Chapter 327 Asking for something

"Relax, don't be too nervous." Miyue patted Chu Liuzheng's stiff lower back. "This horse is very docile. As long as you don't kick it hard, it won't throw you off."

Chu Liuzheng sat on the white horse, holding the reins tightly, his back straight, motionless, completely stiff as a piece of wood.

[Oh my god! This is completely different from riding a horse with Chen Xing. It's so high! If I fall, will I break my neck?]

"I really won't fall." Seeing that Chu Liuzheng couldn't relax, Siyue wanted to sigh. It's not like he hasn't ridden a horse before, so why is he so scared?

"I know, but I'm scared." Chu Liuzheng stiffened her neck. She believed that Siyue could hold the horse and would not watch her fall down.

But believing is one thing, being afraid is another, and she has no control over it at all!

"I'll take you for a walk first." Mitsuki patted the horse's head, "You need to get used to it."

Chu Liuzheng wanted to say no, but the white horse under him was already moving with its hooves.

Chu Liuzheng was so scared that he subconsciously squeezed the horse's belly. Perhaps he squeezed too hard, and the white horse shook its head a little agitatedly.

Siyue immediately reached out to comfort him. Looking up, she saw Chu Liuzheng's face was pale. She couldn't help but sigh, "How are you going to ride this afternoon? The young master has ordered that no one is allowed to ride in a carriage."

Chu Liuzheng looked sad: "Can't I ride with you?"

"Yes," Mitsuki said, "but the young master has instructed that you must be taught to ride a horse first."

Chu Liuzheng really wanted to die.

[Goddamn tyrant! Riding a horse isn't a necessary skill. You think I'm slowing down in a carriage and you're sending me back? I don't want to come!]

[Wow! I really don’t want to ride a horse! !]

She used to fantasize about the freedom of riding a horse across the prairie, but after actually riding a horse, she became obedient.

Isn’t it nice to ride in a carriage?

Who wants to suffer the pain of riding a horse?

By the window on the second floor, Xiao Jingfan looked at the two people learning to ride horses below, and all he could hear was Chu Liuzheng's ghostly howls.

He was annoyed by the noise and ordered Zhou Yuande: "Go to the carriage shop and buy a better carriage."

The medicine Feng Jing gave him would be harmful to the body if taken in excess, but judging from Chu Liuzheng's posture, he probably wouldn't be able to learn to ride a horse in a short period of time.

Zhou Yuande thought that Longkou Town was not big and there shouldn't be any better carriages, but seeing Xiao Jingfan's expression, he still followed the order and did it.

Xiao Jingfan looked out the window for a while and ordered someone to call Feng Jing over.

Feng Jing stayed up all night last night, slept all morning, and just woke up.

He came over yawning, "What do you want me to do, Master?"

Xiao Jingfan asked, "Is there any medicine for motion sickness that won't hurt you?"

"Yes." Feng Jing went back to his room to get a small porcelain bottle and placed it in front of him. "I just made it last night."

Xiao Jingfan looked at him: "You had time to do this last night?"

"It's not difficult, I can do it easily." Feng Jing stretched, "Master, do you have any other instructions? If not, I want to go for a stroll on the street."

"Go." Xiao Jingfan put away the small porcelain bottle and asked someone to pass the message to Siyue and Chu Liuzheng.

Chu Liuzheng almost cried with joy when he learned that he didn't have to continue learning horse riding.

Mitsuki carried her off the horse, handed the reins to the guard beside him, and helped her back to the lobby to rest.

Feng Jing was strolling in the lobby. Seeing this, he came over and invited the two of them: "Let's go out for a walk together?"

Chu Liuzheng's heart was moved, but he still glanced towards the stairs and said, "I have to ask the young master first."

"I just asked." Feng Jing said, "The young master agreed."

Although he was the only one whom the emperor agreed to, it would not be impossible to add two more people. The emperor should not be so stingy.

When Chu Liuzheng heard that Xiao Jingfan had agreed, he naturally had no objection.

She just went shopping for a while last night and she still hasn't had enough.

So, after Xiao Jingfan waited for a long time and no one came up, he asked the guards and got the news that the three of them went shopping together. They also left a message saying that they would come back after lunch, so that the people in the inn didn't have to wait for them to eat.

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

After waking up from a nap, Chen Xing went out to look for Chu Liuzheng and Siyue, but saw Xiao Jingfan sitting in the lobby drinking tea with a cold face, as if someone owed him tens of thousands of taels of silver.

She poked the guard closest to her and asked, "Who made the young master angry?"

The guard shook his head.

Chen Xing looked around, but didn't see Zhou Yuande, Chu Liuzheng, or Siyue, so he poked the guard again: "Where are the others?"

The guard looked at her and asked, "Can you please stop poking him?"

He said in a hard tone: "They are all out."

"Oh." Chen Xing continued to poke him, "Is Guard Lu back?"

The guard's arm felt numb again, and he suspected that the girl next to him did it on purpose.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Chen Xing wanted to continue prodding, but the guard turned aside and said, "He hasn't come back yet."

Seeing his alert face, Chen Xing regretfully withdrew his hand, strolled to the kitchen, and took a look at the lunch dishes.

The kitchen was bustling with activity, and the smoke was choking.

Seeing Chen Xing coming, the doorman hurriedly said, "Don't go in, young lady. There's a lot of smoke in there. Don't get your clothes dirty."

"I'm not going in." Chen Xing waved at him, "I want to ask you something."

The waiter took her a little further and asked, "What do you want to know, girl?"

Chen Xing took a bite of the radish he had just passed by and said, "I heard there's a Taoran Temple here. The abbot is young and has great magical powers. Tell me about it."

The waiter looked back at the kitchen and said in embarrassment: "The kitchen is busy, I can't get away——"

Before he could finish his words, Chen Xing threw him a piece of silver and asked, "Is that enough?"

"Miss, you've finally asked the right person." The waiter smiled and put the silver in his pocket, then quickly changed his tone, "The abbot of Taoran Temple is truly a god."

Chen Xing listened for a quarter of an hour, all about the abbot of Taoran Temple catching ghosts and demons. Although she enjoyed listening, she still waved her hand to interrupt: "Tell me something that others don't know, otherwise I will give you my money back."

When the guy heard this, he subconsciously covered his chest and smiled at Chen Xing: "Don't worry, girl, isn't this what I was going to say?"

He looked around, leaned close to Chen Xing's ear, and whispered, "The abbot of Taoran Temple..."

A hint of surprise flashed across Chen Xing's eyes, and he asked, "Are you serious?"

The man nodded: "I saw it with my own eyes, I dare not deceive the girl."

Chen Xing stared at him for a moment, thanked him, threw something to him, and turned to leave.

The guy thought it was a reward, but when he took it and looked at it, he found that it was half a radish.

The guy's eyes twitched, he threw the radish away and went back to the kitchen to help.

Chen Xing walked back to the lobby with his hands behind his back and found that Zhou Yuande and Lu Fei had both returned.

Lu Fei was reporting to Xiao Jingfan: "Master, the person is outside the city and is being guarded by secret guards. Just bring him with you when you leave the city."

Xiao Jingfan nodded and asked, "Where is the body?"

Lu Fei said: "It's also outside the city."

Xiao Jingfan frowned: "Didn't the people in the county government find out?"

"No." Lu Fei said, "After the temple master finished the ritual, Wu Mian's body was placed in the coffin and buried. We dug the grave after everyone left, so no one saw it."

Xiao Jingfan nodded: "Burn the body as soon as possible--"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Xing came over, rubbing his hands together and saying, "Master, hand Wu Mian's body over to me."

I really want to cut it open and take a look, but I didn’t have the chance this morning.
