Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

There were only two small windows, less than a foot square, in Su Bai's carriage canopy, and he had to lift the curtain to see outside.

I just felt the carriage turn several corners and then stopped after a while.

Su Bai got out of the car. This was still Linhua County.

"We can't leave the city for the time being..."

Su Bai nodded without Xu Tianyi finishing his words: "I understand."

Gao Hu, however, disagreed with Xu Tianyi's plan. He believed that Kong Chen had been removed from his post and it was impossible for him to dispatch cavalry to chase us so quickly.

"A lean camel is bigger than a horse, madam, am I right?" Xu Tianyi asked Su Bai.

"That's right. It won't hurt to be careful." Su Bai asked the two of them, "Are you familiar with Lin Hua? I'll treat you to a good meal today!"

"Yes," Gao Hu was very happy when he heard that Su Bai wanted to treat them to a meal: "I'll take you to eat the most delicious pancakes in Linhua City!"

What's so delicious about pancakes? Su Bai invited them to a restaurant.

Gao Hu and Xu Tianyi both said that the pancakes here were delicious and filling, so Su Bai agreed with them.

It's just a roadside stall with a few tables.

It turns out that in addition to green onions and sauce, this pancake can also be filled with bacon and large intestine.

"Two pounds of smoked meat and one pound of large intestine!" Su Bai simply ordered more so that they could eat their fill and take the leftovers back.

"Thank you, Madam. I've eaten this pancake countless times, and the most I've ever ordered is three taels of meat!" Gao Hu said as he skillfully rolled a roll and handed it to Su Bai: "Madam, you go first!"

Xu Tianyi hit his hand: "You didn't even wash your hands before feeding the young lady? Eat it yourself!"

"It's okay, I didn't wash my hands either!" Su Bai snatched the pancake from Gao Hu's hand and took a bite: "Wow, it's delicious!"

To be honest, the meat is big and tasty, but it would be an exaggeration to say it is too delicious.

"This roll of mine is enough, it's all yours!"

Gao Hu glanced at Xu Tianyi and said, "The young mistress is not as poor and particular as you are!"

I have to say, watching them eat tastes much better than eating by myself.

Su Bai said that the two of them had overacted today. The guard might not have noticed it at the time, but he would realize it after recalling it and realize that the two were acting.

Gao Hu smiled bitterly. He had not wanted to do this job for a long time. Ever since he entered the Confucius Mansion, the food was much better than in the military camp due to Su Bai's subsidy. Many soldiers said that they would rather stay in the Confucius Mansion forever.

He didn't know what Kong Li's next arrangements would be. Now that Kong Chen was no longer the army commander, Kong Li might withdraw the Kong Mansion Guard and reorganize it back into the garrison camp.

He is in a difficult situation now and does not want to leave the Kong Mansion, but if he stays in the Kong Mansion, he has to follow Kong Chen's orders. This order is really difficult for him to execute, and even if he does it seriously, he cannot do it perfectly.

Xu Tianyi advised him to take off his military uniform and fight Su Bai.

"Young Madam is someone who can do great things. Didn't you see how Chen Yidao flattered her?"

It turns out that Doctor Chen is the top surgeon at the Temporary Seventh Military Hospital, also known as Chen Yidao.

Gao Hu said that this was not an option. He was different from Xu Tianyi. He had been working in the battalion headquarters and many people knew him. If he took off his military uniform, he would be a deserter.

Although Xu Tianyi was Zhou Beiwang's confidant, he had always been in the company. Apart from the people in the company, few people knew him. In addition, with Zhou Beiwang's cover, he was able to smoothly enter the Kong Mansion as a bodyguard, earning wages from the Kong Mansion and receiving military pay there.

"Starting from this month, you will not receive military pay, right?" Gao Hu asked Xu Tianyi.

Now that the new battalion commander has arrived, he naturally cannot receive this military pay.

"Your military pay is not much more than the wages of our Confucius Mansion. It doesn't matter if you can't get the military pay. I will make it up to you!"

As the three of them were chatting, Su Bai discovered that the two of them had finished eating up two pounds of braised pork and one pound of large intestine.

The appetite is so good.

Gao Hu also patted his belly.

Su Bai asked the two men to take her to visit the market in Linhua. Linhua County was much larger than Longxing, and the streets were much more prosperous. In addition to buying dozens of meat pancakes at the pancake stall just now, Su Bai also bought a lot of sesame cakes, fire-baked bread and other food at the market and asked Gao Hu to take them back for the brothers in the guard.

Su Bai felt that the guards Kong Chen sent to him were almost becoming his own troops.

However, no matter what, they are also soldiers, and a transfer order from above will have nothing to do with them.

But as long as they stay in the Confucius Mansion for one day, they can be used as half of their own people.

It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon when the three of them drove back to Longxing.

When I returned to the Confucius Mansion, I saw several unfamiliar faces busy moving things under the command of Guo Deyi. The people that Niu Shijiu had selected for Su Bai had arrived.

Several people had seen Su Bai when he was collecting Streptomyces, but there were too many people in the village at that time, so Su Bai didn't remember them.

They put down their work and came over to greet Su Bai.

"You guys go work with Butler Guo first and settle down. We'll have a good meal to welcome you tomorrow!"

Everyone thanked them repeatedly, and Guo Deyi said at the side: "Being with our eldest young lady is a blessing you earned in your previous life!"

Everyone agreed that the rent reduction had already brought benefits to their families, and that there would be no problem in having a good New Year this year.

Su Bai asked everyone to get busy first and called Guo Deyi over, asking him to go find the third concubine to ask who knew about Zhou Beiwang leaving Longxing this morning to take up the post in Linhua yesterday, especially the eldest and second ladies.

"It's not convenient for me and the third concubine to meet in person, so you'll have to pass on the message for me from now on." Guo Deyi understood that if Su Bai and the third concubine suddenly became friends from enemies, the fourth concubine would not be able to tell anyone.

"Also, if the fourth concubine forces the third concubine to come to me to make trouble next time, I will ask her to do what the fourth concubine says. I know what to do."

Guo Deyi nodded repeatedly.

He also gave Su Bai a suggestion, which was to let Zi Yan and the third concubine's maid interact more often. This was also a good way to keep in touch with the third concubine at all times.

Su Bai came to the backyard and saw Zi Yan was busy in the basement. She asked her to go find Tietou immediately to find out the situation.

"Wait!" Su Bai changed her mind again and asked Zi Yan to ask Tietou to meet at Jingxuan Teahouse. She wanted to have a face-to-face meeting with him.

Jingxuan Teahouse is the teahouse that Zhou Beiwang booked to meet Su Bai.

Su Bai didn't bring Xu Tianyi with him and asked him to stay at home.

She didn't want Zhou Beiwang's people to have any intersection with Liu Yiyan's people.

Arriving at the front yard, Su Bai told Gao Hu that he was going to Jingxuan Teahouse to meet a friend and he didn't want others to know about it.

Gao Hu nodded repeatedly: "I understand, it's not safe for you to go alone, right?"

"Send me a few soldiers." Su Bai now felt that he must pay attention to his own safety. After falling out with Kong Chen today, he could do anything.

Although he is no longer a military commander, he still has trusted subordinates.

Su Bai entered Jingxuan Teahouse and asked the owner to arrange two private rooms for them. He let the three soldiers sit in the private room near the inside to drink tea, eat peanuts and snacks.

He was waiting for Tietou in a private room outside. This arrangement was to prevent the three soldiers from seeing Tietou.

"If I have something to say, I will call you. If I don't, you are not allowed to come out!"

"Understood!" A soldier saluted Su Bai and said, "As long as Madam doesn't say anything, we will just keep eating and drinking inside!"

Su Bai smiled: "Yes, if it's not enough, ask for more. I'll make sure you're full!"

Tietou came and grinned when he saw Su Bai: "Young Madam, are you going to hold me accountable?"

"Sit down and stop laughing!"

Tietou immediately put away his smile, but his mouth was not idle: "If I tell the young lady something, you will definitely reward me!"
