After my rebirth, I married my ex-husband and his uncle

Chapter 412 Please do one thing
The shop waiter replied: "That's because the water quality here is special."

Cheng You'an was curious: "What kind of special method?"

"About fifty miles to the north from here, there is a spring called Heiyang Spring. There is a special substance at the bottom of Heiyang Spring."

Cheng You'an: "You mean, because the black sheep drink the water there all the year round, those substances enter the body of the black sheep, which makes the meat of the black sheep fine and smooth, without firewood or smell?"

The waiter nodded: "Exactly."

"But how did you find out?" Cheng You'an asked doubtfully.

Shop Xiaoer: "Everyone in Kuyu City knows this. As for who discovered it, I don't know. I also heard it from my father."

Cheng You'an: Uh... alright.

Since the black sheep couldn't be brought back, Cheng You'an could only turn his regret into appetite, and ate hard.

Because Qin Fenghua had been buying leg of lamb at Furonglou for a few days ago, he was already addicted, so he didn't eat in a hurry, but ate slowly while chatting with the waiter.

"Xiao Er, this meal cost you a lot."

The waiter immediately waved his hand and said: "Miss Qin, please don't say that. These days, you have helped me so much, and a roast lamb would cost me nothing. This is just my humble gratitude. What is this in comparison to?"

Qin Fenghua didn't want to continue pushing the ceremony on this matter, so she changed the subject, looked around the Laifu Inn, then looked at the waiter, and said: "You can run this inn with peace of mind now, as for your father's matter , there will always be a way in the future, you can rest assured."

There were too many people in the lobby, Qin Fenghua had already told the waiter privately what he should say, and I just mentioned it here to reassure him.

The shop waiter nodded: "I understand, Miss Qin." He looked at his inn and said, "This inn is my father's life's painstaking effort. Before my father comes back, I will definitely manage it well and make it better and better. , I plan to renovate the inn inside and out when I have spare money in my hand, and give my father a surprise when he comes back."

Qin Fenghua was very pleased: "It would be great if you can think so."

"By the way, Miss Qin, which way do you plan to take after you leave the city?" the waiter asked.

Qin Fenghua glanced at Guide Kou, and then said: "Guide Kou said that if we want to cross the desert at the fastest speed, we can only take the Kuyu-Cha trunk line."

"Kuyu-Cha main line?" The waiter thought about the approximate route in his mind, then nodded, agreeing, "That's true, but... it might be a bit dangerous to take that route."

Qin Fenghua frowned and asked, "Why?"

"Miss Qin, have you ever heard of Sand Pirates?" the waiter asked.

"Sand Pirates?" Qin Fenghua shook his head, expressing that he had never heard of it.

The waiter explained: "Sand bandits are a group of bandits wandering in the desert. They make a living by robbing passing merchants and tourists of their belongings. Their methods are cruel and plucking. There was a sand bandit robbery among us a while ago. "He rolled his eyes up, thought about it, and then said, "I remember that it was a camel caravan with more than a dozen people, and it transported twenty camels to sell to the Western Regions. After a short stay here , also because I was in a hurry, I took the Kuyu-Cha main line, but I didn't expect that just half a day after leaving the city, a dozen people and twenty camels were all killed by sand robbers. Cruel, I heard people who went to the scene say that most of the people and camels were decapitated, and the blood that flowed out was so much that it dyed the whole sand red!"

Hearing this, Cheng You'an was so frightened that his hands trembled, and suddenly he felt the back of his neck cool. He looked at Qin Fenghua and said, "I said, Qin Fenghua, otherwise we should not go that way. It doesn't matter if you are a few days later Yes, my aunt won't blame us for this situation."

Qin Fenghua: "Aren't you eager to save your cousin?"

Cheng You'an: "To save my cousin, we need to save our lives. If our lives are gone, won't my cousin definitely wait to die? So, let's change the route."

Qin Fenghua looked at him for a moment, and then said: "Okay, since your cousin has said so, I naturally have no objection." Then, she turned to look at Guide Kou, and asked, "Is there a safer route? , the journey will not be too long?"

Guide Kou is a middle-aged man with a beard and an old felt hat. He put down the roast mutton in his hands for the time being, wiped his oily mouth with a coarse cloth sleeve, and then looked at Qin Fenghua and said: : "Yes, it is, but it takes us twice as much time. Adding up the back and forth, even if we go at the fastest speed, it will take five days to reach the Western Region Army's garrison."

Qin Fenghua frowned: "Is there no shorter route?"

Guide Kou shook his head: "No, except for this one, other routes will take more than seven days. In fact, if you are not in such a hurry, I suggest you take the official route."

"Official way? Is there official way here?" Qin Fenghua asked in surprise.

Guidance Kou: "Yes, about five years ago, in order to facilitate the transportation of food, Lord Rong En specially ordered the Western Region Army to build an official road. We walked about [-] miles north from Kuyu City to the official road repaired by the Western Region Army. Got it."

Qin Fenghua: "How long will it take to walk the official path?"

Guide Kou: "It will take ten days at the earliest."

Qin Fenghua: "..."

They couldn't afford to delay on the tenth day, so Empress Cheng gave a one-month deadline, which was still a one-month round-trip deadline, so they obviously couldn't waste a third of their time on the road.

Finally, Qin Fenghua made a final decision: "Let's take the second route you just mentioned, five days or five days." She looked at Guide Kou and asked again, "Are you sure that route is safe?"

Guidance Kou: "I can only say that it is safer, but I can't guarantee it, because Sand Pirates are people and they are mobile, and I'm not sure if they will run into our road at a whim," he said here, Seeing that Qin Fenghua and Cheng You'an's faces were not looking good, they quickly added, "However, so far, I haven't heard of any caravans or passengers being looted on that road."

Although Qin Fenghua was not satisfied with his answer, there was nothing he could do, because what he said was right. The Sand Pirates are human beings, and they have brains. The merchants are afraid that the Sand Pirates will change their route, and the Sand Pirates will naturally continue to rob them in another way. .

Therefore, for the current plan, the only way to resist the possible fatal danger is to strengthen vigilance, equip the guards with more weapons, and increase the value of force.

Thinking of this, Qin Fenghua looked at Xiao Er in the shop, and said, "Xiao Er, I want to ask you something."

Shopkeeper: "What's the matter?"
