The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

In the dark teahouse, the bamboo curtain is half-covered.

The midday sun shines in from the window and casts mottled patches on the ground.

In the teahouse, water vapor curled up.

Although it was already packed with more than twenty people, it was so quiet that you could hear the sound of tea being made.

The shopkeeper poured tea for the distinguished guests in the room, set out refreshments, and then left.The pressure was too heavy and he really couldn't bear it.

Mu Rong and Xu Rongrong sat opposite each other.

"Master Hou is also going to Jiangnan?" Xu Rongrong asked.

Mu Rong nodded: "Exactly, going to run errands for His Highness the Crown Prince."

After saying that, he said with a smile: "What? Rong Rong doesn't know?"

Only then did Xu Rongrong understand why the Mu House next door had been so quiet these past two days. It turned out that he was waiting for her here...

She originally felt bored, but her eyes glanced at the table behind Mu Rong and found that the person sitting there was none other than Cao Yang, who was later known as the "Shen Duan" of the five great talents in the capital. Xu Rongrong remembered that before he became famous, he seemed to be serving in the Prince's East Palace.

Later, after the prince fell, he was protected by the minister of Dali Temple based on his ability to judge cases. After completing several great achievements, he enjoyed a high reputation in the capital.

If Cao Yang is here, maybe... Mu Rong seems to have really gone on an errand for the prince.

She lowered her head and blushed at the selfish sentiment that flashed through her heart just now.

Mu Rong didn't know what the girl was thinking, but when he saw her lowering her head and pursed her lips delicately, he felt a trace of pity in his heart.

He quietly pushed the tea in front of the girl with his fingertips.

Then he said seriously: "I haven't asked Rong Rong yet...why are you suddenly going to Jiangnan?"

"Go find Mrs. Xu." Xu Rongrong turned her face away without changing her expression.

Mu Rong sighed softly in his heart: When can the two of them truly reveal their true feelings to each other.

Now, he could only pretend not to know, nodded and said: "I see, I thought you were here to accompany me."

Xu Rongrong glanced at him: "If the Marquis stops talking, we can still finish the meal."

Mu Ai couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud, then hurriedly covered his mouth the next second.

Fortunately, Mu Rong didn't take it seriously. He picked up the tea bowl in his hand and said: "The floods in the south of the Yangtze River have not subsided yet, so it is not peaceful to go to the south of the Yangtze River. There are many complicated undercurrents hidden in it. If you insist on going, why not come with me."

Xu Rongrong took a quick look and saw that the twenty or so people in the tea room were all dressed as sergeants. It seemed that what Mu Rong said was true.

But when she thought of Chu He by her side, she smiled and declined: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, but since you are on an errand for His Highness the Crown Prince, you must have something important to do. If you bring your little girl with you, I'm afraid it will miss your time." .”

Mu Rong sank slightly, his eyes level with hers.

He looked at her for a moment, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter, just ride with me Rong Rong."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

She finished the tea on her plate in several bites, then wiped the crumbs off her fingers with a handkerchief.

He smiled and said: "The Marquis is not worried that my daughter will miss my job, but I am worried that you will miss my daughter's search."

After saying that, she left happily.

Before leaving, he left a dime of silver on the table.

Chu He followed her and gave Mu Rong a cold look when he went out.

Mu Rong looked at him with a stern face. It was not until all their masters and servants left that the pressure in the tea room gradually dissipated.

Mu Ai stepped forward cautiously: "Master, do we want to follow?"

Mu Rong looked at the broken silver on the corner of the table without comment.

For a moment, Mu Ai was in trouble: Hey...it's getting harder and harder to guess what I'm thinking lately!

Chu He drove very fast, and when Mu Rong walked out of the tea house, their master and servant had already lost sight of them.

He sneered and got on his horse.

The stinging pain in his chest made him frown slightly.

……

After leaving the capital, ahead is the county seat closest to the capital.

Puyang County.

Chu He passed by here before entering Beijing. He asked through the car door: "It's still nearly a day's journey from the next county. If you miss this place, I'm afraid you'll have to spend the night in the wilderness."

Xu Rongrong didn't care, but considering that it was Wen Yao's first time traveling far away, he decided to settle here first.

Puyang County, with its back to the capital, is also prosperous.

It was almost dusk, and Wen Yao found an inn that looked clean and simple.

When the boss saw that the owner had two carriages, he stepped forward to greet them with a smile on his face, and then ordered the waiter to take the carriages to the backyard to take care of them.

Because he was out of town, Xu Rongrong didn't want everyone to feel restrained, so he set a table by the window and ordered the other three people to sit down together.

During the time between serving dishes, Wen Yao looked out from time to time.

Xu Rongrong smiled and joked: "What? Is there a thorn in your chair?"

Wen Yao smiled shyly: "This slave is just checking to see if the Marquis has followed."

"Look what he is doing? He has errands to run, so he won't come with us." Xu Rongrong said.

Wen Yao curled his lips, expressing doubt in his heart.

Chuhe... is the same.

Shu Qing, on the other hand, pondered for a moment and said, "I see that the Marquis seems to be injured."

Xu Rongrong nodded: "He was injured by an arrow before, but he must have recovered."

Shu Qing hesitated: "But from what I can see, the Marquis seems to have internal injuries."

Xu Rongrong was stunned when he heard this.

Did the arrow wound not heal?She remembered that Mu Rong had been recuperating for half a year in his previous life, but in this life, because of the plaster she prepared using blood stems, the wounds scabbed quickly. She had not seen him mention it recently, so she thought he had fully recovered.

But now...

She expressed her doubts, and Shu Qing nodded after listening: "If it is according to what the eldest lady said, if the arrow is shot from a distance, if it hits the center, it will cause serious internal injuries after all. Although the blood stems can quickly stop bleeding, , is also a holy product for healing, but it has limited effect on internal injuries. Perhaps because of this, my subordinates felt that something was wrong."

Xu Rongrong frowned slightly: He was injured, so why did he come to Jiangnan to bother him?What's the matter with the prince?

The waiter quickly brought the dishes, interrupting Xu Rongrong's thoughts.

Four dishes and one soup are just enough for four people.

Chu He had been paying attention to her expression just now, and now he calmly served her a bowl of custard.

As soon as Xu Rongrong picked up the spoon, there was a noise not far from the window.

Directly opposite the inn is a tea room.

It was originally the most elegant place, but at this moment, a mother and daughter were pushed out from inside.

The mother held the lute in one hand and the package in the other.

The girl was only twelve or thirteen years old. She was hiding behind her mother, grabbing her clothes with a look of horror on her face.

A man walked out of the tea room. He was very old and had a big belly. He was wearing a green gown and a small coat with gold threads. It was hard to tell whether he was elegant or vulgar.

Behind him were four or five long followers, as well as two dandies who were covered in gold aura.

The man pointed at the middle-aged woman: "Master, I'm hosting a banquet with friends today. It's a pleasure for me, but look what you're playing? How sad, this is really bringing bad luck to me." ! You actually want money? Get out of here!"

The middle-aged woman knelt on the ground, holding the pipa: "Master, if there is something wrong, you can just point it out, but the little woman has been playing music for you all afternoon. Please have mercy on us and reward us with something." Let the girl have enough money to eat."

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Get out!" The man's eyes widened.

The two dudes next to him also looked like they were watching a show.

Xu Rongrong's seat was facing the tea room, and the four masters and servants had a panoramic view of everything.

Wen Yao saw that the girl was pitiful and couldn't bear it: "Miss..."

Xu Rongrong gave her a chopstick of dried meat: "Eat."
