Gansu Town is one of the nine important towns on the border of Daxia. Although it is not as important as Jizhou, Xuan, Da, and Shanxi, it can be said to be very important because of its unique geographical location that connects other towns.
The result of the heavy emphasis is that the economy is also very prosperous, especially in recent years, the Dongnu cavalry has been seriously injured and has rarely been harassed.
It's now November. Compared to Jiangnan, which is not too cold yet, people here have already put on thick cotton robes.
Everywhere you look is covered in dust, just like the passing crowds, highlighting the unique ruggedness of the northwest.
Qi Yue and others looked at the pedestrians curiously, and the pedestrians also looked at them curiously.
The city gates here are also inspected as strictly as they have been along the way.
A group of people suddenly rushed out from the city, and pedestrians gave way.
Qi Yue and others naturally stepped aside and watched the pair of soldiers with bright armors pass by.
"There have been a lot of guards coming in and out recently."
"Yes, is there going to be a war?"
Pedestrians on the roadside were talking about it.
A pedestrian who was obviously better dressed interrupted.
"No." He said firmly.
Everyone looked at him.
"Why not? It's easy to have a war every winter." Someone questioned.
"Have you not noticed that things are different in the city recently?" the man said.
Some people nodded and some shook their heads.
"The city has been repainted recently, and the guards are often ordered to clean it. I heard that some young and capable women are being hired as servants, and the guards come and go to inspect three times a day..." the man said, looking at everyone with a serious expression.
He said with a deep look, "This means that someone important is coming."
Everyone was stunned.
"Think about it, if there really is a war, who of the important people will come here?" the man said.
Everyone nodded.
"What kind of person is he? Making these soldiers make such a fuss?" someone asked curiously.
"Then who knows." The man waved his hand and said, "Go to the fort and ask."
If you go to the fort and ask who's coming, isn't that like looking for a fight?
Everyone made a sound and dispersed in disdain.
Qi Yue did not hear these small talk, and her carriage continued towards the city gate after the guards passed by.
Looking at their large convoy, the guards obviously became more vigilant.
"The escort agency in the capital?" the guards asked.
"Yes." the escorts said.
The guards looked over and their eyes fell on Qi Yue who was sitting outside the car.
"For what?" they asked.
Hu San quickly brought the horse over.
"We are doctors," he said.
doctor?
Doctors and their families, the guards nodded and no longer looked at the woman in the car. Instead, they dispersed their inspections and waved to let her go.
As soon as the carriage started, a voice was heard from the doorway.
"Doctor?" said the male voice, "You're here just in time."
Then a tall man walked out.
"Come on, I'm just going to see the doctor. Come and take a look at my brother's arm." He said loudly, his eyes falling on Hu San.
Hu San couldn't help but want to roll his eyes at this man.
What's your attitude? Do you know who he is? The top disciple of the wife of the biggest boss here...
The man could naturally see the reluctance on his face.
"What kind of bullshit doctor? Are you a spy? Do you want to sneak in?" The man shouted loudly as he was about to draw his knife.
The escorts stood over hurriedly, looking nervous.
You are not afraid of fighting robbers and thieves on the road, but if you fight with these soldiers, it will be fatal...
Ah Ru and Ah Hao also became nervous.
Xiaoqu and the other four guards also made gestures of drawing their swords.
"Bold!" they shouted in unison.
Seeing that the person here was not only not afraid, but also had a strong attitude, the man's expression became more serious.
The surrounding soldiers and guards also gathered around, and the city gate suddenly became tense, and passers-by avoided and did not dare to approach.
"Put it all down, put it down." Qi Yue said, jumped off the carriage, looked at the military master and walked over, "Master, it's like this, we have something urgent, so we are in a hurry, so let's let my people go first
Go over there and report the news to my relatives, and I will go check on your brother."
The man stared at her.
This woman is wrapped in a large cloak, but her graceful figure cannot be concealed, and her face is covered with a gauze, which still shows her beauty.
relative?
"Who are you related to?" he asked blurtly.
"I wonder why you talk so much?" Xiaoqu frowned and shouted, "It's your turn to ask..."
The atmosphere that had just relaxed suddenly became tense again.
"Okay, okay, Xiaoqu, go quickly, say hello and ask where he is, don't tell me I'm here yet." Qi Yue said, approaching the man, "Come, where is your brother? I
See what’s wrong with his arm?”
"You?" The man stared at her.
"Yes, I am a doctor." Qi Yue said.
woman?
The man couldn't help but look at Hu San who was standing aside.
"Master, I'm going to get the medicine box." Hu San snorted and said loudly on purpose.
A woman is a doctor? She is not a couple, she is a master and a disciple.
The man sighed.
"Bad luck." He said, waving his hand, "Let's go."
"Hey." Qi Yue called him, "Why don't you read it?"
"Look at your mother's head," the man cursed.
"Hey, why are you swearing?" Qi Yue frowned.
Swearing? If the person in front of him was not a woman but a man, he would still hit them.
"Are you leaving? If you don't leave, you will be locked up..." the man shouted.
Qi Yue shook her head, turned around and waved her hands.
"Let's go." She said, holding her hands up and getting into the car.
Xiao Qu and his men were already one step ahead. Hu San wiped his nose, looked angrily at the man, and led the horse forward.
This unexpected episode did not affect everyone's mood, but no one had the intention to watch the bustle of the market here. Qi Yue sat in the car and happily discussed with Arua how to surprise Chang Yuncheng.
"... When he saw Xiaoqu, he would definitely ask why they were here. Xiaoqu followed what I said and replied that the matter was exposed and that he was driven away... Then he followed Chang Yuncheng, learned about his movements, and then told us
, I will go there in advance...Hey, do you think I will suddenly jump out and scare him, or will I pretend to be a passerby and walk past him so that he can't believe it?" Qi Yue leaned against the carriage.
, said with his legs crossed and swaying.
Ah Ru stretched out his hand and spanked her legs.
"Sit tight, sit tight," she said angrily.
Here Ah Hao smiled and imitated her, and even shook Qi Yue's arm.
"Madam, teach me how to whistle..." she said.
Ahru rarely turned around and scolded her.
Qi Yue knocked on the carriage, very dissatisfied that her words were ignored by the two.
"I'm talking about business, can you give me some advice? Be serious," she said.
Aru reached out and took off the veil from her face.
"Be serious about business and don't do this. It's best to just follow the song and get through it," she said.
Qi Yue waved her hand.
"You guys are so boring. This is a big surprise!" she laughed.
"What does it mean to be sebu matzi?" Ah Hao asked curiously.
"It's a big surprise!" Qi Yue raised her hands and shouted, her whole face lighting up with a smile, "When the time comes, why don't you jump out and shout the surprise too!"
Ah Hao clapped his hands and shouted, Ah Ru rolled his eyes.
While they were talking and laughing, the rapid sound of a ditty came from outside the car.
"Madam, madam," he shouted, reining in his horse.
Qi Yue hurriedly opened the car curtain and looked around with some caution.
"Hey, didn't we agree that you shouldn't come over to see us yet..." She lowered her voice and looked behind Xiao Qu with some expectation. That person...
"Madam, the Crown Prince is no longer here." Xiaoqu said anxiously.
What?
Qi Yue was stunned.
"Not here?" she asked blankly.
Ah Ru and Ah Hao were surprised when they heard the sound and crowded over to look at Xiao Qu.
"That's right, the prince deployed the defenses two months ago, along the road from here to the town fortress on the Xuanda side." Xiaoqu said hurriedly.
Qi Yue stared at him.
Damn, this is really a big surprise!
"Now you can jump out and raise your hands to shout surprise." She turned to Aru and Ahao and said.
The night here is darker than in the capital. Six lamps were lit in the box, illuminating the people eating around three tables.
A Ru, A Hao Xiaoqu and others couldn't eat any more. Qi Yue was still eating, and of course Hu San was also busy.
"Have you eaten yet?" Hu San asked everyone while stopping to hold the food in his mouth.
Ahru gave him a kick from below.
"Can you still eat?" she shouted in a low voice.
"Why can't you eat it?" Qi Yue said, tearing off a piece of mutton happily and raising a finger to the escort and others on the table over there, "Try this, roasted mutton, it tastes really authentic!"
The escorts all smiled and thanked him.
"Ms. Qi, are you really not going to come back with us?" The leading escort came over after a moment's hesitation and asked.
"I'm not going back. I came here so easily, how can I go back?" Qi Yue said with a smile.
"But isn't the person you're looking for not here?" The escort frowned and said worriedly, "The customs here are rough and it's close to the border. It's really dangerous for you three women to stay here."
After traveling together for so long, they had a good impression of this hearty and generous woman. At first, the escort thought that this delicate little lady would make their journey very troublesome. Unexpectedly, this charming little lady had very strong adaptability. Not only did she not
Instead of causing trouble, you can always say or do something interesting, making the boring journey more interesting.
They were really worried about leaving her behind.
"Hey, am I not a human being?" Hu San interrupted, dissatisfied with being ignored.
Qi Yue smiled.
"It's okay. Xiaoqu also asked. The person I'm looking for will be back in a while. Let's wait here." She said.
In this case, the escorts stopped trying to persuade him.
"Come on, drink this bowl of practice wine, thank you for your hard work, and wish you a safe journey!" Qi Yue raised his glass and said.
The escorts all laughed and raised their glasses.
"On such an occasion, and we are in Mobei, why do we have to drink from a big bowl? The small wine glasses are so shabby." Qi Yue said again.
Ah Ru reaches out his hand.
"Don't use the wine glass, I'll change it for you," she said.
Qi Yue laughed hurriedly.
"What you want, what you want, whatever you want, it will be done." She said, and took a sip of it, for fear of being robbed.
The escorts laughed and did it one after another.
It was dark at night, Ah Hao helped Qi Yue dry her hair, while Ah Ru laid out the bedding.
"Are we really going to live here?" A'ru asked, "Why don't we show our identity and move in with the Crown Prince."
Qi Yue didn't wear any shoes and ran to bed on tiptoe.
"In what capacity are we moving in?" She threw herself on the bed, slept comfortably, and asked with a smile.
But no, what is the relationship now? There is no relationship at all.
"...Aru, remember to find a house with Hu San, let's rent it..." Qi Yue said again, rolled into bed with the quilt and closed her eyes.
Ah Ru responded, extinguished the lights here and closed the door.
It was quiet all around.
Qi Yue opened her eyes in the darkness and punched the quilt.
Didn’t the brat even read a letter?
So angry!
Why is it so small!
The evil old society with backward communication!***(To be continued)
