By the time she got up and tidied up, Chou Chou and Yuan Bao were already chatting animatedly, using voice transmission of course. Just by looking at the rich body language, Qing Yan could tell that the two of them were having a good time chatting.
"Okay, we're going out. Zhao Rixin and Uncle Liu are already waiting outside. Chou Chou, are you going back to space or waiting on the carriage?"
Qingyan said to the two who were still on the bed.
Chou Chou shook his head and said, "I'm going back to the space. It's very cold outside."
After saying that, he disappeared in front of them. Yuanbao rushed to Qingyan's shoulders and squatted down. Qingyan wanted to roll up the quilt and carry it out. She took it from the carriage.
Qingyan was carrying a big fat cat on her shoulders, holding the quilt in one hand, and opened the door with the other hand. After going out, she saw Zhao Rixin and the others packing up in the carriage.
The yard is not big, and you can see it at a glance. The carriage is parked on the left side of the yard. There is a livestock shed there, and there are also other horses in it, three in total, which are used by the government servants when they go out.
The two of them turned their heads when they heard the door open, and couldn't help laughing when they saw Qingyan's appearance. Uncle Liu quickly came forward and took the quilt from her hand.
Although I had seen how tough this little girl was yesterday, when I saw such a skinny little girl holding a big quilt and a big cat on her shoulders, I still subconsciously went up to help.
Zhao Rixin also came to take over Yuan Bao. Yuan Bao was very familiar with him and did not reject him. He just nestled in his arms.
"Let's have breakfast first, and then continue on the road. The military camp is still more than ten miles away from here. The further we go, the further we go, and there will be no place to eat on the road."
Zhao Rixin said to Qingyan while moving Yuan Bao's back.
Qingyan nodded, "Should we catch the bus directly to the restaurant, or should we finish breakfast and then come back to catch the bus?"
Zhao Rixin: "Just drive there. We will go southeast in a while, which is the opposite direction from here. It will be a waste of time to come back. It is better to leave directly."
Uncle Liu helped Qingyan put the bedding into the carriage and hitched the carriage to the big bear. Then he said, "I have already gone to say hello to the officials on duty here. We can leave directly."
After saying that, he helped Zhao Rixin get into the car, and he led the horse out.
Qingyan nodded to express her understanding, took the ingot and put it into the carriage, sat on the carriage shaft and drove the carriage out of the yard behind them.
He sent a message to Chou Chou in his mind: "We are going to the Wutong Pavilion in the center of the town for dinner. The chicken there is excellent. It's a pity that Zhao Rixin and the others are here, so I can't pack it. Otherwise, I can let you try it."
Chou Chou: "It's okay. You guys will go first after dinner later. Huang Xiaowu and I will stay here to wait for Xuanniao and pack some food by the way.
The guy told me before he came that the chicken here is the most delicious. He came here to eat it secretly before, and now he can turn into a human form. He must buy more this time and eat enough at one time. "
Qingyan shook her head and laughed. Weasels liked eating chickens the most. She had forgotten about this.
In this case, she didn't care about them. Now that Chou Chou had Huang Xiaowu with her, he also liked to turn into human form and go out for walks.
It must be because she didn't have anyone to accompany her before. She is a girl after all, and her interests and hobbies are different from Chou Chou's. Now that she has like-minded people, she is much more active than before.
The three people and one cat still had breakfast in the private room on the second floor. There was no choice, there was no room in the lobby on the first floor.
Qingyan has good ears and can hear the conversations of people downstairs without using her spiritual sense. Most of the people who come here are coming to catch the Plum Market, and a few of them are here in advance to wait for the Taofu Market next month. Make a fortune before the end of the year.
Qingyan lamented that the Song Dynasty was indeed the most economically developed dynasty. Looking at how economically savvy these businessmen were, it also showed from the side that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
If the later emperors were not too incompetent, they would not have fallen to that point if they were a little bloody. You must know that the Song Dynasty had many loyal ministers and good generals, but the emperor was too stretched.
After eating, they left Chenliu Town, and nothing happened until they reached the military camp. It seemed that the other party had prepared two groups of people, but they didn't know if there were any of the other party's people at the military camp.
As a woman, Qingyan cannot enter the military camp casually, but if she wants to protect Zhao Rixin, she must stay with him. If there is someone lurking in the military camp, she will be beyond her reach.
So I dressed up in disguise and wore a men's suit I bought before. Fortunately, my current hairstyle is not like the bald man in the Qing Dynasty. It can be used by both men and women.
Her facial features are somewhat similar to her father's, so it is not inconsistent to dress up in men's clothing. In addition, her eyes are firm and not as soft as that of a boudoir girl. She is a graceful and beautiful young man.
Zhao Rixin had documents on his hands. The guarding soldiers checked the carriage and let it go after confirming that there were no Tibetans. They drove the carriage directly into the military camp.
Some soldiers went to report before, but a general came out to greet them halfway. After all, they were princes, and the generals did not dare to neglect them.
"When the second prince arrived, Chen was a little far away to greet him. I hope His Highness will not be surprised."
The burly general strode towards Zhao Rixin with a hearty smile on his face.
Zhao Rixin stepped forward to help him, "Uncle Chen, what are you talking about? We haven't seen each other for a while and you are so out of touch. Huanqing and I are as close as brothers. You are my elder. How can a junior come and let the elder Come out to greet..."
Afterwards, General Chen said hello to Qingyan and Uncle Liu, and took them into the largest courtyard in the military camp. This was not a temporary camp, so it was not a tent like the border. It was a courtyard built here.
Qingyan took a look with her consciousness, and saw that many barracks were filled with big shops. It was now ninety o'clock in the morning, and there was no one in the barracks. They were all training outside.
She also went to the training ground to take a look. Although there were not as many kinds of training equipment as in later generations, and the movements were not so neat, they were still very powerful when wielding the weapons in their hands.
Zhao Rixin followed General Chen into the study. Qingyan and Uncle Liu did not follow him. They sat in a nearby room drinking tea and waiting.
After all, it's official business, so it's not good for them to go in and listen, in case it's confidential.
Uncle Liu was afraid that she would be bored, so he told her about General Chen. It turned out that the general stationed here was Chen Huanqing's father. No wonder Zhao Rixin was so familiar with him.
Zhao Rixin came here ostensibly to supervise the defense changes here, but in fact he wanted to send a secret order from the emperor to General Chen. The Chen family was considered the emperor's confidant and someone he trusted.
Qingyan didn't listen to their conversation, and focused on her conversation with Uncle Liu, lest she hear something she shouldn't because her ears were too good.
By the time Zhao Rixin and the two came out, it was already more than an hour later.
General Chen followed Zhao Rixin, looked at Qingyan, and said with admiration: "I didn't expect you to be a little girl. This is so lifelike. I really can't tell. You also have good kung fu. His Highness is safe thanks to you. ”
Qingyan stood up and said with a smile: "The general is so complimentary. This is what I should do. Not everyone has the opportunity to come here to see the general and his soldiers."
General Chen burst out laughing again, "Hahahahaha... the little girl is really good at talking. This is different for those who have seen the world. When I return to Beijing, I want to let Wen'er go out more. That child is locked up by her mother." The house is closed and dull.”
Zhao Rixin also said: "What Uncle Chen said is that Wen'er is too quiet now, which is very different from before. I almost didn't recognize her last time I saw her."
Chen Wen is the youngest daughter of General Chen, who is also the younger sister of Chen Huanqing. She is very popular at home, but Mrs. Chen wants to raise her up to be a lady. Originally a lively little girl, she is now suppressed and a little too quiet.
The few of them chatted for a while, and it was almost noon. They definitely couldn't leave today. Uncle Liu just told Qingyan that they would stay here for at least one day, and they could leave tomorrow. Of course, they could stay one more day, and stay with her. General Chen, who left after changing defenses, returned to Beijing together.
As soon as Qingyan heard that they could follow General Chen back to Beijing, she thought of going their separate ways.
If he goes back with General Chen, she will definitely not be needed. After all, the general cannot go back alone. Even though it is not far, he still has to go back with his own men to protect him. He cannot be a polished commander.
Zhao Rixin's personal safety should be guaranteed by then, and since the other party had already taken action before, King Jin must have arrested someone, and the return trip should be much safer.
If it were just Zhao Rixin and Uncle Liu, Qingyan might not be at ease. After all, the kung fu of these two people was better, but Uncle Liu's was better and could deal with four or five. Zhao Rixin was really not that good.
Just like before, if you encounter more than ten or twenty people, it will be difficult for you to defeat four people with just one fist, and they will definitely not be able to do it.
And if there are General Chen and others, and they are on their way back, the other party may not dare to take action again. After all, they can only mobilize a dozen or twenty people at most. If more are mobilized, it will be too conspicuous.
This is near the capital, so there will definitely be people watching if there is any big move.
So she told Zhao Rixin that they might as well stay one more day and return to Beijing with General Chen. She would not go back. Anyway, she had already said goodbye to the Queen and Xue Minghua, so she would leave directly from here.
Although Zhao Rixin knew that she would leave sooner or later, he was still very reluctant to leave. He once again tried to persuade her to stay in the capital for a few more days and wait until the Plum City was over before leaving. By then, there would be more people on the road and it would be safer.
Qingyan refused directly, and told him that she wanted to find her parents quickly and go home to celebrate the New Year, so that he could not force him to stay. She only said that he could not leave for at least these two days, and that they would leave the military camp together when the time came.
Qingyan agreed to this request. After all, Chou Chou and the others had not come back yet and were still with Chen Liu.
When she left today, she also went to the town to meet them. Otherwise, it would be better to wait here. Anyway, it was only two days, and she also wanted to observe this ancient military camp and experience what life in the ancient military camp was like.
This kind of opportunity may not come in the future, so I stayed.
This place is different from the military camp life in Qingyan's mind. After all, the military camp life in her imagination is either living in a tent, eating a big pot of rice with everyone, and practicing together, or living in a dormitory with many people like in later generations. of bunk beds.
Here, to be honest, it is no different from anywhere else. Except for the sounds of soldiers training to kill in the morning, noon and evening, the vibration of many people walking, and the noise during meals and breaks, it is similar to other places.
After all, there are so many people, even if they are not walking in unison, they can still feel the shock.
Then there is the rest time. These soldiers are all men, some have lively personalities, and they chat loudly, which makes them a bit noisy.
While everyone else was eating from a big pot, they were brought here alone, so they ate alone with General Chen in the courtyard.
Qingyan went out with Zhao Rixin and General Chen to inspect the training of the soldiers, but apart from getting the attention of many people, it was no different from what she saw in her consciousness.
It's not that she resumed women's clothing, but even if she wore men's clothing, her face was too fair. Even if she smeared it a little, it was still fairer than the prince Zhao Rixin.
After all, she is a woman, and she grew up drinking spiritual spring water. Even if it is tarnished, she is still tender and smooth.
Although Zhao Rixin's face is fair, he does not give people the impression of being sickly and weak, but rather of a noble man.
This group of soldiers was well-proportioned. They were all dark-skinned, and occasionally some were lighter in color and were bronze in color. Of course, it was strange to see them, so they couldn't help but look over and salute them with attention.
On the first night of living in the military camp, Chou Chou and the others didn't come back, but they sent her a message saying that the black bird had found a place.
It's just that there are restrictions there, and it takes time to break the formation. After the formation is broken, go in and explore with her, and make sure you don't take her with you.
Qingyan felt relieved. She was still thinking about going treasure hunting. She originally thought she would have to wait a few days to leave, but on the third day the general who changed defenses came over.
General Chen had already prepared. After all, the time for changing defenses was fixed, so he had already prepared in advance. He quickly completed the handover with General Han, who came to change defenses, and then prepared to leave.
It's not noon yet. If we hurry up, we can return to the capital in the evening.
They didn't stay at the military camp for long, and left directly. General Chen and his thirty subordinates were riding horses, while Zhao Rixin and Qingyan were still driving carriages.
Many soldiers lined up in the open space to see him off. After all, they still had feelings for each other after getting along for several years. General Chen reluctantly said goodbye to all the soldiers for a long time before embarking on his return journey.
When Qingyan arrived at Chenliu Town, she parted ways with them. Zhao Rixin gave some reluctant instructions and also hugged Yuanbao and told him to protect Qingyan and leave the safety on the road to it. , Qingyan was amused for a while.
After talking for more than half an hour, she separated from them. After that, she went to the previous restaurant for lunch. While eating, she was waiting for Chou Chou and Huang Xiaowu. She had already communicated with them and made an appointment. Wait here.
Xuanniiao has cracked the formation, but he can't go hunting for treasures right away. He will come over here and have lunch first. As for picking up the things, he has to wait until night. After all, it is inconvenient to see many people during the day.
