Blade of Wind

I slept until noon, and woke up with my grumbling stomach in my hands smelling the smell of food.

Ao looked at me with a smile, but said to Xiuhuang, "Look, I said she has a dog nose, and she will wake up naturally when she smells the fragrance."

I snorted, sat up, washed up briefly under the service of Xiu Huang, Ao had put away the bedding, and set lunch on the kang table.

I yawned and sat down at the table, Ah Ao served me a meal, I took the chopsticks in a daze, and yawned again.I really haven't had enough sleep.

Xiu Huang said with a smile: "My lord, eat first, I bought a carriage, and sleep in the carriage after a while."

I nodded, then turned my head to look at Ao, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Ah Ao also laughed, and said: "It's okay." He took my hand and touched his forehead, "The fever from the previous two days has also subsided. Don't worry."

"Hmm." I replied, bowing my head to eat.

The three of them ate lunch in a hurry, then packed their things and set out on the road.

The carriage is spacious and comfortable, and the horses that pull it are very handsome. Xiu Huang explained that in fact, he could have bought a flying beast, but recently it is better to keep a low profile.

Although the government has not issued an order to arrest people, after all, we have just gone through that kind of thing and injured the prefect. It would be bad if we draw any more attention.Why don't you just pretend to be a merchant and follow a caravan casually.He even handled the goods in a similar manner.Even the partner caravan has been contacted.

It is said that the roads have not been peaceful recently, and there are quite a few businessmen who are weak and weak to find someone to go with them temporarily, so no one suspects us.

Because our badge was burned by that dog official, Xiu Huang even got a fake one.At first I was worried that the fake certificate would not be able to leave the city, but Xiu Huang stuffed something into the sleeves of the soldiers defending the city, and he let go without even looking at what was in the car.

I breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately I brought Xiu Huang out, he is really capable, if it was only me, I don't know what would happen.But looking at the city that was left behind, and thinking about the experience of the past two days, he couldn't help but frowned again: "These soldiers guarding the city dare to accept bribes! Are you not afraid of divine punishment?"

Yesterday we made a big noise in the prefect's other courtyard and threw money everywhere. There was a lot of discussion in the city, and there were all kinds of things, but most of them really believed that it was the emperor who angered the police and punished the world.We heard it no less than a dozen times from the hotel to the city gate, and these soldiers still have their bad habits.

Xiu Huang said: "Although the lord made a big fuss yesterday, it didn't fall on them after all. What's more..." He sighed, then lowered his voice, "It's hard to get back. Even if you get a warning, some habitual actions , and it is impossible to change everything in a short while.”

... Really... what should I say?

But anyway, even if I have intentions about Liu Guo's affairs, I can't get involved.Last night, although it was hard to see that he played a cameo role as a grand robber who robbed the rich and gave to the poor, he was still worried after all.Seeing that Ah Ao was fine today, he was barely relieved.

I shrugged and retreated into the carriage to catch up on sleep.

The time with the caravan is smooth and happy.

Xiuhuang was used to traveling with his father's caravans, and treated people in a straightforward manner. He only told people that Aao and I were his younger siblings, and it was the first time he came out with him to gain experience.The other businessmen didn't get suspicious, instead they told us a lot about the local customs and customs.

There was no major problem on the road, and we encountered robbers once, but there were too many of us. The caravan surrounded the chariots and horses, and the staff held swords and confronted the robbers for about a quarter of an hour. The robbers saw that they could not please them, so they retreated up.

However, a few little monsters that suddenly appeared, the ones they called "worms", caused some losses to the caravan, injured several people, and destroyed a whole truckload of goods.

Xiu Huang treated the wounded, and I followed beside him.

One of the injured merchants was from the Yan Kingdom. He had a very ugly face and complained to us: "There are also monsters here. It seems that the Liu Kingdom may really be dying."

I pursed my lips. Although we didn't have much dealings with the government afterwards, and I don't know if there are collusions between officials and bandits in other places, but the checkpoints in various places require bribes to pass smoothly.They are all so greedy, can they not decline?

"When I go back this time, I won't be able to go to Liu Country." The businessman from Yan Country sighed, "How could it be like this? Qing over there hasn't regained his strength yet, and Liu here is dying, and Dai on the other side of the sea is also like that. How can I do business in the future?"

Thinking about the Twelve Kingdoms now, Fang is that I have just succeeded to the throne for less than a year, Dai is that Xiaozong has disappeared and cannot be found, Qing’s Yangzi has only become king not long ago, and coincidentally, the new unicorn is still growing on the tree, Now Liu is losing again... almost half of the country is in recession, this world is really difficult.

Although the country of Yan is prosperous, if the three surrounding countries are not in good shape, the country of Yan will be miserable.

But the businessman only thought about the bad business, and didn't worry about his own life. It seemed that he had full confidence in Yan Guo.

I asked: "Aren't you worried that monsters will go to Yan Country?"

"What's the matter? The army of our country of Yan is very powerful." The businessman said with admiration, "What's more, our lord has ruled the world for 500 years. He has watched the prosperity of the neighboring countries a lot, and there is always a way. .”

That's right, Yan Country has been in business for hundreds of years, so there should be countermeasures for this situation, not to mention that as long as Shang Long is there, Yan Country will have no problems, but I am more worried.

Going all the way like this, Ah Ao's body didn't feel any discomfort, and I really put my heart back in my stomach.It seems that my making a fuss about the official residence of the Liu Kingdom is not a fault in the eyes of the Emperor of Heaven.

Soon we arrived at the border of Yanliu.There are more monsters, and the inspection of the checkpoints is relatively tight.

In fact, it's okay for Liu to say that at most it's just spending more money, and there's nothing that can't be solved, but when it comes to Yan Country, it's probably not that simple.

I looked at the well-armed and meticulous soldiers at the gate of the boundary wall, and asked with some concern: "What if...it is found out that our badges are fake?"

Xiu Huang laughed and said, "When we arrive in Yan Country, what are you worried about?"

"Eh?" I pointed to the soldiers who were seriously questioning, "It's impossible for these people to get away with it like before, right?"

Even A Ao glanced at me contemptuously, and said in a sour tone: "Even if they find out that we used fake certificates, it doesn't matter. With the friendship between you and King Yan, as long as you reveal your identity, you are still afraid of that prodigal Won't Zi fly from Xuanying Palace to pick you up in person?"

I was taken aback.

Yes, I was so depressed and stupid by the officials of the Liu Kingdom. Yan and Liu are different, and my relationship with King Yan and King Liu is also different. Even if fake certificates are found here, I won’t be shut down. Prison?

Ah Ao snorted, stretched out his hands to pinch my face, "Is it so happy to see him?"

I opened his hand and argued: "No way. I'm just happy because I don't have to be angry with those dog officials in the Liu Kingdom at last."

A Ao stared at me for a while, then snorted again, turned her head and ignored me.

Xiu Huang laughed again, and drove the carriage forward along the team that passed the barrier.

As a result, when it was our turn, before checking the badges, a soldier held a portrait and compared us for a while, then nodded to the colleague next to him, "That's her!"

Then we were taken aside even with the car.Then the car was impounded, and the three of us were led to continue walking.

This development is a bit unexpected.

We looked at each other, and we didn't know what the situation was. We wanted to ask, but the soldier leading the team smiled seriously again.If you want to run, the carriage and luggage are all detained over there, and it is not easy to get out in a city where the border guards are stationed.Just keep going.

I secretly contacted Qinglong and asked him to pay attention to it. If there is something wrong, I will warn the police immediately.

But nothing happened, the soldiers just led us to a big house and made us wait in the hall.

"Someone wants to see you."
