Chapter 57
Early the next morning, Bala appeared in the center of the camp in bright clothes and an angry horse. Many young women in the camp stopped to look at him, whispering to each other and laughing, and some even blushed.
Bala thought to himself that although his face was average in appearance, he could only rely on his clothes. As long as his appearance was acceptable and he dressed up, it would be easy to charm an inexperienced girl with his temperament.
When Yaoyu walked over, he saw a group of women gathering together.
She was overjoyed! When she got up in the morning, she lost her temper in her tent because of the "nightmare" she had last night. After venting her anger, she was afraid that others would notice something strange, so she had to spend more time meditating and adjusting her breath.
She originally thought that she came out late and there might be nothing left from breakfast. But when she saw that the girls hadn't gone to eat yet, Yingyu immediately felt the wind at her feet and went straight to the back camp. As for Bala, she didn't even think about it.
see.
It can only be said that hunger can also make people blind...
Bala sat on the horse and saw Yaoyu running away in a sharp turn. She couldn't help but think to herself, if you want to be a coward? That's not possible. You have to poke her well and let her show her sharp teeth before negotiating.
.
So Bala tightened the horse's rope, raised his legs, and rolled off the horse in a graceful manner, once again causing the women to cry out.
When Bala walked to the back of the camp, she saw Yao Yu sitting under a big tree, happily eating millet flour wowo with syrup. There was also a wowo in the pottery bowl in front of her, which was probably hers.
Also ask the kitchen room for it.
Bala frowned, thinking that she was a low-class female assassin, but she shouldn't be so shameless. Could it be that she was paranoid?
Bala planned to test it again, so he waved, and someone immediately came forward. After Bala gave him a few instructions, he hid in a corner where no one was paying attention to observe the situation. The man walked straight to Yao Yu,
All her food was taken away.
Before Ying Yu could get angry, Xizhu'er who was passing by happened to see him, grabbed the man's wrist, and scolded him in a sweet voice, "What are you doing? There is still breakfast food left in the kitchen, how can you rob others?"
Yes? Don’t bully her just because she’s a newcomer.”
The man struggled hard and got rid of Xizhu'er's hand. He glanced at Yao Yudao with disgust, "The governor said she is too strong and can't eat so much. Otherwise, when she went to perform, Emperor Wei would have thought she was carrying
As for the powerful warriors of the tripod, how can they dance?"
The people around who were having breakfast burst into laughter when they heard this, and no one noticed the "click" sound.
Xizhu'er awkwardly came to Yao Yu's side, handed the nest in her hand to Yao Yu and said, "Why don't you eat mine first?"
Lux, right...Yaoyu's murderous aura could hardly be controlled at this time.
Seeing her lowering her head and not speaking, Xizhu'er thought she was embarrassed for being laughed at by everyone, so she sat next to her and comforted her, "Don't be angry. In fact, the governor is not bad. I don't know what happened this time..."
Xizhu'er was interested in Bala, so she instinctively wanted to express her love for her sweetheart. But she didn't expect that her words were like a heavy hammer hitting Yin Yu's heart.
Could it be that the governor was deliberately targeting her? Did she reveal her flaws somewhere? She had been careful enough, but she still couldn't hide it from the eyes of those who wanted to do it.
But the governor just asked his breakfast to be taken away, which seemed more like a test. In other words, he might not be very sure. In that case, he might as well play it out to the end.
Seeing that the people around her were still laughing at her, Yao Yu simply covered her face with her hands and ran away while pretending to cry. After Yao Yu ran away, everyone's laughter disappeared. After a while, they finished their breakfast, and those who should practice went to practice.
Those who should load the truck should go and load the truck. In two days, we will set off for the Northern Wei Dynasty.
After everyone in the camp was gone, Bala walked slowly to the big tree that Yingyu had been leaning against.
He looked up and down the tree, but didn't see anything strange. He reluctantly walked around the tree again, and when he saw what was on the back of the tree, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Bala touched a long gap on the back of the big tree that was obviously cracked by the shock, and laughed softly, "This is really a peck in the eye by an eagle. I treat such a high-level internal power as a low-level assassin."
A name suddenly flashed through his mind, "Could it be her?"
Throughout the whole day today, Yao Yu practiced dancing with Xizhu'er and observed secretly, but she didn't see the Bala Governor again.
Yaoyu didn't dare to take it lightly. During dinner, he took his own meal and went back to his tent.
Someone was teasing her from behind, "Nian'er, run faster, or the governor will send people to steal your food again."
For the next two days, apart from practicing dancing, Yao Yu hid in the tent, letting others laugh at her for protecting her food and not refuting.
Yaoyu hid until the day of departure, and then she realized that they were going to leave by boat.
There was mostly sandy land near Tongwan City in the Xia Dynasty (Note 6). Among the gifts presented to Emperor Wei this time were several giant beasts called elephants. Transportation on sandy land was inconvenient, so they had to take a boat and travel along the Sheyan River
It went down the river and turned to land after reaching Tujing County in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
When boarding the ship, Yao Yu saw Bala standing on the dock directing the shipment from a distance. The tribute ship was so huge that one had to stand far away to take in the bow and stern of the ship. And the tributes were numerous and complicated, ranging from extremely small to small.
Night Pearl, to those elephants.
But Bala didn't even need to look at the roster. He reported the names of the tributes one by one, inspected them, designated the location for shipment, tied them up, stored them in the warehouse, and assigned specific personnel to take charge.
That whole day, he remained unsmiling and commanded a team of nearly a thousand people in an orderly manner.
Seeing that Yaoyu was looking at Bala, Xi Zhuer deliberately tried to test, "You also have a crush on our governor?"
As if she didn't understand, Yao Yu said nonchalantly, "If you take the waterway, you have to take a long way. It won't delay the day of entering Pingcheng..."
Xi Zhuer poked Yao Yu's face affectionately and asked, "Are you so anxious to go to Pingcheng?"
"Yes." Yao Yu nodded. She wondered if her schedule was delayed, would Zimo be anxious?
Xi Zhu'er originally meant that Yao Yu was anxious to go to the Northern Wei Dynasty to invite favors, but she didn't know whether she didn't understand or was just pretending to be confused, so she admitted it carelessly. Xi Zhu'er privately thought that this would be good.
The shipment went smoothly. Just after noon, I saw an official coming to see him off. At that time, Yao Yu had already boarded the ship and was kneeling on the deck with everyone else. He only saw the official holding Bala's hand and patting it.
It seemed that he had been told something. Then Bala got on the boat. When the auspicious time came, the ship set sail under Bala's order.
"Hey, do you know why the river we control Wancheng is called Sheyanshui?"
Xi Zhuer has been unable to get close to her during the two days that Yao Yu has been hiding in the tent. Now that the two of them have been assigned to the same cabin, Xi Zhuer will naturally try to find ways to build a relationship with Yao Yu.
"I heard it's because gold can be found in this river. Our King Helian even sent many people to dig for gold because of this."
Gold? Yaoyu stretched her neck and looked at the river below the boat. Why didn’t Qiuchi have such a river? If so, why would she be selling the cemetery...
"That's great -" Yao Yu said sincerely with envy.
Xizhu'er's eyes flashed, it seemed that this Nian'er was greedy for money. As long as he loved money, he would find a way to bribe him. Assassins and the like were just the price of their employer.
