Chapter 16
"Nonsense!" Zhou Erlan said speechlessly after hearing this.
"Hey, young master, have you ever been there? You say I'm talking nonsense?" The storyteller also had good hearing. When he heard this, he immediately refuted it.
"I haven't been there, but you haven't been there either, have you?" Zhou Erlan looked at him and retorted.
"Young master, you can go and give it a try. Don't be offended by the gods there. I warned you!" The storyteller also had a temper and slammed the desk.
Zhou Erlan hesitated after hearing his confident words. He glanced at Zhou Xuanqing, who was calmly drinking tea, and pursed his lips. The imperial sister was still the same as before, never helping him.
If it was Zhou Qiuyu, the imperial sister would have spoken up to dissuade him a long time ago!
But the words were already out of his mouth, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "I'll go check it out right away. I'll be there in the middle of the night on horseback!"
After Zhou Erlan finished speaking, he picked up the cup and took a sip, then saw Zhou Xuanqing put the cup down. When he thought that the imperial sister would speak to persuade him not to go, he didn't expect her to stand up and speak directly.
"We'll go right away. If it's different from what the master said, we'll come and make trouble!"
After Zhou Xuanqing finished speaking, he went out first.
Song Henian watched and couldn't help but smile. The emperor's unique way of education was really enviable.
Zhou Erlan followed Zhou Xuanqing and jumped on the horse, rushing forward angrily one step ahead of Zhou Xuanqing.
Zhou Xuanqing said a few words to Xuan Yi, and then walked out with the remaining Xuan Er, Mu Tou, Song Henian and Zhou Erlan.
"Miss, I have never seen you scold Master Lan. Let me see it sometime!" Song Henian said with a smile.
Zhou Xuanqing smiled lightly and said coldly, "Impossible."
"I don't understand one thing. Master Lan was impulsive today. Couldn't you just give him some advice? Why did you have to go through so much trouble and test it yourself?" Song Henian looked at Zhou Xuanqing and asked his doubts.
Let's say Zhou Xuan dotes on Zhou Erlan, always letting him experience the dangers of the world. Let's say she doesn't care, but she never scolds him and even praises him every time. How strange!
"Some truths, understanding them yourself and being told by others are two different things. Your old man has explained many truths to you, how many of them do you remember?" After Zhou Xuanqing finished speaking, he looked at Song Henian with disdain and galloped forward.
Song Henian thought about it carefully and realized that there really wasn't one... Tsk!
No matter how much you say, it is not as good as experiencing it yourself, and words are not as good as actions!
Mu Tou listened to Zhou Xuanqing's words and silently remembered the sentence: There are some truths that knowing them yourself and being told by others are two different things.
The emperor is really powerful, everything he says makes so much sense...
"What?" As soon as Lu Di arrived in Fuze City, he was informed that the emperor and the prince had already gone ahead to Lu'an County.
"Well, I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion to check the accounts first, and then rush over later. Zhixuan and Tangmi, come with me!" After saying that, Lu Di looked at Tangmi and Zhixuan.
"Okay, we'll wait for the butler to go together." Tang Mitang responded with a smile. It just so happened that she hadn't had lunch yet, so she decided to find a place to eat first.
"Tang Mi, you have to come with me first." After Xuan Yi said that, he grabbed Tang Mi's reins and pulled the horse and her to his side, then stretched out his big hand and pulled Tang Mi onto his horse.
Xuan threw the reins to Zhixuan and said, "You and Steward Lu, keep an eye on the horses."
After saying that, he left with Tang Miyang.
Tang Mi looked at him in bewilderment. Frightened by the horse's speed, he closed his eyes tightly and asked in a trembling voice, "Xuan Yi... where are you going?"
"Looking for the emperor." Xuan Yi had a cold face and his voice was equally cold.
"I think it's okay for me to go with the Prime Minister..."
"no."
"I...have you eaten yet?"
"No."
"Are you hungry? We can eat something first..."
"Need not."
"Xuan Yi...can we ride slower?"
"no."
…
Tang Mitang was speechless. If Xuan Yi wasn’t so powerful, she really wanted to bite him to death!
Here, Zhou Xuanqing and his four companions finally arrived at Lu'an County at midnight after a long and arduous journey. Lu'an County was engraved on a stone in front of them, and the north wind whistled in their ears, rustling wild grass.
Mu Tou saw a dark figure running through the grass, hugging Zhou Erlan's arm, burying his head behind his back, and saying in a trembling voice, "Master..., there's something over there!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Erlan nervously looked towards the bushes, tentatively searching with his eyes. When he saw a wild cat, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Blockhead! That's a cat!"
"Woo~"
The wind blew up dust all over the ground, and the eyes of several people were instantly filled with dust.
Zhou Xuanqing covered his face with his sleeves and walked forward with Xuan Er and Song Henian.
Seeing this, Zhou Erlan threw away the wood and ran in front of Zhou Xuanqing, saying that he would not let a woman stand in front of him no matter what.
Zhou Xuanqing saw his actions and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Mu Tou was suddenly pushed away. Frightened, he held his sword and followed Zhou Erlan in small steps, staying close behind him and looking around vigilantly.
On the street, dim lights were on in the empty stalls. Just as a few people walked past, the wind blew in, making a sharp whistling sound, and then the lights suddenly went out.
“Ah~”
"Hold your breath!" Zhou Xuanqing said, covering his mouth and nose and looking at the rising smoke. A red figure vaguely floated across the street.
Mu Tou covered his mouth, rolled his eyes, and fell backwards.
With a "puff", the wooden body fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Zhou Erlan pulled him up and carried him on her back with disgust, having actually forgotten that Mu Mu was afraid of ghosts!
"Hiss~ Master Lan, you have a rash!" Song Henian said, glancing at his wrist and stepping back in surprise, "Ah! I have one too!"
"Xuan Er is up too!" Song Henian shouted in surprise after looking at everyone.
Zhou Xuanqing grabbed their arms, took a look at them, and smiled speechlessly.
"This poison is caused by contact. Sorry, I just made a wrong judgment."
"Uh. It's okay!" Song Henian quickly shook his head. Who would accept the emperor's apology? Besides, it's not her fault. The wind will blow and everything will be gone. Who knows?
"My hands and feet are numb after the rash appeared. Ouch, my legs are numb." After saying this, Song Henian took the opportunity to pounce on Zhou Xuanqing.
Zhou Erlan threw away the wood and pulled Song Henian away. He looked at him fiercely and warned him, "You! Stay away from my sister!"
"Hey~ Mr. Lan, you are in a bad mood! The emperor and I are husband and wife! Sooner or later you will have to call me brother-in-law!" Song Henian steadied himself and fought back angrily.
"You are just wishful thinking! The princess doesn't like you!" Zhou Erlan said as he drew his sword.
"Oh my, you're so awesome! How do you know the emperor doesn't have me in his heart?" Song Henian said, sticking out his tongue at him.
"Hey! You're looking for death!" Zhou Erlan said, and slashed at him with the sword.
