Prince, kneel down quickly, the lady can't run away

It started to drizzle outside and then turned into a heavy rain. We couldn't move forward and could only rest in the carriage and wait for the rain to subside before continuing on our journey...

"Master, here are some snacks. You and Miss Wen can fill your stomach first," Qinglong came over with an umbrella and brought the food.

Wen Jiu looked at Qinglong. This person also smelled like medicinal herbs. His attributes should be the same as Baizhi's. The only difference was that he was good at martial arts, and his skills were not low. She didn't think Xiao Jue wanted to do anything. Instead, she felt that the people around him only wanted to protect themselves, and she was the same. It was just for self-protection.

"Can I see Xiaoxiang's defense map?" Wen Jiu asked

Xiao Jue reached into his arms and took it out for her. Was it that easy? Aren't you afraid that she's a spy? Or an enemy?

"You gave it to me so easily, aren't you afraid that I was sent by the enemy?" Wen Jiu felt that he had no guard at all, which was not what a soldier should have.

"Are you? As long as the news gets out, the General's Mansion will be dragged into it, so my judgment will not be wrong." Xiao Jue looked at her and said truthfully

"Heh, how many times have you threatened me?" Wen Jiu was very unhappy

"It has to be useful to you to be a threat, right?"

"That's true. If there are other spies in the military camp, and you blame me, I will be at a loss." Wen Jiu pinched the snack and ate it. Hmm, this peach blossom looks good and delicious.

"I will judge for myself," Xiao Jue looked at the cakes that Qing Feng bought and seemed to like them very much. "Are they delicious?" His tone seemed to be doting, but he himself was unaware. Wen Jiu heard him say this and thought that he wanted to eat them. "You will know if you try it yourself."

Xiao Jue held a peach blossom-shaped dessert in her hand. Her mother seemed to also love plum blossoms. She wondered if she had ever tasted such a dessert...

Beijing

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you" Xue Zhan looked haggard

"My dear minister, you don't look well." Emperor Yuan could see that he had put a lot of effort into winning over the Chu family, and then he said to Little Li, "I'll bring you some ginseng later."

"Thank you very much for your grace, Your Majesty" Xue Zhan knelt down to express his gratitude

"Stand up and answer. What is the matter with this audience?"

"Your Majesty, the Chu family is willing to serve you." Xue Zhan spent all his energy, and finally the result was good.

"Oh? My dear minister, you have done a good job and you deserve a generous reward." Emperor Yuan was very happy. He didn't expect that Xue Zhan would pull the Chu family over. There were only two left of the four major families. It was obviously just one step away. Damn Fu Ruming, huh.

"I am not worthy of this position. The eldest son of the Chu family is just outside the palace. Your Majesty, would you like to see him?"

"Announce it!" Emperor Yuan waved his hand

"I have seen the emperor. Long live the emperor!" Chu Yinan knelt on the ground

"Stand up,"

Chu Yinan stood up. He was about the same height as Xiao Jue. He was imposing and had the dignity of a young man from an aristocratic family. This was different from Xiao Jue, and Emperor Yuan was very satisfied with him.

"Can you fight?" Emperor Yuan looked at Chu Yinan and asked

"I have been practicing martial arts since I was young, and I often travel around the world," Chu Yinan replied calmly.

"Okay, that's right. This time you will be responsible for escorting the food and grass, and then monitor whether anyone in the army has embezzled money. If there is any, report it at any time." Emperor Yuan's words clearly meant that he should monitor Xiao Xiang. Strictly speaking, it could be said that he was monitoring Xiao Jue, the prince.

"The people receive the order"

"Okay, get ready to leave today! I'm waiting for your news."

By the time Chu Tunan found out about this incident, about ten days had passed. She didn't understand why her elder brother, who hated the court so much, would drag the Chu family into this. She said goodbye to her uncle and decided to go over and see what was going on.

"They are so annoying. We are almost exhausted after walking all the way and still have to deal with them. However, they are becoming more lawless." Qinglong was about to curse as he looked at the bodies lying on the ground. Miss Wen had not taken any action since the last time at the inn. He, his master and the other two looked at Wen Jiu with a bit of resentment in their eyes.

"Don't look at me, hurry up, find a clean place, get something to eat, I'm hungry." With these three people, why would she tire herself out?

"Master will arrive in Xiaoxiang in one or two days," Qingfeng said while looking at the map in his hand.

"Okay, let's go forward and see if we can find a homestay or temple ahead."

"Yes"

The carriage moved forward slowly for about two quarters of an hour, and then I heard Qingfeng say, "Master, there is a dilapidated temple in front. We can stay there tonight." Finally, we didn't have to sleep in the tree.

"it is good"

Baizhi and Xuanling came down and quickly cleaned up for their young lady so that she could sleep comfortably at night. Qingfeng quickly lit the fire, and Baizhi and Xuanling took out the copper pot to boil water. Qingfeng and Qinglong went out hunting. The dry food in the car was almost eaten. Fortunately, Wen Xi also put the things he brought for her in the car, otherwise, he would have eaten it all in this month's journey. Wen Jiu was so hungry that he didn't want to move.

"Master, we hunted a few rabbits. We will have enough to eat tonight. Qinglong is processing them." Qingfeng also brought back a dozen wild fruits of different sizes. "Master, Miss Wen, please eat some fruits first. They are all washed."

"I don't want to eat it. Give it to Miss Wen."

"Thank you," Wenjiu said to Qingfeng, and ate the wild fruit. It was quite sweet.

Qingfeng replied, "You're welcome."

Qinglong handed a few processed rabbits to Qingfeng and asked him to roast them over the fire. Wenjiu watched as they smeared honey and seasonings on them. Wow, they really know how to enjoy themselves. Little did he know that Xiao Jue was also looking at Qinglong. Was he here for fun, eating in such a fancy way?

Qinglong was still happily thinking about giving his master extra points...

Soon the fragrance began to overflow, and Wen Jiu's mouth was about to flow out. He stared at the rabbits in the hands of the four of them.

Bai Zhi saw this and quickly said, "Miss, wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

Wen Jiu ignored her and continued looking at the rabbit. Xiao Jue sat on the railing at the entrance of the dilapidated temple. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Master, it's ready," Qingfeng handed him a rabbit. He took it and looked inside. The woman's voracious eating really surprised him. Was she that hungry? He shook his head and continued to eat. He thought to himself that Fu Yichen hadn't sent any more messages in the past month. He had a bad idea in his mind, but he suppressed the discomfort in his heart and said, "Let's get ready early today and try to reach Xiaoxiang City tomorrow morning. Don't stop along the way."

Qingfeng Qinglong replied "Yes"

Wen Jiu walked over and asked quietly, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Fu Yichen?"

"I don't know. I didn't receive a single letter along the way. I feel like something is wrong. We have to speed up tomorrow. There may be more tonight, and it may be worse tomorrow. After you finish eating, take a rest. Tomorrow is almost here, and those people won't let go easily."

"Okay." Wenjiu didn't want to be a hero. He took care of himself first. He turned around and went back to wash up with the two girls and go to bed. He would leave the rest to them. This month's journey was enough for Wenjiu to trust them. So he just took a good rest.

I heard the sound of fighting in a daze, opened my eyes smartly, and heard Xiao Jue's voice "Go to sleep, I'm here" Wen Jiu smelled the blood, Bai Zhi also smelled it and woke up

"You were shot by an arrow?" Wen Jiu asked him. "Bai Zhi, stop the bleeding quickly."

"I'm fine, it's just a minor injury, I'll let Qinglong bandage it later." Xiao Jue didn't care.
