Chapter 156 Green Bamboo Ape Spring Wine
As soon as it dawned, Xiao Ting woke up Xing'er, took the sleepy little girl and left the palace alone, heading towards the Kingdom of Yan.
After this night, Xiao Ting really had no intention of accepting King Chu Sheng's farewell ceremony, so after leaving a note for Chu Yao, he took Xing'er and quietly set off on the road.
Along the way, Xing'er yawned and looked listless; Xiao Ting was also silent, wondering what he was thinking.
Yan State is located in the south of Cangjie, far away from the imperial city of Chu State. If you travel normally, it will take at least half a month.
After walking out of the imperial city, about an hour later, Xing'er finally woke up and stopped yawning. Xiao Ting asked with a smile, "Do you want to eat something before leaving?"
With that said, he took out some pastries from the package and handed them to Xing'er. The two of them chatted while eating and slowly moved forward.
Xiao Ting asked in his heart: "Susuo, when we go to Yan State, how are we going to find the so-called most poisonous leaves and the most nourishing flowers? We can't just try one by one like Shennong tasted the herbs, right?"
There was a hint of joking in Suosuo's voice: "I thought it would take you a few days to recover."
Xiao Ting smiled faintly and said: "There is no need to take it easy. I am just a passerby. There is definitely nothing going on between me and Chu Yao, so why should I think about it and provoke her?"
Suosuo curled his lips and said, "What you say means what you say!"
Xiao Ting didn't want to explain more on this matter, so he changed the topic and said: "Let's talk about serious matters! How should I find the most poisonous leaves and the most nourishing flowers? I have been in the Chu State's library these two days.
I have read a lot of medical books and ancient books, but there is no definite conclusion on these two things. Otherwise, the words are vague, what should I do?"
Suosuo thought for a while and replied: "It just so happens that you are going to Yan State as an envoy of Chu State. Logically speaking, Yan State will host a banquet to receive you. You can ask King Yan at the banquet
, or the imperial physician of Yan State and Dr. Taichang. After all, Yan State is the capital of medicine in the Cang Realm, maybe they will know information about this."
Xiao Ting felt that what Suosuo said made sense, so he nodded and agreed.
While walking and stopping with Xing'er, Xiao Ting was not in a hurry. He took a map of Cangjie and based on the path on the map, he found a route with towns all along the way.
The main reason is that he is afraid that Xing'er will not be used to sleeping in the wilderness all the time. In addition, he was frightened by the Emperor Ji Realm monk sent by Jiang Taixu before, so he tried to face as many people as possible along the way.
It can also confuse the audience and make him feel more secure.
One day later, Yunluo City was located two hundred miles away from the Imperial City of Chu State.
Xiao Ting and Xing'er were walking in the busiest street. Xing'er happily looked at the vendors on both sides, asking Xiao Ting to buy him this or that from time to time. Xiao Ting smiled, and he was always happy with Xing'er's request.
Refuse.
"Brother Ting, do you think this hairpin looks good?" Xing'er held up a purple hairpin in her little hand and asked Xiao Ting with a smile.
Xiao Ting looked at it and smiled: "It looks good! It suits Xing'er very well. Boss, how much does this hairpin cost?"
The boss said with a bright smile: "Just one ingot of silver."
Xiao Ting hurriedly took out a small gold ingot from his pocket, and suddenly saw an exquisite red Bu Yao on the stall. His heart moved and he said: "Boss, I want this Bu Yao too."
After that, he handed over the silver, grabbed the walking stick, and left with Xing'er.
Looking at Xing'er who was a little tired, Xiao Ting thought for a while and took Xing'er to find an inn to stay. After dinner, the two of them rested separately.
With a thought, Xiao Ting took himself into the Soul Locking Palace.
Inside the locked bedroom.
Suosuo looked at Xiao Ting boredly and said, "How long will it take to get to Yan Kingdom?"
Xiao Ting smiled and said, "It's early. We have only walked two hundred miles, and it will take at least half a month. We have to cross the entire Chu State, and then we can enter the Yan State south of the border.
.”
Suosuo nodded and said, "Okay. Don't let your guard down along the way. Jiang Taixu will probably send someone to kill you."
Xiao Ting nodded and wanted to say something, but hesitated a little.
Suosuo saw this and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Ting smiled and said, "It's nothing. Just when I was buying a hairpin for Xing'er, I saw a ruby agate Bu Yao and thought it suited you very well, so I bought it."
With that said, he took out a Bu Yao from his arms and handed it to Suosuo.
Suosuo was a little dazed, looking at Xiao Ting with strange eyes, but said nothing.
Xiao Ting looked a little embarrassed when Lock Suo looked at him. He coughed lightly and said, "If you don't like it, forget it."
Saying that, he was about to put it away.
"Put it on for me!" Suosuo suddenly said.
"What?" Xiao Ting asked doubtfully.
"I bought everything, I said help me put it on!" Suosuo glared and repeated.
"Oh oh." Xiao Ting finally heard it clearly, and hurriedly walked to Suosuo, and carefully inserted the step into her bun.
The bright red agate steps and Suo Suo's fire-fighting red dress look particularly appropriate.
Xiao Ting took a step back, looked at Suosuo, and sighed sincerely: "It's so beautiful!"
Hearing this, Suosuo raised the corners of his mouth slightly and asked, "Are you talking about Bu Yao or me, the queen?"
Xiao Ting chuckled and said: "Of course I said... Bu Yao! Haha!"
Suosuo said angrily: "Go, go, go!"
Xiao Ting smiled and disappeared into the Soul Locking Hall.
After Xiao Ting left, Suosuo silently stroked the ruby agate on her bun and shook it, not knowing what she was thinking.
The next morning, after breakfast, Xiao Ting and Xing'er were about to drive on again when they heard the sound of a group of carriages and horses behind them. Xiao Ting didn't pay attention and was about to continue on his way, but he heard a voice shouting to stop him.
he.
"Brother Tingxiao, please stay!"
Xiao Ting couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, because he recognized that the owner of the voice was none other than the deputy general of the Imperial City Army, Ning Kai, who had a close relationship with him.
It was Jiang Guoxizuo who he led him to destroy in the first place.
Ning Kai led a small team of carriages and horses and rushed to Xiao Ting. Ning Kai got off his horse, cupped his fists and saluted, "Ning Kai has seen the envoy!"
Xiao Ting was startled when he heard this: "What sir?"
Ning Kai smiled and said: "Brother Tingxiao, you are the envoy personally appointed by our lord, the King of Chu. You are sent to Yan State to relieve the king's worries. However, as a third-rank Yuan general, the last general is just the deputy general of the imperial city army and a fourth-rank official."
, of course you have to bow when you see an adult."
Xiao Ting was dumbfounded. Then he did not elaborate on the details and asked, "Vice General Ning, what are you doing?"
Ning Kai replied: "Originally, the King of Chu planned to see off the envoy in person, but unexpectedly, he quietly left the city. Therefore, the King of Chu ordered the general to lead a team of troops to chase the envoy at starry night and protect his safety along the way. Sir, please
