Chapter 358 Going all the way north, reaching the north
Shen Anping left quietly without informing anyone.
Before leaving, he wrote a letter to Butler He and told him to pass it on to the eldest princess.
He didn't say where he was going, but he wanted to take a walk and maybe come back in a year or so. He asked the eldest princess to help look after the restaurant, and he could share five points of the profit with her.
Don’t underestimate these five points. If you run it well, you can earn a lot of money.
I've done my best, and whether the eldest princess wants it or not, that's her business.
Although it is said that a poor family can get rich, but now there are refugees everywhere, and showing one's wealth is courting death.
Shen Ning deliberately made the carriage old and worn. It looked damaged from the outside, but it was extremely comfortable inside.
In addition to Zhuqing, she brought Xiao Qin and three other nursing staff with her, and they took turns working as coachmen outside.
It's very spacious, so sleeping on it is no problem at all.
The snow kept melting outside the city, the roads were dirty and muddy, and the potholes made it difficult to walk quickly. The wheels of the car made a squeaking sound as they drove leisurely into the distance.
Shen Ning opened the curtains of the car and looked at the capital that was moving away, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
I have traveled through time for almost a year and have been living in the capital, and now I finally want to go out and see the outside world.
When can I come back? It’s hard to say.
When Pang Xingxiu heard the news, she sped up and chased for fifty miles, but she still couldn't catch up with Shen Ning. The front was covered with snow.
She hurried back to the palace, "Brother, the princess is gone."
"Where are you going?"
"I didn't tell you. Even Butler He doesn't know."
"It's so dangerous outside. The snow has just started to melt. Can you think of a way to get her back?"
What are you chasing after? It’s a good thing that he didn’t send more people to escort her.
Seeing that her brother was not in a hurry at all, and even had a bit of a smile on his face, Pang Xingxiu realized later and said, "Brother, has the princess gone to the north?"
"That goes without saying."
Pang Desong grinned. After all, the princess was not a piece of stone, but she still felt warm.
The eldest princess received Shen Ning's letter and put it away with a smile, "Finally I couldn't bear it anymore."
On the contrary, when King Pingnan learned that Shen Ning had left, his calm eyes flashed with waves, and his long knuckles holding the scroll tightened inch by inch.
Aning, do you really have to be the King of Jin?
Shen Ning had no idea what was going on in the capital.
At this time, she was wrapped in a blanket and sleeping in the carriage. It was so cold in the spring when the snow melted, and her teeth were chattering.
Zhuqing lit the charcoal fire.
After leaving the capital, the snow was getting thicker and there was still a lot of unmelted snow on the road, making it impossible to go fast.
He thought about staying overnight, but Xiao Qin refused, "Miss, you have lived in the capital for a long time and have rarely seen the darkness outside. Three consecutive natural disasters have driven many people crazy. Don't take it easy in a remote and remote place." Stay."
Those who robber on the road and those who open illegal shops.
It's okay to rob money, but I'm afraid even people will want it.
Worried that Shen Ning would be deceived, Xiao Qin said something, "One year I escorted the prince back and rested at an inn in the town. Their meat buns were so delicious that my subordinates ate five or six of them in one go.
After eating, I sent a portion to the prince’s room, but the prince smelled something wrong.”
Xiao Qin didn't say anything further, but Shen Ning knew that he never eats meat buns.
Shen Ning had seen this kind of scene in TV dramas, but she didn't expect it to actually happen in life.
"What happened next?"
"In a hurry, the prince killed all the shopkeepers and waiters in that shop."
So, the group spent the night in the wild.
Shen Ning and Zhu Qing slept in the carriage, while three guards set up tents next to them and took turns keeping watch at night.
All the way north, I walked very slowly.
The thick snow has not yet melted in places, so most of the time we have to take detours, and sometimes we only cover 70 or 80 miles in a day.
Not to mention dry food, we even brought pots and pans.
When people are on the road, eating is a big deal, and Shen Ning knows how to cook when she becomes interested.
If she hadn't been on a mission, she would have really wanted to wander around and think of it as traveling in an RV.
The further north you go, the harder it becomes. From time to time you will encounter homeless refugees on the road, chasing the carriage to get food.
Xiao Qin whipped his whip to speed up without stopping.
Occasionally, bodies are found on the roadside.
On the road, anything can happen.
Shen Ning also encountered a porcelain old lady in tattered clothes who fell to the ground some distance away from the carriage. In the distance were villagers holding hoes menacingly.
Xiao Qin jumped off the carriage and raised his palm to strike.
The old lady was not hit, but she was still hit on a big tree by the roadside.
The big tree fell down in response.
The old lady who was lying on the ground wailing and had her leg broken got up and ran faster than a rabbit.
Just as the robbers passed by, the robbers came again.
The road is blocked by trees, so if you want to cross, you have to leave money to buy the road.
His voice was arrogant, and you could tell he was a bandit.
Shen Ning wrapped herself in quilt and continued to sleep.
Without her having to say anything, Xiao Qin beat them into pig heads and obediently moved the trees out of the way.
The sharp swords were unsheathed and all were sent to see the King of Hell.
Zhu Qing covered her mouth in fear, "Brother Qin, they all knew they were wrong and they were still kneeling on the ground begging for mercy. Why did you go back on your word and kill them?"
"They were born to eat this bowl. When we leave, they will continue to rob a group of people. Killing them will be justice for heaven."
Shen Ning deeply agreed, "Xiao Qing'er, learn more from your brother Qin."
This group of people had a lot of experience in survival, so she simply left it to them and let them arrange it.
When we arrived at Lucheng, the sky was overcast and it had been raining heavily for several days.
The rain and snow melted faster, making people's toes tremble with the cold.
Shen Ning stayed at the inn for three days and waited until the rain stopped before continuing north.
After being washed by rain, the ice on the road has almost melted, and the road ahead is much smoother.
More than two hundred miles past Lucheng is the border with the northern border.
After calculation, it has been more than ten days since we left the capital, but the northern border is very large, and we are still half way to Jian'an.
Entering the northern border, the terrain is much more open and flat, with white everywhere.
You need to be more careful when walking. In addition to the difficulty of finding the road, the melting snow will create many holes, and the wheels of your vehicle will sink in if you are not careful.
I still don’t realize it when I’m in the capital, but why do I get more nervous the closer I get to Jian’an?
Shen Ning took a deep breath and looked at the endless world outside the window.
After walking for another eight days, the carriage slowly entered Jian'an City.
Different from the capital city, the buildings in Jian'an City have very local characteristics, and the outlines of the local people are also slightly different.
The man is tall, has rough facial contours and figure, and speaks in a thick voice.
The girls are tall, with big eyes, big noses and deep facial features. They are beauties that can be seen everywhere in the street.
Jian'an is not as prosperous as Beijing, but the people in the city feel calm and settled, and they don't seem to be affected at all by the border war.
As the carriage walked down the street, the smell of roasted naan and barbecue filled the air, and the stalls also sold horse milk and goat milk wine.
Shen Ning opened the car curtain and looked around curiously.
Not short of money, a few people stayed at the best inn in Jian'an, with an independent courtyard with a backyard.
Xiao Qin was familiar with Jian'an and went to buy the most delicious food with the front yard clerk.
About a stick of incense, heated fresh milk, roasted naan, roasted mutton, roasted beef, roasted buns, mutton soup, etc.
After a tiring journey, everyone did not take a good rest but sat and feasted.
Their smiles were hearty, as if they were happy to return home.
It was indeed delicious. Shen Ning accidentally stuffed her stomach and tasted the kumiss.
Southern dogs are not used to eating, but they still drink milk obediently.
After eating and drinking, we went back to our rooms to rest.
The Shen family is in the countryside, more than three hundred miles away from Jian'an City.
This is no different from the capital city. There are mountains, rivers and landmarks everywhere. Now it’s so white that you can’t see anything. If you’re not careful, you might go in the wrong direction.
Rest in Jian'an City for a few days, and it's not too late to start again later.
I wanted to take a nap, but I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
