Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Inside the carriage, Qin Bingrui looked at Mr. Zhu's sullen face and consoled him: "It's okay, you don't need to worry about me!"

"Why do you have to be like this, young lady?" Prince Ning held his forehead with his hand.

"To prevent you from losing too much. Give me the silver you cut off later. If we have the chance to meet again in the future, I will definitely repay you."

"How do I repay you?"

It was just a casual remark, but he took it seriously. Qin Bingrui sighed and said, "If there's really nowhere else to go, I'll take my sister to you. You can take me as a concubine. A maid isn't very suitable. I'm not good at serving people. As a concubine, as long as I don't have sex, I can take you to experience all kinds of pleasures and even make all kinds of high-end weapons for you. Haha, I just don't know if your future princess will faint from anger."

"..."

The corners of Master Zhu's mouth twitched. He had never seen such an unruly woman. Perhaps it was because the women in brothels did not care about etiquette and rules. He saw it with his own eyes and gained some experience.

"As long as Miss Ling Hong is happy, I will be returning to Jiangzhou in a few days. If you really have nowhere else to go, just bring your sister to me."

"You don't really want to take me as your concubine, do you?" He just made a joke and hoped that the prince would not take it seriously.

"will not."

"..."

The next day, Qin Bingrui hired a coachman and took two carriages out of the city. Master Zhu gave her a token so that she could enter and exit the city gates of various prefectures and counties at will. Qin Bingrui was afraid that the local authorities would not recognize her, so she insisted that Master Zhu write a written statement and stamp it before she was satisfied to take her household registration and pass out of the city gate!

The secret guards sent by Master Zhu immediately followed suit.

After leaving the city, Qin Bingrui found that Zhu Jinyou was actually standing on the city wall watching her leave.

"See you later, pork neck!"

Mr. Zhu frowned. She actually knew his name and deliberately called it wrong?

Qin Bingrui is dressed as an ancient man at the moment. The cross-shaped scar on his right cheek has only been coated with external wound medicine. The blood mark is extremely obvious, which makes him look very cool!

She casually put on the veil (for men only). Even with two more scars, her face was still too beautiful and too eye-catching.

He exchanged all the nine thousand taels of gold for silver notes, but he didn't expect that it was actually worth ninety thousand taels of silver. Together with the silver notes he had saved before, his net worth is now more than one hundred thousand taels of silver. Carrying this with him might be a safety hazard. He had to find Sister Luo Yu as soon as possible. After all, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang!

He had modified the carriage. If you touched the solid wooden box inside the carriage, the carriage would be filled with poisonous needles, and if you didn't die, you would at least lose several layers of skin.

The other carriage was filled with meat and various foods that could be stored for a period of time, several barrels of rice and flour, as well as various spare clothes and daily necessities.

This carriage has been specially modified and built with two layers of wood. One layer is a fence, and the other layer is a door made of solid wood that can be opened to both sides. All three sides are covered with thick linen curtains, and only the front is covered with satin curtains. The top is also openable, so that Baihu can have open air inside.

Each carriage is pulled by two large brown horses, and there are four wheels under the carriage to ensure that the horses are energetic throughout the journey.

Qin Bingrui drove the carriage farther and farther away. Zhu Jinyou smiled and waved his hand to lead his subordinate Song Si away.

"Prince Ning, did Miss Ling Hong really leave the capital alone?"

Zhu Jinyou sneered: "I never thought a woman like her could have such courage. She can't even imagine how dangerous the world is."

"Then why did the prince let her go?" Song Si always believed that Prince Ning had special feelings for Miss Ling Hong. Even if she could not become a princess, it should not be a problem to take her into the palace as a concubine.

“Only by releasing the tiger back into the mountains can we create a new wave.”

Zhu Jinyou was unwilling to admit that there was a woman in the world who was not moved by him, even though he had done so much for her.

"..."

Song Si still thought that Prince Ning might not like women.

Qin Bingrui drove the carriage, swaying along the way.

The corners of his mouth curled up. Freedom and money were both what he longed for. However, Prince Zhu had sent several secret guards to follow him. How could he get rid of them?

Luo Yu got some food in the village and continued on his way. It took him five days to reach the next city, Muzhou.

Fortunately, Muzhou is a big city, and the area outside the city is also very lively. People from the surrounding villages like to bring fresh fruits and vegetables to the city gate to sell. As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, the weather gradually becomes hotter, and peaches, plums, etc. are gradually put on the market.

Luo Yu bought some fruits. She ate and slept in the wild mountains along the way and had never had a proper meal. Now she couldn't enter the city, let alone stay in a comfortable inn.

According to Xia Liang, it would take Qin Bingrui about three days to catch up with them, so they had to wait for him in this city.

It is impossible to get into the city. Even if Luo Yu gets in, he can't let Xia Liang outside the city go hungry. He has to find a family to stay with for a few days.

Luo Yu saw a tea stall outside the city gate, so she went over and ordered a pot of tea and sat down. While eating a peach, she observed the people setting up stalls outside the city. She was now dressed like an ordinary man, with a backpack on her chest, a shoulder bag on her right side, and a long sword in her hand. Her appearance was strange, and people passing by couldn't help but look at her twice.

After she finished eating two peaches, she noticed a young woman carrying a load on her shoulders, followed by a child about five years old. Judging from the woman's headdress, she must be a woman.

She was carrying two baskets of fresh vegetables. It was almost noon, so it was a little late to set up the morning market. Although there were many places outside the city, there was no vacant space for this woman.

The woman looked around before moving the load to the corner west of the city gate. There were not many people setting up stalls there, but there were quite a few people coming and going.

Luo Yu was bored, mainly because she saw the little guy following the woman always helping his mother. She herself was still a little kid, but she would try her best to help her mother block the crowd from other people, so she paid more attention to the mother and son.

After a while, several fierce-looking men came and pointed at the place and shouted at the woman: "Be careful, this place belongs to our Xiejia Village. Don't you have eyes? How dare you take someone else's place?"

"Yeah, sorry, I thought there was no one there."

The woman didn't resist at all and was about to leave with her burden, but a sturdy woman came out from behind the group of men, pushed her hard, and said viciously: "I think you did it on purpose. If I don't teach you a lesson, you will take up other people's space again next time."

The woman was pushed hard and staggered, almost falling to the ground. The load she was carrying fell directly from her shoulders, and the fresh vegetables rolled out of the basket, half of them spilling onto the ground.

The woman did not dare to resist, so she had to squat down and take her five-year-old child to pick up the vegetables that had fallen on the ground.

"How dare you pick it up so slowly? Are you planning to occupy this space and not leave?"

"No, no, I just came here because I saw that there was no one here. You could have just told me. Why are you bullying me?"

"Bully you? What's wrong with me bullying you? This piece of land is mine, why are you pretending to be pitiful?" The sturdy woman stepped on the fresh vegetables and turned them with force.

Luo Yu was so angry that he was fuming. How could he see such an infuriating scene in such a hot day? It was bad enough that they were bullying the weak, but they actually dared to waste resources. It was outrageous!

She slammed the table and stood up. The old man at the tea stall immediately went over to hold Luo Yu and kindly reminded him, "Young man, don't get angry. The people from Xiejia Village are very arrogant and domineering in this area because they know the captain guarding the city gate. Don't provoke them when you are alone."

"Thank you for your kind reminder, sir." Luo Yu paid three cents to the old man. She had to take care of this trivial matter. She hated people who wasted the fruits of other people's labor. It was as hateful as killing and setting fire for no reason.

More and more people came to watch the fun, but no one dared to speak up. Everyone was afraid of the people from Xiejia Village. They heard that the gatekeeper was from Xiejia Village and his name was Xie Shan. Everyone hoped to stay here for a long time and did not dare to offend this old man easily.

Luo Yu straightened her body and squeezed into the crowd. The scene in front of her made her brows furrowed and she was furious. Two baskets of fresh vegetables were trampled to pieces. The woman squatted and sobbed silently, but still picked up the crushed leaves bit by bit. The baby next to her was sensible enough to accompany his mother to pick up the leaves. It was heartbreaking to watch.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to leave quickly? If you affect our business, you will have to pay compensation."

The sturdy woman was yelling, but she didn't expect a loud slap on her left cheek.

Luo Yu didn't want to cause trouble and attract attention, but the situation was unbearable now, so the slap flew out by itself.
