In less than half an hour, a maid came to inform Xiao Qingluo that they were about to set off.
Xiao Qingluo took Menglan and got directly into the carriage.
They didn't have anything to take with them, so the two of them sat in their carriage, which was empty. Unlike Xiao Ruolian, she had hired an extra carriage to carry her things.
Sitting in the car, Menglan exclaimed: "Oh my! Miss, the thing that Carpenter Wang delivered this morning was left at home!"
Xiao Qingluo smiled and glanced at the confused Menglan, saying, "It's okay, I'll put her in the car."
Menglan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Young lady, you really think it through. I'm really too stupid!"
Xiao Qingluo smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's okay, I'll just remember it."
Menglan leaned on Xiao Qingluo's shoulder with an intimate look on her face.
The road to Xuzhou City is paved with pipelines, so there is no need to worry about bandits or anything like that.
We stopped and walked along the way, and took care of our eating, drinking, defecating and urinating on the way.
Occasionally, when passing by some small counties, I would go there to buy some supplies and have a hot meal.
The journey was quite pleasant.
Especially since Xiao Qingluo brought Menglan with him, and did not go with Xiao Yuanhe, Yu Huilan and the others.
Or Xiao Yuanhe and his family of three would go to the county to rest, and she, Xiao Qingluo, would choose to rest in the car or go somewhere else to eat, and then return to the car early.
However, Xiao Yuanhe and his family of three were obviously afraid that she would run away, so they arranged several servants to monitor them around her.
Xiao Qingluo didn't care, after all, she had no intention of running away.
she
If I wanted to run, I would have run long ago.
But just one day later, something unexpected happened!
It was noon that day.
It was still a hundred miles away from Xuzhou City, and the carriage traveled slowly for the whole morning.
It was a time when people were exhausted and horses were exhausted.
Suddenly, the driver saw a small thatched hut on the side of the road from a distance.
There were three tables under the thatched shed, at one of which sat two burly rangers with swords on their waists, eating braised meat and drinking wine.
A peddler dressed in linen clothes who looked like an old farmer was wiping the table diligently.
Obviously this is a tea shop opened in the wild!
The driver saw the teahouse and immediately licked his dry lips. He said to Xiao Yuanhe and Yu Huilan in the carriage, "Master, Madam, there's a teahouse up ahead. The horses are tired. Should we stop by to rest and buy a couple of cups of tea?"
After hearing this, Xiao Yuanhe thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then let's stop and rest for 25 minutes before continuing!"
The carriage stopped at a teahouse and the driver got off to feed the horses hay and water.
Xiao Yuanhe and others got out of the car and ordered a few pots of tea.
Xiao Qingluo also got out of the car with Menglan.
Xiao Yuanhe, Yu Huilan, and Xiao Ruolian sat at the same table.
Xiao Qingluo and Menglan sat at the last table and ordered a pot of tea.
The tea shop vendor turned around and brought three pots of tea to the table, then sat down aside.
After all, Xiao Yuanhe's family was obviously wealthy, and he, a small vendor, didn't dare to talk to them.
However, Xiao Qingluo discovered.
The vendor looked in their direction from time to time.
Moreover, the two big men dressed as rangers at the other table were eating the meat in their hands and drinking wine at the same time.
But their eyes would occasionally look in their direction.
Xiao Qingluo had a bad feeling in his heart!
But Xiao Qingluo just felt that he was overthinking.
After all, no matter how remote this place is, it is still a government road.
It is impossible for bandits to appear near official roads.
Xiao Qingluo told himself not to think too much and poured a bowl of tea.
But when she poured the tea, her brows furrowed slightly.
When the tea was poured out, there was a layer of white powdery sediment at the bottom of the bowl.
Xiao Qingluo picked up the tea and smelled it.
She actually smelled a faint, pungent smell that ordinary people could hardly smell!
"This is the smell of Aconitum... This is... an ancient knockout drug?!"
If it weren't for her deep knowledge of Aconitum.
The pungent smell of Aconitum kusnezoffii was masked by the strong tea flavor and was almost undetectable!
Xiao Qingluo suddenly raised his head and saw Xiao Ruolian pouring water for Xiao Yuanhe and Yu Huilan.
Xiao Yuanhe and Yu Huilan have already picked up their bowls and are ready to drink!
Xiao Qingluo instantly raised the tea bowl and smashed it towards the table where Xiao Yuanhe and Yu Huilan were sitting!
With a snap, the tea bowl broke!
Tea and tea bowl fragments splashed all over them!
Xiao Yuanhe and Yu Huilan were immediately furious and slammed their tea bowls heavily on the table almost in the same way!
He roared at Xiao Qingluo: "Rebellious son! What are you doing!"
Xiao Yuanhe stood up and was about to teach Xiao Qingluo a lesson.
Xiao Qingluo looked at Xiao Yuanhe calmly and said, "There's a knockout drug in this tea. If you miss, drink it. I won't stop you this time."
Xiao Yuanhe was shocked when he heard this: "You mean the knockout drug?!"
How could he not know about the knockout drug!
That's what those bandits and robbers like to use the most!
Especially those bandits and robbers like to disguise themselves as tea vendors in the wilderness, secretly put drugs in the tea, and then knock out the passing merchants.
As soon as those merchants opened their eyes, they found themselves in the bandits' den. There was no way they could escape!
Then the bandits can blackmail or even directly abduct some beautiful women to be their wives!
Xiao Yuanhe started from scratch and became a wealthy businessman with his own efforts, a wealthy man who could rival a country.
He has also experienced these things!
But how is that possible?
This is the official road!
How dare bandits and robbers come here?
Listening to Xiao Qingluo's words, a sinister look flashed in the eyes of the old farmer-looking vendor beside him. Then, he rolled his eyes and said humbly, "Miss, I know you come from a wealthy family, but you can't wrongly accuse me like this! If this gets to the ears of the government, I will be beheaded!"
