The cannon fodder fake prince at the beginning, I won by hugging thighs

After passing the most intense stage, Yan Yuanhao finally calmed down.

Just now, it seemed as if there was a force deep in his heart that tempted him to say those two words.

He was about to nod when he found a small hand covering his lips.

With just a slight movement, you can feel the softness of the little hand.

Tender and without any calluses.

I really don’t know who Lu Jiao learned from to be so powerful.

Seeing that Yan Yuanhao was a little distracted and didn't even let go of the hand that was pinching her face, Lu Jiao couldn't help but frown.

She patted her hands on the side of her face and urged, "Is there anything you don't understand?"

Yan Yuanhao suddenly let go of his hand as if he was burned, and took several steps back, almost retreating out of the study.

Fortunately, there was no one else around at that time, otherwise after seeing what happened just now, they would definitely think of something wrong.

The secret guards around the study: You can pretend we don’t exist.

After a brief moment of embarrassment, Yan Yuanhao sat back at the desk with a stern face.

"If that's the case, don't say it again. I can pretend I didn't hear it, but it may not be the same for others."

"If it were someone else, I wouldn't say such things to him!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Yuanhao's ears turned even redder.

He stammered and even forgot what they were talking about before.

Lu Jiao didn't want to tease him anymore and brought the topic back on track.

"Is it urgent to go to the northwest?"

Yan Yuanhao circulated his internal energy to calm down the hot blood surging in his body.

“There’s no rush.

But starting from October every year, the temperature on the grassland will drop; it will be even colder in the twelfth lunar month.

It is not something that we in the Central Plains can tolerate.”

He looked at Lu Jiao calmly, no longer shy, and said, "Theoretically, we can find it before the beginning of autumn next year.

Just in case, the sooner the better. "

Lu Jiao was a little surprised that the deadline given by Yan Yuanhao was so lenient.

She pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I know. I will set off as soon as I finish the things I am doing.

It shouldn’t take more than half a month.”

"If you need help, just ask."

Having said that, he lowered his head and continued to deal with the news at hand.

Just a promise from him is enough.

Lu Jiao didn't stay any longer and got up and left the study.

She did not go back to her room to sleep, but left the Prince's Mansion, found an empty corner, and headed towards the outer city.

In the study, a secret guard emerged from the shadows.

"Lu Jiao left the house through the back door. Her figure was too strange and I couldn't catch up with her."

The secret guards under Yan Yuanhao were all arranged by his grandfather, General Tong, and they have been guarding him since he was born.

Even when something happened in the northwest, he never left Yan Yuanhao's side.

Loyalty and execution are beyond doubt.

Yan Yuanhao hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it. You don't need to follow her when she leaves the palace in the future. Just find out when she enters and leaves the palace."

However, they didn't know that it was impossible for the secret guards to fulfill such a request.

Whether Lu Jiao’s whereabouts can be discovered depends solely on whether she is willing.

Later, it also stimulated the secret guards to practice martial arts harder, but that’s another story.

Lu Jiao moved quickly above the capital city, and in just a quarter of an hour, he arrived near Dunyifang.

Dunyifang is located between Datongfang and Yonghefang.

As Lu Jiao walked along, other markets were quiet except Dunyi Market, which was bustling with activity.

It is precisely because of the existence of these two markets that the noise in Dunyifang is isolated.

According to Lu Wei's information, Lu Jiao found the group's base in no time.

This is a large house with three entrances and three exits. There is also a moon gate next to the courtyard wall, leading to the garden on the side of the house.

The garden and the house cover about the same area.

The backyard among the three courtyards is also very spacious, almost the same size as the inner courtyard.

In terms of floor area, this house is not much smaller than a courtyard house with five courtyards.

According to the laws of this dynasty, only officials can purchase houses with more than three courtyards.

A five-courtyard house like this one could only be inhabited by kings, princes, generals and ministers. Otherwise, the owner of the house would be held accountable for exceeding the rules.

I just don't know how this group of rabble will take over the house.

Or is it the protection of someone behind the scenes?

Lu Jiao put these questions behind him for the time being, spread out his mental power, and began to search the house.

The back house in the front yard is a large open room, and many people are shouting and yelling inside.

Some people were holding pipes, others were holding wine jugs, and the whole place was filled with smoke.

The Chuihua Gate is guarded by eight burly men, so it may not be easy for guests in the front yard to go to the inner yard.

The inner courtyard was much quieter, with the main house and the east and west wing rooms separated into elegant rooms.

The whole house is like a high-end entertainment venue, but after all, it is in the outer city, so it is not that high-end.

It's incomparable to Qinming Cottage.

She didn't know if it was because of the limited cultural level of this group of people, but she found a lot of booklets with weird drawings and symbols in the backyard room, which was supposed to be the back room.

Lu Jiao guessed that this was an account book, but there was not a single word from the Jiang Kingdom, and it didn't look like the language of another country.

It's more like some kind of codeword that only the owner of the account book can understand.

There's no use taking this kind of thing away.

Lu Jiao threw the account book away and continued to search for other things.

Who would have thought that this servant in the garden could read and write, and secretly record the situation in the house.

It seems that the person behind the scenes doesn't trust these minions that much!

Knowing this, Lu Jiao's hands began to move again.

Although she had millions of taels of silver in her hands, who would complain about having too much money?

She suddenly had an idea and couldn't help but want to try out the properties of the wood-related supernatural power.

Lu Jiao walked to the middle of the garden, and the west wing was just across the wall.

From here you can faintly hear the shouting coming from next door.

Lu Jiao took out the King of Datura Flowers, and it still remained in the same state as when it was just put away.

Greedily digesting the wood-based power that Lu Jiao fed it.

Seeing that the King of Datura Flowers was about to spray pollen again, Lu Jiao hurriedly wrapped it up with his mental power.

He dug out the unused warmth powder from the space and tried to devour it with his wood-based ability.

The process was easier than Lu Jiao had imagined. The wood-based ability mixed with mental power wrapped the medicinal powder inside.

After a while, the powder turned into the same color as flour, with a harmless paleness.

However, that ray of supernatural power was light green with a hint of pink, which looked extremely strange.

Lu Jiao didn't want to try out the effects of this thing himself at all.

She brought the potted plants to the roof of the west wing and said, "Xiao Hei, you have to hold on!"

The King of Datura Flowers had no idea what Lu Jiao wanted it to hold on to. It stretched out its branches and leaves in pursuit of the moonlight, and looked to be growing well.

Lu Jiao guided that strand of mental power and sank into the body of the Mandragora Flower King.

There was no reaction at first, but after a few breaths, the branches and leaves curled up and then spread out as if they were electrocuted.

Many side branches also grew on the flower stem, and after three flowers bloomed in one go, the growth gradually slowed down.
