Chapter 22 Chapter 22

Ye Zhiqiu led the horse to find a place, gathered some firewood, and built a simple stove with stones.

She put the pot on top, poured some water from the kettle, first grabbed a little dried vegetables and bacon and threw it into the water, boiled it and simmered it for a while, finally mixed a little batter with a bowl, and poured it into the soup In it, it becomes gnocchi.

There are constant voices around, and there is a lot of noise everywhere.

The caravan has two meals a day, morning and evening, and will take a break at noon. They are all dry food. When Ye Zhiqiu is taking a break at noon, he eats the salty cakes baked by the auntie. salty.

Seeing that the jar was steaming white, she lifted the lid, picked up some dried vegetables with chopsticks, and tasted them. It was too hard to be boiled. Ye Zhiqiu took out the gnocchi and bacon first, and put the rest in. Cooking in jars.

A gust of wind blows over, bringing with it the smell of food.

While eating, Ye Zhiqiu asked Xiaobai in his heart: "Xiaobai, did you find out? Who are the people who joined the caravan after leaving the city?"

"Boss, I've listened to the news for a day today, but I can't find much useful information."

"It's okay, you can tell me." Ye Zhiqiu took a sip of the soup. It didn't taste good, and he seemed to have forgotten to add salt.

"Treasurer Huo's caravan itself has only more than 300 people. Most of the rest are from the aristocratic families in Nancheng, and a small part are people who escaped from the border town."

Ye Zhiqiu raised his eyebrows: "A family from Nancheng?"

"Yes, boss. They were very frightened when they heard what happened in the border town. There was one family whose entire clan migrated. The one with an eagle on the carriage is that family."

Ye Zhiqiu: "This family has some foresight, and they have courage in doing things."

You know, the homeland is hard to leave. The headquarters of this family is in Nancheng. If you give up, you will give up. Apart from the influence of the head of the family, the members of this family are also very united.

Ye Zhiqiu felt a little sad, no matter whether the barbarians would attack Nancheng or not, but the fire at the city gate caused the fish in the pond, and he didn't know what would happen to Auntie and Brother Li in the future.

She was silent for a while and then asked: "What's more, who are the people who escaped from the border town?"

"There were nearly 100 people who escaped from the border town. They were divided into several teams, and one of them said they were going to Kyoto."

"Going to Kyoto? Visiting relatives?"

"Well, there's a kid named Li Nian inside, who says he's a clan relative to General Li Jing and Li in the capital, and he's going to find him and join his Xuanwu Army."

Xiaobai paused and continued: "This Li Nian, he has been talking about revenge. His family members were killed by barbarians, and his two sisters were taken away."

Ye Zhiqiu's thoughts moved slightly: "Then you should pay more attention to Li Nian on the road this time, and pay attention to the rest."

Xiaobai: "Good boss."

After Ye Zhiqiu finished eating the gnocchi and bacon in the bowl, he scooped some dried vegetables. After cooking for a long time, they softened a bit, but the taste was still not good, and she was not picky. I boiled a pot of boiling water. It may be too late to boil the water tomorrow morning, so I will boil the water first at night.

After a brief wash, she took the straw mat and quilt off the horse, put the straw mat underneath first, and then put the quilt on top, wrapping her whole body in the quilt.

"Xiaobai, be careful at night, especially the little black horse, don't let anyone steal the horse's luggage." Ye Zhiqiu ordered wearily.

"Don't worry! Boss, go to bed quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow." Xiao Bai felt sorry for the boss.

Ye Zhiqiu had several blisters on the soles of his feet, which were very painful.

She took out a silver needle from her bosom, hid in the bed, pierced the blister, and squeezed out the water inside.

The thorn blisters are soaked from the edge, so that the recovery is fast and there is no scar.

Ye Zhiqiu has already rested, and the members of the Liu family with the eagle family crest cannot sleep peacefully.

These people tossed and turned, not to mention leaving their hometowns, the main reason was that the unknown way forward made people feel uneasy.

The head of the Liu family is discussing in the carriage of shopkeeper Huo.

Their family has been able to pass on for hundreds of years, relying on their foresight.

As soon as the incident in the border town happened this time, the head of the Liu family had a premonition of the crisis. Regardless of the opposition of the clansmen, he moved the entire clan with an iron fist.

Shopkeeper Huo is a businessman. He has been to most of the big cities in the Zhou Dynasty. He is here tonight to ask Shopkeeper Huo about the specific situation of each city.

After a conversation between the two, Patriarch Liu decided to go to Kyoto.

The center of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If the barbarians can really hit Kyoto, it will be the subjugation of the country.

If the country is not there, where is the home?
Kyoto.

Li Jing's Xuanwu army has assembled, and an army of 20 is directly pressing on the border.

Spring thunder was rolling in the sky, dark clouds were densely covered, and when the wind was raging, Ye Zhiqiu woke up without waiting for Xiaobai's warning.

She quickly got up and put on her raincoat and bamboo hat, put away the quilt and straw mat, and pulled off the oilcloth to cover the supplies on the little black horse's back.

The heavy rain poured down, and the quiet convoy immediately became agitated.

The shouting of people, the tearing of horses.

There was a panic, and with the white light of the lightning, Ye Zhiqiu saw many servants standing shivering in the rain. They didn't have coir raincoats or bamboo hats, so they could only let the rain fall on them.

Ye Zhiqiu sighed in his heart, why is life so difficult, I am afraid that someone will catch the cold tomorrow.

The rain kept falling, Ye Zhiqiu's cloth shoes were soaked, and the bottoms of her trousers were also wet. She stood upright, her body began to feel a little cold, and her legs began to become stiff.

"Boss, are you tired?" Xiao Bai asked in a low voice.

"I'm not tired. Compared to those servants, I'm already fine." Ye Zhiqiu smiled.

The light rain continued for a long time, and when the rain stopped completely, the sky was already slightly bright.

She took off the bamboo hat and coir raincoat, slowly shook her legs to relax them, then rolled up the wet trousers and took off her shoes.

Ye Zhiqiu led the horse to the river with bare feet, let go of the rope, and let the little black horse eat grass by itself. Then he washed the shoes in the river and wrung them dry.

Ye Zhiqiu wanted to start a fire, but after it rained, the firewood was all wet and couldn't be lit at all.

At this time Xiaobai said: "Boss, go to the front, that family has charcoal fire, you can go to them to buy some and see if it's okay."

Raising his head, Ye Zhiqiu also saw green smoke in front of him.

After she fed the little black horse, she led it forward slowly. She didn't wear shoes, and stepped on the mud with bare feet. No one in the convoy paid attention to her. Busy taking care of myself.

Walking all the way to the front, Ye Zhiqiu was stopped by the guard just as he walked into the family.

She hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother, please let me know and say that Dr. Xia from Huichuntang is asking to see you."

As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person with your hand. Besides, after walking for so long, no one has a headache.

doctor?

This identity should be easier to use!
The guard saw Ye Zhiqiu's scarred face and was noncommittal.

Guard B also laughed with disdain when he saw this small body.

Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help laughing when he saw their motionless bodies, and slapped his forehead, it was him who was abrupt.

It's like being in one's own original world. If you want to meet a famous family head, you have to be recommended by someone.

That's it.

She turned around and led the horse and walked forward, looking for shopkeeper Huo, he is a businessman, a businessman is always willing to make money, and he doesn't have many rules of the family.

Guard A and Guard B looked at each other when they saw her turn and leave, they were just a doctor...
