After being conquered by a silly and sweet girl, I became the richest man in the world

Before Xiao Mulin could say anything, his attention was attracted by the shouting in front of him.

"Young Master! Two Young Masters!"

He was suspicious and looked carefully. He saw that it was a man in coarse cloth, with a gray linen bag slung over his right shoulder and a string of unlit lanterns in his left hand.

Because he ran so fast, he held his hands on his waist and gasped for breath.

Before the two could respond, the man in coarse cloth said, "You two gentlemen, please go to Dongting Lake. The beginning of autumn is approaching, and the ticket price will be halved for the last two days!"

After saying this, fearing that they would not believe him, the man in coarse cloth took out the notice, pulled the two men aside and said, "Since you look extraordinary, I can give you a lantern for free!"

Xiao Mulin was moved, and pointed at the lantern in his hand and asked, "Are you really going to give this to us?"

The ticket scalper nodded his head, "Guaranteed!"

Chu Yizi didn't want it. The lantern was so ugly. Why would Xiao Mulin, an emperor, be interested in such an ugly lantern?

The lantern was peach-colored, with an unidentified four-legged monster painted on it. Based on this painting skill, Chu Yizi felt that his own paintings were better than his.

It's really hard to evaluate.

He was about to speak when Xiao Mulin turned to look at him, "Mr. Chu, last time you said you would go to Dongting Lake with me to see the lotus, is that still true?"

Chu Yi was speechless for a moment.

Seeing his tangled expression, the vendor quickly tempted him, "Yes, Mr. Chu, it's almost the beginning of autumn. If you don't go now, the lotus will be gone in a few days."

Chu Yizi glanced at Xiao Mulin carefully, and seeing that he had no intention of changing his words, he could only say, "Um... Your Majesty... If Young Master Xiao wants to go, I... am naturally willing to accompany you."

Damn! You're shooting yourself in the foot!

He said he would go with him, it was just a casual remark, why did Xiao Mulin take it seriously!

If I say I won't go now, wouldn't that be deceiving the king?

The two followed the ticket seller to Dongting Lake. The ticket seller was very enthusiastic and talked to them nonstop along the way, praising Dongting Lake as unique in the world.

Chu Yizi only had one question: Why did you need a ticket to travel in ancient times? Didn’t the ancients always regard mountains and rivers as a refined interest?

When material things are involved, the interest in elegance becomes a mess!

"..."

Even though he had millions of complaints in his heart, he was able to suppress them in front of the emperor.

I will risk my life to accompany you.

Chu Yizi and Xiao Mulin took the cart arranged by the ticket seller and it took them three hours to arrive.

He really regretted not sitting directly in his own carriage, because there were a lot of people sitting on the carriage besides them.

And there were five cars in the front and back driving together.

There were old and young, men and women, chattering all the way, making people dizzy.

As the king of a country, Xiao Mulin not only did not complain at all, but was very curious about the matter and had a great time chatting with the old man in the car.

Sure enough, when Chu Yizi arrived, he discovered that this Dongting Lake was really not the same Dongting Lake.

The Dongting Lake in Chu Yizi's memory is the vast and clear Yunmeng Lake, which is breathtaking, boundless and fused with water and sky.

And now this Dongting Lake...

Apart from their names, the two lakes are quite different.

From a distance, it looks like an enlarged version of a lotus pond.

This lake is located at the junction of Beijing and Mengzhou, connected to Wubei Mountain above and the moat below.

and……

He discovered that the ticket seller who was offering half-price tickets was actually an ancient version of a scalper!

It turns out that there were cattle in ancient times!

When he said half-price tickets, he meant that they could sneak in through the cave in the back mountain! The cave was pitch black, and there were all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants!

Chu Yizi, who is afraid of snakes: "..."

He thought he should download an anti-fraud APP. Why didn’t Dong Xiaguo have a national anti-fraud APP!

"Um...Mr. Xiao, are we really going in..."

Chu Yizi suddenly felt that the full ticket price was not that expensive!

Xiao Mulin raised his eyebrows, "Master Chu, do you not want to go in? Or do you not dare to go in?"

How can a man say he is afraid? Upon hearing this, Chu Yizi immediately became angry. He said angrily, "Of course not! Let's go in now!"

After saying that, he was the first to rush into the cave.

It was obvious that the ticket scalper was a veteran. He skillfully lit the torches he had prepared in advance and led them in.

The group of people was moving forward in a mighty manner, and Chu Yizi, who was walking in the lead just now, was moving slower and slower, and finally fell behind together with Xiao Mulin.

It's really funny that an emperor and a hostage went into a cave with a ticket scalper just to save half of the ticket money.

Before Chu Yizi could laugh, the ticket seller in front shouted, "Everyone, follow closely, there are poisonous snakes in here! Someone I was with was bitten last time!"

After hearing this, Chu Yizi couldn't laugh anymore. Wangcai was unreliable. For some reason, he couldn't call out his name, and he didn't know the people around him.

The only reliable person now is Xiao Mulin next to him.

He unconsciously moved closer to Xiao Mulin, and through the faint light of the fire, he saw the other party's surprised eyes.

Chu Yizi rubbed his nose and said, "Well, Mr. Xiao, let me lean on you. I think the light is stronger here."

It's not that Xiao Mulin doesn't want to rely on him, it's mainly...

He felt like he was going to have a nosebleed again.

The familiar cold fragrance approached him little by little, stronger and more pleasant than yesterday, making him feel dizzy.

This fragrance is more intoxicating than any liquor in the world, and people can't help but immerse themselves in it once they smell it.

Unconsciously, the two of them slowed down and fell far behind the main group.

Xiao Mulin noticed it, but for some reason, he didn't want to catch up. He wanted to enjoy this short and beautiful time.

If he went back, he would have no reason to get close to Chu Nanxing again.

Now is a good time.

The two walked slower and slower until they could no longer see the fire.

Chu Yizi looked at the pitch-dark cave and couldn't help trembling as he spoke, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are we walking a little too slowly..."

Xiao Mulin felt that he was getting closer to him, and Chu Nanxing almost pressed his entire body against him. This feeling was so overwhelming that he couldn't help but sink into it.

If he was closer, Chu Nanxing would have thrown herself into his arms...

The heartbeat is abnormally fast, but not uncomfortable.

He spoke softly, "It's okay, I can catch up--"

"Ah!" Before he could finish his words, Chu Yizi exclaimed!

"Your Majesty, it seems like something has crawled onto my leg!" It was obviously a snake, and Chu Yizi froze up, not daring to move.

Why are there such scary animals as snakes in this world?

He felt like he was going to pass out.

Xiao Mulin comforted him, "It's okay, Prince Yi. As long as you don't move, the snake won't bite you. According to my speculation, snakes in this kind of cave generally don't bite--"

Before he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his arm, and the snake crawled from Chu Yizi's leg to his body!
