Qiu Yu looked relaxed, but there was some worry hidden in his expression.
If they wanted to take a shortcut, they had to take some risks.
If it was in normal times, they would still have some confidence. Although the road was difficult, it was okay to be careful.
But now, they were being watched by someone.
If they didn't want Lin Mengya to succeed in getting the medicine. There was bound to be a fierce battle here.
"Why don't I tell Master Guo that we should leave in advance? I don't want to implicate the group of businessmen. If their only target is me, as long as I'm no longer with them. I don't think they will complicate matters. "
At dusk, when they passed by the apricot forest, they would see the dangerous mountain road. The narrowest part could only allow one carriage to pass through.
And there was a cliff below. But what was more dangerous was that there was a strong wind blowing from time to time in the mountain stream.
Not to mention humans, even horses would stumble unsteadily.
This was the reason why most people would not choose this natural stronghold.
If the group of businessmen passed by, they could pass through this natural stronghold safely with the help of the carriage and the chain.
If there were only three of them and three horses, it would be dangerous.
"Okay, I'll tell him. I think Master Guo will understand. "
Qiu Yu nodded. After all, the group of businessmen were just ordinary people. There was no need to involve innocent people.
Looking at Qiu Yu's back, Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you nervous? I'll protect you. "
Long Tianhao held Lin Mengya's little hand gently but firmly. There was a sense of security in his eyes, which made Lin Mengya feel a little touched.
She nodded. She didn't know why she always believed that Long Tianhao would do what he said.
Qiu Yu, who had already discussed it with Master Guo, returned soon.
Master Guo was a smart man. Of course, he knew that these people were not ordinary people. Therefore, the trouble that he caused was not ordinary.
"Master Guo agreed, but he said that the wind would be stronger at night. So he will take the group of businessmen to rest in the apricot forest for one more day. We'll go there the next day. "
This was the greatest concession that Master Guo could make for them.
Lin Mengya looked in Master Guo's direction and nodded slightly to express her gratitude.
The caravan moved forward and soon arrived at the Apricot Blossom Forest that Qiu Yu mentioned.
Before he could even get close, a refreshing scent wafted into his nostrils.
Compared to the cold fragrance of the otherworldly plum blossoms, this ordinary apricot flower was more like the little sister of the Lin family, only making people feel that it was cute and amiable.
Perhaps even a national expert would not be able to use thick and heavy colors to depict even one-tenth of the scenery in front of him.
Large patches of pink and white were connected together seamlessly. It was like an endless mountain of apricot flowers.
If it weren't for the apricot blossoms that covered the mountains and plains, who would have thought that there was a heavenly moat that could kill people behind it?
"Everyone, take a rest in the apricot forest ahead!"
Wen Shi's rough voice rang out and everyone responded in unison.
Before the sky turned dark, they all went to the apricot forest in front of them to find a suitable place to set up the stove.
Lin Mengya rode on the horse and followed Long Tianhao to explore ahead.
The journey was not difficult, but Lin Mengya still swallowed a mouthful of saliva when she saw the dangerous place which was like the Great Rift Valley in Africa with her own eyes.
"No wonder, although the Nation of Lintian is not as powerful as other countries, no other countries have come to invade us for so many years."
Seeing it with her own eyes, Lin Mengya could only marvel at the magic of the Creator.
"Of course, the Nation of Lintian is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and only one side is connected to the mainland. However, there are only two entrances and exits in this rift valley. "
Even though he was trying to suppress it, Qiu Yu's tone was full of pride.
Lin Mengya was too lazy to force him to answer. If she still couldn't guess that Qiu Yu was from the Nation of Lintian, her head could be kicked like a ball.
However, it didn't matter whether he was from the Nation of Lintian or the Jin State. At least they were friends who would support each other, so there would be no problem.
"Although it's easy to defend and difficult to attack, once the two entrances and exits are taken by surprise, the Nation of Lintian will have no way to retreat, right?"
Long Tianhao couldn't stand Qiu Yu's complacent look. If they were in the Capital City, he would definitely arrest this guy as a spy and interrogate him.
However, Qiu Yu was not angry. He shook his head and said,
"Why do you think no one lives here in the Realm of the Lintian? It's because the Nation of Lintian is surrounded by water on three sides. Every family has a boat and everyone is good at sailing. If these two places were occupied, the people of the Nation of Lintian would have long gone to bed and run far away. No matter how powerful you are, can you sail on dry land? "
Qiu Yu's words made Long Tianhao choke. The two of them were not convinced of each other's superiority.
They argued from military geography to national economy and people's livelihood.
Lin Mengya looked at the two people who were like fighting cocks and couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.
They were both adults, but why were they behaving like children who hadn't grown up?
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the other side of the river.
Although this was the first time she came to the Nation of Lintian, she somehow had a longing for the other side of the river.
She took out the plum blossom copper seal from her bosom.
If she didn't guess wrong, this thing must have something to do with her mother's family background.
Qiu Yu also said that most of the aristocrats in the Nation of Lintian would use the plum blossom as their family symbol.
If there was no accident, this should be her mother's homeland.
No matter what, half of the blood of the Nation of Lintian flowed in her body.
Therefore, although it was the first time she came here, she didn't feel strange at all. Instead, she felt a sense of joy hidden deep in her blood.
The worry that had been lingering in his heart seemed to have disappeared at this moment.
She really didn't know what kind of changes this trip to the Nation of Lintian would bring to her life.
At the thought of this moment, she actually looked forward to it.
"Let's go. It's windy. Be careful not to catch a cold."
After ending a round of battle, Long Tianhao's eyes hid a little complacency after the victory.
She let Long Tianhao hold the reins and they returned to the apricot forest together. Qiu Yu, who was temporarily at a disadvantage, was muttering behind them.
It was obvious that the words "I'm not happy" were written on his downcast handsome face.
"Seriously, you're all grown up already. Can you not do such childish things?"
Lin Mengya really couldn't stand it anymore. When they were in the Capital City, the two of them were still fine.
Why was it that as soon as they left the capital, their intelligence regressed and they became two childish ghosts?
"He started it. Of course I can be magnanimous and tolerate it. But this matter concerns the prestige of the nation. As the third prince of Dajin, Prince Yu, I naturally can't give in! "
Long Tianhao's handsome face was serious and he was talking nonsense in a very serious manner.
"Humph!" Lin Mengya scolded Long Tianhao in her heart.
He was obviously childish, but he had to find a dignified reason for himself.
There were many people in the caravan, so in a short while, the aroma of the dishes drifted in the entire apricot forest.
It was rare for Lin Mengya to be elegant for once in the human world and to see such a rare spectacle.
She got off the horse, found a place where the petals were piled up, and rolled around.
She was covered with the aroma of apricot flowers, but she didn't know that her childish behavior made all the people in the caravan smile.
"Brother Yuan, you're a married man. Why are you acting like a child?"
After a few days, everyone knew that although this lad was sometimes fierce, he was a good-tempered person. Because of his young age, there were always some lively people who liked to make fun of him.
Because of his young age, there were always some lively people who liked to make fun of him.
He didn't get angry. He smiled amiably and let it go.
At this moment, Lin Mengya, who rolled up from the pile of apricot flowers, smiled mischievously, and then snatched the wine pot from the man's hand.
"What? Are you angry, so you want to pour my wine? That won't do, I only have this little bit of wine left. Hey hey hey, little ancestor, what are you doing? "
The man chased after Lin Mengya to ask for the wine pot, but unexpectedly, she reached out to grab a handful of apricot flowers on the branch and stuffed them into the wine pot.
Seeing that the man was anxious, he shook it hard and then sent it to the man's mouth with a smile.
"Try it!"
The man was not pretentious. He took the wine pot and took a sip.
Unexpectedly, the originally hot and bitter liquor, with the addition of the apricot flowers, actually tasted a lot more refreshing.
The taste of sorghum, together with the fragrance of apricot flowers, was unique.
"Yes! This wine is good! Brother Yuan, thank you! "
The man was satisfied and went to find someone to show off, leaving Lin Mengya, who kept picking apricot flowers.
"Why are you picking these things?"
Long Tianhao didn't know what she was thinking, but he was pulled by Lin Mengya and used the hem of a suit to catch the flower petals she had picked.
Seeing that it was almost full, Lin Mengya took Long Tianhao, who was confused, to the cooking stove.
She washed the rice and put it into the pot, then washed the apricot flowers with water, and put them into the pot.
"Little Brother Yuan, this rice was carried by us bit by bit. Aren't you being a bit wasteful? "
Wen Shi didn't know what Yuan Lin was going to do, so he stopped him with a frown.
But Lin Mengya used a big spoon to stir the porridge in the pot, and explained.
"This apricot flower is also a kind of medicine. It can nourish the body, dispel wind, and unblock blood vessels. It is especially good for the skin. I prepared it for the women in my family. You big men, go to the side! "
Except for Qiu Yu, no one expected that this seemingly useless apricot flower could be used as medicine.
Therefore, he could only stand at the side and watch.
The sun was setting, and the simple dishes were ready to be cooked.
Everyone sat on the ground. Thanks to the apricot forest, a few petals of apricot flowers fell in the wind, whether it was white rice, stir-fried vegetables, or pickled vegetables.
It added a bit of poetry to the scene. Although most of the people in the caravan were rough, they still found it interesting.
