleep."
Daji accepted the money and gave it to everyone.
Bai Shan looked at the time and saw that it was completely bright outside. The streets were gradually becoming crowded, but because it was still early, there were not many people coming and going.
Bai Shan muttered as he mounted his horse, "I don't know if Governor Guo is awake..."
Governor Guo in the Governor's Mansion was not only awake, but also very energetic because he had not slept all night!
He can't sleep!
First it was surprise, then fear, and finally anger.
He was frightened because so many noble people suddenly came to Qingzhou City, saying they were on inspection. But when he heard the time they left the capital, it was obvious that they did not stop along the way and rushed directly to his Qingzhou. How could he not be afraid?
The anger lies in the fact that Bai Shan didn't even come to Qingzhou City until the sunset and the city gates were closed. He didn't take him seriously as the governor, right?
Where has all the humility and friendliness gone?
Under various emotions, coupled with the sudden arrival of the noble man and the need to arrange security, food, clothing, housing and transportation, etc., he didn't sleep all night.
Of course, his staff didn't have to sleep either.
So Bai Shan's bodyguard sent the message to the Governor's Mansion, and he found out in less than two-quarters of an hour.
I heard that Bai Shan really went to the countryside. Because he missed the person who was looking for him and walked far away, his return to the city was delayed. After receiving the news yesterday, he hurried all night and waited outside the city gate early in the morning.
Already.
He entered the city gate as soon as it opened, but because he had traveled all night and was in a mess, he couldn't come to see Governor Guo, so he went to the inn to wash up first.
Governor Guo's face finally looked better. He knew that the other party didn't mean it, and his face finally came back. However, he still sat down and waited seriously. He waited for half an hour.
? ? ? I wish our party a happy birthday, the motherland is prosperous, our life today is as the martyrs wished, and everyone is happy July 1st!
