Chapter 414 Who is the burden
It will take three days to move forward at a constant speed from the capital to the Valley of Hell.
During these three days, the candidates for the new king went smoothly.
However, no one felt relaxed.
Just think about it, since it is always an opportunity after entering the valley, why bother making it so ugly?
On the evening of the third day, I finally arrived at the destination of the trip, the Valley of Hell.
The terrain of the Valley of Hell is very strange, with cliffs around it and only one entrance, where the imperial guards were already there.
Although it was almost dark, Lord Zongshou still asked the candidates to prepare for it and enter the valley.
There is no limit on the number of people coming, but only nine people entering the valley are allowed, including the candidates themselves, while others are waiting outside the valley.
Because the candidates were all noble royal families, except Xue Wenyu and the others, the other seven candidates not only brought servants to serve them, but also cooks.
During the three days of the trip, the seven candidates enjoyed it. They were served by their daily lives and cooked food.
At that time, Brother Hui and Xue Wenyu seemed a little shabby, and they all bought dry food, sauce meat and so on the way.
We were about to enter the valley. Although the seven servants who brought close service to them had chosen kung fu, they still did not bring them into the valley after careful consideration. But the chef, there was no chef who knew kung fu.
Only nine people can enter the valley. For safety reasons, of course, you must bring as many skilled martial arts as possible. So, of course you can't bring a chef.
Although the diet is much worse without a chef, it is important to save your life at this time!
As long as you bring enough food, you can fill your stomach.
Brother Hui, Xue Wenyu, Shang Xiaohu, Lin Chuan and five others, while Luo Yi stayed outside the valley to stay. It is also very important to stay outside the valley to stay. Luo Yi must be kept safely. Luo Yi is more suitable than Shang Xiaohu.
After a little rest, each walked into the valley.
Before leaving Beijing, there was a rule that only nine people could be brought, but it was allowed to bring a carriage.
When entering the valley entrance, the Imperial Guard carefully inspected the carriage, and the carriage was allowed to carry weapons. The purpose of the inspection was to prevent people from being entrapped in.
When it was the turn to check Xue Wenyu and the others, the Imperial Guard who was checking lifted the tarpaulin and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned.
In addition to the tent and pots like others, Prince Jie also has several jars, jars, and a jar!
The envoy, who was supervising on the side, quickly pulled the dazed imperial guards.
The man came to his senses and carefully lifted the lid of the jar. He saw that it was wrapped in lotus leaves and didn't know what it was inside. Anyway, the Imperial Guard, whose nose was very good, smelled the fragrance of the food.
After the inspection, I watched the carriage walk away, and the inspected imperial guards were still watching.
I wondered if it was because this little prince was young, so he was afraid that he would be hungry, so most of the things on the carriage were eaten?
If it wasn't for the responsibility, and the Zong Zhi was by his side, he really wanted to come and see what delicious food in the bags, why would it be so delicious?
Of course, Xue Wenyu also noticed the Royal Guard who was checking the carriage and his eyes were on the look when checking.
Xue Wenyu was also a little puzzled. What exactly was installed on the carriage?
When he was about to buy, Lin Chuan said that Mr. Tao was arranged by him. Xue Wenyu thought that the old man was reliable in doing things, so he didn't think much about it.
"Father, it would be great if I could bring a woman here. Mother was talking about picking mushrooms and hazelnuts." Brother Hui turned his head to Xue Wenyu and said to him as he looked at the dense forest not far away.
"Well, I have time to see if there is any on the mountain. If there is one, pick some back." Xue Wenyu looked at the forest and responded.
"I heard that there was a tiger here. She would be happy to hunt someone who had skinned her tigers and made a chair cushion for her sister-in-law's wife." Shang Xiaohu also said.
Lin Chuan and the others were laughing at each other, looking at the ones who entered the valley, whether they were masters or followers, they all looked serious.
Let’s look at these people in my family, they are talking about the ladies who stayed in the capital.
"Yes, yes, my mother has said that tiger bones are a medicine, and we will take them with them at that time." Brother Hui quickly added.
While speaking, I saw an open space in front of me, and someone had already started to set up a tent while it was dark.
What I said in advance this time, so everyone has prepared a complete set of things.
The tent is either cowhide or a tent covered with tung oil, which can protect against rain and wind.
The people on Xue Wenyu's side are half of him and half are Shang Xiaohu's people. No matter which side, they have traveled long distances and fought.
It seems that it is more well-trained than the other seven teams, those who set up tents, pick up dry firewood, and those who carry stones to build stoves, just look busy but not messy, and there is no need for Xue Wenyu and Shang Xiaohu to speak.
Unlike other teams, Xue Wenyu set up a large tent in the middle, and there are three simple small tents on three sides that can only accommodate one person.
It was completely dark, lanterns were hung in the tent, and torches were inserted into the tent.
There are six bed rolls in the tent, a simple table in the middle, wine pot, wine bowls and chopsticks, all of which are already arranged.
Xue Wenyu sat at the table, playing with the empty wine cup, feeling a little regretful, and could not eat the food she made with her own hands.
Although we entered the valley, everyone's tents were built in a flat area that was not far from the edge of the forest.
They left each other tacitly for more than a hundred meters away. Now someone looked here and muttered; "I'm still building a stove. Could it be that I've brought the cook in?"
Team 7 people all made fires and boiled water, brewed tea for the master, that is, they watched Prince Jie build a stove and a pot.
They were busy roasting dry food. When they were cutting the sauce meat, they looked at the two big pots on Prince Jie’s side and didn’t know what was steamed. People with the wind could smell a scent from the wind, as if it was the meat smell.
"What are you doing?" Seeing that Brother Hui was about to go out again, Xue Wenyu called him.
How can you still be like your own home in such an occasion outside?
"I'll go and talk to them, otherwise they won't know how to do it." Brother Hui said, pointing to the bowls and chopsticks on the table.
"Please pay attention to the occasion in the future." Xue Wenyu understood and reminded.
Brother Hui responded and walked out, went to the carriage, took a list and took out a bag of things and entered the tent.
Just when Xue Wenyu was still regretting that he could not eat the food made by his wife, he smelled a familiar fragrance and saw Lin Chuan bringing a large porcelain basin with a cotton cloth. He put it in the middle of the table, and the one behind him came in with a large pot of hot steamed buns. Even the subordinates behind him were not empty-handed when they came in.
Xue Wenyu knew that the steamed bun was bought when he passed by a small town this afternoon.
"It's time to eat." Lin Chuan shouted like a waiter and lifted the lid of the large porcelain basin.
