Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 229

There was a moment of silence in the tea shed.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that the Huatou was just for fun after dinner, but who knew there was an insider.

Fang Yao also glanced over curiously. The man who was yelling was sitting in the middle. He was a tall man with dark skin. He was wearing a very thick long cotton armor with a big knife hanging on his waist. He really looked like a soldier.

The five people at their table were all dressed in the same way, and two of them quickly tore his clothes and scolded: "You bastard, why are you so drunk, why don't you just walk around, eat and go back quickly."

One of them took out some copper coins and put them on the table, shouted "Xiao Er pays the bill", then picked up his drunk companion and left in a nonchalant way.

As soon as these people left, the tea shed instantly became lively, talking about Ye Guogong's new son-in-law, and even the boss of the tea shed got involved.

"I didn't expect that those few people just now were the former comrades of the county horse master."

"Tsk tsk, you're so bold, you're not afraid to even scold Master Rabbit like that..."

"I heard that the new son-in-law is really like a frail scholar. He looks gentle and handsome. The Yiping county magistrate will promise him with his body when he returns."

Fang Yao, who had been listening for a long time with her ears upright, was a little depressed. She only wanted to hear about the snow monster. Why did these people focus on the Mayor of Nalaoshizi County.

Yang Gao was more anxious than her, picked up the jug and knocked on the table, shouting in a rough voice: "Where's the snow monster? What's the matter with the snow monster?"

At first glance, he looked like a river and lake man traveling all over the world, and the merchants and guards in the tea shed didn't think about anything else, they only thought of him as an outsider who liked to join in the fun.

Especially the boss, Yang Gao and the others have almost finished buying the stewed beef in the store, thinking that they can close the stall earlier today, the boss brought a small plate of pickles to Fang Yao's table, and said enthusiastically: "Everyone just came to us Chauncey?"

Fang Yao and Fan Chen didn't reply, they both lowered their heads and ate.

Yang Gao nodded, "Yes, what the hell is that snow monster? It sounds a little frightening."

"Hey, I heard that the Lord of Yiping County went to Cangling Temple to pray for blessings half a month ago, somehow he wandered to the back mountain of the temple, and was kidnapped by a snow monster that suddenly appeared."

The boss scratched his head, "No one has seen what the snow monster looks like except the county master. Later, Ye Guogong sent someone to search the back mountain, but he didn't see any snow monster."

Fang Yao and the others looked at each other, Yang Gao rolled his eyes, and smiled: "It's fine if there are no snow monsters. I've been afraid of those monsters since I was a child."

The boss looked at Yang Gao's figure, "Guest officer, with your figure, it should be the monster who is afraid of you."

There was laughter all around again.

Thinking that there would be nothing to ask from these people, Fang Yao and the others packed up the remaining beef and drinks, paid the bill and left the tea shed together.

The snow that had been a little smaller before became heavier again. Except for the official road where horses and horses travel, the snow in other places is almost up to the thigh, and the sky and the earth are white.

Even the roof of their carriage had accumulated a foot of snow.

Fang Yao took out a simple ladder and a broom from the back of the carriage, and everyone cleaned up the snow on the carriages and ox carts, so that the laborers who pulled the carts could also lighten the burden.

After tidying up all these, Fang Yao started to walk to the front carriage, and Fan Chen naturally followed her.

Walking to the side of the carriage, Fang Yao lifted her heavy long skirt and climbed up as usual, when suddenly an arm blocked her.

She turned her head and looked at the people around her. The latter hadn't eaten anything in the store just now, let alone touched the soju, but now her cheeks were slightly red.

Is this to help her into the car?

Around, there were a few people looking here, Fang Yao's face was also a little hot, and she pretended to be bold: "No, I can do it myself."

As she said that, she climbed onto the carriage, forgot to get up because she was nervous, and then climbed all the way back into the carriage...

In the carriage, the little girl who was sitting next to the little one was eating braised beef with relish, looked up at her, and said milkyly, "Auntie, is your leg hurt? Why did you crawl in?"

"..."

Fang Yao's eyelids twitched, and she got up silently.

The men who just drank hot shochu and ate stewed beef felt warm all over their bodies.

They whipped their whips, shouted and continued on their way.

Fan Chen also sat silently in the place where the carriage was driven, and softly called "Drive", and the carriage drove carefully onto the official road.

He squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and said, "It's still more than ten miles away from Changxi City, we can get there before dark."

"it is good."

Fang Yao turned around carefully, since the weather was getting colder, her body was getting thicker and thicker, and it was a bit inconvenient for her to move around in the carriage.

Still thinking about the snow monster, she put on the mask, opened the door panel a little, and opened the curtain to look north.

The miasma is indeed still there, and it has become very dense, but...

"Is that Cangling Temple far from Changxi City?" She frowned.

Fan Chen raised his hand and pointed, "It's not far, it's just five or six miles to the east of Changxi City."

Fang Yao let out a "hmm" and looked in the direction his arm was pointing at. The whole Changxi and Cangling Temple happened to be outside the miasma...

In the carriage, Mrs. Jiang hugged her little sister and fed her a bit of braised beef. Hearing the words, she said softly: "These noble daughters usually don't go to temples that are too far away to pray. Cangling Temple is quite famous in Changxi, and the local Young girls will go there to seek marriage.”

Fang Yao quickly moved her buttocks, and then squeezed closer to Jiang Shi, "Sister, you are a local, have you heard of any snow monsters before?"

While talking, she looked at the blood in Jiang's eyes, it was much lighter than before, and she was a little relieved.

Jiang shook her head: "I've never heard of rumors about snow monsters."

She said, with a worried look on her face, "Could it be that some monster appeared in Changxi, and I don't know what happened to the family."

Fang Yao's heart tightened slightly, and when she arrived in Changxi City...she might not be anyone's second sister anymore.

"Sister, the family is definitely fine. Those people just said that except for the county lord who has seen the snow monster, no one else has ever seen it."

"Um……"

Jiang Shi pursed her lips and smiled, and stopped talking.

In the carriage, except for the two young dolls, all the adults have different thoughts.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and there are still cars and horses passing by on the official road from time to time.

Although Fang Yao and the others have Fan Chen in their team, they are still hiding their identity for the time being.

Therefore, whenever imperial chariots and postmen pass by, they can only give way in advance.

After walking ten miles for nearly two hours, he finally arrived outside Changxi City.

Fang Yao pushed open the door of the carriage, and the county seat in the center of Gyeonggi was more like the preserved ancient city seen in history books.

Both the city walls and towers are made of large bluestone bricks.

The city is four feet high, and when you look up, you can see the beacon towers and watchtowers on the city wall. The flags with the numbers of the defenders in the city are inserted on them, whistling with the wind.

Most of the snow at the gates of the city has been cleared away, and outside the gates are everywhere peddlers carrying cattle to drive, shouting one after another.

It was probably getting late, and no matter whether they were entering the city or leaving the city, they all rushed to their destinations before the city gate was closed.

On the official road, there was an endless stream of pedestrians and carriages.

"It's so lively..."

Along the way, Fang Yao couldn't help but feel a little depressed because she was about to be found out about her true identity.

Fan Chen turned his face and said with a smile: "The capital city is more lively, after I find out what's going on here as soon as possible, I can go back and take a stroll around earlier."

"Ok!"

Fang Yao was already looking forward to it, and she vaguely regained the excitement that she only had when traveling in the past.

Looking at the strange and prosperous customs, this feeling is really wonderful.

The Jiang family next to her was also looking out with her child in her arms, with a timid and nervous expression on her face.

She seemed to be afraid of being recognized by others, so she was covered with a veil in the carriage, but she stared at every passing pedestrian outside without blinking.

Suddenly, Fang Yao noticed that Jiang's gaze had been fixed on a peddler who was cleaning up the stall at the gate of the city, and her heart moved, and she asked in a low voice: "Sister? Do you know him?"

Jiang quickly looked back and shook her head: "No, I don't know."

Fang Yao felt a little strange in her heart, thought of something, and asked again: "Sister, where is our home, later... Shall we go back first?"

"At that time, I'll just go back by myself. You and Lord Fan are busy with business first."

As Jiang said, she took out two bundles, one big and one small, from under the bed board, obviously they had packed them earlier.

Although Fang Yao was puzzled that Mrs. Jiang didn't need to go back with her, she was slightly relieved in her mixed feelings.

That's good, it saves her the embarrassment of being recognized face to face.

Just, maybe this other...

Fang Yao didn't want to think about it anymore, she took out a bank note, and put it in the inner breast pocket of the child's clothes while holding Dabao to see the scenery outside.

She was still not at ease, and asked Jiang Shi in a low voice: "Sister, where exactly do we live?"

Jiang turned to look at her with a complicated expression, and it took a while to tell her an address.

"The innermost alley of Xinghua Street in the west of the city, yes, sister, I will remember."

Jiang Shi smiled softly: "Well, when you enter the city later, you don't want to see me off, I will take Dabao and the others to walk back."

Fang Yao paused, nodded and said, "Okay."

Not far away, the guard at the gate of the city was already waving at the convoy, "Hurry up, hurry up, the city gate will be closed immediately!"

Fan Chen drove the carriage towards the city gate.

Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes came from the official road behind him.

"Deputy Jinyi Weiwei returns to the city, give way quickly!"

"Hurry up! Don't get in the way!"

Li Fugui and the others hurriedly dodged aside, but the opponent was extremely fast, and they arrived in front of them in a short while.

Fan Chen, who was at the front, even drove the carriage into the city gate at a leisurely pace.

The leading rider tightened the reins, barely stopped, and immediately shouted at Fang Yao and his team: "Who is in the car?"

Before Fang Yao and the others could reply, a slightly hoarse male voice came from the carriage following behind.

"Pan Da, forget it, let them advance."

"Jiang Fuwei, the Duke has something urgent waiting for you, just in case..."

"Short to avoid strong, light to avoid heavy, it doesn't matter if we wait."

"Yes."

After all the chariots and horses entered the city, the city gate finally closed slowly.

The hurried sound of horseshoes sounded again, and Fan Chen raised his eyebrows slightly as he watched the backs of those chariots and horses leaving.

Fang Yao was a little curious, lowered her voice and asked, "Do you know them?"

Fan Chen also whispered: "I don't know each other now, but I will soon."
