Zhu Bai and the others took back their belt items, Yan Ling Dao, hand blunderbuss, and fire blunderbuss from the Gansu Guard Commander. Only then did they feel as if the original god had returned to his place, and he felt at peace in his heart.
Zhu Bai held the "I am here in person" gold medal and said to Zhang Yu and others with a smile: "This is still more useful."
"No, it's really thrilling this time." Zhang Yu sighed, then remembered the doubts that had been lingering in his heart, and asked, "How can His Highness be so sure that Wu Na Shili will go to Guazhou City to meet you."
Zhu Bai grinned: "Because Huo Sanniang told me that she has a sister who runs an inn in Guazhou City and asked us to stay there."
Zhang Yu and the others suddenly realized.
Huo Erniang has always emphasized, "Melon, melon. Hami's melon is the best."
If someone brings melons, isn't he from Hami?
If he still carries Hetian jade with him, isn't that just Wunasili who calls himself the king?
Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment and then said, "How did Huo Sanniang figure out His Highness's identity?"
They had even fooled Wang Baobao, how could they be seen out by a woman they had only met once?
Zhu Bai sighed: "She didn't see it at first. But that night when you went to pay homage to Mr. Li, she saw you, and then she roughly guessed our identities after thinking about it."
Zhang Yu: "How does she know where Mr. Li is buried?"
Zhu Bai: "She didn't know it at first. She found out once she asked someone to follow you. I guess it was her parents or she who felt compassion and bribed people to let Li Guang and others out of the city."
The reason why Li Guang was so kind to Huo Erniang was because he owed the Huo family a big favor.
Zhang Yu suddenly realized: Huo Sanniang and Huo Erniang were Wuna's spies who were placed in Daming and Guazhou.
Zhu Bai smiled at him, motioned him to be silent, and said, "It's rare to be confused."
Even if Huo Sanniang is arrested, Wuna Shili will send someone else.
Not to mention Suzhou, even Yingtian and Hezhou guards might have spies who were out of touch.
Otherwise, how could Wunasili calculate the time of Zhu Bai's arrival so accurately?
Even if Sister Huo Erniang is an unlucky spy, she can still be used by him in the future. So why bother trying to expose it at the expense of others and not yourself?
-----
Li Jinglong's men only had cotton-padded jackets, which could not withstand the biting cold wind from the northwest.
Therefore, they wished to go slowly, and it was best to wait until the weather was warmer before going, and not rush Li Jinglong at all.
By the time Li Jinglong finally regained his strength, it was already half a month later that he set off from the inn to Hezhou.
Now there is no need to chase Zhu Bai. He is not going as fast as he did on the first or second day.
If you rest six or seven times a day, you can only walk more than a hundred miles at most.
Fortunately, he thought the Guanya Bureau Inn was shabby before, so it turned out that he had wrongly blamed Zhu Bai.
After all, the inn still has a bed made of fir and a small brick building, and all basic daily necessities are also available.
There is already a Datongpu in Fengxiang Guardhouse.
And the further north you go, the worse the conditions at the guard station become.
When he arrived at Gongchang Health Center, Li Jinglong knew what "bad conditions" meant.
They are all simple houses made of stone and mud. They are drafty and emit a strange smell that I don't know what it is.
In addition to the bed, there is only a table carved from stone and a bed made of two wooden boards placed on the stone.
There was no mattress, just a layer of straw.
Li Jinglong went in and took a look, immediately turned around and came out, asking the commander: "Is there any better room?"
The commander said: "This is the best."
Li Jinglong refused to give up: "Where will Prince Xiang stay when he comes here?"
The commander said: "The King of Xiang also lives in this room."
Li Jinglong: "Where does the commander live?"
The commander said helplessly: "Next door."
Li Jinglong said: "Commander, please forgive me. We will change rooms tonight. We will leave tomorrow."
The commander cursed in his heart, but because of Li Wenzhong's face and the difficulty of falling out, he could only say: "As long as Mr. Li is happy."
Li Jinglong forced the commander to change rooms, only to find that the commander's room was actually similar.
For dinner, the commander asked someone to make hot porridge and pickles for Li Jinglong and the others.
Li Jinglong looked at it and frowned: "Is this for human consumption?"
The commander choked up: Damn it, are you talking human language?
Do you know that the health centers grow their own food to support themselves? Now is the time of drought. How difficult is it to get some food?
You don't like the steaming porridge, so what more do you want?
Zhu Bai and the others also ate this when they came, without any complaints, and even left a cart of grain for me.
If it weren't for Zhu Bai, you wouldn't even be able to drink the porridge.
Li Jinglong: "Forget it, let's make do with it. Get some hot water for me to wash up."
The conductor said gruffly: "No."
Li Jinglong frowned: "Why not? If you can cook porridge, you can also boil hot water."
The commander said: "Use all the firewood when cooking porridge. If Mr. Li wants hot water, he has to go out to collect firewood and fetch water for boiling."
Li Jinglong: "You bastard. How can I help you boil hot water for me?"
He was about to speak when an unknown beast suddenly howled outside and it sounded like someone was crying.
He looked horrified and asked, "What is this sound?"
The commander said: "Wolves. Sometimes there are also tigers."
Li Jinglong's hair stood up: Damn it, there are still these things.
The commander said: "Master Li, it is better not to run around at night and rest early."
After saying that, he was too lazy to pay attention to Li Jinglong.
They are all from Yingtian, and they are still doing the same thing, so why are they so different?
Even as a prince, Zhu Bai was much more considerate and sensible than Li Jinglong.
Really, I would have known better to ignore this dandy Li Jinglong.
Li Jinglong soon discovered that there was not even a latrine, let alone hot water.
I have to go to the wild to find a place to relieve myself.
Li Jinglong had never experienced such hardship before. He could only ask a guard to accompany him.
When he was peeing, he always felt like something in the bushes was staring at him, and he couldn't urinate more and more.
After finally lying down on that simple bed, something screamed in the wild outside.
The screams of "wow wah wah" made him frightened and couldn't sleep at all.
Coming out of Gongchang Guardhouse, Li Jinglong cursed.
In fact, when he thought about how the conditions might be even worse later, he was already giving up.
But we are already here. If we look back and get scolded by Lao Zhu, we can only grit our teeth and move forward.
There is a canyon in front. Li Jinglong's guard leader said: "Your Highness, this place is dangerous. Should we stop and observe. Or go around the cliff."
Li Jinglong: "What's so sinister? I am the son of Li Wenzhong, the first general of the Ming Dynasty. I can't fight anyone who comes."
The guards looked at each other.
Li Wenzhong was able to fight because he brought hundreds of thousands of people with him.
Moreover, we also need to talk about the art of war and tactics.
Looking at a place where it is easy to be ambushed, do you insist on breaking in? Isn't this looking for death?
This Li Jinglong is really bad at everything, bragging about being number one.
