The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 424 Border Town Inn
Bai Zhi shook her head: "I think the magic soldiers did not appear, but a small group of Yan soldiers harassing the border people, otherwise the imperial court will definitely send large soldiers to rescue. The border is by no means the current situation, unless our Wu border army is wiped out, Then our journey is definitely not what it is now. It can be seen that everything is still too late, the two countries have not fought, but a small group of Yan soldiers have infiltrated."

This was agreed by Shen Changyan: "My lady is very right, and I think so too."

Linglong nodded unconsciously, gave a thumbs up and said in praise: "Madam is still thoughtful, I think too little."

"Madam, since there is a small group of Yan soldiers coming to the border to harass, and the W border army seems to be powerless, should we take care of it?"

The short man asked loudly from the side, with an angry look on his face.

Bai Zhi thought for a while and said: "We are probably under their observation along the way. Just move forward and they will naturally come to us."

These words made Linglong fall in admiration again, Madam's mind is definitely more masculine than a man's, if she is a man, she can be the prime minister of the country.

So the group continued to move forward, but the speed slowed down a lot, because the atmosphere was too weird, because there were no people in the villages along the way, and there was an atmosphere of depression and death everywhere, and it was cloudy and foggy for days, and visibility was very low.

They went forward about five or six miles, and came across a small town again.

But there are very few frontier residents in the small town, and many shops along the roadside are closed, only a few inns, restaurants, and department stores are still open.

It is also difficult to see pedestrians on the road, and occasionally someone walks by in a hurry.

"Ma'am, this should be a border town. It is still three miles away from the country of Yan. When the two countries opened up trade, it was very lively here. Many people from the country of Yan came to do business, and we border people will also go to the country of Yan to do business. Border town Many people intermarried with Yan State. It can be said that the vast majority of families in the border towns are families of mixed blood from Da Xia State and Yan State. Now that it is so depressed, I don’t know if those families with Yan people have gone to Yan State to avoid disaster. It’s a good result.”

The short man couldn't help but emotionally told Bai Zhi what he knew about the situation and his good expectations.

Bai Zhi and Shen Changyan led the crowd into an inn.

"Shopkeeper, do you have food? Bring us something to eat." Shen Changyan raised his voice and shouted.

In the empty inn, a young woman came out from the back kitchen. She looked at several people in amazement.

"What do you want to eat? Just order, I can do it. But at this time, it's really rare to see guests."

Hearing the surprise from the landlady, Bai Zhi curled her lips and said with a smile: "I'm also very surprised. At this time, such a young eldest sister like you still dares to show up and do business? Could it be that you have a backer?"

The proprietress laughed: "Girl is right, in this chaotic age, men are afraid to open the door to do business, but I am not afraid, anyway, a man died of tuberculosis a few years ago, and he has no children around him. Getting impatient..."

An embarrassing expression appeared on Bai Zhi's face, she did not expect that the proprietress would be in such a situation.

"I'm really sorry, I made a slip of the tongue..."

The proprietress waved her hand and said with a cheerful smile, "What are you sorry for, girl? Who doesn't have sad things? I'm not afraid of people mentioning it. The man left me without a child, so he left. It's really hard for me to guard this shop by myself, but I live comfortably. Some people advised me to find someone to live with. There is no need for that. The man is good to me. I have to be buried with him after I die. But you guys, where are you from? Now the border of Yan State is closed, except for the people of Yan State, it is impossible to get through, and moreover, Yan soldiers come to make trouble from time to time, and the nearby people flee or die."

As she spoke, she sighed heavily with a sad expression on her face.

Bai Zhi understands that the proprietress seems to have a carefree and forthright character, but she is a kind person in her heart.

"Miss Boss, the rest of us are planning to visit relatives in Yan Country."

"Ah, then I can't go. The seventh prince of Yan Kingdom died violently in the capital of Daxia Kingdom. The emperor of Yan Kingdom was furious and was about to send troops to attack Daxia Kingdom. If you go to Yan Kingdom, are you going to die?" The proprietress shook her head. .

Bai Zhi smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, since we dare to go, we have a way to save our lives."

The proprietress looked at them again suspiciously, and then continued to ask: "What do you eat, order, I will cook for you myself."

Bai Zhi looked at Shen Changyan: "Master, you tell me."

She changed her address, and imitated the locals to call her husband the head of the house.

Shen Changyan nodded slightly, thought for a while and said, "It's too troublesome to cook. Does the proprietress have any beef? Cut it into four catties. First come twenty steamed buns. Then just order whatever side dishes you want. Hurry up."

The proprietress heard this, nodded and smiled, and said, "Okay, this is easy, I just have freshly cooked beef. There are also freshly cooked meat buns and steamed buns for you. By the way, I also developed some sour radish and beans. Yes, how about serving it as a dish?"

Shen Changyan replied: "I'm sorry, Madam Boss."

The proprietress said to wait a moment, let them find a place to sit down, and then went into the back kitchen.

After a while, she came out with a pot of steaming beef soup, followed by two young men, carrying steamed buns with sauced beef and pickled side dishes respectively.

"How can there be no soup and water for dinner? There happens to be beef soup, so you can just drink it."

The proprietress graciously greeted everyone to eat.

Bai Zhi and Shen Changyan both expressed their gratitude.

To be able to eat such a meal in a depressed border town is really a feast.

The short man was so excited that he bowed deeply to the landlady and said with a smile: "Mrs. landlady, you are so kind. Not only do you look like a fairy, but you are also considerate. There are few people on this road, and the dry food we brought is very small." It was distributed to the refugees, but it made me hungry and green-eyed. Now I can finally have a full stomach. This is a sweet dream along the way."

The landlady was so pleased with him that she put her hand on his shoulder and said with a bold smile: "This big brother, you are really likeable when you talk. Since you are hungry, just eat more. I don't think you will be here all the way." Easy, I’ll treat you to this meal.”

When the short man saw the landlady putting her hand on his shoulder, his face turned red with embarrassment and he was speechless.

Bai Zhi laughed beside her and said, "You are usually eloquent, why can't you catch up with the lady boss?"

The short man was even more embarrassed when his thoughts were revealed.

He scratched his head and chuckled: "Madam, please stop teasing me. I have never asked for a wife, let alone been touched by a woman. The landlady put her hand on my shoulder, and I just felt that I, I..."

The young man was booing and asking with a smile: "Brother, what do you think?"

The short man was blushing, and turned his head to see that the landlady's smooth white hands were still on his shoulders. His expression was a little happy, and his voice trembled unconsciously: "Bah, what are you kidding me about?"
