Chapter 544: Excursion (4)
Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
In the 20th year of Minghua, winter, at the border of East Peak City.
Little All Yu took off her fox-fur cloak and pulled out the heat pouches under her sleeve. She stuffed them all into Tang Yuan’s hand.
“Little Master, you can’t do this. The winter is in full swing. Don’t catch a cold!” Tang Yuan hurriedly wanted to put them back on Little Ah Yu.
“Don’t worry about her. 1 feel hot too.” Wang Wng jumped onto the railing of the restaurant and raised one leg high. He said indifferently, “It doesn’t snow in East Peak City at all during winter. Even the wind feels hot. Not to mention wearing a fox-fur cloak, even ordinary clothes are probably enough.”
They had lived in the northernmost part of Great Chang in the past. Hu Family Vige was on the periphery of the mountains, and each of the four seasons were extreme.
Spring was warm, summer was hot, autumn was breezy, and winter was cold.
The trademark elements of each season were clear. Every year, during this season, Hu Family Vige would suffer heavy snow.
They traveled for more than half a year and arrived at East Peak City. They felt that the winter here was only slightly chilly. It was not cold at all.
Compared to Hu Family Vige and Nanhe Town, it was much warmer.
The border was the border after all. Even arge city at the border was much more bitter than other cities.
Interestingly, they found a Wang Family steamed bun shop here. When they asked, they found out that it was really a franchise of their shop.
They did not know where the main franchise store was, but the recipe came from them.
However, the buns here were even bigger than the ones in the Wang Family Steamed Bun Shop. There were no meat soup dumplings, mini soup dumplings, or mini steamed buns sold here. The people here liked to eat in big mouthfuls and did not like small and delicate things.
“There’s a slight resemnce in taste, but it’s still far inferior to ours. I know how to make it better than them!” Wang Wng said in disdain, but he still ate arge te.
It was not easy for him to find something he wanted to eat, so he naturally had to eat a lot.
The first floor of the restaurant they were in was the shop front, and the second floor was a private eating area.
Little All Yu was ying chess with Qin Huai at a seat near the window. Wang Qng had found a zither and was also ying it excitedly.
The few of them were having fun when they suddenly heard amotion below. It was a group of soldiers walking through the street aggressively.
The soldiers behind were fierce and pulled at the men on the street. They took a few nces at some of the men and then pushed them away. For the others, they grabbed them. “Capture them!”
For a moment, everyone on the street fled.
Those who escaped would be beaten up after being caught.
“What are they doing?!” Little Ah Yu asked as the waiter ran upstairs in a hurry.
The waiter hurriedly closed the window facing the street and pulled Wang Wng down. He wiped his sweat and said, “Guests, don’t watch themotion. Be careful not to be captured by the military. If you do, you’ll not be able to return home!”
“What do you mean?” Wang Wng was interested and hurriedly asked.
The waiter originally did not want to say anything, but Chi Jia pped two taels of silver on the table. The waiter happily epted it and exined.
It turned out that from the year beforest, there had been a rumor circting in East Peak City that there were still remnants of the Eastern Desert Kingdom who were preparing to rebuild the old Eastern Desert Kingdom.
“Even if it was the former Eastern Desert Kingdom, it has nothing to do with our Great Chang, right? Why did theye here to catch spies?” Wang Sang pondered and said, “Back then, when the Eastern Desert Kingdom was destroyed, the Great Chang Kingdom did not take advantage of the situation. We did not even take a share of their territory.”
“Sir, you might not know this, but it’s precisely because of this that the remaining members of the Eastern Desert Kingdom think that our Great Chang bullies the weak and fears the strong. They don’t dare to attack the current Dongxing Kingdom. They deliberately hid in the territory of East Peak City to sow discord between the two countries. Now, when they see those people who look like people from the Eastern Desert Kingdom, they want to capture them and make them part of their army!”
In a huge battle, horses and foot soldiers would be ced at the forefront. They were basically cannon fodder. Very few people could leave the battlefield alive.
“East Peak City and Dongxing Kingdom are so close, and there are intermarriages between the two countries. Isn’t it normal for people to look simr to each other? In that case, won’t many people be captured?” Little All Yu eximed. “Isn’t this just a coincidence? They can’t arrest people at will!”
The waiter hurriedly shushed her. “Little fairy, don’t say anymore. If they hear you, they’ll capture you regardless of whether you look alike!”
“The general guarding the city is actually so muddle-headed. How can he defend a city?” Wang Wng was furious and immediately pped the table. “If he abuses his authority like this, what’s the difference between him and a beast!”
The waiter hurriedly reminded them to lower their voices and hid.
Although they did not look like someone from Dongxing Kingdom, who knew if these military men were reasonable? It was always best to hide first.
Qin Huai ced a piece down and said softly, “Since it’s a matter of East Peak City, and we’re just traveling to study, it’s better not to interfere.”
Wang Wng and Wang Qng looked at each other.
“Fifth Brother, Seventh Brother, don’t cause trouble.” Little Ah Yu didn’t look at them, but it was as if she had eyes on her back.
Wang Wng straightened his neck. “Little Sister Ah Yu, you hate evil the most. Why are you suddenly ignoring it today?”
Along the way, they had helped many people. Some were disced, some had lost their children, some had lost their money, and some had been framed by corrupt officials.
Little All Yu had exerted a lot of effort to help these people.
She was young, but she was smart, especially when she worked with Qin Huai. It made people feel like she had be a sprite.
They could obtain the gratitude of many people every time, and their group could even retreat unscathed.
However, Wang Wng did not know that those things were all missions that Meatbail took the opportunity to give Little Ah Yu. They were chosen from various dangerous missions. It was easy to earn money (points).
Previously, in Hundred Flowers County, Little Ah Yu had obtained a lucky draw opportunity. She had drawn an invulnerable soft armor and given it to Qin Huai as a token of love.
Meatball’s heart ached for a long time. Along the way, it kept finding missions for Little All Yu to do, hoping that All Yu could save up more points.
Now, she already has more than 90,000 points. She was about to obtain 100,000 points.
Just now, Meatbail had told Little Ah Yu that there was also a mission in East Peak City this time, but it did not rmend her to do it.
Ah Yu did not have 100,000 points yet and did not have the ability to revive if she died. If she encountered a tough opponent, she might die here.
Meatball would never allow such a thing to happen.
If Meatbail did not allow it, Little Ah Yu would listen. She did not want to be a rash person.
“Little Sister All Yu, why aren’t you saying anything? Aren’t you going to investigate this matter?”
Little All Yu shook her head decisively and said innocently, “1 can tell at a nce that this matter is not a matter of one city, but of two countries. I’m still too young to care about such a huge matter. Of course, 1 have to let the adults do it.”
She even asked Qin Huai, “Big Brother Ah You, don’t you think so?”
Qin Huai nodded.
Wang Wng:”…”
1 also know that you’re only eight years old now, but do you really not know how smart you are?
If not for the fact that he had seen her actions along the way, he would have been deceived by his sister’s innocent and harmless appearance.
Little All Yu did not agree. Wang Sang and Wang Qng also felt that it was risky, so they stopped thinking about it.
However, when the group left the city, a soldier suddenly pressed down on
Wang Wng and shouted, “There’s one here. He’s very simr.. Arrest him!”
