Chapter 245 I won't keep my chastity for you
Qi Yanzhou got up from the bed and, with the light coming in from outside, lit the spare oil lamp placed in the corner of the room.
He placed the oil lamp on the table and looked at Ye Chutang lying on the bed.
"When Xi Ze went to the southern border, he had already made arrangements for the pick-up, but the whole world belongs to the king."
The number of people Caesar arranged for the reception was limited, while the emperor's men were everywhere.
Ye Chutang got down to the ground and asked as he put on his clothes, "Can the witch doctor meet us before the poison takes effect?"
Qi Yanzhou wanted to say “it’s not a big problem”.
But when he met Ye Chutang's warning look, he told the truth.
"Half a chance."
After he received Caesar's letter for the first time, he arranged experts along the way as they headed north.
Make sure A'man and Xize can catch up with the exile team as quickly as possible.
He has done everything he can, and now it all depends on fate.
After Ye Chutang put on his clothes, he walked to the round table and pointed at the word "Jizhou" circled with charcoal.
"We stop here and wait for the medicine man to join us."
After that, she asked Qi Yanzhou, "Do you know where they are now?"
Qi Yanzhou hadn't received any letter from Xize for half a month and could only guess his approximate location.
He circled a piece of land with his finger.
"About here."
Seeing that the location pointed out by Qi Yanzhou was unclear, Ye Chutang picked up the charcoal pencil on the table.
She drew a route from the capital to Jizhou.
"The witch doctor must not have arrived in the capital yet. This is the closest way to Jizhou. You should arrange enough people to ensure that she can get to Jizhou smoothly."
Even if the witch doctor cannot get to Jizhou in time, she can find him along the route.
Qi Yanzhou looked at Ye Chutang who was worried and touched her head.
"Okay, I'll let Nan Xiao do it."
After saying that, he held Ye Chutang in his arms, his hand falling on her slightly bulging belly.
"Atang, I will be fine. I will watch the baby being born and grow old with you."
"Wait until you have cured the fire poison before you say that."
Ye Chutang said this, turned around and looked at Qi Yanzhou, winking playfully.
"If you die, I will not remain faithful to you and remain single for the rest of my life. If you don't want your child to call someone else dad, then live well."
"Okay, I promise you!"
Qi Yanzhou put away the map and went to put on his coat.
Ye Chutang packed his bags and they went downstairs to wash up.
Everyone filled their water bags with well water.
As the weather gets hotter, the amount of water you drink every day increases significantly.
But due to the drought, it is difficult to find a place to get water on the road.
Therefore, each person brought at least four water bags to prevent thirst and dehydration.
The postmaster knew that the exile team would set out at the hour of Mao, so he asked the postman to get up an hour earlier and prepare breakfast.
Millet porridge, meat buns and pickles, all you can eat.
Although the Chen and Ye families did not get to eat meat buns, they got to drink thick millet porridge.
They ate bowl after bowl of rice like starving ghosts.
The weather is getting hotter
When setting off, the postmaster handed the prepared dry food to Wu Chenggang.
"This is what the prefect asked me to prepare specially."
There are no hard-to-swallow black-faced steamed buns. The worst ones are the multi-grain steamed buns.
Then there are vegetable buns, meat buns and meat patties, and some meat sauce.
The postmaster also asked his men to bring over two baskets of vegetables.
A basket filled with fresh vegetables.
A basket is padded with a mat made of reed fluff, with ice cubes at the bottom and pickled meat and vegetables on top. It can be stored for two days without any problem.
Wu Chenggang accepted them all.
"Please ask the postmaster to thank the prefect on my behalf."
After saying this, he asked his men to load the food and dishes onto the carriage.
"Set off!"
When the exile team left, the Dingzhou city, which should have been dark, was brightly lit and the people all came to see them off.
As usual, many people spontaneously sent gifts to the Qi family.
Not only food and clothing, but also silver and copper coins.
Because the people thought that the Qi family wanted to change the dynasty, they needed a lot of money to recruit soldiers and horses.
Qi Yanzhou accepted some dishes symbolically without asking for a single penny.
"The drought will continue, so everyone must store more water."
"Master Qi, Madam Qi, you must be safe!"
The exile team left Dingzhou City amid the sincere expectations of the people.
After leaving the city, Sun Chu handed Ye Chutang several silver notes worth one thousand taels.
"This is the money from the sale of that box of rare treasures. I asked the shopkeeper to round it up to an even number, four thousand taels."
After receiving it, Ye Chutang asked about the property in Sun Chu's hands.
Sun Chu was very satisfied with the career he had built and talked about it with great enthusiasm.
Old Madam Qi looked at the two people who were talking happily and felt worried.
She held Qi Yanzhou's arm and said, "Azhou, I want to tell you something."
Qi Yanzhou rarely saw his mother so serious, so he slowed down his pace to match her and gradually fell to the back of the team.
"Mom, what do you want to say?"
Madam Qi stared at the back of Sun Chu's head and whispered, "Zhou'er, be careful with Master Sun. He's been getting close to Tang'er lately, and his face is almost broken with laughter."
Qi Yanzhou didn't notice anything wrong between Ye Chutang and Sun Chu.
He felt that something must have happened to make his mother feel this way.
"Mom, are you overthinking it?"
Seeing that her son didn't care, Madam Qi immediately told him about Ye Chutang taking the note from Sun Chu and what happened when the two of them were alone in the room.
"Zhou'er, mother trusts Tang'er very much and knows that she knows her limits, but Young Master Sun doesn't know how to avoid suspicion. You need to talk to her."
Although Qi Yanzhou didn't know what happened between Ye Chutang and Sun Chu.
But he had absolute trust in Ye Chutang.
“Mother, your worries end here. Even if you only target Sun Chu, it would be disrespectful to Atang.”
Of course, Madam Qi knew that it was not good to make assumptions about others.
Isn't she afraid that her daughter-in-law will be abducted?
"Mom knows. I won't do it again, but you have to keep this in mind."
After saying that, the mother and son who had fallen behind quickly walked forward.
After walking for more than an hour, Han Chong found a shady place for everyone to rest.
Qi Yanzhou took this opportunity to meet Nan Xiao.
Nan Xiao's face was sunburned and peeling, with red and black spots.
Without waiting for Qi Yanzhou to speak, he immediately took out the letter he had just received and handed it over.
"Master, this is a letter from Caesar."
Helping Qi Yanzhou to detoxify his fire poison is what his confidants care most about.
Qi Yanzhou wants to live, and cares about the movements of Xize and the witch doctor more than anyone else.
He immediately took the letter and opened it to read.
