Zhu Yuan then waved his hand and said, "Brother Bai, don't be in a hurry to thank me. I didn't let you do this for nothing. You have to treat me to a meal!"

After he said that, Ma Qiao became excited: "That's right, that's right, you have to treat us to a big dinner!"

The governor smiled and said, "How about this, most of you are in the capital for the first time. I went to report on my work a few days ago, and you had to be on duty and didn't have much fun. Tomorrow I will stay on duty and you can go out and play for a day. All expenses will be paid by the Bai brothers and sisters. How do you think?"

Everyone clapped their hands, and Bai Jiyue smiled: "Don't worry, we brothers and sisters will definitely not be stingy, and we will make sure you have good food and drink tomorrow!"

Everyone was discussing where to go tomorrow. After various discussions, they decided to go to Yanshui Lake in the suburbs of Beijing.

Except for the prefect, everyone here is very young. When they start discussing fun, they immediately show the liveliness of youth. They discuss what to bring for food tomorrow, what to wear, whether to ride a horse or a car, etc. The atmosphere is unprecedentedly warm.

Bai Jiyue looked at them with a smile and felt herself getting excited.

In modern times, she was discovered and trained to be a spy at a very young age. Even when she was a teenager, she always remembered her identity and never dared to relax herself. Instead, when she came to this ancient strange world, she truly became a girl!

The youthful liveliness unique to teenagers sprouted again in her body, making her feel truly young. Seeing those young people discussing enthusiastically, her heart was filled with joy.

After looking for a while, her eyes inadvertently turned and fell on the black figure next to her, and she was slightly surprised.

Several men participated in the discussion. Even a steady man like Bai Jiri blushed from the discussion. But Ming Yuan sat alone in the corner, watching them with a detached look, as if he was looking down on everyone from above!

Bai Jiyue actually caught a glimpse of the sense of superiority and condescension of a superior from his eyes and expression!

At that moment, the doubts hidden in her heart surfaced again. Is he really not a noble?

Perhaps sensing Bai Jiyue's gaze, Ming Yuan turned around and looked over. Bai Jiyue smiled at him generously: "You're going too, right?"

When she looked at Ming Yuan just now, she felt that he didn't seem to be interested in playing with them! But for some reason, she still hoped that he could go.

Ming Yuan looked at her quietly for a moment before asking, "Do you want me to go?"

"nature!"

The corners of Mingyuan's lips slowly curled up, "Then I'll go."

He had to go, she was going with those men, how could he feel at ease? But he didn't plan to go with them, he planned to follow them quietly.

But since she took the initiative to invite him, he was happy to go along. It was a pleasure to be able to travel with her.

Everyone discussed for a while before dispersing and making their own preparations according to the previous plan.

On the second day, everyone got dressed and washed, and taking with them plenty of food, seven people rode seven tall horses and set out from the post station toward the outskirts of Beijing.

They were all young men, full of energy and vitality. In addition, they all looked good, and the tall and handsome horses they rode also looked imposing, which attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Before leaving the city gate, Ma Qiao was already feeling a little proud, and rode his horse shoulder to shoulder with Bai Jiyue: "Jiyue, did you see that girl just now? She was winking at me, but I don't like her. In my heart, no one can compare to you!"

"Don't even think about someone who has already broken off the engagement. It's more realistic for you to fall in love with that girl." As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice rang out, and then a black figure inserted himself between them.

Bai Jiyue's sight was blocked by Ming Yuan's tall figure, and he did not know whether to laugh or cry. He told Ma Qiao not to have any thoughts, but from what position was he speaking?

Being choked by Ming Yuan's words, Ma Qiao suddenly became unhappy: "What does it have to do with you?"

His voice suddenly rose, attracting the attention of Bai Yiri who was walking in front of him. He turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing, big brother!" Bai Jiyue responded and spurred her horse to talk to her big brother. She really didn't want to bother with those two boring men.

After leaving the city gate, the official road was slightly wider than that in the city, so everyone rode their horses quickly. The sun was shining brightly and the spring breeze was blowing on their faces, which was quite pleasant.

After jogging for a while, a three-way intersection appeared in front of them. Bai Jiri led the way: "Go this way, it won't take long to reach Yanshui Lake."

The small road they turned onto was not as spacious as the official road, so everyone slowed down. After walking for a while, they saw two carriages moving forward in front of them.

The path was narrow, and it was difficult to pass a horse-drawn carriage, so everyone had to slow down and follow the carriage. The carriage was moving at a decent speed at first, but someone in the carriage seemed to have said something, and then the carriage slowed down even more.

Bai Jiyue and the others were gradually becoming impatient as they followed behind, but they had to endure it because the road was narrow and difficult to overtake.

Finally, the road ahead became a little wider, and several people sped up and passed the carriage. Just when Bai Jiyue was overtaking, the horse pulling the carriage was suddenly startled, neighed, and stood up, causing the carriage behind to bump heavily, and a cry of "Ouch" was heard from inside.

Bai Jiyue hurriedly touched her chest. She knew why the horse was frightened, because she was holding a little bird in her arms.

Although the chick is small, it is a spiritual animal. The horse was probably frightened because it sensed the chick's aura.

She hurriedly dismounted and was about to apologize to the people in the carriage, but she saw the curtain lifted and a graceful figure walked out.

It was a young girl. Although she had a pretty face, she was heavily made up and wore gold and silver jewelry, as if she was afraid that others would not be able to tell who she was from. She looked really tacky.

When Bai Jiyue saw her, the words of apology he was about to say were stuck in his throat.

The girl was startled when she saw Bai Jiyue, then a mocking smile appeared on her face: "I was wondering who it was, it turns out I ran into an old friend!"

Bai Jiyue frowned and her face turned cold. She didn't answer, but got on her horse and was about to leave.

When the girl saw her leaving, she raised her voice and said, "Why, Bai Jiyue, you didn't even say hello to an acquaintance? Did you escape from the Dark Stone Wasteland? Are you afraid of being reported and arrested?"

"We followed the governor and came back with a legitimate reason!" A silent voice answered for Bai Jiyue.

The girl turned around and saw that it was Bai Jiri who spoke. She smiled and said, "Oh, the second brother is back too!"

Bai Jiyue rode his horse to Bai Jiri's side and said to him in a neither loud nor soft voice: "Brother, why do you have to explain so much to irrelevant people? Let's hurry up and get on with our journey!"

The young girl sighed when she heard this and said, "People always think that people will turn against their parents when they become successful, but I didn't expect that the exiled people would be so arrogant. To be honest, untouchables are untouchables, they don't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is!"
