Zizheng, half past midnight, Chen Xiuyan and her party looked at the Emei Moon in the sky. Most of the moon was blocked, making the surrounding scenery look dim. They waited for a quarter of an hour before the torches were lit.

Wearing cotton-padded clothes and simple attire, the group traveled lightly into battle, carrying two ordinary carriages and six ordinary horses, and quietly left from the woods three miles away from the camp.

There are three children in Chen Xiuyan's family, Luo Mingxin, Princess Changshou and Eunuch Xia, Hu Yuanan and Jiao Niang, as well as Mother Miao and Fuyu Lerong, mother and daughter, a total of eleven people.

The secret guards led by Hidden in the Dark followed from far and near, detecting the surroundings and exploring the path ahead. The group of people marched smoothly.

"Sister." In the carriage, Changshou Princess Chu Qi was wearing a red coat and skirt with an ordinary beaded flower on her head. She was leaning on Chen Xiuyan's shoulder with a smile and called her eldest sister sweetly.

The identity of their group on this trip is that Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan are the master and mistress of the house, Luo Mingxin and Chu Qi are both sisters, Hu Yuanan and Aman are siblings and cousins, and the rest are servants.

This time we will bring Fuyu Lerong and Aman's mother and daughter. Firstly, Fuyu Lerong's condition can only be controlled by Chen Xiuyan. Secondly, with Aman here, Hu Yuanan's appearance and identity will not be easily revealed. A person with white hair and white eyebrows

It's conspicuous, but when there are two of them, it doesn't look so special anymore.

Eunuch Xia was driving the carriage for Chen Xiuyan and her group. Sitting in the other carriage were Mother Miao and Fuyu Lerong's mother and daughter. The driver was Jiao Niang.

Chu Wenqian and Hu Yuanan were riding horses outside, with a total of four horses pulling the cart. They were really frugal.

"Aqi is very happy?" Chen Xiuyan couldn't help but smile when she looked at Princess Changshou who was smiling sweetly.

"Um."

"Sister?" She had already slept for a while, and now she was in high spirits. When she heard Princess Changshou's call, she immediately imitated it and called Chen Xiuyan like this.

"Whatever, I called you eldest sister, you should call me mother." Princess Changshou took Sui Ran from Luo Mingxin's arms and put her in her arms, and began to teach him how to call her.

Everyone in the carriage had taken off their gorgeous clothes and jewelry, and their identities were arranged by King Taiping. At this time, everyone was familiar with their new identities.

Chen Xiuyan and her party pretended to be merchants visiting relatives. Her family was in the grain business and her relatives were married in Serya. This trip was both a visit to relatives and a business trip.

Here they were traveling all night, while on the other side King Taiping, who was seeing off Chu Wenqian, took Luan'an to look at the two tents full of food and medicinal materials.

Luan'an was very surprised, but King Taiping looked calm, so he didn't ask. He had always admired his master's ability, and it was not difficult to get food and fodder for two tents.

King Taiping knew that this must have been left by Chen Xiuyan. Although it was not yet time to fight, Chen Xiuyan was originally unwilling to leave because she was thinking about food and grass. He persuaded and explained before leaving. Unexpectedly, he stayed like this.

Lots of food and grass.

"It was packed up overnight, covered with oilcloth, and blended into the dowry convoy." After the arrangements were made, King Taiping went to take a nap.

Chen Xiuyan and her party took a small road instead of the original main road to get married. The distance to Serya was shorter. When daytime came, they met several groups of people who were also on the road, including Tatars and Chu people.

, dressed very similar to them, and after asking and answering questions, I found out that they were either visiting relatives or doing business, and we were all from the same place.

Hu Yuanan got on the carriage at dawn, and Chu Wenqian was the only one riding outside, so he was the one who talked the most to those he met on the road.

Chu Wenqian spoke authentic Tatar, which was praised by both Tatar and Chu people. However, it was only after learning that Chu Wenqian and his party were from Pianguan County that they realized that they spoke so well because of the similar geographical boundaries and the same language.

Then I found the reason.

Knowing that Chu Wenqian was in the grain business, the Tatar people on the way were very interested. They were also in business. If they could purchase goods from Chu Wenqian, it would be a long-term business.

"Sorry, the business at home is not big, and the food is limited. I can only supply it to those who have cooperated before." Chu Wenqian said slightly apologetically, "But we can leave each other's addresses. If there is extra food, we must follow Brother Tu Su.

."

"Thank you in advance, Brother Hu." Tu Suying cupped his hands towards Chu Wenqian and grinned with joy. The white teeth in the middle of his thick beard were particularly dazzling.

"There is a place to stay ahead. Brother Hu, you can come with us. We are going to Serya anyway. Let's go together later."

"Okay." Chu Wenqian agreed. It would be safer for them to go with others.

In order to conceal one's identity, changing one's surname was the first step. Chu is the national surname of Chu State, as anyone with some common sense would know, so the Chu surname of Chu Wenqian and his party during this trip was all changed to Hu Yuanan's Hu surname.

As for the place Tu Suying mentioned, Chu Wenqian and his party originally thought it was a cave or a depression sheltered from the wind, but they didn't expect it to be a place like the Chu State Inn. It was right on the roadside. Of course it was not a public one, but a private inn -

—Yingfeng Inn.

When Chen Xiuyan and her party got off the carriage, they were a little surprised to see the inn covering several acres, and then they were pleasantly surprised.

"I didn't expect there was an inn here." Chu Wenqian directly expressed his surprise.

"Brother Hu, you don't come here often, so you don't know. This Yingfeng Inn was just opened last year, and it's a lot more convenient. We originally needed to stay one night in the wild, but now we stay here." Tu Suying explained with a smile.

Hu Yuanan and Aman came out of another carriage. Both of them were tightly wrapped, but the exposed eyebrows and some white hair on the top of their heads were still very conspicuous, which made Tu Suying's hearty laughter stop.

"My cousins ​​from my in-laws' family were brought from my mother's womb. Except for some differences in appearance, they are just like ordinary people." Chu Wenqian did not hide them, but explained the reason very generously.

Hu Yuanan and Aman both saluted Tu Suying and called people, all in standard Tatar dialect. However, when talking to Chen Xiuyan and others, Hu Yuanan still spoke Chuguo dialect, and Aman rarely spoke. Such a scene

Tu Suying didn't find it strange at all, but felt a little pity for the siblings in his heart.

The structure inside the Yingfeng Inn is very similar to that of the Chu State's inn, because the place where it was built was in a depression. Even if it was on the roadside, it was very windproof, and the building was still a brick house, which was even more windproof.

The young man who greeted guests in the inn didn't look like a Tatar, and the Tatar he spoke was a bit hard to pronounce. When he found out that Chu Wenqian and the others were from Chu, he quickly switched to Chu's dialect.

"Brother Hu, you don't know. The owner of Yingfeng Inn is from the Chu country. When it comes to business, you Chu people are smarter." Tu Suying praised very sincerely.
