"I'm always very impatient, but I don't know that I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Now we don't have much schedule for our Tianchi country. When we arrive in our country, I am the son of a prince. The king will look down on my father and deal with her, Xueer. Isn't it easy? When the time comes, I will let her not survive or die, kneel on the ground and lick the toe of my shoe, and I will not send her off."
One-eared guard: "Master Special Envoy is far-sighted, and a villain can't match you!"
Special envoy: "Let's go back to the camp, it's only a few hours before dawn. Hurry up and get some sleep, and we have to meet the king of Yu Li Kingdom during the day!"
More than 20 people checked in the Tianwangtang and found nothing missing, so they went down the mountain and returned to the camp in peace.
The next day, everyone woke up, paid homage to the maid who was killed by Kong Damu, and set off to leave the camp. Two hours later, everyone came to the capital of Yu Li Kingdom. Although Yu Li Country is not as big as Dajing Country, and the capital city is not as crowded as Dajing Country, but it is not necessarily bustling and lively.
I saw the streets bustling with each other, shoulders rubbing shoulders, sweating profusely. The colder the weather, the stronger the enthusiasm of everyone to go shopping. The panic of last night was replaced by this excitement and prosperity.
Immediately, Chuntao happily said to Rong Chang'an: "Concubine, I feel like I'm back in the capital of the Great Jing Kingdom. You can see that all kinds of businesses are exactly the same as our Great Jing Kingdom."
Rong Changan said with a smile: "Aren't they all human beings? Human beings are inseparable from food, clothing, housing, and transportation. In order to solve the problem of clothing, food, housing, and transportation, various exchanges must be carried out. It's the same everywhere, not just the Dajing Kingdom."
Chuntao: "I'm talking about the things they sell, they seem to be from the Great Jing Kingdom!"
Rong Changan took a closer look, and sure enough, many of the commodities sold on the street were common in Dajing Kingdom. For example, clay figurines, flower melons, plate fields, etc., as well as some jewelry and gadgets, all have the shadow of the Great Jing Kingdom.
The so-called flower melons are engraved with various characters and landscapes on Dongling melons; Bantian is to sprinkle seedlings on a small wooden board, and make small wooden houses and small people next to it, just like a miniature farmhouse. Both adults and children love these things.
Chuntao thought for a while and said, "I understand!"
Rong Changan: "What do you understand?"
Chuntao: "Because our Dajing country is too strong in terms of national power, culture, and economy, and neighboring countries admire us, it is not unusual to sell our country's products on the street."
"Chuntao, I found that you are getting smarter and smarter!"
Chuntao scratched her nose, and smiled immodestly: "That's right, a strong general has no weak soldiers under his command, and Concubine Xue Gui is so strong, how can I embarrass you. ——This place is so lively, I really want to go down for a stroll."
I have been on the road for the past few days, and what I have passed is nothing more than deserted grasslands and valleys. Even if there are people, there are only three or two households. Even those who have good wine, who haven't tasted the wine for a few days, have long been restless. Yu Li Country is still five days away from Tianchi Country, and there are still a lot of things to consume, so everyone should be allowed to buy what they like.
Rong Chang'an discussed with the special envoy, and everyone went to buy what they needed separately, and met at the posthouse in Yu Liguo around You. So everyone, in groups of three and five, went shopping separately. Jin Renxin was going to the herbal medicine store to buy some herbs, so he went alone. Rong Changan sent Zixuan to the post house first, leaving two maidservants to take care of her. She and Chuntao left the post house and strolled on the street.
Rong Changan: "Is the prescription prescribed by Imperial Physician Jin last night still available?"
Chuntao took it out of her pocket: "This is not it!"
Rong Changan: "We'll go to the pharmacy, get you some medicine, and return to the post house to decoct it for you."
The two went straight to the pharmacy.
The special envoy entered a hotel with five guards and found a seat by the window. The one-eared guard knocked on the table with a brisk walk and shouted:
"Boss, the food is served, the food is served!"
The boss saw that there were a few foreigners with a fierce temperament, so he hurried over to say hello: "Six guests, what do you want to eat?"
One eye salivated and looked at the special envoy: "Master special envoy, what do you want to eat?"
The special envoy snorted, and said to the boss: "Bring me the most delicious and the most expensive in your hotel. Boil the best wine first, and let us brothers warm up."
When the boss heard the word "special envoy", he didn't know which country's special envoy it was, but since it was a special envoy, he had to be careful in entertaining him. If the special envoy of Shangguo is offended, it is no joke that the special envoy becomes unhappy. So with a smile on his face, he ordered the cook to cook a table of dishes for the six envoys.
Before the dishes came, they drank hot wine first.
Three fast horses suddenly came from the south outside. The riders on the horses were all wearing felt hats and all in black clothes. Each of them had a knife in their hand. The horse suddenly stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and the three dismounted, tied the horse, and entered the hotel.
"Is there a pavilion upstairs?" the man walking in front asked the boss.
The boss nodded: "Yes, yes!"
The man glanced at the envoy, then said to the boss, "Take me up!"
The boss pointed to the upstairs: "Three please!"
The three of them stepped on the Hu ladder, making loud noises.
The one-ear guard said to the special envoy, "It's so embarrassing for these three people to come!"
The envoy took a sip of hot wine: "So what if you're not embarrassed, they drink theirs, we drink ours."
The six people were drinking, and the boss came down from upstairs and handed a letter to the special envoy: "Hello, those three guest officials wanted to see you just now."
The envoy frowned, and looked at the one-ear guard. If they are acquaintances, the special envoy has no impression at all, if they say they have not met, then why do they want to meet the special envoy
One ear guard said: "Master Special Envoy, don't go up until you understand the identity of the other party!"
The envoy opened the creed, and two words were written on it: "Friends."
"He wrote friends, which means they are our friends."
Licking his teeth with one ear, he thought, "Who could it be?"
The special envoy thought about it: "It doesn't matter who he is, we'll go up and meet them, so what."
With the knife in hand, the six people were about to go upstairs, but the special envoy was stopped by the boss: "Sorry, the guest officer said just now, only you are allowed to go up!"
The special envoy was stunned: "Why?"
The boss shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know, he just told me that. He said, if there are more than two people, don't go up."
The one-eared guard said angrily: "There are people like this? My lord special envoy, don't care what they say, let's go up and meet them together!"
After saying that, he led the other four guards to rush up the Hu ladder. The envoy just wanted to stop them:
"etc!"
Before the words fell, there were only a few bangs from upstairs, the five guards yelled, two of them rolled down the ladder and fell to the ground, yelling in pain. And those three who were behind were also kicked down. A hoarse voice from upstairs said:
"I didn't say that, you are only allowed to come up alone!"
The special envoy thought to himself: If the other party wanted his life, they wouldn't have to make such a fuss, there must be something looking for him.
"You wait for me below, and you are not allowed to come upstairs without my permission, do you understand?"
The five guards were in pain, so there was no time to answer the special envoy's words. The special envoy went upstairs, and through a green curtain, he saw the three people sitting in the last pavilion. He squeezed the handle of the knife tightly, and came to the door of the pavilion:
"What do you want from me?"
The deep and hoarse voice said eeriely, "Come in and talk!"
The envoy lifted the curtain and walked in. The person facing him was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while. The man took off the felt hat, took off his false eyebrows and beard, and revealed his true face.
"Remember me?" the man laughed.
The special envoy was terrified, pointed at him, tongue tied: "Yes... it's you! You... why are you here?"
