"Hey, look at those people! Aren't they cold?"
The princess looked out the window from the carriage curtain and found that the people around her were different from those she had seen on the road.
They wore animal furs and tall hats, and some even had one arm exposed.
A group of people, both men and women, were riding on horseback, all holding eagles. The scene looked very magnificent.
"This should be the culture of their nation."
Hearing this, Bai Shu also opened the curtain and walked out. Suddenly, a sentence popped up in her mind:
Holding Huang on the left and Qing on the right, with brocade hats and sable furs, a thousand riders are riding on the plain.
It turns out that those strange scenes in ancient poems and essays all have traces to follow.
No wonder the ancients were so talented and romantic, it is true that art comes from life!
"Yes, everyone here knows how to train eagles. It's a large nomadic tribe."
"How about we have roasted whole lamb tonight? The lamb here is freshly slaughtered, so it's really fresh!"
Ji Zhe interacted with people from all over the world all day long, and he did not think that falcon training was magical.
But this doesn't stop him from liking to eat meat!
The tender and juicy roasted whole lamb, rolling on the charcoal fire, sizzling with oil, and paired with carefully prepared dipping sauce, is simply a must-try!
“…”
"Azhe, your trip was really worthwhile. Everything you eat, drink, and use is the best."
The princess looked at Ji Zhe, who was almost drooling, and couldn't help but teasing him,
Before, she didn't know the true identity of the brat next to her, so she was not on guard against him.
Who knew that he was actually the seventh prince of Beimo, and he concealed his identity from them!
At first she was quite angry, but after getting along with him she felt that he was okay, at least he was a happy person, and he could help Bai Shu and the emperor's uncle find the ice stone.
In addition to what Bai Shu said about his background, maybe he lacked love since childhood,
His father never looked at him straight in the eye, his mother died early, and his maternal grandfather's family was suppressed by his father and the whole family was destroyed.
Such a helpless prince must have had a hard time living in the palace.
Beneath his sunny and enthusiastic mask, he hides a fragile and sensitive heart, so the eldest princess still has some sympathy for him.
So I just let him call her "sister" all the time. All in all, we had a pretty pleasant time together.
"Sister, roasted whole lamb is really delicious. I lied to you and I'm Da Huang!"
Ji Zhe felt that these few days were one of the few times he had the most relaxed time. Even though he was on the road all day, he was still happy.
He didn't know whether Xiao Moqing knew his identity, but he deliberately ignored their identities.
A regent prince of Dongye, a daughter of the prime minister, and a princess of Dongye.
As long as he ignores it, he can remain happy forever.
“…”
"Da Huang is so cute! I don't want it to be you!"
The eldest princess retorted.
"What's wrong? Am I not cute?"
Ji Zhe acted cute and coquettish again, and the eldest princess looked at Bai Shu for help.
But Bai Shu just smiled and looked at Xiao Moqing with a questioning look in her eyes.
"If you want to eat it, ask Chengfeng to buy one tonight."
Xiao Moqing looked at Bai Shu lovingly, with a smile on his face.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was talking about what Bai Shu wanted to eat, not what anyone else wanted to eat.
"Remember to book early! They all slaughter lambs fresh!"
Ji Zhe was so happy when he heard this that he almost jumped up and shouted directly, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to eat the mutton if he was a step late.
The eldest princess picked up Da Huang and put him in front of the boy's mouth, asking him to stop talking.
Really, don’t you see the pink bubbles floating in the air right now?
Her uncle is trying to win over Bai Shu, so why is he, with his loud voice, joining in the fun?
“…”
Ji Zhe felt that his mouth was full of Dahuang's dog hair, and he spat out twice with his tongue.
This made him feel better, he could not help but complain,
"I'm not wrong."
After such a commotion, Ji Zhe did not dare to speak casually. He sat aside feeling wronged.
The princess saw his pitiful look and knew that he was pretending.
But the boy always pretends to be right, which always makes her soft-hearted. However, she can't always indulge him.
So the princess put the dog on his lap and left it alone.
The boy agreed that this was just coaxing, he didn't care, he had the final say, so he happily teased Da Huang again.
As for Bai Shu and Xiao Moqing on the opposite side, they didn't say a word the whole time and just let them go.
…
Although the days on the road are monotonous, they are not boring.
Two carriages and eight people took only twenty days to reach the vicinity of Wuliang Cliff.
Xiao Moqing's men were all protecting in secret and did not show up. As for Ji Zhe's men, they were also protecting in secret.
Perhaps both sides knew about the existence of the other side's power, but kept silent.
Because for the time being they are friends rather than enemies, and the forces of both sides cannot be underestimated, the chances of winning if they act rashly are slim.
"Let's rest today. We'll leave tomorrow, but he and I can go. You sisters should stay at the inn and rest."
Ji Zhe said as he unloaded his luggage,
Wuliang Cliff is far from human habitation and rarely visited. This is the nearest inn.
Even if we start from here, there is still a long way to go, and the next steps are all extremely difficult mountain roads.
It was already the end of October, and Wuliang Cliff had been covered with snow for a long time. Standing at the door of the inn, they could see the snow all around.
If he brought Xiao Moqing who was skilled in Qinggong, he might still have a chance of winning.
But if I bring Bai Shu and the eldest princess along, I'm afraid they'll come back crying before they even get in...
"Who are you looking down on? We've come such a long way, of course we have to go and see it!"
"And I've never seen such a magnificent sight. Even though it's a little cold, it's really beautiful!"
The eldest princess gathered her cloak, her face full of surprise.
She had lived in the capital for twenty-one years and had never seen such a heavy snowstorm, let alone a snowy mountain.
Being pure and flawless, it actually brings peace of mind and body.
"This matter is non-negotiable. If Sister wants to enjoy the snow scenery, we can just walk around the inn this afternoon."
The young man was tough for once. He took out a heavy cloak from the big basket he had brought with him.
The princess was completely wrapped in it, with only her small head exposed.
No matter how hard she tried to be tough, her red face and nose were telling her that she was cold!
"Hey! You kid!"
The princess had been with Ji Zhe for so long, but this was the first time she saw him so serious.
Suddenly I feel that he has changed, becoming fierce and domineering. Let’s give her back the little puppy he used to be!
"Da Huang, come and see! Your master is bullying me!"
The eldest princess struggled to take the dog out of her arms.
The dog also has new clothes to wear at this moment, a thick cotton-padded jacket with flowers, which is very festive.
If you don't know, you might think it's New Year's Eve.
But the dog also knew it was cold, so it ignored Ji Zhe and tried its best to get into the princess's cloak, making a lot of noise.
No one can do anything about it...
