Chapter 135
The chance encounter with someone suspected of being a constable did not affect Li Anran's appetite. Although two pieces of steak were delivered to people, this thing was not lacking in the insulated box, and it would not take long to bake two pieces again.
Just as Li Anran continued to enjoy his hearty and delicious lunch, Wei Chi, who had just left, chose a place to stop the horse after running a few miles, then raised a bonfire and started to make food.
If Li Anran is present at this time, it is easy to find that the place he chose is not a casual choice. There is a blockage in front and a retreat behind, and the vision is quite wide. Even if someone wants to lurk near, he will be easily discovered.
After raising the bonfire, he ignored the little maid who was also dressed as a man and looked at the steak drooling expression. Wei Chi took out a silver needle and inserted it carefully. After confirming that there was no problem, he also tested it in the bread and water.
That's not all. In addition to using the silver needle, Wei Chi also made a little water, a little bread and a little steak, and put it in his mouth and tried it. Finally, he confirmed that there was no problem with these things and there was nothing unclean.
Just when Wei Chi was doing these things, the two guys, one big and one small, who were dressed as men, took out the dough cakes and jerky they brought and roasted them by the campfire. At the same time, they also warned the surrounding environment, and placed two horizontal knives one long and one short at a distance.
"Come on, try the difference between the food of other people's nobles." Looking at the actions of the two, Wei Chi nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the steak and bread that had been poked with many fine holes, and finished with a smile. He made a little of it and stuffed it into his mouth.
The best and finely made white bread tastes not comparable to those of the coarse bread. As for the sirloin steak that is stewed thoroughly with residual heat, it is not comparable to the dried meat after being cooked until five or six minutes.
"It's not bad. After all, I'm a wealthy family. Even when I go out, I never tire of eating fine food and fine stew. The taste of this high-quality beef is better than the best dishes in Chunfeng Pavilion in the county. Come and try it." After a bite of the steak, Wei Chi shook his head and smiled.
"Aye (father), who are they?" Wei Yuanxiang, who was dressed in a man, asked after taking the beef and bread handed over by the maid.
"Haha... Didn't you say that, a noble man." Wei Chi, who picked up the gourd and drank it, only felt that the water was very sweet, said with a smile.
"Grand officials? Aye. Are they officials?" Wei Yuanxiang, who was about to eat meat, was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Yes, he is an official, and he is not a minor official. If you guess correctly, he should be a high official who is under the order of the emperor." Wei Chi, who tore off a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth, nodded and said.
"The emperor's destiny is there? Aye, how did you see it?" Wei Yuanxiang asked, who was more curious.
"The sword in that man's hand is a strange shape and cannot be possessed by ordinary people. No, it should be impossible for ordinary officials to possess it. Although he does not wear official uniforms, the materials are extremely particular. The key is that the other party has a token on his waist, an extraordinary token."
"Also, this man is burly and strong, and his words and deeds show a little toughness. You can tell at a glance that he is from a military family. But the smell of blood on this man was a little weaker. If you guessed correctly, this man should be the private guards around those nobles." Wei Chi, who was eating bread and steak, explained.
"Token? Private Guards? Could it be that they are working on the job?" Wei Yuanxiang, who knew the key points, asked.
"I think that's right." Wei Chi nodded and said.
"What's the weird thing around them?" Wei Yuanxiang, who recalled the black monster object, asked.
"I don't know, I think it's very likely that it is a mechanism like a wooden ox and a horse that has been passed down from ancient times." Wei Chi, who was also unpredictable, guessed.
If Li Anran was present at this time, he would be very glad that he did not think that those historical figures were "protein" like those predecessors of time travelers. Think about it, such a person living in the lower level of the official system could see at a glance that the off-road vehicles were probably a mechanism like wooden ox and horses. God knows what those who are in high positions can see.
After Li Anran enjoyed lunch, she had enough rest. She didn't waste any more time. After packing up her things, she drove an off-road vehicle to the nearest county town.
Although the official roads of the Tang Dynasty are not as good as those of modern highways in time and space, they are much better than the previous mountain roads. With the increase in speed, after two quarters of an hour, three familiar figures were found in sight not far away.
When Wei Chi, who heard the sound list coming from behind, subconsciously turned around, saw that the black "wooden ox and flowing horse" was approaching at an extremely fast speed, his face suddenly changed.
"Old Wei, we're meeting again." In order to avoid misunderstandings, Li Anran, who just drove the car closer, pressed the window and reached out to wave and greeted him.
"It turned out to be Li Langjun." When I saw someone sticking out his head from the "wooden ox and flowing horse", with Wei Chi's experience over the past few decades, it was difficult to resist being disobedient.
"Old Wei, are you familiar with this county town?" Li Anran, who had not asked the other party about the matter with this county town, slowed down and said with a smile.
Wei Chi, who barely controlled the horse under him, was not shocked by the "wooden ox and flowing horse" beside him. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I am the constable in Xiangyang City. If Li Langjun wants to go to the county government, I can lead the way. But I don't know if the son is going to the county government..."
While Li Anran felt the hidden vigilance under the other party's calm expression, she also found that the two were behind a distance. The master and servant who were also dressed as men had pressed their hands on the bag on the side of the horse. I guess if he answered wrongly at this time, he might have an attack.
"Look at me, I forgot to identify my identity." Li Anran, who patted her forehead, took advantage of the fact that the speed of the car was lowered a lot, stretched out his hand to Zhao Er beside her and said, "Erlang, token."
After hearing the order, Zhao Er quickly handed the token on his waist to his hand.
"Old Wei, this is my token. I am the observant envoy personally granted by the emperor. However, the purpose of this trip is confidential, and I hope it will not be announced." Li Anran, who handed the token in his hand, said seriously.
As the most famous and most renowned constable in Xiangzhou, Shannan Road, Wei Chi could naturally tell at a glance whether the token in front of him was true or false. He immediately strangled the horse under him and turned over.
"Aye!" Wei Yuanxiang, who was originally intended to be behind for a distance, rushed forward and said.
"Don't panic, nothing is wrong." Wei Chi said, who threw a look at him.
At this time, Li Anran also stopped brakes and thought that the token just now did not dispel the other party's suspicion, so he asked Su Xiaomei to take out the imperial edict that Li Shimin had specially prepared for similar situations, and then opened the car door and jumped down.
"Wei Chi, a constable from Xiangyang County, Shannan Road, met the observation envoy." After seeing someone grabbing the imperial edict and coming down from the "wooden ox and flowing horse", Wei Chi immediately bowed and said.
"It turns out that it is a guard constable. As for my identity, there is an imperial edict here. I wonder if the detective should check it out?" Li Anran smiled as he raised the imperial edict in his hand.
"Please observe the envoy to forgive me. I am not qualified to verify the imperial edict." Wei Chi, who stood up straight, said with a wry smile after holding his fists.
What the implication is that when you arrive at the county government, someone will naturally check it out.
Li Anran understood the meaning of this sentence very well. However, this imperial edict was not fake, so he was naturally not afraid of inspection. Seeing that he had a ready-made guide on the way, he was already feeling a little depressed because of the previous broken road, but he finally got better.
With Wei Chi, a local snake, acting as the "leader", Li Anran's move into the city naturally became much easier. The only thing that was a little unhappy was that he found that his young master was always being watched by those two Xibei goods, especially the older tomboy, Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun who were frequently watched.
Even though I know that it is difficult for the other party to have a relationship with my own young master, it is still inevitable that I will have some thoughts due to the nature of a woman. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
