What are you laughing at? ”

"It's okay, it's just that I, Qiuyue, am not the one who talks about people behind my back."

Zhu Zhitong didn't understand and didn't care. She sat sullenly for a while, then suddenly slapped her head.

"Oh, I didn't ask the driver how much he was going to charge before I got in the car?"

"I can ask for a few dollars, and let His Highness worry about it."

"In case he asks for a sky-high price......"

"Actually, there's one thing I haven't understood. It is said that the Bihai royal family spends money like dirt, why doesn't it seem like that when he arrives here, His Royal Highness? ”

"You don't know. People all over the world say that I am a person who cares about the sea, but my mother has always taught me that this is not a baht, but the duty of a trader. Every penny spent has to be spent to be famous, and every penny earned has to be paid convincingly. For example, if she is kind enough to show the way, I will definitely pay her for her kindness, but if she takes advantage of the situation to make profits, I will definitely be able to keep my purse. ”

"The mind of a businessman is really different, and the mind of a woman is even more difficult to fathom, not to mention that you are still a businesswoman." Qiu Yue couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, don't laugh yet, and ask the coachman how much it costs."

"No need to ask, he won't ask for it."

"Why?"

"Because I've already paid for it."

"When did you pay? Why didn't I see it. ”

"When I was asking for directions in the bamboo forest."

"Bamboo forest?" Zhu Zhitong became more and more surprised.

Qiu Yue laughed in a low voice: "I just said, the vulture's disguise technique is vivid......

"You mean...... The peasant woman ......"

"His Royal Highness said that I was talking about her behind my back, but in fact, where is it, she has always been by our side, but it can't be regarded as behind our back." Qiu Yue's smile was even stronger. "She first dressed as an old woman and prepared tea and snacks, and waited for us in front."

"This ...... You knew it from the beginning? ”

"Not really, I only understood when I saw her bring out the bowl of white jade balls. That ball is not a snack from Bihai Country, but from my Liuxia Country, so His Highness has not eaten it. The red bean paste filling in the meatballs is made of red beans from Tanba Da Nayan, and the people of Liuxia will know it when they taste it. ”

"She's a liar! I didn't see it at all. Zhu Zhitong exclaimed, "Then why did she dress up as a peasant woman later?" ”

"She must have been ahead of the curve, afraid that we would go a different way, so she waited there."

"Then she still asks me for money?"

"Haha, that's her joking with Her Highness, whether Her Highness uses the art of contemplation to look at her, or whether she gives money or not, she will point us the right way."

"So...... This coachman is also ......" Zhu Zhitong couldn't help but immediately lift the door curtain, only to see the coachman turn his head and say angrily: "The stone road is bumpy, please sit tight." "It's clear that he is a rough man, where is half a minute of the appearance of a cheerful orchid on weekdays.

Zhu Zhitong was stunned.

"This disguise technique is really powerful, you don't say that I really can't see through it. But the two of us are not slow, how can she have time to arrange so many things? ”

"Aren't there still Ato and Aoi?"

"Oh, yes! Ato and Akui, what about them? ”

Through the curtain came the rough voice of the coachman.

"Ah Teng and Ah Kui have already gone to the ferry to investigate."

Zhu Zhitong looked at Qiu Yue dumbfounded, and the latter was still smiling uncontrollably, as if all this was taken for granted.

The people of this Liuxia country are really unpredictable. Zhu Zhitong thought that Fang had just teased Vulture Tail for Qiu Yue's good intentions, and was all listened to by Eagle Tail in disguise on the side, but she became the person who talked about people behind her back, and couldn't help but be ashamed, and she was embarrassed to look at the coachman.

The carriage was still moving, and a heavy drizzle began to fall outside the window.

Qiu Yue looked out of the window and could already see the Hanjiang River in the distance. The river is turbulent, the fog does not disperse, and it seems that the river is vast and uncrossable.

Qiu Yue looked back and saw that Zhu Zhitong had fallen asleep against the corner at some point.

Zhu Zhitong, the concubine of the Empress of the Blue Sea.

Ever since she helped the people of Liuxia escape from Nanhua Island, the contradictory thoughts in Qiu Yue's heart have become more and more serious.

He wasn't without a desire to take advantage of her.

Even if he escapes Liu Mingyan's tracking, it will be difficult to ensure that Bihai Kingdom will not remain hostile to him in the future. After all, she had funded the red-haired pirates, and once Liu Mingyan realized this, she would not give up.

Therefore, Zhu Zhitong is indeed his nobleman. Maybe I helped her and did a favor, maybe I can ask her to say a favor to Emperor Ming in the future, and I won't blame her in the past.

Although she knows how to contemplate the mind, she is a pure-minded person, and she thinks that she is a good person, so she does not come to contemplate herself.

I lived up to this intention, because the motive for helping her was not so pure.

But after more than ten days of hard work, he realized that there was something strange about himself. He would impatiently ask Washio about her diet, and Washio thought it was just Akizuki trying to maintain a good relationship for the sake of the future of her clan. He would also ask Ah to or Ah Kui to talk to her to relieve her boredom, although more often than not, he would love to accompany her in person.

So when she wanted to go ashore like an arrow, Qiu Yue made a decision without thinking: "I'll go with you." ”

Maybe at that moment, Qiu Yue hoped that Zhu Zhitong could use the art of contemplation to see his mind and understand his mind.

She didn't look at it, though.

Of course, she didn't doubt him, and all she thought about was that Master Su.

So he had some remorse, if he really found Master Su...... Isn't it time for him to say goodbye?

The carriage stopped, and Eagletail lifted the curtain and was about to speak, but was stopped by a gesture from Autumn Moon.

"Let her sleep a little longer."

Ah Teng and Ah Kui had already come back from the front and were waiting by the car.

Qiu Yue got out of the car lightly, and Washio spoke:

"Tsukushi-sama, Ato and Aoi inquired and said that the mission's convoy had crossed the river after arriving at the ferry next to it. So they camped for the night by the ferry. ”

"Camp? Why not live in a post station? ”

"It is said that Princess Qingle had a lot of entourage at that time, and it took a whole day to move ashore from the Kuntou ship, and Liu Mingyan was in a hurry to go back, so she didn't have time to go to the post station."

Qiu Yue felt a little strange.

What a big deal the marriage between the two countries is, and the honor guard of how to send relatives will sleep in the wild so hastily. Even if there are a lot of things to accompany you, you should have made arrangements as early as possible and let the local officials pick them up at the post station.

Where did he think that Zhu Zhijie and Ye Zhiqiu, one was in a hurry to cross the river, and the other was secretly pregnant with a ghost. Sleeping out is just a quick hit.

But I can feel that the strange is already Qiu Yue's thoughts, how can ordinary people think of this.

He groaned for a moment and asked:

"Where is their camp?"

"It's said to be a short walk to the north."

"Okay, Ato, Akui, you two are here to watch Your Highness, don't lose anything. Eagletail and I went to their camp first. ”

After speaking, Qiu Yue looked at the car again, Zhu Zhitong's face was flushed, and she was sleeping soundly.

Just look for him.

It's better to worry me than to see you frowning.

Washio followed behind Akizuki and said nothing.

But the same silence can sometimes make people feel different. Qiu Yue turned her head to look at her, and said softly, "Do you have something to ask me?" ”

“……”

"Why did you tell her about your background? After you are loyal, your father's life is also above board and worthy of his heart, and there is nothing wrong with letting His Highness know. What's more, you get along day and night, and I want her to know more about you. And you are a young lady of the official eunuch's family, not an ordinary maid, but you serve me for some reason......"

"Eagletail didn't say these things......"

"And you mean ......?"

Eagle Tail's cold face actually showed a little shyness, his eyes were erratic, and he didn't dare to look directly at Qiu Yue.

"Eagletail is trying to ask...... Why do you ...... Said to go to carry Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Akizuki was stunned, he didn't expect Washio's tail to ask this.

yes, why? I'm afraid he doesn't know it himself.

She said she was tired, so he came to carry it.

That's all.

"The adult is a daughter, and after being a descendant of the Liuxia Emperor, how can he ......?"

"Alright, don't talk about it." Akizuki stiffly interrupted Washio's words, "I don't want to hear anything like that again." ”

Washios regained silence.

Autumn Moon rarely spoke to her so condescendingly, and despite their nominal master-servant, Autumn Moon had always treated her differently than anyone else.

But when it comes to Zhu Zhitong here, she was made an exception.

In fact, she can't hide it from herself, "After the Imperial Descendant of the Golden Body" is just to justifiably block some of Qiu Yue's thoughts, she really can't accept that Qiu Yue, who is a celestial, is willing to lower her body to carry another woman.

Thinking of this, Eagletail felt that she couldn't hide her tears, she suppressed the sourness in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Rong Eagletail will investigate first." ”

Without waiting for Qiu Yue to answer, her figure flashed, and she was already gone, leaving Qiu Yue alone and silently alone.

Zhu Zhitong slept in the dark, and when she opened her eyes, she found that the autumn moon was gone. She hurriedly lifted the curtain and saw Ah Teng and Ah Kui sitting on the side of the car, picking a few lotus pods from nowhere, and the two chatted while peeling and eating:

"The lotus seeds in the blue sea are really big."

"Well, but it seems that the taste is lighter, and it is not as sweet as the lotus seeds in our Lake Biwa."

"Also, it is better to grind it into lotus root flour to make meatballs. Hey, I suddenly want to eat white jade balls. ”

"Did you just see those balls made by Sister Washioo and want to eat them?"

"She doesn't do it, I want to eat it. Do you remember practicing the Five Elements Technique in the Fog Hidden Gate before? Let's practice breath-holding ...... under the lake."

"Remember remember, how not to remember. Originally, I held my breath well, but you used underwater lotus seeds and water chestnuts to tempt me, but I didn't hold back ......"

The two were talking lively, and suddenly found that Zhu Zhitong had woken up, and hurriedly greeted: "Princess, you are awake, we have lotus seeds here, can you eat them?" ”

"Where's Qiu Yue-kun?"

"Oh, he and Sister Vulture went to the front to investigate first, and the adults said to let the princess sleep a little longer, and since the princess is awake, let's go after them?"

"Okay."
