The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Chapter 22 Prince Benevolence

Xie Tianlin sighed heavily: "Uncle, please stand up! The journey is long and dangerous. I think it would be better if you just sell the carriage to us and then find a way to go home by yourself, okay?"

After hearing this, both Su Lun and Uncle Liu were stunned, especially Su Lun, whose clenched fists slowly loosened. At this moment, he realized that he had misunderstood the other party and judged him by his own standards.

"Thank you, sir! The price of this carriage should be twenty taels of silver, but if you think it's too expensive, you only need to pay ten taels... No, no, no, five taels!" The driver said tremblingly. For the driver, the carriage is an important tool for their livelihood, and it is not easy to buy a new one. Therefore, the price of twenty taels of silver is not expensive. However, because he was worried that he would encounter an accident, the driver had to lower the price to protect himself.

"Then let's make it twenty taels of silver. In addition, we will pay you an extra ten taels of silver as compensation for your fright." Xie Tianlin made the decision promptly.

Hearing this, Su Lun quickly took out thirty taels of silver from his purse and handed it to Uncle Liu. Xie Tianlin noticed this move, but did not say much, only a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

The driver took the silver with trembling hands and thanked them repeatedly. Then, as if there were evil spirits chasing him, he ran away in the direction he came from without looking back.

"Mr. Su, how is your arm? Is it seriously injured?" Xie Tianlin noticed with his sharp eyes that Su Lun's sleeves were already stained with blood, and blood was dripping down the corners of his clothes.

"It's nothing serious, don't worry. Last night I asked the waiter at the inn for some wound medicine. You should be able to recover soon after applying some of it." Su Lun replied calmly.

"Oh, I see. Mr. Su is really thoughtful." Xie Tianlin exclaimed.

"Thank you for your compliment, sir. It just happened to be my thought." Su Lun smiled a little embarrassedly.

Su Lun quickly applied medicine to his arm, and soon the wound stopped bleeding. He then took out a piece of clothing from his bag, tore off a piece of the cuff, and simply bandaged it.

"This is not a place to stay for long. Let's pack up and leave as soon as possible." Seeing that Su Lun's wound had been treated, Xie Tianlin said solemnly.

"Okay." Su Lun nodded and began to pack his luggage.

Su Lun carefully put the slingshot he treasured into his arms. This seemingly insignificant gadget had played a great role in the previous fierce battle. If it weren't for it, the battle would not have been so smooth. Xie Tianlin, who was standing by, bent down and picked up the bow and arrows scattered on the ground. You know, his archery skills were taught by General Xiao himself, and he never missed a shot. Previously, it was too conspicuous to carry a bow and arrow, but now with a carriage, it is much more convenient to carry it.

"Thank you, sir. Please get in the carriage! But my driving skills are not very proficient. If there is any incompetence, I hope you can forgive me." Su Lun lifted the curtain of the carriage and said respectfully.

"Your arm is injured, so let me drive." Xie Tianlin said insistently.

"How can we do that?" Su Lun responded anxiously, "My injuries look scary, but they are actually not serious. They are just more serious on the surface."

"Then let's both make concessions and drive together." Before he finished speaking, Xie Tianlin took the driver's seat. Seeing this, Su Lun had no choice but to sit next to him.

At this moment, Su Lun's heart was like a turbulent sea, with mixed emotions. Although he had been with this prince for less than two days, he was already deeply impressed. When he first saw the prince decisively execute those killers, he mistakenly thought that the other party was a cold-blooded and ruthless person. However, the fact was not so. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only cared about letting his men rest in peace, but also did not look down on him because of the difference in status, and always treated him with courtesy. Moreover, the prince also treated Uncle Liu who was unfortunately involved in the dispute kindly. Everyone he killed was an enemy. Su Lun knew very well that being kind to the enemy was tantamount to seeking death. But the education he had received for a long time made it difficult for him to make such a decision easily.

It is a blessing for the people of Dashun to have such a decisive but benevolent crown prince! Su Lun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He secretly made up his mind: no matter what difficulties and obstacles he encountered, he would do his best to protect this prince! Not only for the promise, but also for the future of Dashun.

"Mr. Su, what are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in it?" Xie Tianlin asked softly, looking at Su Lun, who was frowning and thinking about something.

"Sir, it's nothing. I'm just a little worried about the pursuers behind me..." Su Lun came back to his senses and shook his head slightly, but there was still a hint of worry in his eyes.

Xie Tianlin understood Su Lun's worries. After all, there might be countless enemies chasing them. However, he decided to try his best to make Su Lun relax: "When the time comes, things will be fine. Sir, don't worry too much. Just be more careful in everything."

Although Xie Tianlin himself was filled with anxiety and tension, he knew that he had to remain calm at this moment and give Su Lun some confidence.

He roughly calculated that it was still nearly 200 miles to Jinzhou. As they were not familiar with the road conditions, it would be extremely dangerous to continue traveling after dark. Therefore, they had no choice but to speed up their pace and try to reach a place where they could rest before dark.

Time was running out, and they kept whipping their horses, galloping on the road. The wind whistled past their ears, and the dust was full of air. Both of them were tense and did not dare to relax at all.

When night fell, they finally stopped the carriage. At this time, both the people and the horses were exhausted. Fortunately, there was a meadow nearby for the horses to eat. At this time, the two hurriedly ate some dry food. Su Lun invited Xie Tianlin to rest in the carriage, while he leaned outside the carriage alone, slightly closed his eyes to conserve his energy, but kept his ears alert, not wanting to miss any movement around him.

"Mr. Su, please relax for a while. We can take turns to rest later to avoid exhaustion." Xie Tianlin advised in a gentle tone.

At Xie Tianlin's insistence, Su Lun finally got into the carriage. At first, he just wanted to take a short nap, but he fell into a deep sleep!

Thinking of how Su Lun had protected him like a hen protecting her chicks during the day, Xie Tianlin couldn't bear to wake him up, so he had to sit quietly by the side. When midnight came, he couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep.
