The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 218: Quick Journey
Chu Yunxi suddenly opened her eyes and saw that she was still in the carriage. There was an oil lamp lit on the corner of the carriage. Because the oil lamp was fixed on the corner, it would not fall off even though the carriage was still speeding.
"Your Highness, is it getting dark?" Chu Yunxi sat up and rubbed her forehead, feeling a little headache.
Xiao Mubei nodded, "You've been sleeping for five hours and I can't wake you up. Did you have a nightmare?"
Chu Yunxi couldn't tell him that what she had experienced didn't seem to be a dream, and she couldn't say that it was the original owner of her body who came to find her, so she could only shake her head and said, "It's okay, maybe it's a nightmare, it will be fine when you wake up."
Seeing that she really didn't look like anything was wrong, Xiao Mubei felt relieved and said, "Just now you were yelling, 'Don't leave.' Who were you telling me not to leave?"
Chu Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "Tell the prince not to leave. I dreamed that the prince left me and went away. I am in a place where I am unfamiliar with. There is really no one to cry out for help. The prince must not treat me like this again in the future."
Xiao Mubei cried out, "What do you mean by do this to you again? When have I ever done this to you?"
Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "I'm just kidding you. By the way, what time is it now? Why are you still on the road so late?"
Xiao Mubei tapped her nose and said, "You naughty girl, it's already 15:30. We left too late and haven't reached the next post station yet."
"Okay." Chu Yunxi adjusted her posture and thought of what the Chu Yunxi in the dream had just said, so she quickly took her own pulse. Fortunately, she was just too tired, probably caused by mental and physical exhaustion.
"My Lord, how are you? Did you get some rest? How about the others?"
When Xiao Mubei heard that Chu Yunxi was concerned about him after waking up, he felt a warm current in his heart, and his voice became gentler, "I just slept for a while, and they all took turns to sleep. They are still energetic now. Except for Hongyu and Qingmei, the others are all martial artists. What's the point of this little fatigue from the journey?"
Chu Yunxi thought about it and it made sense. She never thought that a dignified agent like Chu Yunxi would now become the object of everyone's protection and the person who holds them back. If she were herself in her previous life, she would definitely despise herself.
"Then I'll just take care of myself. After all, there's someone better than me now."
Chu Yunxi sighed, "Bai Yu said he would teach me martial arts every day, but after just a few days, he disappeared every day. When I return to the capital, I will punish him."
Bai Yu was following outside the carriage and heard these words clearly. He couldn't help but feel wronged, as he was clearly doing things according to the prince's instructions every day.
This time we didn't stay until the second night. After a brief rest, we continued on our journey. Ten days had passed before we knew it.
Riding on horseback every day was a bit too much for even a martial arts master like Wen Rulan. He kept asking every day how far away from Southern Xinjiang the city was. After all, he came from the modern era and didn't know much about this ancient city.
Seeing that they were only three days away from southern Xinjiang, everyone gradually relaxed their efforts and rested for a longer time.
At the moment, they are all resting by a river. Baiyu Heimu rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs and went into the river to catch fish. Recently, the temperature has been rising as they travel further south in Xinjiang. At this temperature, they won't feel cold even if they wear a gauze dress.
Baiyu Heimu's fishing skills are quite good, and he caught several big, fat fish in a short while. Chu Yunxi and Wen Rulan were in charge of making a fire and grilling the fish, Xiao Mubei and Chu Zhongxi chatted on the side, and Zi Han and the Purple Guards were sent out to explore the way and go to the market in front to buy local clothes for everyone.
Because of the years of war in Southern Xinjiang, the people here are relatively hostile to outsiders. Xiao Mubei and Chu Zhongxi have both lived here for many years and are very aware of this, so they began to prepare Southern Xinjiang costumes in advance, ready to change their appearance before entering Southern Xinjiang.
Chu Yunxi grilled a fish and sprinkled it with the cumin and chili peppers she brought with her. The aroma was so fragrant that it made people salivate. She handed it to Xiao Mubei like offering a treasure, "Your Majesty, try it."
Chu Zhongxi said sourly, "Girls are really outgoing. They didn't give it to their brother first, but to their husband first. What should I do?"
Xiao Mubei laughed loudly, and Chu Yunxi stamped her feet, "Second brother, if you tease me again, I will ignore you. Yours is roasting over there, and I wanted to make it more charred for you, so I roasted it for a little longer."
"Okay, okay, you're on the side of second brother, okay?" Chu Zhongxi didn't dare to really annoy this younger sister. She was the treasure of the family. Now that her parents and elder brother were gone, he was the only one who doted on her.
Xiao Mubei took a bite and found it delicious. The fish meat was tender and melted in the mouth. With the addition of seasonings, the salty taste made his mouth fragrant and he could not stop eating it.
Soon, he had eaten most of the fish. Chu Zhongxi's fish was also grilled at this time. Chu Yunxi took it and was about to hand it to Chu Zhongxi when she saw a pair of grandparents and grandchildren from southern Xinjiang walking towards them in the distance. The grandmother was about eighty years old and was leaning on a cane. Her steps were unsteady and she looked like she was about to fall at any time, while the granddaughter was only sixteen or seventeen years old and thin. She supported the old lady and slowly walked towards this direction step by step.
"Grandma, it smells so good." The granddaughter stared at the grilled fish in Chu Yunxi's hand with envy and swallowed her saliva.
"Xiao Wei, don't cause trouble for the officials." Grandma scolded her granddaughter, and then apologized: "I'm sorry, everyone. My granddaughter is ignorant. I will take her away immediately."
"Mother-in-law, it's okay. Give this fish to this girl. We have more and we can just grill it." Chu Yunxi handed over the grilled fish in her hand.
Chu Zhongxi was originally planning to take it, but the grilled fish flew away, so he looked at Chu Yunxi depressedly.
Chu Yunxi chuckled, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Second brother, look how hungry they are. If they don't have anything to eat, their lives will be in danger. How can I just stand by and watch them die?"
Chu Zhongxi said: "Yes, yes, you are right. Grill me another fish quickly. I am also very hungry."
Chu Yunxi smiled, and grilled another fish, seeing that the grandfather and grandson were still eating the fish.
"Grandma, please eat a few bites. I'm not hungry. Please eat quickly." The granddaughter Xiaowei tried her best to push the grilled fish towards her grandmother's mouth, but her grandmother dodged it every time, making Xiaowei so angry that she jumped to her feet.
Chu Yunxi looked at Wen Rulan. The fish in his hand was almost done. Wen Rulan naturally understood what Chu Yunxi meant, so she said, "Xiao Wei, you eat that fish. Let grandma eat the one in your brother's hand."
Xiao Wei's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"This is real. Take it." Wen Rulan handed the grilled fish forward, and Xiao Wei immediately took it happily, saying crisply, "Thank you, brother."
