Upon seeing the two of them, Su Ruojin and Yuan Hong were both stunned.
"Aya, Dapu, it's you guys?!"
The two were Aya and Dapu, who were disguised as men.
“Princess, we know you’ve come to Xiaoyue and even traveled to Liuzhou with the Emperor. We also want to come and help,” Aya replied.
Aya didn't dare tell Su Ruojin. She first discovered that Yuan Hong was not in the palace and went to ask Lu Hong, but Lu Hong refused to say anything.
She was worried about her younger brother and had no choice but to use Gu magic on Lu Hong. She learned that the Eldest Princess had also come to Xiaoyue and that Yuan Hong had come to Liuzhou.
She immediately told Dapu about it, and the two of them decided to sneak out of the palace and ride after him on horseback.
"Princess, please don't send us back. I know Gu magic, and I'm sure I can help," Aya pleaded, afraid that Su Ruojin would have them sent back.
Dap also pleaded, "Princess, I have been practicing martial arts recently, and Commander Liu said that my skills have improved. I can also be of help."
Su Ruojin sighed inwardly. Oh well, they're already here, and it's already this late. She can't possibly send them back now.
And she does actually need Aya's help with something right now.
"Okay, I won't have anyone take you back, but you have to follow instructions and not run around."
“Okay, we will definitely follow your instructions.” Aya and Dapu nodded hurriedly.
"Perfect timing, Aya. I'm looking for my master right now. Do you have any ideas?"
Su Ruojin once read in a book about Gu that sometimes Gu masters have their own unique ways of communicating.
I just don't know if there's a similar connection between Aya and Master Wu.
Su Ruojin suddenly thought of this question on her way to Liuzhou and regretted not asking Aya first. She didn't expect Aya to secretly come over on her own.
Aya nodded quickly upon hearing this, "Yes, when I was little, my master taught me how to raise a Gu worm. This kind of Gu worm can only accept the scent of one person in its lifetime. Once it accepts it, it can find that person no matter where they are. The one I raised back then was trained with my master's scent. I'll release it now."
"Okay. Do we need someone to follow it?" Su Ruojin didn't know much about this communication insect.
"No need. The signal crickets come in pairs. If one is released, the other will stay with me. They will sense each other."
"Tell me when you find them, and we'll set off immediately." Su Ruojin no longer hesitated.
"Hmm!" Aya took out a small black jar, no bigger than a thumb, from her bosom, walked outside the tent, turned the jar upside down, and a black insect the size of a grain of rice flew out, circled once, and flew southeast.
After Aya returned to the camp, Su Ruojin said to Yuan Hong, "You should go find your elder brother."
"Yes, Sister Jin." Yuan Hong obediently turned around and left the tent to study with Su Jiu'an.
Throughout the journey, Su Jiu'an explained to Yuan Hong the knowledge that emperors needed to learn in the carriage. Yuan Hong studied very diligently and did not find the journey boring at all.
Having just arrived in Liuzhou and set up camp today, Su Ruojin wouldn't allow him to relax. Yuan Hong's time was indeed too tight, and he had to make the most of every moment.
After Yuan Hong left, Su Ruojin looked at Aya with a half-smile and said, "Aya, why don't you get a communication bug for Yuan Hong too?"
Aya was taken aback, then panicked, "Your Highness, I was afraid something would happen to Yuan Hong. Not only Yuan Hong, but Da Pu is also in danger. I... I didn't mean to."
As she continued speaking, Aya's voice grew softer and softer.
Strictly speaking, Yuan Hong is the emperor of a country. By doing this, Aya is essentially controlling the emperor's whereabouts, which is treasonous.
Actually, Su Ruojin had some doubts when Aya was brought to the camp by Liu Jing.
Even if Aya knew they had come to Liuzhou and followed them, how could she find their camp so easily?
Keep in mind that they had only recently set up camp in this place, and it was a carefully chosen spot, not just any random roadside. She had even set up a simple formation.
Let alone Aya, even for the people of Beili, finding their location is not an easy task.
