Chapter 114 The Wandering Travel Group (Part 45)
Before Miao Jiang could comment on Nan Huan's speculation, he felt as if someone was fighting with him for control of his body.
"I can't hold on for too long. The national teacher will be online soon. When I come online again, I will go directly to you."
She quickly gave instructions and took a quick look, "After the discussion, separate as soon as possible. This bunch of weird people standing together will easily arouse suspicion."
Although I still have many doubts in my mind, the current situation is not suitable for further discussion.
Miao Jiang was afraid that after the national teacher came online, he would question the reason for coming here, so after explaining all this, he planned to leave this place first.
Everyone originally planned to disperse, but before they had taken two steps, their vision went dark in an instant.
【bite--
Death countdown day 10. 】
The system prompt sounded, and before Nan Huan could be surprised, he felt a shake.
After finally steadying myself, I opened my eyes and found myself in a carriage.
The carriage was padded with bedding and was quite spacious, but the vehicle underneath was not very stable and the direction of movement of the carriage was quite bumpy.
I was so careless. Nan Huan held on to the corner to steady himself.
She originally thought that the countdown would only be compressed when role-playing was suspected, but now she realized that the time originally reserved for them for role-playing was not continuous. No wonder it was day 30 at the beginning?
Judging from the situation, he should have left the palace and was preparing to head to Ghost King Ridge.
She carefully lifted the curtain and wanted to see the scenery outside.
As a result, he saw Lingyue who was following the carriage at a glance. When he saw her lift the curtain on her own initiative, he lowered his head and approached.
It looked like he was following the princess's instructions, but in fact he was telling Nan Huan what he had observed.
"We have been away from the palace for some time. According to the schedule, we will reach Ghost King Ridge in less than two days. Of course, this time is the real time that has passed. The Imperial Master has received the order from King Jiang to escort you to the blessing ceremony."
Lingyue spoke in a low voice, and while she took out a handkerchief to wipe the princess's hair, her eyes wandered to the front of the team.
"President Miao should not have taken control of the body yet. I have been observing her, and she has not reacted. Also, maybe our acting last time affected the plot, so everyone from our team came to the blessing ceremony this time. The maids and guards are at the back of the team, so they have no reason to get close to you. In addition, President Alice is following the national teacher."
Lingyue is very organized. Normally, when Nineteen and the others are busy and she is not needed, she would be very silent. But now that other people around Nanhuan are temporarily useless, she can share the information she has collected with Nanhuan in the shortest time and make predictions by the way.
"The reduction in the countdown should not be because the player's roleplaying was discovered. After all, the system did not give any punishment prompts. At the moment, the first countdown has been reduced by 20 days. There is no pattern to it for the time being, but at this rate, we don't have much time."
I originally thought that they would be able to stay in the palace for a long time, so collecting information would only be a matter of time.
Unexpectedly, when they opened their eyes again, they had left the magnificent palace.
"Miss, do you have any ideas? I think the two murderers, the Imperial Master and King Jiang, are already very clear. Even though we may not know the specific plot yet, I always feel like something is not right."
Fortunately, in the eyes of others, the princess played by Lingyue has always been responsible for the princess's daily life and diet, so no matter what the princess tells her, it will not arouse others' suspicion.
This allowed Lingyue to discuss this issue with Nanhuan openly.
Nan Huan leaned one hand on the window, seeming a little dazed by Lingyue's question.
"Miss, Miss..." Lingyue didn't get a response, so she called twice, "Are you feeling unwell?"
After all, the eldest lady has a special physique, and the road here is indeed not easy to walk on, so Lingyue thought she was not feeling well.
"Oh, it's okay." Nanhua came back to his senses and answered the other party's question. "You think it's wrong because the answer is too obvious. It seems that we didn't have to play all the scenes to get such an answer. The setting of the game is not proportional to the report, and it is even a little unbalanced. This doesn't happen in other games, so you think it's wrong."
"If the answer is really these two people, or just these two people, then we can answer it now, and we don't even need to go through the countdown later..."
Nan Huan understood what Ling Yue wanted to say, "But I think another thing is also very strange."
"Why do you think the system chose this time period for us to play?"
Nan Huan never believed that the system would be so kind, nor did he think that it would put the riddle on the puzzle early on and then use it to fool the players.
But it seems that these can be put aside for the time being, as she is not concerned about these things.
Lingyue obviously didn't understand what Nanhuan wanted to say, "What's wrong with this time period?"
"You just said that it's less than two days' journey from here to Ghost King Ridge?"
"Yes..." Lingyue pondered this sentence carefully, and felt that something was about to come out.
"We can't see the leader for a while, so what's the point of role-playing during this journey? It can't be just to make up the time..."
While Nan Huan was speaking, her eyes were fixed on the figure of the Imperial Master in front of her. Before she could finish her words, she saw the Imperial Master turning around with his horse and walking towards her carriage.
"It seems that my guess was correct. During the journey, before reaching the destination, the Imperial Master met with the princess alone."
Before the Imperial Master came over, Nan Huan was the first to look away. "She is not Miao Jiang, she is the Imperial Master. Please step back and see what she is up to."
"Miss, you must be careful. I'm outside the carriage. If anything happens, just shout."
"Don't worry."
In fact, Nan Huan knew that this was an acted scene, and as long as she was not discovered, there would be no danger. However, she knew that Lingyue was worried about her, so she did not bring it up.
"The princess didn't look very good in the past few days. It's rare that she looks lively today."
As Lingyue stepped back, the Imperial Master's horse had already arrived in front of Nanhuan. The Imperial Master held the reins and matched the speed of the carriage, and exchanged a greeting with Nanhuan for no reason.
Nan Huan didn't know whether her bad complexion was real or fabricated by the Imperial Master, but she wanted to get some information from him, so she just went along with the response.
"We are almost at our destination. I have to take advantage of this last bit of time to relax. Otherwise, I won't have any chance to do so again in the future."
This statement is a double entendre and not so clear, but it can make the national teacher understand the hidden meaning of his words.
Nan Huan had already acted unrestrained in the palace before, and since King Jiang was not present, it was normal for her to act a little unrestrained.
"Princess, you are joking. It is just a blessing ceremony. Why do you make it sound like King Jiang wants to send you to the guillotine?"
The Imperial Master looked at Nan Huan with a half-smile on his face, but his words did not come from his heart.
Nan Huan did not expose her lies, nor did he argue with her. Instead, he asked without any context, "But I am a little confused. Why did you choose me in the end? How do you know I can do it? What if I fail like the three princesses before me?"
A hint of surprise finally showed in the national teacher's tired eyes, as if he really didn't expect the other party to ask this question at this time.
She turned her head and looked at the other person's still innocent face. This was the first time she looked carefully at the princess's appearance instead of trying to find the shadow of someone else through her face.
"I didn't choose you at the end." The national teacher corrected him, "I chose you from the beginning. It's always been you from the beginning to the end. To be precise, it's not that I chose you, but that this is your mission and the meaning of your existence."
In fact, this is just a role-playing game. Nan Huan has never forgotten it since he entered here.
Although she knew this clearly in her heart, when the national teacher said this, Nan Huan felt very upset. The national teacher was obviously talking about the real princess, but why did she feel so uncomfortable and disgusted?
"The meaning of anyone's existence is determined by herself, and has nothing to do with what others give her, whether it's mine or someone else's."
Nan Huan retorted, "But what I'm more curious about is that even though you, the Imperial Master, have so blatantly denied the meaning of my existence, even though you are such a princess, you still willingly stayed by King Jiang's side for so many years, waiting for me to grow up and enter the palace. From this point of view, I don't think it's a loss."
Anyway, the national teacher now needs to complete the blessing ceremony by himself and will not easily do anything bad to himself.
Nanhuan’s main point is to avenge a grudge immediately and never delay it.
If anyone makes her feel uncomfortable, she will not let that person have an easy time.
The imperial teacher had not actually observed the princess carefully before, or had any communication with her. After all, in his eyes, she was just a tool.
But she didn't expect that a tool would have such strong thoughts.
"Are you trying to provoke me so that you can escape before I arrive?" The Imperial Master couldn't guess Nan Huan's purpose for a moment. "Don't forget, those people in the village are still waiting for you to come back. If anything unusual happens here..."
"You think too much."
Nan Huan curled his lips in disdain, "I just simply don't like you."
"If I want something, I will fight for it with all my might, instead of hiding behind someone, using someone else's hands to do dirty things, or using some deceptive means. Or when you really get the result you want, when the person you care about asks about it, can you look her in the eye and tell her exactly what you did?"
"Or maybe now that it has come to this, you might as well tell me the truth. What exactly do you want to do? I don't believe that going to Ghost King Ridge to pray for blessings is because you really want to find a way for King Jiang to live forever. What do you want to exchange my life for? As a party involved, I also need to have the right to know, right?"
