Chapter 550
On the official road a hundred miles away from Jingzhou City, a group of people hurried over.

"How far is it to Sanhe Town?" Wen Ruyan asked.

After running around for two consecutive days, Rao, his face is also a bit more tired at this moment, dust is everywhere in his purple clothes, and Su Bai next to him can't bear to look directly at him even more, his white clothes have now turned into gray clothes, It looked like a mess.

Hearing his question, Ji Yuan tore off a piece of meat from the pigeon's leg in one gulp, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, then said: "It's still more than 70 miles to return to Your Highness."

Wen Ruyan nodded, and said directly: "Let's go, work harder, and try to get to Sanhe Town before dark!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the rein of the horse and wanted to move forward, but at this moment, a hand that was originally fair and slender but now had a little more dust suddenly pulled the rein in his hand from the side.

Wen Ruyan was taken aback, then turned his head to look, only to see Su Bai with a dark face, holding the rein in his hand and staring at him non-stop.

Wen Ruyan said angrily, "What are you doing?"

Su Bai snorted coldly, and said directly: "For two days and one night, I slept with you for less than four hours, and the rest of the time was spent on the road, won't your conscience hurt?"

Wen Ruyan was startled, then looked him up and down carefully at the moment, and then a smile appeared on his face, and said: "It's not that I asked you to come with me, you have to follow me , blame me?"

Su Bai's face immediately turned darker.

He has always been aloof, and he has no other friends in Yanjing City except Wen Ruyan and Yang Ping, and Yang Ping has to deal with a lot of military affairs every day, so how can he have time to stay with him every day.

The last time Wen Ruyan went to Changyue, for more than a month, he basically stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion every day, except for occasionally going to the palace to check the body of Emperor Zhou, there was nothing else to do.

Just imagine, how boring is this kind of life?
That's why when Wen Ruyan came to Jingzhou this time, he followed him. He thought that staying with friends would be better than staying at home by himself, but he found out that it was better to stay at home.

This guy is like a donkey who is tireless, he only travels all day long.

If Su Bai didn't think he couldn't beat him, he probably would have fought him long ago.

Even Su Bai sometimes wondered if he should drug Wen Ruyan.

After thinking about it later, I decided to forget it. This guy is really too smart. If he finds out, with his black-bellied temperament, he still doesn't know how to take revenge on himself.

After a long time, Su Bai looked at Wen Ruyan and said, "I want to rest!"

After saying these four words, he said it again in a very firm tone: "I must rest!"

Wen Ruyan thought for a while, anyway, it's not far away, so it's okay to take a rest.

Thinking of this, Wen Ruyan turned around and told Ji Yuan and the others behind him, "Let's take a rest where you are."

Ji Yuan stepped forward, took another bite of the pigeon leg in his hand, and then said: "Your Highness, I heard that there seems to be a current not far from the south."

When Su Bai at the side heard this, a gleam of joy appeared on his face. He listened carefully, and then without saying a word, he carried the package and walked straight over there.

Wen Ruyan looked at his impatient back and smiled again.

Su Bai also has a slight obsession with cleanliness. He has been able to hold back his silence after running around for so long because he has a good temper.

After the rest of the people sat down, Ji Yuan grabbed two white carrier pigeons from the cage on the horse and said, "Don't even mention it, this thing is really delicious."

Ji Ning and the others immediately had black lines on their faces.

Ever since Wen Ruyan left Beijing, there have been a steady stream of pigeons flying towards Jingzhou. Wen Ruyan intercepted quite a few along the way, but there were too many of them, and many of them slipped through the net and flew towards Jingzhou. past.

While Ji Yuan and the others were roasting pigeons, Wen Ruyan's eyes suddenly froze and he looked straight into the distance.

I saw a group of people suddenly appearing on the official road in the distance.

Wen Ruyan looked carefully, and saw that the group of people were all in ragged clothes, disheveled hair, dusty faces, and staggered walks, either supporting each other by two or leaning on a stick. Branches as crutches.

There are men and women among them, and they look as embarrassed as they want.

Seeing this scene, Wen Ruyan frowned immediately, and saw that he was walking towards the group of people.

After he stepped forward, he stopped the leading old man and asked, "Old man, are you... disaster victims who escaped from the famine?"

The old man first took a look at Wen Ruyan, saw that he was dressed luxuriously, had a handsome face, and had an extraordinary temperament, so he guessed that he was not an ordinary person.

He took a step back in trepidation, fearing that the stench on his body would offend the young master in front of him.

And the large group of people behind him also stopped at this time and looked at Wen Ruyan.

When Wen Ruyan saw his appearance, there was a wry smile on his face at that moment, and he took another step forward, and then asked again: "Old man, look at the direction you are coming from, but you escaped from Jingzhou. ?”

The old man first sighed deeply, and then said: "If you go back to this young master, we are the victims who escaped from the famine in the village outside Jingzhou."

Wen Ruyan frowned, and said: "It's just the beginning of spring, and it's the time for spring planting. There have been no natural or man-made disasters, nor have locusts flooded and damaged crops. How could they escape from famine?"

The old man raised his head and took a deep look at Wen Ruyan again, before he sighed and said, "My lord is right, although we haven't encountered the disaster you mentioned, how can natural disasters compare to it?" Man-made disasters? Sometimes man-made disasters are far more severe than natural disasters!"

After he finished speaking, Wen Ruyan was about to ask again, but the old man shook his head and waved his hands, saying: "Young master, don't ask any more questions, we don't dare to ask you about some things." As I said, if you are curious, just go ahead, you will meet more people on the way, and you will naturally learn more things. I have to continue walking for the sake of my life, not many I wasted my son's time."

After saying this, the old man passed Wen Ruyan and walked forward. As soon as he walked, the group of people who followed him followed immediately.

By this time, Wen Ruyan's brows were already tightly knit together.

Man-made disaster?

Could it be that some terrible corrupt officials appeared in Jingzhou?
Thinking of this, Wen Ruyan turned straight and walked towards the group of teenagers surnamed Ji.

"Take out your silver taels, go buy the clothes of the disaster victims, and change them all!"

Ji Yuan was taken aback, and said, "Your Highness, what happened?"

Wen Ruyan's eyes were like water, and he looked directly in the direction of Jingzhou.

After Su Bai washed and changed his clothes and came back, he saw the scene in front of him and froze in place.

I saw that Wen Ruyan and the group of teenagers surnamed Ji had all changed into the clothes of the disaster victims at this moment, and even smeared dust on their faces, they really looked like the people who fled the famine.

Su Bai was stunned, and was about to ask, but at this moment, Wen Ruyan threw the dirty clothes in his hand onto Su Bai, and said, "Put him on, and then go on your way!"

Su Bai's face darkened immediately.
