Bai Yuelu naturally walked forward side by side with him.
Rong Yi had never had such an experience before. He was inexplicably nervous and his palms were slightly sweaty.
"Why doesn't Shen Kun come?"
Bai Yuelu felt Rong Yi's nervousness. She understood more and more that this young man from the Southern Dynasty was truly innocent, and she felt good in her heart.
"After all, he has some grudges with King Nanhuang, and many things are inconvenient to show up." Rong Yi answered this sentence, and then realized that this should be considered a secret of Tie Ce's army, at least except for them, even the other Tie Ce The generals of the army did not know Shen Kun's true identity at all, so he whispered: "He was snatched from the hands of King Nanhuang by force before, so he cannot be known to the outside world."
Bai Yuelu understood what he meant and said softly: "I know, I will never tell anyone."
"Wait at that shop."
This street is really short, but as the two of them were talking, they were already nearing the end. The shop Rong Yi ordered at the end was a beef noodle shop.
Minced beef was boiling in a firewood-fired iron pot, exuding a very rich aroma of meat, and boiling water was boiling in another large iron pot with rising white steam. Cut rice noodles were spread flat on a wooden board next to it.
This kind of simple food has the most original taste and often arouses people's appetite the most.
It's just that there are very few caravans passing by today, and the business in this shop is a bit deserted. There are only guests on one table, a man and a woman, who look like a couple, and they should be familiar with the owner of the shop, and the owner of the shop. The boss spoke from time to time with a local accent in Luoshui City, and they didn't care that a bunch of young men and women had arrived.
"How long until it comes?"
Bai Yuelu turned to look at Rong Yi and asked.
Rong Yi hesitated a little and said: "It's very fast."
Bai Yuelu understood the meaning of his words, which soon became ambiguous. What's more, there was no sound of horse hooves on the road outside at this time, so at least no carriage would arrive here within a cup of tea.
"Boss, two bowls."
So she sat down and said to the boss on the stove who was cutting side dishes quickly while chatting with two other diners.
"Okay, would you like each to add an extra portion of beef? Do you want some wine?"
"Add more beef, no wine."
Bai Yuelu finished ordering quickly. During this process, Rong Yi just seemed a little restrained and sat down next to her.
The two of them said nothing more and waited until the two steaming bowls of beef noodles were served.
Rong Yi subconsciously took out two pairs of chopsticks and handed one pair to her.
Bai Yuelu naturally reached out and took it and said thank you.
It was only then that Rong Yi began to become less nervous.
Bai Yuelu started to eat the bowl of beef noodles. She ate a little thinly, picked it up with chopsticks, mixed the beef that was covered with white rice noodles, and then took a sip of the soup.
Just after taking a sip of the soup, there were some inexplicable emotions in her eyes.
It tastes really good.
But the biggest problem is that the taste is very different from that of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Beef noodles or beef noodles like those from the Northern Wei Dynasty will have a stronger spice flavor and a saltier and spicier taste, but the fishy smell of the beef itself will not be covered up much.
There are very few spices or chilies used here, and the taste is lighter. It just takes more time on the heat and marinade, so it has a completely different taste in the mouth.
There were many differences between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty. In her thoughts at this time, it started with this bowl of beef noodles.
Before the Linghuang was determined, many people in the Northern Wei Dynasty had been advocating to advance southward. Similarly, many people in the Southern Dynasties had been clamoring for a northern invasion. Therefore, whether there was a Linghuang or not, this war would definitely start.
At this time, this bowl of beef noodles reminded her more clearly of the thoughts of those powerful people in the Northern Wei Dynasty who had long advocated southward expansion. In fact, it is difficult to say whether a bowl of beef noodles from the Northern Wei Dynasty or the Southern Dynasties is more delicious, but the flavors are different.
There will be a greater sense of freshness.
The dignitaries of the Northern Wei Dynasty were determined to seize the power of the Southern Dynasty, largely because of this novelty.
Rong Yi didn't have much emotion. It was delicious. He quickly finished the bowl of noodles and soup, and then couldn't help but burp.
Looking at Bai Yuelu who was still eating slowly, he smiled sheepishly.
"If it were all so simple, there wouldn't be so many troublesome things." Such a voice sounded in her mind. At this time, she heard the faint sound of horse hooves coming from the road in the distance.
Soon, Rong Yi also noticed such a sound.
"Don't be in a hurry, I'll take a look first."
He waved to Bai Yuelu, then paid the pink money first, stood up, and walked to the street.
The outlines of several carriages gradually emerged in the night on the road. When he saw clearly the small triangular flags planted diagonally on the carriages, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Yuelu slowly finished the bowl of beef noodles, and when she walked to Rong Yi's side, she began to smell a spicy smell coming from the wind.
This fragrance comes from the carriages approaching slowly.
The aroma is very similar to the fried noodles that were the staple food of some nomadic tribes in the Northern Wei Dynasty. They were fried with some grains and wild grass seeds, and then ground into powder with a stone mill.
But none of the dry foods she was familiar with had such a unique smell.
"Do you know where this marching ration comes from?"
She took a deep breath and asked what Rong meant.
Rong Yi shook his head, "It is said to be from the caravan, but I have to ask Lin Yi and Shen Kun where they are from specifically."
"Can I have a taste?" Bai Yuelu thought for a while and asked.
Rong Yi was stunned and nodded subconsciously.
In his opinion, since Lin Yi and he both trusted Bai Yuelu, there would be no problem for Bai Yuelu to take a bite with so much dry food delivered.
Waiting for the carriages to get closer, he made several gestures to the carriages.
The carriage still maintained its original speed. When it arrived not far away, a bearded man on the first carriage said: "Lead the way."
Rong Yi turned around and led the way.
Bai Yuelu stopped where she was and said, "Can I take a look at the goods?"
The bearded man tapped her with the riding crop in his hand and asked Rong Yi: "Together?"
Rong Yi immediately said: "Together."
The beard was unusually crisp, "Okay."
Bai Yuelu's figure moved and she got to the car. She untied one of the bags, reached out and grabbed a handful, got out of the car, then brought it to her mouth and chewed it slowly.
It didn't seem to be much different from the caravan rations she was familiar with, except that after chewing it, there was still a faint fishy taste, which then turned into sweetness.
However, soon after entering her stomach, in her perception, it seemed that like some local medicines, some extremely weak medicinal energy was being released, but this release made her feel vaguely threatened.
The moment these medicinal qi came into contact with the true essence in her body, the surface of the true essence in her body showed slight marks, as if it had withstood the wind and frost outside the Great Wall.
This should be something that conflicts with the aura of heaven and earth and the true essence.
