Ning Donghuan ate voraciously, and kept praising: "I didn't expect this place in the wilderness to be crouching. A cook from a squire's family can cook meals that are not inferior to those of the 'Zhenxian Restaurant'." '. You said, if I dug this cook back to Duke Rong's mansion, wouldn't I be lucky every day from now on?"
How could Yu Xiaocao clearly say that all these dishes were cooked by herself? Isn't that revealing? She didn't want this bastard to speak to Wu Xiangshen rashly, and hurriedly said: "Actually, this dish is just like that. You are too hungry, so you think it tastes good! It's not inferior to the dishes of 'Zhenxiu Restaurant'. It’s too exaggerated!! About the cook, you’d better not open your mouth, lest people will swear in their hearts that we came out of Beijing, so ignorant!”
After rounding his stomach, Ning Donghuan wandered around the yard a few times, and finally couldn't help asking his brother Ning Donglan: "Second brother, don't you think this seemingly ordinary meal is better than ours? Are the cooks in the big kitchen okay?"
Ning Donglan secretly glanced at Yu Xiaocao, shook his head slowly, and said: "I really didn't think that this cook from the Wu family can only be considered average. Maybe if the county king said, after a day On the way, I fed the horses again, and I was hungry, and I felt very delicious when I ate anything.”
"Is there something wrong with my sense of taste? No, how could I, who has always boasted of a 'rich tongue', misjudge the delicious food?" Ning Donghuan said to himself, puzzled.
On the second day's breakfast, Ning Donghuan frowned—this kind of craftsmanship is completely different from last night, as the second brother said, it can only be regarded as mediocre. Could it be that yesterday was really a hallucination he had because he was too hungry
A group of people traveled to the mountains and rivers all the way, walking comfortably in the sunshine of spring. The team escorting the "Princess Jin'an" sometimes walked in front of them, and sometimes fell behind them. Generally speaking, the distance between the two teams will not exceed twenty or thirty miles.
"Ahead is a barren mountain, sparsely populated. After passing this mountain, there is a small town about a dozen miles away. Tonight, shall we settle in this small town? But, look at the time, we have to travel hard." Yu Xiaocao's map came into play again, the sun was already in the west, and after climbing a mountain, it was still a journey of twenty miles. If you want to settle down in the town before dark, you can't travel leisurely up.
It has been eight days since I left the capital. In other words, apart from eating and sleeping, the group spent the eight days on horseback. The freshness at the beginning has long since passed, and the pain of fatigue hit these young misses and young masters.
"Ah? I have to hurry again?? My leg is almost not my own, and my waist is about to be broken. Didn't we come out to play? Why are you in such a hurry?" He Wanning lied on the horse's back weakly, following the horse The footsteps of the child were wobbly, like defeated soldiers.
"Compared to sleeping in the wilderness, I hope to have a safe and comfortable place to rest. Hurry up, it's better than sleeping in the barren mountains. The mountain in front looks a bit evil, maybe there is What about wolves or other beasts!" Yuan Xueyan thought about the bed in the inn in the small town with soft quilts, after driving for a day, if no one can get a good night's sleep, what will she do next
The clever Yuan Xueyan knew that this trip was not as simple as going outside the customs after seeing the fake "Prince Jin'an" who could almost be mistaken for the real thing. The maidservants around the fake Jin'an County Lord have similar behaviors and behaviors to Chunhua Qiushi, so I'm afraid their identities are definitely not simple. Also, to inspect the racecourse outside the pass, you need to dispatch the Jinwu Guards for protection. It is conceivable that the journey will not be peaceful.
In addition, Sister Xiaocao has always intentionally or unintentionally arranged the footholds at a certain distance in the past few days, as if hanging a small carrot in front of them, so that they have to speed up and move forward. It seems that something must have happened at the racecourse!
"Okay! In order to be able to eat and sleep well tonight, I have worked hard!!" He Wanning gritted her teeth, lightly flicked the horsewhip at the horse below her, and galloped towards the barren mountain. A group of people hurriedly followed, and the sound of horseshoes broke the silence of the wilderness.
The barren mountain was not high, and the official road was built on the mountain wall. Although it was slightly rugged, it did not affect the horse's forward speed. On the back of the trotting horse, Ning Dong looked around happily, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know if there are pheasants and hares in this mountain. If we can hunt some game and add food, it will not be in vain for our hard work."
Yu Xiaocao couldn't help but yell at him: "Did you eat less or drink less in the past few days? Every time I arrived at the destination, I didn't eat the most and complain the most! Say this is not good, that is not good. Okay, no matter how bad it is, I never saw you miss a bite!"
"Oh... I can't help it! How can I survive the hard work every day without enough food? How can I allow myself to pick and choose? The taste is really not good, why don't people say a few words?" Ning Donghuan smashed it Smash your mouth, turned your head and said to Xiaocao, "King Guo, do you still have the shortbread you brought? Give me a Xiangxiang mouth!"
Although the spirituality of the golden emerald under Yu Xiaocao's crotch could not match Xiaohong's, it was still much stronger than ordinary horses, and it could trot smoothly on the mountain road without her controlling it. Yu Xiaocao took out a piece of sesame shortbread from her bag and let the horse approach Ning Donghuan. The two riders kept pace with each other at the same speed, and the shortbread was stuffed into Ning Donghuan's outstretched hand.
"Eat slowly, and be careful of choking! This is the last piece, and I won't want to eat it anymore!" Yu Xiaocao gave the foodie a blank look. This guy followed because he was here to make trouble. If he couldn't eat shortbread, this guy would definitely hurry and slow everyone down.
"Hey! King Guo, you're really good! You brought so many extra snacks on your trip! This time I have experience, and when I go on a long trip in the future, I should prepare more snacks that are easy to store. The shortbread is gone, you Don’t you still have jerky? Don’t hide your secrets, my eyes are bright, third master!” Ning Donghuan was still thinking about the jerky in Xiaocao’s hand while eating the shortbread.
"Hush—stop, there is a situation ahead!!" Ning Donglan, who was in the front, suddenly stopped and pulled the rein lightly, slowing down the horse's speed.
Because on the mountain road, everyone's horse speed was not very fast, and soon they stopped following Ning Donglan's movements. Ning Donghuan swallowed the last bite of shortbread, took a sip of water, and asked puzzledly, "Second brother, why did you stop suddenly?"
"Shut up!" Ning Donglan glared at him, listening intently. A gust of mountain wind blew, and the wind was mixed with faint shouts and the sound of weapons colliding. Xiaocao's five senses are more sensitive, and she can hear more clearly than others. She frowned and told Chunhua who was behind her: "Go ahead and find out. If there is something wrong, report back in time!"
"Yes!" Chunhua took the order to go. Ning Donghuan stared at her back and frowned slightly: Why does this little guard give him a familiar feeling
"Jin'an County's car driver has been in front of us today. Could it be that she was the one who had the accident?" Ning Donglan looked at Xiaocao. Fortunately, the real Jin'an County Master traveled in disguise, or she would have been the one who had the accident. Although this little girl is very smart and capable, she is just an ordinary little girl after all, she has no self-protection ability, and she will inevitably be hurt in the chaos.
When Ning Donghuan heard it, he immediately yelled: "Since Princess Jin'an was attacked, what are we waiting for? Go to the rescue!!"
Ning Donglan frowned, and gave the second brother a hard look. The target of the foreigners is among them at this time, if they rush forward now, isn't it self-inflicted? He said in a deep voice: "Jin'an County has the hidden guards sent by the emperor and hundreds of elite soldiers led by General Lu. If they can't resist, it will be futile for us to go up rashly. Besides, there are two more in our team. A girl with no strength to restrain a chicken, and a young county king. Don't act impulsively!"
"Then we can't just watch Ms. Yu being attacked like this! Ms. He, Ms. Yuan, aren't you Ms. Yu's good sisters? You shouldn't have the same blessings and the same difficulties... Oops!" Ning Donghuan didn't finish his sentence, He was slapped back with a slap.
Ning Donglan withdrew the slap that he had slapped, and snorted coldly: "What do you mean by being in trouble? Is it called being in trouble when you know that you have to die for nothing? Could it be that sending yourself up is considered a threat by the enemy?" The weight of Princess Jin'an is called sharing in difficulties? Stupid!!"
Just as he was talking, Chunhua, who went to inquire about the news, came back: "Master, the car of Princess Jin'an was besieged by a group of foreigners. However, although the enemy is tough, but the number is not large, they have been repelled by the Jinwu Guard. Jin'an County The Lord was only slightly frightened, but nothing serious."
Yu Xiaocao lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said: "Accordingly, if their target is Princess Jin'an, why did they only send so few people here, and they retreated with one blow. Wouldn't it be a surprise?"
"I think this foreigner's visit should be just a test. The purpose is to find out if there is any target they are looking for in the team. It seems that the next journey will not be so peaceful!" Ning Donglan is especially at this time I admire the person who came up with the strategy of replacing Li Zong with peaches. The pretender in front attracted the attention of the enemy, and his burden of escorting Princess Jin'an was much lighter.
He Wanning regained her energy at this moment, sat up straight, and said excitedly: "Let's catch up quickly, maybe we can meet a fleeing enemy. The old lady's whip is not a vegetarian, it will definitely make him cry mother!"
"Don't worry about it! Your flamboyant fists and embroidered legs are really on the battlefield, and they are not enough for others to pinch with a finger. Those foreigners are as strong as bears. They have no force and are cruel and tyrannical. Be quiet and don't make trouble. Already!" Ning Donghuan also learned riding and archery martial arts from his master boxer since he was a child, but he was afraid of suffering, so he was not as good as his second brother. He couldn't even look down on He Wanning's "whip technique", let alone others.
