Chapter 70 Scenery of the Western Regions
The carriage was traveling on a wide dirt road, with yurts spaced far apart on both sides of the road.
Looking into the distance, the view is endless.
Looking up, Bai Li saw blue sky and white clouds; looking down, he saw cattle, sheep and horses. He saw a different kind of scenery.
call!
Bai Li took a deep breath of the cool air that smelled of grass, and suddenly felt his head clear and his eyes bright. All the turbid air in his chest disappeared without a trace, and he felt indescribably comfortable all over.
"Most of Simon's territory is grassland, which is why they are so ambitious to annex the Great Zhou."
Along the way, Yuan Mo took every opportunity to instill patriotic ideas in her. Bai Li knew with her toes that this was her other mission.
Oh, if she is the savior, can she save the Great Zhou from the dire straits?
It really makes it difficult for him to praise her like this!
"Simon is not only an outstanding archer and cavalryman, his soldiers are tough and united."
Yuan Mo continued to lobby, not afraid of being heard by people outside.
Bai Li used his eyes to remind her, but she shook her head and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, we've already got our people back."
It turned out that among the four followers, two were Yu Ji's men.
The four people took turns following the two cars, and it was finally their turn that day.
According to Nangong Min's plan, Luo Yang was supposed to come as the coachman, but Nanny Wu was given a temporary order and brought two more people with her, so Luo Yang had to stay.
As for whether he stays in Qili Village or returns to the military camp, Nangong Min will make the arrangements, and it is not Bai Li's business.
On this day, they arrived at a place similar to a market. Yuan Mo said she wanted to send a message back. Bai Li didn't want to know this, but she insisted on dragging her along.
"If we encounter any misfortune, we will have to rely on you to pass the message back, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable."
Well, if you can't avoid it, just go for it.
Arriving at the small market, Nanny Wu had to replenish her food and water.
Several people in the group need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, and the two horses also need to be fed with grass and water.
So the carriage stopped at a place selling food, and Bai Li and the others asked to get off to take a look.
After much consideration, Nanny Wu asked a maid and two attendants to follow them, and told them not to go too far and to set off in half an hour.
Yuan Mo pulled Bai Li to touch and look at things curiously and excitedly, and bought whatever he liked.
They had money on them now, because their elder sister Yu Ji asked Madam Wu to bring several hundred taels of silver to their family. In front of Madam Wu, "Uncle" gave each of the two sisters one hundred taels.
Although one hundred taels is not a lot of money, for a small farmer, they may not even earn one hundred taels after working hard all their lives, and their family may only spend a few taels of silver on food and drink throughout the year. Therefore, one hundred taels is already a huge sum of money.
But he casually gave them two hundred taels, which showed how much he valued his two nieces, and Nanny Wu was even more satisfied.
The sky in the Western Regions is as blue as a gem, and the warm winter sunshine shines on the bustling little market.
The rich aroma of various spices filled the air, and the dazzling array of goods was dazzling.
Bai Li was wearing a light pink dress, and her sister Yu Chang beside her was wearing a light purple long dress, the hem of her skirt fluttering in the wind, gentle and charming.
In this crowd of women wearing gray dresses and with their heads and faces tightly covered, the two sisters became a beautiful sight in the small market.
Several pairs of eyes like hungry wolves were following them, but they were completely unaware.
Bai Li looked around curiously and said, "Sister, this Western Region market is really lively, with so many new and interesting things."
Yu Chang smiled and responded: "Yes, Yu'er, don't run around, or you might get lost."
Bai Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, Second Sister, I'm not a child anymore."
Then, in a voice that only they could hear, they said, "Which one is it?"
"You'll know in a moment. Don't look back. Just stroll around as usual."
They walked to a stall filled with exquisite jewelry. Bai Li picked up an intricately carved jade pendant and asked, "Second sister, do you think this jade pendant is beautiful?"
Yu Chang took a look and said, "It looks good, but I don't know what the texture is like."
The stall owner quickly said, "Miss, this jade pendant is carved from top-grade jade. It's definitely a good item."
Bai Li put down the jade pendant and picked up a colorful bead bracelet. She said, "Second sister, this bracelet will definitely look good on you."
Yu Chang shook her head gently: "Yu'er, don't spend money recklessly."
Bai Li didn't care and said to the stall owner, "Boss, do you still have this bracelet? I want two."
Yu Chang scolded, "Yu'er, you."
Bai Li smiled and put the bracelet on her sister's hand: "Second sister, this is a gift from me to you. One for you and one for my eldest sister."
As we continued walking forward, the aroma of barbecue hit our noses.
Bai Li's eyes lit up: "Second sister, I'm hungry. Let's try this Western barbecue."
Yu Chang nodded: "Okay, but don't eat too much, be careful of indigestion."
They sat down in front of the barbecue stall, with maids and attendants standing by to serve them.
Bai Li ate the barbecue with big mouthfuls and praised it highly: "Second sister, this tastes really good, much better than the ones we have there."
Yu Chang looked at her and couldn't help laughing: "Eat slowly, don't choke."
At this moment, there was a noise coming from the side.
Bai Li looked over curiously and saw a group of people gathered together.
Bai Li pulled her sister and said, "Second sister, let's go take a look."
The two followers wanted to stop them, but they had already left. The maid was dragged by the stall owner to pay the bill. The maid had no money, so one of the two followers had to pay the bill first, while the other and the maid chased after the two.
Due to this delay, the two men had already squeezed into the crowd, and when they looked, they saw that two vendors were arguing.
One said, "This is obviously the item I saw first!"
The other one refused to give in: "I offered a higher price, so it should be mine!"
The two people arguing were both bearded men, and their ages could not be determined.
Seeing that they were about to fight, Bai Li couldn't help but say, "Stop arguing, both of you. Take a step back. Harmony brings wealth."
The two were about to get angry when they heard this, but when they looked at Bai Li and saw that she was a sweet-looking girl, they touched her head embarrassedly and gradually calmed down.
Yu Chang said softly, "Yu'er, stop meddling in other people's business. Let's go."
Bai Li nodded and pulled her sister away.
But one of them stopped them.
"Miss, could you please tell me your name and where you are from?"
The follower was one step behind, and when he saw this, he immediately drew his sword and glared at him.
"My two heroes, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Another person came over hurriedly to interrupt and apologized with a fist salute.
Bai Li frowned. The two people who almost fought just now were now as close as brothers. What went wrong?
"Let's go. They'll cover our retreat."
Yu Chang pulled Bai Li away, and the maid followed. Two followers stopped the two with knives, and retreated while taking a defensive stance.
