Chapter 23: Ride-along

It was almost time for Zhong Xingyue to finally set off in the carriage.

In the smooth carriage, the soft futon, and the not too crowded space, everyone asked each other curiously, and they glanced at Zhong Xingyue, who was sitting quietly in the corner, and obviously had no interest in coming over to talk to her.

Ignoring her, she could continue to study the newly acquired Bible she had received last night.

In the other corner of the carriage, the position was exactly opposite Zhong Xingyue's position, and there was a boy who was also thirteen or fourteen years old sitting quietly, he was wearing a gray cotton robe, the clothes were not of the best materials, but they had a special taste on his body.

Unlike Zhong Xingyue, although he also went out alone, he was a boy and was sound and good-looking, so several people took the initiative to talk to him.

His expression was a little cold, no matter what others joked, he would either nod or shake his head, never say a word, and then those people found it boring and ignored him.

Zhong Xingyue couldn't help but look at him curiously.

This boy is so strange, how can he be so impolite?

Ah~ It's so good-looking...

Zhong Xingyue saw his face, and the light in her eyes lit up, she had never seen such a good-looking man!

His gray robe not only did not destroy the beauty, but set off him like a son who does not eat the fireworks of the world, and his whole body revealed an attractive temperament, although he was also unsmiling, but compared with the man under the cliff that day, he was only unfamiliar with the coldness of others, not indifferent to everything in the world.

Zhong Xingyue's gaze was too naked, and the young man felt her gaze, so he turned his head to look at her.

"Hello. She greeted with a smile

The young man was still expressionless, and nodded to Zhong Xingyue like he had answered the adults in front of him, and then turned back again.

Zhong Xingyue didn't care, compared to those adults, she didn't have anything worthy of special attention, and it was reasonable for this young man to ignore her.

After a day and a night of silence, the carriage finally arrived at the capital of Zhao.

The national capital is naturally the most prosperous city in the whole Zhao country, from the main street and Zhufang Lane, the size of the mat, even the door, there is no empty house, the carriage just enters the city, has not passed through the downtown area, it is like a prosperous and luxurious atmosphere all around, Zhong Xingyue sat in the carriage and looked around with fiery eyes, quite a feeling of soil buns entering the city.

The post station will not be built in the center of the city, but in a secluded place on the edge of the city, after Zhong Xingyue and his party got out of the carriage and left the post station, several middle-aged men immediately surrounded them outside.

"Girl, where are you going, do you want to take a carriage? My carriage is spacious and comfortable..."

This is outside the post station, the horsemen who make a living by pulling people, their carriage is not big, and they can sit three or four people, and the horses that pull the cart are not the long-wildebeest horses with fast speed and strong endurance that are customary in the post station, but ordinary horses.

Of course, there were many luxurious carriages in the distance, and those were picked up by servants from the house.

Zhong Xingyue came to the national capital for the first time, let alone recognize the way, if it weren't for the sun in the sky now, she might not even be able to separate the southeast, northwest and northwest, the national capital is huge, and the various streets inside are extremely complicated, in this case, just by asking for directions, she is not sure if she will be able to reach the national academy safely.

"I'm going to the National Academy. ”

"Go to the National Academy. ”

Two voices with almost identical content rang out at the same time.

Across a woman in the middle, Zhong Xingyue and the owner of the voice looked at each other.

Hey, it's him.

The gray-clad boy who got off in a carriage with him.

The young man's eyes finally showed a hint of surprise, why is this little girl with a broken arm going to the national academy?

Zhong Xingyue didn't think as much as he thought, she just walked over happily and asked,

"Shall we carpool?"

Since both of them go to the national college, the carriage can also seat two people, and if you carpool, you can save half of the travel expenses.

The coachman next to him pursed his lips and thought to himself, this little girl doesn't look big, but she is quite calculating.

The young man frowned, as if he was not willing to ride with others, but when he thought of his shriveled money bag, he had to agree to Zhong Xingyue's proposal.

"Ha, that's great!" Zhong Xingyue clapped her hands and laughed

"Coachman, the two of us go to the state academy together. ”

The coachman suppressed his complaints, and said in a not very kind tone, "Fifteen high-grade spirit beads." ”

Zhong Xingyue's eyes widened, and the young man also stared at him coldly.

"Didn't you just say a low-grade spirit stone?"

A low-grade spirit stone is equivalent to ten high-grade spirit beads, and he can't settle accounts when he is a child!

"That's one person's money, you are two people now, it's good that I didn't ask you for twenty high-grade spirit beads!"

"Are you so easy to deceive us? The drivers here are all charged per time, but you say that it is by the person, it is clear that you are bullying us are outsiders, if you don't want to pull us, just say it, some of the drivers over there are, we will change people!"

After speaking, Zhong Xingyue angrily grabbed the young man's arm, regardless of the driver's expression, and walked towards a short and fat coachman in the distance.

It's disgusting to try to cheat her! She won't get in his car anymore!

"You let go!" The young man shook off Zhong Xingyue's hand, then frowned and lowered his head to straighten his sleeves.

Disgusted with her arresting him?

"Don't you know that men and women don't kiss?" the young man's cold voice came from overhead

His figure was a little taller than Zhong Xingyue, and his voice was even more indifferent.

Not......

It seems that there is such a saying, there is a big defense between men and women, especially at their age, it is easy for people to talk about it and point fingers.

"I'm sorry, I... In a moment's hurry. ”

Thinking that she actually took the initiative to pull a strange boy just now, and the young man was so good-looking, she felt very embarrassed.

If the other party thinks that he is deliberately belittling him, it will be too embarrassing...

Just when Zhong Xingyue didn't know what to say, the short and fat coachman came out in time.

"Where are you going?"

Zhong Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly jumped away, half of her figure hidden behind the short and fat man, "Let's go to the National Academy." ”

"National Academy, one low-grade spirit stone is enough, hehe, the two of you are going to sign up?"

The short and fat man smiled even more honestly, and the price of a low-grade spirit stone was also the price of conscience, and the young man glanced at Zhong Xingyue, and then got into the carriage first.

"yes, let's try our luck, uncle, has the registration started?"
