Chapter 19 Liangcheng

The Chu State occupied the north and was bitter and cold all year round. It took five months to come here in winter. Therefore, although the Chu State's territory was vast and the Chu State's people were all tall and strong, the number was far less than that of the neighboring Liang State.

Because of its unique geographical conditions, Liang State has strong national strength and a large population, making it the most powerful country among the seven countries.

"But fortunately, the kings of Liang State are not far from our capital of Chu State." Jun Jiuning ate melon seeds and lifted the curtains of the car to look at the crowds of people on the streets of Liang State. "Otherwise, it would have been more than half a month for us to go back and forth this time."

After saying that, she sighed quietly: In modern times, it takes half a day to drive a car or take a train, but now they have to take three days to ride a carriage.

Another day I miss modern technology.

Qiuyue sat aside and rubbed Jun Jiu's legs, stared at Jun Jiu Ning with a bright gaze, and worshiped: "The princess has a wide range of knowledge. I was worried about whether I would have to walk on the wild road along the way and whether I would encounter bandits. I didn't expect it to be very smooth along the way."

The Jun Jiuning, who has been used to Qiu Yue's flattery these days, was so comfortable that she was coaxed by her words, and the corners of her mouth bent slightly.

When she decided to come to Liang State, she searched a lot of documents overnight and knew that the official roads from the capital to Liang City had been repaired and matured. Moreover, these official roads were related to the diplomatic relations and trade between the two countries, that is, the face of Chu and Liang State, so the government attached great importance to the rectification of bandits and road thieves. It is not too safe to walk the official roads now.

This is also the confidence of Jun Jiuning to go to Liang State with only Qiuyue.

Shortly after the carriage entered the inner city, it was suddenly forced to stop by a team of officers and soldiers. Jun Jiuning was about to lift the curtain to see the situation outside, but heard a rough shout from outside the car: "Who is in this car? Come down and take the inspection."

The person who came was not good? Jun Jiuning's eyes turned cold and his palms immediately stroked the dagger hidden around his waist.

The coachman explained to the officers and soldiers in a kind voice: "June, we came from the countryside. The carriage is our lady. If you want to search, I'm afraid this... is not very convenient."

The officers and soldiers of Liang State were impatient to deal with him, so they reached out and stretched out their big hands, rudely grabbed the coachman's collar, trying to pull him out of the carriage and search the carriage himself after they were pulled out.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jun Jiuning spoke immediately: "Mr. outside, can you give the little woman some time to tidy up her appearance? We are far away and we have to rest in the car. I don't want to lose my appearance because of this. I hope Jun. Let's put on a cloak."

To be honest, Jun Jiuning knew that his voice was not sweet and gentle, but a little cold. Logically speaking, such a voice would not make people feel close, but because of the fatigue of the journey, his slightly hoarse voice spoke these words with a requesting tone, which instead showed a sense of weakness and softness, which was quite pleasant.

No man could refuse such a request? The officers and soldiers of Liang State heard that there was indeed a young lady in the car. They couldn't help but sigh and reluctantly compromised, "Okay, move quickly."

Jun Jiuning breathed a sigh of relief, let Qiuyue put on a thick cloak, and used a facial towel to cover half of her face. Then she lifted the curtain and walked out of the car.

When the officers and soldiers saw that they covered their faces, they suddenly became confused: "It's in broad daylight, why are you covering your faces when you go out?"

Jun Jiuning couldn't help but grind his teeth: Why are the people of Liang so nitpicking? There are so many things to do.

"Mr. Jun, our lady is not yet married, so it is not advisable to show up outside. This time I entered Liangcheng just to enjoy the fragrance in the temple, so I don't want to make a statement." Qiuyue had been in the palace for a long time and was able to deal with this kind of human nature. She took out a small silver child from her waist and stuffed it into the hands of the leading officers and soldiers. "It's a cold day, please have a hot tea for the army."

After the officers and soldiers collected the money, their eyebrows and eyes immediately stretched out, and their attitude made a big turn: "So that's it. I wonder which temple the girl is going to burn incense?"

Qiuyue said: "I heard that the Bodhisattvas in Wuyin Temple are the most effective. I wonder if Jun Ye knows how to get to Wuyin Temple?"

When he heard that Jun Jiuning and his party were going to Wuyin Temple, the smile on the corner of the officers and soldiers who collected the money was a little lighter, and they said a little helpless: "Although this Wuyin Temple is effective, it is not something that everyone can worship. Wuyin Temple only receives seven pilgrims every day, and those who enter will have to come out immediately. Maybe, there is no end to this wish."

He turned his head and sincerely advised Jun Jiuning: "Miss, I think you should choose some places. This Wuyin Temple is a place where the families of nobles in Liangcheng can only enter. If you go there, you will probably not be able to worship. Why not go to Baiquan Temple, which is quite effective and has a strong incense."

Jun Jiuning didn't expect that Wuyin Temple would have such rules. After being surprised, he shook his head: "Thank you, Jun Ye, reminded me, but I came here this time to worship Buddha at Wuyin Temple. If I change my mind halfway and change the temple, I will be dissatisfied and the Buddha will blame me."

The joke is that she came for the Empty Divine Doctor. Even if she couldn't get in, she had to try her best to get in.

Seeing that the Liang State officers and soldiers could not persuade him, they had to give up. They kindly pointed the direction for Jun Jiuning and left.

Jun Jiuning turned around and was about to get on the carriage, but a strange feeling suddenly appeared in her heart, as if something was attracting her sight and making her look in a certain direction uncontrollably.

Jun Jiu rubbed his eyes, but there was only a bun shop in that direction. There was a bustling crowd in front of him waiting to buy buns. As the cage was lifted up, the steaming white mist was wandering and disappearing in the gap between people.

Seeing her dazed, Qiuyue asked softly: "What's wrong, princess?"

She followed Jun Jiuning's gaze and suddenly realized: "Princess is you hungry? I'll go buy buns right away! Princess, what stuffing do you want to eat?"

Jun Jiuning quickly grabbed her, stuffed her into the carriage, and stepped on her, "I don't want to eat, let's go."

"Bang!" The coachman raised his whip high and landed on the horse's back. The carriage accelerated and disappeared at the end of Liangcheng Street.

My subordinates came to Mu Yun with the steaming steaming buns that had just come out of the pot and found that his master was frowning and staring at a clearing place.

"Sir, sir?"

Mu Yun came to his senses after two seconds, looked at the buns he was holding and chuckled: "I said I'm not hungry."

My subordinate scratched his head with his free hand, "But my subordinate kept looking at the direction of the bun shop and thought you wanted to eat it, so he went to buy it."

Mu Yun was silent and took another look at the direction of the bun shop.

He just suddenly felt a line of sight in that direction, as if it was coming towards him, but when he focused on looking for it, the feeling was fleeting again and he could not capture anything.

Just like the white mist that just drifted away.
