Chapter 252 Go to Songyuan County Monthly Pass)
This is the good news they heard when a businessman who came to Dongshan County to do business was chatting with others.
After hearing this, their curiosity was immediately aroused, and they wanted to go there and take a look.
Moreover, I heard that Songyuan County is a retreat place for many literati and scholars. It has a pleasant climate and is like spring all year round, making it very suitable for people to live.
Moreover, flowers bloom all year round, making it very popular among poets and poets.
But if they go there, they can't go southeast. Songyuan County is north of Dongshan County, so they can only go north.
Although it is adjacent to Dongshan County, there is no direct road from Dongshan County. The two counties are separated by a canyon. They have to return to the direction of the capital and go around the other side.
In total, this distance is equivalent to almost half a county, which is equivalent to being separated by a county.
They don't know how long it will take to get there, but anyway, what they need most now is time. Since it's like spring there all year round, they can stay there for a while longer.
Jiayin thought for a while, if they took the official road along the way, there would be no need to walk all the way. After all, with Pangpang following them, their rate of turning around would be too high.
Although it's not a hindrance, it does feel a little uncomfortable to be watched by others for everything you do.
So, Jiayin said to Fang Zhiyuan and others: "We are going to take the official road next. Pangpang walks too slowly and is eye-catching. Why not buy a cart and let Nao Nao pull it."
In this way, the luggage can be placed in the car, and Pangpang can sit on it. Just buy a flatbed truck, and I can make the carport myself."
Of course, they must still walk, mainly because there are too many people. If all seven of them sit in the car, how big will the car be?
And it's not worth buying another cart and animals to pull it.
Fang Zhiyuan and others also agreed that the more places they visited, the more luggage they would have, and it would be difficult to carry it with them alone.
Because when they see some local specialties, they can’t help but buy them and want to take them back to show their families.
For example, they bought a few strange iron pots here in Dongshan County. The outside looks like an ordinary iron pot, but the inside is divided into two. One pot can cook two flavors of food at the same time.
They tried it themselves and cooked vegetarian dishes at the same time, which not only saved time but was also very convenient.
So they bought three, one for use on the road, and the other two were going to be taken back to Aunt Xu Hong to use in the shop.
When they go to other places in the future, they will definitely buy some things that they didn’t bring with them at home. In this case, even if Nao Nao has the strength to carry it, it will be too big and too many things can be put away at once.
It's better to buy a donkey cart and Jiayin will install a shed on top of the cart, so that he won't have to worry about getting wet when it rains.
So a few people went to Dongshan County and spent five taels of silver to buy a larger cart.
After leaving the county town, Jiayin asked them to go to the roadside and cut a dozen bamboo trees. Jiayin made the frames and bamboo strips himself, and woven an exquisite carport.
It took two hours to make the carport. After installing it, I tried it. It is quite strong and will not fall off easily.
Then a layer of tarpaulin was put on the roof of the shed to secure it, so that it wouldn't rain in the future.
The bamboo shed made by Jiayin is very exquisite, with patterns woven into it. There are doors at the front and back for entry and exit, and there are small windows on the side.
Jiayin made two bamboo boxes by the way, packed the luggage they carried themselves and Nao Nao's luggage into the boxes, and put them in the car.
As soon as it was done, Pangpang got in. It was so beautiful inside that she couldn't even scream.
A big head was exposed at the window, bleating, and transmitting messages to Nao Nao, "Drive! Drive! Drive! Go quickly, go quickly! Do you know if you hold on tighter, or else I'll whip you..."
It was so angry that it kicked up and down. If there were no luggage in the car, it would have rolled on the ground and overturned the car!
However, it didn't make the fat guy too comfortable. He deliberately found bumpy places and bumped him hard, or he walked in a snake shape and shook him back and forth.
As a result, Pangpang found it very fun, rolling back and forth, left and right, and bleating comfortably...
In the end, the fuss made me tired, so I stopped, and honestly pulled the car forward.
Fang Zhiyuan was afraid that Jiayin would be tired from walking all the time, so he asked her to sit in the car too.
Jiayin disagreed. She was not tired at all. She finally came out and wanted to take a good look at the scenery outside.
Fang Zhiyuan couldn't resist her and had no choice but to let her go.
It took them several days to walk through the dangerous road leading in and out of Dongshan County, just like when they arrived.
When we reached a place less than five miles away from the place where the official's wife was killed, there was a fork in the road. From the fork in the road, heading north, was the official road to Songyuan County.
This road is much wider and flatter. Although it is mostly a mountain road, it is not the steep cliffs like going to Dongshan County. It is a relatively gentle hillside, and the donkey cart travels on it very smoothly.
Not long after they turned onto this gentle road, Jiayin received a message from Xiao Ling.
Xiaoling sent word that Shaoyang had already investigated and found out that the person who had correspondence with them was an adjutant under the command of the Nanyue County Lieutenant.
The adjutant was from Dongshan County, and every month he would send letters home to the King of Dongshan.
It was not certain whether the county lieutenant and Chief Lin were involved, but he found out that Chief Lin helped the adjutant conceal some things.
As for what they were planning, Shao Yang was not sure whether it was rebellion. Although their letters were intercepted, there was no useful content in them. There might be some secret code in them.
It can only be said that the good news happened by chance, and I saw that letter written in such a straightforward manner, and it was about Fang Youwei. If I hadn't said these words and let others read them, they would have thought it was commonplace.
Just complaining about the superior officer.
The power of King Dongshan is quite widespread. I wonder if there are any of his people in other counties.
Come to think of it, if Jiayin hadn't used his spiritual sense to detect this, he might have succeeded in the end. After all, this matter was done very secretly.
However, when he met a dragon like Jiayin, it can only be said that he was unlucky.
Jiayin's spiritual consciousness also detected that the former Queen of Xingmang Kingdom and her party had arrived in the capital.
They stayed outside the city for the time being. After all, they couldn't enter the city with their official certificates. Even when they entered the outer city, they had to be inspected, which was more stringent than in other cities.
Now they can only stay in an inn outside the capital and then think of a solution.
Jiayin could help directly lead the third prince there, but in this way, she would have finished everything.
