It was as if his body was made of iron.
Mo Ruo staggered, his body swaying. His eyes narrowed into slits as he sat down on the smooth boulder. He leaned back and lay on it.
"Ah! It's so comfortable. "
He dragged out the word.
He looked like a lazy person!
Sometimes, Ji Yunshu thought that he drank wine almost all the time. The one thing he didn't lack was wine. It was as if she would never know if he was sober or drunk.
It was said that drinking wine was harmful to the body, but not only was Mo Ruo unharmed, he was as healthy as ever.
It was as if his body was made of iron!
Suddenly, Mo Ruo turned around and asked Ji Yunshu, "What are you women thinking?"
"Why do you ask?"
She didn't understand.
Why would he ask this out of the blue?
Mo Ruo opened his squinted eyes and intentionally glanced at Tang Si who was in the distance.
Oh!
I understand now.
Ji Yunshu's lips curled into a smile. She picked up a dried branch from the ground and poked it into the scattered stones, raising a cloud of dust.
"Then you should ask Young Master Mo yourself. You travel the world all year round and know at least dozens of women, if not hundreds. How can you not understand a woman's heart and ask me instead?"
"Yes, I understand a woman's heart, but …" He looked at Tang Si again and shuddered. He said in disdain, "Can she be considered a woman?"
"No wonder Miss Tang wants to go against you."
You deserve it!
"Did I say anything wrong?" Mo Ruo sat up and bent his legs. He rested his elbows on his knees, looking like he was about to have a long talk. "Teacher Ji, don't you think it's strange? My temperament is considered good, right? I never compete with others, and I treat women extremely well. But, didn't she save my life? What? Do I owe her for the rest of my life? You don't know that my knees are still bruised. What's more, she caused trouble in Mingshan Academy. If I didn't help her, she would still be packing up her things there. Even if she had a life, she should have paid off the debt. But look at her. She's always cold and indifferent. She's always giving me a cold shoulder. Don't you think it's hard? "
A wave of grumbling!
Ji Yunshu, on the other hand, was amused. She pursed her lips and smiled.
Is this guy stupid? Miss Tang isn't putting on a show for him, she's clearly... hehe.
Mo Ruo replied, "I say, Teacher Ji, it's fine if you don't sympathize with me, but why are you smiling now? I just wanted you and Jing Rong to spend more time together. That's why I made myself suffer and dragged her along with me. I'm sacrificing myself to help the two of you. You should at least say a few comforting words to me."
You're really sacrificing yourself for the greater good!
But Ji Yunshu didn't want to accept it. She was teased by Jing Rong every time. She would rather ride with Tang Si. It would be more lively along the way.
She smiled faintly, "Didn't Young Master Mo notice that Miss Tang isn't ignoring you, but has other intentions?"
"Other intentions?"
"You're such a blockhead!" Ji Yunshu said and looked at him squarely, "Let me ask you. Did you do something to her? Did you make her blush? "
"Well..." Mo Ruo thought for a moment and nodded, "I did, but it's a small matter."
His words were light.
Didn't he just touch her two lumps of flesh? Every woman has it!
Ji Yunshu didn't want to explain too clearly, nor did she want to ask too much. She only said, "Young Master Mo, you should think about it yourself."
Think about it my ass!
He waved his hand, "Who cares. I'll send her away when we reach Yufu."
Then, he leaned back and lay on the big rock.
It was so comfortable.
Ji Yunshu was still picking at the ground with the twig in her hand until Jing Rong walked over and sat beside her.
"Is it fun?"
"Yes."
"Then let's play a little longer."
Ah!
Then, Jing Rong didn't care that he was a prince and leaned back to sleep with Mo Ruo on the big rock.
Two living salted fish!
And the kind that can turn over.
Only after the sun had set did everyone set off.
By the time they arrived at Yufu County, it was already late at night.
Yufu County wasn't a wealthy county. Because it was located in the northernmost part of the country, it was always plagued by disasters and was considered one of the poorest counties in the Great Lin.
That was why the imperial court distributed disaster relief funds to the county.
On both sides of the narrow street, there were occasionally lanterns hanging outside the houses. The lanterns were not bright and were swaying in the breeze. There were even a few broken lanterns that had fallen to the ground. When the candlelight was extinguished, the lanterns were blown away by the wind and rolled onto the street.
Because it was late at night, it looked very strange.
At first glance, it looked like a dilapidated city.
There was no one on the street except for one or two old night watchmen who passed by.
When he saw a group of carriages and horses entering the city at night, the old night watchman stopped and looked at them curiously.
This group of people were dressed extraordinarily, especially the carriage in front. It was obviously the carriage of a wealthy family. It was very luxurious.
In the old man's eyes, it was like an emperor going on an inspection tour.
Of course, he had never seen an emperor go on an inspection tour. He had only heard a few words from storytellers.
But why would anyone enter the city at night?
Yufu County was a place where birds didn't lay eggs. It wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. Outsiders rarely came here. Who were these people?
The old man scratched his head but couldn't figure it out. He could only beat the drum in his hand and continue to sound the night watchman.
Lang Po rode in front and surveyed the surroundings. Then, he raised his hand and signaled for everyone to stop.
He rode to Jing Rong's carriage and said, "Your Highness, do you want to find an inn to stay or go to the yamen?"
After a while, Jing Rong's cold voice came from the carriage. "Let's go to the yamen. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Lord Zuo won't be able to sleep tonight."
"Yes!"
Lang Po led the group to the yamen.
Different from the desolate and strange atmosphere on the streets, the yamen was brightly lit.
At the main entrance, a yamen runner was squatting on the ground, dozing off. Another runner was leaning against the door frame, resting with his eyes closed.
"Horse!"
The sound of horses galloping!
The two yamen runners were jolted awake.
"What's the matter?"
The two were very vigilant. The first thing they did when they opened their eyes was to place their hands on the hilt of their sabers, preparing to draw them.
When they saw the group of people outside the yamen, they suddenly realized what was going on.
"Your … Your Highness is here?"
One of the runners quickly poked the other runner and whispered, "Quick, quickly go and inform Lord Zuo."
"Oh, yes … yes …"
The runner stumbled away.
Jing Rong and the others dismounted. It was indeed a little cold in the middle of the night!
He scanned his surroundings. This Yufu yamen was quite impressive.
The runner quickly came up to him and bowed. "Greetings, Prince Rong."
He raised his hand. "No need to bow. Where is your Lord Zuo?"
"Lord Zuo …"
Before he could finish, a voice came from the other side of the gate. "This lowly official greets Prince Rong."
