"I received guidance from the gods and came here from Sulou County to solve the drought problem."
Although he was a little tired, Mingyu still put away his sword swiftly and clearly.
"Thank God."
The onlookers clasped their hands together and muttered something.
"Thank God, now we don't have to worry about this year's autumn harvest."
"God bless my family and keep them safe."
Someone asked loudly, "Master Wuzhu, could it be that you are the divine messenger?"
Mingyu looked at the man, and the man looked at Mingyu with shining eyes.
"I don't know what a divine messenger is."
"I heard there's a divine messenger in the south. I heard he came from Sulou County." As if worried Mingyu wouldn't understand, the man added hastily, "He also said the people of Sulou County got the plague because they believed slander."
"I did come from Sulou County and conveyed the will of the gods to them, but I am definitely not a messenger of gods. I am just a messenger."
Mingyu was sincere in the last sentence, she really is not, so don't spread this shameful title.
The man took two steps forward, looking very anxious. Wu Pi slightly stood in front of Mingyu to prevent the man from rushing over directly, but the man just glanced at Wu Pi and continued to look at Mingyu eagerly.
"Can you also tell us the will of God?"
Mingyu felt that the people around him gradually quieted down, and all their eyes were focused on Mingyu.
"When a villain plots to murder an upright person, do not blindly follow or trust him. Be careful to discern."
After saying that, Mingyu walked out, and the people silently made way for him.
"Lord God's Messenger..."
The man saw that the legendary messenger of God stopped, but did not turn around. He just turned his head to the side. The raindrops wet some of his hair, and the raindrops seeped into his forehead and disappeared into the veil.
"Just call me Gu Bei."
He felt his heart beating like a drum, and he held his breath unconsciously, and the sound became clear and slow.
"So where is Master Gubei going next?"
"Me?" Gu Bei smiled beneath her veil, her brows curved. "Of course I'll continue my journey."
After saying that, Gu Bei did not stop and continued to move forward, and the voice gradually faded away.
"Everyone, get out of the rain and go back."
Gu Bei had already left. He was awakened by his companions calling him. He hurriedly followed his companions towards home and looked back at the extinguished fire.
Spring had arrived, but he still had much to do.
…
Shaking off the people who followed them, Mingyu and his group returned to their residence to change clothes. When Mingyu came out after changing his clothes, Yu Tongan and others were already waiting in the main hall.
When they got closer, Mingyu clearly felt that Wu Ren looked at her with a strange look.
A mixture of disbelief and admiration.
"how?"
Wu Ren hesitated for a second, but finally spoke frankly: "I thought you were a scoundrel who tricked the young master into protecting you."
"..." Mingyu felt that this misunderstanding was a bit out of place, "Then thank you for protecting me."
Wu Ren was stunned for a moment, then replied in a daze, "You're welcome."
Mingyu felt somewhat powerless and turned to ask Yu Tongan: "...How did he become your bodyguard?"
She thought that anyone who stayed around the fox Yu Tongan should be quite smart.
Yu Tongan said succinctly: "He's quite a fighter."
Wu Pi also nodded silently.
Mingyu took a deep breath and put aside all the trivial things.
"Now that what needs to be done is done, we should go."
The safest thing for them to do is to leave before the emperor reacts.
"Everything is ready, we can set off now."
As soon as Yu Tongan finished speaking, the people around him looked ready to take action, but Mingyu interrupted them.
"I suggest we split into two groups."
"Why? Why do we suddenly have to go our separate ways?" Yu Tongan frowned and began to think about whether there was something unusual going on just now. Were they being targeted?
"We shouldn't have left together in the first place. If something really happened, do you think your identity as the eldest son of the Yu family would work here? Now that your identity is discovered, it will only drag down your Yu family."
"Then just don't get discovered."
Yu Tongan's brows relaxed and he felt a little relieved, but he still disagreed with Mingyu's proposal.
"I thought you noticed something was wrong. We should leave this Prince An's fiefdom right now. I'm worried about letting you go alone. Your current identity as a shaman is too conspicuous."
Mingyu understood that if she went out now, she would easily be discovered by the people, but for this reason, Yu Tongan was even less suitable to stay with her.
According to Gu Muxing's calculations and the worst-case scenario, if she died, she shouldn't die with Yu Tongan.
Perhaps seeing that Mingyu's expression was a little off, Yu Tongan asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
"My horoscope says I'll be in danger in Wanyong."
"Nativity chart? Where did you get this?" Yu Tongan stood up and approached Mingyu. "Then shouldn't we unite our forces and leave as soon as possible?"
Mingyu did not dodge, but looked directly at Yu Tongan and just asked a question.
"Do you believe in horoscopes?"
Different people have naturally different views on horoscopes. Which side does Yu Tongan belong to?
Yu Tongan didn't say whether he believed it or not, he just didn't agree with Mingyu's idea.
"Nothing is absolute, right? Did you know from the beginning that you would end up like this?"
Mingyu explained calmly, "I'm in the horoscope and can't predict it myself."
Yu Tongan didn't like Mingyu's attitude when talking about things related to witchcraft. It was a state of being detached from the world and isolating himself from others. Mingyu in this state couldn't understand or listen.
"Who told you that? Who did you meet yesterday? Gu Pingyuan?"
Mingyu didn't understand why the question came up about who he met. He frowned and found it so difficult to understand Yu Tongan for the first time.
"Why won't you go your separate ways?"
Yu Tongan suppressed his temper and asked Mingyu, "I'm wondering why we can't go together. It's too dangerous to go separately. There simply aren't enough people to protect you."
"Okay, I understand your attitude."
Yu Tongan doesn't believe in horoscopes, but she does.
"That's fine, let's go together now." Yu Tongan emphasized the word "together".
Wu Ren and Wu Pi were so frightened by the argument that they dared not utter a word. The atmosphere in the main hall was completely different from what it was a moment ago.
Seeing that Mingyu didn't say anything else, Yu Tongan took two steps forward, turned his back to Mingyu, then his neck hurt, his eyes went dark, and he didn't know what had happened.
When they woke up again, Wan Yong was no longer there.
He looked around the carriage and saw that he was the only one there, with no sign of the Mingyu man.
"Wu Pi!"
Yu Tongan called out to Wu Pi loudly and pulled his neck. The pain in his neck told him what was happening.
"I'm here."
The carriage stopped and Wu Pi lifted the curtain and looked in.
"Sir, are you okay?"
Yu Tongan stood up and walked quickly out of the carriage. It was almost dusk and the rain had stopped. The crew of the convoy was exactly the same as when they came, except that the Mingyu man was missing.
Yu Tongan turned around and asked Wu Pi, "Where's Mingyu?"
"Miss Ming has already left on her own."
"She left?" Yu Tongan laughed in anger, "You just let her go like that?"
"Ms. Ming said that the young master fainted. She has the most say on the matter."
…
Wu Ren caught the fallen Yu Tongan and looked in shock at Mingyu who had put down her unsheathed sword. Wu Pi stood in front of Mingyu to prevent her from doing anything else.
"What are you doing?!"
"Reduce differences." Mingyu hung the sword back on his waist.
She had discovered it before, and she didn't know whether it was true or not, but Yu Tongan was definitely not good at martial arts.
But she happens to be good at it.
Wu Ren was incredulous.
"Did you reduce it like this?"
"That's how it's done in the palace. Killing them is easier than persuading them." Mingyu spread his hands, his expression innocent. "Alright, there's no need to be on guard against me. I'm the boss here now, right?"
Wu Pi fell silent. Yu Tongan had indeed told them about this matter before.
Looking at Wu Pi's expression, Mingyu knew that Wu Pi must know.
"Then do as I say. You leave a horse for me, along with food and silver, and everyone else goes back to Huanzhou."
"The young master said before that you should come with us." Wu Pi objected.
"Ah, I overturned it." Mingyu looked at them with a smile, "How else would you take me away? Kidnap me? But your young master is still lying there, and I have a sword in my hand. In a two-on-one situation, I am confident that I can injure your young master first."
Wu Pi retorted calmly, "You wouldn't do that."
"But you don't dare to gamble, do you?"
Wu Pi fell silent, and Wu Ren shouted behind him, "Despicable!"
"Okay, do as I say."
Afterwards, Mingyu waved goodbye to them in the main hall.
…
Yu Tongan took a deep breath. This was the right of decision he had arranged for Mingyu. It was originally intended to give Mingyu the greatest freedom of disposal, but he didn't expect that the first use would be to target himself.
"Miss Mingyu also said." Wu Pi paused. He felt that the young master would be even angrier after hearing this.
After just a few seconds, Yu Tongan was already getting a little impatient.
"say what?"
"Say, 'Remember to take advantage of Gu Bei's accident.'"
"Very good." Yu Tongan's voice was calm, without any emotion.
Wu Pi did not get furious as he had expected. He glanced at Yu Tongan nervously. There was no expression on Yu Tongan's face, which made Wu Pi even more panicked.
Yu Tongan turned around and ordered, "Go back to Wan Yong now."
Wu Pi sighed inwardly. The young master was so angry that he couldn't even control his expression. He was probably mad at Miss Ming's arbitrary behavior.
Before Yu Tongan could return to the carriage, a man on horseback came hurriedly from the direction they were supposed to be heading.
When the man came closer, Yu Tongan found out that he was the pigeon manager, responsible for delivering messages.
"Sir, Old Master Yu has an urgent letter."
Yu Tongan took the letter and opened it, his face turned ugly.
News was told to Old Master Yu that the emperor wanted to marry Yu Tongxin and bring her to the palace to wait for her to grow up. Now his grandfather wanted him to go back immediately to discuss countermeasures.
Yu Tongan tightened the paper in his hand and gave orders in a cold voice.
"Wu Ren, go to Wanyong and find someone to look for Mingyu, and the rest of you go back to Huanzhou."
After saying that, he walked into the carriage without looking back.
