Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

The postmaster looked at Gou Zi and then at her, not knowing whether to ask her first or Gou Zi first.

"Brother Xiaoli, I picked up this dog on the road. I thought it was pitiful and obedient, so I thought keeping it with me might help protect it."

The postmaster thought it made sense and nodded, saying, "That's right."

"I wonder if there's any leftover food? My dog isn't picky about food, so we can just add the money to our food and lodging."

"Yes, the kitchen should have it. I'll go ask."

The dog was washed clean by Luo Yu. It was tall and strong with shiny fur. It originally looked fierce, but it was like a spoiled child and kept rubbing against Luo Yu's legs.

Luo Yu patted its head to quiet it down.

It liked Luo Ke more and more, and found that Lord Baihu actually listened to Luo Ke. It had learned to act according to Luo Ke's instructions.

Lord Ma tutted his tongue twice and whispered, "This big wolfhound is obedient and it's really safe to take it along on the journey."

Feiying snorted secretly. These two women also had a white tiger with them, which made them safer.

The moment Luo Yu turned his head, Lord Li took a closer look. Although the woman looked weak and delicate, her eyes were extremely sharp, which was inconsistent with her pretty appearance.

After a while, the woman's eyes curved into crescents, and she looked as gentle as water. It turned out that Gou Zi was drooling at the plates of meat on Lord Li's table.

Luo Yu walked over and patted Gouzi's head, then bowed to Lord Li at the same table to apologize.

Lord Li almost thought he was seeing things. The woman's eyes were so pure and transparent, without any impurities.

Seeing the dog lower its head obediently, Master Ma smiled broadly: "No problem, no problem. We just happened to have some left over. Instead of wasting it, why not give it to your beloved dog?"

His words "I love my dog" made Luo Yu burst into laughter.

"You are joking, my lord. This dog is not my pet, but my friend."

"Friend?" Lord Li, Lord Ma, and Lord Lu all looked at Gou Zi.

The only person in the world who treats a dog as a friend is probably a three-year-old child, right?

As Luo Yu spoke, he went to the carriage to find the dog's bowl, then poured the leftover food into the bowl. He then pulled the dog to an empty space on the side and squatted on the ground to watch it eat.

She hoped Feiying could understand that Baihu and Gouzi were already regarded as friends by her and Qin Bingrui, and hoped that they would not spread Baihu's whereabouts recklessly.

Feiying sighed, then he remembered what King Ning said, that Miss Linghong's sister was a strange person who could even speak animal language.

He had to believe it now.

After finishing their meal, Lord Li and his group rested for half an hour and prepared to leave.

As Lord Ma boarded the carriage, he couldn't help but grumble, "Those two guys didn't look like officials. Could they be working for some lord?"

Lord Lu nodded repeatedly. "That girl doesn't look like a daughter of an official family. She's dressed simply, using ordinary fine cotton fabrics. Yet, the carriage she drives is of royal quality. This is quite unusual."

Lord Li knew that this was his intuition as an official.

He didn't say much. Although he couldn't figure it out, he knew that it was not easy for a woman to go out. It was understandable for her to keep a dog, but the carriage was so luxurious. Wasn't she afraid of encountering criminals who were after money and life on the road?

Well, well, he is now on standby to take up the post of magistrate of Wangzhou. He has been demoted and has no mood to meddle in other people's affairs.

Luo Yu walked into the guest room and found Qin Bingrui sitting in her room drinking tea.

"Bingrui, why don't you go and rest?"

"Sister, I miss you. We haven't talked for a long time. Look, you only care about Xia Liang and ignore me."

"If you want to turn into a beast, I will treat you well."

Qin Bingrui chuckled and rubbed his head against Luo Yu's. Luo Yu pushed him away.

"Sister, I am a girl now, I can hug you."

With a gentle hug, he almost lifted the person up.

"Sister, why are you so light? You are just a skeleton. You have suffered a lot during this period. Woo woo."

Qin Bingrui was crying and snotting, and he wiped his tears all over Luo Yu.

Luo Yu wanted to say something, but Qin Bingrui raised his head again: "Sister, you escaped like this without any movement from the Queen?"

Luo Yu frowned. It was not that she had not thought about this before. If Xiaomei was discovered, she should be able to escape by using the trick she had taught her before.

If the queen really executed her, it can only be said that the queen has a vicious mind and is probably not that easy to deal with. It will indeed be a trouble in the future.

Even if Xiaomei was spared, the Queen would definitely find ways to find out the whereabouts of Concubine Ying.

Perhaps, she has already sent people to chase Baihu.

The only possibility for Concubine Ying to escape from the capital was the dead man who was carried away by the white tiger.

"Perhaps the Queen's men will come after us soon. She will definitely want to see the body or the body."

Qin Bingrui shuddered and muttered to himself, "If they really caught up with him, why would a queen of the current dynasty care so much about the life and death of a little noble?"

He looked up and saw Luo Yu staring at him, and immediately played dumb, "I'm not talking about you. Sister Luo Yu is no match for a little queen."

"She cares about Lady Ying's life and death, which is related to Lady Ying's child."

"Ah?" Qin Bingrui was so excited that his tongue began to get tied. "Sister, you, you mean, your son is not dead?"

"So, I have a nephew now! I'm so happy that my nephew is actually a little prince."

But he changed his mind and looked at Luo Yu's small figure again and again.

Unable to resist a wave of sadness, she said, "Sister, you look only sixteen or seventeen. That old emperor is truly a piece of shit. If one day we can see the little prince, I will definitely take my nephew away."

Yes, if it wasn’t a boy, how could the queen have asked someone to take the baby away and even spread the word that the child was not safe.

Perhaps from the very beginning, she had used Concubine Ying as a reproductive tool.

Even after Concubine Ying's body was completely exhausted and she managed to survive, no imperial physician came to see her for a follow-up examination. No one cared about Concubine Ying's life or death. The Queen only wanted Concubine Ying to die in the abandoned palace.

Luo Yu sympathized deeply with Lady Ying's life experience, but she would not hold a grudge against anyone out of hatred now. Here, she was just a passerby.

She will treat the life and death of ordinary people or the powerful with indifference.

"Bingrui, let's try to take smaller roads. If the Queen's men catch up, they'll probably check our household registration and travel permits."

"No problem, it looks like this trip is going to be very busy."

Prince Ning's Mansion.

When Prince Ning received the tracking information reported by Feidao, he was playing Go with Mr. Lin in the main hall.

This information shocked Mr. Lin so much that the white chess piece in his hand accidentally fell onto the chessboard, disrupting a good game.

"Mr. Lin shook it off on purpose, right? You're going to lose this game."

"Okay, okay, whatever my nephew says is what I will do!"

Prince Ning waved his hand, letting the flying knife go, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong and called it back: "Next time, you can just send the letter directly to the post station, you don't have to come back in person."

"As ordered."

After the flying knife left the scene, it disappeared with two whooshes.

Old Master Lin chuckled twice: "Prince Ning's secret guards are quite skilled. I wonder how Miss Ling Hong will deal with them?

However, if Miss Ling Hong's sister really could speak animal language, she would have already met the white tiger in the capital."

King Ning had to admire his cousin. He could always point out the things that Feiying couldn't understand.

"Then Mr. Lin, can you analyze this further? Why did they meet in the capital, but had to leave Muzhou City to recognize each other?"

"It seems that Miss Ling Hong's sister's background is not simple. Why not wait a little longer?"

It was totally wrong. It was Qin Bingrui's fault for revealing the secret that he could speak animal language. It was originally nonsense, but it was analyzed correctly by this group of smart ancients.

King Ning couldn't help but nodded. He really wanted to meet the extraordinary woman that Miss Ling Hong mentioned. How could anyone really convince Baihu to go with him?

Could it be that this white tiger really understands human nature?

If this were true, his brother, the emperor, would have pursued the white tiger relentlessly.

Prince Ning was eager to leave the capital, but the Queen Mother's birthday was still a few days away. In order to see her youngest son, the Queen Mother asked Prince Ning to come to the capital to celebrate her birthday more than two months in advance.

Mr. Lin chuckled twice: "Why, His Royal Highness Prince Ning is more interested in Miss Ling Hong's sister?"

King Ning glared at the old man. He didn't know what was wrong with this old man who had been obsessed with cold weapons recently. He was thinking about his son finding a wife who knew how to make weapons every day. He must be sick.

"Nephew of Prince Ning, uncle has something to tell you." The old man looked mysterious.

"As long as you don't mention my marriage to the Queen Mother, you can tell me the rest."

"When you leave the capital, take me with you."

"..."

"It just so happens that I'm old and tired of staying in the capital. You know I don't like the affairs of the court. Every day a bunch of old men surround the emperor and quarrel with each other. How boring."

To explain is to cover up.

"No problem, you just need to convince the Queen Mother to let me not marry General Pang's daughter."

"I heard that General Pang's legitimate daughter is extremely beautiful, and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She is the perfect candidate to be the princess."

"Let your son work hard. We are all in the same group anyway."

"..."

Before the hour of Mao the next day, Qin Bingrui knocked on Luo Yu's door and prepared to leave.

Take the official road first, and after passing Tianbao County, if the inspection is not too strict, continue on the official road. If you are caught up by the Queen's men, you can only take the small road and kill them if you can.

It is said that people from the Imperial City Bureau rushed to Muzhou City.

After hearing the legend about the beast, Yan Xuan's brows twisted into a knot and he was shaking with anger.

This white tiger has really become a spirit, and it actually hides in places where there are the most people.

There was no other way, so he asked a guard to go back and report the news, while he led ten people to continue hunting down the white tiger.

Considering the lifelong reputation of General Yan, how could he be teased by a mere white tiger?
