Chapter 379
The two rode out of the city in a low-key manner, took shortcuts all the way, and walked almost all small roads. When they were tired, they found a place near the water source to rest for a night, eat something, and then continued on the road. Arrived in the northwest frontier town close to the original Eastern Mongolia.

"Jiu'er, let's find an inn to wash up before entering the customs."

The two did not enter the city at this time, but stopped not far from the city gate, eating dry food, carefully observing the people entering the city, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, Su Rongan said.

Along the way, the two of them hardly contacted any hidden stakes, because they were afraid of revealing their whereabouts. If there was any omission in the middle, then the news of their going to the northwest would leak out, so the two decided not to contact any hidden stakes at all after discussing. Anyway, Su Xuanyan will deal with them behind them, and he will naturally deal with them carefully after he knows that they have not been in contact.

"it is good."

Su Jiu nodded. It was okay when I was on the road a few days ago, and I could almost find a place with a water source to deal with it. But the further north I went, although it was summer, the vegetation was getting less and less, and the water source was getting less and less. I found it, but the water was also very turbid. After a few days, the two of them were unkempt, almost no different from beggars on the street.

It got to the point where even Su Jiu hated herself.

Su Jiu glanced at the city gate not far away. This is a small border town between the original Beiyan and Dongmeng. If you want to enter the boundary of Dongmeng, you must first enter the city and get the official document from the city before you can enter Dongmeng. Meng, but since Su Lixun unified the four countries, there has been no such regulation.

However, most well-behaved people pass through the city.

When entering the north, you must be cautious in everything. The two decided to abandon their horses before entering this small town and hire another ox cart in the city.

The journey is slow, but it will not attract too much attention. It is not too different from the plan in the calculation.

Originally, Su Jiu wanted to change the appearance of the two of them, but now seeing Su Rongan's distressed appearance, she felt that it was unnecessary. Of course, no need to look, she herself should not be much better.

The horses that Su Lixun prepared for the two of them were all spiritual, and they would find their way home by themselves, and even if they couldn't find it, they could find a nearby habitat and wait for the owner to arrive.

Soon, the two entered the city.

Thanks to the embarrassing appearance of the two, the gatekeeper couldn't help covering their noses when they saw them, showing disgust, and let them in without checking them carefully.

The small town is called "Huangtu City". As the name suggests, almost all the buildings are made of loess, the city walls are made of loess, and the houses of the common people are also made of loess. The border gate is often windy, so that everyone looks yellow. Yes, there is an earthy smell in the air.

However, because it has always been the diplomatic city of the two countries, although it is small, as long as you can imagine inns, restaurants, fireworks places, etc., there are all kinds of pedestrians in this city, and their costumes are very different. Su Jiu even saw it Blue-eyed people from the Western Regions, street vendors have a wide variety of tricks on their stalls, some of which are gadgets that have never been seen in the capital.

In the words of the previous life, the foreign trade economy is very developed. Unlike the bleak outside the loess city wall, the inside is still very lively and full of people.

The two found an inn to rectify and rest.

After entering the Northwest, water resources are very precious. Unlike Jiangnan Inn, the water is free. Bathing and drinking tea here have to be paid separately, and the price is not cheap.

It's just that the two of them have been exhausted for such a long time, so naturally they don't care about this, Su Jiu also washed up well, imitating the person she saw on the street just now, she found a piece of khaki-colored cloth to wrap her hair, and then drank homemade With the medicine, the skin of the whole person suddenly changed from shiny and jade-like to sallow and sallow.

Su Rongan is a man, and his washing movements are much faster than Su Jiu's. He drank two pots of tea, and then saw a strange woman wearing Jiu'er's clothes sitting across from him with a smile. The woman's smiling and sly almond eyes always feel extremely familiar.

He blurted out: "Jiu'er?"

"alright!"

Su Jiu only felt that after taking a bath, she immediately became much lighter, and even her whole person felt much better.

"Have you ordered food? I'm starving to death!"

In order to hurry these days, the two of them are almost eating dry food, which is the kind of hard naan.

Su Jiu had never been so embarrassed since she went down the mountain, but thinking of the unknown situation with the fourth sister, she resisted forcefully, even Su Rongan felt admiration for her.

"I ordered it, it should be here soon."

Su Rongan was coaxing, with a bit of doting and distress in her tone.

Thinking of the past few days, Jiu'er ate the dry food without changing his face, without the slightest complaint or disgust, and unconsciously filled his mind with Su Jiu's hard life in the mountains these years, how much hardship Jiu'er has endured these years ? !
Su Jiu just felt that the way Su Rongan looked at him seemed a little strange. Just as he was about to ask, Xiaoer brought up the food. There were a lot of cattle and sheep in the Northwest, and the meat was extremely delicious. There is a faint grass fragrance, and it tastes full and juicy.

Of course, these Su Jius were all told by her master, and she had never eaten them.

It's summer now, and mutton is too nourishing, so Su Rongan only ordered some stewed beef and stir-fried yellow beef, plus a plate of green vegetables, it was just right for two people.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the amount of meat is very satisfying.

Su Jiu was immediately distracted by the dishes, and there was no time to pursue Su Rongan's eyes, so she picked up the chopsticks and started eating immediately.

These days really spoiled her.

Su Rongan washed off her messy body. Although she was wearing coarse clothes and linen, her outstanding appearance still attracted a lot of attention. When Su Jiu was devouring food, she felt hostility from all directions. From the perspective of others, the two had a similar relationship Talking and laughing, behaving intimately, it should be a husband and wife, but this is also the most irritating part, this man looks like a scholar with a jade face, why does he have bad eyes, so he found such an ugly woman?
This is like a flower stuck in cow dung!

Su Jiu was a martial arts practitioner, and she was extremely keen on her surroundings, but she didn't care too much, but after eating, she looked at Su Rongan thoughtfully.

Su Rongan was horrified by Su Jiu's stare. Although the two of them shared joys and sorrows these days, Jiu'er was too independent, so that Su Rongan didn't have much time to talk to Su Jiu. In Su Rongan's heart, the relationship between the two It's only a little bit better than it was ten years ago.

He didn't even see Jiu'er calling him Sixth Brother alone.

Blue thin, mushrooms.

"Jiu, Jiu'er... what's wrong?"

Su Rongan couldn't help asking.

"You look too ostentatious, come to my room later, I'll make a disguise for you."

People in Northwest China have been trapped by wind and sand all year round. Their skin color is yellowish and very rough. Almost all men and women wrap their hair with cloth to prevent sand from being blown into their hair. They need to be cleaned frequently. But as I said just now, this place is short of water resources. Everyday use is frugal and frugal, let alone used to wash hair frequently, which can be described as 'luxury'.

That's why Su Jiu saw many vendors wrapping their heads in gauze on the street just now, and some even simply covered their mouths and noses, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

Of course, it is too hot now, so few people do this. When it really comes to winter, I am afraid that the whole street will only see all kinds of hats and masks.

Su Jiu's makeup is based on the characteristics of Northwesterners, but Su Jiu added some freckles and moles, so it looks a little ugly, especially compared with Su Rongan's white and clear face, it is especially tragic.

Su Rongan obviously also noticed the gazes of the people around him, and then he realized that he was indeed too ostentatious, and at the same time, he secretly felt Su Jiu's intelligence and adaptability.

"it is good."

The meal ended with the two of them eating two full bowls of rice.

Although Su Rongan was raised in a palace since childhood, he was also served with good food and drink. Where did he suffer so much? The two gobbled it up like a disaster victim who had been starving for several days. The people around were stunned. People will become husband and wife. It turns out that the hobbies of cooking are very similar!After all, they are ignorant.

The two of them didn't know what other people were thinking about. After eating and drinking enough, they quickly went back to their rooms.

There are many people during the day, if someone sees Su Rongan entering Su Jiu's room with a clean face, and then coming out with a rough appearance, then he will be begging himself.

Therefore, the two discussed and decided to take a good rest first, and then change their costumes at night.

Naturally, this small border town does not have curfew rules like the capital city, so in the middle of the night, you can still hear the sound of small vendors hawking, especially food stalls.

Of course, a large number of people also means that it is not easy to manage. Killing and stealing, and robbery and robbery often happen. Generally, the real culprit cannot be found. If you encounter it, you can only admit that you are unlucky. Of course, this is only on the street. If someone The nature of the robbers who dare to break into the house is different. The punishment methods and systems are much stricter than ordinary ones, so the overall law and order is not bad.

After the two had finished their lunch, they slept for almost a day, and didn't wake up until midnight.

"Tomorrow I'll go find the bullock cart, Jiu'er, you can rest for a while, and I'll call you when I come back."

Su Rongan sat in front of the dressing table in the women's room of the inn, closed her eyes, and let Su Jiu play tricks on her face, and said softly.

"it is good."

There was silence in the room.

Su Rong'an is a chatterbox, and felt that the room suddenly became quiet, and he was very uncomfortable, and he insisted on picking up the topic that fell off, "Ji'er, what do you think happened to the Emperor of Dongmeng?"

"I don't know, but there are only a few types, usurping the throne, rebelling, and forcing the palace..." Su Jiu said in a calm and orderly tone, "Based on my impression of Brother Xuanyuan, although he has sat on the throne of Eastern Mongolia, he will definitely not Exterminate the original First Prince and Second Prince, and even the original Supreme Emperor may still be alive."

"But the battle for the throne is a life-and-death battle. Now that something happened in the palace, it may be related to the remaining party members."

Su Jiu expressed her guess.

Su Rongan listened, and nodded in agreement. There was almost no difference from Fifth Brother's analysis. Why couldn't he think of it?
"If you say that, wouldn't Fifth Brother be more merciful?"

After succeeding to the throne for so many years, except for Su Yunqing who was a little jealous, the rest of the people served them with good food and drink, and the fief officials were hardly treated harshly, even Su Yunqing only took the main military power.

Su Jiu was taken aback, as if she didn't expect to talk about Dongmeng, and then turned to Su Lixun.

"That's right, Fifth Brother is a man with a hard mouth and a soft heart."

Su Jiu felt that even though Fifth Brother allowed the other brothers to be jealous of her, in the final analysis, Fifth Brother himself was a kind-hearted person.

"Then do you think Su Jing... fourth sister is still alive?"

Su Rongan nodded approvingly, he had a deep understanding of Fifth Brother's tough mouth and soft heart.

Su Jiu is obviously used to his sixth elder brother's hammer and stick, and he continued very smoothly: "I must be alive. Now Dongmeng is no longer the country it used to be, but a vassal king. What does the fourth sister say?" She is also the sister of the fifth brother, if those people dare to touch the fourth sister, Dongmeng will definitely be held accountable, and it is uncertain whether the name of Dongmeng can be retained by then, so those people will never be so stupid."

But Su Jiu is a little strange. Dongmeng, Dongmeng, should be in the east, but why is it in the northwest? I don’t know how the emperor of Dongmeng got his name.

"All right."

Su Jiu stopped what she was doing.

Su Rongan opened his eyes.
