Women dressed as men: powerful officials

"Where are you going?" Zhang Yue looked at Xu Yuan suspiciously.

Xuyuan is not very courageous and never goes out alone.

Not only did I tell him today that I was going out, but I was also going to be gone for two or three days.

Zhang Yue's intuition told him that there must be something hidden behind the wish.

And it’s a big deal.

"There have been a lot more people in the north recently. I'm afraid the patch I saw before has been discovered, so I want to go and take a look. If it hasn't been discovered yet, I'll pick all the ginseng and sell it for money."

When they were young, they had nothing to do, so they often ran to the desert.

I unexpectedly discovered a place full of ginseng.

Sometimes they would secretly pick some and sell them for some money.

Only Xu Yuan and Zhang Yue knew about this.

Every time they went to collect the information, one person would cover for the other.

Now, this is also the best way to deceive Xu Wenxian and Zhang Yue.

I don’t want to lie to others when I make a wish, especially to my loved ones.

But she had no choice.

If Xu Wenxian knew that she was planning to take the tribute, he would probably break her legs tonight.

Although Zhang Yue would not stop her, he would definitely ask to go together, otherwise neither of them would go.

Therefore, making a wish is the only way.

Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Zhang Yue was not suspicious and said, "It's not good that someone has discovered it, but you haven't recovered yet, so I'll go and you can cover for me."

"Brother, it's time to join the army soon. The only thing you need to do now is to practice martial arts. Leave the rest to me. Also, if you join the army, you should keep some money on you. Our family doesn't have much money, so we can only make money by ourselves. I won't let anyone look down on you."

Zhang Yue nodded heavily upon hearing this.

The moon was rising higher than the eyebrows, and the two finally returned home.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the food. After eating, Xu Yuan learned a few moves from Zhang Yue as usual, and then closed the door to read.

Only Xu Wenxian looked at the light that had not been turned off until almost midnight and sighed softly.

Early the next morning, Xu Yuan and Zhang Yue went out together.

They still parted at the city gate. After seeing Zhang Yue leave, Xu Yuan immediately rented a horse, bought some dry food and put it together with the dry food he brought from home, and rode out.

The sun is strong at noon.

Make a wish and go straight into the desert.

Sishui County is the county seat on the border between Shuozhou and the Geshu tribe.

There are troops stationed outside the county, but the desert is so vast that it is impossible to guard every place. Therefore, there are also many merchants traveling back and forth and trading between the two places.

If there were no war, Tianqi and Geshu would get along well with each other.

However, the Geshu tribe does not have much food. If they encounter a natural disaster and run out of food, they will plan to attack Sishui County.

In the previous life, the war was caused by this.

It’s just that the war came quickly and went away quickly.

I made a wish and walked along, and soon I saw horse hoof prints in the desert.

She dismounted and examined it carefully, then murmured, "The hoof prints are new, and there are also wheel prints. Is it the person who rented the entire teahouse, or the person who robbed the tribute?"

After making the wish, he denied the last sentence.

The tribute was robbed a long time ago, and the desert is windy and sandy, so it is impossible for the horse hoof prints and wheel marks to remain.

If this were the case, it would have been discovered by the court long ago.

So, it could only be the group of people who rented the second floor of the teahouse.

That is, the Third Prince’s men.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan's eyes changed slightly, and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

The horseshoe prints are so clear, which only means that the person walked there not long ago and may turn back at any time.

Xuyuan did not hesitate any longer, he jumped on the horse and rode away.

The next moment, the horse cried out in pain. Xu Yuan, who was holding the reins, was thrown out before he could react.

His whole body felt like it was falling apart, so he didn't care about anything else and quickly got up. He saw a silver coin in the air, covered in blood.

It's horse blood.

A horse-drawn carriage slowly approached the sand dunes.

Xu Yuan wanted to run away, but there were people everywhere. She couldn't help but sigh, curiosity really was the killer, she shouldn't have gotten off the horse to look at the horseshoe prints.

When the carriage stopped in front of him, Xu Yuan bowed and said, "I am just passing by here. Please give me some convenience."

The wind blew and the curtains moved slightly.

But he never revealed any trace of what was inside the carriage.

I didn't even think about finding out what was going on when I made the wish. I just wished I could bury my head lower so that I couldn't see anything. That would be the best.

After making the wish, no one responded.

She paused, then said, "Please give me some convenience."

After saying that, Xu Yuan raised his eyes slightly and looked at the car curtain that was moving slightly in the wind.

Finally, a white jade folding fan came out.

Xu Yuan watched the white jade fan lift a corner of the curtain, then immediately lowered his head and stopped looking.

Bei Yao looked at Xu Yuan, who was looking down and pleasing in front of him, and smiled and said, "I am also a passerby, passing by here, and got lost. I was afraid of wild animals, so I set some traps. I am sorry for scaring your horse."

The man has a nice voice.

The sound is as crisp and pleasant as pearls rolling on a jade plate.

Whether in the past life or this life, Xuyuan had never heard such a beautiful voice.

She couldn't help but look up slightly, trying to see who was sitting in the carriage, but when her eyes rested on the pair of white shoes and boots, her rationality returned and she made a wish without moving her eyes even a bit.

She was willing to be polite and said: "In that case, I will take my leave."

After making a wish, he was about to leave.

However, the people on all sides refused to budge and showed no intention of letting him pass.

She turned around and saw that the white jade fan had been put away and the curtains were closed.

As if he noticed her gaze, Xuyuan heard the man speak again.

"I have been here for a day. The desert is different from other places. If I stay for a few more days, I am afraid I will die here. Young Master, are you willing to show me the way?"

Xu Yuan said, "I came from Sishui County this morning. There are still horse hoof prints on the road. You can just follow these horse hoof prints back."

"But what if the horse hoof prints disappear halfway through the journey? What should I do?"

Hearing those words which were obviously filled with laughter, Xu Yuan realized that all the talk about being lost and being no different from other places was just an act.

The people in the carriage just didn't want her to leave.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan's face turned cold and he said, "Young Master, you are traveling in a luxurious carriage with many followers. I think you are a noble young master. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly, so as not to delay your time."

“I just like dealing with smart people.”

Bei Yao lifted the curtain of the carriage, but did not stand up. He just lowered his eyes slightly, looked at Xu Yuan, and said, "I am going to the Geshu tribe. You lead the way. I will ensure your safety on this trip. After the matter is accomplished, I will also grant you what you want."

When Xu Yuan heard the voice, he looked up and couldn't help but be dazed.

The man had a handsome face and cold eyes. Just one look from a distance was enough to capture her heart.

Xuyuan couldn't even find any words to describe this person.

She had seen many handsome men in her previous life, and Shen Yichuan was one of them.

But no one she had ever met was as good as this one.

Just like an exquisite painting, one glance at it can make people forget everything around them and just immerse themselves in the painting.

Seeing Xu Yuan's expression, Bei Yao lowered his eyes, and his eyes became three points colder. He put away his folding fan, the curtain dropped again, and then he spoke coldly.

"Young Master, it is impolite to stare at someone like this."
