Chapter 572 Lessons

Seeing Zhuang Qingning dressed neatly and carrying a small bag on her back, he was immediately surprised, "Girl, what are you doing..."

"I have to go out for some urgent business, so I'm afraid you'll be gone for a while. Take good care of the house these few days. Go to Qingzhu Garden tomorrow and tell Mr. Fan to go to the academy to see Qingsui before the Dragon Boat Festival. Tell her not to come home. If she wants to come back, just let her go find Mr. Fan first."

"For the rest, tell everyone to take good care of their own affairs. If there are any unresolved issues, you can consult with the village head uncle, or go to town to consult with Uncle Zhang."

Zhuang Qingning didn't have time to talk too much with Xiang Qiao. He just gave her some simple instructions on what she needed to worry about.

In Xiangqiao's opinion, since Zhuang Qingning was going to do something, it must be something extremely important. And since she didn't say what she was going to do, there was no need for her to ask. She just nodded and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I've taken note of it."

"Although it's hot today, it might still be a little chilly if you go out at night. You should bring a cloak, girl."

Xiangqiao took out the cloak from the cabinet.

This was a new one she made using the material that Cheng Ruize had sent her earlier. The material would appear shimmering if it had some luster, and it would look very beautiful and eye-catching whether worn during the day or at night.

Zhuang Qingning thought about it, put on the cloak, took the water bag that Xiangqiao had just filled for her, and hurried out.

Xiang Qiao stood at the door, feeling a little worried. After watching Zhuang Qingning walk away, she closed the door, went back to her room, and lay down on the bed again.

After all, Zhuang Qingning was going out at night, and Xiang Qiao was a little worried about her as a girl. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Finally, she simply gave up sleep and lit candles and oil lamps to illuminate her room.

Then she went to get the needle and thread basket and continued to sew a half-finished summer dress for Zhuang Qingsui, so that she could feel a little more at ease.

As for Zhuang Qingning, he quickly walked out of the house and walked towards Chu Jinnian according to the instructions of a certain Five.

He stopped only when he was far away from the village and could no longer see the sporadic lights in the village.

"Come out." Zhuang Qingning said in a deep voice.

After a moment of silence, Su Mu, dressed in black, saluted Zhuang Qingning and said, "I, Su Mu, greet Miss Zhuang."

"Are you alone? As I recall, there should be two of us."

As soon as Zhuang Qingning finished speaking, Su Ye appeared silently beside Su Mu and also saluted Zhuang Qingning and said, "I am Su Ye, honored to meet Miss Zhuang."

"Prepare the horses and go to Xuanyuan Prefecture." Zhuang Qingning said in a deep voice, "Jinnian is in danger right now, it's urgent, you two need to hurry as fast as possible."

Chu Jinnian is in danger? Su Mu and Su Ye looked at each other, both startled, and hurriedly clasped their fists, "Miss Zhuang, please follow me."

Since Chu Jinnian sent the two of them to secretly protect Zhuang Qingning, in order to prevent any accidents from happening, Su Mu found an extremely secluded place nearby, where he lived on weekdays, and also raised a few horses in case of emergency.

It just came in handy at this moment.

Three horses, one for each person, is enough.

only……

Most girls don’t know how to ride a horse. Even if they can, they probably can’t stand riding at such a fast speed.

Especially after following Zhuang Qingning secretly for such a long time, she seemed to be just an ordinary farmer's daughter, and she didn't see horses very often on a daily basis.

Su Mu suddenly became a little worried.

But when she saw Zhuang Qingning wearing a cloak, climbing onto the horse very skillfully, holding a whip in his hand, and riding away, she was a little stunned.

But thinking about what Chu Jinnian seemed to have said before, Zhuang Qingning was of noble status, and recalling that Zhuang Qingning was not like an ordinary peasant girl on weekdays, she felt that this matter was also normal.

Su Mu didn't think any more about it. He just raised his whip and rushed over with Su Ye.

As Su Mu galloped on his horse, the wind whistled in his ears. When he glanced at Zhuang Qingning in front of him with a calm expression, he opened his mouth several times but did not ask.

"If you have something to say, just say it." Zhuang Qingning suddenly turned his head and spoke.

"Miss Zhuang, there is one thing I don't understand. Please enlighten me." Su Mu, who was holding the reins, arched his hand.

"If you want to ask me when I discovered you two sisters, then I might as well tell the truth."

Zhuang Qingning glanced at Su Mu and chuckled, "It was the first day you came to my side."

It’s true.

Su Mu was amazed at Zhuang Qingning's alertness, but also a little sad.

She and Su Ye are among the best secret guards. They should not be discovered even if they follow someone for months or even years.

But not only were they discovered by Zhuang Qingning, they were discovered on the first day they arrived.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It seems a bit embarrassing...

"You don't have to take it to heart." Zhuang Qingning explained, "Snowball at home has always been very sensitive to the scent of strangers. It kept meowing that day."

"No matter how well you hide, you can't escape its nose and eyes."

In fact, the truth was that someone told her at the time to remind her that there were people nearby, and asked her to remember to conceal her presence when using the system so as not to be discovered.

But Zhuang Qingning couldn't say this out loud, so he had to use Snowball as a cover.

"So that's how it is." Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief. "Many animals are quite intelligent. They can detect things that humans can't detect and smell things that others can't smell. I think Snowball is the same."

However, that furry little guy is usually greedy, sleepy and playful. It seems to be lazier than ordinary cats. I never thought it has such ability.

It can be seen that if we want to do anything in the future, we have to take these things into consideration.

Su Mu thought about it and secretly made up his mind to learn from this lesson.

Zhuang Qingning didn't know what Su Mu was thinking at the moment, but seeing that she no longer asked about the matter, he felt a little relieved. When he thought of the danger Chu Jinnian was in as described by Zhi Wu, he just swung the whip in his hand, squeezed the horse's belly, and urged the horse to run forward as quickly as possible.

Su Mu and Su Ye hurriedly followed.

The three of them traveled through the night and arrived at Ying County when the sun rose in the east in the morning.

According to the advice of a certain Five, if they can work harder during the day, they will be able to meet up with Chu Jinnian by tonight.

"Miss Zhuang, let's find a place to have some breakfast. I also need to feed the horses some grass and take a short rest." Su Mu suggested.

The three horses beside them were all carefully selected fine horses from the Western Regions.
