Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

I don't know when the wind started to blow, making the hot air during the day a little cooler and more humid.

When Yao Jun changed his clothes and came to the courtyard, Chen Xi was the only one left in the yard.

Yao Jun moved a small chair and sat opposite Chen Xi. He poured himself a cup of still warm tea, took a sip, and asked, "Why are you alone?"

Chen Xi: "Grandpa went to bed. I asked Xiao Luo to go upstairs."

After saying that, Chen Xi yawned and continued in a daze, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly. I'm so sleepy."

Yao Jun put down the teacup and chuckled a few times. He could tell that Chen Xi was pretending and that he had something to tell him, otherwise he would not have prepared a wine bowl and a small plate of pork head on the table.

However, he had no intention of exposing her and was happy to accompany her in pretending to the end.

Chen Xi glanced at him in dissatisfaction: "What are you laughing at?"

"Did I laugh?"

Yao Jun thought about how he had laughed a few times just now, and continued to laugh: "Oh, yes, I laughed when I thought about some interesting things at the banquet today."

Chen Xi leaned back in the chair, crossed his arms, and said in a sleepy tone, "I'm so sleepy. Tell me what's going on."

Yao Jun straightened his face and said, "I'm leaving."

Chen Xi was shocked, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. He leaned forward and asked anxiously, "When?"

"We'll leave once we're ready. It'll probably take two or three days."

Yao Jun picked up a piece of pork head meat and put it into his mouth, then said, "I am here to ask you, do you want to follow me or go back to Yao Country directly?"

Chen Xi frowned: "What's the difference?"

Yao Jun: “That’s a big difference.”

Yao Jun lifted his red robe, picked up the wine bowl on the table, looked at the turbid wine inside and said, "Follow me, I have to go to Yujing first, and then I can return to Yaoguo after I finish my business."

"If you want to go directly to Yao Country, I will send someone to escort you back. It will be safer and less worrying. But I'm not around, and I'm afraid you'll miss me."

Chen Xi snorted and said with some disdain, "Narcissism."

Although she said this, she did feel uncomfortable when she thought about separating from Yao Jun. She couldn't describe the feeling, a little uneasy, and a little... attached?

Chen Xi sat up straight and shook his hands in disgust, thinking that he was overthinking. How could he possibly be attached to this ugly bad guy in front of him?

Yao Jun drank a sip of wine soup and asked with concern: "Are your hands numb?"

"There's a nasty mosquito that keeps buzzing and it's really annoying." Chen Xi was carrying a mosquito repellent sachet, so how could there be a mosquito?

Yao Jun obviously knew this, and after a moment's silence, he pretended not to know and said, "This mosquito is really annoying, isn't it?"

Chen Xi nodded heavily, gave Yao Jun a look that said "you are very self-aware", and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily.

Yao Jun put down the wine bowl, leaned back casually, crossed his legs, tilted his head and stared at Chen Xi for a while, then smiled and said, "It seems that this mosquito is quite capable and has even gotten into your heart."

Chen Xi's face froze, and he glared at him fiercely, saying angrily: "I wish I could slap it to death, it's really bothering me!"

In his heart, Chen Xi had already started slapping that damn mosquito from both sides.

Yao Jun raised his eyebrows, realizing that Chen Xi had bad intentions, but he was not angry. After all, he still had a place in her heart.

I just don't know how high this position is and how much weight it occupies.

"Let's get back to the topic. What's your decision?" Yao Jun looked at Chen Xi with shining eyes. He naturally liked her to follow him.

Chen Xi fell into deep thought. If she were alone, she would definitely choose to go to Yujing to have a look, but there was also her grandfather. He was old and could not stand the hard work.

"I need to think about it." Chen Xi said.

Yao Jun nodded: "Okay, but you have to hurry up. We have to leave in three days at most."

Chen Xi knew that time was tight, and Yao Jun also had to bid farewell to the king, so there would definitely be a farewell banquet, so after thinking about it, he told Yao Jun about his concerns.

"My grandfather is old, and I'm worried that he might be tired from the journey."

Yao Jun nodded. After investigation, he knew that during the more than one year since Chen Xi traveled through time, it was Old Man Chen who helped her through the initial adaptation period. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for her to survive safely until now.

Therefore, the relationship between Chen Xi and Grandpa Chen is like that of a real grandfather and grandson, even better than that of a real granddaughter and daughter, after all, there is the factor of repaying a favor.

How could I not take care of such a loyal, strong and unyielding fellow villager?

Yao Jun is not stupid. Even if he is a fellow villager who traveled through time, if he has bad character, he will not take such good care of him. He may even imprison him and drain the knowledge from his brain to eliminate the trouble forever.

Fortunately, the system is very powerful, and the Chen Xi sent to accompany him is a person who is worthy of recognition in terms of appearance, character and ability.

[This system reminds the host again that Chen Xi's time travel has nothing to do with this system! ! ! ]

Yao Jun ignored the system prompts in front of him and only believed what he wanted to believe. No matter what it said, it had nothing to do with him.

Yao Jun narrowed his eyes, licked his lips, and said, "Old man can go to Yujing with us."

There was no navigation in this era, and maps were difficult to obtain even for ordinary nobles, so Chen Xi did not know the locations of the various vassal states, and Yao Jun was also aware of this.

"The capital of Chen State is in the southeast of Yujing. If we ride fast, we can get there in seven days. But we are traveling with a large army. I am bringing cavalry with me this time, so they are still very fast. It will only take about 20 days."

"Hongcheng, the capital of Yao Nation, is a little further away from Yujing, but it doesn't take that long. A fast horse can reach the city in three days, or about 10 days for cavalry. Do you know why?"

Hongcheng is farther away from Yujing, but it can be reached faster. In this era, there is only one possibility.

"The road is easier to travel on." Chen Xi said with certainty.

"clever."

Yao Jun nodded approvingly and continued, "That's right, it's because Yao Country built straight roads. These straight roads now connect all the cities in Yao Country, as well as Yujing."

"Although the distance from Chen Country to Hongcheng seems short, the road is not easy to travel. Even for a small team, it will take more than a month."

"Besides, the road is not safe. If we take a detour through Yujing, it will actually take about the same amount of time, or even faster. There are also many post stations along the way, so it is very safe."

Yao Jun drank some wine soup to moisten his throat, looked at Chen Xi and continued: "Even if I send someone to escort you back to Yao Country first, the route is actually the same, but if there are fewer people, the speed will be faster."

"After entering the direct jurisdiction of Daji Yujing, we will take another route instead of heading to Yujing, which can save two or three days."

After Yao Jun's explanation, Chen Xi completely understood. If she wanted to go to Yao Country earlier, she might have to go separately from Yao Jun. The journey was actually similar, the only difference was the length of time required.

This is an easy choice. Since the distance is similar, let's talk about it after we arrive at Daji Yujing's direct jurisdiction.

After Chen Xi thought it through, he said to Yao Jun, "I'll go with you guys first and talk about it after we enter Yujing's direct jurisdiction."

"Okay, it depends on your choice." Yao Jun said with a smile.

Then he leaned forward and asked, "I've finished my business, it's your turn."

Chen Xi's face turned slightly red, and she embarrassedly twisted the long hair beside her ears.

"You can see it."

Yao Jun pointed at the drinks on the table and smiled, but did not answer.

Chen Xi blinked: "It's nothing serious, I just want to consult you about something."

Yao Jun made a gesture of invitation.

"What do you want to know?"

"Tell me everything you know!"
