Changfeng has a place to return

Before dawn the next day, everyone packed up their things and prepared to leave.

Liu Xian'an had been dreaming for the whole night, and now he was in a daze, half-wrapped in the blanket and staring at the front in a daze, Ah Ning stepped forward to shake him several times, but failed to wake him up.

Gao Lin handed the food to Liang Shu, and took two more to give to Aning, but when he turned around, just in time for the red sun to burst out of the clouds, the light of the sky was soft like a dream, enveloping the person sitting under the tree Liu Xian'an.The son's white clothes are dyed with gold, and the surrounding fields are full of brilliance, and the whole world is awakened and lit up at this moment. The birds are melodious, the vegetation is verdant, and everything is full of vitality.

Gao Lin had never seen such a big scene before. He stopped and looked at the Second Young Master Liu whose hair was shining in front of him. He was quite shocked: "Be good." Whether he wants to become a fairy or what.

Liang Shu glanced at him: "Why, you want to marry again?"

Gao Lin immediately withdrew his gaze, and shook his head firmly, "If you don't want to marry, I'm on the prince's side, and if you want to marry, you can only marry the prince."

Liang Shu ruthlessly refused: "But I don't want to marry you."

Gao Lin was not shocked, and he was full of confidence in the future: "Then who can say for sure."

Cheng Suyue stood aside, listening to this weird conversation, feeling like she was going deaf.

Under the tree, Ah Ning finally managed to pull Liu Xian'an out of Immortal Ascension Boundary with a wet handkerchief, and quickly stuffed a piece of warm scones and a pot of tea: "Hurry up, young master, Everyone is waiting for us."

Liu Xian'an agreed, took a bite of the pancake slowly, chewed it twice, but was still sleepy, his eyes wandered here and there without focus, the last one didn't pay attention, and it floated into the eyes of His Royal Highness King Xiao .

"..."

The two looked at each other, remembering what happened last night, Liu Xian'an was half awake at once.

Liang Shu nodded slightly, showing all the gold and jade, with a broad mind, as if he didn't take the matter of being woken up by someone's head in the middle of the night at all.And just when he made persistent efforts to further show off his charming royal demeanor, Gao Lin, who had been staring at the side for a long time, couldn't take it anymore, and took two steps forward to forcefully take his prince away, ending this one-sided flirting ahead of time.

Liu Xian'an breathed a sigh of relief, quickly swallowed the cake in his mouth, stood up and got into the carriage quickly.

"Young Master, Young Master!" Ah Ning lifted the curtain, "Didn't you agree to ride a horse today? Why are you being lazy again?"

Liu Xian'an closed his eyes, pretending to be sleeping, pretending to be righteous, seeing nothing, hearing nothing, knowing nothing.

Entering the gate of infinity, traveling in the wild of infinity, all in all, shielding the outside noise completely.

won't wake up.

Aning had a headache: "Oh, really."

There is absolutely no way.

The convoy continued on.

Cheng Suyue obeyed her elder brother's order to guard Liu Xian'an's carriage all the time, but she didn't fully understand her mission. What does it mean to "be on guard against the prince"? ?

Gao Lin said: "This matter is a bit complicated, you first do as I said, and I will explain it slowly when you return to the northwest in the future."

Cheng Suyue proposed: "But if the prince wants to chat with Mr. Liu, I can't stop him?"

"We're going to Chixia City soon. In the next period of time, our lord won't have any chance to...chat, just be smart." Lieutenant Gao patted the girl on the shoulder, "Okay, I'll go Lead people to explore the way."

Cheng Suyue was confused, half understood, and wanted to ask again, Gao Lin had already stabbed her horse's buttocks with the hilt of his sword, the horse jumped forward in shock, Cheng Suyue was led back, and hurriedly grabbed the reins, Angrily said: "Brother!"

Gao Lin laughed loudly, beckoned three or five guards, and went ahead together to find out the road conditions.

Liu Xian'an in the carriage also heard the crisp "Brother" outside, he called Aning and whispered a few words in his ear.After a while, Ah Ning got out of the carriage, and handed a small smoky pink porcelain jar to Cheng Suyue: "Miss Cheng, this is a gift from my son."

Cheng Suyue took it, and before opening the lid, she smelled a quiet fragrance.

"Winter in the Northwest is too cold. This jar of flower oil can cure frostbite." Aning said, "It was made by the third lady of my family. It smells better than the ones in ordinary pharmacies. It can heal old wounds in summer and treat it in winter." It’s not easy to relapse.”

Cheng Suyue actually doesn't like to use this kind of fragrant things. She is used to smelling the wind and sand and moon dew in the desert, but the rest of the flowers and plants are too sweet and greasy.But if you don't like the fragrance of flowers, it doesn't mean you don't like kindness, so you held the jar in your palm and said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite."

If you accept a gift from others, you have to return it.Cheng Suyue was riding on a horse, thinking about what Second Young Master Liu would need. On the other side of the mountain road, Gao Lin had already turned back with his guards. Besides, there were more than a dozen people behind, driving carts and boxes, Looks like a caravan.

"Master." Gao Lin reported to Liang Shu, "They are members of the Northwest Merchant Gang. They sell wine and silk to and from the south. They just passed Chixia City two days ago."

The leader of the caravan seemed quite upright, Cheng Suyue threw over two pieces of silver: "What good wine is there, brother, let us try it too."

The businessman caught it and said with a smile: "Then I have to give it to the girl as a bargain." As he spoke, he picked out two jugs of fine wine himself.Once the business was done, the conversation started, and he casually struck up a conversation, "You guys are going to Chixia City?"

"Yes, see a friend." Liang Shu nodded.

"That's probably enough." The businessman kindly reminded, "There seems to be a plague in Chixia City. The gates of the east, west, north, south, and north are all locked, and they are not allowed to let out or let in. The defense is tight. I asked the city guards there, and they said yes. It won’t open in March or May.”

Cheng Suyue was surprised: "Then how did you enter the city?"

"We didn't enter the city." The businessman explained, "In order to make it easier for passers-by to pass by, the magistrate of Chixia City built a special trail more than ten miles away from the city, so that they can walk around the city, and there are officers and soldiers guarding the road along the way. There are three tea sheds where you can rest and replenish, although it is certainly not as good as the restaurants in the city, but at least you won’t be hungry.”

"What do you sell in the tea shed?"

"Tea biscuits, I heard that if you catch up early, you can still meet braised beef."

"Is it expensive?"

"It's not expensive, it's only slightly higher than the normal market price. After all, it takes some effort to memorize it in the wilderness. It's nothing, it's understandable."

After hearing this, Cheng Suyue let out a pee to herself.

Liu Xian'an knew what she was upset about. Chixia City had a famine and a plague recently, and the people's lives could be guessed seven or eight points without even thinking about it. I really don't know whose pocket it will fall into.

After the caravan finished unloading their drinks, they chatted a few more words before continuing to head south.

Aning distributed the anti-plague pills to everyone early in the morning. At this time, everyone took it one after another, and then started on the road again.In the afternoon, there was indeed a fork in the road ahead, and a group of officers and soldiers stood at the intersection, raising their hands to signal the group to stop.

"Several officials." Gao Lin got off his horse, "We are going to Chixia City."

"I can't go, the city gate has been closed, and entry and exit are prohibited right now." The officers and soldiers waved their hands, "Go back quickly."

Gao Lin was taken aback: "It was fine a while ago, why did it suddenly shut down, what happened?"

The officers and soldiers were impatient: "Why are you asking so many questions? Anyway, you can't enter the city now. You have to turn back or go to the next city by detour. Do you understand?"

"But we have something urgent to do when we go to Chixia City." Gao Lin took out the broken silver from his sleeve and stuffed it quietly into the hands of the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers grinned and accepted the money, but they still didn't let go, and they seemed to turn their heads and refuse to accept the account.Gao Lin was in a hurry: "Hey, you—"

"Brother, brother!" Cheng Suyue stepped forward and grabbed him, "Don't embarrass these officials, let's go to the next city, rest there for a few days, and wait for Chixia City to reopen."

She looks pretty, and her voice is nice. When the officers and soldiers saw the pretty girl, their attitude finally improved a little: "We are also following orders, so we don't need to deliberately make things difficult for anyone. Well, then you can take the path to the next city, but you want to wait for Chixia City to recover. Open, a few days may not be enough."

Cheng Suyue asked: "Then how long do we have to wait?"

The officers and soldiers shook their heads: "It's hard to say, according to my opinion, it will take at least three months, so you'd better go back where you came from, and don't wait, otherwise, just staying in the hotel will be a big expense. "

Cheng Suyue didn't follow his suggestion, after thanking her, she still directed the convoy to follow the path, and the officers and soldiers didn't stop her.Liu Xian'an lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, and saw that the road was very flat and wide, and after walking for a while, there was indeed a tea shed in front of him, which was also run by officers and soldiers.

Gao Lin went up to ask the price, tea is a copper plate and a big pot, it’s not a rip-off, but if the price is still high in this kind of place, the passers-by will suffer, and it’s inevitable to complain elsewhere, but it’s easy to cause trouble, small profits but quick turnover It is indeed the most convenient arrangement.

There are officers and soldiers patrolling the road all the time. At the end of the mountain road, there is another deep and dense forest. As long as you pass through it, you will be completely out of the jurisdiction of Chixia City.

Cheng Suyue said: "That person surnamed Shi has no skills elsewhere, but he has a very careful plan for seeing off guests and collecting money."

Gao Lin found a dry open space in the forest and ordered everyone to camp there, planning to go to the city to find out in person after nightfall.

Liu Xian'an got out of the carriage: "Lieutenant Gao."

Gao Lin walked up to him: "Is there something wrong with Mr. Liu?"

"Yeah." Liu Xian'an nodded, "Currently everything is unknown in Chixia City. If the plague is really fierce and Vice-General Gao breaks in like this, I'm afraid it will be dangerous. Why don't you take me with you?"

His attitude was sincere, and the request he made was reasonable, but Gao Lin firstly wanted to protect Master Liu's son, and secondly, he had some doubts about Liu Xian'an's ability to cure the plague, so he found an excuse, saying that he was just As a spy, he will go and return quickly, and the time is short, so there will be no troubles, and naturally there is no need to go with the genius doctor.

"Okay then." Liu Xian'an didn't force it, but before leaving, he still dutifully reminded that there was a plague in the south 15 years ago, as long as it was touched, it would cause sores all over the body, even if it was covered with three or four layers of cloth towels, it would not work. In Yekuang Village a few years ago, the villagers would be infected by chatting with each other. In addition, there were those who passed by, those who lived in the same courtyard, those who washed their hands in a stream, and those who burnt incense in a temple... There is a possibility of getting sick. In short, Lieutenant General Gao must be careful, so I will go back to the carriage and sleep first.

"Wait!" Gao Lin broke down a little, "It's useless to use three or four layers of cloth towels to separate the mouth and nose, so how should I be careful?"

"I don't know." Liu Xian'an said truthfully, "How to cure depends on the specific disease. The pills prepared by Aning before can only prevent the most common plagues, and they can't cure all diseases, so I propose , it’s best to take me with you on this trip.”

"This..." Gao Lin was in a dilemma.

"This king will go into the city with you." Liang Shu's voice came from behind.

"My lord, absolutely not." Gao Lin hastily dissuaded, "I don't know what the hell it is like in that city, I just need to go alone, how can my lord be with—" He stopped abruptly in the middle of the sentence, because he found out that "oh , So you didn't want to go with me."

Liang Shu looked at Liu Xian'an, and repeated again: "Tonight, at midnight, I will take you into the city."

"Okay." Liu Xian'an agreed, "That's Zishi."

So Gao Lin began to worry again, it was really hard for him not to worry.According to the past practice, such things as night visits are usually done by myself and my younger sister. Why this time with Mr. Liu, the prince suddenly became interested. Isn't it really another way to have fun?And to control the plague, the more experienced the doctor, the safer it is. It is best if he is over fifty years old and has a white beard that stretches all the way to his chest, then he can't be more reassuring, like Liu Xian'an... He really can't be at ease.

But no matter how worried, there is nothing wrong with it. His Royal Highness King Xiao will not listen to him, and the second son of Liu will not listen to him. Gao Lin later went to find Aning, trying to save the country, and asked him to come forward to persuade him, but the boy looked like a doctor. Dayi said sonorously and forcefully: "The disciples from Baihe Mountain Villa will only face difficulties. How can there be any reason to avoid the plague? Not only my son, but I will also go to the city to treat illnesses together in the future. The deputy general should not make such unreasonable demands in the future."

Standing on the moral high ground like this, Gao Lin was ashamed and left abruptly.

Cheng Suyue looked at her brother with sympathetic eyes: "When did our lord do something unsure? Why are you so nervous."

"To be sure is also to be sure on the battlefield and in the court. Can the epidemic be caught if one wants to? Besides, the prince has never helped this kind of disaster before." Gao Lin sent her, "Go, you can persuade me again." advise."

"I don't want to persuade you. I think Second Young Master Liu is very powerful, and he will definitely find a solution." Cheng Suyue was unwilling to move, "You should stop meddling in your own business and just wait for the response at night."

Lieutenant Gao bumped into walls everywhere, exhausted physically and mentally.

How no one can understand themselves.

Night fell again.

At midnight, the dew condenses into a steaming white mist, and the forest is quiet.

Liu Xian'an took out his bay red pony, brushed its bristles with a brush, and fed half a piece of delicious soybean radish cake.

Liang Shu asked, "Are you going to ride it?"

Liu Xian'an nodded.

He has only one horse.

His Highness King Xiao's black horse was also pacing over at this time. It was almost twice the size of a filly, with its nostrils turned out and a fat body. It looked like a peerless overlord who traveled thousands of miles every day.So Liu Xian'an said apologetically: "My horse runs relatively slowly, and there may be a little delay on the way... Sigh!"

Liang Shu carried the man with one hand and got on the horse together.

Xuanjiao let out a long hiss and soared into the air, before waiting for the master to drive it, it rolled up the mountain wind and galloped into the distance, its four hooves were like iron, smashing the moonlight along the way.

Ah Ning was dumbfounded by this set of smooth and flowing bandit tactics, and opened his mouth for a long time. After realizing it, he hurriedly chased after two steps and shouted: "My lord, you haven't brought your cloak yet!"

Liu Xian'an naturally didn't hear it, he was jolted so much that he almost fell off the horse's back, he didn't even care about the cloak, he only had time to grab the handlebars on the saddle with both hands, and turned his head in a bit of confusion.

Liang Shu glimpsed it from the corner of his eye, and he was in a good mood again. He lowered his figure slightly, kicked the horse's belly with the sole of his boot, and his speed became faster and faster like lightning.

As the Xuanjiao passed by, the fireflies in the grass were frightened and flew by the whole group. They gathered and churned in the air, and sometimes they wrapped around the two of them like ribbons, and sometimes they were blown down by the wind and fell all over the mountain, blowing trees and blooming, shining beautifully.

Gao Lin looked at the dreamlike summer night scenery from a distance, thinking that the paintings of those court painters were nothing, so he slapped his sister with his arm: "Yue, you said that our prince and Mr. Liu have been staying for a long time, Will it also become immortal?"

"My lord is a god." Cheng Suyue took a bite of the wild fruit, "Is it true that he has saved few people over the years?"

Ah Ning was as innocent as paper in this regard, and asked in amazement when he heard it: "My lord actually understands Buddhism?"

Gao Lin choked, and quickly humbly said, "Not much, just a little."

As for the specific amount, it is probably just enough to send the person on the opposite side to reincarnate at an auspicious time on the battlefield.
