A westbound carriage was speeding along the sparsely populated road.
After driving for two days and two nights, the people in the carriage were already exhausted. In this situation, not to mention the people sitting in the carriage, the people driving outside were also very tired!
Yuan Li's body was tense, and the palms of her hands had already been torn by the riding crop! But she knew that she couldn't stop, because before leaving, her brother specifically told her that there were many dangers along the way. Only by reaching the destination as soon as possible could there be less danger!
"Yuan Li, you get in the carriage and have a rest, let me do it!"
Cai Xing lifted the car curtain, stuck his head out, and said to Yuan Li.
Yuan Li shook her head. During the past two days on the road, she had already heard from Bai Yanqing about Cai Xing's life experience and how they were going to Xingyue Kingdom this time!
Now, let’s not say that Cai Xing’s identity is extraordinary! Let’s just say that Cai Xing’s eye-catching appearance, if she were to sit in front of the carriage, she might attract many killers!
"I'll do it! Yuan Li, you get in the carriage and rest for a while, and I'll drive. Although the speed is slower, it's better than you holding on! If this continues, if you encounter any trouble, you won't be able to handle it!"
Bai Yanqing pulled Cai Xing back into the carriage, then lifted the curtain and directly persuaded Yuan Li to stop.
Yuan Li was hesitant, wondering whether he should let Bai Yanqing show his face. Because Yuan Li knew that the killers and secret guards along the way were not only here to chase Caixing!
"Don't worry! They are also waiting and watching, they don't dare to take action yet!"
Bai Yanqing patted Yuan Li on the shoulder and comforted her.
Hearing this, Yuan Li turned over and got into the carriage, giving up his seat as the driver.
Seeing this, Bai Yanqing immediately jumped up and sat in the driving position, then tightened the reins to make the horse run slower! People need to rest, let alone horses?
Realizing that the speed of the carriage suddenly slowed down, Ling Yu thought something had happened, whipped his whip and followed him. When he saw Bai Yanqing driving the carriage, he was stunned at first, and then glanced at the carriage compartment.
"Don't look anymore, I asked Yuan Li to take a rest!"
Bai Yanqing turned her head and explained to Lingyu.
Lingyu nodded silently, then tightened the reins and slowed down his horse!
"There should be a post station not far ahead. At that time, we will stop for a while and prepare some dry food and water!"
Bai Yanqing said to Lingyu.
They have been running for two days and two nights, and the horses can't stand it anymore! If you rest for a while, it should be no big deal. Bai Yanqing didn't expect that they and the horses would collapse from exhaustion before they even arrived at their destination!
Before leaving, Yuan Ziyue gave Bai Yanqing a map, saying that Yun Qi specially told him to give it to Bai Yanqing. Bai Yanqing opened the map and what he saw was the route map they should take for this trip!
This route map is very thoughtfully marked! Yunqi carefully marked which river, which mountain, which inn, etc. they would pass along the way to the west! Thanks to Yunqi's
This road map allowed Bai Yanqing and the others to avoid many detours along the way!
Not far away, an inn is located alone in a vast area with few people!
Seeing the word "Inn", Bai Yanqing's eyes suddenly lit up! She hurriedly greeted Ling Yu, asking him to ride faster and go over to explore first!
Lingyu waved his riding whip, kicked the horse's belly with both feet, and rode towards the inn!
There were not many people in the deserted inn. Only a few people who seemed to be on their way were sitting in the lobby of the inn.
Lingyu turned around and walked out, and happened to catch a glimpse of Bai Yanqing arriving in a carriage!
"Xu..."
Bai Yanqing shouted, stopped the horse, and then jumped down from the carriage. Immediately afterwards, Yuan Li and Cai Xing, also wearing bamboo hats, lifted the curtains and jumped out of the carriage!
"There are not many people at this inn!"
Ling Yu frowned slightly. For such a deserted inn, he always felt an indescribable... discomfort in his heart!
"Don't be so sensitive!"
Of course Bai Yanqing knew what Ling Yu was worried about. She walked to Ling Yu's side, reached out and patted Ling Yu's shoulder to express comfort.
Lingyu nodded and said nothing. He only raised his feet and walked to Cai Xing's side, then followed closely behind her.
Seeing this, Yuan Li also hurriedly took steps, ran to Bai Yanqing's side, and protected her tightly!
Several people entered the inn one after another.
It was indeed very quiet inside the inn. After a few people entered, no one came out to greet them!
"Where is the postman?"
Bai Yanqing shouted loudly at the top of her voice.
Not long after, I saw a man dressed lazily in the clothes of a postman walking out of the room!
"Who is here making such a fuss?"
The man who looked like a postman seemed to be in the prime of his life. He was scolding loudly and confidently, and he didn't look so weak at all!
"Excuse me, is there any food? Let me wait for a hot meal before I go on my way."
Bai Yanqing stepped forward and stood in front of the man who looked like a postman. Bai Yanqing was a whole head shorter than that man, and even when talking to him, Bai Yanqing had to raise her head!
"There's nothing hot, but there's cold. If you want to eat, just go to the kitchen and heat it up yourself! I don't have time to heat the food for you!"
There was a hint of impatience on the man's face, and then he choked out unceremoniously.
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing frowned slightly: "Cold? How can you eat this cold food?"
"Miss, don't panic, I'll do it!"
Caixing stepped forward, gently tugged on Bai Yanqing's sleeve, and said softly.
"Excuse me, big brother, please take me to the kitchen, and we can cook a few dishes by ourselves, okay?"
Cai Xing took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, and then raised it in front of the man who looked like a postman!
When the man saw the silver, his eyes widened! Without hesitation, he reached out and snatched the silver from Cai Xing's hand!
"Okay, okay, I'll take you there!"
The man got the silver, weighed it in his hands, and then said to Caixing with a smile on his face.
"Wait, let's go together!"
Bai Yanqing pulled Yuan Li and winked at Ling Yu. Then, they followed the man and walked to the kitchen together!
"You guys can help yourself! I won't accompany you!"
The man took Bai Yanqing and others to find the kitchen, then he took the money and left happily.
The back kitchen of the inn can be described as... a mess, a mess! Water spilled on the floor, rotten vegetable leaves and egg shells scattered everywhere on the stove... Pots and pans are placed everywhere! Dirty
, it looks like no one has used it for a long time!
"Fortunately, there are still a few eggs!"
Several people dug through a pile of rotten vegetable leaves and finally found a few whole eggs!
Cai Xing quickly tidied up the stove, and then asked Ling Yu to find some dry firewood. He lit the firewood and stuffed it into the stove. When green smoke rose from the pot, Cai Xing poured some more oil.
After going in and waiting for the oil to heat up, she gently cracked the eggs and cracked them into the oil pan. The sound of the oil sizzling instantly aroused Bai Yanqing's appetite!
In the past two days, she had been rushing so hard that she didn't even have a chance to take a bite of hot food. Now, with the hot scrambled eggs in the pot, how could she not drool?
“It smells so good!”
The fragrant scrambled eggs attracted Bai Yanqing to swallow again and again!
"Yuan Qi, bring us some of our dry food!"
Cai Xing kept stirring the spatula in his hand, and then without raising his head, he said to Yuan Li.
Yuan Li had long been used to it, and she helped Cai Xing. After hearing this, she hurriedly ran out, and after a while, she came in with a few steamed buns!
Cai Xing took the steamed bun, cut it open with a knife, and then sandwiched the fried eggs between the two pieces of steamed bun.
"Miss, give it a try!"
Cai Xing took the first steamed bun with eggs and handed it to Bai Yanqing.
Bai Yanqing happily took it and put it into her mouth hurriedly. The fried and fragrant eggs were tender and hot, sandwiched in the cool steamed buns, which had a unique flavor!
"Don't waste this oil!"
Cai Xing looked at the remaining steamed buns and cut them all into slices! Then, he put the steamed bun slices into the oil pan and fried them until both sides were golden!
The steamed buns were cold and originally hard and hard to swallow, but Cai Xing's wonderful hands made them crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! Even the children were so greedy that they cried!
"Is it tasty?"
Cai Xing smiled happily when he saw Yuan Li devouring it!
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! It's delicious! It's so delicious! Cai Xing, you are worthy of it! Any food in your hands can become extremely delicious!"
Yuan Li was chewing on the steamed bun slices and was so busy that he couldn't bear to lift his head!
Ling Yu was the calmest one. He bit into a piece of fried steamed bun and chewed it slowly. His eyes were extremely alert, looking around!
"Don't look at it. Only when you are full can you have the strength to fight!"
Bai Yanqing quietly approached Ling Yu, and her sudden opening of her mouth startled Ling Yu, who was in a state of mental stress!
"you……"
Ling Yu couldn't swallow a mouthful of steamed buns and almost choked to death!
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Seeing Ling Yu in such embarrassment, Bai Yanqing smiled so hard that she couldn't even straighten her waist! This was the first time she saw Ling Yu in such embarrassment!
Dressed in a green shirt, with a delicate appearance and a cold and indifferent expression, Ling Yu would be frightened!
"Miss!"
When Cai Xing saw Ling Yu like that, he couldn't bear it and handed Ling Yu a bottle of water. Finally, he didn't forget to blame Bai Yanqing!
Bai Yanqing smiled and said nothing. Seeing such a scene, she felt happy in her heart!
When several people finished their meal and were about to leave the kitchen, they heard a "swish" sound and a sharp sword came through the air!
Seeing this, Yuan Li quickly drew his sword and stood up in front of Bai Yanqing!
"Back off!"
Ling Yu reached out and pushed Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing into the kitchen, then raised his feet and faced the sharp sword!
Across the door frame, Bai Yanqing raised his eyes and looked out. He saw a few people wearing black clothes and black scarves, holding sharp swords and attacking Yuan Li and Ling Yu!
Several people came with their swords pointed directly at Caixing, with strong murderous intent!
"It seems that this wave of people is here to kill you!"
Bai Yanqing tilted her head, smiled and talked to Cai Xing. It was as if she didn't care at all about the assassins outside!
Caixing sighed helplessly. She knew that Bai Yanqing would be implicated sooner or later for her own affairs, but she never thought that these people would come so quickly!
Yuan Li flew out and quickly threw the sword in his hand. The sword edge was directly towards one of the men in black! The man in black was not an ordinary person. He raised his arm and swung his sword, and slashed Yuan Li's sword.
The sword swung around! Yuan Li dodged sideways, and then flew to catch his sword! At this moment, Ling Yu arrived at the right time, and added a sword in time. The man in black dodged.
Unlucky, he took Ling Yu’s sword abruptly!
Blood dyed Ling Yu’s sword red!
"After all, he picked up the sword for you!"
Bai Yanqing stared at the scene in front of her and said leisurely.
Cai Xing knew that Bai Yanqing was talking to her. At this moment, Cai Xing tensed up and stared at Ling Yu, her eyes never leaving for a moment! She was scared, afraid that Ling Yu would get hurt for herself!
Bai Yanqing was not as nervous as Cai Xing. She was pacing in the kitchen, as if she was looking for something. Not long after, she saw her coming out carrying a jar of lamp oil!
"Lingyu, Yuanli, get out of the way!"
Bai Yanqing carried the lamp oil jar and shouted loudly. Hearing this, Ling Yu and Yuan Li quickly flew back until they reached the kitchen door!
At this moment, Bai Yanqing suddenly raised his hand and poured out all the jar of lamp oil!
