This thought lingered in Xiao Tong's mind, and his face changed expression constantly, causing the Qilin Guards on the side to secretly worry about him.

Fortunately, after a while, Xiao Tong showed no sign of getting angry. The Qilin Guards were just breathing a sigh of relief when they heard Xiao Tong say:

"Send a message to Yunzhou. I will be there in ten days at most."

The Qilin Guard was stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt down and responded:

"It's the Emperor."

After the Qilin Guards withdrew and made arrangements, Xiao Tong ordered several ministers to come to the court for an audience.

He had to arrange the government affairs in the court before he could rush to Yunzhou to pick up Niao Niao and her son.

……

No matter how worried Jiang Wumei was about the decision in the Great Sage Realm, within half a month, Xu Junjun had followed Jun Xiaochen into the Apocalypse Realm.

Unlike several cities on the Great Sage's frontier that are covered in withered yellow sand, the territory of Apocalypse is obviously warmer and more suitable for living.

Even though it is late autumn, green trees and red flowers can be seen everywhere in Tianqi, and birds are singing in the mountain streams.

Xu Junjun was surprised. She really didn't expect that compared with the Great Sage, Apocalypse was more suitable for human habitation.

With other thoughts in mind, Xu Junjun was like a squirrel curious about the environment, jumping up and down to buy this and that, without any awareness of being a hostage.

She had a relaxed attitude, as if she had just come to Tianqi for a trip and was not being forcibly abducted and placed under house arrest.

But the group's journey was delayed because of Xu Junjun, and they had to stop and go along the way. Jun Xiaochen didn't show anything on his face, but Wei Dong, who was familiar with him, knew that his master was impatient.

Wei Dong knew that the imperial capital was full of affairs. If they continued to delay like this, by the time they returned to the Regent's Palace, the backlog of official business would probably keep their master awake for several nights.

Therefore, when Xu Junjun took a fancy to an ox horn comb on a small stall and was about to ask for the price to buy it, Weidong immediately stepped in front of her and said with a smile:

"Miss Xu, let's hurry up.

It’s inconvenient to carry these on the road, you can buy them when you get to the imperial capital.”

Don't hit a smiling person, not to mention that last time at the inn, Wei Dong showed mercy to Chen Liu and his men.

Thinking about this, Xu Junjun looked back at Jun Xiaochen, who was unsure of his mood, and agreed in a rare good temper:

"Okay, I'll listen to you this time.

But once we get to the Tianqi Imperial Capital, you won’t be able to stop me.”

"Of course, Miss Xu, please get on the horse."

Wei Dong had a very good sense of propriety. After Xu Junjun got on the horse, he respectfully saluted Jun Xiaochen before getting on the horse again, ready to set off again.

Seeing Xu Junjun listening to Wei Dong like this, Jun Xiaochen narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a slightly dangerous look.

In the end, Jun Xiaochen did not speak, but before Xu Junjun could sit firmly on the horse, he squeezed the horse's belly with his powerful long legs and drove away, leaving everyone with a lonely and arrogant back.

As soon as he moved, the guards behind him quickly caught up, leaving Xu Junjun and Wei Dong at the end of the team, like two lone ducks.

Looking at the people going away, Xu Junjun was obviously a little confused. She looked at Wei Dong who was also confused at the side and was shocked:

"Did he take the wrong medicine?

Why is it like a powder keg?

Has your Regent always been so bad-tempered?"

Faced with Xu Junjun's three consecutive questions, Wei Dong didn't know how to answer. He hesitated for a while before saying:

"The master must be in a bad mood."

To be honest, compared with the princes and nobles of Tianqi, his master's mood is very stable.

Apart from being decisive in government affairs, he never lost his temper with his subordinates for no reason.

But his master never cares about others and deliberately suppresses his temper. Anyone who angers him will suffer.

But this time when he met Miss Xu, the master gave her the cold shoulder several times but never really lost his temper, which really confused Wei Dong.

It also surprised Weidong.

At first, Weidong thought that his master treated Miss Xu differently because of the poison in his body.

But during the time they were traveling together, Weidong could feel that things were a little different from what he had expected.

After making an excuse, Wei Dong saw that the people ahead were getting farther and farther away, so he urged:

"Miss Xu, let's go too."

Xu Junjun stared at Wei Dong in confusion. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that there was something wrong with the way Wei Dong looked at her.

As Weidong rode his horse forward, Xu Junjun held the reins and looked at the street behind him.

Not seeing anything unusual, Xu Junjun withdrew his gaze, shook the reins and followed Weidong.

The group continued on their journey through the city avenue and stayed in a simple inn at night.

There are only eight or nine rooms in the inn, and Jun Xiaochen and his group have to squeeze into two or three rooms to stay.

When traveling outside, people didn't care about so many things. Except for Jun Xiaochen and Xu Junjun who each had a room, the rest of the people lived in groups of three to four, and Wei Dong was no exception.

Xu Junjun and Jun Xiaochen lived in the only two rooms on the third floor.

After dinner, as soon as Xu Junjun entered the house, she washed up, extinguished the candle and went to bed without making any other noise.

Jun Xiaochen lived next door. After taking a shower and changing his clothes, he put on his outer robe, wiped his sword, and hung it on the head of the bed for easy access.

The night is fading.

The two people who fell into a deep sleep had the same dream.

In the dream, Xu Junjun found herself transformed into a furry fox.

But Jun Xiaochen turned into a majestic lion.

The fox wanted to take the glittering golden treasure under the lion's claws, while the lion stepped on the treasure, waiting for the beautiful fox with fiery red fur to take the bait step by step.

When the fox stepped into the trap set by the lion, the lion opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the fox into its stomach.

Ah!

A suppressed scream suddenly sounded, and Xu Junjun suddenly opened her eyes, looked at the gray bed curtains above her head, and gasped.

The lion's bloody mouth was too terrifying, and the excruciating pain of its sharp teeth piercing the flesh was too real. Xu Junjun sat up in shock, holding the quilt, and found that she was sweating profusely from fear.

What kind of nightmare are you having?

Why in the dream, that bastard Jun Xiaochen was stronger than her!

Xu Junjun got out of bed angrily and took a sip of cold tea before calming down her anger.

Just as she finished her tea and was about to pour another cup, she noticed that the candle next door suddenly lit up.

Then, Jun Xiaochen's silhouette appeared under the candlelight, and it seemed that he was also drinking cold tea.

Xu Junjun blinked and thought curiously:

Could it be that Jun Xiaochen also had a nightmare?
