The smoke and dust rolled and the flags rolled. After our team left Xi'an Prefecture, we walked all the way to the northwest.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Even if you sit in the shady carriage, the stuffy temperature is still very uncomfortable for people. Qinghan and I are sweating profusely every day. We often change into a set of clothes in the morning and we can twist out the water at noon.

In this case, even if we are not sick, we will get some illness. Our journey is not slow, but we have been walking for five or six days before we arrive in Fengxiang.

When I entered the city, it was only afternoon. I should have rested for a while and continued to move forward. However, the several consecutive days of travel had already exhausted everyone. Moreover, it was particularly hot today. Many soldiers fainted from heatstroke. Pei Yuanhao ordered everyone to take another rest for Fengxiang and move forward.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

When I moved into the inn, the scorching sun above my head had already burned into a big fireball, and the entire border town seemed to be on the fire, and every step seemed to be walking on the fire. The hot people couldn't put their feet. After sweating profusely, Yao Lao made a bowl of summer heat relief soup for everyone. After I took it for Qinghan to drink it, I brought another bowl to Miaoyan's room.

When I walked into her room, I saw her lying on the windowsill alone.

In the past, no matter where we went, she might have followed me or Chang Qing, and someone took care of her. But this time, she insisted on not sitting with Qinghan and me, and she did not have the same car as Pei Yuanhao. She was alone in the car for so long, and she had not become sick on her body, and she was about to become sick on her heart.

I said softly: "Miaoyan, come and take medicine."

She quickly turned around, I brought the medicine bowl to the table and sat down. She came over and looked down. The turbid soup immediately made her frown: "What is this?"

"A medicine that can relieve heat."

"I don't want to drink it, I know it's very bitter at first glance."

"Are you still afraid of hardship when you are so old?"

“……, not right.”

"You have to drink even if you are afraid of suffering. If you have fever, your father will definitely send you back. Do you want to be sent back?"

When she heard this, her face suddenly became solemn. As if she saw this possibility, she immediately picked up the bowl and drank it down.

I smiled and took out a piece of candy for her to eat.

The taste of candy slightly dispelled the bitterness in her mouth. She sucked the candy cubes while looking at me with her head tilted: "Mom, where are we going next?"

I still can't answer this question. How to go along the way? The instructions were all from Pei Yuanhao's imperial guards. However, according to what he asked someone to prepare before, there was also the rough direction of the road - "It should be better to continue walking northwest."

Miaoyan opened his eyes wide and looked at me: "Are you going to get out of Yumen Pass?"

I smiled and said, "Stop talking stupidly. This time your father took you to worship the imperial tomb. How could the imperial tomb be outside Yumen Pass?"

“…and so.”

She bit the candy and murmured.

I stood up and walked to the bed to look out. Although the city was small, it had very important military significance. If Shaanxi was the northwest gateway to the Central Plains, then Fengxiang was the northwest gateway to Shaanxi. Pei Yuanhao temporarily set his capital in Xi'an Prefecture, and this place seemed particularly important.

The city walls here are very high-rise, and the gray walls stand like a giant standing on this flat ground, guarding this small border town.

Speaking of which, although I have been to so many places, this is the first time I have been here.

Although it is covered with green trees, many green colors can be seen outside the city, spreading along the river, but the sand is still very serious. A gust of wind brings a burst of sand and dust covering the sky and the sun. When many people in the city walk, they wear veils on their heads, and the thin silk hanging almost reaches people's ankles, covering the whole person inside, which tightly blocks the sand and dust outside.

This was the first time I saw it. Miaoyan bit the candy and walked to me and looked at the scenery below.

"Mom, what are those people wearing on their heads?"

"Ah hat."

"Why haven't we seen it before?"

"The wind and sand in the capital are not as big as here."

"Oh, it's quite fun to block the sand."

I smiled and said, "Do you like it? If you like it, I'll buy you one later. Anyway, after leaving the city, the wind and sand will definitely be stronger, and you can use it."

When she heard this, she felt energetic: "Mom, take me out for a walk, we can buy some fun things. I just saw a lot of things on the street, all of which were not found in Beijing."

It is rare that she still has this mood. To be honest, we, mother and daughter, have not been together alone for a while. Moreover, women seem to have no resistance to shopping and shopping, so I agreed and took her out of the inn.

After a while, each of them bought a hat to bring it with them.

It was the first time I wore such a hat. The thin silk hanging around me was like a cloud of mist covering my eyes. Everything was a bit hazy, but I really didn't have to worry about the sand and dust that was blown by the wind. Moreover, others couldn't see their faces. They had a very strange feeling, as if they had become an invisible person, and could laugh casually or have any expressions, without worrying about being seen.

This feeling is very novel. I am even more excited than Miaoyan. I held her with one hand in my hat. The two of them swayed across the street. She was also very fresh in front of this strange city and bought a lot of things along the way.

At this moment, we saw a iron shop on the side of the road.

This place is located in the border area. After all, unlike the Central Plains, it is often harassed by some bandits. Therefore, most of the people in the city practice martial arts and have some simple weapons to hang around. The iron shop looks particularly prosperous. You can hear the jingling sounds resounding half the street along the way.

This iron shop is different from other open-air iron shops. It is obviously an old brand. There is a large shop in front of it showing what they have built. The door behind the shop is open, and you can see the situation of the iron shop inside. More than a dozen or twenty workers are beating naked in front of the red road, with sparks splashing everywhere, and they look hot. There are many unmade swords hanging on the shop, which are blown by the wind and colliding with each other, making a series of crisp sounds.

Miaoyan and I looked at the things displayed in the shop outside. The iron shop here did not only make weapons, but also some other novel gadgets displayed in the shop. We could see some exquisite wine pots and utensils, which were very unique in shape and very different from what we saw in the past.

At this moment, a man walked down from the second floor, holding something in his arms, and looked back sneakily. No one in the iron shop paid attention to him, so he hurried out, but Miaoyan didn't see him with a hat. When he turned around, the two people collided.

"Oh!"

The man shouted and fell to the ground with his back.

Miaoyan was also pretended to be staggered, but fortunately she didn't fall. When she turned around, she saw that she was a man who looked about 20 or 30 years old. She looked haggard and very thin. She was so thin that her cheekbones on both sides of her face were timid and her face turned blue and gray, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

He fell to the ground and immediately cursed, "Who is this so weak!"

Miaoyan was also very angry: "You don't have eyes, but you dare to hit the book--"

Before she could finish her words, I reached out and pulled her. Although there were guards following us not far behind, I didn't plan to let Miaoyan go out so silly. When she saw me pulling her, she knew what I meant, so she swallowed the word "princess" behind her.

The man said, "This is my place. Do you dare to hit me or scold me?"

When I saw that this person was coming downstairs, it should be the person from this iron shop, so I didn't argue with him anymore, and just pulled Miaoyan: "Let's go."

However, before we could turn around and leave, a person came out from behind the iron shop and shouted: "What are you going to do?!"

It was an old man in his seventies, with his hair and beard and hair white, but his figure was very burly and solid. He had just walked out of the hot iron shop, covered in sweat, and a towel hung around his neck to wipe his sweat. When he saw the man fall to the ground, he immediately frowned: "What are you doing when you are back?"

When the man saw him, his face changed immediately. He hurriedly reached out to pick up the bag and wanted to run out.

thief?!

This thought flashed through my mind, but I immediately felt something was wrong. But before I could react, Miaoyan had already shouted to the guards who followed us not far away from the store, "That person is a thief, please stop him quickly!"

As soon as His Highness spoke, those people dared not be negligent and rushed up immediately.

The man stood at the door with a bag in his arms, but was stopped by the guards. He was so panicked that he ran around like a headless fly, and even wanted to knock out from the middle of the gap between the people. He said at that time that time, the old man strode forward and grabbed the man's back collar, trying to carry a chicken to lift the man up.

The guards stopped, and Miaoyan walked over and clapped his hands and said, "Haha, you thief, see where you are running away!"

Just when she was very happy, the man was carried in mid-air by the old man and shouted: "Dad, what are you doing? How ugly, let me down!"

Miaoyan was immediately stunned: "Ah? You are--"

I walked behind her and held her shoulder. The girl thought he was a thief when she saw the man running out with a bag, but she didn't expect that the old man was not completely unfamiliar with his tone.

The old man probably also felt sorry for his bad luck: "I don't have a son like you, and you came back to steal my things again! Let it go!"
