Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

The idea is there, but there are certain difficulties in implementing it, such as finding the way.

Take their previous escape from famine as an example. If there were not a few "experienced people" in their team, it would have been difficult for them to just walk to the nearest town, let alone find the right way in a foreign country where they were unfamiliar with the place.

Of course, it is not impossible to find the people of Tiansheng to lead the way.

But on the one hand, what she had to do was time-sensitive and could not be delayed. She did not have time to walk slowly and find the direction; secondly, in ancient times when there was no navigation or positioning, the living area of ​​​​the people was extremely limited, and the vast majority of people never even left the town or state where they lived in their entire lives.

Therefore, it is really a big problem to find someone to lead the way in a short time.

Lin Xiaoyue racked her brains, thinking hard about a feasible plan. After countless thoughts flashed through her mind, she set her sights on the Seventh Uncle.

There's no way. Among the people she knows, apart from the Seventh Prince who is the most knowledgeable, who else can have the opportunity to go abroad and have some fun?

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Lin Xiaoyue took Chunxing, Xiaocao, and a stupid mule that she couldn't get rid of, and rode her bicycle to the Gucheng Pass.

Although the stupid mule followed Lin Xiaoyue to the border, on weekdays, except for Xiaocao and Ergou who took turns feeding it or taking it out for a walk, most of the time it found fun on its own and was not afraid of being kidnapped.

The main reason was that most people had seen the mule often strolling around the princess, and knew that it was raised by the princess, so few people were so blind as to dare to touch the mule.

Even if there were a few indigenous people in Sangguo Town who did not know the inside story and were still thinking of taking advantage of the situation to kidnap the mule to their own home, after the mule "kicked its rear" in protest, they were scared and stopped having those inappropriate thoughts.

Although he was free from all restraints following Lin Xiaoyue, Uncle Mule usually walked around in a carefree manner, going wherever he wanted. No one controlled him and he was very free.

But the mule was not happy with the extra freedom, so when it saw Lin Xiaoyue taking Chunxing and Xiaocao out on a bicycle, it wanted to follow them. And in order to show that it was more "obedient" than the bicycle in front of Lin Xiaoyue, it really struggled with the bicycle along the way.

Sometimes he was competing in speed, running to the front and shaking his head; sometimes he came back and stood beside the bicycle, sticking his head towards Lin Xiaoyue.

Several times, Lin Xiaoyue was nearly pushed off the bicycle by the stupid mule that was rushing around. She was so angry that she pushed the mule aside because it was blocking her view of the road.

Mule: ...

If I get angry, I will run away from home.

Lin Xiaoyue, who was pedaling her bicycle hard, didn't even pay attention to the dog. She was still thinking for a while about how to tell her Seventh Uncle to lead the way.

Mule Master was so angry at Lin Xiaoyue's indifferent attitude that he breathed out of his nostrils. He swung his tail, twisted his neck, and went up the mountain path next to him.

Lin Xiaoyue just glanced at it and let it go.

Seeing this, Chun Xing and Xiao Cao wanted to ride their bikes to catch up with it, but Lin Xiaoyue shouted at them to follow. Then they remembered that Master Mule often strolled around by himself and would come back when he had wandered around enough, so they gave up the idea of ​​chasing Master Mule and just followed Lin Xiaoyue.

However, Lin Xiaoyue did not find the Seventh Uncle at the Gucheng Pass, but met the garrison commander stationed in Sangguo Town, as well as the Seventh Uncle, the Prince and others who were traveling with him on the road.

Originally, they didn't need to go this way, but the various passes were frequently attacked, and Sangguo Town was unusually quiet. As the highest decision-makers, they thought of going to Sangguo Town to see if there was anything unusual. By the way, they also wanted to see what the rumored commotion of Princess Le'an in Sangguo Town was all about.

The two sides met on the road, and there was no greeting. When they met, Lin Xiaoyue handed over the verbal matters. After all, the specific chores were handled by people sent by the Seventh Uncle, and Lin Xiaoyue was at best a divine beast to calm people's hearts. Of course, the main reason was that she didn't like to get involved in those messy trivial matters.

After all, there are plenty of ways to make money honestly, and I don't want to take advantage of the situation to do dirty things like corruption, which then requires me to rack my brains and think of ways to cover it up, which is exhausting.

So, with just a few words, he handed over the affairs of Sangguo Town, and then, in full view of everyone, he pulled the Seventh Uncle aside with peace of mind.

Although the others were extremely curious, they were tactful enough not to stretch their necks to eavesdrop.

It's not that the prince had never seen a bicycle before, but the number of new and interesting items that Lin Xiaoyue had sent back to the imperial city was small, and the emperor and his seventh uncle both went to take them, and they were all divided up in no time.

Who would believe it? Who would understand? He was a prince, but he couldn't even get a bicycle.

It’s really... very frustrating.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyue put her bicycle aside and pulled the Seventh Uncle to talk to the side. Her bicycle was parked on the side and... kept blinking the prince's eyes.

Prince: ...glance, ...glance again...

Finally, he couldn't help himself and stretched out his paw towards the bicycle under the curious gaze of Xiaocao and Chunxing.

Everyone was confused as they watched the prince carefully get on his bike, wobbling along the serpentine path, and then... with a plop, he fell to the ground, sprawled out on his back.

Everyone:...

No, no, they saw nothing…

On the other side, after listening to Lin Xiaoyue's bizarre idea that was almost like the Arabian Nights, the Seventh Uncle's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He pointed at Lin Xiaoyue and wanted to say something, but unfortunately, he was choked by his own saliva as soon as he opened his mouth, and all he could say was "cough cough cough..."

Okay, very good. Lin Xiaoyue couldn't hear his rebuttal and unilaterally assumed that he agreed.

That self-righteous look almost broke the Seventh Uncle's defense.

So I'm going to take the risk of being dragged along by you to act as an experienced person, to play around with you, and to cooperate with you unconditionally.

Yes, before Lin Xiaoyue opened her mouth to tell her purpose, she had already found out that the Seventh Uncle did know the way.

I heard from this old guy that when he was young, he had traveled to the Kingdom of Jin and Tiansheng.

The situation between the three countries has always been delicate. In order to enhance understanding and seek ways to coexist, the Seventh Uncle shouldered the mission and embarked on a journey to the enemy country.

During the time he spent in the enemy country, he also witnessed different customs and political structures, and experienced many dangers such as open and assassination.

I never thought that my absurd past could be used by others one day... It's really hard to put it into words.

Seeing that the Seventh Uncle was coughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his back, Lin Xiaoyue kindly patted him on the back, breathed a sigh of relief, and comforted him, "Ah, you are old, why are you still excited? Don't prepare it, it's better to leave today than to wait for a day, just leave tonight, and you can just finish the things on hand in advance."

Seventh Uncle: ...I have a few dirty words to say, but I don’t know whether they should be used or not.

Lin Xiaoyue: ...Just hold it in.
