Chapter XII
More than halfway through the drive, we have entered the hills.
The slow development of technology in this classical time and space has also allowed the growth of forests to flourish. At this time, the window is full of yellowed autumn leaves, stacked on top of each other, stirring and swaying by the wind coming and going, without a trace of the smell of smoke and dust in the world.
I peeked ahead, and Haixun and Jinyu were both asleep in their seats, while Zhang Mubai was yawning in the driver's seat. Looking at Zhang Mubai, I can't help it, he is the only one who can drive a car, but he was also the latest to play last night. I was worried that he was tired from driving, and he also took a shortcut to the rugged mountain path.
And Lan Muxi, who was behind him, kept looking at the scenery outside the window, not taking advantage of the time of the car to make up for sleep, nor trying to do anything, just staring at the quiet autumn scenery outside the car with those quiet pupils.
I touched Chen Yu on the side. At this time, Chen Yu wore a hat and pillowed his head on my shoulder, and a little crystal saliva still flowed from the corner of his mouth. This girl was really casual, she put her head on my shoulder without saying hello to me, and used the sentence "If you want me to help, don't move and let me pillow obediently" made me smile, silently adjusting her sitting posture to make her pillow more comfortable. But at this time, it is time to need Chen Yu, and Chen Yu should also wake up.
Chen Yu was woken up by me and looked confused, licked the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his tongue, and looked at me with a pair of eyes full of ignorance.
"It's time to do the light rain. Chen Yu listened to my words and said in a voice that was obviously angry to get up:
"Work and work and work, and there is no basic lunch break. "After listening to Chen Yu's words, I was amazed at this girl's ability to sleep. From 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. when she got on the bus, it turned out that this sleeping method was only a "basic lunch break" in her eyes. But Chen Yu couldn't resist me, so three minutes later, Chen Yu and I sat on both sides of Lan Muxi.
"Is there something wrong?" Lan Muxi was interrupted from looking at him, and his eyes showed puzzlement.
"Lord Inspector, can I ask you something?" Chen Yu took the question.
"Speak. Lan Muxi's tone was flat.
"Do you like Wei Lengluo?" "Poof, if I'm drinking water at this time, I'll definitely squirt out all the liquid. "Do you like Wei Lengluo?"
"Presumptuous. Lan Muxi's voice immediately changed. This subtle change immediately made me aware of something. Lan Muxi's tone was flat when he said that he liked Princess Yizi, obviously liking Princess Yizi was not something that could not be said, after all, he was innocent. But when it came to Wei Lengluo, he changed his attitude, could it be that this Wei Lengluo's identity was even more unattainable than the princess Yizi with the emperor's surname?
I quietly gave Chen Yu a thumbs up and motioned for her to continue.
"What's wrong with liking a princess, the court won't punish you for liking. Chen Yu didn't seem to see my gesture, and continued to speak purely because Lan Muxi had murdered her. I know that although this girl is well-behaved on the surface, she is actually very proud in her heart, this Lan Muxi should not murder her, and if she gets up, then she should not be murdered.
"You say the imperial court?" Lan Muxi spat out the word in a disdainful tone, and then shook his head slightly. His move made me furrow. How does it seem that in Mulan Xi's heart, the court is not worth being afraid of.
"You are the envoy of the Fucha family, and you are also the envoy of half of the imperial court. How to use this tone to talk about the imperial court. Chen Yu asked.
"It's me who shouldn't. Lan Muxi's words directly choked back the words prepared by Chen Yu, which made me stunned for a moment. I looked at Chen Yu, who was so angry that he didn't speak, hurriedly waved his hand, signaled that I would ask next, then sorted out my thoughts, and asked Mulan Xi:
"Lan Muxi, it could be that Wei Lengluo is not a member of the royal family. I looked at Lan Muxi and found that his eyes did not change in the slightest, and he already had an answer in his heart.
"You don't need to ask me about her. "Lan Muxi's mouth is very strict. Ignoring his stubbornness, I asked the second guess in my mind:
"I heard that there is a royal prince and nobleman who likes Wei Lengluo?" As soon as my words came out, I saw Lan Muxi looking at me with a stunned look. I had imagined Lan Muxi's reaction before, but I didn't expect him to be so surprised.
"Really?" I already had my guess in my mind.
"Please leave. Lan Muxi also seemed to realize that his expression had revealed too much information, and closed his eyes at the moment, as if we were not there.
"Lan Muxi, I know you like Princess Yizi. And I like Wei Lengluo. You once said that whoever hurts her will be killed. And the answer I gave to Wei Lengluo was the same. "Actually, I have never been in contact with Wei Lengluo at all, and I don't like it at all. But I just want to provoke Lan Muxi at the moment. Lan Muxi's body trembled slightly when he heard my words, but he didn't say anything.
I waved to Chen Yu and motioned to leave. I've got a lot of information so far, and it's worth it. When we walked back to our position, Lan Muxi behind me brought a word to my ears.
"Wei Lengluo is destined to be happy, you shouldn't be near her. I didn't understand the meaning of Lan Muxi's words, and when I looked back at him, he had already closed his eyes.
"Boss, this Lan Muxi is really strange. Chen Yu pointed to Lan Muxi beside me.
"Xiaoyu, what do you think of Wei Lengluo's identity?" I had many doubts in my heart at this time, so I asked Chen Yu.
Judging from Lan Muxi's reaction, there should be a royal nobleman who likes this Wei Lengluo, and that royal nobleman is very powerful. Chen Yu then said the answer that I was more inclined to. If that were the case, I would still know nothing about the royal nobleman. The only thing that can comfort me is that I have more information and help than going to the meeting alone without knowing anything.
The car has traveled a lot of distances. Chen Yu continued to rest on my shoulder, and I gradually fell asleep as I thought about it in the shaking of the drive.
A trip to the mountain road, a trip to the cool autumn.
I don't know how long it took, but I opened my eyes in the midst of the noise, and outside the car window, there was already a lot of noise. Like a bustling bazaar, bustling crowds crowd the streets. Horses and cars weave slowly through the road, sometimes making way for passing travelers.
"Boss, you're awake. Chen Yu was eating snacks, and the corners of his mouth were full of crumbs.
"Are you in Kyoto?" I asked.
"Kyoto is closed for some reason, so these foreign vendors are setting up stalls along the roadway. Chen Yu was holding a bottle of orange soda in his hand. There were also vendors holding snacks outside the car window and asking if we needed snacks.
"No need. "As soon as I turned down a vendor, I saw Chen Yu take a box of biscuits from the window, and the snacks in his hand were increasing. I said why there was a vendor following us outside the car, and it turned out to be such a gluttonous guy.
"Childe, you're awake, Kyoto seems to be closed today, and now the entire city is not accessible to vehicles. Maybe we're going to stay outside the city. Jin Yu walked over from the front of the car.
"Do you know why?" I asked, then looked at Jin Yu and shook her head at me. Eh, since Haixun came here, Jin Yu has been spending less and less time with me. I also don't know if they're already in a relationship. Since Jin Yu didn't explain it to me, I wouldn't have asked. After all, I don't have any careful thoughts about Jin Yu, I just hope that she can live the life she likes.
"Boss, do you eat orange cakes?" As soon as Jin Yu left, Chen Yu stuffed a box of pastries into my hand. This girl really has no resistance to food.
"Would you like to get out of the car with the boss later?" I said to Chen Yu.
"What are you looking at, boss, you won't have a crush on me, no, I like handsome guys. Chen Yu's words made me hold my forehead again and ponder.
"Am I not handsome?" I asked a profound question.
Chen Yu looked at me for a long time, and finally said, "Handsome is quite handsome, but you are the boss." ”
I can't follow the rhythm of her speech anymore, or I won't even be able to control the tone of my voice.
"Look, boss. Chen Yu's voice interrupted my thoughts, and I was surprised, and from her gaze, I saw a group of cavalry rushing here. The black armor armed the cavalry, and the horses beneath them walked vigorously as if they did not feel their weight. And in the middle of the cavalry procession, there were three carriages, the curtains of which were tightly closed, and it was impossible to see the inside from the outside. Only a big character on the curtain declares the dignity of the passengers, "Emperor".
