Yipin Tang

Chapter 78 Westward Journey
On the fifth day of the great feast, Lin Chuanhou's mansion even celebrated for a full ten days.

Another five days went by without a hitch, Wang Xiang didn't go anywhere, just stayed in the mansion with Wu Shun and Xiao Luoli.

Waking up on this day, the residents of Chang'an City were surprised to find that the peach trees beside the Jinguang Lake were in bloom, branching eastward and westward. The peach blossoms that had just bloomed were as white as fat, jade, and snow.

An unobtrusive caravan walked through the peach grove by Jinguang Lake, passed through the bustling West Market, exited Yanping Gate, and headed west along the official road.

Chang'an City is the imperial capital of the empire, and there are countless caravans that come and go every day. No one will deliberately pay attention to a small caravan with a dozen people.

Wang Xiang sat on the carriage bored, holding the snack box specially prepared for him by Aunt Lin in his hand, throwing a snack into his mouth from time to time.The carriage is not a carriage carrying people. There are bags of grain piled on it, including corn from the north and rice from the south. The bags containing grain are somewhat similar to the sacks of later generations. People will feel hot when sitting on them in this season, but yes For Wang Xiang, it was better than riding a horse.

Sitting with him on the grain pile was Li Huiming. Li Huiming didn't know how to ride a horse, but he just thought it was easier and he could eat the snacks in Wang Xiang's snack box at any time.

"Brother Wang, I heard that you went to the Yicui Tower and offered a price of [-] yuan to redeem Miss Ningxiang. I admire you very much."

Li Huiming picked out a piece of honey stuffed dessert from the snack box and threw it into his mouth like Wang Xiang did.

Wang Xiang looked at Li Huiming with a mean smile and knew that he was also gloating in his heart. This guy has a very generous heart. A few days ago, he put on a miserable look in front of Wang Xiang, but now he looks like nothing happened. .

Not only failed to redeem Ningxiang's body when he went to Yicui Tower that day, even Xiaobei and the others failed to redeem him, Xiang didn't want to talk about it.

"Brother Li seems to be in a good mood today, and is willing to go to Gaochang as an envoy? Don't you worry about encountering thieves on the road?"

Li Huiming chuckled: "We are a caravan now. I heard that Xizhou is very friendly to Datang's caravan. Besides, brother Liang is afraid of thieves when traveling with us."

Cheng Chuliang rode Jinghong and followed beside the carriage, and he grinned when he heard Li Huiming's words: "If a thief dares to come, he will definitely come and never come back!"

After a period of recuperation since he was shoed on the horse, Jinghong has returned to his previous spirit.

Wang Xiang rolled his eyes at them: "I don't want to encounter any thieves. It's best to go all the way to Xizhou in a safe and sound way, and then quickly finish your majesty's errands and return to Chang'an in a safe and sound way."

Cheng Chuliang ignored Wang Xiang's nagging, and pouted at Li Huiming, "Brother Li, bring me a dessert stuffed with mutton."

"Okay." Li Huiming was very enthusiastic about Cheng Chuliang, and this guy was pointing to Cheng Chuliang to protect him.

The three of them ate snacks and chatted along the way, feeling very comfortable.

"Aqinu, that cook who climbed to the fairy tower is really hateful. It's fine to be lazy and sit on the truck, but he even secretly prepared snacks."

When Wang Xiang is satisfied, some people are not happy. Ju Yiya has been paying attention to the snack box in Wang Xiang's hand along the way.

Seeing Ju Yiya's indignant appearance, Aqinu gave a helpless wry smile. For some reason, Ju Yiya always likes to be called Wang Xiang's cook.

"Princess, the prince is the deputy envoy, don't let him hear it."

"What's the matter if you hear it?" Ju Yiya raised her neck, and suddenly asked Aqinu in a low voice: "Aqinu, what kind of snacks are in his box? no the same?"

Aqinu felt sweaty in his heart, sure enough, his foodie princess had taken a fancy to other people's dim sum, and Ju Yiya had always had little resistance to delicious food.

In fact, they also bought some snacks and snacks in Chang'an City before they set off, but after all, they couldn't bring more of these things. Ju Yiya couldn't help but taste it and try it again...the result hasn't gone far , the prepared snacks have been tasted by Ju Yiya, and then she noticed the snack box in Wang Xiang's hand. The snacks in it seemed to be more delicious than the ones they bought from the snack shop.

The dim sum specially prepared by Aunt Lin is naturally not comparable to those dim sum shops in Chang'an City. Not to mention the taste, the appearance is very attractive.

"Princess, let's eat some Hubing first."

Ju Yiya wrinkled her nose: "Aqinu, we should prepare more snacks."

"Princess, snacks are not like dry food, they won't last long."

Ju Yiya took the pancake with her mouth pouted and took a small bite: "The cook who ascended the fairy tower prepared a lot of dim sum. I think the three of them have been eating all the way and haven't finished it yet."

Speaking of this, Ju Yiya suddenly thought of something. She found that Wang Xiang seemed to have more than one snack box. Every time he finished eating snacks, he would always jump off the carriage and go somewhere. When he came back, he had another snack box in his hand.

He must have hidden the snack box somewhere.Ju Yiya's eyes rolled and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Wang Xiang did ask Aunt Lin to prepare a lot of snacks, much more than Ju Yiya imagined, and he put these snacks in the warehouse. The food in the warehouse will not deteriorate. It is necessary to go to Gaochang. When he was young, he didn't want to eat dry food for several months with the mission.

……

"What does Daoist Yuan think of Wang Zixin?"

There were only Li Shimin and Yuan Tiangang in the Taiji Hall. Li Shimin put down the small notebook in his hand and asked a question. The small notebook recorded the conversation between Li Chunfeng and Wang Xiang in Gewuyuan.

"I can't see through."

"Oh?" Li Shimin said in surprise: "It's the first time I've heard these three words from Daoist Yuan."

"Pimpedao is just an ordinary person, and there will naturally be people who can't see through things."

"Yuan Daochang means that Wang Zixin is not an ordinary person?"

Yuan Tiangang smiled without saying a word.

"The study of sages and sages is the study of emperors, and the study of gewu is the study of the people of the world." Li Shimin picked up the small book again and murmured.

"Your Majesty, before leaving, Wang Zixin left something for Chunfeng to give to His Majesty."

Li Shimin wondered: "What is it, why didn't he give it to me personally?"

Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said, "What Wang Zixin handed over to Chunfeng was a sealed box, and I don't know what's inside, but Chunfeng said that Wang Zixin asked him to hand over this thing to His Majesty before leaving, absolutely not Leak out."

Li Shimin suddenly became interested: "Where is the box?"

Yuan Tiangang pulled out a wooden box the size of an inkstone from his wide sleeve, which was sealed with sealing wax.

Li Shimin took the wooden box, inspected the wax and saw that there was no abnormality, and then removed the wax. After opening the box, he saw that there was only one piece of folded rice paper inside.
