Chapter 11 Bought a Donkey Cart
Zhu Mingqing quietly moved back, pinched some with her fingertips and brought it to her nose to smell. Yes, it was the same powder she had brought with her on previous missions, which could be used to attract wild animals.
It seems that the wolf pack last night was not an accident.
Zhu Mingqing calmly asked, "Captain Liang, are there often wolves at the foot of the mountain where we rested last night?"
Before Liang He could say anything, Chang Wu yelled, "How is that possible? This is the first time we've seen one. We've never heard of wolves there."
Liang He nodded, his expression filled with fear: "Indeed, we will avoid those dangerous areas when we are traveling."
Seeing that their expressions didn't seem fake, Zhu Mingqing felt a little relieved.
If Captain Liang also wants to kill them, then they will have a very difficult time along the way.
However, the suspect who spread the powder was definitely in the escort team, otherwise he would not have been able to escape the inspection of these people.
There is also Deputy General Qi.
This person also has a grudge against the Luo family, so maybe he was the one behind this.
Therefore, for the sake of future safety, the suspect must be found.
A gentle breeze blew. Zhu Mingqing tucked her hair behind her ears and pointed behind her in surprise: "What is this?"
"Huh?" Chang Wu and Liang He looked over immediately.
"This smell is so strange. I think I smelled it last night when I was cooking." She said casually, "Captain Liang, do you know what this powder is?"
"Boss, look." Chang Wu pinched some powder and handed it to Liang He.
Liang He leaned in and sniffed it, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
Chang Wu also recognized it.
The smell of this beast-attracting powder is very faint, and it cannot be detected unless you look for it specifically.
They are always cautious when traveling outside, so how could there be such a thing in the car?
Liang He couldn't help but look at Zhu Mingqing and asked doubtfully, "Madam, your sense of smell is quite keen."
When it comes to this, Zhu Mingqing is no longer modest. She may be wrong in other aspects, but she will never be wrong in taste.
Otherwise, how could she have mastered the cooking skills that even her friends who have won the title of chef god admired.
She smiled modestly, as if she knew nothing:
"Maybe it has something to do with my cooking skills, so my sense of smell is still pretty good."
Thinking of yesterday's dinner, Liang He couldn't help swallowing. Maybe... he was overthinking it?
How could the wife of the Crown Prince of Luo's mansion know about these vile things?
"My lords, do you know what this is?" Zhu Mingqing continued to ask to divert their attention.
Liang He's dark face remained expressionless. He gave Chang Wu a look that told him to shut up, then said calmly, "Madam, don't worry. It's just some ordinary powder."
As he spoke, he swept the powder out vigorously and rinsed the cart carefully with water.
…
The horses' hooves clattered as they moved forward. Liang He and Chang Wu said nothing, but exchanged glances from time to time.
Zhu Mingqing knew that they were already suspicious and would be on high alert. She just hoped that the suspect could be found as soon as possible. She didn't want to cause any more trouble.
The cart became quiet and soon arrived at the town gate.
This town is called Yong'an Town. It is not a small town. People are coming and going on the streets. The stalls are shouting, selling food, toys and all kinds of small things. The atmosphere is peaceful.
It was the first time Zhu Mingqing had seen such a lively ancient market. He stared at it intently with a smile on his face.
"Ma'am, come in and take a look at the clothes." A little girl was soliciting business at the door of the clothing store.
Zhu Mingqing took a look inside. The floor was clean and tidy, and all kinds of skirts were neatly arranged.
She had been wearing this dress for two days and it was covered in dust. If she wore it any longer, it would probably smell.
"Captain Liang..." She smiled ingratiatingly, her smile as bright as the moon, so bright and beautiful.
As Liang He hesitated, a silver ingot appeared in his hand.
Ten taels!
Liang He's eyes widened, and just as he was about to speak, another ingot of silver fell into his hand.
Twenty taels!
He took a deep breath and pretended to be calm and replied, "Go quickly and come back soon."
Zhu Mingqing smiled, her skin was whiter than snow, her peach blossom eyes were slightly upturned, and her whole person was even more charming.
Who would hate money as long as it doesn't touch upon principles?
Moreover, Captain Liang is an upright person. When they encountered danger last night, he could have ignored them, but he still brought his men to stay and fight against the wolves.
And there is Chang Wu, who looks like a simple-minded fool.
Although she didn't want to reveal the fact that she was rich, if she wanted to live comfortably, they would inevitably notice it.
After much thought, I decided to bribe him.
After everyone entered, Chang Wu couldn't help but sigh, "This prince's wife is so beautiful."
It doesn't look like she has children at all.
Liang He glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Chang Wu frowned in confusion: "Did I say something wrong again?"
"You!" Liang He knew what he meant. It was a sincere compliment, and he had no other thoughts. "Speak less in the future."
He felt the twenty taels of silver in his hand and was in a good mood. Now he saved money on buying food.
Inside a clothing store.
Everyone else was busy, so the proprietress came over to greet everyone, "Madam, would you like to buy some clothes? Come this way, please."
Zhu Mingqing nodded slightly, picked up a few pieces of clothing at random, and pointed at the fabrics: "These, these, and the ones on that cabinet, pack them all up for me."
The proprietress was ecstatic at first, then she casually reminded: "Madam, these are all top-quality fabrics..."
The proprietress waved a few silver bills in front of her and said nothing.
She immediately directed everyone to start packing up, and finally, seeing that they were too busy, she joined in, fearing that if she was too late she would scare the God of Wealth away.
Zhu Mingqing came to the bronze mirror and looked at the face that was exactly the same as his in his previous life, silent and lost in thought.
She actually didn't like her appearance in her previous life because she was too beautiful and was always looked down upon.
During her years in the army, she had actually been intentionally trying to downplay her appearance.
A friend once said that her facial features are particularly perfect, a kind of extreme beauty that does not put pressure on people, and is very fresh and natural.
He also asked her to smile more. Every time he saw her smile, all his worries disappeared. For this reason, he gave her the nickname "Zhu Xian'er".
When she heard this, she wanted to die.
This evaluation was completely contrary to what she wanted.
She later deliberately weakened her youthful face, painting her face dark every time she went on a mission, and even when she was not on a mission, she would put on a more aggressive makeup.
Sure enough, it saved me a lot of trouble later.
I didn’t expect that I would still have this face in this life.
Forget it, I like it anyway, so I won’t be disgusted by it anymore.
"Madam, you guys clean up first. I'll come back later to get my things." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Outside the clothing store.
"Xiaowu, go to that grain store and take a look..."
Before Liang He could finish his words, the prince's wife came out.
Still wearing the same clothes as before.
Are you out of money? You won't have to return the twenty taels of silver, will you?
He clenched the silver ingot and asked tentatively, "Have you bought the clothes?"
Zhu Mingqing smiled and nodded: "They are packing up and will be ready soon. Let's go buy other things first and pick them up when we come back."
Liang He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go buy some food first."
It's just a few pieces of clothing, there's no need to waste time on it.
So, a few of them turned around and went to the grain store.
When he came out, the cart was already piled with food.
Zhu Mingqing bought a lot of food and seeds.
Liang He originally wanted to stop them, after all, there were too many things and it looked a bit eye-catching.
But she gave too much!
Next, Liang He saw her take out a silver ingot from her sleeve. The sleeve was like a treasure pot, and she could never take out all the money.
With Lianghe turning a blind eye, Zhu Mingqing simply bought a donkey cart to pull things.
There were simple pots, pans, seasonings, and boxes of vegetables and fruits. When they returned, they bought half a truckload of food. When they passed a garment store, several large bags of clothes and fabrics were also loaded into the truck.
It’s two meters high, and if you sit on it, it will probably bury you.
I don’t know if the donkey can pull the load.
Chang Wu's eyes sparkled with envy: "That's a lot of money."
If he wasn't such an upright young man, he really couldn't help it.
Liang He hadn't expected that this "exiled prince's wife" was so rich and could even be bought. It would be bad if someone saw her when she got back.
Without waiting for him to speak, Zhu Mingqing said, "Captain Liang, you can use these things as you please."
Gulp!
The two swallowed at the same time and looked at each other.
