Chapter 1597 Entering the City
They climbed for two full hours.
When Yun Dai climbed out, she could hardly stand up.
She sat on the ground, feeling pain and numbness in her knees.
There were heavy blood stains on the knees of his pants.
Baoxing knelt on one knee and frowned: "It's already wrapped so thickly, why is it still like this... Madam, please untie it quickly and let me apply some medicine for you."
Yun Dai said: "I'm fine. Let's take a look at the surrounding environment first."
Wei Jintai immediately said: "Baoxing, you take care of your mother-in-law first. I'll take people to look around. I'll be back soon."
He was avoiding suspicion.
After all, Baoxing was a father-in-law, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he was not considered a man at all. And she has been following Yun Dai closely to serve her, so it's no big deal for him to take care of her.
But these Huwei are young and strong young men, how can we let them see the queen's skin.
After Wei Jintai led the people to disperse, Yun Dai untied the strip of cloth and rolled up his trouser legs, revealing her slender straight calves and bloody knees.
Both knees were worn out.
Baoxing hurriedly took out the Jinchuang medicine from his arms, carefully applied the medicine to her, and wrapped it in a clean cloth.
"Mother, can you leave? Otherwise, I will carry you on my back."
"It's not that exaggerated, it's just a layer of skin broken." Yun Dai tried to stand up, moved her legs, and said with a smile, "The medicine Ouyang gave me is easy to use. It doesn't hurt much after applying the medicine."
"Is it really okay?"
"No problem." Yun Dai raised her head and looked around.
It is connected to the top of the mountain, and there are some houses in the distance, like a manor of some kind.
Silent and deserted.
It was precisely because of this that they were not discovered.
Yun Dai said: "I don't know how Xiaoyu and his brother discovered this mountain road."
"In my opinion, this cave was dug by man, and it is probably a few years old." Wei Jintai came back and said, "Master, I took people to look around. This is an abandoned village with no people and it is very shabby. Desolate. It is probably still some distance away from the imperial city of Northern Qi."
Yun Dai said: "Then let's rest where we are for a while. Baoxing, you take out the dry food and let everyone share some to eat. After we regain our strength, we can go to the city."
Everyone carries some dry food with them. In order to facilitate storage, they are some flour pancakes, dry steamed buns, and hard cooked beef.
There were no pots and pans, so Yun Dai lit a fire on the spot and used the fire to bake the pancakes until they were soft and eat them.
At least fill your stomach.
Yun Dai is quite adaptable, but Baoxing feels sorry for her.
Everyone in the palace was well-dressed and well-fed, but when they came out they ate cold pancakes and steamed buns without even a mouthful of hot water to drink.
My legs are still worn out...
Fortunately, the efforts were not in vain, and we finally entered Liangcheng.
After resting, Yun Dai and others left the village on foot and headed towards the city.
When we got outside, we slowly met people.
The situation in the city was worse than Yun Dai imagined.
People begging can be seen everywhere on the roadside and streets. It is impossible to tell whether they are beggars or ordinary people. Everyone is pale and pale from hunger.
From time to time there were soldiers from Northern Qi robbing things on the street.
Yun Dai appeared on the street with a dozen neatly dressed people with rosy faces, which inevitably attracted attention.
After some discussion, everyone finally decided to act separately to avoid setting too big a target and causing unnecessary trouble. After all, this is the country of Northern Qi, and there are tens of thousands of troops stationed in the city.
The city was full of people who were starving to death. They were so energetic that they didn't look like starving people at all, so they inevitably attracted attention.
