Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

In fact, whenever they passed by a city, no matter how big or small, Qu Xiaoxiao would take Situ Zhige into the city for a tour.

On the one hand, it is a reasonable excuse to purchase supplies for the carriage, and on the other hand, it is not very comfortable to sleep in the carriage all the time, right?

Of course, when she really felt unwell, Qu Xiaoxiao would light a special incense stick to make Situ Zhige sleep more soundly. She herself would enter the space and usually go to the training room to practice for a while.

Qu Xiaoxiao's cultivation had already reached the early stages of the Golden Core stage—and this was despite her intermittent practice. After her training, she would soak in the Immortal Pond, devour a delicious meal, and finally have a good night's sleep.

Sometimes when she woke up and saw it was still early, she would just play with Maotuanzi, Xiaoli, and Guoguo in the space. Anyway, the time difference between the space and the outside world was six times, so Qu Xiaoxiao didn't worry about the time when she was catching fish.

Moreover, the speed of a horse-drawn carriage cannot be compared with that of human legs.

Therefore, their trip was just roughly aligned with the fleeing group, and the specific departure and departure time was completely at their will, without worrying about being left behind.

However, Qu Xiaoxiao and Situ Zhige took a carriage and successfully entered Lailin County before the city gate closed.

They first bought a few changes of clothes each at a clothing store. Then they went to a restaurant and enjoyed a delicious local meal. Finally, they strolled along the moat at night, taking in the lights and digesting their food.

Only then did he settle down in the largest inn in the city, "Banfangju".

In the middle of the night, Husky Wolf quietly told Qu Xiaoxiao: "Master Sun San and Sun Qingqing are here."

Qu Xiaoxiao's powerful spiritual sense had actually sensed it a long time ago.

These uncle and nephew were quite clever. They had somehow managed to sneak into the city, yet they even knew to wait for their prey at the largest inn.

And the uncle and nephew really waited for it.

[Master host, Master host, I know how they got in.]

The Husky Wolf boasted arrogantly.

"Oh? Tell me."

Qu Xiaoxiao was really curious.

"Pfft~"

When the Husky Wolf thought about the scene he had noticed, he couldn't help but laugh.

Qu Xiaoxiao: “…”

What I hate most is people who laugh first when telling a joke.

"That's right, host. You don't know that Master Sun and Sun Qingqing disguised themselves as beggars to get into the city. To gain entry, Sun Qingqing even sang a little song for the gatekeeper."

It's true, this educated lady from a wealthy family does have some talent, and she sings the ditty quite well. Third Master Sun also helped out, and the two of them stood at the city gate and sang for a full half hour before the gatekeepers finally let them in!

"Pfft~"

Sure enough, when Qu Xiaoxiao heard the description of the Husky Wolf, she also had that scene in her mind, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing. Think about Sun Qingqing, a little girl, she used to be quite arrogant.

As for Mr. Sun San, he was once a legitimate descendant of a noble family. Now he is willing to swallow his pride and perform in public something that the ancients considered low-brow. It can be seen that he is really risking his life.

[Host, please stop laughing! They've blown drugs into the prince's room.]

Husky Wolf said anxiously.

"What's the rush?" Qu Xiaoxiao said slowly.

"That little bit of medicine can't possibly have any effect..." Now it depends on whether Situ Zhige is willing to take the bait.

Although Situ Zhige looked calm and even strong, with plenty of energy every day, Qu Xiaoxiao was actually very careful and limited in her ability to regulate his body.

At the very least, Qu Xiaoxiao did not completely remove the poison from Situ Zhige's body, but only suppressed it temporarily.

Wasn’t the original owner’s mission to marry Situ Zhige and make him happy for the rest of his life?

Qu Xiaoxiao didn't know who Situ Zhige was before, so everything remained to be seen. So Qu Xiaoxiao needed some time to see. If Situ Zhige was a good person, she would naturally be able to completely remove his poison sooner or later, allowing him to live a long and carefree life.

On the other hand, if Situ Zhige wasn't worth it, then she had to complete the mission. At worst, she could just shorten his "life." After all, if the poison he was originally infected with continued to work, it wouldn't be her fault.

The original owner couldn't be blamed on her.

Because of this, Qu Xiaoxiao was very confident that the little bit of drugs that the uncle and nephew of the Sun family got would have no effect on Situ Zhige, who was already full of poison.

Are you kidding? Do you really think any drug can compare to her special incense?

Situ Zhige was still reading by lamplight when he heard a faint sound outside the window. He looked closely and saw a thin bamboo tube poking through the window paper.

At the same time, there seemed to be a low human voice outside the window, and then some white powder was blown in through the bamboo tube, and suddenly scattered in the air.

If Situ Zhige was a normal person, he would have collapsed in a daze by now.

The problem is that his body is not normal.

So Situ Zhige opened his eyes wide in surprise, stood up and walked to the window, took out the bamboo tube casually, and looked at it carefully in his hand.

After looking at it for a few seconds and not understanding it, he inserted the tube back into the window.

Mr. Sun was standing outside the window, blowing the drug in with all his might, when suddenly the bamboo tube disappeared from his mouth. He was startled and glanced at Sun Qingqing, who was standing outside the guest room door, ready to push it open at any moment.

I gritted my teeth and was about to push open the window when I suddenly found that the bamboo tube was back.

For a moment, Mr. Sun thought he was dazzled.

He put his face close to the bamboo tube and prepared to blow it again, but suddenly he felt the drug in the bamboo tube being blown back with a "puff". Uncle Sun cried out inwardly, but it was too late to cover his mouth and nose.

His body swayed and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Situ Zhige heard the noise outside the window and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief in satisfaction. He was about to sit back at the table to continue reading when he heard a sound from the door.

He hurried around the screen to check.

Tonight, Sihu, Wuhu, and the others were supposed to guard the carriage, but they weren't with him. Qu Xiaoxiao had said that Husky Wolf would be enough to guard the gate tonight. But no one knew where the dog had gone.

Sun Qingqing, however, had been waiting outside the door, becoming increasingly impatient. Just now, in order to see her beloved, she had even slipped into the kitchen, filled her stomach, and washed her hands and face.

I heard a noise coming from the house just now, and thought that Situ Zhige had been tricked, so I couldn't wait to pry the door open and break in.

It was also her fault that she didn't even look at Mr. Sun Sanye, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a big mistake.

When she thought that she was about to become Situ Zhige's concubine and would be by his side every day from then on, she was so excited that her whole body was shaking.

As a result, when he pushed the door open, he didn't pay attention to his feet for a moment and was instantly tripped by the high threshold. With a "thump", he flew inside and fell flat on his face, more than a meter away from Situ Zhige's feet.

Situ Zhige: “…”
