Chapter 017: Hurry

Because he only rested for a while and wanted to continue his journey, Xia Yi casually found an inn that looked better and asked for two upper rooms.

Mu Qingge instructed Su Mu to buy a few sets of ready-to-wear clothes, and after a few people dressed up, they went to knock on Xia Yi's door.

Xia Yi didn't have the habit of taking a nap, and when she opened the door and saw the dress of Mu Qingge and the others, she was stunned.

"Cousin Yi, can you go in and talk?" Mu Qingge smiled, but it was a man's salute.

"Of course, you can." Xia Yi came back to his senses and hurriedly got out of the way, but he couldn't take his eyes off.

I didn't expect Mu Qingge to be such a beautiful girl dressed as a man, but she had a heroic spirit, not feminine at all, and she was young, so she had no flaws at all. I just don't understand why they're dressed like this?

"Cousin Yi, let's go to Wucheng, I'm afraid we will have to go for ten days, right?"

"It's hot now, I can't go fast, and I won't be able to get there in ten days." Xia Yi replied without thinking about it, and when he came, he walked alone for ten days.

"That's it. I think about a few of us, just you as a man, and sometimes I can't take care of it. Girls go out and have a lot of inconvenience. So, we just dressed up in men's clothes, it should be a lot more convenient, right? Mu Qingge said the reason why he was dressed as a man, but it was in a tone of discussion.

Xia Yi only brought a small servant to the capital, but now he sent the little servant back to report the news, and he was the only man left.

Xia Yi was still wondering if Mu Qingge doubted her ability, but when she heard her say this, she was relieved, and said with a smile: "Cousin, you are young, no one can see if you are a man." But these two girls can't do it, they miss the stuffing as soon as they speak and move. Anyone with a little experience can see that the two of them are women, and it is better to change back to women's clothes, so as not to think that we have bad intentions. ”

This is very reasonable, hiding one's true face will always give people a feeling of emptiness. Moreover, Mu Qingge was also weak-hearted, although there was little chance of meeting Shang Qirui, but what if? Thinking about the time when they met on the street that day, Su Mu and Poria were not by their side, presumably people like Shang Qirui would not notice these two maidservants.

"What Cousin Yi said makes a lot of sense, but I was negligent. Let's go back and change back into women's clothes. ”

The two girls were uncomfortable in men's clothes, and when they heard this, they immediately ran back to change their clothes.

"Cousin Yi, I think we can hurry faster." Mu Qingge pondered and said, "My body actually doesn't look weak, on such a hot day, it's not good to rest in a hurry, it's better to rush to Wucheng early and have a good rest." ”

Although it makes a little sense, Xia Yi is still not very relieved, Mu Qingge has been sick for so many years, but he knows it. If there is a good guy, how can he take this responsibility?

"Cousin Yi, my aunt and grandmother didn't actually invite me to play at home, did they?" Mu Qingge said suddenly.

Xia Yi was startled and a little embarrassed, and said, "No, mother and grandmother really invited their cousin and cousin to play at home." I haven't seen you in all these years, and they miss you too. ”

That's right, it's just that the only person they really want to invite in their hearts is Mu Wenhan. However, Xia Yi can't say this directly.

"Cousin Yi, in the past, I was not in good health, and sometimes I was inevitably angry with others, so my temperament was not likable." Of course, Mu Qingge also understood, and she would never say it explicitly, "I have lived in Luoyu Temple for half a year, and now I have figured it out." If you are not in good health, it is not a shameful thing, there is no need to pity yourself, and there is no need to be angry with others for this, especially those who are good to yourself. I am now studying medicine with a great master, and the master said that as long as I keep my body and mind happy, my illness will soon be cured. ”

"Yes, Doctor Ji is powerful, and our young lady is even more powerful." Su Mu and Poria just changed their clothes and came over, Poria was quick to speak, and then Mu Qingge's words continued, "Last time, the old lady was sick, and the doctor made a mistake, but our young lady prescribed a prescription to cure the old lady." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Xia Yi knew that Poria would definitely not lie about this kind of thing, so she was very surprised, "Cousin is amazing!" ”

"Alright, you are!" Mu Qingge looked at a few people, and said helplessly, "I'm a man now, why are you still called Miss and cousin, isn't this revealing as soon as you go out?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's me who is confused." Xia Yi smiled, and Mu Qingge expressed that she was confident in pleasing her mother and grandmother, and he naturally didn't have many scruples.

Table ...... Now that we're resting, let's go. It's good to get to Wucheng early, where the climate is good. After a pause, he said with some regret, "I originally wanted to ask my cousin if he wanted to take the waterway, and along the Phosphorus River, he could go all the way to Wucheng." It's just that the waterway is much slower than the land route, and now it seems that my cousin won't want to take the waterway, right? ”

Wucheng is surrounded by mountains and water, and the water is the phosphorus river.

"No, no. Let's take the road route, my body is not fully recovered yet, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get used to the boat. When I return to Beijing, I will go to enjoy the scenery of the Phosphorus River. ”

Mu Qingge hurriedly refused. Just kidding, Shang Qirui inspected the Phosphorus River, and he would definitely follow the Phosphorus River. Isn't it equivalent to sending it to the tiger's mouth if he still runs to the waterway?

So, the group simply cleaned up and left the inn.

As soon as their carriage left, a group of people also came out of the inn. It was the Three Princes, Shang Qirui and his gang.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" The guards were busy preparing things, and Doctor Ji was stunned when he saw Shang Qirui standing aside.

"It's like the group of people I met outside the capital in the morning." Shang Qirui stared at the direction in which Mu Qingge and their carriage left.

"Since you're going in the same direction, it's normal to bump into it." Doctor Ji said casually, but the hand holding the medicine box was clenched tightly.

"Your Highness, will those people have other plans? Do you want to go down and check? One of the guards overheard the conversation between the two and stepped forward to ask for instructions.

Your Highness's travel, safety is the most important thing. Now the situation in the capital seems to be calm, but in fact the dark tide is turbulent. Anything can happen, so be careful.

Doctor Ji also looked at Shang Qirui.

"No, none of these things matter." Shang Qirui waved his hand and asked the guard, "Have you done everything I explained?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, I have already explained. The five of us walked to Lu Lu and rushed to Wucheng as fast as possible. Lord Chen took the rest of the people by water, surveying all the way. After the guard finished speaking, he was puzzled, "But, Your Highness, why don't we also take the waterway?" You're out to inspect the Phosphorus River, isn't it the most convenient and quick to check along the waterway? Why rush to Wucheng first? The climate in Wucheng is good, and the chance of heavy water is also small......"

Shang Qirui's expression changed slightly, there are some things that he knows how to do, but he has no way to explain them to others.

"If you think about it, the weather has been abnormal this year, it hasn't rained for two months, and it's been unbearably hot recently. In this case, it is most likely that a sudden rainstorm will cause flooding. When we came out this time, we didn't have many people with us, and if we had walked along the Phosphorus River, we wouldn't have been able to finish the investigation in two months. Therefore, the best thing to do is for everyone to check separately. Moreover, if you follow the Phosphorus River, those officials along the way, knowing that I came out to inspect, will not be able to walk fast along the way. The matter of dealing with the officials was left to Lord Chen to deal with. And the reason why I went to Wucheng first was because everyone felt that it was not easy to get heavy water, so the embankment was definitely not reliable. However, Wucheng has a large population because of its good climate. If there is a real flood, the casualties and losses are immeasurable. ”

Although the real reason cannot be explained, it cannot be left unexplained. Today's Shang Qirui understands very well that no matter what he does, he must not make the people around him feel at ease.

"His Royal Highness is really thoughtful, and his subordinates admire it." The guard was very moved when he saw Shang Qirui explaining to him in such detail, and seemed to be more energetic.
