Huaizhou is south of the capital, and it takes five or six days to reach Huaizhou by carriage. Originally, with the vigorous and resolute work style of Fu Heng and Jin Yiwei, they would probably have to work hard day and night, but because of the time required for this trip,
After getting on Jiangwu, the speed could no longer be increased.
This trip was because the prefect of Huaizhou came to report the day before yesterday that an unexplained infectious disease had appeared in his jurisdiction. The disease was dangerous and strange. The prefect of Huaizhou had no choice but to write a note and submit it to the palace, asking the emperor to send important ministers.
Come investigate the case.
Originally, they only sent Fu Heng and Jin Yiwei to investigate, but Concubine Jia came forward and asked An Wang to go with her.
This is also the reason why King An came to see Fu Heng a few days ago.
"Sir, if we work hard today, we can reach Huaizhou early tomorrow morning."
They have been on the road for several days. They have hardly stopped along the way except to feed the horses. They see the sun setting in the west. Although they are taking the official road and can arrive early tomorrow morning, if they want to rest tonight,
I'm afraid it will be difficult.
Fu Heng frowned slightly, and Zhou Xian'en on the side said: "My lord, I'm afraid there is no need to worry about this night. His Royal Highness Prince An's motorcade is still behind. This time, the Holy Emperor has personally assigned it, so I might not be left out in the cold."
Jiang Wu was sitting in the sedan chair, his face pale.
She didn't know what was going on with this case, but since she started on the road two days ago, she felt that she might have lost a lot of weight. Even if she didn't get motion sickness, she wouldn't be able to vomit anything out of her stomach after being shaken these days.
Fu Heng turned his eyes and focused on the carriage behind him. The carriage looked gorgeous, but it had not stopped for a day, and Jiang Wu was not as lively as before. A few hours ago, she turned pale.
I'm afraid it's not good.
Fu Heng remembered that Jiang Wu had not eaten a grain of rice today, and his eyes darkened slightly, "Two miles ahead, let's find a place to rest."
Zhou Xian'en agreed and led a team of royal guards to explore the way forward.
Fu Heng ordered the repairs to be made on the spot, and he dismounted and walked to the carriage and knocked on the window.
After a while, the window was opened, revealing Jiang Wu's pale and aggrieved face.
"grown ups……"
Fu Heng frowned lightly, but his words were still so rude: "Thankfully you are still from my Beizhen Fusi family, why are you so fragile?"
If it weren't for his lack of strength, Jiang Wu would have really wanted to jump down and hit him.
She weakly leaned most of her body against the car window and complained bitterly, "Sir, don't even think about it. I have been sitting in the carriage for more than ten hours this day. I am really going to be vomited."
Fu Heng raised his eyebrows, "Then what do you want?"
Jiang Wu thought for a while, her head was dizzy now, and it didn't seem good to ride a horse, so she shook her head and closed her mouth angrily. Then she thought again, maybe Fu Heng had something delicious to eat, she stretched out her hand
He stretched out a white wrist and shook it. Fu Heng stood by the car window and felt that the white hand was dazzling.
He frowned again unconsciously, "What else do you want?"
Jiang Wu said: "Do you have anything to eat, sir? I'm hungry."
Fu Heng said: "Didn't we distribute dry food today?"
The conscience of heaven and earth, the rough gentlemen of Jinyiwei, said they only gave dry food, not even tea. Jiang Wu ate a piece yesterday and almost choked himself to death.
She said: "I have given out dry food, but I really can't eat it. What do you eat, sir? Can you give me a piece for the little one?"
Jiang Wu thought to himself, Fu Heng is the commander, and if he is such a senior official, he must have different food from them. Fu Heng is a generous person, so it would be great if he could give her a little more credit.
Fu Heng then laughed, took out his baggage and threw it directly into the carriage. His voice was cold and he said, "See what you have for yourself."
Jiang Wu was quite happy at first, but when she unpacked the bag, she found that there was nothing there, just half a piece of naan cake.
She returned the baggage to Fu Heng angrily, "Then when we have a rest later, will the adults still remember the little one?"
Fu Heng raised his eyebrows: "Why do you ask that?"
Jiang Wu said seriously: "I really hope that you will remember me, so that I can at least take care of the next meal."
Even for someone as cold and cold as Fu Heng, the corners of his lips were slightly tickled by her words.
The sun sets in the west, and the golden afterglow falls all over the mountain. Looking to the other side, the remaining snow in winter is thicker, and the white snow on both sides of the official road is even farther away. Zhou Xianen and the Jin Yiwei who explored the way have returned.
He said there was a small town ahead where he could rest for the night.
Zhou Xian'en said: "Sir, this place is called Bitter Apricot Town, and there are about a hundred households in and around it. I have booked one of the inns, which is called Laifu Inn."
Fu Heng said no more and rode to the front of the line. The group of people walked into Buxing Town. Buxing Town was remote and most of the residents were local people. They all went out to look around. Fortunately, no one wore any clothes today.
Among the official uniforms, even Fu Heng only wore a black round-neck robe. There was only one carriage in the team, and it was very gorgeous. Everyone looked at it and felt that even a wealthy family was traveling.
We arrived at the Laifu Inn very quickly. The inn was not very big, but it had two floors. It was clean and simple. Outside was a large courtyard where horses could rest. After everyone entered the courtyard, they were immediately greeted by lively servants.
Come up.
Jiang Wu's legs were still a little weak when she got off the carriage, and she sat slowly on the beam for a while. The boy saw that she was dressed in a noble manner. Although she was wearing a veil and couldn't see her face, she could still tell that she was a woman.
She was a very beautiful woman. He subconsciously thought that Jiang Wu was a family member of the leader. He hurriedly put down a low stool and prepared to help Jiang Wu down, "Greetings, young lady..."
When Jiang Wu heard this, his hands shook and he almost fell.
Over there, Fu Heng was standing not far away looking at her. Jiang Wu couldn't see his expression, but felt that he would definitely be angry, so he hurriedly explained: "I am not a family member."
The boy was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Jiang Wu added: "I am his sister."
No wonder the young man thinks so. Buxing Town is the only way to Huaizhou. As the only large-scale inn in Buxing Town, Laifu Inn is often visited by businessmen traveling from north to south.
Teams or rich people stayed here when traveling, and most of the people in the carriages were their families.
The boy hurriedly said: "I am blind, please come inside..."
Fu Heng was already standing at the hall door, and his brows furrowed even more when he heard this. When Jiang Wu passed by him, he only heard him say lightly: "I don't know when my mother gave me a younger sister.
"
Jiang Wupi looked at Fu Heng with a smile, and snorted softly. This person must have felt that he was offended by the call "ma'am", but she is a girl! With all conscience, Fu Heng is too pretentious!
The two of them entered the hall together. The shopkeeper was already happy when he saw so many people. When he saw Jiang Wu standing next to Fu Heng, making the same mistake as the boy, he looked at the two people and cupped his hands.
: "The two noble people must be husband and wife. We have an upper room here, which is very well decorated. Let the two of you stay in this room."
Fu Heng frowned again, and Jiang Wu glanced at him. For some reason, he probably had a brain twitch, and replied angrily: "Okay."
