They were just low wooden houses, many of them made of large rocks, but they were all the same gray color and very inconspicuous.
This small town is called Xiemadian.
Li Luo and others rushed to Xiemadian. They had other plans for their trip. Zhou Fang knew Li Luo's identity and followed him. Feng Zhenming guarded the Chang'an Escort in Jianbei City. After all, these four carts of gold and silver treasures were not a small amount.
If something goes wrong, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the court to explain it to me.
Before leaving, Li Luo called Feng Zhenming privately to inform him of his identity.
Feng Zhenming was shocked. He really didn't expect that the man in front of him who was traveling with him was actually the famous Dingtian King of Dagan.
Although he had already vaguely guessed that Li Luo had an extraordinary background, this identity still frightened Feng Zhenming. Only then did he understand why the landlord had warned him carefully before leaving the city, that the two of them must act carefully and not make any mistakes.
Come on, it makes sense that there are so many experts from the Chang'an Escort Bureau.
After Feng Zhenming heard this, he couldn't help but blame Zhou Fang for a few words. He kept it secret all the way.
Li Luo smiled and apologized, only saying that it was him who prevented Zhou Fang from revealing his identity.
Feng Zhenming didn't expect Li Luo to be so easy to talk to, so he felt embarrassed and even said he didn't dare.
Li Luo did not hide anything and told Feng Zhenming about the purpose of his trip. He specifically asked Feng Zhenming to pay more attention and inquire about news inside and outside Yeliang Prefecture. However, the Chang'an Escort Bureau asked Feng Zhenming to help cover up one or two things.
Feng Zhenming knew that this was a serious matter, so he did not dare to neglect it and agreed continuously.
After Li Luoba and others left Jianbeicheng, Feng Zhenming had time to sigh, Prince Dagan, the royal prince, had more worries than half a building and he didn't know where he was going.
Feng Zhenming cheered up, and Li Luo trusted him. Not to mention Lou Shi Xianqiao's request, even a man with lofty ideals in Da Gan Jianghu couldn't play with it. State affairs are the top priority, so there is no room for carelessness.
Feng Zhenming immediately announced to the outside world that Zhou Fang had taken Li Luo to visit a senior martial artist who had disappeared outside the customs. As for who it was, Feng Zhenming did not say who it was. It was originally a myth, so he left it to the curious Wei Yi to guess.
Li Luo and others arrived at Xiemadian, and walking further ahead was Lima Pass. After some discussion, they stayed here, firstly to get information, and secondly, to wait for the imperial envoys to go north.
This time when they went to Mongolia as envoys, the Dagan court appointed Prince Hui Li Chengze and Prince Chun Li Chengye. Among the congratulatory gifts was a treasure, which was the highlight of this peace negotiation and trade. There was only such a piece in the entire Dagan. Obviously, Bandung
The emperor attached great importance to the opening of Shangfu.
It is impossible that no one in the imperial court knew about the use of this treasure. Maybe all the forces in Dagan have received the news.
Emperor Wanlong also knew that this matter was not trivial, so he secretly sent an order to Li Luo this time. On the surface, it was Prince Hui and Prince Chun who were carrying it, but in fact, he was asking Li Luo to take the first step with this treasure, and then secretly hand it over to Prince Hui and Prince Chun when the time came.
people.
At this moment, Li Luo had this foreign object hidden on his body. Humanity is like a treasure without a body. Only then did Li Luo realize that his words were true. He had brought this treasure with him for nothing. Even Li Luo did not dare to despise it. However, the burden on his shoulders increased again.
A bit heavier.
There is only one inn in Xie Ma Inn, with only three or five rooms. When Li Luo and others were waiting for them to pass by, they never expected that it was already full. It turned out that there were people who had arrived at Xie Ma Inn earlier. Looking at the appearance of the people in the inn
, but it really has the meaning of doing business.
Now that the guests were full, Li Luo and the others had no choice but to give up. They could not drive the guests out and occupy the magpie's nest.
The eight people led the horses and walked on the street in a daze, looking at each other and smiling bitterly. They had guessed all kinds of difficulties before coming here, but no one expected that they would not be able to find an inn where they could stay.
Zhou Fang touched his chin and said in embarrassment: "How about General Zhu and I go look around and see if any villagers can spare a few empty rooms for us to live in."
Li Luo glanced at the scattered houses along the street and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it won't be easy."
Zhou Fang followed Li Luo's gaze and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
The houses here only have three or two rooms per family, and it is rare to see any large families. The whole family is crowded into a small house, so there is no room for vacancies.
"Let's go around. It would be nice if there are abandoned houses that we can tidy up and stay in so that we can get shelter from the wind and rain."
"this?"
Li Luo smiled softly and said: "It doesn't matter. After serving in the army for several years, I can still bear this little hardship. It's just that I was negligent in letting Brother Zhou suffer with us."
"Wherever you go, it's common to travel around the world, eat and sleep in the open. The young master doesn't care. Zhou is a martial artist with rough skin and thick flesh, so it doesn't matter."
"Then let's look for it."
Everyone was about to search around when they suddenly heard a soft voice coming from a small house beside the road: "Do you guys want a cup of tea?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment and turned around. Not far away, they saw a woman wearing coarse linen clothes standing at the door and saying hello. She was sewing something under her hands. When Li Luo and the others looked over, they didn't get up.
He smiled and was still busy with the work at hand.
When they first heard this voice, several people invariably had the feeling that a woman with such a soft voice must be a beautiful woman. Unfortunately, when everyone saw it clearly, they couldn't help but let out a breath and secretly exclaimed that it was a pity.
The woman at the door has a blue face. Although she looks Zhou Zheng, she is covered with freckles. Not only is she pretty, but she is also a little ugly, which is far from what everyone thinks.
Li Luo and others are not people who judge people by their appearance, but there is always some regret.
Li Luo thought for a while and said, "It's okay, let's have a cup of tea and rest, and ask where we can find a house to stay temporarily."
Several people walked over. When the woman saw Li Luoba and others coming, she put down her sewing and stood up. She said with a smile: "I'll invite you here. The tea in the shop is very pure. I'll let you keep it."
Quench your thirst and go to work." After saying that, he wiped his hands on the linen clothes and stepped away.
The so-called "inside room" is just a shed set up in front of this house. Not only is there air and air leakage everywhere, even the roof of the shed has been repaired with several patches, and it makes a rattling sound when the wind blows.
Zhu Zhi looked up and couldn't help but feel happy. If he drank tea here on a heavy rainy day, he would probably be drowned.
The woman seemed not to notice the expressions of Zhu Zhi and others, and smiled calmly and said: "It's a bit crude, please don't be surprised."
"It's good to have a place to rest, why should we be surprised?" Li Luo and Yan responded.
Mu Tianlang quickly tied the horse to the poplar tree outside the house and walked in. There were two tables under the shed. The color was completely faded and the table legs were a bit rotten. As expected, it was as dilapidated as this horse resting shop.
depression.
When the woman saw Li Luo and eight people sitting down, she turned around and went into the house. After a while, she brought over two pots of tea and a few porcelain bowls. Although the porcelain was not of the best quality, it was very clean, which was rare in the windy sand of Beifu.
