Chapter 40 After all, we will rebel together in the future
"Haha, Jin Congcong, you're really great. Why didn't I see you were so smart before? You even learned how to follow people. You just don't know martial arts, otherwise you would be invincible."
靳聪聪见步若好像没有要揍人的迹象，壮着胆子舔着脸凑上去：“若儿我这也是担心你，还有……我这不是想看花了嘛，呵呵，对，想看花。”
Bu Ruo narrowed her eyes: "You like flowers? Why didn't you say so earlier? It's not difficult to like flowers."
After saying that, he waved his hand...
"Pfft...Hahaha, Master Jin, you finally got what you wanted. From now on, you can see the flowers whenever you look in the mirror. They're red, too. So pretty."
Jin Congcong saw Bi'er and Mo Bao looking at the top of his head with a smile, and reached out to touch it.
"I...I...I have flowers on my head? Ruo'er! Ruo'er, what did you do to me? Why are there flowers on my head?"
Bu Ruo nodded in satisfaction: "This red flower really matches your dark green robe today. As for the purpose of this flower, you will know it soon."
"You can't come all this way for nothing, right? Why don't you participate and feel a sense of belonging?"
"And... Your Majesty, are you just going to sit back and watch the fun? Don't you want to come out and join in?"
Xiao Yulan coughed lightly, and slowly walked out from behind a big tree with Cen Nan, and subconsciously touched the top of his head.
"Um...I'm not here to watch the fun. I'm here to protect you."
Bu Ruo certainly knew that Xiao Yulan's purpose in following him was not to watch the fun, but he still disagreed.
"Your Highness, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but do you still want to live? With your body riddled with wounds, you really think you're made of iron, yet you're actually getting out of your wheelchair. Now, let alone six months, allow a year for recovery."
Xiao Yulan knew he was in the wrong, so he could only say ingratiatingly, "I took medicine before I came here, and I also used my internal energy to seal all the major meridians in my body. There should be no problem within two hours, Ruo'er, don't worry."
"This mountain is too strange. I am worried about you. I am not here to monitor you, or... to discover your secrets."
"Although I have heard some of what Master Jin said while I was following him, don't worry, I will never delve into it unless you are willing."
That’s right, Xiao Yulan sold out Jin Congcong without hesitation. It is better for a fellow Taoist to die than for me to die.
Jin Congcong: ...
"Bao'er, was I talking too loudly on the way here? The prince should be very far away from us, how could he hear us? Is he trying to trick me?"
Mo Bao glanced at him and said, "I have doubted more than once whether you are really the son of the nameless mountain master. You don't even know such simple common sense?"
"You have no internal energy, and you didn't deliberately lower your voice when you spoke. The prince's internal energy and martial arts are among the best in the Three Kingdoms, so of course he could hear it."
Jin Congcong: ...
"Did Ruo'er hear it too?"
"What do you think?"
Jin Congcong closed his eyes and touched the flower on his head that he couldn't pull off, fearlessly saying, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Bu Ruo laughed, and Jin Congcong felt cold all over: "Ruo'er, just say it directly, don't scare me, okay? I... I'm scared."
Bu Ruo patted his shoulder and comforted him, "I don't want you to do anything. See that little hill in front of you? It's where the flowers are blooming. Just run a few laps there."
Jin Congcong didn't believe it and looked at the not-so-high hillside with suspicion: "It's that simple, just go run a few laps? You didn't lie to me."
"I'm telling you, I'm the only son my parents have. If anything happens to me..."
Bu Ruo waved his hand nonchalantly: "Didn't you just say on the road that you were picked up by Master and his wife, and I am their biological child, so even if you are taller or shorter, it doesn't seem to matter."
"Go quickly, or you'll have to run a few more laps after the flowers wilt."
Jin Congcong looked at Bu Ruo angrily, but he couldn't refute it. After all... what she said was the truth.
"Baoer, you..."
Mo Bao turned his head away without even looking at him: "The master said you should run, but he didn't say I should carry you. Go by yourself, we will watch you here."
"Don't worry, the master is kind-hearted. Even if you don't behave like a human being, the master won't watch you die."
"Besides, with the master's ability, even if he really died, he would probably be able to save you."
Jin Congcong hesitated and moved forward: "80%, what about the remaining 20%? What if I'm unlucky and happen to encounter that 20%? I'm still young and I haven't married yet. I can't let anything happen to me."
Bu Ruo couldn't stand the way he staggered, so she yelled, "You can't die, hurry up and get out of here. If you don't leave now, you'll have to come back tomorrow before dawn."
Jin Congcong was almost crying: "Wuwu... Ruoer, although the moon is quite bright today, I am scared, wuwu... I am scared."
"Can I let Bao'er run? If that doesn't work...can I let Bao'er run with me?"
If Jin Congcong looked like this on normal days, Bu Ruo would definitely be soft-hearted, but for some reason today, Bu Ruo insisted on letting Jin Congcong go alone.
"Ah! I tried my best! It's just a run at night, and I can't even run, but you just bully me, bully me, wuwu... wuwu..."
Soon, Jin Congcong's cursing and aggrieved voice could be heard all over the mountains and plains.
An hour later, Bu Ruo watched the color of the flower on Jin Congcong's head become darker and darker until it turned black, and then she stopped.
"Okay, come back."
Jin Congcong ran back crying under everyone's gaze, and sat down at Bu Ruo's feet and refused to get up no matter what.
"Wow, wow, wow... I'm so tired. Can we go back now?"
"And can you take the flowers off my head? You're not going to let me push them back like that, are you? I still have my dignity to protect."
Bu Ruo stared at the top of his head for a while and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, just push it back like this."
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Yulan and said, "Your Highness, you'd better send someone reliable to check this place again. The kind that digs three feet underground. There's something under that small hill."
Cen Nan was curious: "How did you know there was something down there, County Master? The Minister of Justice and his officers already dug once, but they didn't find anything except the bones."
Bu Ruo blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Of course someone told me. If they didn't dig it, it means they didn't dig deep enough. This hillside is connected to the mountain range behind it. It would be best if you buy this whole area before you start digging, Your Highness."
"Remember to buy it and dig it up, and be sure to do it quietly... Well, consider this my advance wedding gift to the prince. After all, we're going to rebel together in the future."
Xiao Yulan: ...
