Tangled

After the medicine was applied and the acupoints were untied, Shen Qiqi couldn't help but gasped.

Although she had made sufficient mental preparations, she never thought that it would be so painful.

Even though the medicine is cool and refreshing, it still can't completely cover up the pain that seems to be scorched by fire.

The blisters on the soles of her feet were all broken, and she was given medicine, so she could no longer walk—at least not within a stick or two of incense.

She couldn't wear shoes on her medicated feet, so Gu Tingshu carried her to the board, covered her with two coats, and turned back.

He was born tall, for the petite Shen Qiqi, just an ordinary coat is enough to cover her from head to toe.

The clothes had just been washed, and they couldn't smell anything, Shen Qiqi turned around, looked at them for a while, and couldn't help yawning.

Although the days of traveling outside are fulfilling, it is also true that I do not have enough rest.

She could hold on a few days ago, but these days she is getting weaker and weaker.

It was okay when she was on the road, but when she stopped to rest, she couldn't help feeling sleepy.

Although she still wanted to listen to what they had to say, she couldn't resist the sleepiness that struck her.

When she fell asleep, Mu Chengze clapped his hands, took out a dry steamed bun and slowly roasted it beside the fire.

"It's time to go to Xingshan Town tomorrow. Anyway, there is no rush. Let's rest there for a few days so that my cousin can take care of herself."

They were used to rushing, so naturally they didn't feel anything, they were just worried that Shen Qiqi would not be able to bear it.

"Have you noticed that my cousin has lost a lot of weight these days?"

Not only has she become thinner, but she has also turned darker a lot. The little beauty who seemed transparent under the moonlight in the past has become real now.

Gu Tingshu glanced at him, but did not answer the words.

If he hadn't acted on his own initiative, how could she have suffered this pain.

Everything has been arranged in the capital, she will not have any problems staying in the capital, besides, people from Jiangzhou are also here.

If someone from the Shen family came to the capital, she would naturally not let her suffer any more grievances, and it would be fine if she took over to live for a while.

Fortunately, she was brought out, not only to hide it from the people in the Hou's mansion, but also to prevent the Shen family from discovering it.

Although they don't care about reputation, if she is a girl, if people know that she is accompanying them, she will definitely suffer rumors after returning.

Although Gu Tingshu didn't speak, he said everything he wanted to say with just one glance.

Mu Chengze touched his nose in embarrassment. Before he came out, he didn't know that this road was so difficult.

From now on, all the roads will be official roads, even if they are not official roads, they will all be flat roads, unlike this road, it is full of sharp stones.

Obviously this mountain road has been passed for decades, but I don't want this stone to be still so...

Huh? ?

Logically speaking, the stones on this road are passed by people and caravans every day. The stones on the ground should have been smoothed long ago. Why are they still so sharp now?
He finally discovered something unusual and whispered it to Gu Tingshu.

Gu Tingshu also discovered this problem, but he didn't want to discuss it. Now that Mu Chengze found out, he had no choice but to accept it.

"These stones, I'm afraid someone did them on purpose."

"Since someone did it on purpose, why hasn't anyone discovered it for so many years?"

"Pedestrians and caravans in the past have seen such stones every time, so naturally they don't think much about it."

People who walk often don't think about this problem, and those who walk occasionally don't notice it.

"It's such a big deal, I don't know who made it."

Mu Chengze shook his fan and sighed silently.

It seems that Ningzhou is not as poor as the report, otherwise, how could anyone be willing to spend so much effort to find stones to pave such a road.

The road is difficult, and outsiders are unwilling to come. If there is no contact, then the situation in Ningzhou will be even less known.

The country is too big, no matter how diligent he is, it is impossible for him to know the situation of all the cities. Apart from Ningzhou, there are many places that he doesn't even know the names of.

Those who hide in the dark obviously know this situation, so they are so unscrupulous.

"Ashu, the strength of the two of us is still too weak."

He suddenly let out a sigh of emotion, Gu Tingshu raised his eyes and said "Mmm".

His Majesty has not fully delegated power, so they do not have complete information on various places, and the shadow guards have not yet been handed over to the Crown Prince, so the manpower is naturally insufficient.

"My wolf guards are still incomparable to my father's shadow guards."

Not only are they incomparable, but the difference in strength between the two is at least ten times greater.

"Brother talks too much."

In the barren mountains and wild mountains, no one knows if there is someone who can hide in the dark. If you talk too much, some people will feel jealous.

It's true that they are father and son, but they are also monarchs and ministers.

Some things, if the king takes the initiative to give them, they belong to the ministers. If the king does not give them, the ministers can only obey.

"When I go back, Ash will help me train them. After so many years, their strength hasn't improved much."

Mu Chengze patted Gu Tingshu's shoulder and let out another long sigh.

His energy is really limited, and he didn't cultivate the seedlings that were originally good.

"After I go back, I'm afraid I still have some work to do."

Gu Tingshu didn't agree, but had a plan in mind.

"There are many capable people and strange people in the world. When the time comes, find a few and help you train them."

Mu Chengze nodded, now it seems that this is the only way to go.

"By the way, what are you going to do with him?"

A young man with a weak mind, although his martial arts is high, it seems that he can't be entrusted with important tasks.

If he could understand what he said, it would be good to let him train the shadow guards, but judging from his performance today, it was really unsatisfactory.

"He is fast and his martial arts are not weak, so he must be useful."

He only said half of what he said, explained it, but didn't seem to explain it, and didn't say what it was useful for.

Mu Chengze rolled his eyes angrily, "If you put on a show again, I won't give it to you."

Although Amang's brain is not very good, but using delicious food to seduce him is not impossible to make him obedient.

"Brother wanted it, so he took it. There are so many capable people in the world, and I don't lack this one."

He accepts people everywhere, but it doesn't mean there is a lack of people.

"Farewell, I'm not poor enough to rob you."

Anyway, no matter where the other party is, the ultimate beneficiary is himself, so why should he worry about it.

"When I get back, I should get married. Ah Shu, you should hurry up and put this matter on the agenda."

While talking, he looked towards Shen Qiqi, raising his eyebrows from time to time, like an unscrupulous playboy.

Gu Tingshu patted his hand on his shoulder, smoothed his clothes and asked, "How many times have you said it, but you never said who the other party is."

Obviously before, I was picking and choosing to see if no one was satisfied. I didn't think that it would be a few days before I said that I had found the right person.
