Small tricks

Author: Rongtu

Outside the sedan curtain, the city gate with the words "Fengcheng" engraved on it gradually moved away, and Xiao Hanyue and Hehua couldn't help but feel uneasy in their eyes.

Although Xiao Jingmo didn't poke his head, he knew that they had left Fengcheng and were heading further and further towards an unfamiliar land.

Su Qingtian looked at the nervousness of the three of them and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Relax."

As she said that, the girl took out a few wrapped peach blossom cakes from her sleeves and handed them to Hehua, "I am returning to the capital this time under the emperor's order. I am an extremely valuable marriage princess. This group of people dare not

What’s really harmful to us.”

"It's just that with their unflattering methods, I'm afraid they will find opportunities to humiliate them along the way."

Hehua lowered her head and opened the package. She handed the peach blossom cakes to her masters and listened quietly to the young lady's analysis.

"A daughter trained by Su Zheng will probably have endless tricks in private."

Xiao Hanyue snorted coldly.

He once heard his third brother mention that Xiao Qingtian's life in the Su family was not good before she came home. The third brother tried to take her away many times but failed.

With such a father, Su Lingxian might be in constant trouble with them.

"It's no problem." Su Qingtian took a bite of the pastry and said with a smile, "If you really want to take action, you have to stay far away from Fengcheng, or even leave the boundaries of Linxian County. The borders are guarded by the Xiao Jiajun. That arrogant person

The prince will not be so stupid."

In fact, this was one of the reasons why King Jin always wanted to completely destroy the Xiao family through Su Zheng. He knew that he could not control General Xiao and the Xiao family army at all, so he wanted to use other means to make the Xiao family disappear.

As the son of King Jin, Gu Mingxuan has known the importance of Xiao Jiajun to the Mo Kingdom since he was a child, and he has also been afraid of it.

Listening to Xiao Qingtian's analysis, Xiao Hanyue couldn't help but nod. He was really concerned but confused, forgetting that the border was his own territory.

Thinking of all the humiliations the Xiao family had endured back then, he wouldn't mind the trouble on the road now. It was just a pain to his niece and the child Jing Mo.

Seeing that the masters were all relaxing under the comfort of the young lady, Hehua turned around and opened the curtain, moved to sit next to Nie Chen, and handed him the peach blossom cake in her hand.

The man looked down and took a bite of it very naturally.

Well, this peach blossom cake is indeed extremely sweet.

No wonder women like it.

He didn't realize that the two of them were acting too intimately, and he still patrolled the surrounding mountains and forests cautiously.

Lotus withdrew his hand, lowered his head and took a small bite of the pastry, with a gentle smile on his face.

The journey was as peaceful as Su Qingtian expected, but the non-stop rush made everyone's backs sore and their legs swollen and numb.

When the sky was about to darken, five vehicles also started speeding on the official road, as if they were rushing to reach their destination before the night completely darkened.

Half an hour later, Hehua finally noticed that the carriage beneath her slowly slowed down and finally stopped.

She grew up in Fengcheng, and the furthest she went was to Linxian County to do errands for her master. This was the first time she traveled in a carriage with such intensity.

Fortunately, I didn't eat much for breakfast, otherwise I would have vomited it all.

After Su Qingtian and others got off the bus, they saw clearly that the station in front of them had already left the boundary of Linxian County.

The guards around were busy arranging the carriages and horses to the backyard of the inn. After unloading the carriages, they drove the horses to the stables and asked the inn soldiers to feed them the best horse feed.

The most gorgeous car was the last one to slowly open the curtain. Gu Mingxuan got out of the car gracefully and neatly, turned around and helped Su Lingxian with a distressed look on his face.

It wasn't until the woman leaned against his arms, as soft as a bone, that Gu Mingxuan turned his attention to Su Qingtian and his group as if giving alms.

"Miss Su." The man's voice was cold and slightly disgusted, "We will stay here for one night and continue our journey tomorrow."

After saying that, he took Su Lingxian to the second floor of the inn.

Su Qingtian naturally saw Su Lingxian's gloating expression and the pride in his eyes.

Tsk, are you ready to start?

This inn is a relatively large one on the way from the border to the capital. It is usually used as a place for officials passing by to take a break or for soldiers to change their horses to convey military information. Therefore, the accommodation in the inn itself is also divided into many levels according to the quality of the visitors.

The rooms and food that the royal family lives in are the best. After the royal family, there are first-rank officials, followed by second-rank and third-rank officials, then fourth-rank and fifth-rank officials, followed by sixth-rank officials and below, and the last rank is

They are civilians.

Gu Mingxuan is the eldest son and Gu Qiuyang is the prince, so naturally they live in the best room.

Su Lingxian came with them, so naturally Zhanguang also stayed in the best room.

Without even bothering to guess, Su Qingtian knew that Su Lingxian definitely wanted to use the inn classification rules to humiliate their family.

After all, except for my grandfather, no one else in the Xiao family currently holds any official position. My eldest uncle still had the title of Major General before he fell ill. He was cut off less than half a year after he fell into coma, so now he is naturally a commoner.

The night wind gradually picked up, and the family waited at the entrance of the inn for a quarter of an hour before they saw a man wearing a guard uniform coming.

"I'm Lin Mu." The man greeted politely, clasping his fists, "The prince has asked me to arrange accommodation and food for you."

"Inns are divided into different levels." Lin Mu said directly, regardless of whether they knew it or not, "Our guards are only in the ninth rank and can only sleep in Datongbu. However, the few of them are commoners and have to sleep in the firewood shed tonight."

"Everyone, come with me."

Xiao Jingmo wrapped the girl in his big cloak and held the girl in his arms. When Lin Mu turned around, he called his uncle and others to go to the woodshed together.

In fact, Xiao Jingmo's brows furrowed when he heard the word "woodhouse". He was thinking whether the clothes he brought could make a comfortable bed for the girl.

Xiao Hanyue, who was walking at the end, looked extremely ugly. Because his niece didn't refute, he couldn't bear to say anything.

He knew that the inns were divided into different levels, but the treatment was not so bad.

Datongbu is generally used by officials, grooms and entourages. The rooms for ninth-grade officials live in rooms with four people per room, and there are four separate small beds in the room.

Gu Mingxuan made this arrangement not just to bully them, but also to tease the little girl in order to satisfy Su Lingxian's little whims.

These two people have really dark hearts.

Lin Mu pushed open the woodshed door, and the smell of damp wood and heavy dust hit his face.

There are piles of wood that have been stored for many years for emergency use, especially in winter. On weekdays, farmers at the post station specially deliver firewood to your door.

So after the woodshed was filled with wood, it was never opened again.
