"Miss, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the city tonight." The guard looked at the sky that had gradually darkened, and stood respectfully outside the carriage to report.

Su Ji opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, "Then clean up and find a place to set up camp." ”

With that, she jumped out of the carriage.

The people around looked surprised, after all, along the way, they thought that the delicate and weak county lord had given them countless surprises and frightes.

After returning to Kyoto, if anyone dares to say in front of them that the lord of Rongxi is delicate and weak, they will be the first to rush with him.

As guards, the master was not tired of walking, but they were panting one by one. When they encountered robbers and bandits, before they could make a move, the master had already beaten the group of people to the ground.

The guards who came out with their dreams thought that this time it was a chore, but they didn't expect that they were the weakest ones.

The county lord is so bullish, does the prince know?

A group of guards couldn't help the gossip in their hearts, I thought of my long-cherished skills, and I was a little cowardly.

Thinking about the next journey, the Mir, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly appeared.

[Host, I suggest you don't go into the city, just go up the mountain.] 】

What are you doing up the mountain?

Su Ji looked up at the mountain not far away, it was not very high, but it was endless.

[Host, if you listen to me, I will never pit you, so I suggest you go directly to the mountain. 】

You mean the side quest object is on that mountain?

The Mir wouldn't have reminded her for no reason, or if she did, it would prove that there was definitely something she needed on that mountain.

And what she needs most now is the side quest object.

Although Mir is a bit in arrears, one thing it says is right, it will not cheat her.

Mir: ???

What does it call IQ arrears?

Is it good that its IQ is always online?

[Host, why are you scolding me again? 】

Did I scold you?

[You say I'm in arrears in IQ!] 】

Aren't you?

[Me! No! Be! 】

Now not only do I feel that your IQ is in arrears, but the system is not very good.

【......】Why is its unity so difficult??

Mir is self-contained.

After finishing the Mir, he was in a very good mood, "Let's rest tonight, let's not rush into the city tomorrow, let's go to that mountain for a walk." ”

The guards and Lu Yi looked at the place they were pointing, and felt their legs and stomachs tremble a little.

They wanted to say, "Lord, can we stop climbing the mountain?" It's really tiring.

It's a pity that they didn't dare to say.

can only wilt: "Yes." ”

Recently, because he often spends the night in the wild, Lu Yi has practiced a very powerful barbecue technique.

The meat that passes through her hands can be described as charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste is delicious.

However, Lu Yi said that she only roasted for the county lord.

So every night, the guards looked at the meat in Lu Yi's hand, swallowed saliva, smelled the fragrance, and then bitterly ate the meat in their hands that was at least not burnt.

Su Qi said that she was going to climb that mountain, and the people around her really thought that she was just going to climb the mountain, after all, during the time she came out of Kyoto, Su Qi looked like she was traveling in the mountains and rivers.

But when they followed Su Qi and saw a small courtyard on the mountain, they just felt that it was a coincidence.

There was only one boy in the courtyard at this time, and the boy was sorting medicinal herbs.

Su Ji knocked on the door, "Hello, we are passing by here, we are a little thirsty, can I ask for a glass of water?" ”

The people who followed Su Ji looked at each other, no, didn't the county lord eat the fruit just now, why is he begging for water here now?

Or they can only keep their doubts to themselves.

When the boy saw the people in the courtyard, he said wait a minute, turned around and ran into the house.

"Grandpa, there is a group of people outside begging for water."

"Then invite someone in."

The door of the house was not closed, so I could clearly hear the sound of conversation in the room.

The boy's voice was a little hoarse, but it sounded very kind.

The boy immediately ran out and opened the gate of the courtyard.

"Guests, please come in."

After welcoming Su Qi and his party into the house, he turned around and ran out: "Please wait, I'll make you tea." ”

In the house, the man who was called grandfather by the boy got up with a smile: "Oh, I have very few people here, since you can find this place in the mountains, it is enough to show that our fate is not shallow, and the humble house is simple, please bear with me." ”

"Sit down, old man." Su Ji's polite look made the people who had just followed him stunned.

Not to mention, this was the first time they had seen the county lord like this.

The boy was very fast, and he quickly came back from making a pot of tea, then put the teapot and teacup on the table, turned and ran out.

But after a while, he ran in again, "Grandpa, the big brother is back." ”

Su Qi calmly poured herself a cup of tea, as if she was really just here to ask for a cup of water, but when she lowered her head and took a small sip of the water in the teacup, her ears unconsciously pricked up.

Big brother? Could it be Ling Xuecheng?

The boy's grandfather stood up, then patted him on the head: "There are guests at home, how can you shout?" Please don't blame you. ”

No matter what she is wearing, or the people around her who are uniformly dressed, all of them show that the girl sitting here at this time is either rich or expensive.

In this deep mountain and wilderness, what if this group of people disagrees and makes trouble?

"Uncle is fine, we are disturbing you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold male voice suddenly came from outside: "Old man, you have a guest here?" ”

The house was relatively small, so the guards were left in the courtyard, and only Su Qi and Lu Yi were in the house.

As the cold male voice fell, the curtain of the door of the room was opened, and Su Ji put down the teacup in his hand and looked up, just in time to see the man walking in.

The man was dressed in coarse cloth, his hair was haphazardly tied back at the back of his head, and he carried a basket with some game in it, and it seemed that he had just returned from hunting.

Although it was only a coarse cloth dress, it still couldn't hide the man's delicate face.

Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, rich and handsome!

I don't know if it's because he has been in the mountains for a long time, and the murderous aura on his body is not very obvious, but how sharp he is, he still notices it.

It's worthy of being a side quest object, and it's really good-looking.

Ling Xuecheng actually hadn't seen the county lord of Rongxi, although he became famous at a young age, he spent most of his time on the battlefield, even if he had participated in the palace banquet, at that time, because his identity was not enough, so he had not seen the original owner up close.

In addition, now because of the relationship between Su Qi, although there is no change in appearance, but the temperament is very different, so it is even more impossible for Ling Xuecheng to recognize Su Qi's identity.

But Su Ji didn't care about this, after she was sure that the man who walked in was Ling Xuecheng, she spoke directly: "Hey, isn't this General Ling?" ”

Ling Xuecheng suddenly showed murderous anger because of his long-awaited words: "Who are you?" ”

"Yuzhu Creek."

Anyway, it was the county lord of Rongxi, how could Ling Xuecheng not have heard of the name of Su Qi.

This is deep in the mountains and mountains, and the lord of a country would actually come here?

So Ling Xuecheng still asked tentatively: "Are you the county lord of Rongxi?" ”

"Yes, that's right, it's me. I never imagined that I would meet General Ling, who was rumored to be dead here. ”

Ling Xuecheng sneered: "I didn't expect that I was 'dead'!" ”

It's amazing.

Ling Xuecheng put down the basket in his hand, "I wonder if the county lord can take a step to speak?" ”

"Okay."

After saying that, Su Ji turned around and walked out of the house, letting Lu Yi stay.

Outside the house, the guards looked at Su Ji who came out, thinking that she was leaving, but found that Ling Xuecheng, who was following Shu Ji, was a little confused.

But he stepped forward anyway, "Miss, are we leaving?" ”

"Don't leave yet, you first ask the old uncle, is there anything you need help with? I go outside for a walk and don't have to follow. ”

Ling Xuecheng thought that those guards were objected to after hearing this, but to his surprise, the guards didn't say anything and let Su Yu leave.

"Those subordinates of the county lord are really obedient."

In fact, after Ling Xuecheng entered the room, he felt that the girl sitting there was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

It wasn't until he reported his identity that he connected her with the soft and weak girl he saw from afar in his memory.

Especially after leaving the house, Ling Xuecheng carefully observed the clothes of those guards, as well as the sign on the guards' waists, and determined the authenticity of Su Ji's identity.

Originally, I thought that those guards would follow when they saw their county lord with a strange man, but they didn't expect them to be so relieved, so they let him leave with him.

Could it be that there is some secret in the middle that he doesn't know?

But think about it, after all, he is not familiar with the county lord of Rongxi, so why should he make a decision for those subordinates of the county lord of Rongxi?

Su Ji and Ling Xuecheng didn't leave that courtyard too far, "What does General Ling want to ask?" As long as I know, I will answer truthfully. ”

"I'm curious why the county lord is here?"

"Actually, I just came to visit the mountains and rivers, but I didn't expect to meet General Ling here."

How could she possibly tell the side quest subject the real purpose of her coming here, and do you want her to say that she came specifically to him?

I'm afraid that as soon as she finished speaking, Ling Xue Cheng was going to draw a knife to meet her.

However, Ling Xuecheng obviously didn't believe in this sentence, but he didn't debunk it.

Ling Xuecheng then asked, "The capital ...... Are you okay? ”

"The third prince was canonized as King An, and his legs were crippled. Someone wanted to frame General Ling. ”

"What?"

"For some reason, I accidentally learned that someone wanted to blame General Ling for the murder of the third prince this time."

Su Ji didn't know what politeness was, and told Ling Xuecheng everything he knew.

The sincerity of his tone and the seriousness of his attitude made Ling Xuecheng not suspect at all.

But there is no need to doubt it, after all, what Su Ji said is true.

And she said it all, there was another purpose, that is, she hoped that Ling Xuecheng could return to Kyoto as soon as possible.

After all, there is a pseudo-heroine there.

The heroine hasn't gotten back the halo of the protagonist that belongs to her, although she is temporarily protected by the male protagonist, but she is still not at ease.

Who knows if the male protagonist will be careless, and let the pseudo-female protagonist take advantage of it!
