The imperial capital located in the central part of Sheng Kingdom is short in winter and long in summer. The weather has warmed up in late February, and the willow branches have sprouted. However, the prefecture where Chu Xian and the others are going is located on the northeast border where the winter snow has not yet melted. Based on the principle of being prepared, I still prepared thick clothes such as jackets and big coats, and then I was afraid that I would not sleep well on the Chuxian road, so I even brought two beddings, plus various odds and ends, until the clothes were packed. The carriage with luggage was so full that it stopped.

When Chu Yue entered Chu Xian's yard in the morning, what he saw was such a carriage, and An Sheng who was checking with the eunuchs with a checklist beside the carriage. With the luggage of my two soldiers, it was only a few bags that were sent to Chuxian Courtyard, and the six guards who walked with them on Ming Road had similar luggage, but there were no other miscellaneous items in the carriage right now. Things, there are eight half-person-high thin wooden boxes, how many things did his seventh brother and An Sheng pack?And looking at the carriage with people next to it, it seems that there is no shortage of stuff.

"Uh... I said Zhuo Ren, we don't need to bring so much, do we?"

Chu Yue curiously leaned over to look at the list in An Sheng's hand, and was embarrassed by the long list of item names on it. From clothes and bedding to Chu Xian's favorite snacks, An Sheng was in the same decline, even barbecue grills and All the seasonings are ready...

In fact, they are not on business, but travel, right?

"There are snowy roads in the north that are difficult to walk on. The round-trip journey will take a month. There must be many inconveniences along the way. Besides, I don't know how long it will take to investigate the case. The weather there is dry, cold and windy. I am afraid that everyone is not used to living there. Or It’s good to be prepared.”

An Sheng was also a little embarrassed by Chu Yue's eyes. He couldn't help explaining a few more words when he answered. In the high-tech era that can travel all over the world, it is really difficult to go out in ancient times.

In terms of transportation, it’s not a big deal for Ansheng and the others to have an official road to go. What’s hard is that the material conditions during the whole process are not guaranteed, especially their destination is still a hard-hit area. Although it is a prefectural city, the environment after the disaster is there. It is the nature of private visits on microservices. To avoid suspicion, you can't get involved with local officials, so naturally you have to rely on yourself in life.

An Sheng knew very well how pampered his little leopard was, but he couldn't bear him to suffer a little bit, so things became like this.

"We're on an errand according to orders, won't it look too... squeamish?"

Although Chu Yue felt that An Sheng's words were quite reasonable, seeing how he stuffed the luggage carts was not enough, and added things to keep warm and enjoy in the two carriages with people, His Highness the Eighth Highness still felt a bit exaggerated. This business is full of men. , how can it be so delicate?

Chu Yue stayed in the army for more than a year. Although he didn't really experience the life of ordinary soldiers, he also wore out a lot of his pampering habits. In my mind, everyone was riding horses all the way in a cool and unrestrained manner, so An Sheng's well-prepared appearance made His Highness the Eighth Prince feel... quite spoiling the atmosphere.

"Your Highnesses are distinguished, so what's the point of bringing more luggage when you go out? Besides, we are taking the official route all the way, so bringing this little thing will not affect the speed, and it doesn't matter if you don't need it. If it is because of lack of preparation, let the two It's really not worth it for His Highness to endure hardships on the way."

Having seen the luxury of the royal family of Sheng Kingdom for a long time, An Sheng felt that he was already low-key enough. He didn't see that the carriages were all old and simple in appearance, without any extra decorations?

As for the contents inside, An Sheng also prepared all their daily necessities, without any misleading luxuries that could be given as gifts. After thorough investigation, even if there are other people's eyeliners in the accompanying guards besides the emperor, there is no way to find fault in this aspect.

"Oh……"

Chu Yue himself has no travel experience. Seeing that An Sheng arranged everything in an orderly manner, he agreed and stopped talking. Then, thinking that An Sheng did all this for Chu Xian, His Royal Highness could not help but compare his home. The current situation, the original high interest due to travel immediately dissipated more than half.

"It's almost ready, His Highness the Eighth Prince, go sit in the room first, and have breakfast right away."

The little eunuch in the room came to ask after the order, and after An Sheng answered him, he pretended not to notice that Chu Yue's smile had faded, and greeted him casually.

"Okay, then you are busy."

Chu Yue was no stranger, after patting An Sheng on the back, he walked into the house, and as soon as he entered, he saw Chu Xian turning into the living room from behind the screen, he clearly just woke up and finished washing.

"Is everyone here?"

Chu Xian wore a plain gown similar to An Sheng's, and his hair was simply tied with a jade belt, but it was different from An Sheng's refined and elegant temperament. , full of style of aristocratic son.

"Well, I'm already waiting outside... Tsk, how virtuous, Seventh Brother is really lucky."

After sitting down on the chairs with Chu Xian, Chu Yue raised his chin towards the outside, and sighed with half envy and half joking.

This time they are on a mission, their main purpose is not only the big case, but also to know the details of the disaster area. This is to avoid local officials, so the identities they used on the way are three aristocratic sons and daughters. Traveling with the guards and servants, and Chu Yue's appearance, belongs to the type of both civil and military skills.

"..."

The word Xianhui directly hit His Highness Seventh's itching spot, he glanced out the door a little guilty, and saw that An Sheng was in the yard with his back to their direction without noticing, so he secretly rejoiced that he didn't object Chu Yue's words.

The Seventh Highness did not hesitate to name An Sheng in order to bind An Sheng. They can be happy with this matter, but they must not reveal the slightest bit from the outside. The elder brother took the whole picture. As for letting Regina and Chu Yue witness their bond, it was just to show his attitude. It was related to the dignity of the royal family. Chu Xian did not hand over such a big deal to Regina, the future Empress Saint Rollei. So at this moment, seeing that Chu Yue took their relationship for granted, His Royal Highness would not be happy if he misunderstood him, so naturally he would not explain it.

"It's all ready, Your Highness, please have a meal."

As soon as An Sheng entered the door after finishing the matter, he saw the two brothers sitting on the main seat and wandering their minds, and the meal was already set on the dining table next to them, so he took the wet cloth towel handed by the eunuch to wipe his hands, and greeted them. Two words.

"Well, eighth brother please."

Hearing this, Chu Xian stood up, and after giving way to Chu Yue, they entered the table together. Then, out of some cautious thoughts, under the envious eyes of his eighth younger brother, His Highness the Seventh Prince let An Sheng arrange for him indifferently. Picking fishbone in vegetables further confirms someone's virtuous 'reputation'.

"..."

An Sheng also noticed a little disharmony in the atmosphere. After asking Chu Xian with his eyes and getting a response that nothing happened, he only thought that Chu Xian was in a good mood because he went out, and Chu Yue was still worried about his own house. He didn’t think much about it, so he continued to feed his little leopard. He ordered the chef to cook this fish specially, and he couldn’t eat this special fish when he was away from home...

After leaving Beijing, An Sheng and the others headed all the way to the northeast. In the first few days, everyone was in high spirits, and everything they saw was fresh. Even if they missed the post station and slept in the wild, because there were three carriages for everyone to rest, they could also hunt, barbecue and fish. Yes, everyone didn't find it hard, but after leaving the province where the imperial capital is located, the road conditions got worse, the weather turned cold, and the life of the poor people they met on the way made everyone feel somber. The exhaustion of the long journey was reflected, and when they entered the province where their destination was located, Chu Yue had already fallen ill due to acclimatization.

"Ah...Zhuo Ren, thank you for being here."

The originally handsome and strong Eighth Prince lost a lot of weight in just a few days. Now he is lying in the rickety carriage wrapped in a quilt, with only one wrist exposed to check An Sheng's pulse. It is really pitiful no matter how you look at it.

Chu Yue didn't know why he was so unlucky, but he just looked at the heroic scenery of the North Country and ran against the wind for a while, but he developed a fever that night, and white bumps like rice grains appeared on his face, which was painful and painful. It was itchy, and then he started vomiting and diarrhea again, but he was tortured and destroyed. Fortunately, An Sheng's medical skills were superb, and he was saved by taking a few medicines externally and internally, but after such a toss, his vitality was indeed depleted. , The conditions on the road are difficult, so I can only recuperate slowly.

"His Royal Highness has said this sentence more than ten times."

An Sheng gently pressed Chu Yue's wrist with his fingertips, and glanced at the big boy in the roll when he heard this, and was amused by his frowning expression.

Speaking of which, An Sheng really did not prepare anything in vain before leaving the house. They really had a hard time walking all the way, especially after entering the disaster area, they almost brought their own food, clothes, bedding, and a warm carriage. If it comes in handy, otherwise, like Chu Yue, who suddenly fell ill halfway, he may suffer more or more crimes.

"No matter how many times I say it, I can't thank you enough, isn't it, I'm all well now, don't I need to drink porridge anymore?"

After An Sheng's consultation, Chu Yue put his hands back into the quilt and wrapped himself up a little more tightly. He really wanted to get well soon, and let a person like him eat porridge and vegetables for three days in a row. It's unbearable torment!

"The eighth prince, who is commanding the army to handle the case, looks like a child who wants candy. If you let the lieutenant general see you like this, even if you take out the imperial edict soldier amulet, no one will be willing to listen to you."

Chu Xian was sitting next to An Sheng wrapped in a thick cloak. Seeing that Chu Yue was close to An Sheng with a flattering face, he was a little unhappy and put up his elder brother's airs and scolded him. Yue, how could it be possible that the Seventh Highness is not jealous?

"Seventh Brother..."

Chu Yue wanted to say that this person was too jealous, but he thought that he was relying on the couple now, just so that An Sheng could loosen his forbidden password earlier, so that he could not offend his seventh brother, So His Highness the Eighth Prince could only curl his lips secretly, and then continued to nest in the quilt and pretend to be a silkworm chrysalis.

"Today is not enough, but when we arrive at Lord Yu's place in the evening, His Highness should have a good night's rest, and tomorrow will be fine. Besides, we have to rest in this prefecture for three days, and His Highness should be all right by then."

After Chu Xian opened his mouth, An Sheng poked his hand in from under his cloak, and only opened his mouth leisurely after receiving the stare from the other party who gritted his teeth.

The city affected by the disaster that they will arrive in the afternoon is the place where Yu Pan, the inspector censor, lives now. It is only four days away from the city where the crime occurred.

"Yu Pan..."

The bright and handsome face beside the campfire suddenly appeared in his mind, Chu Yue's eyes could not help but flicker, and he murmured the name of that person in a low voice with emotion.

After the spring hunt two years ago, when Yu Pan left Beijing to take up his post, Chu Yue never had a chance to see this man again. Years ago, old man Yu was seriously ill and he returned to Beijing to fulfill his filial piety. Han Dong rushed to the border province... I don't know how this person is now?
