The Badiya Kingdom has a vast territory, almost occupying the entire northern part of the Tianlan Empire.
As a nomadic northern nation, Badia has the most combative army in Daxizhou. It was invincible back then, and once had the potential to win Daxizhou.
It's a pity that the destiny is not on the side of the Badiya royal family. Five saints have risen one after another, and none of them is related to Badiya.
Sixty years ago, the Kingdom of Badia and the Kingdom of Tianlan had a decisive battle in the Sunset Canyon. The accomplished Chen Tiangang stood alone at the exit of the canyon. He punched "Shattering the Void" and severely injured the most elite knights in Badia. The pattern is doomed.
The Tianlan Kingdom was promoted to an empire, and Badia could only settle in a corner, becoming a vassal kingdom of the Tianlan Empire.
Today's Badia Kingdom directly governs thirty-six earldoms and five principalities, accounting for a quarter of the entire Tianlan Empire.
The route of Lin Shuo's team was to pass through the thirty-six counties under the direct control of the Kingdom of Badia. The most important stop on the way was the city of Badia, the capital of the kingdom.
The city of Badia is also an important border town of the Tianlan Empire. Not far away is the Spring City of the Mingyue Empire. The two cities face each other across a river. This big river is the border between Tianlan and Mingyue.
There are rumors that the Badia Kingdom has secretly communicated with the Mingyue Empire for the song, and is planning to change its banner.
Of course, this is just a legend. Both the Tianlan Empire and the Badia Kingdom have refuted the rumors, and killed many people who spread the rumors.
For this trip, Lin Shuo rushed fast.
Because he learned from the rear that Su Nianqiu should have completed China's state visit to the Lie Sun Empire, led the team to leave the capital of the Lie Sun Empire, and was on their way to the northwest.
Although the traveling speed was not fast, the overall progress was ahead of Lin Shuo.
In order not to keep Mrs. Lin's family waiting for a long time, Lin Shuo naturally had to be a little faster.
It's just that this team is not a pure hunting team.
Inheritance hunters have to get used to such a hurry, so it's not a big problem.
People led by Lin Shuo have a lot of careers. There are hunters, assassins, actors, noble ladies, and religious figures.
For three days in a row, they had to hurry and drive slowly, the carriage was bumpy, the wind was blowing, they were eating and sleeping in the open, and some people couldn't bear it.
The former cardinal archbishop of the Holy See in Europe, the current head of the Teutonic Knights, knight-brained priest body, Tang Kede, is ill.
Speaking of Tang Kede and Ponweather, although their minds are not so clear, Tang Kede is particularly fond of showing off, but with Ponweather's persuasion, the overall situation is okay.
People are afraid of comparing each other, they are all parties in the business, compared to Artemis, who is cheating and threatening Lin Shuo, they let Lin Shuo worry a lot.
I didn't make much trouble along the way, and followed the big team honestly.
When Tang Kede was boarding the ship before, he fell into the sea, and he was frightened and caught a cold. In fact, it was the root cause of his illness.
Ponweather used the means of a priest on him and said he was cured, but the situation of Ponweather the priest was similar to that of the knight Tang Kede. It was just a silver-like pewter tip, which was useless at all.
During the past few days, with the rush of travel, the carriage bumped during the day and the cold wind blew at night, Tang Kede fell ill. He had a high fever for days and his eyes were so swollen that he couldn't open them.
Miao Chengyun made a diagnosis and gave an explanation from two aspects of traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine.
According to modern medicine, this person was invaded by a virus, and his eyelids were swollen. This was a liver infection, which is no small matter. The antibiotics brought by the expedition team were useless.
If there is no advanced diagnostic and treatment equipment to determine what kind of virus it is, people can only wait to die.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, this can be classified as wind-cold. Once the prescription is prescribed, try it and see if you can survive it.
Pang Weiser cried like a tearful person, and begged Lin Shuo to find a nearby town to get Tang Kede the medicine.
Anyway, it's a human life, Lin Shuo must save it.
But he is not good at healing. Moreover, the herbal medicines in Daxizhou are too different from Huaxia, so it can only be said that they are roughly similar, but the names and production techniques are different. Miao Chengyun has to go to the pharmacy to identify them, and even have to make according to the raw materials.
So everyone stopped at a place more than 30 miles away from Badia City, a small town called Fulong Town.
The name is grand, but the place is small, surrounded by farmland, and the town is only the size of three streets.
Everyone settled down in a small inn. Miao Chengyun took Pang Weiser to grab the medicine, and Lin Shuo looked after Tang Kede for a while before being kicked out by Wei Xingshan and Yang Baokun.
It is said that the disease may be contagious. Lin Shuo has been "overworked" every night recently, and his immunity must be weakened. Don't get infected later, and the team has no leader.
Lin Shuo couldn't laugh or cry, but he could only obey the arrangement, and went back to the inn to find his wife, but found that the real wife and the fake wife were not there.
As soon as he smelled it, Lin Shuo knew where they were.
Women love to go shopping, even if there are only three streets here, they don't want to let it go, so they go shopping together, not far from here.
Lin Shuo looked in the room and found that the money bag was there, but neither Su Dongdong nor Artemis had it.
He thought to himself that there is no way to go shopping without spending money, so he went out with a money bag, intending to send it to his wife.
Lin Shuo was not in a hurry when people walked to the street. He walked slowly, looked around, and found that the place was actually not bad.
Although it is smaller, the town has the style of a small town.
The architectural layout is definitely unscientific, with winding alleys and alleys.
But pick a red lantern here, hang a string of cured meat there, moss is spread on the stone slab, and the door knocker has a patina.
When people step into it, they can feel the rich breath of life, which is very interesting.
Following the smell, Lin Shuo knew that Su Dongdong and Artemis were in a rouge shop in the next street.
The scent of rouge and gouache almost overwhelmed their scent.
And since he could smell Su Dongdong's scent, Su Dongdong must have heard his own footsteps.
The couple have the ability to know that each other is nearby without meeting each other.
And at this moment, a strange fragrance entered Lin Shuo's nose, and Lin Shuo stopped immediately.
This is meaty and braised.
The leader of the hunting gate usually doesn't have any other hobbies, so he just eats with one bite.
There are two types of food for him, one is like griffin meat, including the roast beef at home before, it is mainly used for filling the stomach, as long as the taste can be swallowed, it is not so particular.
But his real hobby is another kind, which has nothing to do with the amount of food. It is a small taste that needs to be savored carefully, such as eating seafood from the East China Sea with Shaoxing Huadiao wine.
Now that the smell of fleshy nose came in, the greedy worms in Lin Shuo's stomach were hooked out.
The marinade was well matched, and some spices should be special products here, Lin Shuo hadn't smelled them before.
What's even more strange is the smell of the meat itself. The smell of this kind of meat is a bit like donkey meat, but it shouldn't be a donkey, it seems more delicious.
After distinguishing the smell, Lin Shuo has already found the place.
Just at the entrance of this alley, there is a wooden signboard hanging outside, which says "Fulong Noodle House".
Su Dongdong should know that he is here, and he can also hear the clinking of gold coins in the money bag on his waist, and he will naturally find it when he needs to spend money.
So Lin Shuo decided to eat a bowl of noodles.
When he got closer, Lin Shuo found that the shop was not big, just a front door, and there were a total of three brown wooden tables, which could not seat many people.
Someone was already eating noodles inside, and the aroma that Lin Shuo smelled just now came from this person's bowl.
At this moment, the smell is gone, because he is drinking the noodle soup with a bowl in his hand, and the meat that originally covered the noodles has already been eaten.
And on the table in front of this person, there was a lacquer lunch box, which seemed to be well sealed, and Lin Shuo couldn't smell anything inside.
So Lin Shuo understood that the smell of meat just now was not from the store, but from the person's own, it was in this lunch box, and he took it out and added it to the noodles when eating.
The store itself sells vegetarian noodle soup, a handful of green onions and three drops of sesame oil, and there is no meat at all.
The leader of the hunting gate sucked his teeth, thinking that this matter is too much trouble, so if it is over, he will stop eating and send money to his wife.
Just as Lin Shuo was about to leave, the noodle eaters put down their bowls.
This is a middle-aged man with a square head and big ears, a pair of protruding ears, the earlobes almost drooping to the shoulders.
This is a strange person with a strange appearance, so Lin Shuo took another look, of course he only looked with his eyes, and did not poke out his divine sense.
There are many practitioners in Daxizhou, and it is equivalent to spying on other people's cultivation by using spiritual thoughts. It is not necessary to do so if you want to do it.
When Lin Shuo was looking at the man, the man was also looking at Lin Shuo.
The two sides looked at each other, and the man looked a little puzzled and asked, "Do you eat noodles?"
"I wanted to eat it, but now I don't want to." Lin Shuo said.
"Why?" The man pointed to himself, "Because I'm here?"
"No." Lin Shuo shook his head, "Excuse me, please leave."
"Oh, I see, you smell meat." The man smiled, "Come, come, let's eat together."
After finishing speaking, the man rushed inside and said, "Shopkeeper, another bowl of noodles."
While talking, the man reached out and opened the lunch box in front of him, and the smell of meat immediately spread out.
Lin Shuo was a little embarrassed at first and wanted to leave, but he was nailed in place by the scent.
"Don't be dazed, come in." The man smiled, "You are a smart guy."
Lin Shuo burst into laughter, stepped into the noodle shop, sat down opposite this person, and asked, "What's your name, Xiongtai?"
"My name is Emperor Wang." The man introduced himself, "I am not the brother of a brother, but the emperor of the emperor."
The corner of Lin Shuo's mouth twitched, he nodded in praise and said, "Good name."
"What's your name brother?"
"My name is Lin Shuo."
After the two introduced each other, the noodles were served.
Lin Shuo first picked up his bowl of noodles with chopsticks to prevent the noodles from becoming clumpy, and then waited for this man named Wang Di to pick up the meat from the lunch box.
The lunch box is now open, right under Lin Shuo's nose, the smell is pungent.
Not only is it fragrant, but the color is also good. This is red bittern, and it is also sealed with sesame oil, which is bright red.
There was a lot of meat in the lunch box, and there was still more than half of the box. Wang Di picked up a thin piece of it with chopsticks, carefully put it into Lin Shuo's bowl, and said:
"This meat is made by my wife herself. Every time I go out, she will make me a piece and let me take it with me. She said that I am eating meat outside, so don't forget my family."
Lin Shuo felt a lot of emotion when he heard this, and said, "My wife often cooks meat for me too. There is a gap between her skills and Mrs. Madam's, but she has the same heart."
"En." The emperor nodded, stretched out his hand, and said, "Please taste."
Lin Shuo looked at the meat in the bowl, and thought to himself that it was only one piece of meat, and this man was stingy enough.
But it was free, and there was nothing to praise or criticize, so Lin Shuo picked up the chopsticks and ate the meat.
Put it in your mouth and chew it slowly, this man's wife is really good at craftsmanship, this stewed material has a lot of knowledge, and the fragrance is bursting out layer by layer.
The meat itself is also good. After eating, the smell of spices dissipates, and the umami taste of the meat itself rises, and the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes.
Convinced, Lin Shuo nodded, "It's delicious in the world."
"It's all for you." The emperor pushed the lunch box in front of Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo was startled, then reached into the money bag and took out a gold coin.
The leader of the hunting gate, of course, can't really eat others for nothing.
The man opposite waved his hand and said with a smile, "Brother Lin, take the money back."
Lin Shuo frowned: "How dare you?"
"It's just a few pieces of meat, just treat it as a friend."
After the man said this, his figure slowly began to blur, and then disappeared from Lin Shuo's sight.
