Seeing this, the little bell couldn't hold back crying anymore, "Grandpa, Sister Ran, don't leave me alone!" ”

The evil old man waved the reins, and the horse under him ran away in an instant.

Yue Qingran and a few people hurriedly followed.

Little Bell ran while crying, "Grandpa! Grandfather! Sister—"

Seeing this, Yue Hongle hurriedly strode forward and hugged the person.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! You still have me! ”

The little bell's small figure nested in Yue Hongle's arms and cried quietly, "Brother Hongle, don't they want us anymore?" ”

"No, no, they're just out and they'll be back soon!"

……

In the morning, there were fewer pedestrians coming and going on the road, and a few people went out of the city smoothly, walked a few miles outside, and finally met Chu Junmo and others in a pavilion.

Seeing that Zhenqiang was also in the team, Yue Qingran raised her eyebrows, "Yo! The guards are moving very fast. ”

Zhen Qiang clenched his fists embarrassedly, "The subordinates went back to the palace to pack their burdens, and they just set off with the prince." ”

Yue Qingran threw everything he brought into Chu Junmo's carriage, rode back on horseback, and the group set off again.

Xu was in order not to delay the trip, Chu Junmo's carriage was also replaced by two horse-drawn carriages, and the speed was on par with the people driving the horses.

It wasn't until noon that the crowd stopped when they passed a large tree.

Mu Tong drove his horse to the carriage, "Lord Wang, do you need to stop here and rest for a while?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Jun Mo lifted the curtain and looked out, and nodded.

Seeing Chu Junmo agree, Mu Tong waved his hand at everyone, "Rest in place!" ”

"Yes!"

When Mu Tong asked Chu Junmo, Yue Qingran and the others had already dismounted and walked to the coolest place under the big tree to eat dry food.

Chu Junmo also got out of the carriage and was pushed around by Mu Tong to breathe.

It didn't take long for him to come straight in the direction of Yue Qingran and the others.

Seeing this, Yue Qingran picked up the two pieces of dry food in the bag and threw them to the two, "You're welcome." ”

Chu Junmo quickly caught it, picked it up and looked at it carefully, and handed one of them to Mu Tong behind him.

"Thank you, master, Miss Xie Yue!"

Yue Qingran smiled, and gnawed on the dry food in her hand again.

Chu Jun took a tentative bite and frowned tightly unexpectedly.

Seeing this, Mu Tong hurriedly went to fetch the water bag.

After swallowing the last bite, Yue Qingran got up and looked at Chu Junmo, "Do you know how long it will take us to go this way?" ”

"According to the current schedule, it will take at least half a month!"

Yue Qingran frowned, "There is a lot of delay on this road, is there a way for the prince to arrive faster?" ”

"Yes!"

Yue Qingran's eyes lit up, and she asked hopelessly, but she didn't expect it to be true?

Chu Junmo paused for a moment and then said, "If we choose to give up going north, at this time, if we pass through two more cities to the west, we can choose to take the waterway, and we can go directly to the neighboring towns of the Ruoxu Mountain Range. ”

"So why didn't we choose to go by water in the first place? Wouldn't that be a waste of half a day? ”

Mu Tong on the side explained: "Although the waterway is nearly half faster, in recent years, the waterway is often not smooth, and it is more troublesome to encounter pirates. ”

Yue Qingran asked strangely, "What about the land route?" Will we be able to get there? ”

"This-" Mu Tong glanced at Chu Junmo, and then said: "In recent years, the harvest of the people has not been very good, and the number of people from all over the country who go to the Ruoxu Mountain Range is also increasing, so the closer you are to the mountain range, the more ordinary the bandits appear. ”

"So, it's not even more peaceful to take the land route?" Yue Qingran asked.

Mu Tong bowed, "However, it was only close to the mountain range, and before that, it was relatively safe." ”

Yue Qingran shook her head, "In that case, why don't we just take the waterway?" Even if we get into trouble, we can solve it with the time we save! ”

"It's-"

Seeing that Mu Tong was a little hesitant, Yue Qingran felt a little strange, "Or is it more difficult to solve the troubles on the waterway?" ”

Mu Tong shook his head, "That's not it!" ”

Seeing Mu Tong's gaze slowly shift to Chu Junmo's body.

Yue Qingran's gaze also followed Chu Junmo's body, and seeing the strange look on Chu Junmo's face, she asked a little uncertainly: "The problem is with the prince?" Is it possible? Will you encounter trouble with the prince's good looks? ”

The evil old man behind him choked on the water, "Ahem, cough, cough!" ”

Yue Qingran looked back, "What's wrong?" Isn't that reasonable? ”

Chu Jun covered his lips and coughed lightly, "This king thinks that the most important problem to be solved on this trip is to look at your brain first. ”

Yue Qingran glanced at Chu Junmo and crossed her arms, "It's not a human relationship?" Could it be that the prince is not afraid of water? ”

Seeing the change in the expression on Chu Junmo's face, she knew that she had guessed correctly this time.

Seeing him leave, Yue Qingran hurriedly walked up, "I thought that the prince was not afraid of heaven and earth?" I didn't expect the prince to be a landlubber! ”

Chu Junmo stopped his wheelchair coldly, and looked at Yue Qingran's eyes with coldness, "Say it again!" ”

Where does Yue Qingran know? Chu Junmo once accidentally fell into the water, because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he had never practiced water, and because of this, it was the first time he really faced life and death since he was a child.

Although he was rescued later, he has always caused an indelible shadow in his heart, if there is no waveless lake, he can still control the fear in his heart, let alone let others discover his weakness, he often walks to the water's edge, just to practice driving away the fear in his heart.

But no matter how calm he is on the surface, once he encounters the turbulent current, the fear in his heart can no longer be hidden.

Sensing Chu Junmo's changing expression, Yue Qingran hurriedly changed her tone, "No, no, no, I didn't mean that, the prince is afraid that the water doesn't matter, wouldn't it be better if we stayed in the cabin and didn't go out?" Moreover, I am so water-based, I can protect the prince! ”

Chu Junmo snorted coldly, "Have you rested well?" Let's go! ”

"Yes!"

"Lord Wang, are we going to turn the waterway?" Yue Qingran followed towards the carriage and kept chattering in Chu Junmo's ear.

"Don't even think about it!"

Yue Qingran pressed Chu Junmo's wheelchair, "Lord Wang, you just think about it, you see, taking the waterway can save a lot of trouble, and we can spend more time looking for the Ruoxu Forest." ”

Chu Junmo's whole face instantly turned cold, "This king said to take the land route, don't you understand?" ”

Yue Qingran's hand subconsciously shrank back, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately straightened his chest, "Obviously, there are not many days left for us, even if we reach our destination successfully, we don't know how much more time it will take to find Ruoxu Forest, even if we are very lucky and find Ruoxu Forest in the shortest possible time, but whether there is really anything recorded in the Baicao Record in it remains to be verified, but if even Ruoxu Forest does not have what we are looking for, then the method of curing the prince will have to be considered separately, Since taking the waterway can save so much time, why not give it a try? ”
