Plan 15
The carriage sped along, shaking back and forth. Qin Yan wanted to sleep but couldn't. However, Gu Qingqu was not affected at all. He fell asleep as soon as he got in the carriage. While sleeping, he used Qin Yan as a pillow. Qin Yan couldn't avoid it. After pushing it away, he immediately leaned towards her again. It was useless to shout at her hundreds of times. Qin Yan was tired of tossing and turning. If he couldn't see her, he wouldn't be annoyed, so he just fell asleep.
Gu Qingqu slept for three days, and the carriage traveled for three days without stopping for a moment. Qin Yan felt something was wrong. Didn’t they say it wasn’t far? It had been three days since he left. It hadn’t even taken him three days to come from the demon world, so Qin Yan pulled Gu Qingqu up and said, “Don’t sleep.”
Gu Qingqu yawned, opened his eyes and asked sleepily, "Are we there yet?"
"I was just about to ask you something." After three days of wandering, Qin Yan's tone was not very good. "Didn't you say it wasn't far? How come we haven't arrived yet after three days of walking?"
"How is that possible?" Gu Qingqu looked even more surprised than him, "The map shows that they are very close."
Seeing him like this, Qin Yan's anger subsided a little, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Let me see the map."
Gu Qingqu took out a map from his sleeve and handed it to him, "Take a look."
The sheepskin map is about three inches wide and about six inches long when unfolded. This map is too small. What can be drawn on it? Qin Yan took a closer look and was speechless. "One to one hundred? Why don't you use one to ten thousand?"
Gu Qingqu said awkwardly: "At least it looks pretty close on the map."
Qin Yan said: "If the proportion is larger, you don't have to go out at all."
"Since we're here now," Gu Qingqu persuaded reluctantly.
Qin Yan has figured out the tricks, the universal golden phrases in the human world, "I'm here now", "What if"
Qin Yan asked him again, "Where are you going now?"
Gu Qingqu lowered his head and looked at the map for a long time, then looked up and asked, "What do you think?"
Qin Yan was shocked, "You haven't been here before?"
Gu Qingqu shook his head and asked, "Who comes here for no reason?"
Qin Yan was speechless, "Go ask the driver."
Gu Qingqu looked embarrassed, "No way"
"He hasn't been here either?" Qin Yan was speechless and could no longer express his feelings. He felt that Gu Qingqu either had a problem with his brain or he must have a problem with his brain.
"No," Gu Qingqu replied seriously, "He can't speak."
Qin Yan was stunned, "Then why did you bring him here?"
"The royal garden is a secret that cannot be revealed to outsiders."
Qin Yan didn't understand his logic, "Wouldn't it be better if you asked your confidant to come?"
"He is my confidant."
Gu Qingqu spoke so naturally that Qin Yan was speechless. He sighed and looked down at the map again, but the scale was too large and he couldn't make out anything. There was only a mark on a place called the Tian'en Mountains.
Mountains? Generally speaking, mountains are dense and uncivilized forests. Qin Yan felt something was wrong again. "Are we going to Tianen Mountain or Tianen Mountain Range?"
"The full name of Tian'en Mountain is Tian'en Mountain Range"
Qin Yan was so angry that he almost laughed, "So what you mean is, I'm injured, you're broken, and I'm mute, and the three of us are going to go into the forest?"
Gu Qingqu blinked his eyes and said, "It's not a big deal. Generals are very human."
Qin Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes, "What kind of general is this?"
Gu Qingqu shook his head, "I don't know the details either."
Qin Yan said: "Don't go, just go back"
"Ah?" Gu Qingqu didn't seem to want to go back. "Since we're here, we might as well go and see how the generals are doing. After all, they are the heroes who helped our ancestors conquer the world."
Qin Yan was even more confused. "So you never sent anyone to check on me?"
Gu Qingqu explained: "It is a forbidden area. No one can enter except the emperor himself."
"I haven't thought of watching it for twenty years, and there's no need to watch it now." Qin Yan didn't want to go at all. He came to cause trouble for Gu Qingqu, not to help Gu Qingqu.
"Master," Gu Qingqu looked at him eagerly, "You've been gone for three days, just go and take a look. I promise I'll leave after taking a look and won't stay a moment longer."
Qin Yan had no choice. It was difficult to get off the pirate ship once he got on it. He couldn't just walk back by himself. To be on the safe side, Qin Yan asked the driver to go to a nearby town and asked Gu Qingqu to take the money.
Gu Qingqu gave it to him happily, but at the same time he was a little curious, "Master, do you want to buy something?"
"yes"
Qin Yan answered with gritted teeth. He believed Gu Qingqu's lies and thought that they were really close, so he didn't bring anything with him. As a result, he had to go to the forest now. Fortunately, the Chaos Stone Ring could be used as a storage space. He had to prepare more things.
Gu Qingqu was very excited, "Master, I will go with you."
Qin Yan held him down and rejected him mercilessly, "I'm going to do something serious, so don't hold me back. Just stay here and don't go anywhere."
After Qin Yan finished speaking, he jumped off the carriage and entered the city. The bag of money that Gu Qingqu gave him was bulging, and Qin Yan spent it generously. He spent money in three streets before going back. I smelled a different kind of fragrance on the road, and when I got closer, I saw that they were selling roast duck.
Qin Yan threw down a silver ingot arrogantly, "I want all the roast ducks"
The boss was delighted when he heard this. "Sir, we have 200 roast ducks in our store. Are you sure you want all of them?"
Qin Yan asked: "Isn't there enough money?"
The boss picked up the silver ingot, took a bite to make sure it was real, and nodded hurriedly, "That's enough," and then asked, "Which house should I send it to?"
"No, I'll carry it."
"Pick?" The boss was stunned. "Two hundred, not two."
Qin Yan replied: "I have been learning illusion since I was young, so even two thousand is no problem at all."
"Are you a master of illusion?"
"Never seen it?" Qin Yan asked with a smile.
The boss shook his head. Qin Yan took out a bamboo dragonfly from the Chaos Stone Ring and placed it on the table in front of the boss. The boss stared at it and said, "Wow, that's amazing!"
Qin Yan smiled and said: "It's no big deal"
"Master, I need your help with something." The boss came out from the counter and said, "Master, come over here."
Out of curiosity, Qin Yan followed him and came to the backyard. The boss pointed at the dead chickens in the cage and asked, "Master, can you bring them back to life?"
Qin Yan looked over and saw a cage of dead chickens. Qin Yan replied: "I am a master of illusion, not an illusion master."
The boss sighed and said, "I don't know what happened. When I woke up this morning, they were all dead."
Qin Yan looked carefully at the dead chickens in the cage. There were quite a few of them, about fifty or sixty. He asked, "Have you poisoned rats recently?"
The boss's dull eyes suddenly brightened up again, "Master, can you still tell fortunes?"
Qin Yan pointed at a dead mouse that had been pecked to pieces in the corner of the chicken coop and said, "Hey, the chickens you raise eat mice. Don't you feed them normally?"
The boss got angry on the spot, "It must be Zhang Xiaosan who is lazy, humph, I'll go find him"
"Hey hey," Qin Yan called out to the boss who was running away, "Where's my roast duck?"
The boss immediately put on a smiling face and said, "I'll prepare it for you right away."
Qin Yan said: "I can install it myself"
"Master, please come this way."
Coming to the kitchen, Qin Yan threw them into the Chaos Stone Ring one by one. The boss watched intently, gave him a thumbs up and praised him non-stop, "What a master!"
Seeing him always throwing things in the same place, the boss became curious and asked, "Master, can I come and throw some?"
If someone is willing to help, Qin Yan is of course willing to help. "Welcome."
The boss was a little unsure about the magic he was using for the first time. He tried several times with the roast duck but didn't dare to throw it away. Qin Yan smiled and said to him, "Relax, the secret of magic is that you have to believe it is real."
The boss looked at him and smiled, muttering, "It's true, it's true," and then let go and threw it away. "Hey, it's really gone," the boss was delighted, "Have I also mastered it?"
Qin Yan smiled and replied: "I'm practicing."
Success brought endless motivation. The boss swung his arms and threw the ducks. Soon, all 200 ducks were thrown away. The boss was a little confused, "How do we get them out?"
Qin Yan smiled and said: "Close your eyes and read, Roast duck is back, roast duck is back."
The boss followed his instructions, closed his eyes and began to chant, "Roast duck is back, roast duck is back."
Qin Yan took out a roast duck from the Chaos Stone Ring, "Isn't it back?"
"Wow!" The boss looked around the roast duck in amazement, and then got closer to sniff it, "It's really my roast duck!"
"Hey, it's mine now," Qin Yan said jokingly, and the boss nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, it belongs to the master."
"The payment has been made. I am leaving now." Qin Yan turned around and left with the roast duck in his hand. The boss saw him out the door and quickly returned to the backyard. He closed his eyes and chanted to the cage of dead chickens, "Bring back the live chickens, bring back the live chickens."
Qin Yan carried the roast duck back to the place where he and Gu Qingqu separated, but when he got there, he found that Gu Qingqu and his carriage were gone. The wind made Qin Yan's heart go cold. Could it be that Gu Qingqu was abducted by some monster again?
Qin Yan looked around blankly for a while and then asked someone, "Hello, did you see the carriage that just stopped here?"
“No”
People were coming and going on the official road outside the city. Qin Yan had been in the city for at least three hours. It was indeed rare for someone to stand here for so long.
Qin Yan thought about it and realized that there was still some money left, enough to buy a carriage. No, if Gu Qingqu was eaten by the monster, why would he go back?
This Gu Qingqu is really troublesome. Qin Yan gritted his teeth and turned back to the city. If there really is a monster nearby, the people in the city will definitely have information about it. He should go and ask.
Qin Yan entered the city and came to a restaurant. The waiter came up to him warmly and said, "Sir, would you like to have a meal or stay overnight?"
Qin Yan gave him some change and asked, "Do you know if there are any monsters around here?"
The waiter immediately became alert and asked, "May I ask who you are?"
"Well, bounty hunter." Qin Yan's ability to make up stories is getting better and better. The waiter obviously has never heard of this profession. "What is that?"
Qin Yan asked: "Do you want to join?"
The waiter asked, "What exactly do you do?"
"Doing business," Qin Yan said impatiently, "Do you know?"
The waiter looked around vigilantly. When Qin Yan saw him like this, he knew that something bad was going to happen. This was really a haunted place.
