The morning sun shone on the official road, but it did not bring any warmth. On the contrary, it made it even colder.
"Royal brother, Zhen has already prepared the troops. I've sent out a few qualified imperial physicians from the Grand Hospital." As for the supplies, you can go first. I'll send someone to deliver them in a few days. " The emperor looked down at Yu Ling Jing condescendingly.
"Your subject obeys the decree." Yu Ling Jing cupped his hands towards the Emperor.
With a turn of his body, his black hair fluttering in the wind, Yu Ling Jing jumped onto his horse. His slender figure and handsome face merged with the mountains and rivers in the distance to form a painting of ink. Those who were bold and unrestrained were about to shout out. Unfortunately, there were no girls here. There was only a high and mighty emperor, a bunch of obedient subordinates, and a bunch of vile people hiding in a certain corner.
"Uncle Huang, have a pleasant journey!" Imperial Wintry stood on the distant city gate tower, a mocking and sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, and his pair of charming eyes revealed even more ferociousness and viciousness. In his eyes, Yu Ling Jing was as insignificant as an ant. However, he didn't know that this was just an illusion. Some people were as unfathomable as the sea.
"My lord, there is a tea shop in front. Let's take a break there!" Someone wiped the sweat from his forehead and suggested.
"Alright." Yu Lingjing glanced at the imperial physicians who were too weak to handle the situation, took a look at the simple tea shop, and nodded.
The simple, crude banner with the word 'tea shop' on it fluttered slightly in the air.
Yu Lingjing was sitting upright in front of a short table. The simple tools on the table did not make him look lonely. Instead, it made him seem even more extraordinary. The waiter of the tea shop was actually just the boss. Seeing this group of people, although their clothes weren't extravagant, their aura and aura could easily match their identity, they were either rich or noble. It had been a long time since the owner of this teahouse had seen so many customers, but now that he realized they were important people, he almost rushed up to hug them.
Everyone drank their tea in big gulps. Honestly speaking, the tea was extremely bitter. However, they were also thirsty, so they were not as picky. Only Yu Lingjing remained on the first floor, sipping slowly. It was as if he was enjoying himself.
He goes out to war all year round. He had been through a lot of hardships, many times he had not been able to drink any of the water. Sometimes, he had even drunk dirty, muddy water in order to live, and this bitter tea was no different from those precious tea leaves in the palace.
"Dear guests, the restaurant is rather simple and crude. This is the best tea in the restaurant, I hope you don't mind." The owner of the tea shop smiled obsequiously. However, no one answered him. The owner of the tea shop didn't mind and continued to talk to himself. Where are you guys from? "
Silence reigned in the tea shop.
"Beijing." One of the coachmen didn't want to embarrass the owner, so he kindly replied. When the owner of the teahouse saw that someone had answered him, he immediately raised his head with a smile towards the source of the voice. However, the moment he saw that the other party had no temperament whatsoever other than that of a normal person, his face immediately fell. Seeing the boss change his expression so quickly, the coachman couldn't help but inwardly despise him for looking down on others.
The owner of the tea shop turned around and used his small eyes to size up the crowd. When he saw Yu Lingjing calmly drinking tea, his eyes flashed. It seemed like this person was a noble. He was just about to get close to her.
"Sir ~"
"Boss, please serve us two pots of tea." A man with a full beard walked in and slapped the table heavily with his broadsword. His eyes were filled with arrogance. Seeing such an evil person, the boss couldn't care less about fawning over Yu Lingjing. He turned around and smiled at the big bearded man with a fake smile. " Customer, can you drink two pots of tea by yourself? "
"If I said two pots, then two pots. Why the f * ck are you spouting so much nonsense?" The bearded big fellow's temper was obviously very irritable.
"I don't want to waste your silver." The boss immediately changed his tone, appearing somewhat submissive.
"Really? Then don't worry, my stomach is too big. I can put it on." When the bearded man heard this, he suddenly laughed out loud. The tea shop owner turned around upon hearing this. This strange person appeared year in and year out, so why was there so many of them here?
When someone on Yu Ling Jing's side heard the bearded man's words, they couldn't help but burst out laughing. He nervously looked at the silent Yu Ling Jing, not really reacting. He didn't know that when someone saw his little daughter-in-law's appearance, they couldn't help but spit out the tea in their mouths and then burst out laughing in a baffled manner. Along the way, because they had a master who didn't like liveliness, the group of them walked in quite a suppressed manner. After laughing, everyone came to their senses, and looked at Yu Lingjing in unison. Seeing that the other side was still as aloof and indifferent as before, they felt that although Yu Lingjing was aloof, his opponents were not too harsh on him, at least not forcing others to match his preferences.
"Hehehe." A wave of strange laughter rang out, causing everyone to be stunned once again. The owner of the laugh scratched his head in embarrassment. I see that you guys are quite happy, so you all just laughed along. "Haha."
Everyone felt their mouth twitch. They never thought that this person would be so interesting.
"Brothers, are you guys from the caravan or what? Where are you going?" The bearded man suddenly became serious.
"What are you doing learning from that shop?" Someone shouted back.
"How did I learn from that shop?" The bearded man was confused.
"Why are you blabbering so much?" The man continued. The shop owner, who was busying himself at the counter, was speechless. Why did this person always like others to tease him?
"Isn't this the same as asking questions when I see you guys again? I've always wanted to get to know more people from Beijing."
Yu Lingjing raised his head to look at the bearded man, and his eyes darkened. When the shop owner asked them where they had come from, the bearded man was no longer by their side. There were many forks in the road. This bearded man was so sure that they were from the capital. It seemed that this person was a bit rough, but in reality, he wasn't simple. However, he wasn't that smart. As he thought of this, a cold smile appeared on Yu Lingjing's face.
"Let's go." Yu Lingjing stood up and said in an indifferent tone. The rest of the entourage also immediately took up their positions. No one replied to the bearded man's words.
"The shop owner has paid the bill." the coachman shouted. The shop owner hurriedly ran over. His eyes lit up when he saw the fine money bag made by the driver, and he laughed darkly.
The bearded man sat on the spot and silently stared at the cup, but in reality, he was constantly paying attention to the movements of Yu Lingjing and the others. However, this person was using his ears. He picked up the knife from the table and walked out.
"Hey, why do you want to leave before settling the bill?" Seeing this, the shop owner hurriedly shouted. The bearded man acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued to walk forward.
"Bullshit." There were very few people around, almost all of them coming and going. It was not as if this shop owner had never met an overlord before. Every time, he would secretly curse in his heart. After all, a person with a knife was not someone he could afford to offend. The bearded man's ears twitched and he raised his foot to kick backwards. A stone accurately hit a table in the tea shop. Kacha! The table instantly broke into pieces.
"I'll let you off today." The bearded man said loudly. The shop owner was shocked. He felt that he was really unlucky. He hurriedly ran to the door and closed it behind him. Although this person looked rough at the start, he also seemed honest when he spoke. Why did the group of people become fiendish once they left? What a strange person.
Yu Ling Jing rode his horse and sped along in front of the group. As for the group of old doctors, they were naturally sitting in the carriage, dozing off.
"Faster." Yu Ling Jing's tone was filled with orders that could not be disobeyed. It had to be said that he was quite anxious right now. The citizens were still suffering, but he could not be sure when he would arrive. The appearance of the bearded man just now told him that this journey would not be a peaceful one.
The bearded man took his saber and traversed through the forest. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at an extremely secluded location. A group of people dressed in common clothes respectfully kneeled in front of him. He seemed to be training in an orderly manner. The bearded man, Yang Shou, touched his lower jaw and tore off a piece of the human skin mask, revealing the long scar on his face.
The sun was hanging in the west, and it looked like it was on the verge of collapsing. The sunlight shining on the path added a hint of warmth to the tense atmosphere. Yu Ling Jing and his horse kept advancing. The sky was getting darker, and the birds were no longer chirping by the side of the road. Quite a few bugs were beginning to move, and nature seemed to not allow the world to have a moment of peace. At this moment, the sun had already set halfway down the mountain. Half was set aside, reflecting the clouds on the horizon. It continued to illuminate the world.
When they reached a corner, Yu Ling Jing and his team suddenly stopped at a fork in the road. They weren't too familiar with the road, and didn't know where to start for the moment. "One of Yu Lingjing's underlings hurriedly asked as a man dressed as a woodcutter approached.
"Walk to the right. There will be a village not too far away. Everyone can rest there for the night." The woodcutter replied enthusiastically. It's getting dark. Why is it that a woodcutter is walking in the opposite direction? There weren't any villages on the other side of the road. Yu Ling Jing was thinking this, but his face remained expressionless. He sat on the horse and glanced at the axman. He then said in an indifferent tone, "Thank you." He then rode the horse in that direction. Then let it be. If he could get rid of one trouble as soon as possible, then that would be one less problem.
