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

With a pull of the reins, the horse turned its head and trotted out of the yard.

Lu Jiao's mental power remained in the courtyard.

The carriage was not taken back until it had gone out of the city and beyond a radius of thirty miles and could no longer be seen.

"I said you don't need to send me off. It's not like I won't be coming back."

Even though he muttered this, he still felt reluctant to part with that little guy Lu Ze.

The carriage drove onto the official road and slowly distanced itself from other pedestrians. Lu Jiao simply walked out of the carriage and turned over to lie on the roof of the carriage.

"Call me when it's time for dinner!"

Eat, eat, eat. All that stuff is eating and sleeping, like a pig!

Kuilang complained wildly in his heart, but because of Lu Jiao's fist, he didn't dare to say it out loud.

The journey to the northwest took more than half a month, even though the two of them took shifts day and night.

It can't be compared with the 800-mile express, but it is still much faster than the speed of most businesses.

The closer you get to Liangzhou Prefecture, the sparser the vegetation becomes.

The temperature difference between morning and evening is getting bigger and bigger.

Sometimes at night Kuilang would even cover himself with a blanket when he slept in the carriage.

Fortunately, we passed through many counties and state capitals along the way, so there was no shortage of supplies.

Lu Jiao was also a generous person. In addition to filling the space inventory, he also did not forget to buy some more for Kuilang to eat.

However, she didn't dare take out the things she brought from the capital, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

But even so, Kuilang still smelled it.

"Lu Jiao, did you just eat behind my back?

Why do I smell the roast duck you brought from the south of the city? "

Lu Jiao wiped the corner of his mouth in an attempt to hide his true intentions: "What nonsense are you talking about! I think you want to go back to the capital!"

Kuilang looked up at the stars under the night sky, then shrank back behind the car curtain.

"I don't know how long this will last. I stink..."

Traveling this way is indeed faster, but it also has a disadvantage - every time you arrive at a county or state capital for supplies, you will stay in an inn for a night to wash up, and you will inevitably be looked down upon.

Lu Jiao didn't care. Being scolded by others wouldn't hurt her.

If he messes with her, he will take all the blame.

Along the way, Lu Jiao met two such fools.

Except for the house deeds and land deeds that could not be converted into cash, everything else, even the dry firewood in the kitchen for kindling, was taken away.

The whole family was left with only pillars and beams that could not be removed.

Of course, Lu Jiao also collected the evidence of the collusion between these two families and local officials into the space.

She had no intention of going through it straight away, but was prepared to hand it over to Yan Yuanhao after returning to Beijing.

She didn't have much time to perform along the way, and it would be bad if that old fox Yan Yuanhao associated her with something he shouldn't have associated with her.

On this day, the two had just arrived at a county town near Pingliang Prefecture.

After a short rest, we went to a famous local restaurant for dinner.

Before the food was served, the noise downstairs started.

"It was you who hit me with this broken bottle! And you still want me to pay you money? Is there any law?"

"The law? In Zhenyuan County, I, Sun Yuan, am the law!

My father is a popular figure around General Guo! I said you broke it, and everyone saw it!"

As soon as the words fell, sparse voices of agreement were heard all around.

As soon as Kuilang moved the stool, Lu Jiao slapped him on the shoulder, making him grimace.

He lowered his voice and gritted his teeth: "Lu Jiao, you are crazy!"

Lu Jiao had a fake smile on his face: "Don't forget the purpose of our coming out.

Now we are in the vicinity of Pingliang Prefecture, and there are Guo family spies everywhere. Don't ruin your family's son's business!"

Kuilang's teeth were chattering, but he finally gave up.

He was taking out his anger on the braised fish that had just been served on the table.

The fish was a little fishy, so Lu Jiao didn't want to eat it, so she went with the flow and said, "You've poked this fish into this mess, you have to eat it all, don't waste it, or you'll have to pay for this meal!"

Kuilang thought about his monthly salary of only five taels, and resigned himself to his fate by moving the plate in front of him.

He had a ferocious look on his face even when eating fish. Lu Jiao reasonably suspected that Kuilang didn't say anything good about her.

She moved her fingers slightly, setting up a soundproof shield around the two of them.

"You've seen a lot along the way. Do you know why I don't let you interfere?"

Kuilang glanced at Lu Jiao and repeated her previous words in a stiff tone: "We came out to find the prince's uncle, not to understand the people's sentiments."

"That's one of them.

Second, the prince has already sent quite a few people here. They have more people than you and they came earlier.

What can you see that they don't know?

Do you need to go to such lengths to get involved?"

"Okay, okay, I get it! I won't act impulsively again!"

Kuilang picked up the fish piece from the plate and put it into his mouth.

The way he ate, Lu Jiao was afraid that he would get a fishbone stuck in his throat.

After a while, the noise downstairs gradually died down.

Lu Jiao calmly withdrew his mental power. At this time, the waiter brought all the dishes they ordered, along with a large bucket of rice.

Kuilang skillfully served himself a bowl of rice and pushed the remaining half bucket in front of Lu Jiao.

The two did not say anything else, but the person who was eavesdropping in the secret compartment became impatient and made some noise.

Lu Jiao curled his lips and shouted down: "Waiter! Come up here!"

"Come on! What do you want, sir?"

Kuilang pointed to the corner where the noise had just been made and said, "Your restaurant is not clean, there are rats!"

The waiter subconsciously denied it three times: "This is impossible! There is absolutely no way there are rats in our restaurant! Sir, please don't talk nonsense!"

Lu Jiao stood up slowly, paid attention to the waiter's expression, and slowly walked over there.

"If it's not a mouse, could it be a person?"

The waiter couldn't hold back his professional smile: "Young Master, you really love to joke!"

"I never joke with strangers." She pointed to the secret compartment where the man was hiding, "I'm going to step in now!"

"No, no, no, please don't embarrass a clerk like me! I'll help you find the shopkeeper!"

After saying that, the guy ran out immediately, fearing that he would be too late and Lu Jiao would start to take action.

Soon, the shopkeeper came in and looked at Lu Jiao and Kui Lang's faces for a long time.

A smile instantly appeared on his face: “I guess the two guests are not native to our Zhenyuan County.

I didn't know we have this little creature here that likes to run around on the roof.

We locals are not surprised.

In this way, the meal expenses for the two guests today will be charged to our host. Do you think this is a good idea?"

Lu Jiao chuckled: "We are the ones making a fuss out of nothing."

The shopkeeper was much more experienced than the waiter, and he did not change his expression when he heard Lu Jiao's sarcasm.

He bowed slightly and said, "Enjoy your meal, my dear guests."

Kuilang looked at him inquiringly: Are we just going to let this go?

Lu Jiao rolled her eyes: "Eat quickly, then go back and rest. We have to get up early tomorrow to travel!"

The two sat back down again.

Lu Jiao caught a glimpse of a corner of the private room and saw a black shadow about an inch wide slowly moving away with a hint of sneer on the corner of its mouth.
