The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 430 Royal Guards
The half-grown boy covered his mouth and smiled at the tall man, smuggling his lips proudly, indicating that he should follow him soon.

The tall man shook his head helplessly at him, then followed him up on his heels.

Just like this, Bai Zhi and Shen Changyan walked in front.

The tall and short people and the half-sized people followed far behind, wandering around on Guodu Street.

They all changed into local clothes, and Bai Zhi told them not to speak if they could, pay more attention to the accent of the locals, and study hard, so as not to be recognized as not locals, and not to get into trouble.

The country is very lively, the shops on both sides are next to each other, and the hawkers are hawking one after another, from daily necessities to vegetables and fruits, etc., although it is not as prosperous as the capital of Daxia Kingdom, it is already very down-to-earth, noisy and compact The smog of the world makes people feel particularly comfortable when walking on the street.

After walking around for a long time, I didn't see any shops that were vacant for rent.

Bai Zhi was also tired from walking, so she discussed with Shen Changyan and went to a teahouse to drink tea and listen to some news.

No matter what era or where you are, wine shops and teahouses are the best sources of information.

A few people found a seat by the window and ordered two pots of tea.

Xiao Er brought tea, and the middle-aged man waved and smiled at him: "It looks busy today, don't call us, I'll make tea."

The waiter was just waiting for it when someone over there asked for tea loudly. He smiled gratefully and said: "Thank you very much, brother. If you need anything, call me anytime."

The middle-aged man stood up and took the teapot to pour tea for Shen Changyan and Bai Zhi first.

Seeing this, the short man also picked up another pot and filled the teacups of the three of them.

"You're fine, kid. You've started to learn to please your wife and son. It's different from before. It seems that you are really ready to follow your wife and son."

Hearing the sour words of the short man, the middle-aged man snorted solemnly: "Brother, you are wrong, how can you say that I am trying to please you? Except that Mrs. Madam is our master, you two elder brothers are older than me. Shouldn't you be here to bring tea and water? Since you are older than me, you can just enjoy my service with peace of mind."

Hearing these words, the tall man gave a thumbs up and praised, "Xiao Daotong, you are quite transparent."

The half-child smiled and said modestly: "I'm young, I should."

They were chattering, while Bai Zhi was holding a teacup, staring at the people passing by on the street seemingly unintentionally, and occasionally took a sip, but her ears were quietly supported, listening to the chats of the tea drinkers in the teahouse.

"Have you heard that in seven days, our Yan State will send troops to avenge the seventh prince and attack the Qin State?"

"What do you think we have a chance of winning this time? After all, Xia Guo is stronger than us. Heck, I mean, their country is big and they have a lot of people, but our generals are also pretty good. I have confidence. "

"Do you know why the commander was temporarily changed?" Someone asked mysteriously.

"Why? Isn't it true that the original deputy commander was young and capable, and the newcomers came to the fore?" Someone asked in surprise.

The man snorted and said, "I'm not afraid of someone being very secretive and talking nonsense. Let me tell you, the deputy commander was brought up temporarily to protect the original old commander and let him be the vanguard to test Xia Guo's strength and die."

"Ah!" Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.

When they recalled it, there was an expression of disbelief on their faces.

"The commander in chief is really pitiful."

"Shh, it's better for us to talk less about these words. If the spies of the monarch hear it, we will all be held accountable."

"That's right, as long as we know it, let's talk about other things. Have you noticed that the number of people in the capital has suddenly increased recently, do you know why?"

Everyone asked: "Why is this?"

"Now that the war is imminent, the territory of our Yan Kingdom is small, and those rich people from cities near the border have cashed in and brought money to the capital. After all, this is the place where the monarch lives. Even if it is defeated, the Great Xia Kingdom will not be able to attack. , even if they attack, they will be slaves to the subjugated country anyway, because there is no safe place in the country of Yan." The man explained to everyone.

Then everyone suddenly sighed: "Yeah, no wonder even shops in remote areas that no one wanted before are sold at high prices. It turns out that merchants and dignitaries from all over the country have entered the capital."

When Bai Zhi heard this, she finally understood why the shop was not easy to rent.

This was their opportunity. Renting a shop wouldn't be too conspicuous, just say they were merchants from other cities.

However, since it is difficult to rent a store, we need to find a way. It depends on people.

After staying in the teahouse for about three quarters of an hour, Bai Zhi and the others heard a lot of news and had a general understanding of the capital.

Coming out of the teahouse, Bai Zhi looked sideways at Shen Changyan and said, "Husband, we have to find a way to rent a shop close to the imperial court and make it a medical clinic, so that things will be easier in the future."

Upon hearing this, Shen Changyan understood, and asked with pursed lips: "Could it be that the lady wants to hit the imperial court?"

Bai Zhi nodded appreciatively: "The one who knows me is also the husband. If you want to find out what we are investigating as soon as possible, you must be able to enter the imperial court, otherwise it will be difficult for the people to find out. The Yan Kingdom is different from our Xia Kingdom. They are adult princes. It also lives in the imperial court."

Shen Changyan nodded: "Madam, just make arrangements."

"Let's go to the imperial court and have a look."

At Bai Zhi's suggestion, everyone walked towards the imperial court together.

Unexpectedly, a group of guards suddenly appeared on the street, each holding a weapon and looking menacing.

Seeing this, people on the street ran and hid.

The shops were also quickly closed.

Bai Zhi and the others were stunned, but they couldn't dodge in time, and were surrounded by the guards.

"Who are you? Why didn't you give way when you saw the Royal Guards? Could it be that you are enemy spies?"

Bai Zhi heard the angry shout from the leader of the guards, and hurriedly replied in a respectful voice in the Yan country dialect: "General, we are all from the Yan country. If we were really spies from the enemy country, we would have run away long ago. They have a mission, how could that be possible?" Self-defeating? We are businessmen from border towns, rich people have come to the capital, so we have followed, and we just entered the city today."

Hearing these words, the short man was so surprised that he almost blurted out.

Madam is really amazing, she can speak Yan Guo dialect, she learned it too fast.

The guard leader glanced at them coldly, and saw that the short man had a different expression and pointed his sword at his chest.

"You have something to say? I think you seem to have something to say."

The short man was so frightened that he was almost stabbed by the sword. He took a step back subconsciously, busy imitating Bai Zhi's appearance, and said vaguely in the crappy Yan dialect: "I, I, stuttering. I heard it a long time ago. The general will be brave and fruitful..."

Before he finished speaking, the guard leader became impatient and kicked him to the ground.
