Chapter 427: Beat Up Gu Masters (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The city gate of Nanzhao was usually closed earlier than the Great Zhou Dynasty. At this time, the city gate had long closed.
“We traveled all morning for nothing! In the end, we still have to sleep in the wilderness!” Old Cui complained.
He was old and it was already difficult for him to get up from the long journey. That damn Gu Master even urged them all the way as if he was in a hurry to reincarnate. Old Cui’s intestines were about to break from the travel. It would be fine if they could enter the city, but that fellow had diarrhea in the afternoon.
He was the one urging them, and he was the one who couldn’t move. Old Cui was going to die of anger!
Qing Yan and the others naturally did not have good expressions. When they alighted from the carriage and passed by the Gu Master, they did not even look at him.!!
The Gu Master seemed to be a grandmaster, but he was actually especially petty. He secretly remembered this group of people’s disrespect and felt that they deserved what was about to happen.
Lord Fei Luo had said that as long as he helped him get what he wanted, Lord Fei Luo would allow him to travel with them. Lord Fei Luo’s guards were personally arranged by the Queen Manor, and they were definitely not something these small fries could compare to.
Moreover, he could cultivate a relationship with Lord Fei Luo along the way. In the future, when he entered the Capital, he would be considered someone with connections to Lord Fei Luo.
As they could not enter the city and there was no village or shop in front, everyone could only find an empty place near the official road to set up camp. After traveling for many days, the few of them were considered experienced. They took down the tent from the carriage and set it up.
What was worth mentioning was that the Gu Master’s servants were either dead or injured when they encountered the robbers. Only the coachman could accompany them. It was not that he could not buy servants, but they did not catch his eye. He thought that since he was about to enter the Capital, it would not be too late to carefully choose when he got there.
The coachman’s ability was limited. The tent was built for him by Yue Gou. Jiang Hai and Qing Yan no longer wanted to talk to him.
At this point, it had to be mentioned that Zi Su was meticulous and considerate. Although it was a day’s journey, Zi Su had prepared rations for two days. The other rations were raw rice and dry goods. These things could be stored, and it would not spoil even if it was stored overnight.
Fu Ling went to start the fire. Zi Su took the pot and washed the rice with spare water. She sandwiched the pot on a small stove built with a few stones and took out dried fish and meat to roast on another fire.
Jiang Hai had hunted a fresh rabbit somewhere, and there was no need for anyone to help him. He cleaned the rabbit himself and handed it to Zi Su and Fu Ling. The two of them took out the snowflake salt and pickled vegetables that they had bought from the Yu family. The vegetable oil was bought on the way.
“Are there any green onions left?” Zi Su asked.
“Yes, I’ll go get it!” Fu Ling walked over with strong steps. After a while, she came over with a small potted plant, which was planted by Yu Wan.
Zi Su sprinkled salt, brushed the sauce, and roasted the rabbit until it was glossy. She tore off two rabbit legs and sprinkled green onions for Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao.
Perhaps it was because he was drinking medicine, Yan Jiuchao had not eaten much meat recently. He did not want the rabbit leg, so Yu Wan only kept one. She asked Zi Su to send the other one to Grandma.
The fragrance of roasted rabbit meat wafted into the Gu Master’s tent. The Gu Master was not very hungry at first, so he lay down after eating a few steamed buns. However, when the fragrance came, he felt hungry. He called the coachman over. “What are they eating?”
The coachman was also craving for it. He swallowed his saliva and said, “I think Guard Jiang hunted a rabbit and they roasted it.”
The Gu Master’s expression immediately turned ugly. “Jiang Hai is my escort! The things he hunted are naturally mine! Why did they eat them?!”
“Then… I’ll go ask them for it now?” If he could get more, and the Gu Master would not be able to finish it, then the rest would be his!
“…Forget it.” The Gu Master thought of tonight’s plan and suppressed his urge to eat meat.
“Oh.” The coachman lowered his head in disappointment. The rabbit meat was so fragrant, and the dried fish and meat were also fragrant. There were sweet potatoes in the rice, and they were fragrant!
The Gu Master also felt that it was fragrant, but there was no other way. Ever since he revealed the thought of selling that maidservant, he had completely fallen out with that group of people. Wasn’t she just a maidservant? He really didn’t understand why they couldn’t bear to part with her. To offend two Gu Masters for a servant, this group of people was probably retarded!
Goo~ The rabbit meat was too fragrant, and the Gu Master’s stomach growled.
“What else is good to eat?” The Gu Master asked irritably.
The coachman said, “There’s dried meat and snacks.”
The dried meat was bought from the same shop, but for some reason, the Gu Master felt that their dried meat was more fragrant than his own.
The Gu Master waved his hand and asked the coachman to remove the food. Just as the coachman lifted the curtain of the tent, he heard the Gu Master say, “Wait, come here.”
