The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me

For the rest of the journey, Su Yi shamelessly stayed in the carriage with various excuses and was unwilling to go out. He sat in the carriage outside with Ling Feng and Ling Yu.

Mu Jin gradually got used to such a shameless Su Yi. Apart from his bad words, Su Yi was very caring towards Mu Jin along the way and did not show any disrespect.

On the third day of May, they entered the territory of Taixin.

After discussing with Mu Jin, Su Yi decided to stay in the city and rest for a while.

When the carriage passed through the city gate, it had to stop for inspection, so there was a long line of people outside the city gate waiting to enter the city.

Mu Jin and Su Yi heard a noisy voice of begging outside the car. They looked at each other, and Su Yi lifted the curtain to take a look.

Under the city wall, there was a group of refugees who looked like they had come to Taixin City from other places. There were both men and women. Their clothes were a little worn out, and they were pushed and shoved by the guards guarding the city.

The group of refugees knelt and kowtowed, constantly explaining and begging to the guards guarding the city.

However, the guards guarding the city were not so patient and stabbed several of the leaders with their spears. The situation immediately got out of control.

The refugees gathered outside the city wall seemed to have fear and anger on their faces. After one person made a move, they immediately followed suit and started fighting with the guards guarding the city.

Su Yi went in and out and whispered a few words to Ling Yu, and Mu Jin saw Ling Yu walk into the crowd of people making trouble in front, and soon saw Ling Yu running back.

"My Lord, I heard that these people migrated from Wulan City. Because there are so many of them, the city guards asked them to pay half a tael of silver per person before they could enter the city."

"Why are there so many people from Wulan City suddenly here?" Su Yi asked

Ling Yu said: "This Wulan City was harvested from the Beiqi people last year. I heard that ~"

Ling Yu glanced at Mu Jin and said, "I heard that Beiqi State asked Dongyue State to cede five cities before they would stop the war. Among these five cities is Wulan City."

"Because Wulan City is the closest to Taixin City, some local people think that Beiqi people are brutal. They are afraid that Dongyue will really return Wulan City to Beiqi, so they moved to Taixin City. Now these Taixin City guards are just taking the opportunity to make money."

At this time, a woman in the distance was holding a child and crying loudly.

"Please, sir, please be flexible. We don't have even half a tael of silver when we add up all our money. The child has a high fever. Please let us go into the city to take him to the doctor."

The guard at the gate seemed accustomed to this, and with a merciless look on his face, he pushed the woman holding the child.

"Go away, go away. Didn't you say you have no money? You can't see a doctor in the city if you don't have money. Don't come to our Taixin City to cause trouble."

The woman who was pushed to the ground started crying while holding her child.

Su Yi stared for a moment. Ling Feng and Ling Yu couldn't help but look back at him.

He turned his eyes away expressionlessly, not paying any attention at all, gently lowered the curtain and said, "Let's go."

Mu Jin happened to see this scene at this moment. She suddenly felt a little indescribable.

Su Yi stared at the group of people, his eyes were as cold as ice, making it difficult to tell whether it was pity or ridicule. Although it was only for a moment, Su Yi lowered his eyes and looked away.

But that was also an expression Mu Jin had never seen on Su Yi before, like the cold snow in winter, icy and biting.

After the guards took the two taels of silver Ling Yu paid, they let them into the city. When the carriage started, Mu Jin shouted, "Wait."

Su Yi glanced at Mu Jin and saw Mu Jin took out a few pills from his arms and called Ling Feng.

"Give these pills to the mother and child, and tell them to dissolve them in water and feed them to the child to reduce the fever."

Ling Yu glanced at Su Yi, Su Yi nodded, and Ling Yu took the medicine and walked towards the mother and son.

Mu Jin looked from afar and saw the woman holding the medicine, seemingly begging Ling Yu to take her into the city. After being rejected by Ling Yu, she stopped begging and continued to look around at the crowd with an expressionless face.

Su Yi sneered, "Ajin, this makes me seem cold and heartless."

Mu Jin asked back: "Then who are you?"

Su Yi raised his eyebrows, wondering if it was possible.

They entered the city and while they were having dinner, Ling Feng went out for a while and came back to talk to Su Yi for a while.

Mu Jin couldn't hear clearly from a distance, and she was too lazy to listen, because during this journey with Su Yi, one of Ling Feng or Ling Yu would always disappear from time to time, and come back to report to Su Yi in private.

Several people bathed and rested in the inn in the city for half a day, ate, fed the horses, took some dry food and water, and then left the city when the city gate was closed and took the official road to the north.

On the way, Mu Jin asked Su Yi: "How many days will it take to reach Yanmen Pass?"

Su Yi replied: "Three days at the earliest."

Mu Jin nodded.

Su Yi glanced at Mu Jin and said, "I heard that Su Yuntian went to Beiqi Camp yesterday. As for how to discuss it, it is still unknown."

Hearing Su Yi say this, Mu Jin frowned. At this moment, she wished she could reach Yanmen Pass immediately, because she didn't believe in the Dongyue court, and she didn't believe that Su Yuntian would save Mu Yan.

The sky gradually darkened, but Su Yi was not as noisy as usual tonight. It could even be said that he was too quiet, which made Mu Jin feel a little uncomfortable.

But Mu Jin didn’t think much about it. She yawned, felt a little sleepy, and prepared to lie down.

Just at this moment, a flock of jackdaws suddenly flew up in surprise from the woods, and faintly, the sound of horse hooves could be heard approaching!

Before Mu Jin could react, he suddenly heard Ling Yu outside cursing something, and then said to Ling Feng: "I'm following you, hurry up!"

The whip hit the horse with a "snap". The horse was frightened and immediately ran forward with all four hooves.

As the carriage ran through the mountains and fields, it suddenly began to shake violently.

Mu Jin fell forward without paying attention. Fortunately, Su Yi was quick-witted and prepared, and rushed forward in time, grabbed Mu Jin's arm, and pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

Mu Jin suddenly tensed up and looked up at Su Yi. However, Su Yi gently patted her back and whispered to her, "Don't be afraid."

Because their faces were close to each other, their breaths intersected, giving Mu Jin goose bumps all over his body.

Mu Jin frowned and looked at Su Yi in the moonlight. She felt suddenly at ease because of his tight grip on her hand.

In this situation, everyone knows that things are not peaceful outside.

Su Yi, leaning against the car window, pursed his thin lips, and his usually beautiful peach blossom eyes suddenly became sharp. He gently lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked out silently through the narrow gap in the curtain.

Mu Jin also looked outside in the direction Su Yi was looking.

He could only see the overlapping shadows of the trees outside; he couldn't make out anything else.

Although she couldn't see anything, but looking at Su Yi's posture, she knew that the unrest outside was probably directed at Su Yi.

She vaguely felt that this time things might not be so simple.
