The dark clouds lead the way, and the four of them are all riding the fastest BMWs that can travel thousands of miles a day.
However, traveling at night is no better than during the day, especially at night, when you are facing the cold wind, so you can travel 700 miles in one night.
At dawn on the second day, the four of them ate a few steamed buns at a small bun shop, drank two bowls of hot soup, and fed the horses with fodder to make them full. After a short rest, they continued on their way.
After the new year in the capital, spring has entered. Although the weather is cold in spring, it is still cold, but there is no snow in the past few days. After a few days, the cold snap will pass and it will be warmer. However, the further north you go, it is much colder than the capital. The wind is like a knife.
The four of them took out their packages, changed into thick cloaks, ate a bowl of noodles at an equally unremarkable small shop on the way, and continued on their way.
After walking like this day and night, he has traveled 1,500 miles.
At 10 o'clock in the evening on this day, An Shiliu saw that Yun Chi had no intention of resting. In fact, he and An Shiqi also wanted to find Huayan sooner, but they rode fast horses for a day and night, and they had already covered fifteen hundred miles. If they continued walking without stopping, although they could bear it, but considering that Yun Chi had been tired for many days, they might not be able to bear it.
Even if he could bear it, he would fall down in front of the young master with a "bang" when he saw the young master.
Besides, horses can't stand it, it's a trivial matter to ride two horses to death, but the key point is that these four horses are all good horses.
So, An Shiliu began to persuade, "Your Highness, let's stay in the town ahead for a night."
Yun Chi reined in the horse's reins, stopped and looked at the town in front of him, his robes were rattling by the cold wind, he also knew that if he continued like this, he might fall to the ground from exhaustion, even if his body was made of iron, After all, I've been tired for a long time, it's time to take a rest. So, he nodded, "OK."
An Shiliu breathed a sigh of relief, so he went to the town ahead to do some research, found an inconspicuous inn, and booked it all up.
Yun Chi's identity should not be publicized, so naturally everything should be kept simple.
After An Shiliu got ready, Yun Chi entered the town, and the four of them settled in this inn.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, and having meals, Yun Chi lay on the bed. Although he was very tired, he couldn't fall asleep. He thought about resting every day and night. If he traveled day and night like this, it would take five days at the earliest to reach the Wilderness Mountain.
I hope he comes soon, and I hope Su Zizhe didn't expect that he would leave Beijing and Zhongzhong to find him.
He forced himself to fall asleep, and after a while, he really fell asleep.
Yun An slept in Yun Chi's outer room, and when he heard Yun Chi fall asleep, he fell asleep too, but it was a light sleep.
An Shiliu and An Shiqi's room was next to Yunchi's, and they fell asleep after talking a few words.
In the middle of the night, there was movement outside, as if someone called the door, which woke up Yun Chi, Yun An, An Shiliu, and An Shiqi.
Yun An immediately got up, came to the window, and looked out by the night light outside.
An Shiliu and An Shiliu also stood up together, lying on the window and looking out.
Yun Chi lay still on the bed, even though he woke up, his eyes were still closed.
The store owner was woken up, put on his clothes and hurried to the door, instead of opening the door, he said to the outside, "The store is closed tonight, please find another place to be objective."
A woman's voice came from outside, "Shopkeeper, we have a lot of people. This town is too small, and several inns are full. I heard that this place has been booked up as an inn. There are not many guests. There should be vacant rooms. Can you ask the storekeeper to talk to us?" The honored guest makes a discussion, and the young lady is willing to give out more of the money that the honored guest has entrusted, and only need to allocate the remaining rooms."
The shopkeeper hesitated, "This customer has already booked a small shop, obviously there is no shortage of silver taels, isn't it good?"
"It's convenient to go out. Please ask the shopkeeper." The woman is very polite, "If the distinguished guest is unwilling, the young lady will not force it."
The shopkeeper nodded when he heard the words, "Then just wait a moment." After speaking, he came to the room where An Shiliu lived, yelled twice, and asked aloud, saying that it was a woman, and she couldn't bear to sleep on the street so late at night. Come to ask.
An Shiliu naturally disagreed, women dared to walk at night so late at night, so there was nothing they could bear. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a noble status, so he went out of Beijing secretly, so he naturally wanted to avoid trouble. He was about to say no, when Yun Chi's voice came from the next door. Although it was very low, An Shiliu could hear him clearly, and only heard Yun Chi say, "I agree."
An Shiliu was puzzled, but thinking that His Royal Highness must have a reason, he said to the shopkeeper, "Okay."
The store owner is a good man, and seeing An Shiliu's agreement, he was also happy, "They are all away from home. It is convenient for the distinguished guests to travel with others, and it is also convenient for you to travel with yourself." After speaking, he walked to the door, opened the door, and saw at a glance, outside Standing a woman and seven or eight guards.
The woman is very young and looks like a girl. Under the torches held by the guards, it can be seen that she has a beautiful appearance, a slender figure, and a thin and fair skin. Beauty, you shouldn't have appeared in this cold and desolate place in the north so late at night.
Although the owner of the store is quite old, he took a second look, cupped his hands, and asked tentatively, "Miss, can you stay alone, or these people will stay together? The store has few places, and there are only three rooms left. Not so many people."
"I have a room by myself, and they can squeeze in a room together." The woman spoke softly, "Thank you for the store's accommodation."
The shopkeeper nodded and waved his hand, "It's not that the old man is accommodating, it's the guests who are staying overnight who nodded in agreement. If the girl wants to thank you, I will thank the guests tomorrow."
The woman nodded and said hello, then stepped into the yard, and was led by the shopkeeper to the two vacant rooms.
Because it was late at night, the woman didn't bother to ask for hot water to take a bath, she simply washed her face and rested.
Soon, this place became quiet and there was no movement.
An Shiliu thought for a while, and asked Yunchi secretly through sound transmission, "Your Highness only agreed because the woman's voice came from Lingnan. Do you need your subordinates to check the identity of this woman? Earlier, when your subordinates were looking for a store to check in, this Although the town is not big, there are also five or six inns. The weather is cold, the ground has just thawed, and there are not many businesses coming and going at this time of year, so the inns are almost empty. The inns are full, could it be a caravan from Lingnan?"
Yun Chi let out a "hmm", and returned to An Shiliu through the same voice transmission, "I also have this intention, let's check it out."
An Shiliu got the word, and said to An Shiqi, "You and I will investigate separately, and we will act faster."
An Shiqi nodded, rested in the middle of the night, and became refreshed, so he had no objections.
The two had high martial arts skills, and they quietly left the room door and the courtyard without making the slightest movement, and naturally they did not disturb the woman and the seven or eight guards brought by the woman.
Yun Chi didn't get enough sleep, and now he felt drowsy, and soon fell asleep again.
Half an hour later, An Shiliu and An Shiqi came back together, instead of going back to their own room, they came to Yun Chi's room and entered the outer room.
Seeing the two of them coming back, Yun An took a look at them and knew that they might have found something, otherwise they would not have come to His Highness's room.
An Shiliu shook the cold air on his body, and called out in a low voice, "Your Highness"
Yun Chi woke up, sat up, "Come in."
An Shiliu and An Shiqi entered the back room together, and under the moonlight, An Shiliu bowed and said, "Your Highness, this group of people is indeed a caravan from Lingnan, and they are in the cloth business, but the goods in the box are Not all of them are cloth, but weapons are privately manufactured with the help of cloth, and all the weapons are wrapped in the cloth.”
Yun Chi's expression darkened, and he asked, "How many weapons and what kind of weapons are there?"
"Crossbow arrows." An Shiliu said.
"There are twenty cars and more than a hundred guards." An Shiliu took the words.
"Who is the identity of the woman?" Yun Chi asked coldly.
Southern Chu is very strict about the control of weapons. The iron ore is owned by the state, and private manufacturing of weapons is not allowed. Twenty carts of crossbow arrows are not a small amount. Obviously, some people privately manufactured weapons and used the cloth business to hide their eyes and ears.
However, Su Zizhe raised 200,000 private soldiers in the north, and now that someone privately makes weapons and transports them, he is not so angry. But because he was from Lingnan, he couldn't help thinking of Lingnan Palace.
Earlier, it was found out that the Lingnan Prince’s Mansion was connected with the Li Wang’s Mansion in southern Xinjiang, and used the tea business to make private salt. Now, whether this crossbow is a weapon made by the Lingnan Palace or whether the Lingnan Palace wants to rebel or follow Su Zizhe to rebel
"It hasn't been found out yet." An Shiliu whispered, "Unless you went to the woman's room and stole her waist badge, but the waist badge that is a symbol of status should be kept close to your body when you go out. After all, there is a marriage contract, it is not suitable, and Shi Qi is not going to die, so it is not easy to find out as soon as possible."
An Shiqi glared at An Shiliu, even if it was an extraordinary period, he would not do such things as touching a woman's waist card and breaking into a woman's boudoir.
Yun Chi frowned. It was indeed not a gentleman's job to check a woman's identity like this, but was he a gentleman? If a woman dared to make weapons to escort her, he dared to let her die without knowing how. So, he looked at Yun An and ordered, "Yun An, you go."
Yun An stared at Yun Chi silently for a long while, then said yes in a low voice, then turned around and left.
An Shiliu and An Shiqi were stunned, and for a moment, they sympathized with Yun An together. The leader of Taizu's dark guard was indeed very effective after hard work, and they couldn't compare to them.
