Chapter 99: The Halfway Blocker
Three days later, Tao Tao explained everything that should be explained to Zhou Lin, and he was ready to set off with Xiao Zhi and leave Beijing to find the associated medicinal herb millet mustard seeds.
The two left in a low-key manner, barely noticed.
This time when he went out, Tao Tao left the spring tea in the palace and brought Qi Yin with him.
After all, they are from the Lingnan Qi family, they are not in the palace, and she is left alone in the palace, which is easy to have accidents.
Of course, Xiao Zhi resolutely said that he would not ride in the same carriage with Qi Yin, and Qi Yin could only take a carriage by himself in the end, and Lu Zheng was sent to keep an eye on it in case people escaped halfway.
Lu Zheng refused the whole person, but unfortunately the two masters had already decided, and he couldn't resist, so he could only obey.
A group of two carriages and three or five plain clothes guards accompanied them, and drove slowly towards the city gate.
After leaving the city gate, he went south first, because according to Tao Tao's judgment, the south is the place where the associated medicinal herb millet mustard seed is most likely to appear.
After about half an hour, the carriage came to a halt suddenlyβ
"Lord Wang, someone is blocking the way."
"Who dares to stand in the way without opening your eyes?" Tao Tao's eyes widened in surprise, it stands to reason that when he sees them in this configuration, ordinary people with long eyes will not come up.
The groom subconsciously glanced at Ling Ziyue, who was blind, and was speechless, not knowing what to do.
Ling Ziyue's eyelids jumped suddenly, and he could only open his mouth to identify himself, "Ah Zhi, it's my Ziyue." β
"Huh? Your friend? Tao Tao was surprised, then what she just said, didn't the other party already hear it?
Xiao Zhi also didn't expect Ling Ziyue to appear here, he frowned and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the carriage, and looked out, and really saw Ling Ziyue standing alone in front of their carriage.
When he noticed that he opened the curtain of the carriage and looked over, Ling Ziyue even put a slight warm smile on his face.
"Ah Zhi, I heard that you received the emperor's decree and are going to go out to find medicine as a messenger, so you came uninvited, you won't blame me, right?"
Tao Tao couldn't help but glance at Ling Ziyue a few more times, how did she think that the way this person spoke was tea-like?
"Azhi, you told him that we left today?"
"Nope." Xiao Zhi's eyes sank, since he had never told Ziyue, how did Ziyue know exactly that he was still waiting here when he set off today?
Ling Ziyue looked away in a sneering manner, "What, I let people keep an eye on the palace, and once I find out that you are leaving, I will come to tell you immediately, Ah Zhi, anyway, you have brought so many people, and you are not inferior to me, right?" β
"I just want to help you, nothing else."
"IMHO, what will you be? How can you help Aji? Tao Tao raised his eyebrows before Xiao Zhi spoke, and asked sharply, "We have Lu Zheng and guards, and Wen has Azhi himself, what about you?" β
Ling Ziyue choked, and held back for a long time before he said: "I can cover all the expenses on your road, anyway, my Ling family has money." β
"Is that true?!" Tao Tao's eyes lit up, she was going to drive people away, but if he said this now, then she would be in good spirits.
After all, who would hate having a lot of money?
There was a big boss who spent money along the way, and they didn't pay a penny, so they saved money!
Xiao is helpless, she obviously doesn't lack that bit of silver, why does she still look so greedy for money now?
"It's true, I've always been what I say." Ling Ziyue didn't think about it that much, he just wanted to go out with Xiao Zhi.
The emperor is so far away, even if the elders in the family still want to give him Zhang Luo's marriage again, there is no way.
He made a love affair with the princess, exchanged Geng posts, and soon became married, but the elders of the family wanted to stuff people in his room when they came to the end, saying that they could not let the princess be dominant as soon as she entered the Ling family.
It's all fart, they're just doing it for themselves.
They all hoped that he could fall out with the princess and find someone to block the princess, but he was really unbearable, so he simply discussed with the princess, and during this time he and Xiao Zhi went out to find medicine and avoid them.
As for the princess, she can't leave the palace at will, so she can only wait for him in the palace.
Anyway, they have a marriage contract, even if it drags on for a few more years, it doesn't matter, not to mention that if the emperor knows that he is with Xiao Zhi, he will definitely not blame him.
He's already done with everything, and he just owes the shareholder wind to stay.
Tao Tao knew that it was not easy for this person to follow, but she had the ultimate confidence in herself to be able to prevent this person, so she turned her eyes to look at Xiao Zhi, and said with a smile: "Ah Zhi, then let him stay." β
The unjust head who took the initiative to send it to the door will not accept it in vain!
"Whatever you want, you don't mind." Xiao Zhi became more and more helpless, both of them had reached a consensus on their own, what else could he say?
Ling Ziyue was about to go to Xiao Zhi's carriage the more happily he walked, not thinking about the question of whether they let him get into the carriage or not.
"No, do you think it's appropriate for you to do this?" Seeing that Ling Ziyue was about to come up, Tao Tao snatched the long whip used to drive the horse from the groom's hand, and used the handle to partially press against Ling Ziyue's chest.
Ling Ziyue first lowered his eyes and glanced at the long whip handle that was against his chest at this time, and then raised his eyes to look at Xiao Zhi blankly, "Yes, is it inappropriate?" β
"Why not?" Tao Tao held Xiao Zhi's hand with one hand and tilted his head proudly, "I have become a married couple with him, you are an outsider to get into our carriage, do you think it is appropriate?" β
Ling Ziyue: "......"
Seems to be this reason?
"But I came alone, without a carriage or a horse! You can't let me follow you on two legs, can you? "Wouldn't that exhaust him to death?
"I'm a person who can't carry my shoulders and can't lift my hands, and I don't have any martial arts at all, can you bear it?"
Tao Tao rolled her eyes angrily, "Then Ah Zhi, are you willing to let others destroy the anger between you and me?" β
"Ziyue, you go to the carriage in the back and go with Lu Zheng." Xiao Zhi pinched his eyebrows, there is no place in front of the village and no shop here, and there is no way to arrange a carriage for Ling Ziyue alone, so he can only do this first.
"Okay." Ling Ziyue had no choice but to walk back as he said.
Although Xiao Zhi can have one more person besides the coachman in addition to the carriage, Xiao Zhi has opened his mouth like this, and he can't refute it, so let's do it first, it's already good to be able to follow.
Seeing the people get into the carriage behind, Tao Tao retracted his gaze, "I don't know how Qi Yin feels now?" β
"A Lu Zheng is also a man, and it doesn't hurt to have one more Ling Ziyue, it's all outside anyway." Xiao Zhi waved his hand disappreciatively.
Tao Tao nodded in agreement, "That's what I said, then so be it, when you have the conditions in the next place, let him buy a carriage by himself." β
That's right, he bought it himself, and they would never have bought him a carriage at their own expense.
