After fleeing famine, I rely on space to raise cubs

Chapter 79 Gulong Town

The sound of horse hooves came rapidly from far to near, and Su Qing quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't help but feel confident when he spoke, "Your Majesty is right, some things cannot be changed. This is destined by God. Since it cannot be changed, I naturally have to accept it, but acceptance does not mean complete acceptance. I am willing to face it with Song Zhi.

Because we have a common home."

Song Zhi cannot choose his identity. He has a deep blood feud. If he and Su Qing spend their whole lives doing nothing in Jijia Village, Su Qing may not be able to accept it.

You must first eliminate the anger in your heart before you can be better with your family.

This is also the reason why Su Qing is willing to come with Song Zhi.

Liang Jingrui didn't speak. Su Qing stayed true to Song Zhi's every word. If this other woman could be alone with the prince, it would be a great blessing. But Su Qing was different. From the moment she met Liang Jingrui, she never showed any flattery.

In other words, he now treats Liang Jingrui at a distance and speaks with great respect.

Liang Jingrui was a little unhappy.

Song Zhi turned over and dismounted. Su Qing waved his arms and said, "You are so fast. Is the journey safe?"

Song Zhi held a thick mattress in his hand and said with a smile: "It's naturally safe."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Under the night, one could still see that behind their thick smiles was a love that no one else could explain.

The two of them revealed their thoughts in front of Liang Jingrui without any covering up.

Liang Jingrui clenched his fists and said: "Now that I have got it, I should go back. Song Aiqing, the border is full of dangers, so I will leave it to you. The affairs of the Treasury must be handled. As for how to deal with it, Song Aiqing will decide."

Liang Jingrui did not wait for Song Zhi to express his loyalty, mounted his horse and left.

Song Zhi and Su Qing watched him leave. Song Zhi said: "What did the prince say to you?"

Su Qing said calmly: "What can I say, it's just idle talk."

Song Zhi turned his head. He pulled Su Qing's shoulders hard and pulled her into his arms. "It's my fault to leave you alone, but the prince has serious thoughts. I don't dare to bet. I know you must have done a lot."

good."

Su Qing patted Song Zhi on the back and said, "You are a scheming boy. You deliberately asked me to confront you. You also said that you are honest. I think you have a lot of clever ideas."

Song Zhi smiled naively and said: "I know you can understand my feelings, Qing'er, I can't forgive you this time, and I will definitely repay you twice as much in the future."

Su Qing didn't speak. Just like what she just said, Song Zhi had no way to choose his identity, and he couldn't choose his parents. He didn't want to have a blood feud. If everything was safe, the two of them would not be together.

See you.

Su Qing sighed slightly, this man was helpless, so why should she cause trouble to him.

The mattress was placed behind Song Zhi so that it would not affect Song Zhi's sight.

After getting on the horse, Su Qing hugged Song Zhi's waist tightly and muttered: "You have to ride faster, this matter cannot be delayed."

After a pause, Su Qing leaned her forehead on Song Zhi's back and choked with sobs, "You'd better go as slow as possible, I can't bear it."

It hurt so damn much.

Song Zhi patted the back of Su Qing's hand distressedly, squeezed it hard, and said, "Hold on."

The horse roared and the cold night wind blew on her face. Su Qing buried her face completely in Song Zhi's back. Even so, her legs and feet were still trembling with cold.

Hangu Pass is located in the south of Dingzhou. There is a small road leading directly to the border pass. When the sky was slightly bright, the two of them had arrived at the border village. This is a town about ten kilometers away from the pass. Here, several nearby places trade with each other.

The gathering place is particularly lively.

At this time, it was getting bright. Song Zhi came to the door of a restaurant. The waiter ran over enthusiastically, "Sir, what can I have something to eat? The shop has everything."

Song Zhi carefully helped Su Qing off the horse and said, "Here are two bowls of plain noodles and a plate of roast mutton."

The waiter took the horse to feed the grass and shouted inside.

As soon as Su Qing's legs touched the ground, her body immediately fell forward. Song Zhi hurriedly supported her, "Are you okay?"

Su Qing's face turned pale, and the skin on her legs was already worn out. She grinned in pain, "No, I'm not well at all. We've already arrived at Gulong Town. I won't ride a horse even if I die. I want a carriage."

Su Qing wanted to cry. Tears were already welling up in her eyes. She clutched Song Zhi's fingers with her hands and choked, "I really hurt."

Song Zhi was heartbroken, "Let me carry you in."

Su Qing took a picture of him trying to hug him, "Let's go aside, there are so many people watching, we have to keep a low profile."

Being carried to a meal by a man in broad daylight is not looking for attention.

Although Gulong Town is a population gathering place, there are a lot of people coming and going, and some people are leading camels on the road, which attracts a lot of attention.

Su Qing looked at the leisurely camel, still chewing grass in its mouth. The man next to him had dark skin and a hat on his head. If he looked carefully, he didn't look like a person from the Liang Kingdom.

Song Zhi followed her gaze and explained: "Looking at his clothes, he should be from the Qiang country. Gulong Town is indeed a good place for trade gatherings."

Su Qing always thought that the border pass was bitterly cold and that the population and trade would be depressed. He never imagined that the place at Hangu Pass would be so lively.

The two of them walked to a small restaurant, where many people were drinking and chatting.

And there were all kinds of people there, as if I were in a foreign country.

Su Qing picked a relatively high chair and sat down, and said: "Hangu Pass has been plagued by wars all year round, why is it still so lively here?"

Song Zhi picked up the teapot and poured water for Su Qing and explained: "Although Youzhou State has a strong military, their country is too small. Most of it is saline-alkali land and cannot grow food at all. Most of the food in the country needs to be produced by us."

Purchased by the country and the Di Rong people, there is also a group of soldiers guarding between Gulong Town and Hangu Pass. For hundreds of years, Hangu Pass has never been broken by Youzhou Kingdom, so Gulong Town has become the default place of the Three Kingdoms.

Trading locations will not violate this unwritten rule unless absolutely necessary."

Su Qing picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said: "In this way, the Treasury defense map was stolen this time. I am afraid that someone wants to provoke a dispute between the two countries, and Youzhou State is also threatening Hangu Pass.

Sure, if Gulong Town is under their jurisdiction, wouldn’t it be even more advantageous?”

Song Zhi nodded, "Not only Youzhou Kingdom, but also the Di Rong people think so, so Hangu Pass is very important."

Su Qing tapped her index finger slowly on the table, raised the corners of her lips and smiled slightly: "It's been a few days since the defense map was lost. The Youzhou Kingdom just clamored outside Hangu Pass but did not call in. Why do you think it is?"

Song Zhi took out his brother Su Qing, who was wearing a silk handkerchief, and said, "I'm thinking that the defense plan is just a decoy, and the purpose is not Hangu Pass."

Su Qing raised her eyes, moved her lips slightly, and said three words.
