The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 307: The road ahead is long, let’s go now
When Jingli and Wanbaoquan went back, they stopped by Mayi and gave Jing Dafu a brief introduction.

"I won't be back for a few months after I go out this time. Uncle Dafu, you have to be more careful. The county guard team cannot stop training for a day."

"Until King Changling comes back, you have to keep training!"

In the days since Jing Dafu took over the county seat, with Huan Yuan's help, everything is on the right track, and he is getting along well with the local wealthy squires.

Huan Yuan said from the side: "Girl, who are you going to take with you when you go out this time?"

"I want to take away Brother Shen's brothers!" Jing Li looked at Huan Yuan and said with determination in his eyes.

Huan Yuan, who had always been calm, suddenly felt nervous. He would understand if the girl brought one or two people with her, but if she brought all the Shen brothers with her, it was obvious that something was unusual this time.

"Sir, you don't have to go back to the village. You can take charge of the overall situation in the county with Uncle Dafu. If things go wrong, you will have to take charge of Chang'an City!"

If she left, Yang Shiyue calculated the time of Tantai Lin's death and sent troops to Chang'an. Based on the people in the court, she was really not optimistic at all.

Huan Yuan bowed and said: "Girl, just go and I will take care of everything!"

Jing Li nodded with relief: "Brother Quanzi, close all the business outside and tell the bosses!"

Wan Baoquan responded: "Don't worry, after you leave, I will temporarily stop all the business outside!"

It's no longer enough to stop. Since the White Lotus Army captured Yecheng, the situation outside has become more and more turbulent, and many restaurants have been unable to continue their business.

Jingli returned to the village and briefly talked to her family about going on a long trip.

Su Shi immediately became anxious: "Why do we have to go out now? There is a chaos of war outside, and the White Lotus Army is not stopping all day long. What can we do if something happens later?"

Jing Li comforted her and said, "It's because the current situation is bad that I have to go out on this trip. If this trip goes well, we can settle down in the future."

Mrs. Su wanted to say, there are so many big men in the family, why does it have to be a girl like you to do this? But if it weren't for her girl, would she be able to do this?
"Then you have to be careful outside. It is said that Dr. Xiao He has recently developed some poison powder. Please bring more with you!"

Mrs. Su talked a lot, and Mrs. Ge waited for a few old ladies to come over again and packed all kinds of food for the road.

Jing Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm going out to do errands, not to play. Why do I have to eat so much!"

Mrs. Ge packed her luggage and said, "I'll take it all with me on the road. People outside are unreliable. Who knows what kind of people you may meet!"

After arranging everything at home, Jing Li set out early the next morning with Shen Zhiming and a group of 15 people.

After arriving outside Chang'an City and meeting up with the people brought by General Geng, Jing Li told Shen Zhiming: "You take another road and go down Danshui. We will meet in Linxiang!"

Shen Zhiming was a little worried: "Is it okay for you to go on the road alone? It's very dangerous outside!"

Jing Li smiled and said, "I have to do something. It's inconvenient to see so many people. Brother Shen, don't worry. I'm capable enough to protect myself no matter what!"

A few days later, in Liangdu, only a hundred miles away from Yecheng, a group of people were drinking tea in a tea shed.

"Damn it! Isn't it the beginning of autumn? Why is it still so hot!" A man opened his clothes and shook his fan.

The remaining three people at the same table with him were also very tired. One of them, a short fat man, took a sip of herbal tea and said, "Do you think it's okay for the boss? We're all going to Yecheng soon, and we're going to rush all the way with these medicinal materials. What a waste of time!" Even a mule can’t stand it day and night, let alone a human being!”

"That's right, he arrived at Wenrou Village early, and he ate well and slept well. It's a pity for us who had to sleep in the open all the way, and our skin was almost tanned off." Another man was also a little angry.A dark-faced man in the middle said solemnly: "Why do you talk so much? There are wars and chaos everywhere these days. Delivering things safely is what counts!"

Several people seemed a little afraid of this dark-faced man, and after muttering a few words, they didn't dare to say anything else.

Under the thatched pavilion outside the tea shed, several coachmen were sleeping staggeringly. Some of them had even begun to snore, which showed that they were really exhausted.

A few people rested for a while, and the dark-faced man looked up at the sky: "Let's go, rush to Huangni Town ahead when it gets dark, let's eat there, and try to get to Peishan tonight."

The remaining people got up helplessly, left the tea shed and went straight to the thatched pavilion, kicking the coachmen awake one by one: "Get up, get up, get up and set off!"

The coachmen reluctantly got up, harnessed the mule carts, and a group of seven mule carts set off slowly.

The waiter at the tea shed said while wiping the table: "I don't know what it is pulling, but it looks like the wheels of the cart have sunk in."

The shopkeeper came out and yelled: "Hurry up and work, whatever you want to do, it has nothing to do with us!"

After the convoy had finished a cup of tea, the young man in the corner of the tea shed got up and left, untied the maroon horse outside, and disappeared in an instant as soon as the whip was whipped.

The waiter couldn't help but gossip again: "Hey, look, this young man is not big, but his horse is very fast. He is heading in the same direction as that group of people. Maybe that group of people haven't reached Huangni Town yet. This guy The young master has already rested!"

The sun slowly set in the west, and Huangni Town was soon shrouded in darkness.

The master chef who was in charge of the ladle heard that someone was looking for him outside. When he went out, it turned out that the person asking for directions had an unclear accent and the waiter had made a mistake.

Huangni Town is located in a remote location, and few people come here to rest. Today, there happened to be a few guests, and the shopkeeper suddenly smiled like a flower, wishing he could cut off all his flesh to entertain the guests.

Unexpectedly, the master's delay caused the group of unruly customers outside to slap the table and throw the stools, and were scolded by the shopkeeper.

The master chef suffered an unexpected confession, which made him feel bad all the time. He was also scolded by the shopkeeper. Not to mention how angry he was, he returned to the kitchen with a big spoon and cursed.

As soon as I walked not far from the kitchen, I saw a young man coming out of the kitchen. He immediately became angry: "Boy, why are you wandering around? Is this a place you can come to?"

The handsome-looking young man held the corner of his clothes and said with a simple and honest face: "Uncle, I don't have any money. Can you help you with something? I'll give you something to eat later."

When the young man saw the master looking at him with disgust, he added: "Just a bite of leftover rice. I used to be an apprentice in a big restaurant, and I know how to order some stir-fried vegetables and noodles!"

The master was about to curse, but when he heard that this young man knew everything, his eyes suddenly lit up.

People outside have begun to rush for the food to be served. The young man's hands and feet are very nimble. Whatever the master wants, he hands it over with a wink.

The food was served quickly, and the group of people rushed to eat quickly. After a quick meal, they left in a hurry.

After the master finished cleaning up, he was about to ask the young man to have dinner with him, only to find that the young man had left at some point.

At the third watch, we were only fifty miles away from Yecheng. The group was exhausted and couldn't stand it any longer. They leaned against the Tutu Temple not far from the official road and fell asleep one by one. Soon there was a sound of snoring.

A light black shadow like a ghost walked in.
