031 doubt

All the way to the west, because of this disturber, their speed is indeed faster.

A few days later, I arrived in Qiaocheng.

This is the boundary of the State of Chu. Unlike the Yuan River between Chu Yue, Qiaocheng and the Xiu County of Yue are just two mountain forests separated by the Qicheng Fortress Mountains. In the mountain forest, there are soldiers of the two countries who patrol the border. There is a joke circulating here, saying that the guards of Qiaocheng and Xiuxian County often communicate with each other. Of course, it's not really interoperability. It's just that when cooking food, the fragrance of the wind will always float to the other party's camp. In this way, war is not necessary. As long as the other party eats better, even anger can kill them.

Of course, this is just a joke. In fact, the border relationship between Yuechu is better than what the monarchs of the two countries know. Although Yue Guo once proposed to trade, because the State of Chu had just calmed down the civil strife, and then the princes seized power for many years, when Chu Sheng established the throne, this man was not good at trade and only liked to fight. He stared at the movement of Qiang Qin all day long and made almost no decisions on Chu Guosheng, and the matter of mutual trade was naturally stranded.

However, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and there are times when Tianwei is beyond the reach. The people of Qiaocheng wanted to wear clothes and eat, so they secretly exchanged their own goods with the people of Yueguo. In the south of the State of Chu, 80% of the weather in the four seasons is hot, and the scorching sun is like fire, while the four seasons of the Moon are balanced, and there are many specialties that occupy the right time and place. Local people exchange fresh fruits and other vegetables from Chu for tobacco, tea or ganoderma lucidum and other things with Yueguo. Rare things are expensive, and the exchanged items are all amazingly expensive. Local defense can also benefit from it, so they naturally turn a blind eye.

When Bai Shaoqing and others came to Qiaocheng, it was near dusk. Qiaocheng under the sunset was covered with a faint yellow light. Many streets were more bustling than Chujing, which was indeed more lively than those towns larger than Qiaocheng along the way.

After so many days of fear, the four of them felt tired. As soon as they entered the city, they immediately found an inn to rest and eat. Bai Shaoqing took a break and followed Wu Jiang to the garrison to handle the customs clearance spies. After Chu Su's seal arrangement, their party went to the west to look for relatives. With the certificate of Chu Jing's government, it was naturally convenient and fast to do. After a while, the spy was sent out by the official and respectfully handed over to Bai Shaoqing.

The two walked out of the government gate. Bai Shaoqing said, "Thanks to Brother Wu's care all the way these days, we have reached the border now, but your master hasn't received any news. I'm really worried. I want to stay here for a few more days to see if I can wait. What's wrong with Brother Wu?"

Wu Jiang smiled and said, "The prince is a man of heart. In this case, let's stay here for a few more days." Bai Shaoqing looked at him with a smile and continued to move forward.

Back to the inn, Li Fu and Yue Chongjin were not even there. Thinking of Li Fu's plan, Bai Shaoqing hurried downstairs to look for it. After leaving the inn, he saw Li Fu half pulling Yue Chongjin with an unhappy face and half mopping back.

As Bai Shaoqing expected, Yue Chongjin's face was not even a little changeable, but he pouted and his face was not happy. When he saw her from afar, he suddenly shook off Li Fu's hand and ran over. When he came closer, his eyes turned red.

Bai Shaoqing hurriedly asked him what was wrong, but he flattened his mouth and took her hand, but glanced at Li Fu. Looking at Bai Shaoqing's questioning eyes, Li Fu shouted unjustly, "Sir, don't be fooled by that. I'm almost pissed off by him."

"What's the matter?" Bai Shaoqing took him upstairs as he asked, because when they entered the inn, she had found that several women were behind them, probing their heads.

The four of them entered the house. Wu Jiang looked at Yue Chongjin and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiaojin is going to dress up when he goes out, otherwise I'm afraid he will attract all the women in the city." Seeing Li Fu staring at him, he shook his head and smiled and went out of the house.

As soon as he left, Li Fu pointed to Yue Chongjin and said, "It's all he's not good. Those women are attracted by him and have nothing to do with me."

"What's wrong with you? Oh, didn't I tell you that you must help him change his face?" Bai Shaoqing is really anxious. This is close to the moon country, and there are people here. Although they may not have seen the moon king, this risk can't be taken under any circumstances.

"I just want to take him out for a walk. Maybe I can meet his relatives." Li Fu lowered his voice and looked at Bai Shaoqing's face. He also felt guilty. Thinking about it, he said, "But that fool always smiles at people and recruits a lot of big daughters and little daughters-in-law. If I hadn't run fast, he would have been given points. It's strange that I haven't seen him so crazy anywhere else before.

When Bai Shaoqing heard what he said, his heart moved slightly and said, "What have you seen? What is he smiling at? Is it like that as soon as you go out?"

Li Fu thought for a while and then said, "Yes, when you said that, I remember that he was fine when he went out. Later, he seemed to see a horse. The saddle was rusty with some strange patterns, as if... a bow and arrow-shaped pattern, blue, blue and purple... The horse stopped outside a restaurant, and he simply dragged me there. Come forward and keep smiling at that thing.

When Bai Shaoqing heard the first half of his words, he understood that the blue and purple bow and arrow pattern was probably not seen clearly by Li Fu. It was actually a crescent moon surrounded by bauhinia, which was the symbol of the moon country. When the four countries entered Xiangshan, Xiang would insert flags embroidered with the symbols of various countries in their hospital.

Sure enough, there are Yue people here, but I'm afraid it's not ordinary people who can hang this sign on the horse so blatantly. When Bai Shaoqing thought of this, she was shocked and immediately asked Li Fu to make a new face for Yue Chongjin. She also changed the scar mask she had been wearing on her face and dressed up as a yellow-faced little girl. Even Li Fu changed himself and called Wu Jiang to pay the bill downstairs. Although there were still some women waiting for the handsome young man in white outside the door, his party changed their appearance and naturally did not attract attention when they went out.

The three walked to the other side of the town and stayed in an inn. This time, Bai Shaoqing dressed as a little girl, but she only needed two rooms, Li Fu and Wu Jiang, and she lived in one room with Yue Chongjin. Li Fu protested. Bai Shaoqing had to pull him aside and roughly talked about Yue Chongjin. He only hid that he was the king of the moon, and only said that he was a member of the royal family exiled to a foreign country. Unexpectedly, it would be like this. Li Fu was so shocked that he opened his mouth and couldn't close it for a long time. He looked up and down at Yue Chongjin. His eyes sparkled and looked like this. The little brocade in front of him was not a prince or a little prince or something. This is a great good thing. In this way, the thank-you gift will rise sharply.
