Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Following Wang Mazi's shout, the carriage began to run.

This time the speed was not as good as in the city, it was obviously much faster.

Although there were bumps, it was going very steadily.

Just as Gu Wenxuan said.

Wang Mazi is not only skilled in driving, he is also not impulsive or competitive.

He followed closely behind the escort carriages and hurried on.

Further back, you can see several carriages of the Zhao family with triangular dart flags.

You can't see the end from behind, so the location was chosen quite well.

The carriage is not very spacious, but it is still spacious for only two people.

Sitting on the thick mattress, Gu Wenxuan talked softly next to Zhou Banxia.

The conversation wasn't about any confidential topic, it was just about getting the exact itinerary from Yun Chengming while waiting.

During the day today, in addition to stopping to replenish fodder for the horses, mules and donkeys, the convoy also had to enter the Linxian city gate before the dusk drum was sounded at [-] or [-] o'clock.

For one thing, some people or goods in the convoy do not go to Fucheng, but arrive directly at Linxian. Delivering them before closing the city gate can avoid unnecessary trouble.

Furthermore, we have decided to stay for two nights in Linxian County, and we will also leave early for Fucheng on the third day.

You can stay at the big car shop next to the escort agency tonight and tomorrow night.

You can also stay at an inn or a relative's house. As long as you meet on time the day after tomorrow, you won't have to wait until late.

This is why he chose Wang Mazi's carriage from the beginning.

If you want to switch to a carriage shared by the escort agency, the cost will be less, but your movement will definitely be restricted.

In his memory, every time he went to and from Fucheng, he would be watched by the escort leader.

What's more, the leader of the escort this time is Yun Mingcheng, and he must be worried about the safety of him and his wife.

"...So -" Gu Wenxuan pointed in the direction of Wang Mazi who was driving outside the carriage, "Brother Yun feels at ease with him here."

It's hard to refuse hospitality, this is it.

Zhou Banxia understood what he meant.

If possible, I really don't want to cause trouble to anyone, but it's a pity that there is only one escort agency in the county.

As for how to act according to the opportunity in Lailin County, the two had discussed it privately last night.

At this time, there was no need to discuss it anymore, and it was a tacit agreement not to mention the purchase of grain.

Then consider the road conditions of this era.

The official road close to the city is better, spacious and flat enough, but it is not good when it is far away, and the road surface has many potholes.

No matter how good your driving skills are, the restricted road conditions will definitely make things bumpier, so the couple will quickly catch up on their sleep.

During this sleep, I felt vaguely like the carriage had stopped.

Zhou Banxia was still a little confused when Gu Wenxuan woke him up. What do you mean there is a tea house in front of him?
It is inconvenient for women to go out.

Like going to the toilet.

Lift the curtain.

It was gloomy.

I just didn't know what time it was, so I secretly took out the electronic alarm clock and took a look.

She actually slept until after two o'clock in the afternoon, almost three o'clock.

When I got out of the carriage, I saw that there was indeed a teahouse in front of me. There were about three or five women walking shyly in one direction. Zhou Banxia hurriedly followed.

At this time, she realized that there were only two female relatives in the entire convoy, and there were more than a dozen women among them, so they went directly to Linxian.

The team was not given much time to repair, and there were so many people that the tea house was overwhelmed and only had time to serve biscuits, porridge, and hot soup.

Of course, even if it is so busy, there are very few people ordering food and eating and drinking.

Outside of going out, if you can avoid eating half of the food, you generally don't use it when eating in the tea house.For example, the head of the escort agency, the martial arts master, and the porters basically all bring their own dry food, even non-essential fodder.

Unless the journey is far and dry food is not enough, for the sake of safety, meals will be divided into two groups.

On this point, not only Gu Yangqing and his wife, but also Gu Erzhu warned them before they went out.

Even though the world is stable now, it's time for an escort to travel.

Even if you can suppress the roosters and dog robbers, you still have to beware of those who are motivated by profit and do evil.

Zhou Banxia came out cleansing his hands and returned to the carriage, where he saw that Gu Wenxuan had already heated up the sesame cakes and braised pork he had brought with him on the red clay stove inside the carriage.

The three of them had just finished eating, along with Wang Mazi's share.

After drinking a few sips of boiling water from the pot, the team set off immediately as expected.

"It's coming soon, it won't take an hour."

This time, there was no need to ask Wang Mazi, Gu Wenxuan could figure out the distance to Linxian from his memory.

After a good sleep, the two of us were full of energy. We secretly took a sip of tea while you and I took a sip of tea, and the topic turned to horses.

No matter what era, men’s love for cars remains unchanged.

When it comes to horses, Gu Wenxuan gets excited.

I heard Lao Wang mention before that a horse costs at least 20 taels of silver.

A dark horse like him cost 26 taels of silver when he bought it a few years ago.

This is quite understandable.

Just like modern cars, one hundred thousand is a car, one million, or even tens of millions are also cars.

Lao Wang's dark horse is pretty good. Even if it costs almost 40 taels of silver to match the carriage and so on, it's not expensive. Just go out and turn around and bring home a carriage?
Certainly not.

Too ostentatious.

Just considering that I want to go shopping privately when I am away from home, it is not suitable to rent a carriage from anyone, and it is even less conducive to cover up without self-driving transportation.

Suddenly, Zhou Banxia, ​​who almost made a joke before about not being able to tell the difference between a horse and a mule, said it was not appropriate for cattle to be registered at the Yamen again, "How about buying a mule or a donkey first?"

"Where are you hiding?"

Gu Wenxuan imitated her and chuckled softly in her ear.

"I don't want the living room to be filled with donkey manure. It's a pity that the door can't be opened, otherwise not only the backyard, but also the front yard -"

"and many more."

Zhou Banxia was so shocked by the scene that suddenly appeared in her mind that she closed her eyes again, opened them again and blinked.

Gu Wenxuan's heart moved, "What did you see?"

"..." Zhou Banxia didn't know how to answer for a moment. He subconsciously looked at the car curtain, retracted his head, and pulled down Gu Wenxuan's earlobe.

“Don’t be nervous, keep your voice down, you won’t hear it from outside, but you must not go in suddenly.

I was careless. I had a chance to test it yesterday afternoon. "

Test what?
Naturally, when you enter the villa from a running carriage, and when you come out again, the place where you step is still the same, rather than the carriage running away and the person still in the same place.

Zhou Banxia himself had also neglected this point. Otherwise, he would have been able to get the test result by borrowing an ox cart before yesterday. It can only be said that it was not considered carefully.

But, that’s not the problem now, okay?

Zhou Banxia, ​​whose train of thought was almost diverted again, frowned and closed his eyes, "That's strange. I'm 100% sure that I didn't see our front yard last night."

"forecourt?"

"Don't interrupt, let me think about it first. You went in for a while last night, and I went in too, but I definitely didn't touch the door. What about you?"

"You want to ask me if I touched the door?"

Gu Wenxuan realized that he was almost unable to keep up with his wife's imagination again, "Yes, but I still haven't opened it-"

"What were you thinking at that time?" (End of chapter)
