Several horse-drawn carriages were creaking along the road. The first two carried sedan chairs, and the ones behind were carts carrying goods.
The curtain of the second carriage's sedan was suddenly lifted, revealing a smiling face that was both angry and happy.
Linglong looked at the scenery outside the window with joy.
This was the farthest place she had ever been in her life. Although the journey was a bit tiring, the scenery was stunning.
After leaving Pantai City and returning home safely, she only rested for three days before saying goodbye to her parents and leaving.
There were often caravans going to the border town, but it happened that her parents' host was preparing to go to the border town and wanted to exchange a batch of tea and other goods. She took the initiative to step forward and ask to go with them, and the host was easy to talk to and readily agreed.
Then they drove all the way to the border town.
I asked yesterday and was told that we should be able to reach the border town where the two countries conduct trade before noon.
Linglong could hardly contain her excitement.
You should be able to meet many Jing people in the border town, and maybe hear many interesting things.
Linglong stayed in this anxious mood until noon, when a city gradually emerged in front of her.
"We've arrived at the border town!"
The host shouted from the carriage in front, and Linglong thanked her in a crisp voice.
When we arrived at the city gate, we started the routine inspection. They asked us briefly about our luggage and let us go after we paid some tolls.
After bidding farewell to her host family, Linglong began to wander around the city with a happy look on her face.
Although this town is not luxurious, it is very bustling with people coming and going.
Countless businessmen who are looking for opportunities to make a fortune and are not afraid of hardships gather here, and both sides engage in verbal games with each other.
Linglong walked around excitedly but couldn't find anyone to ask questions to.
Everyone seemed to be in a hurry. Occasionally, there were a few people with impure eyes who tried to harass her, but she avoided them in time.
After all, there were a lot of officers and soldiers patrolling the border town, and a team would come every now and then.
No merchants passing by dared to cause trouble.
Although Linglong is beautiful, everyone's purpose is very clear. They work hard to make money. They will never cause trouble if they can avoid it. They can touch women anywhere, so it doesn't matter at this moment!
After strolling for nearly two hours, Linglong finally felt satisfied.
After asking around, I found Dajing's office.
For exchanges between border towns, both countries set up special offices to handle the affairs and public security of officials and private merchants.
When they arrived at the gate of the yamen, Linglong approached the soldier guarding the gate and said, "Sir, I have something important to ask you to see the supervisor."
The officers and soldiers looked Linglong up and down and were amused.
It's rare to see a girl in normal days, and a girl from the Jin Kingdom is so beautiful... Could she be Mr. Chen's mistress?
"What do you want to do with the inspector? Are you also a traveling merchant?" the soldier asked.
"No, I came from Pantai City and was about to go to Dajing. Lord Fang told me that I could find a supervisor to help me get to Dajing when I got here."
"Master Fang...which Master Fang?" the officers and soldiers were puzzled.
"Master Fang Zheng."
The officers and soldiers smacked their lips, puzzled, and then their expressions began to become strange.
Fang Zhengyi... seems to be the commander of the Jinyiwei? This is a very high-ranking official!
"Come in and wait. I'll go and inform them."
Linglong obediently followed the officers and soldiers into the yamen, and then the officers and soldiers hurriedly ran to the inner hall and public housing.
In the public housing, Chen Kai was painting in front of the desk with great interest.
Suddenly, an officer shouted outside the door: "Sir Chen, there is a woman who wants to see you!"
Chen Kai's hand trembled, and the ink spot fell into the center of the painting, spreading out into a ball.
"Who is it? You came here just to see me. What does you look like?" Chen Kai put away the painting, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it aside in annoyance.
"She is very beautiful, and she also said..."
"Please come in!"
How long has it been since I last saw a decent woman? And now a beauty suddenly appears?
Could it be that beauty is in trouble....good fortune falls from the sky?
Chen Kai smiled happily and hummed a little tune while cleaning the table.
"Seeing my sister smiling, with almond eyes and rosy cheeks, she is beautiful, with her black hair tied up in a bun, and her eyes are like crystal~~"
"Sir, the person has been brought here!"
"Ahem, okay!" Chen Kai's face turned serious and he looked towards the door.
I saw Linglong standing at the door, beautiful and charming, blinking her big watery eyes and looking at me curiously.
Chen Kai's heart melted instantly!
He said softly, "Please come in, young lady."
Linglong took lotus steps into the public housing and was about to squat to salute.
Chen Kai hurriedly stepped forward and supported Linglong. This time he could only feel the fragrance filling his nose, and his movements became gentler.
"Miss, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony. I am not fond of such vulgar ceremonies."
"Thank you, sir." Linglong responded in a low voice, and at the same time she was extremely happy... This is too polite, Dajing's man is really the same as what Lord Fang said!
Chen Kai rubbed his hands and asked, "May I ask your name, young lady?"
"Linglong." Linglong paused and added, "Zhao Linglong."
"What a good name! What a good name!" Chen Kai praised repeatedly, and then asked: "My dear Miss Guan, you are from Jin. I didn't expect that you are familiar with our Dajing language and can speak it so fluently. You are really smart."
Linglong said: "Your Excellency is too kind. Linglong has just admired the culture of Jingguo for a long time, so I know a little more about it."
Chen Kai was overjoyed!
Do you admire Dajing Culture?
I am a Hanlin, so I am here to play with you on culture! Although I don't know what the beauty wants, but as an imperial inspector in this broken border town, is there anything I can't solve?
Having this beauty come to my house is a match made in heaven... She even smiled at me!
