After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

Fortunately, Qi Min knew a lot of herbs, and they searched for medicine and healed their wounds along the way.

When they found Gao Zhili five days later, the wound on his shoulder was almost healed.

Of course, because he couldn't reveal his identity, Qi Min kept his face covered.

"You're finally here. I was scared to death along the way!" Gao Zhili almost cried for joy when he saw them.

Although he did not encounter any ferocious beasts these days, there were quite a few snakes and insects.

Once he almost stepped on a red poisonous snake. Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise he would have been caught up by it.

Moreover, there was not much dry food left in the bag, although he had tried his best to reduce his food intake in the past few days and only ate one sesame cake a day, and occasionally picked some wild fruits and chestnuts to fill his stomach.

But now there are only five and a half sesame cakes left, and they are beginning to get moldy.

"Eat some dry food first. You haven't had proper food for several days." Gao Zhili opened the bundle containing the sesame cakes and handed it over.

"No, we hunted some game on the way and roasted a pheasant this morning. Here, I left a drumstick for you."

Su Qin looked at Gao Zhili, who was already skinny and pale from hunger, took the bag from him, and took out a still warm chicken leg from his arms and handed it to him.

In fact, every time he and Qi Min hunted game, they would leave some for Gao Zhili. He felt regretful and worried as he hadn't found any in the past few days.

At that time, it would be better to find a safe place for him to hide, at least the three of us would be together.

...

The three of them had been walking in the mountains for more than half a month. They felt that they were completely out of Mingzhou, so they dared to let Su Qinchao go down the mountain alone to investigate.

"How is it?" Gao Zhili stood up and looked at Su Qinchao with hope on his face. He had been out for most of the day and came back with a bag on his back.

"We have reached Yangzhou. After going down the mountain is the nearest village to Yangzhou City. You can eat and take a rest, then go down together." Su Qin took off the bag from his body and handed it to him.

He had just specially gone to the outskirts of the city to buy this, and it was still hot.

"Steamed buns? And scallion pancakes!" Gao Zhili smelled the scent and couldn't wait to open the package.

He took a scallion pancake and started eating, not forgetting to gesture to Qi Min while eating.

"I won't join you. I have important things to do." Qi Min said, then reached out and picked up two meat buns, lifted the cloth on his lips, and stuffed them into his mouth.

After they finished eating, the three of them separated. Qi Min watched the two people's backs slowly walking down the mountain, and then turned around and disappeared into the dense forest.

When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, Su Qinchao took Gao Zhili and found a stream to tidy up their appearance, changed into cleaner clothes, and then strode down the mountain.

After going down the mountain, the two deliberately avoided the village and walked along the path at the foot of the mountain. When they could vaguely see the city gate, they got on the official road and planned to follow the crowd into the city.

"That secret guard is quite good-looking." Seeing that they had finally arrived at a crowded place, Gao Zhili finally had the mind to chat with Su Qinchao.

"How did you tell?" Su Qinchao was very curious. Although Qi Min's lips were exposed when he was eating just now, more than half of his face was still covered.

"Look at his delicate phoenix eyes, his rosy and well-shaped lips, and even though his nose is covered by the cloth, you can still see that it is tall. He must be a very handsome man."

Gao Zhili is very confident that he can't be wrong, given his many years of painting experience.

"I didn't notice it." Su Qinchao played dumb.

"You don't believe it? I'll draw it for you tonight!" Gao Zhili vowed.

"I believe it, but don't you want to sleep?" They have been sleeping on the ground in the open air for a long time. He wants to have a good sleep tonight. He wants to sleep until tomorrow afternoon!

"..." Well, it's time to go to bed.

So when the two of them entered the city, they randomly found a restaurant that they liked and stayed in. After taking a nice hot bath, they drew the curtains and lay down on the bed to sleep in broad daylight.

...

The two of them slept until 2:15 am the next day before waking up one after another.

Only now did the two of them recover their spirits, especially Gao Zhili, whose face looked much rosier.

"I heard that the gardens in Suzhou are unique, with a new scene at every step. I want to go and see them." Su Qinchao sat in Gao Zhili's room, watching him wash.

He didn't want to start working as soon as he got here. Days of running around had left him without any energy. To be honest, he wanted to just take it easy for a few days.

"Go ahead!" Gao Zhili wrung out the towel, put it on his face, and then he let out a sigh of relief. This is how people should live.

He knew what Su Qinchao meant. He had the same idea and thought it would be a good idea to take a break for two days and visit the garden.

They immediately called the waiter and asked which gardens there were in Yangzhou that they could visit.

"Then you have asked the right person!" The waiter squeezed the silver in his hand and said with a smile: "I see that you two are good-looking, are you officials?"

"Why do you ask like that?" Su Qinchao was a little confused.

“If you are an official, you can come in with a business card. Normally the owner will allow it. If you don’t have one, it will be difficult.” The waiter narrowed his eyes and told the truth with a smile.

Those gardens were almost all private properties of wealthy businessmen, and ordinary people could not enter. However, based on his years of experience as a child, he knew that these two were definitely not ordinary people.

"..." Are you still going? Gao Zhili winked at Su Qinchao.

"Go!" Why not go? Find someone to think of a solution. It's so hard to come here, but you haven't been here in your previous life.

After sending the waiter away, Su Qinchao took the list of local officials and started to look through it. He flipped through it three times before he found a relatively familiar name.

"Wang Jizhou, the prefect of Yangzhou, do you know this person?" Su Qinchao pointed at the name on the list and handed it to Gao Zhili.

"Isn't this the young Master Wang who used to compete with me in scientific examinations when we were young?" Gao Zhili looked at the name and the scene at that time emerged in his mind.

It was really a coincidence, but he didn't expect that Young Master Wang was now the head of a prefecture, a position one rank higher than his own.

"So it was him?" After hearing what Gao Zhili said, Su Qinchao also remembered. During the palace examination, Gao Zhili was even surpassed by the eldest son Wang.

At that time, there was a casino in Yueyang that opened a bet for this matter! I didn't expect him to be in Yangzhou, it was really a coincidence.
