Jiang Ling woke up from a nap. Although the road was bumpy and the carriage was not as comfortable as a bed, he still had a good nap and felt a little more refreshed.
She sat up and stretched, then lifted the curtain of the car window and leaned half of her body out.
Jiang Ling closed her eyes and took a deep breath of fresh air. Her lungs felt refreshed as if they had been baptized.
She smiled sincerely, squinting her eyes to feel the breeze brushing against her cheeks.
Zhou Jing'an followed Ye Song's gaze and saw a small head popping out of the carriage window.
Jiang Ling lifted the curtain with one hand and rested the other on the window frame, her eyes curved and her smile rippling.
[Ding~ The male protagonist's favorability value increased by three points, and the current favorability value is 50.]
After the system finished broadcasting, Jiang Ling turned around and looked at Zhou Jing'an.
When Zhou Jing'an saw her looking at him, he suddenly felt nervous and unconsciously took two steps forward.
Jiang Ling's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes were not as curved as before. She nodded to him and returned to the carriage.
Zhou Jing'an paused and his hands suddenly dropped.
"Sir, I'm right, aren't I? If you keep stagnating like this, Miss Jiang won't smile at you anymore." Ye Song came over and said to him seriously.
Zhou Jing'an felt a flash of panic in his heart and turned to look at Ye Song, "Then what should I... do?"
Ye Song's eyes lit up and he nodded with satisfaction, "Just listen to my subordinates, I guarantee you'll be right."
In the carriage on the other side, Jiang Ling was lying comfortably on the couch. Fox appeared and congratulated her. Jiang Ling looked at it and asked, "What's there to be happy about?"
Fox circled around her, "Host, if the favorability value is over fifty, it means that the male protagonist's feelings for you have stabilized and will not easily decline. His liking for the host has deepened, and he will want to be closer to the host."
Close?
Given Zhou Jing'an's cold and aloof demeanor that keeps people at a distance, would you want to get close to him?
If she gets close to him, she might get the response "it's against etiquette".
"And once the favorability value exceeds 50, the loyalty value will also start counting."
Jiang Ling's expression paused, and her face fell in dejection.
She had forgotten that there was a loyalty column in the strategy mission.
Loyalty, it's too difficult to reach 100%.
"Silly, can you change the standard?"
Fox shook his head, "The rules were set from the beginning, and the host cannot change them at will."
Jiang Ling closed her eyes uncomfortably, "Oh."
-
After a simple lunch, everyone headed towards their destination again.
Just after the beginning of the You period, we finally arrived at Qinnan Peak.
It was getting dark at this time, and the sun in the west was about to set, dyeing half of the sky orange, which was quite beautiful.
After arriving at Qinan Peak, we set up camp.
Feng Yu had sent people here once before and found a flat area suitable for setting up camp, halfway up the Qinan Peak.
However, this place is next to a jungle with tall and dense trees. Looking from the outside, you can tell that the sun must be blocked out from inside.
In order to prevent accidents, they chose another forest as the hunting ground.
Although there are many trees there, they are sparser than the place just now, and there are more bushes. The slope is gentle, so it is still suitable for people to walk or ride horses.
It's not far from the camp, just a quarter of an hour's walk away.
However, Jiang Ling was not curious about that place, but wanted to go into the jungle next to the camp to take a look.
This should be the place where Zhou Jingan and his companions got separated after the accident.
It would be great if we could go in and investigate ahead of time, but unfortunately the emperor has sealed the entrances and exits of the jungle to prevent people from getting lost.
After the tents were set up, the emperor sympathized with the hard work of the court officials and their families, and asked them not to pay their respects or anything else, and they could make arrangements together tomorrow.
So after dinner, Jiang Ling went to find Cheng An and Wu Wanying.
She had to tell them some things so that they wouldn't get hurt accidentally.
Jiang Ling asked them, "Did you bring any light clothes?"
Cheng An nodded: "I brought a set. Ling'er, do you want to ride a horse? I'll accompany you."
"I brought it too, what's wrong?" Wu Wanying replied.
Jiang Ling followed Cheng An's words and said, "I want to go horseback riding tomorrow afternoon. You should wear something light and accompany me."
Riding a horse is not important; the important thing is to wear clothes that are convenient for escaping.
"Oh and, did you bring guards with you?"
Cheng An nodded, "My parents were worried about me running around, so they sent two people to me."
Wu Wanying shook her head and said she didn't bring it.
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Ling nodded to show that she understood.
When the time comes, she will just have someone follow and protect them secretly, so that nothing goes wrong and the two of them get hurt if they run too slowly.
Jiang Ling arranged everything very clearly.
She asked Jiang Lianshan for four secret guards, named Wu, Ji, Geng, and Xin, who were ranked after Xiaojia and the other four.
She couldn't directly tell Jiang Lianshan and Meng Wanjie that something was going to happen and ask them to bring more guards for protection. She could only ask them to come over first and then order them to protect them.
Fortunately, she thought that Cheng An and Wu Wanying might not bring guards with them, so she included them in the plan.
Xiaojia followed her, Xiaoyi went to protect Zizhen, Luzhu and others, Xiaobing was left in the capital by her, Xiaoding, Xiaowu and Xiaoji secretly protected Jiang Lianshan, Meng Wanjie and Jiang Yi, and the other two went to protect Cheng An and Wu Wanying respectively.
The bandits in the book only came for two people, so the others would not be deliberately targeted, and one-on-one protection should be enough.
The only thing left was to wait quietly for the bandits...bah, wait for the unexpected to happen, and she wouldn't have to worry about anything else.
The book says that in the end everything was resolved satisfactorily, there were no casualties, and all the missing people were found, so Jiang Ling didn't need to remind them deliberately, just protect the people close to her.
The three of them went out for a walk to help digest their food, strolled along the campsite, and chatted in the night breeze, which was quite comfortable.
Seeing someone in front from a distance, Wu Wanying patted the two of them and whispered, "Look, isn't that Chang Shu?"
Chang Shu?
Jiang Ling looked up and could only see a slender figure. The night was dark and the torch was dim, so she couldn't see the face clearly.
The next second, the figure began to move towards them.
Come here and let her meet the famous Chang Shu.
Jiang Ling said she was ready.
They should be considered rivals in love, right? So when rivals meet, they are extremely jealous of each other?
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Totally wrong.
He didn't even glance at Jiang Ling, he just walked past them from a distance.
Jiang Ling raised her eyebrows slightly.
Wow, so arrogant?
The three of them turned around together and saw the slender figure heading straight for a target.
Jiang Ling understood and clicked his tongue twice.
Is Zhou Jingan covered in honey?
It really attracts a lot of attention.
