Escape after crossing

Before, when she bought someone and signed a contract with them, she never asked or inquired whether there would be any trouble in releasing the contract.

Mingyue and Mingxi both blushed and lowered their heads when they heard Jiang Ziluo talk about marriage. They were both seventeen years old, and they knew a lot about many things.

The three of them rode their horses again and headed south, but Jiang Ziluo was thinking about accepting Mingyue. What did Mingxishi think? After thinking about it, Jiang Ziluo finally knew.

She was afraid of being alone with Leng Chenming, and it seemed that Leng Chenming already knew this, so she was just being controlled. But what was she afraid of?

Are you afraid that you will really fall in love with him? Or are you afraid that your love will not be reciprocated? Or are you afraid that in this era of having three wives and four concubines, he will also have three wives and four concubines?

Jiang Ziluo still couldn't figure it out. He decided not to be alone if he could avoid it. He didn't care about it. The most important thing was to find herbs and make an antidote to help the Ninth Prince detoxify.

Mingyue and Mingxi didn't know what Jiang Ziluo was going to do, so they could only follow him in confusion. When they knew they had to follow Jiang Ziluo yesterday, they were reluctant at first, but they had no choice but to obey orders.

Later, Xuan Yi told them what he knew, and the two of them changed their minds. However, they were still a little dissatisfied in their hearts, but they could not show it.

The two medicinal herbs that Jiang Ziluo needed were Water Spirit Lotus and Water Cloud Flower. These two herbs grew near water and they liked humidity, and they were relatively abundant in the south.

People who don’t know will think they are grass. Only people who know how to make poisons and detoxify know these two herbs. The leaves of the water lotus are similar to the leaves of the octagonal lotus, but they are much smaller than the leaves of the octagonal lotus, only as big as a baby's palm.

The root of the water lotus can be used to detoxify. The root is like the root of modern thatch, with small sections, but with a diameter of seven to ten centimeters, and it will not bloom.

The water cloud flower has only three to five leaves, which are long and slender. The flowers it blooms are round-leafed, and most of them have five petals, some of which have four. The one that Jiang Ziluo wanted me to have were the four-petal ones.

Four-petal ones are rare, but they do exist. Fortunately, water cloud flowers grow in clusters, and there will always be two or three flowers in a cluster. If you are lucky, you can see five or six.

After galloping for a long time, they were already out of Jiangdu City. There was a place to drink tea and rest beside the official road. Jiang Ziluo, Mingyue and Mingxi stopped and ordered tea and food in this teahouse.

Jiang Ziluo asked the two to sit down and eat with him, but they naturally refused at first, saying that they were slaves and subordinates and could not eat at the same table with their master.

Jiang Ziluo told them that there was no distinction between master and servant here, and now they were outside, so they didn't need to care so much. Seeing that the two insisted on not sitting down, Jiang Ziluo made a harsh statement, either sit down and eat, or leave directly.

The two of them were afraid that Jiang Ziluo would chase them away again, so they finally chose to sit down. There was no other food in the small teahouse, just the usual cakes at home, and the tea in the tea was not good tea. Jiang Ziluo didn't care, she could get used to it.

But Mingyue and Mingxi couldn't eat or drink anything. It wasn't because they were too spoiled, but they were really pitiful when they were young. After being picked up by the Princess of Zhenxi and brought home, they no longer lived a miserable life.

Except for the time when they were training in the mountains and needed to hunt to fill their stomachs, they had never eaten such bad food. Jiang Ziluo saw that the two of them were not used to it, but didn't say anything.

But he cursed Leng Chenming in his heart. It was all Leng Chenming's fault. Jiang Ziluo was so anxious to leave that he didn't prepare any food. It seems that if he encounters an inn or a restaurant again, he will have to stop and prepare some food that is easy to take with him.

Jiang Ziluo also casually filled his stomach and said to the two of them, "Let's fill our stomachs first, and then we can have a good meal when we come across a restaurant or inn later."

"Miss, that's not necessary..." Mingyue felt that she would get used to it slowly, and Jiang Ziluo said that her family was an ordinary country family, so such food would be inevitable in the future.

"Really?" Mingxi is a foodie. When she is with Mingyue, she basically listens to Mingyue. It is okay to endure it for the time being. Later, Mingyue will buy some delicious food or Mingxi's favorite food to reward Mingxi.

So Mingxi was a little excited when she heard Jiang Ziluo say that they were going to a restaurant or an inn, and couldn't help asking. Mingyue and Mingxi heard Xuanyi talk about Jiang Ziluo, and Xuanyi just said that Jiang Ziluo was good at fighting.

There was no mention of any cooperation between Jiang Ziluo and Leng Chenming. Mingyue thought more about it. They were given Jiang Ziluo by their master, and they had no choice.

Moreover, Jiang Ziluo also said that her family is an ordinary family and they will definitely not be able to eat whatever they want like before.

Mingxi didn't think too much about it. She felt that since her master could give them to Jiang Ziluo, it meant that Jiang Ziluo must have some outstanding qualities. At worst, if she felt hungry in the future, she could just go out and buy some delicious food to satisfy herself.

Anyway, she has saved some money over the years. Although they obeyed Leng Chenming's orders and sold their bodies to Leng Chenming, they still had monthly salary and extra money.

Jiang Ziluo didn't know what they were thinking, so he answered Mingxi directly, "Of course it's true. I was in a hurry to go out today and didn't bring any food. We came across a restaurant, so we had a good meal and then packed some food that is convenient to take with us."

"Yes, miss, I've made note of it." Mingyue replied.

"By the way, don't call me Miss from now on. Call me by my name. My family members call me Lolo, so you can call me that too."

"How can that be? You are the master, we cannot overstep our authority. If you don't want to call me Miss, then just call me Young Lady from now on!" Mingyue's thoughts changed quickly.

"As long as I'm not Miss, you can call me whatever you want."

Jiang Ziluo stopped hesitating and looked around the teahouse to see that there were few people and it wasn't busy, so he called the owner of the teahouse and asked.

"Boss, where is this place further ahead?"

"Sir, Qinghe County is 20 miles ahead."

“Is Qinghe County big?”

"It's not small. There's a dock there. Although it's not big, there are still many merchants coming and going."

"The pier? Is that where there are lots of fish and shrimp?"

"Yes, there are live fish, live shrimp, shellfish, snails and the like, but they are only available at the morning market, which usually runs from the morning to the evening."

Jiang Ziluo calculated that Maoshi to Chenshi is the modern time of 5 am to 9 am. Obviously, it is no longer available now. Jiang Ziluo wondered if these two herbs could be found in Qinghe County.

But she made up her mind to stop in Qinghe County today and ask if she could find the two herbs. She would also go to the morning market the next morning and take a look.

Now that they were all out, they could see and learn something new. Since they had made up their minds, Jiang Ziluo paid the money and took Mingyue and Mingxi to Qinghe County again.

Along the way, Jiang Ziluo did not ride as fast as before, but occasionally stopped to the roadside to look around. She wanted to see if the area near Qinghe County was suitable for the growth of the two herbs.

Mingyue and Mingxi followed Jiang Ziluo. They didn't know what Jiang Ziluo was doing, so Mingyue asked in confusion.

"Girl, are you looking for something?"
