Chapter 38 Ashu is so ruthless

Author: Naughty Gu Gu

"Your Highness already knows, so why bother to imitate that talkative woman who keeps asking questions again and again."

It's fine if he doesn't speak, but when he does speak he will make people mad to death.

Mu Chengze picked up the fan on his waist and fanned himself, shaking his head and rolling his eyes at him.

"With your temperament, cousin Shen's family must have suffered a hundred thousand grievances by following you."

"You never have a good word in your mouth. I'm just curious if you talk like this to your cousin of the Shen family."

"If you talk to her like this, will you often make her cry? If not, what will you be like when you get along with her?"

He talked more and more without any intention of stopping. Gu Tingshu threw off his whip and rode away, leaving only a piece of dust for him.

The dust raised by the horse's hooves made Mu Chengze's handsome face look gray and gray, and he was so angry that he could not fan himself.

He put away his fan and chased after him with gritted teeth.

A well-fed horse with sweat and blood can travel thousands of miles in a day, and they have already traveled half the distance in the afternoon.

When they arrived at a post station, the two of them stopped and asked someone to take the horse to feed.

Originally, the post station only accommodated officials. Since Emperor Yuan ascended the throne, the inn began to receive all kinds of passers-by, so the two of them went in without being very conspicuous.

"Ash, brother, I didn't bring any silver when I came out. It will be up to you when I pay the bill later."

Mu Chengze leaned on the counter and raised his eyebrows at the young woman who had just walked in. Seeing that she avoided her in shame and annoyance, he smiled and said to Gu Tingshu.

"This layer of skin that my brother is wearing is worth a few bucks. If you don't have money to pay the bill, you can use it to offset the bill."

The two of them traveled lightly and did not bring any change of clothes. If they wore these clothes and went out, they would really have nothing.

Mu Chengze clapped his hands with a fan and shook his head helplessly, "Ash is so ruthless."

"I'm very kind to my cousin, but I don't even want to treat her as my brother for a meal."

"Oh, what a world this is!"

He started to mutter again. Gu Tingshu ordered some food and then turned around and went to the corner, not wanting to hear more.

She is obviously a man, but she behaves like a harried woman who has suffered countless tortures.

"Ash, I've been riding for half a day for my brother and I'm very tired. Why don't we open two bedrooms and take a bath and have a good sleep?"

"If you are tired, go and rest by yourself, but let me make it clear first that I don't have money to buy a room for you."

"Ashu is so heartless. My father gave you so many good things, but he didn't even give you a room for your brother."

"Brother."

He suddenly screamed very seriously, as if he had encountered some danger. Mu Chengze put away the careless smile on his face and straightened up.

"What's the matter?"

This place is only half a day's journey from Kyoto. Those people won't be so anxious and start attacking them now, right?

If this is the case, then they are really quite arrogant.

"You are really noisy."

————

After a brief silence, Mu Chengze patted the table with his fan and said in disbelief, "Is this what you want to say?"

He spoke a few too many words, but it couldn't be considered noisy.

"My brother can treat you like this alone. Not only do you not feel that I am lucky in my life, but you actually feel that my brother is making a lot of noise. You are too dissatisfied."

"I can't bear this honor. Brother, you should find someone else."

Seeing that he was so ignorant, Mu Chengze wanted to say more, but was interrupted by the waiter who was carrying a basin and serving food.

"Guest beware, this soup is piping hot."

It was lunch time now, and there were gradually more and more people in the store. Even though Mu Chengze had a lot to say, he could only stop.

After eating and drinking, the two set off again and walked all the way to the mountain road. When the night got darker, the two of them had already reached the boundary of Luo City.

"Your Highness, there is an ambush in the bamboo forest ahead. They are all hiding. No one will survive."

When they entered a bamboo forest, gusts of breeze carried the smell of blood, and the two of them slowly stopped.

Thirteen came out of the bamboo forest, made a report and then disappeared instantly.

"The subordinates taught by Ashu are more useful than my brother. Lang Yi has already solved them all before he even makes a move."

Gu Tingshu gave him a cold look, "If you even compare with these, then next time I encounter danger, I will trouble my brother to protect me."

These words really made Mu Chengze feel what it means to "shoot oneself in the foot." If he really encountered danger, he would not be able to protect himself.

"Forget it, I don't have Ashu's good skills."

"Let's go."

The miasma is permeating the air at night and is extremely dangerous, but the miasma can also help them hide better. Good fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and those who should go must go.

"Ash, should I fill my stomach before going in?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other party threw two dry steamed buns over. Mu Chengze looked at his expressionless face and suddenly felt regretful.

He hasn't had any water from lunch until now, and then you only give him this?

I wonder what kind of stimulation he, the majestic prince and the heir apparent of a country, must have received before he took the initiative to come here to suffer.

"Eat and walk. If wild beasts appear later, you won't be able to get in."

It was impossible to ride a horse in the dense forest, so Gu Tingshu got off the horse as he spoke, untied the reins, patted the horse's head, and asked it to return on the same path.

Mu Chengze also dismounted with a dry steamed bun in his mouth. When he was about to go in, the other party suddenly handed over a dark pill.

"Antitoxic pill, one pill a day."

The miasma is highly toxic. If you don't take medicine first, you will die within half a day.

The finger-sized pills were so painful that he almost vomited bile. Mu Chengze ate the pills while chewing steamed buns to relieve the pain.

After finally swallowing it, I looked at the person next to me. He still had the same expression, as if he had just taken an ordinary pill.

"Ash, if this kind of pill is still available in the future, can you ask the imperial doctor to remove the bitter taste?"

"Let's go."

Gu Tingshu ignored him and walked in first.

As the night grew darker, gusts of cold wind blew through, and pieces of white smoke began to rise from the dense forest far away in the mountains. The white smoke came with the wind, and the birds that were originally resting on the branches all fluttered their wings and walked away. Some

Those who flew late were stunned by the poison and fell down the tree.

Even though the two of them took the antidote, the miasma that blew in from time to time while walking through the dense forest still made it difficult for them to breathe.

They were not walking through a miasma forest. The miasma was just blown by the wind, but it was so poisonous. If they entered the miasma forest, even pills would not be able to cure the poison.

Traveling through the dense forest very quickly, it was late at night before they finally reached the edge of the camp.

The two sides of the camp were separated by two mountain peaks, so the miasma could not blow through, but the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Listening to the faint sounds of military training inside, Mu Chengze tried to get closer, but was stopped by Gu Tingshu.

"What's wrong?"

"The journey here has been too smooth."

Even if it is built deep in the mountains, it should not be patrolled.

I originally thought that all the people on patrol would be taken care of by my own people, but neither Thirteen nor Lang Yi came out, so they were probably stopped by someone.

The two looked at each other and understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
