Chapter 19 Border Gate
In fact, many modern people think that posthouses in ancient times were dedicated to receiving officials and family members, and ordinary people could only stay in inns. This kind of thinking is completely wrong.

At least what Feng Qiqi saw was that the post house still received common people's guests.The only difference is that no matter what the people in the government enjoy, they only need to sign the bill instead of giving money.

But ordinary people, no matter what you enjoy, you have to give money clearly.Moreover, the price is three times more expensive than the outside.

The only advantage is that if you live in a post house, there will be basically no theft, robbery, murder, or smuggling.Not only can you sleep soundly, but you can also eat delicious meals. Although you spend a little more money, you have finally put 120 of your mind at ease.

The household registration that Feng Qiqi bought with money looks very real, she doesn't know if the poor man in the post house understands it, but fortunately no one makes things difficult for her.

Speaking of which, she is indeed a bold person with a high level of art, and now that she has a wanted warrant, she dares to stay in a post house.

However, the most dangerous place is the safest, poor men probably would not have imagined that Feng Qiqi would throw himself into the trap.

Feng Qiqi fell asleep and didn't pay attention to the other people in the post.Her little white horse was well taken care of, fed with hay, soybeans and water, and let it sleep beautifully in the stable.

At Shen Shi, Feng Qiqi woke up, asked for a bucket of hot water to take a bath, and asked for a meat, a vegetable, and a soup, and ate slowly.She glanced casually out of the window, and saw an inconspicuous black carriage under the window, waiting quietly at the gate of the post house.

The coachman didn't get out of the carriage, he leaned against the carriage frame and dozed off, with a whip hanging down in his hand.The whip is brand new, with a tassel hanging on the tail.The fringe is also black in color, which matches the carriage very well, and it is really beautiful.

Feng Qiqi's eyes flashed, she stared at the tassel, and put down her chopsticks.

When we went out again, it was already dark.

The wind and snow are still the same, and the weather is getting colder in the twelfth lunar month.With such weather, I am afraid that it will be even colder in Yuhui.Feng Qiqi secretly thought about buying some winter clothes, and quietly led her little white horse to the stable.

The little white horse has already woken up and is eating grass comfortably.Feng Qiqi patted its head, and said in a low voice: "You have to hurry up tonight, I will sell you and let you go freely when you cross the border in a few days."

I don't know when, Feng Qiqi also learned to talk to herself, probably because there is no order from the boss in this life, she does not need to open her eyes to perform tasks, she is already lax.

Feng Qiqi snorted, unwilling to admit her laziness, and led the little white horse out of the posthouse.

Outside the post house, it was pitch black, and the black carriage had long since disappeared.Feng Qiqi blinked, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned over and jumped on the little white horse and galloped.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Feng Qiqi spent time on the official road.After running for several days in a row, she always lodged in a post house.Although the money in the baggage was spent a lot, people are very safe.

As for the black carriage, Feng Qiqi had never seen it again, which seemed to dispel her suspicion and vigilance.

But no, although the carriage is ordinary, the whip is top-notch.Especially the black tassel, which uses the most complicated patterns, one can tell that the owner of the carriage is very particular.

Don't pay attention to it, and don't even notice such a small detail as a horsewhip.Ordinary people are considered rich if they can buy a horse, so why would they spend money on tassels to decorate their whips?

And for such an exquisite person to appear in the war-torn Northwest Official Road, it is a bit nondescript.

Either following or fleeing, Feng Qiqi doesn't want to deal with such a person, and must guard against such a person.

But two or three days later, the number of refugees on the Northwest official road gradually increased, and many of them were wealthy.People from Yu Country who can spend money to cross the border and appear here are all prominent figures in Yu Country.

Feng Qiqi pretended that no one knew her, and of course she didn't know anyone else either.

After walking for another two days, the refugees can already be described as a surge, and real transactions are going on along the entire border.A household registration is 1000 taels of silver, as long as you pay the silver, you can get a real household registration.

With this household registration, the people of Yuguo transformed themselves into good citizens of Great Xia.From then on, the wife and children lived a comfortable life with the heat on the kang.

Of course, there are very few people who can pay 1000 taels of silver to each member of the whole family.Most of the people are alone, or with their sons, carrying huge and heavy bags, walking forward step by step.

They accepted the inspection blankly, paid the money, obtained the household registration, and then went on their way.With the household registration of such an ordinary person, at least in Liuhuo City, or other cities in the Great Xia Country, it is absolutely not a problem to find a way out by one's ability.

After staying for three or five years, it is a harmonious multi-person family again, and the past is like a cloud of smoke.

As for their relatives in Yu Country, they have already been turned into the dust of history and completely forgotten.

1000 taels of silver is a bit much, Feng Qiqi's entire net worth is only 400 taels.Standing on the border line between the two countries where there was a lot of people, she could see crowds rushing towards the territory of Great Xia like hills.

However, the Great Xia wolf soldiers were not soft-hearted. Those Yu people who tried to cross the border were beheaded by the wolf soldiers.Otherwise, dozens of wolf soldiers were manipulating a large bed crossbow, shooting a row of feathered arrows at a single command, and a large number of people from Yu Kingdom on the opposite side fell down in response.

The blood was mixed with the twelfth lunar month's wind and snow, blowing on the person's face, there was an indescribable fishy sweetness.Feng Qiqi frowned and looked at the tumbling stream of people, her eyes were clear.

This is war, cruel, cold-blooded, and absolutely inhuman killing.

It was provoked by King Xiaoyang.

Feng Qiqi stared indifferently at the flow of people of all kinds on the border, and finally got off the little white horse, carrying her little bundle, and hid under a high slope.Those who can obtain household registration, pay the money at the checkpoint, and enter through an open fence gate at the bottom of the high slope.

This small gate at this moment is undoubtedly the Heavenly Palace of the Yu Kingdom people.As long as you enter the road leading to the Heavenly Palace, you will have a bright future.

Those who couldn't enter the small gate ran into the wolf soldiers like crazy, probably thinking that the huge crowd would be enough to fight their way out.

They are obviously wrong.

Feng Qiqi looked at those crowds from a distance, recalled the scenes of war in the 21st century, and suddenly felt that as long as there is war in this world, the common people will have no way out.

Because you never know how the victorious Congress will treat you.

As a result, the people of the defeated country either allowed themselves to be fished by mermaids, or rose up to resist.Unfortunately, those who can resist are only those who can pass through the small gate.No matter what you were like in the past, after today, you will mostly disappear from everyone.

It was still early, Feng Qiqi didn't plan to cross the border, she had to wait until dark.

In the weather of the twelfth lunar month, the night comes very early, the sky quickly darkens, and the wind and snow come with the darkness.Fortunately, Feng Qiqi bought winter clothes before coming here, otherwise, he really doesn't know how to survive.

On the other hand, most of the people in the Yu Kingdom had no warm clothes because of their ups and downs.In the darkness, they huddled in the lee, still shivering from the cold.

Fengxue has never shown mercy to the weak, let alone the poor.

With cold eyes, Feng Qiqi led her little white horse slowly towards the checkpoint.

It's funny, I don't know who has such a high IQ, but built a compound restaurant not far from the checkpoint.The resplendent and resplendent restaurant has three entrances inside and outside, and is full of bright red plum blossoms.

The winter snow is white, the red plums are like fire, against the hazy yellow strings of lanterns, it is like a fairyland in a fairyland.

In that fairyland, people flow like a shuttle, maids are like a cloud, and the fragrance of wine, flowers, perfume, and powder is scattered and elegant, which is more tempting than poppies.Tempting the subjugated people on the opposite side.

When Feng Qiqi walked outside the restaurant, it was the time when the lights were feasting and the hustle and bustle was shaking the sky.The silk and bamboo orchestra in the building floats out and passes through people's ears, rippling with an unreal beauty.

Even someone as indifferent as her was actually a little intoxicated.

Obsessed with the freedom of this moment.

Feng Qiqi's eyelids twitched, and suddenly remembered the first day she opened her eyes in Liuhuo City.If she had not been brought to Daxia by King Xiaoyang, she would not know what she is doing now.

With a chill down her spine, she narrowed her eyes.She is a killer, no matter where she is, she will have a good life, why should King Xiaoyang worry about this?

She snorted coldly, led the little white horse, and was about to find someone to sell the horse.When he raised his eyes, he saw a pawn shop hidden in an inconspicuous corner outside the gate of the restaurant.

The words "Qianjin Pawn Shop" were hung on the lintel in a regular manner, and the red paint was bright, obviously it was newly opened not long ago.

Feng Qiqi couldn't help laughing, she unexpectedly met this pawn shop again.

At the beginning, when I bought a white fox fur in the middle of the night, I got 100 gold from Qianjin pawn shop.I don't know if she has dealt with it before, this time she didn't observe for too long, so she led the horse and walked in.

A horse bought for 100 taels of silver is only worth 20 taels if it is pawned to a pawnbroker.

20 taels, just enough to buy a meal at the checkpoint.

Feng Qiqi knew early on that this pawnshop was stingy, so he didn't intend to argue with them, so he took 20 taels of silver and left the door.If the little white horse is traded to a pawn shop, at least it can be exchanged for the stability of the little white horse.

And following her, there is absolutely no security at all.

Feng Qiqi spent 20 taels of silver to buy food, and he ate it in a hurry. He carried his burden and went to the small gate of the checkpoint.On a snowy night, she said she wanted to leave, but no one really could keep her.

In the backyard of the pawnshop, Xia Xi was wearing white fox fur and standing under the plum blossom tree, sniffing the faint fragrance of red plum blossoms, and whispered, "Are you leaving?"

The shopkeeper bowed and said: "Master, this subordinate saw the young lady going to the checkpoint with my own eyes, so I can't be wrong."

Xia Xi raised her head slightly, looked at Yi Ren's direction through the wall, and said with pursed lips: "I don't know if she has worked so hard, will she beat me when she arrives in Yuyin City?"

The shopkeeper didn't dare to answer, but lowered his head tremblingly.

King Xiaoyang broke off a plum blossom, looked carefully at the veins on the bright red petals, and said in a low voice, "Let her go out of the country."

"Here."

On the border of Yu Country, the refugees in the night still wander around the small gate of the checkpoint without giving up.Just now, these people took advantage of the interval between the wolf soldiers changing shifts, and launched a wave of shock.

Unfortunately, it failed.

Feng Qiqi turned her head, looking at the dense crowd at the checkpoint, her bright eyes flickered.Probably because of her luck, she got out of the border checkpoint without any effort.

However, even if she is unlucky, she may be able to escape smoothly.

In this war-torn period, except for those who have lost their minds, who would want to find ways to go to Yu Country.Daxia's defenses were not strict, so Feng Qiqi had an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Feng Qiqi stepped on the solid land of Yu Country, turned her head for the last time to look at the border gate where the contrast between poverty and prosperity was extreme, and rushed to Yuyin City with her burden on her back.

Along the way, there are many refugees, bandits and bandits, and many dangers.Feng Qiqi saw with his own eyes that the refugees fighting for food were trampled to death by wild horses, and he also saw the road full of starvation, lying dead in the withered grass.

Mountain wild dogs are more ferocious than hungry wolves, they bite off your brains or large intestines.

Along the way, Feng Qiqi's calm heart suddenly became strangely turbulent.After all, this is Feng Qiqi's country.In her previous life, she was a killer, and she still did not commit treason and stealing the country. In this life, she has become the daughter of a loyal minister, and she is even more unwilling to commit treason and subjugation.

Now seeing his family and country being destroyed, his subjects being injured, thousands of hectares of fertile land being abandoned, and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers covered in dust, he couldn't help feeling even more displeased with that person.

If there is no King Xiaoyang, she will definitely be a hermit with no worries.It will never be like today, traveling between the two countries, in order to collect the bones of the deceased father, and to find the piano left by the deceased, and end up in an exhausting situation.
