Brain supplement champion
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines on the branches covered with dew. The misty air is filled with the smell of grass. Several horses are drinking water by the stream.
Although it was a quiet and peaceful morning, Bai Miaoke was in a very bad mood.
Because the black-faced man woke me up before dawn yesterday!
"Are you up? You guys should leave quickly." He said in a businesslike manner.
Bai Miaoke was very unhappy about being forced to get up. She could endure the bumpy ride on horseback, but she could not endure the pain of getting up early.
Chun Xing, who was well aware of her young lady's bad temper when waking up, stood aside with her head down and kept silent, silently mourning in her heart for this big brother who had a sour face but a kind heart.
As expected, Bai Miaoke changed her image of a wronged and weak scholar from yesterday and said in a rogue tone: "This place is not your home, why should you let us go?"
Hearing this, Jinyiwei leader Rong Qing was not a pushover. He took the knife from his back and threatened, "Our master doesn't like to see outsiders. If you don't leave, don't blame me for bullying the scholar."
Rong Qing spoke in a low voice, and Bai Miaoke did not deliberately lower her voice, so several Jinyiwei who heard the voice surrounded her.
Bai Miaoke secretly took a look at their well-trained appearance. Any one of them would not be her opponent if they came out alone, but if there were ten of them together, she might not get any advantage, not to mention that the other side had a master who had been hiding in the tent. She didn't know how powerful he was.
After analyzing the pros and cons, Bai Miaoke showed his flexible character, waved his folding fan and acted like a gentleman, saying, "Sir, you misunderstood. We are very grateful for bothering you for one night, so we should not continue to bother you. But we are new here and don't know the way. Could you please show us the way?"
This was quite pleasant to hear. Rong Qing's expression lightened up a little and he asked, "Where are you going?"
Bai Miaoke answered roughly: "We want to go to Yecheng, which way should we go?"
Rong Qing's heart moved, and he remembered the route planned by the prime minister. He raised his hand and pointed in the opposite direction to avoid meeting these two difficult scholars again.
Although Bai Miaoke was a little directionally challenged, when she saw that the direction he pointed was the same road they came from yesterday, she knew that the other party was trying to trick her.
But he still took Chun Xing over there, and when he passed by the tent of the so-called "young master", he raised his voice and said, "Thank you, brother. We will meet again if we are lucky."
Humph, if you don’t let her sleep, then no one can sleep!
Lu Yu in the tent had woken up a long time ago, but he didn't want to go out to avoid being recognized. However, the voice just now sounded inexplicably familiar.
When he lifted the curtain and came out, he saw two figures, one tall and one short, gradually disappearing into the distance.
He secretly mocked himself for starting to have auditory hallucinations after not seeing him for two days.
After resting, the group continued on their journey.
Less than half an hour after setting off, they ran into Bai Miaoke and Chun Xing who were riding horses in front of them.
Rong Qing spotted the two scholars from a distance and immediately stopped the carriage. He asked Lu Yu in the carriage, "Sir, we ran into those two scholars again. What should we do?"
"Let's take a detour."
As he spoke, Lu Yu lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked forward, just in time to meet Bai Miaoke's eyes when she turned back. Even though it was a man dressed as a woman, he recognized her at a glance.
"Okay." Rong Qing was about to order the people in front to change direction.
Then, the usually calm and composed Lord Lu excitedly said, "No! Catch up with them."
Bai Miaoke was also surprised to meet Lu Yu here. It turned out that the young master these people were talking about was him.
She reined in her horse and stopped, raising her eyebrows as she watched the group approach.
The carriage soon caught up. Seeing the person he had been thinking about for the past few days standing in front of him, the prime minister, who was always eloquent, didn't know what to say for a moment.
In the past few days, Lu Yu has been regretting that he had displeased her that day, but it was difficult to speak in front of so many people, so he could only say: "I haven't seen you for a few days. I wonder how you are doing recently?"
Bai Miaoke looked at him with some confusion, not knowing what he wanted to say.
He replied vaguely: "Very good."
To Lu Yu, these words meant that the girl was still angry. Although he had no experience, Lu Yu felt that it should not be too difficult to coax the girl.
Since God has given him another chance, he will never let go this time.
He smiled and said, "I want to go to Jiangnan too, I can go with you."
Bai Miaoke rolled her eyes and readily agreed: "Okay."
Lu Yu smiled even more happily: She really wants to go with me. Girls are shy and she should be more proactive.
So he continued, "It's hard to ride a horse, come on the carriage."
Bai Miaoke decisively refused: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. Although my second brother and I are scholars, we still have the strength to ride a horse."
Lu Yu: ...
The other guards were still confused and looked at the two men warily.
Bai Miaoke didn't care at all. She gave Chun Xing a look, and the two of them rode ahead.
Rong Qing stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Sir, are we leaving too?"
Lu Yu nodded: "Follow them, send two people to explore the way ahead of them."
Rong Qing should be, and guessed in his mind the relationship between these two scholars and the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is a person who values talents. Could it be that these two scoundrels...scholars have great talents?
The group continued on their way.
When they were far away, Chun Xing asked quietly, "Brother, do we really want to go with them?"
Bai Miaoke held the reins nonchalantly and said, "Let's follow them to Yecheng first. Once we figure out the route, we'll go first. If we hurry, we'll have to take a carriage. How long will it take us to get there?"
Chun Xing covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Brother is really smart."
They walked one after the other for the whole morning. Fugui looked helplessly at his master who had lifted the carriage curtain for who knows how many times, and asked, "Sir, do you want to stop and eat and rest for a while?"
Seeing Lu Yu nod, he raised his voice and shouted to the two horsemen in front of him: "You two..."
He also recognized that this was Miss Bai, but seeing her dressed in men's clothing, he didn't know how to start the conversation and looked at Lu Yu for help.
Lu Yu said, "Mr. Bai, please take a rest here."
Bai Miaoke responded: "Okay."
I thought: It seems that the Prime Minister does not want to reveal his identity as a woman. Is he afraid of causing misunderstanding?
After Bai Miaoke and Chun Xing dismounted, they sat under a sturdy tree and took out the dry food they had brought with them to have a bite.
I saw Lu Yu walking towards this side after getting off the car, and naturally sat next to Bai Miaoke.
A pair of sharp eyes looked at Chun Xing. Chun Xing felt so scared that she looked at Bai Miaoke for help. Seeing that she didn't react, she curled her lips and took out a bag of dry food from her bag.
Lu Yu, who usually kept her emotions to herself, could hardly control her expression. This little maid actually thought she was a beggar...
Bai Miaoke burst out laughing, and her bad mood improved a lot after eating two or three meals of dry food in a row.
She smiled and said, "Prime Minister, please tell me what you want to say."
Seeing that she had no intention of asking the maid to avoid her, Lu Yu had no choice but to speak tactfully: "I was wrong about what happened that day, please don't hold it against me."
Bai Miaoke was stunned for a moment.
After three days, she had already forgotten her unhappiness. He was just a good-looking and somewhat interesting man, not worth her worrying about.
Finally remembering it, she waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I would have forgotten it if you hadn't mentioned it."
Prime Minister Lu, who has always been meticulous, overestimated his thoughts: Could it be that she was blaming me for not telling her about going to Jiangnan?
So he explained: "It is difficult to disobey the imperial order. I will not do it again in the future."
Bai Miaoke's mind: What is he talking about? What is the divine command? What does it mean that he will never do it again?
But she was a little sleepy after eating, and was too lazy to ask too many questions. She simply lay on her back on the grass under the cool shade of the tree, and soon fell asleep with the fragrance of golden osmanthus in the air.
Lu Yu waited for a while but didn't hear a reply, so he turned around and saw her peaceful sleeping face.
The early autumn sunshine shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves, sporadically onto her fair skin, as if countless stars were twinkling, making Lu Yu unable to take her eyes away.
So Prime Minister Lu, who was always polite, just stared at him for half an hour.
Until Rong Qing came over and asked when to set off.
While he was still hesitating about how to wake her up gently, Bai Miaoke woke up by herself.
She was indeed asleep, but that did not stop her from remaining a little alert to the outside world, so she woke up when she heard Rong Qing's voice.
She sat up and rubbed her eyes, then stood up and brushed off the weeds on her body. She looked like an elegant scholar again, as if there was someone else sleeping on the grass just now.
Glancing at Lu Yu who was still standing next to her, she asked, "Prime Minister, have you rested well?"
The implication is that we can set off now.
Lu Yu thought she was concerned about him, so he nodded modestly: "Very good."
Bai Miaoke nodded: "Let's go then."
Having said that, she took Chun Xing and led the horse away without waiting for his response.
The afternoon's journey was still along the path marked by Lu Yu. He did not invite Bai Miaoke to get in the car. He sat alone in the car writing and drawing something.
When Fugui wanted to serve him as a writer, he was rejected.
As the sun was setting, Rong Qing came to report: "Sir, the nearest Ye City is still more than thirty miles away. Should we rush into the city overnight or rest nearby for a night?"
Lu Yu finally put down his pen, lifted the curtain and looked at the two people riding horses in front of him, and said calmly: "Set up camp nearby and rest, and enter the city tomorrow."
Bai Miaoke didn't know that someone felt sorry for her hard work of riding a horse. When she heard the sound, she just sighed secretly in her heart. God knows how much she wanted to lie comfortably in bed and sleep.
But there was no other way. Why did she insist on taking the small road? I regretted it, I regretted it so much.
Rong Qing was very efficient and quickly found a flat and open place.
This time, Bai Miaoke didn't have to ask anything and she was assigned to the same tent as Chun Xing.
After the two of them put away their small bags, Bai Miaoke took the initiative to suggest going to hunt some game.
Lu Yu: "It's not safe for the two of you to go." Then he gestured to Rong Qing to arrange someone to go with you.
Rong Qing agreed, but he was doubtful in his heart that these two scholars who looked so weak could catch any prey.
Lu Yu was not good at hunting, so he stayed in the tent and continued writing and drawing.
Bai Miaoke and Chun Xing walked in the front, followed by a few people sent by Lu Yu.
After walking deeper into the woods for only a cup of tea, Bai Miaoke spotted a wild rabbit. Before the people behind could react, she had already thrown a stone, hitting the rabbit on the back. The fat rabbit limped two steps before Chun Xing put it into her bag.
At this time, the few Jinyiwei who followed him looked at this thin scholar with new eyes. Just now, they didn't even see how he made the move.
As Bai Miaoke caught two more fish and a vole, the Jinyiwei who followed her no longer had the energy to protect people, and they all started looking for prey seriously. It would be too embarrassing if they went back empty-handed.
While they were shifting their attention to possible prey around them, Bai Miaoke whispered to Chun Xing, "I'm going to steal the route map tonight."
