After Chuan Shu died, the four apprentices turned black

Chapter 32 Don't Listen to Their Nonsense
Because time was too tight, they set off late at night.

But the arrangement of the itinerary is not too bad because of haste. On the contrary, the people of the zodiac signs are probably very skilled in dealing with similar things, and they prepared a series of needed things quite quickly.

When Yue Ying stepped into the carriage with a simple exterior but an extravagant interior, she couldn't help but marvel at the luxury of Yu Country.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary carriage at best, but inside it has everything you need. It can almost be regarded as a small mobile home. There are soft beds and tables. It is not a problem to eat and sleep, not to mention the exquisite and luxurious materials. The curtains and upholstery are very comfortable to the touch, and must be worth a lot.

The hardware is good, at least you don't have to work hard on the road.

Nangong Yuheng was used to all this, he gently took her hand and pulled her to the edge of the bed to sit down, then squatted down and knelt down on one knee to take off her shoes, as if he was doing a very ordinary thing.

Yue Ying was startled, and she shrank her feet to avoid his hand:

"What... what is this for?"

Although there was a bed inside, she knew she was going to sleep, but she was a little surprised that he took off her shoes so quickly.

The originally calm atmosphere became a little subtle, when Nangong Yuheng raised his eyes to look at her, probably because of the angle, his innocent expression looked like a big dog.

He explained sternly:
"Everything in the itinerary is simple, so I can't bring a personal maid to serve His Highness, so I can only wrong His Highness and let me serve you. It's getting late, Your Highness should go to bed, and I will call you when I get there."

Serving, what a normal word, but Yueying felt a little hot for no reason. The majestic master of the Yu Kingdom is willing to squat down and serve a subjugated princess. I am afraid that if outsiders hear it, their eyes will be shocked and they will shout "impossible".

The wheels of the carriage began to move forward, the coachman kept his ears to the outside of the window and concentrated on driving the carriage, he was Nangong's confidant, and he was the only person with him besides Yueying for this trip.

Nangong's explanation was very reasonable. Yueying couldn't find a reason to refute, but she didn't have the nerve to let him really help take off her shoes and put on her clothes. She waved her hands and whispered:
"No, no, I'll do it myself."

She quickly bent down to take off her shoes, then climbed onto the bed and obediently covered herself with the quilt.

Nangong didn't say anything, but withdrew his hand and stood up and sat on the soft seat on one of the two sides of the carriage.

Yueying suddenly realized something, sat up again and looked at Nangong who was always watching her.

"Is there anything else, Your Highness?" He asked softly.

Yueying: "What about you?"

"I?"

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

"Your Highness is inviting me to sleep with His Highness..." He looked thoughtfully at the empty seat beside Yue Ying. Although Yue Ying felt quite empty when she slept alone, it would be great if he also lay on it. It's not the same thing, it's probably crowded,

He really wants to...

"No!" Yueying quickly denied, and found that this trip was a bit serious. Even though she was inseparable all day long, she never shared a room with Nangong at night, but now she had to spend the day and night together in this narrow space, " I mean, what should you do then? Why don't I sleep for a while and let you sleep instead!"

She proposed a more appropriate way to deal with it.

"No need," Nangong shook his head, leaning on the table with one hand, resting his chin casually, his long black hair slipped slightly, covering most of his face, "If you go on the road alone, it's normal to not sleep for three days, your highness just take care of yourself .”

Yue Ying pursed her lips, expressing her displeasure at his behavior of not caring about her health, and after thinking about it, she lay down:

"Okay, then I'll go to sleep first, and I'll talk when I wake up."

She decided to sleep for a while to ensure that she would get up and replace him. After all, he was the main force on this trip, and she was just accompanying her, so she should ensure his condition, not to mention that as a master, he should take good care of his apprentice.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes.

"Your Highness, sleep peacefully, I'm here..."

His voice was like a gust of wind blowing, the flames in the carriage were extinguished suddenly, she felt sleepy for no reason, and fell asleep without any other consciousness in the next second.

In the dark night, Nangong enjoyed this rare moment without saying a word, then took a deep look at the quiet figure on the bed, smiled at the corner of his mouth, blocked the noise from the outside world with the wind wall, got up and walked out of the carriage.

"grown ups."

The "stable driver" driving the carriage saw him coming out, and said respectfully in a low voice.

"Well, we have to speed up the trip."

As Nangong said, he stood firmly on the seat, unaffected by the turbulence in the slightest. The sound of the wind blew his long hair flying.

"Yes." He responded, then raised his hand and whipped down the whip vigorously to drive the two steeds to speed up.

The horses neighed and strode forward desperately, even though they were pulling such a heavy carriage, they could not run freely. However, the speed suddenly increased in the next second, as if they had lost the shackles of the carriage behind them, and their running speed increased sharply.

The groom is used to this, and he knows that it is because the master of the state division has used the power of the wind to completely share the weight of the carriage, and the horses don't have to bear the weight behind them anymore, they just need to run as hard as they can.

He once again cast reverent gazes at Nangong, and lamented the power and convenience of the power bestowed by God.

Nangong didn't squint, looking at the blurry scenery passing by quickly on both sides. Even though this trip was dangerous, he was more comfortable than any time before when he went out of the palace to calm the chaos, just because there was his precious person in the carriage behind him, and she accompanied him. He, let him no longer have the feeling of loneliness of wandering alone, just like when it rained everywhere more than ten years ago, although it was hard and difficult, he was satisfied in his heart.

"Start the key plot and unlock the backtracking."

In a sweet sleep, Yue Ying heard the system prompt by surprise, and when she opened her eyes in surprise, she had already entered the backtracking.

"System, what's going on? Why did you suddenly enter backtracking?"

The system said honestly: "Report to the host, because the system detected that there will be a key plot in the future, which meets the requirements for entering the backtracking, so it is unlocked and entered the backtracking."

Yueying: "I've wanted to ask for a long time, what is the requirement to trigger backtracking?"

She previously thought that she needed to see important things and events related to memories to unlock backtracking. After all, the system would often prompt her to trigger key memories, but not every trigger of key memories would unlock memory backtracking, including this one. The trigger was even more inexplicable and irregular, so she overturned her previous guess and asked directly.

"Probably accumulating something related to memory, or has a strong plot node promotion, similar to a skill? Only when enough energy is accumulated can it be activated." The system tries to explain this principle in concise and understandable language.

Then added another sentence:
"The system is not very clear, this is just speculation within the known range of the system, the host, the system does not know much more information than you."

Yue Ying suddenly realized and nodded:

"So that's the case. What you said is quite reasonable. Of course I know that you don't know much more than me."

The performance of the system from the beginning let her know that this system is probably in the same state of "impaired memory" as her. It can only assist in completing tasks and cannot directly tell her too much, especially about the plot.

"But what do you mean when you say that there must be a key plot?"

"The system doesn't know either, it's just my instinct suggesting so."

"Okay." Yueying was helpless, but this was also a reminder to her. The arrival of the key plot meant that the progress of the task had to be further advanced. Anyway, if she couldn't die, it would be a big deal to start all over again.

She cheered up and looked around. This seemed to be the interior of another station house, but it was smaller and dilapidated than the previous one, probably because it was farther away from the imperial city, and the conditions of the station in remote areas were relatively poor.

It should still be on the way out of the palace to rain. Will the key plot happen inside or outside the memory recall?
She was a little nervous, so she could only get out of bed after getting dressed while admonishing herself to cover herself with water and earth.

Because it was already dawn outside, she vaguely heard the dog barking.

She wanted to open the dirty window to see what was going on outside, but she couldn't open it. She pushed hard with all her strength, and opened the window with a bang. She was blindsided by the blowing yellow sand , Seeing the desolation outside with difficulty, she closed the window in a panic after eating dirt all over her face.

At this moment, she finally understood why the window was so difficult to open, because it was not intended to be opened at all, and it was estimated that after construction, it was only for light rather than ventilation... After checking, she saw the wooden edge by the window that she deduced.

It's a sin, she's so strong, she broke the window of the house abruptly.

But this also made her wonder, is this still in the Yunze country? Why does it feel so barren, as if she has come to the wilderness.

"Master, I'm going to rain, do you want to rest or go together?"

Nangong's voice sounded vaguely outside the door, and he knocked on the door softly and asked.

Yue Ying strode over, swipe to open the door:
"Of course we went together!"

But she was startled at this glance, if Li Nangong was shorter than her in the first retracement, and the same height as her in the second time, then she would have to look up at him this time!
He has grown a lot taller, and his hair has grown longer. What is different from usual is that it is braided into complicated braids and draped behind his back. The scimitar, the handsomeness of a foreign prince.

Yueying's first reaction was nomads. His attire was very similar to those ethnic groups in her impression who were good at singing and dancing, and had outstanding fighting power.

But she still has that look on her body, which is different from his dress.

Perhaps noticing the surprise and doubt in her eyes, Nangong explained with some embarrassment:

"Master said yesterday that I was too tired to go to bed early, and they dragged me to a local banquet and made me like this... Does Master think it's strange?"

He touched his hair unaccustomed to it, and tugged at his clothes, waiting for Yueying's evaluation.

To be honest, he is very handsome, and his image is completely different from his usual appearance. Yue Ying took a closer look and commented objectively:
"I quite like it. It feels like you're just short of a handsome horse."

"That's good. They insisted on letting me wear it like this. They all said that men should be like this, and that they like it..." He coughed unnaturally, with unnatural blushes on the base of his ears and neck, "I'm still worried that Master will I feel weird."

"They?" At first, Yue Ying thought he was talking about Master Xu and the others, but seeing his strange reaction, there was a high probability it was not.

"It's those local women... Master, don't get me wrong, we have nothing but meat, and I don't drink alcohol..."

He panicked to explain, and spoke incoherently, with a tense expression, as if he had done something bad for fear of being reprimanded by Master.

Yue Ying narrowed her eyes, and asked casually:

"How long have we been away?"

"Ah?" He was slightly startled, a little confused about how the topic was changed, but he honestly did the math and replied, "About two years and June."

"It's been two and a half years..." Yueying nodded and sighed.

It's been two and a half years!But my heart was exclaiming.

No wonder this kid has grown so tall, she has to step on her feet to be as tall as him.

He has been out of the palace for so long, and according to the itinerary, he has indeed arrived at the border of Yunze Country, no wonder it is so desolate.

"It's been a long time, why did Master ask this?"

"You have indeed grown up..." She couldn't say in order to know what time it was, so she had to pretend to look at him profoundly, and said in a meaningful tone.

Nangong was silent for two seconds at first, and then he didn't know what was going on in his head, his face was reddened by the naked eye, and he completely lost his usual composure, shaking his head and waving his hands again and again:

"Master, you really misunderstood! I really didn't do anything, I swear! They insisted on..."

"Okay, no need to explain, I understand."

No, I don't understand. Yue Ying was very curious about what he experienced last night, but she acted as if she understood it before, so she couldn't ask further questions, so she had to stop the conversation to prevent him from continuing to explain in a panic:

"Let's go, it's time to rain."

"Master..." Nangong Yuheng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, pursing his lips uneasily. He felt that Master must have misunderstood him. He really wanted to explain clearly, but Master didn't seem to want to know very much. He had already taken the first step. Downstairs, he had no choice but to follow behind sullenly.

When Master Xu saw Yueying, he first cared about her body. Yueying guessed that she was not feeling well yesterday, so she went to bed early, which caused her to miss some lively events.

I also suffer from this body, but the life of a princess cannot enjoy the blessings of a princess. I travel around with a bunch of rough men every day. It is already great to be strong and not get sick.

Master Xu saw Nangong Yuheng behind her with a bad expression, and looked at the surrounding guards, and smiled subtly:
"Master Nangong, didn't you have a good time yesterday? So many beautiful girls circle around you alone, we really envy you!"

Several guards also laughed.

After getting along for more than two years, our relationship has changed from being distant and polite at the beginning to being close and natural. Even if we have different identities, we have long been like relatives and friends in this place where mountains are high and rivers are far away, and we can usually joke with each other.

Uncharacteristically, Nangong couldn't laugh at their jokes, and his expression became more serious:

"Don't make fun of me. I didn't do anything. Master, don't listen to their nonsense. Those women just make fun of me and dress me up like a toy. If I didn't want to have a good relationship with them, I would have died sooner or later." Just left."

Yue Ying blinked her eyes, and probably understood what happened.

Looking at Nangong Yuheng's handsome and serious face, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"It's really hard for you."
