Half fairy

Chapter 20 Departure
Xu Bo had already reacted, and staring at the big pot of rice, he was also a little stunned, and also understood that he was negligent, and the insect did not understand this, it was he who forgot to remind.

The key point is that he doesn't usually worry about cooking, and he doesn't need to explain when he cooks food. He always wants to make sure that he is full, so that's it.

Xu Bo scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Brother Shiheng, it's really not to blame for this..."

"Stop!" Yu Qing raised his hand, and let go of the insect, and slowly pressed his palm against his heart. It was called angina, and it was a serious heartache.

How much money did you grab by beating up your senior brother?This little book boy, 1000 taels of silver was stewed for him casually, how can it be embarrassing for the three senior brothers to know?Unfortunately, he hasn't given a reason yet.

Who makes himself unable to stop talking nonsense about 'fullness', he forgot that Xu Fei practiced external exercises, and has the style of practicing hard exercises horizontally. Such people often have a great appetite and need to eat sea food to maintain the consumption of the body. , belongs to the kind who can ask for a few pounds of meat and a few pounds of wine as soon as you sit in the hotel and pat the table.

How could you make such a low-level mistake?

I can only comfort myself. When the horse stumbled, I was outside the rivers and lakes for a while, and I was dazzled by the identity of the scholar who was rushed to the exam. It was a big miscalculation!

After he figured it out, Yu Qing waved his big hand and said with great grief and indignation: "Eat, eat it all for me, and pull it after eating, no one is allowed to mention this to me from now on, not a single word, otherwise don't. Blame Lao Tzu for turning his face!" After saying that, he picked up his rice bowl and ate wildly.

He didn't understand, how could an accident happen as soon as the Lingmi was cooked?

Chung wiped away his tears and choked: "Young master, you can save some for tomorrow, and I can still eat it when it's hot tomorrow."

"Hmm..." Yu Qing, who was devoured, almost choked to death on the spot. He choked his neck and rolled his eyes. He punched his chest twice before he could catch his breath. He turned around and immediately looked for water to drink.

Xu Fei was also dumbfounded, "Chong'er, this is Lingmi, which is different from white rice. Lingmi's preciousness lies in the spiritual energy it contains, and there is a film on the surface to seal the spiritual energy. Once it is cooked and cracked, the spiritual energy cannot be locked. It will fade away slowly. Therefore, it cannot be stored for a long time after cooking, and it needs to be eaten as soon as possible within a certain period of time, otherwise it will be wasted.”

He has also eaten Lingmi, but he has only eaten it, and he cannot afford to eat it often.

People who practice martial arts know the benefits of eating Lingmi, but many people are blocked from the threshold of 'can't afford it'.

His Xu Fei's family was considered a wealthy family in a small place. How to describe the degree of wealth?An analogy can be drawn.

Ordinary people, [-] taels of silver is enough to feed a family for half a year.

His family's property belongs to the kind that can earn a few hundred taels a month without any problem, and is considered a small rich family.

Therefore, it’s okay to try something new occasionally, but it’s impossible to eat Lingmi as a meal, and it’s even more impossible to eat a thousand taels of silver in front of you.

"What are you talking about, eat!" Yu Qing couldn't swallow his grievance, so he roared again.

Xu Bo saw his suffocation, hehe smiled, he was not polite, and threw his arms away to eat.

Bug'er wiped away tears while feeding the two of them with food.

The more you eat, the less you lose. Yu Qing worked hard with this mentality.

However, the amount of food is really not enough. It’s true that people want to live up to their expectations, but their stomachs are not good enough. After a few bowls, they can’t eat anymore.

I wanted to lose a little less, but I couldn't kill myself, so I had to stop, and I could only watch Xu Fei eat the sea there.

The more he looked at him, the more angry he became, and he didn't want to see Xu Bo taking a big advantage by himself. In addition, it was pitiful to see Zong'er beside him, so Yu Qing forced Zong'er to eat together.

Chung'er naturally did not dare, but was threatened by Yu Qing's anger, Xu Bo also let Chung'er calm down, and then Chung'er bit the bullet and ate it.

The insect wanted to eat something casually, but Yu Qing forced him to eat three bowls.

The rest, more than half, were easily put into Xu Bo's stomach. Seeing him pat his stomach a little regretfully, he obviously didn't feel full.

Yu Qing put his arms around his full stomach and went back with unspeakable pain...

One fine morning, seventy carriages and thousands of escorts, this is the lineup of Liezhou escorting candidates to Beijing.

Three hundred and eighteen candidates left the academy where they temporarily lived, and the group left Liezhou Fucheng in a mighty way.

After leaving the city, dozens of riders drove ahead to clear the road. All the people within three miles in front of the travel team were all driven away from the official road to find a place to avoid, and they could continue to travel on the road after the travel team passed.

Of the seventy carriages, forty are for candidates.

Eight candidates are seated in a carriage, three-three-two, three on each side and two at each end.

Although it is a bit crowded, it is relatively good, after all, there are carriages on the way.

It is also impossible for each candidate to be equipped with a single carriage. If there are more than [-] carriages, how long will the travel route be, and how many people must be sent to escort them?
The reason for arranging [-] carriages was that it was the best choice for meticulous calculation after integrating various conditions.

Compared with the more than [-] bookboys accompanying them, the escort team only gave them ten carriages, and it was impossible for more than [-] people to squeeze ten carriages, not to mention that the candidates' main luggage was still borne by them.

The main function of the ten carriages is to carry the candidates' luggage, and the accompanying bookboys take turns to get on the carriages to rest, and most of the time they walk behind the carriages.Most of the thousands of officers and soldiers escorted were also walking, so how could a mere scholar have any complaints.

Yu Qing couldn't ride in the same car with Xu Fei. He saw that Xu Fei was pulled into the car by four guys who wore a pair of pants everywhere.

Of the seven people in the car with him, Yu Qing didn't know any of them, and he didn't want to associate with these people.He listened to the chatter and laughter of Qiwen Crepe, and didn't know if these people knew that there was a monster who wanted to kill the examinee. He kept his vigilance secretly, and turned his head to observe the movement outside.

There were hundreds of people wearing gray cloaks and coats in the escort team, and it was obvious that they were from Sinan Mansion.

Xu Juening and Tang Bran also changed into the same clothes and were in the team. Yu Qing saw them, but they didn't notice Yu Qing.

What attracted Yu Qing the most were some of his fellow archers. The bows carried by these archers were black and non-reflective matte metal bows. If you guessed correctly, it should be the 'Ink Shadow Bow'. A strong bow that cannot be opened at all in the realm, once it is pulled, the arrow's shooting power is amazing, and it is not a problem to penetrate the monument and crack the stone.

Basically, there is only one kind of person who can master the 'Moying Bow' with ease, the archer!

There were more than a dozen people carrying the Mo Ying Bow, just based on what Yu Qing observed in the car temporarily.

After the team set off, the road will be non-stop during the day. Unless there are special circumstances, it must rush to the next designated town on the same day.Just because there are too many people in the group, the general inn on the way does not have such reception capacity, at least in terms of living, it cannot meet the minimum needs.

The post station is only responsible for supplying water to the team, or repairing and replacing individual carriages and horses after they have problems.

Dry food is always eaten for lunch, and only hot meals and corresponding resting places are available after arriving in designated towns.

Designate a place, eat dinner and rest, wake up and eat breakfast before leaving, and then have lunch and dry food. It is similar to a cycle. It lasts for two or three months, and it is not over until it reaches the capital.Don't look at the carriage, it's actually the speed of walking.

The first destination on the previous day, because it was close to the state capital, the team arrived before the evening.

A military camp in a county town was temporarily vacated for the test team.

The barracks where 1000 people were originally stationed suddenly had 800 people, and it suddenly seemed crowded, but fortunately, there were many open spaces.

When Yu Qing got off the carriage and looked around, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he saw a gray-haired old man, also an archer, carrying a wooden bow with a bow like the twisted roots of a tree. , the color is burnt black, and there are many circles of silver spots on the surface, like eyes of different sizes.

If you guessed correctly, this should be the 'horned dragon bow', which is said to be the root of a tree that grows on the cliffs. , is a strong bow steered by Xuan-level archers.

Looking at the old man archer who got off the first car, he is qualified to ride in the first car, his identity is self-evident, Xuan-level archer!

Also getting off the car were the highest-ranking officials of the entire team, who were also the escorts for the trip, as well as the person in charge of the escorts in the Sinan House.

More than one, among the convoys that entered the school grounds one after another, an archer carrying a 'horned dragon bow' descended from a carriage in the middle, and one of the vehicles at the rear also descended.

A Xuan-level archer is already a terrifying killer-level existence, and there are three at the same time in this trip?Yu Qing was secretly startled, and when he checked it carefully, he found that there were as many as forty or fifty martial-level archers.

These people alone can defend against thousands of troops and horses. In addition to sighing, Yu Qing also breathed a sigh of relief. With such a powerful guard force, the evildoers should not be afraid of them on the way...

There are not enough sleeping rooms in the barracks. The best rooms are for civil and military officials of high rank. Naturally, those great archers should not be neglected.

The second is the candidates, all of them sleep in the same bed, ten people in one room.

The miscellaneous rooms are reserved for soldiers, and some tents are enough.

The accompanying bookboys also sleep in tents, but there are not enough tents, so some bookboys have to sleep under the eaves.

This was not the case when going to Beijing in previous years. The book boy can also squeeze into the master's room to take care of the master's daily life. This time, the number of guards who went to Beijing has doubled and doubled.

When Yu Qing found the book boy Chong Er after dinner, Chong Er was squatting on the ground with a group of book boys in a circle, in front of a wooden barrel, one by one reaching out and grabbing a spoon to scoop out the paste mixed with vegetable leaves and pour it into a bowl to eat.I don't know what it is. Anyway, it doesn't look any different from pig food. Some bookboys from good families will frown when they smell it, and it's hard to swallow after a little try.

After the insect tasted the mouth, he continued to pull in his mouth in a muffled voice.
