The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands

Xu Junjun held two silver notes worth one thousand taels in her hands, grinning from ear to ear, and refused to admit that she was greedy for money.

Jun Xiaochen stared at her silently, hesitated for a few breaths, and then took out two more cards and put them on the table, his tone coaxing and tempting:

"As long as you don't get angry with me, these two are yours too."

“No birth, no birth.

The Regent is wise and powerful, and he must have other considerations for wanting to let me stay in Qiangcheng.

You mean well, how could I be angry?"

His fingertips quietly reached forward, held down a corner of the banknote and pulled it back, and Xu Junjun threw out the nice words without paying for them.

Although Jun Xiaochen knew that what Xu Junjun said was not true, he felt happy when he saw her smile at him without any care.

He took the banknote and kissed her deeply. Then, looking into Jun Xiaochen's slightly darker amber eyes, Jun Jun grinned:

"Does the Regent have any further instructions?"

Unexpectedly, Jun Xiaochen had the potential to be a sucker. Xu Junjun felt that he had made a huge profit today.

His eyes lingered on Xu Junjun's moist lips. Jun Xiaochen thought of that ridiculous night when he took the detoxification pill and somewhere in between, his head rose high and lifted up his brocade robe into a majestic arc.

Jun Xiaochen adjusted his sitting position, coughed, and said in a low voice:

"No instructions, just be happy."

"Then I thank the Regent for the reward. Your Highness, please do as you please. I woke up too early, so I'll take a nap first."

Without money, Xu Junjun would not serve me.

He put the banknotes in his arms, lay down on the cushion, closed his eyes and rested.

There was a thin blanket in the secret compartment of the car. As the car swayed, Xu Junjun's breathing soon became long and steady. Jun Xiaochen looked at her thin figure, took out the thin blanket, and gently put it on her.

While Xu Junjun was living a peaceful life, Chen Liu and others were going crazy with anxiety.

When Chen Liu first received the letter that Xu Junjun was going to Qiangcheng alone, he immediately sent the message back to the Great Sage.

Chen Liu had heard about the plague in Qiangcheng a long time ago, and he knew that the casualties of the plague in Tianqi were extremely widespread.

When Chen Liu learned that Xu Junjun was entrusted by the young Emperor Tianqi to go to Qiangcheng to rescue people, he wanted to ride his horse to chase after him and intercept him back.

It can be seen that Xu Junjun repeatedly emphasized in the letter that he was not allowed to follow, so no matter how anxious Chen Liu was, he did not dare to take the initiative to follow.

After suffering for a month in the Tianqi Imperial Capital, Chen Liu heard that the situation in Xinjiang City was getting worse and worse. After receiving the order from the Great Sage Imperial Concubine, he immediately ordered his men and rushed to Xinjiang City all night.

They have been in contact with Xu Junjun. The last communication was half a month ago. Chen Liu thought Xu Junjun was still in Jiangcheng, so the group rushed straight to Jiangcheng.

After crossing dozens of cities and getting closer to Jiangcheng, Chen Liu and others discovered that the plague in Jiangcheng was quite serious.

Listening to the people passing by discussing the imperial physician and the female physician, Chen Liu and others went from being shocked to being numb.

Finally, after learning that the female doctor had returned to the imperial capital with the regent, Chen Liu discussed with the Qilin Guards and decided to slow down their pace and return the way they came.

No longer in a hurry to travel, everyone took the narrow path and joined the official road, driving their horses back to the imperial capital.

That day, there was a sudden rainstorm.

Chen Liu and others traveled in the rain and finally found an inn to stay.

The waiter at the post station welcomed Chen Liu and others, who were soaked all over. Just as he arranged for them to sit down in the hall and handed them dry towels, another shout came from outside the post station.

The waiter didn't even have time to take off his straw raincoat before rushing out to greet him.

Seeing the exquisite carriage with hanging bells in the heavy rain, the waiter hurriedly opened the gate and let the carriage into the yard.

"Prepare two upper rooms for my master."

Throwing the token to the waiter, the man who shouted dismounted, walked forward, held up an umbrella, and lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealing a noble and handsome man and a delicate and beautiful woman inside.

The waiter saw the token clearly, his pupils trembled, and he answered loudly amid the heavy rain, kneeling down and saying respectfully:

"I pay my respects to you, my lord. Please be careful where you step."

In the pouring rain, the extremely powerful man was the first to stand up and step out of the carriage.

In the waiter's crawling sight, the man's ink-black gold-woven boots stepped on the ground and were instantly soaked by the rain. A piece of ink-black brocade robe was stained with water spots as the man took a step.

The waiter was so curious that he quietly raised his head and saw through the slanting light that he saw the distinguished man get off the carriage, stand still, and stretch out his long arms towards the carriage.

A bright and beautiful woman bent down and came out. Before she got off the carriage, she was steadily picked up by the man by the waist under the rain and walked straight to the post station.

The two men held a large umbrella above their heads. The man walked steadily, holding the woman in the white cloak in his arms, shielding her from all the wind and rain around her.

In the ink-blue landscape painting at the post station, the black and white corners of the two people's clothes are intertwined and dragging, with a shocking color.

Seeing the lower half of the woman's cloak in the man's arms, which was as thin as a jade chin, the servant did not dare to look at it any longer. He lowered his head and waited for the distinguished person to enter the post station before he got up and followed him in.

The postmaster heard the noise and hurried over. When he saw the token in the attendant's hand, he knelt down at the feet of the person who had just entered without even wiping the rain off his face.

"Welcome to our distinguished guests..."

When the postmaster was about to pay his respects, the man put his foot on his head and said in a deep voice:

"Two upper rooms, with hot water."

"Yes, yes, please follow me to the third floor."

The postmaster had never received such a distinguished person before. He got up nervously and trotted forward to lead the way, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

The man stopped talking and walked up steadily with the woman in his arms.

As for the guards who came with the man, six of them followed him upstairs to guard the entrance of the building, preventing strangers from approaching. The rest of the people went outside the yard to straighten their horses and salute in an orderly manner.

Chen Liu, Chen Shiyi and others saw everything from the corner. They only spoke in low voices after the man holding the woman disappeared from their sight.

Chen Shiyi was puzzled:

"Am I dazzled?

Was that the Regent of Tianqi, Jun Xiaochen?"

After being startled, Chen Liu calmed down and said affirmatively:

"It's him."

Chen Shiyi:

"Then is it possible that the person in his arms is Miss Xu?"

Chen Liu was unsure:

"The woman's figure looks very similar to Miss Xu, but I haven't seen her face, so I can't be sure."

The remaining Qilin Guards looked at each other and suggested:

"How about we go investigate in the middle of the night?"

Chen Liu refused:

"no.

Miss Xu has said many times that the Regent is ruthless and extremely sensitive.

Right now, Miss Xu's situation is unclear, so we can't act rashly and expose ourselves to the public."

The remaining Qilin Guards nodded, and Chen Shiyi said:

"Then let's stay here for one night and try to see the woman's face clearly before making our next plan."

Chen Liu agrees:

"We will take turns on duty tonight and see if we can find a chance to meet that woman.

If it's Miss Xu, we'll follow them all the way back to the Tianqi Imperial Capital."

After everyone agreed, they hid their bodies and left.
