Chapter 268: Follow My Commands
Hearing this, Zhao Xuesi could only nod sullenly and said, "Okay!"
He suddenly thought of something and said, "When we came to Jinzhou, we brought some people with us. The prince is missing, I was injured and unconscious, and those people are probably like headless flies now."
"I'll give you an address. Go over there and gather those people. You'll have more people to command when you're in Jinzhou these days."
Yun Fuling was also looking for those people, so she agreed upon hearing this.
"Leave the matter of finding the prince and Commander Zuo to me."
"Relax and take good care of your injuries. I'll come back to see you in two days."
Yun Fuling gave Zhao Xuesi a few instructions before leaving.
It is difficult to accurately calculate the passage of time in the secret room. After Yun Fuling came out of the secret room, she found that it was already past noon.
The address Zhao Xuesi gave her was outside the city.
If I rush over now, I don’t know if I can get back before dark.
Yun Fuling hesitated for a moment and made a decision in her heart.
She decided to go there today.
The more information we have, the greater the chance of finding Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan.
Those people outside the city might know something.
In that case, it would be better to see them as soon as possible.
Who knows if something unexpected will happen if we wait until tomorrow?
She looked at Li Yuan and ordered, "Go to the winter courtyard of Rugui Tower and find a man named Boss Wu. Tell him that I'm going out of town."
"If I can't come back tonight, tell them not to worry and just wait for me in the Winter Courtyard."
"I'll take Yaoguang and Hu Kun with me, so there won't be any problems with safety."
Li Yuan immediately bowed and said "yes".
Yun Fuling glanced at him and said, "From today on, all your men will obey my orders until Commander Zuo returns!"
A hint of surprise flashed across Li Yuan's eyes, but quickly disappeared into calmness.
Now that the commander of the Shadow Blade Division is missing, Yun Fuling holds the highest token of the Shadow Blade Division and can of course command anyone in the Shadow Blade Division.
Li Yuan's expression became even more respectful. "I obey your orders!"
Yun Fuling and a few others left the antique shop through the back door. After exiting the alley, they found a noodle stall not far away.
The aroma of the noodle soup floated in the air, making Yun Fuling feel even hungrier.
"Go eat a bowl of noodles first. Only when you are full will you have the energy to do anything!"
The world is big, but eating is the most important thing. Yun Fuling is not happy to run around with an empty stomach.
Besides, eating a bowl of noodles doesn’t take too much time.
Yun Fuling took the lead and walked towards the noodle stall first.
Yaoguang and Hu Kun looked at each other. Their stomachs were empty, but when they smelled the fragrance of the noodles, they swallowed unconsciously and immediately followed quickly.
It was past dinner time, so there were few customers at the noodle stall.
The noodle stall owner was just about to close up and go home when three customers suddenly came.
This noodle stall is run by an elderly couple. The grandmother is responsible for rolling the noodles, while the grandfather greets customers and serves the noodles and collects the bowls.
Seeing Yun Fuling and the others sitting down on the stool, the old man immediately stepped forward and greeted them: "What would you like to order, gentlemen?"
Yun Fuling asked, "Do you have beef noodles?"
The old man looked apologetic upon hearing this, "I'm sorry, we are a small stall and we don't have beef."
Oxen are an important labor force, and every ox is registered with the government.
Working oxen cannot be slaughtered at will. Even if they die of illness or accident, they must be reported to the government immediately, and the government will slaughter and sell the meat.
Ordinary people cannot buy beef even if they have money if they don’t have connections.
Yun Fuling thought of this and was about to ask what kind of noodles they sold, but the old man had already recommended: "We have vegetarian noodles, scallion oil noodles, shredded pork noodles..."
"Shredded pork noodles use chicken and chicken soup, and are more expensive, ten cents a bowl."
Yaoguang walked around the noodle stall and happened to come back at this time.
She nodded slightly at Yun Fuling.
When Yun Fuling saw this, she knew that this small noodle stall was very clean.
When eating out, the most worrying thing is that the store does not pay attention to hygiene.
Therefore, whenever Yun Fuling eats out, she pays close attention to the hygiene of the store.
Yaoguang has followed Yun Fuling for so long, so she naturally knows her habit.
So as soon as she arrived at the noodle stall, Yaoguang went to check the hygiene of the stall first.
Make sure it is clean so you can eat with more peace of mind.
After listening to the boss's introduction, Yun Fuling first asked about Yaoguang and Hu Kun's tastes.
Seeing that they had no dietary restrictions, I took the initiative to order three bowls of shredded pork noodles.
When the old man saw that they ordered the most expensive shredded pork noodles, the smile on his face deepened a little.
He shouted to the old woman at the stove, "Old woman, three bowls of shredded pork noodles."
"Okay!" The old woman responded and immediately started working skillfully.
The old man brought a pot of tea over and said, "Please wait a moment, the pork noodles will be ready soon."
Yun Fuling smiled at him, took the teapot and said, "Thank you."
The old man couldn't help feeling flattered when he saw Yun Fuling and the others were dressed in rich clothes yet so gentle and polite.
He put down the teapot and went to help at the stove.
It didn't take long before three bowls of shredded pork noodles were served.
Although this noodle stall is not big, the noodles taste very good.
The noodles are chewy and have a fresh wheat aroma, and the chicken soup is very delicious.
Hu Kun didn't expect that Yun Fuling, Princess Yi, would be willing to eat at such a street stall.
He had never seen such a down-to-earth lady.
Seeing Yun Fuling eating noodles with big mouthfuls, her movements were natural and unpretentious, and her expression showed a hint of enjoyment, Hu Kun was even more surprised.
This Princess Yi is truly extraordinary!
They had come here from the capital before, traveling day and night, and Yun Fuling had never complained about the hardship.
When it comes to food, she eats whatever they eat and is not picky.
There are very few noble ladies who can do this.
At that time, Hu Kun admired Yun Fuling a little.
Now that he saw another side of her, Hu Kun felt very complicated for a moment.
At this moment, he suddenly heard Yun Fuling say, "Captain Hu, why don't you eat?"
"Don't look down on small stalls like this. In fact, many delicacies come from small stalls like this."
"This noodle stall tastes really good, you'll know once you try it."
Most of the imperial guards were children of officials. They were unable to pass the imperial examinations due to their limited talent and knowledge. Many of their brothers could not get a chance to inherit the throne, and it was too dangerous for them to join the frontier army to earn military merit.
Therefore, he could only seek a job in one of the several armies in the imperial city, which was also a way out.
This is the case with Hu Kun.
Seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks, Yun Fuling thought that he, as a son of an official, disdained such a small stall.
Hu Kun didn't dislike this stall at all.
Although he was born into an official family, he was a bastard's son and his life was not easy. How could he have the right to complain about anything?
But he didn't explain much and quickly picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
As he was eating, he heard Yun Fuling talking to the old man at the noodle stall: "Uncle, I heard there's a cattle and horse market nearby, do you know how to get there?"
