As he spoke, there was a sound of wheels in front of him. When he looked up, a group of carriages turned from the main road and was driving along this small road.

As I walked, sporadic water splashed down on one side of the carriage.

It covered up the dust raised by the horse's hoof.

Nan Yan watched the carriages approaching and parked in front of the tea stall. The stall owner immediately greeted him enthusiastically. The hot and sweaty drivers all sat down and asked for a bowl of tea. drink.

For a while, the small tea stalls became lively.

In this situation, several guards immediately stepped forward and surrounded the small table where Nan Yan was sitting. No matter who those driving the car were, they were all men. It would be a death crime to touch the concubine.

Nan Yan only waved his hand, making them stand still.

Looking at these people with their dusty faces, they seemed to come from a long distance, but when you look at the carriage, it is not an ordinary carriage. There are huge wooden barrels behind the carriage, and there is always clean water. Dripping down.

Roughly speaking, there are about a dozen such carriages.

Nan Yan said, "What does such a carriage do?"

Her voice was not too big or too small, as if she was talking to herself, but also as if she was asking someone. A coachman sitting at the table closest to her looked back at her and said with a smile: "This lady Must be from outside, right?"

Nan Yan Luoluo smiled generously, and said: "My husband's family is in business. The horse was injured in the wind and sand two days ago. It happened to come to Han Dongwei to rest for two days."

"No wonder you don't recognize our car."

"Excuse me, what is this car for?"

"What else can be transported, water transport?"

"water……?"

Nan Yan looked at the carriage again. Indeed, the wooden barrel at the back was filled with water. She said, "What do you do with water?"

The coachman smiled and said, "Madam’s words are so funny. What else can we do with water? Our Handongwei is no better than Beijing, Jinling, and those big places. The water is used up. Here, the water can only be held and drunk. Whoever uses water to wash the floor, sees it, is going to hit the board."

"Oh? So, is this water transported to the city for everyone to drink?"

"Exactly."

"So much water, how long will it last?"

"So many? Not much. Our team runs this way and only has enough water for half a day in the city. There are a few teams behind, not much together."

"Then you guys have worked hard."

"What's this? After running this trip, I'll go back and pay the job immediately, and I have to turn it on."

"……Oh."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "Then you have worked hard."

The coachman said, "Hey, a person is alive, isn't it just to make some hard money and eat a good meal?"

After speaking, several of them drank the tea in their respective bowls, gave money, and got up one after another and drove away.

Nan Yan was sitting on the tea stand, and she saw that there were still several teams of people carrying water back to the city.

It's really hard going back and forth.

After Nan Yan finished his tea, he returned to the car after giving the money, and went around the city again. Seeing the dusk fall, he made the carriage turn around and return to the capitol.

On the road, you can still see the water stains spilled by the water truck, which has washed the road clean.

Nan Yan leaned against the car and said to Ruoshui with a smile, "Make some hard money, eat a good meal...Tsk, look, people often say that the people are dull, but I don’t think it’s true. The person just said casually. Well, it tells all about life."

Ruo Shui smiled and said, "The slave and maid don't understand."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "You are too old to understand this."

Ruoshui said: "This is what the empress said, the empress is not big."

Nan Yan only smiled, and raised a corner of the curtain to look outside. Instead of looking at the street outside, he looked towards the horizon. The setting sun was slowly falling underground.

She murmured: "I don't know if the emperor and them are in Yulianhe now."

When she said this, Zhu Feng was taking Chen Zixiao, Xue Yun, and several accompanying soldiers on horseback galloping. In the blood-red light of the setting sun, the familiar birch forest appeared in the distance.

In the sunset, the entire birch forest reflected dazzling light.

Several people rode their horses and galloped past. The thick fallen leaves on the ground were like carpets. Horseshoes stepped on them and made a rustling sound.

Zhu Feng got off his horse and got off his horse. As before, he threw the reins to the soldiers following him and asked him to tie the horse to the trunk.

Xue Yun had gone through the last time, and now it won't be so uncomfortable for another day of bumps.

She rolled over and got off the horse, only feeling that her thighs were a little numb, but everything else was fine. She tied the horse and looked at Zhu Feng.

He held his hands behind his back and looked into the distance.

Then said: "Xue Yun."

"Weichen is here."

"Come with me on a walk over there."

"……Yes."

Standing aside, Chen Zixiao frowned slightly when he heard the emperor say this, and said softly: "The emperor, let the minister accompany the emperor."

"Ok?"

Zhu Feng looked back at him.

Chen Zixiao said: "Although this place is not within the scope of White Tiger City, in the end, there is their secret sentry across the river. In the past few days, White Tiger City has dispatched troops and moved frequently, in case something happens—"

"nothing."

Zhu Feng said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm not a river."

"can--"

"okay,"

Although Zhu Feng spoke a lot better than before, it didn't mean he could let others obstruct him. Seeing the emperor interrupted him, Chen Zixiao didn't dare to say more.

Zhu Feng said: "I know that you brought food and water. Let's make a fire here and get something to eat. I will take Xue Aiqing over to see the scenery, come back to eat something, and then go back to the captain's mansion."

"……Yes."

Chen Zixiao couldn't, and could only take a few people to guard in the birch forest.

And Xue Yun was the same as before, behind Zhu Feng, the two walked slowly towards the Yulian River.

One of the soldiers also looked at the two men’s backs, and said softly to Chen Zixiao: "My lord, the younger ones don’t understand. The emperor brought us here. If it’s really to inspect the border, it’s fine. What's the matter with that woman?"

"Yes, she also reported today that a medicine was stolen, and the dignified Duwei's mansion, is it possible that some snatches risked the crime of punishing the Nine Clan to get in? Didn't that beat your lord in the face?"

"Moreover, I stole a medicine."

"Who knows what medicine it is? This woman is weird, but the emperor always takes her with her."

"Just what she can do with her fragile appearance, but it will cause us trouble."

Everyone complained, but Chen Zixiao just stood quietly.

I have been watching the backs of the two people disappear in front, and then said with a straight face and expressionlessly: "Okay, you don't want to talk about the emperor's affairs, let's work."

Everyone couldn't, they could only respond, and obediently lighted the fire and went to work.
