After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Xun Yu asked the Miao guard, "What was the Miao King wearing when he left?"

The chief guard of Miaojiang shook his head and said, "I don't know. The Miao king just said that he would go to the capital for a while and asked us not to follow him. No one saw him when he left."

Bai Yuwei sighed: "Why is he still like this? He always runs away alone, making it impossible for my brother and I to find him no matter how hard we try."

Xun Yu paused and said in a gentle voice: "It sounds like the Miao King is used to being alone."

Bai Yuwei said: "Yes, his whereabouts are secretive and no one can follow him."

Xun Yu was silent.

The old farmer we met on the way looked like an ordinary farmer, not a martial artist.

But Xun Yu was a cautious person. He found the postmaster and asked him for a carrier pigeon. He sent a message to the Prime Minister's Mansion by carrier pigeon, asking them to find the whereabouts of the old farmer.

"Everyone, since the Miao King has entered the capital, why don't you all go to the Prime Minister's Mansion with me and Miss Bai?"

Xun Yu sincerely invited the Miao guards to enter his mansion.

The chief guard of Miaojiang said, "The Miao King has ordered that we are not allowed to stay in any mansion without permission. Please forgive me, Master Xun."

Xun Yu looked at Bai Yuwei, but Bai Yuwei was not surprised by this decision and had no intention of forcing them.

This illustrates one thing - the Miao King has absolute authority in Miao territory, and no one, including his granddaughter, will question any of his decisions and orders.

Bai Yuwei said to the chief guard, "I'll send someone to pick you up once I find my grandfather!"

The chief guard responded: "Okay."

On the way back to Beijing, Xun Yu felt a little uneasy.

Bai Yuwei was so focused on looking for her grandfather that she didn't notice anything unusual about Xun Yu.

Xun Yu suddenly thought of Meng Qianqian. If she were here, she would have noticed his thoughts long ago.

The Miao King's granddaughter was indeed too well protected.

But this also happens to show that King Miao loves Bai Yuwei very much.

Well, even if he made a little mistake, King Miao should be able to just laugh it off for Bai Yuwei's sake, right?

"Miss Bai."

Xun Yu spoke softly.

Bai Yuwei retracted her gaze that had been looking outwards: "Master Xun?"

Xun Yu smiled and said, "It was too hot on the way here. I got a bit of heat stroke and my head is dizzy. If I miss the encounter with the Miao King because of this, I wonder if it will make the old man unhappy?"

Bai Yuwei said firmly: "My grandfather is the most generous, he won't bother with you!"

Xun Yu said: "I thought the Miao King would be very strict."

Bai Yuwei thought for a moment and said, "He is quite strict with my brother and never says a harsh word to me."

The reason why he is strict with Bai Qingchen is because Bai Qingchen is the future young master of Miaojiang.

It seems that this Miaojiang heir has nowhere to run.

Xun Yu's expression eased a little.

The situation is not as bad as I thought.

-

On the other side, Lu Yuan, Zong Zhengxi and the old farmer entered the capital.

The three of them found a restaurant that looked high-end and classy.

Unexpectedly, before I even entered, I was rudely kicked out by the waiter.

"Where did this beggar come from? Go, go, go!"

Zong Zhengxi was very angry: "We are not beggars!"

How could he, the king of a country, be humiliated like this?

The waiter rolled up his sleeves and said, "If you don't leave, I'll do it!"

"You dare? I——"

Lu Yuan covered his mouth and said, "Let's go."

"Oooooooo-"

Zong Zhengxi flapped his arms and struggled.

Only after they walked away did Lu Yuan let him go.

Zong Zhengxi was furious: "Why are you stopping me?"

Lu Yuan glanced at him.

Zong Zhengxi thought about how he almost let the cat out of the bag, and curled his lips in resentment: "Do we really look like beggars?"

Lu Yuan: "What do you think?"

Among the three of them, one was an old farmer, one was wearing cloth clothes and straw sandals for working, and although Zong Zhengxi had changed back into the brocade clothes he wore when he left the palace, he was already covered in mud after rolling around in the fields twice, and there were two big cuts on his sleeves.

Among the three, he is the one who looks most like a beggar.

The old farmer shook the straw hat in his hand and said, "Oh, the capital is so big, there is more than just that one restaurant, let's go somewhere else!"

The three of them searched several restaurants and finally one let them in. However, they were only given a seat in the very corner, near the kitchen, which was very hot.

Zong Zhengxi was quite dissatisfied: "Why is it like this?"

The old farmer said cheerfully, "As long as it tastes good, it doesn't matter where you sit! Waiter! Bring us all the delicious dishes from your restaurant!"

The waiter looked at the three people doubtfully: "Do you have any money?"

The old farmer threw him a silver ingot.

The waiter took it in his hand, bit it with his teeth, and his attitude changed instantly: "Gentlemen, wait a moment, I'll be right there!"

Soon, a table full of delicious dishes including candied pork elbow, steamed sea bass, roast chicken with mushrooms, and crispy roast goose were served.

The waiter smiled and said, "Enjoy your meal, sir!"

Zong Zhengxi swallowed hard but didn't pick up his chopsticks immediately.

Whenever he ate in the palace, someone would test him for poison. This was the rule and also a habit ingrained in him.

The old farmer raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you guys are not even using your chopsticks, I'll eat first!"

He picked up a piece of soft and sticky pork elbow skin: "Delicious!"

He pulled another chicken wing: "It's great!"

Lu Yuan also picked up some dishes, tasted them one by one, and said to Zong Zhengxi, "Eat."

Zong Zhengxi buried his head in eating!

He was so starving that he felt he could eat a cow.

The old farmer said earnestly: "Young man, eat slowly."

Zong Zhengxi glanced at the three empty bowls beside him and said, "You've already eaten three bowls of rice, how dare you ask me to eat slowly?"

The three of them had enough to eat and drink.

The waiter stepped forward with a smile and said, "Sir, the total is two hundred and thirteen taels."

The old farmer asked, "What do you mean two hundred and thirteen taels?"

The waiter said, "It's the meal money."

The old farmer asked, "Didn't you pay for the meal?"

The waiter was surprised: "When did you give it to me?"

The old farmer glanced at his purse: "Silver ingots!"

The waiter was startled: "That... isn't that a reward for me?"

The old farmer said loudly: "Who said it was a reward for you? That was the money for this meal!"

The waiter's face immediately darkened: "Are you kidding me? You want a full banquet for five taels of silver?"

The old farmer crossed his legs and said, "I gave it to you anyway!"

The waiter pulled his sleeves and said through gritted teeth, "You're not paying for the meal, right?"

Lu Yuan said calmly: "Go to the Governor's Mansion and someone will settle the bill for you."

The waiter laughed coldly: "The Governor's Mansion? Do you think you are the Grand Governor?"

Zong Zhengxi opened his mouth and said, "How about you go to the palace?"

The waiter was even more disdainful: "The palace? Do you think you are the emperor?"

Just as the old farmer was about to speak, the waiter confronted him, "I'm warning you, no one can leave without paying!"

Zong Zhengxi frowned, not knowing what to do for a moment.

The old farmer looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

Lu Yuan stood up indifferently and said to the waiter, "Do you know who I am?"
