The courier stations were located on both sides of the official road. There were a few simple houses with a large courtyard in front. There were only the most important water sources and food inside.
Fortunately, the supplies for these courier stations were provided by the imperial court. As for speculation and profiteering, it was not that common at the moment. Therefore, ordinary businessmen would choose to replenish their supplies in the courier stations.
Although the conditions of the courier station were simple, it was large enough.
Master Guo and the others were obviously regular customers here. There was no waiter in the inn, only a forty-year-old courier station chief.
By the time Lin Mengya and the others came in, the hall of the courier station was already full of people.
Fortunately, Zhao Fei and Wen Shi had already occupied a table. When they saw Lin Mengya, they showed a simple and honest smile and invited them to sit.
Although Wen Shi was not a talkative person, he was very quick-witted. According to Qiu Yu, if they came to unfamiliar places, it was this big brother who would go to find out about the surrounding environment. It could be said that he was a meticulous person who kept a low profile.
Zhao Fei was carefree and liked to talk and laugh. He followed Master Guo and helped to take care of the caravan so that no one would fall behind.
Lin Mengya's small horse carriage was deliberately arranged in the middle by him. In other words, he wanted to protect her.
Lin Mengya knew how to be grateful for these favors.
Qiu Yu and the two of them were old friends, so they did not feel distant.
Baishao had specially prepared some spiced beef, duck and chicken. Yuan San served them attentively, chatting and laughing, which helped to relieve the depression on the way.
"Little Brother Yuan, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless at such a young age. I, Zhao Fei, really admire you. "
Lin Mengya was a girl, so when she dressed up as a man, she naturally looked like a girl.
Most of these businessmen were uncouth people, and some of them had a mocking attitude towards her.
However, the scene where she dealt with the scum in a ruthless manner naturally made her image much better.
She guessed that no one would dare to make trouble for her along the way.
"Brother Zhang, please excuse me. As a man, if I swallow my anger when someone offends my wife, wouldn't I be a green-shelled bastard?"
Most of them would not drink when they were out.
Even if it was wine, it was just a taste. Now, there was meat but no wine, so he could only use it as a joke.
Lin Mengya's words were humorous. Other than Zhao Fei, who burst out laughing, Wen Shi also broke into a rare smile.
The topic became more and more heated, and their table became the focal point of the hall.
Their caravan was not the only one in the relay station.
Although Master Guo had a certain reputation in the Capital City, there were many hidden talents in the Capital City. There were many people who were more powerful than Master Guo.
Of course, not every caravan leader was as broad-minded as Master Guo.
While Lin Mengya and the others were chatting enthusiastically, a pair of malicious eyes fell on their table.
Sitting at a table in the corner were three men from another caravan.
Being sensitive, Lin Mengya had already sensed his malicious gaze. Lin Mengya winked at Qiu Yu to ask everyone to lower their voices.
"Big Brother Zhang, who are those people over there?"
Lin Mengya wanted to keep a low profile when she went out.
However, they had been chatting happily just now, so they attracted the attention of many people. However, there was a hint of coldness in the eyes of one table, which made her feel uneasy.
Zhao Fei did not need to look back to know who Little Brother Yuan was talking about. Although there was a look of disdain in his eyes, he still lowered his voice and said,
"That is a caravan headed for the Lieyun Empire. The leader is called Crow. Humph, he is just a villain."
Although Zhao Fei did not say anything specific, Lin Mengya could already feel it.
Crow, this name did not just refer to that person's dark skin.
Lin Mengya glanced at that table inadvertently. She had a feeling that the three people at that table gave her a strange feeling.
She could not tell what exactly it was.
However, the Lieyun Empire and the Nation of Lintian should not be in the same place. All of a sudden, a small face flashed across her mind. There was no news of Xiaoyu after he left, and she had asked many people to look for him. But in the end, there was no reply.
Hopefully, he was just too busy and forgot about it.
After dinner, most of the caravans rested in the relay station.
There were not many rooms and there was no decoration. It was just an ordinary shared bed. Some of them even chose to set up tents outside with their goods.
Only the leaders and the rich merchants could have a room that was passable.
Since Qiu Yu was Yuan Lin's cousin in name, he naturally squeezed into the same room with them.
There were three people sitting around the greasy black square table, and they were staring at each other.
Lin Mengya stared at Qiu Yu with an unfriendly look. The unhappiness in her eyes was definitely enough to kill someone.
"Well … you two can sleep in the room, and I can sleep on the floor outside."
Qiu Yu knew that he was in the wrong, so he had to compromise in a low voice.
However, Lin Mengya still did not intend to let him go. Qiu Yu clearly knew that she and Baishao were both girls.
He was a man, but he still went into a girl's room. It was obvious that he was up to no good!
"Why do you insist on living with us? Do you have any evil thoughts? "
Qiu Yu almost rolled his eyes and was scared to death. Evil thoughts?
After seeing the way she dealt with her opponents, he still dared to have any evil thoughts?
God, it was not like he was tired of living.
He immediately put on a loyal and devoted look, and beat his chest and stamped his feet to make a promise.
"I'm really just worried about your safety. You know, there are all kinds of people here. Just now, that crow was staring at you. How can I rest assured if I let you sleep alone? "
Lin Mengya looked at the guy in front of her suspiciously. His excuse was really dignified.
Like Baishao, she looked at him up and down several times. She knew that Qiu Yu's innocent and kind eyes were starting to cramp.
Lin Mengya and Baishao reluctantly believed him.
"Okay, we can believe you for the time being. But you can only move around in the outer room. If you dare to come into our house without my permission, beware — "
Lin Mengya made a gesture of sticking two fingers into her eyes, and after glaring at Qiu Yu, she went back to the room with Baishao to rest.
Looking at the shabby door, she suddenly closed it in front of her. The bitter smile on Qiu Yu's face slowly turned into a serious one.
He poured a cup of cold tea on the table and drank it. Apart from the residue, there was only a bitter taste.
However, Qiu Yu poured the entire cup into his throat and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.
Lin Mengya was right. The reason why he followed them was because he had his own purpose.
But it was not as filthy as Lin Mengya had imagined.
Qiu Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of the threatening look in her eyes before she went in.
This girl really resembled that person very much.
It was late at night. Fortunately, Qiu Yu was thoughtful enough to prepare a big bucket of hot water for them.
The master and the servant rubbed each other's back and whispered to each other.
"Master, I have a feeling that this Imperial Physician Qiu is really strange. You said that there can't be such a coincidence in this world. Do you think he's plotting something against us? "
Baishao said worriedly. She had thought that it was a difficult journey. She didn't expect that once they set foot on the road, they couldn't rest easy.
At this moment, she felt more sorry for her master. How could her master, who was so precious, withstand the pain of running around?
Lin Mengya shook her head. The hot water had washed away the fatigue of the day. Her mind had also become active at night.
"He won't do anything to us. I believe he won't hurt us. Besides, he might be able to help us with the request for medicine. The only thing I'm worried about right now is whether or not the incident that happened before we left the city will expose our whereabouts. "
She rubbed her temple with her slender index finger.
She might have caught the spies by surprise when she ran out from the backyard.
But the Capital City was not like other places. There were too many people who could recognize her.
If the Crown Prince and his men found out, her safety would be in jeopardy.
Lin Mengya got up and put on a simple dress. She looked down through the window at the people who were guarding their goods and camping by the bonfire.
Everyone here had their own family and loved ones.
She knew the Crown Prince and his men's means very well. At that time, once they started killing, they would definitely not care about anyone else.
They were running around so that they could provide a relatively comfortable life for their family members.
It wasn't easy to live in the open like this.
In her heart, she began to have the urge to go alone.
Sigh, it was probably from here that she realized that she had the legendary Detective Conan's Physique of Attracting Trouble.
"I don't think so. Even if someone saw you, he wouldn't be able to recognize you, master. You don't say, you look like the Young Master of our Lin Mansion! "
Baishao said casually, drying her hair with a piece of cloth.
Lin Mengya thought of something and looked at her thoughtfully.
"You mean I look like my brother?"
Baishao nodded immediately and replied.
"Isn't that right? Although the eldest young master is a few years older than you, you are born from the same mother. Between their brows, they really look alike. "
Lin Mengya immediately stood in front of the bronze mirror. She could barely see the girl in the bronze mirror in the dim light.
