761 target, that madman is jumping off the tower again
Although they were in a hurry, the boring journey was full of fun because of each other's company. Even if they were eating cold and hard steamed buns, they could look at each other and smile while eating, which was more satisfying than eating delicacies from land and sea.
I don’t know if it was because the way an ordinary couple got along that night irritated the Ninth Prince, or because after leaving the imperial city, the Ninth Prince no longer had to be so high and mighty and cold on guard against outsiders. For the rest of the journey, the Ninth Prince didn’t care at all and showed his gentle and considerate side to Feng Qingchen.
Although the Ninth Prince’s actions were not obvious enough or good enough, they were enough for Feng Qingchen. This was the kind of life she dreamed of.
There would be no power struggles, no conspiracies, no endless assassinations. If possible, Feng Qingchen hoped that they could live like an ordinary couple for the rest of their lives.
When spending the night in the suburbs, the Ninth Prince Uncle would personally roast wild game for Feng Qingchen to eat. Although the meat was burnt black and bitter, Feng Qingchen still ate it all at the risk of getting cancer, and then rubbed her greasy mouth on the Ninth Prince Uncle's face until she made him lose his temper.
When passing by the edge of the cliff and seeing the plum blossoms blooming high up, the Ninth Prince would stop, fly to the edge of the cliff, and pick the most beautiful plum blossom for Feng Qingchen.
Although the flowers were blown away, leaving only bare branches and a few unbloomed buds, Feng Qingchen still held them in her hands with a smile and asked her uncle to pin them on her bun. She would not take them off even if they withered until her uncle picked the next flower.
When they stayed overnight, the Ninth Prince would make hot water for Feng Qingchen so that she could soak her feet and drive away the coldness of the day.
Although the hot water was only slightly warm when the Ninth Prince brought it, Feng Qingchen still foolishly placed her feet in the basin and would not move even when the water turned cold, unless the Ninth Prince came to hug her. Every time, the Ninth Prince would give in, fearing that her cold air would enter his body.
When Feng Qingchen slept, her hands and feet were cold and it took a long time for them to warm up. When the Ninth Prince knew about this, he unbuttoned his clothes and held Feng Qingchen's hands and feet in his arms to keep her warm.
Although the Ninth Prince asked for a change of clothes when he got up the next day and Feng Qingchen had to wash the clothes, Feng Qingchen was still very happy and enjoyed it.
Wang Jinling was right, all men had to be active. It took ten days to walk from Xuanxiao Palace to Xiling Imperial City, and it was during these ten days that the Ninth Prince got used to picking fresh plum blossoms for Feng Qingchen.
Although he had never asked Feng Qingchen whether she liked plum blossoms, and no girl in Jiuzhou Continent wore plum blossoms in her hair.
At night, the Ninth Prince would automatically warm Feng Qingchen's hands and feet, regardless of whether the weather had become warmer or not. Anyway, he did not need Feng Qingchen's opinion on the things he decided, and Feng Qingchen just had to do as he was told.
At first, the Ninth Prince was very awkward and somewhat unwilling, but now? His movements were so smooth that Feng Qingchen even doubted, is this guy the Ninth Prince?
Regardless of whether it is true or not, Feng Qingchen is enjoying his current life very much. He even felt a little depressed when he arrived in Shangjing, which is the imperial city of Xiling.
When they arrive in Shangjing and their living conditions improve, will the Ninth Prince still do those trivial things for her, which are a loss of face and pride for men of that era?
It shouldn't be! Feng Qingchen laughed at herself. It was indeed easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. She estimated that it would take her dozens of times longer to adapt to the days without the Ninth Prince's considerate company.
The two of them lined up to enter the city like ordinary people in Xiling. The officials checked them again and again, and after verifying that they were all correct, they let them enter the city. Feng Qingchen was in a daze at this time. The Ninth Prince couldn't pull Feng Qingchen, so he could only push her gently: "Why are you standing there? Let's go."
This is Xiling, not a place to be idle. If their identities are discovered, even if they die in Xiling, no one will stand up for them because they are infiltrating the enemy country.
"Oh, here I come." Feng Qingchen staggered a step and hurriedly followed the Ninth Uncle.
In order to sneak into Xiling without being discovered, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen prepared their disguises in advance and also prepared their badges and a series of identification documents.
Feng Qingchen's name is Chen Qing, and the Ninth Prince's name is Lin Jiu. They are an ordinary couple from a small town south of Xiling, and they came to Beijing to visit their relatives.
It is a pity for the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen that they are actually husband and wife but cannot call themselves so. When they come to a foreign country and have to create a fake identity, the Ninth Prince will certainly not let go of this opportunity.
Yes, abroad, a foreign capital, Feng Qingchen went abroad and came to a foreign capital. But Feng Qingchen sadly discovered that she was not excited at all and did not feel like she was going abroad at all.
When she set foot in Xiling's territory before, she sighed that she could be considered a person who had gone abroad. However, looking at the lifestyle which was similar to that in Dongling, she really couldn't find the mood to go abroad. She thought that Shangjing would be a little different, but after a closer look, she found that Shangjing was similar to the Dongling Imperial City. Feng Qingchen looked disappointed.
It’s a waste of trip abroad!
The Ninth Prince seemed to know what Feng Qingchen was thinking. Taking advantage of the opportunity when they passed by each other, he whispered in Feng Qingchen's ear: "The Lan royal family has ruled this continent for nearly a thousand years. Even though this continent is divided into pieces and each city is its own, their lifestyle and habits will not change. They are still the people of the Lan family."
Feng Qingchen looked up at the Ninth Uncle. This was the second time that the Ninth Uncle said so solemnly that the Lan family was the ruler of this continent.
She always felt that the Ninth Uncle was related to the Lan family, and had an even more special relationship with Lan Jiuqing, but this was not the place to talk. Feng Qingchen suppressed her curiosity and continued walking forward, as if she had never heard what the Ninth Uncle had just said.
Although Shangjing is not much different from the Imperial City, it is still an unfamiliar place for Feng Qingchen, so Feng Qingchen did not dare to walk around and followed the Ninth Uncle obediently.
The Ninth Prince did not continue the previous topic and led Feng Qingchen towards the largest inn in Shangjing. But at this moment, the crowd suddenly surged towards the east.
"Quick, go and see, that madman is jumping off the tower again."
"What? You said that the crazy guy who jumped off the tower is here again. Wait for me. I'll go there even if I have to pack up my stall. I wonder if that crazy guy will break his leg this time."
"This has happened for the umpteenth time. He jumps off the tower every once in a while, but he can't die. If he wants to die, he'll just find a knife and touch his neck."
…
As these people talked, they moved towards the east, making it clear that they were going to join in the fun.
No matter where they are, no matter how the times change, ordinary people cannot change their love of watching the fun. When they hear that someone is jumping off a tower, they will rush over in droves.
The crowd was so crowded that they almost separated the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen. Fortunately, the Ninth Prince was quick-witted and took Feng Qingchen to a corner.
Feng Qingchen never participated in such boring things. In his previous life, he had heard too many people jumping off buildings or jumping into rivers. They would just sit on the rooftop whenever they had nothing to do. If they wanted to commit suicide, they would not be so straightforward but would have to wait until the police, doctors, and onlookers arrived before they would jump off the building desperately.
Feng Qingchen looked down on people who committed suicide. Since they had the courage to commit suicide, didn't they have the courage to face difficulties? If they really wanted to commit suicide, just climb up quickly and jump down, and don't give people the chance to save you.
The street that was quite busy just now was now empty with only two or three kittens left. Feng Qingchen pulled Uncle Jiu's sleeve and said, "Let's go."
"Let's go too." The Ninth Prince lowered his head and pointed to the place where the crowd was surging.
Feng Qingchen frowned. You know, Uncle Nine is not someone who likes to watch the fun: "Why?"
"That person is the one we are looking for."
The Ninth Prince pointed at the tall spire in the east. This was the tallest tower in the Kyushu Continent...
Words to readers: Dear, do you know who that crazy guy who jumped off the tower is? Hehe... Yesterday's monthly votes were so powerful that Caicai was embarrassed to update three times today, but I'm really sleepy, please forgive me!
