After Lu Ye left, Lu Zhiyun asked Xie Chengjin: "Did someone plant that poisonous weed on purpose?"
"He has a good ear." Xie Chengjin did not deny it. "The person who set this trap is very smart. He has set up such a big situation. If it weren't for my life, I would really have to die here."
"Have you cleaned up the people around you?" Lu Zhiyun asked, "If your subordinates have been bribed and have been tipping off others all the way, then you can escape the first day of the first year but not the fifteenth."
"I checked, and there's nothing wrong with it."
"Since the opponent's methods make you hard to guard against, it's better to hide in the dark. Your people are too ostentatious, so just disperse them. It would be better if you only take a few people on the road, and then disguise yourself a little, pretending to be ordinary people."
"I think so too, but..." Xie Chengjin sat opposite Lu Zhiyun, smiling brightly, "I can't hide my face even if I want to!"
Lu Zhiyun smiled: "You can draw a few lines. If you feel that you can't do it, I can help. My mother said that helping others is good for physical and mental happiness. I am happy to serve the prince."
"Are you willing to do it?"
“You’ll know after you try it.”
"Hey, I remember when you were Xiao Xiu Nu and I was the prince of Wu'an Hou. You were not so rude to me at that time. My identity has changed, and Xiao Yun'er's heart has also changed. I am very sad."
Lu Zhiyun pulled out the dagger from her waist and swung it in Xie Chengjin's direction.
Xie Chengjin jumped up immediately, and his flexible skills allowed him to escape this 'disfigurement disaster'.
Lu Zhiyun couldn't help laughing when she saw his actions.
Xie Chengjin stood at the door, looking at Lu Zhiyun's smile, a doting smile appeared on his face.
Lu Zhiyun was so flustered by what he saw that she turned away from him and picked up her tea to drink.
On the other side, the doctor prepared an antidote, the remaining poisoned people were treated, and the epidemic was quickly brought under control.
The prefect who wanted to burn them to death learned the identities of Lu Zhiyun and Xie Chengjin and was frightened into a cold sweat.
Xie Chengjin sent someone to investigate and found out that the reason why the prefect acted like this was because someone was instigating him, saying that if the epidemic here worsened, the court would say he was incompetent and that his life would not be saved, let alone Wu Shamao.
The prefect was timid and ignorant, so he really believed what the other party said, so he set fire to the entire Heping Town.
Xie Chengjin searched everywhere according to the portrait provided by the prefect, but could not find that person. However, that person could not stay here for a long time, so the assassination had to be left alone.
A few days later, after Lu Zhiyun's health improved somewhat, they continued on their way. The two disguised themselves as brother and sister, and selected a few particularly important confidants to follow. The rest of the troops were divided into several groups to meet in Sanlin City.
On the merchant ship, Lu Zhiyun looked into the distance, the wind blew up the curtain cap, and it flew out.
Lu Zhiyun stretched out her hand to grab it, but failed. At this time, an arm stretched out from the side, and the arm reached up and grabbed the curtain cap.
"Girl, here it is."
The person who came to her rescue was a young man. He looked to be about twenty years old. He was wearing silk and satin. He should have come from a wealthy family.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." The man looked at her in amazement. "My surname is Feng, Feng Qinian. What do you call the girl?"
"My surname is Lu."
"Miss Lu," Feng Qinian asked, "where are you going?"
"We are going to Sihai City." Lu Zhiyun said.
Sihai City and Sanlin City are not in the same direction. This is intentional, just to prevent those people from noticing their route. If they go directly to Sanlin City, they will easily be blocked.
"Sihai City is an unsafe place. Why would a girl want to go there?"
"Visiting relatives."
Xie Chengjin woke up from the cabin and originally wanted to go next door to see Lu Zhiyun, but she was not there.
He came out to look for her and saw her chatting happily with a young man. He deliberately held on to the pillar next to her and said, "Yun'er, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. Please come here."
"Master Feng, I'm sorry."
"That's Brother Ling! He's not feeling well. Is he sick, or is he not used to life on the ship?" Feng Qinian said, "There is a doctor on the ship. Let the doctor examine him."
Lu Zhiyun thought that Xie Chengjin had been taking care of him recently. After she detoxified him, there was nothing serious, but he seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Maybe he was really uncomfortable, so it would be better to see a doctor.
"Then I'll trouble Mr. Feng."
"No trouble. It's Feng's honor to meet Miss Lu on the ship today." Feng Qinian said softly.
Cough! Xie Chengjin coughed lightly.
Lu Zhiyun strode over, supported him and said, "Brother, this is Mr. Feng. He said there is a doctor on the ship and he would like to see you."
"Master Lu, my Excellency, Feng Qinian, it looks like I am a few years older than you, so I'll give you a favor and call you Lu Xiandi."
Xie Chengjin looked at Feng Qinian with a smile but not a smile: "We just met, so we don't need to be so familiar."
"When you are away from home, it is more convenient to have one more friend. I met Miss Lu and we hit it off immediately. I am also amazed to meet the talented Lu Xiandi again. I really want to make friends with you."
"We felt like old friends at the first sight!" Xie Chengjin hugged Lu Zhiyun's shoulders, "Miss Lu, you make friends so fast."
Lu Zhiyun was held tightly by him and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Stand still."
"My body is weak and I can't stand firmly." Xie Chengjin said deliberately, "My brother is about to die of illness, and my sister is still making new friends outside. My brother is very sad. It seems that in my sister's eyes, my brother is not that important."
Lu Zhiyun: "..."
My mother said this kind of behavior is called - tea.
Although she doesn't know what this has to do with 'tea'.
Feng Qinian thought this pair of 'brothers and sisters' were strange.
Maybe it’s because the two of them look so good-looking!
The doctor came quickly and took Xie Chengjin's pulse.
"This young man is a little weak. Just wait until he gets off the boat and eat more good food to replenish his health," the doctor said.
"Hum?" Feng Qinian looked at Xie Chengjin with a strange expression.
This young master seems to have an extraordinary bearing and does not look like a 'virtual' person. Could it be that he has misjudged this person? In fact, this person is also a man with a golden coat on the outside and a corrupt coat on the outside?
Feng Qinian obviously over-imagined the meaning of "virtual".
What the doctor meant by 'deficiency' was literally. During this time, Xie Chengjin had to worry about Lu Zhiyun all day long in order to take care of her whether she could eat or sleep well. The latter started to rush as soon as she turned around, so he didn't have time to take good care of his body. Of course,
It’s also empty.
However, for men, the word "virtual" cannot be used indiscriminately, otherwise it will easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Lu Zhiyun's thoughts are not so complicated. After all, she is not a man, nor is she married, so she doesn't understand so many twists and turns.
"Master Feng, you are the boss of this ship, right?"
"Yes."
"Then do you have any extra ingredients on the ship? If so, I am willing to buy them at double the price." Lu Zhiyun said.
"Miss Lu, you don't have to be so polite. Just tell me what ingredients you need. I still have spare ingredients on board."
