The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination
Chapter 27: Good Intentions Don’t Get Good Rewards
Mu Qingcheng quickly put away the flashlight, took note of Yunqing's mention of Yunzhou, and then asked awkwardly, "Yunqing, what is the name of our country now? Who is the emperor?"
Yun Qing sighed. This girl was really careless. She only just remembered that he had explained everything to her in detail in the notebook.
"This is Northern Qi. The current emperor is the fourth king of the Great Qi, Emperor Shengwu."
Mu Qingcheng silently recited it in her heart, and when she saw Yun Qing's disgusted look, she thought he was disgusted with her for not even knowing this.
He defended himself, "I actually know. He was abducted from far away by human traffickers. I don't know if he accidentally left the country. It seems that I am more at ease as long as I am still in Da Qi. Then, which country do you think is closest to our Northern Qi?"
Yun Qing was almost laughing out of anger. This girl was really good at fooling people. Did she think that everyone else was a fool?
"Where were you abducted from?" he asked instead of answering.
"Uh...uh! Well...I was abducted from our hometown."
Mu Qingcheng really hadn't figured out how to answer him. Could she say she was from China? Then he would definitely ask where China was, and how should she answer him?
Yun Qing pinched his brows in anger. This girl couldn't even make up a lie; someone could easily reveal her true identity with just three words. It seemed like he was the only one left to make up a lie.
He wrote carefully: "There are countless countries in the world, but only four are the most powerful. One of them is Northern Qi. The remaining three are Southern Yan, Eastern You, and Jiuli. These three countries are all adjacent to Northern Qi."
These are all knowledge points! Mu Qingcheng used the same spirit as she did in her senior year of high school to practice questions and tried hard to memorize them.
"Then is Northern Qi the northernmost part of the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands?"
Yun Qing shook his head, returned to the shaft and continued driving the ox cart, writing as he went.
"The world is now divided into four continents. Northern Qi is in the Northern Continent, hence the name. In the northernmost reaches of the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands, there are many nomadic tribes. People all over the world like to call them Turks. Another country is the Rakshasa Kingdom, which lives on the northernmost glaciers. The people there have strange appearances and have never had any contact with the outside world."
Mu Qingcheng covered the flashlight with her hand and looked at the words on the book. It was as if the door to a new world had opened, and even her sleepiness was thrown behind her.
"So, is Nanyan in Nanzhou? What other countries are there in Nanzhou?"
Yun Qing told everything he knew, and continued to write furiously.
The oxcart creaked along the country road. The moon was at its zenith, and moonlight filtered through the treetops, shining palely on the ground, turning the earth pale as well.
The ox cart suddenly stopped. Mu Qingcheng was still at the gate of the new world. She fell forward headfirst. Yun Qing hurriedly reached out to support her and prevented her from falling to the ground.
"Yunqing, what happened?" Mu Qingcheng steadied herself and asked with lingering fear.
Yun Qing looked solemn. He raised his index finger to his lips. Mu Qingcheng understood immediately and fell silent.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the half-human-high weeds on the side of the road.
Mu Qingcheng screamed in fear and jumped up to hide behind Yun Qing. Yun Qing used his body to block Mu Qingcheng, holding three wooden needles in his hand, ready to attack.
Yun Qing was a martial artist with sharp senses. He listened carefully for a moment and knew there was someone hiding in the bushes. The reason Mu Zhen didn't attack was because he didn't sense any killing intent.
Yun Qing took Mu Qingcheng's hand and wrote, "Don't be afraid, that person has no ill intentions. Ask who he is?"
Mu Qingcheng had no doubt about Yun Qing's perception. Since Yun Qing said there was no danger, she bravely stood out from behind Yun Qing.
Neither of them noticed that their hands were still holding each other.
"Who's there? Come out quickly?" Mu Qingcheng shouted loudly as if she was crying.
Suddenly, there was no movement in the bushes. The two waited for a while, and seeing that the person in the bushes was not about to come out, Mu Qingcheng deliberately raised her voice.
"Yunqing, I think there must be a hare hidden in there. Why don't you try shooting it with an arrow? Maybe we can even have a midnight snack tonight!"
They both stared at the bushes with bated breath, Yun Qing tightly gripped the wooden needle in his hand. But after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement in the bushes.
"Hiss! This rabbit is quite patient!"
Mu Qingcheng held Yun Qing's hand tightly and shouted towards the bushes: "I saw it, I saw it, it's right there. When I count to one, two, three, you shoot here."
"One...two...three...shoot!"
"Ah...ah..." Two screams were heard in succession, and there was a rustling sound in the grass. A thin child rolled and crawled out from the grass.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me..."
The child crawled to Mu Qingcheng's feet, knelt down and cried, "...Please let me go! I don't want to be caught and taken back...Please don't send me back! They...They will beat me to death...I will die."
In the moonlight, Mu Qingcheng could only vaguely see that the person kneeling in front of her was actually a little girl.
The little girl had a skinny face, single eyelids, thin lips, a small nose, sunken cheeks, and messy hair tied behind her head with a rope of unknown material.
The clothes on his body were in such a mess that they could no longer be called clothes. They could only be described as strips of cloth. Half of his calves were exposed and his feet were bare without shoes.
"You...are a girl?"
Mu Qingcheng was shocked as if it were a tsunami. This child was even more miserable than the refugees she had seen on TV.
Mu Qingcheng quickly dodged backwards. Yun Qing was still holding her hand, and he used his body to block her.
"Yun Qing, is there a famine in Qi right now?"
She hid behind Yun Qing and asked in a low voice. Yun Qing was puzzled and looked at her with a questioning look.
"This...this girl looks so scary!"
Yun Qing was even more confused. As soon as the child started talking, he knew it was a girl, but he couldn't imagine how scary a girl could be no matter how ugly she looked.
He took her hand and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
"She...she...was naked, pale and skinny, like a disaster victim who hadn't eaten a meal."
Yun Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps all ordinary-looking people were ugly in her eyes. In her words, they were "ugly, shabby, unattractive, and shameful to be seen in public..."
Seeing that neither of them spoke, the girl made up her mind and suddenly rushed over and hugged Mu Qingcheng's legs.
"Master, Miss... please save me!... If you can just send me to Xiaxi Village, I will work like a slave to repay you..."
Mu Qingcheng was suddenly grabbed by the thigh and frightened. She shook it off twice but failed to get it free. She had never expected this skinny girl to be so strong. Yun Qing didn't care about her skinny or frailty. He grabbed one of her arms and threw her away.
The girl was thrown two or three meters away and sat down on the ground. She didn't get up for a long time. It seemed that she had fallen quite hard.
Mu Qingcheng felt a little reluctant and wanted to go over and help the man up, but was pulled back by Yun Qing. In this world, good intentions are not rewarded.
