Heartless Prince's Palm

Chapter 51

Only then did the onlookers know that the owner of the donkey cart had arrived, and someone who had something to do came running over.

"Your donkey must have become a spirit. No one is allowed to come near it. We want to take it to the government. It is fiercer than a horse."

"Hehe, it has a big temper. I'm sorry to see a stranger kicking its child."

What else can Ye Ying say?Wanting to steal his donkey is a dream!

Ye Xing touched Dahei's head, it must have been frightened, and kept rubbing against her body, eyes were foggy, so he quietly held the Lingquan as a reward.

I went to the carriage and saw that there was a lot of baggage, no wonder people said it became a fine.

Xiaoqing took the whip and sat side by side with Ye Ying on the shaft of the car.

In one day, the bandits who had been entrenched for dozens of years were eradicated. This matter became a major unsolved case in the local area, because from this day on, there were no more bandits. They couldn't find it either, and the group disappeared out of thin air.

"Can I go to Tubaozi City tonight?"

Dahei ran very fast, the road ahead became more and more bumpy, and there were two more people in the car, Ye Xing felt sorry for him, so he stopped twice on the road.

"I'm sure we'll be there, the old man said just now, there's still half a day's journey to go, it's not past noon yet,"

Xiaoqing has changed her identity, she finds it fresh everywhere, and likes to argue with others the most.

An hour later, Ye Xing felt something was wrong. Why are there more and more people on the road, and they all go out? What happened ahead?

But people were in a hurry, so it was hard to stop and ask. With doubts, they finally saw the gate of Tubaozi.

"It's a border town after all, the soldiers standing outside, the guns are shiny!"

Ye Ying sighed, he also had a dream of joining the army when he was a child, because his father has never heard from him, so the quota has been occupied all the time, so the three brothers stayed at home.

But Ye Xing felt the tense atmosphere, it seemed that the gate of the castle could only go in and out.

"There has been a war at the border. Since yesterday, people are not allowed to enter again, for fear of getting in with spies."

After inquiring, I realized that there was a big event, and it was not the right time for this journey.

Tubaozi City is the last checkpoint on the border. If you can't enter the city, you can't go any further, because there are mountains on both sides, and there is no way to go.

"Find a flat place, let's park the car first, and then go to investigate later."

It was impossible to leave, and after traveling for a few days, it was finally here. Besides, she also wanted to know what the country in the north was like?Are they really herders?

There is a grove next to it. As soon as I drove the car over, a few soldiers came over.

"You can't stay here, you go quickly."

"Master Jun, we are here to find relatives. My father came to serve as a soldier. There has been no news for more than ten years. This is our certificate, and the reason is written on it."

Ye Ying passed the road guide, but the soldier didn't even look at it.
"Go back, if you haven't heard from me for more than ten years, you must be dead! The city has been put on guard, and only our commander and the police officer can enter,"

It seems that I really can't get in, I am hesitating, and a boy runs by,
"Go to our village, my family has a place, and it only costs five yuan for one night."

The child looked at them eagerly, it was getting late, even if they went back, they would have to wait until tomorrow, so they let the child get into the car immediately, planning to go to his house for the night.

The village is not far from the castle. When you enter the village entrance, there are more than [-] scattered houses. The boy’s house is at the entrance of the village. The houses are small and the yard is not big.
"Grandpa, grandpa, here are the guests." He jumped down and quickly pushed open the fence gate so that the car could drive in.

"Ahem, ahem, here we come," an old man coughed and came out from the farthest door, rubbing his hands a little at a loss,
"Guest officer, I have two rooms in my house. Take a look, they are clean." The boy trotted and opened the two doors next to him, anxious to prove that he was right.

"Okay, let's unload the car by ourselves, tell this sister, where is the kitchen?"

It is obviously impossible to expect them to cook. As long as there is a hot stove, they can be self-reliant.

They led Xueniang into the room just now, it turned out that the inside was the stove, and there was a small door beside the stove, probably it was the residence of the father and husband.

Snowflakes had already fallen outside, but the house was warmer after all, the firewood was lit, Xue Niang quickly added water to the pot, and the rice she brought only needed to be heated up.

"Old man, there are only two grandparents in your family? Where are his parents?"

There are only three rooms in the courtyard, and those two rooms don't seem to be occupied by people. There are no bedding on the kang, fortunately they all have luggage.

"Well, his father has been away for more than ten years and died on the battlefield. His mother was also sick and left our grandparents behind. If the child is not smart and asks for some money from outside from time to time, we will live soon. It’s over, last year’s crops were too dry and not enough to eat.”

Hearing the coughing, Ye Xing secretly put some spiritual spring into his cup,
After a while, the big steaming steamed buns came out of the pan, and Ye Ying asked the grandpa and grandson to eat them together. This was steamed by the women on the mountain, and it was really thin-skinned and stuffed.

"No, no, according to the rules, my family should provide food, how can I eat yours again?"

He was shivering, whether from cold or hunger,
"Old man, we brought a lot, and it will be ruined if we don't eat it. How about it, you are an old resident here, and I just want to inquire about something. Let's chat while eating, okay?"

Hearing this, the old man finally felt relieved, took the big bag, turned around and gave it to his grandson,
"I met a living Bodhisattva today. Let's eat it. My grandson is pitiful. I haven't seen meat for two years."

The child took the bun and didn't eat it. Instead, he took a bite carefully when he saw that his grandfather had it again, and squinted his eyes sweetly.

"Why is there a fight on the border again? Didn't you say that there was a truce? No news has been heard in the interior."

"Hey, how many times did the Kucha Kingdom fight that year? We are all used to it, but this time is different. I heard that their high priests have come,"

It turns out that the country in the north is not called Beimo. Kucha sounds like the name of the Western Regions.
"Are they nomadic?"

Most of the nomads are aggressive, because they have galloped on the grassland for a long time, have strong soldiers and horses, and superior military force.

"The people near us are almost all herdsmen. I heard that the inland area is also dominated by farming. It is said that the country is bigger than our Xuanji."

"But it's not the harvest season now, and you can't get anything if you fight here. Why do you declare war with great fanfare?"

Tubaozicheng was nervous, which meant that it was not an ordinary friction, but the old man didn't know about this issue, so he could only shake his head blankly.

"I heard that you came to look for someone. When did you come?"

"Sixteen years ago, when a great war broke out on the border, Tubaozi fell. The first emperor ordered conscription, and my father should be recruited into the army."
