Chapter 141 Ink Shop! Black shop!
Since crossing the valley that day, Qin Hui and his party have traveled all the way for the next five days. Even eating and resting, most of them are spent on horseback.
"Tick, Tick!" With the drizzle in the sky, a team of officers and soldiers riding horses. Around a black carriage, he stepped on the muddy path.
As the rain became bigger and bigger, an officer and soldier in a raincoat ran to the front of the team and shouted, "Your Excellency, our food and fodder have run out. What should we do now?"
The leading general looked at the dark clouds in the sky and replied, "How many more? Can you hold on for two days?
The soldier listened, wiped the rain that flowed into his eyes, and replied, "Lord Qianhu, we have run all the way and have not replenished supplies at all. Now we have nothing but some dough cakes. And even the dough cake is not enough for today's share.
"Damn it!" The middle-aged general cursed, then turned the horse's head and looked at the soldiers behind him running in the wind and rain.
"Lord Qin, you go first. I'll ask Lord Fu what you mean."
After saying this, Zuo Qianhu, after seeing Qin Hui nodding, went to the convoy behind him.
With the general's movements, four horses stopped beside him. After the carriage stopped, a beautiful woman in tight blue pushed away the curtain of the carriage.
The woman with her head exposed looked at Zuo Qianhu, who was still wearing a sweed coat and was soaked all over, and said, "Lord Qianhu, what's wrong?"
Zuo Qianhu raised his hand to block the wind and rain and said loudly, "Our food and fodder are exhausted. Miss Qingfeng, please tell Lord Fu that we need to find a place to supply it. However, please rest assured that we will not delay the schedule of going to Beijing.
Fu Qingfeng looked at the soldiers rushing in the heavy rain and said unbearablely, "Zuo Qianhu, why don't we wait until the rain stops?" The rain is so heavy that the soldiers' clothes can't be stopped.
Zuo Qianhu looked at Qin Hui and others who had run to the front. While urging the driver to go, he said, "There are dark clouds above our heads. I don't know when the rain will stop!" The soldiers are so fast that the soldiers under me all followed me all the way in the battlefield. This rain is nothing. Now we just need to find a place to replenish it, and there will be no problem.
"Drive!" After saying that, Zuo Qianhu didn't care about the reaction of the woman in blue. He patted the sitting war horse and ran forward.
Zuo Qianhu, who came to the front of the horse team, looked at Qin Hui, who closed his eyes on the horse's back, and shouted behind him, "When we replenish the grain and fodder in front of us, the whole army will rest for an hour. Now everyone cheers up and let me continue on my way!"
"Step, step." With the loud shout of Zuo Qianhu, the soldiers cheered up and ran forward quickly.
Looking at the continuous rain falling from Qin Hui's face, Zuo Qianhu ran and said, "Lord Qin, there are still two hours of horse journey from the nearest village. Why don't you go back to the carriage and have a rest?"
Qin Hui, who had closed his eyes to refresh himself, opened his eyes after hearing Zuo Qianhu's words and said, "There are old and weak women and children in the car. I went there. What do you want to say!"
Zuo Qianhu looked at Qin Hui, who closed his eyes again and said, "Lord Qin, you are not a soldier. Go to the carriage to rest for a while to avoid the wind and rain. Who can gossip!"
Qin Hui rode a horse and opened her hands to welcome the continuous heavy rain. Feeling the raindrops that keep falling on her face, Qin Hui smiled and said, "I am a warrior, and my heart is also the heart of a warrior. With my strength, this little storm is nothing!"
After saying this, Qin Hui pointed to the carriage and smiled at Zuo Qianhu, "You haven't slept for a few days. I think you'd better take a break." I'm here, and nothing can go wrong. Moreover, Lord Fu's two daughters are good-looking. Maybe you are looked up to by them and become a son-in-law!"
Zuo Qianhu looked at Qin Hui beside him, shook his head helplessly and said, "Ha ha, Lord Qin is really good at joking! It's time to think of these messy things! And as the main official, there is no reason to leave my own soldiers!"
18 brides and 80 francs, pale hair should be red makeup! Hahahaha, hahaha!" Qin Hui laughed, and then rushed out first, leaving Zuo Qianhu with a stunned face.
In this way, just after Qin Hui and his party ran for more than half an hour, a cavalryman with an order flag on his back rushed over quickly.
"Two adults, look ahead and report that there is an inn called Modian, which is open at the intersection not far from us."
"Inn!" When Zuo Qianhu heard this, he shouted with echoes, "Protect Lord Fu's carriage in the middle, and our whole army will accelerate and go to the inn to rest."
"It's an adult." With the pleasant answer, the speed of the carriage and horse's march was obviously improved.
In the inn not far from Qin Hui and his party, a fat cook with a bone-picking knife in his hand was talking to the shopkeeper with a money cap beside him: "The shopkeeper, it seems that they are all elite men of the court! What should we do now? Shall we run away before them?
The shopkeeper who heard this looked at the shopkeeper and the fat cook and whispered, "What are you slipping about! Although I don't know where they come from. But looking at this situation, it is not like those wards who know how to catch fugitives and receive rewards all day long. I don't think these people will know us. We just need to show our feet at that time.
A brocade guard standing at the door looked at several people behind the counter, muttering, and said impatiently, "Shopkeeper, we have hundreds of people. Don't go to cook now. Be careful that our adults will arrive and tell you that you can't eat.
"Don't worry, the little one will go, and I'll go now." The shopkeeper said a few flattering words, and then whispered to the cook, "Go and prepare the food, and I'll deal with them."
The shopkeeper carefully looked at the brocade guard at the door and said, " boss, let's run!" Hundreds of them. If they recognize us later, we will die!"
The shopkeeper stared at Xiao Er and scolded: "Farm, this is our place to live. If we really leave here. These officers and soldiers will definitely doubt us. If it's not good, we will really die!" After saying this, the shopkeeper looked at the fat cook with an embarrassed face and said directly to him, "Stop talking nonsense, go and prepare food. With me here, there can't go wrong."
The fat cook listened to the boss's scolding and said aggrievedly, "Shopkeeper, this inn is a signboard. How can we have anything to eat!"
"You are really useless!" The cabinet complained, and then pointed out, "Didn't there two monks yesterday? After coming here, they were turned upside down by us! You can pull them out, wash them, and make them into steamed buns. Isn't that all right?"
"High, boss, you are really tall!" The cook said a few respectful words, and then held the bone-clearing knife in his hand. He hooked up with the shopkeeper and walked into the kitchen with a smile.
"Wow, wow!.. Save.. Bang, bang..!"
Listen to the crackling sound from the kitchen. The brocade guard guard at the door asked the flattering shopkeeper, "What are they doing in the back?" Why do I seem to hear someone calling for help!"
The shopkeeper heard this and said with a smile; "Help! How could it be! You must be hungry and misheard!"
Listening to the shopkeeper's explanation, the brocade guard guard at the door rubbed his hungry stomach and asked, "What food do you do behind you?"
The shopkeeper drew a circle with his hand and said with a smile, "The steamed bun, a big and round meat bun, will definitely satisfy you!"
"Meat buns!" After hearing this, the brocade guard swallowed and spit, and his face really showed a satisfied expression.
"You are cooked, remember to give me a try first!"
"Of course, of course!" The shopkeeper replied with a smile.
