Chapter 170 Familiar Feeling

Old Mrs. Wang babbled with concern: "Zhuzhu, riding a horse will definitely be bumpy. By the time you get to Pingling Pass, you will probably have to wear skin on your thighs. The girl is very delicate and cannot leave scars. It will not look good." , Mom specially made a thick cotton mat for you, you won’t be afraid if you put it on it.”

There wasn't much she could do for her daughter. After much thought, she could only stay up late and make a cotton mat so that her daughter would suffer as little pain as possible, otherwise she would really have trouble sleeping at night.

Yue Mingzhu's eyes were moist, and she took the cotton cushion and held it in her arms.

Although it is not expensive, it carries her mother's deep love.

In fact, this cotton pad is very impractical and cannot be placed on the saddle at all, because it will slip and affect riding, but she did not say that this was her mother's wish.

Before leaving, Yue Mingzhu put a cotton mat on the saddle to reassure Mrs. Wang. After leaving the village, she took off the cotton mat and threw it away, along with the pile of food and supplies. Went in.

Because the situation was urgent, they needed to work as fast as they could, taking no rest if they could, and striving to deliver the food to Pinling Pass as soon as possible. They still didn't know what the situation was like at Pinling Pass. If they wasted a moment, Pinling Pass would be in more danger.

But even if people can hold on, horses can't. After galloping for a day and night, the horses are so tired that they can't run anymore. There is no way, Yue Mingzhu and Jiang Wuhen can only change horses at a post station.

Because there is a warrant written by the old master in advance and stamped with the old master's seal, as long as the warrant is presented, trivial matters such as changing horses at the inn are not a problem.

But the horses at the inn are not as good as their own horses. They can't run for half a day, so changing horses all the time is not an option.

And as you get to the back, you can’t keep up with your physical strength and energy even if you’re not sleeping.

Yue Mingzhu thought about it and took out something from the space, which shocked Jiang Wuhen to the point of dumbfounding.

Electric tricycle!

"Mingzhu, you're awesome. You even have this. Then you should also have a car. Why don't you just take out the car?"

Yue Mingzhu remained calm as usual: "The car target is too big and easy to be discovered. Moreover, the road is so broken and narrow. Wherever the car can escape, it will be easy to spot."

The electric tricycle was the one without a hood. Yue Mingzhu drove it first, and Jiang Wuhen sat in the back.

Jiang Wuhen was very excited at first, as if he had found the familiar feeling of modern times, racing at lightning speed.

But soon he stopped laughing.

It’s so crazy!

What a broken road!

Yes, ancient roads were full of potholes and could not be as smooth as modern concrete and asphalt roads. The electric tricycle was naturally bumpy when running.

It was okay for Yue Mingzhu to ride in front, but for Jiang Wuhen, who was sitting in the back, it was miserable. He felt like his internal organs were about to be knocked out.

And because he was in a hurry, Yue Mingzhu drove very fast. The night wind blew, and Jiang Wuhen felt that his scalp was about to be blown off.

"Hey, hey, I can't do it anymore, Mingzhu, stop it, I have to vomit for a while first!"

Yue Mingzhu had to stop first, as he couldn't let Uncle Jiang vomit in the car.

After stopping, Yue Mingzhu turned around and glanced at Jiang Wuhen. It didn't matter if she looked back, she laughed directly at Jiang Wuhen without even bothering to vomit.

"Hahahaha, Mingzhu, how come you have become like Zhang Fei, hahahaha." Jiang Wuhen burst into laughter.

Yue Mingzhu raised her hand and touched her hair. Well, her hair was blown up and messy. She knew without looking that it was probably similar to a chicken coop. She smoothed her hair calmly, took out a rubber band from the space and tied it all up. stand up.

Then he said unceremoniously: "Uncle Jiang, you're not much better. Well, I'll probably have to call you brother-in-law when I see you."

Although it was night, Yue Mingzhu brought the lighting from the space, so each other's images could be seen clearly.

Not only did the two of them have messy hair, but their faces were also dusty and full of dirt.

Yes, it would be weird to just keep running on the dirt road and not be satisfied with the dirt on your body and face.

Jiang Wuhen was successfully hit by Yue Mingzhu. He quickly took out a small mirror from his arms and let out a scream.

Is that him in the mirror? What a flawless and suave image he has!

However, after such a fuss, Yue Mingzhu also came back to her senses.

She had lived in ancient times for so long that her brain had become stupid. She didn't even know how to wear a helmet. She immediately took out two helmets and handed one to Jiang Wuhen. Then she took out a thick sofa cushion and spread it in the back car. Fight, so that Uncle Jiang won't be so uncomfortable. Not only that, she also took out the quilt so that people could sleep in it for a while without feeling too tired.

Sure enough, with such an arrangement, Jiang Wuhen felt much more comfortable, half-lying comfortably, and soon fell asleep.

However, Jiang Wuhen didn't sleep much. He just slept for an hour and then got up to sleep for a while.

In this way, the two of them took turns, without delaying their journey at all.

During the day, I was afraid of attracting people's attention, so I rode a horse. At night, I rode an electric tricycle. When the tricycle ran out of power, I threw it in the empty space and replaced it with another tricycle.

After traveling day and night, we finally arrived at Pingling Pass three days later.

Looking at Pingling Pass in front of them, Yue Mingzhu and Jiang Wuhen let out a long sigh of relief at the same time.

finally reached!

It had been a long time since either of them had suffered this.

They were both image-conscious people and didn't want to go into the city like this, so the two found a deserted place, and Yue Mingzhu quickly brought Jiang Wuhen into the space.

There is a bathroom in the space and everything is complete.

The two of them quickly freshened up, swept away their previous embarrassment, and appeared in front of others brightly.

The interrogation when entering the city was very strict. It was during the war. To prevent enemy spies from sneaking in, no one was allowed to enter.

If the two of them didn't have the old master's warrant, they wouldn't even be able to enter the city gate.

As soon as they entered the city, the two felt the seriousness of the situation.

There are very few pedestrians on the street, and even if there are one or two occasionally, they are in a hurry and look skinny.

The two looked at each other. Although they didn't speak, they both understood each other's meaning.

It seems that the entire Pinling Pass is short of food, and the war must be particularly tense. Even ordinary people dare not go out at will.

I wanted to find someone to find out where the army was stationed, but the people on the street were like rabbits. As soon as they came forward, they would scare people and run away, as if they were afraid of being caught.

Reluctantly, they could only turn back to the city gate and ask the officers and soldiers guarding the city.

This was a military secret. The officers and soldiers guarding the city gave them a very stern look and told them not to inquire, saying that knowing too much would not be good for them.

Well, it seems we can’t find out from here.

All I can do is go to the government and ask.

The location of the government office was no secret, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city told them happily.

The government office is located on the main street in the city and is easy to find. The two of them found it quickly.

They took out the old lady's warrant and showed it to the gatekeeper.

Naturally, the gatekeepers were familiar with the level of official seals of the Great Qian Dynasty. They were responsible for welcoming people and sending them off. If they didn’t even know these basics, they wouldn’t know where they got the information whenever they offended someone. wind.

Soon the gatekeeper came out, and not only the gatekeeper came out, but also the prefect.

It's not surprising that there are many people with courtesy, so the two of them happily presented themselves to the prefect: "I've seen you, sir!"

The prefect couldn't figure out their depth and didn't dare to take it seriously. He quickly said: "No need to be polite!"

Then he asked: "May I ask what you two came to my office for? But what does Old Master Xue want to say?"
