Tangled

"Since your Highness already knows, why bother to learn from that gossip woman, asking again and again."

If he doesn't open his mouth, it's all right, but if he opens his mouth, he will be mad at people.

Mu Chengze picked up the fan at his waist and fanned it, shaking his head and rolling his eyes at him.

"With your temperament, the cousin of the Shen family really suffered a hundred thousand grievances after following you."

"There's never a good word out of my mouth, so I'm just curious, is that the same way you talk to your cousin from the Shen family."

"If you talk to her like this, will you often make her cry, if not, what will you look like when you get along with her?"

He talked more and more, without any intention of stopping, Gu Tingshu threw off his whip, and drove away, leaving him with only a cloud of dust.

The dust raised by the horse's hooves made Mu Chengze's handsome face dirty, and he was so angry that he couldn't fan himself.

He closed his fan and chased after him with gritted teeth.

Well-fed sweathorses can travel thousands of miles a day, and they go fast all the way, and they have already traveled half of the distance in the afternoon.

When they arrived at a post station, the two of them stopped and had their horses taken to feed them.

Originally, the post station only received officials. Since Emperor Yuan ascended the throne, the post station began to receive all kinds of passers-by, so the two of them were not very conspicuous when they entered.

"Ashu, Brother Wei didn't bring any silver when he came out. It will be up to you when you pay the bill later."

Mu Chengze leaned on the counter, raised his eyebrows at the little woman who had just entered the door, and saw that she was shy and annoyed to avoid her, so he smiled and said to Gu Tingshu.

"The skin my brother is wearing is worth a few bucks. If you don't have money to pay the bill, you can use it to pay for it."

The two of them traveled lightly and did not bring a change of clothes. If the clothes were to go out, they would really have nothing.

Mu Chengze patted his palms with his fan, and shook his head helplessly, "Ah Shu is really ruthless."

"Treat my cousin in every possible way, but I don't even want to invite my brother for a meal."

"Oh, what's wrong with this world!"

He started to think about it again, Gu Tingshu ordered some food, then turned and went to the corner, not wanting to hear more.

He was obviously a man, but he was talking like a boudoir who had suffered countless tortures.

"Ashu, I've been riding for my brother for half a day, and I'm very tired. Why don't we open two upper rooms, take a shower and have a good sleep?"

"If you're tired, go and rest by yourself, but let me make it clear that I don't have any money to open a house for you."

"Ashu is really ruthless. Father gave you so many good things, but he didn't even give you a room for brother."

"Brother."

He suddenly yelled very seriously, as if he had encountered some danger, Mu Chengze put away the casual smile on his face, and straightened his waist.

"What's the matter?"

It's only half a day's journey away from Kyoto, those people won't be so anxious, let's start attacking them now, right?

If this is the case, then they are really rampant.

"You are really noisy."

----

After a brief silence, Mu Chengze patted the table with his fan, a little in disbelief, "Is this what you want to say?"

He said a few more words, so it can't be considered noisy.

"Brother is the only one who treats you like this. Not only do you not feel that Sansheng is lucky, but you also feel that you are making noise for brother. You are too dissatisfied."

"I can't bear this honor, brother, let's find someone else."

Seeing that he was so ignorant, Mu Chengze wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Xiaoer who was carrying the dish.

"Guests, be careful, this soup is boiling hot."

Now it's time for dinner, and the number of people in the store gradually increased, even though Mu Chengze still had a lot to say, he could only stop.

After eating and drinking enough, the two set off again, walking all the way to the mountain road, and when the night was getting darker, the two had already reached the boundary of Luocheng.

"Your Highness, there is an ambush in the bamboo forest ahead, and all of them have been subdued, and none of them survived."

When entering a bamboo forest, gusts of fresh wind blew the smell of blood, and the two stopped slowly.

Thirteen came out of the bamboo grove, made a report, and disappeared in an instant.

"The subordinates taught by Ashu are easier to use than the elder brothers. Before Lang Yi even made a move, he has already solved everything."

Gu Tingshu gave him a cold look, "It's even more important than these, so next time I encounter danger, I will trouble my brother to protect me."

What he said really made Mu Chengze feel what it means to "lift a rock and shoot himself in the foot". If he was really in danger, he would not be able to protect himself.

"Let's forget it, I don't have Ash's skill."

"Let's go."

The miasma is pervasive at night, and it is extremely dangerous, but the miasma can also make them hide better, misfortune and good fortune depend on each other, and what should go must go.

"Ashu, shouldn't you fill your stomach first before going in?"

As soon as the words were finished, the other party threw two dry steamed buns over. Looking at his expressionless face, Mu Chengze suddenly regretted coming out.

From lunch to now, he can be regarded as not having eaten a drop of water, and then just give him this?

Think of him as the grand prince, the prince of a country, what kind of stimulation has he come here to suffer.

"Walk while eating, and if the beasts come and go later, you won't be able to get in."

It was impossible to ride a horse in the dense forest, so Gu Tingshu got off the horse as he said that, untied the rein and patted the horse's head, letting it go back the same way.

Mu Chengze got off the horse with a dry steamed bun in his mouth, and when he was about to go in, the other party suddenly handed over a pitch-black pill.

"Detoxification pills, one pill a day."

The miasma is highly toxic, if you don't take medicine first, you will die inside within half a day.

The finger-sized pill was so bitter that he was about to vomit out bile, and Mu Chengze gnawed on steamed buns to relieve the pain.

After finally swallowing it down, and looking at the people next to him, they still had the same expression, as if they were taking ordinary pills.

"Ashu, if you still have this kind of pill in the future, can you let the imperial doctor take away the bitterness?"

"Let's go."

Gu Ting ignored him and walked in first.

The night was getting darker, and the cold wind blew past. Pieces of white smoke began to rise from the dense forest far away from the mountains. The white smoke came with the wind, and the birds that had been perched on the branches flapped their wings and walked away. Those who flew late were all stunned by the poison and fell down the tree.

Even though the two had taken the antidote, the miasma blowing from time to time still made it difficult for them to breathe when they were traveling through the dense forest.

It wasn't the miasma forest they walked in, the miasma was just blown by the wind, and it was so poisonous, if they entered the miasma forest, even pills would not be able to cure the poison.

Shuttle through the dense forest very quickly, and in the middle of the night, they finally reached the edge of the camp.

The two sides of the camp were separated by two mountains, and the miasma couldn't blow in, so the two breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing the faint sounds of military training coming from inside, Mu Chengze wanted to get closer, but was stopped by Gu Tingshu.

"what happened?"

"It's been a little bit smoother along the way."

Even if it is built in a deep mountain, it should not be patrolled by anyone.

Originally, he thought that all the patrolling people would be dealt with by his own people, but Shisan and Langyi didn't come out, probably because they were stopped by others.

The two looked at each other, and both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

"Oops."
