Chapter 713 Safe Travels (Part [-])
It has been rainy day after day, the water on the mountain rushes down, the river is full of accumulations, and the muddy yellow mud floats.

On the day when it finally cleared up, the village organized people to dredge the silt. Under the sun, the river was shining brightly, which made the eyes hurt.

As long as there are people, there will be topics to talk about. After work, the most discussed project is the recent project on the back mountain.

The people who were chosen to leave their mouths were not firm. Not only were they not firm, they also liked to exaggerate. With a sense of pride in front of others, they triumphantly described how magical the mountain is.

While chatting, one of them suddenly elbowed his companion: "Look!"

When everyone turned their heads, the girl Ah Li and Mr. Zhan Jiu were walking side by side on the village road.

Behind her was a horse that had been dismantled from the carriage in which she had come.

"Miss Ali can also ride a horse." Someone whispered.

"Miss Ali can do everything, riding a horse is nothing."

In the past few days, Zhan Jiuye treated this girl with respect and courtesy, which was heard in the village.

Fifth Master Mo said outside that Lord Zhan Jiu had been bewitched by a demon, and it was spread to the ears of Seventh Master Zhan and Bader Zhan, who almost took back Fifth Master Mo's position as "general".

Looking at it right now, where is respect and courtesy, it is simply too respectful.

Behind them, Zhi Changle also led a horse.

There were only five horses in Qingxiang Village, and Mr. Zhan Jiu had someone lead them out to be ridden by the head of the branch, Mr. Zhan Qi, who felt sorry for this all night.

"Where are they going?" Someone suddenly caught the key.

"That's right! Miss Ali looks like this, is she going to leave?"

"Stupid, let's ride a carriage!" A girl's voice suddenly said.

Everyone turned their heads, Lin Shuanglan and Feng Anan came back from the east of the village carrying a basket, and said to them.

Lin Shuanglan was very popular, and everyone greeted her one after another.

Lin Shuanglan responded, walked quickly towards Xia Zhaoyi, and said happily, "Ali!"

"Ali, you can leave now!" Feng Anan also said.

Xia Zhaoyi had already mentioned to Lin Shuanglan and the others in advance that Xia Zhaoyi was going out to do errands, and also specially assigned homework.

"Well," Xia Zhaoyi nodded, "I'm not here these days, so don't miss your homework."

"We must practice calligraphy and study hard!"

"Okay." Xia Zhaoyi smiled.

"This hero Zhi is going too?" Lin Shuanglan looked at Zhi Changle.

The three characters of "Zhi Daxia" are thick and slightly teasing.

In these few days of contact, when Zhi Changle called him "Hero" to others, his reaction was different from other names. Lin Shuanglan discovered this and found it quite amusing, and occasionally called him too.

Zhi Changle was too lazy to argue with the little girl and ignored her.

Humph.

Lin Shuanglan pouted inwardly.

Zhan Jiuye looked back at Xia Zhaoyi and got down to business: "Miss Ali, can I really send these letters?"

"I can't guarantee it completely, I can only say that I will try my best." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Zhan Jiuye sighed softly: "Speaking of which, even if these letters can be sent out, my old friends may not be there, and I don't even know if they are still alive in this world."

"Uncle Jiu, don't be sad." Feng Anan said in a low voice.

"Miss Ali, go early and come back early, safe journey." Zhan Jiuye raised his hand and saluted Xia Zhaoyi.

"Okay." Xia Zhaoyi nodded.

"Ali, you must be careful on the road," Lin Shuanglan said seriously, looking at Zhi Changle, "Hero Zhi, you should also be careful."

Zhi Changle still didn't bother to talk to her, feeling that the little girl was really sick when she said "Hero Zhi".

Zhan Jiuye asked Xia Zhaoyi to take out a total of seven letters this time, all of which were addressed to his classmates.

In addition to the letter, Zhan Jiuye also ordered the servants and maids to prepare a lot of dry food.

There was a small basket behind Xia Zhaoyi's mount, in which were filled dry food and clothes.

Xia Zhaoyi got on his horse, said goodbye to them, and left with Branch Chief Le.

The corpses hanging outside the village a few days ago had already been taken down, but Zhi Changle and Xia Zhaoyi still described the scene when they passed by.

The farther you go outside the village, the more messy you will see on the road. After a mile or so, you will gradually see scattered refugees coming towards you or sitting by the roadside.

There are also corpses that died of illness or starvation, which were highly decomposed in the wilderness due to the heavy rain for several days.

Due to the muddy road, Xia Zhaoyi and Zhi Changle returned to the post station where they came, and it was almost dusk.

The sky was sinking, and the station entrance was still overcrowded. Compared with the last time, there were many more officers and soldiers this time.

Xia Zhaoyi and Zhi Changle rode on horses, attracting more and more eyes, even though the officers and soldiers were nearby, many people still stared at them.

Xia Zhaoyi and Zhi Changle didn't stay any longer, they walked through several inns and headed towards the heavily guarded post office.

The Yicheng from the Xinyi Office has long since passed away, and the military department that controls the place has taken over. Now it is Tian Dayao's people.

Xia Zhaoyi and Zhi Changle took a rest under the open-air tea shed half a mile away from the post office. There were not as many people here as in the inn in front, and it was reserved for military men who came and went.

When they passed by, half of the inn was resting officers and soldiers, only two or three passers-by.

The clerk came out to meet the guests, but Zhi Changle didn't move the horse, he just asked the clerk to move a long bench.

The two horses were strong and strong, and Xia Zhaoyi and Zhi Changle's conversation was even more eye-catching. The officers and soldiers over there looked over frequently, and their eyes were especially on the girl.

The clerk brought the long bench, and at the same time called his companion to bring an Eight Immortals table, and asked Xia Zhaoyi to wait while he went in to make tea.

"It's been a long time since I haven't seen such a delicate skin and tender meat, and I dare to come here," the man shook his head in the backyard, and said to his companion, "She really hates her life."

"Looking at her temperament, she looks like she came from a wealthy family. She is really pretty."

"So what, we've traveled around the state these years, have there been fewer rich and noble families who have fallen?"

"This lady is really ignorant, not to mention the present, even in the peaceful days before, such a flowery girl walking on the country road is easy to be robbed!"

"That's right, not to mention that the military masters here haven't had sex for a long time, tsk tsk, showing them such a superb beauty, it's better to be like a wolf than a tiger."

"Don't say a few words," the shopkeeper came hurriedly, and reprimanded in a low voice, "Is it an ordinary family who can come here, maybe it is the daughter of a general under King Dacheng's command or a newly married lady!"

This explanation seemed to make sense, several guys nodded in succession.

The tea was brewed and delivered, and some side dishes were added.

Xia Zhaoyi took out the silver needle and a pack of small medicinal powder, tried the silver needle one by one, then sprinkled the small medicinal powder on it, waited for a while, and said to Zhi Changle: "You can eat it."

The guy beside him changed his face, and said unhappily, "You two guests, how could we poison you!"

"It is imperative to be defensive." Xia Zhaoyi said frankly, without feeling a bit guilty.

The man put the rag on his shoulder, turned and left.

The nearby soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, and then looked back at the girl.

Too calm and calm, the soldiers who have been here for a long time do not dare to mess around.

　Thank you Hua Lizi for your reward~~!
