Chapter 112 Arrival in Linling County, allowed to enter the city
This carriage was delivered by Xiao Yunshan and his daughter. As for whether it was intended to let the night ride or to avoid his daughter's journey, the night was too lazy to think about it. He directly gave the carriage to Qingyue, which was assigned to Qingyue. This move immediately eased the acetic acid in Qingyue's heart, and even the eyes looking at the night were much softer.
Qingyue got out of the car, and Xiaoxin followed closely. Xiao Ruxuan immediately ordered the accompanying cook to make seven or eight exquisite dishes, and then invited the night and others to come over for dinner.
The supply range of this small canteen is limited to Queshan's own family. The night wanted to call Shang Wen Zhong, but in this way, instead of calling others, he seemed stingy, so he had to give up.
The food of the backbone of the night's men is provided by Wang Xiuhui's kitchen, which is naturally much better than that of soldiers.
Hawke ate a huge amount of food and was not interested in those small pot dishes. He went straight into the pile of soldiers and stuffed pasta into his mouth. When he was thirsty, he took out the wooden basin he carried with him and scooped some bacon bone soup to drink. Although this move was vulgar, it won the favor of many soldiers.
After the meal, the army continued to start. After using Wen Zhong's suggestion, the speed of travel was doubled.
Camp at night and be safe.
On the second day, the road gradually dried, and the speed of propulsion increased a lot. However, considering the horse's endurance, the mileage is still controlled. The daily itinerary is between 80 miles and 120 miles.
Wen Zhong is more careful and not in a hurry. First, leave time for the horses to look for food. After all, more than 400 horses eat, and the needed grass is not a small amount. Second, horses are not overworked and can be left with spare strength. In case of sudden ** situation, it will not be too passive.
But the road is tortuous and not spacious enough. Therefore, it took a long time on the way to Linling County. It was not until more than 10 days later that I walked a straight line of more than 500 miles.
In this era, the county system of the duchy is basically the same. There are "Three Miles of City, Seven Miles of Guo." The saying. Linling County is such a standard city. The outer city is seven miles long and three miles wide, and the inner city is three miles wide.
Like the city of Xiao Yunshan, that is, the size of the inner city of the county. At night, I heard that there are seven counties or counties in the State of Zheng except for the capital. As for small lords like Lu Anren, although they have a large number of cities, they are too small to become a climate.
A line of night, with a brigade of soldiers and horses. As soon as he reached three or forty miles outside the county, he was intercepted by the scouts. The night did not want to use force, so he could only set up a camp while sending people to negotiate with the other party.
Fan Qingping took the initiative to contact Lin Lingjun.
The night ordered him to bring more gold and silver, and then told him to leave with him.
Fan Qingping rode a horse and followed the soldiers. First, I came to the garrison outside the city, and I thought it would be difficult.
I didn't expect that the garrison leader had heard of Fan Qingping's Jianghu name. Immediately without saying a word, he sent his own soldiers and led Fan Qingping into the city.
Fan Qingping's heart is happy, but the etiquette cannot be abandoned. He still gave some gold and silver to the commander of the garrison. The garrison leader was polite and accepted it. As for the personal soldiers who led the way, Qingping also had some fights.
The soldiers took Fan Qingping to the pavilion in the city outside the city to deal with the pavilion messenger in the pavilion. The head of a county is at least at the level of a marquis. Fan Qingping's identity is not obvious. Of course, it is impossible for the princess to meet her in person.
The pavilion covers an area of more than 2,000 square meters, and all the buildings are made of wood. Although it is not delicate enough, it is clean and tidy. There are more than 20 houses built around the east and west sides of the courtyard. The rest of the main rooms, wing rooms, living rooms, stables, etc. are all available.
Fan Qingping held a wooden box in her hand and came to the main hall. The postman in charge of the reception was a fat middle-aged man. He had a wrench in his hand, so it can be guessed that this is a martial artist.
"Who is coming? What's the matter?" The post envoy sat down and asked Qingping.
Fan Qingping did not dare to neglect it. She presented the wooden box and said, "I will reply to you. Fan Qingping is a diner of the Baicao family. This time, my magic doctor, the young master, has entered the world to practice. If you want to stay in your place, I hope you can agree.
"Oh," the postman saw that Fan Qingping's etiquette was in place, so he reached out to take the wooden box. Once you buy it, there is a lot of gold and silver.
The post opened a gap in the wooden box and quickly closed it. He picked up a wooden card on the wooden box and hid the wooden box to one side.
The front of the wooden card is engraved with the words [Baicao Family], and the reverse side is also engraved with two lines of small words: taste the Baicao hanging pot to help the world, and set up a thousand ways to turn back to spring.
Guan Yishi didn't care at first, but when he took a closer look, his face changed.
Why do you say? It turned out that this wooden plate is not only made of superior wood that can be used as medicine, but also the characters are as natural, and there is no trace of artificial carving at all.
How does he know that this is made by Qingyue with special ability, and it is not a human character at all. Ordinary people can't carve such wooden cards at all, let alone imitate them.
Guan Yi looked tight and quickly asked, "Mr. Fan, what's your name and where do you come from?"
"To my lord, the name of the head of the family is Wen Ren Ji Shi, and his medicine is superb. People have lived overseas for generations. If it hadn't been for the experience of future generations, they would not have easily set foot on the mainland. I'm a native. After meeting the young master on the road, I followed him. Fan Qingping said nonsense.
"Oh," Guan Yi raised his eyebrows, knocked on the chopping board, and then said in a low voice, "So, it's just the experience of the descendants of the [Baicao Family]. Let me ask you, how many people are there in your group? How long do you need to stay?
"Lord, there is a young master on this trip, and there are more than 20 servants who take care of food and living. In addition, there are more than 300 escorts. The young master wants to go around the mainland, so he only stays here for ten days. Fan Qingping was confident and used the words she had prepared for a long time.
When Guan Yi heard this, there were more than 300 guards, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
Although he has also heard of it, the family usually brings a lot of guards when traveling. But when it comes to a large number of warriors, he can't make a decision at all, so he can only report to the decision of the city owner.
Seeing that he looked embarrassed, Fan Qingping immediately presented a medicine bottle. There are dozens of gas pills in that bottle. He said, "This is the white martial arts elixir made by the young master. I hope you can face the lord of the city and say a few good words."
After saying that, he took out two more Qiqi pills, handed them up, and bribed again.
The postman took the Danwan and smelled it in front of his nose, with a happy face. He didn't procrastinate any more, and immediately prepared to report to the city owner in person.
"Wait a minute. Let's go to the wing to have a rest first. I'll go and come." The postman called the servants and ordered the horse to prepare. He immediately got up and left.
Fan Qingping was in Guanyi for about an hour and got a response. The post envoy directly found Fan Qingping and said that the county marquis was invited.
However, the oracle is that the entourage is only allowed to carry 20 people, and the rest must camp near the garrison. Finally, he also gave Fan Qingping a pass token.
Fan Qingping was overjoyed. She quickly said goodbye to the post and rushed back to the outside of the city to report.
