The journey south is like the growth of summer seedlings. In just five days, the scenery around the traveler changes from late spring to midsummer.
Because the cultivation of the three of them was not enough, and Qin Feng wanted to rush back to meet Uncle Du's people, they could only follow the cavalry at the post station to provide fresh food, and entered the Suzhou border in less than five days.
It's just that the three and a half-year-old children can't stand this whole horse race.
It was okay for Qin Feng to be stationed at the border with his parents when he was young, but the other two suffered a lot. Lian Gouyi finally hid himself in the painting and let Qin Feng run away with the painting. Although his spiritual energy was exhausted in the whole day, it was still more enjoyable than the jolting experience right away.
Wei Xi had no choice but to clean up the mess that Lian Gouyi left behind. He told the people in the cavalry team that Lian Gouyi was ill and had stayed in an inn at night.
When they arrived in Suzhou, the consignment team continued southward, and the three people from Wei and Xi parted ways with the cavalry team.
After watching the cavalry leave, Wei Xi pulled out the painting from Qin Feng's bag, pretending to tear it apart, and hurriedly got out of the painting with hooks and claws.
"What are you doing! I'm tired too, okay!" Lian Gouzi's good looks were lost due to the consumption of spiritual energy for days, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Are you still hiding? I have to pay extra for you!" Wei Xi sneered and tore the painting in his hand into pieces.
Lian Gouyi finally stood firm and saw Wei Xi Tiannu throwing away the pieces of paper like flowers.
Qin Feng frowned, and just as Lian Gou Ni was about to hug Qin Feng's thigh, he heard Qin Feng say, "You have a rest and collect these scraps of paper, don't affect the environment."
Lian Gouzhao was heartbroken. How could he, alone, be as strong as the two sisters?
"You can still... that's all, let's rest here tonight." Qin Feng said, looking at the two faces that were about to die at any moment.
Lian Goupi collected all the pieces of paper and quickly followed Wei and Qin into the inn.
The three of them asked for two rooms. They simply packed up and fell asleep. It was dinner time before we went to the lobby of the inn to eat.
After a full sleep, Wei Xi looked better at Lian Gou Ni. The three of them ordered four dishes and one soup, then took a table in the corner and sat down.
There were not many guests coming and going at the inn at this time of year, so it would be difficult for three young people to travel. It's just that Wei Xi and the others were wearing Taoist robes, so others glanced at them and went about their own business.
How dare ordinary people mess with people from the Immortal Sect after seeing the Taoist robes, but monks knew they were from the Qingcheng Sect when they saw the gray Taoist robes.
He didn't even mean to say hello.
"Are we going to follow the inn tomorrow?" Wei Xi asked Qin Feng. Although she was padded with cotton, her inner thighs were still swollen, and she really didn't want to continue riding on the horse.
"You don't want to ride a horse, right?" Lian Gouyi will attack Wei Xi and Qin Feng equally today to let them know that he is not easy to mess with either!
Wei Xi wanted to scold but couldn't. Lingyin stood above her, and her feathers started to stand up.
Wei Xi and Lian Goupi didn't know how to ride a horse, so Qin Feng urgently trained the two of them in order to rush on the road. Lian Gou Pao was okay, but Wei Xi was only eleven years old, and although he had long arms and legs, he was still a little reluctant.
Finally, the shortest horse in the inn was found for her. Wei Xixian learned a binding technique and tied herself to the horse's back, and then the trip was completed.
Although Wei Xi's own embarrassment made her dissatisfied, the continuous leisurely life made her angry, and this was the scene where she tore up the painting in anger.
"Okay, she's the youngest," Qin Feng said to dissuade Lian Gou Ni, and changed his gentle tone to persuade Wei Xi, "When you are fourteen, you won't have to tie yourself to a horse."
There is not much comfort in saying this. After all, Wei Xi doesn't want to follow these two people on horseback to do missions three years later. Could it be that Qin Feng can't wield a sword by then?
Wei Xi felt his head hurt when he thought about it, and his heart that wanted to tear him apart also softened. After all, it wasn't time to kill the donkey yet.
The people at the post station brought the soup, and the three of them started to finish their meal with the cakes.
No matter what, Wei Xi refused to ride on the horse the next day.
Halfway through the meal, seven or eight strong men opened the curtain and came in, sitting swaggeringly on the two tables in the middle.
The waiter immediately came over, and the leading man ordered seven or eight dishes, all of which were meat dishes, with two portions of each dish, and three jars of wine.
The waiter said with some embarrassment, "Sir, there was an order from Jucheng to ban alcohol. We really don't have such a thing in this inn..."
The bearded man waved his hand, "The emperor can drink, but we can't? Just bring the wine and stop talking!"
After saying that, he threw a piece of silver to the waiter and said, "I'll reward you with the rest!"
The waiter saw the size of the silver clearly and put it into his sleeve at once, "This man is so generous! I'll prepare it for you!"
Wei Xi sat in the corner and could see clearly that although these people were dressed as Ju people, some of their legs were slightly deformed, as if they had been riding horses for a long time.
When Qin Feng taught Wei Xi, he said that if the riding posture is correct, it will not cause deformation of the legs. However, Wei Xi met Hu merchants in Baoxiang City and found that many of them had varying degrees of deformation in their legs. It can be seen that if the posture is improper all year round, it is indeed easy to cause deformation.
Many people in Ju State have never touched a horse in their lives, so the identity of this group of people is really suspicious.
Wei Xi signaled to the two people eating that something was wrong at the two tables. Qin Feng had met many Hu people, and Lian Gouyi, who grew up in Baoxiang City, was also quite familiar with the Hu people, and immediately gave Wei Xi a look of approval.
Now it is certain that the people at these two tables are barbarians.
But how could such good-looking Hu people appear at the inn on the border of Suzhou?
Although you have entered the Immortal Sect, you have to be on guard against things that are strange. If you are involved in some cause and effect, it will be ruined.
Not to mention that Qin Feng, the daughter of the general of the Ju Kingdom, said that she had entered the immortal sect, but the fate of the world was said to be cut off by cutting it off?
The three of them paid some attention to the people at the two tables. The waiter quickly brought the food and brought two jars of wine over in a discreet manner.
"What, didn't you say you want three jars of wine?" A man dressed as a guard at another table asked gruffly.
The waiter quickly replied, "Last year there was a famine in Xizhou, this spring there was a flood in Dingzhou, a grain-producing area in the south, and Jucheng was about to use troops against Dongyi again, so we had to tighten our grip on food. There were only these two jars of wine left in the inn. Don’t be offended, gentlemen!”
The person who asked the question opened his mouth and said, "You Ju..." Before he could finish speaking, the bearded man interrupted him, "Okay! Two jars of wine, two jars of wine! After you go The kitchen wants two plates of water vines. This stuff is produced in Suzhou, and today I have seen what the immortals eat!"
Suzhou produces water vines because there are dense water networks in Suzhou, and the Xu family of the Zhengxin sect has some industries here. In addition to supplying the immortal sect, these things also flow into the Suzhou market.
The waiter responded repeatedly. The people at the two tables also chatted while eating. Wei Xi and the others drank all the soup without hearing anything useful.
Since they still had to go on their way, they had no choice but to put this matter aside. The three of them ordered some hot water and went back to their rooms to rest.
Wei Xi felt someone calling her while she was sleeping in the middle of the night. She thought it was Qin Feng who was sleeping inside. She opened her eyes in a daze and found a figure standing by the bed. At first glance, it was not Qin Feng. Wei Xi took out the dagger and was about to stab her, but the figure grabbed her wrist.
"Auntie! It's me!" Wei Xi put the dagger back after hearing the sound of a hook.
Qin Feng was also woken up, "It's late at night, what are you doing?" She reached out to touch the oil lamp beside the bed and held her hand down.
"Don't light the lamp!" Lian Gouyi's voice was low when he said this.
Qin Feng only felt strange, "We all know what you look like and won't be scared. How did you get in?"
"We'll talk about these things later," Lian Gouluo let go of Qin Feng's hand and sat on the edge of the bed, "Wei Xi, please move in."
Wei Xi stood firm and motionless.
Lian Gouyi continued, "I got up at night just now and heard two barbarians talking about the king's tent and the great witch somewhere in the latrine. The distance was too far for me to hear clearly. I was worried about being discovered, so I slowly approached."
"Finally, I heard them say that they were also going to Tangkou Town. They also said that it was inconvenient to pretend to be people from the Ju Kingdom every day, and they wished they could finish their work and return to the Boluo Kingdom as soon as possible."
"I didn't leave until they left the hut. I kept an eye on it and checked before I came back. These two people were on night watch. They probably went out for convenience. I was worried that they would find out that I was eavesdropping in the hut. I melted into the wall. Sneaked in."
This was the reason why Lian Goupi didn't let them light the lamp. After hearing this, Wei Xi and Qin Feng stopped falling asleep.
Where did this wave of barbarians come from, and why did they go to Tangkou Town?
Now there are no clues. We only know that this wave of barbarians are by no means good people.
Sneaking into Ju State in disguise and sending people to keep watch at night are not like ordinary barbarians. Wei Xi and the others have a mission and must go to Tangkou Town. They don't know what is there in Tangkou Town that can attract the barbarians.
The three of them knew that during this mission, they had to be wary of the barbarians at the post station. If there was a conflict between the barbarians and the people in Tangkou Town, the three monks did not know how much trouble they would cause.
Lian Gouyi never dared to go back to sleep alone again. Wei and Qin were also worried about what noise he would make if he opened the door in the middle of the night, so Qin Feng's fur and the extra mattress in the guest room became Lian Gouyi's good partners.
"To be honest, this fur is almost mine." Lian Gouyi said with emotion.
Wei Xi threw a pillow from the bed to tell him to shut up and sleep.
