After binding the investment system, I began to cultivate the empress

“I…I…”

Student Li's tongue was tied for a moment. He had indeed fantasized about being a hero and saving a beautiful woman, and walking hand in hand with her.

But when I was really asked, I found that my mind was blank.

He never thought that the beauty he met would be so beautiful, nor did he expect that his mouth, which usually talked nonsense seriously, would be so stupid at this time.

"It's our first meeting, you don't need to be nervous." Ying Bing's eyes were smiling, as if he was looking at a fool.

"I always feel like this isn't my first time..."

Li Mo didn't know where this familiar feeling deep in his soul came from.

It seems like this smile has appeared in my dreams countless times, but I couldn't remember it clearly when I woke up. It was not until today that it took on a concrete shape.

"By the way, why did you secretly tell me the answer to the riddle just now?"

"not me."

Ying Bing looked away.

She was afraid that Li Mo couldn't guess it, but she didn't expect that it was the same thing he was saying in his heart.

Is that true? Xiao Li didn't believe it.

But he had no evidence, after all, he was the only one who heard her voice.

He still hadn't figured out why the others couldn't hear it.

"Are you planning to go on a long journey?" Ying Bing asked casually.

Tsk tsk, she had actually been waiting here for a long time.

It’s because Li Mo said, what if someone else accompanies him in the world?

Although it was a joke, Li Mo would not take it to heart even if he had not forgotten the past.

But the speaker has no intention, and the listener has intention.

She minds a lot.

"Oh, yes, the city gate seems to be closing soon!"

Li came back to his senses and bowed to her: "Fairy sister, my name is Li Mo, I am a member of the Li family in the city, we will see you next time... next time!"

He was even more afraid that if he said a few more words, he would not be able to leave.

Unexpectedly, Ying Bing frowned and handed the mask back in anger:

"Back to you."

"this...."

I saw her get on a carriage, lift the curtain, and look at me with a faint gaze.

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the weather suddenly changed from sunny to cloudy.

But maybe Xiao Li is a genius.

Suddenly a sentence popped up in my mind:

"True departure is often silent. When she says she wants to leave, she is waiting for you to stay."

"Are you going out of town too?"

"....." Ying Bing didn't laugh or say anything.

Li Mo felt more and more certain about it, so he also got on the carriage:

"Fairy sister, please take me with you. I was so busy guessing riddles that I didn't even buy a horse. The place I'm going to is a long way away. If I don't have someone to take me with me, I don't know how long it will take me to get there."

"But I don't know where you're going."

Ying Bing pursed her lips and did not let go of the hand that was holding the big-headed doll.

"Mocheng, is it on the way? If not, you can take me to Yinma Town..."

"On the way."

Ying Bing gathered the hair by her ears and just agreed, but then she lowered her eyes and began to think.

He seemed to be remembering something.

"What's wrong?" Li Mo asked.

"I don't know the way."

Ying Bing said with a cold expression.

Li Mo: “?”

So he has to drive?

wrong....

If she doesn’t know the way, how does she know which one is on the way?

.........

The time spent wandering the world with a sword was not as interesting as Li Mo had imagined.

It is said that when you see injustice, you should draw your sword to help. However, when Xiao Li met a chivalrous man, he didn't even have a chance to help.

On the first day, Xiao Li encountered a man selling himself to bury his father, and he paid ten taels of silver. On the second day, he passed by a village and found that the biggest problem the villagers faced was that there was no bridge to cross the river. On the third day, he encountered a fellow villager whose fruit was unsaleable and would rot in the fields if it could not be sold...

This is different from what Xiao Li thought.

Because the biggest injustice that everyone encounters seems to be poverty...

There is absolutely no room for maneuver, everything requires money.

So...I should have brought more money with me when I went out.

"The heroes in the novels always indulge in fine food and wine, and spend lavishly. And they don't even work. Where do they get the money?"

Sitting in the shaking carriage, Li Mo couldn't figure out the problem.

"The town of Yinma is just ahead."

Ying Bing's voice came to my ears.

Speaking of which, Li Mo was a little curious at first.

How could she, a woman, dare to leave the city alone and run so far?

Later I thought, she could even transmit secret messages through telepathy, so maybe her skills were beyond my imagination.

But when Li Mo asked her for advice, she said that it was not a secret communication.

Li Mo thought she didn't want to reveal her true identity, so he didn't ask any more questions.

As the carriage swayed, the wind blew open the curtains.

You can see abundant water plants as soon as you see it. There is a big river in front of you. You can hear the sound of rushing water here. On the opposite side is a quaint town.

There are several boats waiting in front of the river, some big and some small.

"Young man, are you going to cross the river with the carriage?"

In front of a large ship, the boatman was welcoming a group of horsemen who looked like they were from a security company to board the ship. When he saw Li Mo driving over, he asked.

"Exactly."

"If you don't mind, you can come aboard and join us. The price is negotiable."

The boatman glanced at Li Mo's clothes and thought he came from an extraordinary family.

"Boatman, you've already accepted the order I'm waiting for. It's not good to add another passenger at the last minute."

A middle-aged man walked out of the escort agency, dressed in shorts, with a long breath and sharp eyes.

In all likelihood, he is the leader of a group of escorts.

The boatman bowed and said, "Captain Dong, you didn't pay for the boat, and it's getting late. Why not make it easier for me? You won't lose anything anyway. I'll make some extra money, and this young man won't have to waste his time."

"This..." The escort leader wanted to say something.

A woman's voice came from the carriage behind him:

"In that case, let's do as the boatman says."

"Excuse me."

Li Mo felt his arms and counted out the river crossing fee from the few coins he had.

When entering the cabin, the middle-aged escort leader surnamed Dong said something incoherently:

"You are quite skilled young man, but the river is turbulent, so please be careful."

"Ok?"

Li Mo didn't understand why, but the other party had already left.

He could only shrug his shoulders, secure the carriage to the deck with ropes, and then return to the carriage.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

He didn't know how this question came so easily.

Well, it’s definitely not because I ate something she cooked not long ago.

"I want to eat fish."

Ying Bing retracted his gaze from the river and said.

.....

Not far away, the escorts gathered on the other side of the deck, where they were also cooking.

The escort leader brought the cooked fish soup into the carriage.

In the carriage was a young woman who was not very old. She was dressed elegantly and looked like a lady from a wealthy family.

But her way of eating fish was not very pretty. She picked up the fish meat and chewed it together with the bones.

He gulped down the boiling hot fish soup and patted the bowl down in a rather heroic manner.

"Ge Yu, why did you make such a noise just now and let those two people get on the boat?"

Escort Captain Dong frowned and said, "Those two look to me like a young man secretly eloping with his lover. They don't seem to have any martial arts skills. If chaos breaks out, we won't be able to protect them. Wouldn't that mean we've lost two lives in vain?"
