Tao Zhou seemed to have anticipated such a situation.
He walked forward with a smile, took out something from his pocket and held it in his palm.
When the gatekeeper saw it, his face changed drastically.
Originally he seemed superior and showed impatience.
He immediately nodded and bowed, and let him pass respectfully.
Tao Zhou raised his eyebrows at Su Jianyue.
He made a gesture of invitation again.
Su Jianyue: “…”
What I mean is, if she doesn't go over now that things have come to this, isn't that a bit inhumane?
I am a woman who can bend and stretch myself!
...
...
Su Jianyue maintained the spirit of being able to bend and stretch, took a deep breath, and smiled broadly at Taozhou again.
"Thank you, sir."
Out of the city.
There were not many people coming and going on the official road.
Tao Zhou's clear and elegant appearance reveals a bit of mischief.
Looks very unstable.
"This time, girl, are you willing to go with me?"
Su Jianyue thought for a moment and said, "You and I may not be on the same path."
"Naturally, we are on the same path."
Tao Zhou's smile was still harmless.
"Before I go down the mountain tomorrow, I will send the girl to Tuokou Town safely!"
Su Jianyue was surprised and took a step back.
He tightly grasped the bottle of pepper spray at the cuff of his sleeve.
"Do you know who I am?"
“I don’t know!”
He answered frankly.
"Although I don't know, I can guess a little from the rumors!"
Su Jianyue's face suddenly darkened.
"You and I have different paths, so let's say goodbye."
The folding fan blocked her way.
Tao Zhou was still smiling.
Her smile is as white as a sheet of paper, harmless to humans and animals.
A person's eyes can actually be deceiving!
Su Jianyue stepped back again.
"Jinzhou Taojialing?"
She said in a strange voice, "Although I don't know whether your address is real or fake, when I find the person I'm looking for, I will naturally send the rent I owe you to your home."
Su Jianyue walked forward again.
Tao Zhou's folding fan fell in front of her again.
"Young lady, why do you need to be so cautious? Right now, the world is in turmoil, and your majesty is short of elite soldiers and good generals. I can read and write, and I have some knowledge of ancient and modern times. I just want you to introduce me to someone. In exchange, I will take you to the place you want to go."
“How can I trust you?”
Tao Zhou took out a jade pendant from his arms.
"This item is the most important thing I rely on when I travel around the world. If you don't believe it, I will give it to you for safekeeping for the time being."
Tao Zhou held a piece of green jade in his hand.
Su Jianyue couldn’t quite understand what was carved on it.
But she recognized that Tao Zhou had used this jade pendant to bring her out of the city gate just now.
No one was troubled by me.
Su Jianyue took the jade pendant.
Tao Zhou's eyes smiled again.
"Let's go, this place is about a hundred miles away from Tuokou Town. Miss, you should be able to ride a horse, right?"
Su Jianyue nodded hesitantly.
"Shh~"
Tao Zhou moved his mouth, and a tall gray horse rushed out from the woods on the side of the road.
"Oh, my dear!"
Tao Zhou opened his arms to welcome the horse.
That horse seemed to have a soul.
It stopped in front of Tao Zhou and let Tao Zhou stroke its drooping mane.
"My dear, where is your wife?"
The horses neighed.
Another white horse ran out of the jungle.
"Oh, baby, take a customer, take a customer!"
He happily introduced his two horses to Su Jianyue.
"Look, isn't my car exceptionally heroic and extraordinary?"
Su Jianyue tentatively touched the white horse's mane.
The white horse did not resist, but was obedient and allowed her to touch it.
Tao Zhou added: "My horse is called Sweetheart, and yours is called Darling. Fortunately, I didn't feel lonely during this journey because of them."
"You're alone, riding two horses?"
She still didn't let down her guard.
How could such a coincidence happen?
She showed up at the inn with no money to pay the bill and happened to meet him.
And he, with his magical powers, took her out of the city and happened to have two horses?
"They are a couple, and they love each other deeply. I will definitely not be able to return in the short term when I leave this time. I can't forcibly separate this loving couple and let them live in different places, suffer from the pain of missing each other, and die of depression, right?"
Su Jianyue: “…”
It sounds like it makes sense!
She climbed onto the horse.
"Then let's go!"
There happened to be a three-way intersection in front of me.
Su Jianyue asked: "Which way?"
"All the way east."
Su Jianyue: “…”
She turned her head away and coughed lightly.
"You should lead the way!"
Su Jianyue will never be able to tell the difference between east, west, south and north in her entire life.
Tao Zhou sees through it but doesn't say it out loud.
"Oh, okay!"
Tao Zhou jumped onto his horse.
He took a look at Su Jianyue's outfit.
Think about it.
Tao Zhou simply opened the simple package he carried with him.
Inside was a navy blue mink cloak.
“Catch it!”
The words fell.
He threw the cloak to Su Jianyue.
Su Jianyue caught it with both hands.
"This dress of yours is really eye-catching. It's safer to wear this one."
Tao Zhou is right.
Su Jianyue put on the cloak.
The thick material kept out the cold wind, but also concealed her outfit, which was out of place in this era.
The two of them are running neck and neck.
Su Jianyue originally thought that Tao Zhou would rush to take her to Tuokou Town.
Who knows, this person is not in a hurry at all.
He also took out a bag of fragrant vegetable cakes from the bamboo basket hanging on the horse's back.
He gave Su Jianyue one, took out another one for himself, and then wrapped the remaining ones in oil paper again and stuffed them into the basket.
Then he walked forward slowly, eating vegetable cakes and swaying like rowing a boat.
Su Jianyue took a big bite of the vegetable pancake.
Follow him.
From early morning to noon.
He ate three pancakes without any hurry.
Su Jianyue couldn't help it.
"Sir, I really have something urgent to do in Tuokou Town. Could you please go faster?"
“No rush!”
He looks calm and composed.
Holding the reins, he moved forward while humming a little tune.
The more Su Jianyue looked at him, the more she felt that this man was a charlatan.
Not reliable at all.
She must have been out of her mind to believe his lies and ask him to take her to Tuokou Town.
finally.
Tao Zhou stopped.
Su Jianyue was about to burst into flames.
He actually stopped!
"Ouch, you're early!"
He shook his head and smiled awkwardly at Su Jianyue.
Handed over another vegetable pancake.
"How about another one, girl?"
Su Jianyue's tongue tip touched the inside of her lower lip.
"You're deliberately trying to delay my work, aren't you?"
"No, no!"
Tao Zhou smiled meaningfully again.
He set his eyes on the road ahead.
"After the girl finishes eating this vegetable pancake, it won't be too late for us to set off!"
Su Jianyue turned her head away.
"I don't believe your nonsense!"
Tao Zhou didn't force it.
With a little regret, he began to eat the last piece of vegetable cake in the oil paper package.
The last bite, just swallowed.
Suddenly, there was a rumbling noise behind them.
Tao Zhou spurred his horse and made way.
The horse under Su Jianyue also followed the stallion's pace and hid to the side.
A large group of people, holding machetes in their hands, each one looking ferocious, rushed forward rapidly.
The uncoordinated footsteps raised a cloud of dust.
Soon after, a group of people appeared in front of the road.
The number is comparable to this side.
"ah!"
"Kill!"
"Brothers, go ahead!"
"rush!"
They don't even have a slogan in place.
It only takes a blink of an eye.
The two sides started fighting.
You chop me and I chop you, we fight with real swords and real weapons, without any nonsense.
It's like they are enemies who will never see each other again in this life or the next.
Su Jianyue looked at the scene in the distance with shock.
Tao Zhou didn't seem surprised at all.
He half-closed his eyes and tapped the horse's neck with his fingers.
"How do you know there's going to be a fight here soon?"
Tao Zhou smiled brightly.
"To be honest, this is a divination technique passed down from my family and cannot be passed on to outsiders."
A family-inherited divination technique?
Last name Tao?
etc!
"What was your name, you just said?"
A hint of hurt appeared on Tao Zhou's calm face.
"You are so young, how come your memory is so bad?"
He still holds her at the top of his heart.
Who would have thought that this girl, who had been with him for half a day, couldn't even remember his name?
It's really frustrating!
"My surname is Tao, my given name is Zhou, and my courtesy name is Huashu. Miss, please don't forget it again!"
Tao...Hua Shu?
Her goddamn milk.
Isn’t this the most famous sorcerer in Tianyu recorded in history books?
According to historical records, Emperor Zunsu's obsession in this life was to find an elixir of immortality.
Coincidentally, Tao Huashu was the only one who was assigned by Emperor Zunsu to go to Yinghai to find the Penglai Fairy Mountain and seek the elixir of immortality.
According to legend, Tao Huashu's divination skills were particularly effective.
Many natural disaster warnings were obtained and all became reality.
But later, he went to Yinghai to seek immortals and ask for medicine.
From then on, it disappeared into the vast ocean.
Some people said that he couldn't find the elixir and was afraid of being punished by Emperor Zunsu, so he simply took his entourage to Yingzhou, proclaimed himself king, and founded a new dynasty.
Some people also said that he had achieved great success in his cultivation and had ascended to become an immortal.
There are many different opinions, but no evidence to support them.
Until later generations, no one has been able to solve this mystery.
Su Jianyue secretly cursed herself for having a pig brain.
How could she forget such an important person?
"Sir, can you really tell fortunes?"
Tao Zhou's face turned slightly red.
"I've said before that I can read and write, and I have a basic understanding of ancient and modern times!"
Su Jianyue asked again: "So, you appeared behind me this morning and talked to me because you figured out my identity?"
"No!"
Tao Zhou shook his head.
"This morning, I got up and read my fortune as usual. The fortune said that when the fifth watch comes and the sky is about to brighten, the first person I see when I push open the door will be the noble person I will rarely see in my life. If this noble person is on my chin, my future will be limitless."
Su Jianyue: “…”
hehe!
Should she applaud him?
Praise him again, his calculations are really accurate?
"As for the girl's identity!"
He paused and continued, "It's not hard to guess. His Majesty had lived in the same guest room as the girl before. Although I don't know why the girl is still there after His Majesty left for a long time and didn't catch up with him, but there are rumors that His Majesty is blessed by the gods. I can guess the girl's identity with just a little deduction!"
After all, she is a girl who can appear beside His Majesty and live in peace.
Apart from the legendary god, there is no one else here!
"and you……"
